Chapter Seventy-One: Draft Day Arrives

The annoyance of American fans came inexplicably, and they thought that Xiao Xiao did not deserve the status of a lottery show.

In fact, a day ago, they were still discussing whether Xiao Xiao will create a miracle, and that miracle is whether Xiao Xiao can enter the NBA with the legendary experience of only learning basketball for three months.

But now that the weight of this miracle has expanded, they are not happy, because they have exceeded the limits of what they can accept.

For American fans, the news was unacceptable. And for those managers in the NBA, it is also unreasonable. Most managers think the general manager who made the lottery promise to Xiao Sao is crazy. It is true that Xiao Shi does have many advantages and coveted potential. But... How could he possibly deserve a lotto draw? Giving him a first round is the biggest gamble.

Under this kind of thinking, many general managers who are interested in Xiao Shi directly crossed out Xiao Sa's name, and they did not intend to pay such a high price.

But with these teams trying to pick up the slack, the dashing names are crossed out. The rest are the teams that really want to be chic.

The first team, of course, is Oklahoma's Thunder, and their management is very bullish from top to bottom. After a very, very long meeting with Eisenhower and others, Sam Presti finally made a decision: "If the lotto promises to be a fake news, then pick Xiao with the twenty-fourth pick." If someone really chooses Xiao in front, use a qiē method to replace him back. ”

No way, Xiao Dash is the one they fell in love with at first sight.

They believe that the sleek three-pointers, the scarlet breakaway, and the scarcity's leadership ability can form the most striking complement to Kevin Durant. Moreover, he and Westbrook are also good brothers, at least not to cause internal divisions. Of course, if OJ Mayo is not selected in the third pick, then the Thunder, who selected OJ Mayo in the fourth pick, will need to be more dashing, because dashing's breakthrough ability will be released even more!

** Out of the eyes of Xi Shi, chic is the Xi Shi of the Thunder team.

It's just that he doesn't know it yet.

The second team that is still interested in the Dash is the San Antonio Spurs, who have never been interested in the Dash, but they do have a very strong interest in the Dash. Because their scouts recorded the game of the day, which Popovich was very, very, very, very appreciative. He didn't appreciate the killer ball at the end. Instead, in the previous six minutes, he felt that Chi fit the Spurs' style of play very well. And most importantly, Manuginobili has been plagued by injuries for the past two years, and the team needs a smart shooting guard to supplement the territory.

Popovich sent the video to their team leader, Tim Duncan, to which Duncan replied, "I like this guy, he fits into our system." ”

This answer represents Duncan's inclination.

The cornerstones of the team have expressed their approval, and Popovich will certainly have to act on it. Their best pick this year is the No. 26 pick, which obviously doesn't guarantee a win for the Spurs. So, they need to trade in the market to get a high lotto position.

However, the question now is that they don't know which team with the lottery has given Xiao Squeng, what if it is in the top 10? What if it's in the top five? There are too many crazy type general managers in this league.

Therefore, in the end, the Spurs' choice is to continue to wait and see. If someone picks Chick in the lotto, they submit a trade request. Be sure to snatch the chic back.

The third team is the Clippers, and the reason why they are still excited about the Dash is because other teams are still excited about the Shaw. In a sense, they don't really like Xiao, they go with the flow. Now that the market has pushed Xiao Down's rank higher, and the reports on Xiao Dash's potential continue to come out, coupled with the deadlock in negotiations with Byron Davis, they are very conflicted, which is equivalent to being pushed to the table, and it is not possible to bet, and it is not okay not to bet. Now that the news of the lotto promise is out, it has undoubtedly given them a shot in the arm. No matter, pick him for the tenth sign!

If the fourth team lets Xiao Sao know who it is, it will definitely surprise him.

Because this team is the Los Angeles Lakers. When their president, Jim Buss, learned of the news of the Lakers' training gym, he immediately kept the utmost attention on him. Subsequently, the news of the Orlando sports training camp kept coming into his eyes. Then he saw the video, got the scouting report and his physical test report, and soon he called Kupcheco and the scouts to analyze Xiao.

In the process of analysis, Kobe Bryant also joined in. Bryant's opinion is that a follow-up could be considered.

Bryant's opinion clearly played a key role, and it strengthened the Lakers' morale. This made Jim Bass determined to take down Dash, even though he knew it would offend Jeanie Buss and even tear his face. But he knew in his heart that sooner or later they would tear their faces apart, and the sooner this day came, the better.

In a sense, the chic became a banner for the family struggle within the Lakers.

As it stands, the Thunder and Spurs are genuinely hoping for a dash. Half of the Lakers genuinely want him to join, and the Clippers are much more passive, but he has a draft pick advantage.

The situation is unpredictable, unpredictable and unpredictable.

But Xiao Sa himself didn't know at all, because none of the four had a connection with him.

At this point, Barbara was still wondering, wondering why her stone had been thrown into the lake without any ripple on the surface. Could it be that it was a mistake? Thirty teams in the NBA don't really pay attention to Xiao at all?

Barbara was particularly unconfident.

However, at this time, countless Chinese manufacturers have found her. Players who want to sign her, and all of them are waving checks.

However, Barbara refused them all.

This makes Xiao Po's heart ache, that's money!

"Players have to be cautious when they choose endorsements and they have to be in line with who they are. You have signed so many low-end and even copycat product endorsements now, and when you become famous, it will become a huge burden for you, like garbage piled up on you, so that you can't breathe. On top of that, now they can't afford to give a price at all, and when you get into the NBA, the price will increase at least tenfold! ”

Barbara's words stopped Xiao Dash's heartache. This painkiller is not Barbara's whisper, but the price behind it.

Money is the only criterion for determining the judgment of the sparkling.

After rejecting countless Chinese products, Barbara finally ushered in an offer from an international brand. Adidas gave Xiao a sneaker endorsement contract of $500,000 a year after tax.

When Xiao Swan got this offer, he surprisingly didn't immediately shout 'sign, sign, sign'. Instead, he calmly asked Barbara: "How much does Kobe Bryant's sneaker endorsement cost a year?" ”

"The endorsement amount is about fifteen or six million dollars!"

"Visa refusal!" Xiao Shi did not hesitate to give a negative answer.

This surprised Barbara, and she asked, "500,000 dollars is not a small amount, and there is no tax, why would you refuse?" You must know that you are not even an NBA player now, and if you are not selected, you can still live the next life with this half million dollars. ”

"There's no way I'm going to lose the election." Xiao replied in the affirmative.

"That's 500,000 is a lot, you must know that many players don't even have sponsorship, and they have to spend their own money to buy their sneakers."

"I just asked Jack and he said the price is too little for a Chinese player to get into the NBA. And I was the first Chinese player to enter the NBA as a shooting guard, and the market potential is huge. Now, I am more popular than many celebrities in China. If I accept this contract at this time, I will definitely regret it in the future. Xiao said with great certainty.

"Okay. I was just kidding you, and I've already given a reply, and my reply is: under $5 million after tax, don't bother! Barbara said with a frown.

"Well done." Xiao Sage gave her a high-five.

Then, Barbara actually gave Xiao Sage a hug.

Xiao Xiao couldn't decipher the meaning of this hug.

However, he knew he had to let go, because Jennifer was coming back early this morning.

For Jennifer, Xiao Xiao very rarely changed his schedule and chose to stay up late, but he didn't wait for Jennifer. It wasn't until the next morning that he heard Jennifer's voice, who told him on the phone that she had arrived in New York, that her new film had started, and that she had to put herself to work.

In this regard, Xiao Sao could only shrug his shoulders and then fall asleep.

He began to get a little tired of Jennifer getting busy, and he began to miss the days when he used to have fun every day.

"Girls should stay at home and teach their husbands and children!" Xiao thought fiercely, but he didn't tell Jennifer what he thought, because he knew that Jennifer had been waiting for this day for many years.

When Sinian can only be contacted by radio waves, Xiao Xiao begins to devote all his energy to active training.

He spent every day in the UCLA gym with Byron Davis, from morning to night, every day.

He never stops.

During this time, Xiao Sa never received any more invitations to tryouts. But he didn't have any panic in his heart.

Until draft day comes!
