Chatford took the lead in making this assurance, because he was really optimistic about Xiao, and this optimism was not because of sympathy, but because of Xiaoxiao's seriousness, and his attitude.

The same is probably true for other journalists, but of course there is some emotion mixed in with it.

At the end of his visit, Chatford offered his personal encouragement to Shaw, and other journalists said cheers to Shaw.

Obviously, this Oriental boy has won their trust and affection.

After all, not every player is as communicative as he is, and there are too many individual players in this league. The unhappiness of these players with personality is substantial, and now there is a communicative guy who can make their work enjoyable, and they are emotionally and intellectually willing to help in any way they can.

And these help within their power is just a gesture for them, but for Xiao Dash, it is substantial, a little more layout, a little more exposure, is too important for the rookies who are running for the draft, because it will directly affect the draft market.

When the reporters dispersed and Xiao was about to take a shower, three tall men in suits walked over, and as soon as they came over, they introduced themselves with smiles on their faces: "Hello, Xiao, it's good to see you again, I'm Jackson, the head of the Thunder's scouting department, this is our deputy general manager Eisenhower, and this is Sallinger, our human resources manager. ”

"Oh, hello, it's nice to see you again, Jackson. It's also a pleasure to meet you, my new friend......" greeted them in a chic and friendly manner.

"Xiao, I have to say that you have once again convinced us. Just now we had a phone call with Presti Tong Guò and we have decided to cancel the trial for you. Jackson explained his intentions to Xiao Shi very directly.

Xiao Lai heard this, and was a little stunned: Cancel? Am I not good enough?

He was unexpected, and Eisenhower, the deputy general manager on the side, had already stretched out his right hand and said very enthusiastically: "Mr. Xiao, you are very welcome to join Oklahoma City, our city will be full of talent because of your arrival!" ”

Well?

Xiao Shi frowned, he was even more surprised, this turn seemed to be beyond his imagination, he didn't know what the Thunder team intended to express.

The three of them were still stunned when they saw Xiao Shao, and the personnel department manager on the side, Salinjie, couldn't hold it back, and directly opened up their mystery: "Xiao, we have already decided, we have decided to sign you with our 24th pick in the first round." That's our commitment. ”

What the?

Xiao Sa's originally confused mind instantly sounded a thunderclap, and a huge surprise bloomed in his heart.

For a while, he didn't know what was good, he actually got the promise, he actually got the draft promise. That means I'm a quasi-NBA player from now on, that is, I'm a quasi-multimillionaire? Did happiness come too suddenly?

Pleasantly surprised and not knowing what to say, Eisenhower took the initiative to shake Chick's hand: "We need your talent, and at the same time, we need your leadership skills. Kevin is a reserved core player who needs your help and you're going to be the new leader of our dressing room! ”

Obviously, the Thunder's leadership skills are most important, and they are shocked and surprised by how they unite all their teammates in a split second. As a young team, the Thunder really need a young and leadership player to control the locker room, and now, Xiao has appeared, and of course they have to hold on tightly.

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Xiao Sa finally came back to his senses and replied with some excitement.

"Wait for draft day, kid, we've got you covered with a hat embroidered with the Thunder logo." Jackson patted Xiao Shao's shoulder, he was very optimistic about Xiao Shao.

"Thank you." Xiao Wan said thank you again.

"Don't bother you, we don't want to be noticed by other teams because we're too close to you, if they steal you early, we'll lose too much." Eisenhower patted the back of his hand and offered to say goodbye: "See you on draft day!" Bye! ”

"Goodbye!" Xiao waved his hand, and at this time, his smile could no longer be contained.

He really felt that happiness had come too suddenly.

Looking back, he was satisfied that he was just trying to earn $5,000 a month through basketball. Later, he wanted to play in the NBDL, and then he started dreaming about the NBA, thinking that it would be great if he could be drafted by the NBA. Later, he began to look forward to being selected in the first round...... Now, he's been guaranteed a first-round legislation. This guarantee made him a multimillionaire on the verge of becoming a multi-millionaire, and he looked back on how dreamy the journey had been in the past three months.

At this time, a melody suddenly came to mind in his heart, and then he hummed softly: The outside world is wonderful......

He didn't hum the second half of the sentence, because he didn't feel helpless yet. He only knew that if he still stayed in that small mountain village, he would never have dreamed that he would become a multimillionaire in three months, which was too unrealistic, but it had become a reality.

Just as Xiao Sa was humming about the outside world and preparing to take a shower, two men in suits and leather shoes came over, and as soon as they came over, they took out their business cards to Xiao Sa and introduced themselves: "Hello, Mr. Xiao Sa." I'm Neil Olshea, the Clippers' deputy general manager, and this is our lead scout, Jim Conan. ”

"Hello, nice to meet you, friends of the Clippers." Xiao said with a smile.

"We've heard about you trying out with the Lakers, and we're on the same page in some way, and the Lakers are our mortal enemies." Neil Orsie said with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems that the Lakers are very unpopular." Xiao Xiao laughed.

"Obviously, it's like this, no one on the Clippers likes them." Orche was very smart, so he was quick to use this common denominator to express his thoughts: "So, we wholeheartedly welcome you to our team. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shi frowned, he was a little strange, thinking to himself what was wrong? Why is there another team that invited me to join? Did I have any good luck today?

Seeing Xiao Sage's frown, Olchea simply didn't hide his thoughts: "We have a second-round pick this year, and I think if there are no surprises, that pick will make you wear the Clippers' cap!" ”

When Xiao Shi heard this, he smiled and nodded, and then said apologetically, "Maybe... It's not a very solid alignment. I'm a little frivolous when I say that, but... Oklahoma City has just welcomed me, saying they have a first-round pick. ”

Speaking of this, Olsie's expression was already a little exciting. He didn't expect the Thunder to take the lead, in his opinion, Xiao Sa, a guy who was unknown before, even if he had a lot of shining points just now, but this is just an ordinary confrontation after all, and it is very risky to be selected into the NBA with a second-round pick, how can he be willing to take the first-round pick to gamble?

Olchet was very incomprehensible.

However, Xiao Xiao didn't plan to say too much to him: "Although we have the same mortal enemy, I can't refuse the sincerity of the Thunder team." Let's be friends first, after all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend! ”

Xiao Sa smiled and stretched out his right hand, Neil Orsie looked a little embarrassed, but still shook hands with Shy.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't expect that something he thought was a certainty would have such an accident, and the Thunder team would actually take out a first-round pick to bet? Are they crazy?

"Goodbye, friend!" Xiao politely waved to him, and then walked to the locker room.

With a dashing departure, Neil Orsie could no longer control his demeanor, and he waved his hand fiercely and complained to Jim Conan next to him, "Is Thunder crazy? Actually took a first-round signing bet? Idiot! It's just idiots!! ”

"Neil, actually... I think he really deserves a first-round pick as far as this game stands. He's very smart, he's a good leader, and he's got a lot of breaking through and finishing offense. Jim Conan said very honestly.

"But, after all, he's a basketball rookie. He probably doesn't even understand the tactics, he's only been learning basketball for a few months. ”

"It's because he's only been playing basketball for three months that he's worthy of a first-round pick, which shows how much potential he has in his game. Also, on the tactical side, I think the way he commanded the offense and defense on the pitch today has proven that he is okay, and he can even be said to be a complete academy player! Jim Conan made his point accurate.

Olchea is not a scouting professional, but as a manager he respects the opinions of scouts.

Now that Neil Conan is saying everything, he is also a little moved in his heart. He frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked a little confused, "You mean that we should also follow up with a first-round pick?" ”

"Yes. And even for Byron Davis, we should do it. "Jim Conan gave a very positive endorsement.

"However, we only have the 10th pick left in the first round."

"I don't think we can pick a pure point guard at the No. 10 pick, most of the point guards in this class are two-way guards who are mainly scoring breakaways, so why not just pick a shooting guard? We already have Byron Davis! ”

"Hmm......" Neil Orsie frowned and nodded subconsciously, apparently Neil Conan had already convinced him partially.

Olsher was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, let's go back to Los Angeles first, and make a decision after consulting with Mr. Dunleavy, we must respect his opinion." ”

"Good!" Jim Conan nodded obediently, but at this time he was muttering in his heart: Hey, Lenny Kuhn, you bastard, I can only help here. If your godson hadn't been picked by the Clippers this time, then don't blame me, I did my best!!
