Chapter 10 The draft is approaching
In early June 2011, the NBA officially announced the physical test report of this year's draft players, among which Kyrie Irving and Winnie the Pooh are the most eye-catching focus, and Derrick Williams, who has been competing with Irving for the top pick, also makes people full of expectations, although the quality of this year's draft is not as good as in the past, but it is still very good in the lottery area, and the four point guards of Winnie the Pooh, Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, and Blanton Knight are enough to make the major teams struggle fiercely. However, in the NBA, where big men are becoming increasingly scarce, Derrick Williams has naturally become a sweetheart, which makes people feel helpless!
According to the report of the Orlando Physical Testing Center, Winnie the Pooh's data is undoubtedly the most amazing, as a Chinese, there are many criticisms, and as the draft time approaches, this situation is getting more and more serious, but when the official news appeared today, everyone kept their mouths shut!
Winnie the Pooh (Luo): 6 feet 2 inches tall (actual height 1.88 meters, but because of age, it is only a matter of time before Luo Yun grows to more than 6 feet 3 inches), arm span 6.60 feet, 2.46 meters high on the spot, 0.913 meters bounce on the spot, maximum bounce 1.056 meters, 80 kg bench press 10 times, 11.03 seconds round-trip run in the penalty area, 3/4 sprints 3.13 seconds. It is undoubtedly amazing that such data appears in a Chinese player, and those teams who covet the little guy are also more sure of what they think.
"Alright, Ugiri, we're sure. Kick Faried into the second battle jihua. The first combat target is Winnie the Pooh. This kid is really a big surprise for us! The Nuggets boss Stan Colanji finally appeared in the management conference room, sitting next to him was his son Josh Colanki, both father and son were as excited as chicken blood, and George Karl also suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, in fact, he didn't have much hope at first, he didn't expect that the big boss actually coincided with his own ideas and recognized the little guy, which was obviously beyond the expectations of too many people.
"Boss. Is it really necessary to trade Ty Lawson? It was another planner in management who had always decided that Ty Lawson was the most suitable No. 1 player for the Nuggets, and while Winnie the Pooh was good, the practice of exchanging a point guard for another point guard was obviously a bit too bizarre, even though he was really good.
And the vast majority of people in the room thought so, only Josh Colonji sat on the side and sneered, this group of people is really stupid, can't they see the meaning behind this proposal, it seems that it really should be replaced by another group of people.
"Mr. Leslie, I think Winnie the Pooh is a better fit for Denver than Ty Lawson, who has 4 years of NCAA experience. And he has always been the absolute leader of the team from elementary school to university, such a talented player we can't miss. And Denver's ball market is terrible right now, and we need an iconic player to pull attendance! Josh Kronki has already prepared a statement, and what he said is true, do the Nuggets give less gifts each year to sell tickets? You don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, you know, you are just a group of part-time workers, and fighting for the interests of the boss is the first thing, not playing some bullshit manager game.
George Carr had already laughed in his heart when he saw the little boss talking so fiercely, but the big boss probably thought more than he did; First of all, Winnie the Pooh's strength is definitely above Ty Lawson, second, he is more suitable for the Nuggets' system than Lawson, Karl, the head coach, has the absolute right to speak, and the third point is that the Chinese market behind Winnie the Pooh is a huge chocolate cake, everyone wants to get involved, and Zuihou is a little? That is naturally another value brought by Luo Yun, that is, to be good friends with the Luo family, the NBA is a pure business league, and their boss Stan Colonji is a profit-only businessman, connections are always what he values the most, coupled with the super influence of the Luo family among Chinese Americans, Stan Colonji has no reason not to agree with this proposal.
"If that's the case, what number do you think it's appropriate for us to change?" Ujiri looked at the little boss with some apprehension, this is the big boss paving the way for his son, they must be careful.
"It's your problem, no matter what, we have to do our best to get Winnie the Pooh, and we can even give up that big black guy if we can!" Josh Kranji smiled, this feeling of giving orders to his subordinates was really cool, but just as he was secretly YY, the real boss Stan Kranji spoke, telling the group to act quickly, hurry up and not delay, and the little boss Yoshin Kranji also woke up from YY, quickly gave up his position and retreated behind.
At this time, Luo Yun also announced the news about his agent on the Internet, so that he can sit back and wait for the draft to come, and leave the rest to Tang Ya, this woman is now talking to Nike about related matters, as for Reebok, and Tang Ya have completely collapsed.
In fact, at first, Luo Yun was still more inclined to Reebok, after all, they were the first company to provide them with sneaker sponsorship during college, although their offer was much lower than Nike, but Luo Yun didn't say much, because the little guy was originally a nostalgic person, but at Tang Ya's insistence, they still chose Nike!
When Tang Ya negotiated with Reebok, they proposed a 5-year contract, if Luo Yun can enter the All-Star team within three years (whether it is a starter or a substitute), this contract can be extended to 8 years, in the face of such a sincere invitation Tang Ya was obviously moved, but Nike also increased the weight for the first time after learning the news, Tang Ya still chose Nike in line with the principle of serving the boss, which also made Reebok very disappointed.
However, the outcome of Zuihou's negotiations will have to wait after the draft, after all, the most basic one in the contract is that Luo Yun's draft pick must be in the top ten in the first round, otherwise the contract will be drastically reduced.
Luo Yun looked at the agent who was gradually entering the state, and began to sigh in his heart that the NBA's mistakes were complicated, but he had already handed over these things to Tang Ya, and the girl was really thinking about him, so the little guy didn't say anything!
"Little one, haven't you slept yet?" Jessica looked at Luo Yun in the video, she has also been paying attention to the major developments of the NBA for a long time, although she doesn't understand it very well, but she also understands that this period of time will determine Luo Yun's future basketball career, so try to find out more time, I want to know more about Luo Yun's state during this time.
The boy nodded, he had just returned from practice and had not yet had time to shower.
"Is that NBA going to shut down?" Jessica then asked, the girl had just finished the announcement, and she didn't even have the makeup off her face, and she looked like an elf who had fallen into the mortal world, and she was amazing.
"I don't know!" Luo Yun looked at Jessica with some surprise, obviously, he didn't expect that the girl would actually know about the NBA shutdown!
"What, do you want something to happen in the NBA? In that case, I won't have a ball! Luo Yun said half-jokingly, now the league and the players' union are still in a stalemate, and they don't give in to each other, but this kind of thing has always lasted for a long time, so everything is unknown now!
Jessica glanced at her mouth, and looked at Luo Yun with some resentment, in fact, she wanted Luo Yun to come to South Korea in the summer, some time ago he said that it was impossible to come over for the draft, but now it is a great opportunity, as for practice, where is it not practice!
"I'm too lazy to care about you, I'm just asking!" The girl bit her lip, she was not used to talking to Luo Yun like this, she felt not as close as when she left the United States, and she was a little distant.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep, you can go and get busy!" Luo Yun's life has always been very regular, and he rarely stays up late, which is different from most young Americans, and it is also a habit developed since childhood!
"Oh! Well, you rest early! After Jessica finished speaking, she was angry and directly deducted the notebook, this bastard, there is a beauty again!
On June 22, 2011, a bombshell news also appeared in countless trade news, the Denver Nuggets proposed to the Utah Jazz to trade, with starting point guard Ty Lawson plus the following year's second-round draft pick in exchange for the Jazz's No. 3 pick, Denver's move was also ridiculed by basketball commentators, stupid bird, what the hell is he doing!
The Denver side responded that they needed a good big man, and Derrick Williams was their target, but many people began to question them, are you playing as a Timberwolves? You must know that Derrick is the top pick tied with Irving, even if the Cavaliers don't want Derrick, but the Timberwolves are by no means stupid, and this proposal was unconditionally rejected by the Jazz, just kidding, we are without Delon, but we will never use the No. 3 pick to exchange for a Ty-Lawson and the second-round pick the following year, which is really outrageous.
However, the Nuggets are not discouraged, they are discussing how to impress the Jazz while earning benefits for themselves, as for Weishenme, they will target the No. 3 pick, because this is the best chip the Nuggets can come up with at the moment, the top pick and the list don't need to think about it at all, the Cavaliers and Timberwolves are not stupid, and the Nuggets can't offer such conditions.
At this time, the trade rumors of the major teams in the NBA are frequently bombarding the eardrums of fans, and all kinds of bizarre remarks have appeared on the Internet, the eve of the NBA draft has plunged the whole United States into a shijie of lies and deception, none of these teams are honest, the Bobcats have not moved until now, and the same is true of the Lakers that Luo Yun yearns for the most, the Jazz did not pay attention to Denver's vexatious trouble, but were looking for all kinds of excellent big men, and they recently fell in love with the stupid big man in Turkey!
