Behind the stage on the first floor, there were three people sitting around a table at this time.

One wears glasses, gray hair, kind eyebrows, and looks to be in his sixties;

One person is a Buddha mask, simple and cute, and an Asian face;

The last man also wears glasses, but the top of his head is bald, his face is duck-shaped, and his eyes are bare.

These three are the current NBA commissioner David Stern, vice president Mark Tatum, and assistant to the president Adam Shaw.

"Xu Yong's draft market this year is very good." Stern holds a tablet with the latest draft predictions in his hand, and Seo has climbed up to fourth in the pick.

If there is one person who cares most about the Chinese market, it is only him, the old man who waited for hours at the door of CCTV with a videotape.

Yao Ming is full of injuries, Yi Jianlian is embarrassed, and he is also the one who most hopes that China will have another basketball star.

Xu Yong is undoubtedly the most promising person, and Xu Yong is played in the NCAA, if he succeeds in the end, it will be no less significant than Yao Ming.

So he is also the player who most hopes that Xu Yong can be selected in the high pick.

"Yes, and he's an outside player, which would be the perfect answer to expand the Chinese market." Tatum echoed with a smile.

If Stern is the mastermind of the overseas strategy, then Tatum is the most loyal executor.

Although he is not very good at alliance management, he is the most professional in overseas market development.

"David, I think you care too much about the overseas market, even if you redevelop it, what can you do? We should still focus more on the local market, and you should pay more attention to Blake Griffin this year, who will be the detonator of the market. Xiao Hua sang the opposite tune at this time.

Stern didn't retort, just smiled and waved his hand.

Xiao Hua's market operation ability is better than his blue, but his vision is too angry.

The American market is so big that they have to compete with football, football, baseball, ice hockey, and so on.

The person who grabs the cake will never get more than the person who makes the cake.

This should not be a multiple-choice question, but rather a multiple-choice question.

At this moment, the tablet in his hand was updated, and Xu Yong's draft order slipped from fourth to one place.

……

The Kings' draft hut.

Petrie had just hung up the phone, and his face was very ugly.

Just now, the spokesperson for the Ma'auff brothers, the owner of the team, called him and said that the owner had appointed Tyrek Evans.

A sense of frustration came over the manager who had been with the Kings for 15 years and was twice voted the best general manager in the NBA.

He remembered the draft promise he gave Xu Yong, but he was just a part-time worker after all.

Thinking of this, he handed over the results to his assistant and got up and left the hut.

Evans is good, but his skills are fixed, and he may have a good rookie season, but the upside is limited.

If the Kings are aiming to get back to the playoffs, that's a good answer, but if you take a longer view, Seo is a better choice.

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Just as he passed by the Suns draft cabin, angry voices came from inside.

He made a closer look, and it seemed to be Steve Cole's voice.

He wasn't too curious.

If you were to pick a place where the most accidents happen, the NBA Draft would undoubtedly be one of the candidates.

What draft promises, trade promises, until the moment of the final decision, everything is just a fog.

At this time, Cole was really shocked.

Because just now, Wizards general manager Ernie Glenfield called him, and their previously agreed deal was canceled.

Because they got an offer that they [hard to refuse], and he didn't think the Suns could make an offer at the same level.

After some communication to no avail, Kerr reluctantly dialed the Timberwolves again.

The only top-four picks that have appeared on the trade market this year are the picks, but the Grizzlies' asking price is so high that basically no one trades them.

So if the Wizards' No. 5 pick can't be traded, they can only make a fuss about the Timberwolves' No. 6 pick.

Petrie continued on his way, passing by the Thunder's draft hut again.

Unlike all the excitement along the way, the Thunder's draft cabin is exceptionally quiet.

He couldn't help but stop at the doordoor for a moment.

Speaking of the players selected by the Thunder in the past two seasons, Durant, Westbrook, and Jeff Green have all shown full potential.

As a peer, he couldn't help but envy Sam Plesty.

The Spurs-born general manager is only in his early thirties and only joined the Thunder in 2007, but he has already built a promising team for the team with his top-notch vision.

He wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder could rise one day in the future, and the young general manager would be the real MVP.

Of course, he envied not only Presty's vision, but also the rights that Presty had.

When the team owner likes to interfere in the affairs of the team, no matter how good the manager is, it is useless.

Petri continued to walk forward, and the outermost room assigned to belonged to the Knicks.

They were given the most convenient position to play at home.

Among the two New Yorkers who liked this year was Xu Yong's name.

Originally, they definitely had no chance of picking off the Xu Yong Knicks, but judging from the current situation, the New Yorkers may become the final winner?

He continued to walk forward, and was already out of the passage on the second floor.

At this time, the stadium was already full.

In the center of the court, in a makeshift green room, sixteen rookies are already looking forward to it.

His gaze quickly locked on Xu Yong.

At this time, he felt as if he had fallen in love with a girl, and the girl had agreed to him, but because of the obstruction of her parents, the girl could only marry someone else in the end.

Although the girl could no longer belong to him, he was also curious about who would end up with it.

At this moment, the lights dimmed, the background music sounded, and on the front stage, the collection of highlights of this year's rookies began to play.

Xu Yong is second only to Griffin in terms of length in it, and the NBA's idea of expanding the Chinese market is obvious.

At this time, he had to sigh, what a good opportunity, just lose arms with him!

But at the same time, a bold idea came out of his heart.

Thinking of this, he turned around and quickly walked towards his draft hut.

Just after Petrie left, the lights hit the stage.

In the midst of the familiar boos, the old man who was most familiar to all the fans smiled, greeted the spotlight, and walked to the center of the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NBA2009 Draft......
