"There's a local player like Brandon coming in. Maybe he can change the fate of the supersonics. ”

"Change the fate of hypersound?"

Yu Fei looked at Trem, wondering where to start.

"You know Howard Schultz [SuperSonics owner] has been trying to sell the team for the last few years, right?" Trem asked.

Yu Fei nodded, this news has always been there, but it doesn't rain when it thunders.

"Recently, Schultz and Oklahoma's investment group have been actively negotiating." "There are still a lot of details that haven't been agreed upon, but I feel like supersound is going to change hands soon," Trem said. ”

This is what Yu Fei already knows.

SuperSonics became the Thunder of the future.

Although he didn't know exactly what year the supersonic moved, he could use the elimination method to get it done.

Harden was a rookie in 2009, but he was a Thunder player as soon as he debuted.

Westbrook was a rookie in 2008, and Yu Fei has seen his career stats, and he has never played for the SuperSonics.

Therefore, the timeline of the supersonic relocation can basically be determined to be between 2007 and 2008.

"Will they move the team away?" Yu Fei asked knowingly.

"The only reason Schultz went for the SuperSonics was because he felt there was limited profit in running the team, and the investment group from Oklahoma, they really wanted to move the team to their hometown, and last year the Hornets lost their home game to Hurricane Katrina, and they were warmly welcomed at the Oklahoma game, where the league and businessmen saw the market," Trem said. ”

Yu Fei asked again: "Do you think Brandon can change this matter?" ”

"It's hard." "But at least there's hope that if he rises as quickly as you do, he might be able to make a decent profit for the supersonics, and maybe keep the superSonics in Seattle at that point." ”

Yu Fei didn't ask any further.

Because what he and Trem said is in the future, now, the SuperSonics are still in Seattle, Schultz is still the owner of the team, although he wants to sell the team, but there is no agreement, until he actually sells the team, the SuperSonics will not go anywhere.

Yu Fei returned to Seattle in a low-key manner, and after meeting Roy, both of them were a little emotional.

Six years ago, they chatted together at Roy's home, and now, Yu Fei is the most famous basketball player in the world, and Roy is about to realize his dream.

June 28th

Madison Square Garden

Yu Fei came to the Little Green House with his family as a member of Roy's family and friends, which caused a shock on the scene.

Few people knew about the relationship between Yu Fei and Roy, and they didn't expect him to directly become a member of Roy's family and friends group.

A few years ago, when James participated in the draft, Yu Fei only came to the scene to help, but did not sit next to James. Because they weren't intimate enough to that extent.

Many people have a different view of Roy as a result, including Michael Jordan, who was drafted remotely in Charlotte.

The Bobcats have the third pick in the first round this year, and Jordan has two options.

One is to choose Bird II Adam Morrison, and the other is to take the risk of selecting Roy, whom he actually likes, but is not worth it with the No. 3 pick.

Jordan loves Roy's maturity, tenacity, and well-roundedness.

But it would be a waste to pick Roy with the No. 3 pick.

Now, seeing Yu Fei appear in Roy's group of relatives and friends, a disgust driven purely by hatred makes Jordan quickly throw Roy into the trash.

"We don't need this hillbilly with health risks!" Jordan said, "We don't need him!" ”

Bernie Bickerstaff, the general manager and head coach of the Bobcats, asked, "So who do we pick?" ”

"Adam Morrison."

Hearing the name made Bickerstaff feel like his scalp tingling.

Not only because almost all Bird II since the 80s has died, but also because Jordan gave up Roy on the grounds that there was a "health hazard".

Yes, Roy has a health risk, but the risk represents a potential risk, and Morrison has an open risk — he has diabetes.

So is injury concern really the reason why Jordan gave up on Roy? Why can't he be frank and just say "I hate this stupid egg who calls Da Fei a brother"?

In fact, even if there is no Yu Fei, Jordan will still choose Morrison.

He believed in his first feeling, just as he believed that Yu Fei and Kwame Brown could succeed.

Although Brown did not meet expectations, with Yu Fei's existence far exceeding expectations, Jordan trusted his insight even more.

He believed in his first feelings.

When Jordan burst into tears after seeing Morrison finish his final college game by one goal, he fell in love with Morrison. He believes in the possibility of such a man who can shed tears for a game, which allows him to ignore all the negativity, the curse of Bird II? Diabetes? A soft protein guy who can be slammed at will while he plays? None of this is a problem.

Subsequently, the draft begins.

It's an open secret that the Raptors, who have the No. 1 pick, want Andrea Banjani.

Ironically, in the entire lottery, only the Raptors would pick Banjani if they got the top pick.

As a result, the Raptors tried to trade downwards but did not receive a satisfactory offer.

Just before the Raptors made their decision, Yu Fei suddenly received a call from the team.

He's on vacation right now and doesn't have his public phone with him, but the team has his personal phone.

Unless something urgent happens, they won't call.

"I'll answer the phone."

Yu Fei said to Roy.

"Charlotte might pick me." Roy said, "Don't miss it. ”

Yu Fei snorted lightly: "That bald donkey can't choose you." ”

"Anyway, hurry up."

Yu Fei waved his hand to the corridor and picked up the phone: "What's wrong?" ”

The caller was George Carr, who said, "Fry, we probably won't be able to pick Kyle Lowry. ”

Yu Fei frowned, no matter how high Lowry's draft pick is, it can't be higher than the twentieth pick, what does it mean that he can't be selected?

"Why?"

Carl said something that made Yu Fei almost unable to reply: "Because we may get the No. 2 pick." ”

"Wang Defa?"

"It's true, we're talking to Chicago." "This year's rookies are all inside, but Chicago doesn't need an interior because they've already made a verbal deal with Big Ben," Carr said excitedly.

What does the 2006 No. 2 visa mean?

LaMarcus Aldridge!

Is it really possible?

"At what cost?" Yu Fei asked.

"There are several options at the moment." "Danny and the 2007 Kings first-round pick (from the Ray Allen trade). Kevin and our two future first-round picks, plus the use of Trevor, Zaza, Penny and the 2007 Knicks first-round pick (from the Michael Reed trade). ”

"What?"

Yu Fei automatically ignored Granger and Martin's plan, which belonged to the real estate of the Bucks.

But the last option Pachulia + pennies + Ariza + 2007 Knicks first round?

"Can Trevor stay?"

Yu Fei asked directly.

"Nope." "Trevor was the centerpiece of this deal, the same foundation of the deal as the Knicks first-round pick was in 2007," Carr said. ”

Ariza is the best fit for Yu Fei of all the young guys on the Bucks.

Martin also has a good relationship with him, but Martin is usually too reserved, and Ariza is the kind of horse boy who is very caring.

Now, after two years, Ariza has gradually evolved from a rough guy to a defensive big lock on the wing, and her shooting is still developing, but she has already shown potential in 3D.

It's like a nurturing game that is about to succeed.

However, taking Aldridge would make the Bucks unassailable both inside and out.

"I see." Yu Fei whispered, "Let's make a decision that is beneficial to the future of the team." ”

Yu Fei pressed the phone, feeling frustrated that the team was about to lose Ariza, but Stern walked out.

He has just announced the candidate for the champion sign, and now, he has to announce the candidate for the top sign.

"Chicago Bulls Pick for 2006 NBA Draft, LaMarcus Aldridge.!!"

The garden scene erupted in shrill boos, not because New Yorkers hate Aldridge.

It's because Aldridge should have been drafted by the Knicks.

The Bulls are using Knicks draft picks.

But this year, the Knicks' record was not ideal, and they also sent the Bulls a pick.

Speaking of which, the 2007 first-round pick that the Bulls asked the Bucks for was also from the Knicks, and it is likely to turn into a lottery pick.

So, in the final analysis, it's all about the Knicks, and it's the Knicks' operation that gives the Bucks a chance to change shotguns.

Aldridge walked up to the stage and hugged Stern, who had no idea what his fate would be.

Yu Fei is back.

Roy asked, "Is everything alright?" ”

Yu Fei smiled and said, "It's all good, it's your turn next, right?" ”

"Possibly." Roy said, "Michael likes me. ”

Then, the Bobcats drafted Adam Morrison.

After that, as the draft simulations on major websites predicted, Roy was not selected by the top four teams, but was selected with the fifth overall pick by his hometown team, the Seattle SuperSonics.

Roy took the stage in an ugly suit and a snuggly yellow tie, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and after hugging Stern, he was interviewed by Greg Sager.

"Brandon, what does it mean to you to be chosen by your hometown?"

Roy is not Yu Fei, nor James, nor is he one of those people who talk about it, a few years ago, he was unpopular, but now he has become a lottery show in his hometown, which is like a fairy tale, it is incredible.

This No. 5 show, who loves his hometown and has a humble personality, sincerely faced the camera and said: "Everything. ”

This is what a person with a family can say, and this is what a person who is proud of his hometown can say. Roy has only one root in this world, and that is Seattle, and now that he has a closer connection to his roots, he wants to give it his all because it's one in a million lucky places.

That's everything.
