Chapter 90 It's Not That You Are Not Good Enough

Some people say that the rookie class of 96 is the class with the most handsome men.

And Kobe is undoubtedly one of the best.

After being selected by the Hornets and being interviewed by the media, Kobe took the initiative to ask the top management of the Hornets, do you really want me to play in Charlotte?

At this time, the Hornets gave a negative attitude.

"It's not that you are not good enough, it's that we lack insiders now."

Kobe thought to himself, then why did you choose me?

He couldn't do the operations of these teams in the league, and after waiting for a few minutes, agent Tellem found him out of breath.

"It's done."

"It's done? What's done?" Kobe looked puzzled.

Tellem smiled mysteriously: "Of course the deal is done."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a little restlessness in the draft scene, and after the official announcement, the TV hosts who broadcast it were all exclaimed.

"Interrupt an important transaction message."

"This year's No.13 pick, the Charlotte Hornets, sent away their selected high school guard Kobe Bryant, and traded from the Los Angeles Lakers for starting center Vlade Divac!"

To some extent, this transaction is more important than the previous exchange of the fourth and fifth positions, because it involves active players and is the starting center of the active playoff team.

At that time, Divac was at the peak of his 27-year-old player career. In the first three seasons of 96, he averaged [-] points, [-] rebounds and two blocked shots per game, and his attendance rate was particularly high. He missed a total of eight games in three years.

Are the Lakers crazy?Is West crazy?

The scene immediately exploded, and then the Lakers fans didn't understand, this is the team's starting center!

No matter how good Kobe's potential is, he still has to grow. Who knows what it will look like?Maybe an injury will ruin some talents, but Divac is stable after all.

And the team has no starting center, how will they play next season?

Immediately, various commentators and experts came out, thinking that the Lakers were acting stupid, calling West undercover, very irrational.

The Clippers team in the same city shook their red wine glasses and laughed knowingly: "I have already said that it is unreliable to choose a 17-year-old boy. This will make the team a laughing stock. Look at our operation. We played steadily and steadily. We chose a 21-year-old Wright and a seven-foot center. Isn't that bad?"

Kobe doesn't know the outside voice yet. He himself is very happy and very satisfied with the result.

"Great Tellem, I can play in Los Angeles!"

On the other side, Qin Fei has just started being interviewed by the media.

Then he also got the news that Kobe was traded.

Several media reporters who interviewed him were stunned. They turned their heads to look at Qin Fei, and found that the other party's face was calm.

One of the reporters rolled his eyes and handed the microphone to Qin Fei: "Qin Fei, because we all know that you have a very good relationship with Kobe, what do you think about Kobe being traded to the Lakers?"

The colleague gave him a blank look, wondering why you asked the rookie this question, and then silently handed over the microphone.

Qin Fei wondered why Lao Tzu had such a good relationship with Kobe?

Well, although they don't have the same friendship as Iverson, but they are the same agent after all, so it's not bad.

Facing this question, he frowned, and said without haste: "NBA is a place where any possibility will be born. I think both teams should have made a deliberate decision. There is no right or wrong in the adult world. I hope everyone can live as they like."

reporter:

"Then what do you want yourself to live like?" Another reporter immediately asked.

Qin Fei was silent for a while.

"I hope that one day I can be a happy person, feeding horses and chopping firewood, traveling around the world; having a house facing the sea, and spring flowers blooming"

Fuck, is the literary quality so high?

The two reporters were stunned for a moment, the stadium poet?

After Qin Fei got the media, Tellem took him to the uniform team of the New York Knicks.

At this time, the draft on the field is still going on.

Qin Fei actually knew many rookies in the back, such as McCarty, Deng Tai Jones, Travis Knight, etc., including his own teammates, Jerome was also selected.

He was selected by the Pistons with the No.20 sixth overall pick in the first round.

The old man was very disappointed. If Qin Fei fell to the 26th pick, they would definitely choose him. Now there is no way to choose Qin Fei, so they have to choose Qin Fei's teammate Jerome.

This trash dog is also good, and it matches the temperament of the Pistons very well.

"Ask New York if they are willing to trade Qin Fei."

The Pistons took the initiative to call New York to discuss the possibility of a trade.

They originally thought that New York, like them, admired Qin Fei very much, but they didn't expect that when they got through the phone, the response they got was actually open.

That being the case, what good is there for McCloskey to speak out his thoughts directly and make a trade request.

In the box of the New York uniform team, Qin Fei met Ed Tapscott, the current general manager of New York, and his assistants.

Qin Fei is the New York Knicks' first shot in this draft.

Logically, he was the first choice of the Knicks, so he thought that when he saw the management, he must be polite. He didn't expect that after entering the door, the old men in the uniform team ignored him, and they were discussing something over there.

The current head coach of the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy, was the first to speak to Qin Fei.

"Qin, I watched your game in college. You are a very tough player. I like you very much." Van Gundy expressed his kindness and eased Qin Fei's embarrassment.

Qin Fei himself doesn't care, but he sees the Knicks uniforms as if they don't care, and he guesses that the Knicks are determined to trade him.

"Trial training that day" Qin Fei remembered that the trial training with the Knicks was quite successful!

"Yes, I was not in the trial that day, but my assistant coach told me that you are the best player in the training camp. We want to choose you, and we should choose you." Van Gundy smiled. The Mediterranean hairstyle gave Qin Fei a kind feeling.

"Okay." Qin Fei spread his hands.

Since the team had no fate with himself, Qin Fei had nothing to say, and looked up and saw Ed Tapscott in the middle position.

The general manager's expression was very cold.

"It's not that you're not good enough, but because the team did have other ideas for development during the summer." After listening to Van Gundy's last words, Qin Fei was silent for a while, turned his head and left the ambitious box of the New York uniform team without saying anything.

In his heart, he scoffed at the so-called operation of the New York uniform team.

For example, as early as the middle of the previous season, the elder Nelson was sprayed when he said that he would trade Ewing for O'Neal whose contract expired.And because he offended Ewing, the old Nelson didn't even keep his position as the head coach, and the coach changed in the middle of the game, and Jeff Van Gundy took over at this time.

Then in the summer, the Knicks were tricked by Jordan's team again. They offered a sky-high contract of 3000 million yuan, thinking that they could recruit Jordan and form a dream combination of Jordan + Ewing.

If you think about it carefully, you will know how it is possible for Jordan to leave Chicago, which won the championship with 72 wins and 10 losses last year. The Knicks were just used to force the capitalists to bleed.

So these operations are simply inhumane, and it seems that the busiest people in the summer trading market actually get nothing done.

After the routine process was over, Qin Fei met Kobe, Iverson and others in the waiting area.

At this time, Iverson already knew that Kobe was going to Los Angeles. He and Kobe were not very familiar before, but he knew that Kobe and Qin Fei were the same agent, and had the same only relationship with Qin Fei, and he was going to Philadelphia, where Kobe grew up. Due to multiple factors, Kobe and Kobe were the most able to chat among the rookies.

Ray Allen was talking with Nash together.

Marbury and Walker, who have their own big brother attributes, are surrounded by a group of fans, and the rookies chat with each other in small groups.

"In fact, Los Angeles is really good, with a suitable climate, a developed economy, and never lacks market attention." When Qin Fei came, Iverson and Kobe were discussing the cities they were about to go to. For them, these cities were strange and novel, and they were about to open a new chapter.

Seeing Qin Fei, the two stopped discussing, and then Kobe told Qin Fei excitedly: "Qin, I'm going to play in Los Angeles, and the Lakers traded me there."

"Ha, that's really nice."

Qin Fei sincerely congratulated, this is the starting point of Kobe's glory, full of legend as always.

"Actually, you're not bad either. The New York Knicks are a strong team, and New York is a big city, and it's your hometown." Iverson pointed to himself, then to Qin Fei and Kobe, unexpectedly all three of them went to big cities.

Qin Fei was about to say something.

Suddenly, a rookie exclaimed: "There is another deal!"

Hearing the trade, all the rookies moved after hearing the news and pricked up their ears, because they understood from the moment they were selected by the league that everyone is a commodity and can be traded, but what the team trades is a commodity, and for them, every related transaction means life.

Knowing the transaction dynamics, Kobe and Iverson exclaimed, and they turned their heads to look at Qin Fei.

In addition, Ray Allen and Marbury, whom Qin Fei is familiar with, and Walker, who has played against him, all surrounded him. Before the makeup photos of the rookies and the president were taken, is Qin Fei going to change clothes again?

Qin Fei himself was very calm and pushed everyone away.

From the mouth of the official NBA staff at this time, I learned about the transaction information.

It is indeed about myself.

After the No.18 New York Knicks selected him, a deal occurred directly with the Seattle SuperSonics.

In this deal, Qin Fei was sent to the Seattle Supersonics by the Knicks, and the Knicks got a peak insider Irvin Johnson from the Seattle Supersonics.

In 93, Irvin Johnson, who entered the league as the No. [-] player, actually just finished his third season. His rookie contract expired. In the finals, the head coach adopted the forward wolf pack tactics. He didn't get too many opportunities to show off, so he had the idea of ​​leaving his home team.

From the perspective of the outside world, the Knicks acquired a seven-footer with sufficient energy through a trade. He can form a double-tower tactic in advance, and he can also be a very good immediate combat power in retreat. He has made a lot of money.

In the third season, in 18.8 minutes of playing time, Irvin Johnson, who can contribute 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.6 blocks, still has room for improvement. Compared with Qin Fei, who has never proved himself, he is obviously more reliable and stable.

Exchange the team's immediate combat power for an underage child?

Why is this operation so familiar?

Fans at the draft scene exclaimed, this year's draft conference, a wave of ups and downs, the team bosses really know how to play
