Chapter 294 Team Rocket Disaster Day

In the draft venue, because Gasol was selected by the Eagles with the third overall pick, there was a bit of noise, and it was difficult for everyone to understand Bill Knight's intentions!

Amidst the hustle and bustle, even if the fans and the media are unbelievable about this result, the draft still has to go on!
The Bulls with the fourth overall pick got a higher overall pick again after another bad performance.

Later, after Stern re-entered the venue, the fans became more and more looking forward to this year's draft players!

"This is really an authentic American blockbuster!" Mullin looked at Stern who was about to announce the answer on TV with emotion, and couldn't help expressing such emotion when thinking of the previous choices of the teams.

"It's nothing. According to the current development of the league, I think there will be more and better international players appearing here in the future!" Bruce said with great certainty.

Stern quietly waited for the fans in the venue to be quiet, and then he slowly turned over the cards. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he said word by word: "The Bulls chose."

"Damn it, can't you be more straightforward??"

"We didn't come here to see your old face!!"

Some irritated voices shouted, even after hearing these words, Stern still maintained his so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and said with a smile: "Thornwood High School, Eddie Ku with a height of 2 meters inside!!!"

"Wow!!"

There are as many as three high school students in the top four picks. This is simply the most shocking thing in the history of the NBA!
The sensation they caused immediately threw the previous discussion about Gasol to Java, and now they are most concerned about the topic of these "Heaven's Proud Sons"!

"God, I have never participated in such a shocking draft, never!" A reporter who has covered the NBA draft for nearly 10 years couldn't help exclaiming.

Bruce calmly watched the uproar caused by these people on TV. Even though he was very clear about the future of these players, he still felt the unbelievable "boldness" of the Americans.

A player who has not participated in the influence of the college league, even if he has unparalleled talent, once he falls into confusion and laziness, it will quickly make them disappear in this place with a very high elimination rate!

"This is crazy!!" Mullin stared dumbfounded at Curry who was shaking hands with Stern excitedly on the TV, feeling indescribably shocked.

Before the draft, none of the team executives regarded these guys as top three, or even top five picks.

It's all just that after Jordan chose Kwame Brown, the rest of the teams were a little hesitant at first, but then they made their own choices firmly!

The appearance of several high school students blew up the arena all of a sudden, and even the Grizzlies, which chose Jason Richardson in a low-key way, didn't get more attention!
Sean Battier looked indifferently at Richardson who shook hands with Stern excitedly. Even before the draft, he was regarded as the top three favorites of this year, but since Jordan chose Kwame Brown, he has been My draft pick is not as important as I thought it was before!

Bruce couldn't help shaking his head as he watched the TV constantly transfer the images to various media and fans!
"Bruce, which of these little guys do you think has the most exciting talent?" Mullin gradually calmed down and asked curiously. He admired Bruce's vision very much.

When he came back to his senses, Bruce turned his head and glanced at Wilkens, who was still a bit dull, and then said very seriously: "The most talented person is Eddie Curry. If he can work as hard as ever, he will be the successor. After Shaquille, another monster inside, just a pity."

"Eddie?" Wilkens murmured thoughtfully!

After the previous physical test and performance evaluation on the court, Wilkens paid special attention to these little guys.

Even though they all seemed a bit rough, their talents and age really moved him.

But now, after listening to Bruce's words, it is inevitable that there will be some rebuttals in his heart, and thinking of his super sense of smell in the draft, this makes him entangled again!
"Why do you say that?"

Bruce turned his head to look at the TV with some regrets. Thinking of the troubles in his previous life, he said with emotion: "If he can control his weight to a certain weight, then he will definitely show strong dominance. However, even if he decides to participate in the draft , but according to some reports, not only did his weight not drop, but it increased little by little, you know what kind of burden the huge weight will bring to the legs!!"

"Uh." Hearing Bruce's analysis, Mullin subconsciously looked at Eddie Curry, who was wearing a Bulls baseball cap and grinning on the TV, and couldn't help but think of the consequences of the opponent being as heavy as O'Neal!

"That's right!!" Wilkens on the other side let out a heavy breath: "If this little guy slackens in some things, then he will definitely be like Bruce said, and gradually disappear in the league !"

Wilkens, who has been in the league for decades, came to the final conclusion after simply thinking about Bruce's analysis!

I have seen guys called geniuses countless times, and Wilkens is very persistent in diligence!

If a player is overly privileged by the media and the team, unless he works hard as always, he will gradually lose his talent due to slack and some off-court factors.

While everyone was discussing the first few players, the Nets, ranked sixth, took Eddie Griffin, known as a talented power forward, without even thinking about it.

As this high-profile guy was selected by the Nets in college, the situation in the venue finally gradually recovered!

When several unselected lottery picks were scanned one by one on TV, Bruce saw Battier's expression and couldn't help admiring this solid and simple player!

The seventh place Cleveland Cavaliers basically chose Desangena Diop without much consideration. Because of Big Z's injury problem, it became a matter of course for them to choose a center player !
When Stern appeared in the center of the venue very quickly again, Bruce couldn't help feeling anxious for Battier who hadn't been selected yet!
"The Grizzlies chose to complete the deal with the Pistons. They paid XXX and $100 million and got the eighth pick from the Pistons!!"

After the staff announced the deal between the two teams, there was finally a burst of cheers in the venue!
Since the beginning of the draft, there have been no transactions.

And now a deal about a rookie suddenly appeared, which finally made the fans and the media a little excited!

Hearing this news, Bruce couldn't help but froze in shock!

Originally, he thought that Battier might have some unexpected problems in the draft ranking because of his appearance, but now he suddenly heard the news, and felt a very strange atmosphere about this situation.

After that, ranked tenth, the Celtics, who had accumulated several draft picks this summer and the previous two seasons, selected Joe Johnson.

Immediately afterwards, it was still the Celtics' pick. After thinking about it for a while, they finally selected Rodney White, who was predicted to be the top ten pick!

With the subsequent Sonics selection of Vladimir Radmanovich, Bruce excitedly watched the ape-like Richard Jefferson on TV! !
Carroll Dawson was anxiously waiting for the Nets' reply. If they agreed to the previous negotiations, he would eventually get the Rockets' leader for the next ten years. Once the Nets refused, he simply didn't know what to do. What to do!

While he was walking back and forth anxiously, the phone placed on the table suddenly rang!
"Carol, we agree with your proposal, but the two draft picks are obviously not sincere!"

Hearing the other party's words, Dawson almost spat out his old blood. If it wasn't for being particularly optimistic about Griffin, only a fool would take out two draft picks in a row to make a deal!

"You." Although Dawson felt very annoyed, in order to get the player he regarded as the cornerstone of the Rockets, he could only grit his teeth and said: "If you are still not satisfied with the No. 23 pick, then I All I can say is sorry!!"

"Aha, Carol, your joke is not funny at all, we agreed to this deal!!"

Just after the Rockets won Richard Jefferson, the deal between them and the Nets suddenly shocked all the fans and media present!

"God, is Carol crazy??" Wilkens exclaimed and subconsciously stood up!

"Damn it, it still happened!" Even as the owner of the Warriors now, Bruce still has a rocket plot.

However, now seeing that this deal still happened, he almost wanted to run to the Rockets' small house and hit Dawson on the head hard!

Not only the team managers were shocked, but even Stern, who just shook hands with Jefferson, felt incredible!

What kind of player can make the Rockets exchange three draft picks in a row, and what kind of talented player makes the Rockets spend so much time to get the pick? ?

The transaction between the two teams was like detonating a nuclear bomb on calm water, making the venue even more noisy!
A loud noise came through the crack of the door into the room where Team Rocket was. Even though it was said that his head had been kicked by a donkey, Dawson was still rubbing his hands excitedly!

"With this guy, we will get the team leader of the team for the next ten years or more. I will make those guys cover their mouths tightly!!" Dawson's long-lost excitement appeared again in the On his face, listening to some ridicule and pessimism in his ears from time to time, he is still planning the future of the team proudly!
