Chapter 263 The Draft Begins

"Xia, in fact, you don't have to worry so much. Ye Hao's draft situation is too bad as you think, but the real situation is not what you think, because his skills are too rough, except for a body. Many other teams are not optimistic about him, and even say that no one thinks he will reach your height, maybe few teams except our team will use the lottery to sign him now." Morey said slowly.

"Really? That's really an accident, but do we have this year's lottery pick? And how can I give Kobe an explanation for the Lakers? I had a good talk with him, but now we have to compete for Ye Hao. Yes, it really makes people blush." ​​Xia Tian asked.

Morey continued, "Xia, in fact, you don't have to worry so much. First of all, although Kobe has the right to speak on the Lakers side, their high-level executives also have their own ideas. After all, Paul may want to leave the Hornets this year. The Lakers won't pay too much for Ye Hao, so don't worry."

"Is that so? That's fine. I'll leave this matter to you. Anyway, let's pay the least price possible to get Ye Hao. Another point is McGrady. Let's sign it as soon as possible. In the new season, I will Looking forward to it."

"Okay, leave everything to me." Morey promised.

Afterwards, Xia Tian hung up the phone tiredly. He obviously only wanted to play basketball well, so why bother to worry so much? I might be even more tired.

But what Xia Tian didn't expect was that Ye Hao's draft position was so low that even the Lakers withdrew from the competition, which really made people a little confused. Can't the scouts see it?

And if Morey hadn't said that he had almost forgotten about Paul in the summer, since Paul was about to leave the Hornets, it wouldn't be far from the NBA suspension. You must know that the NBA was suspended for a full 149 days before Paul's trade.

At that time, it was precisely because of the suspension that the entire NBA started a tight game, and the entire season changed from 82 regular season games to 67 games, and more importantly, injuries!

According to the data analysis at the time, there were a total of 87 players who missed more than three games due to injuries throughout the regular season!Among them, Kobe suffered a torn ankle ligament!Slowly walked down from the peak.

"Hey, cruel season, cruel injuries, it would be great if there were no injuries." After thinking for a long time, Xia Tian could only sigh in the end. After all, as a player, he has no way to stop this incident. happened.

Time slowly came to June 6th, which was the NBA draft day. Although Xia Tian really wanted to go to the draft car to accompany Ye Hao, he couldn't get away because of the schedule.

In the end, Xia Tian had to book a plane ticket for Ye Mo and let him go to the United States to accompany his younger brother, while Xia Tian took Harden and others to sit in front of the TV and began to watch the live broadcast of the draft.

For this draft, in fact, Xia Tian still has confidence in his heart, because the Rockets started the deal just the second day after he talked with Morey.

First, he signed a three-year 400 million contract with McGrady, and then he traded Dragic to the Pacers, got their [-]th pick this year, and also got James Posey.

After watching Morey's series of operations, Xia Tian is really a capitalized service!Let alone Dragic, if you get someone else's Posey, you actually got the lottery!I really don't know how Morey talked to the Pacers, it's a big loss!

Although in Xia Tian's eyes, the Pacers suffered a loss from this deal, but in the Pacers' eyes, why didn't the Rockets suffer a loss? You must know that after Posey came to the Pacers at that time, the Pacers wanted to use the amnesty clause. He's a free agent. (The reality is that Posey did become a free agent and never played in the NBA again.)
It's just that the Pacers finally kept him due to some accidents. Now that the Rockets are here, he is eager to send Posey away. Granger, to put it simply, is that compared to the absence of the Rockets' striker, the Pacers are not bad at all.

So, this person is really incomparable to others!

The scene returns to the draft conference, which has already started for a while. It is exactly the same as the original history. The Cavaliers signed Irving with the No. [-] pick, and then the Timberwolves took Derek Williams with the No. [-] pick.

Everything is developing towards the draft of history, blue-collar players who are not bad in the future are being selected continuously, until the eleventh is selected, Xia Tian's eyes begin to squint.

Because none of the eleven were chosen, it was Thompson who later established a dynasty with Curry!This time the Warriors should be rising, Brother Spray, I'm really looking forward to it!
"Brother! I'm so nervous! Are you saying I won't be drafted early? I heard from Sister Li that the Rockets only have the [-]th pick in the lottery! What should I do if a team drafts me early!" Ye Hao gradually became nervous as each player was selected.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, I will definitely not be selected in advance! Don't think about it anymore, just listen carefully." Ye Mo hugged his younger brother comfortingly.

In fact, it's not just Ye Hao who is nervous, even Ye Mo, who is comforting his younger brother at the moment, is also nervous. Although he looks calm on the surface, it's all fake!

"Buddha bless, Buddha bless, I must let Rocket choose my younger brother! Please, Buddha" Hugging Ye Hao, Ye Mo began to pray in his heart. The third pick did not choose Ye Hao, so Ye Hao can be said to be stable!

"The No.13 pick in the first round, the Phoenix Suns' choice!" Stern paused,
"Markieff Morris from the University of Kansas!"

"Phew! Steady! My brother, congratulations, you can go to the Rockets to play!" After Stern announced the choice of the Suns, Ye Mo's heart finally fell.

"Enen! Thank you, brother! I will work hard in the future! I will never embarrass you and brother Xia!" Ye Hao also said excitedly.

Not only Ye Hao and Ye Mo, but even Xia Tian and others were relieved after the Suns announced their choice. Even Harden was even more excited and said that when Ye Hao came, he had to train him!After all, the relationship between Ye Hao and everyone is quite good.

"Next is the draft with the [-]th pick in the first round! I have to have a question here! Is this a coincidence? The same [-]th pick, the same Rocket's pick! It's also a Chinese!"

"Oh, my God, the Houston Rockets chose Ye Hao from Arizona State University!"
