NBA Legends Manager

Chapter 4 Draft Night

As David Scotten officially announced that when the Utah Jazz selected Costa Koufus with the 23rd pick, everyone's eyes instantly turned to Lin Zuo.

Because the next No. 24 pick is the Supersonics.They wanted to see who this braggart, who had just guarded so many people and faced live broadcasts in 203 countries and regions, was going to choose next, and how he would act like a clown.

Assistant Troy handed over the list to David Scotten. When David Scotten stepped onto the stage and announced that he had selected Serge Ibaka with the 24th pick, there was a burst of ridicule on the scene. Ibaka was late in the second round of the mock draft. The best result is to be a qualified substitute, an All-Star?It's a joke.

Lin Zuo felt the laughter at the scene, and thought to himself, it's about time to say something, how could he live up to the expectations of so many people.

Lin Zuo stood up and smiled confidently. He lowered his hands slowly to make the scene quiet, and then said, "What are you laughing at? My No. 24 pick will also be an All-Star in the future. Can I understand that you are jealous?"

As soon as the voice fell, boos splashed everywhere, and even words such as "shameless, clown" came one after another.

Lin Zuo didn't care, he finished playing by himself, and the attention was drawn, and the rest should be the performance time of the audience.

They never thought that when Lin Zuo's bragging was realized one by one in the future, how much ridicule they received today would be praised several times more in the future than they are now.

David Scotten also shook his head helplessly. Although the Supersonics are in a difficult time, it is not possible to find such a nonsense general manager. Forget it, maybe more topics are a good thing for the league.

After Lin Zuo made such a fuss, the people who chose the next pick did not attract the attention of the media or even the fans of his own team. Everyone was waiting for the next Supersonic pick.

Sure enough, when it was the Supersonic's turn to select candidates, the eyes of the people present and the cameras of the media were all aimed at Lin Zuo.

Lin Zuo still did not let everyone down, and said something that made everyone laugh again: "The person I selected with the 32nd pick is not only an All-Star, but also a superstar in the future. He is our defensive core and the top center in the league in the future."

The people at the scene didn't laugh immediately. They were waiting for David Scotten's announcement to see who was selected. Sure enough, when David Scotten announced that the No. 32 pick was DeAndre Jordan, there was a thunderous laugh at the scene.

At the same time, some media pointed the camera at Jordan, and some reporters went to interview and asked: "Hey, DeAndre Jordan, do you agree with the general manager of your team?"

At this time, Little Jordan was very embarrassed, because he knew in advance that Lin Zuo would definitely choose him, so he came to the scene excitedly, but he encountered such a thing.

Just laugh at it, Little Jordan gritted his teeth and said, "I very much agree." After speaking, he left in a hurry regardless of other things, he was afraid that the next question would be even more embarrassing.

"Hey, Presti, have you ever tried him out? Are you still stuck in the previous scouting report? During the trial, he was blown up by all sides. Both offense and defense, defensive core? Are you dreaming," a scout from an unknown team sneered.

Lin Zuo didn't respond with words, just raised his middle finger and sat down.

Crazy, crazy, this person can also be the general manager. He is arrogant and arrogant. He doesn't even know the most basic draft. What did he choose? This is what most people at the scene and the audience in front of the TV think.

But they will still pay attention to him, and pay attention to him crazily, wanting to see how this young general manager will perform and say in the future to make them laugh, after all, everyone needs some jokes in life.

At this time, the meeting room of the Supersonic was blown up. "My god Clayton, what is this Presti going to do to hype himself up? We are almost a laughingstock." McClendon pointed at Lin Zuo on the TV and said angrily.

In fact, Clayton felt extremely helpless. When the man who dug Press was the general manager, he was looking for his calmness and draft vision. As a result, it turned out like this. No, you have to ask him what he thinks.

Clayton got up and said to McClendon and the shareholders: "Excuse me, I'll make a call."

At this time, Lin Zuo was thinking about the No. 37 pick Luke Richard Mbah a Moute and the No. 45 pick Goran Dragic. After all, only Dragic has won three teams in these two descendants.Mbah a Moute has no honor, how to blow it?
At this moment, the phone rang, "Presti, what are you doing, we are almost becoming a laughing stock." As soon as he answered the phone, he heard the boss's hysterical cry.

"Boss, don't rush to listen to me first." Lin Zuo said with a smile
"Speak, I'll listen." Clayton's tone was still aggressive.

"You have already made up your mind in your heart to move the team to Oklahoma, and now the negotiation is just out of face"

"Who told you that!" Clayton asked hastily.

"Listen to me, Boss, although Oklahoma is your hometown, you must admit that the location is remote, the environment is harsh, and the economy is relatively backward. We moved away from the big city of Seattle, and the attention we received will inevitably drop sharply."

"So you are arrogant and wild, even bragging to attract attention?" Clayton's voice suddenly rose.

"As far as it is concerned, it is indeed arrogant and arrogant, but what I said has come true." Lin Zuo's voice was calm and steady.

If it is realized, the team's attention will not only not decrease, but will also increase a lot, but how is it possible that they all become All-Stars?One is not bad.

But for some reason, although reason told me that it was impossible, Presti's voice had indescribable magical power, I bet!
Thinking of this, Clayton's voice was revealing and firm: "Let's go and do it."

"OK, BOSS," before he could say "I won't let you down", a microphone landed on his lips and asked, "Presti, how is the No. 37 pick?"

Without even thinking about it, Lin Zuo said directly: "I called, didn't I say that the people I selected are all All-Stars, the No. 37 All-Stars, and the remaining No. 45 picks are also All-Stars, don't ask."

"Oh! Oh! Oh! All stars, is this the national team?" "Seattle, the national team! Seattle, the national team!" I don't know who started the coaxing, and the crowd shouted one after another, Supersonic, the national team.

Lin Zuo was dumbfounded at this moment, and quickly said to the phone, "Boss, I'll hang up first, I won't let you down!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zuo couldn't help pressing his hand on his forehead at this time, it was broken, and he was only concerned about talking to the boss just now, so he exaggerated.

There is no other way. At that time, he can only exchange system items for him to use. After playing the All-Star data, let's trade them out.After trading out, my ability has declined, so it shouldn't be my bragging.Fortunately, there is a system, Lin Zuo secretly rejoiced.

After the Supersonics selected Goran Dragic with the No. 45 pick, the people at the venue finally ushered in the last small climax of laughing at Lin Zuo.

After Lin Zuo saw that Goran Dragic was selected with the 45th pick as he wished, he was slowly relieved, so the 2008 draft can be said to be perfect.

Lin Zuo got up and was about to leave the venue. When Lin Zuo was about to step out of the venue, reporters flocked to him.

"Hello, Presti, are you serious about what you said in the draft?"

"Hey Presti, do you think DeAndre Jordan is really going to be a superstar?"

"Hi Presti, is your statement coming from confidence or pure hype and attention"

Lin Zuo was dizzy from being asked a lot of questions for a while, and regardless of other things, Lin Zuo directly took a reporter's microphone,

Said: "First of all, what I said is serious. These words come from my confidence in my own vision. The people I just selected will become all-stars, some even superstars, superstars. Time will tell everything. Okay, I am in a hurry, and the interview will end."

Lin Zuo, after returning the microphone to the reporter, strode out.In fact, he really has something to do. He wants to chat with the rookies who were selected just now. While increasing the exposure, it will inevitably bring a lot of pressure. He wants to relax them and prevent them from being overwhelmed by too much pressure.

After a while, Lin Zuo came to the arena where his rookies gathered, and the rookies were standing there neatly, waiting for the general manager who pushed them to the edge of the cliff.
