Chapter 684
"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the No.20 fourth pick of the Seattle SuperSonics was~ Sergio Ibaka~!!!"

The Spanish insider Serge Ibaka, whom Lan Shengli wanted, was intercepted by the Supersonics represented by Brooks.

Obviously, Brooks and Lan Shengli, the former mentor and apprentice, thought of getting together this time.

"Durant, plus the newly drafted Westbrook and Ibaka, the Supersonics are going to make trouble~!! As long as these players can be properly trained, they will definitely lead the Supersonics to rise. There is no doubt~!!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"The Supersonics seem to be a rising force in the West~!!, and will definitely be a very difficult and difficult opponent in the future~!! The Supersonics have basically completed their reconstruction, and they are already on the fast track The fleet is ahead~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to worry.

But there is not much time left to worry immediately.

Because the favorite Ibaka was selected, the Clippers had to make quick adjustments.

Fortunately, the team has several other alternatives, and the team has many years of experience in dealing with such emergencies.

Of course, that doesn't include Lan Shengli, who participated in the draft with the team for the first time.

"I finished talking with the Sonics. They are willing to send Ibaka, but they want us to take this year's second round and next year's unprotected first round~!!"

The general manager here quickly found Lan Shengli and said.

"Mr. Brooks is really a lion. Although I really hope to get Ibaka, but in the early stage of our current reconstruction, the most important resource is the draft pick. The first round must not be sent out, and the two second rounds are okay. Think about it~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Are you so sure that Ibaka will be able to surpass Brand in the future~?! Brand is the No. [-] pick~!!"

The general manager questioned.

"I can't guarantee it [-]%, but Ibaka is definitely a player who is suitable for our Clippers and our reconstruction policy~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"The most important thing is that when our reconstruction is completed, it will be three years at the earliest. At that time, no one can guarantee Brand's competitive state. After all, he is not young anymore, and this is the peak period. how many years,,"

Lan Shengli continued to explain.

"Hey, let Brand accompany the team to rebuild during the golden period of his career, I'm actually quite sorry~"

The general manager shook his head and sighed.

"This is the NBA, a business field, a business league, there is no way,,"

Lan Shengli responded.

Lan Shengli's tone sounded like a professional manager, but the general manager added more personal feelings into it.

The tone of the two people exchanged the same.

"I don't want to think about it so much. Since we want to keep the pick, we won't change it, but who are we going to use this second round pick~?!"

The general manager came back to his senses, frowned, and asked.

"Don't worry about the general manager. I already have an alternative plan, and I also guessed that such a situation will arise. In my heart, there is another player to choose from, and once selected, it can also be treated as a long-term training goal~ !!"

Lan Shengli looked at the general manager with a wise expression and said.

"Oh~?! It's almost the second round, and there are players like this~?!"

The general manager was puzzled.

"That's right, I just don't know if he can become the "fish that slipped through the net" and come to our "boat"~!!"

Lan Shengli said, and handed the general manager the player's information.

The general manager immediately looked at it seriously.

This side has reached the last pick in the first round.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the No.30 pick of the Boston Celtics was ~, JR Gilden~!!!"

The newly defending champions have selected an unknown guard.

As a rookie, being able to directly join a championship team is both a privilege and a challenge.

After all, in such a team, the space for you to play and show is very small. In the limited playing time, if you fail to play your due role, it will be difficult to have a bright future.

They will not give young players a lot of opportunities and room for growth like a rebuilding team like the Clippers.

"Huh~, there are still four picks~"

Lan Shengli sighed and said,

It seems that the "fish that slipped through the net" has not been caught yet.

And all 30 picks in the first round ended like this, and after a 5-minute break, it was the second round.

Stern also ended his work, and then it was time for Vice Chairman Adam Silver to appear.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the first pick in the second round was the Timberwolves.

"After the Timberwolves got Love, they should really give him an inside partner. In this way, it's a bit dangerous~!"

Lan Shengli thought about it and became worried.

It seems that this "fish that slipped through the net" is an insider.

After all, it also replaced Ibaka's position.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the No.30 pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves was ~, Pekovic~!!"

"Hu~~"

Seeing Lan Shengli's immediately relieved expression, he knew that this "European strong man" from Montenegro was not the "fish that slipped through the net" of Lan Shengli.

"The Timberwolves are really interesting. They chose two white men, Love and Pekovic, as insiders. It seems that it is quite difficult to gain an advantage in the NBA where there are many strong black men~!!"

Lan Shengli thought and sighed.

Not long after, it was the Timberwolves' pick again.

Because of Love's previous deal, the Timberwolves got a lot of draft picks.

Lan Shengli is still watching with a very focused expression, because this is the fourth pick in the second round. As long as this "fish that slipped through the net" is not caught, it is destined to belong to the Clippers.

"In the 2008 NBA draft, the No.30 fourth pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves was ~, Mario Chalmers~!!"

"Beautiful~!! Beautiful~!! It's done~!!!"

Hearing Xiao Hua read out such a result, Lan Shengli couldn't help standing up, waving his fists, and celebrating.

It seems that this Chalmers is not the "fish that slipped through the net", and the real "fish that slipped through the net" should be salvaged by the Clippers.

His true identity will soon be revealed~
"It's him, okay, send it over~!!"

Here the Clippers staff wrote down their names and stuffed them into an envelope.

It seems that the general manager of the Clippers has followed Lan Shengli's alternative plan.

It didn't take long for the Clippers' countdown to end.

Xiao Hua took the envelope and came to the stage.

Because it is already the second round, many people in the audience have already left, only some fans are still waiting in the stands.

"In the 2008 NBA draft, the No.30 fifth pick of the Los Angeles Clippers was ~,"
