Chapter 687
Guard George Hill was selected with the seventh overall pick in the first round.

The fifth pick in the second round selected center De'Andre Jordan.

The draft is not over yet, but for the Clippers, their draft is over.

Although the best combination of Hill and Ibaka has not been formed, the combination of Hill and Jordan, one inside and one outside, is enough to make people look forward to.

The Clippers also finally have some rookies who look like they can at least deliver.

The previous lottery pick Al Thornton played well, but from all indications, this striker is not in Lan Shengli's future plan.

Hill and Jordan soon met with the general manager of the Clippers, and after shaking hands, they exchanged pleasantries.

The Clippers should have no follow-up operations, so they quickly held a press conference for the two rookies.

A senior from Purdue Union Indianapolis and a freshman from Texas A&M University, two seemingly unrelated people, now sit together and become the Los Angeles Clippers. The rookie, this is probably fate.

In addition to Hill and Jordan Jr. participated in the press conference, sitting next to them is the general manager of the team.

"Very pleased to have two young, talented and dynamic rookies in George Hill and DeAndre Jordan to the team tonight, both players will represent the Clippers in Summer League after the Then I will sign with the team, because they are all in our team's plan~!!"

The general manager said.

Hearing the general manager's words, Hill and Jordan must have more confidence in their hearts.

Soon came the Q&A session.

"May I ask if the team is going to renew Kaman's contract, or go all out to train DeAndre Jordan~?!"

The first question the reporter asked the general manager was very sharp.

"Kaman has been in our team for many years and knows the team's tactics and situation very well. It would be great if he could lead the rookies to integrate into the NBA as soon as possible, but the current situation of the team is in the In the rebuilding stage, it may be difficult to hit the championship in a short period of time, but if Kaman is willing to stay, we are willing to renew his contract~!!"

The general manager responded very thoughtfully.

"George Hill, what do you think of your inflated draft pick that the media thinks~?!"

The reporter threw the problem to Hill again.

After hearing this, Hill didn't answer directly, but looked more embarrassed, scratched his beard, and seemed to be thinking about what to say in response.

"I will play well and prove that my ability is worthy of this position~!"

Hill thought for a long time before speaking with a more official answer.

But I don't blame Hill, this question should actually be asked to Lan Shengli, who proposed to choose Hill.

Hill is a "passive party" in the whole incident.

"May I ask DeAndre Jordan, what do you think about falling into the second round~?!, what do you think about the Clippers~?! What do you think about the biggest player in the team, Brand, who also plays inside~ ?!"

The reporter's question was simple, rude and clear.

"I thought I was going to be a lottery pick, but my name didn't come up. I thought I was going to be a first-round pick, but unfortunately, I waited for a long time, and DeAndre Jordan's name still didn't come up. Compared to my Expressing some regret and some loss, "

As Little Jordan spoke, his mood also became depressed.

Unlike Hill's "official answer", Jordan obviously has a lot more personal emotions in it.

"The Clippers were able to select me, which made me very grateful. Although I didn't have any intersection with this team before, it is an honor to go to Los Angeles and play in Staples. I am looking forward to it. ,"

Little Jordan continued.

"As for Brand, I haven't had contact with him yet, but I know that he is the No. [-] pick, and his skills are very good, especially on the offensive end. There are various offensive methods. If I can master half of them, I will be the No. [-] pick, haha~ I still hope to have the opportunity to learn more and communicate more in the future~!!"

Little Jordan continued to speak in a joking tone.

Jordan and Hill's answering methods are completely different styles, which may be the reason why the two have completely different personalities.

One is simple and unpretentious, and the other is wild and uninhibited.

However, from the perspective of answering questions alone, it seems that Jordan's answers are more skillful.

And what Jordan said is also very reasonable.

If he can have half of Brand's offense, he'll be the next Greg Oden.

"Hey, if you can learn half of the offensive ability from Brand, then this lottery ticket is really the first prize~!!"

Lan Shengli stood behind the scenes, watched the press conference in a low-key manner, and sighed.

The press conference is still going on, although most of the media and reporters have gone to the hot spots like the Bulls who selected the No.

"Okay, that's all for today's press conference, thank you everyone, the question is over~!"

The press conference will soon end, and the draft that belongs to the Clippers will also officially come to an end.

"Although the general manager said that he will take the initiative to renew the contract with Kaman, it should be a certainty that Kaman will leave the team and enter the free market~!!"

Here Lan Shengli returned to the hotel, and immediately wrote down the player list in his notebook and analyzed it.

"Firstly, Kaman wants a big contract. After all, this is the last golden period of his career. It is understandable to do so. Moreover, Kaman also wants to go to a competitive team, and he has I made it clear that I am not interested in the team's reconstruction at all, so it's good to just break up without hurting each other, and maybe after knowing that I'm back, Kaman wants to leave even more~! !"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"Kaman left, and Jordan just replaced the center position. Then next season we will form a lineup of Hill, Baron Davis (signed as a free agent last season), Maggette, Brand and Jordan. ,"

Lan Shengli drew the starting lineup and said.

"It sounds like it is better than last season, but maybe the results will be even less ideal. After all, the next home is the last season of the old coach Dunleavy. People often have negative feelings when they are about to leave their jobs and enter retirement. The mood of the work, but this is also good, the grades are a little worse, and I will win a better pick next year ~!! It is best to be the No. [-] pick, then it will be perfect, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

"No matter what happens next season, anyway, this draft is still very successful, and the harvest is full~!"

Lan Shengli continued to assert himself.
