Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 7 The Promise with Petri

Now that Thompson has said so, Tyreke will wait for the new season to see the good show.The finals have come to an end, and the 2010 draft will begin.This year's draft will be held in New York's Madison Square Garden a week later, and at this time Tyreke also called his agent, Ian Tem.

"Hey, Tyreke! What can I do for you?"

"Ian, I want to ask you something. This year's draft is about to begin. After the draft, I want to talk to this year's rookie when the team holds a rookie media meeting." At this time, Terry Ke is already familiar with his agent Tem, and all matters related to basketball are handled by Tem for him.

"Hey, Tyreke, you want to get acquainted with your little brother in the future, that's right, after all, you are now the team's first brother, and you want to win over newcomers, and we must firmly grasp the right to speak in the locker room in the future .” Tem on the other end of the phone is quite sure about Tyreke’s behavior.

"Wait a minute, I'll contact the general manager of the team, Jeff Petri, and talk to him about it."

"Okay, let me know later." After speaking, Tyreke hung up the phone. Tyreke didn't think as much as Tem, he just wanted to meet this year's rookie, DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Hassan .Whiteside, after all, these two people will grow into pivotal figures in the league in Tyreke's memory.

After a while, a call came, Tyreke looked at the number, Jeff Petrie!The general manager of the team actually called himself so soon.Petri has been working in the Kings management for nearly 20 years, and he is probably the longest-serving general manager in basketball history.

"Hello, Tyreke? I heard from Ain that you want to attend the rookie's media meeting?" Petri's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, it's like this. I have only played in the league for one year, but I won the best rookie this year, and I have some experience. I want to get to know each other with the new players, motivate them, and work hard together next season. It’s all for the team, and this year’s rookie is Dema oh, it’s nothing.” Tyreke, who was speaking in a serious manner, suddenly covered his mouth, as if he had slipped something.
"Oh?! Tyreke, did you just mean DeMarcus?" Petri's voice on the phone revealed a hint of surprise.

"Uh, uh, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything." Tyreke quickly denied, after all, the draft hasn't started yet, so don't talk nonsense, don't let the king choose someone else.This year's No. 9 pick must be John Wall. Although Gordon Hayward with the 10th pick and Paul George with the [-]th pick are also quite powerful All-Stars, it would be really hard if someone else was selected. It's a bit of a surprise.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about DeMarcus Cousins!"

Petry paused for a while and continued: "To be honest, I saw the potential of a superstar in Wesley Johnson, the swingman of Syracuse University, but I didn't expect him to fall to the fifth pick. Georgetown Greg Monroe in college is a good skill player and one of my favorites. Georgia Tech's Derek Favors has great athleticism and Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins ​​also impresses me with his size, footwork and strength, which are the ones I'd like to see among our potential fifth picks."

"Um, let me also share my humble opinion. I will not comment on the others. Wesley Johnson is definitely not worthy of such a high pick!" Tyreke couldn't help but publish after thinking about it. own opinion.

"Hey, Tyreke, your idea is a bit interesting. Wesley is a player that many teams are optimistic about. Why do you say he is not worth it?" Petry asked with great interest.

"Age is too old, offensive ability with the ball is average, dribbling is average, and shooting is not stable. Of course, if I say these things, you must have reasons to refute me, and that's all I say."

"Tyreke, it's not good for you to jump to conclusions like this. Wesley's body is so strong that everyone can see it. His stable shooting in college is also a big selling point. His physical condition is also destined to make him a defensive fighter. General's talent, although he is old, it also symbolizes real combat power!" Petri said cheerfully, and he was also quite surprised that Tyreke could put forward his own ideas for the draft.

"Mr. Petri, I knew you would definitely refute me, so that's all I said, and as you said, there is no Wesley Johnson for the fifth pick."

"Tyreke, I find that you are really getting more and more interesting. For a while, you say that Wesley Johnson is not worthy of a high pick, and then you say that you can't get the fifth pick. Why do I think you have a sense of foresight? ?” Petri joked with a smile.

When Petri said this, Tyreke felt cold behind his back. He realized that he seemed to have said too much, and quickly covered up: "I'll just talk about it, freedom of speech, the rights of our citizens, hey hey-hey"

However, Tyreke wanted to end this topic, but Petry insisted, "Tyreke, how about it, let's make a small agreement, if Wesley Johnson is not worthy of one as you said High pick, next year's draft I will combine your opinions to make a selection."

Hearing what Petri said, Tyreke on the other end of the phone was shocked, thinking this is not giving me a chance!If the draft can listen to me, no matter how many picks the team has in the future, they can always get real pearls and people who are really suitable to be my teammates!After all, I know the draft situation for the next seven years!This is not going to start a dynasty!This is simply cheating!Thinking of this, Terek couldn't help panting heavily with excitement!

"What's the matter, Terek, what are you gasping for?"

"No, no, it's nothing, but I think Wesley Johnson should be able to play in the first year. It's average, not too bad. As time accumulates, you will find that he is really not worth it." At this time, Tyreke thought of Wesley Johnson's first year and the second team of the best rookie. For Petrie's promise, Tyreke had to covertly say something he knew.

"Tyreke, I really can't understand you more and more. Okay, then, I am quite optimistic about Wesley. If Wesley's first year is just okay, let's sit down together in next year's draft. Analyze and analyze, if it is true that he is not worth it as you said, I will refer to your opinion in future drafts!" After hearing what Tyreke said, Petry was very excited at the moment.

"Mr. Petri, do we keep our word?!"

"That's for sure. No matter how I say it, I'm still a person of status. Also, when the time comes for the media meeting, you will come to attend together!"
