In history, Thomas Jr. may be the only one who got this pick. Oh no, Thomas Jr. has not yet entered NAB at this time.

Judging from the situation at this time, no one has played out at all, and there are only a handful of people who can sign the contract.

"I'd better give Xiao Zhu a call."

Sun Hao still took out his phone.

When he was training with the national team before, he saved everyone's numbers, and now he retrieved them and called them directly.

The phone rang for a while before anyone picked up.

"Who?"

And the first sentence he spoke had a heavy nasal sound.

Obviously, the guy is still sleeping.

Well, the time difference between Guangdong and New York is 12 hours. More precisely, Guangdong is 12 hours faster than New York.

It's almost 9:9 p.m. in New York, and it's [-]:[-] a.m. in China.

This guy, sleep late!

"Sun Hao."

"Sun... Brother Hao?"

After a vague answer over there, the voice quickly became clear.

"Congratulations, you are now an NBA player."

"Huh? What NBA player?"

Zhu Fangyu just woke up and her mind was not spinning fast enough.

"I was drafted by the NBA?"

After he finished speaking to himself, his voice suddenly became pleasantly surprised.

Apparently, this guy was drafted by the NBA in his sleep...

Sun Hao shook his head helplessly.

This scene seemed familiar to him.

Chapter 423 2005 NBA Free Agent Market

Oh yes, in history, Wang Zhelin was selected lying down like this!

What both of them have in common may be that they feel that they will not be selected.

So instead of waiting for disappointment, you might as well sleep with your head covered.

But it seems that the more they don't care, the more the goddess of luck favors them.

"Wait a minute, let me read the news."

"Don't look at it, the 60th pick."

Sun Hao directly reported the result to Zhu Fangyu.

There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone.

"It's a dream come true."

After a while, there was a burst of bitter laughter.

"It's not just a dream come true. You know that the Lakers have no draft picks this year. Except for you, there is only one second-round pick that was traded, and it's not much higher than you, the 43rd pick."

"And you know Manu Ginobili, right? He is the same as you, the 58th pick in the second round, but he is now the core of the Spurs' perimeter."

The purpose of Sun Hao's call was to give Zhu Fangyu more confidence.

But Zhu Fangyu's reaction on the other end of the phone was not very strong.

This is also normal, just like you are in a key high school with the lowest No.1 grade, and the teacher tells you that you can be admitted to a key university in the future, even Tsinghua University and Peking University...

This sounds a bit like painting a pie.

"Play well in the Asian Championships first, and then come to the Lakers for trial training after the game."

Sun Hao also knew that one or two sentences would not have much effect.

And although the Lakers management trusts him now, it is impossible to say that he can sign whoever he wants. Everyone in the championship team is useful.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Hao was still in a good mood.

When he was in the Mavericks before, Bell was his younger brother and bodyguard.

After he got to the Lakers, this role was gone.

If Zhu Fangyu could really stay, it would be a good time to make up for it.

Don't underestimate this kind of role. Jordan has Oakley, Curry has Green, and these "court bodyguards" can help superstars avoid a lot of trouble.

The draft is over, and Sun Hao went to say hello to Williams.

Paul was there when he passed and seemed to be having a good chat with Williams.

The NBA looks big, but the circle is actually very small.

In terms of numbers, there are 30 people in 450 teams, and less than 300 people can play in the NBA for a long time.

Or the matter in front of me can be explained in another sentence: the future chairman of the players union has already begun to show his communication skills.

The same is true when you think about it carefully. Which player in these first-level leagues does not have an NBA senior, but Paul has sneaked into James' circle.

This is ability.

Of course, this must be a good thing for Yi Jianlian.

If he can't become teammates with Sun Hao, Paul should be the most suitable for him.

The draft was over, and Yi Jianlian had to return to China the next day to continue preparing for the Asian Championships.

Waking up in the morning, Sun Hao sent Yi Jianlian to the airport.

The plane was a bit late, and they had been chatting in front of them, and they could talk about as much as they could. Sun Hao took out his mobile phone and read the news.

But it was just this one that made him feel like he was being fed.

The headline on ESPN is Bogut: I should be the No. [-] pick.

This guy not only wrote his dissatisfaction on his face, but also spoke it out.

If it were any other person, Sun Hao would feel that this person has ambition.

But it happened to be Bogut.

"This guy thinks of himself as Yao."

Sun Hao complained.

Yi Jianlian leaned over and took a look with some doubts.

At this time, the Asian Championships had not yet become the World Cup, Australia had not joined the Asia-Pacific Division, and the two teams had not played much in the international arena, and Bogut had not yet become famous, so there were not many grievances.

So Sun Hao's attitude towards Bogut is somewhat difficult for him to understand.

"This guy hates China very much. Next season, I'll see him blow him up again and again."

Sun Hao seemed to be aware of this, and explained casually.

"understood."

Yi Jianlian didn't ask Sun Hao if he knew anything from Bogut before, but Sun Hao said yes, that's what it was.

And Sun Hao has said so, so he will do the same.

He will be a third-year student next year, so it's easy to bully a rookie.

Sun Hao patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder with a smile.

Bogut, who aims to prove that he should be the No. [-] pick, will definitely have a very "unforgettable" rookie season.

……

The draft has officially ended, and the topic of the draft is still going on in the forum, but more people's eyes are turning to the upcoming free agent market.

Although there are no top superstars such as Sun Hao and Kobe in this year's free agent market, the level of excitement is comparable to last year's.

In the first gear, O'Neal, Michael Reid, and Ray Allen are the core of their respective teams.

The second gear, Joe Johnson, Kwame Brown, Raja Bell, Chandler, Antoine Walker, Eddie Curry, Gerald Wallace, Mobley, etc., these They are all capable and marketable, and many are even indispensable players for the home team.

In addition, among the players in the third tier, Mutombo, Horry, and Gary Payton, these are all worth the basic salary, but each team will compete for the players they want.

For the Lakers, this is also a very critical period, and it may even determine whether they can successfully defend their title.

The Lakers successfully won the championship last season, and O'Neal will definitely stay.

But his final contract will have a certain impact on the Lakers' reinforcement.

As mentioned before, the Lakers will renew the contract with O'Neal.

The so-called cap extension means that when a team has the bird rights of a certain player, it can renew without considering the salary cap.

In other words, the expiration of O'Neal's contract is equivalent to freeing up more than 1000 million space for the Lakers at once.

Why not more than 2000 million?

Because the Lakers already exceeded the luxury tax last season.

So even if there is this space, the Lakers will not necessarily run out.

For the simple reason that the Lakers are paying twice as much for every penny of that space.

If you really sign a player with a maximum salary of 1400 million, then the Lakers need to pay 2800 million.

The Los Angeles giants, the Bass family are also willing to pay the luxury tax for the championship.

But everything has a limit.

Therefore, Kupchak should be the most troublesome person during this period, both to strengthen and to help the Bass family save money as much as possible.

Sun Hao, while paying attention to the dynamics of the free market, started his own personal training camp.

He just got [Kobe Bryant's turn and fallback shooting bag], he has to find someone to practice hard.

This is also a shortcoming of the system version 2.0. In the system, he can only train one-on-one now, neither half nor the whole court.

However, there are quite a few acquaintances in the training camp this year. One is that James also organized one, and Anthony also ran over as the 03 generation;

Yao Ming, Curry, Sun Yue, and Raja Bell, there were only four left in the last training camp.

Of course, the training camp also has many newcomers, Ariza, Louis Williams, Chris Anderson, David Lee, as well as some UCLA college students and local high school students.

When asked why David Lee came back, Yi Jianlian recommended him.

After his personality changed, Yi Jianlian also began to understand the ways of the world.

There is another person who can't be said to have joined the training camp, but appeared in the training camp, and brought an extremely relaxed atmosphere to the training camp.

Doncic.

Doncic Jr. is 6 years old.

Europeans grow fast, and Doncic was born in a basketball family. According to his father Shasa, he started touching the ball when he was 7 months old, and he used mini basketballs and baskets as his main toys when he was 1 year old.

So the 6-year-old Doncic already has technology, which is jerky but comprehensive.

There is also his innate basketball IQ.

You may not believe it, when they played halftime, Doncic played directly with them.

Of course, Sun Hao didn't forget to give him a little treat.

This is the embryo of a superstar, and Sun Hao makes it like this, this is the rhythm of ruling the NBA as soon as he debuts.

Others didn't know about Kic's accomplishments in history, they just thought the kid was talented and kind of fun.

And of course that name.

"Luka Luka!"
