Chapter 654

On June 28, the day before the draft convention, Richard met Durant and the company commander in the hotel.

Although company commander Bruel is not as dazzling as Durant, but the draft ranking is certainly not so low, it is sure to be selected in the top ten.

Brewer also knows that he is not likely to join the pirate team. After all, Richard has only one top ten pick in his hand, and it is unlikely to choose brewer with this precious draft right.

Durant is excited. He is looking forward to the Blazers signing Oden as the top scorer so that he can join the pirates.

Richard, following the process, awarded the two men the gold medal of serafaye.

The next evening, Richard and miles showed up at the draft.

Each team is ready to pick a strong new player for their team.

In particular, several teams holding the high ranking draft right, now their eyes are shining, and they can't help looking at the green house.

"Bob, the heat is selling O'Neill. Is there any progress?" Richard asked Bob miles.

Miles shook his head. "Boss, how could it be so easy? Patrilly may not wake up now. He thought Shaq was the omnipotent internal overlord in the peak period."

"The Suns are negotiating with the heat, but I've got news that the Suns are preparing to give two draft picks in the future, a rookie in the extra team, and some contracts that are about to expire."

Richard nodded. Miles is very good at finding out news. If there is any disturbance in the league, miles can get the news at the first time.

The Suns gave two first round signings and a rookie, and the heat couldn't agree.

It's mainly the sun's two first round signings. The order must be very low, and the value is not very big. It's strange that patrilly can agree.

"Continue to inquire about the news, and let out some news by the way, that is to say, Shaq is not fit now. You should know exactly how to say it." Richard said to miles.

Miles nodded and promised that O'Neal was out of shape. It's not nonsense. O'Neal played only half a season last season. Let's talk about it. Every team will believe it.

……

Stern has already begun to appear, after a while of nagging, announced the official start of the draft convention.

After a while, stern began to read out the candidates for the first place.

"I announced that Portland Trailblazers chose Kevin Durant from Purdue University in the first round."

The representatives of the teams were stunned. The pioneers didn't choose Oden, but Durant from Purdue University?!

Are they crazy? Oden is such a strong talent. They didn't choose a thin pole?!

Durant's offensive firepower at Purdue University is really quite strong.

But the NCAA players with strong offensive ability are not too many. Far from that, Adam Morrison's offensive firepower in the draft last season is quite strong, but now? I can't even start

But after a flash of surprise, the high ranking teams in the back, especially the Atlanta eagles, are now forcing themselves to look calm.

If the pirates holding the top spot don't choose Oden, what else will their Eagles want, Al hofford.

Hofford is really good, but it's far less than Oden. It's something a fool can see.

Eagles team representatives, now only hope Richard brain water, give up Oden, choose other new.

……

Durant in the little green house, completely stupid, has become the champion? It's said that Oden is the number one scholar?

What the hell are the trailblazers doing? Are they full? Why should they choose themselves with the top scorer!

He had already planned to join the pirate team. He first followed the champion team for one or two years and began to take the starting position. Then, with his own strength, he might become the leader of the pirate team.

The leader of a dynastic team, it's amazing to think about it.

But now it's over. He was chosen by the pioneers. He can't join the pirates.

Durant's face turned red and angry for a while. He may be the last number one player in NBA history to want to be number one

Durant, who was extremely upset, didn't even smile when he went on stage to shake hands with stern.

……

Soon, it was the pirate team's turn to sign.

Richard naturally did not hesitate to write Greg Oden's name on the note.

Oden, like Durant in the green room, was also confused. In his opinion, the number one scholar was completely his own bag, but now Durant took the number one.

As a result, the two most dazzling Rookies of this year are all on stage in tearsStern is speechless. It's like he was kidnapped.

Watching Richard sign Oden at the top of the table, several teams behind him sighed. Richard didn't seem to have water in his head. He was quite rational.

……

Then the eagles followed their original plan to choose Horford in the third place in the first round.

Yi Jianlian was lucky this time and was chosen by green Kai in the fifth place

Company commander brewer is the seventh to be chosen by the forest wolf.

The Philadelphia 76ers were lucky enough to pick the best sadis young in the first round.

As for another young Xia, Nick Yang, was chosen by the Wizards.

New York Knicks chose Wilson Chandler, a player who has been influenced by the culture of Chinese business club.

After the next few ranks passed, it was the pirate team's choice.

"I announced that the Charlotte pirates chose Sun Yue from Hebei Province of China, ranking 29th in the first round."

Richard's choice didn't cause any disturbance in the venue. After all, it was just the order of the bottom of the second round. The value was no different from the second round signing, even if it was wasted.

But at home, Stern's reading is to let the domestic fans thoroughly boil.

Although they are very clear that Sun Yue is not Yao Ming and is unlikely to grow into a star of Yao Ming's position, at present, Richard chose Sun Yue, at least to give Sun Yue a chance to stay in the NBA.

To Richard's surprise, the Sonics played two good cards in a row. They chose Landry in the first place in the second round and Glenn Davis in the fifth place in the second round.

Richard blinked. The Sonics were amazing. The cost-effectiveness of these two choices was so high that they almost took half of the players who were in the second round.

However, after the hand is chosen, will it be used again.

The reason why the players in many rounds are late is not that they only have the strength to break out when they are that age. In fact, some players are good in their own strength, but the team doesn't pay attention to it and doesn't get any time to play, which naturally starts to appear very mediocre.

Richard is very clear about the supersonic's talent selection vision. It's so good that he can be pointed out. It's just to cultivate the ability of new players, but it's not so good. Otherwise, they won't only a championship in ancient times.

……

In the next round of the Philadelphia 76ers, Richard chose Marc Gasol.

There's nothing to say about this choice. As long as he has the opportunity to replace the team in the draft, any passer-by will definitely win the little Gasol with high cost performance.

Next, Richard still has a second round 29 ranking. With Ramon seshens selected by the second round 26 ranking, this draft right is basically useless.

However, Richard chose a player, a draft that normally has no sense of existence.

Andre Ingram.

To be precise, Ingram didn't have a sense of existence in the first ten years of his career. He has been playing in the Development League for ten years.

The salary of the development alliance is very small. Ingram is not easy to stay in the Development Alliance for ten years.

Later, the Lakers gave Ingram a ten day short contract opportunity, so that the basketball player could not leave, the gray haired veteran came into the field of vision of the fans, plus the performance on the court was really good, the media crazy reports.

At present, Richard really has no one to choose. When watching the draft list, he accidentally noticed the name and simply chose it.

This kind of dreamer, at least Richard is quite respected, in his ability without losing the interests of the team, Richard is willing to give this kind of player a chance.

……

At the end of the draft, Richard chose four players in the draft conference, namely Oden, Xiao Jia, Sun Yue and Ingram.

It happens to be two internal and external lines, but the strength of these two external lines is too big to describe compared with the two internal lines.

However, Richard has enough outside players on hand. Even if the two newcomers have poor outside strength, it has no impact on the overall strength of the pirate team.

……

On the night of the draft, Richard received another call from patrilly.

This time patrilly gave a very honest offer. They were willing to trade O'Neill for Oden, and let Richard sign a one-year contract of 15 million US dollars for Monin to match his salary.

Riley didn't expect that the pioneers didn't choose Oden

Now that Oden is in Richard's hands, Riley immediately catches up like a bloody shark.

"Riley, Oden is not for sale. No matter what team gets him, it's impossible to trade him for a Shaq."

"You can continue to sell Shaq in the market, but I don't think Shaq can bring you the chips you want."Richard said calmly.

Riley sighed in his heart. Now he must be worried about O'Neill. He would like to sell O'Neill overnight to avoid a long dream.

But this kind of big contract player with hundreds of millions of dollars, plus the old age, is not so easy to sell.

Richard has always kept a aloof attitude towards the heat and expressed his interest in O'Neill, but once he mentioned the offer, Richard would sneer directly.

"Let's go straight, Lee. What kind of chips are you willing to pay to trade Shaq?" Asked Riley in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Riley. I'll take my family to the east coast for a holiday in the near future. Shall we meet then?" Said Richard without any hurry.

Just because he is not in a hurry and is interested in O'Neill doesn't mean Richard has to take O'Neill

If Riley had been lucky enough to sell O'Neal for a big price, Richard would not have been able to sell it for two times.
