He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

After the group photo ended, the legendary draft in 2003 finally came to an end.

Ryan was just about to find a bathroom to open the system and collect rewards when Leon Rose dragged him to the hotel to meet with the Nuggets management.

I have no choice but to talk about collecting the rewards later.

After arriving at the hotel room, as soon as Ryan opened the door, he saw dozens of people waiting for him in the room.

After seeing him entering, everyone raised their glasses to welcome Ryan's arrival.

Ryan thought that only the team owner, coach and general manager were waiting for him, but he didn't expect that there were so many staff members.

It seems that all members of the Nuggets are here to welcome Ryan.

At this time, a Reebok staff member also rolled out a cake to celebrate Ryan becoming the top pick.

The cake was made into the shape of Reebok basketball shoes. Ryan shook his head. Could it be made into Valentino next time? I think that thing will make me more appetizing.

Amid everyone's shouts of "Welcome to the Nuggets," Ryan cut the cake, and the room burst into applause.

At this time, Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe and owner Stan Kroenke came up to shake hands and hug Ryan.

Ryan looked at Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke and held his hand tightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

To be honest, Kroenke has always been Ryan's role model in his previous life!

Because he is a man who has truly accomplished the important task of "eating soft food with hard work" to the extreme.

Stan Kroenke is the largest sports tycoon in the country. In addition to the Denver Nuggets, he also owns the Colorado Avalanche ice hockey team, the St. Louis Rams football team and the Colorado Rapids football team!

And not long after, in 2007, he will become the owner of Arsenal.

This is a businessman who really makes money from the sports industry!

But as we all know, doing these big businesses requires huge upfront costs.

And Stan Kroenke comes from a very ordinary background. Normally, he would not be able to do such big business.

The reason why Huang Da started from scratch was because he met his future wife Ann Walton while skiing in Colorado in 1971.

The heir to the Wal-Mart Group!

Three years after they met, Kroenke successfully married. With his unremitting efforts and his wife's ability to make money, Kroenke entered the real estate industry in a big way, and then used the money earned from real estate to enter the sports industry.

This is how he now has a net worth of tens of billions.

If there is an author in North America who wants to write "The Son-in-law", then the prototype of the story can only be him!

Stan Kroenke's inspirational story of starting from scratch made Ryan cry. This is the real top rich woman hunter. We should learn from it!

Don't tell me, Ryan has actually learned to ski since then.

But after repeating the process of "going uphill, rolling down the snowy slope, and going uphill" for two hours, Ryan realized that he couldn't afford this bowl of soft rice, so he should just do 996.

At this time, Ryan looked at the long-admired king of soft food and hard food in front of him, and sincerely admired:

"Klenk, let's talk more about business together in the future!"

That is to say, Ryan is rich now, otherwise he would have to ask again: "I wonder if Madam has any single best friends? I don't mind those with children!"

Stan Kroenke also smiled happily. He concluded that globalization would be the main direction of NBA development in the future, so he decisively took Ryan.

Moreover, Ryan's playing style is very eye-catching. By then, the Nuggets' revenue and market value will skyrocket!

Yes, Kroenke is more interested in Ryan's commercial value than his potential.

Kroenke is a businessman who makes money from the sports industry, so he will agree to anything that can help him make money.

Of course, if winning the championship can make the Nuggets' market value skyrocket, then he wouldn't mind spending money to strengthen the team's lineup.

In short, although Stan Kroenke is not like Cuban or Paul Allen, he is purely devoted to basketball because of his love for basketball.

But I will never watch the team have a chance to compete for the championship and remain indifferent.

He was never vague when it was time to spend.

In the original history, Rick Kroenke was not stingy about spending money. In the 2007-08 season, when AI and Guagua teamed up, the Nuggets' salary ranked third in the league.

But unfortunately, that pair is really far away from success.

Looking at Ryan in front of him, Kroenke was also very excited:

"Your arrival has made the team shine!"

How can it not be so brilliant? When Kroenke bought the Nuggets in 2000, the Nuggets had nothing.

Now we have the most high-profile No. 1 pick in history, with unprecedented attention. Even if he immediately sells the Nuggets, he can cash out hundreds of millions.

Soon, General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe also began to express his goodwill:

"Don't worry Ryan, we guarantee that you will become the core of the team next season.

In fact, I’ll be building on your traits all summer long!

Our entire team firmly believes that under your leadership, the team will definitely return to the playoffs! "

"Ding!"

As soon as Vandeweghe finished speaking, Ryan heard the system prompt tone.

“Mission: Return to the playoffs!

Goal: Lead the Nuggets back to the playoffs next season.

Rewards: Choose one of skill points, talent fragments, action reward lottery gift boxes. "

Ryan called him "good guy, this mission reward is equivalent to an upgrade!"

But it's normal. After all, the task of returning to the playoffs takes a whole season to complete.

After reading the mission, Ryan was a little impatient to see the draft rewards.

I haven’t seen the rewards for free prostitution yet!

Ryan excused himself to go to the toilet. Finally, in this small, airtight room, he could happily do something with the breath of life!

Then how come you lose the breath of life when you draw rewards to make yourself stronger?

After clicking on the system interface, Ryan found three lottery bags lying quietly in the inventory.

He first opened the skill point lottery package, but found that there was only one skill point lottery opportunity, not the four when upgrading.

Only then did Ryan discover that there was a difference between a "luck draw package" and a "luck draw gift box".

The "Lottery Gift Box" includes four "Lottery Packs", and the Lucky Draw Pack itself can only draw points once.

Fortunately, Ryan used this skill point lottery package to win 3 skill points.

Just enough to increase my mid-range shooting attribute to 70!

Later, Ryan opened the talent fragment lottery package.

After opening the lottery package, the system will first ask Ryan to choose the type of talent fragment.

You can choose one of the four types of "physical talent", "passing and control skills", "finishing ability" and "projection level" to draw talent fragments.

Ryan chose shooting talent fragments based on his current style of play.

In the end, Ryan drew the "Opportunist" talent fragment.

Effect: "Significantly improves the stability of open shots and reduces the impact of physical fitness on open shots."

Improving the stability in the open position is very suitable for Ryan's current classical shooting guard style of play on the offensive end!

Finally, Ryan opened the action lottery bag that he had never touched before.

Before the lottery, the system reminded Ryan that this lottery can only draw action packs of corresponding quality based on the current host's abilities.

Click OK, and after a burst of white light special effects full of mobile game flavor, Ryan received a "Jerry West" shooting bag.

After clicking it, Ryan discovered that the shooting bag also had its own attributes.

The three attributes of Jerry West’s shooting bag are:

Release height: C.

Release speed bonus: A-.

Anti-interference bonus: B.

Note: You need to practice the shooting movements repeatedly during training and improve your shooting bag proficiency before you can activate the bonus effect.

Although the release point of this shooting bag is a bit low, the interference resistance is also average. But given that his shot speed is good and Ryan's wingspan is excellent, a low shot point is not an unacceptable shortcoming.

What's more, B's anti-interference bonus is actually pretty good.

Originally, Reggie Miller's talent fragments allowed Ryan's catching and shooting to achieve a certain anti-interference effect.

Coupled with the superimposed effects of this shooting bag, Ryan's ability to resist interference in shooting will definitely be stronger!

The next step is to connect the shooting bag proficiency in training.

After winning all three awards, Ryan's stability in catching and shooting must be stronger.

At this stage, Ryan's main focus is off-ball offense, so these improvements are very useful.

And after arriving in the NBA, although Ryan's body is still top-notch, he can no longer dunk at will like in the NCAA.

Therefore, the mid-range off-ball threat is particularly important.

Of course, this is not Ryan's final form entering the NBA.

Don’t forget, before the start of the season, Ryan, who has been training hard, has another chance to upgrade!

Arjan Arjan, come on.

Hope you can keep up with me.

After receiving the award, Ryan returned to the welcome meeting and had a good chat with the team's senior management and staff.

In order to rebuild with Ryan as the core, the Nuggets have determined that they will not renew the contract of Uncle Huo, who was the team's scoring leader last season and does not dare to play one-on-one with Ryan this summer.

Kiki Vandeweghe also promised to find an experienced point guard for Ryan and a wing partner who can shoot and make room for Ryan.

It can be seen that Kiki Vandeweghe really hopes that the team will achieve results immediately.

After all, the Nuggets have not made the playoffs for 8 full seasons!

Since the 8-year-old miracle led by Mutombo in 1994, the Nuggets have seemed to disappear from the NBA and have no sense of existence.

Jordan retired, came back, won three championships, retired again, and then came back with the Wizards and retired again. The Nuggets are still in trouble.

After all, it is one of the teams with the longest history in the league. If it continues to lose like this, the team culture will be lost.

Vandeweghe was very efficient. The night after the draft ended, there were two transfer rumors, both related to the Nuggets.

The first piece of news is that the Nuggets are in contact with Andre Miller, who led the team in assists in 2002 and plays like an old guard at a young age.

The second news is that the Nuggets are looking to sign back James Posey, a winger with excellent three-point ability and athletic ability.

Kroenke is just a businessman and doesn't know much about basketball. Moreover, he has always believed in "leaving professional matters to professionals."

Therefore, his style of managing the team is to give the general manager maximum decision-making power.

So he gave Vandeweghe several checks and told him:

"Let our No. 1 pick play happily, so that he can lead the team to victory while performing unscrupulously. My wife will not be able to see the team enter the playoffs next season, which will make my wife unhappy, and both of us will Not having a good time!”

Unfettered by the shackles, Vandeweghe was very efficient and found the two free agents immediately.

Ryan looked at the two players who flirted with the Nuggets and nodded with satisfaction.

If I remember correctly, in the summer of 2003 in history, the Nuggets spent a lot of money to sign the 2000 No. 1 pick Kenyon Martin from the Nets.

But in this history, because of his arrival, Vandeweghe changed his target to Posey, who was more suitable for his style of play.

Facts have proved that this management team really works around itself!

Moreover, the team's signing of Posey will not only be more suitable for Ryan's style of play, but also save a lot of salary space.

This makes it easier to ride a donkey to find a horse, and we can continue to strengthen it in the future!

Generous draft rewards, excellent lineup reinforcements, and more salary space

Ryan seems to be off to a good start in Denver.

The new season hasn't started yet, but Ryan is already far ahead of the competition among players of his generation!

I thought that after the 2003 draft, Ryan's days of dominance in the amateur basketball world were over.

But how could Angua and Zhanzhan think of it.

This is just the beginning of a more cruel reign!

Today’s update is here for you, conscientious friends kneeling down to read it!
