nba: I'm really not a hexagonal warrior!
Chapter 57
"The Oklahoma City Thunder's choice is Russell Westbrook from UCLA,"
Stern finally said.
The whole audience suddenly fell into a whisper.
Stern was shocked because he thought the Thunder's choice was not a wise one.
Stern had heard that the Thunder had tried out Su Lang before.
So Stern thought that the Thunder's choice should be Su Lang.
What he didn't expect was that the Thunder would choose Westbrook.
Su Lang smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that the Thunder would eventually choose the God Turtle as he remembered.
On the other side, the chosen God Turtle had a happy expression on his face and took the hat representing the Thunder. He walked towards Stern happily.
At this moment, Westbrook was very happy. He finally fulfilled the dream of his childhood friend.
After so much effort, he can finally step into the NBA arena with his friend's will.
Although Stern was a little surprised by the Thunder's choice, he still followed the process and shook hands with Westbrook and took a photo.
Westbrook was picked up by the Thunder staff as soon as he got off the court.
It was obvious that the Thunder did not want Westbrook to have too much contact with the media or other teams.
The subsequent draft picks did not surprise Stern.
Each team chose the one they had determined before.
The Thunder did not disrupt their draft rhythm.
Until the eighth pick.
Stern was stunned after opening the envelope.
"The Milwaukee Bucks chose Su Lang from Davidson College.
Su Lang, who was waiting quietly off the court, was also stunned.
Bucks?
The team that Yi Jianlian had played for before?
Su Lang's thoughts flew in an instant. The Bucks had never contacted him. They had never asked him to try out before the draft.
Why did they choose him?
This matter was full of weirdness.
Now there was only one possibility, that is, it was unknown whether the Thunder or the Warriors had reached a deal with the Bucks.
After Su Lang took the hat representing the Bucks, he walked onto the stands.
Stern looked at Su Lang in front of him and liked him inexplicably.
Many years ago, he opened up the NBA market in Longguo with his shameless spirit.
And Longguo players like Su Lang are the link between the NBA and Longguo.
So Stern is very fond of Longguo players. , all have an inexplicable love.
According to the process, Stern encouraged Su Lang, and then shook hands with Su Lang and took photos.
Su Lang was more careful and did not say on the stage that he was happy to play for the Bucks.
After all, it is still uncertain and there are still some variables.
If it is really as Su Lang thought, the Bucks have reached a deal with a certain team.
It would be too embarrassing to say these words now.
The draft is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Many teams have chosen their favorite players.
But at this time, Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, went crazy.
Just now! Something happened that caught Presti off guard.
Because according to his plan, Westbrook was selected with the fourth pick.
Then they had reached a consensus with the Pacers with the eleventh pick. The Walker will choose Su Lang for the Thunder, and then complete the deal with the Thunder.
This pick just exceeds the No. 14 pick in the hands of the Warriors.
Presti believes that the Warriors will use the No. 14 pick to select Su Lang.
But what he didn't expect was that Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway.
All his plans were disrupted.
Chris Mullin on the other side was also confused.
Because it was not the Bucks who reached a deal with him on the phone before.
So the Warriors were unaware of the Bucks' choice.
At this time, Chris Mullin received a call.
That's right, it was from the Bucks' general manager.
The content of the call was very simple, that is, if you want Su Lang, you must agree to their trading conditions.
In addition, the Bucks' general manager did something that made Chris Mullin Lin was mad about that.
That was to notify the Thunder.
This means that whichever team offers the higher price can complete the deal with the Bucks at the end of the draft.
After Chris Mullin hung up the phone, he angrily threw the coffee cup in his hand to the ground. He had never expected a Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway.
Moreover, the Warriors were going to select Su Lang with the ninth pick.
It was only one pick lower than the eighth pick of the Bucks.
Obviously there was a traitor on the Warriors side.
However, the news that the Warriors reached an agreement with the Bobcats with the ninth pick was only an hour before the draft.
In such a short time, the Bucks actually got their news.
This is incredible.
Chris Mullin looked at Don Nelson suspiciously.
He is the most suspicious person now.
Only he would know so much about the news of the Warriors.
"Hey! Don't look at me like that. You don't think I betrayed the information, do you? It's impossible even with your imagination."
Donnelson looked at Chris Mullin's suspicious eyes and instantly got angry.
""Sorry! I was disrupted by this news."
Chris Mullin looked at Don Nelson with apology.
In just a moment, Chris Mullin dispelled the idea of doubting Don Nelson.
Because Don Nelson had no need to do this.
For a while, the Warriors fell into chaos. On the contrary, Presti on the Thunder side was very happy. He originally thought that he was intercepted by the Warriors, but unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
But now another problem has appeared in front of him.
The general manager of the Bucks obviously wants to bite off a piece of meat from the Warriors and them.
Even if it is easy for Su Lang, the price they pay will not be small.
Now there are only two ways in front of Presti, one is to give up Su Lang, and the other is to let the Bucks bite off a piece of meat.
Presti kept weighing the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.
In the end, Presti gritted his teeth and dialed the number of the general manager of the Bucks.
……
Chris Mullin, the general manager of the Warriors, looked at the phone in his hand with a serious face.
He had already told the general manager of the Bucks about his chips.
Now it was time to wait for the general manager of the Bucks to make a decision.
Buzz!
Chris Mullin's phone rang, and Mullin couldn't wait to pick up the phone.
"Congratulations! Mr. Chris, you have won the opportunity for this transaction."
Chris Mullin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news from the other end of the phone.
But there was no happy expression on his face.
Although they got the player Su Lang, the price they paid was indeed high.
The Bucks were like vampires, tearing a piece of meat from their provincial bank.
