The Point Guard is Here

To be honest, Isaiah Thomas and Don Cheney couldn't understand Fan Xi's behavior.

They felt that this matter was unnecessary.

Why did you go with a fake?

"Jack, I can understand that you want to go with Milicic. This kid played well in two games last season, and he is still young and has some potential. But why do you want to go with Kwame Brown?"

Isiah Thomas racked his brains but couldn't figure out Fan Xi's idea. He said, "Are you trying to prove that you are better than Michael Jordan in this way? Michael Jordan picked a fake, and you are responsible for training this fake?"

The Smiling Assassin and Fan Xi had a disagreement. He said to Fan Xi, "We can definitely get some inside superstars. Chris Webber, I contacted him, he is willing to bow to you. There are also two powerful inside players of the Bulls, Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler... I am contacting these."

Fan Xi stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Chris Webber should not come here. He comes here just for retirement." Fan Xi said, "You find a way to get Kwame Brown and Milicic."

Fan Xi's attitude was firm.

James Dolan made a very clear statement: "That's right, Isaiah, bring these two players to the training camp." Thomas had to stop talking. He really couldn't understand what was going on in Fan Xi's mind. He felt that Fan Xi was more or less impulsive. He talked about this matter with Don Cheney, but when he turned around, Don Cheney told Fan Xi about Isaiah Thomas's complaints. Don Cheney always regarded himself as Fan Xi's man. Fan Xi didn't think anything of it. It was normal for Isaiah Thomas to complain a little, but he worked diligently and never compromised. Unlike the Clippers' Baylor, he was really a Baylor. Baylor never complained. He always nodded and bowed in front of him, and he agreed very readily. However, he always did things according to his own ideas. This made Fan Xi very annoyed. In order to avoid the Knicks' previous experience, Fan Xi will personally participate in the draft this time. He will try out the key players who came to the Knicks for tryouts. He even named a few players and asked them to come for tryouts. The players he named were: Iguodala, El Jefferson, Kevin Martin, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Tony Allen, Andre Varejao, Trevor Ariza, Deronti West, Shaun Livingston... This year, the Knicks are the team with the most draft picks, and as the championship team and the team in the world's largest city, many rookies and agents are eager to participate in the Knicks' tryouts. After all, the Knicks are in a very special situation now. They are a super team, but at the same time they are also a team with a lot of veterans, and there are many opportunities. On the first day of the tryout, Fan Xi sat in the stands. He was wearing a normal training suit and watching the group confrontation below. Although Isaiah Thomas is now the president, he likes to dig out new people very much. He stood below and did it himself. This made many players and agents who came to the tryout very excited. When the players saw Fan Xi, they kept greeting him. But Fan Xi was very cold. He sat there quietly, without a smile. He is used to this kind of cheering. He has played in the league for 10 years. Although he is still young, his story has been inspiring many basketball teenagers to move forward.

These guys in their twenties can be said to have grown up watching Fan Xi's games.

Fan Xi held his chin up until the afternoon.

This repeated for three days.

He determined that this year was indeed a weak year for the draft, and there was almost no shadow of superstars.

This year, the Knicks hold the fifth, ninth, 17th, and 21st picks, as well as the 38th and 56th picks in the second round.

He tried his best to plan the supplements for various positions in his mind.

But at the same time, his actions are also changing the draft market.

Many players who were called to the Knicks arena for trial training by him have gained more attention, and the media and other teams have recognized Fan Xi's vision.

So much so that Shaun Livingston, the high school guard, soared in the draft just because he took a photo with Fan Xi, approaching Dwight Howard and Okafor, two draft favorites.

Some players are even angry that they did not enter the Knicks' field of vision.

Ben Gordon, a shooter from the University of Connecticut, said indignantly: "Why didn't Jack Fan invite me to the tryout? Does he have such a big prejudice against the University of Connecticut? I think I am underestimated. When I enter the NBA, he will realize that I am the strongest guard of this year."

With the increase of status, Fan Xi's recognition has become the target of competition among newcomers.

Fan Xi just felt angry and funny.

When he was in a good mood, he specially called Ben Gordon and told him: "I don't have a bad impression of you. The Knicks just don't need an offensive core with the ball. We no longer need star players to hold the team."

Fan Xi's words made Ben Gordon jump up from the bed happily.

He quickly apologized to Fan Xi and said that he had absolutely no malice, but was ignored and felt very uncomfortable.

Fan Xi encouraged him to cheer up.

Ben Gordon cried happily on the phone.

Then the next day, he said in the media: Jack is my lifelong idol. The fact that he called me made me confident in my basketball career. He didn't look down on me, he felt that the Knicks already had him and no longer needed a ball-handling core.

Ben Gordon is a simple man, he doesn't boast.

So, Fan Xi stamped it and certified it, and Fan Xi replied: "That's right. That's what I said."

Fan Xi's words once again made Ben Gordon's market bullish.

…

Because of Fan Xi's relationship, this year's championship tour was arranged after the draft. Fan Xi's recent energy has been focused on the draft.

The Knicks' top brass has decided that next season, the Knicks will make major lineup adjustments.

This requires great courage.

Generally speaking, championship teams do not change their lineup easily and only make minor repairs.

However, the Knicks' lineup is too old.

Moreover, Fanxi's goal is to win five consecutive championships, so he is destined to add a long-term team.

Therefore, it has become necessary to discover talents among rookies.

Fancy will be manning the draft war room this year, with James Dolan by his side. Isiah Thomas and Don Cheney are Fanshi's assistant ministers, and the main figures in the uniform team are also out.

When Fanci entered the war room, the Los Angeles Clippers asked the Knicks if they needed to make an upward trade, but Fanci declined.

This year's trade picks are not as important as imagined.

For the Knicks, reinforcements come from the rotation and role players.

The first pick this year is the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards chose Dwight Howard without hesitation.

Howard walked onto the stage very happily. Wearing a Wizards hat, he made many commentators worry about whether this high school center No. 1 pick would become the second Kwame Brown.

Gujie

After all, the last center pick picked by the Wizards was completely wiped out.

However, the plot soon took a turn.

The Wizards, who are not short of centers, made a three-way deal with the Rockets and Magic. The Magic invited Howard back to Orlando.

This made Howard's market immediately bullish. After all, the last number one center pick in Magic history was O'Neal. What a great achievement O'Neal has been.

Howard has a promising future.

With the second pick is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Michael Jordan is the minority owner of the Bobcats. He has a gambling agreement with the big owner. The specific content has not been disclosed, but basically it is only a matter of time before Jordan becomes the majority shareholder of the club.

After Jordan acquired Kwame Brown from the Wizards, his reputation was greatly tarnished, and people thought he didn't know people well.

But tonight, with no other choice, he called the shots in the Bobcats' draft war room: draft Okafor.

Okafor is a safe choice. This is a short center who has achieved a lot in the NCAA. There is basically no possibility of losing his choice. Of course, don't expect him to achieve amazing achievements.

Ben Gordon was drafted third overall by the Chicago Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls seem to agree very much with Fanci's recognition. Since Fanci said that Ben Gordon is very good, the Bulls will naturally take a gamble.

After all, in the past history, none of the players that Fan Xi was optimistic about were wrong.

Soon it was the Clippers' turn with the fourth pick.

The Clippers are still bargaining with the Knicks at this time, hoping to exchange the fourth pick for the Knicks' fifth pick plus a first-round pick.

Fan Xi replied directly: "Master Baylor is thinking shit."

Elgin Baylor chose Shaun Livingston, who had tried out with the Knicks and had a close photo taken with Fanci.

Shaun Livingston is known as a talented high school student. He has good height, good vision, and he plays smartly. Although the confrontation is a little weaker, Fan Xi feels that his prospects are very good and he has the opportunity to become a top star.

Therefore, Fan Xi went to have a close contact with him, and that was how he took the photo.

However, the close contact between the two was not captured by the system prompts as a medal player.

Therefore, Fan Xi's interest waned.

Soon he came to the fifth pick and came to Fan Xi.

This is Fanshie's first shot tonight, and it is also his first time deciding on a draft.

He had five minutes to make final considerations.

But before that, he had already considered it with Isiah Thomas.

He asked Thomas what the odds were of getting Kwame Brown and Milicic.

Isiah Thomas said: Seventy percent.

Then Fancy asked, what was the probability that Sprewell would stay? Can Grant Hill's buyout be reached?

Thomas said that Sprewell's agent's asking price is too high, and if you don't come forward to play the emotional card, you will basically leave. The same is true for Grant. He still has three years of contract worth almost 50 million, and his agent refused a buyout of 25 million US dollars...

The two answers made Fan Xi make up her mind.

"Pick Andre Iguodala."

So, soon, the Knicks took Fanshie's decision to the bottom corner.

This decision did not surprise Thomas. Isiah Thomas also believes that Iguodala's physical fitness is the best among all outside players this year.

If Sprewell and Grant Hill cannot be retained, Iguodala is the best supplement.

When Iguodala heard that he was selected by New York, he roared with excitement at the scene. Moreover, he raised his hands in the air and echoed the crazy screaming New York fans behind him.

When he walked onto the stage, he said excitedly: "Mom, I finally have the opportunity to play ball with Jack Fan."

Iguodala was beyond excited.

Fan Xi saw this scene in the war room, and he was very happy for this excited young man: You are so lucky, your career has been on the fast track since then.

Soon, Luol Deng, another backcourt player that Fanci valued, was picked away. Kevin Martin was also taken first by the Kings. Devin Harris has never been considered by the Knicks.

Very quickly, came to the ninth pick.

It's the Knicks' choice again.

Fan Xi looked at the names on his list hesitantly.

In the end, he chose a short center who was not favored by the public.

Al Jefferson.

The reason is that the four insiders, Mutombo, Anthony Mason, Juwan Howard, and Ratliff, will all leave New York this summer, and the Knicks need fresh blood.

Although Al Jefferson is a short center, he will definitely suffer a lot in defense in the NBA, but his offense is very solid and he is a good inside offensive point. His advantages are not even possessed by the current four Knicks insiders.

Al Jefferson's selection was unexpected.

He himself was startled.

He has always been ranked at the end of the first round in previous draft projections.

However, the Knicks gave him this surprise.

He rushed to the stage excitedly.

When I shook hands with Stern, there were tears in my eyes.

Then in an interview, he said: "I was so excited. I never thought I could be selected by the Knicks. My performance in the trial training was not good at all. Thanks to the Knicks, I will definitely perform well. I will definitely I will do my best to help Jack achieve his fifth consecutive championship.”

What a sincere and good boy.

Fan Xi sighed in his heart.

Only the 17th and 21st picks are left, as well as the 38th and 56th picks in the second round.

After a long wait, the Knicks selected Andre Varejao with the 17th overall pick. Drafted Trevor Ariza with the twenty-first pick.

Afterwards, Fan Xi left the draft war room.

Because there are no players he likes among the remaining players.

Being able to pick Iguodala, Varejao, Al Jefferson, and Trevor Ariza already makes Fanshie very happy.

But when Fan Xi came out of the war room.

He got a call from Sprewell. The madman was silent on the phone for a long time, and then asked Fan Xi: "Aren't you going to keep me? Jack."

Fan Xi thought for a moment and said, "You should accept the five-year, $50 million contract offered to you by the Timberwolves. When you get there, you will form a super team with Marbury and Garnett, and with their abilities , there is no problem in ruling the West.”

"The Knicks really can't match your contract."

Fan Xi said sincerely: "No matter what, please don't choose less money because of my personal relationship with you."

The madman was silent on the phone for a long time.

He said, "Okay, I'm going to Minnesota and we'll see you in the finals."
