Chapter 133

On June 2015, 6, the Barclays Center Arena, home of the Brooklyn Nets in New York, USA, where the annual NBA Draft will be held.

Tonight, the eyes of the American media are fixed on this place.

Although this year is not a recognized draft year, it is the busiest one in recent years.

All kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky, and even Wojnarowski, the NBA's No. [-] whistleblower, kept a low profile and dared not speak out, for fear of smashing his own brand.

Tonight, in order to choose their favorite players, the mobile phones in the offices of the thirty clubs rang non-stop.The teams are making the last effort to negotiate and compete for the pick trade.

At the same time, various media are trying to get the words of the general manager of the club for the sake of speed and the fastest time to know the result.

All the clubs are busy. In a small green room under the draft stage, 19 popular rookies in the lottery area are also sitting on chairs anxiously waiting for the moment of fate.

These 19 lists that can sit in the small green room are produced through the votes of the general managers of the NBA teams, and finally decided by the vice president of the league, Stu Jackson.

Being able to enter the "Little Green Room" means that most of them will be selected in the lottery area and are the elite among rookies.

The list of 19 invited is from:

Duke University: Zhang Zifeng, Okafor, Winslow, Tyrus Jones;

University of Kentucky: Towns, Stern, Trey Lyles, Devin Booker;

University of Wisconsin: Kaminsky, Sam Decker;

University of Arizona: Stanley Johnson, Rhoda Hollis-Jefferson;

Ohio State: D'Angelo Russell

University of Texas: Myles Turner

University of Kansas: Kelly Oubre

University of Notre Dame: Jerian Grant

University of Arkansas: Bobby Portis

And the internationals: Latvia's Kristaps Porzingis and Democratic Republic of Congo's Emmanuel Mudiay.

Seeing Adam Xiao Hua walk on stage, all the rookies at this moment began to get nervous, and Zhang Zifeng was no exception.

Sitting with Zhang Zifeng in the small green room were Chen Wei and his manager Zheng Xinguo.Chen Wei held Zhang Zifeng's hand and said, "You are the best, I believe you will be selected!"

Although Zheng Xinguo was so nervous that his palms were sweating, he still pretended to be relaxed and said: "Feng, you have to have confidence in yourself. You are the best in this class. If the previous ones don't choose you, they will definitely regret it in the future Every night, I will cry and regret my wrong decision!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Barclays Center arena, and I announce the official start of the 2015 draft."

In the Timberwolves' office, the team's executive president, Philip Saunders, was waiting anxiously in the room. When Milt Newton, the general manager, finished calling, he immediately asked, "How do the Lakers and 76ers respond?"

The general manager Milt Newton said with an ugly face, "They disagree with Zach LaVine and Rubio's offer, saying that unless Wiggins is traded!"

Philip Sanders yelled angrily, "They're robbing!"

Milt Newton also said anxiously, "Among the top five picks, only the Magic and the Kings agreed to this offer. But I don't think it's safe. Once Zhang Zifeng is not won, the rest of them are not worthy of us using Rubio and the others. Change. What should we do now, the time to submit a decision is up, should we choose Towns, Zhang Zifeng, or Okafor?"

Hearing Milt Newton's pressing question, Philip Saunders tore off the tie on his shirt annoyedly, stood up and walked back and forth in the office.

Wiggins has proved that he is moving towards a superstar, but Zhang Zifeng has not yet proved that he can gain a foothold in the NBA.Once unsuccessful, the Timberwolves will suffer a great loss.

Using Wiggins to trade, the gamble is too big, it will never work.

The draft pick cannot be traded, and now what is in front of Philip Sanders is who to choose!

Downs?Or Zhang Zifeng?

As Adam Silver announced the official start of the 2015 NBA Draft, the rankings of the 30 teams quickly appeared on the big screen behind Adam Silver, and the boxes behind each team's pattern will show their Selected rookie name.

The staff urged Philip Sanders several times. Philip Saunders knew that he could not continue, so he made up his mind to quickly write his name on it. After handing the envelope to the staff, Philip Saunders slumped in a chair Looking at the ceiling, he muttered in a low voice, "I hope I won't regret this choice in the future!"

Adam Silver smiled and took the draft envelope handed over by the staff, looked up at the media off the field and opened his lips, "The Minnesota Timberwolves, who have the first pick in the first round of the 2015 draft, made their s Choice."

At this moment Adam Silver opened the envelope in his hand, "The Minnesota Timberwolves chose..." Adam Silver paused, looked at the audience before shouting.

"Karl from Kentucky...Anthony Towns, center. Congratulations!"

Almost as soon as Adam Silver's voice finished calling the University of Kentucky, Downs in the little green room jumped up excitedly.

Even though countless people had told him before the draft that he was likely to be the No. [-] pick, the Chinese was also touted as being very likely to become the No. [-] pick.Towns has always been very uneasy, but now that he has really become the No. [-] pick, he is relieved and extremely excited.

I still won over that damned guy!

The Huaxia fans were very disappointed to hear that the Timberwolves did not pick Zhang Zifeng, but soon they became excited again.

It would be better if the Timberwolves did not choose, and Zhang Zifeng could go to my lake.

My lake is the most suitable for crazy brother!

Huaxia fans are excitedly waiting for the Lakers' choice.

Towns was speaking with reddish eyes on the stage, and the Lakers owner Buss Jr. was facing a choice at this time.

Zhang Zifeng?D'Angelo Russell?Or Okafor?Or maybe Kristaps Porzingis?

Little Bass thought twice, gritted his teeth, wrote down the name, and handed it to the staff.

After Downs finished speaking, Adam Silver returned to the stage and took the envelope handed over by the staff, smiled, "Let's congratulate Downs."

He said and opened the envelope of the Lakers in his hand: "The Los Angeles Lakers, who have the second pick in the first round of the 2015 draft, chose...from Duke University..."

Speaking of this, Adam Silver paused.

Upon hearing Duke University, Okafor and Zhang Zifeng sat up straight, anxiously waiting for Adam Silver's next sentence.

Countless viewers sitting in front of the TV are going to scold their mothers at this time.Damn, can you hurry up!

"Jahil Okafor! Congratulations!"

When they heard that the Lakers chose Okafor, countless people immediately scolded him.

What the hell, Zhang Zifeng didn't choose, but chose that softie Okafor!

Kobe Bryant, general manager Kupchak and head coach Byron Scott of the Lakers also looked at Bass Jr. in surprise.

Didn't you say you would choose Zhang Zifeng?

Seeing the three most important players all looking at him, Buss Jr. said with some embarrassment, "You know the Lakers have always had the tradition of being a center. I think choosing Okafor is more stable and more in line with the needs of the Lakers!"

The Lakers have a tradition of centers, but damn it, the most famous centers of the Lakers are all signed.

But now that I have chosen them all, what else can I say.

Kobe didn't even bother to say anything, he just turned around and left.

I will retire in a year or two. I originally wanted to use the Lakers' years of affection to help you cultivate a successor. Since you, Bass, want to be a center forward, then you can play by yourself, and I will not accompany you.

Seeing that the Timberwolves did not choose Zhang Zifeng, and the Lakers did not choose Zhang Zifeng, the general managers of the Kings, Magic, Nuggets, Suns, and Bucks were all excited. "As long as no one in front chooses Zhang Zifeng, our first choice is Zhang Zifeng. I hope the ones in front continue to be idiots. Then Zhang Zifeng is ours!"

The general manager of the Bucks even shouted loudly to his subordinates, "As long as no one chooses Zhang Zifeng, our first choice is Zhang Zifeng. If so, contact the other party immediately and ask the price of trading Zhang Zifeng!"

Watching Adam Xiao Hua walk onto the stage again, Zhang Zifeng was more nervous than ever at this moment.

I won't fall out of the top three!

"I hope they won't choose Zhang Zifeng, don't choose Zhang Zifeng. Then we can choose the Chinese Zhang Zifeng!" Many teams and clubs are praying.

Adam Silver opens the envelope: "The Philadelphia 76ers have chosen..."

At this moment Adam Xiao Hua smiled happily.

When some general managers saw this smile, their hearts suddenly jumped. Could it be that there is really no hope!

Sure enough, Adam Silver shouted loudly, "Zhang Zifeng from Duke University is a shooting guard. Congratulations, Mr. Zhang Zifeng!"

As soon as Xiao Hua's voice fell, there was a loud noise from the offices of many clubs, the sound of fists slamming heavily on the table. "Damn 76ers, hateful Sam Hinch, damn bastard! Contact the 76ers and ask the price of trading Zhang Zifeng!"

The general managers of many clubs are yelling at Sam Hinch, and the fans of the 76ers are also yelling.

"Did that guy Sam Hinch get kicked in the head by a donkey? We've got so many guys to choose from, damn it, why choose a guy with a hidden knee!"

Originally, I was worried that Zhang Zifeng would really be touted by others, and he couldn't even get into the lottery.

The worried Huaxia fans were overjoyed when they heard that Zhang Zifeng was selected with the third overall pick.

Although it is not the No. [-] pick, it is a very proud thing for a Chinese defender to be selected at such a high pick.

Maybe the Chinese men's basketball team no longer has to rely only on insiders.

Hearing Xiao Hua call out his name, Zhang Zifeng lost his mind for a moment, the past flashed in his mind like a replay of the essence of a movie.

Years of wish finally come true?I really joined the NBA?This is not a dream!

Seeing that Zhang Zifeng was distracted and didn't even hear the staff's instructions, Chen Wei hurriedly shook his hand and called softly, "Feng, Feng..."

Zhang Zifeng came to his senses, suppressed his tears, hugged Chen Wei, Zheng Xinguo, Okafor and others before walking onto the podium.

76ers general manager Sam Hinch shook Zhang Zifeng's hand with a bright smile, then handed him the 76ers baseball cap, "Welcome to the 76ers!"

Zhang Zifeng happily shook hands with Sam Hinch, and said, "Thank you for your affirmation, I will prove that your choice is extremely correct!"
