Pick Westbrook

Chapter 2 I want to trade up
Of course, the list of gods is used to confer gods, and Li Lai in his previous life was also a man who had seen Haomin's version of conferring gods.

It's just that in the previous life, it was Jiang Ziya who held the list of gods, but now it's Li Lai, and the functions of the two are not the same.

"According to the information in my brain, the function of the Conferred God List is to become an auxiliary tool for me to train each player under my command to become a god!

This is similar to the previous life's Conferred Gods List. "

Li Lai was still slowly digesting the artifact he had just obtained, but the two people in front of him turned pale in shock after hearing his answer.

Mark Leslie didn't expect that the crotch boy who was rumored in Milwaukee to eat and wait to die would actually have such courage to take on the current mess of the Bucks.

He even dared to independently undertake the huge loan of [-] million yuan, threatening to pay it off within three years.

"Are you crazy!"

Wesley Edens on the side finally couldn't help but face a mentally retarded emotion.

Two hundred million in three years, even when Herb Cole was alive, his entire family would not be much more than this, so who gave you the courage to say this now that you are poor and useless?

What a fool!
Mark Leslie reached out and stopped his companion Wesley Edens, looked at Li Lai and said with a contemptuous smile: "Since you want to try, then try, it is indeed impossible for us to force a trade to get the Bucks.

I also want to see if Herb Kerr's son, who has the talent to handle the world, can survive this offseason. "

After finishing speaking, Mark Leslie withdrew with Wesley Edens's haughty look.

Li Lai heaved a sigh of relief. The current Bucks team has been saved temporarily, but the crisis has not yet been lifted.

Not to mention the horrible debt of [-] million in three years, as Mark Leslie said, whether he can help the Bucks survive this offseason is probably a big question.

Right now he also has to understand everything about the Bucks as soon as possible so that he can prepare early for the next plan.

"They left?"

At this time, a girl in a white shirt and black skirt came out from another narrow white room next door.

Li Lai remembered that her name was Lee Holloway, and she was the secretary of the cheap father Herb Cole during his lifetime. She had a delicate appearance, was tall and graceful, and her figure was good enough to satisfy all men's fantasies about a secretary.

Holloway glanced at Li Lai with admiration, and then sighed imperceptibly.

"Not to mention how many trucks are needed for the [-] million banknotes in front of you, the current situation of the Bucks is enough to make you dizzy."

Li Lai said as if he had found a breakthrough in the problem: "Since you know the current situation of the Bucks, why don't you tell me everything?"

Holloway shook her head and said, "No one in Milwaukee knows that the Bucks are in trouble, I'm just a secretary.

The underlying fundamental problem is understood best only by team general manager Hammond. "

Li Lai nodded and said, "Then contact Hammond immediately and ask him to come see me."

Holloway thought that even this place was brought to him by clenching her teeth, and now she had to listen to the other party's orders, she couldn't help but feel a little angry, her light eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the black frame on the bridge of her nose was stuck.

"It's been less than a quarter of an hour since you asked me to take you to the women's room, and now you're instructing me to do this and that. You can't let the secretary do everything!"

After finishing speaking, Holloway also subconsciously looked into the small white room next to her.

"ah!

Why is there only half a newspaper? "

.........

Holloway still contacted Hammond. After all, Li Lai was the only person in charge of the Bucks now, and all matters of the team had to go through his hands.

After Hammond found out that Li Lai was looking for him on the other end of the phone, he was even more anxious than the two of them.

"Boss! The NBA draft is about to start tonight, why don't you hurry over here!"

On June 2008, 6, the NBA draft will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Thinking of this, Li Lai hurriedly asked Holloway to book the nearest flight ticket to New York.

Now that he has decided to take over the current mess of the Bucks, he must make a big fuss in this year's draft.

Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, Brook Lopez……

Although this year's rookies are not comparable to the star-studded generations of 84, 96 and 03 in history, it is still recognized as a draft year that is recognized now and in the future, and there are many potential rookies and ready-to-play players.

What's more, there is Derek Rose among them!

The most anticipated player in the NBA is probably Oden, who has never proven himself on the NBA court, and his opponents and teammates will never even recognize the title of parallel import champion.

This is Oden's strength!
But Li Lai knew very well that one of Auden's strengths was undoubtedly his unparalleled talent.

With a height of 213cm, a wingspan of 224cm, a jump of 81cm from the spot, a round-trip run of 11.67 seconds, and a three-quarter sprint time of only 3.27 seconds...

Height, wingspan, weight, perfect center static talent, and Oden is not weaker than most of the NBA's top defenders in terms of athletic ability.

This is the horror of Auden, and why people expect him.

But what Li Lai wants to say is that apart from this reason for Oden's strength, his other strength probably comes from the fans' daily fantasies.

Just like Goji Wiggins, who also caused a worldwide sensation in the draft year, was declared by fans to be rare in a century, known as the top static talent + dynamic talent in history.

What kind of bear did he play in the Timberwolves?
The average data per game is 19+4+2, or in the era of holding high the banner of offense, is this a rare thing in a century?
"It's no wonder that the Timberwolves would rather send Wiggins away in order to get Russell in the deal with the Warriors, and even took a first-round pick."

So how strong Oden is before entering the NBA, how good his physical talent is, these cannot determine whether he can play in the NBA, and it is even hard to say whether he will become like Kwame Brown in the future. .

"But Rose has really played, and he is the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA!"

Compared with Oden's highly anticipated, Derrick Rose's flash in the pan is the most distressing.

That's why there is the saying that the most anticipated in the NBA is Oden, and the most regrettable is Rose.

"Do you remember the rose in full bloom in the Windy City?"

Li Lai made up his mind that if he could get Rose, he would not let the other party be used up at the beginning of his career.

The scene of the draft meeting.

The chubby Hammond looked at Li Lai, who was late, and anxiously led the two of them to the boxes prepared for the management of each team in the draft before he had time to ask his health.

The box is condescending, and you can just see the scene of the entire conference.

"The draft will be held at 19 o'clock, and we still have half an hour to make a decision."

Hammond knew that Li Lai's reputation in Milwaukee had not been very good, and the two of them were even considered like-minded in some respects.

Originally, he didn't expect Li Lai to point the way for the team in this draft, but this year's draft is too important for the Bucks, and if he is not careful, he will waste years of hard work in vain flow.

"We are now holding a No. 8 pick in the first round and a No. 37 pick in the second round. The initial idea of ​​​​the team management is to use the first round pick to select Joe Alexander, a mixed-race star from West Virginia State University, or from Texas. The University was awarded the Bob Cousy Award to DJ Augustin.

As for the second-round pick, we will make a decision after seeing the remaining players. "

"absurd!"

Hearing the team's management's preliminary selection plan, Li Lai burst out directly.

Although Joe Alexander averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game in college, his physical talent is extremely good, and he can even kiss the basket.

But he has been playing the fourth position in college!
Among college players, players with mediocre talents naturally account for the majority, so Joe Alexander can play well in the college league with his height of 203cm.

It's just that in the NBA, can he still play the [-]th position at his height?
Can't!
If he is forced to go to the third position, how can he adapt?

After all, one of the third and fourth positions is an outside line and the other is an inside line, which in itself has a huge gap.

As for DJ Augustin, he is not even as good as Joe Alexander in terms of static talent. Although he has good skills and strong shooting ability, this is definitely not the best choice for the Bucks whose goal is to rebuild quickly.

Hammond was taken aback, and couldn't believe that this absurd sound came from Li Lai, who had always been rated as a model of the rich second generation in Milwaukee.

He asked weakly, "Then who should we choose?"

Li Lai said without hesitation: "I want to trade up!"
