I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 104

Joey Dorsey is in a serious state of confusion.

He felt dizzy, the noise sounded beside him, but it seemed to be far away from him, everything seemed so unreal.

He felt that someone was hugging him, like his good brother Rose, then his father, his cousin, and others shaking hands with him.

After that, someone put a hat on his head.

Until someone urged him to get on stage quickly, the voice seemed to be his manager, Old Brown.

Dorsey walked onto the stage in a daze and stopped in the middle of the stage, even David Stern in front of him seemed so illusory.

With a mechanical handshake, Stern seemed to say something with a smile, but he didn't hear a word.

His brain was still processing what he had just heard.

New York Knicks? !

Shouldn't they have chosen the Italian player Danilo Gallinari?Why did it become me!
I don't want to go to the Big Apple!
The New York Knicks are not short of money. Their market value is about the same as that of the Los Angeles Lakers. They are one of the richest teams in the NBA. The garden is the Mecca of basketball.

But it is such a team full of success factors, but it has been failing, and it has been failing for 20 years.

Ever since the gorilla Ewing retired, this team has been rebuilding, all kinds of rubbish contracts are flying all over the place, various scandals and internal strife are emerging one after another, and stupid things about people with stupid money and rich money follow one after another.

Contradictions between the management and the coaching staff, between the coaching staff and the players, between the players and the fans, between the fans and the management... It's dizzying. Here, there are only contradictions that you can't think of, and there is no contradiction that they can't do.

Based on the memories of his previous life, Dorsey knew that this team from the Big Apple would not be the worst in the next ten years, but only worse, turning into a completely rotten apple!

Although Dorsey has always hoped that his butterfly wings can change history, no matter how strong the storm caused by butterfly wings is, it may not be able to match the gravity of the "star black hole".

What Alan Houston, Marbury, Stoudemire, Chandler, and Anthony can't do, Dorsey doesn't think he can do it now.

Damn it, how could I be favored by this lousy team?I didn't hear any news before, and I wasn't even asked to go to the trial training!
What exactly do you see in me? I can't change it...

While Dorsey was standing in the center of the stage with a dazed look on his face, the draft war room in Houston was full of jubilation.

Everyone clapped hands with each other to celebrate the success of the draft battle plan.

Of course, it is not yet a complete success. It can only be said that the Long March has taken the most critical step, and there is still a lot of work to do in the future.

However, Mosaic is confident that the deal will be done.

"Okay, the draft isn't over yet, we're all nervous, we still have to choose a suitable head for the Knicks, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they have a lot of stupid money. By the way, BJ, hurry up and follow Dorsey Get in touch with your agent and tell that talkative kid not to talk nonsense during the interview..."

Dorsey walked off the stage in a daze and returned to his seat. Old Brown, who had just finished answering the phone, came to him and whispered in his ear:
"When you are interviewed by the media later, try to be vague, don't mention the future positioning and development of these topics, and don't make any comments on the Knicks."

Dorsey was shocked, and keenly captured the key information from Old Brown's words.

"You mean there will be a deal in the future?"

Old Brown nodded slightly.

"Where is it?"

"Houston!"

call--

Dorsey let out a long sigh of relief, leaned heavily on the back of the sofa, and relaxed along with his body.

Houston?Houston!
Hello Houston!
There is a glorious team history, enthusiastic fans, a relatively relaxed atmosphere of public opinion, and a locker room environment that I am relatively familiar with in my previous life. Behind it is a vast Chinese market and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans. More importantly, , I can play next to the big man I regard as my idol!
Unexpectedly, different routes lead to the same goal, and my destination is still that city.

Before that, Dorsey knew that the Rockets uniforms were interested in him.There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The Rockets sent scouts to investigate his affairs, and he also vaguely heard about it.

In the final stage, Brown arranged for himself three trial teams, including the Rockets.

However, neither the uniform nor the coaching staff showed any special closeness to him during the Rockets' trial.

Coach Adelman just stood there watching quietly, never saying a word, and Dorsey even wondered if he was asleep.

In Houston, the person who showed the most interest in himself was Jonathan Fagan, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle.

They had met before, and Fegan had interviewed himself.After this trial training, according to the plan, Feigen will arrange an exclusive interview for himself.

But the old Brown felt that doing so might cause extra problems, so he declined the request for an interview for himself.

Fegan was a little disappointed, but he still had a lot of private conversations with Dorsey, and finally said mysteriously: "Then I will save this exclusive interview for you until August!"

The implication is that he thinks Dorsey will be selected by the Rockets.

However, Dorsey himself does not have much hope for being selected by the Rockets.

Because the Rockets' draft pick is too low, they are the 25th pick in the first round. According to the memory of the previous life, they selected Nicolas Batum from France, and quickly added him to the trade. out.

Although Dorsey is happy to play for the Rockets, he doesn't want to be selected at the 25th pick. This is not only about money and honor, but also about his future development.

Generally speaking, the higher the draft pick, the more the team attaches importance to the player and is more willing to invest resources to help him grow and develop.

Unexpectedly, the Rockets management, which has always been cautious, was willing to spend blood to make a deal. No. 6 pick, what price did they have to pay for themselves?

The draft is still going on, and due to the vibration of Dorsey's butterfly wings, the result of the draft is also quite different from the previous life.

Gallinari, who should have been drafted at No. 6, fell to No. 8.

The original No. 8 pick "Chinese Boy" Joe Alexander replaced Jason Thompson to the Sacramento Kings.

The Rockets selected Danny Green with the 25th pick.

CD Roberts, who was supposed to be selected with the 40th overall pick in the second round, also benefited from the "China Tour" draft strategy. He was selected by the Boston Celtics at the last (30th) in the first round and went to the Green Jersey military.

So far, the Iron Triangle of Memphis has all become first-round picks, and the Star Trail Sports Culture Company behind them has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of this draft.

This company, which has just been established for less than a year, has three players under its umbrella, a No. 6 pick, a No. 30 pick, and a No. [-] pick.Its signing vision and operational ability are amazing, and it has become a new star in the shining industry.

It is foreseeable that with such achievements as a basis, many outstanding young talents will flock to them next year or even for a long time in the future, putting down their arrogance and taking the initiative to discuss cooperation.

And some other players also have their own destinations.

Eric Gordon was selected at No. 7, DJ Augustin became No. 9, Brook Lopez went to the Nets at No. 10, and his brother Robin Lopez was selected at No. 15. Selected by the Suns, Roy Hibbert went to the Raptors with the 17th overall pick, Darrell Arthur, who caused a lot of trouble in the finals, went to the Hornets in the 27th round, and in the future played the famous Dragic Odd was selected by the Spurs at No. 45, not as good as Patrick Ewing Jr. at No. 43...

Of course, the biggest unlucky person this year is Jordan, the center who was invited to the small green room, and was not selected until the 35th overall pick in the second round. Close-up treatment.

Later, everyone suspected that this guy worked so hard on the court, he was completely stimulated in the draft, and his psychology was a little abnormal!

In this way, the 2008 draft has finally come to an end. Whether excited or disappointed, these young talents are about to embark on a new battlefield to meet greater challenges in the future.

After the draft, Dorsey had to face many reporters.

Since his return journey is temporarily undecided, Old Brown asked Dosimo to ask for more, so as not to cause trouble for potential transactions.

However, how could such an immortal system miss the chance to make trouble.

Suddenly, the system released a new task.

"Reward 1000sp for making a statement to the media that attracts enough attention"

This is a bit troublesome. On the one hand, the agent asked to keep a low profile as much as possible, and on the other hand, the temptation from the system.

How to choose?

Soon, the reporters threw many questions to Dorsey in disorder.

"Excuse me, what do you think about your future in the NBA?"

"Are you surprised that the Knicks took you with the No. 6 pick? Any thoughts?"

"What is your position in the team? Do you have the confidence to lead the team out of the trough?"

"How do you predict your own data in your rookie season?"

……

Faced with these questions, Dorsey smiled without saying a word.

After seeing for a long time, Dorsey didn't speak, and the reporters also stopped talking, looking at the No. 6 show in doubt.

Finally, someone couldn't help asking: "Why don't you speak?"

"It's all in the words. If you have to ask, it's just one sentence: Don't read the advertisement to see the curative effect!"
