Chapter 38 The No.17 pick
"The Dallasites sent out a trade application to use this year's No. 9 pick, Jerome Williams, to quote our 17th overall pick and the first overall pick in the second round." After finishing the call, the manager turned his head and said to the people in the box.

"Reject them, we didn't plan to choose Jerome in the first place." Meng Yifan replied, crossing his legs. He thought that Mavericks and his gang valued the ability of trash dogs, but they still wanted to take advantage of it...

However, they were mistaken. Although they didn't get the advantage, they were at least more reliable than the original time-space choice. With the help of systematic training, Junk Dog has reached its peak period:

Strong defensive rebounding ability, offensive firepower and a good shot, it can be said that even if the Mavericks choose the old driver in the future, the garbage dog can still stay in the Mavericks and do some defensive tasks.

"The No. 13 pick belongs to the Charlotte Hornets. They have 5 minutes to consider." Stern continued to announce on the court. Although he was surprised by the harvest of Georgetown University this year, the host still had to continue hosting.

The phone in the box rang again. Under the signal of boss Harris, the manager put the phone on the outside, and the manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers was on the other end of the phone.

"Old man, I have a proposal here. Use this year's No. 12 pick Mark Pope, plus last year's No. 17 pick Bob Sura, plus our Cavaliers' No. 21 pick this year, in exchange for your No. 17 last year. How about Stackhouse and this year's No. [-] pick?" A carefree voice came from the other end of the phone.

In the box, the people who heard this, the boss looked at the manager, the manager looked at the old coach Thompson, and the old coach Thompson looked at Meng Yifan, all wanting to know what to do.

"Reject them." Meng Yifan cocked his legs, thinking that these guys were smart, and they all wanted to take advantage of him, but their wishful thinking might be in vain. Didn't even think about biting either of the brothers.

The box was very quiet. Although Meng Yifan's voice was not loud, it was also very firm. The voice was clearly transmitted to the phone, which made the person on the other side panic for a moment, and hurriedly said:
"We don't want the No. 17 pick, just give us the meaning of the No. 1 pick in the second round."

"No, hang up the phone." Meng Yifan waved his hand, everyone wanted to take advantage. These NBA executives are really blindly confident, so they really feel that they have grasped it. In the next round, Meng Yifan may give up his original draft plan and sign his own disciples, but Meng Yifan will say no without hesitation to such a person who takes himself for granted.

Mavericks box, Cavaliers box, more or less want to slap myself a few times, honestly, the draft is not good, I have to have a brain pumping, I want to cheat the numbers, I am so anxious, I refused to trade .

"The Charlotte Hornets selected Kobe Bryant, a 13 meter shooting guard from Lower Merion High School with the No.1 pick." Stern read it again with a weird face. This year's draft made him It’s somewhat incomprehensible, all kinds of chaos, presumably there will be a lot of transactions after the conference.

The No. 14 pick belongs to the Suns. The original time-space pick belonged to the Kings, but because Finley was not selected last year, the record has been dragged down a lot, and the Suns succeeded in taking the position.

For this pick, the Suns still chose Nash, the son of the wind. In addition to his thin body, Nash can be said to be a top point guard. He scored high points loudly, made precise three-pointers and made sharp breakthroughs. Except for defense, everything else was good.

The No.15 pick belongs to the Kings. The Kings management, who were worried about being intercepted, breathed a sigh of relief and chose the Serbian striker they have admired for a long time, the 2-meter-tall sharpshooter-Peja Stojakovi strange.

Peja is also a 123-style honor, once the best second team, two three-point contest champions, and three-time All-Star, but he also belongs to the kind of player who is not three-dimensional, playing the third position is too slow, playing the fourth position is too slow Light, not thick enough.

If it is placed in the small ball era, Peja can definitely achieve better results than the original time and space. However, in that era of advocating confrontation, Peja has always been criticized for being weak in offense and defense...

Although Peja's singles ability is average, as an off-ball shooter, he is quite ok. In that gorgeous Kings team, everyone's performance is so essential and so crucial.

They have achieved each other, but in the end they parted ways because of issues such as competing for the team leader...

The No.16 pick of the Charlotte Hornets chose a 1-meter point guard from the University of Kentucky. Tony Delk, a master of chaos, is omnipotent in the NCAA offensive end. Coupled with his ignorance of organizational issues, he can only be reduced to the bench to grab breakups.

The highest score in this gentleman's career was to face the Kings where the previous Peja was, and scored 53 points. Maybe he was angry that Peja was able to rank ahead of him...

Comparing this guy, it is enough to see how great the original space-time Iverson is. With a height of 1 meters, he overwhelmed a lot of strong men and was elected the champion. He averaged more than 8 points per game and more than 20 assists. good rookie...

The No.17 pick belongs to the Blazers, but because of the previous private discussion on the deal, this pick actually belongs to the number man. Meng Yifan picked up a pen and scribbled down a long list of names. The front side was not enough, and the paper was written on the back. After making a bunch of papers, hand over the paper to Ma Jian and ask him to hand it to the Blazers box.

Meng Yifan's cleverness is reflected here. Bringing Ma Jian was first of all to leave an impression on the team owners that they knew they wanted to sign such a person. Secondly, with Ma Jian, he would not have to run away.

In the box, the owner of a digital person is definitely not suitable, and the rest are either team executives or team managers. The old coach Thompson is old, and Meng Yifan is too embarrassed to let the old man move, so the important task of running is left behind. On horse fitness.

"The Trail Blazers selected the 17-meter center from Lithuania, Zidrunas Ilgauskas, with the No. 2 pick." Stern announced on the stage, sighing in his heart. Fortunately, there were people in the background. After practicing several times, I did not mispronounce the name.

"Can he do it?" Thompson's old coach looked at Meng Yifan, who had his legs crossed and looked confident, and couldn't help but ask. He had never been in contact with him before, but he was able to write down the name without any mistakes, which is enough to prove that Meng Yifan has sufficient confidence in this person.

Meng Yifan seemed to be writing smoothly and in one go, but he was actually copying the names of the star cards in the lottery card pool, and he was still complaining in his heart while copying, why is the name of Big Z so long...

"There are certain hidden dangers of injury, but it will definitely be a proper all-star level when it grows up." Meng Yifan replied casually, but the eyes of everyone in the box widened, and an unknown guy popped up at random, Can all star level?
Shaking his hands that were numb when he didn't write for a long time, Meng Yifan added: "In the second round, I will choose some reliable insiders to serve as his substitute and control his playing time. It's not a big problem."
