Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 254 Huaxia Players
In order to reach a deal with the Mavericks, the Warriors paid a lot.

At the beginning, the Mavericks were not willing to trade Detref Schramf, although in the past two seasons, Schramf's performance was not good, and he could not even see obvious growth.

But the Mavericks are still willing to give Schramf time to grow.

Therefore, in order to impress the Mavericks to make a deal, in addition to Rod Higgins, Frank has to take this year's draft pick and next year's team's first-round pick.

With so many chips in exchange for a player who averaged less than 10 points per game, the Mavericks were moved and agreed to make a deal with Frank.

Attles is opposed to this.

In this year's playoffs, Schramf's performance was not good. It can even be said that Higgins' performance was not as good as Higgins'. Schramff's salary is twice as high as that of Higgins!

But, in Frank's eyes, it's all worth it.

The results of the Warriors next year will definitely not be bad, and the first-round picks will inevitably be late. In addition, the Warriors will hold the Clippers and the Kings in the first round next year. Whether these two teams can enter the playoffs next year is another matter. The position must be at the top, maybe there are still two lottery picks, so do you still care about such a pick at the end of the first round?

Secondly, basketball is no better than football. A team can only have 5 players on the court, plus 10 substitutes. If you don’t want to exchange small change for real money, what’s the use of keeping a pile of small change?Is New Year's money given out during the Chinese New Year?

Therefore, although Frank secretly scolded the Mavericks as vampires, he finally readily agreed.

After the start of the second round, the Mavericks decided who to choose in the second round and called Attles.

After that, the conference quickly moved to the third round of the draft.

This year is the last 7-round draft. Starting next year, the draft will be reduced to 3 rounds, and in 89, it will be reduced to 2 rounds.

Although the number of places has decreased, the value of draft picks has increased. After all, it is very rare for a team to draft 7 players a year and be able to sign two of them. All selected rookies sign.

"The Golden State Warriors selected Sarunas Matthew Leonis from Lithuania with the 1987th pick in the third round of the 20 draft."

Hearing Stern's announcement, Frank joked with Nelson: "Nellie, Downey should be satisfied now, right? Would you call him and ask him to tell his good friend Sarunas the good news? ah?"

In fact, Matthew Leonis can also be selected with a lower pick. Historically, the Warriors used the 6th round of picks, but Frank chose the third round of picks to avoid long nights. Even if he chooses the players, he will not sign them. The team is already full.

In fact, even with three rounds of picks, the Warriors still have an advantage because the strength of Matthew Leonis is definitely worth a first-round pick.

It's a pity that he is in Lithuania and belongs to the Warsaw Pact. Considering that the Cold War has not yet ended, it is still unknown whether he can come to the United States after being elected. At least for the past two years, Matthew Leonis himself has a contract. No warriors.

However, Frank didn't care at all. After all, on the back line, it is no problem for the Warriors to gather a table of mahjong at this time. There is no shortage of people at all. It can still be traded when it comes out.

Is that a player in his eyes?Those are fresh first-round picks!A three-round pick for the first round, this deal is a lot of money.

"Donnie must be watching TV, so I won't call him." Nelson was very calm today, as if the selection had nothing to do with him, he kept chatting with Attles and Frank. Interested in joking with Frank.

It's no wonder that Nelson is actually very satisfied with the team's lineup. Although there are deficiencies in some areas, the players are generally younger and there is still room for growth, so Nelson doesn't pay much attention to this year's draft.

"Hahaha, that's true, I forgot about it."

"The 1987st pick in the third round of the 21 draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected Tao Song from Putty."

Frank, who was chatting, changed his face instantly when he heard the list that Stern read out immediately. He hurriedly got up and looked out the window, trying to figure out if he heard it wrong.

Chinese people?The Eagles would actually choose a Chinese?What's happening here?This is the 80s, not after 2000!
Is it because of my butterfly effect?Or is it because of Li Weisi's outstanding performance that other NBA teams have set their sights on Asia?

For a while, Frank had many thoughts in his heart, and his heart also drifted across the entire Pacific Ocean.

"Hey, West, the Eagles seem to have chosen one of your compatriots?" Attles was also surprised.

"Yeah! I heard it."

Li Weisi was also very surprised at this time. Although his father and Frank told him many things about China since he was a child, he grew up in Jinzhou after all, and he only had a vague impression of China, and it was more based on the world imagined by Chinatown. .

But now, suddenly a player from there is so close to him, which makes Li Weisi surprised and full of curiosity. What is the strength of these players who have the same culture and blood as him?

"Al, help me look up this player, I want all his information!" Frank suddenly turned his head and said solemnly to Attles.

"Okay, I'll call right away!" Attles nodded, and immediately picked up the phone and started calling.

Attles was very fast, and in a short while, he got the information Frank wanted.

"Song Tao, born on November 1965, 11, with a height of 6cm, was selected for the Putty National Team in 208, participated in the World Basketball Championship in 82, and scored 86 points, 28 rebounds and 9 blocks in the Puerto Rico game. In this competition, I learned about Song Tao!" Attles told Frank all the information he had learned.

After hearing this, Frank's uneasy heart finally calmed down, thinking, since Eagle knew about Song Tao last year, it seems that it is not caused by his own factors.

Frank welcomes this very much. After all, he hopes to see more yellow faces in this league.

However, now he still has a question, why did he never know there was such a person before?I don't even know that there is such a Chinese who has entered the alliance?Could it be that the officials are not letting people go?
"Frank, what's the matter with you?" Others in the box saw that Frank had changed after hearing Song Tao's name, and they were very worried. In the end, it was Li Weisi who asked.

"I'm fine, West, do you want our Warriors to play a friendly match in China in the summer?" Frank, who had been thinking for a long time, suddenly asked Li Weisi.

　I didn't think too much about Song Tao's life. Everyone thought it was to change his life, let him successfully enter the NBA, and become an excellent water dispenser administrator?Or let him continue to return to his original life trajectory, retire with regret, and become an entrepreneur?
　　As for entering the NBA to kill the Quartet, don't even think about it, it's unrealistic, after all, the protagonist of this book is not him. . .
