God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 492
After the roster is submitted, the league still needs to carry out a series of coordination and filing. The selected players are not yet able to report to Charlotte so soon.In fact, this is in the United States. If it is in China, it is estimated that most of the players will rush over to get acquainted with the general manager and the coaching staff immediately, and make a good impression on them first.

Chang Wei and the others don't care about the current movements of Milicic and others. Anyway, as long as the selected players return to the team at the beginning of the training camp, the most important thing for them now is the 2006 draft.

Chang Wei didn't write Roy's name on the player list before, so when he spit out this name, everyone except Jackson opened their eyes, especially Chrissy, who is the general manager. He asked: "Chang, is there any basis for you to choose this guard? I don't think you have ever seen him play, have you? We didn't invite him to try out. Besides, I heard that he tried out for other teams. The performance is average, are you sure we really want to choose this person?"

Chang Wei nodded and said: "I have many friends in the NCAA, and they all admire Roy. His statistics this season are also very good, averaging 20.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. I think he is what we need. player of."

As soon as Chang Wei finished speaking, another assistant coach raised an objection: "But he is already a senior..."

"Senior year is not a problem," Chang Wei said calmly, knocking on the table lightly, "I believe he will be able to make contributions immediately after entering the NBA, senior year of course means he is older than others, But this also shows that he is mature enough, you will never rest assured that a young boy will be the core of the team, right? I think Roy is our best choice."

After some discussions, Chang Wei finally convinced the others, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.If Calisis and the others insisted not to choose Roy, Chang Wei had nothing to do. After all, he was the general manager, and he could only make suggestions at most.

After the meeting, Chang Wei was about to leave, but was stopped by Jackson. He asked in a low voice, "Chang, do you really think this guy can become the core of the team? On the draft website, his predicted pick is only seventh. That's all."

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If he is not qualified to be the core, no one else in this draft is qualified. Believe me, Damon, Roy will become the foundation of our rise, he is A great team leader!"

On June 6 local time, the 28 NBA draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. In order to embolden Jackson, Chang Wei finally went to the draft site for the first time.Before, he had always been lazy in the rear, and now he was finally going to the front line in person.However, Chang Wei had no interest in participating in the draft in person. It was Jackson who dragged him to New York.

However, Chang Wei still has some worries in his heart. His rebirth has changed the ownership of each pick this year. If the Sonics, who have won the No. [-] pick, choose Roy, it will be a big loss for Chang Wei. Mess with his overall plan.

Fortunately, the Supersonics did not choose Roy. Now that Ray Allen is still in the team, they have no plans to choose another shooting guard as a substitute, and their final choice is the talented big man who should have been selected with the second overall pick. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge, which made Chang Wei greatly relieved, so that the Bobcats will not hinder Roy with the second pick.

A few minutes later, Stern returned to the stage, and when he opened the envelope, the surprise flickered from his face, and then he announced loudly: "In the 2006 draft, the Charlotte Bobcats selected the second pick in the first round from Washington. Brandon Roy in college."

The camera lens immediately pointed at Roy in the audience. He was also very surprised. Originally, the sixth overall pick of the Trail Blazers had already promised to pick him. Unexpectedly, he was directly intercepted when he was the second overall pick. Roy I also feel incredible.But now the only thing he can do is wear a baseball cap with the Bobcats logo on the stage, shake hands and hug the league president.

The draft is not over yet, but Chang Wei is ready to pat his butt and go back to the hotel. For him, the next draft is nothing to watch.Jackson asked curiously: "Chang, don't you plan to stay and watch the draft?"

Chang Wei waved his hand and said lazily: "After I choose Roy, my task will be completed. I don't care about the next ones. I will go back to the hotel to rest. If you want to read it, you can watch it slowly." Well, I didn’t even come to the scene before.”

Jackson shrugged. He had never been to the scene to watch the draft. Since he had this opportunity this time, he must keep Li to take a good look. If Chang Wei is not interested, let him go. Anyway, the team The goal has been accomplished.

After returning to the hotel, Chang Wei took a good night's sleep. For this draft, he didn't sleep well the night before, and he didn't fall asleep until after four o'clock in the morning. Of course, he had to catch up on sleep now.Roy put on the Bobcats jersey is already a certainty, so he will not have any work until the start of training camp, it is time to give himself a vacation, the 2006-07 season must be very busy.

Chang Wei went back to sleep, but Jackson was still watching other teams pick rookies with great interest. Of course, he also paid close attention to the media interviews the players received after being selected, especially Roy who was selected by them.In fact, it is rare to choose someone like them. After all, Roy did not come to participate in the trial training before, and the Bobcats did not express their intention to choose him. However, he still put on the Bobcats jersey in the end. It's hard to believe for fans.

In an interview, Roy also seemed puzzled. He said: "I am very grateful to the Bobcats for choosing me with the second pick. I am flattered by this, because I have not tried out for them before, maybe they don't know something. Time to find my spark? Otherwise, it would be unthinkable to use a No. [-] pick on me, and I know my projected pick is not that high."

"So you don't think you're up to the job?" another reporter asked maliciously.

"No, no, how do you understand that? I believe in my strength, no matter what the team needs me to do, I will do my best to do my best. In the next season, I will use my performance to prove myself Deserves the No. [-] pick. Bobcats is a very young team, I think I will get more opportunities there, I will help this team grow."
