I'm a ball devil

Chapter 90

Ye Hao was selected by the Bobcats with the eighth pick, and was immediately traded to the Sonics.

Although many people think he deserves such a high pick,

But more NBA fans, especially those outside of China, think this is incredible.

The Bucks took Yi Jianlian with the sixth pick, and the Sonics picked Ye Hao with the eighth pick. What's the matter?All of a sudden, two Chinese players came out with such high draft picks.

Yi Jianlian seems to be fine except for his age. After all, his physical fitness is there, and he is the top card in the CBA anyway.

But what about Ye Hao?Have you ever played in a professional league before?No, what is that CUBA?Outside China, not many people know about it.

Just like that, he was actually picked at the eighth pick?
Can CUBA compare with NCAA?Even the strength of the CBA team may not be comparable to the strong teams in the NCAA.

Any ordinary NCAA star can go to CUBA to be the boss and the big brother, right?

With such qualifications, he shouldn't be selected in the first round at all, and the front-end position in the second round is not worth it.

Are supersonic blind?
They selected Durant with the second pick, which is very good, and it is a very wise choice.

But they actually took out a draft pick next year that might be the top three pick in exchange for such a guy!
Supersonic Cliff will regret it!
Regret their deal!
At this time, fans of the Sonics are in the midst of heated discussions about the team's draft operation this year.

Their support for the team's selection of Durant is naturally fiery, from raising hands to raising feet.

But when the team traded Ye Hao for last year's draft pick, it was really cold to the heart, what kind of manipulation is this.

This year, not long after the end of the regular season, Lenny Wilkens, the president of team operations of the Sonics, chose to resign just after taking office for 40 days. Hall and general manager Rick Sander.

Without him, because the team's record is too bad, someone needs to stand up and take the blame.

A few days later, Sam Presti, who was born in the Spurs, took over as the team's general manager and brought in PJ Carlesimo, a Spurs assistant coach who was familiar with the Spurs, as the team's head coach.

It is under Presti's full operation that the Sonics have such a draft operation this year.

It's just that the fans didn't really buy into his choice of Ye Hao.

At this time, Sam Presti was still a rookie general manager of the team, and had not yet become one of the smartest team general managers in the NBA that many fans would praise in the future.

Naturally, he did not win the title of "Detonator" for the Thunder management through continuous excellent drafts.

On the contrary, because he insisted on forcibly snatching Ye Hao without going through trial training, he had to bear tremendous pressure.

If Ye Hao is just a parallel importer in the end, it is estimated that his position as general manager will not be guaranteed.

However, the dissatisfaction of Supersonic fans towards Ye Hao was soon downplayed by other more shocking things.

Because compared to Ye Hao in the draft trade, this matter is even more shocking.

Not only shocked the Sonics fans, but even shocked the entire NBA league.

As soon as this incident happened, everyone knew that the new management of the Sonics was determined to completely tear down the team and rebuild it.

After snatching Ye Hao with the eighth pick obtained from the trade with the Bobcats, the Sonics quickly reached a big deal with the Celtics.

The Sonics sent the team's top star Ray Allen and the No. 35 pick Glenn Davis to the Celtics, and got Delonte West, Wally - Szczerbiak and the No. 5 pick Jeff Green.

It's a deal the two Sonics are negotiating at the same time.

It's just a pity that the negotiations with the Celtics were a bit slow to be reached. The Celtics have been biting too hard on the bargaining chips they have given, and they are not willing to give away the No. 5 pick in their hands.

It wasn't until they and the Timberwolves also reached a consensus on a deal that it was possible to trade Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves that they let go in negotiations with the Supersonics.

Otherwise, maybe the Bobcats really have nothing to do, and they can directly select Ye Hao with the No. 5 pick.

It can also be seen from this that the new general manager Sam Presti values ​​Ye Hao.

That is, no one knows where his confidence in Ye Hao comes from.

In other words, it was he who strongly recommended that year, so that the Spurs selected the French sports car Parker.

Even the cunning old man Popovich was not very optimistic about Parker.

Therefore, this year, the Sonics won three top ten rookies in one breath, second place Durant, No. 3 pick Jeff Green, and No. 5 pick Ye Hao.

This can probably be regarded as the prototype of the most primitive version of Thunder Three Young Masters?

Ye Hao secretly complained in his heart.

I also thought that I was a melon twisted by the Sonics, so would it be sweet?

When you put this situation on yourself, it must be sweet.

He then held a press conference with Durant, Jeff Green and Sonics general manager Presti.

At the press conference, Durant was high-spirited. After Ray Allen was traded away, he already had a premonition that he would become the boss of the team in the future.

Jeff Green is equally high-spirited, because he feels that he is also qualified to compete for the qualifications of the supersonic team leader.

Only Ye Hao was quite calm, and answered the reporter's questions quite well, without saying too many rhetoric.

On the court, everything still depends on performance to win.

After all, it's not enough to just say a few words and give some young models a few likes.

Huh?Ye Hao felt that he seemed to be affected by some impressions from his previous life, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Durant.

This guy was carrying a schoolbag and wearing square-rimmed glasses. He was dressed like a young student.

"Schoolbag Du?"

Ye Hao couldn't help laughing.

Over there, Durant saw the smile on Ye Hao's face, and responded with a friendly greeting with a smile.

It's just that Jeff Green has no expression, his face is still dark.

Afterwards, the rookies of the team choose their own jersey numbers,
Durant chose the number 35 to pay tribute to his first basketball coach, who died at the age of 35 because of the shooting.
Jeff Green opted for the No. 32 he always wears.

And Ye Hao, instead of choosing No. 24, which he often wore in college, chose No. 8. This is not only in line with his draft pick, but also to pay tribute to his idol Kobe.

Kobe Bryant changed his jersey number from No. 06 to No. 07 during the 8-24 season.

Kobe said: "When I wear the No. 8 jersey, I am the player who is trying to catch up with others and wants to establish my own status; while the No. 24 represents a mature me, I think more about 'how can I There is really a big difference between helping others grow' and 'how to lead a group of teammates to a height as a team'."

He also said: "The meaning of No. 24 is 24 hours. I hope to put all my energy into basketball, which is why I chose No. 24. If I can't devote myself wholeheartedly, I am not Kobe. 24 is my best interpretation."

Ye Hao also wanted to imitate and say that when I was wearing the No. 8 jersey, I was the ball demon who was trying to catch up with Kobe and wanted to break out in the NBA.
