Chapter 1641 Choice
On June 6th, Eastern Time, this year's NBA draft began at Madison Square Garden.Zhou Buqi was very curious, so he came to the scene in person, accompanied by Sun Wanran, who was said to be a basketball fan.

Sun Guanran was in high spirits, looking at the long list of players to be selected, and asked in a low voice, "Who are we going to choose?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

After more than a month of preliminary investigation, the market has already listed a certain level for the outstanding players in this year's draft, and a relatively general consensus can be reached on this point.

Among the best players are probably John Wall, Cousins, Evan Turner, Derek Favors, Aldridge, Udo, Paul George, Gordon Hayward, etc. people.

Zhou Buqi is not a seasoned basketball fan, but he has more or less knowledge of the NBA, at least some top fans know it better.

Among these names, he doesn't know the general players, but here is a famous top star-Paul George.

This is the best candidate.

However, considering the lineup, the Warriors hope to supplement the inside line and can choose a swingman at the power forward and center position. Paul George is a small forward and leans outside.

It doesn't matter, let's select excellent candidates first.

The NBA is played differently than football.

The NBA has a salary cap. Under the guarantee of the labor system, NBA players can get super high benefits far exceeding European football players.This also means that the star-studded model of playing football in the NBA does not work.

After outstanding players grow up, they will pursue the maximum salary.

What kind of loyalty, what kind of love, what kind of return... These are all nonsense, the NBA is a business league, and all operations are business.

Subject to the salary cap, there are almost 2-3 top-paid players in a team, which means that even if the best players are selected, they will have to be traded in the future.

At least more and better assets can be traded, which is better than choosing a useless person.

For example, in the previous life, the Warriors chose an inside player named Ai Pai Youdu. This person had a weak succession and never developed in the NBA. Later, he ran to the CBA to make money, but in the CBA he could only be reduced to a marginal player. .

Sun Guanran didn't know who to choose, they were all big gangsters, and at a glance, they were all face-blind.

When the draft was in progress, the No. [-] pick was the Wizards, which attracted close attention from all parties.

The process was a bit cumbersome, so Zhou Buqi chatted, "How to solve the problem of borrowing money?"

Sun Guanran bit her lip lightly and said, "If you have a loan, pay it back. I told my parents. No one can take me for a ride. You can borrow money, but you have to pay it back. If you don't pay back the money, you won't borrow it."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, it's good to have a choice."

Sun Guanran sighed, "I'm sure I'm going to offend someone."

"There is no way to do this, unless you can raise your personal realm to another level. Money is something outside of you, so don't treat money as money."

"forget it."

Sun Guanran pouted.

She felt that she was a little woman, but she didn't have such ambitions.

Zhou Buqi felt that the draft was not interesting, so he smiled and said to her: "Choice, there must be a choice. Choice is the highest wisdom. Just like the workplace. Now is a peaceful age. In a material-rich society, In fact, everyone has the right to choose, but many people don’t know that they squeeze the subway for two hours a day, sit in the office for ten hours, work from nine to five, day after day, and have no private space.”

Sun Guanran nodded lightly, "Among my college classmates, almost all those who stayed in the capital are like this. I have talked with them, it's too hard."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, some people are very lucky. They can find meaning in their work and are willing to devote their lives to it. This is the perfect match between work and interest, but there are too few such people. Most For them, people’s work is to appear at a fixed time and place at a fixed time, doing prescribed things. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Many people would rather accept suffering than use their right to choose.”

Sun Guanran took a deep breath, "I've made my choice, I want to be nice to myself. Even relatives can't bully me."

Zhou Buqi was very happy, "That's right, that's how it should be. You can't treat yourself kindly, how can you treat others kindly? You are the most important thing."

Sun Wanran tilted her head and asked, "Why do many people prefer to endure suffering rather than choose?"

"Because suffering gets so much praise, whether it's religious, cultural or media propaganda."

"what?"

"Like India, the logic of the caste system. Why don't people of lower castes choose? Because in their belief logic, human life can be reincarnated. Suffering in this life is for the next life to enter a higher caste and live a better life. Even better. In this life, if you avoid the misery bestowed by fate by playing tricks, your next life will be more miserable. There are many ascetic monks who suffer on purpose to pursue the next life.”

Sun Guanran sighed, "Ignorant people!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "In fact, many people also realize that they can choose, and they may suffer from difficulty in choosing. Just like this draft, there are so many people, how to choose? In the workplace, some people want to start a business , Thrilling and exciting. But entrepreneurship has too much uncertainty and is too hard. Some people want to find a stable job with high salary and good benefits. But it is too restrictive, too monotonous, and too boring. Choice means Give up, choose one, give up the other."

Sun Guanran looked at him with beautiful eyes, "How do you want me to choose?"

Zhou Buqi pointed at her, "Choose yourself."

"Yeah." Sun Guanran's mouth curled up slightly, leaned closer, and whispered, "I thought you wanted me to choose you, you are my backbone."

Zhou Buqi said confidently: "This is not contradictory, you can do whatever you want without breaking the rules."

Sun Guanran pursed her lips in joy, "I know!"

The meaning is obvious, it is nothing more than doing whatever one wants within the rules of boss Zhou.That's pretty good too.Compared with those high school and college classmates before, Sun Guanran felt that he was very lucky.

Choosing to be his secretary at the beginning determined the life gap between her and her former classmates.

Soon, the draft came to the sixth pick.

The No. [-] pick is John Wall, the No. [-] is Evan Turner, the No. [-] is Derek Favors, the fourth is Wesley Johnson, and the fifth is Cousins.

No Paul George!
It's the turn of the Warriors. According to their plan, the management team suggested that the insider Ai Pai Udo should make up for the team's inside height.

However, they only have the right to make suggestions, and the final decision is in Zhou Buqi's hands.

He doesn't have difficulty choosing.

He had already thought about it.

Zhou Buqi said resolutely: "Paul George, that guy from California University. Don't let him go out of town, let him stay in California, take him home!"
