Chapter 22

In the bar at night, the lights are feasting, the crowds are crowded, the explosive music is complemented by the attractive dancing, it is indescribably crazy.

In a relatively unobtrusive corner, two old men sat facing each other, drinking spirits.

"Look, let me tell you, your draft is very low, second to last, and that kid is about to become the No. [-] pick." An old and unscrupulous voice sounded lazily, "Greg, you need a deal." This person is the owner of the ramen stand. Oh, I forgot to mention that this is the largest bar in the holy city, and it is actually the owner's property.

"I know." The old man sitting opposite is the Spurs coach Popovich. Popovich is a little depressed, because Qin Yan's performance is so good that it is almost impossible to win him, even if he can be traded to the first round The lottery pick, it is estimated that he will not be able to win him, unless he has the top three picks in his hand.

"It's depressing, haha" the boss smiled immorally. It's very happy to see the old man deflate.

Popovich glared at this bad friend and didn't say a word. If it wasn't for his upset heart, how could this strict old man come to this kind of place to drink stuffy drinks? This guy has been dishonest since he came back from Japan. This kind of bars, dance halls, and casinos are so corrupt and rotten, but that broken ramen stand is better.Huh, there is no military school style at all.

"Hey, tell me now, if you really want to make a deal, what chips can you offer?" After laughing for a long time, the boss suddenly asked seriously.

"You have a solution?" Bobo rolled his eyes at his old friend.

"Let me tell you, as long as it is a transaction, there is nothing impossible, as long as the benefits are enough." The boss said seriously.

"See for yourself." Bobo took a deep breath, well, the air in this bar is indeed not very good, with too strong smell of perfume and alcohol.

"Well, Stephen and Neil, plus this year's second round? It doesn't matter whether you add the second round or not." The boss flipped through the information and frowned, "If you are willing to add Manu or Tony Take out one, and I'll give you the No. [-] lottery. It's no problem, the two of you now are probably enough."

"That's not nonsense! If Tony and Manu can take it out, I still need your help?" Popovich replied angrily.

"Well, can this person be traded?" The boss suddenly pointed to a player's profile and asked.

"Well." Popovich looked at the player who was pointed out, pondered for a moment, and then seemed to make a difficult decision, "If it is necessary, it can be."

"Okay, then you leave this matter to me, and I will take care of it for you." The boss patted his chest and promised.

Bobo didn't say anything, but Bobo still believed in the boss's ability. He said that if he could make contact, he would definitely be able to make contact.

……

At this time, all over the United States, it seems that there are telephones ringing continuously in various offices, and various voices of bargaining are constantly ringing on the telephone lines, which are also mixed with words of patting the table, cursing, and greeting the other party's relatives.This is the NBA, and this is the business league. When valuable personnel appear, no one will easily give up the opportunity to make a fortune.

……

The media are very happy at this time, because this time is the peak period of news sales!At this time, all kinds of true and false news can be reported:
"Tryout Update: Davies shines,"
"Lynx Expresses Satisfaction with Qin Yan's Trial Training",
"Kings say Robinson is a good fit for the team,"
"Who Can Get a Knight?"Bill or Waiters? "

"Shocking deal!The Heat want the No. [-] pick? "

"It was exposed that a certain star wanted to make a deal secretly"

……

On June 2012, 6, the 29 NBA Draft officially kicked off in New York's Madison Square Garden. A dozen young lottery picks, including Qin Yan, were invited to the small green room. According to regulations, they could invite My relatives and friends came to the scene to cheer for me.

Qin Yan's group of relatives and friends is actually not many people, grandparents don't come, there are only three people including his father and mother plus the girl Su Xiaoya, oh, if Bill Duffy is included, there are four people.

As soon as he entered the venue, Duffy took Qin Yan to greet some acquaintances. Qin Yan could only make arrangements for his parents, and before leaving, he told Su Xiaoya, "Help me take care of my parents. I think I'm going to that place." The little green house is waiting."

Su Xiaoya stuck out her tongue, nodded, and ran to Qin Yan's parents to act like a spoiled child. She didn't know if she knew her from here or something, but she was very familiar with Qin Yan's parents anyway.

Qin Yan followed Duffy all the way to say hello to the team managers he knew or didn't know. Anyway, they were all familiar faces. Qin Yan also smiled and chatted with those people.

Qin Yan later went to the Spurs for a trial training, and he performed very well. It can be seen that Popovich is quite satisfied with himself, but the Spurs' pick this year is too low, and there is basically no hope of going.

Qin Yan also went to the Bobcats, Cavaliers and other teams for trial training, and the results were not bad, but he always felt that the Bobcats and other teams were not very interested in him, even if he defeated such teams as McGee, Bill, and Waiters in training. Waiting for the draft to be a big hit doesn't help much. Thinking about it, my yellow skin is indeed despised by many people.

"Qin, where do you think you will be selected?" A reporter present spotted Qin Yan and started asking questions.

"It's up to the destiny. I'll do my best." Qin Yan practiced Tai Chi.

"Qin, I heard that you performed well during the trial training, but you have not been the top pick in the draft. What do you think?" Another reporter asked.

"I think every team has its own reinforcement goals. Every manager should consider from the perspective of the team and choose the most suitable person. I believe that some teams are very suitable for me." Qin Yan said neither humble nor overbearing Said, this answer is simply watertight.

"Qin..."

The people of the American empire also love to gossip and gossip. Before the draft began, Qin Yan was also surrounded by a group of reporters and asked a lot of questions.These reporters were eager for Qin Yan to say the wrong thing so as to get the headlines. Fortunately, Qin Yan was used to being a manager in his previous life, and he had never seen any big scenes, so he could get through this crisis safely.

Just when Qin Yan rushed out of the siege of foreign reporters, he found that several Chinese reporters also came to him.

"Hi Qin Yan, I'm a reporter from CCTV. As the only Chinese player participating in the election this year, what do you want to say to the fans in China?" A Chinese buddy asked with a microphone in his hand.

"Uh, hello friends in China. I'm Qin Yan. I hope I can have a better result in this year's draft. Thank you for your support." Qin Yan said concisely, because he felt that he was basically No fans!
"Qin Yan, what number do you think you can be selected, and can you become the second Chinese No. [-] pick after Yao Ming?" the reporter asked again.

"Well, I don't think I can compare to brother Yao Ming now. He is the pride of the Chinese people and the goal of my efforts. Brother Yao was the best center in his peak period. I hope that I can also become the best shooting guard in the future. Excellent person." Qin Yan still answered patiently.

"Do you think you can surpass Yao Ming's class and carry the future of Chinese basketball?" What a stupid question!

"Well, I think it's too early to talk about this issue now. Of course I hope I can be successful in the future. If possible, I would like to become a member of the Chinese national team and fight for it!" How else could Qin Yan answer? Answer officially.

After the Chinese reporters asked a few more questions and sent blessings, they also left temporarily. After all, there are quite a lot of rookies worth interviewing this year. Qin Yan’s reputation in the United States is not particularly big, but he is Chinese, his own child You still have to cover yourself.

However, the news headlines written by these people are so unreliable!

"Overseas Chinese wanderers boast that the draft will be a success! "

"Chinese rookies vow to carry the banner of Chinese basketball! "

"First Shooting Guard!Qin Yan's bold words are nothing to worry about! "

……

I really don't know how these uncrowned kings came up with these titles. Fortunately, Qin Yan has no time to talk to these friends who came from afar.Because the draft is about to start, Robinson has already called himself in the small green room.

As David Stern came to the stage and began to speak, the 2012 NBA draft officially began. Stern was talking nonsense as usual, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2012 NBA draft. ...now, let's begin."

At this time, in the private room of the Hornets with the No. [-] pick, the managers and coaches of the Hornets are having heated discussions.

"Who to choose? Davis, Robinson or China Qin?"

"I'm leaning towards Davis. Robinson's skills are already formed, too rough."

"I think Robinson is not bad, he is an immediate force."

"But what we want to choose is the core of the team! We need a new leader after Chris leaves."

"Why don't you think about China's Qin?" Suddenly someone said so.

"No, I think that kid's mid-range shot is too unstable, and I think Davis is better than him. Don't we still have the No. [-] pick? If there is no pick for China Qin at the No. [-] pick, let's pick him again. "

"Then it's settled? Choose Davis."

"agree!"

After being busy for a while, the Hornets made a choice, and an envelope was handed up. Stern smiled, opened the envelope slowly, read the name on it, and then smiled and said: "The first round of the 2012 NBA Draft The first pick, the New Orleans Hornets chose..." Then there was an inexplicable silence, deliberately keeping suspense!

"Qin, who do you think it will be?" Robinson asked Qin Yan quietly in the small green room.

"It's probably Davis." Qin Yan also said lightly, "I guess the Hornets are determined to win him."

"Huh, the Hornets without vision." Robinson was a little upset. After all, in this life, due to the existence of Qin Yan, Robinson's achievements are not inferior to Davis. Davis' NCAA championship in the original historical track was also snatched by Robinson, but the Hornets The team is still more willing to believe in Davis!
"The New Orleans Hornets selected Anthony Davis from the University of Kentucky! He is [-] meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He is a power forward and a center forward! Let us congratulate him!!"

At this time, Stern’s words finally sounded, and as expected, Davis was elected as the No. He put on the hat with the Hornets team logo handed over by his assistant, and happily took a photo with Stern.

"I am very grateful to the Hornets for choosing me, to President David Stern, and to the Hornets for their trust in me. I will work hard and will not disappoint their trust in me. I believe that I can be the best player this year. Rookie!" Davis delivered his acceptance speech, feeling unspeakable excitement in his heart.

In the Little Green Room, Robinson was very disdainful, Qin Yan was indifferent, and other rookies were envious and jealous, but everyone was looking forward to who would be selected next.

At this time, the phone rang in the private room of the Bobcats...
