basketball never sleeps

Chapter 224 Fuck the genius, fuck it! (11K)

Dallas and Miami are not too far apart, but because it is a flight from east to west, the three-hour flight seems as if the entire night is compressed.

The fans outside the airport were much more orderly than last year, but the cheering noises did not decrease in the slightest.

The first championship is the most exciting, but no one can have too many championships.

“Miami Champions!”

"BIG THREE!"

"we are the champion!"

The players, who had just taken a short nap on the plane, now became energetic again.

In addition to the usual cheers, there were inevitably many fans wearing No. 66 jerseys and holding signs, shouting for Mo Wen to stay and help them win another championship.

What can Mo Wen do?

In front of the camera, he bent down and kissed his jersey with pretended affection, and recalled his painful past in the copy, which brought a pair of moist eyes. It was the last tenderness he left for the fans.

You still have to pretend, this is a world where acting skills are tested.

The best actors moved into the White House, the next best became governors, and the most ordinary ones wandered around in Hollywood.

Sincerity is nothing more than the simplest acting.

After returning home, Mo Wen postponed all other work matters to two days later, except for the congratulations and greetings from relatives and friends.

But things can't be avoided after all.

As his agent, Heuman helped him block the interviews for two days, but the interview invitations had piled up to the point where they could serve as a bench.

Whether it was winning three consecutive championships after changing teams as a rookie, or scoring 62 points in the finals, or winning two consecutive FMVPs, they were all legendary.

As a star of an era, it is one of his jobs to show himself to everyone. If you don't say some things, it will be indescribable what comes out of my mouth.

At the Heat's championship parade, Mo Wen's voice was obviously hoarse.

"Your voice...did you secretly record songs again without my knowledge? You are so good, Mo, you just ignored our friendship after two years apart. Have you forgotten the days when we were together on the beach and watching birds?"

"Shut up... ahem, we're not that familiar with each other!" Mo Wen rolled his eyes.
Sunbathing on the beach? You are so ashamed to say that. When everyone was only wearing underwear in the locker room, you always told me to put something under my clothes. Now you call me a pervert when we need to compare.

"I told you he's such a cold-blooded person. You see, after the parade is over, he'll delete our phone numbers." Wade joined in the fun.

"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me." Mo Wen took out his phone and pretended to look for Wade's number. "Which one is your number? I didn't make any notes."

"He didn't even give you a note, Dwyane," O'Neal laughed.

"You damn stinky man, don't delete it, because I won't call you anymore. Let me walk through this cold and indifferent world alone from now on!"

Wade pretended to be heartbroken, but when he turned to look at the fans, his face quickly changed into a smile and he waved his championship hat.

"What's wrong with your voice? You sang in a nightclub all night?" O'Neal asked curiously.

"No, cough." Mo Wen cleared his throat without saying anything. He just stretched out three fingers in sequence, pointed at the championship trophy held by Da Fan behind him, and then pointed at his own throat.

After a little thought, O'Neal understood.

People who haven't had the same experience can't empathize, but people who have had the same experience can understand it immediately.

It would be fine if you only have one champion, but if you have many champions, those reporters will be eager to dig out all the "miracles" from your childhood for the sake of their so-called success experience.

There's no way, people always want to hear stories about talent and hard work, not luck or chance.

Wade turned around and saw the two of them holding hands and looking at each other with sympathy, feeling confused.

"What happened?"

"You do not understand."

"You're still young."

"You two Riddlers go to hell!"

……

As the Heat championship parade comes to an end.

After Mo Wen’s final touching thanks, it also meant that the biggest fish in the NBA free market since 96 Jordan has gone out to sea!

However, the free market rules start on July 7st, and contacting players in advance will be subject to a fine.

To all team managers: Screw the rules!

Regardless of whether they sincerely wanted to invite Mo Wen to "help alleviate poverty with technology" or just wanted to try their luck and bring some good news to the fans, the 18 princes began looking for various opportunities to contact Mo Wen as early as after the Heat ended.

It's really a mixed bag. Except for those teams that really can't afford to offer top salaries, basically all the players who can come have come.

The paparazzi who had been following Mo Wen were all stunned.

There is no way to finish filming.

The paparazzi who were originally on the lookout now have an extra photo album in their hands, which contains photos of senior executives of major sports teams.

"Clippers, Kings, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Supersonics, Warriors, Rockets, Hornets, Mavericks..."

"Raptors, Bucks, Bulls, Hawks, Bobcats, Magic, Pacers, Knicks, Boston..."

"That doesn't make sense. Why are so many teams with little salary space joining in the fun?" A reporter who is familiar with the situation of each team noticed that there seemed to be a lot of slackers among them.

"Maybe he came to see if Mo Wen would take a break for a while after winning three consecutive championships like Jordan did and then come back to play? Weren't there many directors in Hollywood who wanted him to make movies some time ago?" another reporter with a wild imagination speculated.

……

"Are you sure the Knicks can get rid of the salary burden within one year?" Mo Wen looked at the sincere Isaiah Thomas in front of him and covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

I have to say that Zhongden is really imaginative. He pulled over Spike Lee, an old New York fan and famous director, and lobbied him to take a year off to shoot a basketball movie funded by a fund invested by Dolan with 3500 million US dollars, and then wait until the Knicks free up salary space next year before signing with the Knicks.

Of course, his actor's salary will account for the largest share of the entire film, about 3000 million.

As expected of an old capitalist empire, it is really good at playing the revolving door.

As Mo Wen's agent, Heuman wanted to directly reject Thomas's outrageous proposal, but the amount involved was too large, and out of professional responsibility he had to let Mo Wen meet him and make the decision in person.

Of course Mo Wen is not stupid.

Although the money the Knicks gave was astronomical, and filming a movie was definitely easier than playing a game, the problem was that his income wasn’t just salary.

His commercial value determines that even if he gets the maximum salary, it is not enough to pay taxes, and a large proportion of his income depends on the fame he has gained on the court.

Neither the Pistons nor the Heat are essentially his teams. He does not have as much influence as Dan Zi, so he can just go and do something else.

Seeing Mo Wen's refusal, Xiuman also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Mo Wen would become arrogant and lose track of where his roots were.

New York is a good place, and the Knicks offer a lot of money.

But that’s not how money is made.

He sent away Isaiah and Spike Lee, who had promised to wait for his next contract.

Mo Wen and Xiuman smiled bitterly and spread their hands.

What a bullshit!

They have already received initial offers from all teams.

Back in the study, the two spread out the intention contracts of each team.

First, I picked out a few impossible ones like the Knicks and threw them directly into the shredder next to me.

Human put aside the contracts of several teams he was optimistic about, and the rest was up to Mo Wen to decide on his own.

Mo Wen took a quick look, picked out the contracts of the Bulls and Bobcats first, and threw them into the shredder.

Heuman sighed.

The Bulls are one of his most promising teams because they have a solid roster and talented young players. With the example of Nash joining the Suns, there is a high probability that Mo Wen will also have no problem.

Chicago is also a big city, and the fan group is very mature and well-trained. The only reason it seems to be bad in the past two years is because of the poor performance of the team.

The Bobcats look bad, but the team has a No. 3 and a No. 4 pick in the past two years, and there is no sign of both high-ranking inside players being wasted. The team previously traded for Rashard Lewis, a space-type 5 or position player who has already played well and is a good match for Mo Wen. The Bobcats also have a No. pick this year and can select a high rookie. The accumulated talent is also sufficient, and the ample salary space can also fill Mo Wen's contract.

but.

Human also understood why Mo Wen directly excluded these two teams——

Jordan.

If Mo Wen went to the Bulls, he would most likely be dubbed Jordan's successor, but if he went to the Bobcats, he would directly become Jordan's soldier.

Given Mo Wen's current great start, it is impossible for him not to strive for the "godly position".

If Mo Wen wants to surpass Jordan, he must cut ties with Jordan.

As Mo Wen's agent, he didn't know much else, but he knew one thing very well - Mo Wen had never worn AJ shoes since his debut.

Human wasn't sure whether this was Mo Wen's ambition from the beginning, but Mo Wen definitely had this ambition now.

Raptors, Magic, Rockets...

Mo Wen sent each team's wait into the shredder.

Mo Wen did not hesitate for too long when making the decision, which even seemed a little hasty to Human.

However, he firmly believed in his own judgment.

Because no one in the entire NBA knows these teams better than himself!

Not only thousands of copies of the game, when he was in the Pistons, he would often look up information on previous games and player information, and as he learned more and more, he knew everything.

From the city, to teammates, to the team culture, the character of the team owner, to the ability of the management, Mo Wen has a scale in his heart. He certainly doesn't know everything, but few people have more information than him.

As for brainstorming, this term is used when solving problems, not when making judgments.

Hold big meetings for small matters, small meetings for big matters, and no meetings for extremely important matters - the United Nations General Assembly has long proved the practical significance of this statement.

There are fewer and fewer teams on the table.

He picked up the walker's share, hesitated, and then kept it.

The day before yesterday, Big Bird had discussed this with him earnestly on the phone.

They really don't have enough salary to spare, but if Mo Wen is willing to stay in the Pacers for a long time, they are willing to clear out Mo Wen's share at any cost.

But he looked at the Pacers' salary structure. If the Pacers want to have the space to sign him, they must send O'Neal away. If they send O'Neal away, the other players on the Pacers will be useless.

Of course, O'Neal himself is not a very good player. The true shooting percentage of inside stars is around 50% all year round, which can only be considered mediocre in this era.

Even if Bird created a trade miracle and got both him and O'Neal, we still have to consider O'Neal's glass-glass attributes and inefficient playing style.

The only thing that would satisfy Mo Wen is to exchange O'Neal for a star player that Mo Wen likes but with a small contract, but this is too difficult.

Finally, there are only 6 left.

Kings, Warriors, SuperSonics, Hawks, Bucks, Pacers.

Xiuman had some doubts about Mo Wen's final choice.

There are some that he likes, but also a few that he doesn't like.

"The Supersonics may have to change their owner soon," Heuman indicated.

"Well, it's okay."

Of course Mo Wen knew it, and it was not just possible, it was inevitable.

He also knew that later the new owner of the Supersonics took away the Supersonics team and NBA qualification and ran away to the rural Oklahoma on the grounds that the fans were not satisfied with the team's poor performance and the city government would not build a new arena.

This is not a problem for him. The Supersonics have a good foundation. At least they have Milicic and Ray Allen. As long as there are no major injuries, they can easily reach the second round in the first year and enter the Western Conference Finals. It is not impossible to go further.

If there are achievements, there will naturally be fans.

If the team really wants to move to another city, the city will not agree. This involves the NBA's territorial rules and local residents' voting - you may not be able to cut down the trees you planted.

In fact, the most ideal teams are the Knicks, Trail Blazers, and later the Clippers, teams in big cities with suckers as owners, willing to pay luxury taxes, and owners who are not too demanding, but such teams are too unchallenging.

It is said that Clippers owner Ballmer is still a Seattle citizen. After the Thunder went public through a backdoor listing, he initially wanted to buy the Kings and move them back to Seattle, but was rejected by the Seattle government and local fans.

Later, fans wearing SuperSonics jerseys could often be seen on the Clippers sidelines holding signs asking Ballmer to move the Clippers back to Seattle.

But guess what, Ballmer has become accustomed to the warm sunshine in Los Angeles and has become a California citizen, spending 20 billion to build a new arena in California.

"Then I will talk to these teams again."

Human sorted himself out and continued to think about what else he could do to help Mo Wen.

"Talk to all the teams that have come. I have one more condition. I just want to focus on these teams - oh, except the Knicks." Mo Wen shook his head and pointed to the scraps of paper over there.

"I don't know which of these companies will agree. Those who can agree will stay and see. If none of them agree, then we can talk again."

Human was confused at first, but soon figured it out.

"What kind of harsh conditions are you going to put forward? You have to put pressure on them through other teams?"

"I want the draft pick." Mo Wen said lightly.

"That's impossible!" Heumann retorted, "This is not something a player can be involved in!"

"Emm, there is something I am serious about, but don't be angry. It is indeed your dereliction of duty that you failed to get a Heat coaching salary for me." Mo Wen spread his hands and looked at Heuman with a serious expression.

As expected, no genius is easy to get along with. Heuman slapped his forehead and continued to persuade him earnestly.

"I have to remind you that in theory, coaches don't have this right either. They only have the right to make suggestions at most. The team managers who are responsible for selecting players have watched a lot of games and analyzed a lot of data to know the value of each player. Everyone in the NBA has their own job, and I believe you know this."

"You have to believe in my judgment of people. My eyes are the ruler!" Mo Wen pointed to his own eyes and said humorously.

"Shit, I'm talking to you seriously!" Human slapped the document in his hand.

"If you get this right, it means you have to take corresponding responsibilities. Do you know what this means?"

"I know," Mo Wen sighed and answered seriously.

"You have no idea! The draft is only four days away, and all the training camps and tryouts are almost over. All you can see are the stats and video footage of the rookies! What can you tell?"

"If this kind of thing gets out, others will think that you are getting cocky after achieving a few achievements. They will think that you are an egomaniac with an over-controlling desire and no beta coefficient. You will also fall out with the management of the new team because of this. And if the players you select are not good, it will also directly affect your prestige!"

"If you have a player you want to partner with, you can say, I can help you get the team to trade you later. This is something you can involve and can be added as a condition, but that is a draft pick, not a lottery game, understand?"

As a future top ten NBA agent, Heuman has a clear understanding of the NBA's rules of the game.

If he dared to convey this kind of "groundbreaking" idea, it would only make others doubt his professional ability.

Mo Wen smiled bitterly and nodded.

It's not like he hadn't thought about the problem that Hughman mentioned. The situation where management would obey whoever they wanted to choose only existed in online novels.

"Manager Zhan" is just Zhan who has great decision-making power in transactions because of his status as the "real local emperor".

Those who were traded were all players who had seen real results on the court, so at least they had reasons and bases.

In reality, those players who recommend rookies all have certain connections involved, not to mention that the final decision is still in the hands of management.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that your request is very extraordinary.

"Then let's just do it this year." Mo Wen took a big step back, "Just treat it as a test of their sincerity. After all, I don't have any other conditions to propose, right?"

It is impossible not to use the advantages you have. It is like your parents have money, but you insist on working hard to earn your first pot of gold by moving bricks with your bare hands. How stupid that would be.

With the current player structure of each team, except for the Bulls who have sufficient potential, the others need reinforcement.

There is no doubt about the potential of the Bulls. Even Lao Ke wanted to rebel against them. However, Kobe was labeled as a Jordan imitator since his debut. He cannot be considered a challenger, so he has no burden. Mo Wen is not the same.

"Can you please not be so willful?" Human still had a bitter face.

"I rarely act on my own will." Mo Wen said firmly.

[But you've done something big by being so willful!] Xiuman noticed the firmness in Mo Wen's tone, "Then can we discuss this?"

"This matter is not negotiable, but things can be negotiated." Mo Wen nodded and gave up his bottom line.

"I have advised you seriously. I hope you won't regret it later." Xiuman shook his head with a tired look, holding the contracts in his hands as if they were heavy. "Don't worry, you will understand why geniuses are geniuses." Mo Wen patted Xiuman's shoulder.

"Fuck genius, fuck squid!"

……

In the end, Human failed to publicize such an outrageous request as Mo Wen instructed.

He did not mention this matter at all to the teams that were screened out, and just had a routine conversation. When he spoke to the six designated teams, he also embellished it, saying that Mo Wen had observed this year's rookies before and had a few players he was optimistic about and wanted to cooperate with, and he wanted to see what the attitudes of the various teams were.

This level alone has already aroused the vigilance of the top management of each team, and they have hinted that Mo Wen may be overreaching. Of course, if Mo Wen is willing to join, first of all, his salary will definitely be maximized, and secondly, there will definitely be some adjustments in the draft strategy, but Mo Wen won't have to worry about it.

The Pacers' Big Bird and the general manager of the Supersonics are the most sincere.

Big Bird said that he could have an in-depth discussion with Mo Wen, wanting to see if Mo Wen was joking or if he really had something to say.

The general manager of the Supersonics, Rick Sander, asked Mo Wen if he wanted a diamond ring - the kind that only has symbolic meaning, and its value will depreciate by half as soon as the purchase invoice is printed out, and it all depends on "attitude" to make people happy, carbon?

……

"That guy Nate is really an idiot." Mo Wen yawned and threw the Eagles' letter of intent into the shredder.

The Hawks claimed to be the first team to prepare for Mo Wen to join. General Manager Knight even said that they wanted to get Mo Wen when they sold Rasheed to the Pistons at almost a bargain price two years ago. However, this time they were the one who most decisively rejected his condition.

"The point guard Felton they selected last year performed well. He's not as good as you, but he's played well. If you don't fill the salary space, the group of talented swingmen in their team will be able to fill it in two years." Heuman implied that they are not stupid and they can't live without you.

Mo Wen didn't say anything, and he handled the remaining contracts together.

"Are you really asking for a diamond ring?" Seeing that the Pacers' copy was also shattered, Heuman's face was full of disbelief.

"Of course not, do you really think I would be so willful about this?" Although the result was not very satisfactory, it might be his best choice at the moment.

He was good at geography in junior high school, and the temperate maritime climate in Seattle was an impressive test point.

Although it is at the same latitude as Erbin, its winter is warmer than my hometown in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

And there is Milicic, who he trained, and Gentleman Lei, who has never been able to prove himself, both of whom are good helpers.

Although it is not as good as the big gills and the big shark, there are still places to explore.

"The Supersonics agreed to you only because Schultz (the owner of the Supersonics) wanted to sign you as soon as possible at all costs, and used it as a favorable factor to raise the price." Heuman said coldly.

"Rick Sander will most likely be replaced after the boss changes, but before that, he will get a good bonus for you."

"I only care about the results." Mo Wen shook his head nonchalantly. "You know, success is something more addictive than anything else. Once they have tasted it, they can never leave it again. So all I want is a chance to prove my ability in the right team."

"I think you are the one who is overwhelmed by success." Human is not a person who spreads negative energy, but this time he couldn't help but complain after holding it in for a long time.

Mo Wen smiled and patted Xiuman's shoulder. "You are right. Maybe it's because I have been successful. I always felt that something was missing. Now I think it was because I lacked some doubt."

……

After signing the letter of intent, Rick Sander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, his desire for Mo Wen was for the purpose of keeping his own position, but now his desire for Mo Wen has turned into greed for the bonus promised by his old employer.

He also felt that Mo Wen's request was nonsense.

But the team's performance is no longer tied to his interests, so he still has to consider himself.

"I will clarify to the public that all of our selections for tomorrow's draft are based on our scouts' reports and the coaching team's analysis, but I can't guarantee that the promises I made before won't backfire." Holding the draftees provided by Mo Wen, Ricksander had a businesslike expression.

"Thank you for your help." Mo Wen spoke very politely. After all, taking someone else's job was one of the few things that could give him a sense of accomplishment.

Ricksander touched his smooth forehead and said, "I'm not questioning your judgment, but I'm still a little confused. We already had a center in stock in order to trade for Dak (Milicic). We were short of a center at that time, and Dak doesn't really like playing center, and I'm sure you know that."

"Why is it that you have been teammates with the best centers on both offense and defense in the past, but there is not a single serious center on this list? The center our team investigated before in the Spanish league is not as good as the top few inside players, but he is still okay. Even if you don't like him, your teammate on the national team, the kid named Yi, is also a good choice. Don't you like him either?"

Mo Wen didn't explain anything, just shook his head.

Apart from Aldridge, who is destined to be the No. 1 or No. 2 pick this year, the only center who can leave an impression on others is Rajon Rondo, the "True C".

As for Abdul-Jabbar, who joined this year's draft early, he seems to be a promising center in terms of static talent and dynamic running and jumping explosiveness. However, like Dazhi, his confrontation ability is still a bit lacking. With his athletic ability, it is best for him to play at the No. 4 position.

When Mo Wen decided to choose Seattle, he considered the issue of Yi Jianlian, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Even the most detailed teaching needs to be put into practice in order to achieve progress.

His finishing ability at the basket is too rough, his shooting is too slow, his three-point shooting is unstable, his ball-handling ability is not good enough, his vision is too poor, and his passing awareness is not enough...

Historically, there have been too many problems that Al-Farouq Aminu has not solved, and the best way to solve these problems is to feed him with ball possession and playing time.

To put it bluntly, it is just to improve the statistics. As long as he can improve the statistics and confidence in a weak team, it will not be a problem for Al-Farouq Aminu to become a starter in a strong team with his characteristics.

As for the injury problem of Yi Jianlian, it can only be left to professional sports and fitness experts. Yi Jianlian's career can last for 20 years, which shows that he is not lacking in endurance (CBA is a slow pace, and the confrontation is not low). If there is enough professional guidance and support, many minor problems can be completely avoided.

As long as he can stay in the NBA, as the defensive environment becomes more and more relaxed, Al-Farouq Aminu's tactical value will only increase.

In his vision, the Supersonics were not suitable for Al-Farouq Aminu's development.

Next year, there are two centers that can be used. As for this year, if we can't get Ade, we might as well give up the center option.

Can looking back at scouting reports really predict a player's potential?
After an inspection by the Sonics scouts, the team planned to use the big man selected with the 7th pick in the first round. Mo Wen looked through his previous work with the Sonics but had no impression of him at all. It was estimated that he was either seriously injured and was completely wasted.

And Marc Gasol, who is in the same Spanish league as him, was evaluated by the Sonics scouts as having questionable explosiveness and endurance and low potential despite his fat body.

……

The 2006 draft was held as scheduled at Madison Square Garden.

Sitting among a group of team managers who were full of calculations, Ricksander, who was holding a folder and pretending to discuss with his subordinates, felt extremely complicated at the moment.

It is impossible to go back on your word. The letter of intent signed previously is not a formal contract. It is more of a moral constraint. We have to do what we have to do.

This year's draft is very different from any other in history.

With Mo Wen's overly dazzling achievements in the past, the market conditions for outside players have become quite optimistic.

JJ Redick, whose selling point is the three-pointer, said he is also good at organizing;
Rondo, who uses his organizational skills as a selling point, said he can score, rebound and assist like Mo Wen;

Randy Foye, who is competing with Roy for the top guard this year, claims that he is good at both three-point shooting and assists.

Roy said nothing.

He is 198cm tall and weighs 98kg. He showed a mature playing style in college. His skin is yellowish-black and he is 1/8 Chinese...

If he says he doesn't look like it, then others have to believe it!
The only thing holding Roy back from being a top-3 pick this year is a pair of menisci that were trimmed in college.

Roy's playing style in college was not pure floor play like Mo Wen's. His technical characteristics of often using change of direction breakthroughs and quick stop mid-range and long-range shots determined that similar injuries might happen to him again in the future.

However, among the draft targets given by Mo Wen, the Sonics' first choice for the No. 7 pick is still Roy.

Even after selecting Roy, the Sonics' outside lineup will become a little too rich.

Rick Sander had thought about it before. If he failed to recruit Mo Wen, he would choose this outside star who was born in Seattle as a replacement.

However, after looking at the team's barrels, the center's section was the shortest, so Roy was not promised.

However, given Roy's current popularity, it seems that it is not their turn.

Mo Wen also came to the scene, accompanying Abdul-Jabbar's parents in the players' family area to support them. Sun Yue and Tang Zhengdong, who were also in the same draft and were predicted to be in the second round, also came along to make an appearance. They didn't have much hope and were just waiting for Abdul-Jabbar to finish the draft and return home together.

Harris had been waiting for them to join the national team training camp. With the World Championships in August, it was not easy for the old coach to let them try out for a month.

Speaking of which, this is Mo Wen's first time to attend a talent show live.

Not surprisingly, his presence also attracted a lot of attention.

Even after being beautified by Heuman, some rumors that Mo Wen was trying to interfere in the draft of his new team were still heard by the outside world.

Fortunately, with the presence of Abdul-Jabbar and Sun Yue, many people feel that Mo Wen’s previous proposal to select players was just to play with his compatriots.

But several teams holding the top ten draft picks were very puzzled, because Mo Wen or Heuman had never mentioned this to them, and when they asked again, they received a clear denial.

Could it be a smokescreen released by some unscrupulous person?
Before handing the envelope to Stern, the general manager of the Raptors, who held the No. 1 pick, tried to find someone to get some information from Mo Wen, but Mo Wen repeatedly emphasized that it was not true and asked not to misunderstand him.

He had no intention of forming a Chinese team when selecting players. At the beginning, he even considered whether to give Tang Zhengdong a contract as a trial, just in time to supplement the depth of the inside bench.

But Tang Zhengdong's fat body clearly shows that he is not fit to run. If he just sits on the bench, he might as well go back and win the CBA MVP.

Stern smiled despite the boos and slowly opened the envelope.

"In the 2006 NBA Draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Toronto Raptors selected Andrea Bargnani from Rome, Italy!"

Mo Wen followed the people around him and clapped politely.

Historical inertia?
The nature of the Raptors management!
The thinking of this management team really cannot be guessed by common sense.

Not the right one, just the expensive one.

With only one left shoe, buying a glove would be a precise reinforcement, but the Raptors management bought another left shoe!

The second pick, when the Hornets' general manager handed over the envelope, Yi Jianlian clenched his fist.

But the result disappointed him again, and the Hornets chose Ade, who performed better in college.

After that, to everyone's surprise, the Bulls took the third pick that the Knicks got by paying the luxury tax and playing badly and actually selected Adam Morrison.

He is the big white guy with projectable skills who is particularly favored by Danzi and whose template is that of Big Bird.

Danzi was stunned when he saw this scene.

I haven’t heard before that his old boss also has high hopes for this kid?

The Bucks general manager, who drew the No. 4 pick, handed the envelope to Stern with confidence.

He has understood the runes, oh no, he has understood Mo Wen.

After today, the answer to the riddle of "giving away the gift" to "the subject" will be revealed, and he will be the only one who got the correct answer!

The so-called "gift" of UAE was originally one of their goals.

If you can catch a big fish, you will make a lot of money. If you can’t catch one… you will still make a small profit.

Looking at Al-Suwaidi who was excitedly walking over and putting on the Bucks hat, Mo Wen suddenly felt a great fear.

Is there really such a thing as destiny?
To be honest, the current environment of the Bucks is much better than when Al-Farouq Aminu was there.

Bodog didn't come, and was replaced by Villanueva, who later became Al-Farouq Aminu's teammate. Reed left, and the Bucks' outside line was left with two small guys, "Mo Buchuan" and TJ Ford who didn't leave.

Both the overall ball possession and the intensity of competition in the interior have been reduced to a lower level.

With Yi Jianlian's current status, he won't be the absolute core, but he will still have plenty of ball possession.

Jordan, who had the No. 5 pick, did not sign Roy. He had already successfully hypnotized himself. In his eyes, there was only "Bird II". He was plotted against by his old club, but he rarely swallowed his anger and paid the tuition. He selected Tyus Thomas for the Bulls, and then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to redeem his dream Adam Morrison.

Bulls management, just wait and see. No matter how many millions you charge me now, I will use my Big Bird II to taunt you for many years in the future!
Seeing that Roy was only one step away from supersonic speed, Mo Wen was so excited that he wanted to open the champagne.

But who would have thought that the Eagles, who had been stockpiling forwards for years, would change their ways and take the lead in selecting Roy.

Mo Wen opened his mouth, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The world line has long been messed up by myself. I can't judge future events simply by experience and memory.

With the 7th pick, Rick Sander calmly handed over the envelope with Rudy Gay's name on it.

In fact, after Gay, Rondo and Lowry are also good players, but with Mo Wen and Ray Allen, there is actually no need for a third ball handler.

There is a third one, and that is also Milicic.

It is impossible to train a point guard without the ball. Rondo was okay, relying on his basketball IQ and highly mature skills to develop in the gap between the three elders of the Celtics, while Lowry had to wait for 10 years before he could bear fruit. During this time, James even moved three times.

If he had had a choice, Mo Wen wouldn’t really want to choose Guy.

A thorn in the flesh, a cancer, a loser, an expert in tearing up teams, there are countless reasons not to choose him.

There is only one reason to choose him, but it makes everyone want to take a gamble, that is, his talent is comparable to that of young James.

Many of Guy's problems stem from his arrogant character. Mo Wen dared to choose him because he felt he could control him. Even if he couldn't, there would be people who would rush to take over after helping him to brush up some data and trade them out. There will always be people willing to gamble on stones that have a little imperial green after being polished.

The Trail Blazers, whose record last season was not as bad as in history, lost badly in the draft. They failed to pick the two unlucky guys in history and could only select Randy Foye, the leftover player from other teams. If they want to make a comeback in the offseason, they can only rely on future trades.

It was not until the 29th pick in the first round that the Supersonics selected Millsap with the "third-hand" draft pick from the Nets.

Millsap is actually the target that Mo Wen wants to get most in this draft besides Roy.

Millsap has the potential for growth, stability, and teamwork. If he is trained well, he can almost be a perfect third-in-command. Even if he is used directly, he can also be a qualified substitute.

The main reason why he was not selected with the No. 7 pick was to avoid waste.

Even though "Mi God" became quite famous later on, before space power forwards became popular, it was still very difficult for a 2-meter-tall inside player to make a name for himself.

Before the draft, Millsap had never appeared on the first-round prediction list.

With the first pick in the second round, Sun Dasheng was unexpectedly selected by the Mavericks.

Harris is still serving as a consultant to the Mavericks. It was he who suggested the Mavericks to select Sun Yue. In the national team, Sun Yue is one of the few people who can match up with Mo Wen. Seeing that the Mavericks were beaten by Mo Wen by 62 points, the old man felt a little bit reluctant.

With Sun Yue around, let’s not talk about how he can restrict Mo Wen, but at least next time Mo Wen gets excited again, he won’t kill him like this.

This is the wisdom he learned in China - be cautious when using the right weapon.

Under Mo Wen's remote command, Rick Sander selected another heavyweight small forward, Craig Smith.

A power forward who is even stronger than Millsap.

But in the dungeon competition, Mo Wen had some impression of him. He was also a temperamental man whose figure was completely out of shape in the later stage of his career.

Before he was weighed down by his weight, his strength and speed were excellent among substitutes, making him a high-quality asset with a time bomb.

Mo Wen did not pick up all the "lost pearls" of this draft, such as PJ Tucker and "A Mountain in Puerto Rico".

The main reason for giving up on them is due to considerations of combat effectiveness and lineup compatibility.

Tucker has not yet gone to Europe for further studies, and his Ren and Du meridians are still being sealed and settled.

A heavy point guard like Barea, who has a huge height disadvantage, little strength advantage, poor shooting and unstable layup, only looks good next to the "baseless offense". If he is put in the Supersonics who will focus on offense next season, there will be no role for him at all.

If he could really meet the Little Emperor in the finals, he would personally take action to give James some dignity.

Seeing that the goal was basically achieved, Mo Wen gave Ricksander a look of approval and turned to chat with others.

The Sonics had done what they had promised, and all he had to do was to let Heumann spread the news that he was taken, so as to avoid affecting other teams' subsequent signings and prevent those delusional people from constantly disturbing him.

If a team blames Mo Wen for missing out on preparations for him and delaying the team's reinforcement because of his absence, Mo Wen can do nothing about it.

He doesn't have the ability to clone himself among more than a dozen teams, so he should be aware before participating in the bidding that this is a game destined to have only one winner.

After finishing up the talent show, Mo Wen originally planned to go back home and start looking for a house to move into.

The eldest princess, who had not been seen for a long time, secretly intercepted it for him again.

"Why did you avoid me in Miami before?"

"Don't make a fuss. Our friendship is so pure and clear. Why should I hide from you?" Mo Wen was pushed onto the bed. After confirming that the doors and windows were closed, he reached out and untied the collar of the beautiful woman, which felt restrictive. "There are so many hotels in New York. Don't you know why I went all the way to stay at your Jianguo Hotel?"

"Then I invited you to our family's cocktail party, why did you pretend not to see it?" The eldest princess let her hair down, kicked off her high heels, and sat on Mo Wen, and began to help Mo Wen take off his armor.

"I didn't hear your tipsy dad say there was any cocktail party. If I really went there, I'm afraid I would be the only guest, right?"

"So what?" The eldest princess licked her lips, very seductively.

tear-

Mo Wen tore open the princess's not-so-tough tank dust cover casually - it seems that the poor quality of luxury goods is not all a disadvantage.

"We play together to enjoy excitement, not to excite others. Enjoyment is enjoyment, life is life. It's good for everyone to keep the distinction."

Snapped--

Mo Wen gently pumped the Royal's top-level rear shock absorber.

"Oh, hypocritical man."

Feeling the temperature of each other's skin, the eldest princess gathered her hair with one hand and slapped away the ultimate weapon of the human extinction plan with the other.

"Be safe today, and don't try to make me drink your filth again."

"Hehe, let's talk about it when you can still stay awake in two hours."
