Chapter 57 Draft Conference
Post-game press conference.
Reporter: "Wang, how do you feel about winning the NCAA championship with a complete victory?".
Wang Hao: "Unfortunately, I have left an unbreakable record for future junior students. I'm sorry."
Reporter: "Will you participate in this year's draft?".
Wang Hao: "Of course, the tyrant is about to conquer the NBA.".
Reporter: "Which team do you want to play for?".
Wang Hao: "Do I have a choice? I don't choose the team. It's the same everywhere."
Reporter: "The outside world has always said that you are one of the favorites to be the No. 1 pick. Do you agree with this?".
Wang Hao: "Of course I don't agree." Looking at the reporters' expressions of disbelief, Wang Hao continued: "I am the number one pick, why am I one of them? Isn't it possible that the other top picks have not been defeated by me?
?”.
The reporters were helpless for a while; "Can we have a good chat today? You won't leave any way for others to survive. It's hard for us to continue the conversation if you are so direct."
Wang Hao: "Okay, let me tell you directly, I will participate in this year's draft, and then I will submit a draft application. Also, I am Chinese, not Chinese-American. Let's finish here today. Let's draft.
See.".
The NCAA ended its entire schedule in April, and the NBA playoffs have just begun. Unfortunately, the Lakers entered the playoffs, and Wang Hao's wish to travel with Kobe's ticket was dashed. The worse news is that the Raptors drew
After winning the No. 1 pick, the Lakers are in contact with the Raptors. Fortunately, O'Mei is on summer vacation. Wang Hao is not idle yet.
The Lakers, who originally thought they would be swept by the Suns, had to fight the Suns for 7 games before they unfortunately lost. As a result, Wang Hao's trip did not go through. Instead, Huang Jinxiang, who had signed an agent contract with Wang Hao, brought Wang Hao his first
Endorsement. An endorsement for Mercedes-Benz, worth US$4 million over two years. Three cars were also provided as transportation.
Wang Hao was frightened by the high taxes in the United States. He could only get half of the two million US dollars a year. That was no good. The United States could not let the United States take advantage of this advantage.
The smart Wang Hao and Huang Jinxiang joined forces and registered an economic company in China, and the contract with Mercedes-Benz was also completed by Mercedes-Benz China. This was a reasonable tax avoidance. More than half of the US$2 million endorsement fee was left.
As the draft approaches, the Lakers and Raptors have to step up their efforts to trade the No. 1 pick.
In the end, the helpless Lakers took out Luke Walton, who averaged 10 points per game in the playoffs, Parker, Chris Mihm, and second-in-command Odom, and successfully obtained the No. 1 pick from the Raptors.
With a bunch of garbage contracts. If Wang Hao can't play well, the Lakers will cry to death.
It can be said that the Lakers' starting lineup has been split in half. In exchange for Alvin Williams, who averages 1 point per game and has an annual salary of 6.3 million, Aaron Williams, who averages 1.9 points per game and has an annual salary of 4.3 million, and Aaron Williams, who averages 16.8 points per game.
Maurice Peterson, who has an annual salary of 4.5 million, is obviously starting to sell out this year. In addition, there are two garbage contracts, the No. 1 pick, and a second-round draft pick.
Although the Lakers paid a huge price, they believed they had made a profit. As soon as the deal was concluded, a photo of Wang Hao wearing the Lakers' No. 0 jersey was posted in the most conspicuous position on the official website, with the text "Welcome the tyrant to the Lakers."
.
This news caused an uproar across the United States. However, when the chips paid by the Lakers were known, the wind turned towards the Raptors, praising the astuteness of the Raptors management.
In addition to getting back two draft picks, the Lakers only have Morris Peterson who is worth watching, but you know that the contract year will explode. (For details, please refer to Chandler Sens)
2006 draft.
Wang Hao, who was determined to be the top pick, was invited to the Little Green Room.
Wang Hao met many acquaintances in the little green house. Wang Hao naturally hung out with Roy, Aldridge and others who were relatively friendly.
As for JJ Redick Tyrus Thomas? "People who are sorry do not deserve to be friends with tyrants."
Soon the draft began. David Stern came on stage as usual and received boos from the audience. Finally the long speech ended and the draft got down to business.
"Next, I announce that the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the first overall pick, have selected Chinese small forward Wang Hao from the Bruins." There is not even a routine pause to appetize. It seems that the Lakers' confidentiality measures are really bad.
How is it?
"Congratulations, King." "Congratulations." Except for JJ Redick and others, everyone in the small green room, whether they knew him or not, sent their blessings. However, one of the handsome white guys obviously did not give his blessings naturally. Wang Hao and Ou in turn sent their blessings.
Sister, Kobe, and Yao Ming, who came to watch, hugged each other and walked onto the podium.
The staff very wisely handed over a microphone.
"I'm very happy to be selected by the Lakers. My home is in Los Angeles. It feels great to be able to play for my hometown. I also want to thank the NBA for providing us with a bigger stage to better show our talents.
Opportunity, I will definitely...(omit some words here)"."Thank you" in the future.
Hearing Wang Hao's words, Stern was elated. "After all, children who grew up under the red flag have high ideological consciousness. Look at those whose brains are full of muscles. They only want to make money when they go on stage and cry. It's really vulgar."
"By the way, I think the Blazers management should thank me." Wang Hao, who was about to step down, suddenly added.
???..."What do you mean? Is this the beginning of the battle?" Stern was not calm anymore.
"What does this Chinese guy mean?" The Blazers management and fans were even more uneasy.
Wang Hao, who returned to the court, specifically explained the meaning of this sentence to Kobe and others.
Hahahaha... Kobe laughed unbridled off the court.
Even Yao Ming, who has high emotional intelligence, suppressed his face and turned red.
There is no suspense in the next draft. The Bulls selected Aldridge with the second pick and the Trail Blazers, who selected Tyrus Thomas with the fourth pick, swapped teams. Adam Morris was still selected by the Bobcats with the third pick, and Roy also
He was also selected by the Timberwolves with the sixth pick. Gay was also selected by the Rockets with the eighth pick. In his previous life, there was some tragedy in the No. 1 pick Bargnani, who was selected by the Warriors at the ninth pick, leaving Patriot O'Bryant, who was originally selected by the Warriors.
It was so crowded that I didn’t know where to go. The Lakers used their first round to select Wang Hao’s college teammate Jordan Farmar.
In the second round, the Lakers selected P.J. Tucker with the 35th overall pick acquired from the Raptors.
Used his 51st overall pick and some cash to trade with the Timberwolves to select Paul Millsap with the 36th overall pick.
Of course, these two people were selected by Wang Hao through Kobe's words, and they were only two second-round picks. Kobe didn't really care, "If my little brother wants to find two little brothers, he can just find them."
Not surprisingly, in the new year's Lakers lineup, except for Kobe and Wang Hao who will be able to secure their starting positions, the rest will compete for positions. Even except for Kobe, the Lakers will have four players with rookie contracts in the starting lineup. But all this has to wait.
We won’t know until the season starts.
"Boy, if you can't fight without the Lakers taking action, I'll kill you myself."
"Okay, okay. Waiting for big brother to help you win the championship."
Chapter completed!
