Although Duffy has a reliable information network and is very smart, he is not much different from Tang Shuai's age, so he will inevitably be indignant.

Tang Shuai shook his head and said, "The alliance has always been a business alliance, I can tell this from the Lance deal."

"It doesn't matter. Although the 76ers are a weak team, they are just right for you to show off. I believe that after a season, you can grow into a real superstar." Duffy said comfortably.

Tang Shuai nodded. If a player wants to grow from an ordinary star to a superstar, he does need a single core to become a boss. Not to mention the distance, just take this playoffs as an example. The help he has brought him is definitely more than the previous seventy or eighty regular season games.

"Friends, our live broadcast is about to begin. We can see from the picture that all the players from this year's Green House have entered the field one after another. The staff on the scene are ready and will soon enter the 2016 draft." At this moment, Ke Fan's slightly excited explanation came from the TV.

After all, rumors are just rumors. No matter how big the information network Duffy has, it is impossible for him to know the news the moment the managers make a decision. When the talent show is really about to begin, the live broadcast will definitely come faster than the rumors.

"Let's watch the live broadcast." Duffy put down his beloved tablet and looked up and said.

Tang Shuai nodded, then looked at the live broadcast screen in front of him.

With the previous news sources as a base, he maintained an extra level of focus from the beginning of the draft. It is no exaggeration to say that all the top five teams are negotiating with the Clippers. Any broadcast may determine whether he will continue to stay in the Clippers or be traded to which team.

"Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to Brooklyn, New York..."

After a video introduced by a rookie, Xiao Hua, the league's active president, walked out of the background and started reading with the lines.

"I will recite such a monologue at the opening of the year. Xiao Hua is young after all, and when I read it, it is more powerful than the previous President Stern." The voice of Ke Fan's commentator came from the TV.

"Well, but I still think Stern sounds nice. I guess it has something to do with listening too much." ****'s voice also came.

Tang Shuai took a deep breath to stabilize his nervous mood.

According to Duffy, the 76ers are likely to trade with the Clippers at the beginning.

Speaking of which, because of Iverson, the 76ers are still very popular in China. If he really goes there, he can only regard it as what Duffy said, just as an opportunity to become a superstar.

After reading that long opening remark, Xiao Hua continued to introduce the team he chose in the first pick, turned around and returned to the backstage.

Each team has five minutes to choose who.

At this time, a 76-man team logo appeared on the scroll screen behind the host stage.

Seeing the rolling team logo, Duffy and Tang Shuai looked at each other.

The deal did not happen. If a deal was reached, the president would have reported it before turning around. If the rolling team bid is still the 76ers, it means that the 76ers have not reached a deal with the Clippers.

"A good start." Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.

The TV screen quickly switched back to Tencent's studio, and Ke Fan and **** began to discuss the number one candidate.

"QQ, I really want to choose you." Guo Ailun said jokingly.

Zhou Qi was still nervous at this time. After smiling, he then looked at the TV again.

Five minutes were said to be long or short. When Xiao Hua came out of the backstage again, it immediately caused a burst of cheers.

Tang Shuai also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when he participated in the draft last year, fortunately, Su Mei was with him, otherwise he really wouldn't know how nervous he would be.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA draft in 2016, the Philadelphia 76ers chose..."

After reading this, I paused as usual.

The team members were watching TV with eager eyes.

"Ben Simmons, a freshman from Louisiana State University, 19 years old." Xiao Hua followed up with the title of the No. 1 pick.

The moment Xiao Hua finished reading his name, the cameraman's camera shot was quickly given to Simonsi. Simmons was stunned for a while before he stood up from his seat. His face didn't seem to look very good, because he was determined to play for the Lakers, so he had never even tried out for the 76ers. Even the outside world generally believed that Ingram's No. 1 pick was a foregone conclusion, but the 76ers finally chose him.

"Hey, Director Ma, it seems that your prediction is not accurate." Ke Fan's teasing voice came out.

"I can't blame me for this. I just went to Baidu specifically. These two people are both 2.06 meters tall, so anyone can be elected." **** said without any moral integrity.

"Haha." Ke Fan was amused by **** and said, "But seriously, the 76ers' choice principle has always been to choose famous. It seems that the new Brian Corangelo is also continuing this style."

After hugging Simmons and his relatives and friends one by one, he took the hat handed over by the staff and walked up the stage.

A touching speech, when he couldn't help but burst into tears, Simmons couldn't help but burst into tears. After the speech was finished, he also won a burst of applause and cheer from the audience.

Although he is unwilling to go to the 76ers, Simmons' emotional intelligence seems to be pretty good.

The team members also maintained a rare quiet at this time, and their eyes were unconsciously showing an envious look.

After taking a photo together, Xiao Hua turned around and entered the backstage.

After coming out of the backstage, Xiao Hua did not read it immediately like before. Instead, he paused for a moment and said, "A deal has been reached."

As soon as this sentence came out, Tang Shuai and Duffy turned their heads and looked at each other. Duffy then took out the tablet, looked at it for a while and shook his head. There was no rumors coming out.

"The Los Angeles Lakers made a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers and gave away the No. 2 draft pick, Louis Williams and Julius Randle, and the deal won the Clippers' Shuai and Cory Brewer." Xiao Hua then read the content of the deal.

After this transaction for a year, the stadium was in an uproar, and the Chinese team members who watched the live broadcast were also stunned.

They were originally preparing for Zhou Qi's draft, but they never expected that what they would wait for was Tang Shuai's trading information first.

Others turned their heads unconsciously to look at Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai was staring at the live TV screen at this time. He was mentally prepared for all the teams Duffy and he said before, but it was the Lakers who were not mentioned, which eventually became a deal with the Clippers.

"Mickey (referring to Kupchek) is really willing to spend a lot of money. Even Randall gave it away. Really..." Duffy was shocked in his practice and didn't know what to say.

It seems that what Duffy expected was right. After Tang Shuai helped the Clippers build a few books, he turned around and was swept out as a bargaining chip.

For the Clippers, Simmons and Ingram have super talent no matter which one they are. The Clippers will be the absolute winner as long as they choose one of them. From the perspective of value, trading the second pick will obviously get more what they want.

"In the second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2016, the Los Angeles Clippers chose Brandon Ingram, a small forward from the Blue Devils of Duke University, and is 18 years old this year." Xiao Hua then read the player chosen by the Clippers.

At this time, Tang Shuai came back from shock and came to his senses, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After a bitter smile, his hands couldn't help clenching their fists.

Business is indeed just business. The NBA alliance has always been cold. The so-called lack of trading is just that the other party’s chips have not met their psychological expectations.

"Dave Wall used to be a video analyst for the Lakers. Kupcheck had helped him a lot at that time. It seems that there is some personal relationship here, just like Paul Gasol robbed the Lakers from the Grizzlies." Duffy said from the side.

In fact, the Timberwolves and the 76ers have a lot of bargaining chips, and the Lakers and the Clippers are in the same city team, and the competition is very strong. Under normal circumstances, the Clippers cannot trade Tang Shuai, but the bargaining chips given by the Lakers are also irresistible.

Louis Williams has proved himself to be a qualified sixth man in any team he has been on. After mentioning Booker, his joining is definitely a good addition to the Clippers' bench and also gave a super potential insider. The chips are so rich that they will regret it if they refuse.

Finally, the relationship between Duffy mentioned is added, which seems to be natural.

At this moment, Tang Shuai's cell phone in his pocket shook. He picked it up and saw that it was head coach Kassel who called him.

After he cast apologetic look at Gong Luming, he then left the room.

"Coach." Tang Shuai said as soon as the phone was connected.

"Don, sorry, I can't convince Dave. Mr. Ballmer finally agreed to the plan. I..." Cassel sighed helplessly from the other end of the phone.

"Sam, this is not something we can change. You are the coach and I am the player. We can't control the management's decision." Tang Shuai said with a wry smile.

"Anyway, play well. No matter where you are, you are my most proud disciple." Kassel comforted.

"Well, I can." After Tang Shuai said that, the two of them chatted for a few more times, and he then died.

Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly. He was about to put his phone back into his pocket, but the phone was shaken again.

He took it out and saw the text message from Billups.

"Don, Sam and I have tried our best. I'm so disappointed with the management like this. I've been preparing to quit my position as assistant coach for a while. Being a coach is just an experience for me. Play hard and you will become the top star in the league."

The text message is not long, but you can feel a deep dissatisfaction between the lines.

Billups resigned because of him?

Thinking of Bilupsto's first entry into the team, and now he resigned from his position as head coach because of him, he felt a little uncomfortable. He picked up the phone and called back, but was prompted that the other party had turned off.

He dialed it again or turned it off, but finally he could only shake his head helplessly, pick up his phone and go back to the room.
