In the Miami Heat office, the deputy general manager looked very nervous and asked Pat Riley, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Pat Riley did not open his eyes, but his tone was very firm: "OK."
"But..." the deputy general manager said worriedly: "Is it too risky for us to do this? He is just a nobody who has never proven himself."
"A bird will fly in the wrong direction, but a group of birds will never fly in the wrong direction. I believe in Derrick Rose's vision, I believe in Michael Jordan's vision, and I believe in my own vision." Pat Riley slowly opened his eyes and stood up.
Looking at the dimly lit street scene outside the window, he said with great determination: "Send a message to the Bucks and say that we are willing to trade Ricky Davis plus a second-round pick in the next two years for their first-round pick."
"Boss, I still have to say, this is too risky. We already have Haslem, Marion and the second pick, and we no longer need a pocket inside man." The deputy general manager tried hard to convince Pat.
Riley vetoed the deal.
"But none of these people have the ability to shoot three-pointers, let alone the power to defend big centers." Pat Riley was very decisive. He had already made up his mind and could not change it: "Hurry up and submit the transaction. Don't miss anything."
.”
Seeing that Pat Riley was so determined, the deputy general manager had no choice but to bite the bullet and apply for the deal.
Pat Riley was busy at this end, and Michael Jordan at the other end was also rubbing his hands excitedly, and kept saying to the staff around him: "As long as Yang falls to the 21st pick, we will select him immediately.
If someone intercepts him, replace him at all costs, remember, we lynx have nothing that is not for sale."
Michael Jordan is so fanatical that the staff have a nervous breakdown. Most of them think that Michael Jordan is confused again. They no longer believe in Michael's vision. Since 2005, he has never chosen a correct one.
As a rookie, Okafor is already at his peak. Therefore, they are not optimistic about Yang Mo at all.
"The Miami Heat select forward Michael Beasley from Kansas State!"
As Stern announced the ownership of the second pick, there was a burst of applause. For everyone, this was not a suspenseful choice. If either Beasley or Rose was selected with the first pick, the second pick
You will definitely choose the remaining one, there is no doubt about it.
However, Yang Mo felt a little disappointed. He had also dreamed of being selected by Miami with the No. 2 pick, but if he thought about it seriously, it was still not realistic enough.
Beasley wore a Heat hat on the stage and declared with a smile that he was ready to become a great player. Such nonsense came out of his mouth, and Yang Mo was not surprised at all. Everyone was surprised.
Not surprising, even more than 80% of people agree with this, because this kid's statistics in college are so eye-catching, averaging nearly 26 points and 13 rebounds per game, which is the level of many NBA Hall of Fame players.
Something I didn't even do in college.
However, the NBA is not the NCAA, and everything is still full of variables.
Next, with the third pick, the Timberwolves selected O.J. Mayo, which was also something without much suspense.
Next, the Seattle SuperSonics, who were about to move, chose Westbrook. Westbrook put on his hat very handsomely. After hugging his relatives and friends, he came over to give Yang Mo a high-five, not forgetting to talk to Yang Mo'er.
While muttering: "Yang, we said we would give you a surprise."
As he said that, he trotted all the way onto the stage.
Yang Mo suddenly felt particularly touched. Just as Lu Xueman said, it is really amazing to be able to cheer for your friends at the expense of your own interests.
Westbrook was giggling on the stage, starting from thanking his elementary school coach, all the way to his college coach and teammates. Finally, he finally changed the subject and pointed at Yang Mo and said: "Hey, all NBA managers, then
This is my brother, Yang from China. Although he is not tall, his strength is enough to kick many people's butts. I saw with my own eyes that he beat many big men to the ground. I hope a team can choose him.
He will definitely surprise everyone. I’m sure.”
After saying that, he also made a V sign to Yang Mo, then bowed and left the stage.
Two popular rookies in a row praised Yang Mo. At that moment, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Yang Mo. They wanted to see who could have such great charm and let two talented point guards canvass for him.
.
Yang Mo looked a little embarrassed as everyone looked at him. He wanted to lower his head, but Lu Xueman beside him reminded him in a low voice: "Look up, you are the protagonist now."
After being reminded by Lu Xueman, Yang Mo immediately puffed up his chest and faced everyone's gaze with a decent smile.
David Stern's attention was also attracted. He had read Yang Mo's information. He had originally thought about whether the NBA wanted to create another Chinese signature star, but Yang Mo's data was too inconspicuous.
I didn't take it seriously. But I didn't expect that Yang Mo would make such a big move now. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times and thought to himself: Does this guy really have an amazing talent?
David Stern, the league's leader, has noticed this, and fans around the world have joined in the active discussion. Everyone is extremely curious about the sudden emergence of Yang Mo, because he is so mysterious.
In China, there is even more quarrel, and everyone is wondering when China had this figure.
After the monkeys and others got the news, they immediately called each other, as excited as if they had won the lottery. They did not expect that their good brothers who had been fighting alongside them for four years would actually go to the draft, and suddenly make such a big name.
He is famous, and even the top draft pick in the NBA advertises for him.
Damn it, I must give Brother Mo a good beating when he comes back. Also, I must ask him to get me a few Ross' autographs.
Monkey and others thought happily in their hearts that they really didn't dare to think that Yang Mo would be selected at this time. For them, it was too far-fetched. For them, the NBA was a battlefield where the gods fought, too far out of reach.
.So, they feel that wearing the same pair of pants with their good brother is definitely out of the question, but even so, they are very happy. At least one of their brothers is connected with the NBA, which is enough for them to brag about their awesomeness for a lifetime. When they go out to play in the future,
Do you know that Yang Mo who participated in the draft? That's my brother.' Once these words came out, wouldn't he be so brilliant?
Next, the Grizzlies selected Kevin Love, and immediately started a trade with the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves gave him a small sum.
The Knicks chose Gallinani. I don’t know if it’s because D’Antoni has a good relationship with his father. Anyway, this is the most surprising upset so far tonight.
Then, the Clippers selected Eric Gordon with the seventh pick. After thanking his relatives and friends on the stage, Gordon once again exposed Yang Mo: "Ross and Westbrook just said that Yang is a good person."
Player, I won’t repeat it. I hope my team can select him, and I look forward to the days of playing alongside him.”
Eric Gordon's words made the scene agitated again, but not as good as the previous two times. After all, this was the third time tonight, and it was more or less numb.
At the same time, news came from the Miami Heat office that made Pat Riley excited: The Bucks have agreed to trade with the Heat, but only if Ricky Davis’ contract must be signed and exchanged. Pat Riley
Without a moment's hesitation, he nodded directly in agreement.
Soon, Stern at the draft received the envelope with the eighth pick. When he opened the envelope, he was obviously stunned for four or five seconds, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but glance at Yang Mo.
Immediately, he chanted loudly: "In the 2008 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected a forward from China, Yang Mo!"
As soon as Stern said this, the entire scene went crazy. Everyone was screaming in disbelief. At the same time, fans around the world who were paying attention to the draft also went crazy. Yang Mo's name had been mentioned three times before. They were very excited.
I was surprised, but I never expected that a little-known kid like Yang Mo would be selected with the eighth overall pick. Is Milwaukee crazy? Didn't they suffer enough from Yi Jianlian last year?
Compared to the crazy fans, even more crazy is Michael Jordan in the Bobcats office.
"F**K!" Michael Jordan roared, picked up a desktop computer next to him and smashed it to the floor, causing sparks to fly and frightening the staff in the office.
"Damn Milwaukee people, they must be trying to rob me, someone must have leaked the news, damn spies!" Michael Jordan cursed crazily.
After cursing for about three or four minutes, Michael Jordan slumped on the sofa in despair and said feebly: "Tell the people of Milwaukee that we are willing to trade Raymond Felton for Young."
"It's too late, sir, Milwaukee has reached a deal with the Miami Heat." the staff member whispered.
"What?" Michael Jordan roared, walked over there and saw the transaction information. He immediately cursed violently: "Damn old fox, he played so hard... F**K!",
