NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 65 Sweet and sour!
Next.

The order has not changed.

The Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics, and Sacramento Kings are all more inclined to choose guards, so they naturally don't consider Aaron Gordon as an insider.

On the contrary, the Lakers still firmly chose Randall.

Ok……

Another jerk.

But soft to soft, the two have different grades. Even if Randall is as soft as bread crumbs, he is still a grade higher than Gordon. There is nothing wrong with this choice.

Aaron Gordon wasn't selected until the ninth overall pick.

Xue Liancheng could clearly see that this guy's face was blue, but he still had to force a smile, which looked a bit weird.

The next draft pick has not changed, until the No.13 pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves still chose Zach LaVine.

Seeing this, Xue Liancheng felt even heavier.

Sure enough, I still chose talent.

Originally UCLA was a sweet sixteen team, but now he has sniped it, and can't even make it to the top 32.

result.

Zach LaVine was not affected at all, and was still selected at the No.13 pick. It can be seen that talent is still the first choice!

I just don't know if Gary Harris will be abandoned by his favorite team because of a fight with his teammates?
Xue Liancheng upheld the mentality of watching a good show, watching the jokes on the stage in Bala.

Soon, the No.19 pick came.

For the Bulls' pick, they selected Rodney Hood.

Ah……

Knew it!
Affected by the fight with his teammates, Gary Harris sank!

Hood has benefited instead, climbing from the original No.20 fifth overall pick to this position.

Xue Liancheng subconsciously glanced at Gary Harris who was not far in front of him.

At this time, Harris' face was sinking, and his face was full of bitterness and hatred, as if others owed him tens of millions.

It is estimated that there is already regret in my heart.

According to the prediction before the fight, Gary Harris should be picked around the [-]th pick in the first round, and now he is the [-]th pick, and his name has not been called yet.

He must have thought that this was influenced by the fight.

In fact, only Xue Liancheng knew that Gary Harris was originally selected at this pick.

such a pity!
Impulsivity is the devil!
Little friend, I told you not to be impulsive, but you insisted on not listening, it’s all right now, you’ve been buried...

but.

The transaction takes place immediately.

The Nuggets sent No. 11 pick shooting guard Doug McDermott + Anthony Randolph to the Bulls in exchange for this year's No. 16 pick center Jusuf Nurkic + Hood who was just selected.

Thereafter.

The draft picks are messed up.

Jordan Adams also lost his original No.20 second position.

It can be seen that there is no talent, it is really unpopular.

With the No.20 fourth pick, the Hornets still cut off Shabazz Napier.

This is the MOP of the tournament that I publicly praised by James.

According to the original situation where the Heat were crushed by the Spurs in the finals, Riley really wanted to please me by getting Napier.

but.

This time the Heat didn't stick their heads out and let the Hornets cut that knife.

Xue Liancheng was a little puzzled.

Could it be that what I, the great Zhan Huang, didn't work well?
The Heat were indifferent, which was really unexpected.

Kyle Anderson also lost his [-]th pick in the first round.

Once again, the importance of talent is verified.

This is the end.

The first round is all over.

Xue Liancheng also put away his mentality of watching the theater, and raised his mind.

It's his turn for the next second-round pick.

Uh……

If you want to use the word "should" before "should", you have to put a big question mark.

After all, even at this moment, he has no idea.

Anyway, no team has sent a signal that they want to draft him.

And this... is actually the most heart-wrenching signal.

No team contacted him, which means that he may lose the draft at any time.

……

……

Backstage.

Pacers president Larry Bird, speaking with general manager Pritchard and head coach Frank Vogel.

"Xue's predicted pick is 44th in the second round. We have to make some preparations now to avoid being preempted by others." Byrd straightened his aquiline nose, and his eyes became sharper.

"Larry, is that why you are so optimistic about this young man?"

Pritchard didn't understand. "I've read his physical test report. It's very average. I'm afraid it's hard to survive in the NBA."

"Ask Frank, is he worthy of our selection?" Bird did not answer, but looked at the head coach Vogel.

"He is very smart and has a very high golf quotient. Although his physical talent is not good, he should be able to help the team and make some contributions." Vogel replied.

"This..." Pritchard hesitated.

"Furthermore, he is from China and from the Indiana Mountains. Even if he really can't play, we still have reasons to choose him." Bird added.

"But we only have the 57th pick. If we want to pick him, we have to trade up." Pritchard looked embarrassed.

"It's just a second-round pick, don't be reluctant..." Byrd waved his hand and said grandly.

"OK then."

Pritchard saw that Byrd was so persistent, and he couldn't save the president's face, so he accepted, "Then what do you mean, at what position should he be intercepted?"

"He predicted the 44th pick, so let's use the 40th pick." Bird replied.

"Let me see... the 40th pick is the pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and I will contact David Kahn." Pritchard took out his phone and looked at it, and said.

"Go!" Bird's face was paralyzed, and his expression did not change from the beginning to the end.

……

……

And not far away.

Someone also had Xue Liancheng's idea.

And that person is Mo Gou, the general manager of the Rockets who is good at actuarial calculations.

"Xue Liancheng's predicted pick is 44. If someone wants to cut Hu, it will definitely be between 38-40. We will go ahead and take him with the 35th or 36th pick."

Mo Gou rolled his eyes and turned to look at Kevin McHale, "Who holds the 35-36 pick?"

"Xue Liancheng is slow and procrastinating, and his defense is not good. Do we have to choose him?" Haier Refrigerator asked doubtfully.

The team already has Harden, the absolute backcourt core, and Jeremy Lin, who is as thin as paper. The defense of the two is not very good. How about Xue Liancheng, who has an equally bad defense?
Do you have to choose a rookie with such poor physical talent?
He doesn't understand.

I don't understand very much.

"We have to find a qualified substitute for Harden. His three-pointers are very good and fit our team very well."

Mo Gou was extremely persistent, paused, and said in a deep voice, "If necessary, Jeremy Lin can be given up."

Haier Refrigerator was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood.

When they signed Jeremy Lin back then, apart from being affected by Hurricane Linsanity and wanting to scratch the lottery, there was another point, that is, pointing to him to drive the Chinese market, but the result failed to meet expectations.

Listening to what Mo said now, it seemed that he wanted to replace this candidate with Xue Liancheng.

Think about it too.

Before Yao Ming retired, he created unprecedented value for the Rockets. Once Yao Ming retired, the Rockets lost a lot.

It is also reasonable for Mo to want to rebuild the grand occasion of the Chinese home team.

……

……

Xue Liancheng didn't know that he had become a favorite.

He is still shivering and trembling, not knowing when his report card will be released.

Hanging like this is really worrying.
