Sign in from meeting Kobe

Chapter 223 The Complete Spurs Have Returned
When Stern announced that the Spurs won the No. 97 pick in the [-] draft, Su Hu looked at the general manager of the Celtics, Carl, who was already angry and his face was green with a smile.

In the 97 draft, there were many talents, but if it is the choice of the No. [-] pick, there will always be only one.

When the lottery ended, Su Hu had fulfilled his due task, allowing the Spurs to win the No. [-] lottery even though the probability was lower than usual.

To be honest, in Su Hu's heart, if there is no systematic bonus, Su Hu's heart is somewhat uneasy.

If the Spurs fail to win the No. [-] pick under their own performance, then the Spurs may not necessarily be what they will become in the future.

After finishing the recording of the lottery meeting, Su Hu came to the outside of the arena, only to see Popovich, who was already smiling, patted Su Hu on the shoulder vigorously without saying a word.

"Haha, boy, you did it, you did what you said! You're an amazing guy, you're a wizard, haha!"

The No. [-] pick is simply a gift from God for a team.

And everyone who participated in the lottery meeting came to congratulate Popovich and Su Hu after the end.

"Hey, General Manager Bobo, the luck of your team member is simply too good. With such a low probability, how could it be possible to get the No. [-] pick? My God, does the Spurs seem to be making history again?"

"Bobo, haha, are you thinking again now, how are you going to use Tim and David? This is an era when insiders have the right to speak. You have two top insiders all at once, oh my god, this It's unbelievable!"

"Hey, Bobo, you didn't even see Carl's expression just now, watching the cooked duck fly, I bet it must feel great."

I saw that the general managers of these teams came to express their thoughts to Popovich one after another, some congratulated, some praised Su Hu, and of course some satirized the Celtics.

For the Celtics, this should mean that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment in the legend, right?
While everyone was laughing and chatting, I saw Karl from the Celtics walking over with a serious but gloomy expression.

I saw that Carl was still holding his mobile phone in his hand, obviously he should have just talked to someone.

"Hey, Greg, have a few words, can we chat?"

Karl also doesn't seem to like communicating with Popovich, but now the Spurs are holding the No. 1 pick, so Karl has to bite the bullet and come to him.

Popovich did not express his opinion directly, but instead looked at Su Hu and said with a smile,

"Su, you brought this good luck. He wants to talk. Of course I need to ask for your opinion. Do you think I need to talk to this guy?"

Obviously, Popovich doesn't want to spare Karl so easily, it's better to have to sarcasm him.

Su Hu understood what Popovich was thinking, shrugged and smiled,
"Always listen to what people have to say. After all, we are a very polite and humble team, don't you think, Manager Pop?"

Popovich laughed, nodded repeatedly, and then patted Su Hu on the shoulder vigorously,

"Guys, this is our style in San Antonio, yes, do as you please!"

Popovich and Su Hu looked at each other and smiled, then turned their heads, looked at Carl, whose face was even uglier, and indicated a place with a hey smile,
"Let's go, Manager Carl, let's go to the other side to talk."

Then, Popovich and Karl came to a corner of the lottery scene at that time.

"Let's talk about something quickly, I don't think we seem to have any common topics?" After the environment quieted down, Popovich looked up and down Carl with great interest.

"Yes, there was no topic at first. To be honest, I don't like to chat with you, but because you have the No. 1 pick, our topic has come."

Carl's expression was very embarrassing, but he still expressed his thoughts.

"Well, it's quite unexpected for you to talk like this. To be honest, if you can keep talking like this, I think we might really be friends."

Popovich laughed.

"Let's put aside the matter of becoming friends. I just talked with Auerbach on the phone. I think you are such a smart person, you should be able to guess what it is."

This time, Carl was serious.

"Don't guess, just say what you have, so as not to waste everyone's time."

Popovich pouted.

"It's very simple. Everyone knows how much the Celtics need this No. [-] pick. Or I also said clearly that we have been waiting for Tim Duncan for several years. For this player, we are really determined to get it."

Carl was very firm.

"Oh, Tim is a good player, but to be honest, you are not the only ones who like good players, right?"

Popovich smiles, laughs at Karl.

"I understand what you mean, we only need the No. 1 pick, the entire Celtics player, you can pick whatever you want, I'm serious, no matter who we are, we can put it on the shelf, we only need the No. 1 pick! Request, you You can mention it as you like!"

Carl said directly and seriously, after thinking about it, he still didn't forget to add something later.

"Greg, to be honest, Tim is nothing to you, really. You already have David, he is already a one-in-a-million superstar, and Tim is really important to you. Wei has some overlapping positions. You don't really need him, I hope you can seriously consider it!"

However, Karl who said so made Popovich nod directly.

To be honest, Popovich really agrees with this sentence.

You know, in the Spurs at the time, the Admiral was already a top-notch center in the league. Even if he faced O'Neal, who would flourish in the future, he would not be able to take advantage of a fully healthy Admiral.

Popovich hummed, but did not directly answer Carl's question, so he left a sentence,

"I can't answer this question for you now, but I have already understood your thinking, and you should give me some time to think about it."

Carl's mouth moved, as if he was still thinking about saying something, but Popovich was about to turn around and leave.

"Hey, Greg! The player you drew today, is there any interest in talking about his trade in the future?"

Looking at Popovich's back, Karl suddenly reacted, and shouted directly behind Popovich.

After Karl's words came out, Popovich didn't even think of it.

This guy actually became interested in Su Hu, and even wanted to get Su Hu through a trade?

"Don't even think about it!"

This is Popovich's last words.

Subsequently, Su Hu and Popovich left the scene of the draw.

However, on the way back, Popovich and Su Hu still talked a lot about the future of the Spurs.

Obviously, for some reason, Popovich always thinks that Su Hu can give him many constructive opinions.

Moreover, Popovich always has a vague feeling that there are always some very wonderful ideas in this guy's mind.

Now Popovich likes to chat with Su Hu.

"Su, during the journey back, you didn't have anything to say. Aren't you curious about what Carl is talking about with me?"

Looking at the silent Su Hu, Popovich was a little curious.

"What else is there, about trading the No. 1 pick, I can guess this matter with my toes."

Su Hu yawned and said lazily.

Popovich chuckled,
"Since you know what he wants to do, I'm quite curious, how did you plan?"

Upon hearing Popovich's question, Su Hu directly asked Popovich,
"I think he put the entire Celtics on the shelf and let you pick whatever you want, but, I also want to know, what do you think about the No. 1 pick?"

Popovich nodded and answered Su Hu's question.

"We already have David. To be honest, I have also considered Van Horn. According to the report, this guy seems to have good potential."

What Popovich said was quite serious, but it made Su Hu amused.

Su Hu sized Popovich up and answered directly,
"Hey, old man, I don't think I'm too old to be insane. In this draft, to be honest, if my grandma was the general manager, she would have chosen Tim without hesitation."

Su Hu said with a smile, even feeling that it was not too hard, and then added,
"Also, don't make similar jokes in the future. To be honest, it's not funny at all. Really, it's just as funny as David Robinson's joke."

Hearing what Su Hu said, Popovich smiled wryly. Obviously, Su Hu's point of view played a big role.

At this time, Popovich's phone rang.

"Hello, Popovich, who is this?"

It was a call from the Cardinal, and of course it was a matter of trading the No. [-] pick.

"Don't even think about it!"

Popovich refused without saying a word,,,

It's exactly the same as Guingamp's tone of refusal to Karl,,,

"I think the Cardinal must be in a very bad mood right now." Su Hu shrugged, and even had a little sympathy for the Celtics.

"Well, maybe it is. However, we have also encountered a problem in the team now, and it is quite difficult to be honest."

For the No. [-] pick, the two have reached an agreement, so Popovich has no interest in talking about the Celtics' follow-up.

However, Su Hu didn't know about the problems after Popovich.

"what happened?"

"Today, Dominique Wilkins officially submitted an application for leaving the team."

Su Hu knew about the Spurs before, but the human movie essence really only played for the Spurs for one year, and then left the United States and went directly to Europe to play.

But, to be honest, Wilkins is a player Su Hu likes to cooperate with very much when he is on the court with the Spurs.

He plays open and close, and also likes to directly destroy the basket, causing direct damage to the basket, and his style of play is sturdy.

Typical people are the type who don't talk much, just a little bit tangled.

To be honest, Su Hu wants to change this history this time.

Su Hu also wants to partner with Wilkins and beat his opponents on the court without any scruples!
Think about it, the twin towers of the Spurs will be officially formed next year, and then Su Hu, Wilkins, and the general will be added.

This proper all-star lineup is picturesque, this lineup Su Hu probably can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

"What's your opinion?"

Su Hu asked Popovich directly.

"To be honest, I agree with this person's professional attitude, and I like it very much, but now he seems determined to leave, and I have nothing to do."

Popovich was telling the truth.

Su Hu felt that with Wilkins' character, it seemed that he could really do this.

"Okay, I'll talk to him after I go back. If it succeeds, then I hope you will also show your sincerity."

The two immediately laughed.

Then, when Su Hu returned to San Antonio, he also contacted Wilkins immediately, and also invited him to meet in the arena.

The two first shot each other, and after a few rounds of back and forth, Su Hu directly opened the topic.

"Hey, I hear you're leaving San Antonio?"

Seemingly mentioning it unintentionally, Su Hu really wanted to know Wilkins' opinion.

"um, yes."

"Why did you leave? Don't you have anything worth remembering about the Spurs?"

Su Hu didn't understand.

"No, but to be honest, my career is nearing the end. Since I can't stay in a team that can win a championship, then I might as well choose to earn more money."

Wilkins speaks very directly and realistically.

"I can understand your thoughts, but I think you seem to have misunderstood the Spurs. I think next year's Spurs will definitely have the ability to win the championship."

Su Hu chuckled, and also expressed his opinion, and then added,
"Of course, all of this needs to be done without you leaving. To be honest, normally speaking, I'm a rookie and I don't have much right to speak, but for some reason, playing games with you is very comfortable."

Wilkins hummed, and then asked a question.

"Hehe, the Bulls have already won two championships in a row, and their current momentum is unstoppable. Don't you think that with the No. 1 pick, we can overthrow them?"

Su Hu laughed, thought for a while, and then mysteriously said this sentence to Wilkins.

"How should I put it, it may be impossible to rely on my own strength alone, but you have to know that next year's Spurs will have a healthier David Robinson, a Tim Duncan with unlimited potential, and more and more players. The sharper Avery Johnson, and me, the amazing newcomer, of course, if you, the flying guy, why is it impossible?"

Wilkins thought about Su Hu's words seriously, tilted his head and said,
"In terms of price, whatever I think is right will do!"

Su Hu grinned, the time to change history has really come.
