Bishop of the Devil

On June 28, the day before the draft began, Richard met Durant and the company commander in the hotel tomorrow.

Although the company commander Brewer is not as dazzling as Durant, but the draft pick must not be lower than that, and he can definitely be selected in the top ten.

Brewer also knows that he is basically impossible to join the Pirates. After all, Richard only has a top ten pick in the hands. It is unlikely that anyone will choose Brewer with this precious draft right.

Durant is very excited. He now very much expects the Trail Blazers to pick Oden with the first pick, so that he can join the pirates.

According to the process, Richard gave the two men the West Lafayette gold medal.

In the evening of the next day, Richard took Myers to the draft.

The teams are all geared up and ready to pick strong newcomers for their teams.

In particular, a few fish-meat teams holding high-pick picks at this moment have their eyes shining, and they can't help aiming at the small green house.

"Bob, the Heat is selling O'Neill. Is there any progress?" Richard asked Bob Myers.

Myers shook his head, "BOSS, how can it be so easy, Patrielli may not have dreamed yet, and thought Shaq was the omnipotent insider at the peak."

"The Suns are negotiating with the Heat, but the news I have found is that the Suns are preparing to give the next two draft picks plus a rookie on the team and some contracts that are about to expire."

Richard nodded. Myers' ability to detect news is still quite strong. If there is any disturbance in the league, Myers can get the news for the first time.

The Suns gave two first-round picks plus a rookie, and the Heat would definitely not be able to agree.

It is mainly the two first-round picks of the Suns. The pick must be very low, and the value is not very large. It is strange that Pat Riley can agree.

"Continue to inquire about the news, and by the way, there is a bit of noise, saying that Shaq is not good now. What should you say, you should be clear." Richard said at Myers.

Myers nodded and promised that O'Neal was out of health, which is not nonsense. O'Neal played only half of the season last season, and casually released some winds, and the teams will surely believe it.

...

Stern has already started playing, and after a while nagging, announced the official start of this draft.

Soon, Stern began to read out the candidates for the top pick.

"I announced that the Portland Trail Blazers chose Kevin Durant from Purdue University with the first pick in the first round."

The representatives of the teams in the audience were stunned. The Blazers did not choose Oden, but chose Durant of Purdue University? !

Are they crazy? Oden has such a strong talent, they did not choose, choose a thin hemp rod? !

The offensive fire that Durant showed at Purdue University was indeed quite powerful.

But there shouldn’t be too many offensive NCAA players. Not to mention far, Adam Morrison’s offensive firepower last season was quite strong, but now? Not even a starter...

However, after a moment of surprise, the high-ranking teams behind were suddenly happy, especially the Atlanta Hawks, who now forced themselves to look calmer.

If the pirates holding the No. 2 pick did not choose Oden, what would the Eagles need? Al Horford.

Horford is really good, but it is far inferior to Oden, which is something that a fool can see.

The Hawks team representative now only hopes that Richard's mind will get into the water, give up Oden and choose other newcomers.

...

Durant in the small green house, completely dumbfounded, became a champion? Okay Oden is the champion?

What the **** are the Blazers doing, are they full, why should they use the top pick to choose themselves!

He had already planned, joined the Pirates, mixed with this championship lineup for a year or two, and began to take the starting position, and then with his own strength, he might become the boss of the Pirates.

The boss of a dynasty team, it is enjoyable to think about.

But now that he's finished, he was chosen by the Blazers and he can't join the pirates.

For a time, Durant's face rose red, and he was annoyed. He may be the most unlucky champion in the entire NBA history...

The extremely unhappy Durant, even when he went on stage to shake hands with Stern, did not show a smile.

...

Soon, it was the top pick of the Pirates.

Richard naturally did not hesitate to write Greg Oden's name on the note.

Oden was in a small green house, and like Durant, he was ashamed. In his view, this champion was completely in his pocket, but now the champion was snatched by Durant.

As a result, the two most dazzling people in this rookie were all on the stage crying...

Stern was speechless, what happened was like being kidnapped.

Seeing Richard pick Oden with the No. 1 spot, the following teams sighed. Richard seemed to have no water in his head. He was still quite sensible.

...

Then the Hawks chose Horford with the third pick in the first round according to their original plan.

Yi Jianlian had good luck this time and was selected by Lu Kai in fifth place...

Company leader Brewer was the seventh overall pick by the Timberwolves.

The Philadelphia 76ers had good luck and selected the best Cydis Young outside the top ten in the first round.

As for the other Yang Shaoxia, Nick Yang was selected by the Wizards.

The 23rd overall New York Knicks chose Wilson Chandler, a player who has been influenced by the unique culture of the Chinese Business Club.

After the next few picks passed, it was the pirates' choice again.

"I announced that the Charlotte Pirates took the 29th overall pick in the first round and chose Sun Yue from Hebei, China."

Richard's choice didn't make any waves at the venue. After all, it was only the bottom pick of the second round. The value and the second round sign were no different, even if it was wasted.

However, at home, Stern's reading is to make domestic fans thoroughly boiling.

Although they are very clear that Sun Yue is not Yao Ming, it is unlikely that he will grow into a star of Yao Ming's status, but now Richard has selected Sun Yue, at least so that Sun Yue has the opportunity to stay in the NBA development.

To Richard's surprise, the Supersonics played two good hands in a row. After they chose Landry with the first pick in the second round, they chose big baby Glen David with the fifth pick in the second round. Sri Lanka.

Richard blinked his eyes, the supersonic speed is simply amazing, the cost-effectiveness of these two choices is too high, and almost half of the reliable players in the second round are selected.

However, after choosing it, whether it will be used is another matter.

The reason why many second-round players are late is not to say that they have reached their age before their strength broke out. Some players actually have good strengths themselves, but the team does not value it and does not get any playing time. Naturally, it starts to appear very mediocre.

Supersonic selection of vision, Richard is very clear, so good to point out, only to develop the ability of newcomers, but it is not very good, otherwise, they will not only get team history in ancient times Have a championship.

...

Next for the Philadelphia 76ers' second round pick, Richard chose Marc Gasol.

There is nothing to say about this choice. Anyone who crosses, as long as he has the opportunity to replace the team to participate in the draft, will definitely win the small price-effective Gasol.

Next, Richard has 29 second round picks. This draft pick along with Ramon Sessions' 26th round pick is basically useless.

However, Richard still selected a player, a normally unsuccessful draft pick.

Andre Ingram.

This Ingram is, to be precise, no sense of existence in the first ten years of his career. He has been playing in the Development League for a full ten years.

The salary of the development alliance is almost pitiful, and it is really not easy for Ingram to persist in the development alliance for ten years.

Later, the Lakers gave Ingram a ten-day short contract opportunity to let this basketball stubborn, gray-haired veteran walk into the eyes of the fans, plus the performance on the court is indeed good, the media frantically reported.

At present, Richard is really no one to choose. Before watching the draft list, I accidentally noticed this name and simply chose it.

This kind of dream catcher, at least Richard is quite respected, in his own ability without losing the team's interests, Richard is very happy to give this player a chance.

...

At the end of the draft, Richard selected four players in this draft conference, namely Oden, Xiaojia, Sun Yue and Ingram.

It happens to be two inside and two outside, but the strength of these two outside is really too big and too big to compare with the two inside.

However, Richard's outside players are enough. Even if these two newcomers have almost no outside strength, they will have no effect on the overall strength of the Pirates. Telley's phone.

This time, Pat Riley gave a very honest offer. They were willing to use O'Neal to replace Oden, and Richard asked Moning to sign a one-year contract of 15 million US dollars to match the salary.

Riley had never expected that the Blazers did not choose Oden...

Now Oden was picked up by Richard, and Riley flew up like a shark smelling blood.

"Riley, Oden is a non-sale product, no matter what team gets him, it is impossible to use him to change for Shaq."

"You can continue to sell Shaq on the trading market, but I feel Shaq may not be able to bring you the chips you want."

Richard said calmly.

Riley sighed in his heart, and now his most troublesome thing must be O'Neill. He wished to sell O'Neill even in the night to avoid long nights.

But this kind of hundreds of millions of dollars in big contract players, coupled with their age, can't be sold so easily.

Richard has always maintained a detached attitude towards the Heat and expressed his interest in O'Neill, but once quoted, Richard directly sneered.

"Lee, let's order it directly. What kind of chips are you willing to pay to trade Shaq?" Riley asked Shen Sheng.

"Don't worry, Riley, I will take my family to the East Coast for a vacation in the near future, shall we meet and talk?" Richard said unhurriedly.

He really is not in a hurry and is interested in O'Neill, does not mean that Richard has to win O'Neill...

If Riley had always been lucky and wanted to sell O'Neill for a big price, Richard would be a big blow.
