After hearing Stephen's words, many of the players sitting behind him were lit up. It seemed that he heard that Stephen was very powerful in the team and could even bring his juniors to his own team. Naturally, they didn't know Coupard's ability, but it turned out that a player who sometimes didn't play in the Clippers became the main center when he came to the Supersonics. How could he look at this?

In the eyes of many people, sometimes it is not a lack of ability, but an opportunity, just like playing time and shooting times, I am afraid that there will be no data. Kupad's data is not particularly outstanding. Isn't it normal to get more than a dozen rebounds with his height and strength? It should be possible to get it even if you change someone.

This is also a common problem for many people with insufficient abilities. They believe that it is not that they do not work hard or that they lack abilities, but that they lack opportunities, have not encountered opportunities, have not met mentors, and if they meet, they can be like someone, and so on.

Before Yao Ming, many people believed that with our yellow-like physique, we entered the league, that is, we played a dozen soy sauce and served as a substitute. After Yao Ming succeeded, many people attributed the reason to Yao Ming's height, the Rockets' center complex, and Yao Ming's commercial value. They did not pay attention to Yao Ming's hard work and hard work, as well as Yao Ming's high emotional intelligence, which was the success in basketball first, and then commercial success.

They only regard the Rockets' emphasis on Yao Ming as their emphasis on the Chinese market, and believe that if others were to go to the past, they could achieve something like Yao Ming. This is why Yi Jianlian insisted on not going to the Milwaukee Bucks to report. After Yi Jianlian surrendered, many fans and industry insiders believed that Yi Jianlian would be able to reach the future.

The team boss came here to invite someone in person, and this sincerity was enough. Yao Ming didn't have this treatment at that time, and Yi Jianlian's personal image was more sunny and his athletic ability was better. Unlike Yao Ming, he couldn't even jump up with a dunk.

According to many people's predictions, Yi Jianlian will have a smooth journey in the future, become the core of the team, become the target of merchants, and become a rising star in the league's promotion and publicity. Although it will not be said to surpass Yao Ming, it is a bit impolite, but at least it can compete with Yao Ming.

In fact, even Yi Jianlian thought it was too simple. He passed by with a arrogant attitude, but there were two things he didn't expect. One was the ranking psychology of the players, especially his insistence on not reporting, which made players and fans disgusted.

Another unexpected thing is that in the United States, the team's boss has not had the impact on the team as expected. The team is like a company. The boss hires the general manager, and the general manager is the manager. Most of the team's affairs are decided by the general manager. The boss sets business goals and the general manager is responsible for completing them. If the boss interferes in the team's affairs too much, the general manager will also protest.

Moreover, even if the general manager decides to reuse a certain player, he still has to go through the head coach. The general manager hires the head coach and the head coach is responsible for the team's record, but the general manager has no right to interfere in the affairs of the court. For example, whoever is used or not and whoever is given a play time is decided by the head coach.

If the general manager makes a point about this, if the head coach's record goal is not completed, it will be calculated whose responsibility will be calculated? The division of responsibilities of a team is very clear, so the head coach who can best determine the fate of the players is the head coach. The head coach of the Bucks is actually not interested in Yi Jianlian. As a novice coach who temporarily takes office as an assistant coach, he wants to keep his position.

This position is not something you can get by the boss or general manager. A position with an annual salary of several million US dollars requires more ability and record-breaking evidence to prove that everything must be subject to this prerequisite. So after discovering that Yijianlian was overwhelmed by the use of Yijianlian, Shuskoviak, who said it well at the beginning, quickly gave up Yijianlian and chose Villanueva.

A player who cannot prove himself on the court, no matter how vivid and handsome he is, no matter how capable he is to run or jump, it is useless. So what if the background market is big, how many loyal fans will be there if you are not capable enough, how can you have influence?

From the beginning, Stephen realized that the commercial value was actually his own competitive value in the end. Only when he succeeded in the arena can the commercial market develop. The increase in endorsement manufacturers should be less than the increase in popularity, otherwise it would only smash his own signature.

So opportunities are not important, what is important is ability. This is not only the ability on the court, but also emotional intelligence. You must be able to be accepted by your teammates. A player isolated by your teammates is useless even if you have strong abilities, it is useless. You must be accepted by the head coach. It depends on your level of effort and understanding of tactics, etc. Especially in a very unfamiliar environment, the first thing you have to do is to accommodate this environment, not this environment to accommodate you.

So Sun Yue asked Stephen very directly: "Are your team planning to choose this Du Fei?"

"How do I know this? I am not the general manager. I just recommended it to the general manager. Then the general manager sent a scout to inspect it. If he was not selected in the front, we might choose him at the end of the second round, but it is hard to say that this is. After all, I am not the general manager." Stephen shook his head and corrected their wrong ideas. However, it seemed that no one believed it. Everyone made up their minds and must take a closer look at whether the Supersonics would choose Du Fei.

A player who has basically never heard of, and is also a yellow man. If he happens to be selected by the Supersonics, it must be related to Stephen. Maybe he really recommended him simply as he said, but the general manager must attach great importance to it. Thinking of Coupard and Du Fei, they think Stephen is taking great care of his alumni, why don’t he take care of his teammates of these national teams?

The draft began soon, and the annual draft is the same. David Stern went up to speak and announced the players selected by each team in the order of draws. This year is no exception. The first one is naturally the highly anticipated No. 1 pick winner, selected by the Chicago Bulls among all the players they can choose.

"Derick-Rose." Unexpectedly, David Stern called out Derek Rose's name, followed by some introductions. He was born in Chicago, was born at the University of Memphis, and had some information such as height and weight. At this time, Derek Rose took the hat representing the Bulls from the staff and put it on his head, walked onto the stage to shake hands and hug David Stern.

This is David Stern's privilege as the league president. All draft balls must be entered into the league through his hands. When Derek Ross was speaking on the stage, the camera began to point at Michael Beasley. Since the Bulls chose Derek Ross, he must be the second-tier pick.

"Michael Beasley", as expected, David Stern called Michael Beasley's name on behalf of the Miami Heat. Although Michael Beasley was a little unwilling, he still walked towards Taiwan very excitedly.

The first two are basically not expected by everyone, but the differences behind are serious. The Minnesota Timberwolves hold the third pick. They lack manpower in every position. It is not surprising that anyone will choose. What kind of choice will they make? Many people are looking forward to it with concern.

Because no one knows whether they will choose their favorite players, and even Presty is no exception. If the Timberwolves choose Russell Westbrook, it is difficult to say whether their transaction with the Knicks will continue. Perhaps it may be possible to change the trading target to the Timberwolves.

The name David Stern called out by "oj Mayo" made many people feel relaxed, but there are exceptions. As the talented Oj Mayo among the rookies this year, it does have the value of the Timberwolves taking action, but many people predict that the Timberwolves will choose a big man.

"Kevin Love" David Stern called this name on behalf of the Memphis Grizzlies. Presty immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No problem. None of the four teams in front of him attacked Russell Westbrook. It seemed that Westbrook was destined to be the Supersonics. Walsh from the Knicks also breathed a sigh of relief. There was no problem with the transaction.
