453 The draft is over

"What you said just now is true?" Conley asked.

"What?" Xiao Han didn't understand what Kang Li was saying, because he didn't say anything just now.[]

"I just didn't expect the Eagles to choose you, this one." Conley rolled his eyes.

"Yeah." Xiao Han nodded: "I thought they wanted to choose Horford or Noah's. After all, inside players are more popular than us."

"That's over, I don't know where I will be selected." Conley suddenly became depressed.

Xiao Han patted Kang Li on the shoulder comfortably and said nothing.

Conley didn't wait too long, and the next one he was selected was him. The Memphis Grizzlies chose Conley with their fourth pick. In fact, although Conley is technically worse than Xiao Han and his mind is simple, he still has some extra guarantees to choose him. Conley, who came from a sports family, has a very reasonable diet and training since childhood, and knows how to protect himself. He has an advantage over any other rookie in terms of physical quality and avoiding injuries, including Xiao Han.

There is nothing else, the Memphis people just like Conley. Of course, the NBA team's choice must be related to their lineup equipment. The Grizzlies' lineup strength is actually good on paper. With an all-round inside player Paul Gasol, coupled with a bouncer like Stromayer Swift, it can be said that they have both skills and physical skills. Not only are they outstanding offensive talents, defense and rebounding, and blocking. In terms of outside firepower, they also have powerful newcomer Rudy Gay, and Deng Tai Jones who can dunk on Yao Da's head. It can be said that such a scoring combination is quite good, so what the Grizzlies' senior executives want to add most is the team's No. 1 position.

Memphis is not without his position as a point guard. They have both the mature and persistent Mike Miller, the "Flying Mouse" Damon Stodmeier, who is both experienced and speed, and even Chucky Atkins, who has received the Lakers. Even if it is full of talents, it is not an exaggeration to say that their problems are as numerous as their reserves.

Old Miller is too slow and his attack level is very ordinary. Stoudemire is injured and will be absent in every three days. As for Atekins, it is okay to play a substitute short-term worker. It is not possible to expect him to rotate normally. In other words, the number one position with the most staffing is also one of the most talented positions in Memphis.

Of course Xiao Han is good, but it's not the Memphis people's turn to choose. In this way, Conley is the most anticipated No. 1 player among the rookies this year. Although there are many outstanding point guards in the season, not many people participated in the draft. For example, Westbrook, this guy directly chose to stay in school on the grounds that he didn't want to take the draft in the same year as Xiao Han. Xiao Han guessed that Westbrook really should be Oden and Durant, because of the existence of these two people, obviously directly shattered Westbrook's dream of No. 1. Of course, perhaps what Westbrook said is true, but Xiao Han would never agree with it. Young Master Xiao is very low-key.

But we all know that Westbrook was still tragic after all. He avoided Xiao Han, but ran into another old friend, Derek Ross, the No. 1 pick next year, still had no chance with the poor Westbrook, and Xiao Han called this a long time fate.

It was too far. The Grizzlies chose Conley carefully. They trained Conley as an important part of the future. Xiao Han could see the intention of the Grizzlies' senior executives at a glance. They wanted to use the last light and heat of Miller and "Old Flying Squirrels" to force them to play the role of passing and helping to train a new organizer for the team. By the way, don't forget that there is Artekins. So Xiao Han was very happy for his teammates. At least from the moment, Conley's future is still bright. Of course, no one can predict the future development. Everything depends on Conley's own efforts.

The process is faster in the future, especially after all the rookies in the lottery area emerged, the enthusiasm of fans and media has also declined a lot. Everyone is scrambling to talk about the names in front of their mouths. As for the ones behind, I'm afraid that the guy who should have been selected will be unexpectedly eliminated.

Xiao Han was particularly careful that his other college teammate, Dai Quinn Cook, was picked by the 76ers of Philadelphia in the 21st pick in the first round. Xiao Han's main opponent this season, several major players of the last champion Florida, were also selected into the NBA with good picks. Among them, Brewer, who performed well in the semi-finals and finals, joined the Timberwolves in the seventh pick in the first round, Noah was selected by the Chicago Bulls at the ninth pick, and Al Horford fell to eleventh pick in the very strange way. What's even more amazing is that he eventually became Xiao Han's teammate.

Xiao Han knew that the reason why Horford's fate was so miserable was not unrelated to his complete disadvantage in the match against Oden in the finals, and also related to his intention to stay in school for a year and his intention to win the championship again but ultimately fail. In other words, if Xiao Han is regarded as the culprit, it cannot be said that it is definitely wrong.

Except for Horford, the other players basically belong to their positions. Xiao Han admired it more. His opponent Jeff Green in the semi-finals was won by the Celtics, while the highly anticipated UAE won the sixth place in the first round. In addition, the Los Angeles Lakers ranked tenth in the second round, which means the 40th place in the total, and Sun Yue, who also came from China. So far, none of the three Chinese players participating in this year's NBA draft were defeated, which was a great joy.

The Atlanta Hawks, which is Xiao Han's current parent team, made another victory in the subsequent draft. They chose Asi Lau, the organization guard from the International Department of Texas A&M University. This is not indifferent to choosing Xiao Han to buy a double insurance. Of course, Xiao Han is not qualified to blame the management for being a villain. He just despised him a little.

Xiao Han did not express much enthusiasm to the Hawks' senior management at the beginning. As soon as the draft was over, he just explained a few words to Sam Yang, and used the excuse of something wrong. He didn't say a word to the team staff, and pulled Gu Hanyue beside him and escaped.

No politeness, no interview, Xiao Han did not give anyone face and left very casually. His neat choice directly made all the media present miscalculate collectively. No one expected that Xiao Han even left the scene like a fool, even the officials who had just chosen his own team were left as fools. In the end, everyone who could not find others had to look at each other and parted in disagreement.

Xiao Han is confident because once he is selected, the player is equivalent to signing a sales contract with the team, but he cooperates very much and keeps the agent, right? And as long as he doesn't sign the contract for a moment, everything is hard to say. To be more specific, the team obtained the signing rights of a certain player in the draft. As long as it does not officially turn into black and white, it is still impossible to count.

Why was Rubio selected by the Timberwolves but still able to play in Europe? This is the problem of this power definition. And there is another problem here, that is, before the players and the team officially sign a contract, the team can also trade him out. In fact, that night, two such transfer events that Xiao Han is more concerned about occurred. Cook was sold to the Heat by 76 people, and No. 5 pick Jeff Green was also used as a bargaining chip by the Celtics on the day of the draft and traded to the Seattle Supersonics.

Xiao Han also had a scheming attitude. He was not sure that Atlanta chose his purpose. He had to worry about whether he would be swept out by the team as well. In that case, his boss's face would be too ugly, especially if he made some stupid words like loyalty, but it was finally proved that he had a hot face and a cold butt. It was not that Xiao Han was too jealous, but that he was deeply suspicious of the team-building ideas of the Hawks. He had carefully studied the current 30 teams in the NBA, and there were a few that really could not give players enough confidence, including Atlanta.
