Chapter 116 A Transaction
The moment Adam Xiao Hua called Tianyang's name, everyone on the scene fell into a state of confusion.
Sixers fans who were about to cheer had the name 'Simmons' stuck in their throats.
The TNT4 members all had their mouths open, their necks leaned forward, and their eyeballs protruded, as if they were terrified to hear Taylor Swift say that she had found her true love and was about to hold a wedding.
Only Johnny hugged Tianyang tightly with tears streaming down his face: "Son, I'm very proud of you!"
Tianyang joined the Sequoia team at the end of January, and led the team to overtake and win the first game; he also led the team to victory in the Pacific 1 League Championship and won the division championship; in March Madness, he led the team to conquer the strong Enemy Kansas, Villaloa, Duke, and finally injured North Carolina with free throws to win the NCAA championship.
For this, Tianyang almost spent his entire career.
Johnny regretted it countless times and felt it wasn't worth it, but tonight it seemed that everything was worth it.
The dazed Tianyang finally realized that he wanted to surprise Johnny, but now he himself was pleasantly surprised.
He got up and hugged Aaron, Cui Ren and Plum, and then walked onto the stage leaning on crutches.
This scene made the 76ers fans on the scene completely explode.
"Sam-Hinkie to hell, we don't want a second glass man!"
"F UCK! Is Sam Hinkie getting water in his head?"
"Sam Hinkie! I'm going to blackmail you forever!"
Tianyang took the hat of the 76ers on the sidelines and slowly stepped up the steps. Adam Silver walked quickly to his side and helped him to the center of the stage.After the two took a group photo, Tianyang stepped down from the stage. After being interviewed by the ESPN reporter, he went to the TNT commentary booth.
……
While the fans were cursing Sam Hinkie, in the draft office of the 76ers, owner Joshua Harris was leisurely smoking a cigar, completely ignoring the eyes of Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown seeking answers.
After taking a sip happily, Joshua smiled and said, "Do you know why I chose Tianyang?"
Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown didn't want to talk at all.
"After the meeting last night, someone told me the news for free on the Internet, saying that on the night of Kobe's retirement, he interviewed a person with the Bass brothers and sisters, Kupchak, and the magician. Guess who that person is ?”
Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown still didn't speak.
"That person is Li Tianyang. I'm curious, why did the Lakers spend so much time interviewing a player with a ruptured Achilles tendon? My innate sense of smell made me re-examine Tianyang's recent news. There are very few news , so dating the model Farage is a bit of a spectacle, which is normal at first, but then I thought about it, apart from being more attractive, why did Farage get so many resources in Hollywood? If the Lakers wanted to please Tianyang, After giving Farage resources, Tianyang should have stopped after being injured, why continue to give? Do you know?"
Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown had cold eyes.
"Of course it is because the Lakers are absolutely optimistic about Tianyang, and a tweet saying that Tianyang will become an NBA player has been deleted. I boldly predict that the Lakers have given Tianyang a draft promise, and then let him hide and refuse to accept it without showing his face. Tryout. Think again, why until yesterday, the Lakers were still looking for a top 10 draft spot? Is it really for the draft center Jacobs? Their new coach is Walton, who obviously wants to play small ball. With Randle, would you prioritize a center?"
Sam – Hinkie and Brett – Brown look gradually slowed down.
"But I'm still not sure. Until just now, I saw Tianyang walking into the Barclays Center. I noticed that he didn't wear protective boots. How many times have you seen this kind of recovery speed? In addition, the one in a wheelchair There are hundreds of videos of three-point shots, what do you think of?"
Sam Hinkie finally spoke: "This at most proves that Tianyang may recover well, and there are some potentials that we haven't discovered, but we still gamble too much with the No. [-] pick."
"It's a big gamble, but maybe it's more profitable." Joshua took a sip of his cigar, raised his legs, and said fiercely: "Call Kupchak, I want Simmons to add a 17-year first-rounder." !"
Brett-Brown was taken aback when he heard the words, "Isn't it too cruel? What if he doesn't agree?"
Joshua blew out a smoke ring, "It's not him who decides, it's Jim Bass, that's a crazy guy, he won't allow so many sunk costs. If we really don't agree, we bet on ourselves, anyway Emby De has always wanted to play with Tianyang."
Sam Hinkie and Brett Brown looked at each other and shook their heads. In their opinion, Joshua was crazier than Jim Bass. If he won, he would make a lot of money, but if he lost, he would be left with nothing but his underpants.
……
In the draft office of the Lakers, Jim Buss bowed his head without saying a word, Kupchak folded his hands and frowned, and Banner walked back and forth irritably.
Suddenly, Jim Buss frantically pushed the documents on the table to the ground, and almost shouted in a growling tone: "Who the hell leaked the news! The conditions they put forward are simply too deceiving!"
Kupchak shook his head, "Calm down, now is not the time to struggle, we only have 3 minutes, do we want to change? I suggest not to change, Tianyang is very good, but if we choose him, we will be very uncompetitive in the future .”
Banner stopped, "I suggest changing. In terms of this year's battle between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, how can we win the championship without betting big? If our team is not to fight the Warriors, what's the point? Simmons can lead the Lakers against the Warriors. Warrior? Obviously not!"
Although Banner is a bit overstepping his authority, it is more valuable to express opinions than to remain silent in such an urgent situation.
When the opinions of the outside world were evenly divided, Jim immediately thought of his family, "I want to call Jenny."
After the phone call was made, Jim gave a general account of the situation, and Jenny was silent for a few seconds before she said: "Father used to tell us that if a thing is done too smoothly, it may be of little value. Now that we have confirmed that SkyOcean has super Strong strength, it’s like when Webber traded Hardaway plus a 3-year first-round pick, no matter how much the price is, you have to choose!”
After getting the answer, Jim hung up the phone directly, turned his head and nodded at Kupchak, "Promise them!"
……
Adam Silver once again walked from the room to the podium, picked up a note and read: "In the 2016 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers used the second pick to choose Ben Simmons from Louisiana State University! "
The 76ers fans sighed, and the Lakers fans applauded excitedly.
Simmons himself was also happy, and excitedly put on the Lakers hat and ran to the stage.
He seems to have seen the supermodels of California lining up to rush towards him.
Ingram in the audience looked bewildered, but he was secretly happy: "Is my dream of becoming a Celtic player suddenly coming true? I have green blood flowing through my body!"
……
In the draft office of the Lakers, Jim Buss looked at the documents in front of him, his hands still trembling a little.The perfect plan that was painstakingly formulated suddenly disappeared in an instant.
The optional draft is not over yet, Jim, Kupchak, and Banner gathered together to discuss who to pick in the second round.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Kupchak picked it up, and a seductive voice came from the phone.
"Hi, Mitch, my old friend, I'm Danny-Ainge. I now have a fair and just deal that is full of great benefits for both the Lakers and the Celtics, and I want to talk to you."
For the rewards of several old irons such as "there is evil in the pen", add more.Also why no one noticed the meme '1 point is 1 point'?
