0098: [Magic Manager]

On the day Westbrook and Duger traveled to Orlando, the NBA Draft draw was held in New York. As a result, there was a super upset, and the Chicago Bulls actually won the top pick with a probability of 1.7%. This frustrated the Miami Heat, who had a 24 percent chance of having a bad season, even though Pat Riley finally took the shot himself. But it leaves them passive in their choices.

"It's the Chicagoans who have a headache right now."

Pat Riley was still relaxed in an interview: "OJ Mayo or Derrick Rose, or even Michael Beasley, are all great choices for Miami. ”

"2008 is not a big year for the draft, and these three are the only ones who really have star looks."

Pat Riley faces the camera and smiles.

This year is a recognized draft year, and Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma, the University of North Carolina Sanjie, Davidson College's Stephen Curry and others have not announced their participation in the draft.

In addition to the three celebrities of O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, the only one who has the ability to challenge them is Russell Westbrook of UCLA.

"And what kind of player do you think Snoopy is?"

A Chinese reporter asked.

The reporter, from a well-known Chinese basketball magazine, asked almost every team general manager or famous player present.

The answer was almost identical: Snoopy is a promising rookie with a great future in the NBA.

Since opening up international players, the top brass of NBA teams have become familiar with this kind of problem. They know how to curry favor with journalists from various countries as well as the fans behind them. They rarely make excuses, unless they're in a bad mood that day.

"Uh, Snoopy?" Pat Riley raised an eyebrow and said, "I think he's going to lose." With his height, he can't survive in the NBA restricted area. And with his speed and technical ability, he can't find a role on the outside. ”

With that, Pat Riley walked away quickly.

This made the Chinese reporter stunned in place: why not play according to the routine? Does he dislike Dugg that much? Don't even say even the most basic diplomatic rhetoric?

……

"The Seattle SuperSonics got the No. 4 pick, which is a good pick."

Russell Westbrook told Dugg next to him with a smile on his way to the Amway Center in Orlando, home of the Magic.

"Congratulations." He smiled and told Westbrook: "The SuperSonics are a good team, and since they sent away Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis last year, they're going into a rebuild, and you get a starting spot as soon as you get in the team. ”

Westbrook's expression was horrified, his eyes widening, "How did you know they would choose me?" ”

Dugg shrugged: "Isn't it obvious enough?" ”

"SuperSonics executives and my agent have reached an agreement if they don't get the top pick. Or if Derrick Rose doesn't fall to their signing, they will not hesitate to choose me even if they are faced with two options, OJ Mayo and me. Westbrook told Dugg truthfully.

Dugg thought for a moment and said, "I guess the Chicago Bulls should pick Michael Beasley." They're luxurious enough on the guard line, with Hinrich and Ben Gordon both playing point guard. Of course, this can't be completely ruled out, after all, Derrick Rose is a native of Chicago. ”

Recently, Dugg has read a lot of basketball reports, and he has also made up the history of NBA teams.

He is a person who takes his work very seriously.

And, he is unreservedly in love with basketball, and he hopes to climb to the highest mountain in the basketball field.

"The top three picks are definitely Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo or Derrick Rose, and that's not going to change." Westbrook said, "What about you? ”

Russell took his Motorola Blade flip phone and read it as he pressed it down: "Next with the fifth pick Memphis Grizzlies, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Bobcats, Satermento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards, ......"

"None of these names have ever given me a draft promise."

Duge looked up and sighed, "It's hard for me to be picked in the lotto. ”

At this point, Westbrook patted Dugg on the shoulder, "Don't be sad, Snoopy. Maybe the teams that promised you the promise will choose to trade upwards, not necessarily! This year is a small year for the draft, and everyone will not hold the draft picks in their hands. ”

Dugg smiled slightly, and said in his heart, I hope so.

Under his contract with Nike, the lottery show is a necessary bonus clause that will bring him $600,000. Although this matter is not something that he can decide with hard work, he still hopes to get off to a good start.

When he checked in to the Amway Center in Orlando, he received a call from Lin Weiwei. Lin Weiwei excitedly told him on the phone: "I signed a Spanish player...... Oh, no, it's the Congolese players. He has been playing in Spain. His style of play reminds me of you, and he's very good at defending and blocking. ”

Dugg didn't seem that excited, he just nodded: "Okay, congratulations." ”

"No, congratulations. You're also the boss, and you get 30 percent of the cut, even though you don't have to do anything. Lin Weiwei said on the other end of the phone: "I am arranging for him to go to the Orlando training camp, his name is Sergi Ibaka. When the time comes, I hope you and your UCLA brothers will take care of him. ”

Dugg vaguely agreed, then hung up the phone.

Tonight is the fourth game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Orlando Magic and the Detroit Pistons.

Dugg sat in the VIP area on the third row with Russell Westbrook and was right behind the Orlando Magic's bench, giving them the opportunity to get up close and personal with NBA players.

The night's game was a scorching one, even though Detroit sent Ben Wallace away. But the combination of McDyce and Rasheed Wallace is still full of energy, and they have been dealing with young No. 1 center Dwight Howard in the paint.

The heavy body confrontation sound was transmitted to the sidelines, which gave Duge a great impact: "The intensity of the NBA is really not comparable to the NCAA." ”

He sighed.

At this point, Westbrook asked Dugg, "Snoopy, who do you think will win this game?" ”

The current score of both teams is 33:35. The Magic, who are playing at home, have a two-point lead.

"Detroit." Dugg replied in a low voice.

He spoke quietly.

However, a tall black man in a straight suit next to him still looked sideways, and he ****** glanced at Dugg, and then at Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook is asking again, "Why?" ”

"Dwight Howard loves singles so much that he's been doing things that don't make sense tonight. There is also Nelson in the No. 1 position. "They should give the ball to Tekoglu, he's the playmaker for the tandem team," Dug said. ”

When the middle-aged black man heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and then stretched out his hand sideways: "Hello, I'm Odyssmith, the general manager of the Orlando Magic." It's a pleasure to meet you, young Mr. Snoopy, and Mr. Russell Westbrook. ”

Russell Westbrook and Dugg almost
