Chapter 55: Crazy NBA

Fifteen minutes ago......

"The second pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose ...... Evan. Turner, from The Ohio State University, let's congratulate this kid! ”

β€œYes!” With David. Stern announced the final second, and a somewhat fat white man screamed excitedly in the box.

This person is not Stephensky, the general manager of the 76ers, but Mark Brown, who has been terrified for a long time. Cuban! It stands to reason that the 76ers and Evan . Turner, and Cuban and his calf are eight poles together. But he knew that if the 76ers took Turner, the Nets would lose their biggest target. For the Nets, their best option is gone. In this way, Cuban will be able to better implement his plan!

"Are you sure that kid deserves it?" Next to Cuban, the team's general manager, Nelson Jr., seems to be a little hesitant. "CuarΓ³n is one of the few All-Stars we have, and Steve's three-pointers are occasionally useful. Moreover, you actually took our first round pick directly next year! ”

Cuban looked at his general manager, and he really needed to have a relatively calm manager like Nelson Jr. by his side with this crazy boss. There's no doubt that Cuban is a good owner, but he likes to be impulsive, gamble, and reckless when it comes to team building.

In order to get a big-name star, Cuban can empty his team's salary space in advance, regardless of whether the star actually arrives. Now, for the sake of Yiyang, who has never played a professional basketball game, Cuban is actually willing to take out two players plus a draft pick.

Kuban is crazy, but he is not an idiot. While the Mavericks have always been a playoff team, it stands to reason that they shouldn't need rookies right now. But they are always one breath away from the championship. has been struggling to pursue the plan of the big names, but it has always failed to achieve its wishes. Dirk is 31 years old, and Marion and Kidd are at the end of their careers. If the Mavericks don't win the championship in the next three years, this goal will only get harder and harder to achieve!

What do the Mavericks do when Nowitzki gets old? Is it rotten? I'm afraid Kuban won't do that. Not only does he need to lay the groundwork for the Mavericks' future, but he also needs to add to the present.

Since chasing big names has not been possible, why not develop a big name by trading a high-pick rookie again as the Bucks drafted Dirk? With Kidd and others here, Yiyang will definitely be able to grow up quickly in the Mavericks. This is a point guard who can cut 15+10 per game on average, if Yiyang's previous resume is not blank, and then change his skin color, he may be able to become the champion!

"The draft is gambling for everyone, man. If you don't bet, how can you win? Kuban smiled at his general manager, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

"Sure you want to choose Derek. Favors? On the other side, the assistant general manager of the Nets sent Xiang Billy. Kim finally confirmed the name of their rookie pick.

Billy. Kim wanted to say yes, but at this time, a call from Kuban came.

"Wait." The black manager waved at his assistant and answered the phone.

"What a pity!" Cuban didn't beat around the bush, and as soon as the phone was connected, the Mavericks owner with a lot of personality got straight to the point about Cousins and Billy. Kim said "hello".

"Regret what?"

"Don't pretend, Billy, we all know you think Turner has been thinking about it all summer. The 76ers snatched the love of the sword, taking away the instant power boost you've been longing for. But that's okay, I've got an All-Star here that can definitely fill in the gaps in your roster. "Listen to Cuban, Billy. Kim knew the meaning of the call.

"Your chips?"

"I'm willing to send Caron. Butler, Steve. Novak and next year's first-round pick. At this time, Cuban learned from his team's general manager, Nelson Jr., that the Spurs had reached an agreement with the Warriors. If the Warriors can draft Yiyang with the sixth pick, then the Spurs will immediately make a trade. In other words, this is almost Cuban's last chance to get Yiyang! He must intercept Yiyang before the Warriors' sixth pick!

Billy. Kim was a little tempted, Caron. Although Butler is already a "former" All-Star, his defense and shooting are just as needed by the Nets. If you choose a rookie, with Lopez and Delon in the situation, Billy is bent on a quick championship. On the contrary, Kim has not yet had the patience to cultivate. What's more, Cuban also sent Novak, a pure shooter, and a first-round pick next year. It seems like a good deal for the Nets, who have lost their best target.

"Who do you want me to choose in the third pick?" Billy. Kim was curious about which rookie would make Cuban willing to make such a big sacrifice. After all, Caron. Butler is a big part of the Mavericks' regular rotation lineup. Without him, the Mavericks' reserves at the small forward position will be very empty.

In the end, it's Paul. George, Gordon. Hayward or Xavier. What about Henry? However Kuban said that the name, Billy. Kim didn't expect it at all.

"Yiyang! I need you to help me pick Yiyang in the third pick! As soon as you take him off, the deal is instant! Kuban knows that he is only one step away from Yiyang!

Billy. Kim thought for a moment and looked at the absent-minded Chinese rookie under the luxury box. Boy, get ready for surprises.

"Deal!"

β€»β€»β€»

Right now......

Yiyang stood in front of the stage, and countless cameras filmed frantically at him and Stern. Mougins even raised his camera, unwilling to miss any shots!

After that, Yiyang and Stern jointly lifted a Nets jersey. At this moment, all Chinese fans are boiling, this is another Chinese player who has been selected in the lotto area after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian!

"Congratulations, lad." Stern patted Yiyang on the shoulder, with the addition of this guy, the Chinese market is even more open to the NBA!

Yiyang smiled stiffly and nodded at Stern, he still didn't know what was going on! Why would a team that has never been in contact with itself suddenly pick itself out?

After stepping down, Yiyang could not return to Bill immediately. Duffy's side. A group of basketball reporters surrounded this guard with a special skin color.

"How do you feel about being the third Chinese player in NBA history to be drafted in the lotto!?" A Chinese reporter squeezed in to ask the first question.

"I'm excited." Yiyang's indifferent expression and flat tone made the reporters completely unable to see where this guy was excited.

"Is there anything you would like to say to the team when you join the New Jersey Nets? After all, they just had Chinese player Yi Jianlian last season. ”

"I'm honored."

The reporters were suddenly a little speechless, and it was likely that this was the most indifferent rookie they had ever met. In fact, it wasn't that Yiyang was pretending to be indifferent, but that he really didn't know what was going on. This kid from Wood was still in a state of confusion.

"Oh, look!" Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, a reporter pointed to the big screen with a surprised face.

Yiyang looked in the direction of the reporter's finger, and the latest transaction information appeared on the big screen at the scene.

"The Dallas Mavericks send Caron. Butler, Steve. Novak, a 2011 first-round pick, to get the right to sign Yiyang from the New Jersey Nets and Dan. Gazurich. As soon as the news came out, everyone knew that Gazuric was just an add-on to make the Nets spend a little less. In other words, Cuban is trading a former All-Star for a rookie!

"Oh my God! The Kuban is crazy! ”

"Yiyang? Traded? ”

"Great! I'm also worried that Yiyang won't be able to survive under Delong! ”

"Have you forgotten that the Mavericks still have a Kidd?"

"Kidd? Kidd is old! The Mavericks need fresh blood! Besides, it's better to play next to Kidd than to play next to Delong, who is in his playing years! ”

The reporters had become ordinary fans at the moment, and they were talking about the deal so angrily that they forgot that the protagonist of the incident was right in front of them.

Yiyang looked at his name and the Mavericks' logo on the big screen, as well as the chatter and discussion of the fans in the entire arena.

The boy shook his head helplessly and sighed. Professional basketball, sure enough, is a complicated thing......

In any case, now Yiyang is finally down-to-earth. After all, Dallas is much more reliable than New Jersey. Anyway, Yiyang also tried out in Dallas.

Regardless of the outcome, Yiyang's career path has been opened. Dallas? So, let's start flying from Dallas!

Pro basketball, I'm coming!
