General Manager of the King wanted to choose Danny Ross in the second round, but Wang Yi shook his head and said:

"Please choose him in the first round."

The general manager hesitated for a moment.

Using a first-round draft pick and choosing a guy you have never heard of before will definitely be ridiculed by other teams, media reporters and thousands of fans.

Saying that he is either crazy or stupid is said to be a manager.

But in the end, he still gritted his teeth considering that Wang Yi would not joke about such things.

"Okay, I'll choose him!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Rose next to him nodded to Wang Yi: "Thank you."

Wang Yi looked at the traffic ahead:

"You have to make it clear to him that our help is secondary. The most important thing is to rely on his own efforts. If he is not tall enough, he has to work hard to get it."

...

At this time, after the general manager Divac hung up the phone, he recalled Wang Yi's words just now, and he was very excited.

When the coaching team went to ask Wang Yi for his opinions on the draft, Wang Yi did not comment.

This made the entire Kings team feel uneasy.

Because Wang Yi looks indifferent to the draft, does that mean that Wang Yi is unwilling to stay with the Kings next season?

It is precisely because he is unwilling to stay in the team that it has nothing to do with him who chooses the Kings, so he is too lazy to care about it?

The more I think about it, the more I feel it is.

This made the Kings not at ease from top to boss and down to those coaches for several days.

Now that Wang Yi has given guidance for the draft, it means that Wang Yi will definitely stay with the Kings next season.

Otherwise, with Wang Yi's character, if he does not stay with the Kings next season, he will not be criticizing the Kings' draft.

Thinking of this, Divac waved his fist excitedly: "YES!"

Then he quickly called the boss:

"Boss, is it easy for you to speak?"

The boss's phone is very private, and the earpiece is not loud.

Now it is a bit rude to leave the customer behind and answer the phone.

So he said directly: "Speak whatever you have."

"The king will stay with the king next season."

The excited voice of general manager Divac was heard from the earpiece.

When the boss Ranadave heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

He quickly pointed to the customer's cell phone and signaled himself to answer the phone. Then he threw the customer directly in the office and headed to the lounge next to him.

I don't care about being polite or rude in this way.

After closing the lounge and housing gate, he asked the first sentence: "Did he tell you personally?"

Divac replied: "Although he didn't tell me in person, I can tell this from his words..."

Then he told his boss Ranadave about Wang Yi's appointment to choose the rookie.

Lanadave was also very excited when he heard this, and then instructed: "Don't bother with that rookie or not, what is the talent. As long as Wang Yi is willing to stay, even if we choose two passers-by this year."

"But before we decide this, we must not take it lightly. After the draft is over, we will immediately negotiate a contract with Wang Yi! It must be fast!"

…

"I understand the boss!"

After Lara Dave hung up the phone, he felt refreshed and walked out of the lounge and came to the office.

The steps seemed to be much lighter.

The client smiled and said, "Ranadave, it seems you look good."

Ranadave nodded: "Sorry, I was a little out of control just now. We will have dinner together later, so I will use this to apologize."

...

June 27.

The 2030 draft was held at the Garden Arena of Madison Square, New York.

This year is the Little Year of the Draft, and there are no particularly outstanding rookies.

So this year's draft is not as lively as before.

Basically most prospective rookies are present.

But Danny Ross was not present.

Because I knew I couldn't choose at all, there was no need to spend that fare to go to the scene.

At this time, he was still serving plates in the Owls Restaurant.

While holding the plates, I glanced at the talent show played on the restaurant screen from time to time.

There are also some frequent customers coming here to watch today's talent show.

The top scorers, second-tier and Tanhua, are basically the same as everyone predicts.

It was those three people.

According to media forecasts, these three people will be able to reach the level of ordinary stars in the future.

As for the remaining people, they are unanimous.

So the next draft basically has no highlights.

The draft continued and gradually came to the 27th pick in the first round, which is the draft pick held by the Kings.

Since Rose is now in the Kings, the fans of the Owls Restaurant have stopped joking, especially the Kings' draft.

"Look at who the Kings can choose today."

"No matter who they choose, their ranking is not high, and those who choose are not talented."

Someone saw Little Danny coming over with a plate and joked:

"In my opinion, the remaining people are not as talented as Danny Russell. Hi, Danny, why don't you sign up for the elective conference? At your speed, you will definitely crush these scumbags at the draft."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

These fans in the restaurant just pretended to be a joke.

They didn't know that Danny Jr. had actually been in the draft.

But what ordinary fans know are the guys who choose the most talented ones. For names other than those guys, they don’t even bother to take a look, so they don’t know at all. In fact, Danny has already participated.

Little Danny didn't think he could choose, so he just smiled with a self-deprecating smile:

"If I can choose them all, wouldn't this draft be too trash?"

Everyone laughed again.

At this time, the Kings announced the players they selected with the 27th pick in the handwheel.

The host was a little confused when he was reading: "The Kings selected the 27th pick in the first round...Danny Russell, the defender from Chicago."

As soon as this statement came out, the talent show suddenly became quiet.

Everyone was a little confused.

After a while, they asked each other who Danny Russell was?

"Ah, is there anyone who signed up for the draft this year?"

"According to media forecasts, there is no such person on the list of candidates that can be selected for this year's draft."

Finally, a reporter checked the list of everyone participating in the draft and found the last one: "Oh, there is a Danny Russell, but he is only 1.65 meters tall and is not favored at all."

"I haven't played in the high school league before, nor have I played in the college league. He even participated in amateur games, so he has very little information, and no scouts have even been to him."
