In the summer of 2008, the "Seattle Supersonics" moved home to Oklahoma City in "Oklahoma".

The team was also officially renamed "Oklahoma City Thunder".

In 2008, after a brief legal battle, team owner Bennett reached an agreement with the City of Seattle to leave the team's original name and color to Seattle.

So that one day the city's new team can be used, and at the same time brings a team of its own to "Oklahoma City", named the Thunder.

"Coach Yang Fan, Coach Yang Fan."

As if he heard someone calling his name, Yang Fan, who was distracted, slowly returned to his senses.

"Well..., huh? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. What did you say just now?"

Yang Fan smiled embarrassedly at the man in front of him. The man in front of him was more than 40 years old and was the team's number one scout named Paca.

It's very easy to remember. I can't forget him after taking a look, because his head is too "bald".

"It's okay, it's okay. I just want to ask you for confirmation. Are we really going to complete this transaction? Once this transaction is about to be carried out, it cannot be changed."

"Although all teams can trade draft picks in the draft, if it is almost time for us to choose people, it will be more difficult to make a trade."

Even though Yang Fan was a little distracted just now, Paka still showed more respect for Yang Fan.

Although the young man in front of him is only 33 years old this year, this will not affect his position in the team at all.

"Well, the deal continues, and it should be done as early as possible. There is nothing else, but you must win the draft pick with the 45th pick in the second round."

"It's no problem whether to trade upwards with two draft picks or add cash."

"If the draft pick at the end of the last second round can be exchanged for the best next year, it is acceptable if it really doesn't work, because it's hard to choose a truly useful person in that ranking."

Without any hesitation, Yang Fan said to the man in front of him.

Although his tone of speaking was very polite, it can be seen from Yang Fan's eyes that he seemed determined to win this draft pick deal.

"Okay, I'll do it now. We have the draft pick in the second round of 46, so it's still easier to trade up to the 45th pick."

Without extra embellishment, after confirming this issue, Paca walked out of the box, probably to discuss the draft pick with other teams.

After Paca left, there were three people in the small private room.

In addition to Yang Fan sitting on one side with frown, there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses on the other side, and the other man stood behind him, obviously headed by the middle-aged man in front of him.

The room seemed quieter, and not long after, this quietness was broken by a notification.

“congratulationstothechicagobulls forpickingderekcrossfromtheuniversityofmemphisinthefirstround!”

As the sound from the stage came out, there was warm applause from below.

And a young man stood up from below, first shook hands with his friends beside him and thanked each other, then hugged his family tightly, with tears in his eyes, and he tried to keep it from staying.

Then he walked onto the stage and stood beside Stern and held Mike and said something.

However, Yang Fan didn't hear all this, but just frowned and stared at Derek Ross on the stage, squirming up and down his mouth, as if he was talking to himself.

"It turns out to be true. It seems that I am destined to be unable to go back..."

Seeing Yang Fan sitting alone on the side frowning, the middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, I know you're the first year as the head coach of the NBA team, but your team-leading record in NCAA is so good that this kind of scene shouldn't scare you."

"As we agreed before, Paka has already done those things for you, and his personal abilities are still very guaranteed, so don't worry too much."

Looking back at the middle-aged man wearing glasses next to him, Yang Fan smiled apologetically first, and then slowly replied:

"No, this kind of scene won't embarrass me. I just suddenly figured out something, it doesn't matter."

"So don't worry about me, Mr. Sam, we will definitely get a big harvest in this year's draft."

At this time, the person sitting in front of Yang Fan was no one else, but the general manager of the Thunder team, Sam Prostie.

That’s right, Sam Prosty, the best general manager of the league, produced by the Thunder in the later generations, is definitely a fine product and is known as the star conveyor!!!

The reason why Yang Fan frowned just now was because all this came too suddenly.

Anyone who suddenly appears in a foreign land as soon as he opens his eyes, may be stunned for a few days to think about his life.

If it weren't for the time travel novels in later generations so developed, Yang Fan wouldn't have accepted his current identity so easily.

Maybe I will be arrested and went to a mental hospital for a mental examination.

Yang Fan in his previous life was a basketball coach at a domestic pheasant university. Of course, he is the kind of person who may know the name when he mentions college, but when you say big balls and basketball teams, others will show a look of surprise on their faces.

Before, because of having a dinner with colleagues on campus, Yang Fan drank a little too much on the dining table. When he got home, Yang Fan planned to take a shower and go to bed.

As a result, after taking a shower, I accidentally slipped and my head happened to hit the corner of the fish tank in the hall, and I lost consciousness in an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to the United States.

Yang Fan really knows what this place is. As a basketball coach, of course he knows what the NBA draft looks like.

But all this came too suddenly, which made Yang Fan always think that he seemed to be dreaming.

It was not until he had completely added some memories in his mind that he realized that this was not a damn dream?!

Maybe others will be very excited to travel through time, but for Yang Fan, he does not have much joy.

In his previous life, he was a very successful person. Although he was not married yet, he happened to find a sweet and lovely girlfriend.

The family is not very rich, but he is definitely a little rich second generation, otherwise he would not have been able to be a basketball coach in a university.

The most annoying thing is that the girlfriend I just dated didn’t even have time to hold her little hand. Now you told me that you have traveled through time?!!

Then time travel is time travel. After all, for Yang Fan, who likes to read novels, he already has the ability to bear it in his heart.

Although this man is also named Yang Fan, as an Asian, his parents are divorced and they break up in a relationship. What is the way?!

After I traveled back from time to time, I still had no girlfriend, and I was an old bachelor?!

This made Yang Fan feel a little crying in his heart.

But it is not all bad things. At least the original owner of this body has too much ability than him.

The original owner of this body has a very high basketball IQ and was originally a volunteer with no salary at Merrimak University in NCAA.

The job I do every day is to help the team edit game videos, and this clip takes a whole day.

In this kind of working environment, he has worked for several years, and this perseverance is worthy of praise.

Later, because he was smart and could do things and was down-to-earth, he was eventually transferred by the head coach of Merrimack University at the time to serve as an assistant coach.

After all, everyone knows exactly what the real purpose of coming to college to be a volunteer.

If you don’t do such a job with a salary, your ultimate goal is of course to become an orthodox basketball coach. Whether it is an assistant coach or a head coach, at least you want to step into this circle.

In the end, it was also because Merrimack University was missing the position of an assistant coach at that time, and Yang Fan had proved himself with his practical actions on weekdays, so he finally got this precious opportunity.

And he worked as an assistant coach for four years, which was of great help to the head coach at that time.

In the end, it was because the former head coach of Merrimack University switched to other schools for some reason, which gave Yang Fan the opportunity at that time.

Since it was not a breakup with the school's management, before leaving, the former head coach recommended Yang Fan as the acting head coach to the school.

It means that you can first observe Yang Fan's ability to lead the team, and if there is any problem, you can substitute people at any time.

This made Yang Fan very excited at that time. Although he was just an acting head coach and couldn't sit firmly, this kind of opportunity was once a lifetime.

Yang Fan, who eventually succeeded in acting head coach, led Merrimak University to make great progress, leading the team with surprisingly good results, even better than the former head coach.

However, these are just superficial things. What really made Yang Fan's name popular in NCAA was that in the black March of that year, Yang Fan led Merrimak University to the top four in the national competition.

And in the final four matches, the team successfully hit a winning three-pointer in the last 2.7 seconds with Yang Fan's incredible "bottom-up tactic" at the last moment.

Helping Merrimack University once again surprise Duke University led by legendary coach Lao K, and finally like a dark horse, helping the team's team history to enter the finals threshold in NCAA for the first time!!

Although in the finals, the team eventually lost to the giant Kansas University and missed the championship trophy.

But this was just the first year Yang Fan led the team at that time, and it was also that year that Yang Fan's name was completely popular in the NCAA University League.

In the next few years, Merrimak University, led by head coach Yang Fan, has been striving to become a strong team in NCAA.

And in the 2006 and 2007 seasons, Yang Fan led the team to win the NCAA championship trophy twice, completely allowing his name to spread throughout every corner of NCAA...
