131. Digging Nas: The lottery is over;
In the next two days, Yang Fan took his assistant coach Plino to start his journey to Houston.
That's right, Yang Fan's goal this time is naturally to be the head coach of the Raptors in the past life Nick Nass.
Speaking of Nas, we have to talk about his excellent coaching ability. In the first year of Nas' office, he led the Raptors to defeat the Warriors, thus winning the championship trophy of the next season.
However, in that season, Nas was the award for the best coach who missed it, but as the saying goes, gold shines everywhere.
In the second season, with Leonard and Danny Green leaving the team one after another, no one was optimistic that this Raptors could still become a powerful team in the East.
It was in this situation that Nas led the Raptors, led by Siakam, to make a comeback in their second season and remained in the top five in the East.
In the end, he defeated coaches Budenholzer and Donovan that season and was successfully elected as the coach of the year of the season, perfectly proving to people what strength is.
Under normal circumstances, Nass will not return to the NBA to serve as an assistant coach in 2013. At present, Nass is serving as the head coach of the Development League Vipers, and leading the Vipers has always been the top combat force in the Development League.
This time when he went to the Viper Team, why did Yang Fan insist on taking Plino with him? It was because Plino was enough to recruit Nas.
After all, Yang Fan really felt tired after running around.
Of course, he took the opportunity to travel to Houston in the name of a business trip, and he and Yao continued their journey.
Well, in fact, Yang Fan hasn't tasted Chinese food for a long time, especially the food in Yao Ming Restaurant has always been obsessed with.
So when he finally had time, Yang Fan felt that it would be a bit of a sin if he didn’t reward his appetite well!!
Anyway, the whole process is reimbursed by public funds, so Yang Fan does not have to be frugal at all.
As for psychological pressure, it will not exist at all. With the team that Yang Fan has built for Thunder, this is simply an invisible set of wealth, and it is the kind that cannot be bought for no amount of money.
When he arrived in Houston, Yang Fan first ordered Plino to go to the designated location to find Nas, and then he took a taxi and went to Yao Ming's restaurant.
Before coming, Yang Fan did not tell Yao Ming that he would come, mainly because Yang Fan didn't want to bother Yao, and he always thought about his good brothers.
Yang Fan swore that he was definitely not greedy for the food in Yao Ming’s restaurant, so he couldn’t wait to go alone.
It’s just because Yang Fan really doesn’t want to bother Yao!!
After all, Yao Yao had just finished the Western Conference semi-finals at this time, and he was still in a weak state. Yang Fan felt that he should think more about him.
Well...yes, that's it!!
…………
May 26.
With the attention of many fans, the NBA lottery conference was officially held today.
For teams who are still fighting in the NBA playoffs, they don’t have time to watch, and for the NBA playoffs that have been eliminated, they are too lazy to watch.
After all, it has nothing to do with your own team. If you see too much, you will feel depressed.
Especially for the teams that were eliminated 4:0 directly into the playoffs, this is a fucking loss...
However, if others are not paying attention to it, Yang Fan doesn't know that Yang Fan is lying on the sofa at home that day and keeps paying attention to the lottery conference.
First of all, the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick are exactly the same as in previous lives, and are picked by the Clippers and the Grizzlies respectively.
The Tanhua Tag, which was supposed to belong to Thunder, was won by the lucky Bobcats in this life.
As for whether the Bobcats will use Tanhua to pick me, Deng, at this year's draft, Yang Fan is really not sure about this.
Although he is very envious of James Harden and Yang Fan, Harden's draft pick will definitely not be lower than the top 4.
Judging from the current situation of the Thunder, it is still a bit difficult to defeat him, and at least the price to pay is too expensive.
Finally, after comprehensive consideration, Yang Fan felt that this wave must be a huge profit.
As for James Harden, Yang Fan was not worried at all, because judging by Harden's resilience to stay up late to memorize the rules of the league, it was only a matter of time before he could gain value.
Simply put, as long as you don’t go to the Lakers, Heat and Celtics, there is actually no big difference for Harden which team to go to.
If you should say it, maybe Harden will be fooled by Yang Fan in the future. Anyway, no one can explain the future. Since it cannot be obtained, what Yang Fan can do is just wait and see.
In the next draft picks, 4, 5, and 6 were also not in any way different from their previous life. When they reached the seventh pick, Yang Fan was obviously nervous.
It was not until Yang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the seventh pick in the first round was still taken off by the Warriors.
Then he turned off the TV without any nostalgia, turned around and prepared to devote himself to the nervous and exciting "World of Warcraft"!!
"Ring~Ring~Ring"
As soon as he turned on the computer, Yang Fan's cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it and found that it was General Manager Prosty.
Although Yang Fan really wanted to hang up the phone directly, after thinking about it in his mind, Yang Fan found that he did not have a good excuse, so he could only helplessly press the answer button.
"Yang, have you watched the lottery draw? As expected, the Warriors won the seventh draft pick in the first round."
"What should we do next? Should we continue to wait or start trying to communicate with the Warriors."
Hearing Prostie’s question, Yang Fan logged in to World of Warcraft account very skillfully, and replied without hesitation:
"Should wait for another two or three days, otherwise we will come to us just after they got the pick, which will inevitably seem too utilitarian."
"Don't worry, let them go for two days first. I will send you the core content of this transaction to you by email later. If you check it, you will have a bottom line in your heart."
"As for how you want to negotiate and perform in this process, it depends on yourself. After all, this kind of thing is your strength, so I have nothing to help you."
"The Suns don't have to worry. At present, you just need to keep in touch with them and wait until the deal with the Warriors is reached before operating there."
"Anyway, the Suns will definitely be anxious, because looking at the entire league, there will be no more excellent chips like us who are willing to exchange for 37-year-old O'Neal."
Listening to Yang Fan's confident voice on the other end of the phone, Prosti also felt at ease at the first moment.
After all, Yang Fan has never messed up the operations he has taken for such a long time, and Prostie is still very relieved about this.
"Okay, then you'll send me the email later and leave the follow-up matters to me. If nothing unexpected happens, you just need to wait for good news at home."
"OK! Then I wish you success in advance! Okay, I still have something to do here. I haven't finished writing some plans for team trading yet, so I'll quit first. If you have any questions, call me!!"
Just when Prosti finished hearing this sentence, he was about to tell Yang Fan to pay more attention to rest and not to be too tired, he suddenly heard a sound from the other end of the phone:
"Orcs, never be slaves!"
For the same
Chapter completed!
