Seeing Bob Sweet like that, maybe he really slapped his forehead at the beginning.

Morris Chicks quipped: "You regret it now? I didn't expect this guy to be so popular, but the Grizzlies have already chosen the candidate. If you break the contract, will it have a bad impact on your next job?"

"No, I refuse to have a legitimate reason. The reality is that they want to reduce the bargaining chips given to us. The logo man lowered the price after choosing the rookie."

"He lowered the price, isn't he afraid that we wouldn't trade and it would be ruined? They chose another point guard behind them, and they probably didn't plan to keep it for themselves."

"They have other next deals."

"who?"

"Lakes."

Morris Chicks was really surprised this time: "The Lakers thought of getting that rookie? Bob, is it possible that the logo man just used the Lakers to reduce the price?"

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter. First, satisfy your boss and your needs. If you lose a little, you will lose a little. Anyway, I'm going to resign soon. If you didn't say you wanted to choose that rookie, I would have resigned long ago."

Morris Chicks felt so casual, and Bunch Wells, a top-notch forward swayer in the league, just handled it casually.

But that's the current situation of their Trail Blazers... Shaking his head, he said, "It seems that I need to rethink how to arrange this lottery show."

Bob Sweet was surprised: "I thought your vision was the same as the logo man. Didn't you suggest me to choose him because you were optimistic about the rookie?"

Morris Chicks honestly replied: "I don't have much confidence in his talent or combat power."

"Then why did you choose him?"

Morris Chicks said: "The strength of our newcomer is not the most important thing. Whether we can withstand those pressures is more important. It is more important to show our strength under such pressure. He has talent in this area."

"This is also talent..." Bob Sweet was so distressed but had to admit: "I understand, then the Knicks want to choose him should be the same as yours."

The Trail Blazers and the Knicks have one common feature - newcomers will be bullied.

But Liu Xiu, the rookie...

Bob Sweet recalled how energetic he and Morris Chicks came to the Trail Blazers two years ago. Who knew that the team he got was such.

They don't want to make things right? Of course, they just want to do it, but they are working hard, just like the general manager of the Knicks also wants to make things right and work hard.

But such things cannot be done by thinking about it or doing it.

The Trail Blazers and the Knicks are two big pits!

Fortunately, he is about to jump out of this pit.

Morris Chicks knew that Bob Sweet had confirmed to leave the team, and considering the team's gains and losses was only due to professional qualities. After Bob Sweet left, he still worked under Paul Allen's command and went to Paul Allen's other professional team, Seattle Seahawks.

Thinking of this, Morris Chicks was really envious, but he didn't have the ability to coach other projects. His old friend was about to leave, and he still had to struggle in this quagmire.

'The Lakers want our rookie, probably because the logo man suggested it. Even if we don't agree to him to reduce the price, he may stay by himself or actually trade to the Lakers...'

Morris Chicks originally wanted to choose a substitute who could gain a foothold in the team. Now, his emphasis on the newly selected rookie has increased a lot.

...

At the same time, in the suite of Grizzlies general manager Jerry West, in addition to Jerry West, Lakers general manager Mickey Kupcheck.

"Mickey, we have sent NO.13 to Portland, and it's too late for you to regret it now."

Jerry West wants Bunch Wells, but the Lakers also have the people Jerry West wants. Devin George, Medvedonko and other role players are also very good for the Grizzlies and can help the Lakers create a future. Of course, Jerry West is more willing to trade with the Lakers.

His relationship with the Lakers has not been ten years, and it is so weak in twenty years.

"We don't have time, Jerry, Kobe doesn't want to wait, Shaq doesn't want to wait, we don't have time to wait. If we can't win the championship immediately, the OK combination you created will be gone."

Jerry West was speechless when he heard this. Leave a full-level account and can he actually play a game?

He has been away for a year!

But it is not easy to think about Kupchek. In fact, this successor is not very good at speaking.

If he takes the initiative himself, after three consecutive championships, he will send away some of the heroes who won the championship for various reasons after the start of the new season to rebuild the role player lineup for the future. If the boss does not agree, then it will be hyped that he, the general manager, insists on his own actions and does not allow the boss who cherishes his feathers to take responsibility.

With his past experience, no matter how he is criticized, he will not shake his position. Since he became the general manager of the Lakers in 1982, he won 6 championships for the Lakers.

After the operation bears fruit, if the fruit is good, the people who have criticized before will immediately turn the gun and blow it up. Even if it fails, the pressure has been overwhelmed and you can do it again.

But Kupchek couldn't do it. Kupchek really did that. The Lakers had no reason to keep him and couldn't wait for him to bear fruit.

Not everyone can take the blame.

Kupchek didn't want this sad thing anymore, so he asked something interesting: "Jerry, that rookie is really talented?"

Jerry West thought of the information he got from his old friend Jim Boyheim, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, but you can bet, so I suggest you choose him in the 24th pick. I just didn't expect the Knicks and the Grizzlies to lift him to the 13th pick, but the 13th pick is also worth a bet."

"Then why don't you keep him?"

"If I were still the Lakers manager, I would choose to keep him. The Lakers can afford to bet, but the Grizzlies can't."

"So you didn't even go to the scene in person for the draft, but asked your assistant to go there, because you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to help but buy the lottery again?"

In this pun, Jerry West laughed and said, "Maybe I will be the next Bob Bath?"

"Then I have to observe this rookie carefully to see if our logo guy will be embarrassed."

Bob Buss, a very powerful NBA management staffer, has been working in the NBA for more than 30 years since 1967. His most famous operation was to choose Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick in the 1996 draft. After holding it for more than ten days, he traded it to the Lakers in mid-July 1996 to exchange for All-Star center Vlad Divac.

Kupchek was willing to bet at the beginning, but Jerry West strongly recommended it in the 24th pick and did not insist on the 13th pick.

After all, things like Tao Yizhu are gambling.

Obviously, Jerry West bets when he was the 24th pick in the draft. He wouldn't lose too much if he lost. He ranked 13th pick in the draft year... After all, that's Kobe!

It was completely unexpected that Liu Xiu's ranking was promoted to the thirteenth ranking.

...

...

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Liu Xiu woke up from his sleep, and his biological clock was very good.

But Anthony was so excited that he fell asleep until dawn, and now he slept like a pig.

Liu Xiu came back from breakfast alone, looked at the system screen that was still simulated training, yawned, lay on the bed, turned on the TV, and turned the sound down so as not to disturb Anthony.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu was not actually lazy.

But as he trains with simulations, he becomes more lazy.

He has despised himself many times and wanted to get out of his comfort zone.

But it's really comfortable...

It was even a pity that his sleep quality was so good due to system reasons that he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to sleep in.

Not long after, the system prompted it.

"The basic skills of playing the board and laying the ball for 2 hours, the basic skills of combining the ball for 1 hour, the three-point shooting for 1 hour and 22 minutes. The simulation training has ended. It takes 191 cure points to be used to extract the simulation training results. Is it extracted?"

Simulation training can set which items to train, duration, and order, but after the 'remaining strength' is exhausted, the simulation training will not continue.

‘Is it 4 hours and 22 minutes? The competition season has been shorter. Fortunately, there will be a summer league in more than ten days. Now it is the most important thing to improve your strength.’

Liu Xiu lay down, grabbed the quilt with both hands, bit the quilt with his mouth, and silently recited the extraction in his heart.

"Consuming 191 cure values, simulation training results are being extracted..."

As soon as the new prompt came, Liu Xiu felt a soreness all over his body... he almost screamed.

pain!

But the degree of this pain is not enough to be really painful, to be precise, it is sour.

After a few more times, it's a bit cool...

A few seconds later, Liu Xiu's hands and mouth relaxed at the same time, suppressing the sound and squirting out a breath.

The sourness comes and goes quickly. After the sourness passes, he can't feel any changes.

The improvement brought by training cannot be seen overnight.

The most important thing is that after those few seconds of soreness, it’s fine, unlike the “sourness” the next day after actually consuming the extreme physical strength.

Relying on the head of the bed, Liu Xiu looked at Anthony who was still sleeping, turned his head and looked at the TV, but he thought about his uncertain future.

Liu Xiu was too good at distracted. Two hours passed in a flash. At around ten o'clock, the doorbell rang, interrupting Liu Xiu's dispersed thinking.

‘Who is this time?’

Liu Xiu stood up and opened the door. It turned out to be Bill Duffy.

Bill Duffy was in contact with Anthony at first, but later he learned that Liu Xiu was also looking for an agent, so he formed a relationship with Yao Ming and signed Liu Xiu together.

Bill Duffy signed more than just Liu Xiu and Anthony this year. He signed more than ten people, with three selected ones. Another one was selected in the middle of the second round, named Willie Green, who was traded to the 76ers after the selection.

However, those who were not selected did not give up. Instead, these unselected rookies are what makes Bill Duffy very busy at the moment.

Bill Duffy has to find a way out for these people, and of course, it is actually to make his wallet stronger. He has to pay a commission for these people to find a job.

Anthony made an appointment to meet with the Nuggets at 2:00 pm. I don’t know where Liu Xiu went. I contacted each team this morning, hoping to put the undrafted team in a certain team to play in the summer league and strive to get a contract.

Liu Xiu asked: "Bill, why are you here? Didn't Carmelo go to meet with the Nuggets in the afternoon?"

Bill Duffy's expression is not very good, and Liu Xiu feels that something is wrong.
To be continued...
