The Kings general manager wanted to select Danny Rose in the second round, but Wang Yi shook his head and said:
"Please draft him in the first round."
The general manager hesitated.
Using a first-round pick to select a guy you have never heard of will definitely be laughed at by other teams, media reporters and thousands of fans.
He said that as a manager he was either crazy or stupid.
But in the end, considering that Wang Yi would not joke about such a thing, he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I will choose him!"
Wang Yi nodded: "Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Ross next to him nodded to Wang Yi: "Thank you."
Wang Yi looked at the traffic in front:
"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 will have to work hard to get it together."
…
At this time, after General Manager Divac hung up the phone, he was very excited as he recalled what Wang Yi had just said.
When the coaching staff asked Wang Yi for his opinion on the draft, Wang Yi was noncommittal.
This made the entire Kings team feel uneasy.
Because Wang Yi seems indifferent to the draft, does that mean Wang Yi is not willing to stay with the Kings next season?
Just because he doesn't want to stay with the team, it has nothing to do with him who the Kings choose, so he doesn't bother to care?
The more I think about it, the more I think it is.
This made the Kings team, from top to bottom to the boss, down to the coaches, uneasy for several days.
Now that Wang Yi has provided guidance for the draft, it means that Wang Yi will definitely stay with the Kings next season.
Otherwise, given Wang Yi's personality, if he does not stay with the Kings next season, he will not have any say in the Kings' draft.
Thinking of this, Divac excitedly waved his fist: "YES!"
Then he quickly dialed the boss’s phone number:
"Boss, is it easy for you to speak?"
The boss's phone is very private and the receiver is not loud.
Now, it would be rude to leave the customer behind to answer the phone.
So he said directly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Wang will stay with the Kings next season."
The excited voice of general manager Divac came from the receiver.
When the boss Ranadev heard this, he was overjoyed.
He quickly pointed to his mobile phone to the client, indicating that he would answer the call, and then he left the client directly in the office and went to the lounge next to him.
I don't care whether it's polite or impolite to do so.
After closing the lounge room door, his first question was: "Did he tell you that in person?"
Divac replied: "Although he didn't tell me personally, I could hear it from his words..."
Then he told the boss Ranadive about the rookie selected by Wang Yi.
Ranadive was also very excited when he heard this, and then gave instructions: "It doesn't matter whether we have heard of the rookie or not, and how talented he is. As long as Wang Yi is willing to stay, even if we choose two passers-by this year, it will be fine."
"But before it is decided at this time, we must not take it lightly. After the draft is over, we will negotiate the contract with Wang Yi immediately! We must be quick!"
"I understand boss!"
After Lala Dave hung up the phone, he felt refreshed and walked out of the lounge and came to the office.
My steps seemed to be much lighter.
The customer smiled and said, "Ranadev, it seems you look good."
Ranadive nodded: "Sorry, I was a little out of control just now. We will have dinner together later, and I will use this to make amends."
…
June 27.
The 2030 draft will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York.
This year is a weak year for the draft, and there are no particularly talented rookies.
So this year's draft was not as lively as in the past.
Basically most of the prospective rookies were present.
But Danny Rose wasn't there.
Because I know that I can’t choose at all, there is no need to spend such a long distance to go to the venue.
At this time, he was still serving dishes at the Owl Restaurant.
While serving the dishes, he occasionally glanced at the draft show being played on the restaurant screen.
There are also some regular customers near today's talent show who come here to watch.
The top pick, second pick and third overall pick are basically the same as everyone predicted.
Those are the three people.
According to media predictions, these three people will be able to reach the level of ordinary stars in the future.
As for the remaining people, they are unanimously not optimistic about it.
So the next draft is basically nothing to watch.
The draft continued and gradually came to the 27th pick in the first round, which was the pick held by the Kings.
Since Rose is now with the Kings, the fans at the Hooters restaurant stopped joking and paid special attention to the Kings draft.
"Let's see who the Kings can draft today."
"No matter who they choose, their picks are not high and the ones they choose are not talented."
Someone saw little Danny coming over with a plate at this time and joked:
"In my opinion, the talents of these remaining people are not as good as Danny Russell. Hey, little Danny, why don't you sign up for the elective competition. With your speed, you will definitely crush these scum in the draft."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The fans in the restaurant took it as a joke.
Little did they know that Danny Jr. had actually entered the draft.
It's just that all ordinary fans know are the guys with the most talent. They don't even bother to take a look at the names other than those guys, so they don't even know that little Danny has actually participated.
Little Danny didn't think he could be chosen, so he just smiled to himself:
"If I can be selected, wouldn't this draft be too rubbish?"
Everyone laughed again.
At this time, the Kings announced the player they selected with the 27th overall pick.
The host was a little confused when he read: "The Kings selected with the 27th overall pick in the first round... a guard from Chicago - Danny Russell."
As soon as this statement came out, the draft venue fell silent.
Everyone is a little confused.
After a while, they asked each other, who was this Danny Russell?
"Ah, is there anyone like this who signed up for the draft this year?"
"According to media predictions, this person is not included in the list of candidates for this year's draft."
Finally, a reporter went through everyone's draft list and found the last one: "Oh, yes, there is a Danny Russell, but he is only 1.65 meters tall and is not considered promising at all."
"He has never played in a high school league before. He has never played in a college league. Even in amateur games, he has participated in very few, so he has very little information, and no scouts have even paid attention to him."
This confused everyone.
