Chapter 86: A smooth draft

　　 While Green Kai and the Clippers management were chatting, the Lakers management was suddenly in a hurry!
　　 "Quick! Inform the Hornets, we want Corey Kidels at 13th"
　　Jerry West, who always looks gentle and elegant, is a bit gaffe at the moment, because their goal is cut off!
　　 was cut off by Richard!
　　 Originally West wanted to wait until the 12th pick was finished. They then gave Kobe's list to the Hornets, let the Hornets win Kobe with their thirteenth pick, and then use the team's starting center Divac to exchange for Kobe!
　　 They have basically determined that O’Neal will join the team, so center Divac is naturally useless. It’s better to trade a lottery lot...
　　 But now with Richard's involvement, West's plan is completely disrupted!
　　 He also knew that the Blazers got the Nets No. 8 pick!
　　 But he is the same as those of Adelman, thinking that Richard's goal is Brad Miller!
　　The elegant West, panicked at the moment, he did not expect that, besides him, there are people who are interested in this high school student guard!
　　 Even more terrifying is that, as far as he knows, Kobe has never tried the Trail Blazers!
　　Why? !
　　Why did Richard choose Kobe? !
　　The shock in West's heart couldn't be added, but even if he was panicking again, he forced himself to calm down and couldn't mess up!
　　 They also tried Kidels, knowing that Kidels is also a very good point guard.
　　 It's just that they didn't consider Kidels as the first choice. The main reason is that Kidles predicted that the pick was too high, and the Lakers didn't trade such a high pick.
　　 When the Hornets coach Cowans just learned that the Lakers wanted to choose Kidels, he did not feel surprised.
At that time, the Lakers had been asking the Hornets for two months. From the beginning of May until the end of June, the Hornets finally saw that the Lakers were really sincere, and sold it to the legendary West. The face, the final day before the draft began to agree Lakers transaction request!
　　Now the Lakers want to use this lottery pick to choose Kidels, Cowens feels that the Lakers are definitely making...
　　The Lakers' chip Divac is not a terrible bargaining chip. He can get a high-quality rookie like Kidels. Anyway, Cowens feels that the Lakers have earned this wave of operations.
　　……
　　Richard saw that the Hornets chose Kidders at the 13th pick, and he knew that 80% of them were a temporary choice for the Lakers.
　　Richard is still quite optimistic about the Lakers' choice...
　　 Kidders' strength is not bad, he can score an average of 16.4 points per game in the rookie season. This is also a top-notch presence among the rookies gathered in the 96th star season, which is entirely worthy of his pick...
　　 Even if he can rise normally, not to mention catching up with Kobe, at least it is the level of the league's first-line point guard.
　　The only thing is injury...
　　After playing the first two seasons with outstanding performances, Kidels suffered from injuries. The result was that the performance was not as good as one year, and he finally retired after seven or eight seasons.
　　 But now his destiny has been changed, and no one can say what he will be able to fight in the future!
　　Not to mention anything else, after he arrived at the Lakers, he must have started from the bench, because the Lakers are not weak in the backcourt today, he is estimated that he will not get too many playing opportunities like Kobe in the first two seasons...
　　 may be because the previous two seasons did not consume a lot of body, and later will not be full of injuries.
　　……
　　 Peja and Nash were selected by the 14th and 15th picks respectively, and the 16th pick was still the Hornets. They chose the unknown point guard Tony Delk...
　　 Richard was secretly distressed about the Hornets’ plan to deal with these two picks.
　　Think carefully, it seems that if you joined the Hornets, it should be a good choice. After all, they have two first-round draft picks in their hands, and the picks are not low...
　　 "I announced that Portland Trail Blazers chose Jermaine O'Neal from Oakler High School in the first round with the 17th pick!"
　　 "Wow..." The scene was another uproar, and the Blazers chose a high school student player!
　　 And the player's age is so small that he is only 17 and a half years old!
Kobe Bryant, who was just selected with the first round of the eighth pick, actually produced a record at the moment he was selected. That is the youngest player in the draft history. Today Kobe is actually under 18 years old. His birthday is at the end of August, so right now It is 17 years old with 10 months!
　　 But Kobe’s record was broken by O’Neal only for half an hour!
　　 O'Neal's birthday is October!
　　 "God! Richard does not think this is NCAA? Have you chosen such a young high school student?"
　　 "He may not have adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, ignoring the game where the NBA is an adult..."
　　 "I still say that, Richard is a lunatic!"
　　Everyone is not optimistic about the choice of the Blazers, because O’Neal is too young!
　　 The uproar at the scene did not make any expression on Richard's face.
　　Richard is thinking about it, when these people know that Kobe is also his own win, what expression will be? It is estimated that it will be more surprised than now!
　　Using two precious first round picks, two consecutive minors were selected...
　　……
O'Neal had a trial with the Trail Blazers in mid-June. The result of the trial was not particularly satisfactory, but Richard still resolutely took him off~EbookFREE.me~If next season Xia Wusheng, after two seasons, and then picking up Artest, the protagonist of the Auburn Hills Palace event will be alive...
　　……
　　After picking O'Neal, Richard next waited for the big book quietly...
　　 If there is any team that is willing to sign a big book with the first round of signing if there is a big scam and no trial training, it can only show that this team is willing to reuse the big book!
　　 This is true love...
　　 And this situation, Richard is completely acceptable!
　　 What he couldn't accept was that his disciples went to other people's teams and became the patron saint of drinking fountains on the bench!
　　……
　　 Soon, all 29 of the first round were selected!
　　Richard's heart grabbed. Whether he could get a big book depends on the next few choices!
　　The Timberwolves have the fourth pick in the second round!
　　After a few minutes, Richard was relieved, because the first three picks in the second round did not choose big.
　　 "I announced that the Minnesota Timberwolves chose Ben Wallace from Purdue University in the fourth round of the second round!"
　　 Alliance Vice President Adam Xiaohua's voice sounded like a natural sound in Richard!
　　 Until Big Ben was picked, this draft conference is already over for Richard and the Blazers!
　　The only thing they have to do next is to help Cari Perry take off his favorite second-round player...
　　Everything went smoothly without any accidents!
　　 There was no situation of being cut off!
This is a good beginning!
　　 "I hope that the future NBA journey will be as smooth as today's draft!" Richard said with a smile.
