Chapter 239: Double reed (1)

On the day of the June 26th draft, in addition to the shocking deal between the Celtics and the Timberwolves, there are other deals completed. One>Fiction ﹤＜﹤﹤﹤﹤＜﹤≦＜≦≦≦≤≦﹤The Milwaukee Bucks sent the team’s guard Keith Bogans to the Magic in exchange for some cash; the Philadelphia 76ers took the team’s Par Texel Morlande sent to Seattle to get Will Green; and the Phoenix Suns traded the 2oo5 round pick to the Spurs, got the Spurs and got Brazilian guard Rio in the draft. Barbosa. In addition, there are two small short contracts to send out sales to obtain cash and space, and the combined weight of these transactions is not comparable to Celtic transactions.
So after the end of the draft, the attention of two people rose sharply. One is naturally Danny Angie. As the clear-cut manipulator of this deal, he was basically locked by the media as the best next season after the deal was completed. Candidates for the best managers.
In the media meeting room of Madison Square Garden, Angie was also besieged by reporters, asking various details about the transaction. However, although Angie has completed the transaction, what has happened before? Why did Garnett, who has always been loyal, agree to be traded, and how the Timberwolves are willing to make this decision, although Angie has a general picture in his mind. , But he knew nothing about the details, because Leon did it all!
Therefore, Angie can only vaguely say that he is very happy to get Garnett, hope that Garnett can achieve greater success in the Celtics, how good a player Garnett is, etc., and then hurriedly said. Leave to deal with the two rookies.
Another one who has increased his attention in this draft is the New York reporter Oj, because 2o minutes before the Timberwolves and Celtics completed the transaction, Oj updated this trading rumor on his official blog homepage. , Statement: According to reliable sources, the Celtics and Timberwolves have reached an agreement, and the Celtics will get Kevin Garnett.
This blog post did not receive much attention when it was first published. At the time, people’s attention was focused on the top five draft candidates, but after 20 minutes, when the nBa official news reported that the Celtics and the Timberwolves When the transaction application had been submitted to the Union Office, people knew that Oj was once again unpredictable. As early as last summer, oj became a little hotter because of the early language of Michael Jordan's comeback. This time, the announcement of the big deal early made oj's reputation suddenly risen.
Of course, oj will not let go of this good opportunity to expand his reputation. For reporters, reputation is their lifeline, just like a player’s skills. The more prosperous the reputation, the more audiences, the more audiences and the more resources they receive. Many, this is a virtuous circle.
Unlike Angie, in this Garnett transaction, although he is not a direct participant, as a friend of Leon, he knows many details. For example, the tabloid that first released the rumors about the Timberwolves trading yin and yang contracts was written by a small reporter who Fox-Lion knew, and the letters he wrote to the league office afterwards were also his own.
Of course, oj won't talk about such things to the outside world. As a participant, he also calculated his strength. During the Eastern Conference Finals, the media people who had dinner with Leon and watched the yacht race more or less contributed to it. And the benefit they get together is that they can share Leon’s scouts in the United States. Therefore, several newspapers in New York of this draft have carried out in-depth reports, and they have also caused a strong response among the fans. Sales skyrocketed every day.
Oj is also ready to start in-depth follow-up reports on the Celtics transaction after the draft is over. With his relationship with Leon, he can definitely get more valuable inside information.
After nine o'clock in the evening, the drama finally came to an end. The audience left the stadium, and the staff began to clean up the temporary stands. The selected rookies went with the team managers with their vision and expectations for the future. Have a good night. Those young people who are not selected have to pack their bags, prepare to wander around the basketball circle and find a job opportunity.
For Oj who has spent a fulfilling night, he still has uncontrollable excitement in his heart. He is happy for the successful completion of the transaction planned by his friend for more than a year, and at the same time, he is also happy with the results of his years of hard work. I am finally excited to see the return. He knows that after this night, he will be promoted to the ranks of nBa's top journalists. Of course, his goal is much more than that.
After returning home, oj turned on his computer, boarded his blog, and prepared to write a live note of the 2oo3 draft conference to summarize today.
At this time, his mobile phone rang. It was a text message. When Oj saw the screen, it was Leon. He quickly opened the text message. There was only one sentence in it: Come to Washington, bring your pen and paper.
During the draft, Oj also felt very strange, why Leon never appeared on the scene, he remembered Leon had arrived in New York a few days ago. From this text message, it seems that Leon must be in Washington, and he asked himself to bring paper and pen, which actually means the same: there is news here.
For Leon, Oj is extremely trustworthy. He knows that Leon let him go, there must be big news. As a media person, Oj has the heart to report all big news. So after receiving this text message, he hurriedly called the airline and booked a flight to Washington at 3 am, regardless of whether it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and then hurriedly called his wife. He said hello and drove straight to the airport.

On June 27th ~EbookFREE.me~ The first day after the draft, the trading is still going on. Before the free market opens, each team will pass a series of transactions either to make room or to reinforce. To make adjustments. The biggest deal came from the Milwaukee Bucks and the Timberwolves. This was a deal that should have been completed yesterday. The Milwaukee Bucks sent point guards Sam Cassell, Ivan Johnson, and Anthony from the Timberwolves. -Peler and Joe Smith. After completing this deal, the Timberwolves' lineup appears to be quite balanced and complete, and people can't help but look forward to their new season.
But the biggest news of the day was not the Timberwolves trade, but Arnold Auerbach who was admitted to the hospital due to a heart attack. Although Auerbach was admitted to the hospital on the 26th, it was not until the morning of the 27th that the news began to appear on the headlines of major media. Both of Auerbach’s daughters felt the Washington National Rehabilitation Hospital on the 27th, Danny -Angie and Celtic boss Glos Pike flew directly from New York to Washington. The Celtics who live in Boston or other areas also set off from their homes and gathered from all directions to Washington, D.C., to visit the originator of the green shirt army.
However, Fox, who was the first to send Auerbach to the hospital, did not appear in the National Rehabilitation Hospital for the first time until Auerbach told everyone that I wanted to see Fox-Leon. (To be continued.)
