NBA: Started as Sakuragi Hanamichi

Chapter 387 The Draft Begins

Lin Feng's words sounded in their ears, and Jenny and Kupchak looked at each other.

As the main player of the Lakers, he won the championship this year.

Jenny and Kupchak had to agree to Lin Feng's request.

Just like when Lin Feng entered the Lakers, Kupchak completely looked at Kobe's face.

But now, Lin Feng is also a face-saving player in the Lakers.

He proposed to let the Lakers introduce Yi Jianlian. Jenny thought about it and said, "Yes, Lin, it's not too much for you to ask for such a small thing. We will find a way to get this Yi Jianlian."

"But there is one thing I need to remind you, don't call me auntie, am I that old?"

"Uh……"

Lin Feng was suddenly embarrassed.

On Twitter, he saw some fans refer to Jenny as "auntie".

Then I also called it that way, I didn't expect that Jenny herself didn't like this name.

"Haha, okay, I saw netizens call it that, so I followed the trend."

"No, I'm not as old as you say, just call me by my name in the future."

Jenny rolled her eyes.

"OK, I won't call you auntie anymore, to be honest, you really aren't too old."

"I was not very old."

Jenny muttered again.

"Ha ha……"

Lin Feng smiled and said nothing.

The negotiations were finalized, and the UAE landed in the NBA.

Even if he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, he could still come to the Lakers in the end.

Saying goodbye to Jenny and Kupchak, Lin Feng contacted Yi Jianlian who was far away in China.

In a few days, Yi Jianlian will return to the United States to participate in the draft.

"Hello, Ah Lian!"

Lin Feng called Yi Jianlian.

"Lin Feng, have you returned to America?"

Yi Jianlian was not surprised to receive a call from Lin Feng.

At Yao Ming's wedding, the two exchanged phone numbers.

"Yes, I'm back."

Lin Feng said: "I'll tell you one thing. It doesn't matter which team you are selected for in the draft. The important thing is that I will find a way to get the Lakers management to trade you to the Lakers."

"We will play in the same team in the future, you will start as a substitute first, is this okay?"

"Lin Feng, is this true?"

Hearing this, Yi Jianlian was suddenly excited.

Good guy, Lin Feng has a lot of face in the Lakers.

As soon as he goes back, the Lakers management can trade him to Los Angeles.

Compared with those small ball markets, Yi Jianlian certainly hopes to go to Los Angeles.

And the Lakers are currently on fire, the league's championship team.

Following Lin Feng and Kobe, maybe he can get a championship ring next season.

"Lin Feng, don't lie to me, can I really play for the Los Angeles Lakers?"

"Yes, I have already approached Jenny and Kupchak, and they agreed to my proposal."

"It means that no matter which team you are drafted by, they will find a way to trade you."

Lin Feng answered truthfully.

"Thank you so much Lin Feng, I really hope to play for the Los Angeles Lakers."

"As long as you like it, we will win another championship after we come here!"

"definitely."

Yi Jianlian is confident that the Lakers will continue to defend their title.

"By the way, you said last time that you are going to let Brother Yao go there too, will he go?"

Yi Jianlian asked.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, because Brother Yao didn't contact me. He said he would think about it. Even if he came to the Lakers, he probably would have to negotiate with the Rockets' management before he could come."

"Yes." Yi Jianlian nodded, "I'm afraid that the management of the Rockets won't let him go, and it will be difficult."

"The contract has expired, what if they don't let it go?"

Lin Feng sneered twice, he didn't like the Rockets.

As a time traveler, he knows too well what the Rockets are.

Morey in later generations made political mistakes on Twitter, talked about Chinese people, and made money from Chinese people.

It's time for Yao Ming to leave the Rockets. This kind of bad team doesn't matter.

It depends on how Yao Ming chooses, he is willing to come to the Lakers, of course the best.

In that way, the Lakers will have three Chinese players.

This has never happened before in the history of the NBA.

If the three Chinese players win the championship together, it will be even more perfect.

"Okay, I won't tell you more, I have other things to do."

"Well, Lin Feng, go get busy. I'll go to America in a few days. We'll meet again then."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng drove home.

At the scene of the draft, he also went there to have a look.

He doesn't care what method the Lakers management uses to get Yi Jianlian. Anyway, I told Jenny and Kupchak about the matter.

They must be able to do it...

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was June 28th.

And this day is the 2007 draft at Madison Square Garden.

All rookies participating in the draft are present.

The most favored by everyone is naturally Emperor Auden.

Although Oden was ruined by injuries, some people in NBA history said that he was the number one pick in parallel imports.

However, if Oden had no injuries, his achievements in the NBA would definitely not be lower than Du Xiaoshuai.

It was the injury that ruined Oden, and Oden was completely reimbursed after playing for a few seasons, and he bid farewell to the NBA from then on.

The No. [-] pick in this year's draft is undoubtedly Oden the Great.

He was picked up by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Tanhuaxiu Du Xiaoshuai, acquired by the Seattle SuperSonics.

The third pick, Al Horford, was acquired by the Atlanta Hawks.

The fourth pick, Mike Conley, was taken by the Memphis Grizzlies.

The fifth pick, Jeff Green, was selected by the Boston Celtics.

The sixth pick, it is the turn of the United Arab Emirates.

He was unquestionably drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks.

When Ah Lian was selected, the Lakers management was planning a deal.

Jenny and Kupchak both came to the scene, looking at the tall and thin Yi Jianlian, they frowned.

With this body type, can he play the fourth position?
If it wasn't for Lin Feng's repeated requests, they would never have tried to get Yi Jianlian.

"Miss Jenny, this is the person. Lin named him to get him. We need to operate as soon as possible. What resources will the team use to trade him?"

"You can figure it out. I think the Bucks won't take a sixth pick from China as a treasure, and just give some players on the bench, including future draft picks, to exchange with the Bucks."

"They are willing to be better. If they are not willing, show some sincerity. You can settle this kind of trivial matter."

"Okay Miss Jenny, I know what to do."

On the Lakers bench, some players really need to be cleaned up.

Those people are dispensable, and the Bucks are unwilling, so they increase their chips and give them a few future draft picks.

In this case, the Bucks will be willing.

As Jenny said, the Bucks will not cherish Yi Jianlian.

They are not optimistic about a player from China. Of course, Lin Feng and Yao Ming are different.

The Lakers have a little bargaining chip, and the Bucks will be willing to hand over Yi Jianlian.
