Chapter 92 13 Draft Conference
The news of the king's change of ownership still spread throughout the league, especially when the new owner of the kings was Ranadive. Seattle Consortium.

But now it suddenly became a local Sacramento consortium, the Ranadive family.

This family is quite rich, a technology giant!

On top of that, Ranadive has a stunner daughter!
But none of this has anything to do with Jiang Yan.

He is still immersed in his training.

But for Patrik, he was a little uneasy!
It wasn't until Ranadive brought his secretary to Arco Arena and had a discussion with Patrik that Patrik showed a relaxed smile!

First of all, Ranadive is very appreciative of Patrik's ability and will continue to hire Patrik as the president and general manager of the Kings!
Secondly, Ranadive very much agrees with the Kings' plan with Jiang Yan as the core!
As the owner of the Kings, he must know the situation of the Kings. In the eyes of these Sacramento natives, Jiang Yan is definitely the cornerstone of their future rise!

In the end, Ranadive is very optimistic about the future of the Kings, and as the owner of the Kings who just became the Kings, he will not touch the Kings lineup!

.........

After Garcia went out to play with his wife for a while, he heard that Jiang Yan was training in Arco Arena, so naturally he came here too!

Then Williams came to Sacramento to train with Jiang Yan.

When the Nuggets were eliminated by the Thunder in the second round, Williams only played a total of 20 minutes in six games, which made him a little unwilling!

Originally at home with his wife and children, he heard that Jiang Yan was training here, so naturally he also came to Accramento!
In this way, since mid-June, Jiang Yan has had a little partner to train with!
Time passed with the training day by day.

In the blink of an eye, June 6th came.

In fact, within a few days of the conversation between Patric and Jiang Yan, the 30 teams in the entire league conducted a lottery for draft picks.

At that time, Patrik didn't know what to think, and he also took Jiang Yan there, and let Jiang Yan draw the lottery.

Maybe they want to take advantage of Jiang Yan's luck!
In this regard, Yankees are also quite superstitious!

Jiang Yan didn't want to go at first, but she couldn't stop Patrik's request, so she had to go to the lottery. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan's luck was really good. With the No.14 in the Western Conference and the fourth-worst record in the league, she got the second lottery!
You must know that the probability of the Kings getting the second pick is only 12.15%.

As for the probability of winning the No. 1.3333 lottery, it is only [-]%!
But the Kings thought they would only get a fifth pick or a bottom lottery pick!

I have to say, Jiang Yan can buy lottery tickets!

Maybe you can become a billionaire by buying lottery tickets!
Patric is very happy, because the Kings can get the second pick with such a small probability, as long as the Kings choose a potential stock for Jiang Yan, as a supplement to the Kings lineup and a reliable assistant for Jiang Yan in the future!
Worst of all, this second pick can be traded!

Of course, trading is the worst policy, the best is to choose another rookie!

At the draft, Jiang Yan wore a black suit. This suit was no longer the suit she wore in last year's draft.

It was a suit bought by Alice for him, and he spends time with Jiang Yan every day. She must know what size Jiang Yan is!

Sitting in the box that the Kings belonged to, Jiang Yan was a little idle. After all, he came here just to be a participant. The real decision on who the Kings will pick at the second place this time depends on Patric!

In addition, the No. 19.2 pick in this year's draft belongs to the Cavaliers. They have the second-to-last record and a [-]% probability of winning the No. [-] lottery.

And in this Chicago rookie training camp, among the best performers, the Cavaliers are most interested in Anthony Bennett!
A striker with comprehensive skills, he can play three or four! (three for small forwards, four for power forwards)

But the Kings do not lack power forwards and small forwards!

As for the person the Kings prefer, Patrik did not show it in the training camp. After all, the Kings only have the No. [-] pick. If he shows the rookie he really wants to pick, it will inevitably make the Cavaliers block the way!

This is not something Patrik can bear!

The new boss has just taken over. Although the new boss promised not to let him leave, the most subordinate still has to show his ability to the new boss.

And it all started with this draft!

Not only does he want to pick a rookie with potential, but he also wants to pick a rookie who will satisfy the boss!

While Patrik was thinking this way, Stern walked out.

According to the media, this rookie conference will be the last one hosted by Stern.

Because before the start of the new season, he will officially leave his job, that is, retire.

As for the new president, it must be the bald man, Adam Silva!

Jiang Yan sat in the box, looking at the display screen in front of her boredly.

Because it is in Madison Square Garden, Jiang Yan's box is actually a little far away!
So Jiang Yan and the others could only watch the live broadcast on the monitor.

"Good morning, everyone, today is another rookie conference!"

"Shh..."

Stern is still the same as last year, without changing his expression. At his age, his face is thicker than the Great Wall of China. Such a little booing to scare him is a dream!

What's more, after this rookie meeting, he will retire. It's really not worth it to be angry with those booing people present!

The body is already old, so don't be angry!
He smiled slightly, and then continued: "Looking back at last year's rookie conference, there were excellent rookies such as Yan, Davis, and Lillard. This year, looking forward to the future, I also hope that they will have a bright career... "

Barbara Stern spoke for four to 10 minutes, directly making people drowsy. This is a report!

Shaking her head, Jiang Yan picked up an apple from the table, wiped it twice, and ate it straight away!

"Crack!" Jiang Yan ate the smaller half of the apple in one bite.

The movement here directly caught Patrik's attention.

In fact, Patric is very nervous now, because the No. [-] pick is in the hands of others, and when the Cavaliers have not announced who to choose, everything is still variable.

As for the Magic with the third overall pick, it's not that Patric didn't think about blocking the way, but the players in the Magic are really not what the Kings want!

If it's not a capable All-Star, or a rookie with potential worth cultivating, the Kings' No. [-] pick can only be used in these two ways!
Stern finally finished his own nonsense, and then entered the main event.

"Next we will conduct the 2013 rookie draft. The first pick in 13 is the Cleveland Cavaliers!" Stern said loudly with confidence.

In fact, it was under his operation that the Cavaliers were able to get the No. [-] lottery.

You must know that in the 12-13 season in the entire league, the Magic has the worst record in the NBA. It is reasonable to have a 25% chance of winning the No. [-] lottery, but under Stern's authority, this probability is not a problem!

Five minutes later, under the tense gaze of many managers and presidents, a staff member handed a note to Stern!

Looking at this scene, Jiang Yan felt so familiar!
That's right, the pattern of the draft is the same every year. What the team wants to choose is written on a piece of paper like this, and then given to Stern!
"Ahem, the player selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 13 draft is...

Anthony Bennett! "

As soon as the words fell, Stern was finally given face on the scene, and he applauded sparsely!
Patrik breathed a sigh of relief!

He is actually not optimistic about the player Bennett, although he can average 16.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in the NCAA league.

The data is very comprehensive, and the strength is not bad!

But such a player was selected by the Cavaliers, but Patrik jumped up in the box, and then directly said to the assistant: "Proceed according to the original plan!"

A few minutes later, Bennett finished speaking, and Stern appeared on the podium again, continuing to announce the next draft!

At this time, Patrik has also handed over the note with a name written on it to the staff who came over!
After Stern got the note, he glanced at it, and then spoke slowly.

The managers of the teams ranked in the Kings couldn't help but feel tight!
After all, for these teams with poor records, every year's draft is a stone bet!
The rookies with potential are those rough stones that have not been unlocked, and the managers of their teams are those gamblers who gambled on stones.

They bet that the rookie they choose can unlock an imperial green inside!

The Kings already got the fifth overall pick last season, and that imperial green is Jiang Yan!
These rookies are now like those rough stones, there.

The team with draft picks seems to have those rich businessmen who have paid. Whoever pays more will be able to choose rough stones first!
"In the 13 NBA Draft, the player selected by the Sacramento Kings was Alex Lane, who served as a center!" As soon as Stern finished speaking, the expression of a person in the other box changed drastically!
This person is none other than Curry Johnson, the general manager of the Suns.

The rookie the Suns want to draft is Chris Ryan.

This is equivalent to saying that the Suns were cut off by the Kings!

"Hello, is that Patric? I'm Johnson. I don't know if the Ryan you just picked can be traded?"

Patrik pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Lynn plus Cole Aldridge for your team's Gortat and the seventh overall pick!"

After Patric finished speaking, Johnson fell silent!
For Gortat, Johnson is very optimistic. After all, as a substitute for Warcraft, he can play 15 minutes per game, and in the days of the Suns, he averaged 6.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, which still has great potential!

As we all know, the training time of a big center is longer than that of a guard. Gortat has been in the league for seven years, and the skills he should have are almost polished!

Now the Kings are going to pick the peaches.

This is something Johnson cannot tolerate!

And Ryan was chosen to be a substitute for Gortat, so he wouldn't give up the team's starter for a rookie!

What's more, Gortat's current annual salary is only 300 million, which is obviously a high-powered basic salary!
