All-round Athlete

Chapter 414: The Future Savior (3rd)

Madison Square Garden Theatre.

The general manager of the Boston Celtics, Danny Ainge, immediately took out his mobile phone after a brief surprise and dialed the contact number of CAA.

"Please tell me what's going on? Why did the Los Angeles Lakers choose him?" Danny Ainge almost questioned.

"Danny, we don't know what's going on, but I can swear to God, our CAA company has never gone to the Los Angeles Lakers! Danny, you have to believe me, we are old friends. In this kind of thing, I don't need to lie to you." The other party said firmly.

Danny Ainge also calmed down. He thought about it carefully. Since CAA has already found the Celtics, it is impossible to find the Los Angeles Lakers. There is not much difference between the 58th and the 60th, and apart from the Celtics People, who would want to get Zhang Guan. Then the only reasonable explanation is that the Los Angeles Lakers cut off their beards.

"What are the Los Angeles people going to do? Why did they choose Zhang Guan? Is it for Zhang Guan's commercial value? Or they have some special information that I don't know?" Danny Angie looked at a box not far away, Sitting there was Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchet.

In the Lakers' box, Lakers coach Phil Jackson said to Kupchet next to him: "It's too risky for you to do this. Although it is only a second-round pick at the end of the round, Zhang Guan is a A track and field athlete, he has never participated in any official basketball games. Just because you got some information from Sun Yue, it is really too risky to put our only pick this year on Zhang Guan."

Kupchet smiled and said: "Old friend, trust my judgment. Sun Yue can't wait to enter the NBA. When I told Sun Yue that we were considering whether to give him a two-year contract, he Already excited and lost the ability to think, when I talked about the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games, Sun inadvertently slipped his mouth. Zhang Guan has amazing personal abilities, and he is the Chinese version of 'The Flash'. Although I have no chance To verify, but I think this news should be true. Besides, it’s just a pick at the end of the second round. Don’t worry too much. Anyway, in this position, we can’t find the players we need.”

"Well, I admit that Zhang Guan's speed may be very fast, but I always feel that the name of the Chinese version of 'The Flash' is a bit exaggerated. After all, Sun Yue is a Chinese player. He has never played in the NBA and does not understand the NBA. Regarding the degree of confrontation, he described this matter based on the standards of Chinese players. Maybe a water cooler manager who can’t play in the NBA at all will become a 'Flashman' in China." Phil Jackson said.

Kupchet shrugged: "Even in that case, we won't lose money. After all, he is Zhang Guan, and his commercial value can help us earn back the pick at the end of the second round!"

...

At this time, domestic fans have already boiled up. There have been tens of thousands of comments on the news, and basketball-related forums are also full of people discussing, and some NBA discussion groups are even bustling with people.

"Zhang Guan was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers, and we will see him in the NBA in a few months."

"A few days ago, I saw Zhang Guan saying that he would participate in the NBA draft. I thought he was joking. I didn't expect him to participate in the draft. Selected!"

"I remember when Zhang Guan joined the men's basketball team, there was a lot of doubts on the Internet, saying that Zhang Guan was not eligible to enter the men's basketball team. How is it now? An NBA player is not eligible to enter the men's basketball team? You have been slapped in the face! Others have to be capable and feel that they are better than Zhang Guan, and they will also be selected by the NBA to show us!"

"Zhang Guan really wants to play basketball, and he played in the NBA as soon as he came up, which is really amazing. Even if he is average now, as long as he trains in the NBA for a year and a half, he will definitely be able to beat the CBA players!"

"Why did the Lakers choose Zhang Guan? Don't they know that Zhang Guan has never played basketball for a day? Choosing someone who has never played basketball, I think the Lakers' management is also stupid!"

"I believe that others are fools, but the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, is definitely not a fool. Thinking about the Bulls Dynasty and the Zijin Dynasty later, Phil Jackson is a lot stronger than these competitions in China. A hundred times! Why Phil Jackson would rather choose Zhang Guan than other players in our country must be because Zhang Guan is stronger.”

"Los Angeles Lakers, Zhang Guan is going to assist Kobe, so he can win the championship next year!"

"It's still early. Now Zhang Guan is only selected by the Lakers. Whether he can enter the NBA is still a matter of debate. Maybe the Lakers are not willing to give Zhang Guan a contract at all. Just like Sun Yue who was selected last year, he didn't and didn't." Is there a chance to enter the NBA!"

...

In the conference room of a consulting company.

"This is all the information about the Los Angeles Lakers as of the end of this season." Zhuge Wenbo put a thick stack of papers in front of Zhang Guan, and continued: "They lost to the Celtics this season and only won the runner-up. , but their center Bynum was injured and did not participate in the playoffs. In general, the main lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers next season should not change much, and Phil Jackson should still be on this set The lineup is quite satisfactory. How is it? Are you excited? If the Lakers really invite you, do you want to go?"

Zhang Guan immediately shook his head: "No."

"Aren't you going to the NBA? Or don't you want to join the Lakers?" Zhuge Wenbo asked with a smile.

"It's not that I don't want to go to the NBA, and it's not that I don't want to join the Lakers, but because the time has not come." Zhang Guan continued: "The Lakers are not short of scoring points now. They have Kobe, Kazuo, Bynum, Odom, There are also Fisher, Farmar, Vujacic, etc. If I join the Lakers now, I will not get the ball at all. I think I will become a drinking fountain manager!"

"That's right, you will become the biggest water dispenser administrator in NBA history." Zhuge Wenbo said jokingly.

Zhang Guan ignored Zhuge Wenbo's ridicule, but went on to say: "So now is not the best time to join the Lakers, nor is it the best time to enter the NBA. I will choose to join when the Lakers need me most."

"When did the Lakers need you the most? When was that?" Zhuge Wenbo asked.

"For example, they have encountered extensive injuries, for example, their playoff tickets are already in jeopardy, for example, they have been reduced to the bottom team in the NBA, in short, it is a dilemma with no way out. When I wait, I will join. Zhang Guan took a deep breath, and continued: "Sending charcoal in the snow is always more touching than icing on the cake. At that time, I will become the savior of the Los Angeles Lakers!"
