NBA: This Center Is So Stable - Chapter 49
The first time, the second time.
Chapter 49 The trading market opens, the first generation of Lakers F4
North Carolina State University.
Student dormitory!
“Congratulations, Wang!”
“Wang, I’ve been optimistic about you since the first day you joined the team! I didn’t expect you to really do it.”
···
Wang Song, who returned to school to pick up things and prepare to move his family, met his teammates and praised him to the sky.
“Wang, I heard that Coach Herb is leaving soon, right?”
A young player asked this question while celebrating.
“Yes! The boss will go to New York with me!”
The rest of the people showed a little lonely look, and then their eyes lit up with envy.
Herb Sendek, the head coach of the Wolf Pack, sent off batches of new players.
Many players have deep feelings for him.
Just when the atmosphere changed from cheerful to a little sad, Wang Song added: “Don’t be sad, I have good news for you. Assistant Coach Jim will stay with the Wolf Pack and has the possibility of replacing Mr. Herb as the head coach~ Remember to keep it secret!”
After that, Wang Song also made a hush gesture.
The light in everyone’s eyes lit up again, and everyone had a good impression of Jim.
If he could take over as the new head coach of the Wolf Pack, everyone would be much more accepting.
Not long after.
Jim and Julius Hodge came to the dormitory together.
“Wang, thank you for your recommendation, the boss told me!”
“Welcome Mr. Tanhua to return to his alma mater for sightseeing. The New York Knicks is definitely the most visionary team in the league. Haha, when are you going to New York?”
The appearance of two old acquaintances added a bit of color to Wang Song’s busy picking up things.
“Assistant coach, everyone has seen your usual efforts, and this is what you deserve!”
The two hugged each other tightly, and Wang Song did not forget to hit back at Hodge who teased him.
“Julius, when are you going to participate in the draft?”
“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it’s definitely not possible, I can only wait until next year! But I should wait until the end of my college career before participating in the draft. After all, my growth rate can’t be compared with yours.”
Hodge couldn’t help but take a breath when he thought of Wang Song’s growth rate.
After the things were almost packed, Wang Song waved his hand and invited the entire Wolf Pack team to go to the oldest barbecue restaurant in North Carolina for a full meal.
“Eat as much as you want today, don’t be polite to me!”
The group held the cup and congratulated Wang Song on his successful entry into the NBA.
“Then we must squeeze the bulging wallet of the future multi-millionaire!”
Julius Hodge also said bluntly.
“By the way, Wang, I saw on the news that the New York Knicks paid a huge price to sign you!”
“Will the team configuration for the new season be affected?”
Wang Song shook his head, indicating that it shouldn’t be.
He could understand Hodge’s concerns.
Because there are indeed such teams in history, which spend a lot of effort to sign potential rookies and then suffer a serious loss of vitality, and have no ability to reorganize the team in the short term.
After the rookie contract ends, the rookies without a decent playoff record are also played out.
Except for a bunch of empty regular season data, there is nothing else.
It is difficult to get a big contract if you try the free market at this time.
But New York should not be affected. What a big ball city needs most is results.
As for money, it is the least of the matter for the New York Knicks.
In addition, Wang Song has David Falk by his side, so he is not very worried about it.
While Wang Song was still gathering with alumni, domestic public opinion had already exploded.
······
News about the draft results came one after another.
All other news on the entire page of Xinhu Sports was removed, and all the headlines put the two keywords New York Knicks and Wang Song on them.
“Chinese players are ranked in the top three in the NBA draft, this is the masterpiece of Asian insiders! 》
“The future is promising! The 2003 draft was a surprise, Wang Song was the third pick! 》
“Rational discussion: Where should Wang Song’s real ranking be? 》
“In one month, from the water dispenser to the MOP winner and then to the third pick, what has Wang Song experienced? 》
···
A series of related news content are closely related to Wang Song.
And this has caused heated discussions among domestic fans.
——【This is really the script of the male protagonist of the online novel, and the tears of envy are flowing from my mouth!
】
——【First there was Dayao and then there was Wang. Our men’s basketball team has a promising future! 】
——【Can this prove from the side that our national men’s basketball team is undoubtedly the leader in Asia now! 】
——【Yes, we should have a long-term vision. I feel that we should not be limited to a small piece of Asia now, but should look at the world team. The combination of Dayao + Wang Song is a top twin tower even in the NBA! 】
——【There is no doubt that Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia can hardly produce a player who can participate in the draft for ten years. How can we compare with our two consecutive years of one No. 1 and one No. 3? They have to spend decades to catch up with our achievements in the past two years. 】
——【I hope Wang Song can stay healthy. In fact, as long as these heavyweight athletes can stay healthy and have a long enough career, they can always achieve results in the NBA. 】
···
In addition to the voices of praise and celebration, there are also occasional different opinions in the comment area.
——【New York Knicks? Weak team! I feel like there is no future. At least if he goes to a big team like the Lakers or Celtics, he will have a better chance of winning the championship. 】
——【Indeed, this draft result is somewhat unexpected, but overall the team’s level needs to be improved. If he can go to a strong team, he should have achieved results earlier. 】
——【Are the two above the fans of Huaxia? What kind of results are there for hanging around big players? Isn’t it better to be the boss of a weak team than to sit on the bench and get a championship ring? 】
——【What kind of champion fans are you? The Knicks are so sincere that they have always wanted to sign Wang Song during the NCAA. I believe they are willing to spend a lot of money to train him. Why do you say that Wang Song, the third pick, is just picked up. 】
——【The two above the first floor are 100% fake fans. Real fans will never say such things! There are teams willing to build a team with Wang Song as the core, which is better than going to those poor big teams to lick other people’s stinky feet. Besides, if you don’t go to a big team, you will definitely not win the championship? 】
······
Just as the outside world was discussing the draft results more and more, after the NBA trading market opened, all teams began to take action.
The Los Angeles Lakers signed “The Glove” Gary Payton with a middle-class exception, and signed Karl Malone with a veteran minimum salary.
The momentum revealed by the Lakers this season is very obvious, and the establishment of this space battleship also shows their intentions.
After the defeat of the Spurs in the 2002 season, their goals have been clear again.
After strengthening, they plan to start a second dynasty!
Under such a heavy news.
Scott Layden also quietly started to operate.
