Chapter 9 The choice of logo man, the draft
Jim Buss didn't know how to answer at all. He was in a very complicated mood now. Seeing his son hanging like this, Jeri Buss waved his hand to let him go away. With the sound of Jim Buss closing the door, the sound of the antique vase breaking from inside was also frozen at that moment.
The next day, the Lakers officially announced the news of Jerry West’s resignation. This news caused another uproar in the league. Who is Jerry West?Pippen can only be counted as half, after all, Jordan is the existence that O'Neal's grandma can win the championship.
Many teams in the league have offered an olive branch to Jerry West, and Jerry West didn't even look at these invitations, but came to Philadelphia.He's here to meet someone.
Jerry West's resignation also surprised Xiao Tian, and he also knew one thing, the other party's resignation must have something to do with him.
"Heaven, are you there? A guest is coming, you go and open the door." Ryan was cleaning in the apartment, Xiao Tian opened the door, and there was a person who surprised him standing outside the door.
"Mr. Jerry, why are you here?" Jerry West came to him, shouldn't he hurry up and find his next job?
Jerry West came into the house, Ryan who was cleaning was also surprised to see Jerry West, Xiao Tian was chatting with him, and Ryan had already made two cups of coffee.
Jerry West took a sip of his coffee, "I'm sorry, Heaven, can I call you that? I traded Divac and others to get this No. [-] pick just for you. In you, I see infinite possibilities."
Xiao Tian also took a sip of coffee, it was quite bitter and there was no sugar added, "Thank you Jerry, it's just that you plan to stay idle after resigning?"
Jerry West shook his head and looked at Xiao Tian fixedly, "I want to know which team you will go to after the Lakers don't draft you. That idiot Jim Buss will definitely regret it. He is no different from an idiot in front of Allum."
Oh, it turned out that that guy was playing tricks, but it doesn't matter anymore. The Lakers without Jerry West may not really be the Lakers, because he can be said to be the godfather of the Lakers. Without him, the Lakers would not have so many championships. This is unmatched by other successors.
"Grizzlies, this team is the most sincere to me, and this team doesn't have any history, so the performance here will be more noticeable."
Grizzlies, Jerry West was not surprised by Xiao Tian's choice. After all, before the Lakers joined him, the opponent was closer to the Grizzlies. Now it is not difficult for him to choose the Grizzlies.
Jerry West stood up, exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Tian, and made a real choice for the decision in his heart.
In Xiao Tian's apartment, he called Arthur Griffith, the boss of the Grizzlies, "Arthur, I accept your invitation, and we have a happy cooperation."
Xiao Tian was dumbfounded again, his little wings seemed to be agitated a bit fiercely, although Jerry West went to Grizzly in his previous life, it wasn't this time, and he went to Grizzly, so why would Stu Jackson go.
After the phone call, Jerry West sat down again, "Stu is going to be the vice president of the league, so I'm here to fill his vacancy. Of course he's gone, and the team also needs to choose a head coach, but I already have someone."
He just resigned from the Lakers, and immediately entered the rhythm of the Grizzlies manager. With this psychological quality, Xiao Tian has no other thoughts other than admiration.
June 6th was the opening day of the draft. Xiao Tian entered the small green room, waiting for David Stern's draft results. There were many people in this small green room, but most of them knew each other.
Kobe's manager Allem walked up to Xiao Tian triumphantly, "Tsk tsk, you still have the guts to participate in the draft. I really admire your courage."
Ryan pulled Xiao Tian and glared at Alem, "The winner is the one who laughs last. Who will remember the person in front of Jordan back then."
"You..." Alem wanted to pretend to be aggressive in front of Xiao Tian, but unexpectedly, Xiao Tian's manager retorted.
Godfather Si came to the draft stage at this time, which marked the upcoming start of the draft.
"Welcome everyone to the 1996 draft. First of all, we would like to welcome the little guys who participated in the draft this time. I hope that you all have a bright future. Now I announce the official start of this draft."
The staff handed an envelope to Godfather, "The team that won the No. 76 pick is the Philadelphia [-]ers, and their choice is... the super point guard from Georgetown University——Allen Iverson"
Marbury couldn't help being off the court and clenched his fists. Damn Philadelphia didn't choose him. Just wait, I will definitely make them look good.The answer went to the draft stage and said a lot.All of his relatives and friends below were extremely excited.
The No. [-] pick has not changed. Next is the No. [-] pick. "The team that won the No. [-] pick is the Los Angeles Lakers. They traded this pick from the Raptors. Their choice is-Kobe Bryant, a super high school student from Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia."
Marbury is confused, Kobe?Who is that? Damn, why did another guy whose name I don't know come in front of me, the Lakers, that's the Lakers.
Kobe hugged his parents, came to the draft platform and shook hands with Stern, "I am very grateful to the Lakers for choosing me. I will definitely lead the Lakers to revival."
Xiao Tian couldn't help curling his lips. It was true that Kobe worked hard, but his style of play is destined to be impossible to revive the Lakers in a short period of time. Although he is not as useless as James, sometimes it is really not a good thing to pursue scoring too much.
Next came the No. [-] lottery, and Marbury had hope again. The No. [-] pick and No. [-] were gone. This No. [-] pick should be his own. "The team that won the No. [-] pick is the Vancouver Grizzlies. Their choice is Xiao Tian, a point guard from Hampton High School in Philadelphia." The word Xiao Tian, Stern's pronunciation is not particularly standard. Xiao Tian and Ryan hugged and came to the draft platform.
"I just want to say one thing, the No. [-] pick is a good one. Michael Jordan started from here."
