Chapter 1764 Draft List
noon.

Schultz asked Ye Feng and others to come down for dinner. The chef was specially hired from a five-star hotel in Seattle. The dishes were very rich and delicious.

The dinner table.

A few people stopped talking about team transactions, and instead talked for a while about the development of the NBA and why the SuperSonics had been losing money in Seattle for several consecutive years.

Schultz attributed the Sonics' loss to the Sonics' lack of superstars and the fact that basketball is not very popular in Seattle, with the most popular being the Super Bowl football team, the Seattle Seahawks.

And Ye Feng knows that the Sonics have stars. Three-point shooter Ray Allen is the current star in Seattle, and Durant, the second pick in the summer draft, will also be a future superstar.

However, this year's draft has not yet been held, and the SuperSonics have won this year's second overall pick. Ye Feng is also very curious about one thing, which is who Schultz wants to choose between Oden and Durant, because The fates of Oden and Durant were so dramatic. The No. [-] pick in the draft became the biggest parallel pick in NBA history, while the No. [-] pick in the draft became the strongest scorer in NBA history.

Schultz is also a basketball enthusiast. When Ye Feng asked about the draft, he said without hesitation: "I will choose Greg Oden."

really!

Schultz also wanted to draft Oden.

"Why choose Greg Oden? Instead of Kevin Durant? Kevin Durant's scoring ability seems to be quite strong."

Ye Feng looked at Schultz and asked. Everyone said that Oden was very strong. If he had not been injured, he would never have been a parallel import number one pick. Pritchard, the former manager of the Trail Blazers, also said in an interview many years later, A hundred times over, they would choose Oden as the No. [-] pick instead of Kevin Durant. It's just that Oden was ruined by injuries. There is no way around it.

Schultz said eloquently: "I have studied this draft many times, including Kevin Durant and Reg Oden. Yes, Durant's scoring ability is very strong, but Reg Oden is better. The strength I am talking about is not scoring, but the team's victory. I have analyzed every minute of their entire career. There is one thing about Oden's performance in AUU that attracts me, and that is Oden. Oden only lost 1 games before, and then he was injured in college, but he only lost 3 games. I have communicated with many people, and the information I got is that Oden is a very mature player, and he never cares. No matter how many points he scores, he only cares about winning. It was 2 years ago since the last time our SuperSonics won a championship, and we need to win a championship."

Schultz became more and more excited as he talked, and said to Ye Feng and the others: "It's hard to imagine, right? Oden's physical measurement data is that he is 2 meters tall in shoes, 13 meters wingspan, 2 meters standing, and runs back in the penalty area. In just 24 seconds, he not only has an excellent height and wingspan, but is also very flexible. He can jump and jump as well as a small man. His basketball skills are also strong enough. In every aspect, he is the most perfect template among centers. His dunks are as explosive as Like Shaq O'Neal, he is as humble and gentle as Duncan. His defense and shot blocking are comparable to Bill Russell. In the NCAA game, he even defeated the inside combination of Noah and Horford with an injured hand! Oh! Deng is the only super rookie in the 2st century with five perfect scores in the rookie evaluation. With his physical fitness combined with Ray Allen's three-point shooting ability, the Sonics have the hope of winning the championship. How could I not choose him?"

Schultz said with saliva flying around.

As for Durant, he has completely ignored him.

Even Ye Feng is thinking about whether he should draft Oden if the Trail Blazers don't select Oden in the summer NBA draft.

Then carefully protect his injuries.

Maybe he can become a superstar like Duncan or James, and then many people in the world who regret Oden's injury can also see what Oden could have done without the injury.

But similarly, Kevin Durant is also very good. Is it worth using Durant, who has a bright future, historical shooting level, and one of the strongest scorers in history, to go to the unknown possibility?
Ye Feng hesitated.

But then Ye Feng no longer hesitated, because the answer is very simple, that is, the Trail Blazers currently lack insiders, and their first pick in the draft will definitely be Oden. After all, even Schultz is coveting Oden.Then Ye Feng asked Schultz for a list of this year's draft. In fact, he had not paid much attention to the NBA in the past few years. He just said that Chen Mengjie suddenly mentioned the NBA to him, and then he thought of buying the Sonics. As for He doesn't know who this year's draft picks will be besides Durant and Oden.

Soon, Ye Feng got the draft list from Schultz, and even the physical examination of each draft, previous playing data, team results, and scouting reports.

There are Oden, Durant, Horford, Brewer, Jeff Green, Yi Jianlian, Jeff Green... and so on.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly noticed a name, that is Yi Jianlian. Only then did he remember that Yi Jianlian also participated in the NBA draft this year.

In his previous life, Yi Jianlian was selected with the sixth overall pick by the Milwaukee Bucks. At that time, Ye Feng watched every game of Yi Jianlian, even more than Yao Ming's games.

The reason is very simple. At that time, Ye Feng felt that Yi Jianlian's playing was more beautiful, while Yao Ming's pace was too slow due to weight gain, and his playing was not so beautiful.

As a Chinese, Ye Feng must have thought that Yi Jianlian could perform like Yao Ming at that time, but unfortunately, Yi Jianlian's development in the NBA did not go very smoothly in the end.

However, it's not that Ye Feng thinks Yi Jianlian is incompetent, but that Yi Jianlian's personality is introverted, which makes him not get along so harmoniously with his teammates, and basketball is a team sport.

Yi Jianlian.

Should we choose Yi Jianlian?
Ye Feng was hesitant for a moment. Durant and Oden must be the best, but Yi Jianlian is Chinese, and Ye Feng really wanted to select Yi Jianlian with the second overall pick. Needless to say, by then, the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian, would also surpass Sonics, by then the Sonics will definitely be able to replicate the Rockets' success and win the Chinese market.

"You want to choose Yi Jianlian?"

Schultz saw Ye Feng staying in Yi Jianlian's information column and couldn't help but ask, but he could understand. After all, Ye Feng and Yi Jianlian are both Chinese. With Yao Ming's success in the Rockets, it was normal for Ye Feng to want to choose Yi Jianlian. matter.

"Some ideas."

Ye Feng nodded, then smiled and said to Schultz: "As long as you sell the team to me."

"I'll think about it again."

Schultz smiled and dismissed the topic. After all, selling the team was a very important matter. He could not sell the team to Ye Feng and Dixon with just a few words.

Ye Feng smiled and didn't mind, but because of Yi Jianlian's appearance, it was inevitable for him to acquire the Sonics.
