To be honest, neither Isiah Thomas nor Don Cheney could understand Fanhee's behavior.

They feel that this matter is too unnecessary.

Why engage in parallel imports?

"Jack, I can understand why you mess with Milicic. This kid played really well in two games last season, and he's still young, so he still has some potential. But why do you want to mess with Kwame Brown?"

Isaiah Thomas racked his brains and couldn't figure out Fan Xi's thoughts. He said, "Could it be that you want to use this method to prove that you are better than Michael Jordan? Michael Jordan picked a parallel importer, and you are responsible for cultivating this parallel importer?"

The Smiling Assassin had a disagreement with Van Hee, and he said to Van Hee: "We can definitely bring in some inside superstars, Chris Webber, I contacted him, and he is willing to bow to you. There are also two powerful insiders of the Bulls, Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler ... I'm connecting with all of that."

Fan Xi reached out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"It's better not to bring Chris Webber here, he's only here for retirement." Fan Xi said, "You find a way to get Kwame Brown and Milicic out."

Fan Xi's attitude is firm.

James Dolan made it very clear: "Yes, Isiah, bring these two players to training camp."

Thomas had to stop talking.

He really couldn't understand what was going on in Fan Xi's head.

He felt that Fan Xi was somewhat impulsive.

He chatted with Don Cheney about this matter, but when he turned around, Don Cheney told Fan Xie about Isiah Thomas' complaints.

Don Cheney has always regarded himself as Fan Xi's person.

Fan Xi didn't feel anything. It's normal for Isiah Thomas to complain a bit, but he is diligent and diligent in his work, and never discounts. Unlike the Baylor of the Clippers, that is really a Baylor.

Lord Belle never complained, he always nodded and bowed in front of his face, and he promised very readily. However, he always does things according to his own ideas.

This annoyed Fan Xi very much.

In order to prevent the Knicks from being a lesson learned from others, Fan Xie will personally participate in the draft this time.

He wants to try out the key players who come to the Knicks to participate in the trial.

He even called a name and asked a few players to come over for trial training.

The players named by him are: Iguodala, El Jefferson, Kevin Martin, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, JR Smith, Tony Allen, Andre Varejao, Trevor Ariza, Delonty West, Sean Livingston….

This year, the Knicks are the team with the most draft picks, and as the championship team, the largest city team in the world, many rookies and agents are rushing to participate in the Knicks' trial training.

After all, the current situation of the Knicks is quite special. It is true that they are a super team, but at the same time they are also a team full of veterans, and there are many opportunities.

On the first day of the trial training, Fan Xi sat in the stands, wearing normal training clothes, watching the group confrontation below.

Although Isaiah Thomas is now the president, he likes the work of finding newcomers very much, and he stands below and does it himself.

This made many players and agents who came to try out very excited.

When the players saw Fanhee, they kept saying hello to him.

But Fan Xi is very cold.

He sat on it quietly, unsmiling.

He is used to this kind of cheering. He has played in the league for 10 years. Although he is still very young, his story has been inspiring many basketball teenagers to move forward.

These guys in their twenties can be said to have grown up watching Fanhee's games.

Fan Xi rested his chin until he saw the afternoon.

Repeat this for three days.

He confirmed that this year is indeed a small draft year, and there are almost no shadows of superstars.

This year the Knicks hold the fifth overall pick, the ninth overall pick, the seventeenth overall pick, the twenty-first overall pick, as well as the 38th overall pick and the 56th overall pick in the second round.

He tried his best to plan the replenishment of each position in his mind.

But at the same time, his move is also changing the draft market.

Many players who were called by him to the Knicks arena for trial training have gained more attention, and the media and other teams have recognized Fanhee's vision very much.

So much so that Sean Livingston, a high school guard, shot up in the draft just because he took a picture with Fan Xie, approaching Dwight Howard and Okafor as the two favorites in the draft.

There were even players who were angry that they weren't on the Knicks' radar.

Ben Gordon, a shooter from the University of Connecticut, said indignantly: "Why didn't Jack Fan invite me to try out? Is his prejudice against the University of Connecticut so big? I think I am underestimated. When I enter the NBA, he will Recognize that I'm the strongest defender in this class."

With the increase in status, Fan Hee's recognition has become a target for newcomers to compete for.

Fan Xi only felt angry and funny.

When he was in a good mood, he called Ben Gordon and told him: "I don't have a bad impression of you. The Knicks just don't need an attacking core with the ball. We no longer need star players to line up."

Fan Xie's words made Ben Gordon jump up from the bed happily.

He hurriedly apologized to Fan Xi, and quickly stated that he had absolutely no malice, but was just ignored, and felt very sad.

Fan Xi encouraged him to work hard.

Ben Gordon cried happily on the phone.

Then the next day, he said in the media: Jack is my lifelong idol, and the fact that he called me gave me confidence in my basketball career. He didn't underestimate me, he felt that the Knicks already had him and no longer needed a ball-handling core.

Ben Gordon was an honest man, and he didn't boast.

So, Fan Xi stamped and authenticated, Fan Xi replied: "That's right. That's what I said."

Fan Xi's words once again made Ben Gordon's market bullish all the way.

…

Because of Fan Xi's relationship, this year's championship tour was arranged after the draft. Fan Xi's recent energy has been put on the draft.

The Knicks executives have already made a decision. Next season, the Knicks will make a huge lineup adjustment.

It takes a lot of courage.

Generally speaking, the championship team does not change the lineup easily, it is all minor repairs.

However, the Knicks lineup is too old.

Moreover, Fan Xi's goal is to win five consecutive championships, so he is destined to increase his long-term team.

Therefore, digging talents from rookies has become a necessity.

Fan Xie will sit in the draft war room this year, and James Dolan will also accompany him. Isaiah Thomas and Don Cheney are Fan Xi's assistant ministers, and the main characters of the uniform team also come out in full force.

When Fanhee entered the war room, the Los Angeles Clippers asked the Knicks if they needed to make an upward trade, but Fanhee refused.

This year's trade signing is not as important as imagined.

For the Knicks, the reinforcement is the rotation and role players.

The first pick this year is the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards chose Dwight Howard without hesitation.

Howard walked onto the stage very happily. Wearing a wizard hat, he made many commentators worry about whether this high school center champion will become the second Kwame Brown.

Gujiao

After all, the last No. 1 pick in the center picked by the Wizards has been completely wiped out.

However, the plot soon took a turn.

The Wizards, who are not short of centers, made a three-way deal with the Rockets and the Magic. The Magic invited Howard back to Orlando.

This makes Howard's market immediately bullish. After all, the number one center pick in the history of the Magic is O'Neal, and O'Neal's achievements are so fierce.

Howard has a promising future.

With the second overall pick is the Charlotte Bobcats.

Michael Jordan is the small owner of the Bobcats. He has a gambling agreement with the big boss. The specific content has not been disclosed, but basically it is only a matter of time before Jordan becomes the club's major shareholder.

After Jordan won Kwame Brown in the Wizards, his reputation was greatly derogated, and people thought he knew people.

But tonight, he had no other choice. He called the shots in the Bobcats' draft war room: pick Okafor.

Okafor is a safe choice. This is a short center who has made great achievements in the NCAA. It is basically impossible to choose him. Of course, don't expect him to achieve such amazing achievements.

Ben Gordon was picked by the Chicago Bulls with the third overall pick.

The Chicago Bulls seemed to agree with Fan Xie's approval very much. Since Van Xie said Ben Gordon was good, the Bulls naturally wanted to take a gamble.

After all, in the past history, none of the players that Fan Xi was optimistic about was mistaken.

Soon it will be the fourth pick of the Clippers.

The Clippers are still bargaining with the Knicks at this time, hoping to exchange the Knicks' fifth pick plus a first-round pick with the fourth pick.

Fan Xi replied directly: "Master Baylor is thinking of farting."

Elgin Baylor chose Sean Livingston, who had been to the Knicks for a trial and took a close photo with Fan Xie.

Sean Livingston is known as a talented high school student. He has a good height, a good vision, and he plays with spirituality. Although the confrontation was weaker, Fan Xi felt that he had a good prospect and had a chance to become a top star.

Therefore, Fan Xi went to have a close contact with him, and only then did he get the group photo.

However, the close contact between the two was not prompted by the system to capture the medal player.

Therefore, Fan Xi's mood faded.

Soon came the fifth overall pick, and came in front of Fan Xi.

This is Fan Xi's first shot this evening, and it is also the first time he has decided to draft.

He has 5 minutes to make final deliberations.

But before that, he had already considered with Isiah Thomas.

He asked Thomas what the odds were of getting Kwame Brown and Milicic.

Isiah Thomas said: Seventy percent.

Then Fan Xi asked, what is the probability of Sprewell staying? Can Grant Hill's buyout be reached?

Thomas said that the asking price of Sprewell's agent is too high. If you don't come forward to play the emotional card, you will basically leave. The same is true for Grant. He still has a three-year contract value of almost 50 million yuan, and his agent rejected a buyout of 25 million U.S. dollars...

The two answers made Fan Xi make his final decision.

"Pick Andre Iguodala."

So, soon, the Knicks put Fan Xie's decision to the bottom corner.

This decision did not surprise Thomas. Isiah Thomas also believes that Iguodala's physical fitness is the best among all perimeter players this year.

If Sprewell and Grant Hill cannot be kept, Iguodala is the best supplement.

When Iguodala heard that he was selected by New York, he roared excitedly at the scene. Moreover, he raised his hands high to echo the screaming New York fans behind him.

When he stepped onto the stage, he said excitedly, "Mom, I finally have a chance to play with Jack Fan."

Iguodala couldn't be more excited.

Fan Xi saw this scene in the war room, and he was also very happy for this excited young man: You are so lucky, your career has been on the fast track since then.

Soon, Luol Deng, another backcourt player that Fan Xie valued, was selected, Kevin Martin was also picked up by the Kings, and Devin Harris was never considered by the Knicks.

Very quickly, came the ninth pick.

Another Knicks choice.

Fan Xi looked hesitantly at the names on his list.

In the end, he chose a short center who was not favored by the public.

Al Jefferson.

The reason is that the four insiders Mutombo, Anthony Mason, Juwan Howard, and Ratliff will leave New York this summer, and the Knicks need fresh blood.

Although El Jefferson is a short center, he will definitely suffer a lot defensively in the NBA, but his offense is very solid and he is a good inside offensive point. His advantages are even not available to the current four insiders of the Knicks.

Al Jefferson was drafted by surprise.

He was startled himself.

In his previous draft predictions, he has always been at the end of the first round.

However, the Knicks gave him this surprise.

He rushed to the stage excitedly.

When I shook hands with Stern, there were tears in my eyes.

Then in an interview, he said: "I am so excited. I never thought I could be selected by the Knicks. My performance in the trial training was not good at all. Thanks to the Knicks, I will definitely perform well. I will definitely I will do my best to help Jack achieve the fifth consecutive championship."

What a sincere boy.

Fan Xi sighed in his heart.

Then there are only the 17th pick, the 21st pick, and the 38th overall pick and the 56th overall pick in the second round.

The Knicks selected Andre Varejao with the 17th pick after a long wait. With the 21st pick, Trevor Ariza was selected.

Afterwards, Fan Xi left the draft war room.

Because there are no players he is optimistic about among the remaining players.

Being able to pick Iguodala, Varejao, Al Jefferson, and Trevor Ariza already made Fanhee very happy~lightnovelpub.net~ But, when Fanhee came out of the war room.

He got a call from Sprewell. The madman was silent on the phone for a long time before he asked Fan Xi: "Aren't you going to keep me? Jack."

Fan Xi thought for a while, and he said: "You should accept the five-year, $50 million contract from the Timberwolves. When you get there, you will form a super strong team with Marbury and Garnett. , no problem ruling the West."

"The Knicks really can't match your contract."

Fan Xi said sincerely: "In any case, please don't choose less money because of my personal relationship with you."

The madman was silent on the phone for a long time.

He said: "Okay, I'm going to Minnesota, and we'll see you in the finals."
