At this time, this video was also playing in the office of the Lakers General Manager Mickey Czek.

"Not bad, very good. Ye Zheng's one-on-one strength is definitely the first in the draft training camp, which fully proves that our choice is not wrong. Look at his smooth ball-holding breakthrough, it looks like a person!"

"Are you talking about Kobe?" the scout asked uncertainly.

"No, it should be more like Jordan. Although you can see many shadows of stars in Ye Zheng, I feel that his basketball ability is the most similar to Jordan!" Mickey Cyck said with a smile.

At this time, the scout suddenly showed a puzzled expression on his face and said, "Ye Zheng once again showed his super basketball talent in training camp. In this way, will the Philadelphia 76ers compete with us? After all, he is the No. 1 pick. We have no choice but to choose Ye Zheng."

Mickey Cyck beat his fingers on the desk, and said with a look of winning on his face, "For the Philadelphia 76ers, how much do you know about Joyce Leopold, the general manager in charge of the draft this time?!"

The scout shook his head.

"This guy is very arrogant. What he believes is generally difficult to change. He never agrees with the Chinese basketball level, so just because of this, he will not choose Ye Zheng, so you can rest assured."

The senior executives of the Celtics basketball team have no intention of choosing Ye Zheng.

"Although Ye Zheng showed amazing basketball talent, basketball is a team game, and it requires five people to cooperate, one person, two people can't defend him, what about three or four? That's because he has not entered the NBA. Only players who have played know the defensive strength of the NBA."

"But this kid is really arrogant and dares to say such words."

"Yes, General Manager, Ye Zheng said this, but when he was playing in the face of the draft training camp players, he would definitely make him look ugly in the NBA field in the future."

"Haha! Young people are inevitably confused about the world. When they arrive in the NBA, I believe he will restrain himself a lot."

"General Manager, you're right!"

...

Since Ye Zheng crushed all the players in the draft training camp, the subsequent training life has been very stable and harmonious.

No player dared to provoke again, and they all became much more honest.

This is the change brought about by strength!

Time is like water, and time passes. The wonderful time of the training camp is spent quietly, ushering in the annual talent show.

This time the draft is the Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York!

Although Ye Zheng has shown strong basketball talent in the training camp, his prejudice against Chinese people cannot be changed by one or two people.

Especially Joyce Leopold, the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, held the No. 1 pick in his hand, and the expression on his face was extremely proud.

"The favorite candidate for the No. 1 pick this time is Ye Zheng! It seems that the 76ers are going to sign a powerful player again." The Rockets general manager asked with a smile.

In fact, the prejudice against Ye Zheng of China, the Rockets general manager is really not that big. He really wants to sign the other party, but he has no chance of winning the first place, second place, and Tanhua signing. They can only stare at others.

Joyce Leopold said with a smile, "You are so confused. Ye Zheng, I will never choose Ye Zheng. The Chinese have not that potential. You should take a long-term vision. I dare to guarantee that the No. 1 pick, the No. 1 pick, and Tanhua will not choose Ye Zheng."

The Rockets general manager frowned and said, "At the beginning, we chose Yao Ming with the No. 1 pick."

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted the opponent and said, "The current situation in the league is different from the past. The center was still very important at the time. Now it is mainly small balls. At the same height, American basketball players are much stronger than China, especially their future development potential."

"However, I heard that the Lakers chose Ye Zheng with the second pick?"

Joyce Leopold laughed even more, "This is the opponent's smoke bomb. You can watch it later. At most, Ye Zheng can get a second-round pick."

The Rockets general manager shook his head and didn't continue to say anything.

Then, the host shouted exciting words: "The annual NBA draft is about to begin!"

At this time, the host also started to have a hot game and asked the retired player O'Neal, "Who do you think is the favorite candidate to sign the No. 1 pick this time?"

"Of course it's Ye Zheng!" After all, O'Neal had watched Ye Zheng's game with his own eyes, and was still very confident about Ye Zheng's winning the No. 1 pick.

The host turned to another player, Nowitzki, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Of course it's Ben Simmons. He is known as James Jr. and is an all-around forward, just right now to strengthen the 76ers." Nowitzki gave a simple analysis and replied.

"It seems that everyone has their own ideas about the No. 1 pick, so let's invite NBA President Xiao Hua to reveal the answer to this mystery for us."

When Xiao Hua came on the court, he suddenly attracted the general managers of various teams! And the attention of the players participating in the draft this time.

Although the NBA has been lukewarm since Xiao Hua took office, he has made several reforms, which is still quite popular, especially reducing the number of back-to-back games for players, which also gives players more physical strength and play better games.

Xiao Hua walked to the center's announcement stage and solemnly announced, "The winner was Ben Simmons."

The announcement made the representatives of the teams on the scene a little uproar. After all, Ye Zheng has shown his unparalleled basketball talent. As long as there is no suspense, he will definitely win the No. 1 pick.

"how so?"

"Did the Sixers have other ideas?"

Joyce Leopold also heard these surprised voices, and he still showed a confident smile on his face. In his opinion, these team representatives are now calling out, and they will retreat one by one when they use the No. 1 pick to choose Ye Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Hua announced that the Los Angeles Lakers, who held the second pick, chose Ye Zheng!

This surprised Joyce Leopold. He never thought that the Lakers would really use the second pick to choose a Chinese.

This is a slap in the face in a blink of an eye!

Just now, I thought that the Lakers actually chose Ye Zheng as the smoke bomb used by the Lakers.

Joyce Leopold's old face was really full of pain!

"You guys are gambling!" said Joyce Leopold after holding it in for a long time.

Lakers general manager Mickey Cyck glanced at him and showed a disdainful expression on his face. Ye Zheng was played step by step from the NCAA basketball court, and Kobe was selected by himself. You said that he has no potential in the future, which is simply a big deal.

"Gambling? It's ridiculous. You're old and have no vision."

Of course, many team representatives looked at the two of them very exciting. What kind of performance will Ye Zheng perform in the NBA in the future? It will take time to test it.

The Celtics, who won the Title Lottery, chose Jaylen Brown without any suspense.

At this time, the host invited all three of them to the stage.

"I heard that Ye Zheng is invincible in the training camp. Do you two have anything to say?"

Ben Simmons showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he coughed and replied, "That, Ye Zheng is indeed very strong in fighting against one-on-one, I am not as good as him."

Hearing this, Joyce Leopold's expression was a little unhappy. The representatives of the teams in the audience made him even more uncomfortable. The candidate he appointed actually said something worse than the other party in the live broadcast in front of everyone, which was a bit of a continuous slap in the face.

The host looked at Jaylen Brown on the other side again. Jaylen Brown was very frank, and it could be said that he had no concealment at all: "Yes, most players in the training camp have fought with Ye Zheng, but they all lost, including me. It seems that Ye Zheng has the strongest ability to fight in this class, and there is no dispute about this."

The host continued to ask, "Then do you think, is it appropriate to choose Ye Zheng for this second pick?"

"Well enough!"

"I have no objection!"

Both of them were sloppy.

...

At this time, Ye Zheng's game video continued to be played in Mickey Cyck's office.

"Yes, this kid's talent is really enviable. It's really pleasing to watch his game. I believe that in our team, we will still bring us surprises."

Lakers basketball general manager Mickey Czek, watching Ye Zheng's game video, the shocked expression on his eyelid is still hard to cover up. Although he has seen it more than once, it can be said that he has watched Ye Zheng's first video of participating in the NCAA basketball game, but the more he watches, the more he can feel the strength of Ye Zheng's talent.

Every game is an improvement, which is why he dares to give Ye Zheng a second pick.

"How is it, coach Walton, will Ye Zheng's joining improve the team's record?"

General manager Mickey Cyck turned to look at the Lakers head coach Walton who watched the game with him this time.

Walton nodded very seriously and said, "I have watched all Ye Zheng's game videos. It can be said that his talent is amazing, and this talent has only been shown in Jordan or Kobe and James. If you choose him this time, I believe that it will definitely make the Lakers change. Of course, it is still necessary to adapt to NBA games at the moment. I plan to let him come on as a substitute first."

Mickey Cyck waved his hand and said, "Your coaching staff can discuss these issues, I will not interfere."

Then he looked at Eddie Thorndike, who was the team's legal counsel.

"Have you made an appointment with Ye Zheng? Let's sign the contract today."

"He's here soon!"

At this time, Ye Zheng had already arrived in Mickey Cyk's office. Mickey Cyk looked at Ye Zheng with a smile and pushed the contract on the table over.

"Is this a rookie contract?" Ye Zheng asked.

"Yes, 2+1+1! This is a four-year contract, but the team has the last two years of team options. The salary for the first year is $3.5 million: the second year is $3.9 million, the third year is $4.5 million, and the fourth year is $4.7 million, and the average annual salary for the four years is more than $4 million." Eddie Thorndike explained next to him.

Ye Zheng looked at the contract carefully and found that there were no hidden treaties.

The two sides signed the contract in a pleasant exchange. After signing the contract, Ye Zheng also became the middle class in the United States and was no longer a poor person.

The four-year middle-class contract can be said to be the most money Ye Zheng has ever seen.

"Ye Zheng, you are rich now and should hire an agent, which is conducive to your future development." Mickey Cyck said while patting Ye Zheng's shoulder.

Ye Zheng spread his hands and said helplessly, "I really don't know who is suitable for this agent?"

"I recommend you an old friend of mine, Bill Duffy, who has 30 players and 3 All-Stars. Last season, under the operation of his old friend, McConley won the highest contract in the league. I believe that after you join, you will definitely leave you without any worries outside the arena." Mickey Cyck said seriously.

After all, Ye Zheng is his own player and needs to devote all his energy to the court in the future, so he recommended Bill Duffy, an agent who can help players solve various difficulties outside the court. He has the title of firefighter in the NBA league.

"Oh well!"

At this time, Ye Zheng's rookie contract had been posted on the Lakers' official website, which made many Los Angeles fans very excited.
Chapter completed!
