Chapter 20 It’s not that he is not worthy of being the top scholar, but that the third place is more cost-effective!
For Chen Hao, this draft is actually not very important.

Because he is sure that he can enter the NBA, that is enough!

As long as he enters the NBA, he will find ways to make the team's head coach trust him and let him play an important role in the team.

After all, I have a system plug-in. If I can't even do this, I would be really useless!

But his agent Pelinka doesn't think so. He really values ​​Chen Hao's potential and believes that many team general managers have also noticed Chen Hao.

So what Pelinka did was to communicate with the general managers of the top ten teams in the draft to confirm whether they were really interested in Chen Hao.

Although it is impossible for the general managers of these teams to tell Pelinka their true thoughts, chatting with them can also guess their true thoughts from just a few words.

Pelinka is worthy of being a professional agent. With his operations, he successfully captured some important information.

That is, the general managers of the Hawks and Celtics seem to have a special attention to Chen Hao, which Pelinka is extremely sure of.

The only thing that is uncertain now is what kind of deal the two teams have reached privately.

But the good news is that Chen Hao should be selected in the top five, which shows Pelinka's confidence in his judgment.

After reaching this conclusion, Pelinka finally felt relieved.

This draft pick has already made him very satisfied. After all, Chen Hao showed his talent a little late.

Although the NCAA tournament finals were impressive, there were still too few games, and some general managers of some teams are still worried.

But now none of this matters. As long as Chen Hao can be selected among the top five picks, Pelinka will be confident that he can get a maximum rookie contract for Chen Hao.

This is his professional ability as a broker, and it also helps him to gain greater profits.

When Chen Hao heard Pelinka's judgment, he was also a little surprised.

Chen Hao has no special personal feelings for the Hawks and the Celtics.

Although he used to be a fan of Yao Ming, he fell in love with the Rockets because of his love for the Rockets.

But now that I have joined the game, I will no longer have any personal feelings towards the NBA team.

But then again, if Chen Hao had to choose between the Hawks and the Celtics, he would still prefer the Celtics.

After all, compared to the Hawks, the Celtics' market is relatively larger, and their team history is more glorious.

In particular, the Celtics have many historical grievances with the NBA powerhouse Lakers, and in the later period they also have many stories with the Cavaliers.

This puts more attention on the Celtics, which is important.

Although personal strength is important in the NBA, reputation is equally important. The more attention you receive, the easier it will be for your reputation to become famous.

Now that you have become an NBA player, it is natural that you want to be the best player in the NBA.

So if you choose the Celtics, at least there will be more exposure opportunities, after all, the market is there.

At the same time, Chen Hao is quite familiar with the Celtics this season. Their general manager will complete a stunning three-way trade with the Supersonics and the Timberwolves in the summer to form the Green Army's Big Three.

The next season, they successfully won the championship, and since then started the NBA giant model.

But if the Celtics selected Chen Hao, would they still form a Big Three?
There is a question mark here. Chen Hao does not understand the real thoughts of their general manager An Ji.

However, if Chen Hao were to do it, he would definitely not choose to form a Big Three. After all, having him is equivalent to having the qualification to compete for the championship. The rest is to give the ball to him and let him get the damn championship.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao smiled knowingly. It seems that the gears of NBA history will start turning after this draft!

2007 6 Month 28 Day.

Madison Square Garden, New York.

The 2007 NBA Draft will be held here.

The ESPN TV station in the United States will broadcast the draft live to more than 200 countries and regions around the world.

This is also a grand event for NBA teams.

At the draft, all participating players were dressed in their best, mostly in suits and ties, sitting next to a small round table with nervous expressions.

The camera first focused on the hot candidates for this draft, Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, and of course Chen Hao, who has been very popular recently.

It can be clearly seen from the camera that Chen Hao was obviously the calmest.

He even took the initiative to greet the camera, looking quite relaxed.

As for Oden and Durant, their expressions seemed very serious, especially Oden, who already had a look of deep hatred and resentment on his face, and now he looked even more serious.

Especially the wrinkles on his forehead. If no one told him, others would think he was already forty years old.

As for Durant, who will become the king of temperament in the future, his eyes were full of confusion at this moment, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable with such a scene.

Looking at Durant's expression, Chen Hao found it hard to imagine that he would become a famous internet troll in the future.

It turns out that you really can't judge a person by their appearance. Who would have thought that such a guy who looks like he has severe social anxiety would actually say "I want to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water"?
Just when Chen Hao was lost in thought, there was a sudden commotion at the scene.

When Chen Hao looked towards the draft podium, he found that President David Stern was already standing there.

The old man is still in good health at this moment. He speaks in a loud voice and at a steady pace.

With a smile on his face, he announced the official start of the 2007 NBA Draft, and the Trail Blazers, who had the No. pick, would have five minutes to choose a player.

After saying this, David Stern walked down from the podium.

And the next five minutes are destined to be a long wait for many players who are favored to be the No. 1 pick.

Especially Oden and Durant, their expressions became more nervous, Chen Hao even noticed that Oden's feet seemed to be shaking.

As for Durant, his eyes were even more blurry, as if he would fall asleep at any time.

For Chen Hao, the five minutes passed quickly, and David Stern soon walked onto the podium.

The Trail Blazers general manager also handed envelopes with the players' names to staff.

Inside this envelope is the name of this year's top draft pick!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the envelope.
