(Ask for recommendation, ask for recommendation, ask for recommendation, say important things three times~)

The Timberwolves already have a goal, and the choice is clear, Paul George at the small forward position and Eric Bledsoe at the point guard.

Paul George from Fresno State University is the most important target of the Timberwolves in this draft. During the trial training, the Timberwolves did not show any enthusiasm, and there was no scandal with Paul George.

The Timberwolves maintain such a low-key attitude just to select Paul George in the draft to prevent being cut off by other teams!

Paul George's skills are very comprehensive, steals, scoring and defense are very good, the fly in the ointment is that his offense with the ball is not good, but in McHale's view, the Timberwolves already have Li Shihao's ball on the outside, so Paul George is not good at it Attacking with the ball is a great advantage!

In McHale's view, Paul George is very talented. He can score, rebound, defend and steal, and can pass the ball to assist his teammates. Such a versatile skill can be said to be the perfect puzzle for the Timberwolves. With time, he will definitely be able to become a suitable helper for Li Shihao in the future, and the next Pippen is also uncertain!

Before the draft, it was the Indiana Pacers who had an affair with Paul George. The president of the Pacers, Larry Bird, is also a well-known coach in the league. He also has a close personal relationship with McHale. It can be said that he knows the basics.

However, this time McHale had a bad idea. He planned to cut off from the Indiana Pacers and snatch Paul George first!

After all, the Timberwolves' draft pick is at No. 10, while the Indiana Pacers are at No. 12. The difference of two places can sometimes cause unpredictable changes!

However, there are still nine teams in front of the Timberwolves to face choices. It is impossible to predict whether there will be a team that is optimistic about Paul George and will take the latter first!

Fortunately, everything was calm and there were no accidents. It was the Timberwolves' turn to announce their tenth pick!

Li Shihao smiled slightly, looked up at the dark, thin and tall young man in the small green room, and submitted the choice in his hand.

The envelope was quickly delivered to David Stern. The white-haired David Stern glanced at the contents of the envelope, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and announced with a weird smile:

"The 2010th overall pick in the [-] NBA draft was Paul George out of Fresno State, picked by the Minnesota Timberwolves, nice guy..."

David Stern showed a smile on his face, and interjected a rare line of praise. As soon as the words fell, the audience immediately elicited exclamations.

Even Paul George in the small green room is a little dazed at the moment. He has already made a private agreement with the Indiana Pacers before the draft. President Larry Bird is very optimistic about himself and gave himself a clear answer. He will choose himself!

However, who would have thought that just after reaching the tenth pick in the draft, he was cut off by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and such a thing would happen to him?

At this moment, Paul George, who was proud in his heart, was also stunned at the moment, completely unaware of what happened!

In the area of ​​the Indiana Pacers, Larry Bird, who is very good at nourishing his energy, couldn't bear it at this moment, and secretly cursed "Bitch!"

Originally everything was planned, who would have thought that McHale, who was far away in the Minnesota Timberwolves, would also step in!

Larry Bird did not hesitate at all, immediately connected to McHale, and said angrily: "Mike, can you tell me what's going on? You should have no interest in PG!"

When McHale received a call from his friend Larry Bird, he calmed down and said calmly on the phone: "Larry, you should understand that we also need an excellent No. [-] player, and the all-round PG is our investigation target. , he is very suitable for our lineup, on the contrary, I think you already have Danny Granger as the core of the team, what do you need PG for?"

It can be said that McHale has brought into full play the kung fu of hurting friends, making Larry Bird full of anger but unable to vent it!

Larry Bird's abdomen rose and fell a few times, he let out a few breaths, calmed down, and said, "Mike, make an offer. I want him. He's the one I like!"

McHale, who was far away in Minnesota, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and then said into the microphone: "Larry, I'm sorry, he is not for sale!"

As soon as the voice fell, McHale hung up the phone, not giving Larry Bird a chance to continue talking!

In the empty general manager's office, McHale's eyes flickered inexplicably, and he murmured in a low voice: "Larry, do you think this is still the era where you are in charge?"

"No, it has changed a long time ago, you can't change everything!"

…………

The draft did not stop because of accidents, and continued.

With the 18th pick in the first round, the Timberwolves chose Eric Bledsoe from the University of Kentucky!

With the 45th pick in the second round, the Timberwolves chose Paul Priestes of the Spanish League!

With the 56th overall pick in the second round, the Timberwolves selected Hammadi Ndiaye from Rutgers University!

Then, the Timberwolves immediately made a deal, selling Paul Priestes and Hamadin Diaye in exchange for Hassan Whiteside, who was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 33rd overall pick in the second round.

Finally, when the Phoenix Suns selected Dwayne Collins of the University of Miami with the 60th overall pick in the second round, the 2010 NBA Draft officially came to an end!

In the draft, a young man with the same yellow skin as Li Shihao stared blankly at the people who had already started to leave, his eyes full of disappointment.

He doesn't understand why no team is willing to choose him. Is he really not good enough?

At this time, a powerful hand of the same yellow color was placed on his shoulder. The young man looked back and said with a sob in his mouth, "Brother Hao, I still lost the election!"

Li Shihao smiled slightly, and then said: "Shu Hao, don't worry, the Timberwolves have already planned to provide you with a two-year guarantee contract of 200 million!"

Jeremy Lin froze on the spot, muttering slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.

Li Shihao stretched out his hand and patted Jeremy Lin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Boy, the summer league is coming soon, prepare well, if there are no accidents after the summer league, the team will sign with you. Waiting for your dinner treat!"

After Li Shihao finished speaking, he looked at Jeremy Lin with a narrow smile until a look of surprise gradually appeared in the latter's eyes.

"Shuhao, I have said a lot of good things for you, don't let me down!" Li Shihao sighed secretly in his heart.

The reason why the Timberwolves provided Jeremy Lin with a two-year guarantee contract can be said to be to train Jeremy Lin as Li Shihao's backup point guard. This kind of treatment can be said to be not much different from Eric Bledsoe in the first round. !
