" The second pick in the first round of the 2009 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers chose..."
Harden was very excited off the court. During the Clippers 'trial, he performed very well. The Clippers' management and coaching staff also expressed their goodwill to him!!
Los Angeles was where he grew up. Although it wasn't the Laker, Harden dreamed of playing there.
"Blake Griffin from Oakland State University!!”
"F * ck!"
Harden cursed when he heard the name. What kindness? What hope? All of this was fake!!!
Griffin ran up excitedly.
"The third pick in the first round was selected by the Grizzlies. Tabit!"
" Tyreke Evans, the Sacramento Kings 'fourth pick in the first round."
" The fifth pick in the first round, Ricky Rubiao, was selected by the Nottingham Timberwolves."
Harden's mind was in a daze as he listened to the teams choose others.
Harden was starting to doubt his ability. He was starting to feel uneasy. Was he really not wanted?
"The sixth pick in the first round is James Harden, selected by the Nottingham Timberwolves!!!”
Hearing his name, Harden suddenly stood up.
The sixth place seemed to be pretty good!
There were two high draft picks in Minn, and Harden went on a tryout.
At that time, the Timberwolves 'management did not make many promises, but now that they had chosen him, Harden was still very grateful to them.
It was time to express his loyalty.
Harden ran onto the stage, put on his hat, shook hands with Stern, took pictures, and was pulled off the stage for an interview.
The reporter asked Harden," How does it feel to join the Timberwolves?”
Harden smiled and said excitedly,""I'm very happy. I've been a Garnett fan since I was young. I like to watch them play. I love the Timberwolves. That place is very good."
Harden said a bunch of words to show his loyalty to the Timberwolves in front of the reporters.
However, very soon, the reporter asked a heart-wrenching question at the end of the interview.
The reporter asked," James, according to the latest trade news, the Thunder traded you from the Timberwolves with Jeff Green and the 25th pick in the first round. Do you have anything to say now?”
Seeing the reporters covering their mouths and laughing, Harden was embarrassed.
"F * ck!"
Harden's face was a little hot.
Harden felt that it was his agent's problem. If his agent was reliable enough, perhaps this scene would not have happened.
However, his manager was not reliable enough to inform him of the deal that had been made in advance, making him feel so awkward.
Harden had wronged his agent, and his agent did not know either.
This deal could not be leaked to the outside world. It would only take effect after the Timberwolves successfully took down Harden.
Zhang Jun, who had just finished his interview, saw Harden and waved at him with a smile.
When Harden saw Zhang Jun, he instantly understood. Thunderclap wanted to replicate the connection he had with Zhang Jun in university. This deal was all for Zhang Jun.
She didn't expect that she would still have to rely on Zhang Jun to enter the NBA.
Although he was traded right after he expressed his loyalty, Harden now felt that it was not a bad idea to go to Thunderclap.
He wanted to be Zhang Jun's teammate again!
Harden was no longer embarrassed and said excitedly,"" I like Orlando. I like being teammates with Zhang."
Indeed.
Zhang Jun had single-handedly pushed Harden to Thunderclap.
Zhang Jun had repeatedly communicated with Presty over the phone in hopes of getting Harden to pass the ball for him.
After all, Harden was much more reliable as a passer than Wei Shao.
Prestige took Zhang Jun's request very seriously. The management team also held a series of meetings and finally targeted the Forest Wolves.
Harden's order was very high, and only a stupid management team like the Timberwolves could manipulate him slightly.
Jeff Green was a good bargaining chip, but his position was a bit dubious. Although he had an average of 16.5 points and 6.5 rebounded per game last season, Priesty felt that he did not have much potential to develop.
The Forest Wolves were quite optimistic about Jeff Green, so they hit it off!!!
The NBA was cruel. Today, you were still the team's sweetheart, but tomorrow, you might be Mrs. Niu…
.............
After the interview, Zhang Jun found out that Harden had also successfully traded to Thunderclap. This time, Zhang Jun's smile became even brighter.
Just thinking about having the Leiting Three Young Masters as his underlings in the future was enough to make one excited. When these three became successful and famous, wouldn't his historical status rise steadily?
The draft after that had nothing to do with Thunderclap.
A staff member from Thunderclap found Zhang Jun and Harden and led them to Thunderclap's room.
"Hello, Zhang."
"Hello, James!"
" Welcome to OkC!!"
Prestige and Brooks shook hands with Zhang Jun and Harden respectively!!
"We have always valued you very much. I believe that you can bring the team a championship together!!!”Prestie said excitedly.
"Zhang, do you know that in my heart, you are Tim Duncan and James is Ginobili? I like to see your cooperation.”
Prestige was very good at talking, and with a round of flattery, he placed Zhang Jun and Harden on a very high pedestal.
Zhang Jun was more used to this kind of situation than Harden. He was mentally older. Zhang Jun said,"I hope my talent can help the team.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Prestige asked Harden and Zhang Jun,"What number jerseys do you need?”
Harden thought for a moment and said,"13."
When Harden was in high school, his high school coach only had numbers 13 and 45.
Harden then chose number 13. He was used to this number and was unwilling to change it now.
"25," Zhang Jun replied.
"Zhang, why did you choose this number?" asked Prestige curiously.”
"This number just happened to exceed the number 23 and 24."”
Prestige clapped and laughed. He was very ambitious!
After a simple exchange, Prestige led Zhang Jun and Harden to the press conference with their unnumbered Thunder jerseys.
.................
At this time, on the Russian Internet, although the fans did not have much doubt about the selection of Zhang Jun, they were a little unhappy with the team's decision to exchange Jeff Green for James Harden.
Jeff Green was a player that the team had been training for two seasons. It would be a loss to switch to a defender who had played well with Zhang Jun in college. With Westbrook as the starting point guard, this operation was a bit of a loss.
Harden was too attached to the ball. How would the ball be distributed?
Some of them doubted it, but some of them defended it.
Harden and Zhang Jun worked well together, and the chemistry between the two was good. When the time came, they would be the ones to fight on the field, and Thunderclap's lineup would be further deepened!
With Harden's arrival, at least the Thunder did not have to worry about the reserve guard position.
Now that Thunderclap's lineup had gradually become more reasonable, Jeff Green's dubious playstyle was no longer suitable for Thunderclap.
After Harden returned to the hotel, he learned about the fans 'evaluation of him, and he felt a little pressured.
Zhang Jun signaled Harden to ignore the fans 'comments and just be himself.
