Chapter 22: Got a Rejection?
The 76ers' top management can be said to be very excited this time.
They had great expectations for this visit.
You know, looking at the entire NBA league, the status of the No. 1 pick is so precious!
They are selected from the best players among major universities around the world, the best of the best!
Even between teams, there may be slight differences in the positions of players that the team currently needs.
But true talent, without a doubt, is coveted by all teams.
Remember that sentence:
"If there is Joe, choose Joe. If there is no Joe, choose Shark!"
This is not a joke.
Even if the team is in urgent need of a center.
However, if you have the first-round pick and Jordan is one of the rookies in the draft.
Then choose Jordan and make him play center!
Therefore, the value of the top scholar is quite high.
Although there have been many fake champions in history, such as Emperor Oden...
But even these so-called busts are excellent players who played absolutely dominant performances in the NCAA!!
Because only players with extremely outstanding performance in the NCAA have the opportunity to be noticed by scouts and recognized by the team.
In other words.
Any NBA No. 1 pick would be overwhelming at the NCAA level!
However, this is how Simmons was selected as the No. 1 pick.
He was actually defeated by an Asian defender who was two positions younger than him?
This can no longer be called a defeat, but rather, complete domination!!
God!
Are you f*****g kidding me?
So today, the 76ers top management must come and see this man with their own eyes.
If Sashiro really has such talent...
So.
They must try their best to win!
Although they have already got the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.
However, if they use a future first-round pick and some chips, they may be able to get the No. 1 pick in the next year's draft!!
As long as Sashiro is worth it!!
Think about it, a Simmons who is extremely lethal in the interior, plus a rhythm-type guard like Sashiro who can attack, defend, and even grab rebounds at critical moments.
What kind of combination will this be!?
Fear!
This is simply unimaginable.
Their expectations are quite high!
And when they walked onto the campus, of course, many people were frightened by their presence.
Many people looked over here, wondering what these men in suits and ties were planning to do here?
Could it be that...
Is it Fobole??
Damn it!
Who broke the law!?
More and more people came to join in the fun, watching and following closely behind them.
I followed them all the way and walked into the school's gymnasium.
"Could it be that something big happened in the stadium?"
"I don't know."
"But this is such a big deal; it must not be a small matter!"
"That makes sense, so what's going on?"
"Um...I don't know either."
"Then let's see!"
...
The 76ers team executives arrived at the entrance of the UCLA arena. At this time, Coach Holland was arranging tactics for Sashiro individually.
Obviously.
In just a few days, the entire team has established a playing style centered around Sashiro.
All the team's previous training tactics and previously arranged playing styles have become invalid.
Everyone starts from scratch.
But the other players are of course willing to do so.
After all.
Who doesn't like to be able to cling to someone powerful?
Are you not happy about winning?
Then I will definitely follow whoever is more awesome!
and.
Players like Crewe who are disobedient and undermine the stability of the team have long been kicked out of the team.
At this time, Coach Holland saw a large group of people from the opposite side, following a group of people in suits and ties, and surrounding them from the entrance of the stadium. He was stunned.
He put down the coach's tactical board in his hand, walked up, and asked:
"I'm the team coach. May I ask who you are? What can I do for you?"
Facing Coach Holland's somewhat cautious questioning, the leader on the opposite side suddenly put on a kind smile.
Said very politely:
"Hello, I'm the general manager of the NBA 76ers team; my name is Brand!"
As he spoke, Brand extended his hand as a gesture of friendship.
Coach Holland simply shook hands, but his expression became more serious.
Because he knows.
The purpose of the other party's visit is already very clear.
That is, for Sashiro!!
Without a doubt!
As expected, here, Brand said:
"Excuse me... Is there a player named Sashiro on your team? We came here today specifically for him. Do we have a chance to meet him?"
At this time, the audience behind looked at each other.
I was stunned.
"Hmmmm???"
"Aren't they Fobole??"
"Aren't you here to arrest people?"
"Damn, such a big event, just to see a player?"
"In this case, I think it's more reliable if you say you came to see some celebrity."
"But...why does the name Sashiro sound so familiar?"
"Yeah, yeah!! I remember now; Sashiro is the one who defeated Simmons a few days ago, right?"
"Yes, I remember it too, that's it! And he defeated Owen!"
"I heard he's an Asian. It's said that Coach Holland even fired the previous main players of the team for him!"
"Holy crap, this is so outrageous? Are you kidding me?!"
"No kidding, seriously! And that No. 1 pick Simmons...seems to be the No. 1 pick selected by the 76ers this year."
"Ah!? So, the 76ers came here today... just to see Sashiro?"
"This is outrageous! Such a big event just to see one player!?"
"I'm getting more and more curious! What does Sashiro look like? Who is he?"
"Sister! I want to see it too!!"
...
When everyone turned their eyes to the inside of the stadium, the manager of the 76ers also looked inside, wanting to take the opportunity to see Sashiro in advance and call him out.
But basketball coach Holland is also a veteran.
Can't I see your little trick?
Coach Holland immediately turned around and blocked the door of the stadium.
Then he opened the door of the entire stadium.
"Sorry, the team is now in a critical stage of training, and no visits are allowed!"
No matter how much Brand begged, Coach Holland refused to give in.
Resolutely prevent the team from having any contact with Sashiro.
The 76ers' top management, who returned empty-handed this time, did not give up the idea. On the contrary, they became more interested in Sashiro.
Because the reason is very simple.
If Sashiro wasn't the new guy with great talent and potential, why would Coach Holland be so nervous!?
This is so easy to understand!
The reason behind Coach Holland's decision not to allow the 76ers' top management to contact Sashiro so easily at this time is that he has great confidence in Sashiro.
Joining the NBA is only a matter of time.
Now he doesn't need to let the top management of these teams contact Sashiro in advance, as this will only limit Sashiro's future development!
He wants Sashiro to make his own decisions in the future.
Besides.
After this incident, I believe more NBA teams will pay attention to Sashiro.
Just like the author once said a very philosophical words:
"What you can't get will always make you restless, and you will be biased..."
That's weird, how can I send a voice message?
In short, what you can't get is always the best.
Just like the 76ers executives who are now trying desperately to find an opportunity to contact Sashiro.
I'm so anxious!
