The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"Kevin Durant! You heard that right, it's Kevin Durant."

Wang Xiao lowered his voice, and reconfirmed on the other side of the phone.

He understands the doubts of the staff. After all, in 2007, Oden was recognized as the rookie king. No one in the same class can compare with him. Durant is not good, Horford and Conley are even more incomparable.

If it were him, he would also wonder if he heard it wrong.

"My dear king? Is there a question?"

Seeing Wang Xiao muttering on the phone for a long time, Kevin couldn't help asking nervously. After all, this is an important draft related to the development of the Blazers in the next ten years, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.

"Nothing, everything is fine."

Wang Xiao smiled, hung up the phone, then walked over to take a glass of red wine handed over by the other party, and slowly lifted it up. "For the Blazers, for the championship!"

...

At the draft meeting, Stern, who finished his opening speech, got the Blazers' draft letter from the staff.

The moment the letter was opened, everyone in front of the TV clearly saw Stern froze for a moment.

Yes, I froze for a moment.

He raised his head, looked at the camera, then lowered his head, and glanced at the contents of the letter.

After a long while, a smile finally appeared on his face, but the smile at this time looked more or less strange.

"The Portland Trail Blazers' option is...Kevin Durant, a forward from the University of Texas."

Kevin Durant?

In an instant, the space seemed to be quiet.

In the box, the expressions on the faces of Paul, Kevin and others froze, and those who were raised in the air were frozen and motionless.

Wang Xiao took a sip of the red wine lightly, and nodded calmly.

Well, the taste of the legendary Lafite is really not as good as imagined, not as good as Erguotou...

"Wang, what's going on? What have you done?"

After reacting, Kevin immediately turned his head to look at Wang Xiao, his eyes full of disbelief.

And several people around him have already rushed out of the private room, and some people picked up the phone.

"Dear Kevin, don't worry, just listen to me."

Wang Xiao smiled slightly, sitting on the comfortable leather sofa, facing several pairs of eyes that wanted to kill him, without the slightest nervousness.

"Oden is a waste, vulnerable. Once he arrives in the NBA, he will show his prototype immediately. Durant is the best choice. He will become one of the strongest forwards in history, and he can definitely become a pioneer for the Blazers. The cornerstone of the team."

"Shit! You damn bastard! You actually chose Durant behind our backs?" Kevin growled angrily. If the people around him didn't stop him, he might have rushed up to PK with real Wang Xiao.

...

At this time, Stern was also very generous. Looking at the surprised reporters in the audience and the rookies on the other side who were still in a state of confusion, Stern could only cough lightly, "The Blazers selected the team from Texas." The Kevin Durant of college."

Snapped!

Finally, someone came to his senses and patted Durant on the shoulder hard.

"Hey! Kevin, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and get on stage!"

Kevin Durant, who was in a dazed state, only reacted at this time, and quickly stood up and walked towards the stage.

When he got up, he paid attention to Oden beside him... His face was ashen, quite ugly.

Putting on the Blazers baseball cap and shaking hands with Stern, Durant still couldn't figure it out. Why did the Blazers suddenly choose him? Obviously Oden is still sitting there, and he has already negotiated with the Sonics who hold the second overall pick.

"Congratulations, kid, you're going to be a rising star in the NBA."

Stern said to Durant with a smile. After all, he was old and prudent. Although he was puzzled, his face was full of kindness.

After the two shook hands, they were about to take a group photo when a staff member hurried up and whispered something to Stern.

Then, Stern's face changed...

...

"Choosing Greg Oden is a decided matter! You agreed at the time! How could you change it to someone else without authorization? Moreover, Greg Oden is known as a super center that is rare in twenty years. Can that thin bamboo pole be compared? That kid is at most the second Nowitzki! He is also worthy to be one of the strongest strikers in history?"

Looking at Kevin who was almost going crazy, Wang Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. Are all the people in his dream so crazy? This girl is almost eating herself now.

"Let me say it for the last time, Oden is trash, Durant is awesome, I am the head coach of the team, and the players should be decided by me."

"You are a piece of shit! Can the head coach do whatever he wants and tamper with the decisions of the team owner and general manager at will?" Kevin yelled angrily.

"Kevin, that's enough." At this moment, Paul finally spoke.

Since Stern read Durant's name, the big boss of the Blazers has been in a state of silence, but when he spoke at this time, everyone fell silent.

"There is no point in arguing about these things now. Let people go and see how the talks with the league are going and whether a re-draft can be arranged." As he spoke, Paul looked at Wang Xiao, his eyes were cold and emotionless. "Mr. Wang Xiao, I originally thought that you could lead the Blazers to glory, but now it seems that I was wrong and you have been fired."

"Okay, whatever you want." Wang Xiao shrugged indifferently. It was just a dream anyway. He chose Durant as the No. Say it.

After drinking the red wine in the glass, Wang Xiao waved at the people in the private room, and walked out of the private room gracefully.

On the other side, Stern stepped off the stage, frowning at the staff.

"You said the head coach of the Blazers was crazy and maliciously tampered with their selection? What are you kidding?"

"I also thought it was a joke, but they were serious and stated repeatedly that they were going to choose Oden."

Stern frowned deeply. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. However, he has worked in the NBA for decades and organized so many draft conferences. With rich experience, he knows that the results of the draft must not be changed. !

He had already announced the draft results in front of the media just now, and he must not change them back. It would cause a great negative impact in front of the public, and the other 29 teams would definitely not agree.

"Tell them that the results of the draft have already been announced, and it is impossible to re-select. It is their business that their head coach is crazy, and it is impossible for the league to take this responsibility." Stern said in a deep voice: "This year's No. 1 pick is Kevin. Durant!"

"Bah!" Pounding his fist heavily on the table, Kevin cursed fiercely, "Damn shit!"

On TV, Stern has returned to the stage and began to announce the Sonics' second overall pick.

"The Seattle SuperSonics' selection is center Greg Oden from Ohio State University!"
