Chapter 180 Preparation

Author: Different Sparks

Three days after winning the championship, Minneapolis was almost empty, as if the entire city had come. Thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the parade route, and every sight was packed with people.

Today's parade route will be a city-circuit route, starting from the Target Center, then the motorcade will circle around the inner city of Minneapolis and then return to the Target Center. The entire journey would normally take less than 20 minutes.

, and today’s parade took a full hour.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen!" After the tour, everyone in the team began to stand up and give speeches. When Chen Dazhuang stood up, he smiled and waved to the dense crowd below, and what he got was like a landslide and tsunami.

of cheers.

Gradually, these cheers converged into one voice, "Chen, Chen, Chen..."

After a season of training, the pronunciation of Timberwolves fans has become more and more standard.

The fans' chants continued, as if this was the only way to express their respect for Chen Dazhuang. It can be said that the moment the Timberwolves won the championship, Chen Dazhuang's popularity in the entire state of Minnesota had already reached a new level. It is said that the Minneapolis city government

There are already discussions on erecting a bronze statue for Chen Dazhuang.

Chen Dazhuang, who was standing on the open-top bus, lowered his hands slightly, and the shouting suddenly stopped.

From this action, we can see Chen Dazhuang's status in the hearts of fans.

"I am very happy today. I feel like I am dreaming until now. We have completed an incredible season, and all of you have contributed to this. It is precisely because of your support that the team can achieve its current results.

, but I believe this is not the end, this is just a starting point for all of us. I think there will be such activities in the future. We still have to compete for our second and third championships, and this is inseparable.

Thank you for your support!”

Suddenly, thunderous applause and cheers erupted again.

"Next, I would like to thank my coaching team. They are Smith, Stacey, Bill, and Mosley. They use their serious and responsible attitude and professional knowledge to help me complete every preparation training. Thank you,

As for the staff of our team, of course there is one person in particular who I would like to mention, that is our general manager Mr. Newton. Thank you for your hard work!" Speaking of this, Da Zhuang also bowed to everyone.

"Finally, I want to thank one person in particular, a very important person in my life. She is Kelly Turner. I want to say thank you, honey, I love you!"

Kelly also seemed very excited and happy, and kissed her directly on the bus.

The entire parade lasted for more than two hours.

With the championship parade over, the entire Timberwolves team also began their vacation. However, Dazhuang and his coaching team and Milt and his uniform staff were not able to start their vacation yet, because one week later, June 26th

, the 2014 draft will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

This year's draft is believed by the outside world to be a big year for the draft, and as the new NBA champion, the Timberwolves have multiple draft picks and naturally need to plan carefully.

During this period, various predictions for this year's draft have frequently appeared in major media, and teams with lottery picks have naturally been in the media news frequently.

Anyway, there are all kinds of gossips flying all over the sky. Today, who is the team's favorite? Tomorrow, which head coach thinks whose talent is so strong? Followed by NBA celebrities, they also began to leave the game, and they began to evaluate and predict who can enter.

Players to the green room.

On the second day after the parade, Chen Dazhuang also brought his coaching team to the team's conference room. At this time, Milt and his assistants were already waiting for him.

"Chen, we are very popular now. Many people have been looking for me recently. The No. 4 pick is so eye-catching. Can you tell us what your specific plans are? Who we need to invite for a trial training."

"Can you tell me first who is looking for you?"

"Many, Cleveland, Dallas, Chicago, Boston, etc., more than half of the league's teams have contacted me, and their goal is the No. 4 pick in our hands."

"Shetter, what's the point of contacting Cleveland and Dallas? What do they have in hand? The Cavaliers don't want to trade LeBron with me, do they? There are also Dallas people. I remember they only have the No. 13 pick in their hands. Why?

Oh, does he still want to exchange the No. 13 pick for my No. 4? I'm not stupid."

"Chen, this joke is not funny. Besides, even if the Cavaliers want to trade for LeBron, he can't trade it now. As for Dallas, they want to use the No. 13 pick plus some cash in exchange."

"Then ignore these two. We are not short of money, but when it comes to the Thunder, we are unlucky enough."

It is indeed like what the two people just said. First of all, it is an open secret for the Cavaliers that James will return to Cleveland next season. And why the Thunder are unlucky is because you use the Dallas Mavericks' first-round pick this year.

Odom was sent to the Lakers due to the trade, and later ended up in the hands of the Thunder. However, this was a first-round pick protected by the top 20. Unfortunately, the Mavericks ended up with the 13th pick in this draft lottery.

When I think of this big guy, I feel like I really have a bad connection with Dallas. In my previous life, the No. 13 pick belonged to the Timberwolves.

"You just said that people in Chicago are looking for you. What's their situation now?"

"Chicago has two first-round picks, one is their own No. 19 pick, and the other is the No. 16 pick from the Bobcats."

"What do you mean, do they want to trade these two? No, it's too low. If there is someone in the top ten, I can still consider it. This one will definitely not work. What about Boston?"

"Boston holds a No. 6 and a No. 17 in his hands."

"This is good." When he heard this, Chen Dazhuang immediately became energetic. This is indeed very suitable. If it were changed to this, Chen Dazhuang would support it with both hands, but obviously he was too happy.

"Chen, they are only willing to exchange No. 6 and some cash. They are not willing to hand over No. 17."

"What the hell are you talking about? Everyone thinks we are paupers, they all like to throw money at us." After hearing what Milt said, Da Zhuang was immediately discouraged.

Damn this group of people are all as smart as foxes, why is there no one to take advantage of them at this time? This bullshit No. 4 pick sounds quite advanced, but it is of no use to Da Zhuang.
Chapter completed!
