Chapter 638 Draft Conference
After the business was negotiated, the relationship between the two parties suddenly became much closer. After all, Isabella would be considered her own person in the future.
"We have the No. 5 sign in our hands, right?"
Isabella asked.
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince. Although I personally think it is a bit of a loss to choose someone who doesn't even dare to participate in the training camp with the No. 5 lottery."
Ujri expressed the voices of most general managers.
Isabella shook her head.
"It's not your fault, because you don't know how strong Qian Chen is."
"Hasn't he just promoted to Lin Chu? Which one of the NCA who signed up for the draft is not Lin Chu?"
Lewick said curiously.
Elizabeth smiled coldly.
"Can the Fusion Chef be compared with traditional chefs? What's more, Qian Chen's most terrifying thing is his promotion speed. He has become a super chef for less than a year, and now he is Lin Chu."
Ujri and Levick couldn't help but look at each other. It would take at least three years for a fusion chef to be promoted to Lin Chu from the special chef to enter the cooking university.
The promotion time for traditional chefs must be extended to at least two to three times.
These things are not confidential, but Qian Chen will not write these on his resume, so the general managers of most teams only learned about Qian Chen’s glorious achievements in France from his resume, that’s all.
"Then, what should we do?"
"Trade up the signing position immediately, it is best to choose him with the No. 1 pick!"
Isabella cuts the railway.
Ujeri and Lewick looked at each other and said carefully.
"This is probably not easy... The Cavaliers have just entered the reconstruction period, and the No. 1 pick is basically not allowed. The teams ahead of us are basically the same, so..."
Isabella couldn't help but frown.
Ujri hurriedly said.
"Your Highness the Prince doesn't have to worry too much. The Knight has made public statements many times, and it's not Kyrie Irving.
The Timberwolves who hold the second prize and the Jazz who hold the Tanhua lottery also have their favorite chefs.
We can find a way to exchange their No. 4 pick from the Cavaliers, so that it will be basically foolproof."
"God blesses Great Britain, I hope it's best."
Isabella sighed.
To put it bluntly, businessmen and politicians have different directions in their view of problems. Isabella values the two king-level chefs behind Qian Chen, while NCA only values the commercial value of the chef himself.
After all, this place is not in the UK, and she has just established a cooperative relationship with the other party, so it is difficult to force the other party to use too many resources.
Of course, Isabella also knew that Qian Chen would not care about the millions of dollars, and the number one pick was more respectful.
Now it seems that things are a bit complicated, and this matter is no longer possible.
‘Just hope nothing goes wrong...’
Isabella couldn't help but pray in her heart.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers boss office.
The boss Gilbert kept shaking his head.
"This matter is not to be discussed, Altman. We have already agreed that we must choose Kyrie Irving, we have even spoken out through the media. Do you want the Cavaliers to be the joke in other people's mouths?"
"But..."
Altman just spoke when Gilbert waved his hand.
"You also know the situation of the team. You can no longer withstand too much fluctuation. In this way, we can choose him with the No. 4 pick. This year's signing position is still quite rich."
Altman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered something and said hesitantly.
"That Tristan Thompson..."
Gilbert spread his hands.
“We have not made any public commitments.”
"I understand, boss."
In fact, it is not just the Spurs, Raptors, and Cavaliers who are optimistic about Qian Chen, the Thunder team, which is known as the best draft pick in the league, the Rockets, which have a rich Celestial market, have also set their sights on Qian Chen and started moving in secret.
However, all these teams who were secretly targeting Qian Chen chose to make a fortune in silence. Their spending will depend on their own methods.
In short, the NCA draft officially kicked off in such a state of undercurrents.
On June 28, Madison Square Garden Venue.
This is the home court of the New York Knicks and is also a holy place for American chefs. Not only are the NCA drafts often held here, but American dragon chefs often choose here for public food.
In more literary terms, there are the sound of knives and forks and the aroma of dishes remaining in every inch of the corner here.
The venues that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at this time are now full.
"Shhh!"
Amid a warm "welcome" sound, Alliance President Stern stepped onto the stage with a smile on his face.
The white-haired Jewish old man made a great contribution to developing the NCA, a chef alliance that was once unparalleled in the United States, into a large alliance that influenced the world.
There may be many controversies about him, but no one can replace his achievements in the entire NCA.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to watch this year's NCA draft..."
After a leader-style speech that was so long that it was sleepy, Stern finally got to the point.
"Next, let's start officially, the first pick belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have five minutes to make a decision..."
At the same time, in a sea view villa in Sardinia, far away in the Mediterranean, Shiyu, Winessa, Black and White Shuangzhen, and even Erica, who received the news, gathered in the living room to watch the grand occasion of the talent show on the Internet TV.
Erica asked curiously.
"Where is Lord Qian Chen? Why didn't you see others?"
Winesa sighed.
"The senior said that the new dish he was studying has reached the final breakthrough. Don't bother him if you have nothing to do."
Erica suddenly widened her eyes.
Shiyu said with a resentful look on her face.
"He is probably the only one in this family who is not concerned about the draft at all."
"Wow! These guys look so weak!"
Zhenna suddenly screamed.
At this time, the camera's picture just changed to the 'little black room'.
After voting by the general managers of 30 teams, any chef who hopes to be selected by the lottery team will be invited by the league to enter a separate small room isolated from the outside world.
Each chef inside has a separate round table and can carry a small number of family and friends.
In order to maintain a sense of mystery, this small room, which is about the size of a conference room, is covered with thick black cloth, so it is nicknamed a small black room.
Although he suffered various ridicule, all the chefs who were invited to enter the dark room were talented figures with good reputation and strength.
At this time, Kyrie Irving, who was sitting in the front row of the dark room, was chatting with his economic man with a relaxed look on his face.
Several other top picks were either withdrawn or were unable to participate in the draft by accident. He received a public promise from the Cavaliers that the top pick was basically won by him.
Chapter completed!
