Chapter 1628 The Growing Peak Team

A brilliant rain of fireworks, purple and gold, chilled the entire Los Angeles, leaving countless fans still recalling it in their minds long afterward.

"This is the best championship parade the NBA has had in years." ESPN said on the front page the next day.

Sports Illustrated also used a photo of the Lakers team under fireworks that night as the cover of this issue, with the text: "The grand parade brings the most perfect end to the season."

It is worth mentioning that this is also the fourth time this season that all members of the Lakers team have appeared in Sports Illustrated, setting a new record for the same team to appear in Sports Illustrated in a single season. If you count the 3 times that Ji Feng has appeared alone. Times, once for Kobe, and once for the Big Five of the Lakers. The Lakers have contracted Sports Illustrated this season.

And as Sports Illustrated said, it is really appropriate to end the season with such an event.

In short, the Lakers dynasty has been established once again, and the next thing needs to be continued efforts.

For the Lakers, even if they are reluctant to leave, it is time to say goodbye. After the championship tour, the Lakers officially disbanded, and the next meeting will not be until nearly four months later.

Everyone travels, vacations, and participates in activities. Kobe even embarked on a long-awaited trip to Asia. He also made an appointment with Ji Feng to meet in SH in a few days. In addition, there are also people like Fama. This is also the norm for many players who enter the league early during the offseason. After all, diplomas are also very important. In short, everyone quickly entered the vacation state and couldn't wait to start the offseason. In the next week, Ji Feng was the only one left in Los Angeles.

It's not that Ji Feng doesn't want to leave, but firstly, he still has some activities to participate in here, and secondly, he also has to represent the Lakers in the 2010 draft held in New York. By the way, he has also been elected as this year's draft ambassador. , so he will stay here until the day before the draft, and then fly directly to New York. After participating in the draft, he will return directly to the country.

By the way, this is the second time that Ji Feng has become a draft ambassador. He was originally scheduled to be a star player, but there is no way. Ji Feng is really too popular. As a single-season Grand Slam player, other than him, The influence of others is much different.

Of course, this is also due to Ji Feng himself pushing the situation. Following last year, Ji Feng's agency will also have many people participating in the draft this year. As the boss, Ji Feng naturally wants to come and take a look in person.

It is said that Ji Feng formed his own basketball agency on a whim two years ago. He also imitated Dayao and named himself Feng's Team. It was originally for his own convenience, just like Dayao's team, so that he could focus on the court. matter.

Including recruiting Curry, DeRozan and others last year, they all did it to make their economic company look more attractive. After all, after recruiting so many people, they can't always be idle.

But I didn't expect that Ji Feng's agency was a blockbuster in last season's draft. Curry, DeRozan, and Holiday were all considered high picks. Not only that, the three of them also performed very well after entering the league. Eyesight, Curry almost won the Rookie of the Year, which made the Peak team immediately famous.

But what really made the Peak Team famous among players was that the Peak Team found very generous sneaker contracts for all its players.

For example, Curry chose to sign with UA. Originally, he preferred Nike, but Nike only offered Curry a 4-year, $6.4 million junk contract, so Curry directly refused. At this time, UA also Showing his sincerity, with Ji Feng's help, Curry signed with UA with a five-year, 40 million contract.

DeRozan also signed with UA for 20 million in four years, which is also more than three times larger than the contract he could get at Nike.

Other potential newcomers under Ji Feng have also received better contracts than they imagined, which directly increases the reputation of the Feng team among the players.

UA also organized a grand signing ceremony for them. Ji Feng and Curry appeared together. Maybe in a few years, UA will really have a chance to replicate the Adidas Five.

This has made the Peak team more popular. After all, apart from salary, most of the players' income comes from sneaker contracts. UA has already made a name for itself with Ji Feng. With Ji Feng as its backing, it can also sign more generous contracts. contract, which is tempting enough for most players.

And a super contract like Ji Feng's, which is worth 100 million yuan in seven years as soon as he debuts, is something that cannot be obtained once in decades. For most people, even if you are a lottery pick, it is basically the same price as Curry.

So this year, there are many rookies joining the Feng team, such as Fresno State University’s potential No. 3 pick, Paul George, a rookie who is said to be aiming for Ji Feng, and Gordon Hayward, a white man with a handsome face who also belongs to the No. 3 position. De, and one of the most promising players in this draft, DeMarcus Cousins ​​from the University of Kentucky, have become members of the Peak team. Others include Greg Monroe, James Anderson, etc. Newcomers are also favored by others.

Team Peak has also taken advantage of the situation and expanded into a large and medium-sized brokerage company with 200 employees. It can be said that it has been prosperous recently.

So Ji Feng naturally had to sacrifice some time to participate in this draft.

In the intervening days, Ji Feng lived a very leisurely life. After completing his dream of three consecutive championships, it was time to withdraw from the stressful days and enjoy life. After all, relaxation is life. The way.

So the citizens of Los Angeles were surprised to find that Ji Feng, who was rarely seen in the past, often wore casual clothes and went shopping with his girlfriend. He left his footprints everywhere, including Disney, the beach, and Hollywood.

Finally, on June 24, the 2010 NBA Draft officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden in New York.

A total of 69 NCAA non-graduate players and 16 international rookies under the age of 22 have signed up for this draft.

The Wizards won the No. 1 pick this time. This is still a pick that does not require thinking. John Wall is obviously higher than other rookies. The Wizards who are aiming to rebuild also quickly made their own choices. John Wall carries the hope for their rise.

But although John Wall is the protagonist of the draft, it is still the members of the Peak team who are high-spirited.

Soon, DeMarcus Cousins ​​was picked up by the Kings with the fifth overall pick, which set a new record for the Peak team's highest pick in previous drafts.

And soon, the Pistons, who got the seventh pick, chose Monroe. Although this was beyond Ji Feng's expectations, it still proved his vision. Although he was more optimistic about Paul George, after all, in the previous team building, Paul George He is the only guy who scored a goal from Ji Feng. No matter how you say it, there is no doubt about his talent.

However, Ji Feng was not made to wait too long. The Jazz and the Pacers selected Hayward and Paul George with the ninth and tenth picks respectively, while James Anderson was selected by the Spurs with the 22nd pick. In this way, Come, all the players from the Peak team who participated in the draft were selected in the first round.

"A huge economic company is about to take shape." Buckley sighed. As long as we maintain this vision, the Peak Team will become the next Big Mac in less than five years.
