Three minutes and thirty-three seconds, three minutes and thirty-two seconds...

Time is still passing, and the tug-of-war of interests has put both sides in a stalemate, both the St. Louis Rams and the Green Bay Packers are so tense.

"Billy." Lucia Rodriguez lowered his voice and called Devani, "A salary cap of 10 million is very valuable to us now; and we need an explanation to the fans that you and the coaching team have just arrived, and we need the support of the fans to start the season."

Ruddy.

Ruddy.

Thompson noticed the trivial sound on the other end of the phone. Although he couldn't hear clearly and didn't know what was going on, he knew that the St. Louis Ram was shaken, so he stepped forward and said to the Octopus, "Okay. Let's go out, that's it. We won't trade anymore. We'll choose Jason Smith."

"No, no, no, no, no, calm down, calm down, Ted, don't worry." Dewani immediately panicked, and his voice came over, "Okay, let's trade, we'll trade now, that's fine, right? I'll give you all your signing position, how about it, is it OK?"

Thompson pressed the interrupted but not hung up button on the octopus to make sure the other side couldn't hear their discussion, "What else do we need?"

"Continue to raise the price?" Lu Yiqi immediately reacted, but the problem was that there was no player worthy of their request in the St. Louis Rams. "A three-round pick."

Thompson asked again with his eyes. After getting Lu Yiqi's affirmation, he pressed the button again, "Sorry, the conditions just now have been cancelled, and I won't count anymore."

"What!" Dewani roared irritably.

"Thirty seconds, it's another world. Billy, our world is changing too fast now, and it's hard for us to keep up." Thompson sat firmly on the fishing platform and leisurely.

"Absurd." Dewani laughed angrily, "What, what do you want now?"

Thompson stood up straight, with his hands folded on his chest, and said calmly, "I want the first and third rounds of this year, as well as the first and second rounds of next year."

"Where did this come out? Ted, you know, your request is too exaggerated, right?" Devani protested again, but despite the protest, his tone and attitude had no tough attitude.

"It doesn't matter. What's important is that I need a third-round pick, and our coaches need to look for more players worth digging in the draft." Thompson said lightly, as if it was taken for granted, "Simply put, because I like it."

"You're crazy." Dewani said directly.

"Yes, I think I'm crazy. Hasn't today's experience proved this? Billy, there are two minutes and forty-eight seconds left in the countdown, and you won't want to miss your draft window." Thompson reminded, "Billy, say with me, you want Jason Smith."

silence.

Thompson put pressure again, "Billy, say it, don't be too slow, show a little courage. Or are you afraid of taking responsibility? Hum?"

Grass.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone, but Lu Yiqi could almost hear Dewani's heart.

"Done. Damn it, the deal!" Devani spoke.

ah!

Ahhhhh!

The entire Green Bay Packers' War Room was boiling, everyone jumped high, cheering and screaming, they actually did it! God!

Thompson hugged Lu Yiqi hard at the first time, and continued to pat Lu Yiqi's back, unable to hide his excitement and excitement.

Lu Yiqi was also full of emotion at this time. The tension and excitement of the draft were indeed well-deserved, but the remaining reason still controlled himself, "Trade, New York."

Thompson also calmed down quickly, turned around and shouted to the staff, "Check the transaction quickly." Otherwise, if time passes, the transaction will be invalid.

Two minutes and thirteen seconds, two minutes and twelve seconds... Time is still passing and is approaching the end. The St. Louis Ram must seize the time.

Fifteen seconds later, Goodell took the stage again, and then, everyone knew, the Green Bay Packers completed the deal with the St. Louis Rams again.

"Aqi, we have the ninth pick now, who should we choose?" Thompson turned to look at Lu Yiqi.

Lu Yiqi's gaze quickly flew across the whiteboard directly in front of him, "Alix Mark."

Center?

"Are you sure?" Thompson was a little surprised, because the ninth pick was really a luxury for a center.

But Lu Yiqi did not hesitate. He used the ninth pick to trade one of the best centers in the league in the next decade. Not only was he one of the best in the league in the decade, but he also booked a place in the Hall of Fame early on, laying the cornerstone of the team's offensive front line; most importantly, he was a down-to-earth and loyal player.

In his opinion, it is very cost-effective.

Because he had just completed a wonderful deal, Thompson nodded happily, "Then it's Alex Mark! Didn't I tell you that we really need to add to the offensive line? Moreover, this year is still a big year for the offensive line."

There was a burst of laughter in the war room.

Then, Thompson looked at Lu Yiqi, paused for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose. The cooperation just now really allowed them to see the power of tacit understanding. When they paid attention to Lu Yiqi again, their mentality changed subtly. Perhaps, his concerns were unnecessary. After all, both his and Lu Yiqi were both Super Bowl champions.

"How about it, Archie, can you call Mark? See if he is willing to join the Green Bay family?" Thompson took the initiative to propose the proposal.

Lu Yiqi could also feel Thompson's olive branch. He nodded with a smile, without refusing, "Of course, this is my honor."

Meanwhile, New York, Radio Concert Hall.

The St. Louis Rams, who completed the deal with the Green Bay Packers again, undoubtedly chose Jason Smith, and pressed the line to complete the draft before the countdown clock was about to be cleared, but finally did not time out.

Alex Mark sat quietly in his position, staring at Jason who was accepting congratulations from all the players, and a hint of envy appeared deep in his eyes.

In fact, he knew that the hope of centers being selected in the top 20 picks was very slim. This was the path he chose, but his envy was still difficult to control, just because his family was sitting opposite him. In order not to make them nervous, he could only do his best to control his emotions.

The cell phone rang.

Mark was not sure, so his father answered the phone, and after a few words, he handed over the phone. Mark took the phone in confusion, "Hello, this is Alex Mark."

"Hello, Alex, here is Archie, the coach of Green Bay Packers."

The sound from the other end of the phone was so familiar and so strange that Mark's heart stopped beating suddenly.

"I want to ask if you would like to come to Green Bay to play?"
Chapter completed!
