The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 43 The Birth of the 77 Combination

What Zheng Tie wants now is to move forward quickly. Otherwise, if this step is wrong, many subsequent plans will be shelved.

The previous events had nothing to do with Zheng Tie's fate, the current events were what he should care about.

The seventh place, the original seventh place, see if there will be a different situation in the previous life because of my "thought change card".

Zheng Tie looked at Stern on the stage, muttering something silently, and you would know that he was muttering silently, the name of a certain white man.

Steve Nash, Steve Nash, Steve Nash, Steve Nash…

At the general manager's desk, Elgin Baylor, a draft pick representing the Clippers, suddenly paused on the phone. He didn't know if he should choose Wright.He felt that he should choose, but he didn't know what was going on, and today he suddenly became "beaten" by the white guard from Santa Clara University.

This kind of heartbeat has no reason, just like that feeling of... love at first sight.

He read a book recently, and that book said, "True love" is what you can't explain clearly.

Well... For example, I can't find any reason to be "heart-moving" about the white kid from Santa Clara University right now. On the contrary, Lorenzen Wright, who was originally set, can come up with a lot of reasons in my mind. .

Could it be that the former is "true love"?Is it the real "heartbeat"?
Americans believe very much in intuition and feeling. If you look at biographies of their famous people and even parchments, they all have similar sayings.So at the last moment, after a long battle between heaven and man in Elgin Baylor's mind, he finally made up his mind.

Immediate decision!We still have to pursue "true love" for which we can't find any reason.

If you want to listen to the book, it is a man, you have to choose someone who is really "heart-moving".

Yes, I, Elgin Baylor, am definitely a real man.

So, I want to be brave.

It took a long time for Stern to receive the final confirmation. Stern looked at it, and read out his lines in a calm manner as before:
"The Los Angeles Clippers, who have the seventh pick in the 96 draft, their choice is..."

"Senior guard from Santa Clara -- Steve Nash."

ha?When Stern read his name, the two people in the little green room were stunned.

One is Steve Nash. He doesn't understand why he was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers. He originally thought that he would be selected last in a small green room.Unexpectedly, I was selected at seventh place.

There is another person with a confused head, that is the "protagonist" originally selected by the Clippers, our Lorenzen Wright.

At this time, his eyes widened and his ears straightened, as if he still couldn't believe what he just heard.

After all, before that, he was ready to stand up and accept the cheers and applause from the members of the Little Green Room.

how do you know...

But, why, didn't the Clippers try out me and tell me that they would definitely win me?

Didn't "Master Baylor" tell me "affectionately" to let me pack my luggage and come to Los Angeles to look after the house?

Why did you change your mind in the end?Is this what the adult world is like?

Can there be some truth, kindness and beauty in the world?

Don't you guys know that I already found a girlfriend in Los Angeles in advance?
But in the audience outside the Little Green Room, Zheng Tie suddenly stood up excitedly after hearing this voice, and showed a happy, flower-like smile on his face.This made Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping immediately nodded and said:

"Well, he still looks a little boyish."

"To be so happy for others, he must have suffered a lot as a child."

No, Director Zhang, when did you develop this joke of "I suffered hardships when I was young", I really was 17 years old when I woke up.

I, here... really don't have a childhood.

Nash brought a few caps with the Clippers. In fact, for him, it is the same wherever he goes, and he has no requirements.

And being selected in a high pick means that he will get a higher salary.

It’s just... I don’t necessarily have to be 191cm even if I put on my shoes and hair. This won’t be discovered. I’m so scared.

At this time, Nash suddenly saw that there was someone below who was smiling happier than himself. That smile was really warm, sincere, and worthy of deep friendship.

It's him?It's that Dongfang high school student.

Don't blame him for having a good memory, it's not that he remembered Zheng Tie's appearance all at once. Different races are really "face-blind".It's hard to remember if you are not familiar with it.Mainly here... Only one Oriental will come, so who else can it be if it's not Zheng Tie.

Orientals are indeed... they are kind and good people.

It was just a one-time relationship, but he was so sincere about my success. I really... really want to be a teammate with him.

When the "Halo of Favorability" is triggered, Steve Nash's favorability level increases.

Um?Why was the "favorability halo" suddenly triggered?What the hell is this?What did you do to Nash?
Forget it, it's fine, anyway, it seems that the 50% chance of the SSR card is really useful.

I... won the bet.

If Nash is on a team, sorry, my original rookie practice plan will have to be completely rewritten.

Because my style of play is really... very suitable for Nash.

And with Nash, his own shortcomings can be fully hidden.

It's just... so cool.

In this case, the promotion and salary increase of Bai Fumei are slowly beckoning to herself.

When I think about it, why am I not happy? In this case, I don’t have to "go" in my rookie season.You can start straight away.

Therefore, Zheng Tiecai applauded not only for Nash's early selection, but also for his rookie season.

That's why "smiles are like flowers", and Steve Nash is infected.

After shaking hands with Stern, Nash also went down, and almost everything behind him didn't change much from the original one.

The eighth pick was Kerry Kittles, well, a skinny monkey nicknamed "Mosquito."

Later, because he was too thin, he was injured and retired at the age of 29. It is completely false that he can be ranked here.

The ninth pick is the University of Louisville's power forward insider, and Dallas took it, which is another thing that the insider is good at the market.

The data of 5+4 in his career has no NCAA performance at all. It belongs to the type that can play in the NCAA and play in the NBA.

Dampier, the "second center in the universe" with the 90th overall pick, was acquired by the Pacers. He could earn close to 12 million US dollars in his career. He completely took advantage of the loophole. His strength would have been blown away in the 12s. There will be no ball to play in the era. Except for a breakout in a certain contract year and a wave of [-]+[-] statistics, the rest of the time, they are just a human shield for self-entertainment and have no sense of existence.

On the contrary, "clear people make clear" is more popular.

The No.11 pick is another NCAA player who is completely unsuited to the NBA. He is too lazy to mention it, wasting time, and went to teach mathematics after retiring.Looks like math suits him better than basketball.

The No.12 pick is the Ukrainian Great Pyrenees, Vitali Potapanko, who has a long career and poor statistics, one meat shield, and the next.

Then there is Shining and cute, No.13 pick.

There is no doubt that he is a hot man, one of the only high school students in this draft, the former historical iron king from Lower Merion High School in Philadelphia, Kobe Bryant.

Little Kobe was very excited when he stood up, and even gave his family a close kiss, looking like a well-behaved child.

Of course, he will be transferred by the Lakers immediately, and wearing the Hornets hat is just a formality.

This little episode is very interesting. The head coach of the Hornets, the Celtics star Dave Cowens, clearly told him that "the Hornets don't need him."But the person involved denied this, and only admitted that the team did need insiders back then, and there was Curry in the team, um, the father of the elementary school student in later generations, and Glenn Rice, etc. They didn't need guards. .

No matter which one is true, at least one thing is explained. At that time, the Hornets did not want to keep Kobe Bryant at all. As for those false messages, they should disappear in front of the two parties.

The No. 14 pick Stojakovic was followed by the Kings.

The only surprise is that the [-]th pick was originally supposed to be Nash's position, but because of Zheng Tie's shot, um, the interference of the card was successful, it became Lorenzen Wright.The young man looked depressed, and he was not very happy wearing a Phoenix hat.

He didn't understand why the Clippers felt that he was very good and satisfied with the trial training, but they didn't want to come by themselves.

He is really depressed.

It's not just embarrassing, after all, the words have already been said, and the real beauty is reduced.

For the fifteenth pick, the rookie contract is nearly half as much as the dollar amount for the seventh pick.

The starting salary of the seventh pick is about 150 million, and the No. 15 rookie's contract is less than 120 million in the third year.The former will cost 200 million in the third year.This is a real loss of money.

What's more, if this happens, the elementary school girl he just talked about in Los Angeles will probably be ruined.

With so many things added up, why doesn't he "shake with anger".

So when he was interviewed, he said that he was not very happy, but this was misunderstood by Phoenix fans, because he looked down on Phoenix and Phoenix.Well, it won't be easy for this guy later.

Really, poor.

Then Majorin O'Neal with the No.17 pick was taken by the Trail Blazers.A King's right-hand man in the early stage, the center big Z, Ilgauskas was selected at the 20th place.

NBA "Cao Mengde" fisherman Fisher was selected by the Lakers with the 24th pick.

The last one is the unlucky guy of the Bulls. After being selected, the Bulls immediately abandoned him and could only join another team with a minimum salary.

At this point, the first-round pick is completely over.

Generally speaking, the key point is that, but because of Zheng Tie, the subsequent second-round picks made Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng even more nervous and worried.

Although it's not surprising that Zheng Tie was not selected in the first round, but if he is not selected in the second round, then...

Now the NBA's underestimation of yellow skin is too obvious. Zhang Weiping and Xu Jicheng are really afraid that Zheng Tie will lose the election, and then his will will be depressed, and his whole person will plummet.

In this round of the show, David Stern is still standing on top. Although it is a bit unconventional, in this league, David Stern is the boss, and he basically has nothing to say.This small change, no trouble at all.

In a word, labor and capital are for the NBA, for you to make more money, so who dares to have an opinion on this?

After a short break, the second-round picks began to be selected. The gap between the second-round picks and the first-round picks was huge. There were no individual player videos, nor too many music and lights.If it weren't for David Stern being here this year, there might not be many reporters left, and they would all go to the little green room.

"The 30th pick." Because there are only 29 teams now, and the 30th team has not yet come out, so No. 30 directly becomes the No. [-] pick in the second round.

"Houston's pick is ... forward Osella Harrington from Georgetown."

Unexpectedly, she would have the opportunity to shake hands this year. Osella Harrington was also a little nervous and almost broke David Stern's hand when she went up.This made the latter very unhappy, but on the surface he still maintained a professional fake smile, well, a smile.

"The Philadelphia 31ers' pick at No. 76 is..."

Until the 36th pick, which is the 7th pick in the second round, David Stern made his smile more sincere and brighter for a long time, and said word by word:

"The Los Angeles Clippers' selection with the 1996th overall pick in 36 was..."

This time, it was the same as in the first round of the show. He deliberately paused, and then said:

"A high school student from Huang Jesus High School—Zheng~Tie~"

The second-round break is not as popular as the first-round picks and the Green Room. There are only sparse applause. After all, everyone is discussing the first-round picks and the Green Room players now, and there is no time to watch these "bad tastes after dinner".

Except for the two middle-aged people in the press box, their hands were about to slap red, and they seemed happy and excited.

"Old Zhang, Lao Zhang, did you see it? It was chosen! Xiao Zheng was chosen!"

"I see, it's really not easy, it's not easy, it's not easy for Xiao Zheng, the hard days are finally over. It's not easy, young man."

Well, your old catchphrase Ganqing is now available?This sentence is not easy, it really evokes the youthful years of "Greasy Uncle".

Seeing Zheng Tie wearing the Los Angeles Clippers hat, several people in the small green room applauded him.

Walker thought to himself: This kid really did it, and he can happily shoot three-pointers again.

Steve Nash: The seventh overall pick?Are you really going to play with him?Could it be that when we met in the gym that day, everything was... God's arrangement?amen~~~
Little Kobe: He really came~ Very good, I will blow you up in the game, Zheng~
There are also some American high school students who saw Zheng Tie on stage in front of the TV. At this moment, they all have expressions of shock, envy, and jealousy.For example, a high school student whose calf was in ecstasy, as if he would never wake up, after being stunned at this moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and cheered himself up.

He has done it all, there is no reason why he can't do it.

I will go next year too!Don't go to college!I'm going to the NBA too!

There was also someone who was originally complacent because he went to a good NCAA university. At this moment, he was in a daze and said nonchalantly: "Why did you join the NBA directly? Didn't we agree to be the 'A-Tie Group'? Why did you You have to let me go."

At the same time, Rick Pitino, the head coach of the University of Kentucky, was also watching the draft in front of the TV. He didn't think of the Eastern high school student who "spoke wildly" and "rebelliously" before. The... succeeded.

Skip the NCAA and enter the NBA directly.

Thinking of what the Dongfang high school student had said to him that day in the training camp, Rick Pitino was a little dazed and didn't recover for a long time.

In short, Zheng Tie did it. With the seventh pick in the second round, he successfully joined the NBA.

Looking at the lively scene in the little green house, and then looking at himself, Zheng Tie suddenly got excited, thinking about something silently in his heart, and David Stern, who was shaking hands with him at this time, suddenly changed his face, I can't keep my professional smile.

For the sake of image, I can't speak loudly, so I can only squeeze out my voice unnaturally while maintaining the corner of my mouth:

"Zheng~Zheng~hand~my hand~"

Ok?
Only then did Zheng Tie react and quickly let go of David Stern, looking embarrassed.

"It's okay, Zheng~ Your handshake this time is enough to impress my old bones."

David Stern made a joke, and then deliberately said a few words to Zheng Tieduo, this is to show people on the other side of the ocean, so that the NBA will have a better chance of entering the other side of the market, emmmmm, the future is bright.

People's brains are bright.Will not do loss-making business.

Sigh~ I just hope he can stay in the alliance for a few more days, so that I have more time to open up the boundless market in the East.

He had wanted Chinese players to come over several times before, but unfortunately it was not possible due to injuries. Now his only hope for Zheng Tie is... to play a few more seasons.

That's it.

……

Dang ~ Congratulations to the host for joining the NBA as a high school student, successfully skipping a level, and getting a reward of 100000 "force points".

When ~ get 1 bonus skill copy card.

When ~ get 1 Injury Repair Card.

When ~Reminder~ Novice Village is over and NBA-level missions start, hosts are requested to prepare themselves.

……

As for the people behind, Zheng Tie didn't pay much attention. He only knew that he would have money soon, so he had to do some things, otherwise, he would always be thinking about it in his heart and couldn't stop thinking about it.

This is also something that has been decided long ago.

A trip back home is imperative.
