Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 242 [Big luck in the draft lottery! 】

Taylor Swift didn't want to go home, but was forced to go back by her parents after all.Taylor said that she wanted to go on vacation, and her parents said that the whole family would go together after his younger brother was on vacation.

"What should we do now? Aren't you going to explain things clearly?" Gao Tongxuan asked.

"I wanted to make it clear, but I felt that we couldn't make it clear. I knew there would be such a day, so I didn't dare to go further with Taylor. If we want to get married in the future, we can't marry both of you, right?" ? If the three of us don't get married and live like this, her parents will definitely not agree. Let's live like this first, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Hayes smiled wryly.

Gao Tongxuan didn't say anything, and she was still a little flattered in her heart. The relationship between her and Hayes is undoubtedly closer now.She believes that Hayes will become a legend in the history of basketball in the future, and she will feel very satisfied to be with Hayes even if she is not married for the time being.

Taylor was home, and Hayes wasn't home either, having been invited to the 61st Cannes Film Festival in France.

Hayes never thought that he would be able to appear at the Cannes Film Festival one day, and Gao Tongxuan also wanted to meet the world, so the two flew to France with the crew of "Kung Fu Panda".

On the first day, Brazilian director Fernando Merrills' new work "Blind Influenza" took the lead in holding the main creative promotion meeting as the opening film. "Blind Flu" is adapted from the work of the Nobel Prize winner and Portuguese writer José Saramago. It tells the story of a large-scale spread of blindness in a city and caused "blind" chaos. The system has been questioned.

"Blind Influenza", which has a golden creative team, is highly anticipated. However, after the special screening of the film in the media, it is slightly disappointing.After the film ended, there was silence in the entire screening hall, and it took a few seconds for someone to offer a little applause in a polite response to the opening film.Hayes had never heard of this film in his previous life, which shows how poor the quality is.

The next day, it was the turn of "Kung Fu Panda".

The crew assigned an important task to Hayes, making him the protagonist of the promotional event.Hayes found it interesting and readily accepted.

The promotional meeting of "Kung Fu Panda" was ingeniously placed on the pier by the beach.Hayes arrived at the beach on a fast yacht, and 40 "Kung Fu Pandas" that fully fit the animated image were laid out to welcome Hayes. Under the leadership of Hayes, these brothers in "Panda suits" He showed off his fist and kick skills in a rigorous manner. The scene was very spectacular and full of strong Chinese elements.Hayes wore a T-shirt with Yin-Yang gossip patterns and performed unorthodox Chinese martial arts. The climax of the publicity was a brawl between Hayes and Jackie Chan who came to join him.In a lively atmosphere, the Hollywood animation "Kung Fu Panda" staged its Cannes debut as a participating film.

After Hayes came to Cannes, he liked the local atmosphere very much, and the haze of being eliminated in the playoffs was swept away.

On the evening of May 5, local time in the United States, the 21 NBA draft lottery began.

Hayes and Gao Tongxuan watched the live broadcast of the draw at the hotel.

"God. Please give me the lottery. If there is no lottery, the top three are fine." Before the lottery began, Hayes folded his hands and prayed non-stop.Obtaining the top picks is an important bargaining chip for the Bobcats to enhance their strength.

The host announces the draft picks in order from back to front, leaving the suspense of the top three at the end. When announcing, they will hold up a sign with the team logo.

The No.14 pick in the lottery is the Portland Trail Blazers; the No.13 Memphis Grizzlies; the No.12 Saramento Kings...

Seeing these draft rankings, Hayes excitedly hugged Gao Tongxuan and kissed her hard, then laughed and said, "Tongxuan, you're lucky!"

"What luck?"

"The Sonics draft pick we traded should be next to the Trail Blazers, but the Bobcats' name has not been called at No. 12. There is only one possibility! That draft pick has been drawn into the top three. My goodness, that's not even a 5% chance. Hahaha, this is a big deal!" Hayes yelled.

The Bobcats have an extra chance at a high pick, which is a big deal.In addition to Lopez, they can also choose another strongman.Even if you don't keep it, you can still exchange for good players, which provides another opportunity for the team to strengthen in the summer.

No.11 is the Indiana Pacers; the tenth is the New Jersey Nets; the ninth is the Chicago Bulls...

The Bulls' record this year is higher than what Hayes knew in his previous life, and the chance of winning the No. [-] lottery is lower. Derrick Rose has no chance to play for the Bulls.

Eighth Washington Wizards; seventh Houston Rockets; sixth Milwaukee Bucks; fifth New York Knicks; fourth Charlotte Bobcats!
The draft picks traded by the Warriors failed to draw the top three, but fourth is not bad.In any case, Brook Lopez is already in the bag, and the Bobcats still have the opportunity to select Rose, Beasley, and Mayo.Although Hayes, Mayo and Beasley did not become All-Stars in their previous lives, their popularity today is no worse than Rose's. After being selected, they can be used as bargaining chips in trades. They can be used to exchange experience with other teams in the summer. A star who can make a difference.

The Los Angeles Clippers were lucky to get the No. 4.7 pick, and the previously ambitious Heat had no choice but to accept the fate of the second pick.The Bobcats' pick has a [-] percent chance of getting the No. [-] pick.See the wild applause and cheers of the draft fans.These people all support Hayes and the Bobcats. With two strong rookies, the Bobcats will greatly increase their strength next season and will definitely become a popular candidate for the championship.

The team rankings from 4th to 14th have been determined, and the teams from 15th to 30th are: 76ers, Raptors, Kyle's men, Pistons, Cavaliers, Bobcats, Nuggets, Mavericks, Magic, Jazz, Lakers, Spurs , Hornets, Timberwolves, Bobcats and Suns.

The Suns declined to the extreme, and the 20th pick was given to the Bobcats. Last season, the Eagles' pick was postponed to this season because they won the No. 30 pick.The Eagles made rapid progress and won the best record in the league, so the Suns could only get the [-]th pick.

This year's draft will be held in New York on June 6.The Bobcats are bound to make a difference.Although they didn't get the No. 26 pick, the Bobcats actually had better luck and had an extra top 5 pick!

Before the live broadcast ended, Jordan made an international call.

"Haha, Chuck, we are well developed. Did you watch the live broadcast of the draft?" Jordan laughed.

"Look, next month is when the Bobcats will rise!" Hayes laughed.

"Let me know when we get back to Charlotte, and we'll study who to choose for the third or fourth. I wish you a happy stay in France, my children are waiting to see your movie."

Hayes and Jordan had a brief chat and hung up the phone.

Hayes and Gao Tongxuan lived a fulfilling life in France. They not only met many directors and stars, but also the director hoped to cooperate with them in the future.His reputation in the entertainment circle has improved again.At the request of everyone, they also walked the red carpet together. Gao Tongxuan, who was wearing a lemon yellow evening dress, was very stealthy. Although both of them were a little reserved, because of their bright smiles, they killed countless films in seconds. Angelina, who attended with a big belly -Jolie and Brad Pitt were also compared.

Everyone is tired of Pitt and Jolie news. The combination of NBA stars and mysterious oriental beauties is even more eye-catching.Gao Tongxuan has filmed Taylor Swift's MTV before, and her relationship with Hayes is also a topic of great concern to people.Because of Gao Tongxuan, Li Ruotong, who has faded out of the entertainment circle, also became popular in China for no reason.

Hayes originally proposed to go together, but Gao Tongxuan would agree.Taylor was taken away by her parents, and Gao Tongxuan was also a little cautious. She also wanted to appear in public with Hayes once.With this experience, even if Americans support Taylor and Hayes in the future, they cannot easily exclude her.

The two returned to Charlotte by plane on the 29th. The NBA East and West finals have just ended.

The Eagles eliminated the Magic 4-1.

Yao Ming is the nemesis of Warcraft, and Howard can't take advantage of it in this series.Carter outperformed another Hawks All-Star, Joe Johnson, and the Magic's worst position was point guard.Jamal Nelson performed well in the first two rounds, but his weakness is obvious. He is only 183CM tall, and he is a bit disadvantaged when facing tall guards.Rodney Stuckey is 196cm tall and has super quality.Although only a rookie, Stuckey had the upper hand on the offensive end against Nelson.When defending, it also made Nelson a little uncomfortable.The switch between Stuckey and Johnson on the field is the magic weapon for the Eagles to win.Johnson is 201cm tall and playing point guard is not something Nelson can defend against. In addition, power forward Josh Smith also showed an excellent competitive state, beating Tony Batty every game.

The Western Conference finals were much more intense.

The play styles of the two sides of the game are somewhat similar. The main offensive routine is the pick-and-roll cooperation between the point guard and the power forward, and the offense is misplaced.

The Timberwolves are Iverson and Garnett, and the Hornets are Paul and West.Paul slightly beat Iverson, Garnett overwhelmed West.

Veteran McDyess and Tyson Chandler are at the same level. They are both blue-collar players who are good at rebounding and second offense. Chandler has stronger physical fitness and excellent defense. McDyess has mid-range shooting ability and slightly better offense. one chip.

The Timberwolves teenager McCants won a breakout season and still maintained a shooting percentage of 46.5% after entering the playoffs.The three-point shooting percentage is as high as 40.2%.With Garnett and Iverson attracting defenses, he can easily get open shots.The Hornets' Peterson was not stable enough.

Stojakovic is a long-established pitcher at the small forward position, and Grant Hill is more comprehensive.

The strength of the main players of the two sides is equal, and the performance of the role players has become the key to determining the outcome of the game.Compared with the bench, the Hornets are much worse than the Timberwolves. The only people on their bench who can take shots are veterans Bobby Jackson and Pargo.Even Ryan Bowen, who was waived by the Rockets, could get 10 minutes of playing time, which shows how bad their bench depth is.

The Timberwolves won two games at home, and then the Hornets returned to home to draw two games in a row.Chris Paul was able to send 24 points and 13 assists in the first four games, and his performance overwhelmed Iverson.

On the 29th, Iverson, who was stimulated by young people, finally showed his power in the fifth game, scoring 38 points, 6 assists and 3 steals, leading the Timberwolves to a 108-92 home victory over the Hornets, and achieved a crucial fifth victory.

On the 31st, the Timberwolves defeated the young Hornets 96 to 92 in an away game, and will compete with the Eagles for the NBA championship!
