Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 2 Lost?
"In the 1999 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls selected... Elton Brand with the first overall pick in the first round!"

There were no surprises, although in the finals of March Madness, Brand lost and also lost the MVP of the Final Four.

However, he still defeated Hamilton and other competitors and became the final champion.

"Congratulations, Elton!"

Wang Hao immediately stood up and congratulated Elton Brand on the table next to him.

"Thank you, Lao Wang, I look forward to meeting you in the NBA."

Artest was a little disappointed, but he still smiled and congratulated his good friend.

Odom was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he came over to congratulate Brand.

Looking at Brand, who was about the same height as him, Wang Hao felt a little pity, as a power forward, he was a little short.

If he can have Odom's height, maybe Elton Brand can grow into the top power forward.

Next, the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Steve Francis, also known as the boss of Fernando.

However, Wang Hao knew that this small player with a distinctive personality did not want to go to that place of ice and snow.

Later, Francis was quickly abandoned by the NBA after his state declined, which had nothing to do with it.

In the third pick, the Charlotte Hornets chose Baron Davis, the bearded man who led the Warriors to perform the miracle of black eight.

Until the fourth pick, Lamar Odom was also taken away by the Clippers.

Seeing that two friends have entered the NBA one after another, and the picks are still very good, Artest is obviously a little disappointed.

But it's normal, in terms of talent among the three, Artest is definitely the worst, but in terms of hard work, Artest is the hardest.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the same hard training that Wang Hao and Artest became good friends.

Regardless of the occasional brain twitch, Artest is indeed a very loyal friend.

Looking at the lost Artest, Wang Hao did not comfort him, because he knew that Artest would be selected sooner or later.

On the contrary, it was himself, really a bit suspenseful.

Look at the media's evaluation of Wang Hao, the civilized version of Artest, to put it bluntly, is the weakened version of Artest.

It was by virtue of Artest and Wang Hao's tough defense and fighting on the flanks that the Red Storm was abruptly carried into March Madness.

Not only that, they even made it to the top 32.

It's a pity that with Artest plus a weakened version of Artest, there is no way to go further.

The media once commented on Wang Hao in this way. Wang Hao does not have Ron's strong body, nor is he fearsomely overbearing. He is not Ron Artest, and he needs more means.

A very clear analysis shows that it is impossible for Wang Hao to become Artest. If he insists on learning like this, his achievements will be limited.

It is precisely because of this that, as the second leader of the top 32 teams in March Madness, Wang Hao's draft prediction is not good.

From the first stage of the second round to the defeat, there were really ups and downs.

But Wang Hao can't help it. Whoever asked him to join St. John's University, not Duke or North Carolina.

Sure enough, as the draft continued, at the No.15 pick, Artest's name finally sounded.

"In the 1999 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Ron Artest from St. John's University with the No.15 pick in the first round."

"Yes!"

Hearing his name, Artest waved his fist fiercely, looking very excited.

"Congratulations, Ron."

"Old Wang, I am waiting for you in the NBA. I know that the NBA is the stage where you should appear."

I have to say, it's still a pity that Artest was able to enter the lottery zone just a little bit.

Don't look at the difference of just a few picks, there is still a difference between the lottery area and the non-lotto area.

Artest doesn't really care, he just wants to enter the NBA, not to mention, he can get together with the old players in the Bulls.

Even, he is already considering whether he can ask the Bulls to give him a chance if Wang Hao loses the draft.

If it's just Artest, the Bulls may not care, but don't forget, there is also Brand.

After receiving the Chicago Bulls hat and shaking hands with David Stern, Artest returned after a while.

Logically speaking, most of the players who have been selected will not come back again. Artest is obviously to accompany Wang Hao.

"Old Wang, to be honest, you don't need to worry, you are only a freshman, you can wait until next year to run for election."

In fact, this is not the first time Artest has raised this issue, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

After all, Artest thinks he can hit the No. [-] pick, so Wang Hao has every chance to enter the NBA.

But now, Artest's No. [-] pick is gone, and seeing the end of the first round of the draft, he still hasn't heard Wang Hao's name.

"Ron, of course I understand, but you also know that without you, the team's results next year will definitely be ugly.

That being the case, I might as well take advantage of this year when the team's performance is better and the media attention is higher. "

Artest also understands that the draft sometimes selects not only the strength, but also the popularity of the players.

After all, reality is not a game, and it is impossible to express a person's ability in the form of numbers.

The evaluation of a player's ability is actually only a rough range, or a relative comparison of players of the same type.

I still haven't heard my name, if I say I'm not in a hurry, it must be a lie.

Since no one else could see it anyway, Wang Hao simply clicked on the system.

It's a very simple system, a bit like the attribute panel in a basketball game. The upper half is profile information and a large avatar.

……

It is a very conventional system, if there is anything special, it is the bottom section, the learning section.

This is really a learning system.

I don't know if it's because Wang Hao doesn't like to study, so he specially set up a system for him to study.

Study object: Ron Artest (72)

Matching degree: 60%
Learning skills: tough defense (100% progress) (60% acceleration) (30% acceleration)
