After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 6
Time flies by, and before you know it, it's the day of the draft.

During this period, Li Chengming and his father really had a good time in New York, and their mentality gradually calmed down.

After all, he is still young, if it wasn't for the sudden emergence of such a system, he would never have thought of entering the NBA, even with Liu Nayeon's stimulation.

Now that I have come out this trip, the influence of the failed confession has almost been eliminated, and the worst thing I can do when I go back is to be laughed at, which is not a big deal.

It's just a pity. After all, he looked at the system mall and felt that there are still many good items. If he can succeed in the draft and officially join the NBA, he believes that he will soon be able to embark on a broad road.

Because after the trial training, he received a new task:
[Current task: Participate in the NBA 2007 draft and be selected successfully, reward 10 calorie consumption]

This is naturally a great temptation for Li Chengming, because there are many things that can be exchanged for 10 energy consumption in the system mall. It can almost be said that as long as he can get this, he can take off directly.

As long as he is selected, even if the team doesn't put much effort into stocking him, he can continue to seek other opportunities. After all, being selected and losing are two concepts, and after being selected, he may become a bargaining chip in the trade.

Although it is not a happy thing for a player to become a bargaining chip, but for something valuable, people must first see how it is, and give him a chance to show it. As long as he can show his ability, he will be signed. Opportunity, and then play, and then everything will be a matter of course and a matter of course if there is a performance later.

Although Li Chengming doesn't have great hopes now, and he is even mentally prepared to lose the election, but it's all here, so he has to read the results first.

Even if the final result is not good, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end.

Of course, Li Chengming didn't go to the scene, not because he felt that he would not be selected, so he broke the pot, but because he had no chance.

The attention of this draft is still quite high, especially the participation of domestic players, which has attracted the attention of the Chinese and American basketball circles. Therefore, at the draft site, there are many media and spectators, and the ticket prices are all hyped. old high.

Without a complete guarantee from the Magic, Li Chengming didn't want his father to spend that money.

Anyway, no matter whether he is on the scene or not, it will not change the result, so just watch the live broadcast on TV.

When it was time to turn on the TV, the father and son sat on the sofa in the hotel together and watched the live broadcast of the draft.

The previous picks are not unexpected. It can also be said that the media’s predicted rankings are somewhat reasonable. Every team has their own needs and will make corresponding choices, especially if the front-row rookies are not the core. It will be focused on training and rarely used for trading.

The Blazers used the No. [-] pick to select Greg Oden, the Ohio State University freshman with the title of "The Great". In this year's NCAA tournament finals, one person almost beat Joakim Noah and Al Horford internal combination.

Although the team lost in the end, this did not affect his talent being recognized by the NBA.

The No. [-] pick was picked by the Seattle SuperSonics, who selected Kevin Durant, a high school player from the capital.

Al Horford was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the third overall pick, and Space Yi was snatched by the Milwaukee Bucks with the sixth overall pick.

Afterwards, Li Chengming didn't pay much attention to the pick. He felt that it had nothing to do with him. Of course, all kinds of news were flying around the draft, and he also read a lot of speculations. Basically, there were no particularly outrageous choices. Everyone's choices are relatively conservative.

Soon after entering the second round, Li Chengming's heartbeat quickened immediately, and he checked to see if there was any hope.

The Lakers selected Sun Dasheng with the 40th overall pick, and soon it will be the Magic's pick. Li Chengming's heartbeat is getting stronger and stronger.

In the middle were three people I didn't know at all, and then——

"The 44th pick in the second round, the Orlando Magic's choice is Rayshawn Terry!"

When he heard that he was not selected by the Magic, Li Chengming was a little disappointed at first, and then angry at being tricked.

But then he sighed secretly, knowing that his anger was useless.

Father Li turned back and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Fortunately, with the previous psychological preparation, Li Chengming's heart is at least not so uncomfortable now.

"It's okay, I told you earlier, just come out to play." Li's father was actually quite disappointed in his heart, after all, there are no parents who don't want to see their children succeed.

What's more, Li Chengming did perform well, and although he has relaxed these days, there is still a layer of anxiety and haze in his eyes, which Father Li can also detect.

Li Chengming shook his head with a strong smile, saying that he was not affected, but how could it be possible?
But when Father Li was about to turn off the TV, Li Chengming suddenly shouted: "No!"

"What?" Father Li turned his head instead and looked at him strangely.

Li Chengming hesitated for a moment, sighed and said with a wry smile: "I still plan to finish it, even if I don't have a chance..."

Father Li looked at him silently for a while, then nodded with a smile, "Alright then, I'll watch with you."

Li Chengming nodded gratefully. He felt that the luckiest thing for him was to meet a father who could understand him and even accompany him to "crazy", and his mother always tolerated him.

If it weren't for such a growth environment, he might not still maintain his optimism and positiveness until now-even his weight has been optimistic and positive...

In fact, in their opinion, there is no need to pay attention to the subsequent draft picks. After all, they have only tried out with the Magic, and other teams probably don't know that there is such a rookie as Li Chengming.

Even the Magic didn't choose him now, and it's even less likely that others would choose him.

The only possibility is that the Magic made a pre-draft trade. Father Li and Chengming Li did a little research on this in their spare time, but they both felt it was unrealistic.

That may be that the Magic really think that the person they selected is more in line with their needs. Maybe he has to find that person's playing video later to see how he is better than himself.

Li Chengming was thinking in his heart, and was suddenly pushed by his father. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the TV screen and opened his mouth wide.

"The 60th place in the second round, the Dallas Mavericks chose Li Chengming from Huaguo!"

The attention of the second round of rest is naturally not as high as that of the first round, and the later the pick, the more no one cares about it. After the 50th place, it is probably just a miss.

It's not like Li Chengming didn't think about whether there would be a team behind him. "Hey", he suddenly found out that there was a player from Huaguo, and then considering the market in Huaguo, he thought that there were not many picks in the back anyway. Because of his usefulness, he was simply chosen to develop the Eastern market.

Although this kind of thinking is a bit nonsensical, people's considerations are definitely not based on this point, not to mention that if they really want to, they should be able to learn some trial training information from the Magic and contact themselves in advance.

But during this period, not to mention these NBA teams, even the domestic media did not notice his existence at all.

He seems to be a transparent person in this rookie class. Of course, this is mainly compared with his two compatriots.

But he never expected that his idea would actually become a reality!
