Chapter 681 "UCLA Double Junior" Starts NBA Career (Part [-])
"The Bobcats want to use the seventh pick to make a deal with us, they are willing to send this year's second round and next year's first round~!!"

Behind the draft stage, an employee of the Seattle SuperSonics' alternate team spoke to Brooks.

As the assistant coach of the team, Brooks was able to attend the draft scene in person, which also shows the importance that the team and Brooks attach to the draft.

"No change, the Bobcats are the ninth overall pick, and we can't find the player we want in that position~!!"

Brooks responded, flatly rejecting what looked like a very tempting trade request.

"Then you really decided to choose that player~?!"

The other party continued to ask.

"It's decided, that's the choice~!"

Brooks said.

It appears the Sonics have made their choice.

Soon, Stern returned to the stage with an envelope containing the Sonic "answer."

Because starting from the fourth pick, there is a lot of suspense. The players after that are all average in ability, and no one is in a thriving state, so it seems reasonable who is selected.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected with the fourth pick~"

"Russell Westbrook from UCLA~!!!"

As a result, Westbrook was selected without any warning or preparation.

This UCLA second-year guard, this explosive guard who is inextricably linked with Lan Shengli, was picked at the fourth pick.

"Yeah!!!"

"Oh~!!!!"

The cheers and exclamations on the scene were almost evenly divided.

The cheers are from the Sonics fans, and the exclamation is from the audience.

Because in the mock draft and past draft prices, Westbrook is at best a player on the edge of the lottery. Most of the time he hovers on the edge of the first round. It is simply "magic" to be selected.

Westbrook may also feel amazing, maybe he never thought that Stern would read his name, so when all this came true, Westbrook was stunned first, and then took the lead in standing ovation from the sidelines Reminded by the cheering mother, Westbrook realized that he was really chosen~! !
Westbrook stood up, finally showing that iconic "innocent smile", and hugged his mother tightly.

The arrival of this moment makes all the hard work, sweat and time spent in the past have value and meaning.

Westbrook hugged his brother and other relatives, as well as his teammate Love at the adjacent table.

"Congratulations, new NBA player~!"

Love simply congratulated.

Although the words are short, the friendship is long.

"The next one is you~!"

Westbrook said in a joking tone, still grinning with big teeth, put on a supersonic hat, came to the stage, and shook hands with Stern.

"My God~!! Westbrook~!! Haha~!!! Your dream has come true~!! You are already standing in the spotlight~!! You are already the one that everyone is looking at, haha~! ! You really succeeded~!!!"

Lan Shengli looked at this picture, put his hands on both sides of his nose, looked very surprised and relieved, and said.

Having worked with Westbrook this year, Lan Shengli knows how much effort Westbrook has put in to make it to the NBA.

The first one to come to training every day, the last one to leave, and he must practice more during the break. In terms of hard work, no one in the entire UCLA may be able to match Westbrook.

And Westbrook is already the kind of player with extremely high physical talent, and it is really terrifying to work so hard under such circumstances.

"Oh, I thought Westbrook would fall to us. In fact, if it wasn't for avoiding suspicion, I really wanted the Clippers to choose Westbrook, and I also thought that the team in front of us would choose Westbrook. He, even I thought the Heat would choose Westbrook, but it is already amazing to be selected with the fourth overall pick. Come on, Westbrook, I believe that with your ability and your talent, in Under the guidance of Mr. Brooks, you will definitely be able to improve to a higher level~!! The NBA is the place where you can truly display your full abilities~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

"But having said that, Mr. Brooks is really a guy. He clearly knows that Westbrook is also considered "my man", so he didn't say hello before choosing him. It's a bit too much~!!"

Lan Shengli thought about it and began to tease him.

"The Supersonics now have last year's No. [-] Kevin Durant, plus Westbrook today, the lineup of the twin stars has been completed. These two people seem to be the core combination of the Supersonics in the next few years. Yes, Mr. Brooks can do it~!!"

Lan Shengli thought and sighed.

"Westbrook was picked away, leaving only Love. I thought Love would be picked by the Sonics, but in this way, everything is messed up,,,"

Lan Shengli continued to look forward, and continued to sigh.

While speaking, Stern smiled and returned to the stage with the envelope.

Because the Grizzlies made a deal with the Timberwolves before, so this time the Grizzlies can be regarded as helping the Timberwolves choose someone.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected with the fifth pick-"

Stern opened the envelope and said.

"Kevin Love~!!, from UCLA~!!!"

Westbrook's casual statement just now came true, and Love was really selected immediately.

Unlike Westbrook's first reaction of being stunned, Love's first reaction was a long sigh of relief.

As if finally freed.

Perhaps Love had already thought that he would be selected in this pick.

After all, Love's previous mock draft was a lottery pick, so it is not surprising that the result is certain.

Love also hugged his family, handsome men and beautiful women stood up, forming a unique landscape in the draft.

The overall appearance of the Lefu family should be the highest in the entire draft.

Although wearing the hat of the Grizzlies, Love will report to the Timberwolves in the distant Minneapolis in the future.

"Haha, it seems that this is a double cannon, the two brothers were selected one after another, maybe it is God's will~!!!"

Lan Shengli looked at the way Le Fu and Stern shook hands, shook his head, and said more calmly.

"It's not so much the success of the two of them as it is the success of UCLA. The fourth pick and the fifth pick. UCLA has achieved the best results in the draft in recent years~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to sigh.

In this way, the "UCLA Shuangjun" was selected one after another, officially starting their NBA career.
