I'm a basketball star

Chapter 114 [Draft Conference 2]

"Fans and friends, the unfinished NBA season has just ended, and the highlight of the draft will be ushered in immediately. Which team's fate will change today, and which rookie will usher in a turning point in fate? Compared with any In NBA competitions, the draft is the real battlefield without gunpowder. A game is only about winning or losing, but the draft can change the fate of a team for the next ten years."

"Yeah, every year in the draft, we can witness the birth of many multi-millionaires. They may have nothing yesterday, but they will attract the attention of everyone overnight."

"At this time, I really want to use all my wealth to change another opportunity, not because I want to be young, but because he is really exciting."

"Come on, you Charles, you can't go back. If you go back again, you are not qualified to play a guard, and you are too short to play a center. Maybe there is a team willing to pick you up in the second round. I feel sorry for you."

"No, no, don't say that about Charles, he has a big ass! Big butts are a rare breed now..."

"Stop, stop, let's talk about the draft. Who do you think the Cavaliers will pick with the No. [-] pick?"

In TNT's live broadcast room, the old guns headed by Charles Barkley quickly took the topic of the draft away from the topic of the draft, and the host finally turned the topic back.

"Embiid! If I were David Griffin, I would choose Embiid. Irving needs a helper. Last year, I chose Bennett. As you can see, Bennett is a rare parallel import in a thousand years. This year , The Cavaliers should still choose a center! A center is the most important thing for a team. Facts have proved that the center is the pillar if the guard is not effective." Charles Barkley rushed to maintain the honor of the center.

"Charles, you are very irresponsible joking about Griffin's future. Everyone knows that Embiid has an injury on his foot. Should he be selected to recuperate? If it were me, I would rather choose the Chinese boy Lu Deng."

Charles grinned and almost laughed: "You are the irresponsible bastard!"

As he said that, Charles pointed at the camera and said, "David, if you dare to choose Lu Deng, the windows of your house need to be replaced every day. The people of Cleveland will never allow you to bet on a skinny Chinese boy. Listen to me, Go and choose Embiid, even if you choose Randall, don’t choose Luden, don’t choose Luden, you must listen to me, otherwise you will call around looking for a job tomorrow..."

"Charles, why do you think Luden is bad? Owen needs a shooter to assist him."

"No, he needs a center forward!"

……

Lu Deng was sitting in the small green room in the Barley Center, completely unaware that the TNT TV station was arguing about him, and he was no longer so nervous.

What are you nervous about?Anyway, they are the top two. Even if you miss the Cavaliers, you can still see the beauty of the young princess, the boss of the Bucks.How much will her beauty factor be?There is nothing wrong with losing the mulberry elm and harvesting it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Deng has begun to use the second pick to comfort himself!

The tedious foreshadowing has passed, and the draft is officially entered.After a long time, the scene suddenly fell silent, followed by applause from all directions, and Xiao Hua walked to the rostrum stepping on the applause.

After the brief opening remarks, Xiao Hua finally opened the card in his hand in anticipation: "... Ladies and gentlemen, the Cleveland Cavaliers have made a decision, and they chose with the No. [-] pick..."

Xiao Hua deliberately paused, and then said loudly, "The genius boy from the East——Lu Deng! Congratulations to Lu Deng! Congratulations to the Cavaliers!"

A huge cheer erupted around Lu Deng's seat.

The follow-up lights were aimed at Lu Deng.Fat Wei jumped up first and hugged Lu Deng.Pelinka and Zhou Zhongjing stood up with fists clenched, their excitement uncontrollable.They high-fived and bumped shoulders with Lu Deng, cleared the way for Lu Deng, and sent him to the stage.

On the big screen, the shot of Landon shooting the ball was played, and he made every shot from outside the three-point line.Lu Deng's physical test data was played next to it, ranking first in the history of turning back and running, and first in the history of 3/4 sprints.Standing jump and run-up jump, both ranked first.

The audience on all the Chinese live broadcast platforms were celebrating crazily. Compared with the moment when Yao Ming was elected as the No. [-] pick in the NBA, they had more experience in celebrating.

However, the neighbors in the small green house applauded absently: "Does the knight really dare to bet on Luden?"

The Cavaliers fans at the scene were a little stunned, with mixed applause and sighs.Doubt even more than approval.

Yes, Lu Deng's exposure and popularity are worthy of their cheers, but the weakness of yellow people on the basketball court makes them afraid to celebrate boldly.

The same is true in bars everywhere in Cleveland. When fans can't tell right from wrong, questioning seems to be more "scientific" than cheering.

Maybe there is nothing wrong with choosing Luden, but it seems safer to choose Jabari Parker than Luden.

At the scene of the draft, Parker and his family were obviously disappointed. At the moment before Silver landed his name at the beginning of the year, Parker almost stood up to celebrate.

Too bad it wasn't him in the end.He clapped mechanically, and watched Lu Deng walk beside him and onto the stage.

In contrast, his family’s reaction was like a technical foul, "How is that possible?" "What's so great about Luden?" "Jabari is the best!" "The Cavaliers' management is blind eye?"

If Xiao Hua stood beside them, they would definitely point their noses and ask what happened.

Lu Deng walked up and carried it, Xiao Hua shook hands with him, and gave him a Cavaliers hat, and took a group photo with him.

Lu Deng's head was chaotic and completely insensitive.

After stepping down for a long time, I slowly accepted this exciting fact: I am now the champion! Cuba went straight to the No. [-] pick in the NBA.Cleveland is fine.

The draft continued, and the Bucks selected Jabari Parker with the second overall pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers selected Joel Embiid with the third pick;
The Orlando Magic selected Aaron Gordon with the fourth pick;

The Utah Jazz selected Dante Essam with the fifth pick;
The Boston Celtics selected Marcus Smart with the sixth pick;
The Los Angeles Lakers selected Julius Randle with the seventh pick;
The Sacramento Kings selected Nick Stauskas with the eighth pick;
The Charlotte Hornets selected Noah Vonleh with the ninth pick;

The Philadelphia 76ers selected Elfrid Payton with the [-]th overall pick;

The Denver Nuggets selected Doug McDermott with the No. 11 pick;
The Orlando Magic selected Dario Saric with the No. 12 pick;
The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Zach LaVine with the No. 13 pick;

The Phoenix Suns selected TJ Warren with the No. 14 overall pick.

……

For Lu Deng, the No. [-] pick is settled, and the current draft is over. It has nothing to do with him who the other teams choose. At this moment, what he needs to do is to adjust his mood and try to let his heart accept the good news as quickly as possible.

Everyone on Ludden's team was laughing, cheering, and clapping at him.

There were more and more congratulatory text messages received on the mobile phone, and Lu Deng had no time to reply to them one by one.

After the draft, the selected players took a group photo, greeted each other, shook hands with the staff to express their gratitude, and accepted simple interviews with reporters...

Until he left the Bale Center, Lu Deng's mind was still slow, and maybe the excitement would not be completely over until he slept.
