NBA: I'm not a clean center

Chapter 67 The Dust Settles

There is no impenetrable wall in the NBA, and the Wizards' application for a trade with the Nets was quickly exposed by the media.

And an article in Sports Illustrated also gained widespread recognition.

Sports Illustrated: "It was revealed that the Wizards applied for a trade with the Nets, willing to pay any chip in exchange for the No. [-] pick."

"According to relevant sources, after Sean finished his trial training with the Wizards, the general manager of the Wizards immediately sent a trade application to the Nets."

"The Wizards claimed to be willing to pay any player and draft pick in order to get the No. [-] pick. The price is jaw-dropping."

"However, the Nets still chose to refuse. The attitudes of the two teams are not difficult to see. The results of Sean's trial training are definitely very outstanding. This is why the Wizards will get Sean at all costs."

"We will continue to follow up on this incident and strive to obtain Sean's physical examination report."

Just as everyone was speculating about this incident, the NBA Finals also entered a climactic moment.

June 6, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

With the Celtics' last three-pointer, the Lakers won the tiebreaker, won the 2009-2010 season NBA championship, and also achieved the defending title.

Kobe also achieved his two consecutive FMVP.

Sean also came to the scene, looking at the O'Brien Cup and Russell Cup in Kobe's hands, Sean's eyes were full of fire.

"Sooner or later, I will also win these two trophies!"

He secretly swears in his heart.

After the Lakers won the championship, the entire media network was full of information about Lakers Kobe, and the matter of Sean became uninterested.

But soon, the annual draft attracted everyone's attention.

.............................................

Feb. 6, Madison Square Garden.

"This is TNT TV. Welcome everyone to watch the 2010 draft. Hey, why don't you come to Smith, I have no interest in this draft."

Just halfway through the introduction, Barkley kicked the ball to Smith.

"Not interested? Sean, whom you admire the most, also participated in this draft. Have you moved on? Have you fallen in love with a donkey?"

Smith teased each other.

"Fuck off, all fools know that Sean must be the No. [-] pick. If the Nets general manager Vandeweghe doesn't choose Sean, then I don't think he can survive tonight, and the crazy Nets fans will tear him apart."

Barkley is sure that Sean will definitely become the No. [-] pick.

Just as the two were bickering, Sean brought Old Sean and Nadia to the little green house.

The draft will be broadcast live in 203 countries and regions around the world. TNT, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, NBC, CBS and other media have arrived at the scene, ready to report first-hand.

Big names gathered at the scene, including Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and many other superstars, as well as general managers and coaches of various teams.

But today's protagonist is destined to belong to Sean, and the camera also shines on him from time to time.

After Sean greeted Evan Turner and Gordon Hayward, two defeated opponents, he sat in the center position, which was the C seat prepared for him.

When the draft officially started, the silver-haired David Stern walked onto the stage with a smile.

Immediately, all the audience's focus was on him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the NBA 2010 Draft, this draft..."

Stern started some speeches before the draft, and after the speeches, the main event officially began.

"I announce that this year's draft has officially begun."

As soon as the words fell, the staff stepped forward and handed Stern a note.

Stern opened the note with a calm face, as if he knew the result well. He raised his head and announced with a smile:

"The New Jersey Nets selected the No. 2010 overall pick in the 1 draft, Wilt Shawn from Stanford University!"

The applause sounded, Sean calmly clapped hands with the old Sean, and then hugged Nadia beside him excitedly.

Old Xiao En looked at him with contempt, his eating was really ugly.

Finally, under the urging of the staff, Sean reluctantly let go of Nadia, took the baseball cap handed by the staff and went on stage.

"Young man, the future is yours!"

Stern looked at the burly guy in front of him, and he really liked it more and more, so he couldn't help but give a shout of encouragement.

"Thank you."

Sean returned the gift in a friendly manner, but he was thinking about another matter in his mind.

"Why is this sentence so familiar?"

.................................................. .........

After the draft, Sean became the target of all the reporters. Reporters from various newspaper offices were surrounded inside and outside, and all kinds of questions came one after another.

"Sean, the Lakers are willing to send Bynum in exchange for your deal, would you like to go to the Lakers to partner with Kobe?"

"After becoming the No. [-] pick, what plans do you have, will you participate in the summer league?"

"Joining the Nets, a team without any background, are you ready to not play in the playoffs all year round?"

"Do you think you can win the 2010-2011 Rookie of the Year in one fell swoop?"

Sean was so annoyed that he could only pick a few questions to answer:

"First of all, I am now a member of the Nets. I obey the team's arrangement. As for whether I will participate in the summer league, I have not yet determined."

"Secondly, the reporter just said that the Nets have no background. I can tell you clearly that I am here, and that is the biggest background of the Nets!"

"Finally, the 2010-2011 Rookie of the Year trophy has been engraved with the name, called Wiltshawn!"

Sean's wild words were naturally criticized by people from all walks of life, but he didn't care.

Since the moment he was selected by the Nets, he has become a thorn in the side of some people, whether he is arrogant or not, he will be attacked by others.

Rather than being scolded there as a wimp, it is better to release yourself.

.................................................. ...............

That night, in addition to the reports of the draft conference spreading across the United States, there was another article that attracted the attention of many people.

This is an article from the mainstream media USA Today.

The content of the headline reads, "Are you defiant after being elected as the No. [-] scholar? Speaking wild words?"

"When the Nets selected Sean, I wished him well and hoped that this big man will have a good development in the new season."

"However, the interview with reporters after the draft made me turn my fan into black in an instant!"

"The Nets have always been a team with no background. This is a fact, but you utter wild words as a champion, claiming that you have a background when you come to the Nets. What is the background? That is the championship. If you are selected, you will have the championship. Now, what do you think of the other 29 teams in the league?"

"LeBron James, the darling of the league, has struggled in the Cavaliers for seven years and has not won a championship. What do you think of him? Basketball is a team sport of five people, and it's not something you, a brat, can decide!"

The author of this article can be said to have sinister intentions. In a few words, he put Sean on the opposite side of the other 29 teams.

Sean naturally also saw this article, and he also judged the author from the other party's previous articles.

The other party is a Knicks fan, the mortal enemy of the Nets in the future!

"Is that Knicks? Humph!"
