NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 64 Draft

What Xue Liancheng didn't know was that James' words of praise for him were quickly moved to Riley's office.

"Xue Liancheng..."

Pat Riley.

Nicknamed the White-haired Devil, he is a legendary figure and a cold-blooded and ruthless bitch.

At this time, he filtered the name through his brain. It was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hoosier's point guard, led the team to the top 32 of the tournament, but was eliminated when they met Connecticut," the assistant added hastily.

"Hoosier? You mean the Asian guy who killed UCLA?"

Riley finally remembered.

When Xue Liancheng defeated UCLA, it attracted a lot of attention.

However, because Xue Liancheng's rise was too short, only a little over two months, and he was not a local high school student, the impression he made on people was not very profound.

"Yes! That's him."

“What pick is he predicting right now?”

"The 44th pick in the second round."

"Do you have the physical test report?"

"Yes, take a look." The assistant immediately took out the tablet and called up Xue Liancheng's physical measurement data.

Riley looked at it for a while and murmured, "The physical talent is average. He's a little fat. His body fat is definitely over the limit. I wonder how he trains. Would LeBron appreciate him?"

"That's what LeBron said himself during the interview."

Riley pondered for a moment, "Well... let's get his game video and I'll take a look first."

Although it is only a second-round pick, each NBA team only has two picks per year. This is the team's only opportunity to add new blood without paying too much, so every pick is important.

Especially for a championship contending team, rookies are particularly important additions.

Even as the team president, he will choose carefully.

of course.

For some bad teams, the end picks are less important.

Because they have accumulated a lot of first-round picks over the years.

A second-round pick is really dispensable on the team.

"Okay!" the assistant responded, turned around and was about to go out.

Riley suddenly thought of something and stopped the person again, "By the way, he is Chinese?"

"Yes." the assistant replied.

"Chinese……"

Riley whispered once, then nodded, "I know."

……

……

The next period of time.

Xue Liancheng ran around and had several trial training sessions, but the results were not satisfactory.

Even if he is allowed to serve as point guard, the guys in the game just won't move or cooperate. What can he do?

I can only go it alone with the explosive pack.

Ok……

Finally, he became what he once hated.

Although he could score some points, he didn't show his super vision and strong ability to read the game at all. This was not the effect he wanted.

But it's the best he can do so far.

soon.

It's June.

At the end of the finals, the San Antonio Spurs easily crushed the Miami Heat with a score of 4:1, completing their revenge and winning the championship.

The dream of the Heat Dynasty was shattered. I, King James, was the 9-point king, and Bo Yiban became the target of public criticism.

They were at their peak, but they were crushed by the old GPD and the boy Leonard. The loss was ugly and they had no power to fight back.

The four losses were all by huge margins. In the final G5, James even ended the game five minutes early.

The only game we won was by only 2 points.

It's a true gentleman's sweep...

People are discussing, can this super group continue?

This turmoil lasted until the end of June, when it finally subsided.

Because June 26th is the annual draft.

Brooklyn, New York.

Barclays Center.

Xue Liancheng sat in the venue, looking a little dazed.

It seems to have returned to the time when the final exam results of the junior high school era were announced.

That heart!

It’s really almost time to mention it.

but.

There was someone who was more nervous and uneasy than him.

That's right!

It was his old father Xue Changlin.

Years of growth records, the flags that have been set, the hard work, the expectations, the sweat day and night, and the vision that is entrusted with all kinds of emotions, if your child cannot be selected.

Then.

It is equivalent to defining everything he has done in the past ten years as failure.

Failure on your own is actually not terrible.

The terrible thing is that my children's future is in quagmire.

It was in this mood that Adam Joke took the stage to deliver a speech.

After talking a lot, Balabala began to announce that the draft had officially begun.

The first pick, no accident, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Andrew Wiggins.

With the second pick, no surprise, the Milwaukee Bucks chose Jabari Parker.

With the third pick, there was no surprise either. The number picker chose the big softie Joel Embiid.

For the fourth pick, an accident happened. The Orlando Magic chose Xue Liancheng's good partner Noah Von Lai.

Good guy.

Feng Lai, who was in the small green room in the front row, jumped up when he heard his name, and his family followed him and cheered, extremely happy.

Obviously.

Feng Lai was also surprised that he was actually selected with the fourth overall pick.

Seeing this, Xue Liancheng secretly mourned for the Magic.

If they give up Aaron Gordon and choose Feng Lai, a fool, the Magic will have their legs smashed in the future.

However, Feng Lai is not without merit. His talent lies here. At least after getting along with him for the past few months, his confrontation has improved significantly, and his ability to protect the frame has also improved by leaps and bounds.

This kid has evolved a bit and shouldn't be as useless as he was in his previous life.

of course.

The premise is to continue sweating and training hard.

but.

Without his supervision, can Feng Lai really stay in the basketball gym?

This raises a big question mark.

Ok……

Anyway, hope you get well!

Before Feng Lai took the stage, he glanced back and quickly locked onto Xue Liancheng, grinning his big mouth and waving his hand.

Xue Liancheng also stretched out his hand in response.

This kid, you still have some conscience.

Now that we have access to water, we still have to remember him as the well digger.

In fact, before his rise, Feng Lai's performance was not bad, averaging 11.2 points and 9 rebounds per game.

But after his rise, Feng Lei's performance reached a higher level, with his data increasing to 14.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.

Coupled with the success of the Indiana Mountaineers in the top 32 of the championship, Feng Lai's market will naturally rise.

The Magic selected Vonleh with the fourth overall pick, which actually makes sense.

just.

It’s a shame for Xue Liancheng, the well digger.

As the true core of the team, there was no trace of the first-round prediction. Instead, Feng Lai, who was too fat to eat his cake and eat it, was selected with the fourth overall pick.

One can imagine the mood of the well digger.

What a talent!

It is really an insurmountable chasm.

Prejudice is more like a mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't change it.

no way!

That can only be seen on the playing field.
