Chapter 56: The King's Sincerity

New York, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New Orleans, Milwaukee...... In the past month, Anjie and Muslav have traveled almost half of the United States, participating in tryouts invited by various teams. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 During this period, the NBA draft lottery was officially held, and what kind of picks each team held was also determined.

Chicagoans can revel, because they got this year's No. 1 pick. The red Bulls have been in a relative slump since the departure of Jordan, the god of basketball, and now, they have been given a chance to change their fortunes.

Dwayne. Wade's Miami Heat got the top pick, and while not the No. 1 pick, they still have plenty of options. Michael. Beasley, Kevin. Lefou, O.J. Mayo, Russell Westbrook, and the big center from China, An Jie. These people have a chance to be picked up by the Heat.

Seeing the Miami Heat get the picks, Moslav and Pat. The number of calls between Riley and Riley skyrocketed. The Bulls will definitely pick Derrick with the No. 1 pick. Rose, but if the Heat are willing to use the roster to select Anjie, it would be a great thing.

Pat. Riley is also hesitating, second pick, is it worth betting on a Chinese with such a good pick?

Pat. Riley could stop and think, but Anjie's footsteps could not be stagnant in the slightest. After trying out a few teams, they all expressed their interest in Anjie. But they also have a relationship with Pat. Riley, like that, didn't say anything to death, didn't give guarantees. Whether to choose An Jie or not depends entirely on their decision on the day of the draft.

The Minnesota Timberwolves were given a pick, but they were not interested in Kevin Timberwolves. Love and O.J. Mayo seem to be more interested.

The Seattle SuperSonics received a fourth-overall pick. Although last year selected Kevin. Durant has made them gain a lot, but they still urgently need an excellent interior to speed up the rebuild, but the SuperSonics don't want to waste the talented outside players this year, so An Jie may not be able to be selected by Seattle, so An Jie has no guarantee in the top four picks.

Seeing that the day of the draft is getting closer and closer, Anjie and Moslav's itinerary is also coming to an end.

Today he is at the last stop of the draft, and the one where Moslav has the most hope, in Sacramento, California.

The Sacramento Kings, their happiest time in the 21st century, is also the brightest time in the 21st century for Divac.

In the 2001-2002 season, Coach Adelman led his ambitious fighters to take the NBA by storm with his unique Princeton system

Chris. Webb, "White Chocolate" Williams, Mike. Bibby, Vlad. Divac, Peja. Stankovic...... Whether it's the starting five or the bench bandits, on and off the court or in the locker room, the Sacramento Kings have shown their strength.

That year, the Kings rewrote the definition of all-offense and defense in the new century, and their 61-game regular-season wins left the Los Angeles Lakers behind, a height that the Kings have not been able to reach again.

In such a team that was extremely successful back then, the cunning Divac was an indispensable part of it. He used his own efforts to create the glory of the Kings, and the Kings also shined on Divac with their glory.

The Kings have confirmed that there will be a jersey retirement ceremony for Divac next season.

With Divac's relationship with the Kings, Anjie has a lot more opportunities here than elsewhere. After all, he was a student taught by Divac himself.

Just like the previous trial, the general manager of the Kings team was attracted by Anjie's excellent physical condition after seeing Anjie's physical test data. After that, Anjie also impressed the Kings with his excellent performance in various projects, and Divac really didn't look away, this young man is really a good center. But well...... The general manager of the Kings began to make small calculations in his mind.

"Anjie, you are simply amazing! You are his disciple, and we hope that you will come to Sacramento to carry on his mantle and help the Kings regain their glory. Listen to Anjie, I assure you that if you haven't been drafted in the top 12 picks, we will definitely use the 12th pick to select you! The general manager of the Kings has a firm look in his eyes, and this is the first time Anjie has been offered a guarantee by a team.

"Sacramento really didn't let me down!" Moslav secretly rejoiced in his heart, and now he didn't have to worry about Anjie falling out of the first round. The twelfth in line is not unacceptable.

"Mr. Moslav, you were also the manager of Divac back then, and we had several pleasant negotiations before. If we are really lucky enough to choose Anjie, I hope that Mr. Muslav will be able to finalize the contract with us as soon as possible. "The attitude of the Kings who can't wait for Anjie to join is doubly good.

"Don't worry, sir, it's always Anjie's dream to play for the Sacramento Kings, and I think that's what Dia wants to see." Moslav shook hands with the general manager of the Kings, and of course the passage about Anjie's dream of joining the Kings was improvised by him.

"My old club is so simple!?" Divac let out a cry of surprise from the phone.

"They are full of sincerity! Your old relationship is really reliable. Muslav didn't expect the Sacramento tryout to be so successful. Now that the training at the last tryout site has been completed, Muslav and Anjie will only have to wait for the day when the draft begins.

Two days later, a week before the draft, An Jie officially applied to the NBA league and signed up for this year's NBA draft on the last registration day. David. Stern quickly approved the registration, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, because the huge Chinese market had already tasted enough of the sweetness.

After Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue participated in the draft last year, another An Jie was born this year. Chinese fans can't wait to know the results of the draft, and the name An Jie has quickly become a household name, and now there are no fans who don't know who An Jie is.

"The second Chinese champion!? Top 10 reasons why the Bulls would choose Anjie! ”

"The Heat have reached an agreement with An Jie, and the first Chinese list is about to be born."

"The official response of the Bucks: I don't mind picking a Chinese player again."

The various speculations in the domestic media are simply varied, and each newspaper has a very different draft prediction for Anjie. This is a well-said piece of news, which is even more exciting than the hundreds of episodes of Korean dramas. If it weren't for the fact that the news of the upcoming BJ Olympics took up too much space, Anjie's attention might have reached a higher level.

Under the hype of the media, how can An Jie's parents escape the pursuit of reporters? However, after waiting for a long time in front of An Jie's house, they learned from neighbors that An Jie's parents had been away from home for several days.

The draft is undoubtedly one of the most important things in An Jie's life, and in China's traditional concept, parents have to rush to participate in this kind of thing no matter what.

Mr. Moslav paid for Anjie's parents to travel to and from the United States, and brought Anjie's parents with him. As soon as An Jie's mother got off the plane and saw her son, her eyes suddenly flushed. Eight months! She hadn't seen her son for eight months!

"What's the matter, Mom, I'm not doing well." An Jie's mother couldn't cry, and after becoming a professional player, An Jie had even fewer chances to go home.

"I shouldn't have sent you abroad to study in the first place, it's been so long, which mother can stand it."

"Hey, my son is also trying to carve out a world for himself outside. Look at you, An Jie is about to participate in the draft, you crying, how unlucky. "An Jie's father doesn't want his son, it's just that he expresses his longing in a different way.

Chinese still have a little superstitious thought in their bones, and when they heard about the bad luck, An Jie's mother quickly stopped her tears.

"Let's go, Mom, it's been very hard for you and Dad to fly all the way. Mr. Moslav has already arranged a lodging for you, so you can rest well tonight, and I will show you around tomorrow. ”

"Hello, ma'am. I am AnJie's manager, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. When Moslav saw that it was time for him to appear, he took the initiative to go up and shake hands with Anjie's mother. Moslav's words and deeds are really very gentlemanly.

"Xiaojie is really bothering you here, thank you for taking care of An Jie here." An Jie's father said this sentence directly in Chinese, and only after saying it did he realize that this was in the United States.

Although he couldn't understand it, Muslav still smiled and waited for Anjie to translate it to him. This is the quality of a professional manager. Professional, this is called professional.

Catherine looked at the different newspapers in her room, and her heart became a little nervous. You say, what if An Jie really didn't get selected in the top 15 picks?

"Phew!" Catherine shook her head vigorously, now is not the time to say such things, An Jie will definitely be able to succeed.

Anjie's busy trial has made Catherine not see the big boy for more than a month, how is he doing now? What are you doing? Just as Catherine was thinking about it, An Jie's call came.

"Hey, haven't you slept yet?" An Jie was the first to speak.

"Nope."

"Are you in the store tomorrow, I have time tomorrow, I'll go there, and by the way, take my parents to try your father's handiwork." An Jie laughed on the other end of the phone.

"In, in, in! How prepared are you? Is everything in the newspapers true? Catherine started to care about the draft.

"I've done everything I can and I don't know which team will be drafted next in the first pick. But don't forget your promise, I'm sure I won't fall below the fifteenth pick. An Jie smiled happily, remembering the assurances given to him by the Kings.

"I will not regret it! As long as you're within the fifteenth pick, I'll be your girlfriend. ”

A few days before the draft, An Jie finally got a little leisure time. This kind of life, full of happiness and ease, has been away from Anjie for too long, too long.

The company of family, the blessing of friends, and the due diligence of managers. All this has given Anjie a great sense of satisfaction.

Finally, the night before the draft, Anjie's family and Moslav took a plane to New York, and at this time tomorrow, the 2008 NBA Draft, which determines Anjie's future, is about to kick off!
