"Does that need to be traded for draft picks?" asked Fran as he turned to the back of the departing Popovich. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They have decided to choose Riandro Barbossa.

"No, I don't think anyone will take a fancy to him. That's Popovich's answer.

At this time, Chamberlain was not clear about his situation, and did not know that someone had made such a cruel conclusion about his future, and he still worked hard to show himself on the court, and continued to shuttle back and forth between the major training camps.

Fast forward to June 27, 2003, when the annual NBA Draft began.

In Madison Square Garden, New York, Chamberlain wandered anxiously at the entrance of the court, and his figure was pulled extraordinarily long under the bright and shining lights.

"Why hasn't Randy come yet, that bastard won't forget what day it is, right?"

Chamberlain kept looking at his phone until the time showed that it was five minutes before the draft was about to start, and he still didn't see the shadow of his agent, and Chamberlain reluctantly walked into the venue alone.

"He won't have any accidents, will he?" or ......?"

Chamberlain didn't dare to think about it, and the "demonized" lives of the black people at the bottom made him worry about his future agent.

For Chamberlain, he was a good man, and if it weren't for him, he wouldn't even have paid for the trial, in addition to living expenses, transportation costs, accommodation costs, and so on.

It was a high amount of money, and although he had been using work-study to help his family reduce the burden as much as possible, Chamberlain, who was still very nervous in his hands, still had serious doubts that the more than $3,000 in his hand would be enough for him to participate in a team's trial.

But when the old man named David Stern came to the stage, Chamberlain forgot all the thoughts in his heart, and only worries and expectations for his own fate remained!

"Will I be drafted? How many will I be drafted? Which team will I be drafted from?"

These questions swirled in Chamberlain's mind until David Stern babbled on and on for a few seconds, then suddenly shouted in a high-pitched voice that didn't match his age: "The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the first pick in the first round, have chosen ....... St. Vincent St. Mary's High School Player - LeBron James!"

Chamberlain sat in the audience, listening to the heart-rending screams of the people at this moment, watching the excited smile on the face of the "old" high school student, and looking at the look of disbelief on his mother's face.

Although Chamberlain already knew the final result, an unspeakable envy welled up in his heart.

Yes, very envious, even a little jealous, how he wished that it was himself who was walking towards the bright lights at this time, and he also hoped that he could let his parents get such a moment of glory.

"Although I can't have such glory now, I will definitely become a butterfly too!"

Chamberlain clenched his fists and shouted to himself in his heart.

The course of the next draft meeting did not surprise Chamberlain's memory. The Pistons, who have the No. 2 pick, still chose the talented inside of the Serbian black lineman Darko Milicic.

This should be the choice that caused the most saliva in the future of this draft, but at the time, it was undoubted.

Most Americans only learned about the ever-changing hair color of the kid almost half a year ago, and the Nelson couple snuck off to Greece last year to watch him play, only to be suspended for two games. In the scouts' notebooks, he is described almost perfectly: 2.16 meters tall, 111 kilograms, can shoot with both left and right hands, is extremely explosive on the inside, is good at point control (can almost play playmaking guard), and is very accurate on the outside three-point shot...... But in order to convince the owner and manager, they had to find a close star to compare to, and they wrote down the name "Garnett", or "Nowitzki".

At that time, it wasn't Milicic's template, it was his lower limit!

It wasn't until late May that the Pistons played Game 3 of the finals that general manager Dumas didn't see Milicic. He scheduled a 45-minute test, and as a result, he watched as he typed on his small computer, muttering, "I ×, I ×......" and the final comment was, "This guy is a genius, only 17 years old, 17 years old, damn it." ”

At that time, Pistons coach Carlisle was presiding over the team's preparation for the third Eastern Conference Finals, and he also looked at the sidelines twice, and he was dumbfounded. Hamilton came over and said, "He's definitely right for us, unfortunately he won't be able to play tonight." ”

But....... The world is unpredictable!

"The Denver Nuggets have chosen ....... Carmelo Anthony from Syracuse University!"

The draft continued, another player was drafted, and Chamberlain, who knew that he could not have his own name in the beginning of the session, slowly recovered a little indifferent after experiencing the initial excitement, but he soon became nervous again.

"The San Antonio Spurs chose the ...... with the No. 28 pick Riandro Barbosa from France!"

"The Dallas Mavericks chose the ...... with the No. 29 pick Josh Howard!"

The first round of the draft was over, Chamberlain swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty, he felt extremely nervous, the air seemed to be extremely hot, and thick sweat came out of his forehead.

"The second round is about to start, will it be me? Will I .....?"

Chamberlain felt his heart beating violently, and he waited anxiously, waiting..... Finally......

"The New York Knicks chose the ...... with the first pick in the second round Marche Lampey!"

"The Cleveland Cavaliers chose the second pick in the second round....... Jason Capo!"

"The Minnesota Timberwolves pick 55 is ...... Rick Ricott!"

"Why haven't you had me, why haven't teams chosen me yet?"

The uneasiness in Chamberlain's heart gradually increased, as if a pair of big hands were holding his heart.

"Did Randy lie to me? He said that there would be a team to choose me, and I lied to me?"

"The Boston Celtics picked the No. 56 pick ...... Brandon Hunt!"

"The Dallas Mavericks' pick of 57 is ...... Xue Yuyang!"

"The Detroit Pistons picked the No. 58 pick...... Andres Grania Dakos!"
