Chapter 110: The draft is underway
No matter how much Kyle was relieved or how comforting Allens was, the draft continued, and the applause was still warm.
In the background, there was a slightly chubby black man named Beckstaff, with a gentle face and a kind face. Don't look like the uncle next door, but he is the most authoritative person on the Charlotte Bobcats, the first person in NBA history to combine head coach and team manager at the same time. He hasn't made a decision yet, and he's torn over whether to choose Kyle or Felton.
The two are basically the same type of player, they belong to the short and fat dun, the combination of speed and strength, breaking through the sharp shooting and relying on Meng, but they have their own merits. Kyle has better stats, better decisiveness, explosiveness, and equally obvious shortcomings, and his last two games are frightening, with a history of serious injuries. Another point, that is, Kyle has leadership qualities and temperament, which is a good thing, but the Bobcats don't need it, they just entered the league last year, and they have confirmed that Okafor is the big man as the core, and last year's rookie season was eye-catching, averaging 15.1 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. Although the two are in different positions, if Kyle, who has a tough personality, becomes the owner, will it cause conflicts? Beckstaff personally watched Kyle's game, and from some details, he keenly noticed that Kyle was a bit of a nobody, ignoring the coach, fighting alone, and initiating a sideways without team spirit. That's the senses Kyle gives him, but Kyle's talent also makes him salivate.
Felton's stats are a lot lower than Kyle's, but he is correspondingly much more stable, can contribute to every game, can cooperate with teammates, and will not steal the limelight, as Okafor's assistant, this is a safe choice. But he's not as talented as Kyle, that's obvious.
Beckstaff has followed up with all four point guards from the start and knows them well. According to his original idea, his target was Paul, who had fallen into blood mold this year. Because of the ban, Wake Forest's record is not satisfactory, but Paul last season and this season have shown superstar potential, and is very selfless, calm and not wavering, but also very humble, these are Beckstaff's personal in-depth research conclusions, he is very optimistic about Paul, secretly happy, thinking that this time can pick up the leak, but I didn't expect the Hornets to have the same idea as him, and cut off the beard in the fourth pick.
The staff gave him a few shouts, and Beckstaff finally came to his senses. Paul, who was jubilant outside, had already finished speaking, and it was time to make a choice, one thought of heaven and the other of hell, which is an exaggeration. The Option Show was like that, and the folly of the '84 Trail Blazers was remembered, and that's a good example.
Taking a light breath, Beckstaff seemed to have made up his mind, handing the intact paper envelope to the staff, while he tore up another pinched envelope and threw it in the trash. Stars of hope, shattered stars, fluttered in Beckstaff's hands.
When Kyle went to the teams for tryouts, the Hornets had an ambiguous attitude and the most sincerity. Kyle also thinks that he should be the fourth overall pick to be selected, and he has all the speeches in mind, and the truth is that everything is an illusion. The current situation is nothing unacceptable to Kyle, and so can the Bobcats, a newcomer.
"The fifth pick of the Charlotte Bobcats was Felton from the University of North Carolina." Reality gave Kyle another blow, and as Stern announced the answer, Felton's height and weight measurements were played on the screen, as well as the stats.
"These blind people, they will regret it." Super Mario's voice was very loud, and the rest of the people in the small green house area couldn't help but look sideways, feeling depressed, contemptuous and sneering, and there should be more schadenfreude.
"Nothing! It's more of an incentive for me. Kyle said that, but his heart was full of waves. He couldn't figure out where he was worse than Filton. Is it just a record? Or is your strength not enough to be faced?
"Yes! Kyle! Rest assured, Golden State and Los Angeles are also lacking in point guards, and it's not that bad. Allens offered reassurance.
"I know!"
"Baby! I'm sure Portland shouldn't miss you. Super Mario also noticed that the scene was strange and continued to persuade her.
But Mary's prediction didn't come true, and David Planted went on to announce that Portland's sixth-pick pick was Martre Webster.
The atmosphere was a little weird, and everyone was focused on Kyle. Kyle is indifferent, he wants to see which team he will be drafted and whether he will fall out of the top 10. Mary and Allens were uncomfortable and didn't dare to say anything, mainly because they didn't know what to say!
The Yale trio on the periphery also whispered.
"I can't believe Kyle hasn't been chosen yet." Kelly has a kinship, Kyle is so far behind, so what about his short insider? The thought of losing the election lingered.
"They must be crazy! Kyle's treasure, they can't even see it? It's ridiculous. Larry is indignant, screaming at Kyle's contempt.
"They're going to cry when the season starts, including the Milwaukees." Not to mention Smith, in his mind, Kyle is the top pick in this draft.
"It makes me angry that we St. Joseph have been treated with contempt." Larry tugged at the topic again.
"Larry! You're going to be respected, and Iā" Kelly looked bad.
"Look! Maybe it's not all that bad. Smith didn't know how to comfort his brothers who were fighting together, and his own situation was not good. He thought that with the title of the top 16 of the tournament and good data, he should have a good order. But now he feels that he is unlikely to be selected, the competition is too fierce! Do you have any regrets? Of course not, this year is the best time to do it, and if you study for another year, without Kyle, I'm afraid St. Joseph will be crowned by everyone next season.
ā¦ā¦
"The Toronto Raptors chose the seventh pick," Foot continued his work. Kyle Lowry from St. Joseph's University. ā
Mary and Allens suddenly stood up and high-fived each other, which was called an excitement. Kyle also got up and hugged them one by one, but he was complaining infinitely in his heart, after all, he still couldn't escape, the reincarnation of fate! He still wants to come to the kingdom that belongs to him in the future life, fight and fight, and make achievements. It was a place of freezing and snowfall in April, and Kyle was thinking about it. Now! In the weather in June, he actually felt a little cool, was it the comfort of finally being chosen? Or is the Canadians calling him?
Grinning, going on stage, shaking hands, enjoying the lights, putting on his hat, and then Kyle walked over to the microphone, and the audience applauded and listened quietly.
"Thank you to all of us at St. Joseph's Yale, thank you to the Toronto Raptors, thank you to my great mother, thank you!"
Kyle bows, what the hell? Finished? What about rhetoric? What about swearing? What about poignant stories? What about the history of hard work? That's it! The audience is indescribably tired, but they remember Kyle's "wanton behavior" today.
Kyle was also ready to make a big splash and brag, but the Raptors drafted him and made him lose his mentality.
(Solemnly thank you for accompanying you 1888 reward!) I really feel true love, although I write scum. )
