Chapter 3 Is This Really Crossing?
With the determination of the champion candidate, the entire draft conference and even the audience watching the draft in the United States were in an uproar.
"What the hell? Was the Trailblazer's brain kicked by a donkey? Why don't you choose Oden? ”
"After missing out on Jordan in '84, the Trail Blazers made another stupid decision in the draft — to give up Oden, a super center rarely seen in two decades, and choose a lanky forward who is not guaranteed to fit the rhythm of the NBA."
"I originally thought that last year, the Trail Blazers had a discerning eye for people and selected LaMarcus one after another. Aldridge and Brandon. Roy has gotten rid of the notoriety of the draft black hole, but he didn't expect them to make such a stupid decision this year. ”
"The Trail Blazers already have Roy in the backcourt, what do you want Durant to do? What they lack is an inside player! Not a shooter who shoots from the outside! ”
Portland fans couldn't help but curse their team as if the end of the world was coming, watching the SuperSonics pick Oden with the second pick.
"The Trailblazers management team is a bunch of stupid donkeys! They should quit right away and get out! ”
On the other hand, Seattle SuperSonics fans are already singing and dancing.
"Great! We have Oden! We have Oden! ”
"Thank you Trailblazers, we will always be with you!"
To be able to take down Oden, this is something they never dreamed of.
Originally, they thought that they could only get Durant at most.
Although Durant also performed well in college, his thin body was not favored by any scout, and everyone generally agreed that Durant's best draft template was the German tank Dirk. Nowitzki, too, is partly thought to be Maddie.
Although Nowitzki and Maddie are both excellent and top stars in the league, the gap is still obvious compared to O'Neill and Duncan's combination of O'Neill and Duncan!
Since Oden publicly announced his participation in the draft, the position of the top pick in the draft has lost its suspense, and no matter which of the 30 teams wins the top pick, it is impossible not to choose Oden!
But the Trail Blazers did just that, they gave up O'Neal + Duncan and chose Nowitzki!
You know, even Nowitzki was only the ninth pick in the '98 draft, and O'Neal and Duncan were two champions! Now, their successor has fallen from the throne!
"Click, click, click......"
The spotlight flickered wildly, almost blinding Durant, who walked off the stage.
The reporters' microphones were like long guns and short cannons, and they all squeezed in front of Durant.
"Kevin, how do you feel about being the champion?"
"Mr. Kevin, is there any secret to how you can beat Auden to become the champion? Did the Trailblazers already have secret contact with you? ”
"Are you confident that you can beat Oden in your rookie season and be named Rookie of the Year?"
“……”
Countless questions were like bombers bombing indiscriminately, and Durant's brain was blank and even a little overwhelmed.
"Gentlemen, get out of the way, get out of the way, let my players think quietly."
Durant's agent immediately rushed up and struggled to separate Durant from reporters.
"Hey, Kevin, what's going on? When did you come into contact with the Trailblazers? ”
Durant shook his head, "No, you know, the Trail Blazers just invited me during the rookie tryout, and their attention was entirely on Oden. ”
"Then it's strange, why would they suddenly choose you?" The agent frowned, a little worried. "SuperSonics has promised you an absolute core position and is even ready to trade mines. Allen and Lewis, while the Trail Blazers have Roy on the outside, he performed very well last season, and he is very young, if he joins the Trail Blazers, he may not get the position of the main core......
"What exactly did the Trailblazers think?"
When the outside world rioted because the Trail Blazers selected Durant, what was Wang Xiao, the initiator, doing?
……
"Boy, what do I ask, what do you answer, understand?"
"Yes, sir."
"Name?"
"Wang Xiao."
"Age?"
"30 years old."
"Occupation?"
"Basketball coach."
"Are you sure that everything you did in the draft was your own actions and not malicious acts directed by others?"
"Hey......" Wang Xiao sighed helplessly, "Big brother, I've told you countless times, Auden is garbage!" Durant deserves to be the top pick. ”
"Not big brother! Call me sir! ”
The chubby black cop said without a smile.
"I'll tell you, I'm a fan of Oden, and I'm angry that he didn't make the top spot."
"Yes, sir."
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes.
Not long ago, he walked out of the box of the draft meeting in style, but he didn't get far.
After learning that they could not choose again and that they had to be forced to accept Durant, an angry Kevin directly chose to call the police.
Before Wang Xiao woke up from his dream, he was taken into a police car by the police in his dream.
Nominally speaking, he did not do anything illegal, and the police could only investigate the situation, and after questioning, Wang Xiao was still released.
It's just that Wang Xiao felt a little bad at this time.
This dream is a little too long, isn't it? And why is it so real?
Secretly pinched his wrist, and the pain immediately came up.
Wang Xiao's face turned a little pale.
What's going on?
He began to struggle to remember what had happened before he came here.
Wang Xiao's job is a high school basketball coach, and it seems that he was teaching basketball lessons to students at that time, and he vaguely remembered that before coming here, a student missed his shot, and the basketball hit his face.
It can't be a basketball that smashes itself through, right?
Shaking his head, Wang Xiao felt that this was a bit too absurd!
Are you kidding? I have played basketball for nearly 20 years, and I may have been smashed by basketball more times than the students I taught.
But now the reality is in front of him, it's been so long, he hasn't woken up, he can still feel pain, it's still 07 years, isn't this a crossing?
The police symbolically interrogated him, but failed to ask anything from Wang Xiao, and finally had to release him.
Standing at the door of the police station, Wang Xiao didn't have time to think about what he should do next, when the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
It was the Trail Blazers staff who called, and they informed Wang that he had to return to Portland within three days to pack up what he had left in the office, and after three days they would dispose of all his personal belongings in the head coach's office.
