Chapter 112: Lottery, That's It (3000)
Lu Fei took off his mask and threw the basketball into the basket.
Well
Didn't go in.
Liu Zhuang immediately shouted to his teammates who were training: "Look, who is back!" ”
On the other side of the court, Huang Nan, Luo Dahai, Gao Yunfei, Zhang Bai, Liu Haiyun...... They all looked over and saw Lu Fei standing beside Liu Zhuang at a glance.
Everyone rushed over.
"Damn, you still know to come and see us, stinky boy?"
"I thought you were hooked up with an American!"
"The ball played well, and it didn't embarrass our mine."
"We watched TV, is Auntie better?"
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth grinned happily, after returning to China for more than a month, this was the first time he had returned to a familiar place in addition to taking care of his mother, who was gradually recovering.
He still clearly remembers that after the NCAA Finals, he heard the news of his mother's surgery, and his whole mind suddenly buzzed and panicked.
The brain tumor, which was still in a pitted position, was not sure to operate on the head, and dragged it until he suddenly fell down the stairs on the way to work the day after the Lu Fei semifinals.
She was sent to the hospital, and after examination, it was found that the brain tumor had endangered her life, and she would die without surgery, and the success rate of surgery was not high.
Fortunately, the operation was successful.
Lu Fei sat on the plane back to China, his mind kept recalling the impression of this mother in his mind, and the image of the big grin kept emerging in the limited memory.
When he heard the news of her operation, Lu Fei clearly felt that his heart was poked.
He remembered his former self, one year in San Antonio, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, tears in his eyes, because the dream was full of his own mother, who had died.
On that day, he looked at the calendar and realized that it was his birthday.
Lu Fei clearly remembered that he wrote such a paragraph in his diary late at night-
"I've been dreaming of you lately, and until today, I understand that it's not a daily thought.
I don't know how many mountains and rivers you have to climb and cross when you come to see me in your dreams, but if it's very far and hard, don't come.
I know this day is especially important for you, don't worry, I'm all right.
Come back, I'm fine.
Go back, I'll remember what you told me in my dreams,
and
What you look like in your dreams. ”
Lu Fei returned to the ward of Pengcheng Second Hospital, looked at the pale and haggard mother, and breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no need to write such harsh words in this life.
He made soup every morning and fed her personally, and every sunny morning he would push her out for a walk, and at noon he would urge her to take a nap, and if she couldn't stay up, he would tell a story about Zhen Huan, and when the sun set in the evening, he would take her to walk on the tree-lined path and listen to the birds chirping.
Companionship is the most silent guardian.
Until one day, Lu Fei's mother held Lu Fei's hand and said softly: "Go back, I want to see you play basketball." ”
Lu Fei grinned.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the corner of the "Sports Weekly" peeking out under the pillow next to the bed.
This issue of Lu Fei casually flipped through a few days ago, mainly to analyze some of Lu Fei's prospects in the NBA and the situation he is facing now.
Lu Fei thought about it, and it was time to go back.
He came to Pengcheng Mining University, where his basketball began, and in this familiar arena, there were former teammates.
"Do you want to take one with me for training?" He asked suddenly.
Huang Nan glanced at the corner of his mouth, "Yo, the United States is coming back to teach us a lesson, we can't let this guy underestimate us." ”
"That's it, who's afraid of whom, I was still injured when you were there, if it weren't for me, you might not be able to play, so it's better to be a substitute for me honestly." Luo Dahai blows cowhide.
The two sides set up their formations, and Lu Fei added to the substitute lineup led by Liu Zhuang and Gao Yunfei.
Lu Fei hit the ground and passed, and Liu Zhuangshun picked up the basket.
When Huang Nan jumped, Lu Fei didn't shoot the basketball in the opponent's hand.
Lu Fei turned around with a high-throw assist, but unfortunately Gao Yunfei's bounce was a little worse and he didn't buckle it.
"Gao Yunfei, do you still want to catch a dunk in the air when you bounce?"
Liu Zhuang gave a thumbs up.
Lu Fei suddenly remembered that on the day of the first game, Liu Zhuang said, "I'm afraid that I ......will be deducted during the game."
This product also laughed at Gao Yunfei.
……
May 22,
On this day, the NBA lottery was held in New Jersey.
Both the American media and the Chinese media are hyping up this draw at this time, of course, everyone is most concerned about who James and Lu Fei will end up with.
James doesn't need to say much, his talent is there, visible to the naked eye.
And Lu Fei everyone knows more from the NCAA finals, and many people have watched that game, because the day of the NCAA finals is the only basketball game in the United States, whether it is the NBA in the United States or the CBA in China, all make way for the NCAA finals.
And the wonderful duel between Lu Fei and Carmelo Anthony also made fans addicted.
However, more NBA teams actually pay more attention to the Chinese market behind Lu Fei, and the increase in market value of the Rockets' selection of Yao Ming in the past year has already made other teams in the league blush.
But Lu Fei did not participate in any team's tryouts.
There is no shortage of teams like the Washington Paparazzi who are worried about whether Lu Fei's physical fitness can meet the NBA standards, and whether it will be gone.
And Lu Fei has not tried out, which makes the worries of these teams even more serious.
In addition, Lu Fei has no agent, which means that even if Lu Fei is selected by some teams, as long as Lu Fei is not happy, he can return to the university at any time.
This makes it even more intimidating for teams that want to pick him.
But these are the pictures that everyone sees, who knows if there is any team that is actually as inevitable as the supersonics, but it is just hidden a little deeper.
Now it's just a lottery.
LeBron James didn't make it to the scene, and he threw a private party with family, friends, high school teammates, and some media reporters in a hotel suite in Akron.
Anyway, ESPN has a live broadcast, and it's the same everywhere you watch it.
Before ESPN's live broadcast, NBA officials conducted a lottery rehearsal, and the Nuggets won the top pick.
Nuggets owner Stan Soroenke's expression immediately turned desperate, he knew that the result of the dress rehearsal was not a good sign, and Nuggets general manager Van Dewicz was also present and felt bad.
"I think the win of the rehearsal is the kiss of death, because you can't win twice in a row." Vanderwich said.
The Heat sent Caron Butler, and he was honored.
"I'm going to witness history soon, and that's the only reason I'm going to the draw." Butler said in an interview.
The draw is about to begin.
NBA Vice President Russ Granick announced the lottery positions of each team one after another, and when he heard that the Clippers were the sixth pick, SuperSonics general manager Rick Sander knew that the top five were stable.
When he heard that the Heat had picked up the fifth pick, Butler let out a deep sigh.
"My heart was saying, 'Oh my God, I'm not going to be traded.'" It's true. Butler said.
The Raptors got their wish and got the fourth pick.
The top three teams are the Cavaliers, Nuggets and Grizzlies.
The results of the top three draws will be announced soon.
Rick Sander, the general manager of the SuperSonics who had just picked up the 14th pick in the first round for Seattle, was getting nervous and wondering if the SuperSonics would be able to get that pick.
If the Grizzlies get the No. 1 pick, the pick will go to the Grizzlies.
At this time, the Pistons' general manager Dumas and coach Carlisle were watching live TV at the airport in Detroit, because they would be flying to New Jersey to play the Nets' away game in a moment.
Although this draft pick has been traded, Dumas can't help but feel a pain in the flesh when he sees that it is the top three picks at this time.
Although they didn't know who to choose, it still hurt.
And the palms of Supersonic General Manager Rick Sander are all sweat.
"The Cavaliers, Nuggets, Grizzlies, and other three teams are nervous about whether they can get the top pick, and we are anxious about whether we can get the second or third pick, and I just don't want to be the top pick, which is probably the only time in NBA history that we don't want to pick the top pick, it's really crazy." Sander's face to media interviews makes no secret of his thoughts.
The third-round pick was drawn when NBA Vice President Rathgranik announced that the Nuggets had won the No. 3 pick in the first round. The Nuggets lottery representative Soroenke sighed, he knew that the Nuggets missed the opportunity to get the top pick, but at the same time he also knew that if the Grizzlies got the top pick between the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies, the biggest loss would not be the Cavaliers, but the Supersonics.
When Granick announced that the Grizzlies had been given the No. 2 pick, Grizzlies basketball president Jerry West was extremely frustrated.
At this time, Rick Sand, the general manager of the SuperSonics, was very excited, and he was the last person who wanted to get the top pick, although it seemed a little "funny".
Joy and sorrow, the lottery is instantaneous.
It's called "the NBA is essentially a business".
Of course, it was the Cavaliers who were the happiest, and they were the winners, winning the first prize.
When Granick announced that Cleveland had won the No. 1 pick, Cavaliers owner Gordon Gander, who was involved in the lottery, smiled and said, "We don't know who we're going to pick yet." ”
Is this Nima still talking about human words?
In Akron, James's room, all the suppressed emotions erupted at once.
When he heard that the Cavaliers had been awarded the No. 1 pick, James leaned against the wall and all his friends rushed towards him, which was a relief for LeBron.
The result of the draw determines the outcome of the draft, as he knows where he is going.
He said he was going to shine a light on Cleveland.
At the same time, in China, Liu Zhuang, Huang Nan, and almost all the teammates of Luo Dahai went out to drag Lu Fei from Duanzhuang's home to the school, and opened the live broadcast website that Liu Zhuang found over the wall to watch the lottery ceremony.
Because he got up too early, Lu Fei sat on Liu Zhuang's bed and fell asleep.
Until Liu Zhuang roared: "Supersonic bull break!" He was awakened by this voice, rubbed his eyes, and stretched.
"Supersonic No. 2 sign? Okay, that's it. ”
