Time was ticking down, and when the Los Angeles Clippers, who were the No. 12 pick, drafted Miles Bridges from Michigan State University, the lottery draft was coming to an end, leaving only two spots left.

At this time, Li Yang and several people sitting in the small green house were sitting on pins and needles, and there were only 14 seats in the lotto show, and more than 14 people were invited to enter the small green house. Therefore, those who are not chosen are destined to be embarrassed!

This time, the five-minute wait was very long, especially for the players who were still in the small green room.

Li Yang could only look at the rostrum at this time, hoping for a miracle. There were only two seats left in the lotto show, and the opportunities were getting fewer and fewer, and he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Finally, after nearly a century of waiting, NBA commissioner Adam Shaw has once again stepped out of the backstage amid everyone's expectations.

"The 13th pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers chose ......"

It's still the same smell, it's still the smile that marks the line, and the maddening signature pause.

Li Yang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, his hands firmly grasped the armrests of the seat, and his eyes stared straight at Xiao Hua on the stage, expecting Xiao Hua to read his name.

"Li Yang, a point guard from Shenzhen's No. 2 High School in China."

"......"

In an instant, all the teachers and students in the gymnasium of Shenzhen No. 2 Middle School went crazy.

Li Yang's good friend Wu Qian was the first to jump up from his seat, waving his fists excitedly, looking at the sky and roaring, and in the next second, the entire gymnasium was boiling, all cheering excitedly, as a high school in China, they turned out to be an NBA player, and they made history.

"Yay! Yes! Yes! ”

In An Ran's home, An Ran jumped up with a kick, couldn't help screaming excitedly, and then cried with joy.

An Ran shed tears of happiness, hugged his best friend Li Yan, and cheered: "Li Yang, he was selected by the clippers, he was selected by the clippers." Haha, Li Yang is going to play in the NBA, I'm so happy! ”

At the same time, when Adam Xiao Hua said this, countless Chinese fans who were guarding in front of the computer went crazy instantly.

Li Yang was completely unaware of all this that was happening in China. When happiness came, he felt himself hit by a pie with a "bang", his mind went blank, and everything around him seemed to disappear.

Duffy saw that Li Yang was still sitting in a daze, and quickly patted him hard.

"Is it me, is it really me? I was finally drafted, again with the 13th pick!! ”

Li Yang excitedly grabbed the shoulders of agent Bill Duffy, and then shook it vigorously,

"Don't shake it, it's you who you're you! If you shake it any more, this old bone of mine will fall apart! Bill Duffy intermittently persuaded the other party to calm down.

Li Yang came back to his senses and looked up to see that all the cameras were pointed at him, and everyone around him was looking at him, and not far away, the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers were screaming excitedly.

The 13th pick, being selected in this pick, made Li Yang very surprised, this is a magical pick.

The 13th pick is definitely a magical pick. It stands to reason that this pick should not be higher than the top 10 picks, but the 13th pick has not only given birth to historical superstars such as Malone and Kobe, but also produced a lot of talent in recent years, such as LaVine, Booker and Mitchell are all from the 13th pick in the first round.

Clippers, this will be the most correct choice you have made, Li Yang clenched his fists hard, and muttered categorically.

"Fake!!"

"Omaiga!"

"He's going to Los Angeles." When Sexton and Alexander, who were talking, heard the news, they were immediately confused, but the two of them were going to Cleveland and Charlotte, two remote places.

What is Los Angeles? Can Charlotte and Cleveland compare!!

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and the superiority of the two of them who were chosen before Li Yang was instantly smashed, and the high rank was immediately unfragrant.

The parents took the initiative to get up and gave Li Yang a hug. It was only at this point that he completely relieved himself, he was really drafted, and now he is a member of the NBA, and Duffy's operation is successful.

And it seems to be much better than expected!

Duffy also gave Li Yang a hug, and when he hugged him, Duffy still said lightly: "I said don't worry, everything is under my control." ”

"Yang, go up!"

"Hmm!"

Li Yang patted him on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the rostrum.

At this time, a staff member had already come to his side and handed him a baseball cap with the Los Angeles Clippers logo.

The size of the hat is a little big, probably because he didn't expect the Clippers to choose Li Yang, Li Yang could only adjust the buttons on the back of the hat as he walked and walked towards the rostrum.

After feeling the cheers of the audience, he smiled and waved to the audience on both sides.

In any case, the temperament must be taken seriously!!

Of course, as he walked forward, he could feel the envious gaze from the players who had not yet been selected, but were still sitting in the little green house, after all, his selection meant that there was only one last spot left in the lotto show.

At this time, the most embarrassing player sitting in the small green room is none other than Michael Porter. His ranking has slipped all the way from the initial top spot, and he is about to fall out of the lottery.

Li Yang walked onto the rostrum and shook hands with Xiao Hua. The first time he observed the president of NAB so closely, Li Yang found that he and Stern belonged to two completely different personalities.

Stern comes across as a stubborn old man who likes to preach, has a short temper, and is authoritarian.

Adam Shaw gives the impression of being suave and kind-hearted, and is a person who can see the whole picture in a conversation and laughter.

"Congratulations, young man, how are you feeling now?" Xiao Hua asked as he stretched out his hand.

"It's a great feeling," Li said, "first of all, I'm finally able to achieve my dream of playing in the NBA, and secondly, I'm joining a team that is a great fit for me, so it's going to be even better." ”

"I'm really excited, I'm a player with a lot of desire to win, I like the feeling of winning, the Clippers have a very good mix of personnel right now, I think the two of you and Alexander can integrate into the team very quickly and hopefully we can try to get into the playoffs, I'm a person who is made to win, thank you." Li Yang said with a smile.

"Very good, I'm looking forward to your performance." Xiao Hua saw his nervousness and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Li Yang nodded, and the hands of the two people clasped tightly together again, and then Li Yang nodded, and the moment he turned around, he unbuttoned the suit, revealing the national flag inside.

The two of them faced the flashing lights off one after another in the audience, and this moment will be remembered forever!

"Click!!"

Facing the cameras, Li Yang showed his trademark smile. As a handsome guy, Li Yang is very photogenic.

Then Li Yang walked off the stage and came to the media visit area next to him to be interviewed by reporters.

Unlike the fans, the Los Angeles reporters were obviously particularly surprised that Li Yang was selected by the Clippers with the 13th pick, which greatly exceeded their expectations, and they felt that they had just been pressed to the ground by Li Yang and rubbed and slapped in the face.

"Young, do you think it would be a mistake for the Clippers to draft you with the No. 13 pick?" The Los Angeles Times reporter asked very sharp questions with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Of course not, it would be the city's luck." Li Yang said without hesitation.

……

Li Yang was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers, Spurs general manager Kobe Altman was completely dumbfounded, the most crazy thing for him was that he was about to reach a negotiation, and in the end he was cut off by the inexplicable Clippers, which made him so angry that he doubted his life!

Soon after the interview, he was picked up by Clippers staff, including Clippers general manager Dave Wall and owner Steve Ballmer.

Although it was a surprise that he was selected with the 13th pick, he still had some doubts about the Clippers making such a choice, and the Clippers were more interested in Jerome Robinson during the tryout, and he was just plain polite.

But doubts are doubts, the future general manager and boss in front of him greeted him, and he knew what to do when he thought about it, he was naturally an actor, and he went up to shake hands and hug excitedly.

After the process was over, he suddenly remembered the shock in his head at the end of the previous draft, and now it feels very clear.

It was clear that it wasn't his brain convulsions or a concussion, the only possibility was the system.

He clicked on the interface of the god-level skill exchange system, and he found that a red exclamation mark appeared on the side of the taskbar panel. It seems that the brain shock in front of me is probably because of this exclamation mark.

He clicked on the exclamation mark, and just then, a very familiar mission sign appeared in front of his eyes.

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host on officially stepping into the NBA, and now the mission is being distributed! ”

Stage task: Win the best rookie in the 2018~2019 season. ”

Current Mission: "Rookie Takeoff".

Requirements: Win your first win in the Summer League and score 30+ points in a single game.

"Stage task reward: 1 chance to draw S-level skills in the specified category (you can specify the category).

Current mission reward: 1 lucky draw card.

"Well, it turned out that I had to log in to the NBA to officially open the system store, which made me almost suspect that I had opened a fake system."

Three days later, the Clippers will hold a press conference for Lai Yang and Shay Gilgeos Alexander. That's right, you read that right, the other player is Alexander, who was shadowed by Li Yang, who was traded from the Hornets by the Clippers.

Alexander was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 11th pick in this year's draft, but was traded for the Clippers' 12th pick and a future second-round pick.

When Alexander learned that he had been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, he was very excited. At this time, Sexton, a good friend next to him, suddenly patted him sympathetically: "Brother, it seems that Li Yang is also on the Clippers!!! ”

"Ori Shard!!"

"How so!" Alexander put his head in his hands and muttered words, still unable to believe the cruel truth.

"No, I can still save it, and I'll go and hug my thighs in a while! I think he'll definitely agree!! With that, Alexander smiled triumphantly.
