"Hello, Mr. Meng Xiaohao, what pick do you think you can be selected!"

Meng Xiaohao was stopped in the streets of the UCLA campus again, Meng Xiaohao didn't know how many times it was, and the interview hasn't stopped since he officially announced that he was going to participate in this year's draft......

"Uh......" Meng Xiaohao hesitated, "I don't think there is any difference in the number of picks!" Meng Xiaohao smiled, "It's gold that always shines!" ”

Just after Meng Xiaohao announced that he would participate in this year's draft, many people announced that they would participate in the draft, and many of them came from other continents.

Of course, there are also people Meng Xiaohao knows, Hill. Lucas and Genkoru......

McDonald's All-Stars are the starting point guard and starting center in the southern half of the team, among which Lucas also had a fight with Meng Xiaohao, and there was a lot of rumors in the team at that time.

Meng Xiaohao rarely pays attention to the matches of European and African university teams, and even the continental leagues of other continents.

Unlike the United States, the European University League is held at the end of September, two months earlier than the American University League, because in the two months after the University League, Europe will host the European Championship, which is an intercontinental competition, unlike the Europa League, which is held every four years and the European Championship is held once a year.

But many European basketball superstars don't participate in the European Championships, or rarely participate in the European Championships, because the European Championships and the European club leagues collide, and the gold content is not high, so not many people want to participate.

But in this European Championship, Lucas was selected for the French national team as the starting point guard, and he led the French team to a big win in the European Championships, but in the end he was still defeated by Spain.

Although he didn't win the championship, Lucas won the Best Newcomer award, which can be said to be glorious.

Genkoru is a member of the Congo Under-19 team, leading the Congo to the championship in the African Under-19 league and winning the title of the best defensive player, as well as the same two years ago he also led the Congo Under-17 to the African Under-17 League title, and he was also the best defensive player on that occasion.

Now all major media are scrambling to report on the deeds and news of Lucas and Genkoru, and for a while Lucas and Genkoru became the top favorites, and the news that Lucas's performance in the McDonald's All-Star surpassed Brooke was also reported, and it seems that Lucas is the strongest point guard of the same age.

And Meng Xiaohao's situation is not very good, since Meng Xiaohao announced his participation in the draft, there has been a steady stream of doubts from the outside world, the most is that he was injured twice, although the last time he was poked in the eye, it cannot be regarded as insufficient physical strength, but the media still grabbed his sluggish state to say things.

Meng Xiaohao has been predicted by experts to be in the top five in the draft at the beginning of the competition, and now he is expected to be outside the top 10 in the draft, and even at the end of the first round, this gap is inevitably a bit big.

Meng Xiaohao was very helpless in the face of these remarks, he wanted to scold directly, it was definitely impossible, he was going to scold, he would definitely be drowned in saliva, it would not be good for his career, he would not scold, he was still angry when he looked at these remarks, and simply uninstalled the software to watch the news, not to watch those news, out of sight is clean, and the training is at ease.

Since the experts are not optimistic about Meng Xiaohao, Dahl. Rich rarely contacted him, although a reporter had reported that Dahl. Rich began to contact Meng Xiaohao and wanted to become Meng Xiaohao's agent, but Dahl. Richie personally intervened to deny it.

For this kind of thing, Meng Xiaohao can only smile, this style of falling into the well is really ridiculous!

But Edward is different, although Edward has little contact with Meng Xiaohao, he always speaks for Meng Xiaohao on social platforms, which makes the media speculate, and when the reporter interviewed Meng Xiaohao, Meng Xiaohao neither objected nor affirmed, and Meng Xiaohao's answer couldn't help but make people reverie.

……

Night, Los Angeles Stars, Boss's Office......

An old man with gray hair stood by the bed, looking out the window at the night scene......

The owners of the Los Angeles Stars are the Wayne family, the 1963 Boozer family. Wayne founded this team, and until now, this team has been owned by the Wayne family, and now their owner is Cizeri. Wayne.

And the gray-haired old man, officially Niszari. Wayne.

At this time, a knock on the door was heard outside the office......

"Come in!" Nishizeri turned around and said lightly.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked in, and this person was the head coach of the Los Angeles Stars. Cole.

"How?" Nishizeri asked.

Paul shook his head, "It's hard, if we really want to enforce it, we may have to trade out at least one team starter, which could nullify our team's original chemistry." ”

Cizeri glanced at Paul, "You mean, it's hard, isn't it?" ”

Paul nodded.

"Then how sure are you that you can change to a higher draft pick, or rather, how sure are you that you can choose Meng Xiaohao!" Nishizeri asked.

Paul hesitated, "It's a bit of a struggle to change to a higher pick, our current pick is the seventeenth pick, and the pick after changing the thirteenth is a steady loss, and I want to change the top thirteen, or the top ten, unless Tom. Cruise as a bargaining chip, but in that case, it would be a big loss. ”

Cizeri nodded, knowing that Paul was right.

"Then what do you think, in what order can Meng Xiaohao be chosen?"

Paul thought for a moment, "If I think so, there's a good chance he's ahead of the ten." ”

"So sure?"

"Although the media and experts are not optimistic about Meng Xiaohao now, Meng Xiaohao's achievements in the college league are obvious to all, although he is injured, but it is the UCLA he led to defeat the University of Oregon, so even if Meng Xiaohao is now so unfavored by the media, he is still what many teams want, a player with strong offense, strong conduction, and first-class defense, who doesn't want it?"

Xi Zeli nodded, "It seems that if you want to get Meng Xiaohao, it can only be said that it is a fantasy!" ”

"Why do you want to get Meng Xiaohao so much?" Paul asks his own questions.

Seeing that Nishizeri smiled slightly, turned his head, looked out the window, and smiled slightly, "Fate!" The fate of that time at the airport! Fate, wonderful! ”

That's right, Cizeri is the old man he met when Meng Xiaohao flew back to Los Angeles from China last time, since the two of them separated, Cizeri has paid special attention to Meng Xiaohao, he began to understand Meng Xiaohao, he found the commercial value of Meng Xiaohao, and also saw Meng Xiaohao's strength, he wanted Meng Xiaohao to become a member of his team.

But the Los Angeles Stars have a very good record this season, and although they didn't win the championship, they also reached the Western Conference Finals, and their 17th pick was still traded last season, otherwise they would have been further down the list.

……

The next day.

Meng Xiaohao walked out of the training hall, and the day of the draft is getting closer and closer......

"Xiaohao!" At this time, Reed appeared in front of Meng Xiaohao, "Your draft procedures have been completed!" ”

"Yes!" Meng Xiaohao was very happy when he heard it, "That means that I can participate in the draft after a while, right?" ”

Reed shook his head, "Not yet?" ”

Meng Xiaohao was a little puzzled, "Why not?" ”

I saw Reed take out a piece of paper from his briefcase, "You still have to take a physical test!" It is more professional and rigorous than the previous university physical test! ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled, "I actually forgot about this matter!" Rivers told me about it before! When is that physical test? ”

"Next Monday!"

Meng Xiaohao snapped his fingers and calculated, "That means, three days later?" ”

Reid nodded, "Let's clean up these two days, in New York, you have to fly from the westernmost to the easternmost part of the United States!" ”

Meng Xiaohao smiled, "Got it!" ”

At this time, an inexplicable excitement arose spontaneously from the bottom of Meng Xiaohao's heart......

"After the physical test, does it prove that I am one step closer to the professional league?"
