In the history of the NBA draft, there has never been a member of the "Little Green House" who will not be selected, George sat there and waited for five hours, not waiting for the NBA commissioner to read his name, and George's family made a special trip from Seattle to New York, 3,000 miles away, but could not witness the moment George was selected for the NBA.

George was so distraught at the moment that he felt that he had become the laughing stock of everyone, and he just wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

But in fact, even being ridiculed by everyone is a luxury for this yellow player.

By this time in the draft, the audience had already been cleared, and few people would stay to pay attention to the rookies at the bottom of the rankings, and no one would make a special trip to ridicule George, because no one knew him at all, they only knew John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins.

Even ESPN has all but ignored this phenomenon.

The ESPN host, who was in charge of the live broadcast of the draft, remembered George as if he remembered that the dishes at home were not brushed, and casually asked Jeff Van Gundy, the special commentator next to him: "It seems that there is a member of the 'Little Green House' who has been selected, do you know him?" ”

"I don't know much about him, but I've heard that he plays with a lot of ideas, but it's a little flashy, and he's very ordinary, and I think people think he can't adapt to the intensity of the NBA," Jeff Van Gundy said. ”

The conversation about George lasted less than fifteen seconds, and then, like an early morning drive over a fallen leaf on the ground, it quickly disappeared into the rearview mirror.

George got up and left, his parents were very worried that this poor child would suffer a blow in his heart, Byron wanted to grab him as soon as possible and say something to him, but the phone in his pocket rang, he didn't want to answer, but when he saw the caller ID, he immediately pressed the answer button.

When George and the three were about to walk out of this sad place, Byron hurried over from behind and said to George: "Joe, just now the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, personally called and invited you to participate in this year's summer league, you still have a chance!" ”

Summer League is a tournament reserved for NBA rookies and free agents, and every summer, when the team's biggest stars go on vacation, the rookies or free agents have to prove themselves in order to make a break on the team's roster.

George wanted to be angry, he wanted to say, he'd proven himself so many times in the past year, but now, he still has to go to the summer league again, and they don't trust him so much?

"Dad, I want to be alone and quiet, and I won't go back with you." George replied seemingly calmly.

"Where are you going? I'm going to be with you. Erin quickly grabbed George's hand.

Byron separated the two and said to George, "Well, Joe, remember, even if you lose everything today, tomorrow will still be in your hands." ”

George was separated from his family, and now he just wanted to be alone, so he rented a car and drove from New York to Pennsylvania, in fact, he didn't know how fast he was driving until it rained heavily.

"It sucks! Everything sucks! The rain sucks, too! There was no other place for George to see the rain in Seattle, and George was in a frustrated mood, and it was two o'clock in the morning and he had been driving for four hours straight.

"It must be racism, they just look down on the yellow race!"

George didn't complain after losing the draft, he complained about the real thing, in high school, he had already led the team to win the state championship, he was also the player of the year, but when he was in college, the schools in the Division I and Division II simply ignored him, and if he was black, he might have been able to get a scholarship to the first league.

That's the reality.

George stopped the car on an empty highway and got out of the car, the heavy rain kept falling on George's body, and he wanted to cry very much, because crying at this time, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on his face.

"What if I get into the NBA? A player with mere talent can only do passing and shooting, and I'll never be able to dunk like Vince Carter, break through the defense as hard as LeBron James, and I'll never dominate the NBA. ”

George became more and more sad, and after a blow, he always became suspicious of himself.

But even at this time, George still thought, "If I had the same physical talent as those guys, I would have done better than them!" I'll be better than Kobe, LeBron, or even Michael Jordan! ”

As he said this, a sudden burst of muffled thunder rang out in the dark and gloomy sky, which seemed to George's ears to be against what George had just said.

George looked at the sky and asked loudly, "What, you think I'm talking big?" Do you think I can't do it? ”

Thunder returned, accompanied by a sharp bolt of lightning!

George was not afraid of the sky, and pointed to the sky with a sneer: "30 NBA teams (actually 27)!" 60 places in two rounds! Hundreds of managers and bosses! None of them were able to pick me, do you think you can hit me?! ”

PIA！

Lightning slashed at George!

“FU1K！” George yelled, hurriedly opened the car door and hid in the car.

"It's so unreasonable!" George is angry and hateful, he feels that God is unfair, not to give him the same good body as other NBA players, not to let him succeed in the draft, and to hack him to death!

Although he was not struck by lightning, George was much more sober at this time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped his face and hair with a towel, picked up his mobile phone, and found that his father had sent him a text message.

"Michael Jordan, the first person in NBA history, was determined to be the best player in his grade when he was a sophomore in high school, and his level was much higher than others, but when Lenny High School announced the first-team roster, there was no name for him. Many years ago, reporters traveled thousands of miles to Wilmington to find out why Jordan was defeated. I'm sure in a few years, there will be reporters asking every NBA team's general manager why they missed you out in this draft. ”

After reading the text message, George felt both deeply comforted and ashamed in his heart, over the years, Byron has been teaching him so tirelessly, George can have today's results, thanks to the cultivation of his parents, but George's biological father and mother are Chinese, he and Byron, Taylor they have no blood relationship, George always feels ashamed, very want to play in the professional league early to make money to repay them, so after he finished his freshman year, he signed up for the draft.

"I should cheer up, those who look down on me will not feel a trace of guilt for my sadness, I will only make the people who care about me sad."

George rented a car with a manual transmission, he drove the wiper gear to the maximum, stepped on the clutch to hang on the first gear, and was just about to restart, but at the moment of looking up, his body trembled violently under the fright, and the car also turned off instantly!

"What the hell is this!"

George suddenly found that there was a line of words in front of him, which read, "The current number of live online people, 0 people." ”

George thought he was hallucinating and tried to clear himself up, but amazingly, even when he closed his eyes, he could still see the lines!

"Hell, I'm hallucinating with excessive grief, and if the managers of the team who look down on me know that something like this happened to me, they're going to laugh at me, and I'm going to have to find a place to sleep."

So, George drove to the nearest Days Inn motel, by this time, the rain had eased a little, and just as George had just walked to the front desk with his wallet and documents, George noticed a slight change in the transparent font in front of him, which did not obscure his view at all.

It used to show that the number of people online was 0, but now it has become 1!

"Pedal pedal pedal blah." Just when George was curious, the only waitress at the front desk knocked on the table: "Accommodation?" ”

The size and voice of the waitress can only be described in words, I believe that it can scare off many men who have bad thoughts, and at this time, George found that the number of people online in front of him has changed from 1 to 0 again.

George didn't know what was going on, and he didn't want others to see anything, so he nodded calmly and said, "Give me a room on the first floor." ”

"Don't take cash, take out your credit card." The waitress said skillfully, took out a piece of paper and handed it to George, "Sign it here, and fill in your license plate number." ”

The hotel does not allow smoking, nor does it allow pets, George signed, filled in the license plate number, the waitress gave a map of the room and a free parking voucher, this thing should be placed in front of the car glass, if you don't put it, it may be towed away, parking in American cities has always been very expensive, not all hotels provide free parking, motel parking is free, and the car can be driven directly to the door of the room, it will be more convenient to take luggage.

George didn't have much luggage, he found his room according to the map, and fell asleep without even taking a shower, he hoped that when he woke up tomorrow, all his worries would disappear, including the inexplicable "current number of live online people" in front of him.
