"I am announcing that the seventeenth player selected in the 2013 draft is Dennis Schröder from the Braunschweig Lions of Germany."

Schroder was picked by the Eagles.

However, he is not a player in the small green room, and after being read his name, he does not have many opportunities to show his face.

The on-site commentator commented that this is a future star from Europe, I heard that he couldn't even shoot a basket more than a year ago, but in a short period of time from both offensive and defensive ends have undergone a qualitative change.

Deng Hongfei, who was sitting at the far end, looked envious, and the players sitting next to him were probably the same.

Everyone longs for their name to be heard.

However, the eighteenth, nineteenth, and even the top 30 picks in the first round ended.

Deng Hongfei did not look forward to the moment he was looking forward to.

"Hey, Deng, I've been looking for you for a long time."

At this time, Schroeder suddenly appeared in front of Deng Hongfei and sat down.

"You're alone?" The latter blinked.

"Otherwise, how many more people do you need?" Schroeder grinned.

"I want to congratulate you, Dennis, for being picked by the Hawks, and you're an official NBA player from the start of the new season." Deng Hongfei congratulated from the bottom of his heart.

Schroeder raised his hand with a big grin, "You're almost there, your strength is obvious to all, and you'll be here in a while." ”

"I hope so." Deng Hongfei slowly closed his eyes, "Dennis, do you know?" Today, it happens to be the unveiling day of China's college entrance examination, and all students will reap the final results of their ten-year cold window on this day. ”

"So everybody's nervous, and so am I."

"Brother, I'm just like you." Schroder immediately patted his chest, "We are all nervous, but you have to believe in yourself, prepare for the worst, take 10,000 steps back, even if these teams are collectively blind, it does not mean that you have lost the opportunity to play in the NBA, so many examples of undrafted and famous." ”

"There are also so many examples of high priorities who end up doing nothing, so relax and don't think too much."

Schroeder patted him on the shoulder.

Deng Hongfei took a deep breath, still apprehensive.

Minutes and seconds passed.

NBA Vice President Adam Shaw appeared on the podium, which meant that the second round of selection began.

This will be the last time Shaw will serve in the second round of the draft as vice president, and in February next year, he will officially take David Stern's place at the helm of the NBA.

Xiao Hua, who was in his prime, smiled and read out the first player to be selected in the second round - Aaron Crabbe.

One by one, unfamiliar names gradually appeared in front of the public.

For the rookies in the second round, a considerable number of them may only have a glimpse of the fate of the NBA, and after being selected, they will not necessarily go to the NBA to play, they are only passers-by in the NBA.

But there are still many people who don't even have the fate of being passers-by, so they can only sit in the stands and act as spectators.

Sit from the beginning to the end.

Deng Hongfei felt more and more uncomfortable, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Schroeder's comfort beside him didn't help at all.

In the second round, the eighteenth and 48th overall pick, the yellow and blue Los Angeles Lakers logo appeared behind Adam Shaw.

Deng Hongfei opened his eyes slightly, and he was a little energetic.

The Lakers and Grizzlies were the only two teams that invited him to a tryout.

However, at the 41st overall pick, the Grizzlies picked Jamal Franklin.

For Deng Hongfei, this is his last hope in his heart.

Adam Shaw cleared his voice with the answer in his hand, "In the 2013 NBA Draft, the 48th player selected was ......"

"Ryan Kelly!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, Deng Hongfei's brain suddenly buzzed, and his eyes suddenly lost all their brilliance.

"Why, why?!"

His heart kept roaring wildly.

He had no time to pay attention to the next process, and there were no surprises in the development of reality.

All the way to the last signing......

I still haven't heard my name.

He was defeated!

For a while, all the fans in China who followed the matter turned off the live broadcast of the draft in disappointment.

Some angrily scolded the Internet, while others closed the window in frustration and stared at the screen for a long time.

"Damn, I wasted my time in the morning!"

"I already knew that it was another player who was blown up by the media, and I knew that Lao Tzu wouldn't watch it!"

——

Deng Hongfei's home in Seattle.

Deng Zhilong, Chen Linna, and Shen Yan's faces were also dull.

Faced with a harsh and cold reality, they simply don't know what to say.

Deng Zhilong's throat moved, and he stood up a little dejectedly, "I'll pour a glass of water." ”

His steps towards the table were heavy and slow......

"Impossible!"

Shu Xin closed the computer with a flushed cheek, and held it tightly, "Why did you lose the selection, are there many forward players in American universities who can score 52 points against Duke and sprint into 3 seconds in 3/4 games?!" ”

She couldn't figure it out.

The same is true for school leaders such as Song Jianzhang.

But no matter how you think about it, all this really happened, and Deng Hongfei was indeed defeated.

Countless people were disappointed, and the most disappointed person disappeared from everyone's view the moment the draft ended.

No one knew where he went, his phone was turned off, and there was no information on social platforms.

It's like evaporating from the world in an instant, and there is no news.

The top floor of the Freedom Tower in New York, 541 meters above the ground.

Deng Hongfei's lonely figure stood by the railing, looking down at the small metropolis below through the glass window, without any waves in his heart, and he could not set off any more waves.

The fear of heights is shrouded in a dead mood at this time, and it is impossible to come out and make waves.

Suppressed by death.

Perhaps at such a time, it is better to know that fear is better than to be numb......

It has been said that opening your mind and touching the sky closer may be able to ask God for answers in the most difficult of times.

Deng Hongfei closed his eyes, didn't think about anything, couldn't think about anything anymore, his brain was blank, he didn't know what to do, what else could he do.

He's done his best! I've done my best!

In the joint tryout, in the training camp of the Lakers and Grizzlies, he put on a good performance.

But why? Why?!

The fingers gripping the railing grew harder and harder, and the suffocation gradually turned into majestic anger.

"Ahh

He couldn't help but roar out hysterically!

The unreserved shouting was quickly drawn into the security personnel of the Freedom Tower.

Fearing that the Asian man, who seemed to be a little mentally unsane, would do something terrifying, several big men rushed up, controlled him, and called the police station......
