Chapter 4: Defeat and the Way Out

The highly anticipated 2011 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and despite the crisis of the league shutdown, teams are still enthusiastic about the draft, especially the Cavaliers, who are determined to rebuild. Although Chen Shu didn't think that he would be chosen, there would always be a trace of luck in his heart, after all, his strength was still obvious to all. So Chen Shu is still paying attention to this draft.

After the opening remarks of league CEO Stern, the Cavaliers with the No. 1 pick also had the No. 4 pick in the first round, and after five minutes of deliberation, they submitted their selection.

The Cavaliers still selected the most all-round player in this rookie, point guard Kyrie Irving from Duke University. As a pure point guard, Irving has the best skills, speed, and awareness, and has the style of "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, and has the potential to become the new savior of Cleveland.

The Timberwolves selected University of Arizona forward Derrick Williams with the second pick, and he had a breakout season last season that boosted his draft prospects.

With the third pick, the Jazz opted for the interior, and they picked out Turkish prodigy Ennis Kanter, who was suspended by the NCAA Commission last season for alleged admissions violations at the University of Kentucky and did not play a game.

At the beginning of the 4th pick, the upset appeared, and the Cavaliers chose the University of Texas forward Tristan Thompson, which most people did not expect, and Thompson also became the highest-ranked Canadian-born player in NBA draft history.

The Raptors, who were the fifth pick, selected Juunas Valans, a big man from Lithuania.

The 6th pick of the Wizards chose Jane Wesley, the "Little Yi Jianlian" from the Czech Republic, and Wisley kissed his girlfriend passionately on the spot, causing a lot of heckling from the fans.

The 7th pick in the Kwan's choice was made by the Republic of Congo's Bismack Bjorber, a deal given to the Bobcats, and it seems that this draft will be a collective explosion of international players.

And our protagonist, who is also an international player, is still huddled in his corner, trembling and waiting for the judgment of fate.

The 8th pick of the Pistons chose the University of Kentucky point guard Brandon Knight, Knight is also another excellent point guard trained by the famous coach Calipari, Rose, Evans, and Wall are his senior brothers.

The Bobcats, who were the ninth pick, selected last season's NCAA champion, Kemba Walker from the University of Connecticut.

The 10th pick of the Bucks selected NCAA star Jimmo Fredett from Brigham Young University, who won every individual accolade last season, including the Wooden Award, the Naismith Award, the All-American College Player, and the All-NBA All-NBA Team. However, the pick had already been traded to the Kings in a previous trade, so Fredt would play for the Kings.

The 11th pick of the Warriors chose Klay Thompson, and the new Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he was bullish on Thompson.

The 12th pick of the Jazz selected Colorado University point guard Alex Burks.

The Suns, who were the 13th pick, selected Markieff Morris, the older of the University of Kansas twins, and then the Rockets selected younger brother Marcus Morris with the 14th pick.

When the name of Isaiah Thomas, the last in line, was pronounced, Chen Shu, who had been lucky, relaxed. Although he was not drafted, he is now confident that he will make a name for himself in the NBA. The next step is to find ways to find opportunities to try out for various teams. Then use his strength to slap those scouts and managers who don't look good at him.

Secretly cheering himself up, Chen Shu picked up the phone and called the only person who could help him, his head coach Carl Williams.

Williams, who already knew the results of the draft, was a little surprised when he saw Chen Shu's call, but he instantly reflected it, thinking that Chen Shu was here to talk to him and ask him to comfort Chen Shu about his defeat.

"Chen, long time no see, looking for me something."

"Coach, I'm sorry to disturb, are you convenient for the past two days, I want you to do me a favor."

"Oh? I'm still in the gymnasium these days to deal with the finishing of the varsity season, you can come to my office in the gymnasium in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, coach, I'll go over in the afternoon, thank you!"
