Chapter 116: The Lynx's Choice
The Charlotte Bobcats received the pick, and Hu Qingniu and others were stunned, but the Cavaliers fans and management began to cheer. People in Cleveland and Akron and the entire state of Ohio were overjoyed.
It means that the top pick will be signed to Cleveland, and it also means that the Cavaliers will have the "little emperor" they have always dreamed of.
Hu Qingniu nervously calculated in his heart that even if the Cavaliers management was brainless, they would not choose the wrong person for this signing. LeBron James, that is a once-in-a-century human specimen made by God, in every link, he is almost full marks. The ability to improve a team, especially a weak team, is unprecedented.
After winning the championship in 2016, it was neatly ranked second on the NBA all-time player seat list by authoritative American media, second only to Jordan. The feeling of passing by the opportunity after the thrill made Hu Qingniu very uncomfortable.
"Bangyan sign, cheek gang or An Lubu?" Hu Qingniu muttered in a low voice, he was afraid that Jordan would make some kind of moth.
The little melon is undoubtedly a more secure choice, and the current melon resume is not even worse than that of the little emperor.
Led Oak Hill High School to a 32-1 record and a 4-double-double in one game.
In the just-concluded 2002-2003 season, Anthony led Syracuse University to the first NCAA Championship in the history of the school.
Averaging 22.2 points, 10 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in his first season in college, he was the NCAA First-Year Player of the Year and the first first-year player to win the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Athlete award since Pevis Ellison of the University of Louisiana in 1986.
Anthony scored 33 points against the University of Texas this season, the highest single-game scoring record by a rookie in an NCAA competition.
Anthony and James are the No. 1 college players in the nation and the No. 1 high school student in the country, and they are both the same year. In other words, Anthony is also 2 years younger than Wade, and his physical talent is also at the level of a beast, the size of a small forward, but it is not difficult to top a big forward, and he can often eat the opponent's big forward on the inside.

And at this moment in Baltimore, in an elderly red-walled house in the Moulin Rouge neighborhood, Anthony's home is here. When he was 8 years old, his family moved from Brooklyn, New York.
As a teenager growing up in Baltimore, Anthony is undoubtedly a supporter of the Wizards, as well as a follower of Hu Qingniu's amazing coach. And Anthony is also very interested in playing on Jordan's team.
"The Bobcats should choose me."
The little melon with a furrow on the ground asked her grandmother with presbyopia on the other side of the sofa. His heart is also wavering, because there will be news that Hu Qingniu and Jordan have appeared in Cleveland and Chicago, but not in Baltimore.
The silver-haired grandmother has long been unable to watch TV, and today she is just here with her grandson, knitting a sweater, and the old man kindly comforts and encourages the little melon.
"Don't worry, you've always been the best, and your future achievements are up to you, no matter what team you have, you'll succeed."

On the other side of Chicago, Wade also saw the news of the Bobcats drawing the list at home. Compared to Anthony's confidence, he was not very sure. This is a sign he never expected, James and Anthony are both potential newcomers in the United States who have come all the way to the invincible posture.
Plus Dieko Milicic and Chris Kaman, two European prodigies and the recent rise to fame on the East Coast Chris Bosh.
Now calm down and think about it, will the Bobcats really draft him in this position. He didn't even dare to imagine entering the top five, let alone being on the list. He is now widely considered to be the second guard in this draft behind Kirk Hinrich, a traditional point guard produced by the University of Kansas.
---
Due to the change in timing, the draft draw and the draft meeting were not separated by a few days.
The Bobcats' roster of players has been stuffed into a briefcase and carried by Hu Qingniu, the result of a night of arguing between Jordan and Hu in an office.
Two stubborn guys settled all disagreements with the most brutal quarrels.
Or at Madison Square Garden in New York, the historic arena once again hosted the NBA's draft.
Countless global media poured into the venue, and the conference that pronounced fate slowly kicked off.
In addition to the nervous rookies, the most excited are the management of each team and all kinds of journalists, which is also a stage for them to show their talents.
Sometimes, because of a rookie selection, there will be a chain reaction of trades and a race against the clock for draft picks.
To clap or not to clap is equally exciting for the owner of every team.
There has been media exposure before, and the Cavaliers' choice has been determined to be LeBron James, this news has no breaking point, but it still earns enough eyeballs. LeBron James is the focus of attention in this draft, and as long as the news is on his sidelines, it can attract attention.
"Coach Doctor!"
A happy voice came, and Hu Qingniu was hugged by a big embrace without even seeing anyone.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! Hu Qingniu was almost out of breath, "Let go of me!" ”
When Hu Qingniu came to see, a huge fat man stood in front of him with a smile, who else could there be besides Barkley, the bastard.
Barkley went straight to TNT after the finals, and he still played the role of a commentator with Kenneth Miss, and Barkley, who had a championship, had a bigger mouth and was more popular.
Ross Barkley is here today as a live commentator for TNT, and the first-hand news of the draft is also a hot spot.
"Coach, can you reveal which lucky guy Charlotte will sign with the second pick." Barkley was struggling to dig up some breaking news.
Hu Qingniu said calmly.
"All I can say is big news."
......
Wade, Anthony and Bosh, all dressed in neat suits, were invited into the little green house, which represented the hot rookies. They nervously look forward to it, and it's like a real rite of passage.
David Stern finally took the stage with an envelope in his hand, which was the Cavaliers' top pick.
"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Cavaliers chose LeBron James!"
Dressed in a fat white suit, James jumped up excitedly, jumped onto the stage, donned a Cavaliers hat, and played for his hometown team, something he had always dreamed of.
Jordan said coldly beside Hu Qingniu: "I thought he had always been 30 years old, but I didn't expect to be so excited."
"Alright, Michael, it's our turn."
Hu Qingniu took an envelope and asked Jordan to stuff their choice into it himself.
The envelope was passed to David Stern through the staff, who also opened it curiously, and he did not know the result in advance.
This look almost knocked his eyes off, and he looked up at the position of the Bobcats in confusion.
The look in his eyes was like saying, "Real? ”
The media snapped the puzzled look in their eyes, and at the same time, the discussion began to be heard.
Taking a deep breath, Stern was still in the mood to keep his mind in mind.
"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Bobcats chose Dwyane Wade!"
The audience exclaimed!
