Chapter 523: My name is Rudy. Goebel

The meeting with Gobert not only made Yiyang, but also Carlisle, the coach, and Cuban, the boss who made the final decision, very satisfied.

This guy loves competition, doesn't give up easily, and is determined. Of course, his shortcomings are just as obvious, such as his lack of shooting ability, his underweight and lack of any experience playing in the United States. There are countless examples of European talents entering the NBA and losing their lives, and who knows if Gobert will be the next depressed European man?

Because of this, choosing Gobert is actually very risky. Regardless of the second thought of it, isn't it the same to choose a 27th pick in the final first round?

In the days leading up to the draft, the Mavericks were still following up on Gobert's tryout. The very bad news is that Gobert showed great quality during the trial in Atlanta, and the Hawks showed enough interest in Gobert.

The Atlanta Hawks have two first-round picks this season, 17 and 18, two picks, ten in the order above the No. 27 in Cuban's hands! For now, Gobert will most likely be cut off by the Hawks!

If the Bucks do draft Antetokounmpo this year, and Gobert is picked by the Hawks first, then Cuban's $3 million will be completely wasted.

Therefore, in the days before the start of the draft, Cuban and Yiyang and others were very nervous. Yiyang didn't expect that he, who had already experienced the draft conference, would still be unable to sleep because of the fate of others.

On June 26, Yiyang and his entourage took a private jet from Kuban from Dallas to Brooklyn, New York on the East Coast.

As soon as he got off the plane, Cuban checked the latest prediction draft news. Unfortunately, the Bucks seem to be infinitely close to Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, the Jazz, who hold the 14th pick, also publicly praised Gobert's performance.

Cuban broke out in a cold sweat, he'd never been so nervous about a mere 27th pick.

"Let's go Mark, don't read the damn news. Draft predictions, there is no reliable one. Nelson Jr. saw Cuban's predicament clearly, and he patted his boss on the shoulder and motioned for Cuban to take it easy.

"If I had a lotto in my hand, I wouldn't have that trouble at all." Cuban put down his phone and complained.

"If we get the lotto, will we still be able to play in the Western Conference Finals this year?" Nelson Jr. asked rhetorically.

"Hmm...... That's right. "Kuban has a partial head, a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both.

Yiyang, Cuban, Carlisle and Nelson Jr. stayed in a long-booked hotel and went to bed early to prepare for tomorrow's doomed and difficult draft.

Although tomorrow, they will be the ones who will decide the fate of a player. But the other 26 draft picks before the 27th pick decided the Mavericks' fate.

While Cuban's goal this summer is to go all out after Howard and Al. Jefferson, but it's a good idea to be able to pick Antetokounmpo or Gobert.

At the same time, Cuban believes that many bosses have been unable to sleep at night. Especially those teams with lottery picks, their decisions can even affect the future of the team. Luckily, the Mavericks' future doesn't have to be gambled on draft picks, as their future has been guarded by Yiyang.

In this way, the 2013 draft, known as the year of the draft, was staged at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn under the nervousness of the Mavericks.

In the small green room of the draft conference, Yiyang saw Gobert's figure. Being invited to the Little Green House also shows how sought-after Gobert is right now.

Before the draft began, the Nuggets officially announced that a cash deal with the Mavericks was officially reached, and the league approved the deal.

This time, Kuban can be regarded as passing the first hurdle. The Nuggets didn't back down on their verbal agreement, and the 27th pick is now literally in the hands of the Mavericks.

After that, all they could do was wait. Once the results of the 26 picks are announced, let's see what God has left for the Mavericks.

The draft began quickly, and the stands were filled with fans of NBA teams. Tickets for the draft are very cheap, usually $30-$50 to buy a ticket. After entering the stadium, the fans can enjoy the atmosphere of the official game.

That's why the entire Barclays Center is seated. And the atmosphere of the scene was also ignited by a large number of fans. Yiyang and his party sat in the luxury box, and under the window of the box, Gobert stared expectantly at David who was speaking on the stage. Stern. That white-haired old man, in which order will he pronounce my name?

After Stern's stinky, long speech, the draft finally began.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have chosen Bennett as the top pick of this year, and they are looking forward to Bennett and Irving leading the team back to the top.

The Magic drafted Oladipo from Indiana University with the second pick, and Yiyang still doesn't know if the little guard will be his opponent in the future.

With the third pick, the Wizards drafted Otto. Porter. With Wall, the Wizards are still a lottery team. And Tanhua Yiyang, who was in the same class as Wall that year, has already won the MVP.

After the first three picks were finalized, Cuban became more and more nervous. With the fifth pick, the Suns drafted Ukrainian center Alex. Ryan, that means the Suns gave up on Gobert and the Mavericks passed the first hurdle!

With the 14th pick in the first round, the Jazz selected Shabazz, a swingman from UCLA. Mohammed, Gobert is safe for the time being!

When it came to the Bucks with the 15th pick, Cuban took a big breath. The guy's heart was pounding, and during the time the Bucks were making the decision, Cuban probably said "God forbid" more times than in the previous week combined.

However, when Stern opened the Bucks' envelope, something unfortunate happened.

"Janis. Antetokounmpo! ”

The moment Stern pronounced the name, Cuban let out a lost growl in the box. The Greek monster still didn't fall to the end of the first round in the end. Damn Milwaukee Bucks, you're a terrible creature for choosing the Greeks!

But the tension isn't over yet, because the Eagles, who have two picks in 17 and 18, are very close to Gobert......

When the Celtics announced that they had selected Brazilian center Lucas with the 16th pick. After Noquera, Gobert's heart was already agitated.

"You've done a great job! If you haven't been picked in the middle of the first round, we're definitely going to pick you! "That's what the Eagles general manager said to Gobert three days ago. And the next 17 and 18 are the Eagles' choice rounds, which means that Gobert is going to the stage!

Gobert's long arms are undoubtedly his most advantageous weapon, but there are too many examples of this lanky interior line failing in the NBA! His slightly thin body may become a passer-by on the NBA stage due to his lack of confrontation. What's more, we already have Al. Horford and Zaza. Pachuria, why do you have to put up another big man who hasn't proven himself yet!? And at this point, in the Eagles' luxury private room, things are nowhere near as easy as Gobert had imagined.

The Hawks were divided over whether to pick Gobert or not, with the owner seeing Gobert's potential but the general manager believing the Hawks were already crowded at the center position.

Just as Goebel imagined that he was about to take the stage, Stern walked out with an envelope.

"Don't ...... Don't ......" Kuban was still praying, and Yiyang was also a little nervous.

On the sidelines, ESPN's commentators also predicted that the 17th pick would belong to Rudy. Goebel.

However, when Stern read out the name in the envelope, everyone in the room, including Gobert himself, was dumbfounded!

"With the seventeenth pick, the Atlanta Hawks selected, Dennis Brown. Schroeder, from Germany! ”

"What!?" Gobert and his family's eyes widened, while Cuban and Yiyang high-fived in the luxurious box!

"Don't worry, the Eagles have an 18th pick!" Carlisle immediately calmed down, maybe, the Eagles want to choose Schroder first, and then Gobert!?

"Don't worry, Rudy, it's probably you next!" At the scene, Goebel's family also comforted him in the same way.

The eighteenth pick, still the Hawks, Gobert was a little unhappy, but he still barely smiled.

"The eighteenth pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks chose ......" At this time, Gobert was already standing up, ready to take the hat handed by the staff, but ......

"Chose Sean. Larkin from the University of Miami! ”

In front of Gobert's eyes, a flattered Larkin stood up excitedly and hugged his family. He took the Eagles' baseball cap and proudly walked onto the stage to pose for a photo with Stern.

What about Gobert? He was like a big silly man, dumbfounded, and laughed happily as he watched Larkin take his place, while he didn't move.

The Eagles promised themselves, but in the end they chose someone else. This made Goebel feel disrespectful and extremely humiliated!

"What the...... Dry! I love God! And in the Mavericks' box, Cuban finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the Hawks don't pick Gobert, it's unlikely that any team will pick Gobert after that. His $3 million, if nothing else, should have earned him a French tower!

After that, the draft session continued. Watching the rookies around him being read out of their names and the players being claimed into the team, Gobert was extremely disappointed and angry!

Do you really look down on me so much? It's true that I'm not the best, but I'm willing to practice, I'm willing to work hard!

Gobert's pick also slipped all the way from the predicted 17th place. Until the 26th pick, the Timberwolves selected Andre. Robertson, Goebel still didn't hear his name.

The wait is always long and bitter, and this night at Barclays Goebel is destined to be remembered for the rest of his life.

"The 27th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks picked ......"

On stage, Stern will announce the fate of the next player. Hearing the words Dallas Maverick, Goebel jerked his head up.

"You're so desperate to practice!?"

Yiyang, Goebel first remembered Yiyang who took the initiative to talk to him. That Chinese took revenge on the whole alliance without being favored, and until now, his revenge continues.

People humiliated him, looked down on him, and thought that a guard of his color would play in the NBA for two seasons at most. But now, he's an NBA champion, an MVP, and the hottest basketball player in the world!

He is an out-and-out avenger!

"The Dallas Mavericks chose, Rudy. Goebel, from Saint-Quentin, Picardi, France! Let's congratulate him! ”

As soon as Stern finished pronouncing the name, Gobert jerked himself up, took the Mavericks' baseball cap and put it on, then walked to the stage with his head held high!

My name is Rudy. Gobert, starting today, I'm going to take revenge on the league as a Dallas Mavericks player!

Goebel faces the camera with a serious expression and poses for a picture with Stern. The two Avengers have officially joined forces, and this story may be quite exciting.
