In 2016, Cleveland's Kant James led the Waiters to victory over the Golden State Braves, bringing the city of Cleveland's first championship in any sport and becoming the city's hero. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the same year, before the draft, the teams that did not enter the playoffs held a lottery meeting, and the Saravo Empires, who ranked last that season, successfully won the first pick, because of the mid-season trade, they also won the tenth pick, which can be said to be one of the winners of the trade market, and the fans of the Empires can only lament that this year is not a draft year.

Who will the Emperor team pick with the champion? There is no doubt about it, even Simon, the future ruler of the Ultimate Alliance, who claims to be Kant's successor, will not be able to stop the choice of the Imperial Team.

"In the 2016 Ultimate League Draft, the Saravo Kings were selected with the first pick...... Merris Arnold! Arthur Shaw, president of the Ultimate Alliance, said.

Dressed in a suit and smiling with her dream on her face, Merris rose to her seat, first hugged Monroe, then Wang Weiyu, and then walked to the stage and hugged Arthur warmly.

Later... Arthur then read: "In the 2016 Ultimate League Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers were selected with the second overall pick...... Simon Oliver from Kanmen University! ā€

Simon's expression was radiant, and he didn't seem disappointed to settle for the second pick, in fact, he had already shown goodwill to the Lakers.

Before the start of the college league, he even tweeted a photo of him wearing a Lakers jersey with a sentence - "Future? Los Angeles Lakers! ā€

Anyone who knows him even a little knows that he wants to go to the Lakers, so for him, it's a moment to get his wish come true.

"In the 2016 Ultimate League Draft, the Miami Fire Waves were selected with the third overall pick...... Somo Felder from Duke University! ā€

A slender man stood up, Wang Weiyu had a good relationship with him, he was chosen so in order, and silently blessed him in his heart. As a small forward, his physical condition is extremely outstanding, and at the same time, his shortcomings are also very obvious, he is very thin, and if he wants to survive in the ultimate league, he must gain weight, compared to his shortcomings, his strengths, his potential is the reason why the Firewaves cannot refuse.

He is considered the next Toin Davide.

Then, the fourth in line... Fifth in line...... Sixth in line...... Wang Weiyu was a little nervous, he was worried that he would be selected in advance.

Candidates are most concerned about their own rank, which represents the team's attention and cultivation efforts, like Wang Weiyu, who does not want to be selected prematurely. I'm afraid that throughout the ages, there will be only one one.

Finally, Arthur was ready to read his tenth name for the day, "In the 2016 Ultimate League Draft, the Saravo Kings were selected with the tenth pick... Weiyu Wang, from Quds University! ā€

"Congratulations, kid." Monroe hugged Wang Weiyu. Merris was not polite, and came directly to a bear hug, "Great, brother! We're on the same team again. "What a fate." Wang Weiyu read a sentence in Chinese in his ear. Qin Wei also applauded on the side, "Weiyu, great, you and Merris can compete together again." "No, for me, being selected by the Imperial Team, the most important thing is that I don't have to leave you." Wang Weiyu said softly.

Qin Wei was extremely moved and kissed Wang Weiyu in front of the cameras of countless media.

After that, Wang Weiyu took the stage and accepted the president's greetings.

The draft was very long, from start to finish for about half a day, and the first fourteen selected rookies stood together as a lottery show and took a photo with President Arthur.

After the draft, Wang Weiyu was surrounded by a group of Chinese media.

"Hello Weiyu, I'm a reporter from XX Sports, are you satisfied with your position?"

"I think it's good."

"Hello Xiao Wang, first of all, congratulations on being selected by the Imperial team, we noticed that you were selected by the Imperial team along with your teammate Merris, is this conducive to your integration into the team?"

'It definitely helps, I have a great understanding with Merris, he's a very talented player and it's been a lot of fun to play with him.

"Hello Weiyu, I'm a reporter from XX Weekly, I heard that the new head coach of the Imperial Team hasn't been decided yet, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"The team is my people."

"Do you know anything about the Imperial Team? Does their style of play match yours? ā€

"Whether it matches my style or not, I'll adapt as soon as possible."

"Tell us about your vision for next season."

"I want to do everything I can to help the team get a good result."

"Do you have any intention of joining the Chinese national team?"

"If there is a call-up, be willing to serve."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

After dealing with the Chinese media, Wang Weiyu did not have time to take a breath of relief, and the American media surrounded him, and his selection by the imperial team with the tenth pick surprised many people, and in the predictions of many authoritative media, his priority should be around fifteen.

After returning home, Wang Weiyu sat on the ground: "I'm tired!" "Want to eat something?" Qin Wei asked. Wang Weiyu said: "Whatever, don't bother too much." ā€

After sitting on the ground for a while, Wang Weiyu's mobile phone rang, the number on the mobile phone was a little familiar, and he picked it up, "Hello, who is it?" ā€

"Weiyu, congratulations." On the other end of the phone, a young man's voice came.

Wang Weiyu was stunned, "Brother? "I watched the live broadcast, congratulations on being selected by the Emperor team, you are one step closer to your goal." On the other end of the phone, the voice continued.

"You're not here to persuade me?" Wang Weiyu asked. The other end of the phone seemed to be smiling bitterly, "Now that the matter is over, even if I want to persuade you, I can't persuade you, if people know that I don't let you play, your fans will kill me." "So?" Wang Weiyu asked softly.

"I'm congratulating you from the bottom of my heart, and so is Dad, he's too busy to call you, I'll do it for you." said on the phone.

Wang Weiyu was silent for a while and asked, "Is Dad's health okay?" ā€

"It's very healthy, it's just that my mother misses you very much, when are you going to come home?"

"I'll find some time to go back."

"Okay, that's it."

"Hmm..."Wang Weiyu took down the mobile phone, this phone call, is it the meaning of the brother, or the meaning of the father? Can time really change a person?

You know, his father was strongly opposed to him playing basketball, and now he asked his brother to call to congratulate him?

However, it was really his stubborn father's style to let people congratulate him on this kind of thing.

Soon, Wang Weiyu and Merris joined the summer training of the Imperial Team.

Today, the Kings will hold their first intra-team match of the summer.

The personnel was incomplete, though, with four players on the team unable to show up due to other things, but the gym still had fourteen players, some of them free agents who came for a tryout, and some of them potential players who had been promoted from the lower leagues by the Kings.

A black man with a small head gathered everyone, everyone knew him, and he was a special presence in this team.

Carmen Gary, he is the symbol of the Imperial team, although he led the Imperial team never entered the playoffs, but his fierce defense, mad dog-like hard work, deeply won the love of the fans, last year several strong teams threw an olive branch to him, he did not leave, chose to stay, which made every Saravo full of respect for him.

Assistant coach Kelly Coker, dressed in casual attire, shouted, "Guys, we're going to have a matchup today, you guys have to give it their all, especially those who want to prove themselves in this league, let me see what you're capable of!" ā€

Carmen and the rest of his teammates formed a team that was significantly stronger, with two starters inside, starting center Pete XY and starting small forward Samel Murphy.

Wang Weiyu stood aside and patted and begged, but Merris was extremely excited, he ran to the distance and grabbed the poor basket, his arms were a little thicker than they were in the college league, and he was already showing some future curves.

"Merris, don't get too excited." Wang Weiyu shouted. Merris exclaimed, "I'm so excited! Aren't you excited? "A little." Wang Weiyu glanced at Carmen, judging from the previous games, this is a defender who is full of strategy, although he is not in the position of him, he has to find a way to restrict.

Wang Weiyu's real opponent today is Samel Murphy, the main striker of the Imperial team.

"I'm your coach for this game." A black man walked up and said, "They're stronger in terms of strength, but you're more hungry to win, so, play at your level." ā€

As the key objects of the team's investigation, Wang Weiyu and Merris entered the starting list without any suspense.

Wang Weiyu swept away his teammates who were on the court together, and in addition to Merris, there was also a power forward from the free market, and two players who had been promoted from the lower leagues.

Especially the little guard, seeing his hot eyes, Wang Weiyu had a bad premonition.

In the jump ball link, Merris's talent completely suppressed Pete, and as soon as the ball reached the top, it was slapped away by Merris.

The little black defender is named Borg, and he is extremely fast, like an elf in a magical world, grabbing the ball and rushing forward when he rubs the ground, his speed is really fast.

Wang Weiyu also ran forward quickly, and before he could throw it to the three-point line, Borg had already broken into the restricted area, and as soon as he stepped on it, he was about to make a layup.

A dark shadow flashed beside him, and then, a solid wall rose and hit him in the face with a layup. It was undoubtedly a successful defense, but the best was yet to come. Merres, who caught up, followed the ball, like an alien creature out of gravity, and slammed his hands in front of Carmen, roaring in the air and pulling the basket.

Carmen stood outside the line, picked up the ball and threw it out, "Samel!" ā€

Samer held the ball steadily, pushed forward, and the speed was not slow, and soon, he was caught up by Wang Weiyu.

"Rookie, do you think you can stop me?" Samr spewed trash talk, and his first step was very fast, almost grabbing Wang Weiyu's position. Wang Weiyu's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, he actually got out of the way, and with a backhand, he touched Samer's ball. Samr didn't concede the ball and he regained control of it, but the fast break failed.

Falling into a positional battle, Samr was surprised by Wang Weiyu's defense, and the basketball went to Carmen's hands.

What happens when a puppy and a wolf bite each other? If you don't know, you can take a look at this group of matchups, Borg is 1.8 meters tall; Carmen is 1.92 meters tall, which is more than 10 centimeters in height, as well as a huge difference in body thickness.

It was an unfair matchup, with Carmen only dribbling the ball to make Borg disappear from front of him, and he squeezed away and drove towards the penalty area.

Wang Weiyu made up for it, but Carmen passed it backhanded.

Samr was a big open spot, but he didn't seem to find his touch and missed the shot.

Carmen grabbed the offensive rebound and relied on Wang Weiyu to score the ball.

Wang Weiyu felt a heat in his chest, and Carmen had just confronted him directly, which was rare.

Is this the confrontation of the Ultimate Alliance? Wang Weiyu shook his palm and ran over slowly. In turn, Borg controlled the ball, although he only experienced one attack and one defense, but Wang Weiyu saw that Borg was a player who was strong in attack and weak in defense.

In the defense fast attack just now, his defense is extremely slow, such a guard, there are many in the Ultimate League, and he is taller than him and has better physical fitness than him.

If he only has this ability, I'm afraid he can only go back to the lower alliance.

Borg didn't have a teammate in his eyes, he just wanted to prove his attacking power, and Merris was tough under the basket, he turned a blind eye and chose to attack himself.

Defended by Carmen, he hurried his shot, missed the shot, and in turn was beaten into a counterattack.

In the absence of the ball, Wang Weiyu and Merris quickly changed roles, they respectively made Pitt and Samel two starters defense, halfway through, the black assistant coach finally couldn't bear it anymore and replaced Borg, "W, you come to control the ball, is there a problem?" "No problem." Wang Weiyu just replied.

Back to the game, Wang Weiyu controlled the ball in his hand, which was a long-lost thing.

In the college league, he didn't have many opportunities to control the ball, one is that he doesn't attack, and the other is that the team has excellent defenders and doesn't need him to make a cameo, and today by chance, he touched the ball again and had the power to dominate the ball.

The pressure on Samr has doubled, Wang Weiyu's defense has made him suffer a lot, and how about his offense?

Damn, I've never heard him can control the ball, how can he ...... today?

This time, Pete was stronger than Merris at the basket, who was all pushed back. Beads of sweat fell from Merris's face, and he held Pete's back with one hand and held it high with the other.

It was at this time that Wang Weiyu shot without warning in front of Samr.

"What's the situation?" Samel's mind was blank, and he instinctively made a block, but the ball was already out, and the arc was wrong.

Having shot millions of balls, he could see at a glance that this arc was not going to the basket. The ball, which hit the basket without a mistake and didn't fall into Pete's hand, fell right at the front of the basket, went around Pete's area, and fell into Merris's hand. Merris was so excited that he picked up the ball and easily put it in the basket.

"W, that's a good shot!" Merris ran over and patted Wang Weiyu.

Soon, Samer used his strong body to lean on Wang Weiyu and forced a goal.

came back again, Wang Weiyu relied on Merris's blocking and dismantling to burst into the free throw area to score a jumper.

In a training match, Wang Weiyu's biggest shortcoming was also exposed, his body was slightly thin, and he was very uncomfortable with the confrontation of the Ultimate Alliance.

But as Monroe said, he doesn't have the potential to beneath Merris.

"We've definitely dug up a piece of treasure." Kelly said.
