Chapter 32: Plan B in advance

David Stern opened the envelope, made a slightly exaggerated look of surprise, and read aloud: "The 1st pick in the 1995 draft, the Golden State Warriors chose Joe Smith from the University of Maryland, let's congratulate this young man from Virginia!" ”

The three of them who were staring at each other on the sidelines, as soon as they heard Joe Smith's name, they immediately turned to this lucky bastard, and the jealousy in their eyes couldn't be hidden. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"He's the champion? Why! The three of them complained in their hearts at the same time, how can this bastard be the champion?

Zhang Zhu saw that the title of "Champion Lang" was gone, and he was first disappointed, and then lost interest in the rest of the draft.

To be honest, he only fancies the best reward, which is the "champion BUFF". But he doesn't care which pick he is in at all, he just wants that BUFF, strictly speaking, the bonus effect brought by that BUFF.

Now he can't get the best reward, and he has no interest in other inferior goods, even if he is given the "list eye" position, he will only be depressed about missing the "champion BUFF".

Zhang Fu's character is like this, if there is a choice between high and low for him to choose, then he will only want the best choice, and nothing else.

The audience in front of the TV heard the ABC radio host explain, "The results are in, and our first lucky winner of the day is Joe Smith from the University of Maryland, a power forward with amazing athleticism who showed us what he is capable of during March Madness." But to be honest, I didn't expect him to be the champion. Now the little green room is full of little ones with green eyes, so let's not disturb them. Now that you can see that the general manager of the Clippers has wrapped the envelope, which rookie will they pick with the second pick? Let's stay tuned......"

"That's right, just sit back, I think you can sleep first, although it may not be your turn when you wake up." Stoudemire saw the Clippers hand over the envelope and felt confident that he had performed so well during the Clippers' tryout. In the past few days, the agent also told him that Elgin Baylor has revealed the rumors that the Clippers will pick him with the second pick.

Stoudemire already thinks that he is a famous person at this moment, so he naturally dares to mock Zhang Qi without any scruples.

Zhang Fu is too lazy to take care of this guy, he who has lost the best reward is now a wasted person, and he is slumped on the seat in a semi-lying position at the moment, and he is asking the rabbit butler in his heart, is there a chance to get back the reward that was missed like this?

"Absolutely!" The rabbit butler snapped his fingers, and a gambling machine that can be seen everywhere in Las Vegas immediately appeared next to him, "If you look closely, there are not only cards for sale in the store, but you can also upgrade or buy some additional features, such as this gambling machine can achieve your wishes, and its specific role is to use the lower reward as gambling chips, and then exchange for a task that can be exchanged for a higher reward." ”

The rabbit butler shook the joystick on the machine and said with a smile: "Let me explain to you briefly, you can put the secondary reward you got this time into the gambling machine, and then select the 'champion BUFF' reward that you have missed, and then the gambling opportunity will calculate a new task for you that is much more difficult than the previous task according to the size of the chips you put in and the preciousness of the redemption reward." Once you've completed this new mission, you can turn your bike into a bike and turn your bet into a reward. But if you can't complete this new mission, then I'm sorry, you won't even have a consolation prize, and you'll lose cleanly! ”

"Awesome, that's it, I'm going to redeem this feature." As soon as Zhang Qi heard that there was still a chance to get the champion BUFF back, he immediately came to his senses, and his body sat up straight again.

"Sorry, the gambling machine costs 10,000 points, and you need to upgrade to a level 2 shop to buy it." The rabbit butler quickly threw out a cruel hint, Zhang Zhu's deposit of more than 3,000 points was not enough to complete either of the two preconditions for the time being.

On the draft table, David Stern had just taken the envelope handed by Elgin Baylor, and when he opened it and saw the name on it, he immediately looked in the direction of Zhang Mao.

However, as soon as the party heard the reply of 20,000 competition points, he instantly returned to a paralyzed sitting position, shaking his head and sighing that he didn't know what year and month it would take for the 20,000 competition points to be enough, and there was no hope for his life.

"The second pick in the 1995 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected ...... 'dirty' from Australia, well, that's him. Let's congratulate this lad from Australia! The president felt that the pronunciation of the Chinese name was very tongue-twisting, and at the same time he was surprised in his heart, he thought that Zhang Yu would not be selected until at least the tenth pick, but he did not expect to open the envelope for the second time and read his name.

When Stoudemire and Starhouse heard David Stern pronounce Zhang Zhu's name, their whole body was petrified in an instant!

Especially when they saw Zhang Qi who was still in a paralyzed sitting position, their hearts were even more difficult to accept.

"Why is he!?" The two thought that they might fall out of the top three, but they never imagined that Zhang Zhu, a bastard, could squeeze into the top three!

It's not a joke, he just had a good performance in one tryout, is it worth the two years of fighting in college?

"What? Am I the leader? Zhang Qi didn't react until the light hit him, and quickly left from his awkward sitting position, still muttering in his heart: I am actually a leader?

He didn't expect to be a role model himself! And it's not just him, no one thought that the Clippers would choose an obscure Australian high school student!? So when David Stern read out Zhang Fu's name, there was an uproar, followed by an overwhelming boo......

The ABC radio commentator was also interrupted by the sudden huge boos at the scene, of course, he didn't expect this result, and after a pause, he said a little hurriedly: "The Clippers selected Zhang ...... 'dirty' from Knox Grammar High School in Australia with the second pick, well, it's him." In fact, you've probably never heard the name, he's a mixed-race Chinese who is only 18 years and 22 days old this year. It is worth mentioning that this Chinese-Australian player will be the first Chinese player to enter the first round of the draft since the formation of the NBA. And, he also broke the record for the youngest player in the NBA's first round today, as he is not yet 18 years and a month old. ”

Zhang Wei is still a little confused at the moment, especially when he hears the boos from the fans in the audience, it will be obvious that no one knows which onion he is, and what qualifications does he have to become a top show?

You know, Pippen was selected with the fifth pick that year, and there was a violent boo at the draft scene!

Now his situation is obviously more excessive than Pippen back then, except for a very small number of female fans who only recognize faces, no one really knows what qualifications he has to become a top show?

"Damn, you boo me?" After Zhang Qi reacted, he immediately raised his hand to hold the peaked cap, and the red heart on it had just been painted by him with a cloud-piercing arrow.

He knew that at this time, the close-up would definitely be on the cloud-piercing arrow he drawn, and his little girlfriend, who was getting up early in Australia to watch the live broadcast at the moment, would definitely see the difference before and after.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Wei stepped on the draft table, the attribute panel that had been adjusted by him to the left of his line of sight changed, and Zhang Baizhi's attributes rose several points in a row, saving another card money.

Favor: 84 (83) ↑

Jealousy: 72 (72)-

Submissive: 78 (76) ↑

Sex bath: 77 (76) ↑

Debauchery: 70 (71) ↓

Tada: 79 (78) ↑

"Damn, ascend to life, why did you even rise in the sex bath?" Zhang Wei cursed in his heart, but his face was full of smiles and shook hands with David Stern and hugged him.

"Congratulations, and hopefully I'll be able to witness a new star on the rise." David Stern had a good impression of Zhang Qi and gave him a special blessing.

"Thank you, I'll work on it." After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he shook hands with Elgin Baylor next to him and hugged him.

"It's a big deal, but I think it's worth it." After Elgin Baylor stepped forward and hugged Zhang Qi, he said meaningfully.

Zhang Yu didn't understand what Lord Belle meant, he was now lamenting that he had become a role model, and he was still regretting the "champion BUFF". Although the bonus of the "Bangyan BUFF" is only a little worse, but a Virgo like him will never allow this kind of imperfection, since there is something better in front of him, then he must not use this kind of secondary goods.

"Besides, the word 'Bangyan' is too ugly, how can you take it out to meet people? He thinks that even 'Tanhua' is much better than 'Bangyan'. Zhang Mao always called "Bangyan" as "Ma Yan" in his heart, although his horse eye was very big, he was still very resistant to this reward. However, he was very satisfied with the additional 3,000 Arena Points, and his deposit instantly reached 6,800 points, which is one step closer to buying gambling machines and upgrading the shop.

David Stern handed the microphone to Zhang Fu, who was thinking about it, and motioned for him to give his acceptance speech.

"Don't shush, everyone, when I prove that I am a parallel import, you will be polite to me again, and I will feel better at that time." Zhang Wei took the microphone and told a cold joke first, intending to link the awkward atmosphere of the scene.

But what made him even more embarrassed was that the boos from the fans in the audience were even louder, and people didn't buy it at all, which made David Stern on the side a little dissatisfied, feeling that this was a bit too much for a high school student.

Of course, Zhang Wei was angry in his heart, and resisted the urge to scold these bastards, and said with a smile: "I originally prepared a large part of the selection speech, since everyone looks at me so unpleasantly, then I will make a long story short." ”

The fans who were booing at the scene heard him say this, and the boos finally became a little quieter.

Zhang Qi scolded again in his heart, but he could only speed up his words and said: "Thank you to my father, thank you to all the people who supported me, and thank you to the league for giving me the opportunity to play in the NBA, and thank you to the Clippers for allowing me to stand on the stage...... But in the end, I would also like to thank you for your boos. But don't get me wrong, I mean, in order to avoid such a warm welcome the next time you see me, I'm going to try to prove that I'm worthy of this position, thank you, I'm done! After Zhang Qi finished speaking, he quickly put on the hat of the Clippers and signaled that his selection speech was finished.

David Stern nodded inwardly, Zhang Wei was obviously unhappy with these boos, but this kind of venting was very clever and very much in line with his heart. He has always believed that as a player, even if he is angry, he can't be unhappy with the fans of his parents, this is his bottom line.

At this moment, Stoudemire and Starkerhouse, who were still standing in the little green room stupidly, still couldn't react, and shouted loudly in their hearts: "This is not true! That bastard actually became the leader and rode on them? ”

Elgin Baylor then walked off the draft table with Zhang, and he said in an interview with reporters on the sidelines: "We've seen all the footage of Lyon High School, he's very athletic, he's very athletic, he's very strong, he's fast. He's shooting and passing beyond our imagination, he's getting better and he's never been complacent. We think he's a much more mature player than he really is, and even if he hasn't played a game in the NBA, I think he's going to adapt to the NBA very quickly and get stronger, faster, better. ”

"Clippers?" Zhang Wei was also in a trance, he didn't have much affection for this team, and he never thought that the Clippers would finally draft him?

Jerry West was communicating with his boss on the phone in the VIP private room at the moment, Harris beside him was contemplating, and a tense atmosphere condensed in the whole private room, only Jenny Bass was staring at the immature Zhang Qi from the window with interest.

After a few minutes, the Lakers legend put away the phone and nodded to Harris and Jeanie Buss, and the silence and oppressive atmosphere in the room eased.

"The owner has agreed, and now it's up to us how much we can save for the team." Jerry West said pointedly.

"I still think it's too risky, and if the gamble fails, we probably won't even be able to make the playoffs this year." Harris shook his head, he didn't approve of West's adventure, and Don Nelson was a lesson from that.

"Eighteen years old, that's really young!" Jenny Bass seemed to be focusing on a different kind of focus than the two, and she had been staring at Zhang Qi's face with a telescope.

Jerry West looked determined, as if he was talking to himself, and said, "Instead of being tepid, it's better to break the boat!" Actually, he didn't say a word, "It's just Plan B that was executed in advance!" ”
