Chapter 81: Intrigue behind the stage

A dozen little guys in the small green room are anxiously waiting for their belonging, while the uniform teams and management of the thirty teams are also gathered in their temporary conference rooms to nervously prepare for the final preparations for the draft.

"May God bless..."

Jeff Bob sat in the conference room of the Pistons with his hands folded and looked at the sky and prayed, he spent a lot of money in order to get Bai Xiaonian this time, and forcibly gave Maddie to the Cavaliers at the risk of getting out of class in exchange for the Cavaliers' first-round No. 4 pick, it can be said that all his hopes are pinned on Bai Xiaonian.

"Whew... The No. 4 pick should be stable! ”

Falling into his chair, Jeff Bauer took a long breath and tried to calm himself down.

Unbeknownst to him, however, was that in the conference room next to him, the Jazz management was in the middle of a heated argument.

"I will never allow you to do that! If you dare to choose Wood White, I dare to fire you! ”

Jazz general manager David Morway almost roared out what he wanted to say.

"Really? You see what this is first! ”

Deputy General Manager Gasyan spread his hands noncommittally, then took out a stack of papers from the drawer next to him and handed it to David Mowe, who was furious.

"What's that?"

David didn't pick up the stack of papers, and his instincts told him that it wasn't anything good.

"Just open it and see it!"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Gasyan directly shoved the paper in his hand into David Morwey's hand.

And the latter had to look at it very reluctantly...

After 30 seconds~

"Can you guarantee the authenticity of this power of attorney?"

David Morwe said angrily, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, are the people on the team board crazy? How could you agree to such a ridiculous proposal from Gasyan?

"It's true, sir..."

"They promised you to take down that Asian kid with our No. 3 pick?" Still unimaginable, David Mowe confirmed again.

"Yes..."

Gasyan snuffed out his last illusions, and David Morwe collapsed directly into his seat as if he had lost all his strength.

That's when David Stern finally put an end to his lengthy clichΓ©s on the stage of the draft, and it was time to announce the results of this year's draft.

"The first person to be drafted in the 2011 NBA Draft was..."

Taking the small piece of paper handed over by the staff in the audience, David Stern glanced at the content written on it and deliberately lengthened his voice and said.

Kyrie Irving, who was sitting next to Bai Xiaonian in the small green room in the audience, twisted his body a little uneasily, although the Cleveland Cavaliers had made a promise to him, but he was always a little worried about not really hearing his name come out of David Stern's mouth.

"Hey! Man, no problem! Believe in yourself! ”

Bai Xiaonian patted his good friend on the shoulder to comfort him, although Owen still looked relatively calm on the surface, but the little white boy sitting next to him knew that this guy was already shaking like chaff.

"Hmm..."

Owen's answer was like a mosquito sound.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers have chosen... Kyrie Irving from Duke University, born on March 23, 1992, 188 cm tall, 61 kg, point guard, let's congratulate this young man! ”

David Stern's voice was heard through the stereo throughout the Prudential Center arena, and of course, to the small green room where Bai Xiaonian was located.

"! Wood: I really got chosen! I was chosen! ”

The moment he heard his name from David Stern's mouth, Owen jumped up and hugged Bai Xiaonian beside him and shouted.

"You let me go! Damn, where are you touching? Why don't you get out of here..."

Our frightened little white shoes screamed directly, slapping Owen's misplaced hand away and pushing the lewd guy onto the stage.

"Thank you, Wood..."

Obviously, Owen still wanted to say something to Bai Xiaonian, but our little white children's shoes didn't give him that chance, and directly handed Owen to his agent and patted his ass and left.

Emma, who witnessed this big drama on the side, covered her mouth and snickered, how could the little friends who played with Bai Xiaonian be so shapeless.

In the entire small green room, except for Bai Xiaonian and Klay, the two guys looked at Irving with some envy, and being able to become the champion of an NBA draft symbolizes your supremacy in this rookie class, as well as the incomparable training resources in the team after entering the league.

David Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers, was standing at the entrance of the stage waiting for the big boy he had loved for a long time, and the countless camera flashes almost didn't directly flash Irving's eyeballs, and at this moment he felt like the superstar here!

Of course, most of the people in the audience had such expressions on their faces, after all, the scandal between the Cavaliers and Irving was not a matter of one or two days, and many people had already guessed the end of this story.

On stage, David Stern put a hat on the Cavaliers' crest on Irving, and he could faintly see the flow of water in his eyes.

"I would like to thank Mr. David Griffin first and foremost, who gave me the role of playing for Cleveland..."

After a one-size-fits-all diplomatic rhetoric, Owen paused, then continued:

"Today I'd like to thank one guy who's going to be standing here in a moment to give you his 'acceptance speech', and he's Wood White, my buddy! He has been encouraging me to forge ahead during the most important time in my life, and I wish him the best of luck tonight! ”

Bai Xiaonian, who was sitting in the small green room, smiled awkwardly at Emma beside him, why is this guy Owen so sensational!

After Irving's speech, his new boss, David Griffin, also expressed his expectations for Irving's future:

"I'm sure he's the guy we've been looking for, and it's great to be able to bring his talent to Cleveland and I think we'll have a great time together!"

Gasyan in the audience already felt that they had won the winning roll, and they wanted to use the No. 3 pick to win Bai Xiaonian, so that this talented young man could play for the hot land of Utah!

And Jeff Ball, who didn't know anything about the Utah Jazz, was still stupidly holding the No. 4 pick and chuckling, and his mind was that the Pistons' No. 11 jersey was flying over the palace in Auburn Hills...

Just when the fans in the stadium were waiting impatiently, the general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves finally wrote their final choice on a small piece of paper and handed it to the staff.

Timberwolves' new head coach Rick Adelman was smiling, and he was sure the crowd would love the surprise.

David Stern took the small piece of paper with the list on it again, and when he saw the name written on it, it was strange, are these guys crazy tonight?

"The second pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft was..."

Stern on the stage said loudly, while Bai Xiaonian in the audience was very relaxed, he knew that the first three draft picks had nothing to do with him, and he was ready to go to the Detroit Pistons!

"The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted... Born on July 24, 1992, he is 191 cm tall, weighs 64 kg, and is also a point guard. ”
