The draft finally ended with the cheers of the audience, and He Dong successfully joined the Pelicans with the 6th pick, but the outside world began to talk about it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Back at the hotel, He Dong opened the NBA forum, and his eyes widened immediately, all NBA media were actually reporting the news that he was selected by the NBA.

"A supernova was born, and he was the one who averaged 40 points per game that year?" -- Wet NBA forum.

"The arrival of the Huaguo Demon Star, will he make the league tremble with an average of 40 points per game?" -- The old wave NBA.

"Surprise! Huaguo Rising Star was selected in the 6th pick, but he was not the big devil. - Antarctic animal NBA.

In addition to these thunderous headlines, there are also many news about He Dong, and his deeds in the winter trials and participation in the U17 World Youth Championships have all been picked up.

Fans are hotly discussed, and the news about He Dong, each of which has reached tens of thousands of comments, and the most can reach 100,000!

This kind of popularity, I'm afraid He Dong himself didn't expect it.

But the people next to him were already a little impatient, Lu Qing snatched He Dong's mobile phone, and then threw it aside, looking at him with confused eyes.

"I'm the original."

"I'm not assembled either."

In the room, spring is in full swing.

……

The next morning, under Jaerys's arrangement, he was going to sign a rookie contract with the Pelicans today, and the former was dismissive of the money, but for He Dong, it was a huge amount of money.

These are all US dollar bills, and He Dong never thought that he would earn US dollars before.

Lu Qing is also busy with various university exams these days, and she needs time to prepare, and it is also today that she is leaving.

Although the two have already had a relationship, they are afraid that they will have to wait until Luqing University graduates from Luqing University to live together and get married.

Before parting, the two kissed affectionately, and then reluctantly said goodbye, Lu Qing went to the airport, and He Dong rushed to New Orleans with Jerrys, where the Pelicans are located.

On the Internet, although some careful netizens found that He Dong should be only 18 years old this year, and he is not yet 19 years old, and he should not be able to participate in the NBA draft, but then someone spoke out, explaining that He Dong was actually wrong in age, and his real age was indeed 19 years old.

Of course, all of this was arranged by Jerrys, and this little thing was easy for him.

When they arrived in New Orleans, everyone came to the office building where the Pelicans were located, and in the general manager's office, He Dong met Pelicans general manager Dale Danps.

When Danps saw He Dong coming in, he immediately got up from his chair and shook hands with He Dong with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Ho Dong."

Danpus seemed very kind, asked someone to get He Dong a good cup of coffee, and then talked about the signing.

"He Dong, I'll have someone bring over the rookie contract in a while, and now I want to talk to you about something else first."

Today's topic is the signing of a contract, but there is definitely something else to talk about between the general manager and the rookie.

"Well, excuse me."

He Dong made a "please" gesture, looking very polite.

Jares sat down on the couch smiling, knowing that the general manager and the players were just talking about the team's culture and some things that the players needed to follow, such as curfews and not being able to go to activities that could cause injuries.

As expected, before the contract was taken, Danps and He Dong chatted about the team's culture and the things that the players needed to abide by, and they spat and didn't drink a sip of water.

After the staff sent the contract, Jeris helped look at the contract and confirmed that there was no problem, before nodding and asking He Dong to sign.

In fact, they generally won't dig holes for you, after all, the Pelicans have a reputation, and digging holes in the contract will only damage their reputation, but Jerry is used to being cautious, which is also a manifestation of his value for He Dong's development.

The next step is to meet the manager, it's the off-season, the players are going to their own activities, only the manager will continue to work and prepare for next season's journey.

Head coach Elvin Gentry is sitting in his office chair looking out the window with a sad face, the roads in the city are so smooth, but the Pelicans' journey is so bumpy.

Trades for Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson have started and are progressing well, and in Gentry's opinion, both guys are not good defensively and are also plagued by injuries that must be dealt with as soon as possible, and Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, has expressed interest in the two.

The deal was an instant deal, and it was finally negotiated.

Ho Dong knocked on the door, and then heard Gentry invite in.

Entering the office, He Dong immediately greeted the latter: "Hello, Coach Gentry." ”

Gentry had a good attitude towards Ho Dong and replied with a smile: "The Pelicans welcome you to be a part of the team. ”

"Huaguo boy, you know, the reason why we chose you is to hope that you can be the outside helper of our team's signature superstar Anthony Davis, and we hope that you will not disappoint the team."

Gentry has seriousness in his eyes, and it is his idea that the Pelicans will abandon Buddy Hield in favor of Ho Dong, so to speak, Gentry is Ho Dong's first Bole after entering the NBA.

"Well, I'm going to do my best to contribute to the team."

He Dong nodded seriously, now he is talking to his head coach.

"Well, I hope you'll be able to deliver on what you say." Gentry nodded with satisfaction, the vigor on He Dong's face was exactly what he wanted to see.

Gentry then chatted with He Dong about many other things, such as what preferences each player has, which can help He Dong quickly integrate into the team family and get along with each teammate faster.

After chatting with Gentry, He Dong naturally benefited a lot, and now he feels that he is about to take off in the NBA, but Gentry said that whether He Dong can play or not, how long he will play, he has to rely on himself to fight, if he plays well, he can naturally play more, if the performance does not meet expectations, then don't blame Gentry for being ruthless, as a head coach, he has to think about the team's record, and it is impossible to let a low-strength rookie play indiscriminately.

Before leaving, Gentry told Ho that as a rookie, he would arrange for him to play in Summer League.

Summer league is mainly for those rookies to show their strength, and Ho Dong needs to show his strength in this league to gain Gentry's trust.

If he doesn't perform well in the summer league, then Ho Dong will be testing Gentry's patience.

There are two types of summer leagues, namely the Orlando League and the Las Vegas League.

There are not many games, and it is all about training people.

And this year's summer league is naturally a gladiatorial arena for the 16-level rookies.
