Chapter Ninety-Seven: The NBA Draft

Listening to the sound of the audience talking on the audience, Liming immediately asked Shan Qin for his mobile phone, and then opened the AT webpage to check the situation of the draft. Coach Hu was standing among the players talking about tactics at www.biquge.info moment, and he didn't notice the dawn of leaving, so he didn't care.

At the Barclays Center Arena in Brooklyn, New York, USA, the 2016 NBA draft began at this time, NBA President Xiao Hua finally took out the envelope of the champion in his hand after saying a lot of nonsense, he gently tore it open, looked underneath, and smiled.

Li Jing was not too nervous at this moment, he knew that Philadelphia would not be able to choose him, because he did not accept the Philadelphia trial, not that he didn't want to go, but he didn't want to go, this team, but the famous garbage team, has been inactive in the past few years, so he didn't want to go, and that day he tried out for the Lakers, the general manager of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss, praised him, and even praised him as the best rookie in this class, and the new head coach, Wharton, was also impressed by him, He demanded that the team use the draft pick to take him down.

So Li Jing has a rough bottom in his heart. He didn't want to sign the champion at all.

Sure enough, when Xiao Hua read out the contents of the envelope, there was no Li Jing, but that Simmons. Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Philadelphia didn't choose him, he was relieved. However, he glanced at Simmons, who was said to be the most powerful man close to James, perhaps his biggest enemy of his class, and maybe even his lifelong enemy, so his eyes glowed green.

Simmons also seemed to feel Li Jing's hostility, and also turned to look at Li Jing, the sparks of the two exploded in the air, attracting many people to look here, Simmons didn't mind everyone's eyes, at the moment he was also very unhappy, he wanted to go to the Lakers, not the Philadelphia 76ers, he also hated this team that was rotten all day long, and even let him try out, he also refused like Li Jing. But now that it's a fact, he has no way to change it, and he can only hope that the Lakers will replace him. As for Li Jing's eyes, he didn't take it to heart, he also learned Li Jing's strength, it is true that his strength is not bad, even one point better than him, but he is a person who has played in the junior league, and he is just a person who competes in college basketball, the intensity of the game between the two is different, naturally Li Jing will be stronger, Simmons believes that as long as he goes to play in the junior league, he can definitely be stronger than Li Jing, but he doesn't, he doesn't want to go to those semi-professional leagues so early to stereotype himself, He wants to have some flexibility to make himself more malleable, so that it is easier to survive in the NBA. What's more, the NCAA is much more well-known now, playing on it, it's all opportunities, where it's like going to the junior league, it's a pure waste of time, although there is an increase in strength, but that will make his style stereotyped, and he doesn't want to lose more than he loses.

Li Jing also knew this at the beginning, but he was not afraid, he was already stereotyped, he was going to play point guard, and there was no other position, so he went there to tap his talent, and there was no other purpose. As for whether it is elastic or not, he doesn't care at all, where the talent is, no matter how much position you swing, you must be proficient in one position.

Xiao Hua didn't pause, he continued to take out the list and read it out, Li Jing was a little nervous now, and he didn't know why, he was just nervous. When Xiao Hua smiled and said the final answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Lakers selected Li Jing from China."

Li Jing met Xia Yu's gaze, stood up, walked up to the stage, shook hands with Xiao Hua, and said a lot of words like thanking his parents and went down.

Don't look at Li Jing who was a little nervous just now, that's because Li Jing knew that the Lakers had a habit of repenting, and last year, they cheated Downs and didn't choose him, but Russell, which made Downs very unhappy. Although time has proven that he is the best rookie in this class, more than Russell's kid, the wound of the draft is still in his heart. And this year, Li Jing must also beware of this, he knows that the Lakers center is not very good, but the guard line is crowded, and it is understandable not to choose him, even if Coach Wharton asks him, the manager does not know if he will do it, so he is also prepared for another hand, as long as the Lakers do not choose him, Li Jing will definitely be in the top ten, which not only ensures that his contract salary will not be too small, but also does not let himself fall into the embarrassing situation that no one chooses.

Simmons also looked at Li Jing at this moment, he was already silently sad for this kid in his heart, he heard that the Lakers were going to make a trade with the 76ers, and the target was him, and now that Li Jing was selected, Simmons estimated that Li Jing would exchange teams with him at that time. So there was some sympathy for him up.

And Ingram on the side was obviously a little depressed, he would have thought that the Lakers would choose him this time, but he didn't expect the Lakers to choose Li Jing instead, and his eyes dimmed.

When Li Jing came down, he was vaguely excited, he walked towards Xia Yu, clapped his palms with Xia Yu, and celebrated.

"I was chosen."

"Yes! The first person with the highest pick in the history of Chinese basketball. Xia Yu blurted out.

"It's not! It's you! Champion. Li Jing has not forgotten that Xia Yu is the champion.

"I'm talking about you guys." Xia Yu glanced at Li Jing.

"Don't say it, don't say it, anyway, we have a bumper harvest in China this year, a champion and a leader, God knows how those guys in China will publicize it."

.......

The rest of the matter, everyone doesn't care anymore, after Li Jing was selected by the Lakers, no one in Huaxia cared about the draft below, when they learned that Li Jing was selected by the Lakers, one by one they cheered and jumped up, happy for Li Jing, this is to help the Chinese people breathe a sigh of relief, for so many years, the Chinese people have never won the top three in the NBA, even if it is Sun Zhongyue, he did not, but in the lotto show, this moment, everyone is very excited, and the media has more material to write.

The cheers from the scene scared Dawn a lot, he looked at the excited audience, he knew that everyone was also happy for Li Jing, and he also knew Li Jing's situation at this time, so he was also relieved, Coach Hu at this moment found his figure. "Dawn, what are you doing over there?" Coach Hu looked at it from a distance and asked for Liming.

Liming raised his head, only then did he come back to his senses, it turned out that he had been wandering outside, and he had heard Coach Hu's tactical arrangement at all, so he hurriedly rushed over, Coach Hu looked at Liming, and when he thought of the cheers of the audience just now, he roughly understood some things, and he didn't blame him. I continued to repeat the tactics to him.

"Beep beep!"

The referee's whistle blew, and the players from both sides were ready, and to the cheers of everyone, they walked onto the basketball court.

On the side of the Storm team, except for Liu Heng, who became closed, the rest of the four starters have not changed, and the lineup of the youth team is to follow the starting lineup in the first quarter, and the youth coach intends to let them chase back the leading score in this quarter, and then facilitate the counterattack in the fourth quarter.

"Is the academy crazy?" Wei Ping couldn't help but say.

He doesn't understand what the youth team is planning, and the main force will come out in the third quarter, which is not good, in case it is the fourth quarter, these people have no strength, and it will definitely be over. He had never seen anyone start to work in the third quarter, so he was surprised.

Yang Yi was very open-minded, and she explained while watching the players moving on the court.

"The youth team is betting on it, as long as the bet is right, then it is possible to win the game, so who will win in the end depends on their performance."

......

On the pitch, the academy attacked.

Allen advanced with the ball, and after half the court, he made a block with Ye Tingcheng, and then quickly passed the ball back to Ye Tingcheng's hand, Ye Tingcheng passed to Duf, Dufu totoed a little, shook a little, and then started suddenly, an accelerated breakthrough, squeezed into the inside.

The inside line of the Storm team quickly pounced and blocked Duff's route, and Duff paused and quickly split the ball.

"Not good." Ah Cheng shouted.

"Bottom corner......" Closed Deguan watched the route of Duff's pass, sped forward, and followed, but it was already a little late.

In an instant, many Storm fans shouted, because at the three-point line in the bottom left corner, Allen was already standing silently, receiving a pass from Duff, adjusted it slightly, jumped quickly, and shook his wrist.

"Huh!"

Ball in, three points.

The audience suddenly remembered thunderous cheers, of course, there were boos, these were the fans of the Storm Team, but Allen didn't care about any boos at all, competitive games, as long as you can win, nothing matters.

The Storms quickly fought back, first missing the shot, but got the rebound, hit a low-angle shot, and scored two points.

The youth team attacked, Allen quickly arrived at the front, made a gesture to his teammates, everyone pulled away, Allen glanced at the person defending himself, one accelerated, stopped sharply, turned around, a series of actions in one go, shook off the opponent and raised his hand to throw.

"Huh!"

Again.

In just a moment, Allen scored three points and two points, and quickly scored 5 points, which made everyone awe-inspired.

Duff is not surprised, but he has been training Duff for a long time, he knows that Alan has this kind of strength, so there is no extra surprise, just nodded, and then continued to do a good job of defense, after all, there are still many points that have not caught up, and it may be bad if it goes on in such a grinding and chirping.

Coach Hu of the Storm Team also quickly changed his tactics and ordered his players to wrap up Allen, he knew that no one on his side could prevent Allen one-on-one, of course Dawn could, but he couldn't waste Dawn's physical strength, and he still needed to step forward in the later games.

It's just that he soon learned that he couldn't even bag clips.

As long as Allen receives the ball, someone will come up to wrap it, then he will give the ball to Ye Tingcheng or Duf, Ye Tingcheng is okay, there is Dawn watching, Dufu this guy, no one can watch him at all, as long as Allen is sandwiched, one of these two people must be empty, so someone will definitely score.

"Huh!"

Duff shook off the defender with a counterrun, accelerated to the outside of the three-point line, received a pass from his teammate, and pulled up for a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Duf's step-back shot didn't score, but Li Bai got the rebound and passed to Duf, who made a shooting feint, accelerated past the defender, and hit a pull-up jump shot.

In just a few minutes, Allen and Li Bai scored 20 points individually, leading the youth team to play a wave, rewriting the score to 80-86, and the youth team also lost to the Storm team by 6 points.

At this moment, there are 5 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, Coach Hu saw this situation and quickly called a timeout, and if it continues like this, the opponent will wipe out the lead that has been established with great difficulty, which is not what Coach Hu is happy to see.

Liming waited for the others, Coach Hu didn't blame them, the wave of attack of the youth team just now was too fierce, completely caught them off guard, fortunately Liming reacted, and constantly used his personal ability to score, although his strength is not big, but he can't stand the opponent's two people taking turns to hit the ball, so the score difference is getting smaller and smaller.

Coach Hu was not in a hurry, he first let the big guy breathe a sigh of relief, and then arranged the tactics, he asked Liming to keep an eye on that Allen, as long as Allen can't pass the ball out, then the youth team's offense will not be so smooth, so they will definitely not be able to score goals.

But Ah Zheng on the side still has some questions.

"Hu Da, what about that guy from Duff."

He pointed to Duff and said.

Coach Hu thought about it seriously, and in the end he still didn't change his plan, although Coach Hu knew that Duff was very strong, after all, he was also a player under Coach Hu, at that time, Duff was known as the first scorer of the entire Storm team, and scoring was as simple as probing the bag, especially when Li Bai was also present, the two combined inside and outside, one opened up the space to shoot alone, and the other took the opportunity to wreak havoc on the basket on the inside, and the two of them were double stars in the Storm team. First of all, he believes that Dawn can control the ball and not let the ball pass, so even if Duff is on the spot, he has no chance to take the ball and shoot, so there is no need to be afraid, but he is more afraid of Duff controlling the ball, Duff was not an ordinary player in the storm team before, he can also control the ball, although it is not very good, but it is enough to speed on this schedule.

After Coach Hu finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and everyone nodded in agreement.
