After having dinner with Jeff Colvin, Jimmy Adams and Jonny left Los Angeles and they each went back to their hometowns, Jonny went back to Lockwood and Jimmy Adams went back to Indiana.

Originally, Jimmy Adams wanted to take Jonny to New York for a tryout, but when Jonny heard that the Knicks had signed a 10 million contract with Alan Houston, Jonny immediately dismissed the idea of going to the Knicks for a tryout.

After returning to Lockwood, Jonny practiced on the street court 10 kilometers away from home every day, and Meghan, a little girl who was not too familiar with him, quickly became familiar with Jonny, she once again stopped Jonny who was going downstairs to play, and then went to practice with Jonny.

It's just Jonny practicing, she watches Jonny practicing, like a couple of lovers, Jonny thinks so, but every time a cough rings in his head: What are you thinking? What a beast! Because little Megan is only 10 years old at this time, although her body has grown a little.

While Jonny was training to the fullest, several big things were happening in the league.

On June 6, 1996, while Johnny was still in Chicago, the Nets made a signing, signing NCAA coach Calyparry on a five-year contract.

On June 13, 1996, while Jonny was still on a lonely tryout in San Antonio, the Indiana Pacers announced that they were sending Mark Jackson, Rich Pierce and a first-round pick to Denver in exchange for Jalen Rose, Reggie Williams and a No. 10 pick who later drafted Eric Dampier.

On June 20, 1996, the Bulls announced that they had signed a new contract with Phil Jackson for a new year of $250w, and at this time, Jonny was watching the group stage of the European Championship with Meghan in his hometown, and played Spain in Italy at Old Trafford, and the game ended in a draw.

After watching this unfinished game, Jonny sat on the sofa and discussed with Meghan with great interest.

"Megan, I didn't expect you to be a football fan too!"

"Of course, I'm also a basketball fan, Brother Jonny, I love watching you play basketball!" Megan raised her white neck and looked at Johnny with some adoration.

"Haha, let's continue to watch in a few days! Let's see, the quarterfinals will be on the 22nd! Jonny flipped through the newspaper and said.

"On the 22nd, Brother Jonny, what about the finals?" Megan said expectantly.

"Well, I'll see, the finals won't be until the 30th!" Jonny said as he flipped through the newspaper again.

"Then let's watch the finals together, I like to watch the finals the most!"

"I'm afraid not, Meghan, I'm going to New York, I'm going to the NBA draft."

Megan was a little disappointed, but she immediately raised an innocent smile and looked at Jonny: "Well, I hope Jonny's brother is the first to be chosen!" ”

Jonny is training and living a fulfilling life in his hometown, but in Boston before the draft, there is a man who is struggling.

As the old man of the Celtics, Michael Lyon-Carr now serves as the general manager of the Celtics and also serves as the head coach, and his task is to swing badly, and last season the Celtics played badly in order to get Duncan from Wake Forest, and Duncan did not participate in this year's draft, so next season, the Celtics will continue to play badly.

However, at this time, Carl's concern is not for the sake of rottenness, but for this year's draft, this year's draft, the Celtics got the sixth pick in the first round, and he is now hesitating between the two players.

Anthony Walker? Or Kobe Bryant? He's a little hesitant, Kobe Bryant and Anthony Walker have both tried out in Boston before, and their performances have been very satisfying to Carl, but the draft is about to start and he has to make a choice.

Carl thought about it, he suddenly thought of that Asian kid, it seems that that guy is not bad, maybe not as good as Kobe Bryant, but not much worse, maybe we can take two good players at the same time! Carl thought, and he made up his mind.

If Kobe Bryant is chosen, Jonny and Kobe's positions overlap, so Karl's final decision is to use the sixth pick to select Anthony Walker, and then use the second-round pick to select Jonny, so that it is complete, plus next year's Tim Duncan Carr can't help but think about it.

The 1996 draft will be held in New York on June 26, and Jonny, who returned to his hometown of Lockwood, found that he had no money to let him go to New York to participate in the on-site draft, and his bank balance was already pitiful.

In the end, Jonny had to watch live TV in the small town of Lockwood to find out what was going on in the draft. Jonny was a little disappointed, he still wanted to go and see it.

But now it's okay, before little Meghan heard from Jonny that they couldn't watch the finals together, there was disappointment in her eyes, and Jonny naturally saw it, but now, they can watch the finals together again. Jonny hurriedly ran downstairs and knocked on Meghan's door.

"Megan, Megan, good news for you!"

Little Megan, who had just woken up from a nap, opened the door with sleepy eyes, and at this moment, Jonny was stunned, so that Jonny had to sigh: This chick will definitely be a disaster level beauty in the future.

"Good news, Brother Jonny."

Just as Jonny was about to speak, Jonny's flip phone rang again.

"Hey, Jimmy, what's the matter?" This is a call from Jimmy Adams.

"Of course there's something, there's going to be a draft in two days, and your kid won't go to New York?"

"New York?" Jonny was about to say he had no money left.

"Of course, you kid hurry up, my plane ticket and everything are ready, let's witness that historic scene!"

Jonny moved his lips, he wanted to refuse, but he thought about the ridicule that Jimmy Adams had received at the University of Tennessee and the disdain he had received in Los Angeles, Jonny clenched his phone and said with some determination, "Okay." ”

Then Jonny, who hung up the phone, forced a smile and said to Meghan: "Meghan, you know, I'm going to participate in the draft, I just got the news that the Spurs are going to draft me!" ”

"Really! That's great! The heartfelt smile on Meghan's face made Jonny secretly make up his mind that he must rush back to accompany Meghan to watch the European Championship final no matter what.

The draft was held on the 26th, and the final held on the 30th, as long as Jonny moved fast enough, he could still rush back.
