Chapter Seventy-Three: An Unexpected Surprise

In a time of unease, Derrick Rose thanked his family, his coach, and the Bulls' uniform team for their trust from the podium, saying he would lead the Bulls to new glory.

His tone trembled a little, and he was so nervous that he couldn't say the lines that had already been prepared.

After speaking intermittently and incoherently, he quickly stepped off the stage and walked to the ESPN live broadcast room on the other side for an exclusive interview.

And David Stern also hurriedly stepped down.

Footage of Derrick Rose's interview soon appeared on the big screen, which was broadcast live and was also broadcast to 203 countries around the world.

Obviously, Derrick Rose was very nervous and very restrained when he accepted the interview. When asked, the answer is short and dry. It left everyone with the impression that this champion was very shy.

With David Stern on the court again, the live broadcast room ended the interview with Derrick Rose.

David Stern kept his pace of speech and read out Miami's choice in a calm tone: "Michael Beasley!!" ”

There was no doubt about the result, everyone thought that he and Rose had booked a place in the top two, and now that Rose was the champion, he was the natural second.

Beasley took the hat of the Heat, dragged him onto the stage, shook hands with David Stern, and announced directly: "I will lead the Heat back to the Finals!" Wait! ”

The guy's arrogance quickly impressed everyone, but it also sparked a flood of applause from the audience.

Since Iverson, there has been a growing tolerance for individual players, and they even take the initiative to praise players with personality.

Beasley is clearly like that.

After he got off the stage, he walked into the live broadcast room, and he also looked like he was dragging 2580,000. He seems to have seen himself as the leader of the Heat, with a posture to lead Miami to a better tomorrow.

The next third pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves did not hesitate to choose OJ Mayo. O.J. Mayo is arguably the first player to become famous in this class of rookies, and in his high school years, he was already nationally known as the second James. However, God doesn't seem to be particularly fond of him, and after high school, his height has never grown, and his defensive flaws are gradually revealed. That's why he fell to third place, otherwise... With his high school momentum, the champion doesn't have Ross and Beasley's share.

With the fourth pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected Russell Westbrook from UCLA, which was a calculated pick. Although the fans still thought that Westbrook was a little bit higher, they also gave applause and cheers.

With the fifth pick, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Kevin Loew. It's a UCLA player again.

Two UCLA players were drafted in a row, which allowed ESPN's cameras to give three or four close-ups of Ben Holland at the dashing table. This made Holland very happy, he felt that it was a long face, and he waved at the camera. Then, he also pointed to Xiao Shi, and then extended his thumb.

Although, Holland didn't like Xiao Xiao at first, but as the misunderstanding was cleared up, Xiao Xiao continued to show his talent. In his mind, Xiao Dash has even surpassed Westbrook to become a talented player he values. In fact, in his subconscious, he also thought that Xiao Swan's talent was to surpass Westbrook. Therefore, he repeatedly persuaded Xiao Shi not to participate in this year's draft, and to log in to the NBA after playing in UCLA for another year of college, and then the pick will definitely be better than this year.

Holland's thumb made Chatford in the live broadcast room introduce Xiao Dash again: "The player Holland is pointing to is Xiao Shaw from China, he is a talented guy, he has only been through basketball training for three months, oh no, it's four months now." According to rumors, he has already received a lotto promise. I believe that if he has been on the right path, he deserves this signing. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Kevin Lefou, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, took over the conversation and said: "That's the case, when I first met Xiao, he couldn't even dribble the ball. After a month, he could pass everyone on the Bruins, including Westbrook, at will. And, you may not believe it, it only took him one day to learn to dribble and only one day to learn to shoot. Later, he was the best person in the entire UCLA basic skills. So, if you ask me if Xiao is worth a lotto spot, my answer is yes. Although he may still be a little lacking in strength and has many shortcomings in terms of technique, this does not prevent the fact that he is a genius. Also, I want to say that if Shaw had been playing basketball since he was a teenager like us, I swear it wouldn't be Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley this year. ”

Kevin Love's words spread during the live broadcast, which immediately caused a commotion throughout the scene, and everyone was shocked by what Kevin Love said. If what he says is true, then... This guy is really worth gambling on with a lotto show. It doesn't matter if you lose the bet, anyway, there will be a few parallel goods every year. But if the bet is right, it is an epoch-making draft achievement.

Therefore, in the draft office of the Clippers, there was a solemn feeling all of a sudden, and everyone's expressions became firm.

And at this time, David Stern stepped up to the podium, and he announced the Milwaukee Bucks' selection: "Joe Alexander. ”

As soon as the name came out, Madison Garden immediately resounded with boos.

Although this is New York, fans still feel that this choice is too blind. Alexander doesn't have the strength of the No. 6 pick at all, so why did he choose? Is it because he was born in Taiwan, grew up in Beijing, and has a Chinese background? Last year, you chose Yi, and this year there is a Chinese boy, is it appropriate to kneel and lick the Chinese market like this?

Alexander was very embarrassed by the boos from the fans, and he kept an awkward smile on stage, and after thanking his loved ones and the Bucks for their selection, he went to the live broadcast room for an interview.

In the live broadcast room, Simmons really asked him about China.

This made the boos in the audience even louder, and at the same time made Alexander even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, David Stern's immediate arrival on stage relieved his pressure.

When all eyes were on David Stern, David Stern opened his envelope, and then his expression was visibly surprised, and this surprise was immediately captured by the camera.

In an instant, it created a different sense of expectation for the fans watching the big screen. They wanted to see who the Clippers were chosen, and David Stern was so surprised.

Soon, David Stern still read out the Los Angeles option in a calm tone: "The Clippers chose ...... Scoring guard from China, chic!! ”

When the name is pronounced.

The whole scene suddenly fell silent, and after three or four seconds, the whole of Madison rang out with a boo that could almost lift the ceiling.

They couldn't accept this choice, and they actually gave the Chinese a lotto show. Last year's Yi Jianlian had already proved that there was only one Yao Ming in China, and there could be no replication. As a result, this year, the Bucks still knelt and licked China, but the Clippers immediately followed up and refreshed the lower limit of kneeling and licking, and they actually chose a Chinese shooting guard who had only practiced basketball for four months to be their No. 7 pick.

My God! Did the Clippers' uniform crew get all their brains kicked by a donkey?

In the boos of the audience, Xiao Xiao's head went blank, and this surprise could even be called frightened. He originally thought that he was about the twentyth pick, but he didn't expect that the fake news he deliberately released turned out to be true news, and it was carried out by his least favorite team.

Oh, my God!

This is too wrong, isn't it?

Xiao Sa's head was blank, and the relatives and friends around him also had similar expressions, and they couldn't believe that the Clippers chose Xiao Sage with the most precious No. 7 pick, which was too unreasonable.

Only Byron Davis remained awake because he was the only one who knew the decision in advance.

So, he patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder, then picked up the Clippers hat from the table and put it on Xiao Xiao's head: "Go ahead! You deserve this pick! ”

Xiao Shao slowly got up and hugged John Wooden, Lenny Kuhn, Ben Holland, Barbara, Lee Chenglong, and Byron Davis one by one, and he tried to breathe two breaths to let his love sink down. In the midst of the boos in the sky, he took firm steps and walked to the rostrum step by step.

As he took a step, the blank space in his head had been swept away, and his previous tension had not been emptied.

Now, he only remembers one thing in his head: I am the No. 7 show, and I deserve the No. 7 show.

He walked up to the rostrum and shook hands with David Stern, who congratulated and politely thanked him.

Then he walked to the microphone, took a breath softly, and smiled lightly in the face of the boos of the whole stadium, and then he raised his eyebrows, and said with a very natural and relaxed expression: "Before I went on stage, I wanted to pinch my thigh to make sure I wasn't dreaming." But then I heard your boos, and it made me realize that this was indeed true and that I had heard my name correctly. ”

The chic speech was lighthearted and humorous.

This sentence slightly calmed the angry and restless feelings of the fans, and their boos were slightly quieter.

Xiao Shao continued: "I can understand you, if I stand among you and I see a guy who has only played basketball for four months suddenly become the No. 7 in the highest temple of basketball, I will be jealous, I will boo, I will be angry. But now I'm on stage, I'm myself, I'm the one being booed. I can't learn like you, I can't boo myself. Because... Even if the whole world abandons me, I have to believe in myself. ”

Xiao Shi said this, paused slightly, and the boos gradually subsided.

"Now, I'm the number seven show, and that's a fact that can't be changed. You can't change that, and neither can I. The only thing I can do next is to answer you with my efforts and my watch on the pitch whether I deserve this number seven signing! And whether your boos tonight are really right. ”

After Xiao said this, he smiled and looked around at the whole of Maddison, he was single-handedly taking on the momentum of all the fans, and he was not overpowered. Not to mention the submissiveness of the previous Alexander.

His backbone is straight, fearless and fearless.

By this point the boos had become a small spread, and Xiao continued: "Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Lenny, Mr. Ben Holland, Mr. Byron Davis, and Mr. John Wooden. The four of you are my guiding lights on my basketball path, and without you, I wouldn't be here to be the No. 7 pick. Thank you for helping me open up my basketball path, and I will continue to walk with determination and make you proud of me. ”

As he spoke, he bowed deeply again, then waved to the booing fans and strode off the stage.

There was no doubt that the slick speech was the most typhoon-bearing of any player up to tonight.

His voice did not tremble, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

Perhaps, he will really be an unexpected surprise!
