Chapter 11: The draft is over

At the end of the first round, naturally there was no Wang Dachun's name, and other teams didn't even know who Wang Dachun was, let alone choose him.

The closer he gets to the Mavericks' pick, the more nervous Wang Dachun becomes, although he got Nelson Jr.'s draft promise, but what if the Mavericks' group of people twitch their brains and don't pick themselves?

After Stern stepped down, another bald head came up, and Fleck told him that the bald head was Xiao Hua, the vice president of the league, and that he was responsible for announcing the second-round pick.

Seeing that Wang Dachun was nervous, Frank relieved him not to be nervous, it doesn't matter if he can't be selected, so many people around the world are running here, a total of 60 people will be selected, and these 60 people may not everyone be able to sign a contract with the team, and it is useless to be nervous.

Wang Dachun asked in surprise:

"Doesn't it have to be signed if you are chosen?"

"Yes! Don't you know? ”

Wang Dachun scolded in his heart, I know a ball!

Xiao Hua on stage has already begun to announce the second round.

…………

With the 35th pick, the Los Angeles Clippers chose a 211-centimeter-tall center from the University of Texas - DeAndrew. Jordan.

With the 45th pick, the San Antonio Spurs selected from .............

With the 50th pick, the Seattle SuperSonics chose to come from .............

With the 51st pick, the Dallas Mavericks chose a 215-centimeter-tall center from China - Wang Dachun.

"Oh my God, man! You've been chosen! You've really been chosen! ”

Frank next to him jumped up excitedly and hugged Wang Dachun and shouted.

Wang Dachun came back to his senses at this time, he had been thinking about the problem of not necessarily being able to sign a contract if he was selected, and suddenly heard that he had been selected, and he trembled with excitement.

Frank pushed him to hurry up to the stage, Wang Dachun stiffly walked to the draft table and picked up the Mavericks' hat and buckled it on his head.

came to the stage and shook hands with the bald Xiao Hua and hugged him, but he didn't know what the other party said, he just nodded and smirked and walked off the stage and came to the interview area.

At this time, Frank also came to his side, many microphones asked him questions, Wang Dachun was still confused, Frank saw him standing stupidly, and quickly answered the question for him.

One of the Chinese reporters asked him in Chinese if he could be interviewed individually, and Wang Dachun came back to his senses at this time, seeing that it was Chinese who nodded and said yes.

Gu Yao is an intern reporter for Hupu.com, and because no Chinese players were found to participate in this year's draft, the editor-in-chief only sent him and a photographer to the United States for some routine interviews and reports.

Towards the end of the elective, they were already packing up their things and preparing to get up and leave, and when they were about to leave, they suddenly heard Xiao Hua on the stage pronounce a name of China and China.

Only then did I see an Asian walk to the draft table and find a big man, who should be the Chinese he just read, was selected by the Mavericks.

How is this possible? This year, there is a national talent show that I don't know at all! And the name Wang Dachun is very unfamiliar, and he has no impression in the domestic basketball world, he has made such a big mistake, and he doesn't know that there is such a person.

Hurriedly sorted out his interview equipment, and when he came to the interview area, many people were interviewing Wang Dachun.

Although it is said that he was selected at the end of the second round, the sudden appearance of this big Chinese man is also a big news for these reporters. Inside the hands of the reporters interviewed. Most have a draft prediction table. And they didn't see this Chinese on the table, and they were somewhat curious.

After Gu Yao got permission to interview alone, he waited quietly beside him. After Wang Dachun was briefly interviewed, he came to the position next to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao adjusted slightly. Start the interview with an OK gesture to the photographer:

"Hello Wang Dachun, first of all, congratulations very much on being selected by the Mavericks."

In fact, Gu Yao also looked back at the electronic display board in the hall just now, showing Wang Dachun's name and the team that chose him.

"Thanks, I didn't expect to be selected."

Wang Dachun answered honestly, because he knew that he couldn't answer many questions normally, could it be that if I knew that I would be selected, then someone would definitely ask you how you knew that you would be selected .......

"I'm so sorry. Because we didn't predict that you would be selected, we know very little about you, and we don't know which team you play for in your country? ”

"Well, I didn't play for a domestic team."

"Not at home, is it abroad? What level of league is it? ”

Wang Dachun didn't know how to answer, so he could only say half-truthfully:

"I used to play football, I was a goalkeeper, and I switched to basketball because I was too tall."

Gu Yao had such an expression, no wonder she didn't know, she used to be a football player, and she didn't think much about it, and she didn't want to ask football questions as a basketball reporter.

"You weren't spotted in this year's joint tryout, so what's the delay? And you were drafted by the Dallas Mavericks, did you accept an offer to try out with them? ”

Wang Dachun muttered in his heart, he didn't know what joint training was before, and when he came to the United States, the joint training seemed to be over, but he still replied:

"Well, yes, I didn't get to the U.S. in time for a joint tryout because of some things, but I got an offer from the Dallas Mavericks to practice."

Wang Dachun asked a little questions about the lack of water, and the interview ended.

After saying goodbye to Gu Yao. Walking out with Frank, he happened to run into Nelson Jr. and his party.

Little Nelson greeted Wang Dachun with a smile, and then said:

"Boy, oh, should I say sir. Congratulations on becoming a part of the Mavericks. ”

Wang Dachun also replied with a little excitement:

"Thank you sir, thank you very much for choosing me, I will definitely play hard."

"Wang, you don't need to be polite, I just happened to introduce you to this person."

As he spoke, Little Nelson pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said:

"This is your manager this season, Rick. Carlisle. ”

Wang Dachun hurriedly greeted the head coach, but Coach Rick just nodded politely and did not mean to talk to Wang Dachun.

After chatting with Wang Dachun, Nelson Jr. encouraged and praised Wang Dachun's English for making great progress, and told him before leaving that the Mavericks staff would soon contact him and tell him what to do next.

On the second day of the draft, Wang Dachun received a call from the Dallas staff, asking him to report to the team by July 10, because he was likely to participate in this year's Summer League in the Rocky Mountains.

Wang Dachun was not good when he heard the news, wouldn't he? I'm going to play just after I was chosen! That's too fast, isn't it?
