NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 72

While Chen Xiao was talking eloquently in front of the media, the draft was also going on normally.

The second pick did not change because of Thomas Robinson's resentment and resentment. Like Chen Xiao, who bought the Ban spot at the second place in the forecast list, the thick eyebrows were decisively won by the New Orleans Hornets.

Unlike Chen Xiao who was alone and brought a manager, relatives and friends gathered around the table with thick eyebrows. After hugging one by one, thick eyebrows were selected on stage, announcing that the only "closed eyes selection non-blind box" this year has been sold out.

With the third pick, the Wizards chose Bradley Beal after some hesitation between McGee and Bill.

With the fourth pick, the Cavaliers who need a swingman took away the rest of the Wizards. I wish McGee good luck in Cleveland.

With the fifth pick, the Kings selected Thomas Robinson.

With the sixth pick, the Blazers picked Lillard with the pick from the Nets.

With the seventh pick, the Warriors chose Barnes.

……

At the tenth pick, the Hornets used the pick from the Clippers in the Paul trade to select Chen Xiao's teammate Rivers Jr.

With the No.11 pick, after favorite guards Rivers and Rose were intercepted one after another, the Blazers selected center Meyers Leonard.

With the No.12 pick, Mosaic used the pick exchanged with the Bucks 3 days ago to select Syracuse sharpshooter Dion Waiters.

……

The No.20 sixth overall pick, the new Pacers president Kevin Pritchard, who just took over Bird's resignation due to health reasons two days ago, selected Chen Xiao's teammate Miles Plumlee.

……

The first round of lottery ended, President Stern, who reported [-] picks in a row, went off, and Xiao Hua took the stage to preside over the second round of the draft.

At this time, Chen Xiao had also finished the interview and had nothing to do for a while. He was invited by Jordan to visit the Bobcats draft war room.

At the time of the gap between the two rounds, Jordan, as the boss, obviously did not follow the principle of professional people doing professional things, and even put aside the yelling and yelling.

I'm about to submit the 31st overall selection list, and I haven't decided whether I want Jeff Taylor, Jay Crowder, or Khris Middleton.

The second round champion is the real champion, and it is much more difficult to choose than Chen Xiao, the fake champion.

Let Chen Xiao choose, and choose with your eyes closed. By the way, which one of you chooses Taylor and Claude?
In the war room, in front of so many colleagues and subordinates, Chen Xiao must take care of me, God Qiao.

He gave Schwartz a look, and Schwartz understood it, and talked about the importance of matching the puzzle for the cornerstone, and it really doesn't matter if it's only a second-round pick.

Jordan thought about it too, and decided to sell Chen Xiao to show his respect for the core of the team.

"Chen, which of these three people do you think is more suitable?" Jordan still kept his cigars in his hands, and while talking, he motioned for Chen Xiao to pick up the cigars on his table.

Chen Xiao shook his head and refused.

"Try it, Partagas Lusitania, you will fall in love with it." After choosing Chen Xiao, Jordan still has a self-confident expression.

Holding the cigar in his big hand, he talked and laughed happily, acting like a big boss.

"Mike, it is your victory to choose me as the first pick, and you can enjoy this giant crown cigar comfortably.

But the victory cigar wasn't ready to light until I had a victory at the NBA level. "Chen Xiao lightly tapped the cigar box, stared at Danzi who was puffing, and calmly said such Bird-like forced words.

"OK, I'm waiting for this day. The Bobcats will enter the playoffs next season. My treasures are open to you at any time." Jordan smiled, took off the cigar in his mouth, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

The traffic is full, and the bold words just spoken have already been heard by the boss.

Seeing the two pretending to be high on each other, Chu Lik, who had already received the urging from the alliance, could only interrupt.

"Who, Chen, it's up to you." Jordan asked.

You did this earlier, Danzi, you wouldn't have ended up in such a "end" all these years.

"Chris, I like him." Chen Xiao chose Chris.

……

Xiao Hua walked up to the stage with the first envelope in the second round, and loudly announced the first pick in the second round, the total 31st pick, the Bobcats' second pick in this draft.

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats selected with the 31st overall pick - Khris Middleton from Texas A&M University."

……

With the No.30 fifth overall pick, the Warriors chose Draymond Green.

……

With the ninth overall pick, the Spurs selected Seth Curry.

……

Seth Curry, who was at the end of the second round, naturally did not go to New York to participate in the draft, but watched ESPN's live broadcast at the old Curry's home in Charlotte.

When he heard that the San Antonio Spurs chose him, Seth Curry, who was ecstatic in his heart, jumped up from the sofa. Although he was the second-to-last pick, his NBA dream finally came true.

Old Curry was relieved to hear Seth's name being reported. His eldest son Stephen entered the NBA with the 7th overall pick. Compared to his older brother, his second son, Seth, was also selected successfully.A family of three father and son are now NBA players.

After being reimbursed for the season, he returned to Charlotte for surgery, and his brother Stephen Curry, who has been recuperating in Golden State, came back from Golden State today for a reunion. He was also watching from the sidelines. After seeing Seth being selected, he laughed heartily. When he hugged his younger brother, he encouraged Seth and said, "I knew you could do it when I was a kid in the backyard."

After the ecstasy subsided, it was already late at night, but the family obviously couldn't sleep right away.

The eldest son Stephen rarely came back, and the old Curry, who had been paying attention to him, naturally discussed the topic of being in the NBA with him.

The first thing to pay attention to is naturally Stephen's ankle injury. This injury has plagued Stephen Curry for 7 or 8 months. Curry, who has been plagued by injuries this season, only played 26 games.

The elder Curry, like most people, believes that Curry's injuries are mainly caused by insufficient ankle strength.

"No, I'm working on my glutes and glutes, my balance and my core. Kirk, our director of athletic performance, taught me this approach."

"I hope you get rid of your injury soon, my child." Kuma prayed for her son.

"Let's talk about contract renewal. It's been 2 months, and the Warriors still haven't decided to renew your contract in advance?" Old Curry asked.

"Yes, they have some concerns. Jeff is still talking to Miles who just took office." Curry shrugged, expressing helplessness.

Agent Jeff Austin is a good friend of the old Curry. Hearing this, the old Curry nodded and stopped asking.

Leaving aside the topic of injuries and contract renewals, the Curry family talked about Chen Xiao, the new champion of the local team and Seth's good brother.

Apart from what Seth said, with Chen Xiao here, the playoffs are like getting something out of a bag, and it's easy.

Everyone else expressed that they were not very optimistic, and the old Curry, who was almost a Charlotte native, also took a cautious wait-and-see attitude.
