I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 12 The Confused Wang Family

The store run by Wang Wanwan is not large, not even a small supermarket, with an area of ​​less than 20 square meters.Those tobacco and alcohol, snacks, non-staple food and other things are just a small grocery store.

Today happened to be Wednesday, which is the day he buys goods every week. He said hello to Lao Fang, who owns a fruit shop next door, and asked him to take a look at the store, and he went to buy.

The wholesale market where the goods are purchased is not far away, and the order form has already been booked by phone, and you can just pick up the goods when you arrive, and you can come back in less than an hour.

Driving my own three-wheeler, the phone rang suddenly on the way back. It seemed that it was Lao Fang who called, but I didn’t know that when Lao Fang called him at this time, it was usually because he didn’t know the prices of the goods in the store. Ask him on the phone.

After picking up the phone, he asked:
"What's the matter? I'll be right back, already on my way."

The old Fang's voice was a bit noisy, as if he was covering the microphone and talking:

"Oh, Lao Wang, come back quickly, something happened at your house, and many reporters have come."

"What? To the reporter?"

What can happen at home?Is it on fire?There is no one at home today!My wife went to work in the morning, and my daughter was still at school!
After hanging up the phone, I rushed home. After about ten minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the store and saw many people leaving the entrance of the store.Several people were holding microphones and carrying cameras, discussing something, and it seemed that there were people like them rushing here.

A neighbor yelled,

"The old king is back!"

Pharaoh, who hadn't gotten out of the car, was regarded as being in the middle by a group of long guns and short guns, and asked miscellaneous questions.

Lao Wang was forced, what's going on?He has never seen such a battle, what's going on, what happened to our family?

At this time, a slightly older reporter.Let everyone be quiet a little bit, and say to Old Wang:
"Mr. Wang, what do you think about your son being selected by the Mavericks in the NBA draft this year?"

Other journalists agree that we are asking these questions.

"What? What draft?"

Could it be his eldest son?Good graduate students don’t study, go to the TV station to participate in some talent show?

Wang Wanwan thought that the drafts that the reporters were talking about were the singing and dancing talent shows held by TV stations, but he didn't understand what the NBA draft was!
The reporters saw Wang Wanwan's bewildered expression, as if he didn't know anything, and asked:

"Didn't your son tell you? Didn't he tell you such a big thing?
Wang Wanwan still shook his head, he still didn't understand what the reporters were talking about:
"I really don't know what kind of draft you are, please let me go, I will call my son first when I go back!"

Then he squeezed out the crowd and returned home, picked up the phone and called his eldest son, Wang Dayong, who was studying in graduate school.

"Dad? What's the matter? I'm about to go to class, why did you call suddenly!"

Wang Dadong's impression is that the phone calls at home are usually at night, and he seldom calls during the day, for fear of affecting his class.

"What's the matter! It's not a good thing you did. What talent show did you participate in, and you couldn't learn well, so you made some messy things. The reporters all ran to the house, and they almost blocked the door just now!
In his impression of the eldest son, he has never worried about studying, but sometimes he is very interested in playing.These came to the door, it must be because of the boss!He didn't think about the possibility that he was talking about Wang Dachun.

Besides, Wang Dachun had just left the country, so he didn't think that Wang Dachun could do anything earth-shattering abroad.

Wang Dadong here is also confused, what kind of draft?He's been pretty good all this time, isn't he?Nothing out of the ordinary!

"Dad! What are you talking about? Why can't I understand? I didn't participate in any talent show? I have a heavy class these days, and I don't have enough time for study. How can I have time to care about other things? !"

"Really not you?"

"Dad, it's really not me. What kind of draft is it called?"

Wang Wanwan thought:
"It seems to be called NBB or NAB?"

"Is it called the NBA?"

Wang Dadong asked not sure.

"That's right, it's called the NBA! What kind of school is this?"

"Dad, this is not a school. This is the abbreviation of the American Basketball Professional League, which plays basketball. Dad, it can't be Spring, right?"

"Huh? Impossible! Dachun has only been to the United States for more than a month. He is going to learn basketball, how could he play in some professional league in the past?"

"Well. Dad, then wait a moment, I'll go out and find a computer to check, and you can also call Dachun to ask."

When Wang Wanwan called Wang Dachun.Wang Dachun was sleeping over there, and it was midnight here.After the phone woke him up, his father brought it over at first.

He just got back from New York today.Originally, I wanted to come back immediately after the draft.But I couldn't stand Frank's invitation, and I didn't come back after playing in New York for two days.

Seeing that it was my father who made a call, I immediately answered it.Usually, Wang Dachun calls his family once a week, and his father suddenly called at this time, he was sleepy and asked:
"Dad, why are you calling at this hour? What's the matter?"

At this time, Wang Wanwan still cared about what time Wang Dachun was, so he asked quickly:

"Did you participate in any draft?"

Wang Dachun suddenly came to his senses, and then he came to his senses. How did Dad know about his participation in the draft?There is news so soon in China?
"Dad, how do you know this?"

"How do I know! There are a lot of reporters at home, how can I not know? It's really you, what's going on?
Wang Dachun did not reply for a long time, and Wang Wanwan was very angry:

"Hmm, what the hell is going on? Aren't you going to learn basketball? Why are you going to participate in some league? Tell me!"

Wang Dachun didn't think about what to say for a long time, thinking about how to tell his father.The family members now know that he didn't even think about the reason.

Wang Dachun had an idea and said:

"Dad, it's like this. Didn't I stay in school for a month after I came here? The school here thinks that I am very good at playing basketball, saying that I have reached a very professional level and that I am very talented. If I continue to stay in school, It was tantamount to wasting my talent and suggested that I go to the NBA draft. I didn’t take it seriously, so I signed up and didn’t care about it. I didn’t expect to be selected.”

"Oh, that's the case! Then why don't you tell your family about this.

Wang Dachun's father believed it and quickly replied:
"I didn't take it seriously, I didn't think of it at all, and you don't know, although I was selected, but I was selected in the last few, which is the same as the last few in the exam. I was selected. People don't necessarily want me."

"Oh, you mean you were chosen, but you may not be able to go, right?"
