against the front

Chapter 13
On June 2008, 6, at 27 o'clock in the evening, the hotel where Yan Hua and others stayed, Bill Duffy, Yan Hua, Zhou Feng, and Long Sanfeng were all staring at the scene on the TV, the scene of EPSN The host is introducing one by one the rookies who are sitting in the room called the small green room. The rookies who can be invited to the draft are all the best rookies in this year. Yan Hua, who can sit in the hotel and watch the draft, is very envious of these "heavenly chosen ones".

Although this year is not a big draft year, there are still many talented rookies this year, such as Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, who are the top picks, in addition to OJ-Mayo, Brook Lopez , Danilo Gallinari, Eric Gordon and a group of outstanding rookies, so the player introductions before the draft are also stinky and long. Eighteen generations of each rookie's ancestors were dug out and introduced in detail to the audience in front of the TV.

As a professional agent, Bill Duffy is naturally very interested in these. Not only that, Bill Duffy is also asking these rookies recently, who does not have a professional agent, but other than Bill Duffy Several people wanted to fast-forward this paragraph directly, because what they cared about was whether Yan Hua could be selected, rather than watching the competition among these talented players.

"Yan, don't worry, Geoff has promised us that Sacramento will definitely choose you." After turning his head and seeing something wrong with Yan Hua's expression, Bill Duffy reiterated to Yan Hua again Kings general manager Geoff Petrie's commitment to him.

On the night when Yan Hua went to Sacramento for trial training, Geoff Petrie found Bill Duffy, hoping to reach an agreement with him. Geoff Petrie promised to use the No. 12 pick in the first round of the Kings. Yan Hua, but the condition is that Bill Duffy can no longer take Yan Hua to any rookie training camp for trial training. Bill Duffy, who is looking for a way to sell Yan Hua, agreed to Geoff- Petrie's request, and canceled all of Yan Hua's follow-up trial training plans, even Rockets general manager Darrell Morey's invitation to Yan Hua to go to Houston for the next round of trial training directly rejected, let Yan Hua directly stay In Sacramento, with the promise of the Kings, it is meaningless to go to the training camps of the other teams.

After the old lady's feet-binding rookie introduction, NBA Commissioner David Stern walked up to the podium, opened the first note, and announced that the Chicago Bulls selected the first pick from Memphis with the No. [-] pick in the first round. College guard Derrick Rose. "

After the Bulls selected Derrick Rose, the battle for the No. [-] pick between Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley came to an end. Without hesitation, he chose Michael Beasley, who is also the No. [-] pick with Rose.

After the contest for the No. [-] pick ended, there were some surprises in the next draft. The Timberwolves used the No. [-] pick in their hands to choose OJ Mayo, who the Grizzlies dreamed of, instead of Brook Lopez, who was predicted to be the No. [-] pick. As for The Thunder used the fourth pick to select Russell Westbrook, who was predicted to be around tenth.

After OJ Mayo was intercepted, the Grizzlies were in a difficult situation. They either gave up OJ Mayo and chose another rookie, or sought a deal with the Timberwolves, but the result of doing so would inevitably be slaughtered by the Timberwolves. It is sometimes such a sad reminder to expose the cards in advance. After repeated discussions for a long time, the Grizzlies finally used their No. [-] pick to choose Kevin Love, who was very interested in the Timberwolves. It must be done.

When the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies were planning how to maximize their benefits and pay less, the New York Knicks chose their favorite Danilo Gallinari as they wished, and the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks also According to their own predetermined plan, Eric Gordon and Joe Alexander were selected respectively.

After the results of the first eight rounds of the draft were released, the scene of the draft was immediately in an uproar, because before the start of the draft, Brook Lopez was predicted to be the third pick. Brook Lopez in the middle of the game is even more pale at the moment.

But Brook Lopez didn't wait long, and David Stern read his name. The New Jersey Nets selected him with the tenth overall pick in the first round. Walking to David Stern, Brook Lopez kept his face drooping the whole time, until after putting on the Nets baseball cap, he barely squeezed out a smile.

As the king's draft pick gets closer, Yan Hua's mood becomes more and more nervous. Although the king has promised Yan Hua before, he will definitely use the No. 12 pick to select Yan Hua, but before everything is settled , Yan Hua still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Soon, after the Indiana Pacers selected Jerry Bayless with the 11th pick, it was Sacramento's turn.

"The King of Sacramento chose with the 12th pick a center from Huaguo Shanghai Sports School... Yan Hua!" After David Stern finished reading the content on the note, he was stunned, and The managers in the audience were also in an uproar after hearing the king's choice, and at the same time they were asking each other, who is this Yan Hua from the Shanghai Sports School, who actually made the king choose him with the 12th pick? .

"Yan, congratulations!" In the hotel where Yan Hua and others stayed, Yan Hua and others, who were watching the live broadcast, shouted frantically after David Stern read Yan Hua's name Call, as for Bill Duffy as the manager, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and congratulated Yan Hua with a smile. After Bill Duffy, Zhou Feng and Long Sanfeng also Congratulations to Yan Hua one after another, congratulations to him for successfully stepping into the NBA.

"Thank you, Bill! I also thank you madman and deaf man, thank you for your hard work for me." Finally the dust settled, after confirming that the king chose him, the hanging stone in Yan Hua's heart finally fell to the ground Well, after the crazy celebration ended, Yan Hua expressed his gratitude to Bill Duffy, Zhou Feng, and Long Sanfeng, who were always by his side, who had been busy for him and made suggestions, and thanked them for this period of time. Help and companionship over time.

　Thank you Swen Ke Nangong for your reward, thank you.
