The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 280 Xiao Jia's Surprise!Celtics move!

As the sun rose slowly over the horizon of the Mediterranean Sea, 22-year-old Marc Gasol was still asleep in the house.

In this year's draft, he is actually eligible to go to Madison Square to participate.

But before that, he has not paid much attention to the situation of the draft.

It's not because he's not interested in the NBA, in fact, that's his dream since childhood.

It's just that, as a professional player in the Spanish League, he cannot participate in any NBA team's trial training.

Except for his brother, who is the famous Pau Gasol, he is completely unknown in this strange country, and he is a completely transparent existence.

Coupled with the mediocre 10+5 data in the league last season, Gasol himself doesn't think any team will choose him to play in the NBA.

Until his agent called and told him that the Spurs were strongly considering taking him to the Holy City with the No. 28 pick.

There's Duncan, there's Parker, there's Ginobili!
They love international players!

From this moment on, Gasol's inner desire to compete also emerged.

He began to exercise hard, lost a lot of fat in a short period of time, and the muscle lines on his arms were also looming.

He is ready for everything and waiting for the call from the NBA.

Until the draft, the Spurs used this pick to select another international player, center Tiago Splitter from Brazil.

There is actually no problem with this choice, because Splitter is also in the Spanish league today and has performed better than him.

The Brazilian has long arms, good jumping, flexible feet, skilled offensive skills and excellent defense and rebounding. He participated in international competitions with the Brazilian national team very early and has rich experience in competitions. It can be said that he has both star potential and a blue-collar attitude.

The Spurs didn't expect that this high-quality seedling would fall to the 28th pick, so they picked him without the slightest hesitation.

Compared with the "little fat man" with obvious shortcomings and unrefined, the more mature Split is undoubtedly a better choice.

"Cheating" may not be mentioned, but the Spurs' inadvertent negligence still changed the mentality of this slightly chubby Spanish kid.

He opened the wine bottle on the table.

After every draft result, he will have a drink.

From Carl Landry in the second round, to Marcus Williams, Josh McRoberts...

When the agent called and said that the Lakers might choose him with the 40th pick, Gasol, who was already a little groggy, was almost drunk.

But this does not hinder, he saw that the Lakers chose a Chinese face.

"Who the hell is this? Huaxia's Magician Johnson?"

Soon, Gasol fell asleep and fell unconscious.

until the next morning.

"boom!"

The door was pushed open at once.

Pau Gasol, Navarro and others filed in with joy on their faces.

"Mark, wake up Mark! You're going to the NBA!"

"Aha?"

"It's the Warriors! Golden State Warriors!"

"It's Dragon and Old Nelson's team, congratulations, my brother!"

Dajia and Navarro laughed, they knew that Gasol Jr. was a loyal Warriors fan.

……

After the draft, Zhang Bolong walked out of the theater alone.

If he knew that Xiaojia in this life would start losing weight and gaining muscle early for the draft, he would probably have to thank the Spurs.

This was a big surprise for him.

Senior brother Mu Lin slipped a step ahead in order to avoid being caught in a tight siege, and walking with him was as eye-catching as a firefly flapping its wings in the dark night.

As soon as Zhang Bolong stepped out of the theater gate, a group of media including Huaxia reporters outside the theater surrounded him in a swarm.

They have been waiting for a long time, just to get first-hand news reports.

"Hello Long Shuai, in the draft just now, Ah Lian and Sun Yue were selected by the Bucks and Lakers respectively. Do you want to say something to them?"

"They are the pride of Huaxia basketball, bless them, I hope they will have a successful NBA career."

"We all know that you have a deep relationship with the Lakers, so what experience do you want to pass on to Sun Yue?"

"I hope Sun Yue will give Kobe some face during training, and don't always beat him up, after all, he is my little brother."

The reporter was dumbfounded for a while: "Uh, hehe, it seems that you and Kobe have a really good relationship, so what does Long Shuai have to say to Ah Lian?"

"We will communicate well in private. He has also come to train with me before. I believe he can quickly adapt to the rhythm here."

On the other side, Houston's Dayao was even more accommodating.

"Will you take care of the two little brothers when you are competing in the same field?" the reporter asked.

Yao Ming was also amused: "Ask Xiaolong if I let him. I remember I scored more than 30 points, 15 or 16 rebounds? Hahaha!"

After the signature smile, Dayao seriously replied: "Of course not. As long as we are on the court, we will go all out. After all, we are each master. When I think about the court, we hope to dunk on each other's heads. Not to mention in this kind of arena, we will play seriously even when the national team is training."

"Speaking of the national team, many people in China are looking forward to seeing a full-fledged Huaxia team appear on the field, but neither you nor Long Shuai will participate in the training match with NBA teams later on. , so when will everyone see you playing together?"

Yao Ming nodded. This is a more meaningful question.

"This is what Xiaolong and I have been looking forward to. It is hard to say when we will participate in the competition, because Chairman Lan also requires the national team not to recall us players who participated in the NBA in some training matches and friendly matches. But I can assure you that, At the Yanjing Olympic Games next year, Xiaolong and I will definitely wear the jerseys of the national team and fight for our motherland."

……

After answering the questions from the Huaxia reporters, Zhang Bolong began to deal with the media of the Beacon Country.

They don't care about Ah Lian and Sun Yue. The questions are all about the rookies of the Warriors.

"Marco, Carl and Mark are all very good players and I believe their arrival will be a good addition to us..."

"I'm not worried about Mark's contract. In fact, Chris is negotiating with the Girona club. I'm sure the team needs him now..."

"Okay, friends, I'm just a player... You can go to Chris Mullin for questions about the team, he is the general manager..."

After finally getting rid of the group of long guns and short guns, Zhang Bolong secretly cursed Mu Lin, who would be lazy and save trouble, while driving back to the hotel where he stayed in New York.

As soon as I took out my mobile phone in the room, a piece of news came into view:

"Draft Night Blockbuster!Pierce teamed up with Ray Allen, the Celtics want to revive with two guns! "
