The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 11 Good News Bad News
Yuan Man is also very nervous. Although he has the "basketball talent" system, but because his experience in the NCAA is not outstanding, if the Heat break their promise and choose him, then even if he has McGrady's talent now, he will not be able to play in the NBA. Appeared on stage.

At the beginning of the second round, the New Jersey Nets, which had the No. [-] pick in the second round, chose German player Dibor Peles, but then traded to the Thunder.

Finally it was the Heat's turn, and this was the first time the Heat played in this draft.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Yuan Man seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, but he seemed to be unable to hear anything else.

At this moment, Yuan Man suddenly felt that his hand was being held tightly, and then saw his father Yuan Su who was sitting next to him looking at Yuan Man excitedly and saying something.

It was only at this moment that Yuan Man was able to hear the voice again.

"Son, you succeeded!" The father's voice was clearly imprinted in Yuan Man's ears.

"So" Yuan Man immediately looked at the big screen on the stage, which showed that the Miami Heat used the second pick in the second round, that is, the 32nd overall pick, and chose Yuan Man from the University of Miami!
Yuan Man embraced tightly with his father excitedly.Although it is only a second-round pick, Yuan Man knows that he has crossed the threshold of the NBA, and in the NBA, perhaps the sky is his limit.

Yuan Man can't wait to join forces with "The Flash" Wade!

After all, this was only a second-round draft pick. No one noticed this unremarkable young man. Only a few people paid a little attention to the Heat's selection of an Asian player.

After Yuan Man, the Kings, who played third in the second round, selected Hassan Whiteside of Marshall University.

The Knicks, who had two consecutive picks, selected Syracuse University shooting guard Andy Laudis, who played with Yuan Man in Chicago, and Stanford University small forward Landry Fields.

Then the Pacers selected University of Cincinnati shooting guard Lance Stephenson.

With the 41st and 42nd picks, the Heat selected center Dexter Pittman and power forward Jarvis Varnado from the University of Texas after selecting Yuan Man.

After the Milwaukee Bucks selected Keith Gallen from the University of Oklahoma with the 47th pick, the Heat also used the last of their four second-round picks to select Darcy, who participated in the Heat's solo workout. En Butler.

After the Phoenix Suns selected Yuan Man's team star Dwayne Collins with the 60th overall pick, the entire draft ended successfully.

Dewayne Collins didn't believe anything, his teammate Yuan Man, the guy he ridiculed as a little guy, was actually selected by the Heat, and even got a higher pick than himself!

Jealousy and depression were intertwined, and Collins made up his mind that when the two met in the NBA, they must give Yuan Man some color.

As an Asian player, Yuan Man of the University of Miami was selected and received a lot of attention from the American media after the draft.When interviewed by media reporters, the excited Yuan Man still maintained a modest attitude and said: "I hope I can become a reliable teammate next to Dwyane Wade. I believe that the Heat will definitely win the championship." .”

Compared to his son's low profile, Yuan Man's father, Yuan Su, couldn't help snatching the reporter's interview microphone, and said excitedly: "My son is the best. I have confidence in my son. Dragons make dragons, and phoenixes make phoenixes." , my son has inherited my athletic cells, he will definitely shine on the field!"

Faced with Yuan Su's excited "rhetoric words", the American media reporters present all looked at each other and showed "goodwill" smiles.

The interview with Yuan Man is just to add some entertainment news to this draft. After all, it is rare for Yuan Man to be selected as an Asian player, but no one has any hope for Yuan Man. Just a second-round pick.

After taking back Yuan Su's microphone, the reporter who had just interviewed turned around and muttered in a low voice, "I really thought my son was Gilbert."

The Gilbert mentioned by this reporter is Gilbert Arenas, the "General" who was once well-known in the league.

Arenas is also a second-round pick, but he has played very well in the NBA. He was also selected as an NBA All-Star.

Arenas' jersey number is No. 0. He told others that the reason why he chose No. 0 is to remind himself to keep focused and aggressive at all times, and to regard himself as starting from zero.

But it is a pity that although Arenas said very beautifully, he did not do it. With the "door" incident that broke out of the Wizards, Arenas, like many short-lived players, quickly disappeared from the NBA arena. .

However, the potential and ability shown by Arenas also made people later regard him as a legacy of the second round of the draft.At the same time, many second-round picks also use the example of Arenas to motivate themselves, thinking that one day they can also succeed in the NBA like Arenas.

"Dad, please stop talking." Sensing the smiles on the reporters' faces, Yuan Man immediately reminded Yuan Su.

However, not long after Yuan Man was selected by the Heat, a series of events in the league overturned Yuan Man's happy mood.

On July 2010, 7, Chris Bosh, a big-name free agent of the Toronto Raptors, suddenly announced that he would join the Heat. The specific way of joining is to sign directly or sign first and then trade, which is still uncertain for the time being.

Two days later, on July 2010, 7, another big-name free agent of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James, appeared on ESPN, under the spotlight of all eyes, through the nationally broadcast special "The-Decision", announcing that he had signed with the Heat. , It caused a shock all over the world!

"I'm going to bring my talent to Miami's South Beach." James is complacent at the moment.

Seeing the news on TV, Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was stunned and immediately called James' private phone, but it was always transferred to voicemail, and no one answered!

Gilbert, who realized that he had been severely played by James, was very disappointed with James. Angrily, he immediately published an open letter to the Cavaliers fans on the Cavaliers official website, in which he scolded James as a cowardly betrayer and sent a letter to the Cavaliers. The fans promise that the Cavaliers will win the championship before James!
This incident also made Cleveland fans angry, and even publicly burned James jerseys sold on the market!
Not long after, Yuan Man received a call from the Heat.

"Yuan, I'm sorry to inform you that you are going to report to Cleveland."

"why?"

"You've been traded."
