I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 19 Unfulfilled?

As I said before, Rice is a person with a very correct attitude at work.

So when people return to the United States, they enter the working state.So there is no such trouble as Liu Baoqiang.

Besides, the so-called bet between him and Liu Baoqiang.Liu Baoqiang cherishes it like his life.But to Rice, it was like a joke.

So people didn't take this matter to heart at all.Maybe if no one brought it up.He is very likely to forget these things right away when he is busy.

Of course, Liu Baoqiang will never forget.This is his default employee.

Perhaps the only thing Rice remembers now is to wait until the draft is over before he can be notified that this employee is on the job....

At the moment, he still needs to focus all his energy on his work as a Trail Blazer.

The 2003-04 season was a very bad season for the Trail Blazers, and it was also a very turbulent season.

Former general manager Bob Whithit just resigned because too many bad guys were left behind.

After the new general manager John Nash took the stage.All requirements for the Trail Blazers must be abided by the "25 guarantees" he proposed.

It's just a pity that it's one thing to raise it, and another thing to obey it.

Veteran player "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire, should he fight with the head coach Morris Cheeks or continue to fight with the head coach.

"North Carolina's legacy" Jeff McGinnis still acts as poison in the Trail Blazers' locker room.

Although it was hard to get this guy away in the later stage, he and Ruben Buntejie were traded from the Cavaliers for Darius Myers and some cash.

But the newcomer Darius Miles and the Blazers exchanged Rasheed Wallace from the Eagles for the forward Sharif Abdul Rahim and the center Hill Ratley who came with him. Husband, I can't urinate in a jug.

This is already the case off the court, and you can imagine the situation on the court.

Throughout the season, the Trail Blazers only had a 41-41 record of [-] wins and [-] losses in the regular season.

And this record not only made them miss the playoffs.And also ended since 1981.A 21-year streak of consecutive playoff appearances.

The chaos of the team made the fans see no hope.

In order to restore the ball market, Steve Paters, who is also the newly appointed team chairman, decided to vigorously train rookies in the new season, so this year's draft is very important to the Trail Blazers.

But as the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

This year's draft is not a draft year after all.

There are only a few "tops", and the rest can only depend on luck.

After all, not any rookie can adapt to the NBA.

Maybe these players were all-powerful in college.But when I arrived in NB, I might not be able to adapt to the rhythm here.

Although the Trail Blazers have quite a lot of draft picks this year.But there are no lottery picks.

They only have the 13th pick, 22nd pick, and 23rd pick in the first round.And the 17th pick in the second round.

It seems that the amount is large, but it gives people a feeling that it is not up or down.

It is precisely because of this.The Trail Blazers set their sights on the international market.Hope to have a good harvest here.

It is also based on the above reasons.

When Rice returned to the United States, his work was even busier than before.

In order to filter to more targets.Rice has recently been in the United States to contact international players about trial training.

During the period, after being introduced by the legendary player Arvidas Sabonis of the Trail Blazers, he flew to Russia again to inspect a new international player.

It was also so busy until the day of the draft.

As one of the most senior scouts for the Trail Blazers.Once again, this is a first-line look at international players, and Rice is definitely eligible to participate in the draft.

Of course, he went only as a bystander and passer-by.

Can not have any decision-making power.

These are the rights of the team chairman, general manager and head coach.

There is not much difference after the start of the draft.

The Orlando Magic, with the No. [-] pick, chose Dwight Howard, the No. [-] high school student in the United States.

The Charlotte Bobcats selected Emeka Okafor with the second pick.

Ben Gordon won the third overall pick.

Livingston went to the Los Angeles Clippers.

"It seems that Liu is very lucky. He guessed all the top three picks correctly? Haha... I thought Livingston would become the third overall pick?"

The lottery has nothing to do with the Blazers.

So Rice still has leisure time, watching all the top 10 rookies.

But the top three are fine. It’s still the same sentence of choosing 4 from 3. You can probably guess it right with your eyes closed.

But in the future?The more Rice looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because the names of these rookies in the top 10 of the first round continue to appear.Les felt more and more familiar with it.I feel like I've seen it somewhere.

Les didn't look at the two pages that Liu Baoqiang gave him back then.

Barely took a look at the top 10.

I really just glanced at it, so I only remembered a rough idea.

Not to mention the latter.He didn't even get a rough look.

But it is this kind of approximation that still gives him a "sense of instant vision".

"Isn't it possible? That guy actually guessed all the top 10 correctly? Impossible, absolutely impossible?"

Those two pieces of paper were not on Rice's body.It has been said many times that this thing is a joke to him.It would be nice to bring it back to the US.How could it be possible to keep this thing close to the body.

Fortunately, he didn't throw it away after returning to the United States.It should have been put in his suitcase casually, but it's hard to say whether it's still there or not.

"I really do. Even if all the top 10 are guessed correctly, it can only show that the guy is really lucky! Why should I be so surprised?"

Maybe to comfort myself.

Les tried not to dwell on the issue.

But people are like this, once there is a doubt in my heart, I really want to solve it.

And as the draft continues.Players are constantly being drafted by different teams.

The more Rice wanted to explore the accuracy of Liu Baoqiang's guess.

But Les wants to leave now?Obviously unlikely.

Not to mention his serious attitude towards work.

He also had to write down the list of those draft picks himself.Only then can I be willing to go back and verify.

Time just passed by little by little.The slow Rice actually experienced Liu Baoqiang's torment of waiting.

Fortunately, this suffering was not as long as Liu Baoqiang's.

When the Trail Blazers used the No. 13 pick in the first round, they chose Sebastian Telfair, who had just graduated from high school like Howard.

He used the No. 22 and No. 23 picks in the first round to select Victor Kayapa and Sergemonia, both from Russia, and finally selected Ha Seung from South Korea with the No. 17 pick in the second round. After the town.

Rice couldn't wait to go home overnight.

To know where the draft is held, it is Madison Square Garden in New York.

Rice's home is far away in Portland.

He remembered it clearly when he came this time.Because it's just a short trip.He just took a simple travel bag.

And Liu Baoqiang's two pieces of paper should still be at his home.

So if he wanted to verify the accuracy of the list, he had to go home first.

But at this moment, he didn't even want to wait for a moment, so naturally he had to go home overnight.

Yifan's booking, flight, and landing.

When Les returned home, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, just rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a while.

Only then did I finally find those two seemingly ordinary pages.

And when he put himself on the list of draft picks recorded in the draft.Put it together with Liu Baoqiang's two pieces of paper.

Then there is a one-by-one comparison and one-by-one verification.Until all the rookies are compared.Les still had a look of disbelief on his face.Just staring at those two pages quietly all the time.

One hour, two hours….

Until Rice's family felt wrong.Under constant shaking, Rice seemed to come back to life.

And the first thing Rice did after returning to his soul was.It doesn't matter what time it is, just make a phone call.

Of course the call was to Liu Baoqiang.

Don't look at Rice doesn't have Liu Baoqiang's contact number.

But it was very easy for him to contact Liu Baoqiang.

He only needs to call the Nanfu City Sports Bureau and get the phone number of the Ping County Sports Bureau from there.

"I don't know how you did it, and I don't know if you are a god? Dude! I have to apologize to you, the bet you raised may be difficult for me to fulfill...!"

The moment the call is connected.Before Liu Baoqiang had time to speak, Rice said such a paragraph to him directly...
