The strongest basket king

Chapter 3 Lakers
In June, O'Neal announced his retirement, shortly after the 2011 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey, and was broadcast nationwide by ESPN.

Xiang Chu was not qualified to go to Little Green Tail, so he watched the live broadcast together at the home of his adoptive parents in San Francisco.

"Xiang Chu, are you sure...don't say it, it's too late. I've already bragged to five girls that you will be selected. If I'm lucky, I'll have a high-intensity date starting tomorrow."

As a mixed-race child, Alexander looks a little handsome, and his height of 1.7 meters is enough for ordinary people. Even Taier, his adoptive parents are quite normal. I don't know if this kid has a genetic mutation.

Xiang Chu looked disgusted, "Why did you go on a date when I was chosen? It seems that I need to remind those girls not to be fooled."

Alexander's expression was exaggerated, "Xiang Chu, are you a brother? Our family raised you so tall, are you embarrassed? Besides, I will definitely introduce you to some hot chicks when I get it done."

"You said that ten years ago, where's the hot chick?"

"Can you blame me? You used to be too ordinary to be hooked by a chick. If you can enter the NBA, it will be different. I will definitely introduce you to a girl who is strong enough...We are brothers. We need to communicate with each other. If there is anything in the future If tender models, flesh and skin, etc. come to you, you can throw them to me, I have heard that athletes can't get into those troubles..."

The boy Alexander babbled.Xiang Chu wanted to beat someone up.

There is only one year difference between the two, and they fought when they were young, but now there is a huge difference in body size between the two, Xiang Chu is afraid that someone will break it.

"You two, stop making trouble and come over to eat some fruit." Irene came out of the kitchen and was dressed elegantly at home.

Xiang Jianzhong has already put on his glasses and is sitting by the TV. He is slightly fatter now, but he can still see his youthful handsomeness.

"Xiang Chu, it would be great if you were selected by the Warriors."

Xiang Jianzhong also likes basketball, mainly because his home team is the Golden State Warriors, and Xiang Chu likes more teams. Besides the Warriors, he also likes the Spurs, Celtics, and even the Lakers in the same district as the Warriors.

"The Warriors have two picks this year, but they may not lack insiders." Xiang Chu regretted that the Warriors did not show any interest in him.

It must be good to be selected by the Warriors, close to home, and newcomers with average team records will have more opportunities.

There are four teams that had preliminary contact with him before, the Pelicans, Eagles, 76ers and Lakers, but none of them made any guarantees. Xiang Chu is also very nervous now.

Among the four teams, the Lakers are the closest to home and the richest. Xiang Chu also has expectations in his heart, and the Lakers hold four second-round picks, so they need an inside substitute.

"It's best to go to a developing team. There is essentially no difference between playing professional basketball and other jobs. You need to find your own position." Xiang Jianzhong said seriously.

"That's why people want him." Alexander felt that Xiang Jianzhong cared more about Xiang Chu than his own son, so he couldn't help muttering.

But when he saw Xiang Jianzhong's stern gaze, he immediately froze.

The draft will start soon, and Xiang Chu also sits down beside the TV.

When the time came, all the eyes of the family were locked on the TV screen.

The Cavaliers used the No. [-] pick on Kyrie Irving, the Timberwolves then chose Derek Williams, and the Jazz chose Enes Kanter in the third place. The first three are all big favorites. Time is mentioned repeatedly.

But from the fourth place, the situation became complicated, and Xiang Chu's heartbeat became faster and faster.

Although I know it is impossible intellectually, I still have a little hope in my heart. Maybe some teams will choose him with the first round pick.

Kemba Walker, who led the team to defeat their school and finally won the championship and won the MOP, was selected by the Hornets in ninth place, while the Bulls, who held the last first-round pick, chose Jimmy Butler in No.30 .

"It's my turn now." Xiang Chu said with a self-mockery.

He was calm on the surface, but he was a little worried about gains and losses in his heart.

Xiang Jianzhong noticed his nervousness and said: "Don't worry, you will get a chance, remember what I told you before, you can seize the opportunity with hard work, I believe you can do it."

"Yes, child, we watched your game, you played very well." Irene also encouraged.

Alexander wanted to sing a few contradictory tunes, but in the end he was afraid of being scolded for not talking nonsense.

The encouragement and comfort of his family members restored Xiang Chu's confidence and made him more determined. He worked hard enough and had a system. Even if he was not selected, he would still be able to stand out in the future. He is determined to enter the NBA.

The Lakers didn't choose him with the first pick, the Warriors didn't choose him, and the Pelicans didn't choose him, but then his name was called out.

"With the No.40 sixth pick in the second round, the Lakers selected Xiang Chu from the University of San Francisco."

Xiang Chu stood up, clenched his fists.

"Oye!" Alexander jumped up, as if his name was being called from the TV.

Xiang Chu showed a smile on his face, relaxed a lot, and took turns hugging the family members around him.

NBA, the highest hall of professional basketball, he is now standing on the threshold.

The next step is to cross over, and he will definitely do it.

With the No.60 pick in the second round, the Kings chose Isaiah Thomas, who was only 1 meters high, and the 75 draft ended.

After calming down a bit, Xiang Chu turned on his computer and logged on to social media to express his feelings.

"Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers, the other 29 teams in the league will soon realize that they have lost billions."

Only a little bit of arrogance can explode. The American people don't like modesty, and Xiang Chu knows it very well.

He didn't like to use social media before, but now he is very active in order to cooperate with the system.

Social media is like playing games. It is interesting to play with others. Xiang Chu finds it more and more interesting.

After gaining a group of fans during March Madness, Xiang Chu also understood the potential of social media to increase popularity, which is more effective than forum trumpets.

"Arrogant enough, worthy of our University of San Francisco's powerful center after Russell."

"Xiang. Are you serious? The Lakers are not easy."

"It's only a second-round pick. I bet he won't even get a minimum salary contract."

Xiang Chu blew a whistle when he saw the positive reaction from netizens. No matter whether he supported him or hated him, he was always popular. At the beginning, no one cared for a long time, so he was depressed.

However, there are still too few fans. If he can stay with the Lakers, he will definitely gain more attention.

Work hard, Xiang Chu picked up the dumbbells and started simple strength training.

Even if there is a system, personal efforts cannot be relaxed, and only by working hard can we seize opportunities.

After training until late at night, Xiang Chu took a bath and went to sleep contentedly.

City of Angels, he's coming soon.
