The world's best combo guard

Chapter 27 [Two Moods]

In fact, the number one target of the Heat with the No. 5 pick in the first round was Chris Kaman. However, when Riley was preparing to try out Kaman in Chicago, he inadvertently saw Wade training on the other side of the field. , And then showed a strong interest in him, and soon after, Riley invited Wade to Miami for a trial.

Immediately afterwards, Riley changed the team's primary goal. After the trial training, he told Wade directly that the Miami Heat would select him with the No. 5 pick in the first round.

During that time, Wade was not in a good mood. He felt that the whole world was against him. God was unfair to him and took away a half moon plate from him abruptly. Wade had that self-confidence. Even if it is the No. [-] pick, he has the ability to fight for it. What about the famous "little emperor" LeBron James in the United States?He can do everything with his speed.

So when Riley suddenly told him that they would choose him with the No. 5 pick in the first round, Wade clenched his fists, and his eyes burst into intense flames.

"Mr. Pat Riley, thank you for your appreciation and trust. I will lead the Miami Heat to the championship. Please remember, this is a promise made to you by a person who lost a meniscus."

Wade told Riley.

Surprisingly, Riley was not annoyed by the sudden arrogant attitude of this seemingly gentle child, he even liked this child even more.

So, it was him, Riley told himself at the time.

From the beginning of the draft to the official acquisition of Wade, Pat Riley was always nervous. He was afraid that the first four teams would snatch Wade away. There will be worries.

Of course, now that he can relax, Pat Riley got up and planned to leave. In his opinion, the Miami Heat are already the biggest winner tonight, and he has got what he wants.

…………

However, at this time, compared to Riley's good mood, in another box on the upper side of the arena, the current director of the Memphis Grizzlies, Jerry West, was not in such a good mood. His face was terrible and ugly at the moment.

To be honest, West paid attention to Wade much earlier than Riley. He had already noticed Wade half a year ago. West was very optimistic about Wade, so after the regular season, he chose to go with Houston. The Rockets traded and got the Rockets' No. 13 pick in the first round, with the purpose of selecting Wade.

In the latest mock draft list updated by ESPN, Wade happened to be ranked 13th in the first round. At that time, West was very happy. He felt that he could win Wade with a certainty.

Seven years ago, he was astute and used Divac as a bargaining chip to get the No. 7 rookie Kobe Bryant from the Hornets. Today, Kobe Bryant has grown into a league superstar, and he Jerry Way Ster has also become an indelible hero for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now, as the basketball director of the Memphis Grizzlies, he intends to replicate the feat of the year. He intends to use the No. 13 pick in the first round traded from the Houston Rockets to sign Dwyane Wade. West believes that this unpopular kid will definitely lead the Memphis Grizzlies to rise. He hopes to see that day, and he hopes that he will also become a hero of the Memphis Grizzlies.

But what he didn't expect now is that the old fox Pat Riley put all his eggs in one basket and took Wade first, which made West very disappointed.

"Dwyane Wade was drafted away? Then what's the point of the No. 13 pick in the first round that I worked so hard to get?" West squeezed his temples with both hands, his head was about to explode.

"Without Dwyane Wade, all my follow-up plans are meaningless." West roared in his heart. In order to get Wade, he made sufficient preparations. He planned to build a team around Wade, and even he even made subsequent trade plans All thought up.

"Mr. Director, the boss, Mr. Michael Heisley, wants to know who we should choose with the 13th pick after losing Dwyane Wade?" At this time, the assistant came over and asked.

"Damn" West woke up, and he realized that tonight's draft work is not over yet.

However, after losing Dwyane Wade, who should I choose?

West fell into self-examination. He picked up the list of players participating in this year's draft. Outside, Stern had announced the owner of the No. 8 pick. He had to make a decision quickly.

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks selected TJ Ford from the University of Texas with their No. 8 pick"

On the host stage, Stern once again read the name of a lucky guy.

"Ahao, you should pay attention to this guy. He is very fast. I have watched his college game video. It is no exaggeration to say that his speed is a grade faster than yours." Yao Zhijun said with a serious expression.

"Really?" Li Hao had never heard of this guy before, but Yao Zhijun's expression was obviously not lying to him, so he couldn't help but look at this guy named TJ Ford twice more.

"Brother Jun, the NBA is really a place where crouching tigers hide dragons. This is just a group of rookies participating in the draft. There are already two guys whose speed can match me, or even faster than me," Li Hao said with emotion.

"Two? Ah Hao, besides this TJ Ford, who else?" Yao Zhijun was a little surprised.

"And Dwyane Wade, who was just selected by the Miami Heat with the No. 5 pick," Li Hao said without thinking.

"Him? I didn't notice that." Yao Zhijun nodded his head.

"I've seen his breakthrough speed with the ball in the United Center before. It's really fast, especially when he starts the first step. I don't think anyone can keep up with him." Li Hao still has that day in the United Center in his mind. I saw the picture of Wade breaking through with the ball.

"It seems that you are very optimistic about that Dwyane Wade." Yao Zhijun felt that Li Hao not only valued Wade's speed, he knew Li Hao, and Li Hao was not the kind of person who praised others casually.

"That's right, I am really optimistic about him, at least I think he is fully worthy of the No. 5 pick," Li Hao said.

"If this is the case, it would be really interesting. This year is worthy of the draft year. LeBron James, Milicic, Carmela Anthony, Chris Bosh, TJ Ford, you, plus what you said That Dwyane Wade, it is no exaggeration to say that your current class will not be much inferior to the "golden generation" of 96," Yao Zhijun sighed.

"Come on, Brother Jun, everyone else is the proud son of heaven who is famous all over the United States. I am the only one, so stop praising me." Li Hao said angrily. He didn't know why Yao Zhijun had so much confidence in him. Even more confident in himself than himself.

Soon, it was Stern's turn to announce his favorite player for the Memphis Grizzlies, who held the No. 13 pick in the first round.
"I announce that the Memphis Grizzlies have selected Li Hao from China with their No. 13 pick in the first round. However, they have already completed the deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, and Li Hao will be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers."

At this moment, the entire Madison Square Garden was in an uproar.
