Chapter 38
The 2010 NBA Draft officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden on June 6, local time in the United States.Anson, who became one of the hottest lottery picks after the Chicago Combine workout, was naturally invited.This very historic arena is already crowded with people, not only the 24 people on the small green room list invited by the NBA, but also many reporters from major media, ESPN, FOX Sports, Sports Illustrated, CBS Naturally, the four major sports media will not be absent. At the same time, An Sheng unexpectedly saw Su Quan. He did not expect that he was also invited in the Basketball Pioneer News.

However, thinking about the fact that I received a call from my parents at the very beginning, and Mama An excitedly said that she could watch the whole process of her draft on TV. Presumably this draft will be broadcast live in China, then It is not impossible for the Basketball Pioneer to be invited as a domestic media at the same level as the previous four.After all, the last time Yi Jianlian was treated as a national live broadcast in 07, it's just that he was not trained by the domestic basketball system, and his entry into the NBA may embarrass many domestic youth teams.

Originally, Anson wanted to invite Emma Watson for this trip to the little green house, but now she is busy with her studies because she is filming the sixth Harry Potter book for herself.So unlike the other players who come with the whole family, at Anson's table, it's just him and his agent, Leon Rose, who are awkwardly at the table.Fortunately, his good friend Hayward was on the side, which made him seem less lonely.

"Gordon, I heard that the Jazz gave you a draft promise this time?" Anson asked Hayward next to him a little curiously.

Speaking of this, Hayward's face is a little excited. For him, Jerry Sloan is a coach he has long wanted to play for, and the Jagged Jazz defense they created is also what he yearns for. : "Yes, Ann, Salt Lake City is a great place, they like defense very much, I wonder why they didn't invite you to try out, honestly, you are more suitable for that team than me."

An Sheng immediately joked: "I went there, then where are you going? I don't want my friend to be homeless. As for me, as long as I am not the No. 14 person who was picked away from the group present, I am very satisfied." gone."

During the exchange between the two, the draft had already begun, and the Wizards with the No. [-] pick was the first to select John Wall from the University of Kentucky. Although John Wall, who became the No. [-] pick, was very happy, he did not suddenly win the lottery The kind of excitement that the Wizards have obviously communicated with the Wizards a long time ago, and it is not surprising that the Wizards chose him just now.

John Wall put on the Wizards baseball cap and shook hands with David Stern cordially, expressed his love for Washington and the Wizards, and then left the game, and at the end of the game, John Wall deliberately went around to Anson Beside the table, he said to An Sheng: "China An, your defense is very good, I am waiting for you in the NBA!"

Hearing John Wall's challenge, An Sheng just wanted to roll his eyes at this moment, are you mentally retarded?I'm a small forward!If it wasn't for that system-breaking task, wouldn't it be tiring for someone to defend you as a defender for the entire game?Of course, he pretended to be happy on the surface and said: "Congratulations, you have become the No. [-] pick, so my pick may be higher." Of course, it is not high to prevent several beautiful balls from the No. [-] pick?One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven!Wait, it seems that this idiom is not appropriate to use like this.

After John Wall heard this sentence, he didn't understand what it meant in a daze. Why did An Sheng's pick become higher when he was the No. [-] pick?This question has plagued him throughout the draft, making the No. [-] pick sit in his seat frowning.

The next draft went very smoothly. The 76ers chose Evan Turner, the Nets picked Derek Favors, and the Timberwolves chose Wesley Johnson with the fourth overall pick. People are a little surprised, Wesley Johnson is indeed a very good player, but it still surprises many teams to use a fourth overall pick to select a 23-year-old guy who has almost exhausted his potential. The Sacramento Kings immediately happily picked Cousins ​​away.

"What? The Clippers are going to pick Anson? When did this happen? Why do you only know now?" Larry Bird looked shocked at this time. He thought that getting Anson with the tenth overall pick was absolutely a sure thing, not at all. Any news came out that the Clippers actually wanted to choose Anson, "Gary Sachs, that guy who can only look at people with his ass, will never see Anson's potential, and he will never choose a defensive player, damn Tony."

For a moment, Larry Bird thought that Tony Cavill must be on the sidelines to give Gary Sachs a trick, but he calmed down immediately after going through all kinds of storms: "Contact old Nelson immediately and say he is not Always wanted to get Mike Dunleavy to the Warriors? He got it, and he got the [-]th pick. We just want their sixth pick, and they can add whatever they want It doesn't matter what the head is, what I want now is to be quick! Quick! Quick!"

After the phone call, Larry Bird, who was extremely angry, would have smashed the phone now if he thought of answering the phone later. Seeing that the current draft has reached the fourth pick, Larry Bird De has already begun to curse the Clippers' management and his own guys again. He can't find out this, and the entire team system should be replaced!At the same time, he was also annoyed at why he was so confident. He never expected that others would fall in love with An Sheng as much as he did.

And the assistant on the side was stunned. He knew that Larry Bird was very fond of Anson, but he didn't expect that he would pay the No. [-] pick and an important rotation for Anson. The Warriors' rubbish contract is simply a deal in his eyes. It's not that he hasn't watched An Sheng's games and training. In his eyes, a player whose ability to hold the ball and shooting ability has yet to be developed will Let the team pay this big price to get him?

He couldn't help but cast his gaze on the Chinese boy who was sitting upright in the field. Could it be that he is really not suitable for this job at all as the general manager said?
