   Chapter 2 2. Wonderful draft expectations (for collection)

   It's approaching 8 o'clock, and the draft is about to start.

   The rookies have long noticed the camera movement.

  It's on TV, but, including Liu Xiu, every member of the Little Green House has asked their agent about this.

  Don’t say it, the brokers really understand this.

   Every rookie is a piss...

  Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage. The host came to the stage and said the opening remarks as usual, and then came to the sub-stage.

The    side stage is to deal with emergencies, that is, when the draft is in progress.

With 10 seconds to go before 8:00, NBA President David Stern stepped onto the stage, and the time and his temperament were tightly controlled. At 8:00, he came to the center of the stage steadily... Welcome Hundreds of fans who came to watch the draft were also booed by the timing.

  David Stern seemed to hear cheers and applause, smiled and said enthusiastically: "Ladies and gentlemen..."

   In this scene, Liu Xiuzhen wanted to applaud David Stern.

   But thinking about it, it doesn’t seem to matter, without him, only familiar with you.

David Stern made his opening remarks like in previous years. At this time, the draft actually started. At 8:03, the staff sent the first envelope to the stage. choose.

  David Stern opened the envelope, saw the name, and couldn't stop smiling.

  David Stern is a professional. After seeing the name, he immediately said into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2003 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected the first pick..."

When David Stern first stepped on the stage, the rookies in the Little Green Room were still thinking differently, but when the envelope was handed to David Stern, every rookie's attention The power is concentrated.

  When David Stern stretched his tail, all the rookies on the scene...except Liu Xiu, every rookie was looking forward to hearing his name.

   is like buying a welfare lottery ticket. As long as you buy it, even if you know that the probability of winning is zero, you will still look forward to it at the moment when the lottery is about to be drawn.

   In just two or three seconds, David Stern enjoyed it and continued: "...LeBron James from St. Mary's High School!"

  The table position where James was standing immediately boiled, and cheers and congratulations continued.

  James' mother jumped up from the chair and shouted, "Hahahaha, you see, my son is a multi-millionaire!"

  What James' mother said was right. She became the No. 1 draft pick. After four years, the after-tax income was guaranteed to be tens of millions. However, many young people who heard James' mother's roar felt ashamed.

   At this time, James took the initiative to hug his mother and said, "It will be better, this is just the beginning."

  The people around didn't hear what James said, but James' actions made many people feel ashamed.

   'Don't you think your mother is ugly... Lebang has nothing to say...'

Liu Xiu's original age is 5 years older than the rookies present, and the most is 10 years older. Although a man's age does not necessarily mean he is more mature, he must have more experience, and he couldn't understand some of his parents when he was a child. Aspects, but also with age began to understand.

  After hugging and having fun with his family and friends, James took to the stage, donned a Cavaliers hat, and shook hands with David Stern for a photo.

   The top pick was released, and he didn't become a member of the small green house in the top pick, so he lost a bit and was not affected much.

   After all, this is something that has long been confirmed.

In 4 years of high school, James won the state championship 3 times. In terms of the best team of high school students in the United States, James was selected for the first team 3 times in 4 years, refreshing the awards since Garnett, Kobe, Odom and Kwame Brown. Holds the historical record of two awards.

   If you change to a stable team, you may choose Anthony, but the Cavaliers will only choose James when they get the No. 1 pick, and they will not choose James when they get the No. 1 pick. The Cavaliers have no other way out than moving.

  James returned to his seat wearing a Cavaliers hat, David Stern left the stage, and live television footage began showing James High School highlights.

   At the scene of the draft conference, the rookies returning to the state of anticipation.

  James is now completely relaxed. Although it is a sure thing, but he can feel at ease after he is really selected.

   'The second pick is that guy...'

  James didn't feel those two glances anymore. When he turned to talk to his high school teammates next to him, he glanced at Anthony. Anthony's eyes were fixed on the empty stage, and his expression couldn't stop excited.

  James can understand Anthony's mentality, and there will still be worries about things that are guaranteed.

  It has long been rumored that the Pistons have promised Anthony that if the Cavaliers do not select Anthony, their target is Anthony.

  From a certain point of view, James envy Anthony...

  Anthony is really excited now, what is the most important reason for him to accept not being the No. 1 pick?

   The team with the second overall pick is the Detroit Pistons! 2002-03 NBA regular season eastern first place!

   The Pistons traded last season's starting small forward Michael Curry after the Finals, freeing up the starting small forward spot.

   And the Pistons actually told him to draft him during the workout.

  How you look at it, the Pistons sent Michael Curry to pick him.

   Entered the NBA as the No. 2 pick, and the team is still a championship-level team. The last player who received such treatment was named James Worthy!

   Seeing that Anthony was no longer able to maintain his 'cool' image, Liu Xiu sighed silently in his heart - 'This time, I don't need the 180 points of healing...'

   A few minutes later, David Stern returned to the stage again, this time with an envelope.

  Rarely, the fans at the scene did not boo, but started cheering and shouting Anthony's name.

Anthony led Syracuse University to the NCAA Basketball Championship. His popularity in New York State is no less than that of James in Ohio State. The NCAA Basketball Championship is as valuable as the number of state high school championships. For now, Anthony's reputation in New York State is worth it. The real number of fans is far more than James is in Ohio.

   Usually, New Yorkers regard other cities in New York State other than New York as the countryside.

   But basketball fans, in relation to Anthony, then Syracuse is part of New York.

  David Stern, very professional, a little unaccustomed to not booing, but the action did not stop in the slightest, went to the center of the stage to open the envelope, but when he saw the name, he was obviously stunned.

  David Stern sighed in his heart, "Joe Dumars can really do such a thing..."

   Amid cheers and anticipation, David Stern said with his usual smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2003 NBA draft, the Detroit Pistons selected..."

   Liu Xiu saw that Anthony, who was beside him, had already leaned forward, looking like he was going to stand up at any time.

  Anthony's relatives and friends were also ready to cheer and celebrate.

   This time, Liu Xiu had no way to appease Anthony.

   'It doesn't matter, people, it takes a little blow to grow...'

   If he can't think of a way, Liu Xiu doesn't want to. The things that can't be solved are wasted brain cells, and it's not worth it.

   In the anticipation of everyone on the scene, David Stern's long tail ended and continued: "...Dakko Milicic from Serbia!"

   Anthony's relatives and friends had cheered, but stopped abruptly.

   Anthony's buttocks had already left the stool, but he froze in place, his posture was quite beautiful, and Liu Xiu next to him retracted his gaze and dared not look at it.

   The other dozen or so members of the Little Green House were also dumbfounded.

  ‘Milisic? Who is it? ’

'I? why me? Why did the Pistons pick me? ’

   Anthony's confidence is not only played well and the Pistons promised, but also added that the Pistons traded Michael Curry to free up the starting small forward position.

  Although there are expectations, others have long tacitly agreed that James and Anthony are the top two picks.

Including Milicic, he is ready to go to the Nuggets. According to the information he got from his agent, the Nuggets have already said that they will use Camby to trade Andre Miller to make room for him. out of location…

   Hearing that the second pick was not Anthony, there were violent boos!

   New York fans are very interesting. Although the Knicks did not choose Anthony, they are already discussing whether the Pistons can beat the Lakers or the Spurs if they have a stable scorer if they choose Anthony.

Picking a player in the draft immediately changes the pattern of the NBA. It's not like this has never happened before. Duncan, Magic, and Bird have all done it. As far as the current situation is concerned, Anthony + Pistons are in people's eyes. It is possible that this is the case.

   Even if it's only possible, people think the Pistons will give it a shot, and the talent and strength that Anthony shows is real.

David Stern looked at Milicic, who was still stunned when he put on the Pistons cap, and watched the rookies on the scene either surprised, puzzled, or gloating... He felt that Joe Dumars The choice, for the league, is not a bad thing.

   If nothing else, David Stern can already imagine the controversy brought about by the Pistons' choice, and he is afraid that there will be no controversy.

  …

The    Pistons' selection was unexpected, but it did not hinder the continuation of the draft.

   A few minutes later, the ecstatic Nuggets manager handed the ball cap to Anthony, who couldn't squeeze out a smile. Anthony walked onto the stage to shake hands with David Stern and hurried back to his seat.

   Anthony's relatives and friends comforted him before he forced a smile.

  Liu Xiu wanted to comfort Anthony, and Anthony spoke first: "Jess, who is that European center with the second pick? I've never heard of it, are the Pistons crazy? Why choose him?"

  Although Anthony did not reject invitations from 28 other teams like James, but except for the top three picks, all others, including the joint trial, did not know Milicic at all.

"Dakko Milicic, do you want to hit him? I heard that he is a boxing master, you can't even beat me, don't think about going to a duel, call me, the two of us together, definitely hit him cry!"

   "Who said I couldn't beat you? One-on-one in a while!"

  Anthony was still looking forward to Liu Xiu's inadvertent tenderness, who knew that this guy would still ask for a fight.

   I don’t talk about fighting anymore. I feel sad when I talk about fighting. He is nearly 20 cm tall, but he can’t fight…

  Thoughts began to diverge, and all kinds of negative emotions in Anthony's heart were temporarily put aside, and he was once again worried about pulling Liu Xiu to run for election.

  ‘Middle of the first round to loser…’

  Anthony thought of Liu Xiu's bizarre draft expectations.

Glancing at the friend who has accepted the current situation, Anthony secretly swore in his heart—'If Jayce doesn't have a team to ask for it, even if I'm said to be a rookie playing a big name, I'll choose my team to sign him, Otherwise I won't report it! ’

  …

  …

   For collections, for recommended tickets!

  The signing will probably be completed next week.

   After taking a 50-day break, I started a new book. Xiaofeng calculated it before. In the past 5 years, the total rest time is about 50 days.

The public period is updated twice a day, the number of words will not be too small, at least 150,000 words a month, according to the current situation, it is estimated that 200,000 words will have to be put on the shelves, so you have to take it easy. .

  QQ group: 747103528, if you want to add it, you can add it~
