June 24th, 2016.
Today was the day of the NBA draft. Yu Huo was wearing a new suit that he had scrimped and saved for. He was very nervous and excited.
After Yu Huo participated in the trial training of the Los Angeles Clippers, he returned home and waited for the arrival of the draft day.
The remaining fire arrived in Brighton a day earlier, and this year's draft would be held at the Harvey Center.
" Phew, it still feels a little unbelievable…"
She looked at her 10 cm taller head in the mirror and the muscular figure that she had never had before. She smiled slightly, and the figure of the hot man appeared in her mind again.
Yu Huo strode out of the hotel room and muttered to himself," Wish me luck, Kobe!”
Similarly, in a mansion in Los Angeles, a bald man was watching TV on the sofa with his upper body naked.
"Darling, are you waiting for the live broadcast of the talent show?”
Vanessa walked out of the bedroom and sat next to Kobe, snuggling in his arms.
" Yes, dear, there are a lot of good seedlings this year..." Kobe said." Call Natalia and Jaina over. After all, this is the team I've been on for 20 years. Let's see what Kupchak chooses."”
Vanessa poured herself a glass of juice and laid lazily on the leather sofa. She asked,""Do you have any promising rookies?”
" Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jalen Brown, and Buddy Heard are all good choices," Kobe replied, then smiled." There's one more person. I hope he can be selected too..."
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening. Welcome to the NBA draft at the Buckingham Center in Brooks!”
Adam Silver, with his shiny bald head, read the opening speech on the podium." Tonight's draft will open the curtain of the 2016-2017 season. This will be the best season in history.”
The audience applauded enthusiastically. Yu Huo sat in the middle row. Although he was also a contestant, his current status could not compare to those who had become famous early in their university years. He could only buy his own tickets to enter the venue and mix with the audience.
However, Yu Huo did not care. As long as there was a ball to play, it did not matter if he was not valued for a while. After all, Yu Huo had already been " forgotten " for 20 years. He did not care about this.
Facing his own low point calmly was also a valuable asset that his experience had brought to him. One day in the future, when Yu Huo experienced a painful defeat and missed out on victory, he would quickly pull himself together.
The talent show had officially begun!
This year's top pick was taken by the Philadelphia 76ers. The team logo of the 76ers appeared on the big screen. At the same time, a five-minute countdown was started, which was the time left for the team to choose.
However, as the holder of the first pick, the 76ers had already made their choice.
"The first pick of the 2016 draft, the Philadelphia 76ers, chose…Ben Simmons!”
Just like Yu Huo's memory, Ben Simmons was a super genius who was as famous as he was arrogant, but he was still selected by the 76ers.
The big screen showed his wonderful performance in college and gave him a star model-LeBlanc James.
" Ben Simmons... is known as the West Thearch. Together with Embiid, they are known as the Twin Thearchs of Philadelphia." Yu Huo smiled and muttered to himself," Unfortunately, not everyone can be the next Lebrang."”
"Hey, what are you talking about?”Coincidentally, there was a fan wearing a 76ers jersey next to Ember. He could hear Ember's voice amidst the noise. He did not know if he had good ears or was bored." Who are you? How dare you say bad things about our Simmons?"!”
That guy was fat and he seemed to be trying to scare Yu Huo, but Yu Huo only pretended to be surprised and looked at him. She adjusted her collar and ignored him.
"What are you showing off in a suit in the audience? Did he think that he was here for a talent show?”Seeing that Yu Huo did not speak, the man suddenly became more confident." He's quite tall and strong, but unfortunately, he must be an idiot, right? He couldn't enter the NBA and was gossiping behind his back. Did he really think he was something?”
The man kept talking for a long time, and his mouth was dry. Yu Huo didn't even bother with him.
"Are you done?" Yu Huo twisted open his coke and pretended to drink happily. He saw that the man's coke had rolled down the chair to the seat below in his excitement." Don't doubt me. If I'm not right, you can come and find me."”
"Looking for you? Who are you? Where can I find you?”
Yu Huo pointed at the big screen in front of him and said,"“N，B，A。”
Yu Huo's voice wasn't harsh and was even a little calm, but his eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, making the fan shudder. He wanted to mock him, but he couldn't open his mouth. He immediately sat down quietly to watch the draft.
Next, the second pick of the Los Angeles Clippers was still the same as in his memory. It was Brandon Ingram, a talented player from Duke University.
" Sigh…" Yu Huo loosened his clenched fist and was a little disappointed. He still had a glimmer of hope that Pkucek was blind enough to fall in love with him.
Yu Huo laughed at his wishful thinking and relaxed a little. How was it possible to choose an unknown person instead of a famous genius?
The next draft went on as scheduled, and there was no change from the 2016 draft in Yu Huo's memory.
Nearly two hours later, the first round of 30 geniuses had all been selected. Adam Xiao Hua also walked down from the podium. The second round of the show could not be announced by the CEO.
A slightly plump middle-aged man took his place and began to read the results of the second round of the draft for each team.
This process was much faster because the second round of the show did not require him to go on stage to shake hands with the CEO or take a photo. He would just announce his name and some personal information, and then it would be the next person's turn.
In other words, Yu Huo could have just sat at home and watched TV like Kobe. However, after thinking about it, Yu Huo decided to come here personally to experience the atmosphere of the world's strongest basketball league. Even if he could not be selected, it would give him some motivation to fight.
If he couldn't enter the NBA, he would start from the NBA.
If they couldn't get into the NBPL, they would start from the amateur league.
With Kobe's template, he firmly believed that he would be able to make a name for himself.
"For the 43rd pick, the Houston Mosaics have chosen Zhou Qi.”
Seeing a tall and thin figure, Yu Huo remembered that there were still two compatriots who would participate in the draft this year. One was the " Demon King " Zhou Qi, and the other was the rising star of the CBA, Wang Zhelin.
There were still 17 spots left. Even though Yu Huo was prepared to lose, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, not long after, the host's voice made Yu Huo feel a little surprised and expectant.
" No. 51 pick, Los Angeles Laker..."
The Laker? The Clippers only had two picks this year. One was the second-best pick for Ingram, and the other was Zubacs, who was the 32nd pick in the second round. Now, the third pick...
Suddenly, Yu Huo's phone rang. It was a text message from the NBA officials: Hello, respected draft pick, you have been selected by the second round's number 51...
"The Los Angeles Clippers have chosen Remnant Fire!”
