Barkley had always been outspoken in the world of commentary. He had said whatever he wanted, ever since he accepted the T,N,T commentary contract after his retirement.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a joke.
"Is there a possibility that Duke hid himself so well that he didn't even attend the training camp just to become a genius?”Ken Smith smiled and made a guess.
"Hiding your strength just to join the geniuses? Was there a hole in his brain? With such talent, he could even surpass his hometown Yao Ming and become the best candidate for the top scorer. Join a genius? What was a genius? Could it be because of that basic salary contract?”
" If that's the case, then he's really an angel!" Barkley said disdainfully. He's doing charity for the capitalists!"
"The prodigies have Michael Jordan!" Smith's face revealed a faint mocking expression." Maybe he's a hardcore fan of Michael and won't go unless he's a genius?”
"Oh!"
Barkley was speechless.
He had actually forgotten about Jordan.
If it was because of Jordan, he did have that kind of charisma.
However, he still did not believe it. He pursed his lips and said stubbornly,"Unless Michael and Du made some kind of deal, no one would reject the top five picks 'million-dollar annual contract.”
Kenny Smith had been smiling mysteriously. In fact, he secretly agreed with Barkley's statement.
No one would reject a ten-million-dollar contract if they were not stupid. Duke was not a rich second-generation heir.
There was only one possibility…
Before this, Duke had little contact with basketball, or he had never thought of it as a career.
Therefore, he had never known that he had extraordinary talent.
This could be seen from the fact that he had never played an official basketball game in high school.
Perhaps someone had discovered it, or perhaps they had suddenly realized that entering the NBA would make them a lot of money, so they decided to participate in the draft at the last minute.
If that was the case, then everything made sense.
A high school student who had never played basketball before and had never taken it as a career was suddenly discovered and encouraged to join the NBA.
Duke, on the other hand, agreed to this suggestion because of his family. That was why he decided to participate in the election at the last minute.
However, because of the temporary situation, he missed training camp and missed the team's trial training. He could only get the opportunity to try out for the Wizards through his connections.
Yes, that must be the case!
That was what Ken Smith thought.
The more he guessed in this direction, the more he felt that it made sense. Then, he decided to ask Jordan when he had time to find out the truth.
The audience wanted to leave, but when they heard the conversation between the two and Smith's speculation, their eyes lit up.
Was that so?
Did Duke give us a huge advantage because of a last-minute idea?
If he was, then he was truly a genius blessed by the heavens!
Even Du, Duke's father, felt that Smith's words made sense.
Otherwise, that kid wouldn't have left home for a period of time without a word and suddenly chosen after returning. He only found out about it after his son was selected.
If that's the case, then I have to thank the scout who found my son.
But he didn't have time to think about it. Just as Duke was about to follow Jordan and the others into the players 'tunnel after the interview, he immediately stopped them.
"Son, here!"
Perhaps it was because it was too noisy, Duke didn't hear it and continued walking forward.
However, he finally reacted when a crisp sound rang out in an even louder decibel.
He turned around and saw Old Du waving at him. Beside him were Vanessa and Lena.
That clear female voice was obviously from Lena.
"Hello, I didn't expect you to come!”
Duke responded to the excited shouts of the fans on the side. He quickly walked up to the three of them and said with a smile.
"About ten minutes before the start of the game, we got the tickets from the staff.”
Old Du smiled as he looked at his son, who was very natural and graceful. He glanced at the fans around him and felt extremely proud.
Look, this is my son!
"It's good that you got it!"
The seats the three of them were sitting in now were not his family tickets.
Because Old Du's call came too late, and they were in a hurry to prepare for the game, the tickets in their hands had long been thrown to the staff to handle.
After learning that Du was coming to watch the game, Duke had no choice but to ask Jordan for help during the warm-up.
Jordan was indeed a big shot. After saying a word to the coaching staff, Old Du and the other two easily got the tickets.
Otherwise, they could only watch the big screen from outside.
Duke nodded at Vanessa and Lena as a greeting.
However, compared to Vanessa's generous and reserved nod and smile, Lena was much more excited.
"Hey, Du, I didn't expect you to be an NBA star now. You actually didn't tell me!”
I don't know you very well!
Duke smiled, but he didn't say what was on his mind. He just smiled and said,""At that time, you were traveling on your own, and I didn't have much time. I was training.”
"It's alright!"
Lena didn't mean to blame him, she just wanted to chat with him and get to know him better.
The two of them went to the same high school, but they lived in different circles of friends and did not interact much with each other.
Duke was usually like a bookworm in school. He would either stay in the library or find a random place to sit down. He had very few friends.
Perhaps it was because he had lived two lifetimes, but he did not hang out with a bunch of brats.
Lena was considered a top student and had a strong social attribute. She was a top student and a socialite (This term was a positive term here, meaning that she was social and had a wide range of friends. It did not mean that her private life was chaotic.）The switch between the two was natural.
She was also a national beauty and had an excellent figure. She was very in line with the aesthetics of the East and the West. Both sides were popular, so she was very popular and naturally the center of attention of the students.
It was difficult for her to blend in with Duke, who was always alone.
Even though the parents of both parties were familiar with each other and wanted to stay together for warmth.
However, adults had their own world, and children had their own social life. They did not interfere with each other.
"However, you have to treat me to a meal!"
"No problem!"
Duke agreed readily to her offer.
Even if he didn't invite her, he had to make arrangements for Old Du and Vanessa.
"Du, let's go!"
Just as he was about to talk to Old Du, for some reason, Jordan came over personally to urge Duke. Old Du and Vanessa were shocked.
Old Du and Vanessa looked at each other as they watched Duke and Jordan leave.
He was actually so close to Jordan?
