Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 192
After some simple chatter, David.Stern went straight to the point, glanced at the things on the table, laughed, and then announced that the Spurs, who won the No. [-] pick, selected Duncan.

This news does not seem to be a special matter. If anyone gets the No. [-] lottery, they will win Duncan. Unless they are fools, they will ignore it even if they are geniuses.

Ling Yu doesn't care who the No. [-] pick is, or it can be said that Ling Yu doesn't care about who the top three picks are at all. He is just nervous about whether McGrady will be taken by other teams first. In that case, he and West All those efforts were in vain.

Ling Yu knew that before the draft, West had put in a lot of effort and wanted to get a higher pick through a trade, but he didn't know if it was because the terms offered by West were not good, or because the other party's conditions were too harsh, or It can also be said that they are looking forward to this year's rookie. No matter what, West did not trade for the pick he wanted.Therefore, at this time, West and Ling Yu are very nervous. Without a high pick, they can only hope that other teams will not find McGrady, and then leave McGrady behind.

This kind of waiting is very passive and tense. If something goes wrong, McGrady will be selected.However, apart from waiting, West can't do much. He prepared for the worst. If he can't get McGrady tonight as he wished, he will make every effort to trade McGrady after going down.So, no matter what, the Lakers have to get McGrady.

After some anxious waiting, all the top six picks have passed, and none of the teams selected Tracy McGrady. This seems to relieve West's tension, but this is the most tense moment.The outside world's predictions for McGrady have not reached the top six. That is to say, if the outside world's predictions are followed, McGrady is likely to be selected in this position. How can West feel relaxed? Very tangled, I can see that he is worried, very nervous.

The seventh passed, McGrady was not selected, and the eighth came down, and only the last one was left to wait. However, this waiting was indeed the most tense and depressing.

The eighth pick is the Golden State Warriors. They struggled for a long time and finally chose Adonal.Foyle, a player Ling Yu has never heard of, and because of this, they missed McGrady.This time, West's nervous heart finally calmed down, but he became excited again. No one picked McGrady, so he belonged to the Lakers.

The eighth is over, and now it's the Lakers who hold the ninth overall pick. Not surprisingly, West selected McGrady. When McGrady took the stage and shook hands with Stern, Ling Yu left with excitement. meeting hall.

The most important thing has passed, and there is nothing to watch, so Ling Yu left.However, when Ling Yu left the club, he didn't leave immediately. He still had something to do, which was to celebrate with his new teammates.

It's just that things didn't seem to go as smoothly as Ling Yu thought, and Ling Yu just waited outside. However, until the draft was over, and McGrady didn't come out, Ling Yu couldn't help being a little dazed. This was something that had been agreed long ago. At the end, no matter which team is selected, both of them have to celebrate. What's the matter, no one is seen now?

There is no way to wait like this, the flowers will all wither.Without thinking about it, Ling Yu quickly took out his phone and pressed the number of Maddie, but, unfortunately, no one answered, Ling Yu was confused now, what was this guy doing, why didn't he even call? Pick up?
Ling Yu guessed that maybe Maidi didn't notice the call, so he didn't answer it, so Ling Yu dialed again, but the result was still the same, and no one answered.

"This person has forgotten, right?" Ling Yu was a little stunned. Could it be that he knew that he was selected by the Lakers, and then he was so excited that he forgot about it?

Ling Yu shook his head helplessly, McGrady didn't answer the phone, and didn't come out, why are he waiting here, selling sugar cane?Ling Yu heaved a long sigh, turned and left the clubhouse.However, within a few steps, West's phone call came.

"West?" Ling Yu was a little confused. McGrady didn't answer his phone, but now West called. What happened?However, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart, Ling Yu answered the phone.

"Hi, I'm Bryant."

"Bryant, I'm David. West, where are you now?" West's tone was a little anxious, but he was very polite.

"I'm outside the draft club, and I'm just about to go back." Although Ling Yu was curious why West asked himself such a question, he still told the truth about his current situation.

"Don't go, just wait for me there, I'll go find you right away." After finishing speaking, West hung up the phone without waiting for Ling Yu's consent.

Ling Yu stared at the phone in his hand, with a look of astonishment, what is this West doing, he just wants to wait here without saying anything.However, since West said it, Ling Yu naturally couldn't leave, and could only wait where he was.It didn't take long, and after a while, West came, panting and walking towards Ling Yu.

"Bryant, why are you here? We thought you were still in the hall." West looked at Ling Yu speechlessly. The draft came out before it was over, which made him wait in vain. .

"We've already taken down McGrady. I don't think there's any need to watch it anymore, so I came out." Ling Yu said indifferently, what's the point of going to see him for those unnecessary things? It's a waste of time.

"Then you have to tell us first, let us know." West looked at Ling Yu with some complaints.

Ling Yu was really in a daze now. Only his agent and McGrady knew about his coming. Where did West get the news?hearsay?No, McGrady must have told him, that is to say, he knew where McGrady was.

"This...that's embarrassing." Ling Yu should make amends first, anyway, it's not an embarrassing thing, not to mention that Ling Yu wants to find Mai Di first, so Ling Yu hurriedly asked: "Mr. West, Mai Di to be with you?"

"That's right, we've been waiting for you inside." West rolled his eyes at Ling Yu, a little annoyed, and said, "If I hadn't called you, we would have left."

Ling Yu was really speechless now. It was his own fault after all the back and forth. He had called McGrady before. Did this guy not see it, or did he forget it?
"Then let's hurry over to find them." Ling Yu didn't bother to explain anything at this time, and everything became clear after meeting McGrady.

"I guess they're all gone." West glared at Ling Yu: "I'll call them and ask where to look first." After speaking, West took out his phone and flipped through the phone After that, the dial key was pressed.

West babbled on the phone for a while, then hung up, and said to Ling Yu, "They're gone."

"Leaving?" Ling Yu was stunned, why did he leave?Didn't he jump into the Yellow River and couldn't clean himself up?

West nodded, frowned, and said lightly: "However, we haven't gone far, and we can still catch up now."

"Okay, then let's go there now." Ling Yu didn't want to just take the blame.

West nodded, hailed the next car, got into it, and Ling Yu followed.

After driving for a while, the car stopped on a relatively busy street. With curiosity and confusion, Ling Yu got out of the car, and West followed.

"Are they here?" Ling Yu was very curious. If they wanted to go back, it would be a hotel, or if they wanted to take a plane, they would have to go to the airport. How could they come to such a place?
"I don't know, they just said here." West spread his hands and looked at Ling Yu helplessly.

"Then where did they say it was?" Ling Yu began to search around to see if there was McGrady's figure, but he scanned the entire street, but still couldn't find it.

"Then I'll make another call." Then, West made another call, growled a few words, seemed to know where they were, hung up the phone, and said to Ling Yu: "I know they are Where, come with me."

Ling Yu didn't ask any further questions, and followed West forward.

"Will they be here?" Seeing the extreme decoration and the extravagant lamps in front of him, Ling Yu was suddenly confused.Are these people going back, or are they here to enjoy?

"I don't know either, they just said they're here, let's go up." West didn't know either, he just knew that McGrady and the others were upstairs.

No matter what, it's all here anyway, just go up, no matter why he is here.

Ling Yu let it go, and with West and the waiter walking up, a box on the third floor, the waiter pushed open the door.Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

"Wow!!"

With a scream, Ling Yu was frightened. At the same time, all the lights in the box were turned on instantly. After a while, Ling Yu could see clearly what was going on inside, and then couldn't help laughing.

"You guys." Ling Yu laughed helplessly: "Didn't you say to go back? Why are you all here, and you still enjoy it so much."

"Isn't this waiting for you?" McGrady spoke first, picked up the champagne on the table, walked towards Ling Yu, handed it over, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Bryant." After finishing speaking, Maddie did it all.

"You guys, drink as you please, I won't drink with you." Ling Yu chuckled, put down the cup, looked at Mai Di, and said angrily: "Didn't we agree to meet outside the clubhouse?" Why, why don't you come out? Also, I don't answer your phone calls, what's the matter?"

Ling Yu was not angry, he just wanted to know the truth of the matter.

"This." Maddy was embarrassed, glanced to the left and then to the right, not knowing what to say.

"It's none of his business." A voice sounded from behind Ling Yu.
