From today on is the king

Chapter 986 985. Who Should I Choose?

A few days of preparation for the draft passed quickly, and on June 6, the day of the draft came.

The draft can be regarded as the start of the new season, followed by the free market, summer league, etc., and then enters the draft period.

Every year in the draft, no matter how small the draft year is, it attracts a lot of attention. Who knows if there will be a rookie who was not expected at the time to make a counterattack in the future?
When a rookie counterattacks, fans who are prepared can open their mouths and say, "I was optimistic about him back then. He was selected with the XX pick in the draft. At that time, I thought that the XX team picked up a treasure in this draft..." Such words.

After providing the draft reference candidates to the management, Liu Mang rested at home for three days, talked with Alexia, held back the playoffs, spent two days with Levia, played video games with Little Lolita, went shopping and so on.

The league has been a little too calm this time around. It is not as turbulent as it was before the start of the offseason in the past few years. There have been some transactions, but they are all small-scale transactions of role players.

More rumors are about some veteran free agents jumping out of the contract and preparing to choose their next home. Moreover, these veterans who are about to hug their thighs have not made a decision immediately. They are going to wait until those favorite teams stabilize their core structure before making a decision.

The peaceful trading day before the draft was passed in such an uneventful manner. Today, Liu Mang and Little Lolita stood in front of the TV early, waiting for the draft.

"Uncle, when are you going to pick up grandma and grandpa to play?" Dinah asked while tugging at Liu Mang's clothes.

Growing up with a single parent, she has never seen her grandparents, and the family relationship with her grandpa is very indifferent. Little Lolita is very obsessed with the care of her grandparents, which is rare.

"Dinah, you really want your uncle to leave early? Isn't it too heartless? I'll talk about it after I finish the draft." Liu Mang started to get jealous, and pinched little Lolita's face crazily.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I can't take you with me! You are not yet 14 years old, you can't travel abroad alone, and I'm not your guardian." Liu Mang was also very regretful.

The Filipino maids are hired, and there are only two Filipino maids, one to take care of Alexia, and the other to help Levia take care of the family. Originally, these things were Alexia’s affairs, and she also enjoyed them, but now her belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Although a Filipino maid was hired, Levia still had to stay in Atlanta to take care of Alexia. When she was pregnant, she needed another gossip person to gossip with her, otherwise she would be unable to talk about many things and would suffer from postpartum depression.

Hearing this, Alexia wasn't depressed yet, and little Lolita was a little depressed: "Dinah still wants to travel alone with uncle, really...why didn't mom give birth to Dinah four years earlier!"

"Pfft..." Liu Mang was drinking a drink, the season was finally over, he could have a drink and let himself go, when he heard what little loli said, he spit out a mouthful of water.

The benefits of having a servant are now reflected, the Filipino maid immediately came up to wipe up the drink that Liu Mang spewed out, and handed Liu Mang a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Dinah, your mother will be upset if you say that!" Liu Mang patted Little Lolita on the head after wiping his mouth.

"Dinah just wants to go on a trip with uncle!" Dinah said with a smile. She is not ignorant anymore, she is already 10 years old. Children these days know as much as adults. Of course, things like experience and emotional intelligence must be much worse.

Dinah also knew that she was born four years earlier... Levia gave birth to her at the age of 19. If she was born four years earlier, it would be a bit too much... Looking around, she was relieved that her mother was not there.

"Uncle, who are we going to choose this year? Will there be a deal?" Dinah thought it would be better to change the subject so that her mother wouldn't hear it.

"I don't know. I just provided a few candidates. I also want to see how they will be selected. Let's look forward to it." Liu Mang turned on the TV and waited to watch the draft for a while.

"Okay..." Little Loli also moved to Liu Mang's side, watching TV together...

……

The 2005 NBA draft, after two hours of various predictions, pre-draft live interviews, highlights of popular rookies, post-selection interviews, and some public training camp footage, officially started at 2005:6 pm on June 27, [-]!

Seeing that it was about to start, Liu Mang called out to the two enigmatic handicapped weaver girls who were learning to knit sweaters in the living room: "Leviia, Aida, the talent show has begun!"

"Hey, Aida, slow down!"

"Oh……"

Levia and Alexia came to the small living room where Liu Mang and Dinah were watching TV.

The other two girls and Liu Mang were very helpless about Alexia's less and less "cautious" character after she got pregnant, but they gradually got used to it.

It is normal for pregnant women to have some changes in temperament.

Sit together, ESPN's live broadcast, David - Stern just appeared in the TV screen, began the draft.

After a three-minute opening remark, David Stern opened the first envelope he received and began to announce: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 3 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected with the first overall pick... Andrew Bogut, an Australian player from the University of Utah!"

When David Stern opened the envelope, Bogut stood up confidently and hugged his parents, agents, friends, college coaches and others.

The Bucks, who got the No. [-] pick, chose Andrew Bogut without any suspense. Bogut became the second foreign No. [-] pick.

"Uncle, it really is this guy who became the No. 22 pick. He is very good. We watched the University of Utah game that afternoon, Uncle, you were not there. He scored 30 points and [-] rebounds against the North Carolina No. [-]!" Little Lolita looked clear, and the girl version of the ball master appeared.

At this time, Bogut was too much attention, and there were almost no American basketball fans who didn't know Bogut.

With a successful example like Duncan, Bogut is no less favored than Duncan back then.

The performance of Bogut University in the past few years is stronger than that of Duncan University. The All-American team won the first vote, the Wooden Award winner, ESPN Player of the Year, Naismith Player of the Year, Associated Press Player of the Year, Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year...

This year, the NCAA couldn’t find any player who could match Bogut’s university honors. Except for not winning the NCAA championship, Bogut almost won all the honors. In addition, his average rebounds per game ranked second in the NCAA, and the number of rebounds in a single game was 21 new highs in the NCAA after the 30st century. He participated in all 26 games and won a double-double, ranking first in the NCAA...

Levia and Alexia, two masters of football, also agreed with Little Lolita's words.

"Uh... I think he is a parallel importer." Liu Mang weakly expressed a different opinion.

"Huh? Why? He is very similar to Duncan! He has a hook, can throw shots, is physically strong, and defends well..." Little Loli counted Bogut's strengths, then glared at Liu Mang and said, "Uncle, you can't discriminate against him just because he is white!"

"..." Liu Mang was speechless, but he could understand.

Just like Yao Ming appearing in a yellow race, it is quite rare for a white champion to appear. The last white champion was Bill Wharton. If there was no Bogut, the number of white champions would be the same as the number of yellow race champions...

It's just...Liu Mang didn't expect that white people would feel discriminated against...Thinking that Larry Bird was only selected with the sixth overall pick, it's not surprising. Thinking about it, Larry Bird was the only super god in NCAA history who led the team to 33 consecutive victories and won the NCAA championship.

Just when Liu Mang and Xiao Luoli were about to quarrel about whether Bogut would become a parallel importer, the interview after Bogut was selected came.

When Bogut was asked by an Australian reporter about the Australian basketball star Luke Longley, Bogut replied: "Comparing Longley to me is humiliating me. You should compare Tim Duncan to me."

"..."

"..."

Both Liu Mang and Little Lolita were speechless. Even if Liu Mang knew that Bogut was a big mouthed and arrogant man, when he heard this with his own ears, he felt that he was really too arrogant!

Bogut is not Liu Mang. What Liu Mang told Duncan was that Duncan was old and the future belonged to him, but he didn’t say that he was already comparable to Duncan. Bogut was still a rookie...not even a rookie, so he just talked about it...

"Well, you are courageous, as expected of a first-round rookie that we white people rarely see!" Little Lolita forced a wave of praise.

"..." Liu Wei looked at the little loli who wanted to save face, and really didn't know who he learned from!
Just when Bogut's words stunned the fans, players, expert media, etc. in front of the TV, the hesitation time for the Bobcats with the second pick was about to end, and David Stern walked out with the second envelope.

ESPN commentator Du Lin reacted from being shocked by Bogut's words, and quickly analyzed: "What the Bobcats lack now is a point guard. Williams from the University of Illinois and Paul from Wake Forest University are the most suitable for the Bobcats. I don't know how Jordan will choose..."

At this point David Stern opened the second envelope and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2005 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats selected...Raymond Felton from the University of North Carolina..."

As soon as this choice came out, everyone else was okay. Coach Sloan, who was in the draft office of the Jazz, was stimulated to stand up!
This... this... Deron and Paul were not selected?Who should he choose!

　In the early morning, there is still one chapter left, and today it is already 100 words. .Count the morning hours... oh my. . .Asking for tickets, let me give you a few 15 points by the way, every new week. .Everyone wants to see [-] tipping seats full. . .
