Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 1 Straight to the draft scene
"In the 2010 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round, the Washington Wizards selected John Wall from the University of Kentucky..."

With NBA Commissioner David Stern's voice getting higher and higher, the cheers gradually resounded through Madison Square Garden!
On the huge screen in the center of the ceiling, Brother Wall in a gray suit was full of spring breeze, walking towards the stage and waving to the crowd of spectators in the stadium.

In contrast to the fierce cheers from the audience, the players in the Little Green Room were dead silent.

Every player was praying silently, and the next name Stern came to was his own.

Wu Di loosened his tie. This is the third year of his rebirth. With 99% hard work and 1% system, he successfully grabbed a bench in the small green house.

Suddenly, the agent next to him, Jeff Schwartz, patted his leg.

Wu Di frowned and looked at the BlackBerry in his hand. It was a text message with only one word: Sorry!

The point is, the sender - Gar Foreman, general manager of the Chicago Bulls...

Jeff Schwartz quickly typed a sentence on the BlackBerry keyboard: Don't worry, the Bulls' No. 17 pick is guaranteed. Our focus is on the Clippers' No. 8 pick [smile]
Wu Di understood Schwartz's kindness, but he still couldn't help but feel heartbroken. It was an opportunity to hold hands with Rose in the Windy City. Jar Forman was really blind!
However, in the team lounge at the moment, the Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor, nicknamed the millennium second child, looked at Wu Di's scouting report with a tangled expression:
"Name: Wu Di;

University: The Ohio State University;

Honors: Naismith Award; NBC All-American;
Freshman statistics: 24.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals per game;

Draft template: Charles Barkley\Ron Artest;

Position: Swingman;

Advantages: Wu Di has excellent strength, and his physical talent is the top level among players of his age. He can score in any way, including outside shots, post-up singles, and breakthrough layups. He is still a very good player. Rebounder and defender.

Disadvantages: Lack of passing ability, weak offensive ability with the ball, scoring is more dependent on the delicate passing of the point guard, his physical fitness is very prominent in the NCAA, after entering the NBA, he is only at the upper-middle level, and his height is only 1 meters , The original elite rebounding ability needs to be re-verified. "

How much Baylor likes to pick players with explosive physical fitness, just look at the Clippers lineup, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Mo Williams...

Especially Mo Williams, although he is a point guard and has a famous name, but he is unreasonable and still sits firmly in the starting position of the Clippers.

But Asian muscular men?

Racial talent does not match!

Just last season, Yao Ming was reimbursed for the season due to injury at his peak, and an unconfirmed rumor spread throughout the major teams.

That is the injury caused by Yao Ming's weight gain.

Lord Baylor is a black man, but having the color of a minority does not mean that he is free from racial prejudice.

"Is a yellow man worthy of a muscular armor...or should I choose Aiminu? But Aiminu's stats are much worse than Wu's..."

Lord Belle murmured, at this last moment, his old problem of entanglement had occurred again.

This is the first decision of the new season. He is quite old, and he doesn't want to be humiliated by the team owner, Donald Sterling, that white-skinned pig.

However, David Stern's next words instantly depressed his entanglement:
"In the 2010 NBA Draft, the third overall pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected Wu Di from China, who came from Ohio State University..."

Lord Baylor was a little confused, because according to various draft predictions, Wu Di has never entered the top five...

Whether he chooses or not is his business, but if others force him to choose, that is another matter!
"Damn it, did that old boy Riley get hairspray on his head?"

Pat Riley, who is known as a fortune teller, cut off his beard, and Lord Baylor felt extremely upset in an instant.

Especially thinking of the fact that he himself led the Lakers to the finals eight times and was runner-up eight times, and this old boy won the championship in the first year with the Lakers.

And this old boy coached the Lakers in his first year and he was a championship. He was born just to slap himself in the face!

Thinking of this, Lord Baylor almost cursed out.

He frowned and looked at the big screen. Seeing Wu Di's face that reached the average face value of readers at the starting point, he couldn't help cursing anymore:
"What the hell, he's so handsome, and let that old boy Riley find a bargain!"

It stands to reason that appearance should not be considered in the draft, but if the appearance is particularly outstanding, it is a different matter.

After all, the NBA is a business league. If the players are really handsome, even if they manage the drinking fountains, they will give more shots.

As a guest of Hollywood, Giorgio Armani's lifelong friend, Pat Riley understands this truth.

Therefore, after he saw Wu Di's handsome face that looked like Keanu Reeves from the NCAA game video, he immediately made a decision.

What's more, this is a player from China, so the commercial value is needless to say.

Sensing the envious and jealous eyes of Lord Baylor behind him, Pat Riley's mouth twitched, and he instantly turned into an old dragon king with a crooked mouth.

On stage, Wu Di put on the Heat's Little Red Riding Hood and took a group photo with Stern who was smiling like a flower.

However, Wu Di, who has become Tanhualang, is a bit like mushrooms at this moment...

Two and a half years of practice!
Just because it was half a year longer than two years!
In exchange for the 2010 NBA No. [-] show!

He had read the draft predictions with his agent before, and the highest was the eighth pick of the Clippers. How could he know that Pat Riley chose him at the third pick without saying hello!

The third pick is Tanhuaxiu. There is no doubt that the name Tanhua is destined to be an extraordinary position.

Jordan, Chamberlain, Grant Hill, Bob Cousy, James Harden, Carmelo Anthony and many other superstars all made their debuts.

Now, it's Wu Di's turn.

In China, the NBA live broadcast room is also boiling at this moment:
"Reasonable!"

"Very reasonable!"

"That's the choice!"

Zhang - reasonable - guidance - Weiping shouted repeatedly in the live broadcast room!

Xu Jicheng: "Everyone, don't blame our director Zhang for being so excited. This is the first time that our Chinese outside players have such a high pick in the NBA!"

Yang Yi: "Haha!"

Xu Jicheng: "It's no surprise that Wu Di has such stats in the NCAA that he is in the top three. His college teammate Evan Turner is in the same situation as him. He is the No. [-] pick this time. The Ohio State twins are reunited in the NBA. !"

Zhang Weiping: "This season, the Heat have the Flash Wade and Super Mario Chalmers, but they lack 3D players like Wu Di. Therefore, the Heat's choice of Wu Di cannot be more reasonable!"

Yang Yi: "In fact, the NBA draft mainly depends on physical talent. It is nothing to play well in the college league. You have to adapt to the physical confrontation in the NBA. Otherwise, your potential will not be fulfilled. Wu Di's physical strength shown in the physical test stage this time Talent, it will definitely give us yellow people a face! Everyone looks at his draft template, the only Barkley in the flying generation, and the only Artest in the compassionate generation, they are all players with top physical talents..."

……

From the field to the field, Wu Di was surrounded by a group of sports reporters in an instant, and asked about his feelings:
"Congratulations! Wu, can you share with us your current mood?"

There are questions about future plans:
"Mr. Tanhualang, how will you help the Heat?"

"Rising star, how do you plan to transfer the talent from the NCAA to the NBA?"

Someone who asked questions for fans:

"Big handsome guy, is there anything you want to say to your fans?"

"Wu Di, can you say a few words to the hometown fans in front of the TV?"

……

Wu Di answered one by one with a smile. Before the draft, he prepared a mock interview with his agent Jeff Schwartz.

So, not to mention these questions, he can answer fluently even when asked about the birth date.

"You're from Ohio State University, you're half-Ohio, what do you think of the recent rumors that LeBron James is approaching the Heat management?"

Wu Di looked at the beautiful Fox reporter who asked this question, and thought why don't you ask her birthday?
Jimei, your question is a scam!

If he answers that Lao Zhan is welcome to join, he will betray the Ohioans. If he answers that Lao Zhan wants to become the real No.1 in the league, he must first win the championship in the Cavaliers, and he will offend his new club, the Heat...

Where is Lao Zhan going? Is every Ohioan obliged to comment?

Then why don't you ask the Golden State Dunk King?These two people might have come out of the same delivery room.

Wu Di coughed lightly, changed the subject and said:
"I don't know what Moose thinks, but the Flash Dwyane Wade is my idol, so I want to play with the Flash in my dreams. I am very grateful to Mr. Riley for letting me join the Heat!"

Then, he yelled into the camera:
"Flash, here I come!"
