NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

"The Magic, with the first pick, chose from..."

New York, Madison Square Garden.

The 2004-05 draft officially began!

League President David Stern stood on the familiar stage and began to read out the Magic's No. 1 pick!

"Don't be nervous!"

Below the stage, Wang Ke was sitting with the person closest to him in this life.

Wang Ke's memories of this arena are not good!

The first stop of the tryout was here, and he failed!

I hope today will be different!

Claudia held Wang Ke's right hand tightly!

Oakley patted Wang Ke on the shoulder.

Curry was praying silently, hoping that his good brother could have a high pick!

Arne Tellem was chatting with Big Ben about the possible choices of each team.

"Dwight! Howard, a high school center from Atlanta Christian Academy, was selected!"

Stern's voice continued to ring!

"Oh! Sh**t!"

"Why did that big fool become the No. 1 pick?"

"He was beaten by Wang!"

"This is so unfair!"

Curry was indignant and started to curse.

"Stop swearing, kid!"

Dell Curry slapped Curry on the head!

The Magic were conservative after all!

They were not completely conservative, choosing high school student Howard instead of the more mature Okafor!

It seems that the prejudice of each team against Wang Ke still exists!

Even if Wang Ke's tryout performance was already good enough!

"Hey——!"

Dell Curry sighed.

He couldn't understand Wang Ke's draft prospects.

In the small green room, Howard jumped up!

"Haha!"

Howard seemed very happy and excited!

No accident!

So what if Wang Ke beat him?

I am the No. 1 pick!

Howard suddenly felt that he was good again!

The biggest illusion in life: being beaten by Wang Ke!

Yeah!

That must be it!

Howard put on a baseball cap and walked to Stern's side!

The last one, the top high school student!

The camera gave Howard's parents who came to the scene.

On the big screen, Howard's parents hugged each other and were proud of their son!

Howard was born in a middle-class family.

His father was a trooper in Georgia, and his mother was a basketball player.

…

In the Bulls' area, Peter Brandon was staring at the name written on the note by General Manager Gar Foreman.

"Peter!"

"You're going too far!"

"Don't you believe me?" Gar Foreman was depressed!

The draft did not originally require scouts to attend!

But Peter Brandon insisted on coming, and Gar Foreman had no choice!

Peter Brandon is a veteran in the team, with too much experience!

"It's always good to keep an eye on it!"

"The Bobcats should choose Emeka Okafor next!"

"Wang will be our player!"

Peter Brandon smiled proudly.

"It's crazy!"

Ga Foreman shook his head, feeling like he was [kidnapped]!

What if Wang Ke fails, will he be directly fired by the team owner?

I can only take a gamble!

...

On the stage, Stern had already taken the small note handed over by the Bobcats.

"Huh?"

Stern exclaimed.

"The Bobcats, with the second pick, chose from..."

Stern paused.

"The center from Charlotte, Wang! Ke!"

Stern raised his eyebrows.

Wang Ke had no league experience, so Stern simply chose to skip it!

…

"Wang Ke has shortcomings, but he has more advantages!"

"After being selected, we have to train him well!"

"Just like Michael back then!"

In the Bulls area, Peter Brandon was still mumbling, so he didn't hear Stern's voice clearly!

Looking up inadvertently, Peter Brandon was stunned!

It's not the Bulls' turn yet, why is Wang Ke already on the stage...

"This is impossible!"

"Too crazy!"

"The whole world is crazy!"

"We can't even choose Wang Ke with the third pick!"

"He has never played basketball seriously before!"

"Why are the Bobcats crazy!"

"Hasn't their target always been Emeka Okafor?"

"Go for it!"

…

When Wang Ke walked onto the stage, he couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard!

He felt that heI am dreaming!

I am the second pick?

Incredible!

Wang Ke feels that he deserves the first round pick!

But he never thought that he would be a lottery pick!

And the second pick!

"Wang Ke, Chinese..."

"Come on!"

Stern shook hands with Wang Ke.

If he is not a Dragon country player, there is no need to pay so much attention to him!

There are always the first, second and third picks in the league every year. Stern said that he can't pay so much attention to him!

The 96 golden generation began to fully influence the overall situation of the league!

The 03 golden generation is growing rapidly and has unlimited potential!

The development of the Dragon country market is currently relying on the bridge across the ocean built by Yao Ming, and it is progressing smoothly!

It is almost time to reap the harvest!

There is no need to make a fuss about a Chinese!

Wang Ke also put on a baseball cap and took a photo with Stern!

The camera was given to Wang Ke's family and friends!

On the big screen, Claudia cried with joy!

Curry was jumping up and down there, as if he was the one who was the runner-up!

Oakley was filled with emotion, he was satisfied that he had not made a mistake!

Dell Curry, Big Ben and Arn Tellem all clapped and nodded.

"Oh my god!"

"Wang Ke's family and friends are so luxurious!"

"Is that Charles, Dell and Big Ben?"

"What is his background?"

The others at the scene were all stunned!

Full of disobedience!

Didn't they say that Wang Ke was born in the slums of Charlotte? Why does he always have so many bigwigs supporting him?

"I did it!"

Wang Ke walked back and hugged Claudia tightly!

"You did it!"

Claudia hugged Wang Ke even tighter!

"It's great to have you here!"

...

"F**k! F**k! F**k!"

There was only one person left in the small green room, Rafael Arruyu!

When he was invited to the green room, Rafael Arau was surprised!

Before the draft, he was predicted to be out of the first round!

Does being invited to the green room now mean a turnaround?

Unfortunately, the turnaround did not appear!

The surprise had long disappeared, and only [shame] remained!

The first round of the draft was over, and Rafael Arau's name was still not called!

The person on the draft stage had changed. Stern was only responsible for the first round of the draft host reading, while the second round of the draft host was the league vice president Adam Silver.

Rafael Arau was already desperate at this time!

He even felt that he was going to be a draft pick!

It was all because of that business game in Charlotte!

It was all caused by Wang Ke!

Rafael Arau clenched his fists, and his veins popped!

"The Bobcats, at the 45th pick, selected the center from Brazil, Rafael Arau!"

Adam Silver's voice rang out!

What?

I was selected by the Bobcats?

I became Wang Ke's teammate?

He was the second pick!

I was a second-round pick?

I really wanted to join the Bobcats...

But!

That's not the case!

Rafael Arruyu felt dizzy!

...

The draft ended successfully!

Some were happy and some were sad!

In the Bobcats area, Petey Tom and Bernie Bickerstaff looked at each other, and they both couldn't tell what they were feeling at the moment!

They selected Wang Ke in an almost nonsensical way!

The world is big, but the boss is the biggest!

With such a jumpy and neurotic boss, the two of them really don't know what the Bobcats will become in the next few seasons!

Just as they were about to say hello to Wang Ke, they found a gray-haired old man rushing over.

Eh?

Isn't this Peter Brandon, the old scout of the Bulls!

"Petie! Bernie!"

"You guys are making a fortune in silence!"

"You guys are doing a great job keeping it a secret!"

"You guys actually snatched Wang Ke away from us!"

Peter Brandon still found it hard to accept!

He finally convinced the management of the Bulls, but the Bobcats snatched him away!

This made Peter Brandon feel ridiculous!

He couldn't help but come over to talk a little and vent his emotions!

"You guys also want to pick Wang Ke?"

Petie Tom asked in surprise.

Is Wang Ke so popular?

There's another team willing to pick him with the top three picks?

"What!"

"Only you guys are allowed to pick?!"

Peter Brandon said angrily.

"Ah huh?"

"If I say we didn't plan to pick Wang Ke, would you believe it?"

Petie Tom asked in surprise.

Is Wang Ke so popular?

There's another team willing to pick him with the top three picks?

"What!"

"Only you guys are allowed to pick?!"

Peter Brandon said angrily.

"Ah huh?"

"If I say we didn't plan to pick Wang Ke, would you believe it?"

Petie Tom asked in surprise.

"Is Wang Ke so popular?"

There's another team willing to pick him with the top three picks?

"What!"

"You ...?"

Peter Brandon said angrily.

"Ah huh?"

"If I say we didn't plan to pick Wang Ke, would you believe it?"

Tom spread his hands.

"I don't believe you!"

...

Accompanied by Alan Tellem, Wang Ke met with the management of the Bobcats.

Two days later, Wang Ke signed his first professional contract!

Starting salary of 3.74 million yuan, 4-year 18 million yuan rookie contract!

The contract form is 2+2, and the last two years are team options.

From this moment on, Wang Ke successfully [escaped] from the slums!

Boss Robert Johnson was there in person.

After signing, taking photos, shooting interviews, and walking down a show, Robert Johnson held a press conference with these materials to explain his concept of freedom and equality!

It is said that the market value of Robert Johnson's company has soared a lot, and has received more investment from Asian capital!

These things have nothing to do with Wang Ke.

There are two things Wang Ke has to do next.

One is to rent a better house near the Charlotte Arena!

The second is to prepare to participate in the summer league starting in a week!

"Senior!"

"Are you really not coming with us?"

Wang Ke and Claudia packed up their things and prepared to move to their new home.

Although the new home is a rented house, the conditions in all aspects are much better than here!

"No!"

"Don't worry! I will take good care of myself!"

"I've said it before, Barton Locke is a good man!"

"If anything happens, I won't get you involved!"

Senior Irving waved his hands repeatedly, signaling Wang Ke and Claudia to leave quickly and stop nagging!

"Brother!"

Claudia ran over and hugged Senior Irving!

"Okay! Go!"

"If he dares to bully you, tell me and I'll beat him to death!"

Senior Irving patted Claudia on the back.

"Brother, you can't beat him!"

"Go! Go! Damn it! Your arm is bent outward!"

Senior Irving pushed Claudia into the taxi.

Wang Ke embraced Claudia, and they waved to Senior Irving together.

The taxi started and drove away!

Goodbye, Berghead Community!

Goodbye to the [dark] life in the past!

"Gone?"

"Gone!"

"I always think that it is not a good idea for you to stay here! Especially, continue to follow me!"

Barton Locke walked out from the corner and stood beside Senior Irving.

"Just for a living!"

"Women can get married!"

"I can't just follow them and eat gigolos!"

Senior Irving smiled.

"I think you can find a woman to accompany you!"

"You look so pitiful now!"

Barton Locke raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it later!"

"Women...trouble!"
