I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

Chapter 11: Draft is over

At the end of the first round, there is naturally no Wang Dachun's name. Other teams don't even know who Wang Dachun is, let alone choose him.

The closer Wang Dachun is to the Mavericks' pick, the more nervous Wang Dachun. Although he got the draft promise of Jr. Nelson, what if the Mavericks' brains do not choose him?

After Stern stepped down, another bald head came up. Fleck chatted and told him that this bald head was Xiao Hua, the vice president of the league, and he was responsible for announcing the second round pick.

Seeing Wang Dachun tense up, Frank relieved him not to be nervous. It doesn’t matter if he can’t be elected. There are so many people from all over the world running for the election. A total of 60 people are selected, and not everyone of these 60 people may be able to sign with the team. , It's useless to be nervous.

Wang Dachun asked in surprise:

"Isn't it necessary to sign a contract after being selected?"

"Yeah! Don't you know?"

Wang Dachun scolded in his heart that I knew something!

Xiao Hua on the stage has already begun to announce the second round.

…………

The 35th overall pick, the Los Angeles Clippers chose DeAndre Jordan, a 211 cm center from the University of Texas.

The 45th overall pick, the San Antonio Spurs choose from...

The 50th overall pick, the Seattle SuperSonics chose from...

With the 51st overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks chose Wang Dachun, a center 215 cm tall from China.

""Oh my goodness, buddy you were chosen! You are really selected! "

Frank beside him jumped up excitedly, hugged Wang Dachun and shouted.

Wang Dachun came back to his senses immediately. He had been thinking about the issue that he might not be able to sign a contract when he was selected. When he suddenly heard that he was selected, he trembled with excitement.

Frank pushed him to get him on stage, Wang Dachun stiffly walked to the draft stage and picked up the Mavericks hat on his head.

On stage, bald Xiao Hua shook hands and hugged him. He didn't know what the other party said. He just nodded and walked off the stage with a smirk and came to the interview area.

This is when Frank came to him. Many microphones asked him questions. Wang Dachun was still in a daze. Frank saw him standing stupidly and quickly answered the question for him.

Among them was a Chinese reporter who asked him in Chinese if he could accept a separate interview. Wang Dachun came back to his senses only then, and it seemed that the Chinese nodded and said yes.

Gu Yao Hupu.com's trainee reporter, because no Chinese players were found in this year's draft, the editor-in-chief only sent him and a photographer to the United States to conduct some routine interviews and reports.

At the end of the elective course, when they were ready to pack their things and were about to get up and go, they suddenly heard Xiao Hua on the stage reciting a Chinese name and Chinese name.

I saw an Asian walking towards the draft platform and discovered that a big man, who should be the Chinese who I read just now, was selected by the Mavericks.

How is this possible? I don’t even know that there is a Chinese draft this year! Moreover, the name Wang Dachun is very unfamiliar, and he has no impression in the domestic basketball world. He has made such a big mistake, and he did not know that there was such a person.

I quickly sorted out my interview equipment. When I came to the interview area, many people came here to interview Wang Dachun.

Although it is said that he was selected at the end of the second round, the sudden appearance of the big Chinese man is also a lot of news for these reporters. Inside the hands of reporters who interviewed. Most have a draft prediction table. And they didn't see this Chinese on the watch, they were somewhat curious.

After Gu Yao got the permission to interview alone, she waited quietly next to her. Wang Dachun's position next to Gu Yao after being briefly interviewed.

Adjust it slightly. After giving the photographer an ok gesture, the interview began:

"Hello Wang Dachun, first of all congratulations on being selected by the Mavericks."

In fact, Gu Yao also looked back at the electronic display board on the lobby just now, showing Wang Dachun's name and the team that chose him.

"Thank you, I didn't expect to be selected."

Wang Dachun didn’t answer honestly, because he knew that many of his questions could not be answered normally. Could it be that I knew that I would be selected? Then someone would definitely ask you why you only knew that you would be selected...

"I'm very sorry. Because we did not predict that you will be selected, we know very little about you. I don't know which team you also play in China?"

"Um, I didn't play in a domestic team."

"Isn't it at home? Is it abroad? What level of league is it?"

Wang Dachun didn't know how to answer, but could only say half-truth:

"I used to play football and I was a goalkeeper. I switched to basketball because I was too tall."

Gu Yao had such an expression. No wonder she didn't know that she was a football player before, and she didn't think much about it. As a basketball reporter, she didn't want to ask football questions.

"You didn't find you in this year's joint training. Is something delayed? And you were selected by the Dallas Mavericks. Have you ever accepted an invitation from their seniors?"

Wang Dachun mumbled in his heart, he didn't know what joint training was before, and when he came to the United States, the joint training seemed to have ended, but he still answered:

"Well, yes, because some things did not come to the United States in time to participate in the joint trial, but I received an invitation from the Dallas Mavericks to practice training."

Wang Dachun asked some questions that didn't have much water, and the interview was over. And Gu Yao. After saying goodbye. When Frank walked out, he just ran into a group of Nelson.

Little Nelson smiled and said hello to Wang Dachun:

"Boy, oh, I should say sir. Congratulations on becoming a member of the Mavericks."

Wang Dachun also replied slightly excitedly:

"Thank you sir, thank you very much for choosing me, I will definitely play hard."

"Wang, you don't need to be polite, just let me introduce this to you."

Speaking, Little Nelson pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said:

"This is your head coach this season, Rick Carlisle."

Wang Dachun hurriedly greeted the head coach. Coach Rick just nodded politely and didn't mean to talk to Wang Dachun.

After chatting with Wang Dachun, Xiao Nelson encouraged and praised Wang Dachun for his great improvement in English. Before leaving, he told him that a candidate for the Mavericks would contact him soon and tell him what to do next.

On the second day of the draft, Wang Dachun received a call from the Dallas staff asking him to report to the team before July 10, because he is likely to be with the team to participate in the summer league held in the Rocky Mountains this year.

When Wang Dachun heard the news, the whole thing was not good, right? I have just been selected to play a game! This is too fast!
