The god-level lottery of the sports world

Lin Xiaoqing withdrew his expectant gaze, and if he said it, he really had some excessive expectations.

Hao Shuai couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xiaoqing more at this time, how could she look more nervous than herself?

“The second pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers pick…” Xiao Hua began to read the Lakers’ choice.

Kaminsky and Decker both looked at the stage with some expectation, and this is the rookie express network’s prediction of Hao Shuai.

“DeAngelo Russell, from The Ohio State University, 1.96m point guard/shooting guard.”

The results announced by Xiao Hua made Russell and his team excited, and Decker and Kaminsky couldn’t help but shake their heads.

“It’s not fair, Hao, you burst De Angelo, you also burst Carl, but they didn’t choose you.” Decker was somewhat indignant.

“Sam, take it easy.” Hao Shuai said with a smile, his mentality is the most relaxed among all the people who enter the small green room, anyway, as long as he is selected, he can complete the task.

“With the third pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jahir Okafor, a 2.11m center from Duke University.”

“Another player who was blown up by you.” Decker muttered.

After the 76ers, the Knicks, Magic, Kings, and Nuggets made their choices, but Hao Shuai’s name was never mentioned.

All the way to the ninth pick, this is the NBA draft draft prediction for Hao Shuai.

Kaminsky also looked at the main stage a little nervously at this time, although his previous tryout in the Hornets was not as shocking as Hao Shuai. Gorgeous, but also a good performance.

Xiao Hua came out of the backstage, holding the Hornets’ final selection in his hand.

Lin Xiaoqing also looked nervously on the stage at this time, this is Hao Shuai’s most likely to be selected for the position.

“Ninth pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, selected by the Charlotte Hornets, Frank Kaminsky, from the University of Wisconsin, 2.13m center.”

When Xiao Hua announced the results, Kaminsky jumped up excitedly, and his relatives and friends around him congratulated him at the first time.

“Congratulations.” Hao Shuai also got up and congratulated his teammate.

Kaminsky wore a Hornets hat on stage to take a photo with Xiao Hua, his expression was quite excited, and after the group photo, he was then taken to the interview area by reporters.

Lin Xiaoqing’s hand on the table involuntarily clenched into a fist at this time.

Hao Shuai stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xiaoqing’s hand and said with a smile: “Take it easy, my coach Lin, the lottery is not over yet.” ”

Lin Xiaoqing nodded, and his fist slowly loosened.

The first-round draft continued, and one by one rookies got up from the little green house and walked onto the stage, but Hao Shuai’s name was not mentioned until the end of the lottery.

At this time, on the other side of the stage, the rookies and general managers who were previously selected were successively interviewed by media reporters.

The Lakers’ general manager Kupchek brought Russell, who they drafted, to the media at this time.

Toward the end of the interview, Russell had left for the media interview, and a reporter from ESPN asked Kupchek a question while he was still there.

“Mr. Mitch, we all know that in this year’s NCAA finals, Hao Shuai led his team all the way to the championship, he also won the MOP, and all the previous trials were very amazing. Yan, why didn’t the team consider choosing him? ”

This is a very sensitive topic, especially on this occasion, after the question is asked, the reporters on the scene are quiet, but they all look at Kupchek for the first time, which is obviously what they all care about.

“Yes, Hao is a very good player, I have to agree with that, he also has a big heart and is a historical three-point shooter.” Kupchak said with a sudden change of tone, “But in recent years, overseas players have not played well in the NBA, you know, we have the No. 2 pick, which is too risky, and if it’s a lower signing, maybe we will really make that choice.” ”

Kupchek gave a positive answer, which made other journalists realize that the issue could be raised.

Hao Shuai was never selected, and the general managers who came to interview after that were also asked this question one after another.

In particular, the Hornets, who were previously predicted to be the most likely to select Hao Shuai, have become the focus of many reporters’ attention.

“Mr. Richie, we know that the major websites before the game predicted that you were the most likely team to select Hao Shuai, and Hao Shuai also performed the best in your team’s tryout, why did you choose Frank Kaminsky in the end?” This time the question was asked by a reporter from T.N.T.

The general manager of the Hornets is Asian-American Rich Zhou, who paused for a moment before saying in the face of a reporter’s question: “Hao Shuai is a very good player, his performance in our tryout is really crazy, but to be honest…”

Zhou said as he changed his tone

“As a person who was born in Asia, I know how poor the basketball foundation there is, and I also know that yellow people naturally do not have an advantage in this sport, I am not targeting Hao Shuai, but the draft is a gamble, looking more at the talent of the players, Charlotte needs the future, not the present.”
