The god-level lottery of the sports world

Zhou’s answer is the opinion of most managers, in their eyes, Hao Shuai is Asian, yellow, inherently deficient in explosiveness, although he has performed well in NCAA tournaments and trials, but there is a high chance that he will not be able to adapt to the physical confrontation of the NBA.

In a later interview, Suns general manager Ryan McDonough, when mentioned by reporters about this issue, even cited the example of the Kings’ selection of Jimmer Fredette in 2011, Fredette is the holder of many three-point records in the NCAA, but now he is no longer in the NBA, the main reason is that the confrontation is not good.

Fredette is still like this, a rookie from Asia, a region where physical fitness has always been weak, a yellow man, how likely is it to adapt to the NBA confrontation?

Hao Shuai has been sitting in the small green room, except for him, there is still Kevin Looney of UCLA, and everyone else has been selected, including his teammate Decker.

At this time, his mentality also underwent some changes.

Although it is enough to complete the task, it is still surprising that these teams look down on themselves so much.

However, if he knew that the reason why these people did not choose him was because he was a yellow person, and he could not fight against him, he would probably have to jump up and kick these people fiercely.

At the end of the first round of the draft, the 30th pick of the Warriors selected Kevin Looney, a power forward from UCLA who was relieved to get up and give Hao an extra glance.

Now, there is really only Hao Shuai left.

After the first round of 30 rookie drafts, Xiao Hua’s task in this draft is completed, and the next second round will be announced by his assistant Stowe Lyon.

Lin Xiaoqing took the initiative to reach out and hold Hao Shuai’s hand at this time.

“A deal happened.” As soon as Leon came out, he did not directly announce the result, but announced a deal.

“Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves made a deal for a 31st pick.”

“Choose Hao Shuai! Choose Hao Shuai! “At this time, the Rockets fans on the sidelines were constantly shouting.

Five minutes later, Leon appeared on stage again.

“The first pick in the second round of the 2015 NBA Draft, the 31st overall pick, the Houston Rockets chooses…”

When Leon read this, he looked at the little green room and said: “Hao Shuai, from the University of Wisconsin, 1.92 meter shooting guard. ”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and getting a chance to win a prize draw, which will be distributed later. ”

After Leon announced the results, a system prompt appeared in Hao Shuai’s mind.

“Yay! Yes! ”

When the Rockets fans on the sidelines heard the results of the draft, they all shouted excitedly in place.

Other fans are envious at this time, obviously Hao Shuai is so good, why didn’t their home team choose before?

Hao Shuai stood up from the small green room, put on the hat sent by the staff, and then walked onto the main stage.

After taking a photo with Lyon, Hao Shuai just stepped down and met Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, and Morey was very excited to see him shaking hands and hugging.

After meeting with Morey, they followed to the press conference area of the scene.

The second-round show generally does not need and will not appear on this occasion, but Hao Shuai is not ordinary in any way.

In fact, when Hao Shuai appeared at the press conference, the reporters who were about to leave immediately sat down again.

Although he was not selected until the 31st pick, Hao Shuai’s popularity before and after the draft was no weaker than that of Tangs.

“Wait a minute, before the interview starts, I have to express my feelings right now, I’m really, really excited right now! Oh! It’s really incredible! Morey, who has always been calm in public, looked extremely excited.

“Mr. Darrell, can you tell us what excites you so much?” The first reporter to stand up by name said with a smile before asking questions.

“Can you believe it? I actually used a second-round pick to draft Hao Shuai, this crazy guy, he’s the MOP of the NCAA Finals, I watched his game live, it’s really incredible, these guys actually made him fall to the second round! Morey looked excited.

“But you chose Decker in the first round?” This reporter is direct.

“No, no, that’s not the same as this.” Without the slightest hesitation, Morey explained directly, “We didn’t think Hao Shuai would fall to that pick before, so we made a draft promise to Dicker, and after that, we kept trying to trade the pick upward, but unfortunately we couldn’t trade another first-round pick.” ”

If it weren’t for Decker being next to him at this moment, Morey would probably have said that if he hadn’t made that promise, he would definitely choose Hao Shuai’s words.

Nicknamed the God Operator, Morey gives people an unfathomable feeling in public, but this time, judging from his emotions and expressions, he really reveals his heart.

The reporter asked questions one after another, and Morey always kept excited to answer one by one.

After ending the questioning session with Morey, the reporter naturally changed the object of the question to Hao Shuai.

“Hao, we know that the predictions of the major media before the draft were all in the lottery area, and we also saw that it was not so satisfactory, and the 31st place was selected, do you have anything to say?” The reporter’s question was straightforward.

“I’m thankful to the Rockets, they chose me out of trust in me.” Hao Shuai smiled and did not show anything because he was selected in the second round.

“We all know that there were reports that a number of teams made draft promises to you, but they didn’t end up selecting you, do you have anything to say? Or do you have something to say to them? The reporter then asked.

When the reporter asked here, Hao Shuai continued to smile and said lightly: “Thank you for looking down on me.” ”
