NBA: A collection of super busts

Chapter 71: The Draft Begins!

After his tryout with the Nuggets, Ye Feng went to try out with the Raptors again, and once again gave O'Neal a very generous offer, making O'Neal so happy that he almost wanted to hand over the head coach position to Ye Feng.

Well, just two days before Ye Feng's second trial, O'Neal was officially appointed as the team's new head coach.

This time, Ye Feng finally met Glenwood and they had a very pleasant conversation. Glenwood even apologized to Ye Feng for what happened last time. The two talked for a long time, and the atmosphere this time was much more harmonious and comfortable than before.

Unfortunately, Ye Feng never received Glenwood's words, "We will select you in the fourth pick," before he left.

At this moment, bad news arrived.

Carmelo Anthony announced that he will no longer accept tryouts from any team.

Clearly, he has received a promise from the Cavaliers that he will definitely be selected by them with the second overall pick.

Then, Wade excitedly found Ye Feng and shared the good news with him.

"Ye, Chicago has made a promise to me! As long as I'm not selected in the top draft picks, they will definitely choose me and bring me home!"

"Fight for his hometown, and take over from Michael Jordan to become the team's new leading shooting guard!"

"This feels amazing, like a dream. Ye, I'm even a little conflicted now. Do you think the Bulls are better, or a top-five pick? What if another team suddenly jumps in and snatches Chicago away? I'm so nervous and excited!"

"By the way, have any teams given you draft promises? Nuggets? Raptors?"

Hearing Wade's excited tone, Ye Feng really wanted to drag him over and give him a good beating.

His own brother is doing so well, but his own draft position remains uncertain and shrouded in mystery.

Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry, because he had been reviewing his performance during the trial period.

All he could say was that he had done his best, reached the pinnacle of his abilities.

He's done everything he can. If the managers and administrators don't choose him, there's nothing he can do.

With this in mind, Ye Feng completely let go of the pressure.

I've already accepted the time travel, so what's there to worry about in terms of which order I was chosen?

With this in mind, Ye Feng went to New Jersey to watch another final match.

Then, they were met with boos from the entire New Jersey crowd.

His reputation as a team killer has spread far and wide over the past month.

This was definitely Reid's doing. As he himself said, he knew many reporters and knew many ways to help Ye Feng generate buzz and gain attention.

This is why when Ye Feng came to watch the game at the New Jersey home stadium, the entire stadium was like a thunderbolt to the eyes of the fans!

The large screen at the scene displayed Ye Feng's current record.

In the matches he watched, the home team had a record of 0 wins and 3 losses!

A few hours later, the number became 0 wins and 4 losses.

The Nets lost.

They lost the crucial Game 5, giving the Spurs a match point, and to make matters worse, the next two games will be played in San Antonio.

The Nets are on the brink of elimination.

In this situation, their team leader, Kidd, was relatively relaxed. After the game, he specifically sought out Ye Feng and said, "Kid, for the next game, don't let me... no, you better make sure I see you in the arena!"

This amusing scene was naturally captured by reporters "accidentally" and quickly posted online, where it began to circulate.

At the post-game press conference, Kidd joked, "I'll cover that kid's airfare, hotel, and ticket costs. I can even get him to do something really fun."

"As long as he can be in San Antonio for the next two games."

Unfortunately, Ye Feng didn't go.

This final round was incredibly boring. Both sides were playing in the most dull and unattractive way. Ye Feng only watched one game of this kind and would never watch any more.

The Nets thus lost Game 6 of the series.

The San Antonio Spurs became the NBA champions in the 02-03 season!

Their second championship in franchise history, Duncan's second Finals MVP, and after they won the championship, David Robinson announced his retirement with tears in his eyes!

With two championship rings, he left the professional arena with a perfectly fulfilling life.

With the NBA season officially over, the vast majority of players in the league will enjoy a long vacation to recover from the pain and fatigue accumulated throughout the season.

Only the fringe players still have to continue training, participating in the Summer League, and looking for jobs.

And those super rookies who are about to enter the league are ready!

On June 27, 2003, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Mecca of American basketball, countless fans gathered early, waiting for this incredibly exciting day to officially begin!

The NBA Draft is about to begin!

Outside the stadium, excited and expectant fans watched the big screen, eager to see which of those super rookies would be chosen.

Inside the venue, all the rising stars were already in their places.

Wearing a sharp dark gray suit and a blue shirt, Wade entered the "Green Room" early. This is an area specially prepared by the league for top rookies, where those talents who are considered to have lottery potential and can be selected in the top thirteen are gathered.

Wade, who was excited, originally wanted to come here with his good friend Ye Feng, but his girlfriend's family wouldn't allow it; they insisted on coming with him.

Unfortunately, Wade had no choice but to go with his family and became one of the first people to arrive there.

Then, more and more players and their families entered the area.

Hinrich, Collison, TJ Ford, Chris Bosh...

Then, a burst of wild cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd. The brightest star of the night, the high school student who was considered the number one draft pick, swaggered over, dressed in a stylish and eye-catching pure white suit, surrounded by his mother and friends.

Judging from his appearance, it's hard to tell that this guy is only 18 years old. He seems unusually precocious and shows no signs of nervousness in the face of this situation. He even politely greets all the newcomers.

Moreover, he clearly had a good relationship with Wade, as he went up to Wade to chat for a few minutes and wish each other good luck.

Then, another cheer erupted as another top rookie made his debut tonight: Carmelo Anthony!

This guy's cornrows were still very eye-catching, and although his light gray suit wasn't as flamboyant as James's, it was still quite attention-grabbing. But after glancing at James, he couldn't help but mutter, "I should have worn that purple one."

================================================== ===========================

Thank you to all the brothers for your support and love, and thank you to all the brothers who gave me feedback; it was all from the bottom of my heart, really.

I started writing this book after carefully reading everyone's feedback on the previous book. I also thought a lot before writing it, hoping to improve it and make the results even better.

The good news is that there has been real progress. Both the grades and rankings have improved significantly, and this afternoon I even received an exciting private message from the website.

Sanjiang!

Thank you all so much for your support, for your clicks, monthly tickets, comments, recommendations, and criticisms. Of course, I am most grateful for your love.

Then there were some criticisms of this book, which I read.

Many readers have said the book is padded, but of course, that's not my intention. Padding shouldn't happen until after 200 million words, right? (How shameless of me)

I wanted to write it more richly and in detail, to make the protagonist's story more complete.

But perhaps we went a bit too far, and we'll try to speed things up as soon as possible.

But anyway, thank you all for your support. I will read all the praise, comments, and jokes from the brothers, and I hope everyone will continue to comment, continue to support, and continue to watch.

But in any case, the pace will pick up later on.

Keep it up, guys! If it's a really good product, I'll definitely give everyone some perks.

PS: By the way, since we've already reached the Three Rivers, let's make a promise: I'll try to get 10 words on the first day after it's released!

If you're a fan of the previous book, you'll know I'm not bragging. The previous book did terribly, but I still kept my promise to update a lot on the first day. If I remember correctly, I updated 7 words.

So, go for it!
