All-round Athlete

Chapter 413 Crazy Choice (Part 2)

As Xiao Hua announced that the Los Angeles Lakers chose Zhang Guan at the 58th place, the entire Madison Square Garden Theater suddenly sounded a surprised discussion.

"The Lakers actually chose Zhang Guan, that track and field athlete, are Los Angeles people crazy!"

"My God, I heard it right, it's Zhang Guan! Pinch me! Tell me it's not true."

"The time displayed on my phone is June 27th, not April 1st, today is not April Fool's Day!"

"Are the Los Angeles Lakers giving up on themselves? Although they don't have a first-round pick, and the second-round pick is the 58th from the bottom, there is no need to choose a track and field athlete!"

"Although it is already very late, it is still the No. 58 pick. There is no need for the Lakers to waste it like this!"

Discussions continued one after another. The players participating in the election, the invited guests, various teams, and the reporters on the scene were all shocked. Who would have thought that the Lakers would choose Zhang Guan at the 58th place, choose a player who had never played basketball for a day, and did not participate in the competition? Anyone who has tried out for any NBA team?

Below the stage, the new No. 1 pick, Derek Rose, who was sitting near the front, was dazed. He realized that even the moment he was selected as the No. 1 pick, he did not attract so much attention and discussion. The attention of a No. 1 pick in the draft is not as high as that of a 58th pick. The joy of becoming the No. 1 pick in the NBA was immediately diluted by several points.

Rose, who is the No. 1 pick, has this feeling, so of course the second place Beasley, the third-ranked Mayo, the fourth-placed Westbrook, the fifth-placed Kevin Love, etc., will certainly feel the same way, and It feels even stronger. They were selected high in the draft, so they naturally attracted much attention. They were already preparing to show their talents in the NBA, but before they even made their debut, most of the attention was taken away by others.

...

At the same time, in a hotel in New York, many people cursed angrily.

"The Lakers chose Zhang Guan, F**K! It's such a waste of a draft pick, they should choose me! I'm much better than that track and field athlete Zhang Guan!"

"Why, why did the Lakers choose Zhang Guan! He is not a basketball player at all!"

"When I was in the NCAA, I led the team to win the group championship and entered the top 32 of the NCAA. I was not selected, but Zhang Guan was selected. What qualifications does he have to be selected!"

"It's such a waste of money! It's a waste of money! Why is it Zhang Guan! Why should the pick be given to Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan didn't even participate in the NBA rookie training!"

"Shady, must be shady! There are so many outstanding basketball players, the Lakers did not choose, but chose a track and field athlete, it must be shady!"

"The management of the Lakers must have collected money. Zhang Guan spent money to let the Lakers choose him. This is bribery and it's not fair! I don't accept it!"

These scolding are all candidates for this NBA draft. According to the draft rules of the NBA, they are not players in the lottery zone and are not eligible to enter the draft scene, but they can stay in a nearby hotel for one night. Even if they are not selected, there may be other opportunities coming. Pre-match trials and so on.

For these players, many of them used to be influential figures in a certain city or even a certain state. They once achieved excellent results in college, but no one cares about them in the NBA draft. For them, Even a pick at the end of the second round is extremely precious.

When there were only the last three spots left in the second round, everyone looked forward to it, hoping that this luck would come to them, but what they didn't expect was that this very precious spot would actually fall on Zhang Guan. , a person who in their opinion is not a basketball player at all, a person who in their opinion is not qualified to enter the NBA at all.

...

The NBA draft is broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world.

"The Lakers chose Zhang Guan on the 58th! Who is Zhang Guan? It sounds like a Chinese name." The host of the Spanish TV station was talking, and the ESPN broadcast screen happened to show Zhang Guan's photo.

"Oh, this is Zhang Guan, the former king of track and field, and won the Grand Slam last year! I don't know why there is a photo of Zhang Guan. I remember that the person selected by the Lakers is also named Zhang Guan. I Guess it must be that the organizers couldn’t find the photo of that person, so they used Zhang Guan’s photo as a temporary substitute, probably because they think that Asians have similar looks! Americans are really fooling people when they do things!” Spanish TV station The host involuntarily started to complain.

...

"Zhang Guan, this is Zhang Guan's photo! Has ESPN made a mistake? They got the wrong photo!" The German commentator immediately began typing on the laptop beside him to search for Zhang Guan's information.

"Oh, my God, the player information given by ESPN is the same as Zhang Guan's personal information I found on the Internet. They are the same age, height, and weight! There is absolutely no such coincidence in the world, so that is Zhang Guan We know that Zhang Guan is a track and field athlete. He won the Grand Slam in tennis last year, but we never knew that he is also a basketball player. When did he participate in the NBA draft? And he was selected! This too crazy!"

...

"Zhang Guan! It's Zhang Guan! Xiao Hua said Zhang Guan! The Lakers chose Zhang Guan! Great, congratulations Zhang Guan! This is really an unexpected surprise!"

This burst of cheers came from the domestic webcast.

"Last year, we had two players, A Lian and Sun Yue, who were selected by the NBA. A Lian even performed well in the Milwaukee Bucks. This year, we have another athlete selected by the NBA, and that is Zhang Guan! Although Zhang Guan has never played professional basketball, but I think Zhang Guan's physical talent and charisma still moved the NBA team, so they finally chose Zhang Guan!"

Zhang Guan in front of the computer blushed when he heard so many commentators. This commentator is also considered talented, knowing that he is not a basketball player, so he simply said that his "charisma" moved the NBA.

"Well, I'm probably the first person in the world to enter the NBA relying on 'charisma'!" Zhang Guan laughed at himself a little embarrassedly, and then said: "But I really didn't expect that the Lakers would pick me. , Could it be that the CAA company temporarily changed the plan?"

At this time, Zhuge Wenbo's cell phone rang.

"It's from the United States." Zhuge Wenbo picked up the phone and chatted with the other party for a few minutes. Then Zhuge Wenbo said, "It's CAA. They told me that they didn't control the selection of Zhang Guan by the Lakers. This should be the Los Angeles Lakers' own decision."

"The Lakers' own decision? They were going to choose me? It's incredible. The Lakers should know that I have never played professional basketball. They already selected a Sun Yue last year, and they selected me again this year. The Lakers are against China. Is it that special liking?" Zhang Guan said.

"I guess, the Lakers may be for the Chinese market. After all, your market value is much higher than that of Sun Yue." Zhuge Wenbo said and stood up: "I need to find some information about the Lakers."
