The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 21 The Next Stop Is New Jersey

Richard Jefferson breathed a sigh of relief, somewhat regretful.

Jefferson felt that his trial training with the Clippers was not bad, and his performance was no worse than that of Tyson Chandler, who was facing the same field at the time.

But the Clippers may need a big man more.

In fact, big men are generally favored in this year's draft.

In the young year of the draft, the insider is selected, and the risk taken is relatively small.

The Atlanta Hawks at No. 3 picked a big man, not surprisingly.

Spanish insider Paul Gasol from Europe.

The 20-year-old Gasol is already well-known as a talented player in European basketball circles.

Scouts from the NBA have long coveted his talent, especially his teamwork-focused game style and selfless style of play, making him the most desired overseas player for NBA teams.

Arenas, who had participated in the Eagles' trial training, angrily kicked the TV cabinet.

This is what he considers the ideal draft position.

It's a pity that it's no longer with him.

Arenas suddenly had an ominous premonition.

With the No. 4 pick, the Chicago Bulls trusted Jordan's judgment and vision.

They also selected a high school post player-Eddie Curry.

Curry, who is shaped like a small shark, is known as the "three treasures of high school" in the 2001 class along with Kwame Brown and Tyson Chandler.

Chicago was ecstatic to get Curry at No. 4. They thought Atlanta would take Curry at No. 3.

Just imagine, who would let go of a giant big man who can do somersaults with his head in his arms!

Chicagoans look forward to this guy who has practiced wrestling and gymnastics since he was a child to re-raise the Chicago Bulls' battle flag.

When the draft came to the fifth place, the first outside player finally appeared.

The Golden State Warriors chose Jason Richardson of Michigan State University as a shooting guard. He won the NCAA championship with the team during his freshman season in 2000!

Is a spring player with championship genes.

Arenas, who was nestled in a small hotel at the moment, crushed the carbonated drink bottle in his hand and fell to the ground.

He was dropped by the trial team again.

"They promised me, they promised me"

Arenas wouldn't have guessed that the reason Richardson was more appreciated by Golden State scouts was that the guy studied psychology in college.

Compared with Arenas, who spoke out before the draft, the Golden State Warriors are willing to believe that Richardson, a psychology major, can better control his emotions.

This is very helpful for the team.

Although what they don't know is that psychology is a major subject, and majors are divided into more detailed ones.

For example, there is a specialty in psychology called child psychology.

Shane Battier, who met Shentong in the NCAA Finals, was selected by the Vancouver Grizzlies with the sixth overall pick.

Produced by Duke, it must be a high-quality product.

Being able to select Battier at this position, the Grizzlies can wake up from their dreams.

The draft continued. A number of players came onto the stage one after another, took the ball cap from Stern, and smiled brightly at the camera.

Until the 12th pick, the Arizona Wildcats four-man team participating in the draft, still no one's name was mentioned.

"The 13th place Houston Rockets, they chose Richard Jefferson from the University of Arizona!"

finally.

A familiar name is mentioned.

Jefferson, who was sitting in the small green room, stood up from his seat with a smile, and after high-fiving and hugging his parents and friends who accompanied him, he trotted to the rostrum.

"Thank you, Mr. David Stern."

Jefferson took the Houston Rockets cap from Stern very politely and put it on his head.

Shen Tong, who was sitting in front of the TV, was also happy for Jefferson. Although the 13th pick is not particularly high, it is also a lottery area. Jefferson deserves this position.

Arenas' name has not yet been called, but Shen Tong thinks it should be his turn soon.

While that show had an impact on Arenas' draft pick, being a first-round pick shouldn't be much of a problem.

When Stern finished reading the draft list of all 29 draft picks in the first round, Shen Tong realized that he was wrong.

At the end of the first round of the draft, only Richard Jefferson was selected with the 13th pick among the four, which was completely beyond Shentong's expectations.

Apart from myself, the other three are all the main players of this year's NCAA championship!

Arenas pulled off the big gold chain on his chest and threw it out of the window viciously.

"You idiots! You will regret it!"

Seeing Shen Tong's frowning expression, Shen Qing thought that Shen Tong was very sad that she was not selected in the first round, so she quickly held Shen Tong's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, brother, there is still a second round."

"Grandpa, answer the phone. Grandpa, answer the phone"

Shen Tong's cell phone rang.

Arenas.

Shen Tong quickly picked up the phone.

"Shen, I screwed up, screwed up everything, I was not selected, no team would want me." Arenas' voice was full of tears.

At this moment, Arenas' name suddenly came on the TV.

"Hey, Gilbert, don't be sad, you watch TV, you were selected by the Golden State Warriors with the second pick in the second round!"

The phone immediately turned to a busy tone.

Well, although the draft pick is a bit late, he has entered the NBA after all.

And myself and Loren Woods are still in the waiting list.

Not knowing how Woods is feeling now, Shen Tong felt his heart was about to jump out.

This feeling is like the moment when the college entrance examination scores are checked.

With an uneasy mood, I listened to the cold machine voice on the phone and read out the scores of each subject word by word.

I read very slowly, and every word I read touched my heartstrings.

You can't fast forward, you can't escape

When the machine read out the total score, Shentong instantly felt relieved.

Damn the scoring call, why not just read the total score!

"With the 6th pick in the second round, the New Jersey Nets selected Shen Tong from the University of Arizona!"

"Ah~~~~~~!!!"

Sister Hua and Shen Qing jumped up from the sofa in an instant.

Shouted excitedly.

The magic of love goes round and round.

Lao Shen finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and hugged Shen Tong.

All burdens and stress are instantly released.

Shen Tong felt that he suddenly became light and light, and he felt very special when looking at everything.

Shentong, who loves basketball, finally got the chance to lead to the highest palace of basketball!

"Let's go, dad treats guests, we won't be eating at home today!"

Lao Shen, who has always cherished words like gold, rarely took the initiative to ask everyone to go out to eat together.

"Okay! I'm going to change clothes." Sister Hua was very excited and hurried back to the bedroom.

"I'm going to put on makeup too, soon!" Shen Qing immediately responded to Lao Shen's call and ran back to the room.

When Loren Woods was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 17th pick in the second round, Shen Tong's heart was completely relieved.

All the Four Wildcats were selected!

Even though their respective rankings are not so high, the University of Arizona is already the biggest winner in this draft.

Head coach Lute Olsen provided the NBA with four freshmen in one go.

after an hour.

"Mom, sister, are you all right?"
