Chapter 53: Gambling

A tall black man walked to a basketball court with a crutch inadvertently. He stared at the stadium and suddenly stopped his steps.

This is a shabby court next to the factory. The rebounds are still made of wooden, and it seems that the rebounds will be pierced with just a little force. The basket is so old that it has rusted all of it. Every collision with the basketball makes the basket shaking.

Six boys of fourteen or five years old smiled happily on this shabby court. They ran actively, jumped, and sucked every drop of happiness the basketball brought to them.

Morris, holding a crutch, walked into the court and found a bench to sit down. It was on this court that year that he made his first shot in his life, and completed his first dunk, first block, first steal on this court...

Morris was playing basketball at the yichi stadium when he was as old as them. His parents worked in the factory next to him, and he was here to spread his time. Now, this happiness is so far away from him.

Anjie announced his participation in the draft, and this incident naturally came to Morris's ears.

The inside partner of the former Tornado team, the two who once played in a single match, already had a good draft prospect, while the other one could only walk in the messy industrial area of ​​Bethesda, without anyone caring about it. Fate is so good...

Morris stood up and it was time to go home for lunch.

After walking through several blocks with great difficulty, Morris came to the doorstep. I really couldn't believe that he could even make a 10-hour turn-back run before, but now he can even breathe after walking for a few steps.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Morris smelled a mouth-watering fragrance.

"Mom, why did you feel so good today? You actually made my favorite blueberry pancake." Morris pushed open the door with the familiar smell and headed straight to the kitchen. But when he passed by the narrow living room of his home, he found a tall body sitting on the sand of his home.

"Why don't you say anything to me when you come!" Seeing that it was Angel, Morris followed him with a warm hug.

"I told you that I can still have such delicious pancakes? Thank you, madam." Anjie said, nodding politely to Morris' mother.

"What's wrong, there is no nBa team here to try out for you." Morris sat next to Anjie. Morris succeeded. Morris was not jealous at all, but was filled with blessings in his heart. Because Anjie was his brother, he only hoped that his brother would go smoothly.

"Have you heard about it?"

"Newspapers, TV, are everywhere, it's hard not to see you." Morris pointed to a newspaper on the table a few days ago, with news about Anjie participating in the draft.

It seems that Mr. Meslav is right. Once this media has been used, its popularity has increased slightly.

"Ah! It's so disappointing! I came here today to tell you this myself." An Jie leaned on the sand powerlessly, just like he was at home.

"Tell me, just pretend I don't know. Hey, Anjie, what are you asking me for today?" Morris' acting skills were a waste not to go to the Hollywood Show.

"I'm going to participate in the draft, brother." Unexpectedly, An Jie suddenly became a little serious when he said this.

"I knew you could do it. There were very few people who I, Morris, have been convinced in my life, but you became one of them." Morris patted Anjie's chest hard.

"I really can't bear to leave you from the Tornado team, I can't bear to leave you. The nBa team's trial will begin soon, and I don't have much time to move freely. If I don't come to see you, I don't know when I will wait." An Jie didn't expect that after sharing this good news with Morris, he was not happy at the moment.

"Don't be like a sissy. When you go to nBa, you will play well, and don't be deceived by the rich off-court life. You are Chinese and you have never grown up in the American neighborhood, so please be careful when you become famous. If you play too badly in nBa, I'm embarrassed to admit that you have been your teammate." Morris is a knife-like mouth and a tormented heart, so why would he bear to let these guys who have created beautiful memories with you?

"Okay! Let's eat the remaining cakes. This thing tastes the best when it's hot." Morris has always been a rebellious and annoying guy, but this Chinese actually made him such a big change.

Angel squeezed with him in Morris' room that day. They were like brothers who had lived for many years. They were indeed brothers, brothers of different skin colors.

................

Meslav has been flying all over the United States these days. He has come into contact with many nBa teams, and they are willing to let Anjie come to his team to try out. But Meslav knows that even this cannot guarantee that Anjie will be able to enter the round of the draft.

Whether it is for players or teams, the draft is a gambling that cannot be seen clearly in the future. Anjie's data is indeed very good. This season he averaged 7.3 points, yio.6 rebounds and y.9 blocks per game. However, the data is not the standard for nBa's team to select personnel, it can only play a certain auxiliary role. You must know that there are many people who have completely fallen into Ba.

Each team has their eyes open and looks for the players they need the most. But even if they hold detailed player reports, they dare not assert whether a player can succeed in nBa.

The draft is based on the gambling table in Las Vegas. It is possible to make a fortune or lose everything. No one knows what will be waiting for him, everything is in the unknown.

However, the personal relationship between Divac and Meslav can give Angel some additional protection.

The Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets, and Sacramento Kings. These three teams will definitely not turn a blind eye to the people recommended by Divac.

Now, Meslav has just landed on New Orleans land. Although Divac has played for the Hornets for the shortest time, he is not completely speechless.

The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that has been fully formed, and they are the favorable contenders of the championship. Moreover, the Lakers already have Andrew Bynum, the center that has been in the limelight recently, and Anger will probably not have much chance for the Lakers. The Lakers only have yi draft picks this season, and they will definitely be at the end of the second round. Such a pick is absolutely unacceptable to Meslav. Even if Los Angeles is a big market, due to the above reasons, Meslav directly crossed the Lakers out of the shortlist.

Next is the Sacramento Kings, which is the team that allows Divac to shine in the 2yi century. Not to mention anything else, the Kings are preparing to retire Divac's No. 2yi jersey next season, which is enough to show that Divac is in the Kings' management. Martin is the team on the edge of the playoffs, and there is no one in the team that can compete with Anger. From the perspective of game opportunities, the Kings are also a choice.

Finally, there are the New Orleans Hornets. With the growth of Chris Paul, David West and others and the joining of Peja Stoyakovic, the Hornets have become a strong team. The Hornets have both immediate combat power and full of potential, and are definitely suitable for Angel's growth. Besides, are the centers who can play around Chris Paul still afraid of not receiving exquisite passes from the outside? However, the biggest problem of the Hornets is that they may only have draft picks at the end of the round, and before that, Angel is likely to be picked by other teams.

The team has contacted the team. Meslav has now come to New Orleans to negotiate with the Hornets about the Anger draft. Of course, this does not mean that the Hornets are so special. This is just one of the many Meslav teams that have come into contact with. Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Seattle Sound, New York Knicks... More than a dozen teams have expressed interest in Anger. New Orleans is just the Yishou station among them. It is just because of Divac's relationship, so the Hornets may be more sincere than other teams.

All kinds of changes are brewing, and no one knows who they want to take or who they choose to make the bargaining chips for trading. As the nBa playoffs are about to end, the movements of each team have become bigger and bigger.
