One Guard

The meeting with Gobert not only made Yiyang, but also the coach Carlisle and Cuban, the final boss, very satisfied.

This guy loves competition, doesn't give up easily, and is determined. Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, such as almost no shooting ability, underweight and no experience in the United States. There are countless examples of European geniuses failing after entering the NBA. Who knows if Gobert will become the next depressed European man?

For this reason, choosing Gobert is actually very risky. No matter if you think about it again, a 27th overall pick in the first round, isn't it a gambling to choose anyone?

In the past few days before the start of the draft, the Mavericks are still following up Gobert’s trial. A very bad news is that Gobert showed very good qualities when he tried out in Atlanta, and the Hawks also expressed enough interest in Gobert.

The Atlanta Hawks have 17 and 18 first-round picks this season. These two picks are ten orders higher than No. 27 in the hands of Cuban! For the time being, Gobert will most likely be intercepted by the damned Eagles!

If the Bucks really picked Antetokounmpo this year, and Gobert was first picked by the Eagles, then Cuban's $3 million would be completely lost.

Therefore, in the past few days before the start of the draft, Cuban, Yiyang and others are very nervous. Yiyang didn't expect that he, who had already experienced the draft, would still have trouble sleeping because of the fate of others.

On June 26, Yiyang and his group took Cuban’s private jet from Dallas to Brooklyn, New York on the east coast.

As soon as he stepped off the plane, Cuban immediately checked the latest predictive draft news. Unfortunately, the Bucks seem to be infinitely close to Antetokounmpo. More unfortunately, the Jazz, who holds the 14th overall pick, also publicly praised Gobert's performance.

Cuban broke into a cold sweat, and he has never been so nervous about a draft pick with the 27th overall pick.

"Let's go, Mark, don't watch the **** news. Draft predictions, none of them are reliable." Little Nelson clearly saw the dilemma of Cuban, he patted his boss on the shoulder and signaled Cuban to relax. .

"If I hold a lottery pick, then I don't have such troubles at all." Cuban put down his phone and complained.

"If we get the lottery, can we still play in the Western Conference finals this year?" Nelson asked.

"Yeah... that's right." Cuban tilted his head, fish and bear's paw, you can't have both.

Yiyang, Cuban, Carlisle and Jr. Nelson checked into the hotel that had been booked a long time ago, fell asleep early, and prepared for tomorrow's doomed tough draft.

Although tomorrow, they will be the ones who determine the fate of a player. But the other 26 draft picks before the 27th pick determine the fate of the Mavericks.

Although Cuban’s goal this summer is to chase Howard and Al Jefferson with all his strength, it is also a very good thing to be able to choose Antetokounmpo or Gobert.

At the same time, Cuban believes that many bosses are awake at night with Yiyang. Especially those teams with lottery picks, their decisions even affect the team's future. Fortunately, the future of the Mavericks does not need to be bet on the draft, because their future has been handed over to Yiyang to guard.

In this way, the 2013 NBA Draft, known as the draft year by the outside world, was staged at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn under the tension of the Mavericks.

In the small green room of the draft, Yiyang saw Gobert's figure. Being able to be invited to the small green house also shows how popular Gobert is now.

Before the start of the draft, the Nuggets officially announced that the cash transaction with the Mavericks was officially reached, and the league approved the transaction.

This time, Cuban can be regarded as passing the first pass. The Nuggets did not regret their verbal agreement, and the 27th overall pick is now being held by the Mavericks.

After that, what Yiyang they can do is still wait. After the results of the 26 picks are announced, see what God will leave the Mavericks.

The draft began soon, and the stands were filled with fans from all NBA teams. Tickets for the draft are very cheap, and you can usually buy a ticket for $30-50. After entering the stadium, the fans can enjoy the atmosphere of not losing the game.

Because of this, the entire Barclays Center is not absent. The atmosphere on the scene was also ignited by a large number of fans. Yiyang and his party were sitting in the luxurious box, and under the window of the box, Gobert stared expectantly at David Stern who was speaking on the stage. In which position will the white-haired old man pronounce my name?

After Stern's long and stinky speech, the draft finally began.

The Cleveland Cavaliers chose Bennett as the top pick of this year. They look forward to Bennett and Irving to lead the team back to the top.

The Magic selected Oladipo from Indiana University with the second overall pick. Yiyang still does not know whether this small guard will become his opponent in the future.

With the third overall pick, the Wizards selected Otto Porter. After owning Wall, the Wizards are still a lottery team. However, Tanhua Yiyang, who was in the same session with Wall, has already won the MVP.

After the top three picks were finalized, Cuban became more and more nervous. With the fifth overall pick, the Suns selected Ukrainian center Alex Lane, which means that the Suns gave up Gobert and the Mavericks passed the first level!

With the 14th overall pick in the first round, the Jazz drafted Shabaz Mohammed, the swingman from the guard. Gobert is temporarily safe!

At the 15th overall Bucks, Cuban took a deep breath. This guy's heart is pounding, and during the time the Bucks are making a decision, Cuban may silently say "God Bless" more times than the previous week combined.

However, when Stern opened the Bucks' envelope, unfortunate things happened.

"Yunis Antetokounmpo!"

The moment Stern pronounced the name, Cuban let out a low growl in the box. The Greek monster finally did not fall to the end of the first round. Damn Milwaukee Bucks, your selection of the Greeks is simply a horrible thing!

But the next tense thing is not over, because the Eagles, who have 17 and 18 draft picks, are very close to Gobert...

When the Celtics announced that they had selected the Brazilian center Lucas Noquila with the 16th overall pick, Gobert's heart was already agitated.

"You did a very good job! If you haven't been picked in the middle of the first round, then we will definitely choose you!" This is what the Eagles general manager said to Gobert three days ago. The next 17 and 18 are the Hawks' choice rounds, which means that Gobert is about to take the stage!

"Gobert's long arms are undoubtedly his most advantageous weapon, but there are too many examples of this kind of slender insider who have failed in the NBA! His slightly thin body may become the NBA due to lack of confrontation. A passerby on the stage. What's more, we already have Al Horford and Zaza Pachulia, why do we have to hire another big man who hasn’t proven himself!?” At this time, the Hawks In the deluxe private room, things are not as easy as Gobert had imagined.

The Hawks are divided on whether to choose Gobert or not. The owner of the team has taken a fancy to Gobert's potential, but the general manager thinks the Hawks are already very crowded at the center position.

Just when Gobert imagined that he was about to stand on the stage, Stern walked out with the envelope.

"Don't...Don't..." Cuban was still praying, and Yiyang was also a little nervous.

On the sidelines, ESPN commentators also predicted that the 17th pick will belong to Rudy Gobert.

However, when Stern read the name in the envelope, everyone on the scene, including Gobert himself, was dumbfounded!

"The 17th overall pick, the Atlanta Hawks chose Dennis Schroeder, from Germany!"

"What!?" Gobert and his family's eyes widened, and Cuban and Yiyang clapped in the luxurious box to celebrate!

"Don't worry, the Hawks still have the 18th overall pick!" Carlisle immediately calmed down. Maybe the Hawks wanted to pick Schroder first and then Gobert! ?

"Don't worry Rudy, you must be the next one!" Gobert's family also comforted him at the scene.

The 18th overall pick was the Hawks. Although Gobert was a little unhappy, he still barely smiled.

"The 18th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Hawks chose..." At this point, Gobert had stood up, ready to take the hat from the staff, but...

"I chose Sean Larkin, from the University of Miami!"

In front of Gobert's eyes, the flattered Larkin stood up excitedly, embracing his family. He took the Eagles baseball cap and proudly walked onto the stage to take a photo with Stern.

Where is Gobert? He was like a big stupid man, stuck there blankly, watching Larkin take his place, laughing happily, but he was motionless.

The Eagles promised themselves, but in the end they chose someone else. This made Gobert feel disrespectful and feel extremely humiliated!

"Damn... fuck! I love God!" And in the Mavericks box, Cuban finally breathed a sigh of relief. Once the Hawks do not choose, there is little chance that several teams will choose Gobert. His 3 million US dollars should not be unexpected in exchange for a French tower!

After that, the draft will continue. Seeing the rookies around him being read their names and the players being accepted into the team, Gobert was extremely lost and extremely angry!

Do you really look down on me like that? I am indeed not the best, but I am willing to practice, I am willing to work hard!

Gobert's pick has also fallen from the 17th predicted. Until the 26th overall Timberwolves chose Andre Robertson, Gobert still didn't hear his name.

The waiting time is always long and bitter, and this night at Barclays Gobert is destined to be unforgettable for life.

"The 27th overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks chose..."

On stage, Stern will announce the fate of the next player again. Hearing the words of the Dallas Mavericks, Gobert raised his head abruptly.

"You want to practice so urgently!?"

Yiyang~www.novelmtl.com~ Gobert first thought of Yiyang, who took the initiative to speak to himself. The Chinese avenged the entire league without being optimistic about it, and his revenge continues until now.

People humiliated him, looked down on him, and thought that a guard of his skin color played at most two seasons in the NBA. But now, he is an NBA champion, an MVP, and the hottest basketball player in the world!

He is an out-and-out avenger!

"The Dallas Mavericks chose Rudy Gobert, from Picardy Saint Quentin, France! Let us congratulate him!"

As soon as Stern finished reciting the name, Gobert stood up abruptly, took the Mavericks baseball cap and put it on, then raised his head and walked to the stage!

My name is Rudy Gobert, and from today, I will be a player of the Dallas Mavericks and take revenge on the league!

Gobert faced the camera with a serious expression and took a photo with Stern. The two Avengers officially joined forces. This story may be quite exciting.
