Chapter 11 The draft is over

At the end of the first round, there is naturally no name for Wang Dachun. Other teams don’t even know who Wang Dachun is, and it is even more impossible to choose him.

The closer the Mavericks' pick, Wang Dachun became more nervous. Although he received the draft promise from Nelson Jr., what if the Mavericks' group of people twitched their brains and didn't choose themselves?

After Stern stepped down, another bald man came up. Fleck told him that the bald man was Xiao Hua, the vice president of the league, and he was responsible for announcing the second round pick.

Seeing Wang Dachun getting nervous, Frank comforted him not to be nervous, and it doesn’t matter if he couldn’t choose. There are so many people around the world running here, and there are only 60 people in total, and not everyone can sign a contract with the team. It’s useless to be nervous.

Wang Dachun asked in surprise:

"Don't you sign a contract if you choose?"

"Yes! Don't you know?"

Wang Dachun cursed in his heart, I know a ball!

Xiao Hua on the stage has begun to announce the second round.

…………

With the 35th pick, the Los Angeles Clippers chose the 211-centimeter center from the University of Texas.

In the 45th pick, the San Antonio Spurs chose from………….

In the 50th pick, the Seattle Supersonics chose from……………

With the 51st pick, the Dallas Mavericks chose Wang Dachun, a center from China with a height of 215 cm.

"Oh my goodness, man! You were selected! You were really selected!"

Frank beside him jumped up excitedly and hugged Wang Dachun and shouted.

Wang Dachun came to his senses. He had been thinking about the question that he might not be able to sign a contract even if he chose it. Suddenly, he heard that he was chosen and trembled all over excitedly.

Frank pushed him and asked him to go on stage quickly. Wang Dachun walked stiffly to the draft platform and picked up the Mavericks' hat and buckled it on his head.

He went on stage to shake hands with bald Xiao Hua and hugged him. He didn't know what the other party said. He just nodded and walked off the stage with a silly smile, and came to the interview area.

At this time, Frank also came to him, and many microphones asked him questions. Wang Dachun was still confused. Frank saw him standing stupidly and quickly answered the questions for him.

One of the Chinese journalists asked him in Chinese if he could accept a separate interview. Wang Dachun came to his senses at this time and saw that it was the Chinese nodding and saying yes.

Gu Yao is an intern reporter at Hupu.com. Because no Chinese players were found to participate in this year's draft, the editor-in-chief only sent him and a photographer to the United States for some routine interviews and reports.

As the election was coming to an end, they were already ready to pack up and get up and leave. When they were about to leave, they suddenly heard Xiao Hua pronounce a Chinese name on the stage.

I just saw an Asian man walking towards the draft and found that a big man should be the Chinese he just thought about, and was selected by the Mavericks.

How is this possible? I don’t know at all about the Chinese talent show this year! Moreover, the name Wang Dachun is very unfamiliar and has no impression of the domestic basketball world. I have made such a big mistake and I don’t know that there is such a person.

I quickly sorted out my interview equipment. When I came to the interview area, many people came here to interview Wang Dachun.

Although he was selected at the end of the second round, the Chinese big man who suddenly appeared was also a big news for these reporters. Most of the reporters interviewed had a draft prediction table. Moreover, they did not see the Chinese on the table and were a little curious.

After Gu Yao received permission to interview separately, she waited quietly next to her. After being interviewed by a simple interview, Wang Dachun came to the seat next to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao adjusted a little, and then started the interview after making an OK gesture to the photographer:

"Hello Wang Dachun, first of all, I am very congratulations on being selected by the Mavericks."

In fact, Gu Yao also looked back at the electronic display board in the hall, showing Wang Dachun's name and team he chose.

"Thank you, I didn't expect to be selected."

Wang Dachun answered honestly because he knew that many of his questions could not be answered normally. Do I know that I would be selected? Then someone would definitely ask you why you knew that you would be selected...

"I'm very sorry. Because we didn't predict that you would be selected, we know very little about you, and we don't know which team you play in in China?"

"Well, I didn't play in the domestic team."

"Is it because I am not in China or abroad? What level of league is it?"

Wang Dachun didn't know how to answer, so he could only say half true and half false:

"I used to play football, I was a goalkeeper, and I changed my basketball because I was too tall."

Gu Yao looked like this, no wonder she didn't know. She used to be a football player and didn't think much about it. As a basketball reporter, she didn't want to ask football questions.

"You didn't find this year's joint trial. Did you delay? And you were selected by the Dallas Mavericks. Have you ever received their invitation to try?"

Wang Dachun muttered in his heart that he had never known what the joint training was before, and when he came to the United States, the joint training seemed to have ended, but he still replied:

"Well, yes, I didn't come to the United States to participate in the joint trial in time because of some things, but I received an invitation from the Dallas Mavericks to train."

Wang Dachun asked some questions that were not very watery and the interview ended.

After saying goodbye to Gu Yao, he walked out with Frank and happened to meet Little Nelson and his group.

Little Nelson greeted Wang Dachun with a smile and said:

"Boy, oh, sir. Congratulations on being a member of the Mavericks."

Wang Dachun also replied with a little excitement:

"Thank you sir, thank you very much for choosing me. I will definitely play hard."

"Wang, you don't need to be polite. I just happened to introduce this person to you."

As he said that, Little Nelson pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said:

"This is your head coach this season, Rick Carlisle."

Wang Dachun quickly greeted the head coach. Coach Rick just nodded politely and did not mean to talk to Wang Dachun.

After chatting with Wang Dachun for a few words, Nelson encouraged and praised Wang Dachun for his great progress in English. Before leaving, he told him that soon the Mavericks staff would contact him and tell him what to do next.

On the second day of the draft, Wang Dachun received a call from Dallas staff, asking him to report to the team before July 10 because he is likely to join the team in the summer league held in Rocky Mountain this year.

When Wang Dachun heard the news, he was completely dissatisfied. No way? I was just selected and I was going to play the game! It was too fast!
