Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 19
David Stern was in his late forties, and his ugly haircut and beard gave him a more savvy look than the benevolent look he would have grayed out decades later.

At this time, Stern was not as calm as usual. Standing on the stage, he was almost dumbfounded, so embarrassed that he was at a loss. He didn't know what happened off the stage. People yelled that someone had passed out and didn't know anything else.

At this moment, he secretly prayed in his heart: This is a live broadcast!Director, quickly cut the ad!

Accompanying Rodman to participate in the draft was a middle-aged woman and a teenager. Both of them were white, so they should not be relatives of Rodman, but they were caught off guard by what happened in front of them at the moment.

Fortunately, Li Weisi was relatively calm. After all, he was a student of biology and had read many medical books by himself. He was not afraid of Rodman's situation at all. He walked over immediately and squatted beside Rodman to observe carefully. situation.

At this time Rodman did not seem to have completely lost consciousness, but he was lying on the ground in great pain, his hands, feet and face twitched from time to time, and his breathing was very rapid.

Li Weisi put his hand on Rodman's chest and felt that his heartbeat was abnormal, so he quickly got up and shouted to the people who had already surrounded him: "Hurry up and call an ambulance! Everyone around should spread out a little, don't surround yourself here." ! Pay attention to ventilation!"

Faced with this critical situation, the people around them subconsciously obeyed Li Weisi's warning, and they all took a few steps back, then stopped and looked out. It has to be said that it is not a Chinese patent to like to watch the excitement.

Panting, Frank ran out of the box, squeezed through the crowd of onlookers with difficulty, and shouted anxiously to Li Weisi, "West, how is he doing?"

Li Weisi glanced at Frank and comforted him: "The preliminary judgment is acute hyperventilation. As long as he is sent to the hospital in time, there should be no great danger."

After speaking, Li Weisi returned to Rodman, pressed Rodman's chest, and said to Rodman: "Can you hear me? Calm down, calm down, don't get excited, don't breathe fast, slow down , breathe slowly."

The so-called acute hyperventilation is a group of syndromes caused by excessive ventilation exceeding physiological metabolic needs. In simple terms, it is respiratory alkalosis caused by rapid breathing and sympathetic nervous system excitement.

In this case, the patient must be able to lower his breathing rate and reduce nerve excitement, but this is a bit difficult, because he found that Rodman could not control his breathing at this time.

"The ambulance is coming! The ambulance is coming!"

At this time, there were sudden voices one after another in the crowd.

Fortunately, for such a large gathering, medical staff were on call at all times, and soon, two medical workers came with stretchers.

At this time, Don Nelson and Attles also ran all the way from the box to the downstairs, watching Rodman being carried onto a stretcher by the medical staff with anxious expressions.

After Li Weisi helped carry Rodman onto the stretcher, the medical staff hurried to the outside of the venue, and there was an ambulance outside.

Li Weisi did not follow out, but was stopped by Don Nelson and the others, and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Weisi shook his head and told Don Nelson to calm down: "Don't worry, it's okay, it's acute hyperventilation, as long as it can be rescued, everything will be fine."

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then they thought at the same time: "Is the person Frank asked to choose really okay? Is this buddy reliable? Isn't he just selected? As for fainting from happiness?" ? Isn’t this too new to the world?”

That's right, the reason why the three of them ran out of the box back and forth was because this Rodman was Frank's second pick in this draft.

Frank used the first-round pick from the trade with the Kings to select this 25-year-old player. Originally, Nelson and Attles thought he was a stable and mature type of immediate combat power, but today this is an eye-opener. This is too unreliable, right?
Feeling the skeptical eyes of his coach and general manager, Frank also felt miserable, he didn't know that things would turn out like this, although he knew that Rodman was unreliable, but he really didn't know that Rodman would be embarrassing Is it because his black history has not been disclosed?

Or is it because of his own butterfly effect?
A white mother and son who came with Rodman, after thanking Li Weisi, also ran out with the medical staff, looking very worried about Rodman's condition.

After sending Rodman away, the once chaotic scene finally restored order, and it was possible to continue. At this time, the director of TBS TV station was eager to pull out his own hair because of the long-running TV commercial. At this moment, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Philadelphia 1986ers selected Mark Price from Georgia Tech with the 21st pick in the first round of the 76 draft."

"The Dallas Mavericks selected Kevin Duckworth from Eastern Illinois University with the No. 1986 pick in the second round of the 2 draft."

"The Dallas Mavericks selected Jeff Hornacek from Iowa State University with the 1986th pick in the second round of the 2 draft."

"The Golden State Warriors selected Drazen Petrovic from Yugoslavia with the fourth overall pick in the third round of the 1986 draft."

……

Although the scene was disturbed by Rodman's episode, fortunately, it can go on normally after recovery, and there is no further disturbance.

After Li Weisi restored order at the scene, he did not choose to stay in the field, but went to the box with Frank.

In the eyes of others, it is normal for the selected players to be invited by the boss, so it did not arouse any suspicion.

In the box, when the last Petrovic was selected by the Warriors, Frank danced happily and yelled in the box, which made Li Weisi want to despise him.

In the box, Don Nelson and Attles were not as happy as Frank, especially Attles, who looked at Frank with absolute suspicion.

Almost sent the entire team away, and in exchange for these few rookies?
Let’s not talk about the Rodman who fainted from happiness, just look at the few people who are left to choose, the short ones, the skinny ones, and the European guy who couldn’t make it to the NBA in the past two years. It seems that only one Kevin Duckworth has some strength, but there is already Moses Malone at the center position!

At this moment, Attles felt a wave of despair in his heart. He felt that the future was gloomy. Because of the willfulness of the boss, the team can be said to have officially announced the rebuilding.
