Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 594 Participating in the Draft
He combed his hair to look like an adult, put on a handsome suit, stood blankly in front of the mirror, tied the knot of the red tie clumsily, and looked at himself in the mirror, Peyton felt extremely handsome.

There seemed to be a holy light shining behind him, and a new star was rising slowly.

"Hahaha, you look so funny!" However, all the beautiful atmosphere was ruined by the sudden intrusion from behind, led by Kidd.

"Get out, you guys are all blind!" Peyton yelled at them angrily. Thanks to the mood today, he didn't pay attention to them. Otherwise, he would have scolded them half to death, and his own Trash talk, that's not for nothing.

"Hi, how are you! Gary, it's time for us to go!" Payton's father walked into the room and said to Payton just as Kidd and others were booing.

However, when he passed through the crowd and saw Payton, he was taken aback for a moment and said, "Why are you putting on the suit now? The draft will start tomorrow!"

Hearing what Peyton's father said, the others burst into laughter.

Peyton also blushed a little, and hurriedly argued: "I just try the size and shape."

"Come on, you've tried it almost ten times." Old Peyton ruthlessly pierced him, which caused a roar of laughter in the room.

Tomorrow is June 6, which is also the day when the NBA's annual draft will be held. The Payton family of three will go to New York to witness Payton's transformation from a student to a professional player.

It's a pity that the number of people who can go to the conference is limited, otherwise he will bring all his little brothers in, and let them see how powerful his boss is.

Even so, these people came to see Payton off at home today, which still moved him very much. Of course, it would be better if there were less laughter.

When he got in the car, Payton had put on his jersey again, rolled down the car window, and Payton waved to his brothers, saying: "Tomorrow night, you should enjoy my heroic appearance on TV! Remember This historic moment, because this will be the starting point for the great star Gary Payton to enter the NBA!"

"And~~" Everyone booed for a while.

"Gary, you take a step first, and I'll be here soon!" At this time, Kidd also extended a thumb to Peyton.

"Very good, I'm waiting for you!" Peyton waved to Kidd, then retracted his hand, and rolled up the car window again, "Dad, let's go!"

The old Peyton's colleague kicked the accelerator, the car started slowly, and drove away from their dilapidated small house, and they were about to go to a vast world.

And watching the car gradually go away, Kidd in the crowd also swore secretly: "Wait for me, Gary, I will catch up with you soon!"

The young rookies invited by the NBA like Payton are all like Payton at this time, starting from all over the world and gathering towards New York.

In addition to these players, the management of each team also set off one after another, and walked into the arena on the evening of the second day.

Frank was earlier than usual, and he was not idle after he came in, constantly directing Attles to make calls.

Seeing this scene, the other team managers all smiled without feeling the slightest surprise.

If we were to say that the winners of the drafts in the past two years are none other than the Warriors, although everyone didn’t say anything, but it’s human nature to be jealous. Seeing that the Warriors, who have been so successful in the past two years, are today, they are really happy flower.

Obviously, they all know that the Warriors will have many players leaving the team this year, and they will leave the team without leaving any assets.

In their view, this is a huge blow to the Warriors, and in order to make up for the vacancies of players, they doubt that the Warriors will make a big move in this year's draft, selecting a group of rookies to enrich the team. When it comes to busy Attles, everyone already knows it.

In fact, Frank and Attles are indeed very busy at this time, but they are not frantically selecting candidates in this draft as people think. A high pick will sell for a good price.

Due to the big sale in 86, the Warriors still hold the first-round pick of the Clippers. This year, the Clippers played better and got the No. 8 pick.

Such a pick that is less than the top and more than the bottom, in the draft year, Frank would still be tempted, but in this year, such a draft pick is really in vain.

No way, compared with previous years, this year's draft is somewhat lackluster. It feels like the previous two drafts lack rookies who can grow into superstars.

Among these rookies, besides Payton, Derek Coleman is the most watched.

This 208cm tall power forward is known as the next Karl Malone. The reason why he has such a high evaluation and can even beat Payton to get more attention is that this guy's talent is really good.

Growing up in Detroit, he made friends with the Pistons superstar Dave Bing in high school, and even got the personal guidance of Dave Bing.

After growing up, not only is his body very strong, he has a solid offense at the basket, but he also has a long-range shot in his hand. It can be said that his template is positioned as Karl Malone, which is very vivid.

It's a pity that the reason why he failed to achieve the achievements everyone expected in the end was because of his bad temper and bad temper.

Lazy in training, drinking, fighting, and getting into trouble repeatedly, it can be said that Coleman is one of the representatives of the most profligate talent in NBA history. Star, two-time Third Team selection.

This makes people can't help but feel a little bit emotional, how high can his growth height be without these bad habits?
It's a pity that there will never be ifs, and the NBA has never lacked people who waste their talents. They will only be forgotten in the long river of history.

Soon, it was 19:30, and the draft officially began.

David Stern, as usual, stepped onto the stage, said a few nonsense words, and soon got to the point.

At this time, Gary Payton, who was sitting with his family under the stage, suddenly became more nervous. He was very concerned about the title of champion.

"With the No. 1990 overall pick in the 1 draft, the New Jersey Nets select Derek Coleman from Syracuse University (he's also better known as Syracuse University)."

Before Stern finished speaking, the Coleman family at the next table had already cheered excitedly. When Peyton heard this result, his heart was very sour, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Fortunately, the camera was aimed at Coleman at this time, and Payton was not concerned, otherwise I would not know how Kidd and others in front of the TV would laugh at Payton!
