I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 67 The one who gave birth to me!

Draft scene.

soon.

The Orlando Magic took Dwight Howard with the No. 1 pick.

Seeing Dwight Howard, Duke's eyes lit up.

Because this is a super giant in the future.

On the NBA court, that is a treasure trove of walking experience.

The second pick was Emeka Okafor, who was selected by the Charlotte Bobcats.

The third pick is Ben Gordon, who Cam was very optimistic about before, and was selected by the Chicago Bulls.

"Du, you see, my vision is still good, and this Ben Gordon, who I was planning to follow, has become a third talent!"

"Trust me, you have a problem with your vision this time. You and Andre Iguodala are definitely ahead of their time!"

"Tch, it sounds like you are a prophet."

"Um……"

Du Qi didn't stop talking, and it was impossible for him to tell his biggest secret.

From now on, just wait and see Cam's eyes admiring you.

As for Andre Iguodala, who Du Qi asked Cam to follow, he was snatched by the Philadelphia 9ers with the 76th pick in the first round.

"Philadelphia 76ers really have vision!"

Cam saw that Andre Iguodala with him was taken away by the 76ers, so he said this.

"If you want to praise yourself for your good vision, just praise yourself directly."

"Hahaha!"

Sure enough, because the Nets had such a good record in the 2003-2004 season, they didn't have any first-round picks.

In the second round, the Nets selected a leftover player.

……

Du Qi sat in the auditorium and watched the entire process of the draft.

I couldn't help but think of a year ago, when I participated in the draft and was undrafted. Looking back on this year, Du Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

And right now.

A staff member came to Duke's side:
"Oh~ my big star Du, I didn't expect you to come too."

Du Qi was recognized by the staff without much surprise.

Because when he came in with Cam, he was recognized by many people.

After all, it is the ring that just won the NBA championship, and it is the FMVP.

Even when entering the arena, Du Qi was begged by several sweet-looking American chicks to take a photo.

It would be abnormal not to be recognized.

"My name is Logan, and I'm today's host."

The staff member who came to Du Qi said to Du Qi very politely.

Du Qi nodded, "Hello, Mr. Logan."

"Hello Du, I would like to invite you to our stage now. An invitation is worse than a chance encounter. Please come to the stage and say a few words of encouragement to our rookies this year. After all, you are also..."

At this point, Logan suddenly thought that Ducci was undrafted last year.

I couldn't help but feel embarrassed...

In order to take Du Qi's face into consideration, he paused, did not say clearly, but rather vaguely said: "After all, you are also a rookie."

"no problem."

Seeing that Du Qi was invited to speak on stage, Cam was excited and envious, and cheered Du Qi:
"My handsome Du, let's go!"

Du Qi followed the staff to the stage.

The first- and second-round picks stared at Duke and whispered:
"This Du is very good, he made a name for himself in his rookie season!"

"This year's championship winner!"

"I want to learn from him!"

Host Logan said:
"Everyone in the basketball world, today we are honored to see MR Du come to our draft site, which makes us feel honored.

So please, Du, tell us a few words about his NBA experience. I hope it can give everyone here some guidance and help you avoid detours. "

wow~~
There was thunderous applause.

Du Qi took Logan's microphone and said:

"I was a little flattered to be suddenly invited by Mr. Logan to speak.

Now that I have come up, let me say a few words of encouragement to you.

Well, first of all, I was last year's [Undrafted], I believe anyone who knows me knows this.

But I just made it from a draft pick all the way to the NBA,

In the end, he signed a one-year contract with the Nets and helped the Nets win the championship in the season that just ended.

Saying this, you can take it as me showing off. "

Crash.

There was laughter under the stage.

Du Qi was silenced.

Du Qi smiled and continued:
"But I'm not showing off, I'm telling everyone with my personal experience, even if some rookies are not selected in this year's NBA draft, please don't be discouraged.

Because as long as you work hard,

The No. [-] pick can also be made to the list by you. "

Du Qi finished speaking.

It fit the tastes of those undrafted picks and won a lot of applause.

but.

Du Qi's words also stimulated the high-ranked rookies.Especially No. [-] overall pick Dwight Howard.

Ok.

Dwight Howard's disapproving gaze Dookie caught.

Du Qi didn't care either.

So what if you are dissatisfied.

This little episode is over.

The time came to July 2004, 7.The player market is open.

On Du Qi's side, he is also preparing to negotiate the next contract with the Nets.

The one-year contract signed last year has expired.

Of course Du Qi also became a free member of this free market.

So ever.

Du Qi's cell phone is about to explode these days.

Mostly from agents.

Said that he wanted to find a good team for Du Qi, and in the euphemistic name, help Du Qi find a more combative team.

Du Qi was also familiar with the routines of these agents, so he didn't take them seriously.

After staying in New York for another four days, Du Qi paid no attention to anything, packed his luggage and boarded the plane to fly back home.

The only thing that made Du Qi want to complain,
It was the bastard Cam who had agreed to take him to the airport, but he was busy picking up girls that day.

"A guy who values ​​sex over friends!"

……

China.Lucheng.

When Du Qi dragged a heavy suitcase to the gate of his courtyard, Du Qi was a little timid.

"I traveled from the future.

The appearance of my parents in 2004 seems to be still in my mind, but it is blurred again.I can still see my parents when they were young...Happy! "

Think so.

Du Qi was even more excited.

Then he calmed down his emotions, as if practicing, pulled the muscles on his face and smiled, showing clean white teeth.

Ding Dong!

Duke rang the doorbell.

crunch.

The door opened, and Du Qi saw a face that was too familiar. Before Du Qi called her "Mom", she said happily:
"Oh my dear son, you are back... Come in quickly! Come in! I am making dumplings for you, and we are having dumplings for lunch today!"

Du Qi felt a sore heart.

then.

Hearing the sound here, a middle-aged man ran over with a dumpling wrapper in his hand.

Well, Du Qi was also extremely familiar with this face.

There are traces of time on his face, but at this age, he can still see that he is handsome that has not been destroyed by time.

"Brat, come back!"

He shouted at Duke.

In the words, full of joy.

Du Qi looked at his parents' appearance at this time, and was a little dazed.

I really want to give my parents a hug, but I feel that Chinese and Americans are different, and the way of expressing feelings is different. I think that if I really give my parents a hug, my parents will probably take me to the hospital for a brain check.

Du Qi's heart warmed up, and he blurted out naturally:

"Dad, Mom!"
