A wall was built on the stage, and a door was opened on the wall. Outside the door were a group of fans on the left and right sides. As the host called out the players' names, the players participating in the draft and their families would Come out of the door.

However, not all players participating in the draft can enjoy this treatment, only players invited by the "Little Green Room" can.

The so-called Little Green Room is not a room, but an area at the draft where players participating in the draft and their families stay.

Before the draft every year, the managers of each NBA team will vote to select a list and invite the players on the list and their families to participate in the draft.

This is a great honor and the number of places is limited.

Usually the list of "Little Green Room" is about 14-20 people, sometimes it will exceed 20 people, but not too many.

The players invited to the "Little Green Room" are all players who are predicted to have relatively high draft picks, such as players who are predicted to enter the lottery. After all, this list is NBA managers (mainly the 14 teams with lottery picks). Team managers) naturally choose the players they like.

It can even be said that being invited to the "Little Green Room" is a sign of high ranking.

A player who enters the "Little Green Room" may not necessarily be selected in the lottery. After all, there are more than 14 people who enter the "Little Green Room", but the pick will probably not be low; but if a player fails to enter the "Little Green Room", then The draft pick is probably not much higher.

Among the several UCLA participating teams, only Zhuang Yu and LaVine were invited to the "Little Green Room". Anderson, Adams, Parker, and Powell were not invited.

"Now I invite Zhuang Yu from UCLA."

Following the host's voice, Zhuang Yu walked out of the door, and with him were Li Huilan, Zhuang Zhihong, An Xin, and Zhou Zhiming.

Although players can bring relatives and friends, the number is limited, usually only five people.

On such an important day today, Li Huilan and Zhuang Zhihong are definitely coming. Zhuang Yu asked An Xin to come, and Zhou Zhiming is also there.

A group of five people came to the venue and sat down in front of a round table.

Looking around, Zhuang Yu saw some familiar people, Randall, Gordon, and Ennis.

A moment later, Raven came too.

Zhuang Yu stood up and hugged Lavin. They were right next to each other...

Soon, the players on the "Little Green Room" list arrived, the draft officially kicked off, and the new NBA president Adam Silva took the stage.

In February of this year, David Stein, who has been in charge of the NBA for 2 years, announced his retirement and handed over the position of NBA President to Adam Silver.

This is also the first time Adam Silva has hosted the NBA draft since taking office as NBA commissioner.

Under people's attention, Adam Silva gave a speech and then got down to business, about to announce this year's No. 1 pick.

For a while, the venue became quiet, and everyone wanted to know who this year's top pick was.

Zhuang Yu was also curious. He looked at Wiggins, Embiid, and Parker. Everyone knew that the number one pick would definitely be among these three, but who would it be?

Soon, the answer was revealed.

Adam Silva read aloud: "The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Andrew Wiggins from the University of Kansas with the No. 1 pick in the first round."

popping...

Suddenly, the audience burst into warm applause.

Amid the applause, Wiggins stood up and grinned brightly. At this moment, he became the focus of the audience and became the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

Wiggins walked onto the stage, took the cap with the Cavaliers logo on it, put it on, and then gave a speech.

Next up is second place.

Joel Embiid and Jabari Parker are both staring directly at Adam Silver. They are both a little disappointed that they failed to become the No. 1 pick. Now it only depends on who is second.

“The Milwaukee Bucks selected Jabari Parker from Duke with the second pick of the first round!”

Zhuang Yu clearly saw that Embiid's face stiffened. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the result, and secondly, it was not him.

Finally it was Embiid's turn in third place.

With the fourth pick, the Orlando Magic selected Aaron Gordon.

"That's really it." Zhuang Yu said to himself.

This result was just as predicted during the previous discussion by Tyron and others. The top three picks were occupied by Wiggins, Parker, and Embiid, and the Magic selected Aaron Gordon with the fourth pick.

"Then the fifth pick should be Exum or Smart. Randall, Vonleh, Payton, etc. are also possible." Zhuang Yu thought to himself. According to the predictions of Tai Lun and others, the fifth pick , the sixth overall pick will probably be produced among these people.

Of course, it could also be Zhuang Yu.

But Talon thinks it is unlikely, because Exum, Smart, Randle, Vonleh, and Payton have all gone to the Jazz and Celtics for trial training. There are even rumors that these two teams are interested in a certain player.

Zhuang Yu did not participate in any team's trial training, and he did not want to go to these two teams. He would rather drop down a little further.

What we want is opportunities, not simply high picks!

on the stage.

Adam Silver opened the envelope and read out the fifth pick: "With the fifth pick, the Utah Jazz selected Dante Exum."

This result is not unexpected. Several players are likely to be selected by the Jazz. It is not surprising who is selected.

With the sixth overall pick, the Boston Celtics selected Marcus Smart.

"Exum and Smart have both been selected, so Randall should be next." Zhuang Yu said to himself, "It seems that I may fall out of the top ten."

None of the first six picks got their turn, and the seventh pick went to the Lakers. It is said that after the trial training, the Lakers were very satisfied with Randall.

Although he had expected it, Zhuang Yu still felt a little disappointed.

on the stage.

Adam Silva opened the envelope, his expression suddenly stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he said: "The Los Angeles Lakers selected with the seventh overall pick..."

At this time, Randall below had a smile on his face. He arranged his suit and was ready to get up and go on stage.

But the next moment, the expression on Randall's face was stunned.

At the same time, there was an uproar in the venue...

"The Lakers selected... Zhuang Yu from UCLA with the seventh pick!"

When Zhuang Yu's name came out of Adam Silva's mouth, many people were confused. Why is it Zhuang Yu? Shouldn't it be Randall?

Randall's whole body was not well.

Why Zhuang Yu? Why is this happening?
