On June 21, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, the United States, the 2022 draft is about to begin.

Radar, accompanied by Guangfeng Team Manager Liao and Wang Qinan, sat at a round table in the audience, waiting for NBA President, "bald" Adam Xiaohua to take the stage.

As early as a week ago, Radar had participated in the NBA draft training camp and performed very well.

Maybe because he is of the yellow race, even if he has excellent grades, he still does not receive much attention. Yellow skin is not a discrimination of race or nationality, but a denial of basketball ability, especially for guards who are known for their technical requirements.

Even before the draft started, ESPN predicted that Reda's draft pick would be No. 15 or later. Even if his performance in the CBA was like a miracle, with 20 triple-doubles in a single season and 4 double-doubles in a single game in the finals, his performance would still be the same.

It failed to conquer the picky Americans.

In other words, even if you are a center with a height of over 220cm, you may be ranked in the top three draft picks like Yao. Even if you are a power forward like Rua Lian, your data is enough to rank in the top five.

But, sorry, you are a defender!

In terms of excellent defenders, China is not a specialty of China.

Whether it's point guard or shooting guard, there are a lot of excellent local players. Among the foreign players who have entered the NBA in recent years, only the golden boy Rubio is slightly better.

Going forward ten or twenty years, there were excellent foreign guards, such as Nash, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, but none of them were yellow-skinned guards, and none came from the great power of China.

Picky Americans believe that no matter how good Radar performs in the CBA, it is impossible to achieve the achievements of Iverson, Kobe, Wade, McGrady and others in the NBA, even if it is foreign players Dellavedova, Patty Mills,

Even your radar can't do it.

It's not that we look down on you, but China's defenders are really a bit miserable. We saw too many of them in the Basketball World Cup and the Olympics.

This is a kind of pride and prejudice!

As NBA President Adam Silver took the stage, he first welcomed all the players participating in the draft, delivered his own speech, and encouraged the players participating in the draft. What he basically meant was that the draft pick does not mean anything, as long as you work hard enough.

, the NBA will always have room for you to play, etc.

When he announced this year's No. 1 pick, the whole place became quiet, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and everyone was waiting eagerly.

"The New York Kniello.ball from NBL!" (The New York Kniello. ball from the NBL!)

LaMelo Ball, I have heard of it on Radar, is 6 feet 3 inches, 1.91 meters, born in a basketball family, and is also a point guard. He is also known as the three-ball player because there was Colonzo Ball before him. 40

The triple-double data of +11+10 is indeed very powerful.

Wang Qinan and Manager Liao seemed a little depressed. How is Radar worse than him? Radar averages a triple-double per game and a quadruple-double in a single game!

Radar was not surprised. He has been paying attention to draft news and predictions these days. The top three players are almost certain, but he is not in the top three.

For the second place, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Anthony Edwards from the University of Memphis. He is also a defender with extraordinary talent and unlimited potential. He is the number one high school student in the United States and his reputation is not in vain.

Next, teams made their choices one by one, the Atlanta Hawks, Celtics, Suns...

After selecting ten teams in a row, unfortunately, the name of Radar still did not appear.

Wang Qinan felt a little angry and dissatisfied. Why, Radar has the ability to be in the top three, but it can't even enter the top ten.

Is it because the American team is too picky, or is the data from the CBA league not worth mentioning in their eyes? This year is not a big year for the draft, but it should be considered a big year for defenders, with two defenders in the top three and one in the top three.

There were 5 defenders out of ten.

Although I have a calm mind and don't want to worry about the draft picks, I feel very uncomfortable. Being looked down upon and ignored by others is a slight on the individual and a slight on the Chinese men's basketball team. Who can behave calmly?

But this is their territory. If you want to play here, you have to listen to them. What can you do if they don't choose you?

NBA teams are not short of money, they want rookie players who are suitable for their team.

Some people in the live broadcast rooms of China, tx sports, yaaho sports, etc. have already cursed, what kind of hot chicken draft, why don't you choose my radar?

tx sports commentator Yang Yi: This is beyond all of our expectations. We can understand that Radar is not in the top three, and we can barely accept that it is not in the top five. However, there is no Radar in the top ten. We are very disappointed and we are not willing to accept it.

Commentator Yu Jia: Why? Hey, why? The radar is worse than theirs.

Basketball poet Zhou Zhou: If God doesn’t follow people’s will, then God will not do what he wants.

You don't know what to do in the NBA draft. Those are our Chinese Wings, and they suffered such insults.

From Zhou Zhou's point of view, if Radar didn't make it into the top five, it was like humiliation.

Countless fans are angry and unwilling. This is how you treat me, the best defender in China.

Radar, come back, we are not going!

Radar, let’s continue playing CBA, it’s better than being criticized there!

Radar, we believe in you, come on!

Countless fans called for Radar to return, but they had already signed up and it was too late.

Zhou Zhou roared at the end: I hate myself and hide my poems in clothes, but I am envious of being on the list. It doesn’t matter, you ignore me today, but you can’t reach me tomorrow. We believe that the radar will be able to brave the wind and waves.

Occasionally, I will hang my sails directly across the sea.

As Zhou Zhou said, today's radars are all empty-handed, just like the great poet Li Bai in ancient times.

The draft continued, and finally at the eleventh pick, Radar's name appeared.

Adam Silver adjusted his glasses and announced with a smile: "The San Antonio Spurs selected defender Radar from the China CBA!"

Keyboard Warrior: Mad, there is still someone who knows the goods, but you showed up too late.

Not bad, one or two ahead of Kobe Bryant.

Radar walked onto the stage. There were not many people applauding, but there were actually two or three boos mixed in. The camera immediately turned to show Adam Silver and Radar on the stage, fearing that the source of the two or three boos would be discovered.

Commentator Yang Yi: The best news today is that Reda has joined the Spurs. This is a team he hopes to join. We believe that Reda will be able to prove himself as long as he has enough time.

After the draft ended, Radar contacted Fang Lu and discussed posting a diary on his Weibo, which was probably what he wanted to do.

Thanks to the love of domestic fans. The draft pick does not completely represent the strength. The 11th pick is already very good, even better than Kobe. You don’t need to be angry or dissatisfied with me. As the saying goes, gold will always shine.

of.

After entering the NBA, I can't guarantee how much success I will have in the future, but I can tell everyone for sure that Radar will not give up. I will work harder to be the No. 1 pick, the second pick, or the third pick. If I don't work hard, I will still be eliminated.

Please rest assured that all fans who support Radar, I will prove with actions that Chinese players and defenders are no worse than anyone else. Thank you again to all fans for your support!!!
Chapter completed!
