Chapter 49 Locking the No. 1 Award, Kise Ryōta Talent
"It seems he is quite popular tonight!"
"Hey man, I have to correct you on this! He's not popular tonight; he's popular in every game!!"
"Yes, you are right, my bad! You are right, I am wrong."
The two commentators talked freely.
But as the host opened the speech, the entire venue fell silent.
Everyone is very much looking forward to it.
Next, they will announce the draft order of each team.
The most anticipated thing is, of course, this year's top scorer!!
"I believe all the fans have been waiting for a long time!"
"Today is a very grand party, where we will meet countless outstanding newcomers joining the NBA."
"I know what everyone is looking forward to; it's the same every year. That's our No. 1 pick this year!"
"Who will it be!!"
The atmosphere in the audience was extremely warm at this time.
Countless fans cheered.
Most of the newcomers who came to the audition were also very excited.
But there are exceptions.
That person is Markelle Fultz.
He looked out of place sitting in the crowd.
There was no smile on his face; instead, there was some melancholy and sadness.
Earlier, he saw the media's predictions for this year's draft rankings.
I didn't lose the election but was in a pretty good position.
Second place.
That is what is called the second pick!
This is a great honor for any newcomer.
After all, in the drafts over the years, among so many newcomers every year, being able to get second place is already a pretty good result.
This shows that he has received considerable recognition!
But.
What he couldn't accept was the number one spot above him.
It's Sashiro!
What does that mean?
This means that if this Asian defender named Sashiro had not emerged out of nowhere.
Then I am definitely the undisputed number one!!
The top pick in the draft!!!
But what about now?
It was obvious and proven in previous matches that there was still a big gap between my strength and Sashiro's.
Depend on!!
I was almost the top pick!!
However, although he has some opinions about the media, he still holds a glimmer of hope that he can get the No. 1 pick.
Right?
What if?
At this time, the host continued:
"This year, we are looking forward to this No. 1 draft pick. He has excellent physical qualities and can maintain strong competitiveness in his own position!"
"Although he is a point guard, his scoring ability, passing, and tactical awareness are all quite good!"
"He even has extremely stable shooting and long-range shooting abilities! He can be said to be an extremely ideal point guard!"
...
Speaking of this.
Fultz was stunned.
Isn't this just talking about myself?
Point guard!
Have projection ability!
Good physical fitness!
And he has considerable scoring ability!!!
Could it be that!!
God has appeared!!
Hallelujah!
I'm going to be the top pick!!
While Fultz was excited, he heard the host on the stage continue:
"Let's welcome this year's top draft pick with applause!!"
"Selected by the Los Angeles Lakers... this year's No. 1 pick!!"
Fultz adjusted his hat.
He suppressed his excitement, stood up with a smile on his face, and greeted everyone around him.
But at this time.
The host read out his name.
"That's our talented Asian defender!! Sa-Shiro!!"
Ahem!!
This almost sprained Fultz's waist.
Awkward.
So embarrassing!
Depend on!
This is so embarrassing that his feet have dug out four bedrooms and a living room.
Nazha: Life is short; just be patient, and it will pass!
And when Sashiro's name was called out by the host.
Countless Lakers fans stood up and shouted "MVP"!!
Some fans even directly called him "Savior"!!
Very easy to understand.
After all, it is really hard to say that the Lakers' record this year is satisfactory.
Before this draft, they expected Sashiro to join the Lakers.
But.
Before the draft, they heard that the 76ers had already obtained the draft pick for the No. 1 pick.
That is to say.
Their expectations may very likely be dashed!
But now.
The Lakers actually got the No. 1 pick!!!
How could they not be excited!!!
And Sashiro also walked onto the stage and greeted everyone.
Of course, he was also excited.
After all, before this.
He had never experienced such a situation before.
But what excited him even more was...
The moment he heard the host read out his name, the system's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding Dong!!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully securing the top spot!"
"The system achievement has been completed, and everyone is looking forward to it!"
"I will immediately issue you a legendary reward!
Kise Ryōta's permanent talent ability!! 100% copy!!!"
"Abilities are being integrated... Fusion completed!!"
"Host, please keep up the good work in the NBA and achieve even better performance!!"
Kise Ryōta's talent!?
This is one of the bug-level abilities in Kuroko's Basketball, Age of Miracles!!
Even when facing Aomine Daiki, who is the ceiling level in Kuroko basketball, he can rely on his own ability to fight with him.
This ability can directly and perfectly copy the abilities of the opposing player.
Claim it as your own!!!
Moreover, the skills you learn from others can be preserved forever.
That is to say.
The more we fight, the stronger we become!!!
If we put this skill into the context of traditional martial arts novels, it would be roughly equivalent to the Wuxiang Divine Art!!
What is invincible?
This is invincible!!
At this point, Sashiro's excitement about becoming the No. 1 pick in this year's draft is not as great as his excitement about acquiring this talent!
At this time, when the audience heard the host call out Sashiro's name, they were equally excited.
Even more excited than Sashiro himself!!
It's not just because Sashiro was the No. 1 pick this year.
Moreover, Sashiro will become a member of the Lakers next!
This will greatly improve the vitality of the current Lakers lineup.
Even next season will bring them unexpected surprises.
Who knows!!
On the other hand, when the media heard the news.
In fact, everyone was very surprised.
Lakers?!
The top pick?!
In other words…
The Lakers successfully reached a deal with the 76ers before the draft!?
As expected.
The next second, the host continued to announce that Fultz became the second pick of the 76ers.
In an instant, all media were in an uproar!!
