    "Good morning, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to fans across the United States, as well as American fans watching on **tv and Canadian fans watching on cbctv, to the 2003 NBA Draft at Madison Square Garden,  Welcome you to join us, and there are some fans who are coming here. Thank you for your strong attendance. Let us start. The first pick of the NBA in 2003 came from the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have five  Minutes to make a decision.¡±

    David Stern read out a long series of opening remarks, which was very familiar to Anthony, but he had just played games before. Although he would be a little excited, it was completely different from the feeling at the scene.  , especially now it is closely related to myself.

    He is very likely to become the No. 1 pick in 2003. His starting point is higher than Carmelo Anthony. Maybe he can change Anthony's tragic fate in the future.

    Five minutes is a short time, but to Anthony and his relatives and friends, it seems like a long century has passed.

    Not far from Anthony's seat, LeBron James, who was wearing a white shirt, and his group of relatives and friends were also nervous, including Darko Milicic, who was wearing the same suit and red tie as Stern. He is a European player, and the group of relatives and friends  There are fewer people coming, but no matter which party they are, they are all anxiously waiting for the verdict of their fate.

    ¡°Bang¡­bang¡­¡±

    Anthony's heart beat faster and faster.

    Five minutes later, David Stern walked out again, and the crowd roared like a roaring tsunami.

    David Stern took out the card in his hand, and the Cavaliers team logo slid on the screen behind him, showing that the Cavaliers were selecting players at the moment.

    ¡°The first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft, selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers.¡± David Stern paused when he read this.

    The players in the Little Green Room, including the entire audience, held their breath, waiting for the name of the 2003 No. 1 pick to come out of David Stern's mouth.

    "LeBron James."

    Anthony¡¯s breathing stagnated and he clenched his fists involuntarily. He looked up at Mary and Daphne, as well as his two brothers and two friends. Their expressions were not very good.

    James¡¯s relatives and friends let out a burst of excited roars and cheers, which reached Anthony¡¯s ears, making him feel even more upset.

    Humans are greedy animals. When you have no expectations, giving something can satisfy you. But when you have the opportunity to get better but fail to get better in the end, you will become extremely frustrated and angry.  , this is the biggest characteristic of human greed.

    Originally, if Andrews didn't tell Anthony that he and Grant had reached an agreement, he felt that it would be a good choice to enter the NBA according to Anthony's old path, but he really had the expectation of the No. 1 pick, and Andrews looked confident.  , which directly gave him the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

    ¡°19-year-old small forward from St. Vincent St. Mary High School.¡±

    David Stern continued to introduce James' personal situation, and clips of James' high school games also began to play on the big screen.

    Soon, NBA staff sent James a Cleveland Cavaliers cap. James kissed his mother on the cheek affectionately, hugged his friends, and then walked toward the stage under the guidance of the staff.

    Watching James walk to the stage, Andrews turned pale. How could it be like this?  They had clearly agreed with Grant before, so why would they choose James, a high school student?

    The entire table was silent and no one spoke. Andrews seemed particularly embarrassed, but he had nothing to do now, because what he and Grant had made was only a verbal agreement. The so-called oral agreement was not bound by actual terms. Any party who breached the contract would be liable.  There are no consequences.

    In silence, five minutes passed quickly, and David Stern walked out again, this time with the Pistons team logo flashing behind him.

    The players and spectators of Little Green Room once again focused their attention on the white-haired old man in front of them.

    In the Nuggets' draft office, Kiki Vandeweghe sat there with a smile on his face. Watching Grant choose James, a high school student, he couldn't help but feel elated. Before that, he bribed members of the Cavaliers' draft team.  Several staff members were asked to keep bragging to Grant's ears how good James was and how many shortcomings Anthony had. Judging from the current results, his plan was successful.

    Watching the Pistons start to choose, he couldn't wait because the same thing happened;"Merlot, Merlot"

    Fans wearing Nuggets uniforms in the stands began to shout Anthony's name crazily and made various exaggerated poses to express their excitement about getting Anthony.

    Anthony walked slowly up the steps of the stage.

    He was still worried when he was off the stage, but the moment he stepped on the stage, he turned around and looked at the roaring tsunami of more than 20,000 people in the stands. That feeling disappeared in an instant. He stood there, feeling a little dazed for a moment.  .

    Not only the 20,000 people in front of him, but also thousands of others in front of the TV, in front of the computer, and even in his motherland on the other side of the ocean, there are thousands of people watching him. At this moment, he is the focus of the entire world.

    David Stern saw that the young man in front of him did not come over to shake hands with him and take pictures like the others. He thought that maybe he was too excited. He was already in his sixties, so naturally he would not care about young people.  He walked off the stage and walked towards the edge of the stage where he was.

    The audience roared with excitement, not knowing who was taking the lead.

    "Merlot! Merlot!"

    ??The chorus of uniform shouts made Anthony even more popular than James.

    This is the first time that an NBA president has been so far away from the host table.

    Anthony¡¯s thoughts were brought back to reality by the shouts of the crowd, and he was feeling strange.

    "Hey, Mero."

    As soon as Anthony turned his head, he saw Stern greeting him with a smile. The old man with half a century of hair showed a kind feeling.

    "David." Anthony excitedly held Stern's extended hand, his heart filled with excitement.

    ¡°Let¡¯s pose for a photo,¡± Stern said, turning to face the audience.

    "Ohoh, okay" Anthony stammered and turned around.

    For a moment, flashbulbs flashed everywhere, and Anthony and NBA Commissioner David Stern took a record photo of his draft at the edge of the stage.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
