In fact, watching the draft is not a fun process, and only true fans will be interested in the draft. Because the draft is not like a regular game, you can watch the game go even if you are not a fan, and the intense competition is attractive for any sports fan; But the draft conference is confusing for non-fans and pseudo-fans, who don't recognize the rookies on the court, don't understand the needs of each team, and don't understand the mystery of the draft rankings, so they naturally look bored.

But for Hugo, the most interesting part is the suspense.

In the NBA draft process, in fact, the champion of each year will be relatively clear, because the strength of the comprehensive strength will be more obvious, and the team does not have any concerns about the main position of the player on the court, and the complicated process of selection is naturally much simpler. However, the NFL draft not only has a comparison between the strength of the players, but also many factors such as player positions and team considerations, which is very cumbersome.

After the draft begins, each team has 15 minutes to discuss in the first round of the draft before deciding on their own rookies. Due to the particularity of the NFL draft, in addition to the first three picks are relatively simple and clear, the subsequent selections are white-hot competition, and after their preset rookies are picked by the previous team, which rookie should be chosen in what position when it is their turn, which is the core issue that will affect the construction of the team in the coming year.

Therefore, during these fifteen minutes, the team discussed and argued fiercely in a special war room; The audience at the scene discussed and argued passionately in their own positions, and they all argued red-faced, eager to roll up their sleeves and go directly to the court to give ideas for the teams or rookies they support; Even the reporters couldn't help but start-for-tat discussions and disputes, and the scene looked very lively.

The same is true of Joseph, Steven, and David. The three of them are obviously loyal fans, and when they discuss it, they are simply red-eyed, with red faces and thick necks yelling there, Steven is still saying "Forty-nine need to defend the tackle...... one second", and the next second is interrupted by Joseph, "Is Steve's pocket protection enough?" But before Steven could answer, David couldn't wait to shout, "I think the lineman is the priority......"

Hugo and Leonardo, who were caught in the middle, only felt that they were surrounded by enemies left and right, and only hoped that they could be as small as possible and not become cannon fodder for the war between the two sides, Leonardo said sadly, "Joe, why don't you and Hugo change positions?" As a result, this sentence was directly ignored, and Joseph continued to discuss with David, "Everyone is grabbing an excellent lineback, but the problem is that there is no bright lineback ...... this year"

Hugo and Leonardo looked at each other sadly, helpless, especially when Hugo saw Samora sitting next to him eating pizza and patting his belly with satisfaction.

"Smack", a bean-sized spit flew to Leonardo's forehead, Leonardo suddenly had a black line on his head, and his eyes looked up, but he looked helpless. Hugo looked back and found that Steven had already begun to roll up his sleeves, even if Steven was the culprit, he felt that it was wiser not to worry about it at this time, so Hugo silently raised his right hand and wiped the spit clean with the sleeve of his coat.

But before Hugo could withdraw his hand, "snap", two salivas fell on Hugo's cheeks one after another, Hugo closed his eyes sadly, and his lips were tightly pursed together, wanting to cry without tears. Then Leonardo looked at Hugo with a look of pity on his face, raised his left hand and wiped the saliva away with the tip of his thumb.

Today's draft was highly competitive from the first round, and in the end, the Cincinnati Tigers selected a defensive tackle, Dan Wilkinson from Ohio State University. Wiikinson) became the champion show. At this time, David and Joseph were immediately excited, while Steven was depressed and chanted, abbreviated as "The Tigers will regret it".

The Ohio media who were not able to sit in the first row of the press box were even more ecstatic, so that those reporters in the first row were so depressed that they didn't even have the courage to turn their heads, and the scene became a sea of jubilation in an instant.

What's even more shocking is that the top show is still not a quarterback, but Marshall from San Diego State University. Faulk), which is a running back.

Not to mention Steven, Joseph and David didn't expect it, and both thought that the Indianapolis Colts had made a big mistake. Even many fans couldn't understand it, and the scene kept comparing, but the fans and media at San Diego State University cheered.

Steven's optimistic Hayes Schuller became a flower show, and the Washington Redskins were disappointed, but they still agreed, but David and Joseph both thought that the Washington Redskins should choose linebacks instead of quarterbacks, and they discussed it for a long time.

For Hugo, his only thought was: it turned out that the unlucky ghost who selected Hayes was this team! The team manager really doesn't have a good eye.

Although the selection of the first three picks is over, in fact, the real draft is only now begins, and the discussion of Steven, Joseph, and David is getting more and more intense, and they are simply more nervous than the team in the fifteen minutes that each team can make selection.

In fact, Hugo also wanted to join the discussion, but his knowledge of rugby was really not as deep as that of a few other people, and he had no way to interject. To discuss the issue of rookies, we must have a basic understanding of the team's tactical system and positional role, as well as an in-depth understanding of the various teams in the NFL, and finally have a clear understanding of this year's rookies before we can export them.

Hugo was a fan, but he didn't have enough time to study the details, so he had to be an observer.

But it must be admitted that listening to the heated discussion of the three people next to him, there is still a lot to gain, Hugo and Leonardo also began to mumble in private - Leonardo also knows something about rugby, although not as proficient as basketball.

Soon, the first round of the draft was over, but the atmosphere during the break was still hot, even more intense than during the draft, and everyone was discussing the success or failure of the first round of the draft, and at the same time arguing about how the second round should be.

Samora asked excitedly, "I'm going to buy another bucket of popcorn, do you want it?" Hugo and Leonardo looked at each other and raised their hands in surrender, but this did not dampen Samora's interest, and he ran out with the crowd again.

Hugo looked at the more than 200 rookies sitting in the audience nervously on the opposite side, although the first round of the draft has ended, there is still no way to predict how the remaining six rounds will develop. Generally speaking, being selected in the second round is relatively high-profile, and after the third round, it is basically a formality, not only can you not see the excitement of the team's heated discussions, but also you can't see the scenes of fans arguing in red faces, and even the media reporters will gradually disperse.

This harsh reality is part of competitive sports, and these rookies are all entering the draft with big dreams and hoping to be part of the NFL, but not everyone can achieve their dreams.

In the crowd, Hugo's eyes suddenly locked on an ordinary big man, and then froze, quieted down and looked at the big man seriously.

The big man was inconspicuous when he sat in a crowd of strong men, and although not every one of the rugby players was tall and strong, and there were some short and nimble players, there were indeed a lot of big guys, so he sat in a crowd and was almost submerged. However, Hugo still saw him, not because he was very distinctive and easy to recognize, but because he seemed to be isolated, and the other players around him did not talk to him, as if he was isolated in another world, even if there was a lot of noise around him, it was still quiet in his world.

The big man sat quietly in his seat, looking around with some trepidation, but the unclear eyes could not hide the panic and confusion in his heart. Although there are many players next to him who have such looks, after all, they were not selected after the first round of the draft, if they are not selected in the second round...... So everyone is inevitably worried; But the tension and entanglement of this big man is like a thick wall, distinguishing him from the others.

Due to the distance, Hugo did not have a way to see the appearance of the big man clearly, but he knew that the big man should be the hero in his mind, and he was also an important person who made him like rugby before the crossing.

As long as he thought that he had the opportunity to witness the historical moment when his idol participated in the draft, Hugo couldn't hold back his excitement, he suddenly stood up, startled Joseph, Steven, and David, who were talking fiercely, and then Hugo walked quickly towards the opposite audience without saying a word.

However, Hugo was soon stopped by the security guards, and because there were many fans at the scene, the seat where the rookie was sitting was isolated, and the fans were forbidden to approach. Hugo, of course, was no exception.

Standing outside the quarantine area, looking at the idol who was only less than two hundred yards away from him, Hugo's inner surging could not be suppressed, but Hugo was still dissuaded by Leonardo, who followed closely, and returned to his position.

Since then, Hugo has no longer paid attention to the draft, he just quietly watches the process of the draft: sure enough, as in the historical development, the second round is over, and Dahan is not selected; The third round is over, and Dahan is still not selected.

The big man sat quietly in his chair, motionless, and watched with trepidation as he watched the fading crowd around him, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
