Chapitre 189: 188 Tripartite Standoff

Hunter held his breath tightly—

Both being running backs, why was there such a huge disparity in treatment?

Hunter and Kamara were alike; they didn't deny Li Wei's excellence. Getting picked in the second or third round was not a problem; but they didn't think themselves inferior to Li Wei, nor did they believe that Li Wei deserved a higher pick than Fournette or McCaffrey.

In Hunter's eyes, Li Wei's outstanding performance in the NCAA was credited to the University of Alabama's unparalleled offensive line, as well as Saban's array of strategic deployments around the ground attack, creating inherent conditions for the success of a running back. Any running back would perform well in that system.

And the draft?

In reality, the draft was also a commercial performance, to see who could market themselves better. Even though Li Wei was a first-round pick and Hunter was third-round, he didn't believe that represented the real difference in their abilities.
