Chapter 101 Domestic Voices
In the studio of Tencent Sports, as rookies were selected one by one, more than 20 people have been selected, but Zhou Qi's name has not yet been read. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dad Zhou sat there as if he didn't have the previous conversation and laughter, but was a little flustered and nervous, and even when the commentators were talking, he secretly lowered his head to look at his mobile phone.
Many netizens who were paying attention began to comment: "Dad Zhou can't sit still." "Did Dad Zhou get a commitment from any team?" "Will Zhou Qi lose the election?" ......
Of course, Zhao Wei didn't know these things. He was still at his table waiting for his name to be called.
"Next up is the Phoenix Suns selection, and we'll give them five minutes to talk." Xiao Hua finished speaking like a machine and retreated to the backstage.
"Is that guy Kupchak crazy, he is willing to spend 12 million to choose a Chinese defender. You must know that Chinese guards are almost unable to gain a foothold in the NBA due to physical limitations. Even if it's just as a player at the end of the bench. Ryan pouted, thinking that Kupchak must have had a head show.
"Manager, isn't it that we can't get the money?" A staff member said worriedly.
"Hehe, five million, that's enough for a pick at the end of the first round. For the rest, let's take it as a lottery. Ryan smiled, "Go and inform Xiao Hua that we will choose Zhao Wei from Duke University and trade it to the Los Angeles Lakers." ”
"The Phoenix Suns selected ......players from China with the 28th pick," Xiao Hua said this, and the Tencent Sports studio went crazy and began to celebrate. Father Zhou finally smiled at this time. But the next words froze everyone.
Xiao Hua finished the last words: "Zhao Wei." Then the big screen showed that the Suns traded Zhao Wei to the Lakers.
When he first heard that he was selected by the Suns, Zhao Wei was not happy, but when he saw the transaction information displayed on the big screen, Zhao Wei smiled. Dong Minghui and others got up one by one and hugged Zhao Wei. Dong Minghui even shed tears.
Zhao Wei walked on stage with joy, shook hands with Xiao Hua, and was interviewed by the media. But the country is in chaos. Because of Zhou Qi's high-profile draft live broadcast, Tencent Sports' channel is facing the whole country, and I don't know how many people are in front of the computer.
The narrator was the first to react and made a look at the staff outside. The staff immediately went to collect information about Zhao Wei. And Father Zhou, who originally had a bright smile on his face, sat there very embarrassed and didn't say a word.
At this time, when the next rookie was announced, the commentator cleverly picked up the topic and began to rebroadcast the draft meeting, after all, the protagonist of today's draft meeting has not yet appeared.
In the subtle atmosphere of the two commentators talking eloquently and Zhou's father sullen. Zhao Wei's information was sent to the commentator.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must still be confused by the mysterious face of yellow skin that appeared in the draft just now, and now I will uncover the mystery for you. Zhao Wei: He is indeed Chinese, he is an international student, he has lived in the United States since he was a child, and graduated from Duke University. Due to their mistakes in the United States, Zhao Wei was marked as from Duke University, so we did not receive news that there was a third Chinese in this year's draft, and it was selected in the first round. Rest assured, we'll be back to you shortly. The narrator ended his report on Zhao Wei.
The draft is still going on, and it's not just Dad Zhou who is anxious. The two commentators also began to get anxious. Because at this time, it has reached the second round of more than forty picks. The most news before was that Zhou Qi would be selected by the Suns, and when Zhou's father first came, he had already hinted very clearly. If Zhou Qi loses, then their live broadcast today will become a big joke.
"The Rockets drafted Zhou Qi, a player from China with the 43rd pick." The voice of anticipation finally came from the signal ahead.
Before the video, Zhou's father breathed a sigh of relief. The two commentators were also secretly relieved, but fortunately they kept the show.
Everyone was celebrating, and the live broadcast of the draft was temporarily suspended. All that resounded on the screen was all kinds of congratulatory sounds.
While they were cheering and celebrating, they ignored another Chinese player, Wang Zhelin. He was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 57th pick. At this moment, perhaps only his family and some friends gave him blessings.
The draft ended successfully, and the live broadcast of the draft ended unexpectedly.
Many media and organizations in China are making every effort to collect information about Zhao Wei.
A thick stack of materials was placed in front of him, and Hu Jiashi frowned as he flipped through them.
Bai Xilin sat down honestly, not daring to make any noise and interrupt the director.
"Well, Lao Bai, have you read all these materials?" Hu Jiashi asked suddenly.
"Yes, Director." Bai Xilin replied.
"What do you think?" Hu Jiashi asked in a deep voice.
"Director, this Zhao Wei is indeed a Chinese national. He went to the United States when he was a child, so we never heard about him on our side. He didn't go to high school, but went straight to Duke this year. Duke's initial game showed signs of discomfort, but as the game progressed, he gradually adapted to the game and was quite consistent. Appeared as a small forward off the bench and once had a 20-point performance in a single game. It's a rare talent, and I think it's a great fit for our national team. Hu Jiashi said.
"That means it's his first year playing in the professional league." Bai Xilin paid more attention to what Hu Jiashi began to say, and his brows furrowed.
"Yes. But ......" Hu Jiashi wanted to add something, but was interrupted by Bai Xilin waving his hand.
Bai Xilin picked up the teacup in front of him, frowned, and said after a long time: "Lao Hu, such a young man can compete in the NCAA, and he is at Duke University, he is indeed a potential star worth looking forward to, but after all, he has too little experience and no experience in competitions. And our team has already experienced the run-in of the Asian Championships, and the chemistry is already quite good. ”
"However, director, except for the United Arab Emirates, Guo Allen and Zhou Peng, the other players in our team have no experience in real competitions. And the NCAA is no lower than the level of our Asian Championships. Hu Jiashi suggested.
"Uh-huh---。" Bai Xilin fell into contemplation again, this matter is indeed a headache for him, now that the team lineup has been basically set, suddenly replace one person, it is okay to perform well, in case the performance is not good, then he is pushing himself to the cusp. Any responsibility during the Olympics will become his responsibility, and his position as director may be lost as a result. "It's useless for the two of us to argue, I've already contacted Gong Luming, he's more professional than the two of us, let's listen to his opinion before deciding."
"Okay, Director." Hu Jiashi agreed, but he still had some opinions in his heart, and he also thought of Bai Xilin's worries, and called Gong Luming to come, just to pull one into the water and one more person to take responsibility. But he doesn't look down on such behavior, that's how human psychology is. If he had been in this position, he would have done the same.
Whew!!
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Hu Jiashi shouted.
Gong Luming walked in in sportswear, sweating slightly on his head, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.
"Lao Gong, are you busy?" Hu Jiashi wanted to say a greeting before getting into the subject.
As soon as Gong Luming sat down, he was asked such a question by Hu Jiashi, and he almost stood up, glanced at Hu Jiashi, and said in a stiff tone: "Director, is there something wrong with me?" There's a lot going on on the team, and I'm going to have to rush back right away. "Tell Hu Jiashi directly at the beginning, say something quickly, I'll leave if it's okay. I'm very busy.
Hu Jiashi smiled, don't look at him as the director, but he didn't dare to offend Gong Luming too much, Gong Luming helped the Chinese team regain its hegemony in the last Asian Championships, but it has risen a lot. "Lao Gong, you should have heard of the kid named Zhao Wei who participated in the draft this year."
"Well, I heard that." Gong Luming nodded.
"What do you think of this kid? Is there a chance to join our team this year? Hu Jiashi asked.
"Well, Director, I know you want to add as much strength as possible to the team, but the team is now stable, and I'm worried that replacing players at this time will disturb the atmosphere of the team. And you also know that Zhou Qi also participated in the draft this year, but the pick did not satisfy him. I heard his father say that it seems that the Suns promised Zhou Qi with the 28th pick, but they chose Zhao Wei with the 28th pick. I'm worried that Zhao Weilai's words will ......" Gong Luming did not continue. But the two people present already knew Gong Luming's answer. His worries are also normal, knowing that infighting can be fatal for a team.
"Well, let's take a look at this again. He has not lived in the country, and I am afraid that recruitment is also a problem. Hu Jiashi also said.
Bai Xilin, who was on the side, was anxious when he heard this. The director meant that this was the end, and hurriedly said: "Director, Gong Gui, although you know Zhao Wei, you don't know who this kid has been trained all along. ”
"Huh?" Hu Jiashi looked at Bai Xilin suspiciously.
"Uncle De and Coach K." Bai Xilin watched the drama and hurriedly said.
"Really?" Hu Jiashi's eyes lit up, and his voice was two decibels higher.
Bai Xilin nodded affirmatively.
"The Old Palace." Hu Jiashi looked at Gong Luming again.
"Director, so be it. You can get in touch with that Zhao Wei first, but you need to give me time to go back and do some team work. Gong Luming said embarrassedly.
"Alright, that's it." Hu Jiashi responded, "Originally, I also wanted to observe the strength of this child." Lao Bai, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
"Okay, Director." Bai Xilin agreed, and complained again and again in his heart: "You make up your mind like this, in case I get in touch and people agree, you say no, then... That... Hey, leave everything that offends people to me. ”
Dong Minghui is with Lucy and coffee. After Zhao Wei finished the draft, Lucy quit her job. The trio returned to California.
Jingle bells, jingle bells......
"Hey, hello." Dong Minghui said.
"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Zhao Wei?" Bai Xilin asked cautiously.
"Who are you?" Dong Minghui asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I am Bai Xilin, the leader of the Chinese national team. Bai Xilin introduced himself.
"Oh oh, hello. Hello. I am Dong Minghui, Zhao Wei's agent. Dong Minghui said with a smile.
"Hello Agent Dong. We saw Mr. Zhao Wei's participation in the draft, and the country's leaders appreciate Mr. Zhao Wei's talent very much, and I would like to ask, does Mr. Zhao Wei have the will to serve the country? Bai Xilin said kindly.
"Oh, this, even though I'm his agent, I need to ask for his opinion." Dong Minghui said.
"Yes, yes, yes." Bai Xilin echoed.
"Alright, white-collar team, we'll get back in touch." Dong Minghui said.
"Okay, goodbye. Be sure to get in touch. Bai Xilin was not at ease to emphasize again.
Dong Minghui hung up the phone and a smile appeared on his face.
"What's so much fun?" Lucy asked.
Xiaowei's prediction was indeed accurate. Just now the leader of our national men's basketball team called, wanting to recruit Xiaowei into the team. Dong Minghui said with a smile.
"Really? Did you say yes? "Lucy was very excited.
"No, don't worry, I'll talk about it in a few days. Let's wait until they're done with their own business. Dong Minghui said leisurely.
"I really don't understand you Orientals, you obviously want to go, but you still pretend to be deep." Lucy glanced at Dong Minghui.
"Hehe, you'll understand when you have more contact in the future. This is not called deep in our East, this is called strategy. Dong Minghui said proudly, "This is to fight for Xiaowei's better team status." ”
The media also quickly collected some information about Zhao Wei, and even hung the video of Zhao Wei's game on the Internet. Especially in the 20-point performance where Zhao Wei scored the highest, the click rate rose like a rocket.
As Zhao Wei became more and more known in China, many fans who had watched the video of the game began to comment on the Internet suggesting that the national team recruit Zhao Wei under his command. And this call is getting louder and louder.
Although the wave of calls generally came, Hu Jiashi and they were rarely deep this time, and they never made any moves. did not show any intention of recruiting Zhao Wei into his command at all.
And Zhao Wei has been given a nickname at this time, because Zhao Wei is also 2 meters tall, and he can also play as a defender, so fans call him the second Monkey King.
Although Zhao Wei is far away in California, he has told Dong Minghui to always pay attention to domestic news. This nickname, he naturally knows. When he first heard it, Zhao Wei felt that all the black lines were flowing from his head. Xin said: "Monkey King is Monkey King, why add a two." (To be continued.) )
