"CCTV, CCTV! Good morning, audience friends! I'm Yu Jia. In a few minutes, the 2007 NBA Draft will begin at Madison Square Garden in New York. Because of the participation of Chinese players Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue, CCTV Sports Channel specially broadcast this grand event. We also specially invited everyone's old acquaintance Zhang Lizhang to guide and explain and comment on this draft conference. ”

"Hello everyone!"

"Director Zhang, you have been living in the United States, and you must be more familiar with the situation over there. Can you tell the fans in front of the TV about some of the news you learned? ”

"According to what I know now, the positions of the champion and the top eye have basically been decided. If nothing else, Greg. Oden will certainly be drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers, who hold the No. 1 pick. Next, the Seattle SuperSonics will pick Kevin. Durant. Now let's see if Ah Lian can impact the order of Tanhua! ”

"Coach Zhang, our domestic fans may not be very familiar with Oden and Durant, can you give us a brief introduction."

"Okay. Both players were announced to participate in the draft after playing in college for a year. In fact, when they were in high school, they were very famous in the American basketball world. Therefore, the fact that this draft can be so optimistic is also the conclusion that these NBA teams have reached after years of observation. ”

"It seems that the United States is worthy of the title of the world's number one basketball power, and countless young talents emerge every year. Oh yes. Sun Yi, a Chinese player who plays at Duke University, has a future if he participates in this draft. ”

"As soon as you talk about it, I feel a little sorry for this child. In the eyes of many sports media in the United States, if Sun Yi runs, then the champion is likely to be produced between him and Oden. The most pessimistic media also gave him a place to explore the flowers. You must know that Sun Yi's outstanding performance this season has won the three most important awards for college players. Actually, I had a relationship with this kid at Jordan's training camp in Los Angeles two years ago......"

There were seven or eight minutes left before the draft began. Yi Jianlian, who was followed by all Chinese fans, entered the venue calmly accompanied by his parents. Under the guidance of the on-site staff, go straight to the 'green room', which represents the identity of the lottery draft. The table with the nameplate of 'Yi Jian Lian' in both Chinese and English was placed in the first row. It seems that the league is very optimistic about the draft prospects of this Chinese power forward.

Yi Jianlian, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was particularly handsome today. It's just that he always seems to give people a feeling of anxiety.

You must know that all the draft players who can enter the 'green house', after more than a month of physical testing and interviews, have a good idea of which teams they fancy themselves. Some teams will even tell their players directly what they will do and how many times they will be delisted. With Yao Ming's successful precedent, this handsome Chinese men's basketball rising star should not lack teams interested in him.

This is to say that when Yi Jianlian left for the United States to transit in Hong Kong, Harris, the general manager of the Bucks, made a special trip to the East in order to meet with the Chinese player who refused the Milwaukee Bucks' tryout invitation.

Perhaps, he was moved by the sincerity of the other party, and he resolutely did not go to the Bucks to play before, but he still gave this former national team head coach Harris's son, Larry. Harris had a chance.

"Milwaukee is a small city, but we can give you the best room to develop and ensure that you have a ...... position in the team and even playing time."

Harris's promise made Yi Jianlian, who had a resolute attitude before, hesitate. After communicating with his agent, Fagan, he left a crack in the door for the small northern team in this league......

Many years later, Yi Jianlian recalled that if he had been more resolute at that time, his NBA career might not have been so tortuous.

Don't look at the Milwaukee Bucks as a small team, but the team is no less than the big team. The team's highly praised scoring guard Michael. Reed, who is working with starting point guard Mo. William Moss is battling for the distribution of the ball on the pitch and the position of locker room boss. You know, there is also a 05-year-old champion Bogut pestle in the team. This kind of team atmosphere is definitely not a good choice for the introverted Yi Jianlian.

However, the premise of all this is after the Boston Celtics, who have the No. 5 draft pick, give up this Chinese star power forward.

In the process of interviewing Yi Jianlian, the two parties can be said to have Lang You's concubine, and after all the things that need to be done are done, they almost carry the sedan chair into the door.

Today, why is he restless? Before entering the market, the agent Fagan said, "They may have a new plan." "They, needless to say, mean the Celts. The new plan, which is completely out of the scope of the Chinese guy's cognition. Isn't it clear that the two sides have negotiated face-to-face, will this still change?

NBA commissioner David Brown. Stern's speech heralded the start of the exciting 2007 draft.

Greg. Oden, Kevin. Durant was undoubtedly picked by the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle SuperSonics, who have the first two draft picks.

Sun Yi, who was sitting in front of the computer in the dormitory watching the live broadcast, was chatting with the female netizen named Tamar while blessing his friend who got his wish.

"Narcissistic and stingy guys, don't you feel jealous when you see someone else being chosen?" The girl was also apparently watching the live stream of the draft.

"Haha! You've guessed it, I'm so jealous and angry right now. Sun Yi, who was accustomed to the way the other party chatted, replied with a smile and continued to pay attention back to the live broadcast.

"You're too boring to talk to at all."

"Wow! Horford was actually drafted by the Hawks. I really didn't expect why not their captain Joaquin. Noah? "The question is simple, because Noah is a full year and two months older than Horford. It seems that age is a very important statistic for the guys who participate in the NBA draft.

"What are you doing? Can you post a report on the Grizzlies' selection of Mike. Conley's opinion. ”

"So far, so good. The quality of these four players is really outstanding. ”

……

"Director Zhang, do you think the Boston Celtics, who have the fifth pick, will choose Allen?"

"As things stand, it's very likely."

……

At the draft meeting, when it was the Boston Celtics' turn to choose a player, David Brown. Stern didn't come out to announce the results for a long time, which made the nervous Yi Jianlian have a bad premonition.

"The Boston Celtics chose Jeff Brown from Georgetown University. Green. Stern's words, which were long overdue, made the reporters at the scene burst into discussions......

Why him?

"Why him? I think Mark. Gasol has every quality to be in this position. ”

"Mark. Gasol? Didn't hear of it, and Paul. What is Gasol's relationship? I think Joaquin. Noah should have been drafted by the Boston Celtics. It seems that Sun Yi did not hate him because of Noah's foul, but affirmed the strength of the other party.

"You are a naked provocation to Spanish basketball, wait, you will definitely pay the price."

"Huh! If you're going to talk about Spanish football, I'll probably give you three points. As for basketball, in my eyes, there is no one who can play. Oh, by the way, what does Spanish basketball have to do with you? ”

"I, I, I ......"

"What are you, are you from the Spanish women's basketball team? Well, but it doesn't look like you, I guess it's your relative, right? ”

"You, you, you, it's too much! If I send you another message, it's a puppy! ”

Sun Yi, who was sweating wildly, didn't expect to make such a vicious oath because of a joke of his own!

……

"This choice of the Boston Celtics is a bit incomprehensible." Zhang's reasonable guidance, who predicted Allian's Tanhua, was also confused by the current situation.

"The latest news from the front, select Kevin. Durant's SuperSonics, with Ray. Aaron, Glenn. Davis was traded to Szzebiak for the Celtics. West, Jeff. Green, and a future second-round pick. It seems, Jeff. Green is for the SuperSonics. ”

……

Yi Jianlian, whose brain is in a vacuum, didn't even notice that the Milwaukee Bucks were drafted with the sixth pick. Why? Why is this happening? Why does such a big person talk like a fart? It seems that this Chinese guy has not yet understood that this alliance is indeed a business field......

Under the reminder of the staff, Yi Jianlian finally understood what had just happened, took the baseball cap printed with the Bucks logo handed by the other party, and strode to the front desk......

"Looks like he's not happy!"

"yes, I think he should be glad for such a high draft."

"Don't you all know? Yi's age is not 1987 at all, it is likely to be 86 or 85, or even greater. ”

"Wow! Aren't the Bucks a big one? ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

A group of American reporters whispered in the audience......

In fact, if it weren't for the Milwaukee Bucks' cross-cutting bar, the Golden State Warriors, who had already received Charlotte Bobcats' No. 8 pick, would have chosen Chinese player Yi Jianlian. Because, the old Nelson, who was the coach of the Warriors at the time, liked this template for Nowitzki Chinese players very much.

Everyone's life will experience countless crossroads that are difficult to choose, and Yi Jianlian chose the worst path at this critical intersection......

Yi Jianlian, who participated in the regular press conference, looked at every reporter with a reluctant expression.

"Excuse me, how much do you know about the Milwaukee Bucks, the team that drafted you?" The reporter's question was not tricky, and it didn't seem to embarrass the Chinese guy.

"Ugh! …… The Milwaukee team doesn't broadcast many games in China, and I don't know much about it, except that I know that the team has Michael. Reid is a good player. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Lizhang slapped his thigh, it was going to be bad! It's speechless. Even if they're the worst team in the league, you can't say that. There are definitely a lot of Bucks players who are watching you play in front of the media right now. And, you just mentioned Reed, Namo. Can William Moss be willing? People are in competition with Reed in the team.

Indeed, Yi Jianlian, who grew up in a collective environment, lacked some oriental wisdom when dealing with the media. If Yao Ming were to put it along, he would definitely say something like: "Milwaukee is a beautiful city, and I'm really looking forward to feeling the enthusiasm of the Bucks fans." This kind of watertight answer will be very satisfying to the media and the team.

After opening the student identity certificate, Yi Jianlian's unsatisfactory development in the NBA also has a lot to do with his character who is not good at dealing with people. Because of this simple sentence, 'Mo Bu Chuan' has become the target of countless Chinese fans' verbal criticism for a period of time. But if you think about it carefully, as a result of this phenomenon, Yi Jianlian himself may not have no place for deep reflection and self-reflection.

……

When Sun Yue was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 40th pick, Zhang Li Zhang shouted: "The Lakers selected Sun Yue to find a passer for Kobe." "Let's not mention that this is an exaggerated compliment, Coach Zhang is indeed sincerely happy because there are successors to the national team. The former national player is the only Chinese player in Chinese to win the title of World Championship scoring champion. After retiring, he became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team for a time. Coach Zhang, who will be 58 years old in a few days, can say that the best years of his life have been dedicated to China's basketball career. Indeed, he is a respectable basketball senior.

……

"Isn't it! Mark. Gasol was only selected at 48, these NBA managers with no eyes. "The girl who had just made a poisonous oath seemed to have forgotten her previous promise.

Sun Yi was not surprised to see this news, if it was more serious, the other party didn't know how many puppies it had become.

"Oh, yes. You're still in Houston, are you on vacation duty? ”

"Hmmm! That's right! However, after the end of the course next week, I will be back in Spain. ”

"No wonder your opinion is so big, it's understandable, after all, it's a fellow countryman."

"No, in fact, Mark's strength is very strong, it's just that the Americans don't understand it. I'm sure that sooner or later, those NBA managers who didn't pick Mark will regret their choice today. Indeed, when a few years later, Mark. When Gasol appeared on the stage of the All-Star Game, the girl's prophecy came true.

"You know him well?"

"No, uh! yes, we see each other a lot. ”

Well? The Chinese guy who has been locked in love for more than two years suddenly felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart! (To be continued.) )
