Chapter 313: 2003 NBA Draft!

Yi Fei soared into the sky, a pun.

Soaring into the sky, literally, the bird spreads its wings and soars into the sky, meaning to shock others.

Yi Fei soars to the sky, which also refers to Yi Jianlian's style of play, the yellow race with the best physical fitness, flying away.

A literati is a literati, and every word makes people feel cultured.

However, whether it can soar to the sky depends on the final result of the draft.

That night, fans from all teams gathered at Madison Square Garden in New York, far more than in previous years.

The rapid development of network information has made fans' attention to the draft continue to rise.

And the media people present also set a new record in history.

This is a serious platinum generation, a historic moment that no one wants to miss.

Before the draft began, Sun Hao sat with Yi Jianlian, his parents, high school and college coaches.

At such critical moments, key figures are present.

There was still a period of time before the draft began, and the table on Sun Hao's side was a little lively.

James saw who he was going to beat in the future and came over to say hello;

Anthony saw the idol he respected and trained with, and he also came over to say hello;

Wade, who fought with Sun Hao at the Nike Adi sneaker promotion event in the past, well, let's introduce himself again;

In the end, Sun Hao felt that it was too disturbing to Yi Jianlian's family, so he went to the toilet for a while.

As a result, it bumped into Dior again.

The little boy who came to the Real Madrid locker room with Parker also came to the NBA draft this year.

The two chatted for a while.

Sun Hao suddenly felt that the 03 generation had a lot of contact with him.

By the time he returned to the little green house and sat down, the draft was about to begin.

On the commentary bench, Barkley, who has announced his retirement, has already chatted with Kenny Smith.

"The probability of LeBron being drafted by Denver is 99.9 percent."

This time back to the commentary box, Barkley has turned back to the "big mouth" that fans are familiar with.

And such a familiar scene also made the fans slightly excited.

Kerr partnered with Kenny Smith last season, and while Kerr's analysis was accurate most of the time, it always felt like something was missing.

Yes, a sense of entertainment.

The commentary is the same as the live broadcast industry that will appear in the future, and it is lively to watch.

Professionalism doesn't come first.

And TNT also made a big deal about this draft, and they brought Jordan, who was still resting at home, as a guest.

Jordan has just retired, the topic is on the charts, and Barkley's return, coupled with his appearance, has made TNT's ratings skyrocket.

After Barkley finished his judgment, Kenny Smith turned around and asked Jordan what he thought.

Jordan's views are very different from those of Barkley.

"Melo is more immediately powerful than LeBron, and his future development will be better, and his versatility will be a more dangerous scorer."

Jordan has a soft spot for Anthony.

It's not hard to see why.

Jordan had been to Anthony before, and the latter's offensive skills were really rare for a college student.

Anyone who has ever watched his college games will let out such an exclamation.

"Michael, I've talked about a lot more drafts than you, and I promise I'm more accurate."

Barkley looked confident and tried to convince Jordan.

Jordan can't see people accurately, but it's not something he only did after he became a boss.

"You mean to say that I can't see Yao accurately?"

Jordan then asked a rhetorical question, which made Barkley open his mouth for a long time and couldn't refute it.

Jordan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Barkley's expression.

Sun Hao's previous words were really in one sentence, and the selection of Yao Ming gave him one more thing worth pretending, and it was very big.

"Well, let's skip the topic of who's better."

Barkley ended up throwing his hands straight away.

"Kenny, what pick do you think Yi will be drafted in?"

Barkley managed to change the subject.

Because of Sun Hao and Yao Ming, the popularity of Chinese players in the NBA in the past two years can be described as a mosaic-style rise.

Yi Jianlian's athletic talent is the best ever, not to mention the strength, but also the attention, he is even higher than Bosh and Wade, and about the same level as Milicic.

"If you ask a question, you will talk about you first."

Kenny Smith is really a little clever ghost, a wave of moves, and a backhand is a Q.

Barkley pointed at Smith and finally at Jordan.

"I think he's going to Chicago."

Compared to these two old fritters of TNT, Jordan has almost zero experience in his commentary career and quickly jumped in.

"Why?"

"I hate to say that, but I know Klaus very well."

Jordan's reason is simple, but it sounds sounding.

"I think I'm going to be cut off by the Clippers, who spent his high school career in Los Angeles, where he showed off his most talent."

Once again, Barkley's views diverge with Jordan's.

"I chose Yao."

Jordan threw another killer move.

“!”

Barkley spread his hands.

Jordan laughed, he really loves Sun Hao to death now, this force can be pretended countless times.

"Charles, you have to believe in the eyes of the basketball gods, I have six championships, you know."

Jordan continued.

"But I just beat you and won the championship."

Barkley couldn't stand it anymore and also put a big move.

"You beat me? Buddy! You've only been on the pitch for 10 minutes! ”

"Guys, guys! The draft is about to begin! ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Smith immediately came out to put out the fire.

However, the bickering between Barkley and Jordan has completely warmed up the atmosphere of the scene.

Stern, who has gone from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

The 2003 NBA Draft kicked off!

As soon as Stern arrived at the stage, the audience was already booing.

The home whistle in the fourth game of the finals gave fans another reason to boo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in front of the TV and those who are coming to watch, welcome to Madison Square Garden, New York, where the 2003 NBA Draft is coming up next......"

Of course, Stern's face was as thick as a city wall, or the kind made of red brick, and when the boos fell, it was a familiar opening sentence.

"The first pick in the first round in 2003 belonged to the Denver Nuggets, and they had five minutes to think about it."

After Stern read out the result, which had been known for a long time, there was a tsunami of cheers in the audience.

There were very, very many Nuggets fans at the scene, about one-fifth of the arena.

But this scene is not surprising at all.

This is the champion show of the platinum generation, and it is also the first champion in Denver's history!

……

At this time, in the draft hut in Denver, the owner Kroenke was still listening to the people below arguing.

The Nuggets and Mavericks have a striking resemblance to each other, joining the NBA at about the same time, with their best result being the Western Conference Finals, and never winning a Western Conference title, let alone a championship.

The Mavericks selected Sun Hao, and Nowitzki made history with one step a year.

That's their best imitation.

But now their chances are not the same as the Mavericks' originality.

What they have is the champion of the platinum generation!

Who you choose becomes extremely critical.

The people below also have different opinions, some say that they will choose James, and they will focus on the future; Some said that Anthony was chosen, and then signed a free agent to make the playoffs; There are even some people who say that Milicic is more talented than Nowitzki, and Milicic should be chosen.

Good you're big!

Kroenke can be the boss of the big four leagues, and his vision will not be bad.

The Nuggets aren't going to think about anyone other than James and Anthony.

After Stern announced the attribution of the signing, the league's staff arrived at the door and waited for their envelopes.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Kroenke finally made a decision.

Don't change your original intention.

When Stern came to the front of the stage from behind the scenes again, everyone's eyes on the scene looked at him in unison.

The 2003 draft pick is about to be revealed!

Sun Hao also looked at the stage intently.

This year in history, the Nuggets drafted Anthony with the third pick.

But at that time, they were in the third pick, and Anthony was the best choice.

Now that history has changed, the result is ......

"2003 NBA First Round No. 1 Pick, Denver Nuggets Pick ......"

Without further ado, Stern paused.

James and Anthony, even Bosh and Wade, all the players in the little green room looked up at Stern with a longing in their eyes.

This year's champion will definitely go down in history, everyone wants to!

"LeBron James, 2.03m small forward from St. Vincent St. Mary's High School in Akron."

The moment the results were announced, the Denver fans at the scene were once again in a boil.

James!

Kroenke chose James in the end!

Sun Hao also smiled when he heard it.

Both the Nuggets and the Cavaliers were playing for James last season, and despite Anthony's stellar freshman season, they chose James.

Kroenke, don't change your original intention!

And, at this moment, history has changed dramatically!

The Cleveland Knights Jen announced that he was no more, and he would be replaced by the Denver Plateau Nuggets Jen!

James stood up with a smile after hearing Stern's choice, and there was not too much excitement on his face, just a calm smile.

Everyone's personality is different, James is actually very gentle off the court, and basically does not show emotions on his face.

Sun Hao was quite touched by this after contacting him.

However, James's mother on the side was so excited that she was already crying with joy when she hugged James.

She came all the way, and it was really not easy to raise James to that age alone.

James looked very mature, reached out to pat his mother's back, and then hugged his relatives and friends one by one, then turned around to take the Nuggets' hat and calmly walked onto the stage.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried.

James became the champion, and the most disappointing was Anthony.

He had a great tryout in Denver and he thought he had a good chance.

But the Nuggets finally chose James, the so-called chosen one year younger than him!

However, his personality is much more aggressive than James's.

He's going to make the Nuggets regret it!

No matter where he goes, he'll prove the Nuggets wrong tonight!

At this time, Barkley was already looking at the commentary seat.

It turns out that ginger is really old and spicy!

Jordan just chose Yao Ming right.

"Time will tell."

Jordan shrugged.

It's just a choice, and you'll have to play the NBA game to know if it's really going to happen.

Barkley shook his head, Jordan is still the same Michael, he won and wanted the world to know, but he definitely pretended that it didn't happen......

James had already walked to the stage, shook hands with Stern, and turned to pose for a photo.

Although the appearance is not so outstanding, the temperament is absolutely stubborn.

After the group photo, James went to the audience to be interviewed by reporters.

"LeBron, what was the result of being the top pick?"

"Yes, I'm excited, all the hard work I've done in my four years of high school is for where I am today, and I want to thank my mom, my family, my friends, my coaches, my teammates, I couldn't have done this without them."

Following Sun Hao, the alliance ushered in another high school student who graduated with a full score of [emotional intelligence].

"When the experts predicted the draft, they positioned your template as 'Magic' Johnson, is he your idol?"

"Magic is one of the greatest basketball players in my heart, we're all pass-first team players, but my idol is Michael."

James' next answer was a bit of a surprise to the reporter.

"Michael, he's the perfect basketball player, and his basketball philosophy is what I like the most, the easiest way to win the game, that's what every player wants to do."

James had an innocent smile on his face when he said this.

This also shows that what he said is true, because only when it comes to idols will people show their true feelings.

"It's a bit of a shame because Michael just retired from the league and you lost the chance to play him on the court."

If it weren't for Sun Hao's existence, the reporter would have said that James just entered the league to inherit Jordan.

Because the team James wore in high school was No. 23, which is exactly the same number as Jordan.

"No, Michael has already handed his baton to Sun, who is the one I am going to challenge and defeat."

On an occasion at the right time, James officially announced the idea that he had just hidden in his heart.

From then on, James on the 23rd and Sun Hao on the 95th will be one of the most classic duels in the history of the league.

And it's going to spread for a long time.

Of course, those are things that fans will know later.

In the eyes of fans, the 03 generation platinum champion who has just entered the league challenges the FMVP who has just helped the team win the championship, which is a temperament of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

And in the same west, that kind of scene will happen soon.

Just when the fans in front of the TV were attracted by James's interview, Stern once again stepped from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

At the time of James' interview, he had already announced the second-round pick.

What he has in his hand now is the final selection result of the Pistons. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
