The news that Wayne was announcing his participation in the draft on the night of the championship made the headlines of the sports pages of most newspapers in China the next day.

In the past few months, with more Chinese media coverage, Wayne has become a little famous in China.

But this time, when Wayne lifted the regular season MVP trophy, won the Big Twelve League championship and announced that he was going to participate in the NBA draft, his popularity exploded.

This is Yao's second season in the NBA, and it is also the year that the NBA's influence in China is gradually growing.

Due to Yao's huge success, it is only natural that Chinese fans will want more Chinese players to be able to establish themselves in that highest level of basketball.

And at this time, the domestic media and various sports associations are also more open to the NBA than before.

In the past, when a player wanted to play in the NBA, the first reaction of the associations was to stop it.

If you can't stop it, take the opportunity to ask for it.

But now, they are hoping that Chinese players can go to the NBA to develop, because everyone has seen the benefits of letting players play in the NBA bring to the whole of Chinese basketball.

In the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a black 30-second encounter in the final, and finally lost to South Korea 100-102 and lost the gold medal.

Looking at the 2003 Asian Championships, after experiencing the baptism of the NBA, Yao Ming played the South Korean interior line into doubt and helped the Chinese team complete revenge, just know how much influence the NBA has on a player.

Think about it, if Da Yao is missing, the men's basketball team will be killed by South Korea in the Asian Championships this year.

Otherwise, how can Chairman Yao be a pioneer of Chinese basketball? With him paving the way in front, the Chinese players in the back want to go to the NBA, and the road is getting smoother and smoother.

Of course, having said that, as far as Wayne is concerned, even without Chairman Yao, his NBA path will not be limited by the domestic side.

After all, Wayne's father took this into account and pulled him out of the youth team in the first place and sent him to college.

At this time, any Chinese player who announces his participation in the draft will attract attention.

Not only the fans, but even CCTV 5 suddenly became interested in Wayne.

In the previous six months, although Zhang Wei usually applied to go to the scene to interview Wayne, although the news of Wayne's outstanding performance occasionally came in, but it was only NCAA after all.

No matter how good the results are there, it doesn't say anything.

After all, it was only an amateur competition, and only a handful of them were able to make it professional.

But now, Wayne is officially involved with the NBA, which is another matter entirely.

"Draft interview group?" When Zhang Weiping received a notice from the leader to set up a draft interview team to go to the United States, he was still a little surprised.

The importance of Wayne on the domestic side has risen a bit fast.

"That's right, we need to follow Wayne's journey from signing up to entering the draft. After all, he is likely to be the first Chinese player to participate in the draft at the draft. You also know how much attention domestic fans pay to the NBA right now. ”

"Uh......" Zhang Weiping wanted to say that Wayne may not actually be able to enter the draft.

Because those who can enter the "little green house" are all rookies who are predicted to be selected in the lotto area.

Wayne is still a little far from the lotto.

In the latest draft mock draft ranking of the Associated Press, Wayne has made it to the top three in the second round.

His teammate Tony. Aaron, on the other hand, counterattacked all the way to the first round!

Although Wayne's progress is big enough, it has to be said that this pick is still some distance from the lotto.

But after learning that he had the opportunity to go to the scene to see Wayne's performance in March Madness, Director Zhang gladly accepted the job.

"I'll put together a team and bring some news from Wayne in the March Madness tournament."

Zhang Weiping walked out of the office happily, and as the first reporter in China to start reporting on Wayne, he now vaguely felt a little proud.

He's been bullish on Wayne from the start, and now that Wayne has announced his participation in the draft, and his ranking so high in the mock draft, it confirms his vision.

Of course, Zhang Weiping could never have imagined that Wayne's popularity in China would inexplicably make the stick next door orgasm.

I don't know if it's the reason why I was unconvinced by the loss of the Asian Championships, the South Korean media is now very hostile to Chinese basketball.

Not long after Wayne announced that he would participate in the draft, many South Korean media jumped out, claiming: "Ha Seung-jin is the most noteworthy Asian athlete in this year's draft." ”

"He's got professional basketball experience, and he's more mature than Wayne. On top of that, he was only 19 years old. ”

"Haseung Town has a good chance of being drafted in the first round, and Wayne can only be a second-round pick. As we all know, a second-round pick is almost impossible to survive in the NBA, and Ha Jin-sung has a good chance of becoming a star player in the NBA. ”

Is it embarrassing? Speechless? Does the skull hurt?

Don't be surprised, at this time, many Korean media are really embarrassed to blow Ha Seung Town.

After all, the whole world is Korean.

Their players have to be the best players in the world.

When Zhang Weiping learned of these reports from the South Korean media, he was stupid.

This is unreasonable!

In last year's Asian Championships, Ha Sheng Town was blown a wave of hard steel Chairman Yao, and he was taught to be a man.

How long has it been? Just forgot that the scars started blowing again?

Perhaps in the eyes of the Korean media, although Ha Seung Town can't beat Yao Ming at present, sooner or later it will have to be Yao Ming's level.

In that case, how could you lose compared to an obscure student player?

David. Stern may never have dreamed that because of the inexplicable climax of the Korean media, the 2004 draft would become popular in Asia......

South Korea is playing up this "draft war" every day, and experts from all walks of life are analyzing how good the prospects of Haseung Town are every day.

In short, they seem to have made "surpassing Wayne in the draft" the main goal of Ha Seung Town.

It doesn't matter which team you're drafted on, as long as you're higher than Wayne!

Of course, Haseung hasn't said anything about it personally.

I guess he's almost angry now.

This Nima is completely killed, can that group of media be okay and don't always be embarrassed to brag about me, I was already pitted badly enough in the Asian Championships last year.

But the Korean media who are good at talking about it, where do you care about this, the Dragon Boat Festival has to be robbed, Confucius has to be robbed, and the title of the best Asian player must also be grabbed!

The Korean media is full of excitement, but it is basically in a state of self-congratulation.

Because Wayne, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, had no idea that he was actually compared to Hesheng Town.

He didn't even know that Ha Seung Jin was participating in the draft this year.

In his previous life, as a veteran fan, Wayne naturally knew about Ha Seung Town and his "legendary" stories.

But if you ask Wayne what the draft he participated in in '00, he really can't answer.

After all...... Who would be impressed by a water cooler manager?

If it weren't for the encounter with Yao Ming, few people in China would have known that there was such a South Korean who had played in the NBA.

Old Sutton had stumbled upon reports of Wayne and Haseung, but he didn't pay attention to them.

Because judging from the current honors, there is no trace of comparison between the two.

After all the games in the Big 12 League, Wayne was honored with all sorts of accolades.

Let's not talk about the MVP of the regular season, it was announced on the day the tournament ended.

After that, Wayne was also selected to the First Team of the Big Twelve League, the Best Defensive Team, and beat his teammate Mr. Tony to win the Big Twelve League Defensive Player of the Year Award.

In the end, the Associated Press also raised the final ranking of the Cowboys to sixth in the country!

It is really not easy to lead the team to the sixth level in the NCAA in the country.

These awards and honors are extremely valuable for college players.

And what about the South Korean center? Does he take the head and Wayne by? Isn't this just a one-sided touch on porcelain?

In terms of head, Hesheng Town is indeed bigger than Wayne.

This kind of boring report, Old Sutton has always chosen to skip it directly.

Wayne himself really doesn't have the heart to care about the lace news right now.

Ever since he decided to run in the NBA Draft, he felt the pressure on him skyrocket.

Although Wayne is now ranked in the top three in the second round in the mock draft, it does not mean that Wayne is 100% safe.

The draft was a surprise.

Jordan Jr. originally predicted that he would be selected in the lotto area, but he waited in the small green house in the small green house until the second round to hear his name and was embarrassed and thrown to his grandmother's house.

Later, Bennett was originally predicted to be the 13th pick, but inexplicably became the top pick.

The unexpected, in the draft, is the least unexpected.

When the time comes, no one will translate anything special for Wayne to call it a special surprise.

So, in order to ensure safety, and to hit the goal of the first round, the next March Crazy Tournament is very important for Wayne.

Don't look at the tournament there are not many games, but the level is high enough and the attention is big enough.

That's Wayne's last-ditch first-round hope.

Why did Wayne announce his entry to the draft before March Madness? I just want to attract the attention of NBA teams first, and then rush to the top with the crazy March game.

Wayne will have to seize a few games in March Madness to make it to the first round, or God knows if he will have a chance to earn the perverted badge of Man of Steel.

So before the start of the March Madness Tournament, Wayne also digested all the growth points he had saved in the past few months and the remaining 10 bonus points to improve his strength.

He started by increasing his low-post defense to 55, which is average for the NCAA.

The main reason is that there are too many powerful opponents in Crazy March, and if Wayne is unlucky and is caught by a low-level god, he will definitely fall instead of rising.

For example, Emeka who commented on Wayne a long time ago. Okafor!

As a quasi-champion with extremely skilled offensive skills in the low post, Wayne can't defend him with blocks alone.

While the chances of the Cowboys and Connecticut meeting are slim to none, who can say what happened to March Madness?

If he was really abused, the tragedy of P.J. Tucker would have been repeated in Wayne.

So adding a little bit of low-post defense is an insurance.

And in the end, there were 3 extra points left, and Wayne gave all three points!

Wayne's three-point ability is also close to 75 this time, and with the effect of the shooting package, his offense should be more assured.

Combined with the ball control and fitness that has improved over the years, Wayne doesn't think he should have much of a problem coping with March Madness.

After this point increase, it means that Wayne will have to wait a long time before he has the opportunity to add attributes again.

Until then, he can focus on the game without distractions!

Everything is ready, now, just wait for the March Madness matchup schedule to be released.
