This draft report has just been transmitted to China, and it has instantly detonated the domestic basketball circle, and it has made the people's expectations for Li Yang's draft prospects increase exponentially.

……

As for Li Yang, the mock draft pick has risen to eighth place, after all, James, the star of the Cavaliers, once said that he is very optimistic about Li Yang's talent, and hopes to fight side by side to win the championship, it is estimated that the Cavaliers senior management should follow James's advice.

This latest prediction is considered by many to be the ultimate version and will also be the final result.

However, this year's draft has Li Yang, a Chinese who was born out of nowhere, and Michael Porter, who is the top pick, due to back surgery, the draft market has been declining, and no one can guarantee that there will be no variables.

Seeing that the day of the draft is approaching, Li Yang is not only completing his daily training, but also thinking about a very important issue.

Speaking of which, when he came to the United States without hesitation, among the people around him, in addition to a few friends who knew his true purpose, there was also An Ran, and other people didn't even know what Li Yang was doing in the United States, but they just knew to participate in training camps and improve their skills.

Draft day is just a few days away, so he has to talk to his parents, his friends, and the school about it, especially after becoming a lottery show, and Duffy has already chosen a place for him in the draft, and each lottery show can bring two relatives to the draft together.

After a day of training, Li Yang returned to the hotel to take a shower, lay on the bed, he took out his mobile phone, began to pull out the address book, ready to call one by one.

The first is naturally to call your own parents. As I get older, the communication with my parents becomes less and less, and I usually call when I want to pay for my living expenses, and I often hang up the phone after not saying a few words.

When the call goes out, "Beep! Honk! Honk! It rang for a long time, like a long time, before the other side of the phone was connected. It was the mother who answered the phone, and her voice was a little excited.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Daddy, I have good news for you. ”

"Yang Dad, come here, Xiao Yang wants to tell us a good news!" Li Yang then heard a rush of footsteps from across the microphone.

"It's coming, it's coming soon!!" Li Yang's father rushed out of the room wearing flip-flops.

When the footsteps on the opposite side stopped, Li Yang continued: "Dad~Mom, I'm in the United States now, ready to participate in the NBA draft, I want you to come over and witness this sacred moment with your own eyes...... Li Yang said excitedly.

After hanging up his parents' phone, he made a few more intermittent calls to other friends, and by the time he was done, it was already early in the morning.

Two days later.

Shenzhen Baoan International several games. Li Yang's parents hurriedly boarded a flight to New York with the blessings of family and friends to attend this year's NBA Draft in Brooklyn, New York.

An Ran didn't come with him, because Li Yang's parents still didn't know that he had a girlfriend.

Although An Ran is Li Yang's girlfriend, the two are still high school students, and the current relationship has not yet reached the time when it is made public, the ugly daughter-in-law has not yet met her in-laws, and the girl is thin-skinned and does not have the courage to meet Li Yang's parents.

With the sound of the buzz, the plane took off at great speed and flew to New York, USA, where they will witness the growth and glory of their son......

After 20 hours of travel, Li Yang's parents arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

In addition to Li Yang, there was also Bill Duffy's beautiful assistant Selena, who was still preparing for tomorrow's draft and couldn't leave for a while, so he arranged for Selena to pick up the airport together.

Evening, inside a room at the Hoxton Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Li Yang's parents sat on the sofa, opposite Bill Duffy and Selena, and Li Yang sat leisurely reading a book and cultivating his sentiments.

"Xiao Yang." Li Yan glared at Li Yang, "The draft is going to be held tomorrow, why aren't you in a hurry at all." ”

"The draft is the draft." Li Yang smiled helplessly, "What's the use of you being so nervous, besides, we can't change other people's choices!" ”

To be honest, he is actually very nervous, but no matter how nervous he is, it will make him nervous, so he will simply find something to do and divert his attention.

In the living room, Li Yan wanted to say more, but was persuaded by Selena: "We have done our best what we can do, now let's wait for good news." ”

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

"Tomorrow is the draft, there are a lot of good guys in this year's rookies, and I'm more optimistic about Ayton, he should be able to be the first pick."

"No, I don't think so. I'm more optimistic about Luka Doncic from Slovenia, a European supernova from Real Madrid, who has a well-rounded style of play and a good sense of passing, and is definitely a superstar in the future!! ”

"I don't know! It's hard to say, but it's said that the Cuban in Dallas is very optimistic about 077 and is also a good friend with 077 in private. In my opinion, Dallas could choose to trade up with the Atlanta Hawks, get the pick, and pick 077. What's more, the 077 itself is very good, with unlimited potential, and it is worthy of the Tanhua lottery. ”

"Well, that's quite possible."

A similar scene is being played out in small bars on the streets of the United States. Everyone rolled up their sleeves and drank a little wine, stared at the TV, and talked feverishly about tomorrow's NBA Draft.

In their opinion, this year's champion candidates are confusing, and the top three are likely to win the champions, which is full of suspense.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, in China, Sina Sports, Tencent Sports, Sohu Sports, 3G Sports and other sports forums, there is also a lot of discussion about the draft.

"Tomorrow is the draft, whether Li Yang can enter the top ten, I think it's a bit hanging."

"It's not likely, but it's still very possible to get to the end of the first round."

"Not necessarily! After all, Li Yang is a Chinese, and he is a small guard, China has never produced a good guard in the international arena, considering the physical problem, those teams in the NBA may not necessarily buy it. ”

"Anyway, I think Li Yang will definitely be able to do it, but no matter what the result, I will support him."

Quarrels, support, anticipation, and discouragement,...... All kinds of voices are mixed together, and although they can't affect the final draft results, they represent the voices of the fans.

In this regard, the popular domestic sports website Hupu.com also made its own predictions for the upcoming draft. Based on the tryouts and overall performance of the participating players, Tiger Pounce has updated the final version of the NBA Draft prediction list.

Tiger Pounce also believes that Li Yang will be drafted by the Cavaliers with the eighth pick. This is not unfounded, at least James has made it clear that he appreciates Li Yang, which is very likely.
