At this time, at home far away in China, Xue's father and Xue's mother were also watching the live broadcast of the NBA draft in front of the TV with their neighbors.

saw Xue Ding's appearance.

The neighbor's Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Ding is really getting more and more handsome, I have a relative girl, who studies art, and she looks beautiful, Lao Xue, change Ming'er to introduce Xiao Ding?"

Aunt Zhou looked at Dad Xue and said.

"Well, that's a good dare, Xiaoding is still single, I'm worried that he can't find his daughter-in-law, where is the girl?" Mother Xue interjected directly.

"Xinjiang, I heard that I am still filming recently."

"Well, the girls who are filming are all beautiful, and Xiaoding is so handsome, the girls must like it." Although Xue Ma thinks that Xue Ding is average, outsiders must praise him for being handsome.

Dad Xue only cares about watching TV, he ignores these girls... I think about this every day.

On TV, the draft is about to begin.

Xue Ding didn't have a chance to enter the little green house, he was arranged in the hall of the banquet.

CCTV5 camera lenses swept over the luxurious boxes in Madison Square Garden.

Dad Xue, who is also a fan, knows that the managers of the various teams here are now anxious.

Now any call or note in it may change the trajectory of Xue Ding's life.

Dad Xue never thought that his son would really arrive at the NBA draft one day, and at this moment, he was as nervous as Xue Ding.

Not for a while.

The lights on the TV screen dimmed.

NBA Conference Commissioner David Brown. Stern was the first to take the stage, and Xue Ding looked curiously at this old man who took the NBA to the world, his eyes full of admiration.

The NBA that has lived through the Shaw era.

will be nostalgic for Stern's time.

Xue Ding has always believed that the status of football in the United States is much higher than basketball.

Let the stars of rugby form a team to participate in the Olympics, and the sensational performance is more than Yumeone?

Except in the United States, there are really not many places to play rugby, so I just have fun.

In the world, football is the number one sport and basketball is the second sport, indisputable!!

Xue Ding thinks back to the dream team that grew up from childhood to adulthood in his previous life, the Flyer, the Bull Dynasty, the OK combination, Yao Mai, the yellow-green war, and the top 50 superstars who made countless people fight in the Internet era, this is all youth.

Only when people lose it, do they know how to cherish it, and when Xiao Hua takes the position and turns the NBA into a miasma, fans know how awesome Stern used to be.

The NBA league and many fans should say "thank you!" to Stern. Without him, many classics will not be able to appear, at least in the NBA after Xiao Hua took office, people can't remember a few classic games.

More comparisons, only to know the precious!!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you don't want to see me, but I'm going to say a few words........."

Stern won applause after a rambling Rory's speech.

After a while, the draft finally reached a climax to the rhythm of the DJ!!

Stern took the first envelope from the staff, opened it, and pulled out a piece of paper.

Xue Ding stared at the old man tightly, although he knew that it was impossible for his name to appear on the first one, he was still very nervous!!

Stern's movements were unhurried.

The fans who watched the draft live were so disgusted that they rushed to the stage and snatched the note from Stern's hand to read it themselves.

Can't this person move faster? Can you not sell it like this later?

Stern signaled calm, he smiled, and then said: "2009 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round of the Los Angeles Clippers......" Stern deliberately paused, smiled: "Chose Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma!!! ”

There was no accident, but when he heard that it was still stupid, Xue Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

Amid the applause of the audience, the silly Fen in a suit stood up, put on her hat, hugged her family first, and then waved to the people around her, and slowly walked to the center stage. He seemed to take everything for granted, and his expression was quite calm....

Silly Fen happily shook hands with Stern on the stage, Xue Ding knew that this would represent the Clippers in the 2009 NBA Summer League and win the MVP of the Summer League. However, the day before the start of the season, he will be out for a year due to a stress fracture of the kneecap in his left knee, and next year is when he returns, and this year's NBA is not for him.

Silly Fen after shaking Stern's hand.

"Click" for a while.

Stern continued his work.

"The 2009 NBA Draft was the second pick in the first round, and the Memphis Grizzlies selected the University of Connecticut Hashem Thabit ......"

.....

"The third pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Ohlahoma Thunder selected Arizona State University James Harden ......"

......

......

"The seventh pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors selected Stephen Curry of Davidson College......"

.....

There weren't many surprises.

Everything was going according to Xue Ding's memory.

Over time.

One by one, the geniuses of the little green house walked out, and some of them were smiling happily, such as Harden.

Some people laughed very reluctantly, such as Curry, Curry didn't want to go to the Warriors at all, he wanted to go to the Knicks, but helplessly, the Knicks were cut off by the Warriors with a high order.

As Stern's speech quickened, Xue Ding became more and more nervous, because he knew that he was getting closer and closer to his position.

Will it be the Lakers who will pick their own?

Or a rocket?

Timberwolves?

Spur?

Xue Ding roughly knew that these teams were interested in themselves and wanted to choose themselves during the trial.

But there are not many guarantees for the draft thing!

Even if you are selected, you may be traded, and the draft promise means that you are a spare tire...

Xue Ding expects this damn first-round draft to end soon, and the time here is really tormenting.

......

"The 22nd pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Xue Ding from the University of Washington!!"

Xue Ding was still predicting which position he would be selected in the second round, Xue Ding heard Stern's voice,

With a bang, Xue Ding's thoughts were all confused.

"First round?"

"22nd pick?"

"Pioneers?"

A team that was completely unexpected by Xue Ding stepped in!

History changes.

As soon as Stern's voice came out, many luxury boxes went into chaos.

Popovich and Buford also looked at each other helplessly and smiled, and failed to pick up the leak...

Chinese fans who watched the draft on TV and online were excited.

22nd pick in the first round.

Although it's not as good as Yao Ming and the United Arab Emirates, it's not bad!!

Yao Ming was injured in the playoffs against the Lakers and is now undecided.

The situation of the UAE in the Nets is not good, and Sun Yue's future with the Lakers is uncertain.

In such a situation, Xue Ding, the 22nd pick, has made Chinese fans look forward to next season's NBA.

"Xue! Let's go up! ”

Tom excitedly poked Xue Ding, who was a little stunned.

Xue Ding's excited heart instantly became steady.

I was the 22nd pick in the first round!!

Xue Ding stood up, took the hat of the Trail Blazers team logo given by the staff, put it on, and then walked confidently to the main stage.

"Xue, I hope you are better than Yao!"

While shaking hands with David Stern, Xue Ding heard Stern's expectations.

......

When Xue's father and mother saw Xue Ding on stage at home, he said that the people he was most grateful to were his parents.

Father Xue and Mother Xue's eyes were moist.

Dad Xue remembered the memories of Xue Ding's practice when he was a child, rain or shine.

"Child, in fact, what you should be most grateful for is your hard work! Thank you for loving basketball day after day, year after year! ”

......

After stepping down.

Tom appeared beside Xue Ding with a smile on his face.

"Xue, let's go, let's enjoy the spotlight of the world."
