The days of running around the United States always go by quickly, and when Bill. When Duffy returned to Indianapolis with Yiyang, the time had already come to June 18. At this time, the 2010 NBA draft was only a week away.

Stevens asked about Duffy's draft with great concern, but Duffy could only shake his head vigorously under Stevens' inquiry.

"Yi's draft pick won't fall off expectations, but as for which team will be drafted, I really can't say." Duffy spread his hands, and the draft was very passive for the players. Because rookie players don't have a choice, even Duffy, an experienced manager, can't change that fact.

When Stevens heard Duffy say this, he was relieved. Hayward's kid has been predicted to be picked by the Jazz with the ninth pick, and if nothing else, Yiyang will not fall out of the top 15! As long as it doesn't fall short of expectations, Stevens isn't worried.

"Brad." Just as Stevens was thinking, Yiyang suddenly called him,

"Huh?" Stevens knew that Yiyang rarely took the initiative to speak to others, and there must be something wrong with him doing this.

"On the day of the draft...... Are you coming? Yiyang, this brave young man, after saying this, he looked away in embarrassment, not daring to look at Stevens.

"Hahahaha, of course I'll go! I will be by your side to witness you become a real pro! Stevens thought something was wrong with Yiyang, but it turned out to be ...... This unruly Asian defender just thinks of himself as a true friend. He longs for the big day of his life that Stevens won't be absent.

Everything is ready, and now, all they can do is wait for the day of the draft to come. Then, see where God will let this kid from Wood go to.

On June 25, 2010, fans were still immersed in the excitement of another yellow-green battle, and the Angelenos were even more drowning in a sea of happiness. Kobe Bryant and Gasol brought them their second championship in a row, and the Purple and Gold dynasty looks set to stand in the world again after years of immersion.

The NBA Finals is about the life and death of the two best teams. But today, there is one thing that will be more eye-catching than the finals that have just ended! After all, the annual NBA Draft is directly related to the future of all teams!

"Oh my God! This is bigger than the March Madness Grand Final! As soon as Hayward got out of the car, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he saw Madison Square Garden, which was surrounded by a crowd of black people.

Yiyang looked at the scene in front of him, and he also felt very shocked. But instead of expressing his emotions on his face, the guy clenched his fists instead. Because he knew that when he came out of Madison Square Garden, his world would be turned upside down!

Off the court, reporters are analyzing the ideas of each team for this draft. This gambling-like draft may be much more exciting than a serious basketball game!

There's a good chance you'll inadvertently pick the next Jordan today, and of course, it's not out of the question that there's a second Kwame. Brown. No one knows what this exciting gamble will ultimately bring to the team, not even the team executives who are about to make a decision.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go! "Bill. Duffy led his group to the draft site, and the door of professional basketball is about to be knocked open!

Mougins was crammed into a small media area, and today, in addition to him, many domestic media outlets are attracted to him. CCTV5 even did a live broadcast of the entire draft conference!

It seems that Yiyang's draft is also affecting the hearts of tens of thousands of fans in another land at this moment. In the stands, more and more fans have entered, and it is not difficult for Mougins to find that there are many yellow-skinned guys among them.

These overseas college students are all here for Yiyang, and they want to witness the journey of another yellow-skinned guy on the NBA stage after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

In China, the ratings of the draft conference also hit a record high. There have been many examples of big men entering the NBA, but this is the first time that a Chinese guard who has been invited to a small black room has happened.

After Mougins looked around, he became more and more excited about the draft that would start in a few minutes. At this time, the appearance of a group attracted Mougins. He looked fixedly, and sure enough, it was Yiyang and his gang!

Yiyang, Hayward, and his parents, Wen Xue, Stevens, and Bill. Duffy and the others found their designated seats and sat down. Suddenly, there was a flash of light all around.

Bill. Duffy has a mobile phone in his hand, and he will answer the phone whenever it moves. The seasoned manager looked up at the luxury box in Madison Square Garden, where the managers of the teams were already in a state of flux. Any call now has the potential to change the trajectory of Yiyang's career.

After a while, the lights of the whole room dimmed. Bill. Duffy adjusted his sitting posture, and then nodded confidently at Cong Yiyang, as if to speak. "No problem, everything is ready!"

NBA Conference Commissioner David Brown. Stern was the first to take the stage as usual, and what he said on stage, Yiyang didn't listen to a word. This guy who came all the way from Wood District actually felt a little nervous!

A very official speech made David. Stern won the applause of the audience, but at this moment, everyone's attention was actually on the envelope in the old man's hand. Yiyang took a big breath, he knew that his own draft meeting had officially begun!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Washington Wizards picked the ...... with the No. 1 pick in the 2010 NBA Draft," Stern lengthened his voice and glanced at the envelope in his hand. His move made all the people present tense their nerves.

At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen. Yiyang pricked up his ears and waited for the lucky winner's name to be taken by David. Stern read it out.

"John. Wall! From the University of Kentucky! Congratulations! After Stern finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Wall, the talented guard who is about the same as Yiyang in terms of height, weight and speed, has become this year's champion. This result can be said to be expected. After all, when Wall had just graduated from high school, people were already saying that he would be the top candidate.

"Damn!" Everyone else was happy for Wall, but Bill. Duffy frowned. Soon, the Philadelphia 76ers, who are the second pick, will have to make a choice. But Stefansky, so far, there has been no reply! Could it be that this guy wants to choose Evan. Turner?

A restless Duffy glanced at Turner's location, and the player's family was very happy. I don't know if I'm happy for Wall, or happy for myself?

"The second pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose ......" When Sternton was at that moment, even the experienced Duffy felt like his heart was about to jump out.

If Yiyang can't be selected by the 76ers, then it is very likely to fall out of the top three. While falling out of the top three isn't an unacceptable outcome, who wouldn't want their clients to get a higher ranking?

Bill. Duffy feels more nervous than Yiyang now, is it Turner or Yiyang? What choice will the 76ers make?

"Evan. Turner! From The Ohio State University! ”

As soon as Stern finished speaking, Turner put on his 76ers baseball cap and stood up sharply. Looks like that guy has already gotten the letter. In the stands, 76ers fans waved signs welcoming Turner. They believe that Turner is no worse than the champion Wall. There seems to be hope for the revival of the 76ers.

"What a fucking damn one!" Bill. When Duffy heard the result, he couldn't help but curse.

But soon Duffy smiled at Yiyang as a sign of comfort. But Yiyang just shrugged his shoulders and looked like he didn't care. Anyway, Yiyang doesn't like the 76ers too much, these are only two picks, and he has more opportunities. Hayward, who had performed well, was still sitting next to him, in such a hurry.

Third in line, Bill. Neither Duffy nor Yiyang paid much attention. New Jersey is a small place for Duffy. And according to Duffy, the Nets owner seems to be trying to figure out how to shoot the team to a Russian tycoon. With such a volatile team, Duffy certainly wouldn't risk sending Yiyang there.

Therefore, during the trial, Duffy and Yiyang had never been to New Jersey at all. Therefore, they will not have hope for this draft pick either.

Meanwhile, in the luxury box at Madison Square Garden, New Jersey Nets general manager Billy Brown, who has the third overall pick. Kim hung up a phone call.

This time in the draft, although the Nets have a decent third pick. But their long-awaited Turner was intercepted by the 76ers halfway.

The Nets already have Brooke on their roster. Lopez and Delon. Williams is two All-Star level guys, and the general manager of the Nets is eager to get an instant fight, so that as long as there are no more injuries to plague them, the Nets can rise quickly. Raising rookies is such a thing, and Billy, who is bent on becoming a quick champion. An option that Kim never considered.

Now, Turner has been "snatched" by the 76ers, who are one step ahead, and the Nets have actually lost their goal. Their backup plan was originally to pick an all-around four, Derek. Favors, but that phone call just now made Billy. Kim changed his mind.

Back in the draft, Stern took the stage again with an envelope. Bill. Both Duffy and Yiyang were a little absent-minded because the Nets had nothing to do with them, and there was little contact between them.

"Third overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, New Jersey Nets chose ......"

Duffy yawned, and he really wanted the draft to go faster. Because just now, the Spurs have sent a message saying that as long as the Warriors select Yiyang with the sixth pick, they will trade immediately! Duffy now just wants to fast-forward to the sixth pick in the draft.

"Yiyang, from China, Butler University!" However, as soon as Stern's words came out, the audience was stunned.

"What? The Nets selected Yi? with a third-overall pick. "Throughout Madison Square Garden, everyone's brain circuits were a little bit out of power.

The others were stunned because they didn't expect Yiyang's rank to be so high. For a long time, Yiyang's prediction ranking has not been in the top three. And this guy was actually chosen before Hayward, who was at the same table! Yiyang and them never thought that the Nets would choose themselves!

Duffy looked at Stern in the stands in disbelief, and then at Yiyang, who was also stunned.

The on-site staff walked up to the stunned table and handed over a Nets hat.

"Congratulations, lad."

Yiyang didn't stand up as excitedly as the other rookies and hugged his partners who came together. He sat in his chair blankly, directly wondering if it was David. Stern took the wrong envelope.

The staff who came to hand over the hat was also a little embarrassed, and he reminded Yiyang again. "Hey, congratulations, you've been drafted by the Nets, you're a tanhuaxiu!"

"Huh? Oh. Yiyang slowly stood up and put on the Nets' baseball cap. Then, the program hugged his mother, Hayward, Stevens, and Duffy. Yiyang didn't expect that the moment he was selected, his emotions were not excited, but surprised, the kind of surprise that made people overwhelmed.

It wasn't until Yiyang walked up to the stage and hugged Stern that a text message came from Duffy's phone.

Oddly enough, the text message wasn't from Nets management, but from a guy who's just been meeting for a while.

"Welcome to the Mavericks." On Duffy's mobile phone screen, there was only such a simple text.
