On April 25, 2013, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced that Barclays Center, the home of the Nets, became the venue for the 2013 NBA Draft. NBA fans will be able to purchase tickets for the draft from 10 a.m. local time on May 22, 2013. Tickets cost between $20 and $35 and can be purchased through the website and booking hotlines. This is the first draft in NBA history that is open to the public.

June 27, 2013, this is a passionate night, for these young people who have worked hard for more than ten years, can finally sweat on the stage of their dreams, today is the time to verify their efforts ahead.

As night fell, Barclays Center staff were chatting about the team's draft picks this year as they prepared for work, TV crews lined up outside the arena to bite the last bite of a burger, Suns fans who had traveled thousands of miles from Phoenix to Brooklyn put up signs at the Barclays Center Arena, and some even wore their own Suns jerseys with Marcie Lee's name on them.

There have been discussions in advance about how Jack Lee will lead the rebuilt Phoenix Suns back to the playoffs in a few years. In other words, this is the first time that the Suns have won the championship since the establishment of the team in 1968, so many Suns fans are excited, plus this draft is the first draft open to the public in the history of the NBA, more than 30 dollars is not expensive for the American people, and they can afford to buy, so the Suns fans have responded to the call on the Internet to witness the birth of the first champion in the Suns' history.

As the prospective champion after the joint tryout in Chicago, Li Mojie was naturally among the invitees of the Little Green House, so he arrived early at the Barclays Center, the Nets' new arena in Brooklyn, New York, which is the world's first arena to cost more than $1 billion to build. At this time, it was already crowded, not only the fourteen people on the list of the little green house invited by the NBA, but also so many reporters from major media, ESPN, FOX Sports, Sports Illustrated, CBS Sports, the four major media will naturally not be absent, and at the same time, Li Mojie also said hello to the reporters and friends of Penguin and CCTV.

"Hey! Kora. Lu Yinjing's English name is Cola Since the last time she met Li Mojie at the Chicago joint training camp, the two have added Facebook accounts and become acquainted.

"Hi Mojay, are you nervous?" Kola looked at Li Mojie, who was wearing a custom-made suit of eight wolves and had a heroic and straight posture, even blushing, but she didn't forget her duty as a reporter, and immediately handed over the microphone.

"Hey, didn't I tell you everything, what's there to be nervous about." To be reasonable, from his previous life to now, Li Mojie rarely wears a suit, but today he had to wear it at the draft.

"Mo Jie, your suit isn't cheap, is it?" Cora asked, pointing to the fitted suit on Jeffrey Lee.

"Customized version, all handmade, new domestic endorsements, this digit a year." Li Mojie faintly made a gesture of 7.

"Dollars?" Kora asked in surprise as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Of course!" Li Mojie smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Mo Jie, your teacher is here, come here." Suddenly, Mary Lee's voice came from the right.

"Okay, then I'll go over first, bye." Li Mojie waved his hand.

Originally, Li Mojie was going to the high school to invite Scott Sr. to come with him a day in advance, but the old coach was still busy in the St. Gabriel High School basketball team, so he could only let Li Mojie go first, and now it is finally here.

"Coach, you're here." Li Mojie went up and gave a hug.

"Haha, such a big scene, why wouldn't I come?" Coach Scott was relieved.

Half an hour later, most of the Suns fans had already entered early, and a large ceiling screen above the court broadcast the progress of the 2013 draft in real time. Whenever Li Mojie, who was sitting in the small green room, appeared on the big screen, the Suns fans on the scene would collectively burst into a burst of warm applause, obviously everyone had regarded Li Mojie as their own person, and even the leader of the team.

This time, Li Mojie invited many people to the scene, Li Yayi, Zhou Meiqi, Li family couple, high school and college coaches, etc., more than half of the gang was greeting everyone, and the staff informed Li Mojie that he was going to the small green house, and the draft meeting started immediately.

Li Mojie let go of Yayi's hand, stood up, turned around and smiled, and waved to everyone: "Then I'll go down first." ”

The last time he held a draft convention, David . As soon as Stern came to power, everyone first booed him, but for Stern, who has been fighting all his life, there is nothing in this world that can cause big fluctuations in his emotions. He continued to smile until the crowd turned boos into applause.

Then the Suns barely hesitated, and Stern was given a selection decision by the Suns before he even walked back to the backstage. Stern calmly walked back to the podium and read aloud: "In the 2013 NBA Draft, the Suns chose 6'8" small forward Major-Lee from the University of Southern California with the first pick, let's congratulate him!" ”

There is no suspense, the champion of the 2013 draft is Li Mojie! A quarter of the Suns fans on the court erupted in cheers along with the Lee table.

The audience on the other side of the Pacific Ocean and the United States who were watching the live broadcast also cheered, after so many years, there was finally another yellow champion, it was not easy, although Jeremy Millin played a crazy performance last year, but then he fell into a state of injury reimbursement, and this season in the Rockets is no longer brave, and the performance is worrying. At this time, the emergence of a promising Chinese champion is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Chinese who love basketball.

Although I had expected it, it was still exciting to be selected as the champion, and my years of hard work have finally paid off today. Li Mojie stood up and hugged several elders excitedly, and kissed Li Yayi heavily.

"Nasty." Li Yayi saw so many cameras facing them, and lowered her head shyly.

Then, when Li Mojie excitedly walked onto the stage in three steps and two steps, the audience was surprised to find that "Champion Lang" had already put on a baseball cap that had been prepared in advance and was printed with the new Suns logo.

Lee Mojie in and David. After shaking hands and thanking him, Stern said excitedly: "This is the first champion pick in the 45-year history of the Suns, but they did not hesitate to choose me with him, which is both a responsibility and a mission, the first champion of the Suns has been signed, will the first championship be far away?" From the court, the excited shouts of Suns fans came out: "That's right, that's it!" "That's right!"

The reporters in the audience were also excited, and the camera flash in their hands kept flashing. Champion Xiu proudly said to win the championship, what good news! You have to write it down and publish it later.

He then thanked his teammates and coaching staff at San Gabriel High School and USC, "I'm a freshman, and I'm making the decision to participate in the draft right now, and to be honest, I'm hesitant because I didn't win the NCAA championship with my teammates. This has to be said to be a regret of mine. But now that this decision has been made, then I will keep in mind the days when they will fight with me, and I will continue our basketball journey in the NBA as a league. So I would like to thank Coach Scott, Coach Neal and the Smith coaching staff for nurturing me, you have trained an NBA champion, and I promise that your excellent disciples will not disgrace us in high school and college in the NBA! ”

Then the draft continued.

"In the 2013 NBA Draft, the second pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers was Bennett, a 6-foot-8" small forward from the Atlantic League, let's congratulate him!" Then the second-round pick Cavaliers rightfully chose Bennett.

The Magic picked Oladipo with the third pick.

The Bucks are still the 15th pick to pick up the monster alphabet brother from Greece.

Then the 27th pick in the first round changed differently: "In the 2013 NBA Draft, the Nuggets selected the 27th pick of the 7-foot-1" center Rudy Gobert from France. Oh, wait for the deal to happen. ”

In the history of this draft, the Suns chose an interior bear Alex Ryan with the fifth pick because of their poor interior strength. But now the butterfly effect has changed, and Li Mojie was selected after drawing the champion lot. What hasn't changed is that the inner line is still very weak, so when general manager Ryan McDonagh asked Li Mojie if he had any good suggestions, he just asked casually to express his respect for the future star, but he didn't expect Li Mojie to really say a name. And Ryan McDonagh sent scouts to observe, and found that although the Frenchman was a complete rough brother, he had excellent height and arm span, good athleticism, and was only in the pick at the end of the round, and the price was not big, so such a deal happened.

The Suns easily traded a first-round pick with the 30th pick + a trade cash for the No. 27 rookie in this draft year.

……

The ESPN Sports reporter is seeing that the rookies are all famous. On the laptop, it was written: Lee Mojie is the next Scott Pippen, Bennett is the next Jason Mark Hill, and Oladipo is the next Tony Allen......

Every year, 60 rookies break into the NBA, and people like to compare them to Hall of Fame superstars and find a template for them. That's the NBA's legacy, and some of them may be able to create their own legends in the future, just like the template they've been given. Become a template for latecomers. They may quietly disappear into this alliance, to Europe or China, until one day they disappear.
