118. Draft

As Li Wu's agent, He Dabao began to explain very responsibly: "Little Green House is a special term in the American sports draft, in the NBA draft, the players who receive the official invitation to enter the draft Little Green House are generally voted by the general manager of the NBA team, and finally decided by the league executives according to the selection intention of the teams holding each high position before the draft held by the league. Since the top 14 picks in the draft every year are called the lottery area, at least 14 or more players will be invited, depending on the intention of each draft team that year. So the eldest brother has a special place, and uncles and aunts can sit there. ”

"Oh! It's what it means to be VIP! It seems that there are some privileges everywhere the best people go. Lao Li suddenly realized, and then asked: "Son, how many times do you say you can get in this draft?" You used to take the exam without taking the first place and taking the second place! ”

Li Wu smiled and said, "Dad, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, the first and second most likely won't be me, and your son should be around the fifth." ”

"Oh....... That's it! It's okay, let's catch up in the future, I remember that when you were a child, you won the second place, you will definitely study hard and strive for the first, this time ........." Lao Li seems to have returned to Li Wu's youth, and began to become the nagging teacher Li.

Li Wu placed his parents in a five-star hotel in New York's Manhattan neighborhood, and the two elders had always said that the hotel was too expensive, and if Li Wu's dormitory did not have a place, they could find a cheap place to live.

Obviously, the two elders have not yet changed from the fact that Li Wu has become a multimillionaire, and they still think that Li Wu is in the dormitory and has no money.

In the end, He Dabao told them that Li Wu even had an agent, and he also received tens of millions of advertising endorsements, and now he is a rich man, and he may return to China after a while to donate money to build his alma mater.

The 2015 draft was held at the Barlake Center in Brooklyn, New York City, home stadium for NBA team Brooklyn Nets in New York. It will be held at 7 p.m. sharp.

Wearing a specially bought Armani suit, Li Wu arrived at the Barlake Center at 18 o'clock accompanied by Abby, He Dabao and his parents, as soon as Li Wu appeared, he immediately received the attention of the media, long guns and short guns were aimed at Li Wu, filming him, after walking through a media channel, Li Wu came to the area of the small green house, and found that there were many old acquaintances of his sitting here.

Carl Anthony Downs, Jahill Okafor, Justis Winslow, Devin Booker, Stanley Johnson, Willie Cowley Stein, Frank Kaminsky, Trey Lyles, Sam Decker, Rhoda Hollis Jefferson. 10 of the 18 members of the Little Green House have played against Li Wu in the NCAA, so when Li Wu appeared, these rookies who were also accompanied by relatives and friends all set their eyes on Li Wu.

At this moment, the crazy March with the bayonet is like a world away, and the rookies who went all out at that time have reined in their former edges, and saw their old opponent Li Wudu get up to greet him, some high-five, some symbolically bump their chests and hug, as if they have not seen each other for many years.

The media on the side also found this interesting situation, and they pointed their cameras at the area of the small green house and began to take pictures.

"It seems that Li Wu has subdued these rookies, as soon as he came to the small green house area, those rookies came forward to fight with him, you must know that a few months ago, they were still fighting with a red-faced and thick-necked opponent!" So said a Chinese journalist.

"We can see that Li Wu and his old rivals seem to be happy now, but peace is always short-lived, and when the new season begins, they will be their own masters, and the competition will be more fierce at that time!" Another reporter put it a little more horizontally.

Another Chinese reporter did not focus on this, but said: "NBA goddess Abby Hornacek actually followed Li Wu's parents to the Little Green House area, are they already together?" ”

These Chinese media all broadcast these pictures live on their own platforms through the Internet, and this is the first time that Li Wu has been on the road in public since leaving the joint training camp, which immediately sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens, and in an instant, the barrage of the three online platforms was densely brushed.

"The son of China is back!"

"Look forward to you getting into the top three!"

"No matter what, you're our champion!"

"Li Wu, come on! All the fans in China have your back! ”

Soon, the popularity of the three online platforms that broadcast the NBA draft live skyrocketed, which is enough to show Li Wu's extreme popularity, after all, Chinese fans have waited for such a strong entry into the world's top basketball league for too long.

After Li Wu greeted his old opponents, he found an empty seat and sat down, and next to him sat a tall, yellow-haired, but very thin white man, this white man also had family members around him, and he didn't greet Li Wu just now, because this person had never played against Li Wu, to be exact, he had never played in the NCAA at all.

When the two made eye contact, the white man smiled shyly and said in accented English, "Hello! My name is Kristaps Porzingis and I'm from Latvia. ”

Li Wu also smiled and said, "My name is Li Wu and I am from China. ”、

The two shook hands with each other and sat down together.

At the same time, in a box at the Barlake Center, Zen master Phil Jackson looked through the glass at Li Wu and Porzingis, who were sitting together in the field, and said to Fisher, "Look, I seem to see Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant sitting together." ”

Fisher seemed a little absent-minded, hearing his mentor say this, he only laughed a few times, in fact, he didn't like Li Wu at all, because he watched all the games of Li Wu, and in the last few games, this Chinese almost seized all the rights of the head coach, he was simply directing the game, for Fisher, he did not like this kind of player who challenged the authority of the coach, even if his talent was high.

But on the other hand, he knew that his mentor, the person who was and is able to control his own destiny, had made his own decisions, and at such a time, Lao Yu could not do anything.
