Chapter 201: The president also has to line up
Hoggist was still high-fiveing his friends in celebration, and the staff had come down to give him a Lakers hat and urge him to go on stage, but Hoggist whispered a few words to the staff, and the staff went back to the stairs to the stage and waited.
Qiu Jingli and Xiao Hua both looked at this staff member suspiciously, wondering why he was easily dismissed by Haojist.
At this time, Hoggist conjured a bouquet of roses from Lang Dai, quietly walked behind Qiu Jingli and knelt down on one knee, took out a ring and asked affectionately, "Dear Li'er, are you willing to marry me?" β
"What?" Qiu Jingli was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears, she was afraid that she was having auditory hallucinations, and she also didn't dare to turn around, afraid that what she saw was not the scene she imagined.
"Li'er, will you marry me?" Hogist repeated.
Qiu Jingli heard it clearly this time, Haugist was proposing, she hurriedly turned around, and saw Haugist kneeling on one knee holding flowers and diamond rings, oh my God, where did he make such a big bouquet of flowers? Why are the cameras around us pointed at us, this is a global simultaneous live broadcast! Proposing to me in front of millions of viewers around the world is too romantic, isn't it?
The grievances in Qiu Jingli's heart disappeared in an instant, before Haogist had said that he would propose on draft night, although he didn't mention it later, and he didn't see that he was plotting and preparing, but Qiu Jingli has always had some expectations in his heart.
And when Hoggist got carried away with excitement after being selected, and left herself to run to celebrate with her friends, Qiu Jingli was desperate in her heart, she regretted why she had such expectations, but she wanted to find some reason or excuse for Hoggist to convince herself not to mind.
But Hoggist even rushed back to the staff who urged him to go on stage and continued to celebrate with his friends, which made Qiu Jingli really unacceptable.
However, when Hoggist magically conjured a bouquet and a diamond ring and appeared behind Qiu Jingli, how could she not understand that all the abnormal behaviors before were deliberately done by Hoggist, and the purpose was to make this perfect surprise!
At this moment, Qiu Jingli felt that she had been surrounded in the ocean of happiness, wave after wave made her almost suffocated, in the eyes of everyone's blessings, Qiu Jingli could no longer suppress her tears, which were tears of happiness. She wanted to say "yes I do!" out loud to Hogist. But she found that she was choked up so that she could not make a sound smoothly, so she could only take the bouquet and nod her head incessantly, and only after a while did she say with difficulty, "I do!" with difficulty! β
The No. 14 ring suitable for Qiu Jingli is as small as a can ring in the big hand of Haugist, who is used to holding basketball. Carefully, but still looking clumsy, he put the diamond ring on the middle finger of Qiu Jingli's left hand, and then let out a sigh, "I've always been afraid that I would make you sad by pretending to ignore you, so I was so nervous before I was chosen!" β
"You really hate to die! Did you know that I was desperate for life for a moment? You can change my little heart between shock and surprise like this, and my little heart will not be able to stand it! Qiu Jingli pounded Haugist's chest and said.
"I've always said I'm going to propose on draft night, and I've mobilized all my good friends to plan this proposal! There's a surprise to come! Hougist said proudly.
"Really? What else have you prepared? Qiu Jingli was also looking forward to it, but she hesitantly looked at Xiao Hua, who was waiting awkwardly alone on the lookout, "Don't let the president wait too long, this will make him lose face, be careful that he instructs the referee to target you in the future game!" β
"Regardless of him, this is the most important event in my life, and the president has to wait in line for me! Anyway, I've given you this flower and a ring for you to wear, so isn't it time for us to do the last thing? Haugist asked.
"The last item?" Qiu Jingli asked suspiciously.
"It's ......" said Hoggist unexpectedly hugged Qiu Jingli and kissed her affectionately. Seeing this scene, the members of the Little Green House collectively erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause, and Hoggist's friends took out a basket of flower petals and a few salute cannons from under the table, Okafor and Turner scattered petals on top of their heads, while Vaughn, Hollis Jefferson, Booker and others set off the salute cannons, and the flying flowers and petals pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
After a while, Hao Gist reluctantly let go of Qiu Jingli, "How about it, is this global live marriage proposal ceremony a romantic mess?" Now that NBA fans around the world know that you are willing to marry me, it is time for me to go on stage to take a photo with President Xiao Hua, who has been waiting in line for so long! β
"Well, let's go! Remember to apologize to him, it never hurts! Kissing her lover under the lens of the global live broadcast, Qiu Jingli's little face was flushed with shame, and she instructed in a voice thinner than a mosquito.
Hoggist took the hat embroidered with the Lakers logo from the staff, put it on his head, walked up to the stage, took the initiative to bend down and stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Hua's hand, and apologized in his ear, "I'm very sorry Mr. Xiao Hua, because my wanton behavior has delayed so much valuable time for you and everyone." β
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hua smiled disapprehantly, "It's okay, after all, life is more important than work." Your proposal is well planned, and I think your fiancΓ©e must be the happiest person in the audience right now! On top of that, my assistant told me that today we had a record high in the ratings of the draft, and that the topic of your draft proposal was in the top three of the hot search charts on all major social media sites, and it seems that you have inadvertently created a marketing myth and hope that you will be able to contribute to the promotion of the NBA to Asia in the future. β
Instead of blaming Xiao Hua's words, Hougist seemed to imply encouragement, and couldn't help but sigh that these businessmen are really shrewd and self-contained, and in business, as long as they are profitable, they don't mind the problem of face at all. However, such a happy ending is naturally the best, so Hoggist also replied with a smile on his face, "I must be, I also hope that more people in China and even the whole of Asia can love basketball and love the NBA, and I am willing to spare no effort to participate in the NBA borderless activities!" β
"Okay, good, I'm optimistic about you! Come on, I hope you can become the pride of the alliance soon! Xiao Hua said politely.
Hougist was not polite to Xiao Hua, "I am confident that day will come soon, such as in June next year, we may change places to shake hands, and you will give me more than just a hat!" β
βοΌ β¦β¦ Do you want to win a championship and FMVP in your rookie season like Magic? You don't have a teammate like Skyhook! And it's as strong as LeBron can't do it! Xiao Hua stared at Hougist in surprise, and he realized that he really underestimated the rookie's ambitions.
"But I have Kobe. An epic teammate like Bryant! Dreams always have to come true, what if they come true? Hoggist smiled faintly.
After shaking hands with Xiao Hua and taking a group photo, Hoggist came to the interview area, and at this time, the draft that had been stalled for a long time continued. The second-overall Timberwolves didn't hesitate for long to give an answer, and they chose Karl Anthony. Towns.
Hougist was being interviewed, and when he heard that the second pick was Downs' name, he was obviously stunned, in his opinion, Downs's performance in the NCAA Championship was not enough to send him to such a high pick, especially to surpass Okafor and Turner, could it be that he opened his mind after being defeated by me, quickly improved his strength, and improved his strength above Okafor and Turner in just one month? But shouldn't that be? Okafor and Turner were trained by me, so how could they not be as fast as Downs? Could it be that Downs is really gifted and has a high level of understanding, and is a one-of-a-kind playing wizard?
The reporter saw the rich expression changes on Hougist's face, and guessed that he was also surprised that Downs could become the leader, thinking that he had a close relationship with the other two super strong interior Okafor and Turner, and they were the same agent, and suddenly felt that there must be an insider to dig up, so he temporarily threw out a question, "Are you surprised that Downs can be selected with the second pick?" In your opinion, who is better in this rookie class, Downs, Okafor or Turner? β
Although Hoggist was a little distracted, he was not stupid, and he could naturally hear the intention of provoking, so he said perfunctorily with a kind face: "In my opinion, the strength of the three of them is equal, they are all strong interior players, and even if any of them can replace me as the champion, I will not be surprised!" β
When the reporter heard it, Hoggist's words were too unnutritious, right? Everyone knows that the three of them are tied together and combined into a single person is unlikely to shake the status of Hoogist's No. 1 show, which is obviously dealing with us! This little ghost is only 20 years old, but he has a lot of experience, and he doesn't leak a drop of water, but I can't make up any explosive news with such an answer! However, this also bothered these experienced reporters, so he asked: "You are so humble, I believe that they will not be able to shake your top spot." But you belong to the same agency as Turner and Okafor, is it because the agency is short of manpower and funds, so the focus is on your trump card, and Turner and Okafor's tryouts are not arranged well enough, which leads to their draft picks not meeting your expectations? β
This question is indeed tricky, Haugist wanted to push these stupid questions to Joseph, but he felt that this was really a bit of a pit for his brother, and after thinking about the wording, he still replied by himself: "This question is a good question, and it directly asked me, so I want to take the liberty of asking, do you think that none of the three of them can shake my champion status, or do you think that if the brokerage company does not focus on me, my champion status will not be guaranteed?" β
"Uh......" reporter didn't expect Hogist to easily find flaws in his polite words and questions, and directly bypass his own problems to counterattack, such a quick thinking, not playing basketball to be a reporter is definitely the top type! I heard that he has also made outstanding achievements in his major courses in college, and sure enough, no matter what he is engaged in, he can easily achieve the elite level!
Seeing that the reporter was speechless for a while, and the interview time had reached the minimum standard required by the league, Hougist quickly shook the reporter's hand and said: "I believe that our agent will definitely do his best to let every signed player try to get their ideal pick, as for my expectations, I think it is more important to go to the team that has always been suitable for me than to have a high pick!" Thank you for the interview and have a great day! Good bye. β
After saying that, Hoggist left the interview area and returned to his desk, sat down and shook Qiu Jingli's hand, and then asked Joseph, "Why isn't the second one Jahir or Turner?" β
Before Joseph could answer, Xiao Hua walked to the front desk again and announced that the 76ers, who were the third pick, had chosen Jashir. Okafor. Haugis nodded, "Jahir's order is reasonable!" β
Okafor came over to high-five the crowd in celebration, then happily took his hat and walked onto the stage. Hougist continued the conversation with Joseph, "What about Miles?" You're not going to talk about the Knicks for Myers, are you? β
Joseph laughed and said, "Boss, you hate the Knicks so much, how dare I send Miles there?" I didn't even let him try out for the Knicks. Jackson called me personally, but I was turned down! I also complained for a long time about his overstepping coach and forcing players to play triangle offensive tactics. β
"Yes, hard enough! Worthy of my brother! Hougist patted Joseph on the shoulder with satisfaction, "It's just that Miles's order is lower so far, it's really wronged him!" β
"......" Joseph looked like he wanted to say something.
Hoggist saw that Joseph's expression was not quite right, and he was shocked, and asked, "You can't even get Orlando, right?" β
"You can't blame me for that! Miles: He doesn't want to go to a bad team, he wants to go to a stable playoff team! Joseph explained with a sad face.
"Where can I get a lottery pick and have a consistent playoff team? Don't ruin someone's future! Hoggist asked, a little worried.
Joseph shook his head, "Myers is more assertive than you think, he said that the teams in front of him have strong interior lines, and he doesn't necessarily have a place to go, and the Pacers have been playoff regulars before, and the No. 1 highest-paid Roy on the inside. Hibbert has proven himself to be embarrassed to be useful, and Paul. George's season reimbursement for that accidental fracture led to the Pacers finishing ninth in the East this year, and next season's return of George, coupled with his joining, will definitely be able to return to the playoffs, so he asked me to negotiate with the Pacers! β
"This ...... It's too unconfident, although the previous teams have good big men, but except for the Kings' Cousins, I think Miles is no one! β
