Chapter Seven: The Draft and Black Silk

June 24, 2010, Madison Square Garden, New York. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The annual NBA Draft is underway.

"With the first pick in the first round, the Washington Wizards selected John Wall from the University of Kentucky!"

“YEAAAAAAAH――!!”

Basically, there is no suspense in the selection of the champion, and the Washington Wizards are extremely lucky. It is clear that he only ranks sixth in the lottery winning rate, but he touched the most important lottery spot and won the long-desired super point guard John Wall.

"John, laugh one!"

Wall came on the court with a happy face, took the Wizards cap from David Stern, shook hands with the league president and smiled. This photo later became the starting point of the Wizards' revival after 2010, and was remembered by many Wizards fans for a long time.

At the same time, outside the draft venue.

“…… Why didn't you let me in??? ”

An Asian with oily hair stared at the security guard with an unhappy expression. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many media reporters in the neighborhood and he had to think about his image, this guy would probably have already gone up to fight with the security guards.

"No admission without an invitation!"

The security guard abided by the rules and stopped the oil head outside the entrance with one hand, and many reporters nearby held back a smile and raised the camera in their hands, clicking and shooting.

"This Asian is really funny, he wants to enter the venue without an invitation, he has a hole in his brain!"

A reporter looked at Gu Yu's unyielding various arguments, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "From Wang to Yao to Yi, I thought that Chinese were very humble and polite, and more restrained." I didn't expect there to be such a guy, haha! ”

Since the end of the NIKE Basketball Summit, Gu Yu has shined, and this "hairstyle brother" from the mysterious Oriental Continent has suddenly become the focus of Chinese media coverage.

Of course, this is related to Gu Yu's Chinese identity, but more importantly, Gu Yu's performance in the final moments of the game is too dazzling.

After playing more than three minutes in playing time, he made six consecutive shots and six hits at the same sweet spot, all of which went into the net, including a whistle-blowing blow that decided the outcome of the game, scoring 12 points in a row.

Gu Yu's wonderful performance instantly detonated domestic public opinion, from the mainstream media to social networks, the name of "Chinese Hairstyle Brother" resounded all over the country, as long as you are a basketball fan, you have heard of Gu Yu's amazing performance.

"Reborn", "Dominating the Pitch", "Hitting 100 Shots", "Bullet No Misses"......

Countless words of beauty poured into Gu Yu, and this little-known little shooter instantly topped the top of the major hot search lists.

Asian basketball can only be regarded as a third-rate basketball player in the world basketball world, and occasionally there are a few star players who can enter the NBA, and almost all of them are inside. Before Gu Yu, Sun Yue was the only Chinese backcourt player who was really selected by the NBA, and he had almost no playing time and became a towel-wielding expert.

All of this makes the Chinese people full of desire to be able to appear an NBA-level guard.

Gu Yu's birth suddenly made him famous in China. Countless media began to dig deep into Gu Yu's life experience, but the more they dug up, the more incredible they felt.

Not because of how ups and downs Gu Yu's life is, but because he is too ordinary.

Yes, ordinary, showing basketball talent since childhood, playing from amateur to semi-professional, and finally entering a sports school, Gu Yu's basketball experience, like countless domestic basketball players, has nothing to offer.

Compared with Dazhi's running and jumping and skills, Yao Ming's tallness, Yi Jianlian's Asian devil muscular physique, and Sun Yue's unconventional tall point guard label...... Gu Yu's physical fitness is not outstanding in the slightest, and among basketball players, he can even be said to be a "mortal".

If it weren't for the regional competition at the beginning of the year, Gu Yu stepped forward when the team's main interior line was in crisis, scored consecutive goals with a knife, and scored 20 points in the half, he would not even be eligible to enter the NIKE Basketball Summit training camp, let alone play in the NBA.

In the final list of the Basketball Summit International Team, people's expectations for Sui Ran are also much higher than Gu Yu. Basically, everyone thinks that Gu Yu is just going to make up a number and increase his attention, and he really wants to look forward to what wonderful performances he has on the field, which is a fool's dream.

However, the result surprised everyone.

The timid shooter turned into a crazy scorer, and he took away the game with a three-shot five-by-two hand, and even his personality changed greatly.

This dramatic contrast has aroused the interest of many Chinese people. But in the United States, not many people know Gu Yu.

This is not because American fans didn't see the data of the summit competition, but because Gu Yu was an amateur in the United States before. Even if the fans watched the game, they would only remember that "there was a grease head shot that scored the final shot", and they would not remember who the oil head was and where it came from.

There are several such news stories every day in the basketball kingdom of the United States, and if you can remember it, it is not a fan, it is a machine.

“…… Don't think I don't know, when Boss Chen Mu participated in the draft back then, there was no invitation, didn't he enter the venue anyway? Why can he get in, but I can't? Doesn't it discriminate against defenders?? ”

Near the entrance, Gu Yu was still arguing with the security guards, and this kind of momentum that would not give up until the goal was achieved, but it was a bit paranoid.

"Hey, I said, why are you so shafted?"

The security guard was not happy anymore, and said to Gu Yu with a frown: "When Chen Na will participate in the draft, he has an agent, and the agent has his own channels and ways, and it is his ability to enter the field." What do you have? Yes? Tell me what you have?? ”

"I ......"

Gu Yu was choked by the security guard's words, his mouth opened, his head turned wildly, but he couldn't think of a reason why he could enter the arena, and finally said angrily: "I can't kill you!" ”

"Poof...... Gotta it~"

On the side, a reporter couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to Gu Yu in a few steps, stretched out his hand and patted the latter's shoulder and said: "China's way of doing things doesn't work in the United States, you just bear with it a little, isn't it the same to go back to the hotel to watch the live broadcast?" ”

"You know!"

Gu Yu shook his head and shoulder, shook his hand away, and said angrily: "If I turn around and leave now, won't it be tantamount to admitting cowardice?" No, no, absolutely not, I won't admit that you just let me eat! Bah! ”

Seeing Gu Yu roll up his sleeves and look like he was going to fight, the reporter really had no choice but to use a trick.

"Gu Yu, calm down, don't embarrass our Chinese......!"

"What the I ...... Ahhh ”

Gu Yu was halfway through scolding, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This...... This is in Chinese!

After a pause, seeing the person behind him, Gu Yu suddenly lost his temper.

"If you really don't want to go back and watch the live stream...... I have a way, but I don't know if you want to come~"

Behind Gu Yu, a girl with an oriental face smiled sweetly, her eyes were round and a little aura, and she winked at Gu Yu playfully and said: "Our media reporters have a media center in the venue, although it is far away, but we can also see the situation on the spot, how about it, can you come~?" ”

"Come on, come on!"

Gu Yu's eyes carefully looked at the girl in front of him from top to bottom, and finally landed on the pair of black silk beautiful legs, swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and nodded hurriedly: "Without further ado, let's go right away, what are you waiting for?" ”
