Chapter 147: Fifth Priority

76 people are selected to-

Jahir Okafor!

Then, the fourth pick Knicks chose big man Kristaps Porzingis from Latvia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Kelly Oubre and Joe Thomas's faces were a little ugly, when the two of them went to New York for a tryout, the Zen master swore that once it was the Knicks' turn to choose, and Kelly Oubre was not selected, he would definitely use the No. 4 pick to select him.

As the draft continued, Xiao Hua took the note and announced the fifth pick.

"2015 NBA Draft, Fifth Pick, Orlando Magic Pick ......"

Several hot rays of light immediately scattered from the audience, and the champion has been taken away by Karl Anthony Downs, so the next hottest player should be......

"Li Dong! From the University of Kansas. ”

Xiao Hua paused slightly, and shouted out the name of the yellow-skinned kid!

In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes focused on the young man sitting quietly at the round table, and under the spotlight, his angular face carved with a knife and axe showed a unique charm. There were all kinds of looks in his eyes, doubts, surprises, jealousy, and blessings, until he stood up from his position, and everyone woke up like a dream, and let out a belated exclamation in unison.

His loved ones immediately sent him their best wishes, and Joe Thomas was the first to hug him with fists in both hands. Then there were Jack, coach Bill and Kelly Oubre, the latter two with particularly brilliant expressions, and Kelly Oubre's tone was full of envy.

"I really didn't expect the Magic to give up on Kaminsky, I thought you and I would be drafted later, but this time they are quite discerning."

Li Dong was amused by his words, and thought to himself, isn't it, magic was lucky this time.

The attention of this year's draft conference has decreased, but after Li Dong was picked away by the Magic with the fifth pick, the entire ratings began to skyrocket, and Chinese fans all over the world knew in a short period of time that a Chinese guard had been elected to the list for 15 years.

The audience gave a round of applause, and then, the applause became warm, and people suddenly remembered that this 19-year-old boy was the winner of this year's NCAA championship, so they were a little surprised that the magic gave up Kaminsky at the same time, and sighed at the good luck of Li Dong, and sent blessings to him.

After Li Dong and the relatives around him hugged him, he got up and prepared to go on stage, and on the way through, Devin Booker and Justis Winslow got up and high-fived Li Dong and hugged gently.

Then before taking the stage, Li Dong took the Magic baseball cap handed by the staff.

To say that almost every basketball player is born with a clothes rack, Li Dong wears a black suit and a red tie, and under the combination of the classic three elements, his slightly immature face is more handsome. Cool airplane hairstyle, long in the middle to create a flying feeling, shaved on both sides to outline a different kind of freshness, bright eyes like bright stars in summer, if there is no smile to give people a calm temperament, as if nothing can stump him.

After Xiao Hua came up to Li Dong, he quickly swept the whole body of this Chinese guy, and silently gave an S-level score in his heart: good image, temperament, and character, but I don't know if I can get excellent results.

"Hello, Mr. President." Li Dong took the lead in reaching out and shaking hands with the NBA's big boss.

"Hello young man, very good, you have to practice hard and play well in the future." Xiao Hua spoke at a medium speed and nagged a few words in Li Dong's ear.

Li Dong's heart warmed, but he had a good impression of this old man who was always smiling, and for the first time, he felt that the evaluation of the outside world was not true.

The other host at the scene immediately quickly introduced Li Dong: "Li Dong is 1.93 meters tall, plays as a point guard, and in the 14-15 season, he averaged 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game, and led the University of Kansas to complete the best record in single-season school history and won this year's NCAA championship." ”

Immediately afterwards, the big screen at the scene played Li Dong's wonderful clips in college, and the scene of riding and dunking Bobby Portis was played repeatedly, but the editor did not play the slam dunk that was completed on Downs's head, which made the worried Downs breathe a sigh of relief and silently applauded the staff.

ESPN badly switched the camera to the face of another top pick, Frank Kaminski, who won the National University Player of the Year, BigTen Player of the Year, BigTen Tournament MVP, and was selected as the All-America First Team and BigTen All-NBA First Team winner, the winner of the five major awards at this moment, obviously did not expect the Lakers to be so blind-eyed and miss out on his draft fish in vain.

The microphone was handed to Li Dong, who stood in front of the podium, looking at the black pressure under the stage, but no one could see it.

"I'm sure everybody is wondering, why am I standing here?"

As soon as Li Dong opened his mouth, the scene burst into good-natured laughter, obviously being told by Li Dong, but after they laughed, they immediately reported thunderous applause, mixed with a few screams and cheers, which was a little more enthusiastic than before Li Dong came on the field just now.

"In fact, there are too many lucky and unfortunate things in this world." Li Dong squinted his eyes, he was still a little uncomfortable with the environment where dozens of cameras crackled and flashed at him.

"I'm lucky to be here, and it's my luck that I'm standing here, and not just because I was picked in the fifth pick." Li Dong's words were amazing, and everyone covered their mouths, but they didn't make a sound, and listened to him quietly.

"But in reality, there are so many talented people on this planet who are inundated with basketball talent, maybe because of the economy, maybe because of culture, maybe because of something else, we don't know. I'm fortunate to have a group of mentors who have supported me as a professional basketball player and allowed me to pursue the profession I love most. However, basketball is the world's sport, and it is the responsibility and obligation of every basketball person to promote basketball to the world, and I hope to be able to make my own contribution to the development of world basketball in the future, so that more friends can like basketball, and more talents that have not been tapped can stand here as fortunate as me. ”

After Li Dong finished speaking in one breath, he secretly pinched a sweat for himself, thinking that fortunately he was a child who grew up under the red flag, these clichés were simply handy, and they were much more than those black cows who would thank their parents and God all day long.

How have I ever seen such a vigorous speech on the scene? However, it is not that kind of arrogance, compared to the guy who said that he was the white Duncan and the like, I don't know how many times stronger. Immediately, people gave Li Dong more enthusiastic applause, which lasted for a long time.

Adam Xiao Hua stood in the audience, listened carefully to Li Dong's speech, and when he heard that "it is the responsibility and obligation of every basketball person to promote basketball to the world", he suddenly felt that his consciousness was too high, and he should really cultivate it.

Everyone reminisced about Li Dong's speech, and they were still unsatisfied until he went down, and their mouths slightly recited the words that Li Dong said just now, and when they savored it carefully, they seemed to have a new experience.

This is the real show!

For the first time, Durant took a serious look at this guy who was in the same rank as him, and felt that this guy was simply extraordinary, even if it was a famous Oden speech in the United States, it did not have such an effect.

Then the sixth pick, the King, hesitated for a long time, but still chose the athletic big man Willie Cauley Stein, which is a slight surprise, everyone said that he was a genius, and at the same time, the offensive skills were too rough to have the ability to play low back. All mean that choosing him requires a certain amount of risk.

So the Denver Nuggets, who were the seventh pick, chose Guangdong legend Emmanuel Moodier.

The Detroit Pistons, who were the eighth pick, chose Stanley Johnson.

The Charlotte Hornets, who were the ninth pick, chose Frank Kaminsky.

The 10th overall pick of the Miami Heat selected Justis Winslow. (To be continued.) )
