The next day, the sports media were covering the NBA draft, but the headline of the NBA draft news was not that Derrick Rose became the new No. 1 pick, but that Zhang Guan was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Every year in the NBA draft, there are always some players that everyone doesn't know or don't care about, especially the rookie at the end of the second round, no one cares at all, and Zhang Guan has obviously become the most watched No. 58 rookie in history.

Some of the more mainstream media are still in a neutral position in reporting on this matter. At this time, the vast majority of the media have not yet figured out what is going on, and why did the Los Angeles Lakers choose Zhang Guan without warning. Even some media did not know that Zhang Guan would participate in the NBA draft, and these sports media in a state of confusion could only publish a statement of news.

But those sports commentators or sports celebrities are much more active, and they live on this after all, so they are the first to express their thoughts on this year's NBA draft through their blogs and other means.

"The Los Angeles Lakers definitely made a bad move, they used the only draft pick of the year to choose someone who has never had basketball experience, but for the Los Angeles Lakers, a No. 58 pick is nothing, anyway, many teams don't care about the rookie at the end of the second round, even if it is a pity." Here's what one sports commentator said.

"I think the Lakers were right to choose Zhang Guan, Los Angeles has the largest Chinese market in the United States, and Zhang Guan's arrival can at least attract Chinese fans throughout California. And Zhang Guan's commercial value can also be well reflected in Los Angeles, and he can help the Los Angeles Lakers gather more popularity. Another sports commentator put it this way.

But immediately there were sports celebrities who expressed a different opinion: "Some people say that Zhang Guan can bring popularity to the Lakers, but don't forget, the Lakers are not short of popularity, and they are not all lacking in attention, the Lakers have a long history, there are superstars like Kobe Bryant, they are the giants in the NBA, will they still worry that no one will come to watch?" So I don't think it's possible for Zhang Guan to actually enter the Los Angeles Lakers to play. For Zhang's future in the NBA, if he is lucky, he will become a mascot, and the Lakers will take this opportunity to launch a memorabilia about Zhang; And if he's unlucky, Zhang Guan may be used as an add-on to a certain transaction......"

A well-known scout was upset with the other players: "The news that the Lakers chose Zhang Guan in 58th place surprised me very much, because I know that there are still many good young players who have not been selected this year, I tried to contact a few of them, and some people said that the Lakers' choice is very unfair to them, and the Lakers chose Zhang Guan, which means that these excellent young people have lost a very important opportunity." I really don't understand why the Los Angeles Lakers don't choose so many good basketball players, but choose a layman who hasn't played basketball for a day! I think those young players with potential deserve that kind of opportunity! ”

The NBA has always been brutal, especially for rookies, and it is extremely difficult to get into the NBA. It's actually hard for undrafted rookies to get into the NBA.

According to the normal process, if the undrafted rookie wants to get a contract in the NBA, he must first get a trial opportunity for other teams in the preseason, and if the trial performance is good, he will get one or two preseason games. If you don't do any of these things well, then the player will have to go to the lower leagues or play overseas.

A rookie at the end of the second round may not be valued by NBA teams, and may not get a contract with a base salary, but they have more opportunities and fewer detours than undrafted players. They don't have to look for pre-season trials, they don't have to worry about playing in pre-season because they have been selected by the team, so they will definitely have more consistent playing time in pre-season games and more opportunities to show themselves. Even if you can't get into the NBA right away, you can at least get a chance to play in the development league.

An inconspicuous end of the second round is actually a shortcut that many rookies are looking forward to and yearning for. Because of this, the unselected players have a lot of complaints about the Lakers' choice of Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan inadvertently moved other people's cakes, even if this cake didn't belong to them, but since they couldn't eat grapes, they had to say that grapes were sour.

……

In China, the media has not yet contacted Zhang Guan himself, but the Basketball Association was the first to stand up and express his support for Zhang Guan's entry into the NBA, which is not common in the past.

Coach Younas of the men's basketball team even supported Zhang Guan, and he directly told the media that Zhang Guan has the strength to play in the NBA.

When Zhang Guan joined the men's basketball team a few days ago, the Basketball Association was passive for some days, and now the Basketball Association is finally raising its eyebrows, before someone said that Zhang Guan was not qualified to join the men's basketball team, and now even the NBA has selected Zhang Guan, so the Basketball Association no longer has to worry about someone saying that Zhang Guan has not joined the men's basketball team......

Next, the Los Angeles Lakers also sent Zhang Guan an invitation to the preseason training camp, and also invited a lot of media to show the invitation on the spot, for fear that others would not know. Obviously, the Los Angeles Lakers are also taking this opportunity to build momentum

But the champion team immediately replied, saying that Zhang Guan's top priority now is to prepare for the Olympics, and other things are not considered for the time being, and politely declined the invitation of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This answer is reasonable, the NBA can accept it, the Lakers can accept it, the American fans can accept it, the Chinese fans can also accept it, and the most important thing is that the domestic leaders will be very satisfied with it.

In this era of information explosion, more fresh and exciting news will soon appear, diverting people's attention, even if someone is still frying cold rice, no one will continue to pay attention.

At this time, another training camp of the men's basketball team also kicked off, this time, Da Yao and the United Arab Emirates both returned, and the men's national basketball team finally got all the people.
