Chapter 192: Chinese Fans' Draft Day (1)

Li Xiaorong saw her son, who had not seen her for almost half a year after the Chinese New Year, and her mother's love immediately overflowed: "Xiaohai, come and show your mother, it seems that she has grown taller again!" ”

Ye Tianping stood beside Ye Hai, who had always been calm, just smiled at Li Xiaorong and Ye Hai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Mom and Dad, you haven't answered me yet, why are you here?" Although he was very happy to see his parents appear in New York, where he was about to participate in the draft, Ye Hai still raised his questions again.

"For such a big thing, can mom and dad not come. You kid, if it weren't for Mr. Danny calling me, I wouldn't have known my son was going to play in the American Professional League! Li Xiaorong's eyes were full of kindness and relief when she looked at Ye Hai.

"What's so surprising about that." Ye Tianping, who had been silent, said, "It's not like me, I think I also represented the county to participate in the city's competition back then, and finally won the championship!" ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Tianping straightened his chest, and his height of 1.85 meters also looked quite tall in the United States.

"Alright, alright! Every time you mention your son's athletic genes, you go against the grain. Li Xiaorong glanced at Ye Tianping, held her son's arm with one hand, and her husband's arm with the other, and said, "This time, our family of three can witness Ye Hai's memorable moment." ”

With a height of 1.72 meters and 5cm high heels, this fashionista, who has loved ballet since childhood, stands between Ye Hai and Ye Tianping, but there is no abrupt feeling at all, but it makes people feel that this is a good family.

On June 25, 2017, at Madison Square Garden in New York City, rookies with lottery draft prospects who had been invited by David Stern came to the 'Little Green Room' and waited for their names to be called.

In the history of the NBA league, after experiencing the "diamond generation" in 1984, the "golden generation" in 1996, and the "platinum generation" in 2003, the gears of history always rotate in the long river of time, and in 2017, the rookies known as the "super platinum generation" happened to meet this best era.

In addition to Ye Hai and Che Yicheng of the Chinese team, there are other figures familiar to Chinese fans in the 'Little Green House'.

Josh Jackson, Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum and other local American players occupy half of the seats in the 'Little Green House', while the lineup of international players is equally strong, including Japan's Eiji Sawaibei, Serbia's Elseg, Australia's Neil, etc.

Edries Adebayo and Malik Monk chose to go to the NCAA to continue their education and play better in the college league before choosing to join the NBA, which was understood by many media as to get rid of the shadow of the other three Oak Hill players who participated in this year's draft and prove that they can lead the team to victory on their own!

According to the body side before the draft, Ye Hai's data is as follows:

Age: 18 years old

Height: 6 ft 7 in (200.5 cm)

Weight: 216 lbs (99.2 kg)

Bench press: 125 kg

Arm Span: 7 ft 1 in (215 cm)

Fat Percentage: 5.7%

Bounce: Run-up jump 46.2 inches (115cm)

Speed: 3.30 seconds for 3/4 sprints

When he saw this body side data, even Larry Bird, who had always been optimistic, was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Ye Hai's physical fitness was actually an excellent talent player in the United States, not to mention that it is difficult to see among the yellow race, even among the blacks, he is also outstanding.

"Did this guy grow up eating steak?" Danny Angie, who has read countless people, was also surprised when he saw this data.

"Even if I get the title sign, I think I will still choose this Chinese, at least from the physical point of view, he has the potential to become a superstar." Angie shook her head and said without thinking, but she still had doubts in her heart.

"Technically, too." Bird seems to be firming up Anji's determination to use the list to sign Ye Hai.

"Okay, okay." Angie smiled and said to Bird, "At least I know why you gave up Jaylen Brown." ”

What the two heavyweights of the Celtics didn't expect was that Ye Hai's body was not only talented, but also benefited from his strict requirements for himself and his dedication to basketball since he was a child.

Accompanied by his father Ye Tianping and mother Li Xiaorong, Ye Hai sat in the 'Little Green House', sitting with his teammates from the Chinese Youth Team, Che Yicheng, and Zebei Eiji, who also belongs to Asia.

Although he has experienced the baptism of the National Competition, the National Games, the Asian Youth Championships and even the World Youth Championships, Ye Hai is inevitably a little nervous in the face of this critical moment in his life.

For this draft with two Chinese players participating in the draft, the developed domestic network is also broadcasting live, and the live broadcast of this NBA draft in China has even exceeded the ratings of Yao Ming when he first participated in the All-Star, which shows the expectations of Chinese fans for the two young talented players who participated in the draft this time.

First of all, the 76 team that won the first pick again, they did not hesitate to choose Josh Jackson, who has already become famous in the United States, the No. 1 high school student in the United States who led Oak Hill High School to sweep the United States in the high school league, although he led the American team to only win the runner-up of the World Youth Championships, but many media outside the United States said that the Chinese team defeated the American team, and luck accounted for the majority, and back in China, Josh Jackson soon vented his anger and killed all sides in the Adidas ABCD Challenge before the draft. Won the MVP in this challenge tournament in which players who were also preparing for the draft by the NCAA also participated!

Then came the Celtics, Danny Angie solemnly handed over a small note with the name of the rookie selected by the team, Adam Xiaohua opened the note, glanced at the audience, and said slowly: "The Celtics chose a high school student from China, Ye Hai!" ”

In the excited applause of Ye Hai's parents and the applause of the other players present, Ye Hai also stood up excitedly at the same time. Although the Celtics contacted Ye Hai very early and expressed their intention to be drafted, it wasn't until the moment his name was called out that Ye Hai really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, followed by excitement and excitement! I've finally made it!

Ye Hai hugged his parents, and then hugged his teammate Che Yicheng of the national youth team, and then stepped onto the stage in three steps and two steps, and took the green shirt cap handed by Xiao Hua, excited.

When Ye Hai was selected by the Celtics, the country was boiling!

Because the news between Ye Hai and the Celtics is very secretive, only Wang Dong knows the accurate news in China, and even Wang Dong's friend Zhang Hong only knows a little about it.

Although Ye Hai's performance in the World Youth Championships was very good, fans who had not had such an unexpected surprise for a long time did not expect Ye Hai to be selected in such a high order! However, Ye Hai and Celtic gave Chinese fans a huge surprise!

After Yao Ming, Ye Hai became the second Asian player to be drafted by an NBA team with the top three picks! And the former is the big name of Chinese basketball, who was selected by the Houston Rockets as the champion and achieved good results in the 'little giant' Yao Ming!

Soon after the Celtics announced the selection of Ye Hai, a blockbuster trade related to the Green Shirts also occurred, and the Green Shirts signed a 4-year, $56 million contract with Isaiah Thomas, and then with Avery Bradley and Jaylen Brown, they made a 3-for-1 trade with the Clippers, and the object of the transaction was the Clippers' leading point guard - Chris Paul!
