Early the next morning, Li Chuanfeng and the others began to get up early to exercise, and even if they participated in the draft, they had to adjust their bodies to the best condition.

Li Chuanfeng and the others left Houston after breakfast, because the place they were going to was New York, after thinking for a while, Li Chuanfeng still made a phone call with Catherine, Catherine seemed very happy after receiving the call, but she didn't expect them to come so quickly, and Catherine immediately set off from New Orleans to New York after receiving the call.

Because there were no relevant documents, Li Chuanfeng and the others had no way to enter the training place, because they learned that if they wanted to participate in the draft, they had to take a physical fitness test, or the team had already said that you were the player they were going to choose, Li Chuanfeng and the others could only stand at the door depressedly waiting for Catherine's arrival, but a few people stood on the road like this and looked very embarrassed.

Li Chuanfeng looked at the familiar but unfamiliar city of New York, looking at the familiar Madison Square Garden: a large white cylindrical building on the corner of 8th and 33rd Streets. Madison Square Garden is a temple of sports and entertainment, with ball games and rock concerts taking place here, originally completed in 1879 as Madison Square, then relocated twice, and now the building is the third generation completed in 1968. Although the venue has changed repeatedly, the name remains the same as the original "Madison". The square is dedicated to the father of the U.S. Constitution, James ?? Madison. Madison Square Garden is home to teams such as the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New York Liberty, St. John's University, Red Storm University, and more, as well as large indoor events such as solo concerts and political rallies. New York's first motivational concert after the devastation of 9/11 and the John ?? Lennon's last concert before his murder in 1980 was held here. The hall in the garden has a special seating list detailing the different seating arrangements for different events such as basketball, ice hockey, concerts, etc., and according to statistics, the stadium hosts 320 large-scale events a year.

Just when Li Chuanfeng and a few of them looked at this very old arena, Catherine went to New York, and when she came to the Nets' arena, she didn't see Li Chuanfeng and them, and made a phone call to know that they were at the home court of the Knicks, which made Catherine very speechless, and if you can't catch up with the physical fitness test in two days, it will be a big trouble, if you can't participate in the physical fitness test in time, then you don't even have a chance to be drafted, fortunately, Li Chuanfeng and a few of them are in time, But Li Chuanfeng and the others were confused, didn't it take place on the Knicks' home court? How did you come to the home court of the Nets, but looking at the Barclays Center in front of you is also very extraordinary, from the appearance of the square izod center style is completely different, the oval roof, streamlined body, dark brown and beige tones, so that the whole arena looks noble and generous, like a covered "bird's nest". The design of the inner box of the arena is also luxurious, in the soft yellow? Under the illumination of the colored lights, the whole box looks extravagant, with an oversized LCD TV hanging on the front, fruit and chilled champagne on one side, two leather sofas in front of the TV, and a kitchen kitchen on the opposite side of the TV.

Li Chuanfeng now they don't have time to care about this, just when they are about to get off work, Li Chuanfeng and a few of them arrived, and the staff looked impatient, but this is their job because it is for Catherine's face to reluctantly agree, Li Chuanfeng and a few of them came one by one, Li Chuanfeng was the last, and when he talked to Catherine, he knew that the original NBA draft had already begun to change, and it had changed a lot, and now the draft time can only go to Madison Arena in New York, But the current fitness test is generally held on the home court of the Nets, and now you only need to participate in the fitness test or sign a contract with the team, and you only have to participate in this test now to have a chance, because the data of these tests is sorted out and handed over to each team for their reference to the draft.

Li Chuanfeng nodded and said that he already understood, but the physical fitness test is still very common, that is, standing and feeling high, physical flexibility, etc. are very common, but these foundations are the most important, and the test will be completed soon, Li Chuanfeng and the staff are very polite to say goodbye, and the staff is also impressed by these young men, Li Chuanfeng and a few of them left the stadium only to find that there is no place to go, Catherine saw the appearance of a few of them, and knew that they had no place to go, Fortunately, the past two days have not been very busy, because Catherine has already greeted the team, and they only have a first-round pick of the 14th pick in this draft, so the team still respects Catherine's choice, because she has a very unique vision, as long as he is optimistic about the future of this player, then it means that this player's ability is not ordinary.

After taking Li Chuanfeng and a few of them to dinner, let them go to the hotel to rest for a while, because there is still one day of physical fitness test, so the draft time is still three days away, Catherine wanted to take Li Chuanfeng and a few of them to have a good time in New York, but was rejected by Li Chuanfeng, Li Chuanfeng and a few of them did not have the leisure to look at the city of New York, and they were under a lot of pressure, because they did not tell the team about participating in the draft, so three days passed with an uneasy mood, Li Chuanfeng and the five of them got the invitation as they wished, and they came to the Madison Arena under the leadership of Catherine, the arena was still really lively at this time, Li Chuanfeng and several of them came to their seats under the leadership of Catherine, waiting for the start of the draft. Stern came to the table, for this person as long as he is a basketball player, he will know David?? Stern is a Jewish-American, and his father runs a delicatessen in New York that helped him go from middle school to college. Stern has many personal hobbies, and he loves the opera "Jersey Boys". He explained that the character was a lot like himself, and that his family's restaurant was in Manhattan, but that he moved to New Jersey when he was 12 years old, where he attended high school. "I was ranked 112th out of 500 students in our grade." Stern graduated from Columbia Law School in 1966. At that time, he was a lawyer at the Manhattan Law Firm, and the NBA was their biggest client. In 1978, he joined the NBA as a general counsel, where he was involved in the development of the "free agent clause" and penalties for players who use drugs. In 1980, he was promoted to Vice President of Alliances. "I didn't really plan to stay in the NBA for a long time, but then I realized that working was a lot of fun, like a puzzle that needed to be solved," Stern said. On February 1, 1984, Stern assumed the position of NBA president. "We were almost unsustainable, there were too many black players, they used too much cocaine, their wages were too high (although the average salary was $250,000 a year), and a lot of the issues we had in our meetings were whether to shut down or merge teams," Stern described the league as "almost unsustainable, too many black players, they used too much cocaine, they were paid too much (although the average salary was $250,000 a year), and a lot of the issues we had in our meetings were whether to shut down the team or merge the team," Stern described the league as "too many black players, they used too much cocaine, they were paid too much (although the average salary was $250,000 a year], and a lot of the issues we had in our meetings were whether to shut down the team At that time, the NBA had just finished the finals in North America and still needed to be recorded. Of the 23 teams in the league, 17 are in the red, with a total value of $400 million. In order to keep more teams afloat, he introduced a salary cap system.

In the June 1985 NBA Draft, Stern improved the original draft system to allow teams that didn't make the playoffs to get high draft picks. Georgetown's center Patrick?? Ewing was seen as the No. 1 pick of the year, and Stern pulled out the No. 1 envelope for the Knicks, who had the third-to-last record in the league the previous season. Many eyewitnesses reported seeing the envelope Stern pull out with a folded corner and sending Ewing to New York, where the league was in desperate need of a television market, a claim by many conspiracy theorists. In 1986, the Boston Celtics' "Eye Show" Ryan?? Bias died of a cocaine overdose on the third day after the draft, and this tragedy also became the fuse for the NBA to increase anti-drug and anti-doping efforts. In January 1986, Stern issued a ban on drugs, severely punishing "drug-related" players. Two-time All-Star John?? Drew became the first player to be banned for life. The former Hawks star, who averaged 20.7 points and 6.9 rebounds per game in his 11-year career, was banned for life after being caught taking cocaine for the third time. Clearing the drug scandal was Stern's biggest early contribution to the NBA, allowing the league to project a healthy image and further its acceptance by white fans. On November 20, 2004, Ron?? Artest dominated the Auburn Hills palace brawl. He was banned for 72 games. It was the heaviest ticket in NBA history. Since 2006, the NBA has set a minimum age limit for draft players, and players in the United States need to be at least 19 years old and have graduated from high school for at least one year before they can participate in the draft. Stern pushed for the limit to be raised to 20 in 2011, but the effort was unsuccessful. In October 2005, Stern was unmoved by the announcement that the league would enforce a "dress code" that would limit players to business casual attire for events. In July 2007, Tim ?? Donaghi was exposed by the media to be involved in gambling. Stern insisted that Donaghi was acting personally and assisted the FBI in its investigation, which ultimately sent Donaghi to prison. When Sean and Chester decided to sell the New Orleans Hornets in December 2010, no one took over. But Stern wanted the team to stay in the city, so he asked the NBA to buy the team and let the league take custody. This also led to Stern subsequently halting Paul's trade to the Lakers, which led to Paul's eventual move to the Clippers. Besson eventually bought the Hornets in April 2012.

Just when Li Chuanfeng and the others were nervous, Stern began to announce the draft, Li Chuanfeng and several of them were looking forward to being selected, because this draft was not favored by the outside world, Li Chuanfeng saw a few more familiar figures Daniel and Paul of the University of Houston, I didn't expect them to come to the draft, just a simple hello, Stern began to announce that the team signed by the top pick in this draft is xxx They chose xxx from xxx university, until the 14th pick, Li Chuanfeng heard that his name was selected by the New Orleans Pelicans, glanced back at Catherine, and after seeing Catherine's expression, he knew that this was Catherine making trouble, originally many teams were very sympathetic to the Pelicans' brain-dead approach, but after seeing Li Chuanfeng, some of them were very familiar but some were very vague, but they were quickly recognized, so this draft became very bizarre, Liu Rong was selected by the Thunder in the 30th pick in the first round, This is because the Thunder's No. 4 position needs a substitute, and Guo Feng was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 3rd pick in the second round, and the Oriental Basket was selected by the Pacers at the 25th pick at the end, but Lin Feitao was not selected in the end, so Li Chuanfeng began to kick off the NBA.

The players who were drafted all took a picture together, and then they were told to report on their teams, and they met here in three days, because it's the new rules in the NBA, and I'm here to tell you a little bit about it.

That's how Li Chuanfeng began to report to his team, the Pelicans!
