On draft day, just after the top 10 rookies passed, a barrage of trades took place.

Cole Aldridge of the University of Kansas was selected with the 11th overall pick by the New Orleans Hornets. This guy was also a star in college, tall and long-armed, fierce in rebounding, and excellent defensively. After being drafted by the Hornets, he immediately ran to the stage excitedly and delivered a bunch of passionate speeches similar to being willing to shed blood for the Hornets.

Unexpectedly, before the first round was over, he was traded by the Hornets to the Thunder in exchange for Craik Brightins and Quincy Bombset.

This made the little shy teenager's face flush, and the camera shot it with an embarrassed look on his face. Xavier Henry, a fellow player from the University of Kansas, was concerned and patted his friend on the shoulder and whispered comfort.

Then, it was like opening a hot market, and there were constantly rookies who had just been selected to be traded, such as potential point guard Bledsoe, such as Lazar Hayward of Marquette University, whom Tang Wenlong once played against, which made this group of half-sized children appreciate the cruelty of the NBA for the first time, and they also vigilantly began to retract their words and no longer say some stupid words that are willing to die.

At the end of the first round, there was still no team to pick Andy Rustin away, which made Andy's face a little pale.

For these seniors, entering the NBA is not only a basketball dream, but also a realistic and excellent job, and the pressure on them is very high.

"It's okay, there will definitely be a team selection in the second round." Tang Wenlong comforted.

Andy smiled wryly and replied, "I hope so, it's really a poor performance during the trial." ”

Andy Rustin and Tang Wenlong are obviously two types of people, Andy's offensive ability with the ball is very mediocre, although the shooting skills are outstanding, but once no one feeds the ball, it is just a squib that attracts firepower, so when he participated in the joint trial, his performance was very different from his college days.

But fortunately, in the eighth pick in the second round, Andy Rustin was picked by the Knicks, and he was so excited that he almost didn't call out, shook hands with his relatives from Canada, and then hugged Tang Wenlong and others one by one.

"Hey, I'll just say you're going to be picked up by the big city, New York, tsk, that's amazing!" Wesley Johnson had a look of envy on his face.

Andy laughed and punched him in the chest.

Tang Wenlong said succinctly: "Come on!" ”

The 10-year draft was undoubtedly a sensational one, and although the ratings were mediocre, the impact was profound.

There are so many news points in this that it is a mess, and from any angle, it will cause a boom in reading and understanding among the audience, which is very interesting.

For example, Tang Wenlong won the second pick, giving Chinese people all over the world a face, once again proving that basketball is not just a game of the country. For example, Gordon Hayward was a super upset, counterattacking Evan Turner, becoming the highest pick in the history of Butler University, which is amazing. Of course, this was followed by the domineering declaration of war by Evan Turner, who fell to the fourth pick, and the video clip was later posted on YouTube, causing thousands of viewers to click on it in a short period of time.

There is also a unique election speech like Tang Wenlong, from the perspective of the art of language, it is comparable to the best speech of all the rookies in the 2010 industry, that is, the Yankee, who has always been picky, also praised this eloquent teenager. So not long after the draft ended, Tang Wenlong was nicknamed a "speaker" by a media outlet, and it spread quickly.

In China, Tang Wenlong has suddenly become the hottest search term!

No matter where they are, the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese have always been praised, especially in things like "long faces", which the Chinese are particularly keen on. As the saying goes, people live a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick of incense. Like Tang Wenlong, a Chinese kid with good roots and a proven ancestral home of 18 generations, when he goes abroad, he is equivalent to his own child, and he is elected to the NBA list with his hard work, which is equivalent to getting very good results in the exam, compared to a bunch of other people's children, as a parent, how can he not be happy?

People can't help but begin to fantasize about the Chinese national team, with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian on the inside, and Tang Wenlong on the outside.

And the most surprising thing is that people find that Chinese people entering the NBA are getting better and better.

Wang Zhizhi, ** and Yao Ming in the past, Yi Jianlian now, Sun Yue and Tang Wenlong, it seems that playing basketball well and being handsome also complement each other. It is no wonder that since Tang Wenlong became famous, his female fans in China have increased day by day, and he has gradually become a national boyfriend.

Tang Wenlong accepted an exclusive interview from the imperial court, which was his first interview after being elected to the list.

The imperial court station also attaches great importance to this newly rising "reckless in the rivers and lakes", and the reporter sent over for an exclusive interview is actually the well-known celebrity Yu Jia.

The two met in a quaint Manhattan café, and after a brief pleasantries, Yu Jia asked the first formal question he brought with him today.

"What made you come to the U.S. alone to pursue your basketball dreams?"

Tang Wenlong smiled and said, "I like it, because I like basketball, because I am persistent in this dream." ”

Yu Jia nodded, there was also a smile on his face, Tang Wenlong looked a little immature, but he was more mature than he was in the phenomenon, he simply recorded it in the small book, and continued to ask: "Now that you have been selected as the top pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, how do you feel?" ”

Tang Wenlong habitually shrugged his shoulders, and this scene was seen by Yu Jia, who was good at observation.

"The feeling is, wow, I was actually elected to the list, haha." Tang Wenlong laughed out loud as he spoke, and then Yu Jia was amused by Tang Wenlong and laughed too.

The two smirked for a while, Tang Wenlong's mind was actually spinning quickly, and then continued: "Actually, to be honest, there is nothing special, the draft is just a way for our players to enter the NBA, and real success requires continuous hard work and struggle." In the history of the NBA, there are many players who have become All-Stars without drafting, and there are not a few who are elected as the champion and eventually become passers-by. ”

"It seems that you still look at this issue more rationally and are very calm." Yu Jia opened his mouth and praised.

Tang Wenlong smiled, a little embarrassed.

Yu Jia looked at the shy appearance of the young man, it was difficult to confirm the majestic player on the field with him, he felt like a little boy next door, his eyes were more relaxed, and he asked: "Now you are very hot in China, the news headlines in the past few days are basically your name, not only in the sports section, politics, economy, and entertainment have your name, it is really popular overnight." ”

Tang Wenlong touched his head and was noncommittal.

Yu Jia asked: "Fans are very interested in the story of your university, can you tell us about the most interesting thing you have encountered in the past year or so?" ”

"Is it basketball?" Tang Wenlong asked rhetorically.

"It's okay, it's okay in life."

Tang Wenlong said: "The most interesting thing is probably the summer training camp with Wesley Johnson, when we were trained by Coach Jack. Then there were two days off in between, and the two of us drove for a few hours to New York. Then we came to the most prestigious Rock Basketball Park, which was originally just a blind stroll and worship the Holy Land, and guess what happened? ”

Yu Jia had already pricked up his ears and asked cooperatively, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, I don't know what's wrong, in the first team on the court, there are actually two players missing, it just so happens that Wesley and I are taller and taller, and we are dressed in a lot of sports, so let's go on the court and take a look."

Yu Jia smiled: "Then in the end, the team with yours must have won easily, right?" ”

Tang Wenlong said: "How can it be so easy, there are many streetball games that are very different, Wesley and I have been beaten by our respective opponents, and many of their dribbles are like magic." Tang Wenlong stretched out his hand and gestured, "Like this, like this, hide in your clothes for a while, and bounce the ball back with a whirling force for a while, and there are even rolling people among the passers, which is simply eye-opening." “

Yu Jia was embarrassed: "So you lost?" “

Tang Wenlong still shook his head and said with a smile: "We were played like fools, our teammates were not satisfied, and they didn't want to be teammates with us, and then Wesley was angry at that time, he stopped passing the ball or anything after he got the ball, and he no longer did some strange ball control, either he forced a dunk, or he chiseled the inside line one by one, and turned a street ball game into a hand-to-hand fight, which made the audience on the sidelines boo!" And then we won so shamelessly, there was nothing they could do about us, they were actually thinner than us college students, and they had no strength at all. “

Yu Jia laughed, and was poked at the laughter by Tang Wenlong's self-deprecating "shameless win".

The two laughed for a while, and Yu Jiacai continued to ask: "So what are your prospects for the new season?" To the individual or to the team. “

Tang Wenlong listened to "or" as "and", and replied to himself: "Personally, I just hope to be able to get the best rookie." For the team, it is hoped that they can join forces with the team's old-timers and bring the 76ers back to the playoffs. "Well, have you ever thought about playing for the national team?" "That's for sure." Tang Wenlong's smile was a little stiff, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he cheered up 120,000 points, this is a meat play! "Being able to play for the national team is what every Chinese desires, and it is an honor. And Yao Ming's big brother, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue, these seniors have rich experience, and being teammates with them is simply cool. "Haha, the last two questions," Yu Jia nodded with satisfaction, "These are the two questions that fans voted for the most on the website." "One is how tall you really are, and the second is do you have a girlfriend?"

Tang Wenlong is embarrassed, what is this, the fans are too boring. He thought for a moment and answered the first question truthfully: "I haven't measured the specific height, but I know that it should be about two meters after wearing shoes" "As for the second question, it's simple, I have a girlfriend." “

Yu Jia's eyes lit up, the fire of gossip burned, and he asked: "Is it an American or a Chinese, a college classmate or another friend?" ”

Tang Wenlong was speechless, didn't he say that it was the last two questions?

However, he still politely answered Yu Jia's additional question: "I am Chinese, not a college classmate." ”

"Wow, that's a high school classmate, that's awesome." Yu Jia asserted, looking like I was from the past.

Tang Wenlong didn't object this time, thinking that the classmates he knew in high school should all be high school classmates, right?
