Jonny stood still, smiled and took a picture with David Stern, and then, at the signal of the staff, entered a small room next to the venue, where a group of reporters were waiting to interview Jonny, and Jimmy Adams followed at this time.

Upon entering the room, the flashing lights blazed, and Jonny sat on top of the press box with a squint and a smile, waiting for the host to announce the start of the press conference.

Every rookie who is drafted will have a press conference like this, but it won't be too long, about three minutes, and after three minutes, the next rookie will come in.

So the moderator quickly announced the start of the press conference, and then let the reporters ask questions freely.

"Hello, Mr. Jonny Lee, I'm Sam Amick, a reporter for USA Today, and you were selected with the 27th pick in the first round, and your name was not on the previous draft predictions, are you surprised by this result?" The first to ask questions was Sam Amick, a reporter for USA Today.

Jonny's answer to this question is simple: "Surprised, not surprised." Actually, Jonny is still a little nervous now, the last time he announced his participation in the draft, there were only 2 reporters, and now, in front of him, there are a lot of reporters, and then they are all holding long guns and short guns, all holding up towards Jonny.

"Why?" And AmericaToday's reporter Amic was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, and he asked.

"Because I got some team draft promises before the draft, I knew I was going to be drafted, but I didn't expect that I would be drafted in the first round." Naturally, Jonny said it truthfully.

"Hi Jonny, remember me? I'm NBA-Draft reporter Jovarden, I was there when you announced your participation in the draft, how do you feel about actually being drafted by the NBA team this time? The reporter who asked the question, Jonny immediately remembered, Jovardon, one of the only two reporters who interviewed him in the first place.

"What do I think, I think your predictions are wrong, so wrong, because you didn't count me." Jonny wanted to make a joke, so he made it clear to the media that the media was wrong about Jovardon's question.

Unexpectedly, it was this answer that made a reporter at the scene a little angry, he sneered, and then stood up.

"Mr. Jonny, you said we were wrong and didn't count you, but how can you be sure that it's not the Magic team who is wrong?"

Hearing this sudden rhetorical question, Jonny was stunned for a moment, and he looked at the reporter, who was a young white man with gold wire glasses and a somewhat treacherous appearance, and the young white man saw Jonny looking at him, and said unhurriedly: "I'm an ESPN reporter, my name is Henry Abbot." ”

Jonny's eyes narrowed, the reporter named Henry Abbott was obviously questioning his strength just now.

"I understand the strength of my agent, and it can't be that the Magic are wrong, only that the team in front of me is wrong." Before Jonny could speak, Jimmy Adams couldn't help it.

"Ha, haha, what a big joke, what do you think? Then I think your agents have a hard time playing amateur leagues! Henry Abbott laughed a few times, which was clearly mocking Jonny.

"You're a fart!?" Jonny couldn't stand it anymore, he was originally very happy, and he was directly made unhappy by this annoying reporter, so he just started spraying.

"Am I a fart? Haha, all I know is that the Magic are going to lose their eyes at this year's draft. Henry Albert didn't scold Johnny either, but kept ridiculing Johnny's strength.

"Then wait and see, I hope your glasses don't break out of surprise." Jonny surprisingly did not confront Henry Abbott again, but responded to Henry Abbott in the same sarcastic tone.

As for the scolding of Jonny and Henry Abbott, other reporters were very excited, and they got a breaking news, a dispute between a well-known reporter in the industry and a draft dark horse? Who is right, exactly?

Henry Abbott ignored the hilarious expressions of his peers and continued: "Well, I'll wait for you to play in line with this order!" Henry Abbott said it directly, he had already obtained Jonny's physical data, and this data strengthened Henry Abbott's belief that it was impossible for this Asian kid to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Jonny was a little unhappy, and at this time, the host began to urge him to leave, because the next rookie was about to enter the small room.

Jonny was already a little unhappy, and when he heard the host urging him, he casually asked with a very bad attitude: "Who, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The host was also helpless, and replied casually: "Prester Lauderdale, the Eagles just drafted him." ”

When Johnny heard this, he immediately became happy again, this guy was still triumphant in front of Johnny just now, and now he actually fell behind him, Johnny rolled his eyes, and then said to the host: "Then you let him come in first, I want to send him my blessings." ”

The host walked out in a daze, and then called Prestlauderdale, who was already waiting outside the door of the small room.

And when Lauderdale walked into the small room, Jonny greeted him, shook Lauderdale's hand warmly with a bright smile, and then said to the somewhat sluggish Lauderdale with a smile: "Congratulations, Prester, you were actually selected behind me, this is amazing!" What a delight! ”

A trace of anger floated across Lauderdale's face, it was obvious that Jonny was using words to slap him, Lauderdale's face twitched a few times, and he smiled expressionlessly: "Congratulations too" He hurriedly let go of his hand, and then walked away very embarrassed, obviously not wanting to talk to Jonny anymore.

Jonny let go of his hand, feeling refreshed, and drifted away.

As soon as he got out of the small room, Jimmy Adams laughed: "Jonny, it's really yours!" ”

"Of course" Jonny was cool now, he had left that annoying reporter behind, and the uniform crew of the Magic team, who was waiting outside the door, took him directly to the hotel of the Magic uniform team in New Jersey, where they would sign a contract.

When Jonny and Jimmy Adams stepped into the hotel room, several people in the room stood up to welcome Jonny and Jimmy Adams.

"So it's you?!"

And when Jonny saw the mustache, it dawned on him that the magic would choose him because of him.

"Of course, we meet again, and then, we're teammates!" Anfernee Hardaway smiled and held out his hand to Jonny.

And Jonny naturally wouldn't look at Anfernee Hardaway with unkind eyes like the last time they met, after all, if it weren't for this guy, Jonny wouldn't have been selected by the Magic, plus Anfernee Hardaway's attitude towards him now, Jonny naturally shook Anfernee Hardaway's hand with a smile.

"Okay, you should know each other, but Jonny probably doesn't know me yet, so I'll introduce myself first." The middle-aged man next to Anfernee Hardaway spoke.

"I'm John Gabriel, the general manager of the Magic." Gabriel also held out his hand, and Jonny shook hands with the kind middle-aged man. Soon, they were seated on the couch.

"We came to you for the contract, and Anfernee hopes that the team can confirm the contract with you as soon as possible, and then enter the preparation for the new season, so let's talk about it." John Gabriel went straight to the topic, and there was actually nothing to say, because the rookie salary cap introduced by the league last year, and the extent to which rookie contracts can be negotiated is actually not large.

"Okay, so can we take a look at the contract first?" Jimmy Adams also knew about this stubble, so he directly asked for the contract, as long as there were no problems with the contract, he could sign it directly.

John Gabriel took out a contract and handed it to Jimmy Adams, who then began to look at it clause by clause, but Jonny didn't look at the contract, he trusted Jimmy Adams very much, and he probably couldn't understand the contract.

Jimmy Adams spent an hour looking at it, and Jonny was a little bored waiting, and after an hour, Jimmy Adams nodded at Jonny, and there was no problem with the contract, so Jonny picked up the pen and signed.

There is indeed no problem with the contract, this is a 2+1 contract, the salary in the first year is 535,600, and then it will increase year by year, but for what the salary is in the next two years, Jonny doesn't want to forget it, anyway, this salary is enough for him to live.

Of course, Jonny also has a dream for a big contract, and he is already thinking that in three years, he will sign a contract that is bigger than Jordan's.
