Chapter 34: Breaking Through the Glasses (First Update)
Michael Jordan was jumping to his feet and scolding the old fox, while Pat Riley had lit a cigar of victory, smiling triumphantly in the smoke rising from the smoke. Although he paid a high price, he did not regret it at all, and even faintly felt in his heart that this choice was more important than the selection of Michael Beasley.
At the same time, Yang Mo was still stunned.
He really didn't expect that looking at the surprised people next to him, he had been sitting there, stupid. For a while, a lot of pictures popped up in his head, starting from his father giving him his first basketball, to practicing day after day, to being rejected by the CBA youth team, to shooting CUBA's first goal to lead Nanhua University to the quarterfinals, to being defeated on the street, and then to ......
The scenes of the past lingered in my mind like a replay of an old movie, and involuntarily, tears came out of my eyes.
By the time he stood up, it had been almost ten minutes since David Stern had announced the results. This is definitely an exception in the history of the draft, and even the trade has been announced over there, and Yang Mo has not yet stood on the stage to speak.
Now Yang Mo is embarrassed because he doesn't know which hat to wear to speak. Wear a Bucks hat, now you're a Miami player. Wear a Miami hat, and choose your own Bucks.
Under the entanglement, Yang Mo simply wore two hats, the buck's hat was on his head, and the Heat's hat was on top of the buck's hat.
Seeing Yang Mo wearing two hats, there were not too many surprises on the scene, after all, it was already the biggest surprise that Yang Mo was selected in the eighth pick.
Yang Mo walked up to the stage, David Stern greeted him and shook hands with Yang Mo: "Welcome to the NBA family." ”
"Thank you." Yang Mo smiled slightly, walked to the front of the stage, held the microphone, and looked at the people below with different expressions, some blessed, some disdainful, some cheering, all kinds of expressions and emotions.
Yang Mo smiled at this, and then said slowly: "I know that for everyone, it is an accident that I can be selected for this position. In fact, it was an accident for myself. A month ago, I was worried about my future and didn't know what I would do after graduation. Right now... I actually got one of the best paying jobs in the world. ”
After Yang Mo finished saying this, there were some small voices below, as well as some sparse applause.
"It's normal for people to disapprove of me now. I hope that in the near future, people will recognize my abilities and give me a thumbs up and say, "Oh! That Chinese Yang is amazing, and it was definitely a wonderful deal for Miami in draft history. Yang Mo continued to say calmly.
Yang Mo's attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made the people below quiet down a little.
"Thank you Milwaukee for choosing me, even though I've never dealt with you. And thank you to the Heat for bringing me to Miami, and I hope my talent will help the team improve. At last... Thank you to those who have looked down on me all these years, I will build the most gorgeous castle of the stone you threw at me, and your slander of me will be sharpened by me into the sharpest weapon, and I will open up the territory and sweep thousands of armies all the way forward. ”
As he spoke, Yang Mo bowed and stepped down.
If Yao Ming left the impression of kindness and humor on the Americans, then now Yang Mo has left them with the impression of being tough and sharp.
Walking to the stage, TNT TV, which bought out the exclusive broadcast rights of this talent conference, immediately invited Yang Mo to the studio, where several hosts were already waiting for him.
This is a regulation arranged by the alliance, and Yang Mo does not resist, isn't it just a TV interview? Come on.
After sitting down in the studio, host Fields quickly launched his opening remarks: "Let's welcome this year's No. 8 show, the big forward from China, Yang Mo." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Yang Mo corrected: "Actually, I can also play small forward, but I prefer to stay in the restricted area when defending." ”
"Oh, I see." Fields smiled slightly, turned to the two guests next to him and asked, "Chris, Jeff, what do you think?" ”
Chris Webber smiled and said, "I don't know anything about Young, I've never seen him play, so I can't make an analysis for the fans just yet." However, my gut tells me that this kid is going to be a good player, and what he said about it touched me a lot. ”
After Chris Webb finished speaking, Jeff Van Gundy took over the conversation, he did not comment directly, but asked Yang Mo: "Yang, can you tell me which team you play in China?" I've coached Yao, I've been to China a few times, so I know a little bit about that. ”
"I didn't have the experience of playing in a professional team." Yang Mo shook his head and said very frankly: "I am a student. ”
"Oh, that's amazing." Jeff Van Gundy was surprised for a moment, and then asked, "With three wonderful point guards canvassing for you today, are you very good friends?" ”
"Of course." Yang Mo nodded, in his heart, he even regarded those three guys as brothers.
"So it was your skills that conquered them? And not for some other reason to make them sell you so hard? Van Gundy continued.
"Yes. We had a fight at the Orlando gym. Yang Mo said without hesitation: "I think it was at that time that we formed a deep friendship, and they thought that I might not be selected, so they helped me." ”
"Then are you surprised by the pick of the eighth show?"
"Of course, I always thought I might be drafted at the beginning of the second round or the end of the first round, but it scared me and I even played 10 minutes off the court before I came to my senses."
"Well, I'll ask you a professional question. It's no secret that your height isn't great among interior players, so how are you going to survive in the box? ”
"I don't think height is the only thing that determines the box, the position, the power, the reach, the basketball awareness and the control of the rules, it's all important. And as it happens, I'm pretty good at that. Yang Mo said confidently.
"Okay, I'm done with my question. Hope you have a fantastic NBA trip. Fields, is there anything else to add? ”
"Nope." Fields shook his head and continued, "Okay, thank you for coming to our studio, and I wish you all the best in Miami." ”
"Thank you, goodbye." Yang Mo waved at the three of them, waved at the camera again, and walked out of the door quickly.
After Yang Mo went out, the three of them discussed again.
"Is Pat Riley crazy? Is the Chinese market that important? Last year's Yi had already proved that Yao Ming was irreproducible, and this year he actually chose a pocket insider. Fields said very incomprehensibly.
"No, I don't agree with you, I think this kid might be able to surprise us a little." Chris Webber immediately retorted: "Pat Riley has never screwed up in the draft, and he can take such a big risk to choose Young, Young must have something extraordinary." ”
"I'm also more inclined to Chris's opinion. I couldn't agree more with Young's views on the penalty area just now, I think he's a smart player. Van Gundy also expressed optimism about Yang Mo's future.
At this time, Fields is a little embarrassed, he is just a host, and he is in control of the process and enlivens the atmosphere for the show. When it comes to expertise, he's only half-baked. It just so happened that Augustine, the ninth show DJ selected by the Bobcats, came over, and he quickly changed the subject: "Okay, now the ninth show Augustine is coming to our studio......"
