"Did you hear that? This year, Chinese players made the draft squad...... It's really unbelievable that the alliance actually approved his application. Hey, Wu, I think it's definitely your impact. ”

Looking at Arenas, who was waving his mobile phone and shouting excitedly beside him, Wu Di couldn't help but be surprised.

Another Chinese player in the draft?

When did running for the NBA become a common thing for Chinese players?

"Who is it? Players from Chinese mainland or ? ”

Arenas shook his head, shook his phone and said, "Well, look, it's said that he is a man from Europe, but he hasn't played in the first division yet, so I really don't know how the Dao League passed his candidacy." ”

Wu Di couldn't help but be curious, so he looked at the webpage that Arenas had called up in advance.

On May 1, 2003, it was reported that Xu Yidong, a Chinese guard studying in Europe, was determined to participate in this year's NBA draft. However, his draft prospects are not promising, as he has never played in the first division of a country. And although he was selected into the draft list by the league this time, according to the predictions of experts from all walks of life, the possibility of him being selected is almost zero. ”

The simple introduction made Wu Di a little confused, especially the last sentence "The possibility of being selected is zero", which is simply outrageous.

Feelings: This is a young man who is inspired by his deeds. He didn't play in the Division I League, he didn't play in the NCAA, he didn't come to play in the United States, but he was a Chinese player who wandered around European countries, and then appeared on the draft squad.

Wu Di thinks this is an opportunistic guy who wants to climb to the sky in one step?

Seeing that Wu Di just shook his head and didn't speak, Arenas laughed and said, "Ha Luha, there is no information about this player yet." I think you're an exception, at least you've played in the NCAA for three years, and that guy should have been stimulated by your deeds, maybe he thinks you can play in the NBA, and he can do that......"

Listening to Arenas's teasing, Wu Di couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Damn Gilbert, Wu Ke is a future superstar, don't you always compare everyone with me." I played better than you in my first season, huh. ”

Arenaston chuckled, "Well, your first season was a little bit good." However, I don't believe you'll be able to win the Most Improved Award in your second season...... Hey. ”

"Well, Gilbert, how about we make a bet?" Wu Di smiled and looked relaxed.

Arenas asked with interest, "How to bet?" ”

"If I get the Most Improved Award, I'm going to be the boss in the Wizards, and you're going to have to give me a good hand."

Wu Di flashed a sly gaze, and he said with a big smile.

Hearing this, Arenas was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Hey, Wu, I can only say that your ambition is not small." Well, I'm betting with you that I hope you'll be able to sit in that seat one day. However, if you lose, then I ask exactly the same as you...... Hey. ”

Wu Di nodded in agreement without hesitation, and with a big smile, he suddenly stretched out his big hand.

Syllable~

Black and Yellow clasped their hands together, and then the two of them laughed loudly.

After Arenas left, Wu Di took out his mobile phone and began to search for information about Xu Yidong, who dared to participate in the 03 draft.

The results of the search made Wu Di a little surprised, the Internet said that this guy was average, and some people said that they were classmates with him, and even said that they had played with him and abused him...... In short, there are very few positive evaluations of him, mostly slanderous words.

However, Wu Di feels that there are still two brushes for players who can pass the league's screening, at least the condition of draft qualification is not easy to get.

As for Wu Di's curiosity, it is mainly because this Xu Yidong dared to participate in the draft meeting of the 03 super draft year. After all, every year of the Super Draft is called a year of death, and the average player is only killing himself.

In Wu Di's opinion, this guy is either brainless or crazy.

And after thinking about it a little, Wu Di felt that this guy might have done this to be famous. After all, he is a player who has not played in the first division in Europe, and he is afraid that it will not be easy to mix in China. Therefore, gaining some popularity through the draft may be able to make his basketball career smoother, and he will have some confidence to return to China for development at that time.

Of course, it is also very likely that Wu Di's success in the NBA has caused the self-confidence of Chinese players to explode......

Unable to find specific player information, Wu Di is no longer obsessed with understanding.

If this Xu Yidong really wants to participate in the draft, then he will definitely come to the United States for a physical examination and then participate in a tryout, and then the player information about him will also appear.

Of course, if he really just wants to win eyeballs, then if he doesn't come to the United States, he is the first Chinese person to play with the entire NBA draft group.

The curiosity in his heart disappeared, and Wu Di was no longer distracted by this tidbits of the draft.

Now in Game 6 of the series with the 76ers, Allen Iverson has a serious ankle injury and he is sure to miss Game 6.

But even so, Doug Collins arranged for everyone not to be underestimated, after all, anything can happen on the playoff stage.

The game was played at 8 p.m., and the Wacovia Center Arena was like a big enemy, with countless fans holding up banners and feeling like they were enemies with the home players.

And most of these banners and fans are aimed at Wu Di, there is no one among them who does not hate Wu Di, if it is not Wu Di's goal, then they are the ones who have the advantage in the series.

Losing Iverson means a lot, and fans know in their hearts that even if they don't want to admit that the series is coming to an end, there is no doubt about the facts.

At the beginning of the game, the Wizards launched a wave of 20:5 offense to firmly grasp the initiative.

Neither of Larry Brown's changes in time worked, and the outcome of the game seemed to be on the horizon.

The home fans could not accept being suppressed by the Wizards, and they had to vent their anxiety on Wu Di, because, not only in the last game, but also in this game, Wu Di's performance also made them feel scared.

Throughout the first half, Wu Di scored 15 points, including a whopping 6-of-8 shooting, and it was precisely under his extremely efficient performance that the Wizards were able to lead by 27 points at halftime.

In the third quarter of the following quarter, Jordan went off the court to rest, and Wu Di seemed to be the protagonist on the court again.

When Wu Di hit three consecutive hits to rewrite his score to 23 points, the home fans were not happy at all, and their boos were completely aimed at Wu Di......

The 76ers players who have gone to the general trend take the initiative to defend Wu Di, and in the eyes of outsiders, those relatively large actions and savage defense are completely revengeful.

And surprisingly, Wu Di is not afraid, he still chooses to attack.

Although he scored a few more points in the following time, his shooting percentage under this kind of defense was really low.

When the lead remained outside 20 points, the series was certain to end. To be on the safe side, Doug Collins removed Wu Di......

Although he contributed 30 points on 11-of-23 shooting in the game, he was greeted by manic boos from the fans.

Because of Iverson's absence, the series ended 4-2, and the victorious Wizards were of course the protagonists of the press conference.

Doug Collins sat Jerry Starkerhouse, Jordan and Wu Di.

However, the meaning of the interview scene at this time is somewhat intriguing.

Stackhouse was answering questions in a sullen voice: "Wu is my little brother, he is a very talented scorer, and I enjoy working with him. ”

The reporters seemed a little dissatisfied with such a simple answer, and they still wanted to ask, but Jordan couldn't help but interrupt: "The series is over, I think we can talk about the next opponent." Ha Luha, this series, Jerry and Wu Di have performed very well, and it is the first time I have played such an easy series......"

As he spoke, Jordan smiled loudly and looked to the side: "Wu, Jerry, I think you have to stop a little bit, it's so big that you can pull apart, so that I can get more playing time." ”

The venue burst into laughter.

Wu Di sat quietly on the side and smiled, and his eyes couldn't help but be worried. The reporter had previously laughed and discussed the merits of the first-round Wizards in the playoffs, but because he had been discussing his performance, he had snubbed the arrogant Stackhouse, and now Stackhouse is a little unhappy......
