"In the 2003 draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected LeBron James with the first pick from St. Vincent and St. Mary's High School."

Stern opened the first envelope and read slowly.

Under the guidance of the staff, James put on the Cavaliers hat, stepped onto the podium, and shook hands and hugged Stern.

Then he stepped down to be interviewed by the host.

Facing the hostess's questions, the battle-hardened James talked and laughed.

"The Detroit Pistons selected Darko Milicic with the second pick, from Serbia."

Oh NO!

Li Lei exclaimed in the audience, the original blessing was not successful, and those guys who didn't pass the ball to themselves were not favored by the Pistons.

Instead, Milicic, who had a comradeship with him, was drafted by the Pistons.

Li Lei can only wish Milicic good luck.

"The Denver Nuggets, with the third pick, selected Carmelo Anthony."

"The Toronto Raptors, with the fourth pick, selected Chris Bosh."

"The Miami Heat, with the fifth pick, selected Dwyane Wade."

"The Los Angeles Clippers, with the sixth pick, selected Chris Carman."

"The Chicago Bulls, with the seventh pick, selected Kirk Hinrich."

"The Milwaukee Bucks, with the eighth pick, chose TJ Ford."

……

"The Atlanta Hawks, with the 21st pick, chose Boris Dior."

……

"The Memphis Grizzlies, with the 27th pick, selected Kendrick Perkins."

He was then traded to the Celtics.

"The San Antonio Spurs, with the 28th pick, selected Leandro Barbossa."

He was then traded to the Phoenix Suns.

"The Dallas Mavericks, with the 29th pick, selected Josh Howard."

At this point, the first round is over.

David Stern also stepped down to rest.

The second round was presided over by Stern's assistant Adam Shaw.

Seeing this bald man in a suit with a bald head and glasses on stage, Li Lei became inexplicably nervous.

Su Qun patted Li Lei on the shoulder: "Stone, relax, it's no problem." ”

Li Lei smiled: "Brother Su, your hands are shaking." ”

Su Qun: "......"

Subsequently, Xiao Hua opened the first envelope of the second round.

"In the 2003 draft, the New York Knicks were the first pick in the second round and selected Madge Lampe, from Real Madrid."

Hush!

The New York fans at the scene booed wildly, expressing their dissatisfaction.

What did the home team choose? I've never heard of it.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, with the second pick in the second round, selected Jason Cappano."

……

"The Miami Heat, with the third pick in the second round, selected Jerome Beasley."

……

As one team made a choice after another, approaching the No. 15 pick of the Rockets, Li Lei's family and Su Qun's breathing became heavier and heavier.

"The Orlando Magic, with the 13th pick in the second round, selected Zaza Pachuria."

"The Milwaukee Bucks, with the 14th pick in the second round, chose Keith Bogans."

After reading it, Xiao Hua loudly announced: "The No. 15 pick belongs to the Houston Mosaics, and they have 5 minutes to make a decision. ”

Subsequently, Ya stepped down.

Li Lei gradually clenched his fists, his heart beating violently, and it seemed that he was about to jump out at any time.

In a short 5 minutes, Li Lei felt that three days and three nights had passed.

Xiao Hua walked up with a new envelope.

Tearing open the envelope and taking out the card, Xiao Hua read aloud: "In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Houston Mosaic team chose Li Lei with the fifteenth pick in the second round, from China!" ”

Li Lei is from China.

The fifteenth pick in the second round, the overall No. 44 pick.

Hearing these words, Su Qun couldn't help but jump up and shouted, "Yes." ”

"Son, there you have!"

Li's father and Li's mother hugged Li Lei left and right, congratulating their son.

As a parent, it is natural to know the dream of the son.

The parents are also relieved that their son can realize his dream.

In the media area, Zhang Weiping, who was talking and laughing in front of the camera, seemed to be relieved, and said to the camera: "Hahaha, it's finally there." Another Chinese player has reached the top basketball level in the world, and Li Lei will play alongside Yao Ming next season. Let's get ready and interview Li Lei. ”

At this moment, Li Lei himself is extraordinarily calm, perhaps because he is too nervous and will not smile.

The Mosaic team staff sent the hats.

Li Lei put on his hat and stepped onto the rostrum.

"Welcome, young man!"

Xiao Hua made a task-style handshake and greeting, the palm of his hand was parted with a touch, and then he hugged quickly.

Subsequently, Li Lei stepped down from the rostrum and accepted questions from the hostess.

The process is also very fast, unlike James, who will talk for a while, just interact with it in a very formal way.

"Hi Lee. How are you feeling about entering the NBA? ”

Li Lei: "I'm very excited, I'm very happy!" ”

Official clichés, just open your mouth and come.

"You're going to play for Mosaic for the next couple of years, do you know the team?"

"Of course!"

It's time to blow the home team, so what are you waiting for?

Li Lei is like a few treasures: "Boss Alexander is an atmospheric, kind boss, and he even gave Dawson an indefinite contract.

General Manager Dawson has been working for the Mosaic team for decades, from assistant coach to coach to general manager, he has dedicated his life to the Mosaic team, and I have never met a more dedicated man than him.

Coach Jeff comes from a basketball family and has a lot of experience, and I can learn a lot from him.

Francis, Mobley and Yao Ming are all very good players and I will learn from them with an open mind. ”

Li Lei grasped the measure.

Blow, but not overblow.

After these processes are completed, Li Lei can enter the media area for an interview.

In the media area, the first round of the show is still there.

James, Milicic, Anthony, these high-pick rookies are surrounded by people, several layers inside and out, and there are reporters desperately squeezing inside.

The lotto show is also okay, and there will be a few people around.

Out of the lotto, it is relatively deserted, and the league will arrange interviews with cooperative media to avoid too embarrassing rookies who are not cared for.

But that's just a formality.

As for the second round, the treatment is even worse.

The second-round rookie generally answers a few questions and leaves, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to look at the champions, lists, and stars not far away.

While the stars hold the moon, no one cares, reality.

When Li Lei came to the media area, Zhang Weiping, Su Qun and others were already waiting, so that Li Lei would not be ignored and embarrassed.

Li Lei is down-to-earth, and he can't say why, he just thinks it's good.

With the motherland as the backing, don't be afraid!

"Great! Stone, you made it! ”

Su Qun was still quite excited and gave Li Lei a big hug.

It's just that he is just 176cm, and holding Li Lei is like a child pestering his parents, which is somewhat funny.

Zhang Weiping, who is over half a hundred years old, is much more sophisticated, but he also has an old chrysanthemum on his face.
