Chapter 4: Good Day in Minnesota

The city of the University of Memphis was in a state of hysterical celebration, with countless people marching en masse in tiger shirts to celebrate their team's win to the NCAA March Madness championship.

As the champions of the championship, Ross and Luo Long were also invited to participate in many media interviews and activities, which is a kind of thing that he doesn't like too much for Rose, who is very introverted, but for Luo Long, who has always been arrogant, this is his favorite thing.

Within a week, Quan Magnesium knew about Luo Long, a freshman, and his dominant performance in the final moments of the finals made everyone exclaim him as the "fire-breathing dragon", which means a terrifying existence that destroys the world and destroys the world.

In the face of the media's exaggerated praise, Luo Long did not have any restraint and shame on his face, but accepted it calmly, and then said a sentence that countless fans remembered:

"The era of the fire dragon has come, the league will become my racetrack, everyone will surrender to my feet, I am the king of the new era of the NBA!"

This sentence made Luo Long angry.

Fanned by unscrupulous media reporters, Luo Long completely offended the white people of all magnesium and all the old school stars of the NBA.

The impression of him is polarizing.

Some American liberals thought Luo Long's speech was cool, and they welcomed Luo Long to join them.

More magnesium people, including NBA players, think that Luo Long's words are too crazy.

Subsequently, countless reports of praise or strong derogation appeared in the all-magnesium newspaper, anyway, no matter what the impression of the magnesium people of the magnesium country is of Luo Long, but at least most of the people who pay attention to basketball understand that this year's NCAA championship was taken away by a Chinese fire dragon.

From then on, Luo Long's name may not be known to many people in the magnesium country, but if you ask them who the "fire dragon" is, they must say that they know.

In this era, with Da Yao playing the prestige of Chinese basketball in the Mosaic team, it not only caused the NBA to further open the door to Chinese players, but also made Chinese fans begin to pay more attention to the existence of the NBA.

And Luo Long's performance in the NCAA was quickly discovered by Chinese reporters who studied in the United States, and then when Luo Long was still in school, many Chinese reporters interviewed Luo Long.

And Luo Long gave a very good impression to the reporters during the interview: handsome appearance, perfect body and toned muscles, as well as the confident and mysterious bad smile, and the fluency and absolute confidence in conversation.

No Chinese reporter would use the word "arrogant" to describe this Chinese hero who shined in the NCAA Finals.

However, after Luo Long's interview was broadcast in China, it was very similar to the fans of the magnesium country, and the fans who supported Luo Long called Luo Long the Yao Ming of the new era and the new hope of the Chinese men's basketball team, while the fans who were unhappy with Luo Long's arrogant personality would complain: Who gave him confidence, he felt that he was more crazy than Jordan.

However, the news revealed by Luo Long in an interview in Magnesium Country shocked the world again.

"I'm going to be in the 2008 NBA Draft this summer, and I'm sure even if I don't make it to the top pick, I'm going to be in the top three in the lottery!"

The news that the fire dragon was going to participate in the NBA draft as a freshman suddenly seemed like a drop of water dripping into hot oil, and the fans of Quan Magnesium and Huaxia were suddenly confused.

Countless insults and denials poured down on Luo Long through the media and newspapers, and no one believed that this Chinese who only had a strong hand in the finals could enter the top three of the lotto show.

Because, on the previous draft prediction list, Luo Long's performance and the results of winning the NCAA championship with the team did give him the top 20 picks in the first round, but if he wants to become the best choice for the champion like his teammate Rose, everyone thinks that this Chinese must have not woken up from his dream.

However, then, Luo Long did not reveal a trace of dissatisfaction or rebuke in the media interview, as if he didn't care about any denial and questioning, and he continued to participate in the Spurs, Lakers, and Bulls with a crazy smile...... Wait for tryout invitations from seven or eight teams.

The result also made many melon fans fall through their glasses.

After the trials, the Lakers, Green Kai, Heat and other giant teams have expressed their greed for Luo Long's talent, especially his amazing stable mid-range shot, so that they can use at least one first-round pick to get the Fire Dragon.

This undoubtedly made Luo Long's popularity in the world once again a small boost.

With the end of the tryout, the 2008 NBA Draft was held as scheduled on June 27, 2008 in the theater of Madison Square Garden in New York, USA.

The draft was broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV in the United States, and countless media reporters flocked to the scene to get first-hand information.

Guided by the staff, Luo Long wore an expensive outfit worth 560,000 US dollars and sat in a separate seat in the second row of the small green room.

The so-called "little green room" of the draft is just a convenient front-row seat for players with good draft prospects in the lottery area.

Of course, the draft players who can sit in the small green room before the draft are not ordinary people.

And Luo Long's yellow skin is like a piece of gold in a black and white TV, in the country of magnesium, where white and black people hurt each other, he is so attractive and curious.

The beginning of the draft was the opening speech of NBA commissioner Stern.

Stern didn't say a word, and the audience erupted in a neat and loud boo, followed by mass laughter.

Booing Stern has become a custom or spectacle in the NBA today.

The reason is nothing more than that in the game between the players' guild and the team owner and the league, Stern is biased towards the team owner, so the players use this action to express their dissatisfaction with him.

The so-called difficulty of being in charge, Stern can only smile tolerantly.

He is also a high-level worker who works for the team owners, and he has worked hard for the development of the NBA, bringing the shrewdness and audacity of the Jews to the extreme, so that the NBA slowly becomes more and more prosperous and prosperous in the shadow of bankruptcy.

However, the magnesium society is like this, there is no humanity and gratitude, there are only interests and demands, except that you can satisfy the more selfish desires of the magnesium people, otherwise no magnesium people will support or ignore you.

As a result, all NBA players and staff members do not have gratitude or respect for Stern, they are just a little afraid of the power in Stern's hands, and the hidden jealousy in their hearts.

This is also the most difficult place for Chinese people to understand the magnesium people.

How can the head of his own unit not respect and love him from the bottom of his heart for the rest of his life?

The relationship between superiors and subordinates in Europe and the United States is only a relationship of rights and interests, while in China, many relationships between superiors and subordinates are as close as family members.

And when the draft officially began, as the original course of history, the Bulls signed Rollon's teammate Derrick Rose, the youngest MVP player in the history of the league in the future.

Ross and his three underworld brothers wept with joy, while Rose's mother hugged Rose, her heart full of excitement for the happiness of this moment and the release of years of depression in her heart.

Rose was unfortunate because he grew up in poverty at a young age, and his mother struggled with her four children until they saw that black people playing in the NBA were making a lot of money.

This is also the reason why many black people often play and dream of entering the NBA.

However, the slum where their family is located is very unsafe, and the gang is also rampant, in order to improve the economic situation of the whole family, especially after Rose began to show amazing basketball talent, his three lovely brothers joined the local gang with a resolute attitude, and the three began to use the power of the gang to protect the basketball dream of the cute brother.

And as Rose got older, he quickly became the star player at school.

At this time, the slightly frivolous and arrogant Rose immediately received the training of his three older brothers who were cold-blooded to the point of cruelty, and the extremely harsh training requirements provided Rose with the capital to become a popular player that every team coach liked in the future.

Yes, this is life, the teacher who beat you and pinched you when you were a student is your real benefactor.

When a person is in awe and can play unconditionally with awe and behave, what you will gain will not be despised, but the heartfelt love and respect of the whole coaching staff and players for Rose.

He cries you for a while, but when he makes you understand the awe, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life, and you dare not have the slightest unruly words and deeds, where will this kind of person be unpopular?

And at this moment, Derrick Rose's eyes were moist, and he and his three brothers hugged each other warmly.

Then the second pick in the draft is still the University of Kansas power forward Michael Beasley, which is not very powerful, and he will go to the Chinese CBA in the future, and the draft position of the list can be described as a bit watery. If the Heat knew that they used the second pick in the first round to pick such a rotating lineup, it is estimated that they would have chosen other players if they were killed.

And then, when the host read Luo Long's name, the anxious emotion in Luo Long's eyes disappeared.

suddenly stood up and pulled up the sexy beauty who came with him, and there was a warm kiss on the scene, which caused more intense applause and laughter from the magnesium people at the scene.

There is no way, the people of the magnesium country are a rebellious teenager in their bones, and the more they want to degenerate behavior, the more the people of the magnesium country will applaud and approve.

Afterwards, Luo Long put on a hat printed with the Wolves logo and walked on the stage.

"Welcome, fire dragon. Good luck getting off to a good start and hopefully you can adapt to the NBA game. "Stern still has a very good attitude towards Luo Long, a young Chinese man, and for Stern who wants to further develop the Chinese market, he is looking forward to Luo Long's better performance.

However, Luo Long's words still made Stern a little embarrassed.

"No, President, you're wrong. I'm not here to adapt to the NBA, but everyone in the league has to be mentally prepared to adapt to me. The dragon is coming, and you will all bow and tremble at my feet! ”

Countless people in the audience whistled, and many reporters recorded Luo Long's arrogant words with excited eyes. Reporters really like Luo Long, a Chinese man who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he can always provide them with gimmicks and explosive points for writing manuscripts.

The next link didn't mean much to Luo Long.

After another hour or so, the whole draft officially came to an end.

Subsequently, Luo Long hired Uncle Han, a housekeeper who had taken care of him since he was a child, to become his agent and take care of everything for him after he joined the team.

This Uncle Han is not an ordinary person, not only is he born in special forces, he is not a good person, but he is proficient in many foreign languages, and has a high level of education, so he is simply too competent to deal with the matter of a star agent.

Just when the whole Timberwolves team was looking forward to the new atmosphere that the fire dragon would bring to the team after coming to the team, Uncle Han came to the team alone to inform the team of a news that made them dissatisfied: because of something, our young master did not participate in all training and preseason games before the start of the regular season.

I don't know what magic Uncle Han cast, two hours later, all the uniform teams of the Wolves unanimously acquiesced in Luo Long's violation of the team's rules, and their explanation was to give Huolong an understanding and tolerance for newcomers.

In fact, there is nothing strange about it, the energy of the Luo family, a family of invisible rich people in China, is still not to be underestimated in the magnesium country, just a small team, Uncle Han only talked to Wolves owner Glenn Taylor for five minutes, and everything that followed became a trivial matter under Taylor's instructions.

Do you feel wonderful when you have all the power of evil?
