June 14 is undoubtedly a highly anticipated day for fans in the United States and the Dragon Kingdom.

It's daylight saving time, 8 o'clock in the evening of American time, not only TNT and other American TV stations, but also CCTV on the side of the dragon country has broadcast the entire draft process live for the first time, it is summer time, the time difference is about 14 hours, 8 o'clock in the evening of American time, and it is early 10 o'clock in the morning in Yanjing, but it is Saturday, but it is the opportunity for many dragon fans to stay in front of the TV.

Last year's NBA draft was Yao Ming, and this year's ......

Frankly speaking, Lin Dong's name is still slightly inferior in terms of breadth compared to Da Yao in the Dragon Kingdom.

But if you want to talk about young avid fans, it is definitely more than that.

After all, he has one advantage that Da Yao can never compare to - handsome and stylish!

is simple on the surface, but the lethality to young people is great...... In Stern's words, it's a superstar!

Countless basketball fans in the Dragons waited in front of the TV in the wee hours of the morning, nervously watching the NBA draft they had never seen before.

The picture of the children wearing suits and leather shoes under the draft stage brought a lot of shock to the dragon people of this era, the same seventeen or eighteen years old, but the gap between the Yankees and the dragon people looks really big......

Everyone is waiting anxiously, and Director Sun, who is in charge of the commentary, is constantly ridiculing the atmosphere relaxedly, Supersonic will use the champion to sign Lin Dong, which CCTV has known for a long time, and no matter what aspect it looks at, this matter seems to be a certainty, which also makes Director Sun's rigorous commentary can't help but dare to take the initiative to predict.

And it wasn't until the draft began, when Schultz, who walked up to the stage, handed over the draft sheet, and the host read out the name on the spot......

"First pick, Seattle SuperSonics, Lin Dong!"

"Yay!"

"Long live Lin Dong!"

"Pride of the Dragon Kingdom!"

The fans of the Dragon Kingdom are excited and boiling, the highest basketball hall in the world, the NBA with countless strongmen, and the champions of the two consecutive drafts are all Dragon Country people!

And at the scene, it is obvious that Lin Dong is not alone.

The mother who came from Texas, the father who flew from Japan, and the two old enemies who haven't seen each other for almost seven or eight years, are playing the role of husband and wife in the audience at this time.

"Your hands, haven't you eaten? Hold it tight! The old lady has a thorn in her waist? ”

Yang Dong saw that the camera was pointing at them, and frowned to remind Lao Lin.

If the outside world in the United States knows that his parents are divorced and his mother is a rich single woman, then after his son becomes famous, all kinds of topics will be made up by those unscrupulous paparazzi.

Now that the company has the capital to survive for the time being, it is still troublesome, how can she think about men? Besides, after so many years, I have survived like this, and I have long been not interested in men.

But...... I really enjoy the feeling of commanding in front of Lao Lin, just like when she didn't have a job and didn't make money, Lao Lin always liked to dress up as a knowledgeable person in front of her.

I have the ability to support my family, and I should be the boss at home, I bah! This evil old social thought!

Now, who is more capable?

"Hey!" Lao Lin hurriedly responded, and then hugged his wife's waist tightly - his ex-wife's waist, and then took advantage of this sudden good luck, he couldn't help but praise and said, "Why is the waist so thin?" Didn't you lack exercise? ”

Yang Dong gave him a cold look: "Do you also talk to girls like this in Japan?" ”

Lao Lin was suddenly taken aback: "How dare I? ”

"Why don't you dare? When I said that my mother couldn't make money when I went out to work, I had to force my mother to give you a husband and children, you were very bold! ”

Lao Lin originally wanted to praise his wife for a few words, after all, women like to brag, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would be burned.

shook his head again and again, and then quickly kept smiling in front of the camera, this time he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.

Obviously, the conversation between the two enemies in the audience could not be captured by the camera.

What the camera captured was a loving couple, a perfect family, and only such a family could educate such a perfect son.

Lin Dong is wearing a blue and white porcelain Tang suit, with a height of two meters and well-proportioned muscles, and he looks heroic and tall in this tight-fitting Tang costume that shows off his figure.

He walked up to the stage to accept Schulz's offer of employment, a rookie contract with a maximum salary, and the SuperSonics' No. 23 jersey.

The choice of this number is a choice that the SuperSonics and Bob Myers and even Stern are particularly concerned about.

Benchmarking Jordan and calling Jordan, this is what supersonic expects from Lin Dong!

Both American fans and Dragon Country fans have responded with fierce expectations and applause.

For the NBA, the most special jersey number, for the NBA, the second non-American draft champion, the most lights this night, undoubtedly belongs to Lin Dong.

…………

The list is from the Phoenix Suns.

Frankly speaking, in all the evaluations of this rookie in the American media today, Dwyane Wade, who has fought with Lin Dong for two rounds at the World Championships and did not fall behind, is undoubtedly the most valuable player in this rookie besides Lin Dong.

But the Phoenix Suns already have Marbury in his prime, and Penny Hardaway, who is still at the end of his prime, and this season's swing is also based on the fact that the two have missed almost half of the season.

The Suns don't have a shortage of guards, they lack a good center.

Leaderboard Sign, Phoenix Suns, Chris Bosh, No. 9 jersey!

The third-pick pick belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Thanks to the SuperSonics for Lin Dong and the Suns without guards, the Cavaliers used a third-pick pick to win Dwyane Wade, who is known as the best American player of the year.

Since it is to benchmark against Lin Dong, and is known as the only newcomer who can compete with Lin Dong this year, the Cavaliers also gave Wade the same jersey number.

Scouting, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dwyane Wade, No. 23 jersey!

The next pick went to the Nuggets, who picked the same hot pick.

Fourth pick, Denver Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony, No. 15 jersey.

………………

Lin Dong watched the selection of each team with great interest in the audience.

History, while revisable, also seems to have a rather peculiar continuity and self-healing character.

Except for the huge change in the top three picks due to his arrival, the other stars seem to be back on the right track of history.

T.J. Ford went to the Bucks, still wearing his No. 11 jersey; Dacomi Risic was drafted by the Pistons with the fifth pick, while Carman at the World Championships went to the Clippers and Petrus went to the Golden State Warriors......

And another difference in history is that Jay Williams, who was supposed to be the star of the 02 list, chose to return to Duke University to play after losing to him at the Nike Summit and suffered a ligament strain, perhaps because the injury kept his competitive state average, or maybe he felt that this year's rookies were too perverted...... In short, he did not submit a draft application to the league.

Schulz was a little worried, a little worried that Iguodala would be picked out in advance, and that guy did a good job in the tryout, and there was plenty of talent to tap.

Fortunately, there are too many good seedlings this year, and the teams with the lotto number can't take care of that guy, and they finally waited until the 17th pick.

- 17th pick, Seattle SuperSonics, Iguodala, No. 9 jersey!

The young Iguodala happily stepped forward to accept the letter of appointment and jersey number handed by Schulz, and he was also very satisfied with the supersonic to be on the same team as the Asian Jordan who is now in the middle of the United States, and there is a famous name like Payton on the team.

The dust settled, which made Schulz breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately began to worry about Sakuragi Hanamichi again.

This guy has been training with the team for a year, and his progress rate can be called godfast, if it weren't for the fact that he deliberately 'messed up' in the trial before the draft, frankly speaking, whether it is Schulz or Payton, they all think that this red-haired boy from Japan is the most valuable player in addition to Lin Dong, this guy's defense is too amazing, his rebounding ability is first-class, and there is no shortage of physical fitness, will, etc., and more importantly, he listens to Lin Dong and is willing to be a green leaf for Lin Dong, the two are very compatible! This alone is worth spending a lot of money on Schulz, who wants to build a team around Lin Dong!

Putting him in the second round, but just to maximize the benefits for the team, if other teams really take the lead in signing this guy, Schulz made up his mind that he had to sell blood before he could play.

And under the stands, Sakuragi Hanamichi was sitting next to Lao Lin next to Lin Dong, at this time he was nervously rubbing his hands, not worried that no one wanted it, but worried about being selected by other teams, he wanted to stay in the supersonics, there are master brothers, there are also his teacher Peyton, and even the boss Schulz is very good to him!

He loved the place.

Sitting on his left hand side was Rukawa Kaede, who was even more nervous than him, sitting up straight, his eyes fixed on the mouth of the host on the stage.

Behind the two sat Coach Anzai, who was also nervous, and another guy who had just come from Japan and was also very familiar to them.

"Hey! Don't be nervous, man! Stephen triumphantly poked his head out behind the two and patted the two little ones on the shoulders to cheer them up: "Relax, this is all a small scene!" ”

Stephen had just returned the other day.

Under Lin Dong's intentional or unintentional mentions, as well as the confirmation of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, SuperSonics also knew that there was such a very talented trainer in distant Japan.

So Schultz hired the guy back from Japan with a contract of $180,000 a year, and the interview process was very satisfying, and now he is the personal trainer for Lin Dong, Sakuragi Hanamichi and the new Iguodala.

"You said it lightly, you can choose one to try......" Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede subconsciously replied to him in unison.

"Hey, it's like I don't dare to choose!" Stephen said vividly: "As long as they dare to ...... in the NBA"

"6th pick in the second round, supersonic, Sakuragi Hanamichi, No. 10 jersey!"

The chatter of the three suddenly stopped.

The number 10 jersey is obviously a pretty special number for both the SuperSonics and the Sakuragi Hanamichi......

For Hanamichi Sakuragi, it was the beginning of his basketball and his first jersey number.

For the SuperSonics, this is a retired jersey number, which originally belonged to the current head coach of the SuperSonics, Nate McMillan!
