Chapter 1: Direct access to the draft scene
"The first pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected John Wall, from the University of Kentucky..."
As NBA Commissioner David Stern's voice got louder and louder, cheers gradually filled the Madison Square Garden!
On the giant screen in the center of the ceiling, Brother Qiang, who was wearing a gray suit with a cheerful expression on his face, walked towards the stage and waved to the crowded audience in the stadium.
In contrast to the fierce cheers from the audience, there was a dead silence among the players in the Little Green Room.
Every player was praying silently, and the next name Stern read was his own.
Wu Di loosened his tie. This was the third year of his rebirth. With 99% of his efforts and 1% of his system, he successfully grabbed a bench in the Little Green Room.
Suddenly, the agent beside him, Jeff Schwartz, patted his leg.
Wu Di frowned and looked at the BlackBerry in his hand. It was a text message with only one word: Sorry!
The key is that the sender - Gar Forman, general manager of the Chicago Bulls...
Jeff Schwartz quickly typed a sentence on his BlackBerry keyboard: Don't worry, the Bulls' No. 17 pick is guaranteed, our focus is the Clippers' No. 8 pick [smiley face]
Wu Di understood Schwartz's good intentions, but he still couldn't help but feel heartache. That was an opportunity to hold hands with the Rose of Windy City. Foreman was really blind!
However, in the team lounge at this moment, Elgin Baylor, the general manager of the Clippers, who is nicknamed the Millennium Old Man, looked at Wu Di's scouting report with a tangled look on his face:
"Name: Wu Di;
University: Ohio State University;
Honors: Naismith Award; NBC All-American;
Freshman statistics: 24.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals per game;
Age: 18 years old;
Height: 1.96 meters;
Weight: 101kg;
Wingspan: 2.11 meters;
Palm: 24.8 cm;
Sole of foot: 32 cm;
Strength: 84kg bench press 15 times; maximum bench press 150kg;
Bounce: 71 cm on the spot, 89 cm on approach, 3.61 meters on approach;
100-meter dash: 11.53 seconds
Draft template: Charles Barkley\Ron Artest;
Position: Swingman;
Advantages: Wu Di has excellent strength. His physical talent is the best among players of his age. He can score in any way, including outside shooting, post-up singles, and breakthrough layups. He is also a very good player.
Rebounders and defenders.
Disadvantages: Lack of passing ability, weak offensive ability with the ball, scoring depends on the exquisite passing of the point guard. His physical fitness is very outstanding in the NCAA. After entering the NBA, he is only above average, and his height is only 1.96 meters.
, his original elite-level rebounding ability needs to be re-verified."
How much Baylor likes to pick players with such explosive physical fitness, you can see it just by looking at the Clippers' lineup, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, Mo Williams...
Especially Mo Williams, although he is a point guard and has a reputation as a guard, he is unreasonable and is still firmly in the starting position of the Clippers.
But, Asian muscular men?
The racial talents do not match!
Just last season, Yao Ming, who was in his prime, suffered a season-ending injury, and an unconfirmed rumor spread throughout the major teams.
That was the injury caused by Yao Ming's weight gain.
Baylor is a black man, but having the color of a minority does not mean that he has no racial prejudice.
"Is a yellow man worthy of wearing muscle armor... Otherwise, should we choose that boy Aminu? But Aminu's statistics are much worse than Wu..."
Lord Beile murmured that at this last moment, his old habit of obsessive-compulsive disorder recurred.
This is the first decision of the new season. He is quite old and does not want to be humiliated by the team owner, Donald Sterling, that white-skinned pig again.
However, what David Stern said next instantly made him depressed:
"In the 2010 NBA Draft, with the third pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected China's Wu Di, who came from Ohio State University..."
Baylor is a little confused, because according to various draft predictions, Wu Di has never been in the top five...
It's up to him to choose or not, but if someone else forces him to choose, that's another matter!
"Damn it, did that old boy Riley get hairspray in his head?"
Pat Riley, who is known as the magic fortune teller, cut off Hu. Baylor was instantly unhappy to the extreme.
Especially when you think about the fact that he led the Lakers to the Finals eight times and was the runner-up eight times, and this old boy won the championship in his first year with the Lakers.
Moreover, this old boy actually won the championship in his first year coaching the Lakers. He was born just to slap himself in the face!
Thinking of this, Master Baylor almost cursed.
He frowned and looked at the big screen. When he saw Wu Di's face, which was as good as the average appearance of a starting point reader, he couldn't help cursing anymore:
"What the hell, he's so handsome, and that old boy Riley is taking advantage again!"
Logically speaking, appearance should not be taken into consideration in the draft, but if the appearance is particularly outstanding, then of course it is a different matter.
After all, the NBA is a business league. If the players are really handsome, even if they are managing the water dispenser, they will be given more cameras.
As a guest of Hollywood and a lifelong friend of Giorgio Armani, Pat Riley knows this truth well.
Therefore, after he saw Wu Di's handsome face that looked like Keanu Reeves in the NCAA game video, he immediately made a decision.
What's more, this is a player from China, and his commercial value goes without saying.
Feeling the envious and jealous gaze of Lord Baylor behind him, Pat Riley twisted the corner of his mouth and instantly transformed into the crooked-mouthed Old Dragon King.
On the stage, Wu Di put on the Heat's Little Red Riding Hood and took a photo with Stern, who was smiling like a flower.
However, Wu Di, who became the most beautiful man in the world, was a little bit mushroomy at this moment...
The practice lasted two and a half years!
Just because it’s half a year longer than two years!
In exchange for the 2010 NBA No. 3 pick!
He had read through all the draft predictions with his agent before, and the highest they had was the Clippers' eighth pick. Who would have thought that Pat Riley chose him with the third pick without even saying hello!
The third overall pick is No. 3 overall pick. There is no doubt that the name No. 3 overall pick is destined to be extraordinary at this position.
Jordan, Chamberlain, Grant Hill, Bob Cousy, James Harden, Carmelo Anthony and many other superstars all debuted as No. 1 picks.
Now, it's his turn.
In China, the NBA live broadcast room was also abuzz at this moment:
"Reasonable!"
“Very reasonable!”
"That's the choice!"
Zhang - Reasonable - Guidance - Weiping shouted repeatedly in the live broadcast room!
Xu Jicheng: "Don't blame our coach Zhang for being so excited. This is the first time that our Chinese outside players have such a high pick in the NBA!"
Yang Yi: "Haha!"
Xu Jicheng: "It is not surprising that Wu Di has such statistics in the NCAA and is ranked among the top three picks. His college teammate Evan Turner is in a similar situation to him. He is the second pick this time. The two Ohio State twin stars reunite in the NBA.
!”
Zhang Weiping: "This season, the Heat have Wade and Super Mario Chalmers, but they lack 3D players like Wu Di, so the Heat's choice of Wu Di couldn't be more reasonable!"
Yang Yi: "In fact, the NBA draft mainly looks at physical talent. It doesn't matter if you play well in the college league. You have to adapt to the physical confrontation in the NBA. Otherwise, it is impossible to realize your potential. Wu Di's physical fitness showed in the physical test this time.
His talent will definitely compete with us yellow people! If you look at his draft template, Barkley, the only one in his generation, and Artest, the only one in his generation, are all players with top physical talents..."
…
From the court to off the court, Wu Di was instantly surrounded by a group of sports reporters, who asked about his feelings:
"Congratulations! Wu, can you share with us how you feel now?"
Questions about future plans:
"Mr. Tanhualang, how will you help the Heat?"
"Rising star, how do you plan to transfer the talent from the NCAA to the NBA?"
To help fans ask questions:
"Handsome guy, is there anything you want to say to your fans?"
"Wu Di, can you say a few words to the hometown fans in front of the TV?"
…
Wu Di answered them one by one with a smile. Before the draft, he prepared a mock interview with his agent Jeff Schwartz.
Therefore, let alone these questions, he can answer them fluently even when asked about birth date and horoscope.
"You are from Ohio State University and you are half-Ohio. What do you think of the recent rumors that LeBron James is in contact with the Heat management?"
Wu Di looked at the beautiful Fox reporter who asked this question and thought, why don't you ask your birth date?
Jimei, this question of yours is a bit misleading!
If he answers that he welcomes James to join, he will betray the people of Ohio. If he answers that if James wants to become the true number one player in the league, he must first win a championship with the Cavaliers, then he will offend the new owner, the Heat...
Where is Lao Zhan going? Does every Ohioan have an obligation to comment?
Then why don't you ask the Golden State Slam Dunk King? Maybe these two were both born in the same delivery room.
Wu Di coughed lightly and changed the topic:
"I don't know what Moose thinks, but Flash Dwyane Wade is my idol, so I dream of playing with the Flash. I'm very grateful to Mr. Riley for allowing me to join the Heat!"
As he spoke, he also shouted into the camera:
"Flash, here I come!"
