After Dayao came off the field, Director Zhang immediately came forward with a microphone to interview him.

"Dayao, in the first round of the draft, the New York Hans selected you with the first pick in the first round. In this way, Dayao, you became the first "No. 1 pick" from Asia in the NBA. I would like to first express my gratitude to you.

congratulate."

"Before the draft started, Dayao, you have accepted many, many interviews from many media. You must be very tired. So let's seize the time to talk about it. Let's talk about your feelings first?" Director Zhang asked excitedly.

.

It’s no wonder Director Zhang was so excited. Guangdong Yao became the first “No. 1 pick” from Asia in the NBA. He would have to brag about this honor for at least several decades. Furthermore, he didn’t expect Yao’s traffic to be so high.

Gao, when Dayao just arrived at the draft meeting, a group of people from Wuyang Wuyang gathered around him, all going to interview Dayao. He couldn't squeeze in. He had no choice but to wait for the draft.

Dayao was interviewed as soon as possible after he was selected. Thanks to NBA President Stern's personal order, CCTV had priority to interview Dayao after he was selected.

"Although I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, I am also very excited when this moment comes. Something that I have been waiting for for a long time has finally come to you in a realistic way. I suddenly feel like, am I dreaming?"

Yao replied excitedly.

After all, he was "sponsored" by Bruce, the owner of the Han Chinese team, to come to the United States to play. If he couldn't play for him, it would be a bit regretful. Of course, Bruce has paid a lot for him in the past few years.

It is often said that there is no way to repay the kindness of knowing someone. Zhuge Liang is such an example.

"Then the Han Chinese team selected you, what do you want to say to your new club?!" Director Zhang said deliberately.

Who doesn't know that in the NBA basketball world, no matter who the Chinese are, they are all from the Blues, including Zhang himself. After all, he was one of the first to come to New York for commentary, and the New York Han Chinese are his own "home team." Now

He must be very proud to finally have his own compatriots playing for him! At this time, linking Dayao and the Han people team together is to build momentum for them.

"I'm very happy to be selected by the New York Han Chinese. As you know, I didn't know anything when I came to New York. At the beginning, I trained with these big brothers. They helped me a lot. I'm really waiting here.

I want to thank them."

"If I have anything to say to my new club, it is that I will work hard to improve myself and other abilities and try to help the team win the championship." Yao replied calmly.

There has been a lot of turnover in the Hanren team in recent years, especially for inside players. Dayao comes to the Hanren team for training every year after the game. Different players often come to train him, so if I really want to say thank you by name, then

Too long.

As for saying that I am worthy of the Han Chinese team using the No. 1 pick to select me or that I can lead the team to win the championship, I'm sorry, we Chinese are more reserved and don't like to be so arrogant. I want to change it to Kobe Ivor

A player like Sen would definitely say something like this.

"Now that you have been selected for the Han Chinese team, you will encounter different inside opponents on the court in the future. Which players impressed you the most?" Director Zhang asked curiously.

"There is no doubt that it should be Shaquille O'Neal." Dayao thought carefully and replied.

"What do you know about Shaquille O'Neal?"

"I can only say that he is a very dangerous opponent. But I will try my best to fight against him."

It's no wonder Yao is so "confident". The league's four major centers, Leo Lajuwon and Ewing, are both players who are about to retire. "Colonel" Robinson's strength has also declined seriously. Only that fat guy O'Neal

They are still at their peak, so they are more difficult to deal with. In addition, there are pure defensive centers like Mutombo, and Mourning has also gone for surgery. I don’t know if he will come back. Only those who can fight and resist can

Such a few people are nothing to be afraid of.

In addition, Bruce has made it clear to Yao early on that in the future, he and O'Neal will compete for the center position in the league, and others will not have any big problems.

And Dayao also knows what he is afraid of, that is, he is afraid of a powerful center like O'Neal. To be honest, he has no chance of beating O'Neal in the small penalty area. Unless he gains weight, but in terms of agility and shooting percentage, O'Neal will not be able to compete with him.

Of course, the premise is that there is a capable power forward to help fight O'Neal in the penalty area, then he will be confident that O'Neal will never be able to do anything to him.

"..."

"Okay, last question, Dayao, you also know that September is coming soon. Our men's basketball team will also participate in the Sydney Olympics. Some of the men's basketball team have already arrived in New York and are preparing to conduct closed training. You will definitely do the same.

If we participate, then our men's basketball team will have three NBA players, so you can estimate what results our men's basketball team can achieve in this Olympics."

Director Zhang has been staying in New York. In addition to covering the draft live, the other thing is to report on the preparations of the men's basketball team.

Dayao was stunned for a moment. Although this was Dayao's first time participating in the national team, he must be very excited, but the opponents in the men's basketball group stage were too strong. There were a lot of hard bones that needed to be chewed.

It’s hard to say what happened, so he really felt that he could barely make it out of the group.

I really don’t blame Dayao for thinking this way. Not to mention the American team. France, Italy, and Lithuania in Europe are not weak teams. Not to mention they often participate in the World Championships and Olympic Games. The strength of the players and the coaching staff are top-notch. Only New Zealand

It's easier to chew. Basically every game in the group stage is a tough battle. It's hard to compare with our men's basketball team just by the configuration. If we can win, it will definitely be the result of luck + hard work.

"Well, actually it's my first time to join the national team. I don't know the strength of the national team yet, so I won't go into details here. I can only say that I will try my best to win glory for the motherland with my teammates." Dayao scratched his head and replied.

road.

This problem is really a trap. If you don’t say it well, it will easily be criticized by domestic fans. Our national men’s basketball team is definitely a giant in Asia, but around the world, it is just a spectator.

In addition, the golden generation of the men's basketball team is also at its peak during this period and is about to pass it. For example, Hu, his statistics in the NBA have dropped too obviously in the past two years, let alone other people.
