After Wayne was drafted, highlights of his college days were shown on the television.

Then, a draft scoring chart was given.

Every year during the draft, the NBA draft website divides the attributes of rookie players into 12 major items, scores each item out of 10 points, and finally calculates an ability value like a game.

On the score sheet, Wayne scored 7 points in the athletic ability column. Because Wayne did not participate in the joint trials, the scouts did not have his detailed physical test data, so they could only infer based on his performance in college.

In the body type column, Wayne received a perfect score of 9 points. His wingspan is impeccable, but unfortunately his height is "only" 2.06 meters.

Defending for 8 points was mainly because I was worried that Wayne wouldn't be able to resist others, otherwise 9 points would be no problem.

Physical fitness is 9 points. Wayne's performance at the end of the game tends to get better and better, so it is assumed that physical fitness has less impact on Wayne.

Flexibility gave Wayne 9 points, and jump shooting gave Wayne 10 points.

In the combat strength column, Wayne only scored 7 points, probably because he was too thin.

In the potential column, Wayne only scored 7 points.

This is what the scouts believe. Wayne has immediate fighting ability and potential, but he is not top-notch.

For some other projects, the scores also varied between high and low.

In the end, Wayne's overall ability rating was 95, which can be considered a five-star rookie, worthy of lottery ranking.

Finally, Wayne's template was displayed under the big screen: King Silver Horn.

Well, when Dirk first entered the league, he was indeed thin, tall, and played more like a small forward.

Later, my weight gradually increased, and I started fighting in the low position.

Many Chinese fans looked at it and thought, oh, that's incredible, China is going to have a veteran driver.

Although Dirk will not yet have a ring or MVP by then, and his historical status has not yet risen, he will still be an All-Star.

Countless fans saw that Wayne's model was an All-Star player, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "Brother Wei!"

But old fans all know that the template given during the draft is just for fun.

How well Wayne can be successful depends on him.

Wayne's suspenseful series, which has been running in China for more than half a year, has finally come to its finale.

On the stage, Wayne and Stern shook hands and hurriedly left.

I'm so embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed. Now I'm really embarrassed.

Nima wearing a red suit and wearing a cuckold, this scene was broadcast all over China...

Wei Ge's handsome image was completely ruined.

Director Zhang and the CCTV team immediately ran to the press area to wait for Wayne. When they saw Director Zhang approaching with a smile, Wayne waved his hand to him, indicating that he should not start the interview yet.

"Ah? What's going on?" Director Zhang was also confused. Fans all over China are waiting now.

"There seems to be a deal, just wait until I change my hat and go on camera again..."

"This... deal?"

It’s not uncommon for rookie players to be traded as soon as they are drafted. Coach Zhang’s favorite is Kobe.

But he really didn't expect this to happen to Wayne.

At this moment, the latest transaction information was displayed on the big screen.

The Indiana Pacers exchanged Al Harrington + Jamal Tinsley + the 29th pick of the first round from the Seattle SuperSonics for Ukrainian center Vitaliy Potapenko + the 2005 first round pick.

and Wayne!

Wayne looked at the big screen and was a little surprised.

Although he knew it was the Pacers, he never expected that the deal actually involved three other players and two draft picks.

This is a truly big deal.

Of course, although there are many people involved, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Potapenko, nicknamed "Ukrainian Train", is just an addition to the balance.

Many people may not know it, but he was also a member of the 1996 golden generation, and he was just one pick ahead of Kobe, and was the No. 12 rookie at the time.

Well, same as Wayne today.

Potapenko performed reasonably well in the 1998-99 season, so he renewed his contract with the Celtics in advance and won an expensive contract.

Then, there is no more.

A typical contract is one year in which you work hard, and you stop working after you get the money.

Last season in Seattle, Potapenko had the third-highest salary on the team, second only to Ray Allen and Lewis, but averaged only 7.1 points and 4.4 rebounds per game.

The transaction value can be said to be negative.

If it weren't for the purpose of balancing the contract, Bird would not have wanted such a man who only took money but did nothing.

Therefore, this deal can actually be seen as Harrington + Tinsley + draft picks for Wayne + draft picks.

Rounding things off a bit, the main subjects of the transaction are Harrington and Wayne!

The Seattleites got two immediate hits as they wished, replacing Porter Pankow with two more capable players.

And they can use the remaining draft picks to continue to draft point guards.

What the Pacers got was basically Wayne, and Porter Panko had no practical effect. As for next year's Seattle draft pick, only God knows whether it is worth it.

Bird did shed his blood for Wayne.

"So, did Seattle choose you for the Pacers?" Director Zhang was stunned for a few seconds before he roughly understood the matter.

"Well, it can be said that I have never tried out with the Sonics before." Wayne shrugged.

"Well done to the Pacers, they are a championship team!"

"It's good or bad. Weak teams have more opportunities. Championship teams will probably have to start from the bench. Moreover, the requirements are probably higher." Wayne nodded. He had already thought about these pros and cons.

But there is one thing to say, since Bird has spent so much effort on himself, he can't possibly let himself guard the water fountain, right?

During this period, Pacers coach Carlisle was still a bit stubborn and liked to use old players and did not favor rookies.

But Bird and Carlisle have a good relationship, and Carlisle is definitely willing to listen to Big Bird.

What Wayne has to do is to get the opportunity with Big Bird's "pass" and then seize the opportunity to win Carlisle's trust.

If you play as the sixth man, you can avoid the opponent's strongest offensive player, and you can also fire unlimitedly during the rotation. Kill two birds with one stone, which is pretty good when you think about it.

And whether it's in the East or in the West, it's KG and he's stupid... Wayne is really afraid that he will be beaten and announce his retirement.

At this time, a staff member ran to Wayne and handed him a Pacers maize hat.

Wayne quickly took off the eye-catching baseball cap on his head. He had long been unhappy with the hat!

After putting on the Pacers hat, Wayne smiled again: "Now, we can start the interview, Director Zhang."

At this time, I don’t know how many businesses in Seattle were crying and how many businesses in Indiana were cheering.

With the huge Chinese market involved, are you still worried about unsalable corn?

Well, no one will care that Steve Patterson, who is the 18th generation of Bird's ancestor, is cursing in the box.

He was actually intercepted in the previous position, and Patterson now wanted to strangle Bird's neck.

Although there were twists and turns, in any case, as the first Chinese player to enter the Little Green Room to participate in the draft, Wayne's draft night was relatively successful.

After this, the draft continued.

The Trail Blazers, who were "robbed" by the Pacers, could only use the 13th pick to select high school point guard Telfair, who was as famous as Mousse.

Wayne ultimately did not break their fate.

With the 15th pick, the Celtics still took Al Jefferson, and their plan to pick up Wayne failed.

With the 24th pick, Wayne's teacher Tony was also selected by Green Kai.

At this time, Tony, who was at home, kept muttering: "A millionaire, a millionaire."

Tony's pick is one spot higher than the previous one in history, probably because Tony is now one of the NCAA champions.

With the last pick of the first round, Seattle took the Pacers' pick and selected point guard Lionel Chalmers.

This means that Wayne's "old friend" David Harrison will completely miss the first round.

Ha Seung-jin, who was previously touted by the Korean media, was not selected by the Trail Blazers until the 17th pick in the second round.

How fierce the bragging was before the game, how embarrassing it is now.

Finally, all the rookies present gathered together and took a photo with David Stern standing in the middle.

Without red and green, Wayne's smile is much brighter.

The 04 generation officially debuts!

Rasheed Wallace was not too happy to see Wayne being drafted by the Pacers.

The Pacers and Pistons are mortal enemies, and he and Wayne have a personal grudge, and Wayne happens to have joined the rival's lineup.

Now it's better, you can go to death without any scruples!
