On June 6th, Beijing time, at the site of the national live broadcast - Madison Square Garden in New York, there were crowds of people, and countless famous names and celebrities in the sports world gathered.
They all came to watch this year's NBA draft live!
That's right, the annual NBA draft has once again opened the curtain, and a new batch of young players will be injected into the league's blood pool, which also means that the new season is not long away!
In the center of the square, league president David Stern was still repeating the old-fashioned opening remarks, and the media reporters on the scene booed from time to time, and the momentum was not small.
It has been dozens of years since David Stern presided over the draft, and in three years he will step down as the president of the league, bid farewell to the basketball league he personally supported, and officially retire.
Perhaps also because of this reason, today's David Stern has a ruddy complexion and an undiminished smile. Facing the boos of the audience, he did not lose his footing at all.
On the contrary, the popular rookies in the draft in the small green room were extremely disturbed when they saw this scene. Even the president of the league was booed, and they were afraid that when they played, they would also be booed by the audience.
You know, it's a live broadcast across the United States now, and there are more than 200 countries watching here. If there is a situation where you get booed on stage, you will really lose face and lose your home.
Li Shihao is sitting in the Minnesota Timberwolves' seating area at the moment. He is also here today. As the core of the team, he represents the Minnesota Timberwolves in this draft and selects rookies on his behalf.
Such a move diverted the audience's attention a lot. The fact that the Chinese kid can get such treatment in the second year of his career is definitely a rocket speed. However, this is also good, for the media reporters present As far as they are concerned, the approach of the Timberwolves management is more topical, but it makes them secretly happy.
A gaze passed diagonally, hot and sharp, causing Li Shihao to frown and raise his head, only to find that Derek Rose of the Chicago Bulls was staring at him at the moment, his eyes full of provocation.
When Ross saw Li Shihao raised his head, he couldn't help but grinned, revealing his white teeth, his lips squirmed slightly, and the shape of his mouth kept changing to spit out a sentence.
Li Shihao's brows frowned even more, and they almost condensed into a ball.
When he was studying psychology, he learned some lip language, and he could understand the meaning behind Derek Rose's lip language:
"I will get the MVP before you!"
Li Shihao had a thought, then smiled slightly, his eyes flashed brightly, and his mouth also changed quickly: "For me, FMVP is more suitable for me!"
After finishing speaking, Li Shihao laughed, making the Timberwolves staff around him a little confused, not knowing what happened to his core, and he giggled all by himself.
Derrick Rose in the distance can also see clearly. He understands the meaning of this sentence. Li Shihao is announcing to him that he will win the championship first. After all, FMVP is mostly awarded to the players of the final championship team .
This reminded him of Iverson. The No. 96 pick of the [-] golden generation won the regular season MVP and was the scoring champion for several times, but he was still unable to win the championship. Li Shihao's words made Derrick Rose mistake him for Li Shihao It's really ironic to myself, thinking that I will end up like Iverson in the future.
If Li Shihao knew what Derek Rose was thinking, he would definitely be a little speechless.
Derek Rose is definitely thinking too much. For Li Shihao, no one can satirize Iverson. For Li Shihao, Iverson is no less than a life mentor. After all, he taught Li Shihao on the streets of New York Li Shihao, the street boy who played, will never forget it for the rest of his life.
That is, Iverson, the unique answer!
Li Shihao turned his attention back and stared at the rookies in the small green room. This group of heaven's favorites were treasures in the eyes of the media before, but at this moment they still have to wait anxiously for the final 60 choices like elementary school students. Said it was ironic.
Li Shihao took a look and found that the rookies in the small green room could be said to be basketball geniuses who can basically make it to the first round, but they still behaved nervously, for fear that there would be mistakes in their draft.
In Li Shihao's eyes, this scene seemed to be seeing himself last year, and he was not very good last year, so the tension in his heart was unavoidable.
Now that one season has passed, the situation is quite different. He has represented the team and decided the fate of these rookies!
Thinking of this, Li Shihao sighed softly, and rubbed his thumb back and forth on the baseball cap marked with the Timberwolves logo, as if thinking about something!
…………
There were no surprises in the draft, of course, there will be no surprises, the security measures in New York's Madison Square Garden are in place!
Soon, the draft began, and the Washington Wizards, holding the No. [-] pick, announced their draft selection:
"The No. 2010 pick in the [-] NBA Draft was John Wall from the University of Kentucky, selected by the Washington Wizards..."
Even though the media unanimously agreed before the game that John Wall, the champion guard of the University of Kentucky, would be the best choice for the No. [-] pick, but when the final result was announced, the audience burst into applause and cheers.
This is another Derrick Rose-style point guard with strong strength. In the eyes of many people who are optimistic about him, the young John Wall is entirely possible to copy Derrick Rose's rise, and even surpass the latter!
Moreover, the Washington Wizards and the Chicago Bulls are both in the Eastern Conference, so there will be plenty of chances to play against each other in the future. Which of the top picks with similar playing styles is better? This topic is too high, and it is very worth looking forward to!
Many rookies in the small green room felt a little lost in their hearts. Although they knew that the number one pick would not have too much to do with themselves, as a member of the draft, who would not want to be the number one pick?
The No. [-] pick must come down, and the subsequent No. [-] prospect will be released immediately, and people have not been waiting too long.
The second place was won by Evan Turner from Ohio State University, who was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers, and Derek Favors from Georgia Tech was selected by the New Jersey Nets as the No. [-] overall pick.
In Li Shihao's impression, neither of them has a special star quality. They can kill all sides in the NCAA, but not necessarily in the NBA. Li Shihao is not very optimistic about the choice of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Nets.
However, Li Shihao was very concerned about the Timberwolves' choice this time.
In this draft, the Timberwolves hold two first-round picks. One is relatively high, at the tenth pick, is the first-round pick from the Memphis Grizzlies, and the second is the Timberwolves' own.
