I'm Really Playing Basketball
/ I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 85
New York.
This is the first time Chen Xiao grew up to this place, which is the same legend for him and many Chinese people.
Why is New York a legendary place to Chen Xiao and to many Chinese people?
Because this is a 'Holy Land'!
Of course not because this is a holy land of basketball.
But because, this is a 'Holy Land of Money' for drunken fans!
In the eyes of Chen Xiao and many Chinese people, New York is a place where everything is like heaven.
Including Chen Xiao, in this era, countless Chinese who want to develop and change their destiny have been looking at this sacred place of 'money' with a pair of excited, hungry, and holy eyes.
is eager to come here and stage a counterattack in life.
On June 26, 2002, Chen Xiao finally set foot on this legendary sacred place.
"It's not a Beijinger in New York now!"
"Now, it's from Jiangsu Province in New York!"
"My ending must be different!"
Chen Xiao was yelling when he stepped into Madison Square Garden. Apart from CCTV reporters, no one knew what it meant.
No one cares.
Because almost every rookie who entered here with Chen Xiao is doing the same thing as Chen Xiao.
Excited and full of spirits, the dung was ten thousand households back then!
After all, they are just a group of 18 or 9 year olds.
Which boy would lack the courage to "walk through the sky"?
Inside the theater in Madison Square Garden, New York.
When Chen Xiao and the others walked in, some players and their families were already sitting on the round table in Madison Square Garden.
is not only for Chen Xiao, but for all the players invited to the green house, this is an opportunity to change their destiny.
Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, the three of them came together, and the mighty group of people would naturally arouse the attention of others in the theater.
Especially Dwyane Wade, although because the Heat won the No. 1 pick and the Rockets won the No. 2 pick, Wade's No. 1 and No. 2 pick are gone.
However, Wade is the biggest attraction of this draft.
Jay Williams must go to the Heat, Yao Ming must go to the Rockets, there is nothing to see.
The key is Wade!
The whole world knows that the bull is crazy for Wade now,
The Warriors with the third pick don't need Wade, and the Bulls who need Wade the most can't come up with the bargaining chips the Warriors want.
The key is that the attitude of the Warriors is also quite strange. Knowing that the Bulls are so hungry and thirsty for Wade, most people must think of robbery.
But the Warriors, whose salary space has exploded, have no interest in robbing the Chicago Bulls.
This makes people feel uncomfortable. That's how it feels to send yourself to the door and let others drill.
Of course, if the Warriors don't make money, it's actually a mixed bag for the Bulls.
The Bulls can't get the Warriors' No. 3 pick, and it's hard for other teams to get it.
If the Warriors do not pick Wade with the third pick, then the Bulls can also get Wade with the fourth pick.
Therefore, there have been rumors before the draft that the Bulls have given up trading up, and I don't know if he has accepted his fate or thinks Wade should fall to fourth steadily.
Chen Xiao knows that the Bulls have 'buy' inside information from the Warriors, and the Warriors will use their No. 3 pick to select a forward.
At the very least, this news is very reliable before the start of the draft.
So, Wade, who had been nervous before, now has a very relaxed expression on his face.
Wade knew his next home, so he seemed very relaxed.
is the same as Jie Williams, who is already sitting in the center of the little green house at this time.
The expression on Jie Williams's face is also very relaxed now.
A pair of Lao Tzu is the champion, you all give me crawling eyes, which is quite annoying.
Especially when the three of Chen Xiao and the others came in, the 'arrogant' who was 'not to be praised' gave Chen Xiao and the others a fierce look.
Of course, on a stage like the draft, Jie Williams, no matter how bad his personality is, it is impossible to really do anything.
is to use eyes to provoke and provoke, to show off the style of the champion in the future.
In the small green house, Chen Xiao and Wade and Ron Howard are separated.
As one of the two rookies of this year, Wade is naturally sitting in the middle of the position with Jie Williams.
"It's really bitter, Xiaotai, I have to be looked at by Jie Williams's eyes all night, haha."
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, the other three Marquette University players who were sitting at the table with Chen Xiao didn't know what to say.
It's been very difficult for Wade to sit next to a stinking **** all night, why do you want to 'gloat' like this!
However, in a sense, Dina, Braxon, and Caudell Henry thought that Chen Xiao was right.
Wade is really uncomfortable to the naked eye now.
Wife and children are there, the whole world is watching, even if he is upset at Jie Williams's provocative gaze, he can only endure it.
And you have to smile with demeanor.
So, at this time, Wade's smiling cheeks are really uglier than crying.
On the contrary, Chen Xiao and Ron Howard sitting in the corner can now feel free.
Among the dozen green house rookies officially invited by the NBA this time, Chen Xiao is the last one.
I heard that NBA general managers are not optimistic about him except Jordan, and most of them didn't vote for him in the small green house.
But David Stern stood out from the crowd and gave Chen Xiao a spot in a small green house.
For rookies, being able to sit in a small green house is very important, and it is a recognition of being considered a top student.
Moreover, Chen Xiao's becoming a rookie in Little Green House is not only important to him, but also important to CCTV and China.
Yao Ming should have been tied with him as the first green house rookie in China and the first green house rookie in Asia.
But I heard that the Basketball Association would not let him come. He hadn't approved him to participate in the NBA draft the day before the draft, so he could only stay in China.
Because Yao Ming could not come to the draft conference, the NBA and David Stern also attached great importance to Yao Ming. Therefore, a draft branch venue was set up in Beijing, and the situation of the Beijing branch venue can be seen on the big screen.
Chen Xiao looked at the tall, thin, tall and thin man on the big screen at the scene. Although the big man wanted to laugh, Chen Xiao always felt that his smile was like a Chinese character. As for what kind of man...cough, I can't remember.
Chen Xiao could see from the big screen at the scene that he wanted to come.
But he couldn't resist the decision of the Basketball Association.
"Xiao Chen, fortunately we have you, otherwise we will be embarrassed."
The person in charge of the CCTV draft report sitting next to Chen Xiao said gratefully.
is really embarrassing. If Chen Xiao did not show up, they might not even be able to use it on the spot.
You obviously want to report on this draft contest, but you can only stay in the Beijing branch and can't come to the conference site. What's the deal?
Chen Xiao sat in the small green house for a while, and the small green house that had been dotted with dots had already begun to be gradually enriched.
Da Juan Wagner, Chris Wilcox, Jared Jeffries...
These are Chen Xiao's acquaintances in the NCAA.
Of course, there is also someone who is quite strange to Chen Xiao.
"Who is that **** as Jie Williams?"
"Amare Stoudemire, the number one high school student in the United States in 2002!"
The number one high school student in the United States in the class of 2002?
No wonder.
A high school student in the class of 2002, Chen Xiao knew Carmelo Anthony.
Because he is the hottest, the previous high school game between Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James was broadcast live across the United States, and the impact was very large.
Chen Xiao's knowledge of Anthony is very, very strong. Even Wade, who has always been arrogant, said that he was strong.
And his ability pressured Anthony to become the nation's number one high school student...
"Sure enough, you have the qualifications for stinky farts!"
Chen Xiao is full of curiosity about this stinky high school student.
Those big eyes that I was curious about looked at Stoudemire shining, but in exchange for Stoudemire's disdain and rolled eyes.
In the NBA draft green room, when all the invited rookies were filled, after a while, the league president David Stern came to the front desk with his envelope.
Along with David Stern was the booing of New York fans.
This is a BGM dedicated to David Stern.
Facing the boos from New York fans, David Stern calmly said the opening remarks and took out the first envelope.
When David Stern took out the first envelope of the draft tonight, all the focus of the audience turned to Jie Williams sitting in the middle.
Including Chen Xiao, including Wade, including Ron Howard, as well as all broadcast seats on the scene.
"The No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft is the least suspenseful!"
even includes David Stern.
Before opening the envelope, David Stern glanced at Jie Williams below.
Pat Riley and the Heat have done so much to get Jie Williams, and finally, lovers can finally get married.
"In the 2002 NBA Draft, the first round, the first overall pick, the Miami Heat selected..."
David Stern, who had always been calm, suddenly paused.
David Stern This sudden meal, the calm expression on his face solidified, almost all the people watching Jie Williams on the scene turned to look at David Stern.
Even Jie Williams frowned and looked at David Stern.
"The Heat used the No. 1 pick to pick me, do you still need to sell it?"
Jie Williams was a little upset.
I have to say that the president is the president. Although he was suddenly attacked by someone who does not speak martial arts, he quickly recovered.
"In the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft, the first overall pick, the Miami Heat selected the Great Wall of China from China, it's dying!"
When David Stern read out the name in the envelope, the whole scene was silent for a while.
Soon.
The whole scene uttered overwhelming booing noises at the big Chinese man who was also stunned in the Beijing branch on the big screen.
Fans, rookies, even rookie family members and journalists and experts are booing like crazy.
Maybe the whole scene, only Chen Xiao and Marquette University players and their families were silent.
"Has Yao Ming been selected by the Heat as the top pick?"
"Does the Heat want to rob the Rockets?"
Even the reporters of CCTV next to Chen Xiao were surprised.
The choice made by the Heat made the draft scene very wrong.
In fact, what was even more astonishing was the branch venue in Beijing.
In the Beijing branch, there are not only Yao Ming and Yao Ming's family members and officials from the Basketball Association, but also the Rockets' high-level and coaches.
They have all prepared the black and white checkered jersey for Yao Ming. Now, Nima's, do you want to pass it to Yao Ming?
Even Yao Ming, who likes to be the champion, is very confused now.
Is it really going to have another twists and turns?
His heart is really tired now, and the tired people have thought about retiring...
If the Heat is just to rob the Rockets, this is okay, he can still go to the Rockets.
But if the Heat want to use it by themselves, then...
Yao Ming is not going to be the Rockets.
But if he wants to enter the NBA, he needs to meet those harsh conditions of those people.
Except for the Rockets, no other team can agree.
Therefore, the Rockets will not agree that they were robbed, it has already cost so much.
And if the Heat want to use it for themselves, they have to wrestle.
The Rockets have been wrangling with those people for so many years, and now the Heat has been wrangling for a few more years, how many years can his life be?
Yao Ming's heart is very disturbed now, but he has become the No. 1 pick in the draft, Yao Ming can't be stupid.
Facing the overwhelming boos from the main venue in New York, Yao Ming was a little embarrassed.
"I am very happy to be the champion. I was a little surprised and a little nervous. I think there are many challenges waiting for me in front of me, but I will work hard. In the future, I will improve my skills and improve the level of Chinese basketball. I will work hard. Go worthy of this honor."
After Yao Ming finished speaking, the atmosphere in the Beijing branch venue began to be enthusiastic, and the boos in the New York venue became even more arrogant.
"Why can this Chinese become the No. 1 rookie!"
"How can he compare to Jie Williams!"
"We don't want Chinese, we want Jie Williams!"
Even the Heat fans on the scene were booing.
The Heat got the No. 1 pick, and many Heat fans came here to watch the ceremony.
Seeing this scene at the scene, Chen Xiao felt like he had entered a huge wave.
Yao Ming is in China, no matter how loud the boo is, it doesn't matter if he can't hear it.
But Chen Xiao was on the scene. The people booing Yao Ming couldn't find Yao Ming. Of course, he was looking for another Chinese in this draft.
Chen Xiao could clearly feel that his eyes were full of hostility when watching him live.
For these people on the scene, there is no problem with Jie Williams and Wade, who is the top pick, they are all served.
But Yao Ming?
Who is this guy?
He is also qualified to be the one who is pressing on us?
Is he worthy?
Especially the only rookie high school student Stoudemire on the scene, he is definitely the favorite of boo.
Wade and Jie Williams are not convinced, will he serve Yao Ming?
In short, after David Stern announced that Yao Ming became the top pick, the whole scene became a mess.
On the Rockets side, the same mess became a mess.
"Pat Riley, this guy actually robbed him!"
"Carol, what shall we do now?"
"The second overall pick Jie Williams, we have to make Pat Riley pay the price. When he decides to rob us, he is doomed. He will definitely fail. In the entire NBA, only our Rockets are willing to use the treatment of superstars. Yao Ming welcomes the NBA, David Stern will intervene, Pat Riley will finally beg us to honestly send Yao Ming to the Rockets!"
After a brief panic, the Rockets finally calmed down.
"Don't panic, Yao Ming is just wearing the Rockets jersey a few days later!"
In the small green room, the chaos caused by Yao Ming soon subsided, because David Stern had already taken out the second envelope.
"In the 2002 NBA Draft, the first round, the second overall pick, the Houston Rockets picked a guard from Duke University, Jay Williams!"
Jie Williams didn't have the slightest joy on his face after being pronounced by David Stern.
At this time, he didn't have a little bit of mockery and contempt for Wade and Chen Xiao's disdain.
However, arrogance is still arrogance, arrogance is still arrogance.
"I will always be the best, better than everyone!"
Seeing Jie Williams like this, Wade is definitely the happiest person. Wade almost laughed at this moment.
"Dwyane, what are you doing?"
"Comfort this guy."
Jie Williams came down from the stage and saw Wade waiting for him with a smile.
"Jie, I think you are right. The best player lost the draft, hahahaha!"
Wade finished with a smile, and Theo Vaughan, who was holding the child next to him, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
How can this style of speaking be so like Chen!
The belt was broken, my husband was broken!
"The best player lost the game."
This is Pat Riley's evaluation of the NCAA Finals when he was building a campaign for Jie Williams.
is one of the most famous quotes in recent months.
Pat Riley's comment has always been the pride of Jie Williams.
Now…
is a mockery.
Riley's mouth, deceitful ghost!
Wade's words that mimic Pat Riley's tone are simply murderous, and the effect is full.
Seeing that Jie Williams was stimulated by himself, Wade sat back in his seat contentedly.
"I didn't expect to compete with this guy for so long for the No. 1 pick, and finally be snatched by someone else. It is really ironic, but as long as it is not Jie Williams, everything doesn't matter, hahahaha!"
Wade is very happy now, Jie Williams did not get the No. 1 pick, not so important in the hearts of the Heat and Pat Riley, but just a bargaining chip used to rob the Rockets.
This is very refreshing.
Look at everything the Bulls have done for me, and look at you being betrayed by the Heat, hahahaha, I won in the end!
"As long as I can be selected by the Chicago Bulls tonight, everything will be perfect!"
Wade in a good mood is looking forward to it.
On the stage, the NBA draft is still going on.
"In the 2002 NBA Draft, first round, third overall pick, the Golden State Warriors chose a guard from Marquette University, Dwyane Wade!"
Wade, who was in a good mood, was dumbfounded in an instant.
Next to him, Jie Williams, who was being interviewed with an ugly face, laughed directly in front of the reporter who interviewed him.
"Hahahaha, this guy can't go to the bull's house anymore!"
The Golden State Warriors suddenly selected Wade.
This means that the inside information that Wade and the Bulls had previously received is out of date.
This means that a team has already shot Wade!
"We were robbed, what should we do now?!"
It was just a panic with the Rockets, thinking that Yao Ming was ultimately different from himself, and the Bulls were truly desperate.
Wade, the player they have worked hard for a season, or left them!
"In the 2002 NBA Draft, the first round, the fourth overall pick, the Chicago Bulls selected an insider from the University of Kansas, Drew Gooden!"
was selected by the Bulls with the fourth overall pick. Gooden was quite surprised. It was definitely a surprise for him who had been predicted to be around ten in the overall pick.
Besides, this is a bull!
Drew Gooden was very excited.
And Wade coming off the stage is still like a walking dead.
Chen Xiao looked at Wade like this, very worried.
"Tonight's draft is too messy!"
The chaos continues!
"In the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft, the fifth overall pick, the Memphis Grizzlies picked a forward from Duke University, Mike Dunleavy!"
Dunleavy has never had contact with the Grizzlies, and there has never been news that the Grizzlies need Dunleavy. This is still an accident.
"In the first round of the 2002 NBA Draft, the sixth overall pick, the Denver Nuggets selected a power forward from Georgia, Nick Loz Skitisvili!"
This young insider from Europe was named European Bird, Nowitzki Jr.
is still surprised, because this person didn't even come to the green house, so he was ranked sixth, which was too dramatic.
Watching this insider was selected, Jordan felt very distressed.
such a pity.
I didn't expect that there are people who know goods like him in this world.
The European insider was not invited to the small green house. Originally, Jordan felt that this person should belong to him.
"But it's okay, it's our turn right away, the main course, it's coming soon!"
The cigar has been lit, the red wine has been filled, everything is so beautiful.
"In the 2002 NBA Draft, first round, seventh overall pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected guards from Marquette University, rare beasts from China, Wonder Boy, Eye of God, Chen, Xiao!"
The longest time David Stern said tonight!
The most exciting time David Stern said tonight!
But in front of the TV, there was a bang!
The red wine glass has been smashed to the ground, and the cigar is also hanging from the corner of the mouth, it will fall...
Just now, Jordan was still very energetic.
At the scene, Chen Xiao was already stupid.
