Basketball: starting from the nerve knife
Chapter 002
Chapter 2 is to try to play as well as possible
Wilson Chandler stood up to David Stern’s shouts, the agent next to him hugged him, the audience around him applauded, and he deliberately turned his head to look at Li Wan before taking the field, with a victor’s smile on his face.
In the battle for the 17th pick in the first round, he won.
“fxxk! ”
Arne Tyren cursed in a low voice, patted Li Wan on the shoulder, and walked towards the sidelines.
Before the 20th pick in the first round, only one Lakers was still connected with him, and he had to do his best to get Li Wan selected with this pick.
But the Lakers…
“Will you choose me? ”
Li Wan muttered softly in his mouth.
The man who promised him was Lakers general manager Kupchek.
But the Lakers also had head coach Phil Jackson in the draft this year.
Judging from the Los Angeles media reports before the draft, Phil Jackson and Kupchek have a big difference in selection. “Zen Master” seems to prefer to choose a player with a number four or five to fill the inside line.
Li Wan’s expression became a little serious. If you really fall to the 20th pick in the first round, the system’s evaluation results will be miserable…
“BOSS, the Nix didn’t choose Li Wan…”
At the same time, in the backstage Lakers lounge, Kupchak saw Chandler on stage and called the Lakers owner Buss Sr. for the first time.
“Then we choose! ”
Old Bass’s unquestioning voice came over the phone. Choosing Li Wan was originally his idea.
Kupchak hesitated a little: “But Phil’s side, haven’t you already agreed…”
“That was when the Knicks chose Li Wan, and now they don’t have a choice, so they won’t count…” There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then he said, “Anyway, you choose first, and we can only know Phil’s attitude after the selection.” ”
As soon as Kupchak heard this, he knew that he was going to be a “scapegoat” again. But no way, who makes him a working boy!
– Damn, the phone doesn’t get through!
Arne Tyren went and returned, bringing another piece of bad news.
Marco Berinelli, who was selected with the 18th pick in the first round, had already finished shaking hands with David Stern and walked off the court.
Next came the 19th pick in the first round.
There is no time.
With an apologetic look on his face, Arne Tyron whispered, “Sorry, Lee.” ”
In his opinion, Kupchek is also like Thomas, changing his choice of targets.
Otherwise, it would be impossible not to get through on the phone.
This kind of thing he goes through several times a year in the draft, he is sure.
Li Wan did not speak, his eyes stared at David Stern on the stage, and his body couldn’t help but lean forward again. Until the dust settles on the final result, it means that there is hope.
On stage, under the spotlight of the audience, the backstage staff once again came on the stage with an envelope, the 19th letter of the night.
David Stern held up his gold wire glasses, he took out the card from the envelope, and the name in the card made the curve of the corner of his mouth unconsciously raise a few points.
It seemed like a choice that even he was happy with.
Li Wan looked at David Stern, who was smiling brighter on the big screen than before the previous reading, with an unprecedented focus on his face.
“In the 2007 draft, the 19th pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Lee ~ Wan from the first year of Ohio State University! ”
Pregnant!
Li Wan bounced up like a spring, exhaled heavily, and the 19th pick in the first round was fortunately held.
“Sorry, man, I didn’t get you the best result! ”
Arne Tyren’s face had a slight surprise, he didn’t expect it anymore, but he didn’t expect the peak to turn around, and although Kupchak didn’t know why he didn’t answer his call, his choice didn’t change. However, he still had some regrets, and at one point they were very close to the 17th pick in the first round.
There was a cheer from the audience.
Li Wan’s popularity among American fans is now not as hot as in April, but his popularity has already begun. Many people, even if they don’t know Li Wan, know that he completed a three-point shootout in the final moments of this year’s NCAA Finals, shattered Florida’s dream of defending the title, and staged the “heroic dream” of the little people!
The big screen at this time also played back this classic goal, and the cheers on the scene were even louder.
“Congratulations, man! ”
His college teammate Dai Quinn Cook sat next to him, and after Lee Wan hugged his agent, he ran to follow suit.
“It’s coming to you soon, Dai Quinn! ”
Li Wan saw the nervousness on his face and patted him on the shoulder.
Passing by the small green house that symbolizes the geniuses of ’07, the few people in Florida all cast hostile glances at him, and Noah let out a clear cold snort: “Cut, luck is really good!” ”
The Florida Five Tigers chose to stay en masse last year in order for the school to complete the title defense. All the way through, but because Li Wan, a guy who averaged only 6.6 points per game and shot only 30% from three-point range, his dream was shattered, and he was really humiliated to lose. It hasn’t slowed down until now.
Especially Noaah.
Because Li Wan was the three-point kill completed in front of him.
“Thank you, I’ve always had good luck, don’t you know that? ”
Li Wanyi’s pointed eyes made Noah can’t help but clench his fists.
“Man, I knew you could do it! ”
A tower-like man stood up and hugged Li Wan, and his excited smile made the wrinkles on his forehead more obvious, and he looked at least thirty or forty years old.
Blacks generally do not appear old, with the exception of Greg Auden.
The “combination of Tim Duncan and David Robinson” in the eyes of the outside media is Li Wan’s teammate at The Ohio State University, and is also this year’s top pick.
Next to him, there stood an equally excited black man, probably standing next to Greg Auden, who appeared to be small in stature.
This is Mike Conley, another teammate at Levine University.
Don’t look at his height is not as tall as Li Wangao, but he is the 4th pick in the first round of this year’s draft. Was the first defender selected this year.
How much pressure is to stand next to these two geniuses, Li Wan has experienced deeply in the past year.
“Welcome to the NBA, Lee Wan. ”
The voice of the president of the alliance has a bit of the kindness of the uncle next door, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. If the tone is not so awkward when shouting the name.
Although Li Wan knew that he was in the shape of a beautiful knife in David Stern’s eyes, he smiled and responded with thanks.
Walking off the field, Li Wan surrounded by a group of reporters.
“Congratulations, Lee, you were selected by the Lakers with the 19th pick in the first round, can you tell us how you feel now? A black reporter first asked, his chest, ESPN’s badge dangling a little in the light.
This question Tyren asked Li Wan in a mock interview before, and he already had an answer: “Naturally, I am very happy, but I have some regrets that I failed to become a lottery zone player, and I couldn’t let my parents come to the scene…”
This answer is Li Wan’s sincere words.
Then came a few more happy questions, but unfortunately not all journalists only prepared such questions. Seeing that the interview time was almost over, a blonde female reporter suddenly spoke, and her raised voice suppressed other reporters’ questions: “I heard that Lakers general manager Kupchak and head coach Phil Jackson had a big dispute about the selection of the 19th pick in the first round, and Zen Master doesn’t seem to want to choose you, but rather an inside player…”
Li Wan looked at the expectant eyes of the female reporter and frowned slightly.
From the results now, it seems that Kupchak won …
It’s just that for Li Wan, he has not yet entered the Lakers and stood on the opposite side of the team’s head coach, which is not a good thing! But in the draft, he is the passive choice, and since he has entered the Lakers, he can only take one step to see one step.
After a short silence, Li Wandao: “What I can do is try to play as well as possible…”
