Near noon, Happy finally came back. His face looked much better than before. It should be that the problem had been solved to a certain extent.

"The call from the Bulls general manager has been answered, and they still regard you as their first choice!"

Sure enough, when Jiang Dalin slowed down, this guy immediately came to him and told him the good news!

However, he did not relax: "I will continue to call other general managers, especially General Manager Earl. I will never give up until the last minute."

Jiang Dalin nodded and quickly chased after him again.

After finishing lunch and taking Jiang's father and mother for a walk around New York, Happy deliberately led Jiang Dalin to Madison Square an hour before the draft.

This is to prevent reporters from being tricked. If Jiang Dalin gets in again, it will be bad.

As for using this group of media to refute Bill Simmons, Happy has no intention of doing so. He knows very well that these are a group of people who are just worried about the world being in chaos! It’s better to count on them than on his own mouth!

Besides, he has already convinced one person with his words, and he believes he can still convince the second one, and the third one...

Although your tongue will be a little tired, you still have to keep talking even if your tongue is swollen at this time!

The moment Jiang Dalin got out of the car, just as Happy expected, these guys were like wild dogs that saw the meat and rushed over after smelling the smell.

Within a second, Jiang Dalin was surrounded. He could only let Happy take his family in first.

When faced with questions from many reporters, he only said one sentence: "Everyone, I won't pay attention to a clown, and I don't want to answer his questions, and everyone... No matter what, tonight is destined to be a historic moment in the NBA.

And you will also be the ones to witness history, I wish you all a happy night!"

Bill Simmons' slander only made the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft a little more suspenseful, but with Jiang Dalin's immediate ability, he will definitely not fall out of the top ten.

This is also obvious!

This will be the first time in NBA history that an Asian player has been selected in the first round of the NBA draft. As Jiang Dalin said, this is indeed a historic moment!

Jiang Dalin entered the venue and entered the small green room under the arrangement of the staff.

The other rookies in the lottery area had already arrived. When he entered, they all looked at him. Jiang Dalin greeted the players he knew, but unfortunately some people were not in the mood to pay attention to him, such as Tai.

Chandler and Eddy Curry, because they were beaten twice by Jiang Dalin, their current draft prices are very unstable, and they may fall out of the top five in the end.

Jiang Dalin also understands that he should be angry. Jiang Dalin is really too irritating, and he doesn’t do anything lightly or harshly!

"Hey bro!"

When a familiar voice sounded, Jiang Dalin's smile instantly became brighter, and there was more nostalgia in his eyes.

Let him do this at the draft.

Just Jason Richardson.

"Hey man, long time no see!"

After the fist bump, Jiang Dalin and Richardson hugged excitedly.

When Mother Jiang saw this scene, the expression in her eyes became complicated. She patted Father Jiang next to her on the shoulder and whispered: "Do you think there is a possibility that our son is a bad student?"

Father Jiang said: "Oh, Jianguo has already said that this is the rule in this place, so don't think too much about it."

"Cough cough cough!"

Richardson suffered a Tom Izzo-style suffocation and coughed repeatedly.

Some people really can’t bear their enthusiasm.

"Man, I hope you have a perfect outcome tonight!"

"the same as you!"

Happy shouted, and Jiang Dalin found his seat smoothly.

Xu Jicheng and Yu Jia came together at this time. This was the first time that Chinese players participated in the draft live. The country was very concerned about it. The Central 5th Group specifically asked David Stern for the broadcast rights, and also obtained the qualification for reporters to enter the venue.

.

Xu Jicheng first took photos of Jiang Dalin's family, and then took the opportunity to interview: "Dalin, can you tell me how you feel now?"

Yu Jia next to him had already communicated with the country and cut the screen.

Countless domestic fans who were watching this scene on TV were excited.

Among them is a famous man who is 2.26 meters tall.

Jiang Dalin rubbed his hands nervously: "I have to admit, I'm still a little nervous." Although he was prepared in his heart that he wouldn't win the top prize, before that time comes, he would inevitably have some expectations. It's normal to be nervous!

After saying a few more words, Xu Jicheng and Yu Jia returned to the rear with satisfaction.

The next time is to wait for David Stern to come to the stage and announce the start of the 2001 draft.

It's just that there are still twenty minutes before he enters the field. This is undoubtedly a torture for the rookies on the scene and the rookies in front of the TV!

One by one, even the friends and family who came with them didn't want to talk, some bit their fingers, some rubbed their hands together...

Jiang Dalin turned his head and glanced at Happy. He didn't know when he disappeared again. He could probably guess where this guy went. He should be outside the venue, holding a phone and making a final struggle.

Apart from anything else, Jiang Dalin is very satisfied with this dedicated attitude towards work.

Finally, after a long wait, David Stern finally took the stage.

There was a loud boo at the scene.

Jiang Dalin finally understood why there were boos this time.

At first he thought it was another way of expressing respect for him from the New York fans.

But now it seems more like catharsis after a long wait: Damn you, you are finally here!

Davidster glanced at Jiang Dalin who was sitting in a conspicuous position calmly. He asked the staff to arrange it. Originally, he thought that this guy was firmly in the top spot, so he arranged this position just now to facilitate reporters.

In the first moment, swarmed up!

As a result, that idiot reporter from ESPN ruined his arrangement!

They don't understand Jiang Dalin's value at all!

Is this just a Chinese player entering the NBA?

No, this may be a historic scene for the NBA, and it will also make his subsequent international layout more unhindered!

Accelerating the NBA's internationalization process means that the NBA can earn more dollars faster!

Is there anything more important than making more dollars?

The importance of Jiang Dalin can be imagined!

Originally, David Stern had made it a certainty that Jiang Dalin would become the number one pick through the early media exaggeration... Of course, it was also Jiang Dalin who was confident enough, you know? I learned that Jiang Dalin was on the stage of the joint trial

After defeating Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry in a 1 on 2 match, proud David Stern bought a few more money counting machines overnight.

He was afraid that Daole would not be able to count them by then.

But now...

This idiot!

David Stern couldn't help but cursed in his heart again.

Fortunately, although the position of No. 1 pick may be gone, it is not a big problem for Jiang Dalin to remain in the top five. He will still be paid attention to by the media of the entire league...

Jiang Dalin looked at the little old man on the stage.

For some reason, he felt that the old man just smiled at him.

To give a brief introduction, the draft officially began with much attention. Then the most exciting moment arrived.

The 2001 draft officially begins!
