NBA basketball rhythm monster

After all, he was a domestic reporter, so Li Luo had to be treated somewhat lightly. After the interview was completed, Su Qun received the special treatment of a portable reporter.

This allows him to follow Li Luo's team without having to queue up outside the venue, but can directly report Li Luo's latest draft situation at any time.

The days of waiting for the draft are always short. At the end of June, Li Luo came to New York again.

This time is different from the previous joint trials that required competition and tense situations. Every player who can come to the Little Green Room in New York is the best player in this year.

This time everyone just had to put on their suits and wait for the Jews to read their names and take a group photo on stage.

Li Luo dressed up very handsomely this time. First of all, in terms of suits, under the leadership of Anthony, a local, Li Luo chose a set of clothes that are slim and narrow-waisted. The advantage of this is that it makes his shoulders look broader than they actually are.

It looks like a high-quality basketball insider. Coupled with Li Luo's aesthetic vision more than ten years later, as expected, the moment this outfit was unveiled, the camera clicks reached another high point.

(Many players did not even consider the elements of a suit before officially taking the stage, and casually put on the official clothes and went on stage. Some were in financial distress before entering the league, and a well-fitting suit is expensive. Another is

Some players have their own personality. For example, Allen Iverson, if it weren't for the league's mandatory dress code, he would dress like a hip-hop guy all day long. Another old man, Deng, went too far. He accepted the MVP award like a shopper at the vegetable market.

Looks like an old man, wearing sandals and jeans.)

And Bill Duffy obviously knows what kind of economic value China represents behind Li Luo. Good and decent clothing represents more endorsement opportunities, so Li Luo's appearance must not be careless.

So when Luo Li arrived at the scene, a large number of media reporters almost swarmed up and took pictures of Luo Li. His popularity was even comparable to that of LeBron James, the proud man just now.

Anthony didn't care at all. Speaking of which, having grown up in New York, a media-rich area, he was very familiar with dealing with reporters.

I saw him skillfully walking through the crowd of reporters to reach Li Luo, and then led him to his small circle.

Sure enough, only the strong can make friends with the strong. Anthony, James, Le Luo, and Wade seem to exude an invisible aura, which makes those less powerful low-ranking players dare not approach.

This allowed the four of them to naturally form a small circle.

Up to now, with the Cavaliers winning the No. 1 pick, the ownership of the "No. 1 pick" has been determined without a doubt. Even if the result is not finally announced, the people of Cleveland will never let go of this talented player who is also from Ohio.

The remaining players are very uncertain. Anthony, Wade and Li Luo are all top three.

And the golden boy Milicic from Yugoslavia also performed well in the trial training, and he looked like he would soar into the sky and become a dark horse.

The players on site followed the guidance of the staff and entered the so-called "little green room" one after another.

In the "Little Green Room", Luo Li's heart was far less peaceful than on the surface, but at this moment, Luo Li still conscientiously suppressed his nervousness and quietly waited for Stern to take the stage.

Before the protagonist of the draft comes on stage, NBA officials have arranged highlights of this year's draft players as usual.

Let’s start with the big hits first. James undoubtedly got the most shots. Thanks to his national reputation, James had his own reporters following him as soon as he entered high school.

You can see from the highlights how this talented kid from St. Vincent and St. Mary's High School grew into such a perfect player step by step.

The same is true for Anthony.

No, in fact, in other words, every rookie is the Jordan in his own story before entering the NBA. There are many shots of them flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. Even Lee Luo's Longhorns teammate TJ Ford has impressed him.

Basketball and other violent scenes.

But when it comes to Li Luo, the situation becomes very strange. Li Luo is definitely a favorite, and his own NCAA data can explain everything.

But Li Luo's collection is really not easy to do.

First of all, Li Luo's time in the United States was too short. There are too many NCAA games in a year, and not many of each school is broadcast nationally. This way, there is not enough material for editing.

Thirdly, the quality of Li Luo's playing material is also average. Compared with other insiders who frequently dunk on each other, Li Luo's style of play is very weird. In the interior, Li Luo usually immediately hits the ball as soon as there is physical contact and space is created.

He will catch the shot. The whole shot process is like a crooked shot, as if he is about to make a mistake and score the ball.

There is no other reason. At that time, Li Luo's bounce and shooting speed were not very good, so he could only shoot in such a slightly cumbersome but efficient way.

This is also very difficult for the editing staff.

Fortunately, Li Luo's outside shooting posture is quite good, with a slight leanback and a high shot. It feels a bit like an oversized Kobe. The staff simply gave Li Luo more mid-range shots.

If you don’t know better, you might think that Li Luo is a Nowitzki-type player just by looking at the highlights.

When the record collection was over, the old Jewish man Stern finally came to the stage.

At this time, all the spectators at the scene booed the old man in charge of the NBA as always.

(I also find this strange. In every draft, Stern is always booed, no matter which pick the home team picks.)

After a series of set opening remarks, Stern declared:

"The 2003 draft has officially begun!"

As soon as these words came out, all the players and the team behind him immediately sat upright. Even James' team, who had already confirmed the No. 1 pick, was no exception.

"The first pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers' selection was..."

"LeBron James, from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School!"

As soon as the words fell, James and his team suddenly fell into ecstasy. James stood up and hugged his mother Loria, who was already crying with joy.

But now, the hard work has finally come to fruition, and all the years of waiting have finally paid off.

James himself also had tears in his eyes. When he took the Cavaliers hat from the league staff, he sighed for a while before taking it to the front of the stage and shaking hands with Stern.

After all, it's still James.

Although he had known the result for a long time, Li Luo still felt a little disappointed. His strong desire to compete made him feel a little sad because he was not the top pick.

However, he adjusted his mentality in time and sent blessings to his future opponents.

The status of being the No. 1 pick kept James on the stage for a long time, and the sound of cameras clicking could be heard for two minutes.

It wasn't until the two let go that Stern adjusted his position before continuing to announce in front of the stage:

"With the second overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Detroit Pistons selected..."

"Lo Lee! From the University of Texas!"

"****" Sure enough, he was afraid of nothing. Li Luo cursed in his heart. After James won the No. 1 pick, Li Luo secretly prayed not to join the Pistons.

Larry Brown's pua can be tolerated. The current Pistons are undoubtedly a living hell for rookies.

Li Luo and his team looked a little constipated, but the domestic press corps had already started cheering.

They don't know the twists and turns involved and think that the higher the ranking, the better.

"Second pick?"

"Isn't that the second best?"

"Friends in the audience, let us congratulate Li Luo. He was selected as the second pick in the 2003 class with his impeccable performance in the NCAA in one year. This is the highest draft pick in the NBA since Dayao was elected as the top pick in 2002. Chinese Basketball

The glory is just around the corner!”

"MD, just die. If we work hard in the Pistons, we can still stand out!"

Luo Li bravely put on a Pistons hat and took a photo with Stern on stage with a grimace on his face.

After taking a group photo, the players are usually pulled to the media area. Here they show their loyalty and say a few polite words about following the home team to the death and winning the championship.

Just now, James performed very well in this segment. An Ohio native vowed to lead the people of his hometown to become bigger and stronger and create glory. This scene is really heartwarming and touching, and it is not against the rules at all.

Now, Luo Li was a bit gibbering and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Luo Li's embarrassing scene was interrupted in time by the bombshell news brought by his agent Bill Duffy.

"Li Luo, in a three-way deal, you were traded to the Celtics!"

"Wang Defa?!" Li Luo was stunned.
