NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The first time, the second time.

At the draft, Tim Duncan and Han Yi met again in the small green room. Also in the small green room were:

Keith Van Horn, Antonio Daniels, Chauncey Billups, and Tracy McGrady, who just turned 18...

But more than 90% of the cameras were fixed on Duncan and Han Yi's faces!

For this, other prospective rookies have long been accustomed to it, and can't even find a little jealousy. Although the draft has not started, the No. 1 and No. 2 picks have been determined months ago!

The youngest McGrady was obviously quite excited, looking around. When Han Yi and Duncan were sitting there chatting, he was obviously very nervous, but he plucked up the courage to come over:

"Tim, Han, can you two sign an autograph for me?"

"Tim, my mother is your fan!"

"Han, don't get me wrong, it's my mother who likes Duncan, I'm your die-hard fan."

"I've watched your game since you teamed up with AI, and your three-pointer in the NCAA finals was so cool! So cool!"

"Of course, Duncan, you're also very strong, but I still like Han more."

"Han, I heard that your training is very strong, and I would like to train with you if there's a chance. I heard that a little character named Harrington on your team last year, because he trained with you every day, "I have successfully entered the NBA." "I always wanted to train with you, but I couldn't find the door. I was going to George City University this year, but I heard that you are running for the NBA, so I am here too!" Go to the small green house "" Han Yi eventually couldn't bear it: "Please, McGrady, can you make us quiet ..." "Wow!" McGrady was more excited: "Mom, Idol knows me!" In doubt, this year's draft can be evaluated in the future, depending on the future development of these two genius inside lines! At this moment, what Han Yi does not know is that under the efforts and coordination of David Stan, the 1997 NBA Draft was broadcast live on the Huaxia land! "Dear viewers, I am Sun Zhengping, and I am broadcasting the 1997 NBA Draft for you!"

"This is the first time in our Chinese history that we have broadcast the NBA Draft live!"

"I think many viewers don't know much about the NBA Draft. Now we invite Zhang Weiping, the former main player of the Chinese men's basketball national team and the former head coach of the Chinese men's and women's basketball teams, to give us a brief introduction to what the NBA Draft is!"

"Hi! The NBA Draft is easy to understand," Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "It's just that those young basketball players from all over the world who are selected by the NBA go to the NBA to participate in the draft together!"

Sun Zhengping: "???"

"Just like the year before last, our Dazhi, that is, Wang Zhizhi, was selected by the NBA and asked to participate in the NBA Draft, but our Dazhi was too young to go, and said he would go in a few years. , I remember that the Mavericks scouts almost cried when they heard the news. I think in two years, our Dazhi will definitely become the first Chinese in NBA history! "

"No..." Sun Zhengping looked at the manuscript carefully with a confused look on his face, and then looked at Zhang Weiping who was full of confidence, and said carefully:

"Coach Zhang, it is said that there will be a Chinese player participating in the draft this year!"

"Impossible, there is also a Chinese American," Zhang Weiping said confidently: "The only Chinese who can join the NBA now is Dazhi!"

Looking at such a confident Zhang Weiping, Sun Zhengping had to let the director Let's insert a commercial first, then turn off the microphone and ask Zhang Weiping:

"Coach Zhang, didn't you read the information the radio station gave you yesterday?"

"Hey!" Zhang Weiping waved his hand: "Based on my understanding of the NBA, the information our radio station prepared is useless, it's useless, and there are dozens of people in this draft, you can't remember them even if you read them, don't worry, the NBA will introduce each player for at least five minutes later, we just follow it!"

Sun Zhengping was sweating, our Zhang Weiping didn't read the information at all, the information yesterday mainly introduced only one person

, that is Han Yi!

"Han Yi"?

When Sun Zhengping forced the information into Zhang Weiping's hands again, Zhang Weiping was also dumbfounded:

"Han Yi? No, didn't they say that this person couldn't be found? Everyone said that this was a fake, could it be true??"

After CCTV found Han Yi, it didn't reveal any news to the sports circle. For Zhang Weiping, it was a great shock to receive this news now!

Zhang Weiping quickly browsed Han Yi's relevant information, and his eyes became bigger and bigger. At this time, the broadcast signal has returned!

Because the NBA draft has officially begun!

On every TV in China, basketball fans in China saw the live broadcast of the NBA draft for the first time!

NBA Commissioner David Stern walked to the front with a smile on his face, repeating the opening remarks that were almost exactly the same for American audiences year after year, but never heard by Chinese audiences:

"I am very happy that we will welcome a large number of young talents to join the NBA family tonight. This is the moment these young people have dreamed of, and it is also the best reward for their hard training over the years."

Facing David Stern, the talents off the court were naturally cheering, but the faces of those teams that did not get the No. 1 and No. 2 picks were as dark as they could be!

Trick!

As long as we don't get the No. 1 or No. 2 pick, there must be something fishy!

The worst among them is the head coach of the Vancouver Grizzlies. Last season, he came to draw the lottery, and he drew the third pick with the last record. He was scolded by the boss.

This season, he was last again, and he drew the fourth. The boss was furious and fired him directly!

After finishing his opening remarks, David Stern opened the envelope representing the San Antonio Spurs.

"The first pick!" David Stern read aloud: "The San Antonio Spurs selected Tim Duncan from Victor Forest University!

When Duncan heard the news, he didn't look excited. He just stood up and waved to everyone, then turned around and extended his hand to Han Yi, who gave Duncan a big hug:

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

But Duncan looked serious and said in a muffled voice:

"Hey, brother, our duel has just begun!"

"Heh!" Han Yi smiled: "So sharp, Tim, I can only say that the future is also mine!"
