NBA: The Beast Rises

Chapter 18

Wang Mian did not care about the eyes of others in the small green room, and walked to the reporter’s interview area with a happy mood.

A large number of reporters waited here early, and as soon as Wang Mian came, he was immediately surrounded by countless media reporters.

For them, Wang Mian was elected to the Top Show, which is explosive news.

In previous draft predictions, Wang Mian had never been on the list, and only some sources revealed that Wang Mian performed well at the joint trial conference, but no one expected that he would be able to win the list in one fell swoop.

“Wang, what do you think about joining the Los Angeles Lakers?”

“Did you expect to win the top pick?”

“What do you think the Lakers chose you for?”

“Did you show up in the Little Green Room because the Lakers promised to pick you before?”

Surrounded by countless microphones, voice recorders, and cameras, reporters quickly asked questions.

Wang Mian was also exposed to this kind of interview battle for the first time, and was a little confused by the enthusiasm of the reporter for a while.

But he quickly got used to it and selectively picked a question to answer.

“The Lakers naturally saw my talent in selecting me, and I will soon prove that they made the right decision, the Lakers’ rebuild is over, and I will bring more than one championship trophy to the Lakers.”

After Wang Mian said this, he ignored the reporter’s reaction and left the interview area directly.

He knows that it’s useless to say too much now, and when it’s time for the official game, he will let them know why the Lakers chose him.

“WHAT？！ What did he just say? Is the Lakers’ rebuild over? ”

“He said he’s going to bring more than one championship to the Lakers?”

“Rookie season straight to the championship? What an arrogant rookie!! ”

“Haven’t played an NBA game yet? Too confident, right? ”

The reporters were completely shocked by Wang Mian’s answer.

They have interviewed countless rookies, some humble and some confident, but they have never seen someone as arrogant as Wang Mian.

To assert that the team’s rebuilding period is over before a game has been played!

And bring more than one championship trophy?!

You know, the Lakers have been at the bottom of the West for several years since Kobe Bryant’s Achilles tendon rupture.

This is simply not self-confidence, but arrogance!

However, journalists like such arrogant players because it brings more traffic to their news.

In the 2015 NBA Draft, the wheel of fate also underwent some changes due to the crown becoming the leaderboard.

The Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks have not changed their options, with Jahir Okafor becoming a scout and Porzingis still the fourth pick.

Danilo Russell dropped to the seventh pick due to the top pick, dropped to the seventh pick, and was picked up by the Danver Nuggets.

Larry Nance Jr., the youngest brother of the Crown, was still selected by the Lakers with the 27th pick in the first round and became a teammate as in his previous life.

This year’s draft can be said to be a generation dominated by the inside, and the first four picks are all centers, which is still relatively rare in the history of the draft.

It also hit the faces of many people who said the league had entered the small-ball era and that centers had little effect.

And this year’s top four picks are also known as the rookie four centers that fans like to see!!

At this time, in the Celestial Empire, the news that Wang Mian was elected to join the Lakers instantly ranked first in the hot search around the neck.

All basketball fans are excited, especially the domestic Lake Honey, Kemi, who can’t wait to see the inside and outside combination of Wang Mian and Kobe.

Under every piece of news in the professional basketball forum Lion Pounce, it was brushed by the reply of the Lakers championship.

At the same time, due to his arrogant remarks in the interview, Wang Mian caused some controversy in the United States, some people think that this rookie does not know the sky, but there are also many Americans who like this character.

ESPN specially launched a column that invited a group of basketball experts and commentators to analyze the draft.

Everyone is familiar with Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Shaqui El O’Neill sitting around.

‘Dangelo Russell unexpectedly dropped to the seventh pick, I think the top four teams didn’t see his potential very well, they all chose an insider, which is very puzzling. Reggie Miller spoke first.

“Yes, this year the Warriors successfully won the championship with three-point and small lineups, and the league’s style of play has become more and more biased towards the small-ball era, I can’t understand that the top four in this year’s draft are all centers?” Kenny Smith continued.

“No, no, no, the era of center forwards will never pass.”

O’Neal, as a Lakers celebrity, duly touted this year’s Lakers’ rookie.

“The Warriors are winning the championship now because the league doesn’t have a strong center like me, and I’m optimistic about this year’s top pick.”

“It’s a joke that Wang Tian became a leader, he has never played professionally, never, such a player can actually be elected to the list?”

“I predict he’s unlikely to score more than 20 points in his entire NBA career!” Charles Barkley, as always, is against his old rival O’Neill.

Barkley apparently forgot that he had kissed the ass of the ass if he scored 19 points, did not learn the lesson, and began his big mouth prediction again.

But not only Barkley, but also many sports media, all kinds of celebrities are not too optimistic about the crown.

Even some of the die-hard lake honey of the Bao Kumi country are incomprehensible.

Why not Russell, but a center from the Celestial Empire.

Until this year’s rookie draft report began to circulate on the Internet.

Wang Mian (second overall pick in the 2015 draft).

Position: C

With unparalleled physical fitness, excellent arm span and historical level of bouncing power, the height of the center has the athleticism of a defender, and the maximum touch height reaches 4 meters.

Tough defense, historic-level confrontation ability, can make good use of their own bounce to complete the block

Draft template: Wilt Chamberlain + Shaquille O’Neal

As soon as the draft report and draft template appeared, Lakers fans were stunned.
