Chapter 132: Big deal that shocked the world

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

On June 27, 2008, the NBA draft, the last big play of the summer, finally took place at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Relying on the huge popularity of this draft class three or four years in advance, this draft has attracted a lot of attention, even more than in 2003.

Outside Madison Square Garden, the media took their places early.

As we all know, draft day may also be the day when big trades occur. Teams often make some big trades around rookies. This is also one of the highlights of the draft, so naturally the media will not miss this opportunity. Arrive.

If you often watch the NBA, you will find that there are basically your acquaintances here, and you can basically see them on various TV stations, networks or newspapers and magazines.

And here, the reporter group from China CCTV is particularly conspicuous, and they also dispatched a huge interview lineup.

As we all know, in recent years, mainland reporters will only come to the scene to report when there are domestic players participating in the election. For example, when Dayao entered the NBA last year when the United Arab Emirates participated in the election, for some reason, Dayao himself did not Come, naturally there will be no broadcast, so the domestic live broadcast draft has never happened.

This time, CCTV actually chose to live broadcast the whole process, which is also a precedent.

The interview was led by Han Xue, a new beauty reporter who joined CCTV. Just one year after joining CCTV, Han Xue with fair skin and beautiful long legs attracted the attention of many fans and stood out among the reporters.

Leading the team to the United States this time, the leaders also hope that she can make some achievements, so that in basketball, they will be able to have their own female reporters.

And Han Xue is also full of confidence. This time, her goal is very clear. It is to interview Zuo Li. Now Zuo Li is not famous in China, but there are many people who are curious. Many people want to know, in addition to Dayao, there are other Which yellow race can compete for the top spot.

Speaking of the champion, Han Xuelai didn't believe it before. How could a yellow race have such a high talent? Most of them are just rumors. Such views are not rare in China. After all, NCAA competitions are wild in China, and even people from CCTV don't pay much attention.

But the moment he came here, Han Xue believed.

She couldn't believe it, the fans outside Madison Square Garden explained everything, and in the most obvious place in the infield, the rookie poster, Zuo Li was in the center, and after chatting with a local American reporter, she realized that the name Zuo Li has already become famous all over the United States. .

"Hurry up and ask the country for instructions. This time, we must give Zuo Li an exclusive interview!" Han Xue made a decisive decision. Perhaps, this time, she will witness the birth of a legend of the yellow race.

Outside the stadium, a large number of fans have gathered since noon. Among them, Zuoli's fans are the most. Basically, seven out of ten are Zuoli's fans. After all, this is Zuoli's site, and he is here. Others are naturally incomparable.

There are also diehard Knicks fans holding up the slogan "Zuo Li don't go", the meaning is obvious, they hope that Zuo Li can play for his hometown team and not leave New York.

This scene was photographed by many media reporters, among them ESPN reporters also joked in the live broadcast: "Hahaha, we can see that Zuo Li's fans in New York asked Zuo Li not to leave, but this is impossible, There's no way he could have dropped to sixth."

You can't hide the look of wanting to kill someone.

If looks could kill, ESPN reporters would have died 800 times.

But there seems to be nothing wrong with this, because the whole world thinks so.

At night, the climax is finally coming.

As a popular candidate for the top spot, Zuo Li was invited into the small green house.

He brought three people, Rich Paul, Coach Hibbert and Mr. Derek, the former is his right and left hand, and the latter is his family in this life.

Being able to enter the NBA under the watchful eyes of these two is the most perfect ending.

In addition, Zuo Li also brought an old basketball, which was placed in the center of the table. When a reporter asked about the origin of the ball, Zuo Li smiled and said nothing.

It's just that if you zoom in, you can see that the ball has 'Goat' written in a very light marker.

The rhythm of the draft was fast. David Stern, an old man who kept smiling at all times, slowly stepped onto the stage, and then said a few scenes, which also announced the official start of the draft.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the camera was unambiguous. It swayed back and forth between Zuo Li and Ross. The arm strength that was not born for 40 years could not do this job.

And the rookies in the little green house are also watching these two frequently. Except for Beasley, no one may think that the champion will be produced outside these two.

The first was the Bulls, who also quickly submitted their selections, with a staff member handing an envelope to David Stern.

Fans watching the draft on stream are also staring at the envelope that could change the league for the next 20 years.

Without letting outsiders wait long, Stern read the envelope unhurriedly: "The first pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls chose..."

"From Davidson College... Zuo~Li~!"

"NICE!" Coach Hibbert jumped up and rushed towards Zuo Li, giving Zuo Li a fierce hug: "You are now the No. 1 pick, boy, great job!"

Zuo Li, on the other hand, was a little stunned. He and Rich Paul looked at each other and saw the confusion in the other's eyes. UU Reading

What confuses him is not that he is still the champion, but that the Knicks have been doing it for a long time, and the result is still the same?

"God, the Knicks are too unreliable. It's a waste of your mood." On the surface, Zuo Li kept a smile, stood up and hugged the people around him one by one, and accepted the congratulations from the others in the small green house, especially Ross.

When hugging Ross, Zuo Li added in his heart, sorry, I took your champion.

Then put on the Chicago hat, walked up to the stage, shook hands with Stern, hugged, and took a group photo.

It can only be the case now, the bull is the bull, that is, in the future, the Knicks can never be trusted!

"Congratulations to Zuo Li, from Davidson College, the new NCAA champion, becoming the second yellow champion in the NBA after Dayao." Yu Jia, who was in charge of domestic commentary, was also very excited to see Asians once again become the champion. This time the broadcast was not in vain.

However, when Zuo Li became the champion and was sitting off the court preparing to be a spectator, he suddenly became restless on and off the court. From time to time, the media could be heard screaming outside the small green house.

When the staff came on stage for the second time, they obviously whispered to Stern. Then, David Stern took out a second piece of paper. Facing the audience, he coughed and then slowly announced : "The 2008 draft, the second pick in the first round, from the New York Knicks... They selected a guard from the University of Memphis, Derrick Rose! Congratulations!"

Zuo Li: "???"

Ross: "???"

audience:"???"

Other team managers: "???"

What the hell, didn't Miami get the No. 2 pick, what's the matter with the Knicks!

Swish!

The camera was aimed directly at the general manager of the Knicks in the outfield, only to see him smiling slightly, hiding his merits and fame.
