After changing careers, I became No.1 in basketball
Chapter 62 061: That year, the unexpected draft
Chapter 62 061: That year, the unexpected draft conference (ask for the first order!)
Summer of 1991, June 6th.
Chicago's dark marinated egg finally reached the top.
He stood on the podium and excitedly raised the O'Brien Trophy.
And his defeated opponent, Drexler, walked into the player channel helplessly.
He replaced the magician and Jordan in the original history to play in the finals, but he still failed to prevent the Jordan dynasty from coming.
Jordan, this was the nightmare of Drexler's life.
Drexler, who studied at the University of Houston in college, is known as the best shooting guard in college basketball.
As a result, Drexler, known as the strongest shooting guard with Olajuwon as his junior, lost to Jordan in the March Madness semifinals.
After entering the NBA, the two were the best shooting guards in the East and West respectively, but Jordan overwhelmed Drexler in both honor and statistics.
Even the slam dunk contest, Drexler and Jordan have participated in three times and nothing.
And now, he was beaten 4-1 by the Bulls led by Jordan in the finals.
Drexler is stupid, he feels like he plays basketball for three things:
Lost to Jordan, lost to Jordan, or fucking lost to Jordan!
Drexler was desperate, though he said before the finals that "I'd love to win a championship, but I'm not obsessed with it, and not having it won't detract from my achievements."
Although Drexler's famous saying is "basketball itself is a kind of fun, and has nothing to do with winning or losing", he can be called the grandfather of happy basketball.
But it's useless to pretend to be indifferent. When he lost in the finals for two consecutive years, he was still very desperate.
I thought that with the fall of the piston, I could finally become emperor.
In the end, he watched the person he least wanted to see become king!
It can only be said that Drexler's hairstyle determined his failure.
The hairline moved back to the back of the head so quickly, and he was reluctant to shave his head.
How can you become stronger without being bald?
The result of this finals made some happy and some sad.
Drexler lost in the finals for two consecutive years, which made Baylor very happy.
He seemed to see hope.
Young man, work hard and work hard. If you continue to develop like this, sooner or later the throne of the king of the sub-kings will be yours!
Seeing Danzi holding up the O'Brien Cup on TV, Shay felt that Drexler was a bit pathetic.
because
This is just the beginning of the Jordan era!
Drexler will suffer more severe beatings in the future.
In the original history, next year's finals will be the Blazers vs. Bulls.
So, Ah Hua, don't cry yet.
Otherwise, I will have to cry again next year.
Baylor's triple record, Drexler is already at his fingertips.
Before Jordan's three consecutive championships, you had already won three consecutive championships!
With Drexler in front, Azhan's status in the runner-up world will be reduced a lot in the future.
Jordan won the championship, which allowed Chicago's No. 23 to complete his final honor.
At this time, he has become the well-deserved No.1 in the league.
And it is not a few steps away from being the first in history.
The Jordan era has officially begun, and Shay is about to enter this era that belongs to God.
The end of the finals also means that the draft is about to begin.
Shay is about to enter the league and face a bunch of terrible and savage animals.
In the NCAA, Shay met the player with the strongest personal ability, that is, Larry Johnson.
And Larry Johnson, even in the peak years of the NBA, was not a high-ranking figure.
Previously, Xie Yi was playing in a mass-market KTV, but now he was about to go to a business KTV, and he was facing groups of professional players.
You really can't play without any strength.
What Shay wants to know most now is which team he will be selected by.
He also asked Falk almost every day, but Falk only said: "Now many teams are interested in you."
It was such a good answer that Shay didn't even bother to ask.
Falk really doesn't know which team will choose Shai, and he negotiated the same conditions with all teams.
7 million in 4100 years, starting salary of 300 million in the first year, player option in the summer of 95.
These three rigid requirements must be met.
The Hornets are very interested in Shai, but Falk can't guarantee that they will definitely give up Larry Johnson and choose Shai.
Of course, even if the Hornets don't draft Shai, Falk doesn't care.
Don't look at the famous name of the No. [-] pick in the draft, but the Hornets' market is too small.
In the 90s, there was no such thing as webcasting.
If a player wants to appear on camera, he has to rely on live TV footage.
How many times do you think the Hornets can go on the All-Ugly TV broadcast in a season?The answer is probably not even a single chance.
In North Carolina, where the Hornets are located, the University of North Carolina is so hotter than the Hornets that I don't know where it is.
No one cares about a small team like the Hornets.
The Nets and Kings are relatively better.
After all, one of these two teams is near the Big Apple and the other is in California.
But the attitude of the Nets and Kings towards Shay is also ambiguous.
On the Nets side, Reid made it clear that Shay's asking price was too high.
But Falk emphasized more than once: "The Hornets have accepted this offer."
This is equivalent to telling Reed that there is nothing to talk about in terms of price.
You don't want Xie Yi, some people want it, and I don't ask you to sign it.
The Kings are the weirdest. They seem to be indifferent to all rookies, and they didn't bargain for Shai's contract.
Their minds are not on rookies.
Falk knew that the Kings might trade the third overall pick.
Word has spread that Nelson Sr. wants to trade Richmond for the third pick.
But more than one team is eyeing the pick.
Specifically which other teams want to pick the No. [-] pick, and whether they have anything to do with Shay, Falk knows very little.
All he knew was that the Lakers also sent someone to watch the workout that day.
After losing the magician, it is not unreasonable for the Lakers to find Shay, a Chinese magician, to succeed them.
In terms of market size, Falk definitely hopes that Shay can go to a big ball market like Los Angeles.
The exposure of the Lakers is unmatched by teams like the Hornets.
And without a magician, Shay can control the ball in the Lakers and grow wildly.
But the Lakers currently have no better chips than Richmond.
You mean James Worthy?
Not to mention that the Lakers are reluctant to lose Worthy, who was selected to the third team last season and made great contributions to the Lakers.
Even if he wanted to, Worthy's trade value is not as good as Richmond.
Although Worthy still played at a superstar level last season, he is 30 years old after all.
His level will not rise any further, and may even decline.
In contrast, Richmond, he is only 26 years old, and there is still room for improvement.
If Falk himself was the Kings management, he would definitely choose the latter between Worthy and Richmond.
Men, who doesn't like younger and more tender?
Then if Shai is not selected in the top three picks, Falk feels that Shai may end up being picked by the Heat at the fifth pick.
The Heat's idea has always been to choose a guard and form a backcourt duo with Glenn Rice.
This defender had better defensive ability, allowing Glenn Rice to concentrate on scoring.
After the trial, the Heat also showed great interest in Shai.
Therefore, in theory, the top five picks, except for the Nuggets who have already locked Mutombo, are likely to pick Shai.
However, Falk did not sit still. One week after the finals, it was also one week before the start of the draft.
Falk took Shay to New York and brought him to Rock Park, known as the Holy Land of basketball.
What Falk did was also very simple. He waved an ugly $100 Doge coin, and then pulled Shay to his side:
"Whoever can score a goal in front of this guy, the $100 will be his!"
Of course, Falk brought a lot of bodyguards on this trip, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so rampant in Rock Park.
Free Mi Li's family, the people here are simple and hospitable, and they like to treat people to eat peanuts on their heads.
He can prove himself, earn money, and show off.
This move undoubtedly attracted many streetball masters to participate.
Some people don't know Shay well and just think it's okay to bully an Asian idiot.
Most of them know that Shai was the MOP of the NCAA last season, but this has aroused people's desire to challenge.
What about the NCAA's MOP? 20 years ago, the famous Dr. J came to Rock Park and had to go back after a defeat.
As a result, the event was extremely popular for a while.
The entire Locke Park was in high spirits, packed with people inside and outside the stadium.
Many even climbed the barbed wire to watch Shay play.
This lively scene even attracted a lot of media.
This kind of atmosphere, this kind of heat is what Falk wants.
Then, all the onlookers were completely conquered by Shay's steals and caps again and again.
At Rock Park, people respect the strong.
As long as you win, it doesn't matter if you're Asian or black, you get respect.
At first, the onlookers might be a little resistant to Shay, an outsider.
But soon, onlookers throughout the stadium were shouting Shay's new nickname:
"Big Shady".
It means a huge shadow.
Because Shay's physique is really huge on the street court, plus he is always like a shadow in front of the defender, and the surname "Xie" has a similar pronunciation to the word shady.
For a time, Shay's name spread throughout the streets and alleys of New York.
Shay played non-stop for four hours in Rock Park that day, but no one could take the hundred-dollar bill from him.
There was no one left after the fight, and even some kids came up and tried to challenge Shay.
Of course, these children are not simple.
Shay remembers two people in particular, Alston and Marbury.
Seeing that they had the courage to challenge themselves at such a young age, Shay admired their courage very much.
But courage belongs to courage, and Shay is also not soft-hearted.
Both Marbury and Alston have had the experience of dribbling fancy, only to be blocked by Shai in the end.
This "fucking basketball dream" defense caused tons of damage to the young hearts of Alston and Marbury.
Shay looked at them both so shut up and shook his head.
Come on, although you can't beat me now.
but.
In the future, if you enter the NBA, you still may not be able to beat me!
So, there is nothing to be discouraged, just accept the fact that you can't beat me.
In the end, Shay, with a nickname that became famous in New York, escaped from Rock Park unscathed.
Those street ball masters who had spent a whole day playing with Shay felt that they were cheated.
After working all afternoon, he didn't even touch the hundred-dollar bill, but it made Xie Yi famous!
Fortunately, there is no national anti-fraud APP in this era, otherwise the server will be completely paralyzed.
Sure enough, the next day, Shay's name appeared in the sports pages of major newspapers.
"The NCAA's first foreign MOP fought hard for four hours in Rock Park without losing a single point."
This title is very eye-catching.
Although beating a crowd of streetball masters in Rock Park does not explain Shay's strength.
But it can illustrate Shay's current business value.
After this battle, Shay became even more famous in American.
As Shay's senior, Ewing also frantically called Shay when he was interviewed by reporters.
"Let's not talk about Rock Park, it's not easy for NBA players to score on him."
For a while, Shay became the player with the most traffic in this draft.
Its limelight even once overshadowed Larry. Johnson.
Larry Johnson was crazy, Shay got such a personal nickname, and I was called "Big Mom."
This.
孽 孽!
In fact, this nickname is not bad, it is better than A Tan, Wu Huang, and Liu Bu Lang in the future.
This trip to Locke Park, Falk can be regarded as a gimmick for Shay.
You see, our Xie Yi is so popular, if you choose to go, you will definitely be able to sell tickets for you!
What are you waiting for? 7 million in 4100 years has been a very conscientious boss.
What else do you want? 4100 million lives are also given to you, okay?
It wasn't just in American that Shay was in the spotlight during this time.
I heard that a Chinese is about to enter the NBA and is still famous in New York.
Domestic reporters also smelled it.
Although in the early 90s, Chinese people didn't know much about the NBA.
But it is not unknown.
As early as the 70s, the Bullets visited China and played games with the Bayi and Shanghai teams.
At that time, Dayao's father was mainly responsible for defending the season's FMVP Wes Unseld.
In 85, after David Stern took power, he also invited the Chinese men's basketball team to American for a month-long "NBA China Friendship Tour".
Let the Chinese men's basketball team play friendly matches with six different NBA teams.
Therefore, Chinese basketball fans probably know that the NBA is a basketball league with a very high level of basketball.
Even if the national team plays against an NBA team, it cannot win even a game.
There is a huge gap in the overall level of players from both sides.
But now, a Chinese young man is very likely to enter the NBA as the top five in the draft!
You can see how much of a stir this caused among basketball fans and sports reporters.
Stern was not idle either, and wrote early to invite reporters from CCTV to report on this year's draft.
If it goes well, Shay should be able to become a catalyst for the promotion of the NBA in China, and even the entire basketball game in China!
In short, Shay is now in the spotlight, and everyone's eyes are on the Chinese guard who has dominated the NCAA and Rock Park.
God knows how many high-level meetings teams have had over Shai.
Finally, the time has come to June 6, the draft day!
Three days before the draft, Shai had just celebrated his 21st birthday.
Falk prepared a big cake for Shay that day, but Shay didn't eat a bite and distributed the cake to the hotel waiter.
Aside from talking on the phone with family members, Shay hardly did anything special on his birthday.
Still wake up early for training, then go back to the hotel to sleep.
Falk had never seen a young man so calm on the eve of the draft, but Shay was actually nervous as hell.
Now that he has been promoted so much, it would be very embarrassing if he was drafted in Waterloo.
NBA history is not without the embarrassing situation of being invited into the small green room, but the name was not read until the second round.
Shay is a Chinese after all, and the NBA has never had a Chinese player before, which may make teams distrust Shay.
These factors may make Shay's pick not as high as expected.
In order to keep himself from thinking about these things, Xie could only paralyze himself through training.
Instead of being in a hurry, it's better to train more and accumulate more experience points needed to upgrade.
Falk had expected Shai to be calm on the day of the draft, but when Shai sat in his seat, he was trembling with nervousness.
The NBA draft scene in the 90s was different from what it will be in the future.
During this period, the layout of the NBA draft scene was relatively simple, without so many fancy big screens.
The representatives of each team did not sit in the private rooms, but each had a table and sat directly on the stage.
Seeing the team representatives on the stage discussing non-stop and making phone calls, Shay's nervousness became even stronger.
I don't know if my fate will be changed by one of the calls.
"Don't be nervous. Didn't Mr. Falk say that too, it must be fine."
Dikembe Mutombo, who was also running, patted Shea on the shoulder.
Falk also smiled at Shay: "Well, it's impossible for something like falling into the second round to happen."
"That's right, if you all fall to the second round, then Mourning's level will not fail." Mutombo hurriedly answered.
Mourning:? ? ?
Why didn't you forget to bury me after graduation!
At the next table, seeing Shay so nervous, Larry Johnson smiled disdainfully:
"Heh, what are you nervous about? You don't have the pressure to be the champion. Unlike me, hey."
"Yeah, I don't have such a high-profile nickname as 'Auntie', so the pressure is not as great as yours." Shay countered with a smile.
The corners of Johnson's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking to Shay.
You can't fight, you can't spray.
Shay you're sick of it!
Falk found out that Shay was not nervous at all when he was competing with others.
Your kid's heart is just like a little head, it's just a matter of chance!
Finally, after a long wait, David Stern stepped onto the stage:
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 1991 NBA Draft!"
The choice of fate, officially begins!
The first pick, the Hornets with the No. 5 pick still have the last [-] minutes to make a decision.
After Stern stepped down, the small electronic clocks on the tables of each team began a 5-minute countdown.
On the stage, representatives of all the teams were on the phone, answering the phone, or having heated discussions.
To be honest, the draft in the 90s was more tense because it exposed the team's management directly to the public.
At the same time, NBC ace host Bob Costas began to analyze the current draft situation with the live TV audience.
"The number one pick, the most likely two are Aunt Larry Johnson and Shay."
Along with Costas' voice, the live footage also showed the two of them.
Larry Johnson, who said he was not nervous just now, is also serious now.
"Even though Shai crushed Larry Johnson in the March Madness tournament, Larry is still a very talented player.
Both of them are likely to be selected at the No. [-] position. It depends on whether the Hornets want an insider or a point guard. "
At this time, the official scouting reports of the two were also displayed on the TV and the big screen at the scene.
Shay's basic data surprised people, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 06 meters.
The inside line is 1 meters, and the point guard is 98 meters. Shay and Johnson are really two wonderful flowers.
Shai's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and this is what the Hornets are struggling with.
After all, it was Shay and Larry Johnson Tavodzik who felt like their heads were about to explode.
A mere 5 minutes is an extremely long time for Shay and Johnson.
Shay felt like he had to wait for half an hour before the 5-minute countdown ended.
Finally, it's time to choose!
David Stern stepped onto the stage again, and he was probably the only one who could maintain a relaxed smile.
He opened the envelope in his hand, then approached the microphone:
"The first pick in the 1991 NBA draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected .
Larry Johnson, from UNLV! "
The moment Stern announced the result, Larry Johnson stood up excitedly and raised his arms high.
The fans at the scene also cheered.
Xie Yi sighed, isn't he the champion after all?
"It's okay Shay, sometimes the champion is not the strongest player." Falk comforted.
Johnson had prepared a 500-word essay to mock Shay, but the moment he was selected, his mind went blank.
The champion, 12 million in 1.1 years.
One hundred million, one hundred million, one life can never be spent!
Hahahahaha!
Johnson stepped onto the stage and took the Hornets baseball cap from David Stern.
Hornets general manager Tavodzik also let out a big sigh of relief. This was a difficult decision, and he was actually struggling in the last 10 seconds.
The reason why he finally chose Big Mom was mainly because Big Mom's technical shortcomings were not as big as Shay's.
In the NCAA, the aunt can abuse the frame, can shoot, has good skills, excellent athletic ability, and is more versatile.
Although Shay's template is a super giant like a magician, he is still a bit too serious.If he can't practice shooting in the future, the shortcomings will be too great.
Even though Big Mom has been chosen, Tavodzik is still not sure whether Shay or Big Mom will be better in the future.
He just felt that it would be safer to choose a more versatile aunt.
Seeing the Hornets pick Johnson, behind the Nets' desk, Carlisle made no secret of his excitement, throwing his arms high.
His movements were also captured live on TV:
"Looks like Shai is going to the Nets to play with Coleman, the No. [-] pick last year.
Nets assistant coach Carlisle is celebrating ahead of time, and he may have been more nervous than Shay just now. "
However, 5 minutes later, when Stern announced the Nets' choice, everyone heard an unbelievable name.
"The New Jersey Nets selected .
Kenny Anderson from Georgia Tech! "
Everyone was dumbfounded, Shai and Anderson were both point guards, and Anderson was beaten helplessly by Shai in March Madness.
As a result, the Nets did not choose the stronger one.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Nets: This is the unique selection strategy of NBA Arkham Asylum~
In the audience, the fans of the Nets also booed, very dissatisfied with the management's choice.
They were all waiting to meet Magician II, but the team chose a 1-meter street player. What are you kidding?
It can only be said that the Nets have been the general hospital of the NBA Arkham Asylum since a long time ago!
Carlisle was also dumbfounded, because it was already agreed yesterday that he would choose Xie Yi: "What's the situation!? Shay's excellence, do you need to explain more!?"
Reid took it easy: "Shay is good, but Kenny Anderson's contract is more reasonable. Besides, Kenny is not weak."
"But didn't we all discuss yesterday that we should choose Xie!?"
"Yes, it was discussed yesterday, but I just changed my mind."
"What have I been doing all year!? We just missed out on perhaps the best player in this draft!"
Carlisle went crazy on the spot, he felt distrust, the team's distrust of him.
He just raised his arms and cheered stupidly just now, but the team didn't plan to choose Shay at all.
Seeing the quarrel between Carlisle and Reed, Costas, who hosted the show, also started to speak:
"Ao, the Nets seem to be full of disagreements about this choice.
Coach Carlisle seems very dissatisfied with the management's choice. How did they discuss it?
Now, it depends on whether the Kings will choose Shai.
If the Kings don't pick either, then Shai may be the most expected but most dropped player in this draft.
But this is also normal. When Drexler participated in the draft that year, he was also predicted to be selected in the top three, but in the end he fell to the 14th overall pick.
It can only be said that the draft is like this, anything can happen. "
Drexler: Don't whip, don't whip, I just lost to Danzi, can't I let go of my frustrated heart! ?
The Nets with the second overall pick also didn't pick Shay, which made Shay feel a little uncertain.
Because the Kings have always been the team with the most indifference to Shai in the top five.
The shot was also given to the small table of the Kings.
I don't know if it's a trick or he's really busy, but Kings general manager Jerry Reynolds has never put down the phone.
One call after another, before this call was hung up, another call was already waiting to be answered.
Their management members also seemed very nervous. The camera showed Shay and Owens. No one knew who would become the strongest prospect in 91 next.
"I know, I know, we are also very satisfied with Richmond. But now, I can't give you any answer, I have to answer the call from the Lakers!" Reynolds hung up the old Nelson's phone, and said from the assistant Picked up another phone receiver.
"Jerry, it's not that I don't give you face, but you know the chips of the Warriors. Jordan has said that Richmond is the best shooting guard other than him."
Invisibly, Drexler was breasted again.
Jerry West, the man behind the Lakers, didn't show up on the draft floor.
Because the Lakers have no first-round picks at all this year, there is no place for the Lakers on the scene.
West was not in a hurry, even though time was running out, he responded calmly:
"You listen to what Jordan says, he said before that North Carolina must win Georgetown.
Let me tell you, what Jordan said, you have to listen to it in reverse!
Since Richmond is so strong, how did Drexler make it to the finals?
And the Warriors' players have stats.
Old Nelson's fast offensive tactics allowed his team to have three players averaging over 20 points per game.
This is because the Warriors have many offensive rounds and many shots, so the data looks gorgeous.
As long as Richmond is asked to change teams, his statistics cannot be so good.
And the chips I gave you have gone through the test of the competition and have real honors!
Think for yourself, anyway, we are not in a hurry, and we are not desperate. "
West's tone was very calm, and he hoped to use this to put pressure on the opponent.
West did make a big decision to make this deal.
But he still hopes to reduce the bargaining chips of the transaction.
Before the phone was hung up, another phone of Kings general manager Reynolds rang again.
"I have to hang up Jerry, it must be the Warriors again. There is not much time, and I have to make a decision."
After all, Reynolds hung up the call from the Lakers and picked up the call from the Warriors:
"This is the last offer, Richmond for Owens, what are you still struggling with?
Richmond is the best shooting guard in the West, even better than Drexler. "
Well, some people seem to be in the draft even though they are not in the draft.
Drexler would never have imagined that there is him here too!
"make a deal!"
"make a deal!?"
"That's right, a deal! We'll help you win Drexler with the third pick, ah no, Billy Owens, and then you give me Richmond, a deal!" Reynolds couldn't take it anymore, In the end a decision was made.
"Very good, happy cooperation Reynolds!"
Old Nelson happily hung up the phone, Billy Owens finally arrived!
In fact, the Warriors played very well last season, and Richmond is also very suitable for the mad scientist's system.
But the mad scientist felt that the reason why the team failed to go further was because they lacked a point forward!
The point forward thing is a very new concept in this era, but the mad scientist is playing with a concept ahead of time.
Don't ask why he didn't choose Shai. Although Shai also meets the conditions of a point forward, the old Nelson's bombardment system requires everyone to shoot.
That's why Old Nelson aimed at Billy Owens.
With 20 seconds left on the countdown, Reynolds asked his assistant to write Billy Owens' name on the envelope.
The name had just been written, and when the countdown was still 15 seconds away, the phone in front of Reynolds rang again!
"Pick it up?" The assistant looked at Reynolds.
For Shay's side, when he saw Stern on stage again, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The Kings are his last chance to enter the top three in the draft. Although the draft pick does not represent a player's final achievement, Shai still wants to be selected in the top three.
Who wouldn't want to be a high pick?
David Stern walked onto the stage with a smile, opened the envelope from the Kings, and was stunned for a moment.
This.
Old Nelson heaved a sigh of relief, finally the dust settled.
As long as Billy Owens can play the expected state, the Warriors will definitely be able to go to the next level.
Who wants to play your ugly defensive basketball and positional offense and defense, what kind of defense can win the championship, I really don't believe it!
Stern froze for a moment, then approached the microphone again.
"The third pick in the first round in 1991, selected by the Sacramento Kings."
"Billy Owens!" Old Nelson said silently in his heart.
"Choose Shay, from Georgetown University!" What Stern said was completely different from what old Nelson thought in his heart!
"What!?" Old Nelson looked at Stern in surprise. Is that guy old and dizzy?
Isn't the deal already done? ?
To be honest, Stern almost thought that he was old and dizzy just now.
The reason why he was stunned just now was that Owens' name had been roughly crossed out in the envelope, and then Shay's name had been written on it again.
He had never seen such a choice tangled up to the last second.
However, Shay's entry into the top three is also the result that Stern wants to see.
He smiles even wider now.
Old Nelson glanced at Reynolds, only to find that Reynolds smiled apologetically at him.
Reynolds and old Nelson didn't have any grievances, so old Nelson was sure that Reynolds didn't deliberately play himself.
The reason why the guy promised himself but then backtracked can only prove one thing - West made a buzzer trade!
Both Shay and Falk were very surprised. The Kings, who were indifferent to themselves, finally chose themselves?
so.
I have really become the strongest Tanhua in 91! ?
91, Tanhua, what the hell.
It is destined that Shay will be a particularly tight player in the future!
Before Shay could react, Mutombo pushed Shay out: "Congratulations brother, you are the strongest in 91 Tanhua!"
Shay: .
Shay walked onto the stage under the eyes of everyone, and the fans in the stands cheered wildly.
It seems that Kings fans are still very optimistic about the team's choice.
"Shai got drafted by the Kings, so anything could happen in the draft.
Because as far as we know, the Kings haven't had much interest in Shai before.
Anyway, congratulations to Shay for being a top-three member of the draft.
He will also become the first Chinese player to play in the NBA!
The league is becoming more and more international now, let us look forward to Shay's wonderful performance in the NBA! "
Under the introduction of the on-site commentary, Shay stood on the stage, took the Kings hat, and shook hands with David Stern.
"I hope you can become a bridge of communication between China and Ugly, Xie." Stern has high hopes for Shay, not only at the basketball level, but also at the business level.
Shay nodded, too nervous to know what to say.
He took a photo with Stern, and the invited reporters from CCTV also frantically took pictures, freezing this historic moment.
After the group photo, Shay stepped off the stage. According to the procedure, he will go to the commentary stand for an interview.
But as soon as Shay stepped off the stage, he heard the system beep.
It seems that some reward has arrived.
But before I had time to watch it, I heard another deal announced on the spot!
When Xie Yi heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
This is when a transaction occurs.
Could it be that Lao Tzu was traded?
Does it have to be so exciting?
Xie Yi also looked at the big screen, and sure enough, his name appeared on it, as well as .
The logo of the Los Angeles Lakers!
"What!? It's not the Warriors, it's the Lakers!
The Lakers and Kings made a trade!
The Lakers actually sent last season's All-Star forward, 88 FMVP James Worthy and a 93 first-round pick, and got Shay from the Kings!
Shay, become a Laker!
And Magic Johnson actually predicted his own destiny three months ago!
The Lakers really chose Shai to take his place!
God, I've never heard rumors of the Lakers wanting to make a trade before.
Jerry West is a man who really does business quietly!
Although they lost the magician last season, they are still a strong team.
Unexpectedly, they actually replaced Shay with the star player!
Jerry West really does always do things that catch people off guard! "
When Shay was still dumbfounded, the staff immediately came up, took the Kings hat from Shay's hand, and handed him a Lakers hat.
Shay looked confused. In the original history, the Kings did change their No. [-] pick, but not with the Lakers.
Has the butterfly effect triggered by my arrival started to appear?
When Jerry West saw the bewildered Shay on TV, a stone fell from his heart.
Let's hope he didn't make the wrong decision this time.
But speaking of it, the Lakers didn't do similar things once or twice.
Robbery, isn't it the characteristic of the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have always been a team that is good at robbery.
Excluding Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in the Lakers' top three picks, both Magician and Worthy were selected by themselves.
But do you think the Lakers got the No. [-] pick by playing badly?
No, the way they got the No. [-] pick is enough to be included in the team's operating textbook.
In 77, the Lakers let go of the guard Old Goodrich for a while, and Goodrich joined the Jazz.
Although Goodrich signed the Jazz freely, there were regulations in the league at the time that free signing veterans had to use draft picks to compensate their home team.
The Jazz gave the Lakers three draft picks as compensation, one of which was the 79 round pick.
In the second year, the Jazz were 26 wins and 56 losses, the lowest in the league.
The Lakers used the No. [-] pick that originally belonged to the Jazz to select Magic Johnson.
In 80, the Lakers traded Don Ford for Cavaliers rookie Butch Lee and the 82 first-round pick.
In the 81-82 season, the Cavaliers had 15 wins and 67 losses, ranking last in the league.
Now the Lakers themselves are confused, damn it. Why is it the No. [-] pick again! ?
I only won the championship the year before, how can I still get the No. [-] lottery after winning the championship?Can I still get one free?
If you want to do this, I will not be polite!
In the end, as we all know, the Lakers used this No. [-] pick to win James Worthy.
The three champion combinations that swept through the 80s took shape.
Many people say that the Lakers are just so lucky, so lucky that smoke is rising from their ancestors' graves.
In the two transactions, both times the cat met the dead mouse and got the number one lottery.
However, regardless of the luck factor, this is actually the great side of the Lakers management.
This kind of greatness is called brave choice!
This was the style of the Lakers management at that time. They were far-sighted, not procrastinating, and they would definitely make a move when it was time to make a change.
For the future of the Lakers, for the brilliant Zijin that will never fade.They are decisive, brave and decisive.
Well, this also sets off the future Lakers management quite brain-dead.
And the transaction that just happened seems to be a replica of the usual operation of the Lakers.
They traded James Worthy, the Lakers' strongest player outside of Magic.
Worthy was also selected to the best third team last season, was selected as an All-Star, and once won a championship with the team.
Using him in exchange for a third overall pick and taking Shay, this is not everyone has the courage.
Of course, whether West's deal is a success, whether it is a robbery or not, it is not yet possible to jump to conclusions.
After all, Shai hasn't proved himself yet, and he may not be able to restore the Lakers to glory like the previous Magician or Worthy.
But whether successful or not, Stern is very happy.
Xie Yi, the representative of international players entering the NBA, is a stepping stone to the Chinese market.
The Los Angeles Lakers, the most high-profile and most gorgeous team in the NBA.
When these two combinations are combined together, it is simply a big murderer with long legs, the best!
Stern can wake up with a smile even in his dreams!
Jerry West was still frowning. To be honest, he didn't know whether his decision was correct.
The reason why the Lakers and the Kings reached a deal at the last minute is that the main dispute lies in the 93 first-round pick in the bargaining chip.
At first, the Logo man was only willing to offer James Worthy.
Worthy is a superb assistant, a magician's best partner.
But after the magician retired last season, the results of the Lakers also proved that Worthy is not the kind of star player who can stand alone.
That's why the Logo man decided to trade Worthy.
Worthy has indeed contributed to the team and shed blood for the team.
But professional basketball is so cruel.
A 30-year-old three-team forward, this kind of immediate combat power is exactly what the Kings want.
Therefore, Logo hardly expected the deal to go well.
Who knows, an old Nelson came out halfway, and offered a younger Richmond with better statistics as soon as he came up.
The Logo man respects old Nelson, but he feels that old Nelson has really lost his mind in this deal.
The Kings took the opportunity to raise the price to the Lakers. They wanted to get the Lakers' first-round pick next year while getting Worthy.
The first-round draft picks in 92 and 93 were very valuable, and the players who may participate in these two years are all famous.
Sharks, Laettner, Mourning, Jim Jackson, Chris Webber, Anfernee Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, etc.
Each of them is a genius who became famous at a young age.
To be honest, the lineup of the 91 draft is very likely to be the worst in the past three years.
And the Lakers are destined to decline without the magician, so the pick may not be low.
The Kings not only want immediate combat power, but also want to collect potential stocks together.
At first, the Logo man didn't want to take the pick.
The picks of 92 and 93 are too valuable. In case the Lakers really fail, there are still picks to cover the bottom line.
Seeing that the Lakers were unwilling to give out draft picks, the Kings finally decided to trade with the Warriors for Richmond.
It wasn't until the last 15 seconds that Logo decided to take a 93-year draft pick while dropping Worthy.
Blame old Nelson!
Without him, the Kings still want draft picks?Let them play boogers!
The reason why the Lakers have been sneaky and have not leaked the news is that they don't want the other party to know their plan and take the opportunity to raise the price.
As a result, Old Nelson's knife cut the Logo man very painfully.
In this wave, old Nelson inadvertently gave the king a divine assist, and he didn't benefit from it.
The 92 draft pick Logo Man still chooses to keep it. Although the Lakers will not completely fail, if Shay fails, the Lakers will be able to stop losses in time at the draft next year.
Everything should be prepared with both hands, that's right.
And just like that, a 15-second deal was made.
So don't think 15 seconds is too short, 15 seconds is enough to do a business worth hundreds of millions!
And Shay didn't know what was going on behind the scenes at this time.
He froze in place, looking at the Lakers baseball cap in his hand, completely confused.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, Shay couldn't have imagined that he would eventually go to the Lakers.
Because before, the Lakers never had any communication and contact with themselves.
By the way, during the last joint trial training, Michael Cooper sneaked up on the scene.
Could it be that the Lakers started planning at that time?
At the urging of the staff, Shay put on a Lakers cap and went to sit behind the commentary table.
Costas looked at the bewildered Shay with a grin, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Relax lad, I know this is unexpected but... welcome to the NBA, this is professional basketball!
So now you're a Laker, really taking over the mantle of Magic Johnson.
what do you think now "
Shay shook his head and took a deep breath:
"I'm excited and will do my best to bring out the best in me no matter which team I'm in.
I have a lot of respect for magicians, but I still want to be myself.
I don't want to be the next one, I just want to be the strongest Shay. "
Nonsense, does Shay dare to be the next magician?
Not everyone can bear the excitement of having children.
"Hahahaha, well said, be your strongest self.
But Lakers fans will definitely compare you to Magic, after all, the template on your scouting report is Magic.
The magician cast the glory of the Lakers in the 80s.
Does his achievement bring you pressure?
Moreover, the Lakers exchanged you with veteran James Worthy.
So other rookies may just need to be themselves, but the Lakers fans must be eager for you to lead the team to achieve some results.
can you do it? "
"It's a little stressful, but not overwhelming.
As for winning, is it possible that I went to the Lakers to lose? "
Shay's self-confidence made many Lakers fans who watched the live broadcast feel better.
I hope you boy can do what he says.
When seeing Worthy being traded, many Lakers fans refused in their hearts.
Worthy is very popular in Los Angeles, after all, he is the veteran of the Showtime championship.
Although in 90, Worthy was phishing for law enforcement because of whoring, and he called room service, but two plainclothes women were called, which caused the collapse of the human set.
But Lakers fans still love him.
Worthy: Can it be my fault?The magician taught me to run and attack, but this alone didn't teach me well!
Many Lakers fans are still scolding the team.
Fortunately, there is no internet these days, otherwise there must be a lot of posts scolding the logo man on the internet.
But a done deal, now that Worthy has been sent away, the Lakers fans must have high hopes for Shay.
You boy better be worth the price the Lakers pay!
It is said that Shay is a Chinese magician. Unexpectedly, the Lakers really got him here.
The talent show has just started, and I have given everyone a surprise.
After the interview, Shay left the commentary stand and prepared to return to the rest area.
But on the way back, Shay was stopped by a few people with Asian faces.
"Xie, we are reporters from CCTV, can you accept our interview?"
The leader with the microphone waved at Shay, who recognized him immediately.
Isn't this Director Zhang who hasn't changed his name yet?
Director Zhang was still in American in 90.
If I remember correctly, he should now be working in the financial department of the University of Chicago.
A few years later, he will become the senior manager of the sales department of China Tsingtao Brewery Uganda Agency.
That's right, Director Zhang's life is so tortuous.
Worked as a national team coach, bound the feet of NCAA college players, sold beer, and then worked as a commentator
Because he had the experience of coaching a national team before and knew more about the NBA, CCTV contacted him to help with the interview.
Seeing a familiar person, Shay smiled.
In this foreign country, it is not easy to meet a few fellow countrymen.
"Director Zhang!"
"Ah? You've heard my story?" Director Zhang was flattered. He thought he had disappeared for so long since he came to American, and no one remembered him.
"Your eyes are full of stories! Don't talk about it, start the interview!"
Seeing that Xie Yi was so enthusiastic, everyone was quite surprised.
After all, most of the selected players have already played big names before going to the NBA.
But Shay was different. He was very kind.
Larry Johnson: Shay is nice?It was all an illusion, an illusion!
The CCTV reporter asked Shay several questions, but the most important one was whether he would participate in the Olympic Games next summer.
Regarding this question, Shay said that as long as the country recruits him, he will definitely go.
Chinese basketball from 90 to 10 can still be saved.
With the end of the interview, Shay's reputation will soon start in the country.
And Shay didn't know that joining the Lakers himself would make Director Zhang many years in advance and become a loyal Laker honey.
Finally back in the rest area, Mutombo happily came up and hugged Shay.
"Congrats buddy, you're going to the big city!"
"I don't know if going to Los Angeles is good or bad." Shay laughed.
Going to the Lakers to play, the exposure must be very high.
But again, the error tolerance rate is also small.
In other places, such as the Hornets playing games, you can swipe your data unscrupulously and play how you want.
Anyway, not many people read it.
But in the Lakers, your every move will be under a magnifying glass.
But if something is not done well, it will be exaggerated by the media.
Shay also found that Falk was on the phone with his big phone.
It is estimated that the Lakers called and are discussing the contract.
It is not difficult to see from the expression that Falk was also a little surprised by this transaction.
Before Falk hung up the phone, another client, Dikembe Mutombo, had already been called by Stern.
Like the original history, Mutombo went to Denver Plateau with the fourth pick in the first round.
An enthusiastic old man who chases others and insists on eating hot pot is about to show his enthusiasm in the NBA.
But speaking of it, even Shay, who was killed a year ago, would never have imagined that his final pick was actually higher than the team boss Mutombo!
It is true that life is impermanent, and the large intestine wraps the small intestine.
With the fifth overall pick, the Heat had no choice but to select Steve Smith, while Billy Owens fell directly to the sixth overall pick.
It can be called the man who fell the worst in this draft.
Nelson Sr. finally traded Richmond for Owens as he wished.
Years later, when Nelson Sr. was coaching the Mavericks, he didn't know how he would feel when he saw Richmond again.
The tears shed at that time are all the water in his mind now.
Richmond's replacement for Owens is definitely the biggest mistake of Nelson's career.
There are some things that feel good until you get them.
But after getting it, I found out that's not the case.
So far, the most interesting choices in this year's draft are over.
Shai's trade to the Lakers is undoubtedly the most unexpected thing in this year's draft.
Everyone in Carlisle was stupid. He talked earnestly for a long time, but the team chose Kenny Anderson.
Moreover, Shay was picked away by the Logo man, which made Carlisle feel worthless.
Why did the Lakers choose Shai?That is to think that Shay can be the next magician.
Obviously we have a chance to choose the next super giant!
There is nothing wrong with the Hornets picking Larry Johnson, but the second-ranked Nets actually missed Shai, making Shai fall to third!
Carlisle felt that this draft was very similar to 84.
Isn't this the same old way that the Blazers missed Jordan? The script is exactly the same!
Looking at it in the future, both the champion and Tanhua have become talents, so the second place is a waste!
Carlisle was angry, very angry.
He felt that all his efforts were in vain, how could there be such a brain-dead management.
That being the case, in the past year, I might as well have made two babies at home with my wife!
After the draft, all the lottery picks went to the press conference hall.
But it was not an interview, but a photo with David Stern.
The 91st class officially entered the league!
After the group photo was over, Falk drove Mutombo and Shay back to the hotel.
In the hotel room, Falk explained the details of the transaction to Shay in detail.
And told Shay that the Lakers also accepted his 7-year 4100 million contract with a player option in 95.
And Jerry West has only one request: "Let the Lakers remain competitive and at least make it to the playoffs!"
For a rookie, this is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
If Shay can't meet the requirements, God knows where he will be thrown into the back of the country.
Anyway, Jerry West is very decisive in making deals.
Scratch the prize, if you get a "thank you", you can throw it away.
I thought they were all like warriors, and Wiseman had already scratched out "Thank you for your patronage", so let's leave it alone.
The Logo man couldn't wait to see Shay, so Falk had to take Shay straight to Los Angeles tomorrow.
Falk told Shay not to get too excited and rest early.
Shay nodded, the pressure of playing for the Lakers is really great.
But there is pressure to be motivated.
Lying on the field, looking at Mutombo who had fallen asleep, Shay finally opened the system interface that he had been thinking about.
When he was just selected, Shay heard the system beep, but never had a chance to check it.
As soon as he opened it now, Shay saw a reward prompt: "Rewards for the top three in the draft!"
Good guy, there are rewards for the top three in the draft.
It's a credit that the Lakers decided to add a draft pick to trade themselves, otherwise I would have made a mistake of [-] million.
After opening the reward, Shay found that the reward was not the player essence, but a badge directly:
"Badge: stab brother twice for victory."
Shay:? ? ?
The name of this badge doesn't look very serious at first glance!
In fact, I came out to hang out because of three things: being cowardly, not being loyal, and betraying my brothers.
Also, why doesn't this badge show quality?
I don't know if it's bronze or gold.
Curious, Shay hurriedly looked at the effect description of this badge:
"When your teammates are abused, you vow to avenge them.
The degree of slowing down of physical energy consumption is positively related to the degree of abuse of teammates. Before the start of each game, only one teammate can be designated to activate the badge effect, and it cannot be changed.
During the game, if any teammate is injured by the criminal and leaves the field, the state will be overwhelmed on the spot, and all attributes will be temporarily +5 until the end of the game! "
In other words, the worse the designated teammates are abused, the more energetic Shay will be!
If he was intentionally injured, Shay would take off directly!
Really Sacrifice teammates, perfect yourself!
No wonder there is no quality difference in this badge, because the quality depends entirely on the performance of teammates.
I have to say, this badge is really inappropriate!
But Shay also really liked it.
Such inappropriate things, please come more!
Why didn't he get this badge earlier, Mourning's previous abuse was for nothing!
With an inappropriate badge and the identity of 91's strongest agent, Xie Yi fell asleep contentedly.
I don't know what my Lakers career will be like.
The first update of 1.5 words is here!Don't say anything, I will kneel down and beg for support!Thank you everyone!
(End of this chapter)
Summer of 1991, June 6th.
Chicago's dark marinated egg finally reached the top.
He stood on the podium and excitedly raised the O'Brien Trophy.
And his defeated opponent, Drexler, walked into the player channel helplessly.
He replaced the magician and Jordan in the original history to play in the finals, but he still failed to prevent the Jordan dynasty from coming.
Jordan, this was the nightmare of Drexler's life.
Drexler, who studied at the University of Houston in college, is known as the best shooting guard in college basketball.
As a result, Drexler, known as the strongest shooting guard with Olajuwon as his junior, lost to Jordan in the March Madness semifinals.
After entering the NBA, the two were the best shooting guards in the East and West respectively, but Jordan overwhelmed Drexler in both honor and statistics.
Even the slam dunk contest, Drexler and Jordan have participated in three times and nothing.
And now, he was beaten 4-1 by the Bulls led by Jordan in the finals.
Drexler is stupid, he feels like he plays basketball for three things:
Lost to Jordan, lost to Jordan, or fucking lost to Jordan!
Drexler was desperate, though he said before the finals that "I'd love to win a championship, but I'm not obsessed with it, and not having it won't detract from my achievements."
Although Drexler's famous saying is "basketball itself is a kind of fun, and has nothing to do with winning or losing", he can be called the grandfather of happy basketball.
But it's useless to pretend to be indifferent. When he lost in the finals for two consecutive years, he was still very desperate.
I thought that with the fall of the piston, I could finally become emperor.
In the end, he watched the person he least wanted to see become king!
It can only be said that Drexler's hairstyle determined his failure.
The hairline moved back to the back of the head so quickly, and he was reluctant to shave his head.
How can you become stronger without being bald?
The result of this finals made some happy and some sad.
Drexler lost in the finals for two consecutive years, which made Baylor very happy.
He seemed to see hope.
Young man, work hard and work hard. If you continue to develop like this, sooner or later the throne of the king of the sub-kings will be yours!
Seeing Danzi holding up the O'Brien Cup on TV, Shay felt that Drexler was a bit pathetic.
because
This is just the beginning of the Jordan era!
Drexler will suffer more severe beatings in the future.
In the original history, next year's finals will be the Blazers vs. Bulls.
So, Ah Hua, don't cry yet.
Otherwise, I will have to cry again next year.
Baylor's triple record, Drexler is already at his fingertips.
Before Jordan's three consecutive championships, you had already won three consecutive championships!
With Drexler in front, Azhan's status in the runner-up world will be reduced a lot in the future.
Jordan won the championship, which allowed Chicago's No. 23 to complete his final honor.
At this time, he has become the well-deserved No.1 in the league.
And it is not a few steps away from being the first in history.
The Jordan era has officially begun, and Shay is about to enter this era that belongs to God.
The end of the finals also means that the draft is about to begin.
Shay is about to enter the league and face a bunch of terrible and savage animals.
In the NCAA, Shay met the player with the strongest personal ability, that is, Larry Johnson.
And Larry Johnson, even in the peak years of the NBA, was not a high-ranking figure.
Previously, Xie Yi was playing in a mass-market KTV, but now he was about to go to a business KTV, and he was facing groups of professional players.
You really can't play without any strength.
What Shay wants to know most now is which team he will be selected by.
He also asked Falk almost every day, but Falk only said: "Now many teams are interested in you."
It was such a good answer that Shay didn't even bother to ask.
Falk really doesn't know which team will choose Shai, and he negotiated the same conditions with all teams.
7 million in 4100 years, starting salary of 300 million in the first year, player option in the summer of 95.
These three rigid requirements must be met.
The Hornets are very interested in Shai, but Falk can't guarantee that they will definitely give up Larry Johnson and choose Shai.
Of course, even if the Hornets don't draft Shai, Falk doesn't care.
Don't look at the famous name of the No. [-] pick in the draft, but the Hornets' market is too small.
In the 90s, there was no such thing as webcasting.
If a player wants to appear on camera, he has to rely on live TV footage.
How many times do you think the Hornets can go on the All-Ugly TV broadcast in a season?The answer is probably not even a single chance.
In North Carolina, where the Hornets are located, the University of North Carolina is so hotter than the Hornets that I don't know where it is.
No one cares about a small team like the Hornets.
The Nets and Kings are relatively better.
After all, one of these two teams is near the Big Apple and the other is in California.
But the attitude of the Nets and Kings towards Shay is also ambiguous.
On the Nets side, Reid made it clear that Shay's asking price was too high.
But Falk emphasized more than once: "The Hornets have accepted this offer."
This is equivalent to telling Reed that there is nothing to talk about in terms of price.
You don't want Xie Yi, some people want it, and I don't ask you to sign it.
The Kings are the weirdest. They seem to be indifferent to all rookies, and they didn't bargain for Shai's contract.
Their minds are not on rookies.
Falk knew that the Kings might trade the third overall pick.
Word has spread that Nelson Sr. wants to trade Richmond for the third pick.
But more than one team is eyeing the pick.
Specifically which other teams want to pick the No. [-] pick, and whether they have anything to do with Shay, Falk knows very little.
All he knew was that the Lakers also sent someone to watch the workout that day.
After losing the magician, it is not unreasonable for the Lakers to find Shay, a Chinese magician, to succeed them.
In terms of market size, Falk definitely hopes that Shay can go to a big ball market like Los Angeles.
The exposure of the Lakers is unmatched by teams like the Hornets.
And without a magician, Shay can control the ball in the Lakers and grow wildly.
But the Lakers currently have no better chips than Richmond.
You mean James Worthy?
Not to mention that the Lakers are reluctant to lose Worthy, who was selected to the third team last season and made great contributions to the Lakers.
Even if he wanted to, Worthy's trade value is not as good as Richmond.
Although Worthy still played at a superstar level last season, he is 30 years old after all.
His level will not rise any further, and may even decline.
In contrast, Richmond, he is only 26 years old, and there is still room for improvement.
If Falk himself was the Kings management, he would definitely choose the latter between Worthy and Richmond.
Men, who doesn't like younger and more tender?
Then if Shai is not selected in the top three picks, Falk feels that Shai may end up being picked by the Heat at the fifth pick.
The Heat's idea has always been to choose a guard and form a backcourt duo with Glenn Rice.
This defender had better defensive ability, allowing Glenn Rice to concentrate on scoring.
After the trial, the Heat also showed great interest in Shai.
Therefore, in theory, the top five picks, except for the Nuggets who have already locked Mutombo, are likely to pick Shai.
However, Falk did not sit still. One week after the finals, it was also one week before the start of the draft.
Falk took Shay to New York and brought him to Rock Park, known as the Holy Land of basketball.
What Falk did was also very simple. He waved an ugly $100 Doge coin, and then pulled Shay to his side:
"Whoever can score a goal in front of this guy, the $100 will be his!"
Of course, Falk brought a lot of bodyguards on this trip, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so rampant in Rock Park.
Free Mi Li's family, the people here are simple and hospitable, and they like to treat people to eat peanuts on their heads.
He can prove himself, earn money, and show off.
This move undoubtedly attracted many streetball masters to participate.
Some people don't know Shay well and just think it's okay to bully an Asian idiot.
Most of them know that Shai was the MOP of the NCAA last season, but this has aroused people's desire to challenge.
What about the NCAA's MOP? 20 years ago, the famous Dr. J came to Rock Park and had to go back after a defeat.
As a result, the event was extremely popular for a while.
The entire Locke Park was in high spirits, packed with people inside and outside the stadium.
Many even climbed the barbed wire to watch Shay play.
This lively scene even attracted a lot of media.
This kind of atmosphere, this kind of heat is what Falk wants.
Then, all the onlookers were completely conquered by Shay's steals and caps again and again.
At Rock Park, people respect the strong.
As long as you win, it doesn't matter if you're Asian or black, you get respect.
At first, the onlookers might be a little resistant to Shay, an outsider.
But soon, onlookers throughout the stadium were shouting Shay's new nickname:
"Big Shady".
It means a huge shadow.
Because Shay's physique is really huge on the street court, plus he is always like a shadow in front of the defender, and the surname "Xie" has a similar pronunciation to the word shady.
For a time, Shay's name spread throughout the streets and alleys of New York.
Shay played non-stop for four hours in Rock Park that day, but no one could take the hundred-dollar bill from him.
There was no one left after the fight, and even some kids came up and tried to challenge Shay.
Of course, these children are not simple.
Shay remembers two people in particular, Alston and Marbury.
Seeing that they had the courage to challenge themselves at such a young age, Shay admired their courage very much.
But courage belongs to courage, and Shay is also not soft-hearted.
Both Marbury and Alston have had the experience of dribbling fancy, only to be blocked by Shai in the end.
This "fucking basketball dream" defense caused tons of damage to the young hearts of Alston and Marbury.
Shay looked at them both so shut up and shook his head.
Come on, although you can't beat me now.
but.
In the future, if you enter the NBA, you still may not be able to beat me!
So, there is nothing to be discouraged, just accept the fact that you can't beat me.
In the end, Shay, with a nickname that became famous in New York, escaped from Rock Park unscathed.
Those street ball masters who had spent a whole day playing with Shay felt that they were cheated.
After working all afternoon, he didn't even touch the hundred-dollar bill, but it made Xie Yi famous!
Fortunately, there is no national anti-fraud APP in this era, otherwise the server will be completely paralyzed.
Sure enough, the next day, Shay's name appeared in the sports pages of major newspapers.
"The NCAA's first foreign MOP fought hard for four hours in Rock Park without losing a single point."
This title is very eye-catching.
Although beating a crowd of streetball masters in Rock Park does not explain Shay's strength.
But it can illustrate Shay's current business value.
After this battle, Shay became even more famous in American.
As Shay's senior, Ewing also frantically called Shay when he was interviewed by reporters.
"Let's not talk about Rock Park, it's not easy for NBA players to score on him."
For a while, Shay became the player with the most traffic in this draft.
Its limelight even once overshadowed Larry. Johnson.
Larry Johnson was crazy, Shay got such a personal nickname, and I was called "Big Mom."
This.
孽 孽!
In fact, this nickname is not bad, it is better than A Tan, Wu Huang, and Liu Bu Lang in the future.
This trip to Locke Park, Falk can be regarded as a gimmick for Shay.
You see, our Xie Yi is so popular, if you choose to go, you will definitely be able to sell tickets for you!
What are you waiting for? 7 million in 4100 years has been a very conscientious boss.
What else do you want? 4100 million lives are also given to you, okay?
It wasn't just in American that Shay was in the spotlight during this time.
I heard that a Chinese is about to enter the NBA and is still famous in New York.
Domestic reporters also smelled it.
Although in the early 90s, Chinese people didn't know much about the NBA.
But it is not unknown.
As early as the 70s, the Bullets visited China and played games with the Bayi and Shanghai teams.
At that time, Dayao's father was mainly responsible for defending the season's FMVP Wes Unseld.
In 85, after David Stern took power, he also invited the Chinese men's basketball team to American for a month-long "NBA China Friendship Tour".
Let the Chinese men's basketball team play friendly matches with six different NBA teams.
Therefore, Chinese basketball fans probably know that the NBA is a basketball league with a very high level of basketball.
Even if the national team plays against an NBA team, it cannot win even a game.
There is a huge gap in the overall level of players from both sides.
But now, a Chinese young man is very likely to enter the NBA as the top five in the draft!
You can see how much of a stir this caused among basketball fans and sports reporters.
Stern was not idle either, and wrote early to invite reporters from CCTV to report on this year's draft.
If it goes well, Shay should be able to become a catalyst for the promotion of the NBA in China, and even the entire basketball game in China!
In short, Shay is now in the spotlight, and everyone's eyes are on the Chinese guard who has dominated the NCAA and Rock Park.
God knows how many high-level meetings teams have had over Shai.
Finally, the time has come to June 6, the draft day!
Three days before the draft, Shai had just celebrated his 21st birthday.
Falk prepared a big cake for Shay that day, but Shay didn't eat a bite and distributed the cake to the hotel waiter.
Aside from talking on the phone with family members, Shay hardly did anything special on his birthday.
Still wake up early for training, then go back to the hotel to sleep.
Falk had never seen a young man so calm on the eve of the draft, but Shay was actually nervous as hell.
Now that he has been promoted so much, it would be very embarrassing if he was drafted in Waterloo.
NBA history is not without the embarrassing situation of being invited into the small green room, but the name was not read until the second round.
Shay is a Chinese after all, and the NBA has never had a Chinese player before, which may make teams distrust Shay.
These factors may make Shay's pick not as high as expected.
In order to keep himself from thinking about these things, Xie could only paralyze himself through training.
Instead of being in a hurry, it's better to train more and accumulate more experience points needed to upgrade.
Falk had expected Shai to be calm on the day of the draft, but when Shai sat in his seat, he was trembling with nervousness.
The NBA draft scene in the 90s was different from what it will be in the future.
During this period, the layout of the NBA draft scene was relatively simple, without so many fancy big screens.
The representatives of each team did not sit in the private rooms, but each had a table and sat directly on the stage.
Seeing the team representatives on the stage discussing non-stop and making phone calls, Shay's nervousness became even stronger.
I don't know if my fate will be changed by one of the calls.
"Don't be nervous. Didn't Mr. Falk say that too, it must be fine."
Dikembe Mutombo, who was also running, patted Shea on the shoulder.
Falk also smiled at Shay: "Well, it's impossible for something like falling into the second round to happen."
"That's right, if you all fall to the second round, then Mourning's level will not fail." Mutombo hurriedly answered.
Mourning:? ? ?
Why didn't you forget to bury me after graduation!
At the next table, seeing Shay so nervous, Larry Johnson smiled disdainfully:
"Heh, what are you nervous about? You don't have the pressure to be the champion. Unlike me, hey."
"Yeah, I don't have such a high-profile nickname as 'Auntie', so the pressure is not as great as yours." Shay countered with a smile.
The corners of Johnson's mouth twitched, and he stopped talking to Shay.
You can't fight, you can't spray.
Shay you're sick of it!
Falk found out that Shay was not nervous at all when he was competing with others.
Your kid's heart is just like a little head, it's just a matter of chance!
Finally, after a long wait, David Stern stepped onto the stage:
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 1991 NBA Draft!"
The choice of fate, officially begins!
The first pick, the Hornets with the No. 5 pick still have the last [-] minutes to make a decision.
After Stern stepped down, the small electronic clocks on the tables of each team began a 5-minute countdown.
On the stage, representatives of all the teams were on the phone, answering the phone, or having heated discussions.
To be honest, the draft in the 90s was more tense because it exposed the team's management directly to the public.
At the same time, NBC ace host Bob Costas began to analyze the current draft situation with the live TV audience.
"The number one pick, the most likely two are Aunt Larry Johnson and Shay."
Along with Costas' voice, the live footage also showed the two of them.
Larry Johnson, who said he was not nervous just now, is also serious now.
"Even though Shai crushed Larry Johnson in the March Madness tournament, Larry is still a very talented player.
Both of them are likely to be selected at the No. [-] position. It depends on whether the Hornets want an insider or a point guard. "
At this time, the official scouting reports of the two were also displayed on the TV and the big screen at the scene.
Shay's basic data surprised people, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 06 meters.
The inside line is 1 meters, and the point guard is 98 meters. Shay and Johnson are really two wonderful flowers.
Shai's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, and this is what the Hornets are struggling with.
After all, it was Shay and Larry Johnson Tavodzik who felt like their heads were about to explode.
A mere 5 minutes is an extremely long time for Shay and Johnson.
Shay felt like he had to wait for half an hour before the 5-minute countdown ended.
Finally, it's time to choose!
David Stern stepped onto the stage again, and he was probably the only one who could maintain a relaxed smile.
He opened the envelope in his hand, then approached the microphone:
"The first pick in the 1991 NBA draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected .
Larry Johnson, from UNLV! "
The moment Stern announced the result, Larry Johnson stood up excitedly and raised his arms high.
The fans at the scene also cheered.
Xie Yi sighed, isn't he the champion after all?
"It's okay Shay, sometimes the champion is not the strongest player." Falk comforted.
Johnson had prepared a 500-word essay to mock Shay, but the moment he was selected, his mind went blank.
The champion, 12 million in 1.1 years.
One hundred million, one hundred million, one life can never be spent!
Hahahahaha!
Johnson stepped onto the stage and took the Hornets baseball cap from David Stern.
Hornets general manager Tavodzik also let out a big sigh of relief. This was a difficult decision, and he was actually struggling in the last 10 seconds.
The reason why he finally chose Big Mom was mainly because Big Mom's technical shortcomings were not as big as Shay's.
In the NCAA, the aunt can abuse the frame, can shoot, has good skills, excellent athletic ability, and is more versatile.
Although Shay's template is a super giant like a magician, he is still a bit too serious.If he can't practice shooting in the future, the shortcomings will be too great.
Even though Big Mom has been chosen, Tavodzik is still not sure whether Shay or Big Mom will be better in the future.
He just felt that it would be safer to choose a more versatile aunt.
Seeing the Hornets pick Johnson, behind the Nets' desk, Carlisle made no secret of his excitement, throwing his arms high.
His movements were also captured live on TV:
"Looks like Shai is going to the Nets to play with Coleman, the No. [-] pick last year.
Nets assistant coach Carlisle is celebrating ahead of time, and he may have been more nervous than Shay just now. "
However, 5 minutes later, when Stern announced the Nets' choice, everyone heard an unbelievable name.
"The New Jersey Nets selected .
Kenny Anderson from Georgia Tech! "
Everyone was dumbfounded, Shai and Anderson were both point guards, and Anderson was beaten helplessly by Shai in March Madness.
As a result, the Nets did not choose the stronger one.
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Nets: This is the unique selection strategy of NBA Arkham Asylum~
In the audience, the fans of the Nets also booed, very dissatisfied with the management's choice.
They were all waiting to meet Magician II, but the team chose a 1-meter street player. What are you kidding?
It can only be said that the Nets have been the general hospital of the NBA Arkham Asylum since a long time ago!
Carlisle was also dumbfounded, because it was already agreed yesterday that he would choose Xie Yi: "What's the situation!? Shay's excellence, do you need to explain more!?"
Reid took it easy: "Shay is good, but Kenny Anderson's contract is more reasonable. Besides, Kenny is not weak."
"But didn't we all discuss yesterday that we should choose Xie!?"
"Yes, it was discussed yesterday, but I just changed my mind."
"What have I been doing all year!? We just missed out on perhaps the best player in this draft!"
Carlisle went crazy on the spot, he felt distrust, the team's distrust of him.
He just raised his arms and cheered stupidly just now, but the team didn't plan to choose Shay at all.
Seeing the quarrel between Carlisle and Reed, Costas, who hosted the show, also started to speak:
"Ao, the Nets seem to be full of disagreements about this choice.
Coach Carlisle seems very dissatisfied with the management's choice. How did they discuss it?
Now, it depends on whether the Kings will choose Shai.
If the Kings don't pick either, then Shai may be the most expected but most dropped player in this draft.
But this is also normal. When Drexler participated in the draft that year, he was also predicted to be selected in the top three, but in the end he fell to the 14th overall pick.
It can only be said that the draft is like this, anything can happen. "
Drexler: Don't whip, don't whip, I just lost to Danzi, can't I let go of my frustrated heart! ?
The Nets with the second overall pick also didn't pick Shay, which made Shay feel a little uncertain.
Because the Kings have always been the team with the most indifference to Shai in the top five.
The shot was also given to the small table of the Kings.
I don't know if it's a trick or he's really busy, but Kings general manager Jerry Reynolds has never put down the phone.
One call after another, before this call was hung up, another call was already waiting to be answered.
Their management members also seemed very nervous. The camera showed Shay and Owens. No one knew who would become the strongest prospect in 91 next.
"I know, I know, we are also very satisfied with Richmond. But now, I can't give you any answer, I have to answer the call from the Lakers!" Reynolds hung up the old Nelson's phone, and said from the assistant Picked up another phone receiver.
"Jerry, it's not that I don't give you face, but you know the chips of the Warriors. Jordan has said that Richmond is the best shooting guard other than him."
Invisibly, Drexler was breasted again.
Jerry West, the man behind the Lakers, didn't show up on the draft floor.
Because the Lakers have no first-round picks at all this year, there is no place for the Lakers on the scene.
West was not in a hurry, even though time was running out, he responded calmly:
"You listen to what Jordan says, he said before that North Carolina must win Georgetown.
Let me tell you, what Jordan said, you have to listen to it in reverse!
Since Richmond is so strong, how did Drexler make it to the finals?
And the Warriors' players have stats.
Old Nelson's fast offensive tactics allowed his team to have three players averaging over 20 points per game.
This is because the Warriors have many offensive rounds and many shots, so the data looks gorgeous.
As long as Richmond is asked to change teams, his statistics cannot be so good.
And the chips I gave you have gone through the test of the competition and have real honors!
Think for yourself, anyway, we are not in a hurry, and we are not desperate. "
West's tone was very calm, and he hoped to use this to put pressure on the opponent.
West did make a big decision to make this deal.
But he still hopes to reduce the bargaining chips of the transaction.
Before the phone was hung up, another phone of Kings general manager Reynolds rang again.
"I have to hang up Jerry, it must be the Warriors again. There is not much time, and I have to make a decision."
After all, Reynolds hung up the call from the Lakers and picked up the call from the Warriors:
"This is the last offer, Richmond for Owens, what are you still struggling with?
Richmond is the best shooting guard in the West, even better than Drexler. "
Well, some people seem to be in the draft even though they are not in the draft.
Drexler would never have imagined that there is him here too!
"make a deal!"
"make a deal!?"
"That's right, a deal! We'll help you win Drexler with the third pick, ah no, Billy Owens, and then you give me Richmond, a deal!" Reynolds couldn't take it anymore, In the end a decision was made.
"Very good, happy cooperation Reynolds!"
Old Nelson happily hung up the phone, Billy Owens finally arrived!
In fact, the Warriors played very well last season, and Richmond is also very suitable for the mad scientist's system.
But the mad scientist felt that the reason why the team failed to go further was because they lacked a point forward!
The point forward thing is a very new concept in this era, but the mad scientist is playing with a concept ahead of time.
Don't ask why he didn't choose Shai. Although Shai also meets the conditions of a point forward, the old Nelson's bombardment system requires everyone to shoot.
That's why Old Nelson aimed at Billy Owens.
With 20 seconds left on the countdown, Reynolds asked his assistant to write Billy Owens' name on the envelope.
The name had just been written, and when the countdown was still 15 seconds away, the phone in front of Reynolds rang again!
"Pick it up?" The assistant looked at Reynolds.
For Shay's side, when he saw Stern on stage again, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The Kings are his last chance to enter the top three in the draft. Although the draft pick does not represent a player's final achievement, Shai still wants to be selected in the top three.
Who wouldn't want to be a high pick?
David Stern walked onto the stage with a smile, opened the envelope from the Kings, and was stunned for a moment.
This.
Old Nelson heaved a sigh of relief, finally the dust settled.
As long as Billy Owens can play the expected state, the Warriors will definitely be able to go to the next level.
Who wants to play your ugly defensive basketball and positional offense and defense, what kind of defense can win the championship, I really don't believe it!
Stern froze for a moment, then approached the microphone again.
"The third pick in the first round in 1991, selected by the Sacramento Kings."
"Billy Owens!" Old Nelson said silently in his heart.
"Choose Shay, from Georgetown University!" What Stern said was completely different from what old Nelson thought in his heart!
"What!?" Old Nelson looked at Stern in surprise. Is that guy old and dizzy?
Isn't the deal already done? ?
To be honest, Stern almost thought that he was old and dizzy just now.
The reason why he was stunned just now was that Owens' name had been roughly crossed out in the envelope, and then Shay's name had been written on it again.
He had never seen such a choice tangled up to the last second.
However, Shay's entry into the top three is also the result that Stern wants to see.
He smiles even wider now.
Old Nelson glanced at Reynolds, only to find that Reynolds smiled apologetically at him.
Reynolds and old Nelson didn't have any grievances, so old Nelson was sure that Reynolds didn't deliberately play himself.
The reason why the guy promised himself but then backtracked can only prove one thing - West made a buzzer trade!
Both Shay and Falk were very surprised. The Kings, who were indifferent to themselves, finally chose themselves?
so.
I have really become the strongest Tanhua in 91! ?
91, Tanhua, what the hell.
It is destined that Shay will be a particularly tight player in the future!
Before Shay could react, Mutombo pushed Shay out: "Congratulations brother, you are the strongest in 91 Tanhua!"
Shay: .
Shay walked onto the stage under the eyes of everyone, and the fans in the stands cheered wildly.
It seems that Kings fans are still very optimistic about the team's choice.
"Shai got drafted by the Kings, so anything could happen in the draft.
Because as far as we know, the Kings haven't had much interest in Shai before.
Anyway, congratulations to Shay for being a top-three member of the draft.
He will also become the first Chinese player to play in the NBA!
The league is becoming more and more international now, let us look forward to Shay's wonderful performance in the NBA! "
Under the introduction of the on-site commentary, Shay stood on the stage, took the Kings hat, and shook hands with David Stern.
"I hope you can become a bridge of communication between China and Ugly, Xie." Stern has high hopes for Shay, not only at the basketball level, but also at the business level.
Shay nodded, too nervous to know what to say.
He took a photo with Stern, and the invited reporters from CCTV also frantically took pictures, freezing this historic moment.
After the group photo, Shay stepped off the stage. According to the procedure, he will go to the commentary stand for an interview.
But as soon as Shay stepped off the stage, he heard the system beep.
It seems that some reward has arrived.
But before I had time to watch it, I heard another deal announced on the spot!
When Xie Yi heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
This is when a transaction occurs.
Could it be that Lao Tzu was traded?
Does it have to be so exciting?
Xie Yi also looked at the big screen, and sure enough, his name appeared on it, as well as .
The logo of the Los Angeles Lakers!
"What!? It's not the Warriors, it's the Lakers!
The Lakers and Kings made a trade!
The Lakers actually sent last season's All-Star forward, 88 FMVP James Worthy and a 93 first-round pick, and got Shay from the Kings!
Shay, become a Laker!
And Magic Johnson actually predicted his own destiny three months ago!
The Lakers really chose Shai to take his place!
God, I've never heard rumors of the Lakers wanting to make a trade before.
Jerry West is a man who really does business quietly!
Although they lost the magician last season, they are still a strong team.
Unexpectedly, they actually replaced Shay with the star player!
Jerry West really does always do things that catch people off guard! "
When Shay was still dumbfounded, the staff immediately came up, took the Kings hat from Shay's hand, and handed him a Lakers hat.
Shay looked confused. In the original history, the Kings did change their No. [-] pick, but not with the Lakers.
Has the butterfly effect triggered by my arrival started to appear?
When Jerry West saw the bewildered Shay on TV, a stone fell from his heart.
Let's hope he didn't make the wrong decision this time.
But speaking of it, the Lakers didn't do similar things once or twice.
Robbery, isn't it the characteristic of the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Lakers have always been a team that is good at robbery.
Excluding Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in the Lakers' top three picks, both Magician and Worthy were selected by themselves.
But do you think the Lakers got the No. [-] pick by playing badly?
No, the way they got the No. [-] pick is enough to be included in the team's operating textbook.
In 77, the Lakers let go of the guard Old Goodrich for a while, and Goodrich joined the Jazz.
Although Goodrich signed the Jazz freely, there were regulations in the league at the time that free signing veterans had to use draft picks to compensate their home team.
The Jazz gave the Lakers three draft picks as compensation, one of which was the 79 round pick.
In the second year, the Jazz were 26 wins and 56 losses, the lowest in the league.
The Lakers used the No. [-] pick that originally belonged to the Jazz to select Magic Johnson.
In 80, the Lakers traded Don Ford for Cavaliers rookie Butch Lee and the 82 first-round pick.
In the 81-82 season, the Cavaliers had 15 wins and 67 losses, ranking last in the league.
Now the Lakers themselves are confused, damn it. Why is it the No. [-] pick again! ?
I only won the championship the year before, how can I still get the No. [-] lottery after winning the championship?Can I still get one free?
If you want to do this, I will not be polite!
In the end, as we all know, the Lakers used this No. [-] pick to win James Worthy.
The three champion combinations that swept through the 80s took shape.
Many people say that the Lakers are just so lucky, so lucky that smoke is rising from their ancestors' graves.
In the two transactions, both times the cat met the dead mouse and got the number one lottery.
However, regardless of the luck factor, this is actually the great side of the Lakers management.
This kind of greatness is called brave choice!
This was the style of the Lakers management at that time. They were far-sighted, not procrastinating, and they would definitely make a move when it was time to make a change.
For the future of the Lakers, for the brilliant Zijin that will never fade.They are decisive, brave and decisive.
Well, this also sets off the future Lakers management quite brain-dead.
And the transaction that just happened seems to be a replica of the usual operation of the Lakers.
They traded James Worthy, the Lakers' strongest player outside of Magic.
Worthy was also selected to the best third team last season, was selected as an All-Star, and once won a championship with the team.
Using him in exchange for a third overall pick and taking Shay, this is not everyone has the courage.
Of course, whether West's deal is a success, whether it is a robbery or not, it is not yet possible to jump to conclusions.
After all, Shai hasn't proved himself yet, and he may not be able to restore the Lakers to glory like the previous Magician or Worthy.
But whether successful or not, Stern is very happy.
Xie Yi, the representative of international players entering the NBA, is a stepping stone to the Chinese market.
The Los Angeles Lakers, the most high-profile and most gorgeous team in the NBA.
When these two combinations are combined together, it is simply a big murderer with long legs, the best!
Stern can wake up with a smile even in his dreams!
Jerry West was still frowning. To be honest, he didn't know whether his decision was correct.
The reason why the Lakers and the Kings reached a deal at the last minute is that the main dispute lies in the 93 first-round pick in the bargaining chip.
At first, the Logo man was only willing to offer James Worthy.
Worthy is a superb assistant, a magician's best partner.
But after the magician retired last season, the results of the Lakers also proved that Worthy is not the kind of star player who can stand alone.
That's why the Logo man decided to trade Worthy.
Worthy has indeed contributed to the team and shed blood for the team.
But professional basketball is so cruel.
A 30-year-old three-team forward, this kind of immediate combat power is exactly what the Kings want.
Therefore, Logo hardly expected the deal to go well.
Who knows, an old Nelson came out halfway, and offered a younger Richmond with better statistics as soon as he came up.
The Logo man respects old Nelson, but he feels that old Nelson has really lost his mind in this deal.
The Kings took the opportunity to raise the price to the Lakers. They wanted to get the Lakers' first-round pick next year while getting Worthy.
The first-round draft picks in 92 and 93 were very valuable, and the players who may participate in these two years are all famous.
Sharks, Laettner, Mourning, Jim Jackson, Chris Webber, Anfernee Hardaway, Jamal Mashburn, etc.
Each of them is a genius who became famous at a young age.
To be honest, the lineup of the 91 draft is very likely to be the worst in the past three years.
And the Lakers are destined to decline without the magician, so the pick may not be low.
The Kings not only want immediate combat power, but also want to collect potential stocks together.
At first, the Logo man didn't want to take the pick.
The picks of 92 and 93 are too valuable. In case the Lakers really fail, there are still picks to cover the bottom line.
Seeing that the Lakers were unwilling to give out draft picks, the Kings finally decided to trade with the Warriors for Richmond.
It wasn't until the last 15 seconds that Logo decided to take a 93-year draft pick while dropping Worthy.
Blame old Nelson!
Without him, the Kings still want draft picks?Let them play boogers!
The reason why the Lakers have been sneaky and have not leaked the news is that they don't want the other party to know their plan and take the opportunity to raise the price.
As a result, Old Nelson's knife cut the Logo man very painfully.
In this wave, old Nelson inadvertently gave the king a divine assist, and he didn't benefit from it.
The 92 draft pick Logo Man still chooses to keep it. Although the Lakers will not completely fail, if Shay fails, the Lakers will be able to stop losses in time at the draft next year.
Everything should be prepared with both hands, that's right.
And just like that, a 15-second deal was made.
So don't think 15 seconds is too short, 15 seconds is enough to do a business worth hundreds of millions!
And Shay didn't know what was going on behind the scenes at this time.
He froze in place, looking at the Lakers baseball cap in his hand, completely confused.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, Shay couldn't have imagined that he would eventually go to the Lakers.
Because before, the Lakers never had any communication and contact with themselves.
By the way, during the last joint trial training, Michael Cooper sneaked up on the scene.
Could it be that the Lakers started planning at that time?
At the urging of the staff, Shay put on a Lakers cap and went to sit behind the commentary table.
Costas looked at the bewildered Shay with a grin, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Relax lad, I know this is unexpected but... welcome to the NBA, this is professional basketball!
So now you're a Laker, really taking over the mantle of Magic Johnson.
what do you think now "
Shay shook his head and took a deep breath:
"I'm excited and will do my best to bring out the best in me no matter which team I'm in.
I have a lot of respect for magicians, but I still want to be myself.
I don't want to be the next one, I just want to be the strongest Shay. "
Nonsense, does Shay dare to be the next magician?
Not everyone can bear the excitement of having children.
"Hahahaha, well said, be your strongest self.
But Lakers fans will definitely compare you to Magic, after all, the template on your scouting report is Magic.
The magician cast the glory of the Lakers in the 80s.
Does his achievement bring you pressure?
Moreover, the Lakers exchanged you with veteran James Worthy.
So other rookies may just need to be themselves, but the Lakers fans must be eager for you to lead the team to achieve some results.
can you do it? "
"It's a little stressful, but not overwhelming.
As for winning, is it possible that I went to the Lakers to lose? "
Shay's self-confidence made many Lakers fans who watched the live broadcast feel better.
I hope you boy can do what he says.
When seeing Worthy being traded, many Lakers fans refused in their hearts.
Worthy is very popular in Los Angeles, after all, he is the veteran of the Showtime championship.
Although in 90, Worthy was phishing for law enforcement because of whoring, and he called room service, but two plainclothes women were called, which caused the collapse of the human set.
But Lakers fans still love him.
Worthy: Can it be my fault?The magician taught me to run and attack, but this alone didn't teach me well!
Many Lakers fans are still scolding the team.
Fortunately, there is no internet these days, otherwise there must be a lot of posts scolding the logo man on the internet.
But a done deal, now that Worthy has been sent away, the Lakers fans must have high hopes for Shay.
You boy better be worth the price the Lakers pay!
It is said that Shay is a Chinese magician. Unexpectedly, the Lakers really got him here.
The talent show has just started, and I have given everyone a surprise.
After the interview, Shay left the commentary stand and prepared to return to the rest area.
But on the way back, Shay was stopped by a few people with Asian faces.
"Xie, we are reporters from CCTV, can you accept our interview?"
The leader with the microphone waved at Shay, who recognized him immediately.
Isn't this Director Zhang who hasn't changed his name yet?
Director Zhang was still in American in 90.
If I remember correctly, he should now be working in the financial department of the University of Chicago.
A few years later, he will become the senior manager of the sales department of China Tsingtao Brewery Uganda Agency.
That's right, Director Zhang's life is so tortuous.
Worked as a national team coach, bound the feet of NCAA college players, sold beer, and then worked as a commentator
Because he had the experience of coaching a national team before and knew more about the NBA, CCTV contacted him to help with the interview.
Seeing a familiar person, Shay smiled.
In this foreign country, it is not easy to meet a few fellow countrymen.
"Director Zhang!"
"Ah? You've heard my story?" Director Zhang was flattered. He thought he had disappeared for so long since he came to American, and no one remembered him.
"Your eyes are full of stories! Don't talk about it, start the interview!"
Seeing that Xie Yi was so enthusiastic, everyone was quite surprised.
After all, most of the selected players have already played big names before going to the NBA.
But Shay was different. He was very kind.
Larry Johnson: Shay is nice?It was all an illusion, an illusion!
The CCTV reporter asked Shay several questions, but the most important one was whether he would participate in the Olympic Games next summer.
Regarding this question, Shay said that as long as the country recruits him, he will definitely go.
Chinese basketball from 90 to 10 can still be saved.
With the end of the interview, Shay's reputation will soon start in the country.
And Shay didn't know that joining the Lakers himself would make Director Zhang many years in advance and become a loyal Laker honey.
Finally back in the rest area, Mutombo happily came up and hugged Shay.
"Congrats buddy, you're going to the big city!"
"I don't know if going to Los Angeles is good or bad." Shay laughed.
Going to the Lakers to play, the exposure must be very high.
But again, the error tolerance rate is also small.
In other places, such as the Hornets playing games, you can swipe your data unscrupulously and play how you want.
Anyway, not many people read it.
But in the Lakers, your every move will be under a magnifying glass.
But if something is not done well, it will be exaggerated by the media.
Shay also found that Falk was on the phone with his big phone.
It is estimated that the Lakers called and are discussing the contract.
It is not difficult to see from the expression that Falk was also a little surprised by this transaction.
Before Falk hung up the phone, another client, Dikembe Mutombo, had already been called by Stern.
Like the original history, Mutombo went to Denver Plateau with the fourth pick in the first round.
An enthusiastic old man who chases others and insists on eating hot pot is about to show his enthusiasm in the NBA.
But speaking of it, even Shay, who was killed a year ago, would never have imagined that his final pick was actually higher than the team boss Mutombo!
It is true that life is impermanent, and the large intestine wraps the small intestine.
With the fifth overall pick, the Heat had no choice but to select Steve Smith, while Billy Owens fell directly to the sixth overall pick.
It can be called the man who fell the worst in this draft.
Nelson Sr. finally traded Richmond for Owens as he wished.
Years later, when Nelson Sr. was coaching the Mavericks, he didn't know how he would feel when he saw Richmond again.
The tears shed at that time are all the water in his mind now.
Richmond's replacement for Owens is definitely the biggest mistake of Nelson's career.
There are some things that feel good until you get them.
But after getting it, I found out that's not the case.
So far, the most interesting choices in this year's draft are over.
Shai's trade to the Lakers is undoubtedly the most unexpected thing in this year's draft.
Everyone in Carlisle was stupid. He talked earnestly for a long time, but the team chose Kenny Anderson.
Moreover, Shay was picked away by the Logo man, which made Carlisle feel worthless.
Why did the Lakers choose Shai?That is to think that Shay can be the next magician.
Obviously we have a chance to choose the next super giant!
There is nothing wrong with the Hornets picking Larry Johnson, but the second-ranked Nets actually missed Shai, making Shai fall to third!
Carlisle felt that this draft was very similar to 84.
Isn't this the same old way that the Blazers missed Jordan? The script is exactly the same!
Looking at it in the future, both the champion and Tanhua have become talents, so the second place is a waste!
Carlisle was angry, very angry.
He felt that all his efforts were in vain, how could there be such a brain-dead management.
That being the case, in the past year, I might as well have made two babies at home with my wife!
After the draft, all the lottery picks went to the press conference hall.
But it was not an interview, but a photo with David Stern.
The 91st class officially entered the league!
After the group photo was over, Falk drove Mutombo and Shay back to the hotel.
In the hotel room, Falk explained the details of the transaction to Shay in detail.
And told Shay that the Lakers also accepted his 7-year 4100 million contract with a player option in 95.
And Jerry West has only one request: "Let the Lakers remain competitive and at least make it to the playoffs!"
For a rookie, this is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
If Shay can't meet the requirements, God knows where he will be thrown into the back of the country.
Anyway, Jerry West is very decisive in making deals.
Scratch the prize, if you get a "thank you", you can throw it away.
I thought they were all like warriors, and Wiseman had already scratched out "Thank you for your patronage", so let's leave it alone.
The Logo man couldn't wait to see Shay, so Falk had to take Shay straight to Los Angeles tomorrow.
Falk told Shay not to get too excited and rest early.
Shay nodded, the pressure of playing for the Lakers is really great.
But there is pressure to be motivated.
Lying on the field, looking at Mutombo who had fallen asleep, Shay finally opened the system interface that he had been thinking about.
When he was just selected, Shay heard the system beep, but never had a chance to check it.
As soon as he opened it now, Shay saw a reward prompt: "Rewards for the top three in the draft!"
Good guy, there are rewards for the top three in the draft.
It's a credit that the Lakers decided to add a draft pick to trade themselves, otherwise I would have made a mistake of [-] million.
After opening the reward, Shay found that the reward was not the player essence, but a badge directly:
"Badge: stab brother twice for victory."
Shay:? ? ?
The name of this badge doesn't look very serious at first glance!
In fact, I came out to hang out because of three things: being cowardly, not being loyal, and betraying my brothers.
Also, why doesn't this badge show quality?
I don't know if it's bronze or gold.
Curious, Shay hurriedly looked at the effect description of this badge:
"When your teammates are abused, you vow to avenge them.
The degree of slowing down of physical energy consumption is positively related to the degree of abuse of teammates. Before the start of each game, only one teammate can be designated to activate the badge effect, and it cannot be changed.
During the game, if any teammate is injured by the criminal and leaves the field, the state will be overwhelmed on the spot, and all attributes will be temporarily +5 until the end of the game! "
In other words, the worse the designated teammates are abused, the more energetic Shay will be!
If he was intentionally injured, Shay would take off directly!
Really Sacrifice teammates, perfect yourself!
No wonder there is no quality difference in this badge, because the quality depends entirely on the performance of teammates.
I have to say, this badge is really inappropriate!
But Shay also really liked it.
Such inappropriate things, please come more!
Why didn't he get this badge earlier, Mourning's previous abuse was for nothing!
With an inappropriate badge and the identity of 91's strongest agent, Xie Yi fell asleep contentedly.
I don't know what my Lakers career will be like.
The first update of 1.5 words is here!Don't say anything, I will kneel down and beg for support!Thank you everyone!
