NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 58 The dust has settled!

"Hey, Lee, hello, nice to meet you!" O'Neill grinned, showing his white teeth, and stretched out his big hand across Leitner.

"Hello, O'Neill, I'm glad to meet you too!" Li Shengli also extended his hand.

Two big hands clasped tightly in front of Leitner's chest, and Leitner was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, this was simply ignoring his existence, thinking about whether to change seats to sit with Mourning, but the aloof Mo Ning Ning didn't even look at him, as if nothing happened.

"God. Li, I have to say that although Asians are generally poor in physique, you are stronger than I imagined!" O'Neal tilted his head and said to Li Shengli through Laettner.

"Thank you, and you too!" Li Shengli replied.

This is O'Neill?

Looks like a nice person!

Li Shengli thought that O'Neill would be a crazy master, but now he seemed very friendly, and the two chatted across Laettner who was on the verge of collapse.

In fact, in the final analysis, O'Neill's friendship is because Li Shengli is indeed capable.

Everyone is an adult, and both of them are the top insiders of this session. They usually have no festivities, and naturally there is no need to be on the verge of swords and swords when they come up. The chat between the two subconsciously avoided the topic of this draft.

After all...the two of them have no idea who will win the No. [-] pick.

After waiting for a while, as NBA Commissioner David Stern took the stage, the scene fell silent instantly, and the selection meeting finally... officially started!

"Gentlemen and ladies, on behalf of the NBA, I would like to welcome you all. It is the annual draft again, and we have welcomed a lot of new players. I believe that with the injection of these fresh blood, the NBA will be even more exciting in the future." ..." David Stern's routine started, but the applause from the audience was still warm.

……

domestic at this time.

In a few months, because of Li Shengli's appearance, domestic TV stations' live broadcasts of the NBA progressed rapidly, and CCTV Sports Channel began its first live broadcast to test the waters.

Although due to the time difference, the live broadcast time was seven o'clock in the morning, but the effect was surprisingly good, and the ratings continued to rise.

At the same time, in the village of Li Shengli's hometown, the village head led people to beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers early in the morning, and brought Li Shengli's parents to the brigade headquarters. All the villagers surrounded the black and white TV set in the brigade.

"It's amazing, the boys from Lao Li's family are really promising, and they have all gone to the United States. Look, they are still on TV now!"

"Damn it, I realized early on that Shengli is not a mortal. Sure enough... You see, this is the good Fengshui of our village!"

"I heard that Shengli has made a lot of money, he can earn 1 yuan a year!"

"Fuck off, you ignorant bumpkin, I just inquired, this kid can at least earn... [-] a year!"

"My dear, this is too much money, right? No, I have to let my two boys follow Shengli to play ball too!"

The villagers felt a little dizzy, you know... They worked hard for a year, and they only earned four to five thousand at the top. For a while, everyone looked at Li Shengli's parents with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Li Shengli's parents are honest people. Hearing everyone's congratulations, they just smiled awkwardly and didn't say much.

Earn [-] a year?

My son earns more fractions than this!

……

At this time, the eyes of audiences all over the country are focused on the NBA Draft that is far away in the ocean.

"I announce that the Orlando Magic, with the first pick in the first round, selected from..." David Stern received the note from the staff, and deliberately sold a pass, and at this moment... no matter what Whether on the scene or in front of the TV, the audience all held their breath.

"Orlando Magic, the selection is Shaq O'Neal from the University of Louisiana!"

No. [-] pick, Shaq O'Neal!

In an instant, the audience erupted with cheers and screams, and O'Neal excitedly got up and walked onto the stage, shook hands with David Stern, and put on a cap that belonged to the Orlando Magic.

……

Before the start of the draft, all the prediction lists compared O'Neal and Li Shengli as the No. [-] pick, but now... the dust has settled, and O'Neal has successfully won the No. [-] pick.

O'Neill is the No. [-] pick?

Hearing David Stern's voice, Li Shengli didn't know what it was like in his heart. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.

He doesn't care about honor or not. The key is the contract and the money. Who would have trouble with money?

"I announce that the Charlotte Hornets have selected Lee from...East Carolina University with the second overall pick in the first round!" With David Stern's announcement, there was another round of warm applause at the scene.

O'Neill won the No. [-] pick. Obviously...the No. [-] place is nothing to guess. Li Shengli deserved it. He stood up and shook hands with David Stern.

The second overall pick?

To be honest, Li Shengli is quite satisfied with this result. Although he missed the No. [-] pick in the draft, the draft pick does not represent the player's future development. In Thompson's words... I still have a long way to go in the future. Entering the NBA through the draft is just a first step!

……

"The Minnesota Timberwolves, with the third pick in the first round, selected Alonzo Mourning from...Georgetown University!"

The third pick in the draft also appeared, and Mourning was elected.

If O'Neal hadn't overwhelmed the crowd and Li Shengli was born, this tough guy and pure man would definitely be qualified to be the No. [-] pick in the draft. All the pre-conference draft lists also gave him a high evaluation.

Although his physical strength is also very strong, this is not the reason why he is highly praised by the outside world, but... that bloody blood is what makes him have enough capital to compete in the NBA arena!

……

"The Dallas Mavericks, with the fourth pick in the first round, select Christian Laettner from...Duke University!"

As the strongest four-member team in this year's draft, Leitner ranked fourth overall, apparently not even a green leaf... But for this result, Leitner probably guessed this result before the meeting, and he didn't feel disappointed!

……

So far, the four popular inside players in this draft have been assigned.And then, David Stern continued to announce the results of the first round of the draft.

It is worth mentioning that……

The temporary teammate of the joint trial training, Doug Christie was taken by the Seattle SuperSonics with the No.17 pick in the first round.

And Joan Barry, who has a close relationship with Li Shengli, was also a first-round pick. The No. 20 first pick was taken by the Boston Celtics.

As for the remaining second-round picks, Li Shengli didn't pay much attention.
