Chapter 45 45. Draft.
After finalizing his agent, Qin Xiong immediately returned to the United States and signed up for the 2003 NBA draft.

Although many people had guessed that Qin Xiong would participate in this year's NBA draft, when the NBA officially released the news, the entire league was shaken.

Countless media reported that Qin Xiong was about to participate in the draft, some spontaneously, and some secretly promoted by Schwartz.

In short, momentum is built up!

Many media are reporting on Qin Xiong and choosing a template for Qin Xiong, but unfortunately, the NBA does not seem to have a template for Qin Xiong, which is a bit sad...

There is a reason why Qin Xiong doesn't have a template!
His playing style is incompatible with today's NBA winning by hand-to-hand combat. He rarely goes deep inside, but he can dominate the game with three-pointers.

There has never been a player like this in NBA history.

Therefore, a lot of media who don't think it's a big deal have given Qin Xiong'an a nondescript template-the lower limit is Ray Allen, and the upper limit is the enhanced version of Reggie Miller.

Such a statement quickly spread in the American media circle, causing Qin Xiong to offend the two big shots before entering the NBA.

God damn media!
To be honest, the American media is unwilling to praise Qin Xiong, but they can't ignore Qin Xiong's existence. After all, he defeated Syracuse University led by NCAA Jordan in the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament, scoring much higher than NCAA Jordan.

They can't open their eyes and talk nonsense, can they?After all, this is what happened on American soil!

Therefore, they can't belittle Qin Xiong, just praise Qin Xiong to death, praise Qin Xiong high, and then pull Qin Xiong down again when they have a chance.This method is played very smoothly by the media people, it has a nice name-Praise and Kill!

There are also some media who have taken a different approach. They all admit that Qin Xiong's offense is very good, but his defensive ability has not yet been verified-it is true that there is no outstanding second position against Qin Xiong in the NCAA tournament this season. All of them played against Qin Xiong Without exception, Qin Xiong's No. [-] position was blown away!

The only Marquette University shooting guard Dwyane Wade who could pose a threat to Qin Xiong was eliminated by the University of Kansas in the semifinals again!

Therefore, Qin Xiong's defensive ability has not been really tested so far.

The media's statement is not unreasonable. Qin Xiong laughed after reading the media's report, so what if the whole world says so?Anyway, things are over, can you still turn the game upside down?
……

After returning to the United States, Qin Xiong started arduous training, mainly weight training.At present, he is only 82kg, which is nothing in the NCAA field, and he has to finish playing in the NBA.

A single collision from someone can kill half of his life!

Schwartz, the agent, is not just eating dry food. After returning to the United States, he first found a trainer for Qin Xiong to guide Qin Xiong in training every day, and he paid for the expenses first.

Although Qin Xiong was not short of the money, but Schwartz was willing to do so and Qin Xiong didn't stop him. This was Schwartz's way of showing favor, and Qin Xiong didn't have to refuse.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed, Qin Xiong successfully gained 3kg, and he looked much stronger.

On May 5, the NBA lottery ceremony was held in Madison Square Garden in New York. The Cleveland Cavaliers, the vice-president with the last record in the regular season, successfully won the No. 22 lottery.

The whole of Cleveland is boiling, because they can choose any super talent of this year, whether it is LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony, who are well-known in high school, or Qin Xiong, who has become so popular in recent months, as long as they You can take it if you want.

The Grizzlies, who had the sixth-worst record in the regular season, got the second pick, which made the entire league feel uneasy, and the Grizzlies management also felt embarrassed.Because the Grizzlies' first-round pick this season had already been traded to the Pistons with Thorpe's trade six years ago.

In other words, this season's No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference won the second pick, which made many teams in the league feel uneasy.Because no matter James, Anthony, or Qin Xiong have the strength of the No. [-] pick, that is to say, the Pistons are equivalent to getting a No. [-] lottery!

The management of the Pistons couldn't help grinning from ear to ear. The Grizzlies were sixth last this season and actually won the second pick. I don't know if the Grizzlies are too unlucky or the Pistons are too lucky!

In short, the league president David Stern's face is not very good.

Except for the Grizzlies who jumped the line, the other picks and the team's regular season rankings have not changed much.

The Nuggets got the No. 4 pick, and the Raptors got the No. 5 pick.The Clippers and the Heat have switched positions, the Heat's No. 6 pick, the Clippers' No. 7 pick, and the Bulls' No. [-] pick...

The NBA playoffs are in full swing. This season, many people want to see the Lakers open up a new realm after the Bulls' dynasty, such as four consecutive championships.

But everyone was disappointed.

The Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, and their dream of four consecutive championships was shattered.Bryant's knee injury, O'Neal alone, the Spurs eliminated the Lakers to advance to the finals.

Qin Xiong watched all the subsequent games, and the Spurs GDP led by Duncan defeated the Nets led by Kidd and successfully won the championship.

Qin Xiong was training during this period. Although many teams invited him to try out, he and his agent Schwartz didn't take it seriously.

Just kidding, as the super genius who beat Jordan in the NCAA, does he still need to try out?

Well, in fact, trial training is not impossible, but Schwartz suggested that Qin Xiong should not go, and just continue training behind closed doors.Anyway, the impression he gives people is still the radiant Jack at the Staples Center, the omnipotent Super Jack.

Even if Qin Xiong doesn't go to the trial training, the NBA teams with the top picks don't dare to take it lightly, because Qin Xiong has already proved himself!

On the other hand, Qin Xiong's teammate Kyle Korver, although this guy is handsome, but the NBA team doesn't sell his face, he has to go to the trial training honestly.

But because he is the main small forward of the championship team, his treatment is much better than that of ordinary players, which saves a lot of unnecessary expenses and can also get enough rest time...

On the morning of June 6, the 27 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks.

This draft is considered to be the most high-quality draft year in recent years. Many players already have the model of superstars, such as LeBron James, who has appeared in magazines such as "Slam Dunk" and "ESPN" several times. He has "NCAA Jordan" Carmelo Anthony, known as Jack, a super shooter and outside master.

There are also some high-quality players such as Chris Bosh, Chris Kaman and the unrecognized Dwyane Wade...

Qin Xiong was invited into the small green room of the talent show, and his parents also came from abroad to accompany him at this critical moment.In addition to his parents, his table also includes agent Jeff Schwartz, Blue Jays coach McDermott, and Korver who was invited by Qin Xiong to mix in.

Korver was originally not eligible to enter the small green room, but Qin Xiong has come in, will he make his team's big brother wait outside?

Although the draft site is called the Small Green Room, the area is not small at all, and more than a dozen tables are more than enough. In addition, there are a large number of reporters in the Small Green Room with cameras and video cameras to film every move of the players on site.

In short, the scene looks high-end and elegant.
