Chapter 24 Here comes the paper!pen! (ask for a recommendation ticket)
On the day of the draft, the theater was full of excitement. No one could have imagined that the players participating in the draft today would become a sensation in the future, and even change the entire NBA league.

After everyone was almost here, an amiable old man stood in the center of the stage.

This old man is none other than David Stern, the commissioner of the NBA. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the NBA Draft at the WAMU Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York!"

Stern raised his voice and said loudly, today he is very happy.

Then he continued: "The draft kicked off the NBA 1996-1997 season, which will be the best season in history! Today is the day these 60 players dream of, and becoming a member of the NBA is their hard training. return."

Feng Yi was guarding the basketball cap and T-shirt in the background. Although he didn't know what was going on at the scene, just listening to Stern's speech, his heart was filled with excitement, and the blood in his whole body felt like it was about to boil .

After finishing his opening remarks, Stern was silent for a while, and then continued: "There are still 5 minutes before the draft officially begins. Please wait patiently, thank you." After speaking, Stern went to backstage.

After 5 minutes, Stern walked out of the backstage with a smile, "Thank you for waiting, the draft is about to begin!"

Feng Yi was listening in the background, and couldn't help saying: "It's okay, it's okay, you're welcome, let's start!"

Then Stern picked up the draft list on the table, adjusted the microphone, and said solemnly: "I will announce that the No. 1996 pick in the [-] draft is..."

Suddenly the whole theater cheered!

And Feng Yi imitated Stern in the background and said: "1996 Draft - 1st round - 1. Philadelphia Allen Iverson Allen Iverson 2. Toronto Marcus Camby Marcus Camby 3. Vancouver Shareef Abdur -Rahim Sharif Abdul Rahim 4. Milwaukee Stephon Marbury 5. Minnesota Ray Allen Ray-”

You know, when Feng Yi was in college in 2020, he memorized the 1996 draft list when he had nothing to do in class, so that it would be more convenient for him to make reasonable transactions when he was playing NBA2K.

So he couldn't be more familiar with the results of the 1996 draft.

While he was still enjoying himself, a player walked over from the stage.He said as he walked, "Excuse me, are the basketball caps and T-shirts here?"

Feng Yi, who heard the voice, quickly looked over.

As soon as the player and Feng met, both of them were surprised.

They said in unison: "It's you!"

But Feng Yi was not too surprised, he knew that the first one to walk in would definitely be Iverson. "Iverson, long time no see!"

"Feng, long time no see. With your kind words, I am now the champion! It's incredible!" Iverson became more and more excited.

After Feng heard it, he also smiled and congratulated: "Yes, Iverson! Your era has begun! Work hard, I will always support you!"

"Thank you, thank you, my brother." Iverson was excited.

While Feng Yi was speaking, he gave Iverson his own basketball cap and T-shirt.

After Iverson took it, he was ready to be interviewed by reporters.

At this time, Feng Yi seemed to think of something, and he quickly said: "Iverson, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Iverson stopped in his tracks.

Feng quickly took out a notebook and a pen from his pocket, "Come, come, sign your name before leaving!"

"Haha, no problem! My brother! You are quite prepared." Iverson said, and began to sign.

That's for sure!

I have missed it several times before, so I must be fully prepared for such a big scene this time!

What's more, this is your first pick in the NBA.

Feng Yi thought about it, and couldn't help but cheer up.

After Iverson signed, he left.

Then, many players came from the stage one after another.

Looking at these future bigwigs, Feng Yi accepted all of their first NBA picks.

Among them, the one Feng Yi admired the most was Marbury, the fourth pick. After Marbury signed his name, he said with a smile: "Hey, Marbury, learn about Chinese culture and customs early, and you will learn more about Chinese culture in the future." In love with China!"

Immediately after was Ray Allen, the fifth pick. He said nothing to Ray Allen, but said: "When transferring, we must give priority to the Celtics and the Heat!"

Then there is the No.13 pick, and this No.13 pick is none other than Kobe!

After seeing Kobe again, Feng Yi chatted with Kobe, and after Kobe finished signing, he said seriously: "Kobe! Never doubt yourself, you must remember that the Lakers are a good home !"

After a series of players came down, each page of Feng Yi's small book had a signature.

He looked at the precious virgin lottery and smirked.

If he was lucky enough to travel back again, the value of this book would be enough to feed his family for three generations.

After the draft, Feng Yi went to the person in charge to collect 50 dollars, then left the theater and went back to the hotel.

On the way back, don't mention how happy he was, but after being happy for a long time, sadness came from it.

Feng Yi couldn't help thinking of himself. According to his own time in college, he should have participated in the NBA draft in 1998.

But with his current level, whether he can be selected at that time is another matter.

Thinking of Iverson, Marbury, and Kobe who have realized their dreams one by one, Feng Yi felt a little envious.

He let out a long sigh, and said to himself: "Looking at the fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat and make a net."

After speaking, he hurried back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Carter was still studying. It seemed that the temptation of studying was too great for Carter.

After sitting on his own bed, Feng Yi looked at the signature on his little book, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

On the cover of the book, he titled this autographed collection First Blood!

Next to the first page of the book, he wrote down his name in a chic manner.

A few days later, after the tide of the draft passed, American fans gradually shifted their attention to the NCAA finals.

The scouts also started paying attention.

But before the start of the finals, Feng Yi received a call from someone who was none other than Jojoch.

"Huh? Jokic, how did you know my phone number?" Feng Yi asked curiously.

After listening, Jokic explained on the phone: "Because you have now started to win my attention!"

On the other side, Carter also received a similar call.

It seems that Feng Yi and Carter are finally going to shine!
And on the day of the game, some reporters had already started interviewing them before the game...
