Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 7 Draft Night
"Danny, old friend, old classmate, you must help me this time! Trade the fifth pick in your hand to us, and I will be responsible for finding another All-Star player for you!"

"Why do you want the lottery in my hand? What news did you receive? Why are so many people looking for me to trade the lottery recently?"

"Here, I said, are you sure you will trade it to me?"

"I, how can I promise you this!"

"Then I won't say it if you don't agree, Jason Williams, how about changing your first-round pick?"

"Are you..."

***
"I'll just put the words here, except for Iguodala, you can choose whatever you want in the 76ers, as long as you agree to give me your No. [-] pick!"

"You, OMG, God, you, don't talk about trading chips, are you unwilling to tell me such little news?"

***
"What should we do? General Manager Hammond, they have been making a lot of noise recently! Will the sixth pick in our hand not be enough to win Yi?"

"Don't worry! I've already solved this problem, just wait for Kan Yi to put on our Bucks cap and shake hands with President David!"

***
Three days before the draft, the trading market was in a strange state. Many general managers of teams with low first-round picks traded unanimously. When choosing the name of the newcomer, these guys shut their mouths tightly, no matter how much they asked, they just didn't say a word.

Many media have naturally noticed this strange phenomenon. ESPN, TNT and some well-known sports stations in the United States have sent their own backbones to try to dig out the truth as soon as possible.

But what I didn't expect was that no matter how well-connected this group of reporters was, the reply they got this time was no comment.

The general managers of these teams have all issued death orders. Anyone who dares to leak the secret of choosing Yi Jianlian must be investigated to the end and will not be forgiven lightly.

In this weird atmosphere, the last three days finally passed.

The suspense is still unresolved, and the 07 NBA draft also gained a little more attention because of this incident.

Everyone is very curious, who is the player who makes the general managers of these teams with low picks so crazy to trade high picks?
***
The draft in 07 was held in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, and Yi Jianlian was invited into the small green room as the big favorite of the draft.

The Little Green Room represents honor in the American Sports Draft. In the NBA draft, being a member of the Little Green Room at least means being favored by many general managers!

After all, whether a rookie can enter the small green room is determined by the votes of all the general managers of the NBA. The league then arranges the order through these votes and sends invitations to those rookies who are the most popular in the lottery area.

Yi Jianlian made history unintentionally. This is the first Chinese in NBA history to appear on the scene of the draft.

His step can be regarded as a big step for Huaxia basketball in the NBA.

Although in the next n years, there will be no second one.But once everything is painted, it will be sooner or later to add a horizontal line below.

***
Yi Jianlian and Dan Feigen walked to the table with their names on them and sat down. They looked around twice. Kevin Durant, Oden, Jeff Green, all of them were on TV in their previous lives. Familiar faces.Just sitting under the stage with such a nervous expression, waiting for Stern to announce their fate.

It was also at this moment that Yi Jianlian really felt the depths of the NBA. Any player on the scene now has the ability to become the main force in the CBA, but in the NBA, he can't even count as hair, even if all of this group has no It doesn't matter if you become a talent, because at the same time next year, there will be another batch of the same young talents sitting here waiting for their own destiny.

This is the energy of the highest-level basketball league, which allows countless basketball talents to come here one after another to be tested.

***
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2007 NBA draft. A new No. 60 pick will be born here tonight. Tonight, [-] rookies will enter the NBA and continue to chase their basketball dreams!"

"Let us wait and see the specific results!"

As the most well-known sports platform in the United States, ESPN also broadcast the show live. As the host's voice fell, the lights in the entire theater went dark instantly. In the darkness, several beams of chasing light hit the stage , from the steps next to the stage, an old man with gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses looks like a schoolteacher, but everyone knows that the only person who can stand in the center of the stage at this time is that person—the president of the NBA. David Stern.

His appearance was like an automatic silencer, and the audience was silent before he even made a move. Everyone looked at him and at the list in his hand.

Draft candidates, agents, and those relatives and friends, all eyes are on him.Tonight will decide what kind of return these people will get for their nearly two months of hard work!
***
"The first pick in the first round in 2007, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Greg Oden from Ohio State University!"

"The second pick in the first round in 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Kevin Durant from the University of Texas!"

The first is the announcement of the first and second picks. There is no surprise at all. The two names that came out of Stern's mouth are the two names that everyone has been talking about before the draft.

Oden and Durant became the No. 07 and No. [-] picks in [-]!
"The third pick in the first round in 2007, the Atlanta Hawks selected..."

"Hey, hey, you're already the third pick. Damn it, Danny, you agree quickly, and I can give you enough chips!" In this live broadcast of the party, not only the fans were watching in front of the TV , There are also general managers of some teams, but compared to those fans who are simply curious about who these newcomers will get, these old guys have more emotions on their faces, eager, even impatient.

"Al Horford from the University of Florida!"

On the TV screen, a tall man with a simple and honest face stood up from the auditorium. He walked onto the stage and shook hands with David Stern excitedly.

"You agreed, didn't you? Damn it, you finally agreed, or I was going to break up with you! Listen, Danny, call immediately, help me..."

"The fourth pick in the first round in 2007, the Memphis Grizzlies chose Yi! Jian! Lian from China!"

"Oh~shit, it's too late! Danny, my target has been selected, damn it!" Stern's name made the general manager look annoyed, "Damn, damn, damn!"

"The one you want to choose is Yi Jianlian?!" This guy kept complaining and annoyed, but Anji's head froze. He never thought that what his old friend wanted so eagerly was that he couldn't see it. Yi Jianlian on the Internet!
Wtf, what the hell is going on!
