Coach Lee

Chapter 179
In a hotel in Charlotte.

"Dazhi, look, it has risen again, to No. 6."

Li Nan threw a new newspaper to Wang Dazhi.

After all, Li Nan was still worried about his children, so he followed.

Wang Dazhi saw ESPN's draft prediction rankings on the newspaper, and he was really No. 6!

"Xiao Li, I heard you were right. Hit those guys hard, and my ranking will go up."

Wang Dazhi's face was full of excitement.

Li Nan smiled, and muttered in his heart: Oh silly son, how can it be so easy?Do you know that Dad has spent millions of dollars for you, not even my wife, my parents have so much.

In fact, Wang Dazhi's draft ranking is largely due to the promotion of Li Nan and the team behind him. Of course, there is also the help of his agent Falk.

Americans actually like this one.Whoever is famous, who is famous, whose draft pick will go up.

Just like when Falk helped Iverson.

Of course, Wang Dazhi's own strength is also the most important guarantee.

Wang Dazhi's physical talent is actually not bad, and his skills are even better, even better than that "Dayao" who just entered the NBA.

Of course Li Nan wants to do his part for his good brother.

"By the way, Dazhi, do you have a favorite team?"

Wang Dazhi was still looking at the newspaper in his hand, "I don't like it, but I decided to go to the Celtics. After all, the coach said that they need me,"

"Need you to be their Larry Bird, right? How many times have you said that?" Li Nan rolled his eyes.

Wang Dazhi was also proud, "Hehehe~ I am happy, can you control it?"

June 6, Charlotte.

Tens of thousands of people crowded into the Time Warner Center Arena, the scene was extremely lively, and the draft was like a grand banquet.

In the small green room, everyone was wearing a suit, sitting around a round table with relatives and friends.

Tim Duncan, Keith Van Horn and Billups were placed in the most prominent positions.

Although the scene was lively, these rookies didn't have much to say.They were all a little nervous and looking forward to it, and their eyes would glance at the stage from time to time.

In the middle seat of the small green room, Li Nan and Wang Dazhi were both dressed in handsome suits, and Mr. Sun Zhengping from CCTV was at the same table.

Wang Dazhi was able to participate in this draft, and the predicted ranking was still so high, which caused quite a stir in the country.

China has a Li Nan, and now there is Wang Dazhi. The fans all over the country are not to mention how happy they are.

Teacher Sun Zhengping had a smile on his face all the time, looking at the two young men whispering beside him, he was really very happy.

It's just a pity that those people like Liu Yudong are getting older and don't really want to go abroad, otherwise...

However, Teacher Sun believes that with these two people as role models, there will be more Chinese players in the NBA in the future.

After waiting for a long time, the light at the scene suddenly dimmed, and the spotlight was aimed at the stage. An old man with white hair and black suit appeared in the circle of light and slowly entered the stage.

This person is David Stern, Mr. NBA Commissioner.

Stern stood still in front of the main podium, and applause, whistles, and cheers rang out.

wow wow~~
"Shh~wh~"

"Oh oh oh!"

David Stern faced everyone, maintaining his kind smile.

"Good evening, and welcome to the 1997 NBA Draft, to the Time Warner Center in Charlotte.

Tonight, I would like to thank fans from all over the United States and Canada for witnessing this NBA event with us on TNT TV.Thousands of fans also came to the scene, thank you for coming, your presence made this draft even more exciting.

So, let us start today's world-renowned draft. "

There should be applause here, but the audience seemed to have fallen asleep and didn't show face.

David Stern didn't mind at all. He's seen more embarrassing things than this.

With a smile on his face, Stern also announced:
"The one with the No. 5 pick is the Dallas Mavericks, and they're going to have five minutes to make their selection."

Speaking of which, the scene finally became hot.

"Oh!"

It's like the students are sending away Stern, the annoying dean.

The 5-minute selection time is up, it is really very long.This is 5 minutes of torment.

When the daylily that everyone was waiting for was cold, the old man David Stern finally came out.

Stern stood in front of the main podium. At this time, the voices on the scene rose again.

"Oh oh oh!"

Stern always had a smile on his face, and after the voices on the scene subsided a little, he also spoke.

"The No. [-] pick in the first round from the Dallas Mavericks was,"

David Stern lowered his head, glanced at the cards in his hand, and paused.

The old man paused like this, and many fans' hearts were raised in their throats, and some people started to scold their mothers.

"Stern you bloody old man."

"What are you trying to do? Is it really because I have to be anxious to death to be reconciled?"

"Didn't the Mavericks choose Tim? Impossible?"

At this moment, David Stern scanned the rookies in front of him with a smile.

Billups and the others suddenly had their eyes burning.

"Has the situation changed?"

Tim Duncan frowned, "Impossible, Don Nelson has already talked about it."

At this moment, David Stern suddenly blurted out, "Tim Duncan."

"Hehe~"

Duncan let out a long breath, his face full of excitement and excitement, and then hugged his relatives and friends one by one.

The Spurs without Duncan, Pubwich without Duncan, Duncan without the Spurs.Who made who?Li Nan was also looking forward to it.

In the back van, watching Duncan take the Mavericks cap, Bubvich shook his head and sighed helplessly.

...

After a while, David Stern also announced, "...the Spurs' second pick is Keith Van Horn!"

"...the Celtics took Chauncey Billups with the third overall pick."

"With the fourth pick, the Grizzlies chose Antonio Daniels."

It all went very smoothly, and it all came according to ESPN's predictions, and it didn't exceed everyone's expectations.

Soon, it was the fifth pick, and it was the turn of the Denver Nuggets to pick someone.

David Stern walked into the field slowly again, looked at the cards in his hand, David Stern smiled, very kindly.

"The Denver Nuggets selected with the fifth pick, Wang Dazhi, from China!"

"Wow!"

There was applause and cheers.

Li Nan and Teacher Sun Zhengping all got up with a "yeah", but Wang Dazhi himself was stunned.

I didn't go to the Nuggets for a tryout?How did they choose me?

Li Nan on the field smiled and pushed him.

"Hurry up, the old man is still waiting."

Seeing Wang Dazhi put on the Nuggets hat and shaking hands with Stern friendly on stage, Li Nan also smiled, sincerely happy for Dazhi.
