Chapter 560 Embarrassing

A week later, on June 6, at Madison Square Garden in New York, the 27 NBA Draft was held here.

In the studio on the side of the arena, the host is giving an opening introduction for today's draft.

"Welcome to this year's draft, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm Kenny Johnson from TNT.

Every year, we see hundreds of young faces in the draft, and today, for the first time, this number has reached four figures. 4!This is the year that made history!And this number also shows how hot our league is.

Among the 1024 people, 600 local players came out, 250 came from Canada, and the rest were all talented players from other countries in the world.

Like China, this year they have 11 players participating in this year's NBA draft, South Korea has 9 players, and Japan has 1 player.

The whole world loves our NBA. The NBA is everyone's dream, and the draft is the bridge to the dream.

However, on the bridge leading to everyone's dreams in the draft, only 58 of these thousand people can realize their dreams.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Who can walk across this bridge, who will step onto the stage of dreams, and who will become a superstar in the future?
Today, we will witness together! "

Thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge.

Today's draft is a significant day for thousands of young players participating in the draft.

The draft has not yet started, and the arena is already full.

And in the small green room, the twenty round tables were also full of people.

Twenty tables means that twenty rookies are invited, and they are the top twenty on the draft prediction list:
1. Tyson Chandler

2. Kwame Brown
3. Pau Gasol

4. Eddy Curry
5. Desagner-Diop

6. Eddie Griffin

7. Shane Battier

8. Jason Richardson

9. Vladimir Radmanovic
10. Richard Jefferson,
11. Joe Johnson, 12. Rodney White, 13. Yao Liang, 14. Kedrick Brown, 15. Troy Murphy, 16. Steven Hunter, 17. Kirk Haas Dayton, 18, Michael Bradley, 19, Jason Collins, 20, Zach Randolph.

In the small green room, the tables are also divided into primary and secondary.

Tyson Chandler, Kwame Brown, Eddie Curry, and Pau Gasol are in the front row, closest to the stage.

As for the second row, it was very surprising that Yao Liang, who was more than a dozen people away, was actually in the middle, at the head of the second row.

Many people are a little confused about this arrangement.

The other tables were full of people coming and going, but Yao Liang had only his own people here, Yao's father, Yao's mother, Ke Linpan, Teacher Sun Zhengping, and the leaders of the Basketball Association.

"Yao, at this time, you should move around more and build a good relationship with others, just like those people. After all, you are newcomers in the same class, and it may be good for you in the future."

"But, isn't that what Li Nan told me?"

"How did he say?"

"He said it's free, I can do whatever I want."

"Uh, what he meant was that you should let go, chat with everyone casually, and make friends if you can. If you can't, forget it. Yes, he definitely meant that."

"That's right, Xiao Yao, you should listen to what Li Nan said, you should listen to it. Besides, this NBA is also a social network, so it's good for you to interact more with others."

"Ok."

Yao Liang got up helplessly, and as soon as he got up, he saw Gasol in front of him.That guy seems to be peeking at himself.

Gasol's table was much colder than Kwame Brown's table, and there were no people there.

Yao Liang didn't know anyone else, so he just looked for this guy.

After all, he also buckled one on his head, hehehe.

Seeing Yao Liang approaching, Gasol also showed a slight smile.

Since the day the training camp opened, Yao Liang has never appeared in the training camp again, and Gasol went several times without meeting him.

Yao Liang started awkwardly, "Paul, long time no see, how are you?"

Gasol also responded politely, "Nice to see you again, yao."

Then, Yao Liang suddenly didn't know what to say, so he just praised the other party. "Paul, you are really handsome today."

"haha, thank you,"

Gasol smiled.

Gasol, who is dressed in a suit today, and with that handsome face, looks like a prince.

Really handsome!

Then, embarrassment again.

The two are actually not that familiar.

Although they are born once and familiarized twice, they really don't have that level.

After all, this is Gasol's table, so he should take the initiative. "Uh, that, yao, come and sit."

Yao Liang nodded to Gasol's relatives and friends, then sat down, and then, was embarrassed again.

Fortunately, there are other people at this table.

Gasol's mom helped break it up for the two youngsters.

"Hey, young man, you look much taller than Paul. How tall are you? What? 226, wow! You are more than ten centimeters taller than Paul."

"Oh, boy, you are so tall, you can't be gigantic, can you? No? That's good, that's good. Nothing is more important than good health."

"Young man, are you Chinese? I really want to see the Great Wall of China if I have the chance."

"Young man, are you married? No, do you have a girlfriend? Shall I introduce a Spanish girl to you? Let me tell you, our Spanish girls are very enthusiastic."

Gasol's mother used to be a basketball player and is now a doctor.

It is also because of the existence of this enthusiastic aunt that the awkward relationship between Yao Liang and Gasol has become better.

Gradually, there was some interaction between the two.

Gasol remembered that he had promised to fight again, but Yao Liang hadn't seen him for a few days, and now he said the same thing,

"Hey man, you didn't come to training camp for a few days, did you run away because you were scared?"

"Escape? Nothing."

"Then why don't you come for a few days?"

"Because a team is looking for me."

"Wow, Yao, seeing the smile on your face, you must be a very good pick, right?"

"Okay."

Yao Liang didn't say anything, but Gasol wanted to ask more questions, but Gasol's mother interrupted.

"By the way, yao, you and Paul don't know each other anymore. When you enter the NBA, you have to take care of each other. One more friend, one more road."

Gasol's mother just learned that this young man is called Yao, and his current ranking is only 13th, while her son is in the top 5. It is really not good to hurt people's confidence like this.

"Okay, okay, I will definitely take good care of Paul in the future."

"I don't need you to take care of me. Uh, I should take good care of you. Yao, don't worry, you can find me if you have no money to eat in the future."
