Chapter 5
At eight o'clock in the morning on June 2003, 6, the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York was crowded with people.The annual NBA Draft officially kicks off here.And because the quality of this year's rookies is the only one since 27, this draft is particularly eye-catching.

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone. This is China Central Television Sports Channel. I am Sun Zhenping. Now, Director Zhang and I are broadcasting the draft for you in New York."

"Basketball fans all over the world are paying attention to Madison today. The same is true for domestic fans. Because this is the first time a Chinese player has participated in the draft."

"Different from Dayao's election last year, this year's Dapeng and Xiao Xue participated in the entire process of the draft. Director Zhang, what do you think of their prospects in the draft?" Sun Zhenping said in a routine opening Immediately afterwards, he skillfully began to play the role of fan.

Zhang Weiping smiled: "Xiao Xue is more about accumulating experience and learning the advanced training methods of the Americans. But Dapeng is very hopeful to be selected in the first few picks. Very interested in him. I have to say, he did really well in the trials."

At the same time when the Shuangping combination started to play Wang Shipeng habitually, Wang Shipeng's family and Yi Jianlian entered the arena accompanied by Duffy.

"Wow, Brother Peng, there are so many people here." Yi Jianlian looked left and right like a countryman who had never seen the world.It was really embarrassing for Wang Shipeng to have the urge to strangle him to death.

Originally, Yi Jianlian wanted to stay in China until the end of August and then go directly to New York to report.But when he heard that Wang Shipeng's draft expectations had increased and he might not be able to go to New York, he immediately became anxious.He didn't want to be alone in a place like New York.

So he went to New York with his father and mother to participate in the draft, and then went to find a school there after Wang Shipeng confirmed the team.He had a simple idea that Wang Shipeng had fooled him into going abroad, so Wang Shipeng could not ignore him.And he is not at ease when he stays alone in a foreign city, Yi Dad Yi Mom.

Wang Shipeng immediately nodded in agreement.He felt that it would be good for Ah Lian to stay by his side in high school. He could better help him adapt to the United States, and he would probably be able to support himself when he went to college.

"Can you be more reserved, boy, anyway, brother is also a star rookie who is going to enter the small green house." Wang Shipeng dragged back Yi Jianlian who was about to run to find someone to ask for an autograph.

Duffy also spoke at the side: "Yi, don't worry, when Wang is famous in the league, it will be easy for you to get these signatures back. What's more, with your talent, you may not be worse than them in the future. "

Yi Jianlian scratched his head shyly, and saw many media broadcasting live broadcasts around him, so he quickly sat down upright.

After a hustle and bustle, the draft officially began, and David Stern stepped onto the rostrum. As in the past 20 years, he once again enjoyed the boos from New York fans in New York.

"What's the matter? Why are you booing him?" The queen mother who just came from China was a little puzzled, so she asked Wang Shipeng.

"This is the usual practice. This old man is not likable. But Mom, are you really not living with me in America?" Wang Shipeng asked again.In the past month or so, Wang Shipeng asked his parents to stay with him in the United States to enjoy the blessings several times, but they were all rejected.

Wang Shipeng's father is a civil servant and his mother is a teacher.They all live in Shenzhen. (This setting is necessary for the plot. I didn’t find out what Wang Shipeng’s parents do. After all, they don’t have many chances to appear in the future. Please just let it go.)
"I told you earlier, don't bother me. Your mother and I both have to go to work, and I don't want to retire yet. Besides, you have been in Dongguan for six years, from the sports school to the youth team and then to the first team at the age of 14. You live alone, why don't you dare to live by yourself now that you are twenty?" Father Wang waved his hand, interrupting Wang Shipeng's ink.The couple, who are not yet 50, do not intend to come to the United States to take care of their son.

"Yeah, your father and I can't even speak a word of English, so it's meaningless to come here. I'm used to being alone with you, and I can see you when you return to China during the summer vacation."

Wang Shipeng had some regrets on his face, he really wanted to be filial to his parents for the original owner.Who would want others to be ungrateful.But I was slightly relieved, after all, I was used to being alone in my past and present lives.In my previous life, my hometown was in Hebei, but I worked alone in Guangdong. I lived alone for more than ten years. In this life, I traveled through three years and hardly had time to go back to my home in Shenzhen except for the Spring Festival.It's not necessarily used to living with parents.

"The first pick in the 2003 NBA draft belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have 5 minutes to think about it." Stern began his speech that has remained unchanged for 20 years.

It said five minutes, but the Cavaliers didn't even have five seconds to send their pick.

"The Cavaliers selected LeBron James with the No. [-] pick. Congratulations to the lad." Stern glanced at the envelope the Cavaliers sent up.

Looking at the "Old BJ" striding up to the stage, Wang Shipeng was a little dazed. In his previous life, until his own transmigration, this guy firmly occupied the No.1 throne in the alliance.

Even if Curry won three championships in five years, James made it out of the Eastern Conference again and again and returned home.People will never think that the Oakland elementary school students have been able to take away the No.1 throne in the league.

Looking at James, who is still very young and has a very forward hairline, Wang Shipeng murmured: "Time, what a butcher's knife."

Brother Peng, where do you think we can go?Chicago? "Yi Jianlian curiously asked Wang Shipeng, who had a calm face.

Wang Shipeng shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know. Let's take a step and see." Wang Shipeng really didn't know.He was intent on going to New York.But the Assassin guy seems to have messed things up.So Chicago?Seems good too.

Time passed minute by minute in the chat.History ended up not changing much.Detroit, Denver, Toronto and Miami all picked who they would have picked, and then:

"The Chicago Bulls chose Wang Shipeng, from Guangdong, China." Stern's voice sounded clearly in Madison, and this also announced the long-running soap opera "Where's Wang Shipeng?" finally ended. "At the moment when Michael just completely left the league, Wang took over the banner of Chicago's shooting guard. Let us wait and see to see whether Chicago ushered in a new owner or another parallel importer." (TNT commentator Charles Barker Leigh said so.)
