The world's best combo guard

Chapter 28 27 [Sensation]

At this moment, the entire arena was immersed in boiling and noise!

"Fantastic! The Memphis Grizzlies actually completed the deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. You must know that the No. 13 pick in the first round was just traded with the Houston Rockets a month ago, but now, they seem to have done nothing. Instead, they have fulfilled the Los Angeles Lakers , we don’t know the specific content of the transaction yet, but we can be sure that Kupchak has targeted this Chinese Li, which looks more like a long-term plot.”

"GOd! It's unbelievable. Who would have thought that a Chinese guard who has been in the draft market before the draft will be selected with the 13th overall pick?"

"About this Lee, I think we have to start digging deeper now. There must be something different about him, or the Los Angeles Lakers wouldn't have paid so much for him. God, it was a crazy night."

ESPN, as the sole broadcast rights owner of the draft, sent a very luxurious commentary lineup tonight.

Host Stephen A. Smith, professional commentator Bill Simmons, and former NBA superstar Bill Walton.

At this time, the three of them showed incredible expressions. Their facial expressions were very exaggerated, and their body language was also very rich, as if they were constantly venting their true inner feelings.

"Everyone, if it is said that Patley's use of the No. 5 pick in the first round to select Marquette's Dwyane Wade greatly exceeded our expectations, then Kupchak used the No. 13 pick in the first round to get China Li. Totally shocked us”

"Yes, before this, we have been discussing the whole summer. The focus of the Los Angeles Lakers management this summer must be on those big-name free agents, because they are eager for revenge and they need immediate combat power. In addition, they did not rely on this year. The former draft pick, so we almost ignored what the Lakers did in the draft, but now, unfortunately, we have been slapped in the face." Bill Simmons seems to have not recovered from the shock just now, his There was still an incredulous expression on his face.

In fact, it wasn't just Bill Simmons and the three of them who expressed disbelief at this time, even Li Hao, who was the person involved, also looked bewildered at this time.

"Brother Jun, did I hear correctly? The Lakers actually chose me?" Li Hao turned his head with difficulty and looked straight at Yao Zhijun.

"No, no..." Yao Zhijun's condition was not much better at this time.

They are already ready to go to the Orlando Magic. Even before Stern announced just now, he was still reminding Li Hao, "Ah Hao, get ready, the Magic's No. 15 will be signed soon."

But now, what they hear is that the Lakers have selected them, which is really heart-pounding news.

"Ahao, that's great. You were actually selected with the 13th overall pick in the first round, and the team that selected you was the Lakers." Mother Zhang Jing burst into tears at this moment, she was proud of her son.

As for other things, she didn't want to know, and she didn't know, she only knew that her son was chosen, and that was enough.

"It must be Kupchak who changed his mind. Forget it, Ah Hao, everything is clear when it's over. As for now, you hurry to the host station." Yao Zhijun patted Li Hao on the shoulder, and Stern was still there Waiting for a photo.

As soon as Yao Zhijun reminded him, Li Hao immediately got up and walked towards the host stage. At this time, the scene also erupted into violent cheers, and countless cameras pointed at Li Hao and clicked "click" continuously.

Media reporters are always sensitive. They know very well that according to today's draft, this young man from China is definitely a veritable dark horse in the draft. Once such news is released, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

In addition, the Chinese fans who came to the scene also tried their best to shout Li Hao's name at this time, because they felt that Li Hao brought them a reason and direction to support them.

A year ago, it was supposed to be the most screaming moment for Chinese fans like them, but Yao Ming was unable to attend the draft due to a series of reasons, so it was a pity.

But now, this sudden surprise made up for their regrets, and even vented their suppressed emotions like a flood!

…………

"Fuck! Who the hell can tell me what the hell is going on? The boiled duck just flew away? Shit!"

On the upper side of the arena, in the Orlando Magic box next to the Lakers box, the general manager of the Magic, Otis Smith, punched the table in front of him. In the box, the assistant next to him lowered his head and shivered in fright. From his assistant's point of view, this was the first time he had seen Otis get so angry.

"Los Angeles Lakers, Jeri Buss, Mitch Kupchak, fuck you!" Otis could hardly suppress his inner anger, and he cursed angrily. It feels too uncomfortable, or in other words, this sudden change between gain and loss leaves people with too much psychological gap.

Just 1 minute ago, he was sitting here with a confident posture. He was overlooking everything below. He was imagining the scene when Stern announced that the Orlando Magic would select a Chinese defender with the No. 15 pick in the first round. He even wondered if he should go to a nightclub to relax after the draft.

"No one would choose Li Hao with a pick higher than the No. 15 pick in the first round." Before that, Otis was very confident. He knew that the Orlando Magic were not the only team interested in Li Hao. The Los Angeles Lakers are interested in Li Hao.

However, he just doesn't believe that other teams will pay more than their Orlando Magic.

So he has nothing to fear!

But, now, he was wrong, he underestimated the determination of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Otis Smith is very pitiful now, because God didn't even give him time to be angry. He must re-determine the goal within a limited time, because it will be their turn to make a choice soon.

If Otis at this moment knew what happened to Jerry West not long ago, maybe he would immediately choose to fight with West.

"Young man, congratulations, the future of the NBA needs you"

On the host stage, Li Hao and Stern formally shook hands. Afterwards, Stern patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Compared with the shock and disbelief of other people on the scene, Stern was more delighted and expected besides shock and disbelief.

After sitting in the position of NBA president for so long, Stern asked himself that he still has some achievements. The appearance of a Michael Jordan made people all over the world know about the NBA. The oriental country with a large population has begun to like the NBA, but this is far from enough. He hopes that people in this large country with a population of 13 billion will be inseparable from the NBA one day. For this reason, he looks forward to more Chinese players joining the NBA from the bottom of his heart. , became the "bridge" to realize all this, and now, this "bridge" seems to have appeared, at least from the point of view of the draft pick, he is the best Chinese player after Yao Ming.

"Thank you, Mr. President"

After posing for a group photo, Li Hao walked towards the seat where he was sitting with full of excitement.

He made up his mind that after the draft, he must ask Laughlin why he didn't tell him the news in advance, although this is a satisfactory result.
