Chapter 25 Draft Results, Elderly Status
After the Los Angeles trial, Yang Zhan received many team invitations, but in the end Yang Zhan only chose the New Jersey Nets.

Because he is the No. 15 pick in the first round with the highest pick among all teams, although he has not received any commitment from any team, Yang Zhan believes that he will never fall out of the top fifteen.

The days of running around always pass quickly. When Uncle Li took Yang Zhan back to Tennessee, the time has come to June 6.At this time, the draft is only a week away.

On June 2005, 6, the fans were still immersed in the disgusting defensive battle between the Spurs and the Pistons. The finals between the two teams was really a cancer in the ratings.

And Yang Zhan was stunned by their physical confrontation, so Yang Zhan knew why, when he didn't get the talent of strength, the major media affirmed that Yang Zhan's strength could not be based on the NBA.

At the same time, Manu Ginobili of the Spurs really admired Yang Zhan. In such a meat grinder, how can he complete such a gorgeous offense.

It can be said that Manu is really the only rating point for the finals of the two sides. Yang Zhan can't help but sigh that he deserves to be called the "Argentine snake" by fans

However, it is a pity that Manu's finals MVP was robbed by this "fool" again, but the offensive rebounds of Manu are indeed critical to the situation of the game.

San Antonio people are overwhelmed by the ocean of happiness.The Spurs' three sports cars brought them a trophy again after a lapse of a year. They have been looking forward to the Spurs' ability to create a dynasty.

The NBA Finals is about the life and death of the two best teams.

But today, there is one thing that will be more eye-catching than the just-concluded finals. After all, the annual NBA draft is directly related to the future of all teams!

Hey, this battle, I think it’s scarier than the college league and March Madness.” As soon as Li Shu got out of the car, he saw Madison Square Garden surrounded by a black crowd, and he couldn’t help expressing emotion.

Yang Zhan looked at the scene in front of him. He also felt very shocked, but he didn't show it like Uncle Li.

Instead, he clenched his fists involuntarily, because he knew that when he came out of Madison Square Garden.

I will compete with the best basketball players in the world, and my life will change accordingly.

At this time, the reporters off the court were analyzing the current draft and the thinking of each team. After all, it was for many people.

This gamble-like draft may be much more exciting than a serious basketball game! (Who made this year's final so hot)
Here, you are very likely to inadvertently select the next Jordan today, even in a second-round pick.

Of course, it is not impossible to draw the second Kwame Brown with the No. [-] pick.

No one knows what this exciting gamble will eventually bring to the team, and even those team executives who are about to make a decision have no idea.

After all, many managements are looking at physical advantages. They think that technology can be changed the day after tomorrow. Why Yao was selected as the No. [-] pick at that time has nothing to do with physical talent.

What?You said that his strength was not good in his rookie period. Please, with his height, he can still move laterally like a normal center when defending, which is very scary.

Moreover, it is not only the American media who are here today, but many domestic media are also attracted by the name. CCTV5 even made a live broadcast of the entire talent show!

Because of the two commentators who interviewed Yang Zhan at that time, they did a lot of publicity in China, so these people knew that apart from Yao Ming, there was another person who was famous in the United States.

And they are going to participate in this year's draft. At first, some people thought it was a rumor, but as Dayao received interviews from reporters, he praised Yang Zhan a lot.

Only domestic people really believed it, which made Yang Zhan very grateful to Dayao. After all, this was a disguised way to increase his influence in the country. However, because of the current status gap, Yang Zhan had never had the opportunity to contact Dayao.

At this time in China, the ratings of the draft conference have also hit a record high. After all, it is too difficult to grow up to the height of Dayao.

Compared with Dayao's height, Yang Zhan's height is more civilian, and Yang Zhan also plays point guard.

Movements that can be imitated are also more suitable. After all, how many young people on the court can imitate Yao Ming, turn around and make a small hook.

Yang Zhan, Xiaopang, Uncle Li, and the coach, this is the lineup that accompanied Yang Zhan. At first, Yang Zhan didn't let his family come with him.

But they feel that they don't know English at all, and they can see it on TV. In fact, Yang Zhan understands that the hidden meaning of their refusal is that they are reluctant to part with money.

Afterwards, a few people sat down in the designated places, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed around them, and after a while, the lights of the whole venue dimmed.

According to the usual practice, NBA president David Stern was the first to take the stage. He gave some speeches on the stage, which he said every time in the draft, so Yang Zhan didn't listen to a word.

But in Yang Zhan's heart, he still admires this old man. In terms of his contribution to the NBA, he is definitely the greatest.

In 1989, David Stern, who had just taken over as NBA president for five years, came to China for the first time.

He waited for 40 minutes in the reception room at the east gate of CCTV, and finally CCTV agreed to broadcast the NBA game video for free.

In the following 30 years, the NBA has written a magnificent business development miracle in China.

Since then, Stern's story of waiting on CCTV has been sublimated into a good story, which is no less touching than "Cheng Men Lixue".

But later, David Stern spent 30 years opening the door to the Chinese market, but it took only three days for "a fat man" and a "joke" to close it. "

For a very official speech, David Stern successfully won boos from the audience.

But at this moment, everyone's attention was actually on the envelope that the old man was holding.

Yang Zhan took a deep breath. He knew that the 2005 draft had officially begun!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Milwaukee Bucks have selected the No. [-] pick in the draft." Stern elongated his tone and glanced at the envelope in his hand.

This move of his made everyone present tense their nerves. At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

"Andrew Bogut", from, Melbourne, Australia Congratulations! After Stern finished speaking, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

"Andrew Bogut" became this year's No. [-] pick.This result can be said to be what everyone expected.

After all, when this person had just graduated from high school, people had already said that he would be the No. [-] candidate.

And his honor is indeed worthy of this status, and he ranked first in the All-American Team voting by the Associated Press.

Voted AP and ESPN Player of the Year and Naismith College Player of the Year, recipient of the John Wooden Award.

The second pick in the draft, "The Atlanta Hawks selected."

Marvin Williams from UNC, congratulations.

The third pick in the draft, "The Utah Jazz selected."

Deron Williams, from the University of Illinois. As soon as Stern finished speaking, Deron put on the Jazz baseball cap and stood up abruptly. It seemed that the little fat man had already received the letter.

With the fourth pick in the draft, the "New Orleans Hornets" (now the Pelicans) selected Chris Paul.

Yang Zhan knew that this was the biggest fish in 05, the future No. [-] point guard in the league.

fifth pick in the draft
The sixth pick in the draft
The tenth pick in the draft "Los Angeles Lakers" Yang Zhan raised his eyebrows at this time, and at this time the Lakers management has been struggling, who should be chosen between the two.

The Los Angeles Lakers chose. David Stern paused, and the first high school lottery pick was born. As soon as this sentence came out, Yang Zhan was instantly excited.

They chose. Andrew Bynum Congratulations, sure enough, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, they still chose Bynum.

And the Lakers management can't help it. Their own goal is Bynum. His body is really a talent visible to the naked eye.

And Kobe has a three-peat record with O'Neal, so they want to choose a future dominant center, and then team up with Kobe to create another glories.

As for Yang Zhan's uncertain factor, in the end, the Lakers still decided to win Bynum. If other teams dare not bet, they might be able to catch them.

The No.11 pick "Orlando Magic" chose. Another high school student, "Yang" from Huaguo.

The on-site staff walked up to the people at the table who were stunned, and handed over a Magic team hat.

"Congratulations, lad."

Yang Zhan did not stand up excitedly like other rookies, and embraced with his companions who came with him.He sat blankly on the chair, wondering if David Stern had taken the wrong envelope.

The management of the Magic who came to pass the hat was also a little embarrassed. He said to Yang Zhan, "I'm sorry."

At this time, Yang Zhan woke up instantly. He read the meaning of these three words. He might be traded, so Yang Zhan didn't wear the magic baseball cap.

Yang Zhan stood up slowly at this time, and then hugged Uncle Li, the coach, and Xiaopang. At this time, Uncle Li saw that Yang Zhan's expression was not right, and couldn't help but wonder what's wrong, it's okay, I might be traded.

At Yang Zhan’s house in China, the 40-square-meter bungalow was full of leaders, big and small. My mother, who was afraid of the excitement when she went to the United States, was really lively this time.

These leaders didn't expect that they didn't go to the United States to participate in Yang Zhan's draft, so they all came.

And when David Stern read Yang Zhan's name, all the leaders congratulated, only Yang Zhan's family was confused.

The city leader saw the problem and began to explain: "Sister, congratulations, the TV just now means that your son ranks No. 11 among these people."

Only then did Yang Zhan's mother understand, but what followed was a sentence that left the city leaders speechless.

Their vision is really bad, my son is only ranked 11th?What does this make the leader do?Wait online, hurry up!
No. 19 pick: The Memphis Grizzlies selected. Fran Vazquez, Oh!Dear viewers, the first trade in the draft took place.

The Memphis Grizzlies sent away this year's No. 19 pick Fran Vazquez + Damon Stoudemire + Mike Miller.

In exchange for the Magic, this year's No. 11 pick "Yang" and this year's No. 8 pick in the second round.

15 minutes ago Grizzlies management.
Are you sure that kid has this ability?At this time, the assistant manager of the Grizzlies asked the general manager of the Grizzlies with an expression of disbelief.

If Yang Zhan could see this person, he would know that this person was the old man who came to the school to talk to Yang Zhan, and he was the famous Jerry West.

Facing the assistant's doubts, Jerry West put on a show and lit a cigar.

Then he said lightly to the assistant: "The high school student I selected last time, his name is Kobe Bryant." Just this one sentence left the assistant speechless.

After stepping down, Yang Zhanbei, a group of basketball reporters, surrounded the defender with a special complexion.

"As the second Chinese player to be selected in the lottery in NBA history, what do you think!?" A Chinese reporter squeezed into the first question.

"I'm very excited," Yang Zhan said with a smile on his face.

"Join the Memphis Grizzlies", do you have anything to say to the team?

"I feel very honored. After all, my high school was in Tennessee. Where did I have my glory?"

So do you have anything to say to the Orlando Magic?Although they selected you, they said you were traded out. At this time, an American reporter interviewed.

Yang Zhan knew very well that the question he asked was to provoke trouble, but Yang Zhan satisfied him. Although he was taciturn on the court, he was actually the same as Tim Duncan.

The taciturnity on the field is just because they don't want to show their flaws, and they all have little beasts in their hearts. Besides, Yang Zhan is "hacking" who is afraid of who?
I will make them regret it. Sure enough, after hearing this answer, the reporter left contentedly.

He doesn't need to stay any longer, there is already enough room for manipulation in this subject matter.

Now Yang Zhan's heart is finally at ease. After all, he is very familiar with Memphis. No matter what the result is, Yang Zhan's career path has already begun.

Professional basketball, here I come!

PS: The league prohibits high school students from drafting, and it is released after the draft is over, which means that it was actually established in the 06 draft.

There are a lot of fake news on the Internet. If some friends still don't believe it, I believe you can find many high school students who participated in the draft in 05.

The famous Bynum, Ellis
