NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

June 2010, 6, America New York City, Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks.

Known as the "Basketball Mecca", all NBA players are proud of their outstanding performance here.

But today, Madison Square is crowded with people not because of any heavyweight events, but because this year's NBA draft will be held here!

Li Kaiming, uncle Sun Jianguo, aunt Sun Lan, his manager Carol Monica, and Hongxin Erke's representative in America, Jiang Shan, got out of a luxury car arranged by the alliance, and then walked slowly Go to the door of Madison Square.

The surrounding security personnel have pulled out a long passage with isolation belts near the door to prevent riots at the scene due to interviews.

But when Li Kaiming got out of the car with a large group of people, the onlookers immediately started commotion!

Most of the American media came to the scene today, just hoping to get some news to go back to the business.

However, the number of press conferences is limited, so a large number of reporters are not qualified to enter the venue and can only wait outside the venue. If you are lucky enough to meet someone who can be interviewed, this trip is worthwhile.

Li Kaiming is undoubtedly the most powerful and famous person in this year's draft. If he can interview him, the reporter will definitely make a profit!

So even though there are security and isolation belts at the entrance of the venue, there are still a large number of people shouting at Li Kaiming, hoping to attract the latter's attention!

Li Kaiming waved to the reporters and the fans at the scene, showing a charming smile.

The flashlights on the scene also started to click and click, and all the people with cameras frantically shot at Li Kaiming and the group of people.

In addition to Li Kaiming, who is handsome and handsome in a suit and leather shoes, Monica and Jiang Shan behind him also attracted the attention of most old critics on the scene!

"Who are those two girls behind Li Kaiming?"

"That blonde girl is so pretty, she's my thing!"

"That oriental face is also very good. I'm not from Huaguo, so I'm very excited to see it!"

"Can you restrain yourself a bit, if you can come here with Li Kaiming, besides his family members, that's his manager, so it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Who said, maybe it's Li Kaiming's younger sister? Then Li Kaiming will be my brother-in-law in the future..."

The last thick-skinned speech immediately caused the onlookers to let out a neat voice of contempt!

The handsome Li Kaiming, with two beauties who are eye-catching, and the two beauties are one in the east and the other in the west, soon became a beautiful scenery on the scene...

Tonight's draft will be broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV.

Except for America, which has a relatively high degree of attention in the local area, among the rest of the countries, the Chinese people are the most concerned about this draft.

After Li Kaiming, who has a violent yellow skin and explosive physical talent, played, and with the help of David Stern, Li Kaiming himself had already gained quite a lot of popularity in Huaguo before the draft.

In addition, after the finals, Li Kaiming signed a contract with Hongxin Erke, a local sports brand in Huaguo, which greatly increased the favorability of many Chinese people for him.

What does this mean? Although Li Kaiming is in America, he has a good impression of Huaguo.

So at this time, Li Kaiming has become a very popular basketball star in Huaguo, and gradually many people have become his fans.

In addition to the friendly attitude of the people of Huaguo, Huaguo officials also have a great interest in Li Kaiming.

Since the Huadu Olympic Games in 08, the Huaguo men's basketball team has gradually declined. In fact, the main reason is that Yao Ming's physical condition is not as good as before.

Although the Huaguo men's basketball team is still dominating the world in Asia, it is almost impossible to go further in the world's basketball world.

In the 2008 Olympic Games, the combination of the peak Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi allowed Huaguo to equal the best result in history, that is, the quarterfinals.

With progress, people subconsciously think that the next time should be better. Whether it is greed or self-motivation, this is human nature.

So when Yao Ming's physical condition declined, the Huaguo men's basketball team had an unprecedented sense of crisis.

It is absolutely impossible to cultivate another pillar of Yao Ming's level in a short period of time, so the only choice is to introduce.

However, the introduction of talents does not mean that we aim at the best people and bring in the best people. There are many factors that need to be considered.

The wishes of the players themselves, and most importantly, the feelings of the Huaguo fans and people.

The vast majority of Hua Guo fans, in fact, cannot accept a person with blood in their body that is different from theirs to represent them in international competitions.

If this person's skin color is different from theirs, there will definitely be strong opposition from the people.

This is why it is said that talents should be introduced, but there has been no progress in the introduction for many years.

There are so many things to consider...

However, the appearance of Li Kaiming brought this issue to light. Except that Li Kaiming is currently an American citizen, he is no different from an ordinary Chinese student. He can even speak Chinese fluently!

It was a match made in heaven!

Therefore, Huaguo officials also began to consciously help Li Kaiming to promote, and sent special personnel to contact Li Kaiming...

And today, Huaguo's CCTV Sports Channel also invited several retired basketball players to broadcast the draft live as guest commentators.

The host is Weiping Bryant, who everyone is very familiar with—directed by Zhang Weiping.

Director Zhang, as one of the first few basketball commentators in Huaguo to pay attention to Li Kaiming, also knows Li Kaiming very well.

He just glanced at the information in his hand, and then talked to the camera, introducing a lot of information about Li Kaiming, obviously he came prepared!

This made the guest on the side, a short-cut middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with gold-framed glasses, admire him.

After listening to Director Zhang's introduction, he immediately inserted a question, "Director Zhang, at what position do you think Li Kaiming will be selected today?"

Zhang Weiping gave him a blank look, "Hey, it doesn't matter, you have to be the champion anyway, right? Is this reasonable?"

Su Qun, the man with glasses, smiled sarcastically, but didn't answer.

On the contrary, Director Zhang was persistent and gave out a bunch of reasons why Li Kaiming could be elected as the champion.

"Aside from other things, Li Kaiming's physical talent is also outstanding in the entire history. Also, look at his performance in March Madness. That guy averaged 34 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 1 A steal! No player in this class can perform like this! If he is not selected for the No. [-] pick, who will he choose?"

Although Weiping Bryant's words in some key points are more subjective and mixed with too much of his own judgment, but there is still no big problem with Li Kaiming's draft prospects.

Li Kaiming has only one shortcoming, that is, he suffered a serious injury to the Achilles tendon, but the physical examination before the draft has been checked, and his injury has recovered very well, and even the broken part is thicker than before!

This phenomenon made the doctor who performed the examination call it a miracle, wishing he could dissect Li Kaiming on the spot!

Weiping Bryant and Su Qun chatted a little more awkwardly, and then in the TV broadcast signal, the current NBA president David Stern walked onto the center of the stage.

The 2010 draft has begun!
