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

Chapter 136 The Dust Settled, A New Beginning

Li Kaiming sat in the audience, surrounded by the lottery picks who had been invited by the Little Green House, as well as their families.

Beside him were Sun Jianguo and Monica, and Sun Lan and Jiang Shan were whispering at the side. Jiang Shan laughed like silver bells from time to time, and then raised her head to peek at Li Kaiming.

Apparently, his dear aunt Sun Lan was telling Jiang Shan about his childhood embarrassment!

Li Kaiming was a little speechless, auntie, in such a large crowd, what you did was like stripping me naked...

But he was embarrassed to talk about Sun Lan, and Jiang Shan seemed to be very interested in this...

Thinking of this, Li Kaiming's face turned darker...

Monica on the side seemed to see the unnaturalness on Li Kaiming's face, lowered her head and asked in concern, "Li, what's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

As Li Kaiming's manager, on such an important occasion, she naturally wanted to help Li Kaiming remove all obstacles.

Smelling the faint hair fragrance from the tip of his nose, Li Kaiming smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine."

At this moment, the presenter had already finished his opening remarks, and finally said, "NBA Commissioner David Stern, please come to the stage to announce the results of the 2010 NBA Draft!"

Suddenly there was dense applause from the audience!

The gray-haired David Stern, wearing a brown suit, walked onto the stage slowly under the leadership of the staff.

Stern stood in front of the podium with the 2010 draft icon, stood still, and then said to the camera, "The 2010 NBA draft begins now! No. [-] pick, the Washington Wizards!"

Thunderous applause broke out at the scene!

After Stern announced the start of the draft, the Washington Wizards had 5 minutes to decide who they would pick with the No. [-] pick!

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the camera moved to the draft players in the audience.

Mainly Li Kaiming and John Wall.

In the camera, Li Kaiming's expression is very natural, and his chest rises and falls regularly, which shows that he is also very peaceful.

But John Wall is different. Although the expression on his face has not changed much, a dense layer of sweat has appeared on his forehead. Under the lighting of the scene, the reflected light makes his forehead It looks very bright!

Moreover, his breathing was a little short, and it seemed that he was in a very restless mood.

In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel in Huaguo, Zhang Weiping couldn't help laughing when he saw the performance of Li Kaiming and Wall.

"Look, what is the demeanor of a general, as immovable as a mountain. Look at that John Wall again, such a scene can't be held, and there will definitely be no future in the future!"

Su Qun on the side couldn't help but smile wryly, you always see Li Kaiming pleasing to the eye everywhere, can you tell if this thing has a future?

Before the time was up to 5 minutes, a staff member under the stage took a folded card, walked quickly to the stage, and handed the card to Stern.

In such a short time, the Wizards decided who to choose, and it seems that they did not spend too much effort in making this choice.

Seeing that the Wizards' results had come out, everyone in the audience couldn't help but hold their breath.

John Wall clenched his fist involuntarily, then turned to look at Li Kaiming not far away.

Li Kaiming still had a faint smile on his face, his expression as usual.

Wall took a big breath, then forced himself not to look at Li Kaiming, and fixed his eyes on Stern on the stage.

But his heartbeat is getting faster and faster...

On the stage, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Stern opened the card in his hand, and raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Afterwards, Stern raised his head, first glanced at John Wall, and then turned his gaze to Li Kaiming.

His series of actions, in the eyes of outsiders, has a hint of something else...

Many people have other thoughts in their hearts. Could it be that the Wizards didn't choose Li Kaiming...

In the CCTV studio, Zhang Weiping felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Stern's action!

"The Wizards won't be stupid, will they choose Wall instead of Li Kaiming?"

Su Qun's heart on the side also tightened subconsciously, "Probably not..."

It's just that what he said was too unassuming, and it didn't give Director Zhang any comfort at all.

Stern's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he smiled and read the result on the card into the microphone.

"In the 2010 draft, the Washington Wizards selected...Li Kaiming!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience applauded thunderously!

Li Kaiming got up and hugged his uncle Sun Jianguo, his aunt Sun Lan, his manager Monica, and Jiang Shan who was still in an awkward position.

With a confident smile on his face, he adjusted the collar of his suit and walked to the side of the stage.

A staff member had already prepared a baseball cap with the Wizards badge printed on it. Li Kaiming took it and put the cap on his head as he stepped onto the stage.

The size is just right, it is tailor-made for him!

He walked to the center of the stage, and the amiable old white man had already stretched out his hand early.

Li Kaiming immediately greeted him, and then held hands with Stern.

The whole audience flashes constantly!

Li Kaiming and Li Kaiming smiled at the camera, setting the tone for tonight's draft.

……

John Wall in the audience, seeing Li Kaiming's smile on the stage, couldn't help clenching his fists!

This position should have belonged to him...

In the CCTV studio, Director Zhang and Su Qun were relieved to see that the Wizards still selected Li Kaiming!

Director Zhang couldn't help sighing, "The Wizards' choice is very reasonable..."

After the group photo was over, Li Kaiming walked off the stage and returned to his original seat.

His mood fluctuated a little only when he took a photo with Stern. At other times, he didn't feel any excitement at all.

It's like, he should be selected by the Wizards with the No. [-] pick...

But his companions were in a different mood. If it wasn't for the inappropriate scene, Sun Jianguo might have already pulled out a Huazi and started celebrating.

Sun Lan also covered her mouth and nose, tears kept streaming...

As for Monica and Jiang Shan, they were happy for Li Kaiming from the bottom of their hearts.

They are all related to Li Kaiming, the better Li Kaiming is, the better they will be.

The draft is still going on, but it has nothing to do with Li Kaiming.

John Wall was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the second pick.

Without Li Kaiming, John Wall's position is still very stable.

Philadelphia 76's wins this year are simply overwhelming, with a 5% probability of getting the second pick, but this year there is another Li Kaiming!

Regardless of whether the Wizards choose Li Kaiming or Wall, the 76ers will not lose!

The Nets took Evan Turner from Ohio State University with the second pick.

The Sacramento Kings selected DeMarcus Cousins ​​with the No. 5 pick.

Li Kaiming's old opponent Gordon Hayward was selected by the Utah Jazz, and the Indiana Pacers used the 11th pick to pick Paul George from Fresno State University...

The Toronto Raptors took Li Kaiming's good brother Elliott Williams with the 13th overall pick. Poor Elliott, who was a prophecy by Li Kaiming's classmate, was directly sent to the north...

However, Li Kaiming still congratulated him. Although the location of the Raptors is not very good, Williams' predicted pick is much higher than before.

From the very beginning of predicting the end of the first round to the end of the lottery in the draft, from the perspective of salary, Williams is not at a loss.

And Toronto is not as prosperous as other big cities, Williams will put more energy on training...

All in all, what Li Kaiming means is, go to Toronto, that's for your own good!

But Williams' expression doesn't look happy...
