Chapter 1 Draft Scene
"Lao Wang, don't be too nervous. This will make people laugh."
"Nervous? Ron, you look like you just finished playing a game and you are exhausted."
Looking at Ron Artest, who looked tall and thick but was sweating profusely, Wang Hao was particularly speechless.
You just want to comfort people, no, what do you think, so that people feel that you are not nervous?
Yes, this Ron Artest, also known as Ci Shiping, and Pan Dafu.
The representative of the brutal small forward in the NBA, synonymous with strong defenders, and the best wing defender.
Of course, the premise of all this is that there is no battle at Auburn Hills.
A battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills not only shattered the championship dreams of many Pacers players, Artest also completely declined.
You know, before the game at Auburn Hills, Artest was the best defensive player and entered the third team.
In addition to Artest, O'Neal Jr. also made the All-NBA Second Team and the top three MVPs.
There are also Reggie Miller and many other good players, who are the real threat to the Pistons in the league.
It's a pity that everything disappeared because of that war.
"Are you kidding me? Who am I? Ron Artest, I am the man who wants to beat Jordan, I will be nervous?"
Haha, if your legs hadn't been shaking and you almost overturned the table several times, he would have believed it.
As for beating Jordan?
Well, Artest actually did it, but it was a physical defeat that broke the man's entire bone.
You know, Jordan was preparing to come back for the second time.
If Gang Leader Qiao hadn't been tough enough, fans might never have the chance to see Jordan again.
If there is no Jordan in the new century, then Jordan will truly become a god. It is a pity that Artest has good intentions.
If Jordan in the 1990s proved to everyone that God is God and God is invincible.
Then Jordan in the new century tells all those who come after him that he is also a human being, and if you work hard, you can still see his back.
After talking about Jordan and Artest for a long time, of course I have to talk about Wang Hao himself.
Not Chinese, not immigrants, but native Chinese who went abroad to study a year ago.
Why study abroad?
Learn advanced foreign science and technology and then serve the motherland?
I'm overthinking it. It's not that Wang Hao doesn't want to serve the motherland. It's just too difficult and he really can't learn it.
Wang Hao's family conditions are not bad. After all, he can study abroad at his own expense, so his family conditions cannot be too bad.
Both of my parents are intellectuals. They studied abroad in their early years and are also university professors. Although they are not at the top universities in the country, they have made achievements in their respective fields.
With such a pair of parents, they naturally hope that their children will succeed.
It's a pity that after eighteen years of watching, these highly intellectual parents had to choose to accept reality.
Maybe God thought the couple were too smart, so he gave them a child who was not very smart.
When such thoughts appeared, the two of them even felt a little guilty.
The only thing that makes them feel at ease is that their son's academic performance is not good, but his body is really good.
Standing two meters tall, he is still very strong and has good athletic ability. If he is not good at studying, at least he is in good health.
When Wang Hao was in high school, his father Wang Weiguo was already making arrangements for Wang Hao's future.
Although studying is not good, you still have to have academic qualifications. After all, these are the things that are valued in China.
In addition, nowadays, Chinese people are very fond of foreign countries. Just having the name of a turtle can make your net worth skyrocket.
Wang Weiguo found contacts who had studied abroad in the early years and spent some money to send Wang Hao to study abroad.
What major did Wang Hao study?
Human Sociology.
At first glance, this major looks similar to philosophy or art, a standard second-generation major studying abroad.
After all, if they were really asked to learn life sciences or high-end physics, they wouldn't understand.
The place where Wang Hao studied abroad is called St. John's University.
Why did you study abroad to study at this university?
Because this is a Catholic university, it has a very strong religious background.
Universities like this tend to be more relaxed when recruiting international students, and the purpose is self-evident.
But it doesn't matter to Wang Hao. Anyway, he just plans to get a diploma and then go back to China to live life.
Who would have imagined that during the dozen or so hours from China to the United States, Wang Hao obviously just slept, but it seemed like he had experienced decades.
Isn't it like, because that feeling is too real?
Time travel?
Wang Hao was unsure at first, but it wasn't until something called a system appeared in his mind that he was sure that he had traveled through time.
The decades of experience in his mind told him that this was time travel.
Regarding life in the next few decades, just four words stand out: eat and die.
Wang Hao is really... quite satisfied with this kind of life.
Of course, this is a situation that cannot be changed. After all, who wants to work hard to make money when they can just lie back and enjoy life?
Isn’t making money just to enjoy life?
However, with the emergence of the system, Wang Hao's life has quietly changed.
"Old Wang, why are you in a daze? The draft is about to begin."
Artest was a little excited. Watching David Stern walk onto the stage, boos were heard all around him.
It's an old tradition in the NBA, and it's not surprising to everyone.
And now, it is June 1999, the scene of the NBA Draft, also known as the Little Green Room.
Wang Hao also played basketball before. Because of his tall stature, he always imitated the popular boy Wang Zhizhi.
Of course, it was just for fun in the past, and his parents would definitely not be happy for him to practice sports. Wouldn't this delay the child's study? Although Wang Hao's study does not need to be delayed at all.
It was only this year that he really accepted professional basketball training.
So why can Wang Hao appear in Little Green House?
Naturally, it’s because of his thighs. If Artest’s thighs are not enough, then add two more, Elton Brand and Lamar Odom.
A favorite for the No. 1 pick, a left-handed magician.
As Artest's friends and high school teammates, the two naturally knew Wang Hao and even had a pretty good relationship.
"Anyway, my name won't be there now, so why worry."
Artest said with great confidence: "You must concentrate, because you will soon hear the name of the great Ron Artest."
David Stern took the stage and did not immediately announce the draft, but began his regular speech.
For several minutes, he talked about the development of the NBA and the future direction of the league.
The response to him was naturally a series of boos, which can be regarded as a characteristic color of the NBA in this era.
However, looking back on the memories in our minds, maybe many years later, everyone will miss this old man.
Perhaps David Stern is a businessman because he made the NBA over-commercialized and lost the spirit of basketball.
But the NBA is originally a business league. As a businessman, he did what he should do, and he actually did pretty well.
