Chereads / NBA: NO. 1 Forward / Chapter 103 - 103

Chapter 103 - 103

Stern's routine, the daily pause, all eyes on him.

Especially New York Knicks fans, all waited patiently with bated breath.

The New York Knicks finally won the No. 1 pick this season, the fire of the Knicks' revival.

According to Stern's personality, if the Knicks don't seize this opportunity, it is estimated that the Knicks will not have to hope for the No. 1 pick in the future.

"Lian~Dao, sickle, a small forward with a height of 2.04 meters, from the University of Southern California."

The Knicks made their choice: Lian Dao!

The Knicks have actually been very clear about their goal, which is Lian Dao.

Especially when the head coach and general manager agree.

It's not that no team has offered high-standard chips. The Warriors even opened Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson in exchange for the No. 1 pick in the end.

But in the end they were all rejected by Downey.

This made Chris Mullin turn the table directly, and kept calling Downey a liar.

In fact, not only the Warriors, but also the Suns, the Pacers all offered very high chips. In the end, the Suns even agreed to exchange Amare Stoudemire for the No. The lineup's small forward Danny Granger was swapped for the No. 1 pick.

What Amare Stoudemire is, that's an All-Star.

To be honest, Downey was really moved, especially after Lian Dao's "scandal".

Downey is not an idiot to be able to sit in the position of general manager.

Can Lian Dao really make them pay so much?

Or, we underestimated his potential.

potential? potential!

The word flooded into Downey's mind all of a sudden.

That's right, from unfavorable high school head coach comments to leading USC to an NCAA championship.

From the draft predictions that were interrupted late in the second round to the No. 1 pick.

From a speed short to a 3.05 that stunned the United Center.

What is this, this is a leapfrog improvement in strength!

This is infinite potential. Isn't the draft draft all about potential players?

Downey finally realized something in his brain.

I almost became Bob Bass!

After reacting, Downey also announced the closure of all transactions and refused any negotiations.

When they heard that the New York Knicks announced their refusal to negotiate, all the teams were shocked, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, no agreement was reached, so the Knicks had the right to decide on the No. 1 pick.

The moment Stern announced his exit, Downey and D'Antoni also looked at each other and smiled.

When Stern announced the result, the Knicks fans also became two-faced. On the one hand, they cheered loudly. They expected Lian Dao to return to the Knicks.

On the other hand, boos, they did not expect the Knicks to finally choose this "trial training attitude" player.

But the booing is only a very small part. After all, some sober fans have recently posted posts questioning the previous reports, especially a report by Harland, which introduced Lian Dao's hard training and his performance on the court in college, and firmly believes that This incident was due to malicious smearing by some people.

Once this article was published on the Internet, it was reposted by countless people.

Griffin, who heard that the No. 1 pick was not his own, looked a little lonely.

"Congratulations to Lian Dao! He is the second Chinese player to enter the NBA with the No. 1 pick after Yao Ming." Yang Yi was also excited. This is the No. 1 pick, and China has another No. 1 player.

You must know that in China with a population of 1.3 billion, there was only one Yao Ming who entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick before this, and there will be one more after that.

That is Lian Dao!

So, what is Lian Dao doing at this time.

The moment he heard that he was the champion, he was also very excited, and he couldn't help hugging Guo Yuwei beside him.

Although I had a premonition before, but when I really became the champion, the excitement was uncontrollable.

And when people are emotionally excited, they are extra bold. No, it directly exposes their inner thoughts.

After embracing her, she didn't care about Guo Yuwei's little surprised expression, and then hugged her mother again.

Then, he took a deep breath, then turned around and bumped fists with DeMar and James Harden.

He then took the Knicks hat from the staff and walked to the stage.

On the stage, he also reached out to Stern actively as he walked.

"Congratulations, I wish you the best of luck together!"

Stern also blessed Lian Dao with a kind smile.

After shaking hands, Lian Dao took a group photo with the camera in front of him.

The suit that Lian Dao wears today is carefully tailored. The dragon pattern embroidery on the sleeves, the cloud pattern pattern, and the golden yellow embroidery of the Chinese character "China" on the chest show the unique characteristics of China.

The audience at the scene didn't react much, they just felt very handsome.

But fans who watched the live broadcast of the draft in China discovered these small details.

This is a romance unique to Chinese people!

After taking the photo, Lian Dao went to the stage to accept the reporter's interview.

In fact, this kind of question is almost the same every year, which is to ask about the Knicks' understanding and expectations.

"The Knicks are a very good team. They have a glorious history. The golden generation in the 1970s also won two championships. Including in 1994 and 1999, the Knicks also reached the finals. I know there are good players like Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, David Lee, Danilo Gallinari on the team, and a good coach like D'Antoni , I look forward to joining them!"

At this time, it is time to test EQ. High EQ: I look forward to joining; Low EQ: I will lead the team to the playoffs!

Lian Dao's NCAA experience this season also taught him how to deal with media interviews.

When Lian Dao was being interviewed, he would look out of the corner of his eye from time to time to see if there were any staff coming around~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was not sure whether the New York Knicks would trade him, after all, the other teams this year showed Chips are just too tempting.

Lian Dao was the No. 1 pick, so he was the first to accept questions from reporters.

Lian Dao came to the media interview room.

As the No. 1 pick, there are really too many places worthy of attention.

Not to mention anything else, the number one pick alone is the most attractive.

Lian Dao was also very busy in the media room.

After finally dealing with the American media, he was interviewed by Yang Yi from China.

Of course, Yang Yi's questions are only related to Lian Dao's future plans, such as how to integrate into the team, the goals of the rookie season, and so on.

After he finally finished the interview, he also found that Downey had also called.

After a brief exchange, both parties ended the call happily.

And in Downey's communication, he learned that he is not for sale of the Knicks.

In this regard, Lian Dao just smiled when he heard it. In the business league, even superstars can be traded, let alone a rookie who hasn't played a game. As long as the price is right, in their eyes, there is nothing that cannot be traded. of.

Although he didn't take Downey's promise to heart, being able to say this kind of promise also shows how much the Knicks value him.
