Chapter 195 The 2001 NBA Draft(2/2)

Team owner Polling, Operations President Jordan, General Manager Wes Anseld, including the team's new coach Collins, and some others in the draft team are all included.

In fact, the talent show is really a huge project.

Even until the second before the decision is made, any possibility exists.

Anseld hung up the phone and spoke.

"Houston has raised the price, and they are willing to give the 13th pick this year."

After saying this, there was a burst of discussion in the talent show hut.

The Wizards won the No. 1 pick, and in a draft year, it was normal for someone to get it to trade.

Houston is the most passionate team among them.

In order to get the No. 1 pick this year, they were already willing to give Francis as a bargaining chip.

Now I have added the No. 13 sign.

This is really heart-warming.

You should know that Francis was the second best player in the 1999 draft, and he was the kind of quasi-All-star player who had already played out.

If you add a lottery for the New Year of the Draft, you have to consider this transaction.

"Who is it worth the price that those guys in Houston pay?"

Pauline couldn't help but speak.

Because of Olajuwon, the league still has a deep memory of Houston.

Time has changed, and the Houston team has now all declined, and all that is left is memories and feelings.

But it seems that they have found the "new key" to the rise again.

There was a silence in the draft cabin.

No one knows who that person is, or Kwame Brown, or Chandler, or Yao Ming, Gasol, or Curry. No one knows.

Because Houston can't tell them.

"Michael, make the decision."

Paulin said.

He is counting on Jordan in the new season, including the team's head coach, all of them were found by Jordan.

The talent show is naturally based on his opinions.

"Reject them, if someone deserves their fanfare, it means my judgment is right."

The God of Basketball is the God of Basketball, and you don’t forget to pretend to be a fool if you say anything.

“Daily~”

Just then someone came to knock on the door.

Stern's lines have been read over there, and the Wizards, who are the first pick, are going to make their choice.

A fierce discussion began in the small talent show room.

Jordan held his forehead with his hands and pressed gently.

He also had two villains fighting fiercely in his mind now.

At the end of the discussion, there is not much time left, so it depends on Jordan's idea.

Jordan said a name, Anseld was about to write it.

But Jordan immediately changed his name.

The God of Basketball has a rare hesitation.

"Michael, are you sure?"

Anseld was afraid that Jordan would change his mind again, so he spoke up and made a decision.

Jordan thought about it and nodded, indicating that he would not change it anymore.

...

Stern once again walked from behind the scenes to the front stage.

In his hand, he held an envelope containing the final selection of the Wizards.

For a moment, everyone in the small green room looked at the stage.

Although the result of the No. 1 pick is likely to be born among those popular rookies, who doesn’t want to get a surprise?

Of course, the most nervous ones are the most popular candidates for the No. 1 pick, and they are also players invited by the Wizards to participate in the trial.

Kwame Brown, Chandler, Yao Ming.

Sun Hao stretched out his hand. If it were Yi Jianlian, he would have to touch his head, but Yao Ming still patted the latter's shoulder again, indicating that he didn't have to be too nervous.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2001, the Washington Wizards chose..."

Stern opened the envelope and deliberately paused when he read the result.

The scene also fell into silence.

Sun Hao could feel that Kwame Brown had stretched her neck to the longest, and a little longer could be compared to Chris Bosh.

"Yao Ming, 2.26 meters center, comes from China."

When Stern announced the final result, there was no cheers at the scene, but instead a burst of restlessness.

Yao Ming, a player who has never appeared in the eyes of American fans in the past year, actually surpassed several popular players and became the No. 1 pick in the NBA in 2001!

This is really unexpected!

Not to mention that fans unexpectedly did it, Yao Ming and Kwame Brown did not react.

Especially Brown, he was extremely depressed when he could see him, and even his eyes began to turn red.

However, after a moment of surprise, Yao Ming took a long breath and vented the tension in his heart, and then stood up.

Around him, his parents, Li Qiuping, and Sun Hao also stood up.

Yao Ming hugged them one by one.

Including Sun Hao.

"Great!"

Sun Hao patted Yao Ming on the shoulder again, and he was also the one who was smiling happily at this time.

To be honest, he was just helping Yao Ming fight hard, but he didn't expect that Yao Ming did it in the end.

Just like the slightly pretentious words Yao Ming said during the trial, they don’t seem to be very strong.

Yao Ming was able to get this No. 1 pick because he really relied on his own strength to win.

After hugging and sitting down, Sun Hao's cell phone rang.

"Boy, I hope your Chinese companions can be as outstanding as you."

Sun Hao picked it up and saw that it was sent by Jordan.

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then couldn't help laughing.

This choice has something to do with you.

"Michael, after a few years, you have another thing worth bragging about."

Sun Hao replied.

This time, it's reasonable and decent. You don't have to think about it and know Jordan on the other end of the phone. He will definitely smile knowingly at this time.

"Yao Ming! He is the No. 1 pick! The first in Chinese history! He is also the first overseas top pick who has no relationship with the United States!"

At the broadcast seat, Zhang Weiping was excitedly forgotten how he spoke.

The first overseas top pick in NBA history was the 1984 draft pick. The top pick at that time was Klay Thompson, his father Mitchell Thompson.

After that, Olajuwon, Ewing, and Duncan all played outstanding careers.

The only one who performed poorly was the last Olovokandi, a famous parallel product.

But these people are not American nationality, but later they became American nationality, or from areas around the United States.

But Yao Ming, as Zhang Weiping said, is the only pure overseas top scorer.

This is definitely a historic moment!

"Sun Hao and Yao Ming, there is hope for the future of Chinese basketball!"

Su Qun choked while speaking.

At this moment, hundreds of millions of domestic fans are also cheering in front of the TV.

Because of Sun Hao, the foundation of domestic basketball fans has developed rapidly, and Yao Ming was elected as the No. 1 pick, which is definitely another booster.

Not to mention the next Olympics, the Asian Championships that are about to come is already enviable enough!
