Chapter 87 The 2000 NBA Draft (6K(1/3)
In addition to them, Zhang Weiping was also inside.
However, compared with those big media, he only has one position, and his position in that corner is a bit shabby.
This is also impossible. The Chinese market is very large, but the NBA has not opened much, so the media people are naturally limited in their attention.
So you can also imagine why Zhang Weiping went to Staples Center in the first place.
As the first media person to enter the NBA in the domestic media, he is the person who most hopes that Sun Hao will be selected besides Sun Hao.
Thinking about the reaction of Wang Zhizhi being selected as a domestic fan, you will know how much impact Sun Hao will have if he enters the first round and lands in the NBA.
The star effect is most obvious in sports.
Sun Hao and the others are located not far from the media area.
After everyone else sat down, he and Su Qun went to the media area to chat with Zhang Weiping.
Zhang Weiping's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't hide his joy.
He has been a journalist in the United States for several years, but he is very lonely every year when he squats in the corner.
In the past drafts, he basically looked at flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, which had nothing to do with him.
Finally, Wang Zhizhi was selected last year, but he couldn't come to China.
This is the first time in so many years that he has been able to chat with the Chinese who participated in the draft.
That kind of joy really cannot be hidden.
"Xiao Sun, you were chosen to take a photo with Stern. I have a small national flag, the kind you can post. You can post it in a suit and show it when taking a photo. This is also our China no.1."
Sun Hao took it with a smile and then stuck it to the inside of the suit.
"Don't be nervous, I've talked to Kupchek. People are really satisfied with you, just wait and get on stage."
Zhang Weiping came over and said in a low voice, and after that, he couldn't help but laugh and pat Sun Hao on the shoulder.
"If you get off the stage later, there will be espn reporters interviewing you, and there will be other media after that. Finally, it will be our exclusive interview with CCTV. You can think about what to say in advance."
Sun Hao nodded. Zhang Weiping was really more dedicated than himself.
While chatting, Sun Hao noticed Youdao's eyes looked at him, and turned to see that it was a "magic".
Johnson is the first point guard in NBA history, although he has only played 13 seasons.
If it weren't for AIDS, his career could have lasted to 15 seasons or even close to 20.
After all, the point guard's career is the longest among all positions.
But there is no if.
After retiring due to AIDS in 1991 and playing for a season in 1995, Johnson completely gave up professional basketball.
After retiring, he used his outstanding dual business to create a personal business empire, and the assets of "Magic Johnson Entertainment" reached 2 billion.
He himself was also free to be a special guest of the NBA and went to the commentary seat from time to time to experience it.
When Sun Hao looked over, the magician smiled sweetly at him.
Sun Hao also responded with a smile.
Fortunately, he is a magician, not a magician's son.
Johnson is a Lakers celebrity, the kind of person who has the label of "Lakeman" in his bones.
His smile only represents one thing, and he has already treated Sun Hao as a "Lakeman".
It seems that everything has already been Sun Hao going to Ding Lakers.
In fact, this kind of thing is normal at the NBA draft conference in this era.
Because the information is not smooth, many teams may not understand the people they want to choose.
So that kind of intercepting the bells usually happens to popular rookies.
Sun Hao can't get along with the popular ones.
After chatting with Zhang Weiping, Sun Hao and Su Qun returned to their seats and waited.
It was not until this time that Sun Hao discovered that Paul Fu was back.
This guy hasn't seen anyone all day.
"Where did you go?"
Sun Hao couldn't help asking.
"Go to meet with the general managers of each team. I just finished chatting with Zanick."
After saying that, Fu Paul picked up the mineral water and poured it into his mouth. It seemed that he was busy and had no time to drink water.
"What are you talking about?"
"I said you are a Christian."
“…”
Sun Hao was a little overwhelmed.
Most Americans know that Utah is a concentration of Mormon believers.
Mormonism is considered a branch of Christianity, and Paul Fu is getting close to it and has a thick skin to a certain extent.
But this is completely understandable. If the Jazz can impress the Jazz, Sun Hao can soar to the 23rd pick.
The higher the pick, the more attention the team will pay.
This is also the reason why Sun Hao said he should be given priority when Paul asked him about the ranking.
"Are you a Christian?"
Su Qun suddenly came over and asked.
He is just a curious baby.
This is also a common problem for literati, because they are full of thoughts on articles, sometimes they don’t have attention, and they don’t look very smart.
Sun Hao and Fu Paul looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.
You, better write your article.
After a while, the draft teams of each team began to enter the court.
There are many offices on the second floor of Madison Square Garden, which will be arranged for each team during the draft.
During the draft, each team will print the final draft results on the paper strips, and then put the paper strips into envelopes and seal them to the league draft office.
Finally, Stern took the envelope to the front desk to announce the final result.
This is also why fans have to unpack the envelope every time they see Stern.
Even when information is developed in the future, this tradition has continued.
Sun Hao and the others were chatting when suddenly a tall figure appeared behind them.
Sun Hao turned around and found that it was Old Nelson.
Old Nelson is also a professional player who retires. He is nearly two meters tall and develops after retirement. He is huge in size, giving people a great sense of pressure.
In addition, his roaring style when coaching makes people stand out without anger.
However, when he saw Sun Hao, he smiled and took the initiative to reach out.
This old man seems to be very interested in him.
He chatted with Sun Hao for a few words, all of which were irrelevant. When Harris was shouting there, he smiled and shook hands with Sun Hao before he was about to leave.
"I'm waiting for you in Dallas."
Before leaving, Old Nelson threw down this sentence.
Domineering CEO.
It felt like he was going to Dallas.
Sun Hao was confused after hearing this.
The Mavericks' second round pick this year was 31 picks, which was very high, but the Lakers had 29 picks.
Did the Mavericks not receive the information that the Lakers wanted to choose him?
This is unlikely.
Or maybe the Mavericks received the message that the Lakers would not choose him?
Or, may the Mavericks choose him with the 12th pick?
Sun Hao thought of shook his head.
This becomes less reliable the more you think about it.
Sure enough, I really don’t know what will happen until the beginning of the draft.
Time passed little by little, and in the media area, Barkley and the others had already started to have a hot spot.
