I am Really an Insider

　　 Early in the morning on June 24th, Beijing time, many Chinese fans were waiting in front of the TV with anticipation, waiting for the special live broadcast.

　　 As early as 10 days ago, the NBA Finals had come to an end.

　　 Auburn Hills Palace Stadium, the Detroit Pistons beat the Lakers with F4 combination by 100 to 87, winning the O'Brien Cup with a total score of 4-1!

　　 This is definitely one of the most unexpected endings in NBA history.

　　 Of course, who is the championship and who is the FMVP? This is something that fans care about ten days ago.

　　 The 03-04 season has ended, and the ownership of the championship has already had results.

　　 Today, what fans care about is not the game, but the 2004 NBA Draft.

　　 As the saying goes, the finals are about two teams, and the draft is about the fate of 30 teams.

　　 Well, this year, it is exactly the fate of 29 teams.

　　 Although the addition of Charlotte Bobcats, the league has 30 teams.

　　 The Timberwolves’ “yin and yang contract” incident caused them to be deprived of the first-round pick for five years.

　　 Therefore, there are only 29 overall picks in the first round, and there is nothing wrong with the Timberwolves in the first round.

　　 The NBA draft has attracted a lot of attention, no less than the NBA Finals.

　　 And this time, this huge influence also spread to China on the other side of the ocean.

　　 Because Wayne received an invitation from the league a few days ago.

　　 Because Wayne was predicted to be selected in the lottery zone, he was lucky enough to enter the "little green house" and became the first Chinese player in NBA history to participate in the draft on the spot!

　　 CCTV has long planned to broadcast the whole process of the draft, and fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.

　　 So when this news comes out, it can be said to be a universal celebration.

　　 Wayne’s news has been circulating in China for more than half a year, and now, he is finally about to meet with the NBA.

　　 "Hey, don't tell me, Xiao Wei really has the potential to be an entertainment star." When Director Zhang saw Wayne in a suit and leather shoes outside Madison Square Garden, he couldn't help but joked with his colleagues.

　　 Wayne immediately went up to say hello after seeing Zhang guiding them.

　　 He wore a Chinese red suit today, and his long hair in summer was combed meticulously. He looked like an adult.

　　 In fact, Wayne doesn't like this hairstyle, but for the sake of being on the spot in the draft, Schwartz forced him to make his hair.

　　 When the draft is over, Wayne will shave back his short hair.

　　As a sports boy, how can he be obsessed with his own looks!

　　 In 2004, most domestic athletes did not pay much attention to their appearance. So when Wayne appeared in front of the big guy, many people were still amazed.

　　 was originally online, but also dressed up specially, which is really a bit of an entertainment star.

　　 "Director Zhang, you are here."

　　 "Hey, good, good, very energetic! Are you nervous?" Director Zhang said, and squeezed Wayne's arm.

　　 Good guy, it's thicker again, and a lot of meat hangs in the summer!

　　 "It's okay, it's mainly because I haven't experienced this kind of occasion, and I don't know what to do." Wayne scratched his head, he was a little nervous.

　　 But it's not that I'm nervous about not being selected, but a kind of nervousness about unfamiliar situations.

　　 Wayne believes that the embarrassment of sitting in a small green house until the second round before hearing his name, like the little Jordan, should not happen to him.

　　 The Blazers are basically stable, and Wayne still has this confidence.

　　 As for the Pacers... Schwartz only told Wayne that they might trade up for the draft picks and cut their heads before the Blazers.

　　 But Wayne doesn't know if it can be done.

　　 "Well, don't worry too much. Your mock draft is quite high. I think there is a high probability that you will not be able to get out of the lottery. Quickly adjust and adjust, let's start the interview."

　　Director Zhang finished speaking and signaled the camera to prepare.

　　 After a while, all Chinese fans saw Wayne on the TV.

　　 At this time, I don’t know how many girls who accidentally saw the live broadcast were attracted by the handsome-looking guy on the TV.

　　 Then, in thousands of families, such conversations took place.

　　 "Dad/brother/brother, what are you looking at?"

　　 "This is the NBA Draft!"

　　 "NBA Draft? Is it a great variety show?"

　　 "It's not a question of whether it's great or not, this is the kind, the kind... Forget it, I can't explain it to you, why do you care about this?"

　　 "It's nothing, but this person looks pretty."

　　 "......"

"What's his name?"

　　 "Wayne."

　　 "Oh, singing?"

　　 "...Playing basketball, don't ask if you do."

　　 "Don't coax me, the basketball player is called Yao Ming."

　　 "...I'm too lazy to talk to you."

　　 "Cut it, don't explain it, let me see for myself."

　　 Not only in China, Wayne was also watched and photographed by many American journalists outside Madison Square Garden.

　　The NBA Draft will probably start around 2015, and the suits of the players have only become richer, and they need to be fashionable and fashionable.

　　 And now in 2004, everyone's suits are almost all black, dark blue, and gray.

　　 Wayne's red color is in this one, which is really dazzling.

　　 After answering a few simple questions from Director Zhang, Wayne walked into Madison Square Garden with his parents and Schwartz.

　　 The flashes on both sides of the entrance made Wayne unable to open his eyes at all.

　　 For some rookies, this day may be their most high-profile day.

　　Because there are quite a few of them, it is very likely that they will disappear after entering the league, and will not receive so much attention afterwards.

　　 As soon as Wayne walked into the court, he ran into the No. 1 candidate Okafor.

　　 At this time, this Mr. Perfect is being interviewed by reporters.

　　 As the No. 1 candidate, the number of reporters around him can be known.

　　Okafor's smile froze when he saw Wayne. But his strong professionalism still kept him smiling in front of the camera.

　　 After Paul continued, the second smirk boy went online.

　　 "Hello Wei."

　　 "Hello, Emeka."

　　 The two shook hands, and countless camera shots were also aimed at the opponents in the March Madness Finals.

　　 They have thought about the title: "What spark will the old opponents in the NBA spark?"

　　 "Good luck to you today."

　　 "The same is true for you, I hope you can become the top pick."

　　 When Wayne said this, he felt a little too fake.

　　 Because he knew that Okafor would not be the top pick...

　　If Okafor is the No. 1 pick, Orlando's No. 1 will not go to Houston. If he does not go to Houston, the youthful memories of Chinese fans will be gone.

　　 This butterfly effect, thinking about it, is really far-reaching.

　　 "Ave, I think you have a good relationship." After shaking hands with Okafor, Wayne's father asked with a smile.

　　 "Um... OK, OK, ordinary friends, he and I are both players under the Schwartz banner." Wayne nodded awkwardly.

　　 The relationship is good? Yeah, I want to squeeze your heart to death...

　　 Wayne sat down with his parents, and Schwartz went to accompany Okafor first. Schwartz will come to Wayne's table when Okafor finishes the election.

　　 After the family of three sat down, Wayne found that his table was basically the least crowded.

　　 But this is also good, simpler.

　　 Wayne invited the old Sutton, but Sutton said that he was too embarrassed to cry in the draft, so he declined Wayne's invitation.

　　 As for Mr. Tony, he can only watch the results of his draft on TV with the family at home.

　　 "Wayne is here." At this time, in the box, Donnie Walsh saw Wayne.

　　 His red suit is hardly conspicuous.

　　 "Yeah." Bird nodded solemnly.

　　 "How did you talk over there?"

　　 "It's almost done."

　　 "It's almost done? That's not agreed."

　　 "..." Byrd was speechless, if it weren't for Walsh's getting older, he would really like to punch him with an old punch.

　　 Nima, should I be so blunt, I force someone to lose face?

　　 Bird knew that the SuperSonics lacked a point guard. Last season they could only use "Whites can fly" Brent Barry to play the starting point guard. This shows how lack of people in this position.

　　 At first glance, Barry's assist data is not bad, and he himself gives a feeling of high quotient.

　　 But if you look at how many turnovers he made, you won't think he is a qualified starting PG.

　　 Projection type second position is more suitable for the role of old Barry. You let him play PG with the ball, which is really a strong man and lock man.

　　 Therefore, Bird took the initiative to offer the main point guard Jamal Tinsley + the 29th overall pick in the first round, and wanted to change the 12th overall pick in the hands of Wally Walker.

　　The premise is that Wayne is not picked before the 12th pick.

　　 However, Wally Walker tactfully rejected Bird.

　　 The short translation of his words is: "You are afraid that you are thinking about fart."

　　 "Wayne is very popular. He has played in Seattle and I have seen his performance.

　　 So, Larry, such a good rookie, a Tinsley may not be replaced. "

　　 Jamal Tinsley, a third-year guard, averaged 8.3 points and 5.8 assists per game last season. He played fancy games and was known as "the man who played the NBA on the street."

Gone.

　　 This is Tinsley, a qualified but only qualified main point guard.

　　 He does have potential, after all, he is only in the third grade. But Wally Walker does not believe that such potential is worth a lottery pick.

　　 Then, Wally Walker Lions opened his mouth. He said he needed the sixth man of the Pacers last season, Al Harrington, who averaged 13.3 points per game!

　　 Harrington is added to the bargaining chip, and this matter can be discussed.

　　 Harrington is an important part of the Pacers. Last season, he ranked second in the best sixth man selection, not much behind the first Antoine Jamison.

　　Moreover, compared with Jamison, the two are very similar both in position and play style.

　　Everyone knows that if Harrington is given more playing time and put him in the starting lineup, he will definitely perform better.

　　 Harrington is a good addition to the Sonics who are aiming to hit the playoffs.

　　 A trade can not only solve the problem of the starting point guard, but also have a reliable scorer. Isn't he good?

　　 Then, the negotiation came to a deadlock.

　　 Bird is not reluctant to bear Harrington, in fact, Harrington is destined to leave this summer.

　　 Just a few days after the end of the season, Harrington called Bird: "If I can't sit on the starting line next season, then I want to be traded."

　　 For a role like the sixth man, Harrington is tired of it.

　　 There are two time bombs, Artest and O'Neal, in the dressing room of the Pacers, and Bird doesn't want to have another Harrington complaining.

　　 So, he has put Harrington on the trade list.

　　 It's just that Bird's plan is not to send Harrington to Seattle. He keeps Harrington for other purposes.

　　 After all, the Pacers need to introduce more than Wayne. There is no guarantee that the Pacers will definitely defeat the Pistons by relying on one more Wayne.

　　 Later, the two sides talked a few times, and they all went wrong with Harrington. As a result, the transaction was temporarily suspended.

　　 Bird has no choice. Among all lottery teams, the Sonics and the 76ers are willing to accept immediate combat power.

　　 The other ones are useless for instant combat power.

　　 But the 76ers are determined to want Iguodala, and Bird can only find supersonics.

　　 But Wally Walker did not say anything to death. He also told Bird last night: "Call me whenever you think about it, even after the draft."

　　 Bird was so angry, it was the first time someone was pinched in his hand like this!

　　 Just as Bird recalled the whole story of the transaction, the 2004 NBA Draft officially began and David Stern took the stage.

　　 On the CCTV side, Mr. Sun Zhengping also started to bring live drafts to fans.

　　 "NBA President David Stern is about to take the stage to give a speech, and the draft will begin soon! Today, Wayne wore a red suit, which is very festive, I hope he can have a good ending."

　　 After a motion speech, David Stern looked at the manuscript paper in his hand, and then approached the microphone.

　　 The 29-team gambling game is officially open!

　　 "The Orlando Magic chose the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NBA Draft...Dwight Howard, from Southwestern Christian College, Atlanta."

　　 Happy Beast happily became the champion with a happy smile.

　　 Okafor at the other table sighed depressed with a depressed expression.

　　 At this time, Okafor could only sigh with emotion: "It's nice to be young."

　　If he were a freshman, there would be nothing wrong with Howard.

　　 The Chinese fans are so happy, the Magic chose Howard instead of Okafor, which means that the probability of Mosaic getting the scoring champion McGrady has increased!

"High school player Dwight Howard became the No. 1 pick in this year's draft! Howard, who just graduated from high school this year, is a big player with a style similar to Garnett. He has excellent ball handling, mid-to-long range shooting, passing, and breakthrough. The ability to rebound and block shots, fast footsteps and good ball control made up for his lack of physical strength." Sun Zhengping immediately introduced the champion to the fans based on the information in hand.

　　 A few years later, when Teacher Sun Zhengping recalled this information, he probably only wanted to say two words: "Cheating!"

　　Okafor, like the original history, fell to the second overall pick and settled in the Bobcats.

　　 Although the perfect smile on his face remained when he shook hands with Stern, in fact there were countless horses running around in his heart.

　　 Schwartz sighed. He did his best to help Okafor and communicated with Magic more than once.

　　 But since Magic chose to rebuild, Okafor would definitely not be the best choice. There is no way to do this. It's useless to say that his mouth is blistering.

　　 But there are Charlotte benefits in Charlotte, at least Okafor can scan data as much as he wants.

　　The third overall pick is the Bulls' turn, and Okafor's little brother Ben Gordon is on the list.

　　 Wayne looked at his parents and patted his chest: "Just now I came on stage, two of them, both of whom were defeated by me."

　　 "I see you are pulling very hard, you are so fierce, then why are you not the first three." Wayne's father smiled.

　　 "Hey, don't do anything. In this draft, no one wins the top rankings, it's complicated!"

　　 Fourth overall, high school genius Livingston played.

After 　　 until 10th, the results of the draft were the same as Wayne's previous life.

　　 However, the 10th Cavaliers are really fascinating. They already have a mousse, but with such a high overall pick, Luke Jackson, a white small forward...

　　 The draft of the Cavaliers is really hard to describe, unless the answer is very clear like James, otherwise they don't seem to be very good at picking people.

　　 But don't worry about Luke Jackson, he is not the most fascinated yet.

　　 In the future, if nothing else, there will be another guy named Anthony Bennett who will be more fascinated than him.

　　 11th overall, the Warriors contentedly won Biedrins, who has a professional background.

　　 In fact, the Warriors management had struggled between Wayne and Biedrins for a while, but in the end they thought Biedrins, who was already a professional player, was a safer choice.

　　 In this way, Wayne is basically certain to be selected at the 13th overall.

　　 Well, if Wayne is a shooting guard, it is estimated that the 13th pick will give him a lot of attention.

　　 Steve Patterson also let out a sigh of relief, the only warrior who could intercept Hu Weien did not make a move, he finally got the hot man he dreamed of!

　　 Wayne, come to the bowl!

　　 At this time, Schwartz's cell phone rang next to Wayne.

　　 He just responded a few times, nodded a few times, and then hung up the phone.

　　 Then, he leaned to Wayne's ear.

　　 "Wei, try not to talk about anything related to Seattle when he is interviewed later."

　　 "Huh? Seattle?" Wayne looked dazed, what kind of operation is this.

　　 Going to play IT basketball?

　　On the stage, David Stern spoke again.

　　 "The Twelfth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft, the Seattle SuperSonics chose... Wayne, from Oklahoma State University."

　　 "Wang Defa!?" In the box, Patterson directly wondered if Stern was dim-eyed.

　　 Seattle Supersonics? There is no intelligence that they would choose Wayne!

　　 Still saying... is the supersonic speed chosen for others?

　　 This Nima is just one pick higher, so take it or not!

　　 Wayne stood up mechanically, but soon smiled again.

　　 Although I don't know the details yet, Wayne can probably guess that it is estimated that the Pacers have been made up.

　　 The reason why we should not talk about Seattle is to avoid embarrassment.

　　 Otherwise, you just finished saying "I love Seattle" on your side, and you found out right away that you were traded. Could you be embarrassed?

　　 IT basketball has become a country basketball again.

　　 In the luxurious box of the Pacers, Bird took a deep breath.

　　 A stone in his heart finally fell.

　　 For this guy, for the first time in his career he made such a lore deal.

　　 One and a half minutes before the announcement of the draft results, Bird finally let go, promised to fill in a Harrington for the Sonics, and eat Potapenko's premium contract to balance the deal.

　　 Wayne is here, um, although it cost him a great price, he lost the best sixth man who was otherwise useful.

　　 This time, he was steadily mistaken by Wally Walker.

　　 There is no way, the party that actively proposes the transaction is often at an absolute disadvantage.

　　 But it’s okay~www.ltnovel.com~ Wayne can come.

　　 Moreover, Bird can go to pit others and make up for the loss.

　　 In fact, he already has a new plan to execute, but that is the second step.

　　 NBA, isn't it just a friendly and sweet family where you cheat me and I cheat you.

　　The people here are friendly and honest.

"Hahaha, Chinese player Wayne was finally selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 12th place! He is the player with the highest overall pick in the NBA draft after Yao Ming, and the second player to be selected in the lottery area. player of!"

　　 Sun Zhengping, like many Chinese fans, cheered.

　　 Wayne stepped onto the stage, and Father David Stern handed him the baseball cap of the Sonics.

　　Wayne refused to put this green hat on his head...

　　 Nima, can't the Sonics hat change the color? When Yi Jianlian was selected by the Bucks, everyone wore a white hat.

　　 "Congratulations, Wayne, I look forward to your performance." Stern patted Wayne's arm. Can you not expect it? Here comes another rich man.

　　 Seeing Stern’s smile stiffened, Wayne bit his head and put on his hat.

　　 Then, it was the classic, shaking hands with Stern.

　　 Everything is finally settled.

"You got your wish, Bird. So, can he really help you get closer to the championship?" Walsh wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. It is estimated that no championship team will engage in the draft. So many things.

　　 "Yes, yes, he will definitely help us, Downey." Byrd lit a cigar, pretending to be shocked.

　　 The first step to reinforce is to be taken out.
