Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 138 135. After Becoming the Number One Scholar ([-] words)

Xiao Ding, who switched from the Wizards cap to the Mavericks cap, became the focus of the audience!

"The Wizards traded Ding? Why? I need to know all the details of the transaction!"

ESPN's top commentator Mike Brin was stunned, and said ESPN's powerful intelligence system, they didn't hear any rumors about this deal...

Because of this blockbuster trade, no one looked at the next picks in the 2010 NBA draft.

The second John Wall whose name was called was not at all proud of being the No. [-] pick in the NBA. He walked onto the high stage with a wry smile.

There were no warm cheers in his ears, and it could even be said that no one paid attention to him except his family.

Stern also noticed Wall's embarrassment, and he patted Wall's back lightly, "Congratulations on entering the NBA, try to be yourself."

Wall nodded awkwardly and politely.

He understood what Stern meant, but he had to look at who was in front of him if he wanted to be himself.

On the surface, Wall can compete with Xiaoding for the top pick. In fact, no matter which team wins the top pick, it will unswervingly choose Xiaoding.

Wall has to bear the status of the second child since he entered the league.

Moreover, the worst part of Wall is that no one cares who he is.

The audience in front of the TV is tweeting like crazy.

"Ding Yan Yuhang went to the Dallas Mavericks to team up with Dirk Nowitzki?"

"It's crazy, the situation in Texas has completely changed!"

"Ding, Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry, Marion... Isn't the Mavericks' book strength too scary?"

"It's time to say those five words, Mavericks champion!"

"Then the question is, what are the details of the trade between the Wizards and the Mavericks?"

Fans now just want to know how the Mavericks got the No. [-] pick, so that the subsequent draft is just a formality.

Turner was selected by the Nets with the third overall pick.

……

Until the tenth pick, the Indiana Pacers selected Paul George.

With the No. 11 pick, the New Orleans Hornets selected Kawhi Leonard.

Brother Kazi, like Xiao Ding, only wore the Hornets ball cap for a few minutes, and then changed to the Pacers ball cap.

Kajiao formed the combination 9 years in advance.

With a big wave of his hand, Larry Bird took both the two newcomers he admired into his bag.

Besides Cuban, Bird should be the happiest team executive of the night.

Coach Tommy also fulfilled his promise and successfully became the assistant coach of the Pacers.

At the end of the first round, Shu Hao's name was not called.

But when the results of the second round were announced, the Dallas Mavericks selected Jeremy Lin with the 20th pick in the second round and the 50th overall pick.

Shuhao is very excited to be able to continue to play with Xiaoding. He has never been to the Mavericks for trial training. The Mavericks will choose him, definitely because of Xiaoding.

The draft was drawing to a close, and the Mavericks-Wizards deal only surfaced.

The Dallas Mavericks sent 'Jets' Jason Terry and former Wizards player 'Hot Juice' Caron Butler, 2011 and 2013 first-round picks.

From the Washington Wizards got the 'General' Arenas and Yi Jianlian who just traded from the Nets and the 2010 No. [-] pick!

Let alone Ah Lian, the Nets did not intend to keep him in order to clear space.

The same is true for the Wizards. Abandoning Xiaoding means that they have given up the Chinese market, so there is no need to keep the UAE.

Counting Shuhao who was just selected in the second round of the draft, the Mavericks have unprecedented three Chinese faces, plus Wang Zhizhi, a "chasing boy" who used to play here, and Hu Weidong, who won the No. 8 jersey. Dallas has replaced Houston as the new main battlefield for Chinese fans.

However, the highlight of this deal is still the 'General' Arenas.

Arenas used to be Agent Zero, but now Arenas is a dangerous guy who fights with his younger brother at gunpoint.

Last December, Arenas was suspended indefinitely by the Wizards for the gunshot, and at the same time faced the league's accountability and prosecution.

A serious knee injury and a brain-dead scandal, no matter how he is after his comeback, in the eyes of all team managers, his contract is one of the most rubbish among active players in the NBA, or even none.

Now, the Mavericks have exchanged two cost-effective, high-quality players who are still in their prime for a former All-Star who is not sure whether he can play or not.

What's more, there are two future first-round picks, and everyone in the circle can see that the Mavericks have paid a huge price for Xiaoding's signing rights without explaining it!
But, Cuban, the Mavericks owner is as happy as winning the lottery.

He really likes Xiaoding so much, even if Arenas has a 6-year 1.1 million contract, it doesn't matter if he doesn't play for 1 minute.

Cuban believes that Ding Yan Yuhang will become the new totem of the Mavericks!

Dirk Nowitzki quickly responded, "Terry and I are very good friends. I feel sorry for him leaving the team, but I believe he can play at a high level in any team in the league. He is an incredible player..."

When the reporter asked Xiao Ding, Nowitzki immediately showed his aunt smile, "I am Ding's fan. Since the first time I played against him in the 2008 Imperial Capital Olympic Games, I have been his fan and have not changed."

He doesn't care whether he can be teammates with Arenas, because he knows that Arenas is not important, and Xiaoding, who is full of blood, is his winning partner.

Arenas, who was on vacation in LA, didn't know in advance that he would be traded by the team. He was blocked by reporters at a friend's party.

Arenas received a call from his agent.

"I was traded by the Wizards?"

"Yes, you're going to Dallas next season."

"M*****F***!"

Arenas's emotions collapsed. After taking the shot, his emotions have been reduced to underestimation. He had high expectations for the 09-10 season, but in the end he ruined everything just to show off his temper, "So, they gave up on me for the new champion?"

"No no no, I have good news for you. The new champion Ding Yan Yuhang will go to the Dallas Mavericks with you!"

Arenas turned from collapse to confusion, "What are you talking about?"

The Wizards traded the No. [-] pick. Arenas did not expect, "Is Ernie crazy?"

The agent is embarrassed to say that the Mavericks chose to open this deal because of Ding Yanyuhang, and you, Gilbert Arenas, are just negative equity.

"Arenas, next season is your last chance to prove yourself, play well in the Mavericks, otherwise you will have no future at all..."

"..."

Arenas hung up the phone.

He looks back at the frantic media footage.

The reporter yelled, "Arenas, do you know you were traded by the Wizards?"

Arenas's mind was spinning rapidly, choosing to remain silent or to stand up and respond.

The biggest problem before him is how to restore his public image.

After thinking for a while, he opened the door of his friend's house, and then was interviewed by reporters under the escort of his friends.

"Yes, I just found out."

Seeing Arenas' calm tone, the reporter tried to stimulate him, "Dallas Mavericks is Dirk Nowitzki's team, and there are new champions Ding Yan Yuhang and Jason Kidd in the team. Do you think you can accept the new role?"

The implication of the reporter's words is that Arenas is going to be the fourth child of the Mavericks. How do you feel?

"What new role? My role is a basketball player, nothing more!"

Arenas did not respond positively.

"But you won't be the team's first choice for scoring."

"Then I will focus on the defensive end. Do you know what I am thinking recently? I have proved myself on the offensive end. Next, I want to attack the defensive line!"

"By the way, next season, you will see me making many, many three-pointers!"

The reporters were stunned. Arenas planned to let go of his super scorer figure and concentrate on being a 3D player?

Arenas didn't just say that in his current state, it is impossible for him to compete with Nowitzki and Ding Yan Yuhang for the ball.

Moreover, there is an old monster like Jason Kidd in the team, and it is not his turn to talk about seniority.

Instead of continuing to make trouble, it is better to speak out the good words first to win the favor of new teammates and new coaches.

The reporters who originally wanted to hear the wild words from Arenas left angrily.

They saw a different feeling from Agent Zero.

The arrogant and unruly man finally matured?
With such doubts, the reporter has a little expectation for Arenas' trip to Dallas. If he can follow the Mavericks to win the championship, he will be considered a prodigal son...

Knowing that he can play with Xiao Ding, Ah Lian is in a good mood.

His performance in the Nets is not stable enough and does not meet the Nets' team building requirements.

But it is different in the Mavericks. He can learn a lot of experience and skills from Nowitzki, and the UAE plays with this mentality without any pressure.

Moreover, his ability to be teammates with Xiaoding in the NBA also created the history of Chinese players.

Ah Lian talked with Dayao on the phone.

"Play well with Xiao Ding, I think you guys look like champions!"

"Thank you, how is your health?"

Hearing Ah Lian's words, Dayao sighed, "I've been training, but it's hard to maintain my form if I don't compete. I don't know if I can continue to play..."

"Come on, Xiaoding joined the league. I heard that Sun Yue also joined the Mavericks' development league team, the Texas Legends. If you can come to Dallas, including Jeremy Lin, maybe we can have an all-Chinese lineup in the Mavericks!"

Pfft, Dayao was amused by Ah Lian.

But it is not completely impossible, because he has no hope of coming back, he can choose to retire this year, give up part of the contract and break up peacefully with Houston, and then come back to join the Dallas Mavericks a year later.

In theory, it can be done, but Dayao is not sure whether he can recover his strength after his comeback, after all, his body has reached its limit.

Dayao said after laughing, "Maybe..."

Ah Lian hummed, "Take care brother, come to Dallas to play with us when you have time."

"it is good!"

In fact, there is no need for Ah Lian to say that Dayao's favorite successor has entered the NBA, so how can he still be in the mood to stay in Houston?

Cuban hugged Xiao Ding excitedly, "Ding, you are the most talented young golfer I have ever seen. I am so lucky to have you!"

As the boss who loves basketball the most in the league, Cuban was definitely not simply flattering when he said this.

Not to mention that in order to get Xiaoding, he paid a huge financial price.

"Thank you, it's an honor to play for the Mavericks."

Hearing Xiaoding's words, Cuban thought about it, and the news also said that he would not go because of the Lakers.

Sure enough, what the reporter said was really not worth remembering.

"Are you going to keep wearing number 8?"

"I need to make a call to my senior."

Cuban was taken aback, "I still need to ask my seniors to choose a number? Who is it?"

"In 2000, the Mavericks sent him a tryout invitation."

As soon as Xiao Ding finished speaking, Cuban suddenly realized that although he did not become the owner of the Mavericks, Mavericks fans said, "You mean nonsense?"

"Well, if he agrees, then I'll wear size 8."

Xiaoding has always respected his predecessor Hu Weidong. If he hadn't been affected by a leg injury in 00, he would have already played in the NBA.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to make the final decision."

Cuban felt that Xiao Ding was right to do so. Respecting his predecessors and rules is the potential of a good player.

"Ding, where do you want to sign the contract?"

Cuban has no hard and fast rules but listens to Xiaoding.

This is also the greatest respect he can give a player.

"My house in Dallas, of course..."

"Great, I have a lot of friends in the real estate circle in Dallas, just give me a call on any house you like, and I'll help you out!"

Although it is impossible for Cuban to tell Xiao Ding the details of his transaction with Ernie, Cuban wants Xiao Ding to feel the warmth of family in him.

"Thank you."

The two greet each other with a handshake.

If Ding has to choose, Cuban may be the boss who has the most temper with him.

Moreover, Nowitzki will start the killing mode next season, and it will be difficult not to win the championship with a powerful team composed of "boxing champion" Butler, him, Kidd, Arenas, and Marion.

Of course, Xiao Ding knows that this little butterfly of his own has changed the timeline of this world.

The defending champion Lakers, the Big Three of the Celtics, the veteran GDP, and the upcoming Big Three of the Heat have one thing to say, and it is impossible to say what will happen in the end of this season.

However, Xiaoding's goal is the championship!
As the number one scholar, there are as many people who want to interview Ding Yan Yuhang as there are crucian carp in the river.

In addition to Mike Brin, a big ESPN commentator, all major basketball programs have sent invitations to Xiaoding.

Among them is "NBA Insider", which has been supporting Xiao Ding since high school!
On the night of the draft, Barkley called Xiaoding.

"Hey Ding, come to be a guest on my show this weekend?"

"Let me check the schedule..."

"Go away! Do you dare to come!"

Xiao Ding smiled, "Just kidding, I will definitely go."

Xiao Ding has been acquainted with Barkley for a long time, so the two of them didn't need to talk politely and went straight to the point.

Barkley said again, "Ding, is your ankle okay?"

Xiao Ding said with certainty, "No problem at all!"

"That's good, come with your family, I'll treat you."

"Hehe, is this the stingy Barkley I know?"

Barkley laughed loudly, "I treat you, and TNT will pay for it."

"Could you be a little bit louder?"

"When you're on the show, you'll know I'm out of breath!"

"Any surprises?"

"Of course!"

Because Xiao Ding appeared on the show for the first time after becoming the champion, it was very meaningful, so Barkley prepared a special gift for him...
