I'm a ball devil

Chapter 86
It was really hard for Ye Wenbo and Liu Bei to squeeze out the vacation from the hospital and fly to America with Ye Hao.

The 2007 NBA Draft will be held on June 6 at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, USA.

Ye Hao flew to Los Angeles first with his parents, because he needs to be familiar with it a little bit.

Although he doesn't seem to be too familiar with it, after all, as a ball monster, during the time of Kobe's training camp, he only played sports between the hotel and the training camp, and rarely went out.

But he still somehow felt that this city was familiar.

His plan is to take his parents to play in Los Angeles for two days, and then fly to New York. After the draft, he knows the team and city he is going to, and then spends a few days in that city to get familiar with the environment.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, he texted Kobe, asking if he was free for dinner.

Unexpectedly, Kobe replied to him soon, saying that he was just free and was with Kupchak, and invited him to go there with his parents. We had a meal and chat, and Kobe treated him.

Ye Hao told his parents that Kobe would treat their family to dinner.

Ye Wenbo was quite surprised. Although he was not considered a super NBA fan, he still knew a little about NBA stars. Of course he knew that Kobe was a superstar in the NBA.

Such a super giant actually wants to invite their family to dinner!

It seems that the relationship between Kobe and his son is really good.

After eating this meal, the conversation was quite happy.

Kupchak also revealed a piece of information to them. They are currently working hard to trade draft picks upwards, in order to ensure that Ye Hao can be picked in the draft as they wish.

Because the Lakers received news that the Clippers were going to grab Ye Hao from them.

The Clippers' first-round pick is the 14th pick, but it is higher than the Lakers' 19th pick.

If the Clippers want to intercept Ye Hao, their 19th pick will definitely be useless.

So Kupchak is in contact with several teams with higher draft picks, hoping to trade their first-round picks.

This shows how much the Lakers attach importance to Ye Hao.

It was this meal that reassured Ye Wenbo and Liu Bei, who were still worried about Ye Hao's NBA prospects.

After that, I can really relax and play, so I laughed and laughed all the way, and I had a lot of fun.

Of course, Ye Hao won't be able to train these days,
At least not during the day. Only when he returns to the hotel at night can he steal some time to practice in the hotel's gym.

In a flash, we arrived in New York, and on June 6, the NBA draft was about to begin.

Prior to this, the NBA has announced a group of rookie players invited to the small green room, Chinese player Yi Jianlian is among them, and Asilau.

Ye Hao's name was not included in the first batch of lists.

However, his name was not included in the list that was added later, but Nick Young was on the list.

This means he can no longer wait to be picked in the Little Green Room area.

Before the draft begins, all NBA general managers will vote on the players they think are most likely to become lottery picks.

In the end, high-level NBA officials decided on the final list based on the selection intentions of the teams holding high-ranking picks before the draft held by the league, and issued invitations to these players to enter the small green room.

Since there are 14 rookies in the lottery area, the small green house will also invite at least 14 players.

This year is considered to be the year of the draft. In addition to Oden, Durant, Horford, Noah, Yi Jianlian and other popular rookies who were invited to the small green room, a total of 18 other players were invited.

A reporter interviewed NBA Vice President Stu Jackson about the fact that Ye Hao was not invited into the small green room. Jackson said that according to the information obtained by the NBA, Ye Hao may be selected among the dozen or so. More than a dozen were selected, so they finally decided not to invite Ye Hao into the little green house.

Ye Hao doesn't care if he enters the small green house or not, as long as he can enter the NBA and play basketball.

Also, being in the Green Room doesn't mean you're guaranteed to be picked in the lottery.

In the drafts of previous years, there were quite a few who entered the small green room full of hope and joy, hoping to be selected by the team at the top of the draft, but finally waited round after round without waiting for their names to be called.

In the 98 NBA draft, Rashad Lewis was invited into the small green house, and he was also full of hope to play for the hometown team Mosaic.

At that time, the Mosaic team had three first-round picks, the 14th, 16th and 18th picks, but none of them chose Lewis. Lewis was so disappointed that he even shed tears.

He has been sitting dryly in the small green room, until the other people in the small green room have been selected, and he is left alone.

After all the 30th picks in the first round were selected, there was no one named him, and the Sonics selected him with the 32nd pick in the second round.

While weeping silently, he unknowingly created a historical record, the rookie player who stayed in the small green room for the longest time.

It was not until the appearance of Qiao Shouxin ten years later, that is, in the future in 2008, that his record was broken.

When Ye Hao arrived at the draft conference, Nick Young had already arrived.

Nick Young looked very excited today, wearing a baggy suit.

As soon as he saw Ye Hao coming, he came over to say hello to Ye Hao, "Ye, you're finally here."

Ye Hao smiled and said, "Congratulations on entering the Little Green Room."

Nick Yang shook his head and said with a smile: "Luck, it's all luck. They didn't invite you into the little green house, which is very wrong! You are better than me and Asilao!"

"Haha, I don't care about that. It doesn't matter if you can enter the small green house or not, as long as you can enter the NBA." Ye Hao said with a light smile.

At this moment, Asilao and Aaron Brooks happened to pass by. Hearing the conversation between Ye Hao and Nick Young, Asilao interjected, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a team that will choose you, but it will probably be at the end of the second round." ,Hahaha……"

Ye Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, you won't stay in the NBA for long, because you can't stay longer. And, you can also rest assured, because I will beat you every time I see you, because you haven't been abused by me yet." enough!"

Asilau's face was livid with anger, "You!"

"Hahaha, that's right, some people just don't deserve to be beaten. They are obviously not strong enough, but they still like to be beaten!" Nick Yang said with a smile beside him.

"Hey, let's go, ignore him, he hasn't even entered the small green house, and he won't know who will beat who when he enters the NBA." Aaron Brooks pushed Asilao forward.

"That's right, you're right! I'm waiting in the small green room to be selected in the first round, and then I'll abuse you in the NBA." Asilao said after snorting.

Ye Hao said leisurely: "Didn't the one next to you enter the little green room? Maybe, he is the real end of the second round."

Ye Hao's words made Aaron Brooks angry, and he said: "I'd like to see which of the two of us is selected at the end of the second round. Hmph!"
