point guard light

Chapter 28
Next, Jiang Yan went to the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Pistons, Suns and other teams.

However, the attitude of these teams is not very clear, they all gave ambiguous words.

And this last stop is the Bobcats with the second pick.

The Bobcats are located in Charlotte, North Carolina, not far from Windsor.

The Devil's Deacon team's 32-to-16 national championship was held at the Bobcats' Time Warner Arena.

When Jiang Yan and Duffy came to Time Warner Arena, they didn't get the same treatment as other teams.

The Bobcats just randomly sent an assistant coach to meet with Jiang and Yan.

Seeing this, Duffy didn't know that the other party didn't want to choose Jiang Yan, and there should be other candidates.

Duffy chatted with the assistant coach for a while, and then left the Bobcats with Jiang Yan without a trial training.

On the way back to Wake Forest, the two were not in a mood of anger. After all, Bobcats had the right not to choose Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was not a dollar, and everyone liked it.

After arriving at the school, Duffy and Jiang Yan agreed to go to New York the day before the draft and then left.

He also has to settle the signing of another of his big-name players.

Being able to free up so many days for Jiang Yan is already considered acceptable.

As for Williams, he is still trying hard for the Nuggets!

And next, he will basically travel all over the United States.

Jiang Yan returned to school to continue his training, but he still put some time on his studies.

After all, his old man insisted that he bring back Wake Forest's diploma.

Although I can't graduate now, I still have to get the credits for this semester, and I can start directly from the sophomore year when I come back to replenish my blood after taking a break from school.

At the same time, during this period of time, the news about Jiang Yan was overwhelming in China. After all, this is the only Chinese who participated in the draft this year.

On the Internet, fans speculated whether Jiang Yan could be directly selected as the No. [-] pick like Yao Ming.

At the same time, the teams in the United States who participated in Jiang Yan's trial training all expressed that Jiang Yan has great potential and is worth choosing.

However, the news about Jiang Yan lived in the United States for a short period of time, because there was a war between the two parties in the media later.

These two media are the two camps that praise Thomas Robinson and slander Dion West, and slander Robinson and praise Dion.

This is the result of Jiang Yan's stumbling in the rookie training camp.

Here Jiang Yan is doing trial training leisurely, while the two sides over there are fighting fiercely!
Although Robinson's agent is not very famous, but the persimmons are not too soft, coupled with the booing of the American media, the quarrel between the two parties continued for more than half a day.

Even Anthony Davis' exposure rate is not as high as these two!

Not to mention Jiang Yan!

However, Jiang Yan's every move in the trial training has been attracting attention in China!
.........

Time passed by like this, and quietly came to June 2012, 6.

This day is also the time when the 2012 draft will be held.

As early as a day ago, Jiang Yan, Duffy and the Williams family came to New York.

Madison Square Garden was full of media reporters, including Zhang Jing.

"Jiang Yan, can you tell the fans in China how you feel now?" Zhang Jing asked Jiang Yan while standing in front of the Sina live camera.

"Well! Let's put it this way! As a Chinese, I am already very happy to be able to stand on this glorious stage, especially when I think of playing against the world's top basketball players in the future, I feel even more excited!" And talk authentically.

.........

The time soon came to seven o'clock. At this time, Jiang Yan and Duffy had already made it to the small green room officially designated by the NBA for those players who are eligible for the lottery draft.

Originally, Jiang Yan wanted his parents to come to the United States to accompany him to witness this moment.

However, when calling, Jiang Yan's father refused to let Jiang Yan's mother come to the United States.

As for the related girl, Jiang Meiqi is still in China, and she wants him to rush back to meet her grandma after participating in the audition!
As for the other girl, Alice, she has disappeared for more than two months and has not been contacted so far.

So Jiang Yan could only sit alone in the small green room with Duffy.

Suddenly, a person came out from behind the podium. He was wearing a pair of glasses and had gray hair.

This person is the president of Stern who has been in charge of the NBA for decades and has developed the NBA that was about to go bankrupt into the third-ranked sports league in the United States.

"Ahem, gentlemen and girls, good morning!" Stern looked very old, but his voice was still very strong.

"Shhhhh..." But he was greeted by boos from all over the place.

This is now a regular part of the annual draft.

Stern didn't care, he continued: "Last year, the NBA..." Barbara said a lot again.

Fangzheng Jiang Yan didn't listen carefully.

ten minutes later.

"...The 2012 NBA Draft has officially begun!"

"Clap clap clap..."

"The first pick in the 2012 draft, the Orleans Hornets chose..."

An assistant next to him took out a note from behind and handed it to Stern.

Stern looked at the note in his hand, and then slowly said: "Anthony Davis! As a power forward/center, let us congratulate him!"

Although Anthony Davis already knew that the Hornets would choose him, he was still very pleasantly surprised when the dust settled.

He hugged his mother first, then his brothers.

Finally, he walked out of the small green room, took a Hornets team cap and put it on.

Walking to the stage, Davis first shook hands with Stern, and then stood in front of the microphone to speak.

"Thanks to the Hornets for choosing me, I will definitely show my talent for the Hornets!" A well-regulated speech, without arrogance, and without ostentation.

After the announcement, Davis stepped off the stage and went to the reporter's interview room on the other side.

Here Stern continues the draft.

But you have to wait 5 minutes for the Bobcats with the second overall pick to make a decision.

"The second pick, the Charlotte Bobcats chose Jill Christ, who serves as a small forward, let us congratulate him!"

.........

"The third pick, the Washington Wizards chose Bradley Beal as a shooting guard, congratulations to him!"

…………

"With the fourth pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Thomas Robinson as a power forward."

Historically, Robinson was not actually selected by the Cavaliers with the fourth overall pick, but was selected by the Kings with the fifth overall pick.

As for the Cavaliers who originally chose Dion West, the Cavaliers felt that Dion had relatively high requirements for the ball when he was in the rookie training camp, which was incompatible with Irving, the No. [-] pick selected last year.

That's why I chose an offensive insider to partner with Irving.

When Robinson was called by Stern, he was very happy, and even shook his head triumphantly at Dion who was not far away.

You must know that the news from the Cavaliers has been to choose Dion instead of Robinson.

Robinson, wearing a cavalier hat, shook hands with Stern before speaking.

"........."

After Robinson left the field, Stern will announce the fifth overall pick next.

As for Jiang Yan, she also raised her heart at this time, because the king has the next fifth pick.

Five minutes later, Stern stood in front of the microphone and said slowly: "The fifth pick, the Sacramento Kings chose Jiang Yan, who is a point guard. Let us congratulate him!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar at the scene, because this was the first yellow-skinned Chinese defender to be selected such a high pick.

Although these Americans had been psychologically prepared, they were still shocked for some reason, and still felt uncomfortable.

So the applause at the scene was not as enthusiastic as the previous four.

However, Zhang Jing's palms were red and swollen, and a trace of tears quietly appeared in her eyes, but it was also mixed with pride.

Because Jiang Yan is Chinese!

As for the Chinese netizens who have been watching the live broadcast of the 2012 Draft, they burst into flames. They couldn't express their excitement at all. They could only frantically brush '66666' on the live barrage!
Jiang Yan in the green room was very calm, he hugged Duffy calmly.

But his trembling palms showed his excitement at this time.

Regardless of the excited people on the Internet, Jiang Yan walked out of the small green room, took the team cap with the Kings logo from the staff at the door, and walked to the podium with firm steps.

When he came to the stage, he still shook hands with Stern as usual, but when Stern shook hands, he whispered to Jiang Yan: "Very good! Young man, come on!"

Jiang Yan nodded, then stood in front of the microphone, looked at the people below, and smiled.

He said, "Hi everyone, I am very honored to be selected by the Kings. Of course, I will not let the Kings down, thank you!"

To the point, Jiang Yan didn't say too much nonsense, it's not with her mouth that she slaps these foreigners' arrogant faces, but with her future performance!

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she walked off the podium, but Stern, who was standing aside, could hear the displeasure in Jiang Yan's words.

He smiled slightly, and was even more satisfied with Jiang Yan. Compared with those black people who were full of muscles and fooled around, Jiang Yan was undoubtedly more satisfied with Jiang Yan, a well-mannered rich third generation.

After all, many people in the United States who can afford tickets are middle-class, and those middle-class people undoubtedly prefer polite players like Jiang Yan.

The premise is to exclude racial discrimination!
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, under the guidance of the staff, she came to the media conference not far away.

Jiang Yan was sitting there, and naturally Duffy was sitting next to her.

"Hello, Yan, many people think you will be a parallel importer, what do you think?" After the official worker pointed out a beautiful reporter, the reporter stood up and asked sharply.

Jiang Yan took a deep look at the blond-haired female reporter and hummed in her heart.

"I believe in the eyes of the king, they won't waste such a fifth pick to choose a 'parallel importer' like me!" Jiang Yan did not scold the street like a shrew, but laughed at herself humorously.

But the meaning in the words is, you didn't pick me the fuck, and people haven't called me a parallel importer yet, so why do you say that?
Obviously, the foreigner didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Yan's words, but there is nothing wrong with Jiang Yan's words, it is true!
"Okay, this one!" After Jiang Yan finished answering, she directly passed the official staff and pointed to Zhang Jing who raised her hand.

"Hello, Jiang Yan, how do you feel about the Kings?"

There is nothing wrong with this question, it is completely trying to relieve Jiang Yan's siege.

"I think the Kings are a great team and I'm honored and excited to be a part of the soon-to-be Kings team!"

…………

After asking a few more questions, Jiang Yan left the media area, but Jiang Yan felt more and more racial discrimination in the NBA.

After all, the few questions just asked, except for Zhang Jing, other crooked nuts asked very sharply.

Fortunately, Duffy reminded Jiang Yan in advance, so that Jiang Yan would not fall into the trap of these cunning reporters.

So when Jiang Yan answered the question, she thought for a long time before answering.

Williams was selected by the Nuggets with the eighth pick in the second round.

Later, Williams still hugged Jiang Yan and kept saying thank you!
