"You're dreaming! One tenth, one percent is too much!"

Many rookies were whispering to each other.

Lin Hao smiled and waved to the enthusiastic people while walking steadily towards the front row of guest seats.

At this moment, NBA Commissioner David Stern took the stage to boos.

He made his speech, paused for a moment, and then said:

"The Toronto Raptors drew the first pick in the 2006 NBA Draft and selected...Andrea Bargnani from Rome, Europe."

For a moment, there was thunderous applause, and the lights and cameras were all aimed at Bargnani.

The young European man gave warm hugs to his family and friends, then walked onto the stage.

"This guy is pretty good! If our team had the number one pick, I would definitely sign him!"

"His draft template is Dirk Nowitzki, with a soft touch and strong shooting ability, which is a perfect fit for our team."

"If he played power forward...tsk tsk tsk!"

Isiah Thomas looked at Bargnani with envy.

"Isiah, with my brother, do you think we'll get the No. 1 pick?"

James Dolan said with feigned dissatisfaction.

"That is that is!"

Isiah Thomas smiled flatteringly.

"Hey, brother, you seem to have a low opinion of this Bargnani?"

Dolan suddenly came in front of Lin Hao.

"Okay!"

Lin Hao curled his lips.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that it was not just Bargnani, there were few players in this draft that I looked up to.

Adam Morrison, Sheldon Williams, Randy Foye, Tyrus Thomas…

What the hell are these top 10 picks?

"The New York Knicks drew the 29th pick in the first round of the 06 NBA draft."

"The one they chose was ... Paul Millsap from Louisiana Tech."

At this time, Stern's words rang out again.

"Walter?"

Upon hearing this, Millsap, who was sitting in the corner, looked up in shock.

Didn’t the Utah Jazz say I would be selected in the second round?

How did I get into the first round? And the defending champion Knicks selected me?

It turns out that Isiah Thomas directly traded a first-round pick to be on the safe side.

Although there is a high probability that Millsap can be selected with a second-round pick.

But what if something unexpected happens?

If he makes the King of New York unhappy, how can he still hold on to his position as general manager?

At this time, the other players cast envious and jealous glances at Millsap.

“I heard that choosing him meant Yellow Jesus.”

"It seems that Huang Jesus has a terrible eye for talent. Even someone like him could be selected in the first round."

"Well, no matter what, I'm just lucky. If I join the Knicks, I can win the championship without any effort."

"Exactly! Even Trevor Ariza said that even with a dog tied to the small forward position, they can win a championship."

"You're kidding! That's what Larry Brown said."

"Fuck, it's obvious! Do you dare to bet with me?"

"Let's bet! Who's afraid of who?"

"Both of you stop arguing. I can prove that both Trevor and Larry said this."

"Damn, so Yellow Jesus can win the championship with a bunch of dogs?"

They talked quietly.

When Millsap walked to the front desk, he was so happy that he was about to explode.

But he still had too many doubts in his mind.

You know, before the draft, NBA scouts were almost unanimously pessimistic about Millsap.

In his previous life, he was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 47th pick in the second round.

As we all know, the NBA draft has the first round and the second round, with 30 picks in each round.

In other words, Millsap was ranked 13th from the bottom in the draft.

Why was he drafted so low?

First of all, the WAC league he belonged to was terrible.

Although he averaged 18.6 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, the value of his statistics is questionable.

Secondly, he is only 6 feet 7 inches (about 2.01 meters) tall, too short to be a power forward and too slow to be a small forward.

Thirdly, he is already 21 years old this year (the same age as Lin Hao).

Compared to 18 or 19-year-old rookies, their potential is very limited.

Therefore, the general managers of other teams all looked at Lin Hao with contempt.

As a player, you should just focus on playing your game. Why do you have to interfere in the draft?

Lin Hao smiled coldly in his heart.

What the hell do you understand? I'm just digging for gold in shit, okay?

Millsap is not that strong, but he is a four-time All-Star reserve and was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team once.

More than a hundred times better than Adam Morrison and his ilk!

I do want Aldridge, but he was the second pick!

I also want Rajon Rondo, but we already have Hinrich!

After witnessing the excitement of the talent show, Lin Hao prepared to leave.

But at this time, Millsap, who knew the truth, caught up.

"Paul has been adrift for half his life, only regretting that he never met a wise leader! Boss Lin, thank you for your discerning eye. You are my second parent!"

Millsap held his hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Work hard! I'll find you a sister-in-law in the future!"

Lin Hao pulled his hand out, patted his shoulder, then turned and left.

"Okay, okay! I'll do my best!"

After saying that, the big fool squatted on the ground and cried like a baby.

I must be dreaming!

I have money, I have a championship, and now I am almost going to have a wife!

……

China across the ocean.

At 7 o'clock that evening, there were few pedestrians on the streets.

The commercial street, which is usually bustling, now seems particularly deserted.

Because everyone is waiting excitedly by the TV.

On this day, the documentary "Chasing NBA Dreams: Lin Hao's Thorny Journey" will be broadcast during prime time on China Television.
