65 2013 NBA Draft
"Amazing Stoudemire, Nike, AJ and Adidas have all made offers for their sneaker contracts? What do you think?"
With the announcement of the results of the NBA lottery and combined with information from all parties, the Cavaliers have a high probability of selecting Zhou Si.
The topic of "Where is Zhou Si going?" can be said to have ended, so a new question is coming: What brand of sneakers will Zhou Si choose to compete in the NBA?
This has been one of the most interesting topics among online fans recently.
Zhou Si pulled Ye Qin over and sat on his lap and thought about it.
Since you want to be the first person in history, is it okay if you don’t bring up a sneaker brand?
Zhou Si smiled and said to the blushing Ye Qin in his arms,
"Don't be in a hurry about sneakers, let's talk about it slowly, forget about AJ, and Nike will consider it later.
The prices are good compared to others, but of course the quality of the sneakers must pass the test.
Also, the term can be shorter, but I am very confident about the future."
Prioritizing price comparison is not because Zhou Si is greedy for money, but because price can most intuitively reflect the importance that the sneaker company attaches to itself!
Ye Qin wrote down Zhou Si's request in his notebook and asked,
“Are there any preferential treatment for domestic brands?”
Zhou Si replied without thinking:
"Yes, of course. If the conditions are similar, we will give priority to domestic brands."
…
The matter of Zhou Si's sneaker contract is put aside for the time being. The Cavaliers management and fans who won the No. 1 pick were crazy about it.
Only one day after winning the No. 1 pick, the Cavaliers have already sold 4,000 season tickets for next season!
You know, last season, the Cavaliers ranked 27th in the league in attendance.
After winning the No. 1 pick yesterday, the Cavaliers' ticket sales for the new season have become very hot.
The number of operators at the ticket hotline has increased to 60, and they work overtime until 12pm!
The Zhou Si effect is evident!
…
Soon, Zhou Si met with representatives of the Cavaliers under the arrangement of Ye Qin.
Well, that's right, other rookies call it a trial, but Zhou Si calls it a meeting.
It's obvious that the Cavaliers' front office takes this meeting very seriously.
Because their boss, manager, and coach were all absent, and they were very enthusiastic about Zhou Si!
Both parties had a great time chatting!
…
As the draft draws closer, the NBA playoffs have also reached their most intense stage.
The regular season record and game process have changed a lot from the previous life. The 2013 season championship winner has also become the Los Angeles Lakers with F4!
At Zhou Si's suggestion, Kobe and Howard had a good chat!
After eliminating the feud, the Lakers made great progress in the playoffs!
Howard, who accepted the setting of the future master and began to give up singles and focus on defense and pick-and-roll, played extremely efficiently!
The Lakers, who won the Thunder 4:1 in the Western Conference Finals, and the Heat, who have the Big Three, have a final showdown!
6VS24!
The Big Three VSF4!
The showdown that the alliance has been speculating on for many years is finally happening!
In this duel, the two sides battled to the seventh game!
No one wants to lose!
In Game 7, Kobe Bryant turned on "Mamba Mode" and was unstoppable!
When these giant hands get hot, the only ones who can stop them are themselves!
With 52 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Kobe made the buzzer-beating shot and led the Lakers to win the finals tiebreaker 124:123!
Lakers championship!!!
…
On June 27, 2013, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the United States, the much-anticipated NBA draft is about to begin!
As the first NBA draft open to the public in history, not only the teams, but also the fans who have become more involved are full of enthusiasm for this draft.
Although they can't go to watch it live, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans is as high as ever!
Unsurprisingly, Zhou Si is the second Chinese champion after Dayao in Chinese history!
After the draft begins, CCTV and Tencent will jointly broadcast the draft on TV and online in real time.
At the press conference before the draft, Ye Ze answered the questions from the Chinese media!
Although he knew that those reporters came to interview him because they couldn't interview Zhou Si, Ye Ze didn't care very much. He believed that when he defeated Zhou Si, he would also be a favorite in the eyes of the media!
Looking at Zhou Si, who was surrounded by many reporters, and then looking at the naive Greek rookie who was silently watching Ye Ze being interviewed, Ye Ze thought of a song.
That year, when I was eighteen, there was a dance at my alma mater, and I stood there like a gang.
At that time, I swore with tears that everyone must see me.
…
"Next, the No. 1 pick in the 2013 NBA draft comes from the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they have five minutes to make a decision."
After a lengthy opening remarks, the gray-haired NBA commissioner David Stern finally got to the point amidst huge boos from the audience!
Previously, Stern announced his retirement in January next year, so this will be his last time hosting the NBA draft!
The live broadcast camera focused on Zhou Si in the little green room!
Everyone knows that as long as the Cavaliers management's brains are in order, this year's No. 1 pick will definitely be Zhou Si!
But what puzzles many people is that Zhou Si, accompanied by his parents and Ye Qin, doesn't seem that happy, and even a little... nervous?
(?д?;)
Ye Qin, who was holding Zhou Si's hand next to her, was a little funny. If Zhou Si hadn't asked her last night if he could not enter the small green room and explained to her, she would never have imagined that Zhou Si was so afraid of the color green.
Rookies such as Noel, Oladipo, Porter, Zeller, McLemore and other rookies in the small green room all looked at Zhou Si with congratulatory eyes, and at the same time they were thinking about how to congratulate Zhou Si later.
Five minutes, usually a short period of time, seems extremely long in the eyes of the TV and the audience at the moment!
Among them, the Chinese audience is the most nervous!
Let me wipe it! Can you please hurry up! You are not a koala. How do you open an envelope? Why are you reading so slowly?
Stern opened the envelope slowly, raised his eyebrows after taking a look at it, and then said slowly:
“With the first pick in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected...
2.03 meter small forward, Zhou Si from Chicago Red University!"
In the small green room, Zhou Si seemed to relax a little, and then felt the hand holding his tighten.
Zhou Si smiled and patted Ye Qin's hand, then stood up and took the baseball cap with the Cavaliers logo from her and put it on his head.
Then, Zhou Si, his parents, Ye Qin, Ye Ze, and other envious players who gathered around to congratulate him hugged each other one by one!
"Stoudemire, you are the No. 1 pick! You can play in the NBA!"
"Hey, Zhou, congratulations on being the top pick!"
"Zhou is well-deserved!"
In front of the TV and on the Internet, many Chinese fans watching the live broadcast shouted excitedly!
China’s second NBA No. 1 pick!!!
Then the QQ group, Weibo, Tieba and forums were filled with blessings for Zhou Si!
"I wish Brother Zhou will be at the top when he debuts and stay at the top for twenty years!"
In the expectant eyes of the fans, Zhou Si walked onto the main stage with a cheerful face.
When shaking hands with President Stern, Zhou Si noticed that Stern looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
Stern is in a very good mood at this time. It feels wonderful to be able to win another Chinese No. 1 pick before he retires.
NBA's future globalization path will definitely become smoother and smoother!
After taking a photo with Stern amidst the applause of the fans in the audience, Zhou Si gave a brief acceptance speech, thanking his family, the Red University and the fans, and then quickly left the stage.
What he most wants to share his joy with is his family.
After arriving at the small round table, the staff indicated that Zhou Si could now go to the nearby news room for an interview.
But as Ye Qin whispered a few words beside Zhou Si, Zhou Si's face changed!
Chapter completed!
