Chapter 65 New Module Open
Li Liang took the hat handed over by Ryan West and felt sure.
When he saw West, he guessed that the Lakers must have made a deal.
They exchanged the Mavericks for a draft pick and took him at the 55th pick.
Li Liang put on the Mavericks' blue baseball cap and walked onto the stage in a few steps in a silver-gray Zhongshan outfit.
Not to mention, the Mavericks' blue and white hat and silver-gray clothes are quite matched, which is better than the yellow Lakers.
Li Liang walked towards Silva, who looked like an alien, and shook hands with him.
"Congratulations, Bruce Lee, I hope you have a good performance in the NBA." Silva congratulated Li Liang officially.
"Thank you, thank you." Li Liang said, holding Silva's hand.
His mind was a little empty and he didn't know what to say.
Although I imagined myself being selected by NBA teams countless times in my mind, when the dream came to reality, it still makes people feel a little dreamy and unbelievable.
As he shook hands, a group of reporters from the audience patted and slapped the stage.
Before the draft, no one knew that a Chinese player would be selected.
The TV director was a little confused because after the player was selected, he would play the player's game highlights as usual.
But Li Liang didn't have NCAA game highlights at all.
The only picture is the scene where two free throws were taken at the last moment in this year's NCAA Finals.
The TV station is undoubtedly a little embarrassed. You can't let Li Liang get the free throw, right?
The director had to cut the camera to the scene and asked the host to read Li Liang's scout report.
But... the TV station is not prepared...
The TV station has prepared scout reports for most other players, but only Li Liang has not.
Because no one thought he would be selected.
Even though he participated in the trial training of teams such as the Nets, Timberwolves, some professional scouts gave him a relatively pertinent evaluation.
But he still has no reputation in the formal media, which has to be said to be a major mistake in their work.
But this cannot be blamed for them, because most of the rookies who have the potential to be selected have personal files as early as high school.
If a player does not become a local dominant in high school and cannot enter the national vision, then there is no hope for him to enter the NBA.
And Li Liang was obviously an accident.
Regular TV media do not have Li Liang’s information, but online self-media is different.
At the moment when Li Liang was selected, a lot of news suddenly emerged from Twitter, Ins, Facebook, as well as Weibo and basketball forums in China.
At home and abroad forums, some senior fans and self-media have long been paying attention to Li Liang's draft.
The source of their information is of course Wei Dazhi.
Wei Dazhi reported a series of related news about Li Liang starting from the trial training on his social account.
From the beginning of no one's interest, to the Lakers' trial and challenge Kobe, it caused a small forwarding.
Then, the Nets' trial scout report will be reported later, and more senior people will pay attention.
Until now, Li Liang was elected at the draft, it can be said that Wei Dazhi used his social account to witness the whole process.
Today he arrived at the talent show early, squatting on the sidelines, and was always using his mobile phone to broadcast and interact online.
I used up a power bank and used up all the power on my laptop. Finally, I waited until Li Liangzhong chose a moment.
Wei Dazhi excitedly took out his cell phone and took a lot of photos on the stage, and then posted the news of Li Liang's choice on his account.
His news was immediately reposted a lot, and domestic forums also reposted it.
"Another Chinese can play in the NBA!"
"Who is he? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"I have been paying attention for a long time, but I didn't expect that I could really be selected and spread flowers."
"It's a calf again? It seems that a calf is a blessed land for the Chinese."
"I didn't go to the Mavericks. Didn't I say I tried out with the Lakers before? I also went to the Nets, and there might be a deal, so wait."
Many Chinese fans who have been following this draft on the forum did not expect that there would be such a surprise at the last moment.
After all, even the major American television media do not know about Li Liang's situation, let alone the Chinese sports media that can only forward second-hand and third-hand news through the Pacific Ocean.
Wei Dazhi's Twitter, Ins's fan value soared at this moment.
The search volume of "Bruce-Lee" for search engines such as Google and Baidu has also surged.
Of course, all they found were Bruce Lee.
Wei Dazhi laughed from the audience so hard that he couldn't stop smiling. He knew that he had dreamed of becoming a basketball reporter and took a big step forward!
Of course, he was even more sincerely happy for Li Liang.
He can't wait to interview Li Liang!
Compared with the well-informed self-media, the TV station is in a very awkward situation.
When Li Liang walked on stage to shake hands with Silva, the backstage director finally let his assistant get news about Li Liang on the Internet.
The director read while reading, and the front desk host said.
This is difficult for the live broadcast host of TNS TV. While talking nonsense about Kentucky's magical performance this year, he said that this year is the year of Kentucky's draft, while listening to the director's words, he organized language in his heart.
I finally saw Li Liang step down and summarized Li Liang's characteristics in a few words. It was simple, "I have good defense and can make three points," I finally managed to get through this paragraph.
Jeff Van Gundy, a guest who participated in the broadcast, teased: "I just heard his name and I thought this was the Oscar scene."
Everyone burst into laughter, they really knew nothing about Li Liang.
At this time, Li Liang left the central stage and went to the audience for interviews with reporters.
The black reporter also seemed a little surprised. He reached out to Li Liang and asked, "Bruce-Li? Can you introduce you to everyone? It seems that many people don't know you very well."
Needless to mention the rookies in the lottery zone, the reporters have long been familiar with them.
It is clear whether the family is a single-parent family, whether there are brothers and sisters, whether they raise cats or dogs.
And Li Liang seemed to be as mysterious as his nationality, China.
Although China has become increasingly influential in the world, its economic scale is catching up with the United States.
But in the eyes of most ordinary Americans, China is still an extremely distant and mysterious country.
For American basketball fans, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian opened a small window for them to understand China.
But the small window is a small window after all, and you can only see a small view.
"I'm from China and played for the University of Kentucky. I'm very happy to be in the NBA. This is my dream."
Li Liang's answer was just right, "I'm very happy XX", "This is my dream all along."
This is a standard sentence structure.
The reporter nodded and then asked: "What do you think after entering the NBA? Can you briefly talk about it?"
Faced with this problem, Li Liang was stunned for two seconds, suddenly changed his mind and said, "Of course, it is to win the game and lead the team to the championship."
The reporter looked at Li Liang with a strange look. This kid was quite angry.
Even the No. 1 pick Anthony Davis dared to say in an interview that I will try my best to do my best, I will strive to become the leader of the team, etc.
Win the championship? A rookie with 55 in the second round?
Of course, if he is lucky, he will not be able to win the championship while lying down with his thighs.
But what you are talking about is leading the team to win the championship. Who gives you the courage? Ricky Davis?
"Did you think about other issues? The impact on your parents, family, and people around you."
Li Liang shook his head and said, "No, my parents don't want me to run for the election. I'm not for money. If I'm not going to the NBA for money, I won't go to the NBA. There's not much money in the NBA, so I can go home and work and inherit my family property. Of course, I have to thank my head coach Kalipari, who gave me a lot of help, thank you. Today you are the biggest winner!"
In front of the TV, Li Liang did not forget to thank his mentor in Kentucky.
However, his series of remarks are undoubtedly a bit ungrateful.
The black reporter's face was quiet, but he thought to himself, this kid is really interesting.
But at this time, Li Liang's excitement had slowly calmed down. Now he was thinking about one thing, which was to go to bed and go into the system to take a look!
Because just when the reporter asked the second question, a line of subtitles appeared in front of his eyes:
Chapter completed!
