the rest, only noise

Chapter 1519 This is a great American story
LeBron James, wearing a snow-white suit and a red cap with the Cavaliers logo, took the stage to hug David Stern.

ABC's female reporter Michelle Tafoya asked a question on the spot: "LeBron, how do you feel after becoming the No. [-] pick in the draft effortlessly?"

James smiled: "Very good, I show that my hard work day and night has paid off."

Tafoya asked again: "There are many outstanding players in this year's draft, like Wish Lu, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Bosh. Do you think you can compete with them to win the Most Valuable Rookie of the Year? ?"

James has enough sensitivity to this type of issue that he won't talk too much.

"They're both great players, and I'm honored to be in the league with them in the same draft class. As for the Rookie of the Year, let him take his course. Even if I win it, it doesn't mean I'm in this league." The best player in the class, the important thing is to keep improving."

The shots on the big screen at the scene showed James' face.

After watching it for a while, Li Xuanbing asked, "How old is this kid?"

Louis said lightly: "As big as flawless."

"Impossible, he is at least 25 years old!"

"Did he lie about his age?"

"No wonder Wuxia can't compare to him."

Li Xuanbing read it brokenly, but Louis didn't explain.

Due to the appearance of Milicic, Lu Wuxia's entanglement with James' unshakable No. [-] pick is not so deep.

Because no matter how dissatisfied he is with James' No. [-] pick, this position is based on his four-year performance in high school and the three-year investigation and judgment of national scouts.

Milicic is another concept.

There is too much mystery about him, and the scouts don't have time to study him carefully. When he enters the draft with a seemingly unparalleled talent, the efforts made by Lu Wuxia and Anthony become worthless. I mentioned it.

That's right, both Flawless and Anthony are definite candidates, but the NBA management, who is poisoned by talent, prefers talents that are so empty that they don't know when they will be realized.

When Stern came to the front desk again.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns selected Darko Milicic with the second pick in the first round, from Serbia.!"

The moment Stern's voice fell, Lu Wuxia, Anthony, Bosh and many other young people who had struggled for this goal for many years looked at Milicic's position with hostile eyes.

Wearing a serious black suit, he then kisses the cheeks of several male friends around him.

"If he's willing to kiss David Stern, I think he's a real No. [-] pick," Louis said jokingly.

Sadly, Milicic decided not to kiss Stern.

That puts Louie right next to his funniest draft moment ever.

Now, the Boston Celtics, holding the third overall pick, have five minutes to make a decision.

After the Suns selected Milicic, the last bit of concern for Louis disappeared.

He picked up his cell phone and called his son sitting beside him.

Lu Wuxia picked up the phone and glanced at it, then turned to her father in astonishment, "Dad?"

"Answer the phone."

Lu Wuxia could only look at his father, and answered the phone call from the other party.

"Wish, are you ready to be a Celtic?"

Lu Yi and Lu Wuxia face to face and said on the phone.

When Stern came out again and announced that the Celtics chose Lu Wuxia with the third overall pick, there was the loudest cheer in the audience at Madison Square Garden.

New York is Louie's home field.

It was also Lu Wuxia's home field.

This is a performance of New Yorkers who love their houses and hate their houses.

Lu Wuxia stood up, first hugged her father, then got her mother's kiss, and finally was patted on the head by her grandma.

"Melo, I wish you good luck."

Lu Wuxia said to the restless Anthony.

"Yeah," Anthony agreed softly.

At this time, Louis finally realized how popular his son was.

After Lorraine's dressing up, he has the coolest outfit in the audience. The only thing that is inconsistent is the Celtic green peaked cap.

But coupled with his handsome face that makes the audience scream, combined with ABC's college game highlights, people can't help asking: "Is he really not better than Darko?"

"Congratulations, son."

Stern said to Lu Wuxia.

"It is my pleasure, sir."

After shaking hands, Stern patted Wuxia's shoulder lightly, "Say hello to your father for me."

In 2003, the third flower show went to sit in front of Michelle Tania.

"Wish, before Darko was eligible for the election, you were always recognized as the No. [-] pick. Even now, there are many people who think that you should be selected before Darko. What do you think of this statement?"

Lu Wuxia joked: "They were wrong, I think I should be drafted before LeBron."

This is a joke that the audience loves to hear, and everyone is flawlessly amused.

"There are a lot of father-son teams in the sports world, but in the NBA, this is the first time you and Coach Lu are like this. Do you think playing for your dad will bring extra pressure?"

Lu Wuxia said calmly: "My father is the best draft expert in history. If I don't meet expectations, his selection this year will be questioned. Therefore, I think my father is under more pressure."

"This kid kicked the ball into my hand and returned it."

"Isn't that what you should be a father? Do you think it's easy to be your son?"

"Mom, just pet him."

Next, Lu Wuxia will not return to her family.

After participating in the interview, he still has a lot to do.

The ABC interview is just the first of many interviews. Afterwards, there will be interviews from major media and various countries, and then there will be photos, poses, and group photos, and then a class under the leadership of the alliance safety committee. It will take a few days to understand The problems and risks these rookies will encounter in the NBA, and how to avoid these problems and risks.

Louis wanted to take Lorraine and his mother directly to the VIP box above to rest, but seeing Anthony trembling all over, he decided to stay and watch for a while.

Although Anthony's agent has put a lot of harsh words on the Clippers, this does not change the Clippers' mind.

The pattern of this year's draft is very clear.

Before Milicic entered the election, James, Lu Wuxia and Anthony were the Big Three, and they had a clear order.

After Milicic came in, he became the Big Four.

They're the definitive top four draft picks, and the others after that.

Just because Anthony didn't want to play for him?Such a thing does not exist.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Carmelo Anthony with the fourth pick in the first round, from Syracuse University!"

"FUCK!!!"

When the camera was on Anthony, he cursed angrily.

Anthony's mother Gloria hugged her son sadly, "Mello, don't be depressed, God will bless you."

"Mom, don't worry, I will never play for the Clippers."

Anthony was also red-eyed.

This scene, different people seem to have different interpretations.

For example, when the ABC narrator saw this, he said excitedly: "Carmelo Anthony has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. They rely on low-income jobs, family relief and food stamps. Now, Carmelo Anthony will be the The best young players in the world come to the NBA and their lives just keep getting better, it's a great American story!"

Hearing this, Louis didn't hold back, and laughed directly.

He decided to take his family out of the small green house. Before leaving, he gave Anthony a trick, "Melo, as long as you have the determination to not play for the NBA or play for the Clippers, you can change this result."

Anthony took a deep breath, "Sir, what should I do?"

"Have you ever heard the story of Billy Owens?"

Anthony shook his head.

"Tell this name to your agent, he knows what to do." Louis patted Anthony on the shoulder. "The most important thing is not what your agent does, but whether you have the determination."

After all, Louis took his family out of the small green house.
