Coach Lee

Chapter 561 Yao
While Yao Liang was chatting with Gasol, a few more people came towards this side.

Headed by the beaming Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown patted Pau Gasol on the shoulder as soon as he came over, "Hey, Paul, how are you."

Gasol also smiled and said hello.

"Oh, and you, Yao, you are fine too." Brown hooked Yao Liang's shoulders as if he had just noticed Yao Liang.

Kwame Brown is leading the topic and atmosphere here, helping to introduce the whole person from time to time, and helping to introduce that person from time to time, just like the image of a big brother.

After several people greeted each other, Kwame Brown suddenly suggested:
"Everyone, don't leave after the draft is over. Let's get together at that time. After all, we are all geniuses in the class of 01. We will be friends from now on. We need to take care of each other when the time comes."

Kwame Brown was leading the whole process, and Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler behind him didn't know why, but they had some smiles on their faces and some unwillingness.

While several people were chatting, backstage, at the door of each team's box, several reporters were ready.Soon, their interview was also transmitted through the big screen at the scene.

The first reports came from the Warriors,

"Everyone, I'm Michael Webb, the front reporter, and I'm at the door of the Golden State Warriors box. The Warriors have the sixth overall pick this year. Just now, I interviewed the Warriors manager. -Curry is very interested. However, there are still 6 competitors ahead. Whether the Warriors can pick Eddie depends on luck."

The second news is from the Clippers,

"Hello, everyone, I'm George Green. I learned from the Clippers management that with the second pick, their choice tonight will be Tyson or Kwame. Whether the Wizards choose Kwame or Tyson , and the other one belongs to their Clippers."

Afterwards, news came from the Eagles and Bulls, both of whom were interested in the four major centers.

The news from the front of the Spurs is somewhat pessimistic.

"It is reported that the goal of the Spurs is to choose a big man. However, the four major centers are surrounded by the top four picks. The Spurs have to choose a small guard. Sean Battier and Jason Richardson And Richard Jefferson is a target for the Spurs."

Soon, the reporter also brought news from the Wizards.

"Hi everyone, I'm Wells Robinson, the front reporter. I just learned that the Wizards with the No. [-] pick are interested in Kwame Brown. They really hope to bring Kwame's talent to Washington."

The audience at the scene was not surprised to hear the news.In fact, the four major centers may be the No. [-] pick, but the most likely No. [-] pick is Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown has performed very well in the training camp these days and is very popular among the fans.

In the small green room, Yao Liang also understood why these people had different expressions.

"Hahaha, everyone, don't leave when the time comes, we have agreed."

Kwame Brown made an agreement with everyone, then shook his hand and left gracefully.

At this time, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and a beam of lights on the stage came on, and David Stern walked slowly into the stage.

"Welcome to New York, ladies and gentlemen. New York is a beautiful metropolis, a metropolis full of charm, and this is the place where everyone dreams of sailing. Tonight, here, you have the world's attention"

When everyone was impatient and almost booed, David Stern finally stopped talking,

"Okay, I now announce that the 2001 NBA Draft has officially begun."

wow wow~~~
There was applause at the scene.

"Okay, the Washington Wizards with the No. 5 pick will have five minutes to pick."

After a few minutes of waiting, the big screen at the scene also cut the scene to the backstage studio.

The host Kenny Johnson asked several guests;
"Everyone, let's make a prediction, who will the Washington Wizards choose? Charles."

Charles Barkley is now a commentator on TNT TV, and this draft is naturally where he shines.

"Well, it should be one of Tyson, Kwame, Paul, and Eddie. Well, it's really hard to choose. Otherwise, I'll just choose one. I'll choose Yao from China. gone."

"Hahahaha, Charles, your funny talent is quite good. It seems that you have fully integrated into your new retirement life." The host teased Buckley, but Buckley suddenly looked serious, serious look.

"No, no, no, it's not a joke, I'm serious. I came to this conclusion after a month of analysis, Kenny, you can't slander me."

a month?The finals hadn't even started a month ago.

"Hahaha," Kenny Johnson and the others laughed wantonly. After laughing, Kenny Johnson continued to ask the next guest: "Michael, what do you think?"

According to Michael Wilbur, editor-in-chief of The Washington Post:
"Maybe what Charles said is not necessarily right, but my choice is Kwame. Didn't the reporter in front of us just say that? Might be wrong."

After that, several other guests also expressed their views.

TNT TV basketball commentator Sam believes: "The No. [-] pick should be Tyson Chandler. He is very good on both ends of the offense and defense. Kwame's physical condition is good, but his skills are still not sophisticated enough. Compared with Kwame, Tyson will become the team's immediate combat power and will immediately change the team's offensive and defensive systems."

The former NCAA basketball coach Banks chose: "Paul Gasol. I want to choose Kwame, but someone has already chosen, so I won't argue. Paul Gasol is a talented Spanish player. His He can attack with both hands. This is also a very versatile big man. I hope the league can produce an international No. [-] pick, which will make our league more exciting and exciting."

Kent McDill of the "Herald" thinks: "Kwame Brown, although Kwame Brown's skills look a bit rough now, there are more professional coaches in the NBA to teach him. In a short period of time, he It may not be possible to improve too much, but, as far as his talent is concerned, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a superstar."

Several guests on the big screen were chatting, and in the small green room, Kwame Brown was smiling so much that his mouth was about to burst.

On the other side, Teacher Sun Zhengping and the others also comforted Yao Liang.

"Yao Liang, don't be nervous, we won't get the top few, it doesn't matter."

"En." Yao Liang was quite nervous, and only nodded frequently to the leader's words.

But Wang Dazhi next to him was hesitant to speak, he gritted his teeth and held back when he wanted to speak a few times.

Suddenly, Stern's figure appeared in the corner of the stage.

"Wow!"

There were cheers at the scene.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Stern to pronounce that name.

Stern stood in front of the podium with a smile on his face,
"In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected No. [-] in the first round,"

When he said this, he paused,
Kwame Brown adjusted his suit, Tyson Chandler's knuckles turned pale, Eddie Curry's eyes were bright, and Pau Gasol's eyes looked expectant.

Many people's throats are ready to shout for that name.

At this time, David Stern read it with his kind smile:
"Yao Liang, from Shanghai, China!"
