I'm really good at shooting.

Jordan's eyes seemed to change at this time.

Yao Ming continued to catch the ball, this time directly after the confrontation, he borrowed an outside hook with the advantage of the trend.

Brown couldn't jump or cover.

"Shh!"

3 is better than 0!

Yao Ming's soft touch makes people feel incredible.

At this moment, Jordan turned his head and said something to Pauline, and Pauline nodded.

The confrontation on the court ended quickly, and Brown didn't have much to do in the face of Yao Ming's offense.

Just like he blasted Chandler before, Yao Ming blasted him completely, and it was more thorough.

Chapter 195 The 2001 NBA Draft (After a long wait!)

The one-on-one confrontation is over, followed by three-on-three and five-on-five.

Yao Ming's performance is better than one-on-one.

However, Brown also performed well at this stage, showing his rebounding and defensive abilities.

After the trial training ended, Jordan chatted with Brown and Yao Ming respectively.

"Mr. Jordan, if you take me with the first pick, I will never let you down, and I will beat you."

Kwame Brown said that classic line to Jordan.

Jordan was slightly surprised, but he smiled immediately.

You see, what a pious, self-conscious, and ambitious child, he is still so young.

He couldn't help but pat Brown on the shoulder.

Yao Ming and Jordan are relatively poor in chatting, because his English is not good enough, and they need an interpreter to communicate.

But in the end, Mr. Qiao reached out and patted Yao Ming's shoulder.

Sun Hao was watching from not far away. To be honest, Yao Ming beat Brown, just like he beat everyone else in Chicago.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of him being elected as the No. [-] pick will become very high.

But Jordan's reaction is really a bit puzzling.

After all, Klaus of the Bulls has experience because of his experience, but Jordan can't figure it out.

"Dayao, what did Jordan talk to you about?"

When the trial training was over and he was walking out with Yao Ming, Sun Hao couldn't help being curious.

"I didn't say anything, I just asked about some things about playing in my country, oh yes, I also asked about my diet."

Sun Hao didn't have a clue after listening.

Jordan's mind, sometimes you really can't figure it out or guess it.

It seems that we really have to wait until the day of the draft to find out.

Sun Hao's training continued in an orderly manner. After mastering the training methods, he no longer needed to train with Jordan.

There is a ratio of 1 to 3 in the system, and it is much more beautiful to train.

But at this moment, there was a very interesting rumor.

There were rumors that Kwame Brown wanted to withdraw from the draft, but he finally gave up under the dissuasion of his agent.

The rumors before the draft are true or false, this news may be true, or it may just be suppressed by competitors.

Time keeps passing, and the draft is getting closer and closer.

The day before the draft, ESPN also announced the final draft predictions.

First pick, Wizards: Kwame Brown;

Second pick, Bulls: Tyson Chandler;

Third pick, Clippers: Yao Ming;

Fourth pick: Warriors: Eddie Curry;

Fifth pick, Grizzlies: Pau Gasol;

Sixth pick, Hawks: Jason Richardson;

Seventh pick, Nets: Shane Battier;

……

This ranking has not changed much from the previous one.

Yao Ming, still ranked third, is predicted to be picked up by the Clippers.

This calm looks more like the calm before the storm.

The time came to June 6 in a blink of an eye, and the 27 NBA Draft will be held at Madison Square Garden.

In the hotel, Yao Ming, who arrived one day earlier, was trying to dress himself up.

Unlike in history, Yao Ming will officially appear on the draft scene.

Moreover, Yao Ming's name was impressively listed in the small green house list announced by the NBA.

Including Yao Ming's parents, Li Qiuping, his mentor in the Shanghai team, and members of Yao's team also arrived in New York ahead of schedule.

No matter what pick Yao Ming is selected in the end, this will be a historic moment for Chinese players.

Yao Ming's mother is still arranging Yao Ming's suit.

Sun Hao stood at the door and watched. He suddenly remembered that he had experienced similar things during the draft last year.

Sure enough, parents all over the world are the same.

After tidying up, the group took a car to Madison Square Garden.

Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were already waiting there.

"Hey, Yao Ming, I have a red flag here, you'll be stuck in your suit later, when you get on stage..."

Zhang Weiping is really, this is an assembly line operation.

Yao Ming took the national flag, but did not follow what Zhang Weiping said, but stuck it directly on his chest.

The approach is very Yao Ming, and it looks very domineering.

The draft has not yet started, when Jordan came in, the crowd cheered.

The Wizards hold the No. [-] pick, and Jordan may come back. Related topics have been discussed in the forum.

Journalists will naturally not miss such an opportunity.

I took the opportunity of Jordan's appearance, and went up to ask.

Who will the Wizards choose this year, and whether they will come back.

Jordan avoided talking about the draft.

But when it came to the question of comeback, his answer made everyone around him excited.

"There's a 50 percent chance of my comeback."

This answer is like dropping a blockbuster before the draft.

You must know that Jordan's answer last time was 90% not to come back, that is, 10% possible comeback, but in a blink of an eye it has become 50% likely to come back!

The probability of increasing in this instant is unrealistic if you want people to guess!

It can even be said that Jordan is implying that he is coming back, and everyone should be prepared!

Everyone was discussing, which also attracted the attention of a group of people in the small green house.

Both Sun Hao and Yao Ming turned their heads unconsciously.

But because of the distance, I don't know what happened there.

Yao Ming turned his head and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Relax, keep two and fight for one."

Sun Hao said and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

Compared with himself last year, Yao Ming's draft has been much more stable.

Of course, he also knows that anything is possible before the draft is over.

He didn't want Yao Ming to be like him. After being selected, Duffy also said "Yao, you have been traded".

At this moment, there were bursts of boos at the scene.

Stern, come out.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to..."

Stern smiled and waited for the boos to fall, and then began the opening remarks of the annual draft.

Yao Ming looked really nervous at this moment, rubbing his hands back and forth under the table.

And he picked up the "oral liquid" bottle in front of him to drink water from time to time.

These are all natural manifestations of people under stress.

Taking advantage of Stern's time to read his lines, Sun Hao also turned his head to look at the reactions of other people in the small green room.

In fact, everyone's expressions are similar, all young faces are full of youthfulness, waiting for the call of the NBA.

Participating in the draft as a bystander is indeed a different experience for Sun Hao.

Speaking of which, he didn't enter the small green room last year, but this year he came in as a player's relatives and friends...

And what makes him curious is that because of Yao Ming's joining, there will definitely be someone who will fall out of the lottery in history, and he doesn't know which unlucky person it will be.

……

Wizards draft office.

Team owner Pauline, president of operations Jordan, general manager Wes Anseld, including the team's new coach Collins, and some others on the draft team are all included.

In fact, the draft is really a huge project.

Even until the second before a decision is made, any possibility exists.

Anseld hung up the phone in his hand, and then said a word.

"The Houston team raised the price, and they are willing to send this year's 13th pick again."

After saying this, there was another discussion in the draft room.

The Wizards got the No. [-] pick. In a big draft year, it is normal for someone to get it from a trade.

Houston is one of the most enthusiastic teams.

In order to get this year's No. [-] pick, they have been willing to pay Francis as a bargaining chip.

Now the No. 13 pick has been added.

It's really heartwarming.

You must know that Francis was the second pick in the 1999 draft, and he belongs to the kind of quasi-All-Star player who has already played.

If you add a lottery pick in the draft year, this deal will have to be weighed by individuals.

"Who the hell is worth the price those guys in Houston paid?"

Pauline couldn't help but speak.

Because of Olajuwon, the league still has a deep memory of the Houston team.

Time has passed, and the Houston team is now all in decline, leaving only memories and emotions.

But it seems that they have found the "new key" to rise again.

There was a silence in the draft room.
