June 2008, 6, Madison Square Garden, New York
The annual NBA Draft will be held here.
The draft was broadcast live by ESPN to 203 countries and regions around the world. Sports Illustrated, NBC, CBS and other media all arrived at the scene, preparing to report first-hand.
Now there are big names gathered, such as Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and many other superstars, as well as general managers and coaches of various teams.
Duke is sitting in the small green room at this time, and as the favorite of the top five picks, he is naturally qualified to sit here.
Sitting next to him was his agent, Bill Duffy.
Other lottery picks are full of friends and relatives, Duke seems a bit shabby.
But it's not about the number of people, but about the quality, at least Duke thinks so.
When the draft officially started, a silver-haired old man walked onto the stage with a smile. It was David Stern.
Seeing Stern, Duke was in awe. This old man single-handedly laid the future of the NBA, turning a little-known NBA into a super league open to the world!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NBA Draft 2008, this draft..."
Stern started some speeches before the draft, and after the speeches, the main event officially began!
"I announce that the draft has officially begun!"
As soon as the words fell, the staff stepped forward and handed Stern a note.
Stern opened the note and announced with a smile:
"The Chicago Bulls with the No. 2008 overall pick in the 1 draft, Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis!"
When the applause sounded, Rose excitedly embraced the relatives and friends next to him, then took the baseball cap handed by the staff and went on stage, shaking hands with Stern and taking a photo with a smile on his face.
"The Miami Heat with the No. 2008 pick in the 2 draft, Michael Beasley from Kansas State University!"
There were no surprises in the first two picks, and the two won the No. [-] and No. [-] picks respectively.
What Duke didn't know at this time was that an open and secret battle was going on against him.
The live box of the Timberwolves Draft Conference.
Kevin McHale is ready to write a note with OJ Mayo's name and is about to hand it to the staff.
That's when the phone rang and Kevin McHale answered.
"Huh? You want our draft pick? Are you kidding me? We've already picked it. What? You trade him for..."
After Stern and Beasley took a group photo, they waited for a long time but still didn't get the Timberwolves' choice. They felt something was wrong, so they hurriedly asked the staff to urge them.
There were also boos from the audience.
oj Mayo also had a gloomy face, and he, who was originally predicted to be selected with the third overall pick, felt a bit of coolness.
The media reporters on the sidelines were even more excited. As reporters, they have a keen sense of smell, and a deal has occurred.
After a while, the staff finally took the note and handed it to Stern.
Stern opened the note, showing a little surprise, and then read the long-awaited voice.
"The Minnesota Timberwolves selected the No. 2008 pick in the 3 draft, Duke Wright from Guangdong Hongyuan!"
Duke is stupid, this is not the script I thought of.
After celebrating for a while, Duke put on his baseball cap and walked onto the stage.
Stern's eyes lit up as he looked at the handsome and tough young man in front of him.
"This kid looks good."
Then he shook hands with Duke and said, "Congratulations, kid."
Duke politely returned: "Thank you, Mr. President, and thank you for everything you have done for the NBA!"
Stern smiled even more when he heard that.
"The young man is really sensible."
.....
"Bill, what's going on?"
"Duke, the plan can't keep up with the changes. I just received the news that the Timberwolves traded the third pick!"
"Which team is it?"
"New York Knicks! They traded Stephon Marbury to the Timberwolves for the third pick and a trade exception!"
Duke was shocked, and there was only one thought in his head.
"Am I the illegitimate son of Dolan?"
......
In a luxurious manor.
A middle-aged man is lying on the sofa watching TV.
The TV is playing the 2008 NBA draft, when Stern reads
"The Minnesota Timberwolves selected the third overall pick in the 2008 draft, Duke Wright from Guangdong Hongyuan!"
The man smiled.
The man is the Knicks boss - James Dolan.
It was his decision to trade Stephon Marbury to the Timberwolves for the third pick and take Duke.
He's been following Duke for a long time.
It was an accidental situation. He watched Duke's high school games. The first time he saw Duke, he was attracted by his spirituality in playing, and then he has been following his games.
When Duke ruptured his Achilles tendon, he regretted it for a long time.
Later, he became interested again after hearing that Duke played basketball again and played in overseas leagues. When he saw Duke's dominance on the court, he was moved.
Isn't this the player I've been looking for?Don't our Knicks just lack a leader who has a strong character and can get up again after falling?
Afterwards, he studded his team's top player, Stephen Marbury. Anyway, Stephen Marbury is a white-eyed wolf who fights with the team every day. It is not a loss to trade him for a future leader.
As for whether Duke can fulfill his talent, meeting his expectations is not within his consideration.
So what if it can't be fulfilled?Anyway, this is not the first time the Knicks have been taken advantage of!
......
Duke actually resisted going to the Knicks at first. After all, the name of the lone wolf is too loud. If you add Larry Brown in the previous two years, Duke will not go to death.
But it was different after hearing that Marbury was traded for him.
Although the Knicks are a bad team, the bad team is easy to collect statistics. The statistics are beautiful and there is hope to win the best rookie this year.
What does the best rookie represent? It represents a generous reward from the system!
With rewards, one's own strength will improve, and if the strength is improved, are you afraid that you will not have a record?
And the most important thing is that Marbury is gone, the Knicks have no leader, as long as he shows a strong performance, then the Knicks' star is himself.
What's more, New York is still the most developed city in the world. I played in the Knicks, and my commercial value went up two levels in an instant!
The more Duke thought about it, the more excited he became.
...
After the draft, Duke was surrounded by reporters.
"Duke, just now the league announced the trade information. You were sent to the Knicks by the Timberwolves. What do you think about this?"
New York reporter asks a question!
"The Knicks are a great club and it's an honor to play for them!"
"So what do you have to say to the Knicks fans?"
The reporter continued to ask questions.
Duke thought for a while and replied
"I said before that I would bring my talent to the NBA, and now I'm going to change that sentence."
"I'll bring my talent to the New York Knicks!"
.....
The next day.
"I'll bring my talent to the New York Knicks!"
"The 2008 draft officially came to an end yesterday, when the Knicks selected Duke Wright with the 3rd pick and Danilo Gallinari with the 6th pick.
Among them, a reporter from our newspaper interviewed Duke. When asked what he would say to the Knicks fans, Duke replied, "I will bring my talent to the New York Knicks!"
As a Knicks fan, I am very touched. The New York Knicks have been in decline for a long time, and they always feel chaotic and lifeless. The league treats the Knicks as a laughing stock.
And when I heard this sentence, I felt my blood boil!For his words, no matter how he performed this season, I will support him. The Knicks need a leader who can support the scene so much! "
New York Times reporter Anderson.
"This is a perfect deal. Dolan finally polished his dog's eyes. The cancer of Marbury staying in the Knicks will only destroy the atmosphere of the team. Sooner or later, he will be driven away, and he will be traded for Winning Duke is obviously a big profit, the goal of the Knicks this season is to strengthen Duke, Duke will be our future leader!"
New York Times reporter McConning.
Duke was a little dumbfounded when he saw the newspaper.
This is too loud, it's not like normal New York fans at all!
Duke even wondered if Bill Duffy was helping.
They all quickly dispelled this doubt. Bill Duffy doesn't have such great energy to make the whole New York Times brag about himself.
What's going on?
Duke, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't want to think about it. Instead, he boasted that it was a good thing.
As for the pressure?The pressure is for those who have no strength!
