The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 7 Los Angeles Lakers!
"In 2006, No. [-] pick in the NBA draft,"

The white-haired old man with a kind smile held the envelope in his hand and looked down at the audience with a smile.

Zhang Bolong couldn't help but look at him more.

In the previous life, this white-haired old man passed away on the first day of the new year in 2020.

Although Stern also had a lot of criticism during his tenure, there is no doubt that since he served as the president of the NBA in 1984, the NBA has entered the ranks of the most successful professional sports leagues in the world.

Especially in this world in 1985, a year after Lan Dongliang joined the alliance, he went to China in person, and waited for more than an hour in front of the CCTV building in the cold spring, holding a carefully edited Lan Dongliang Match highlights...

Due to the appearance of Lan Dongliang, David Stern visited China four years earlier than in history, and China's acceptance of the NBA has also greatly improved.

In Zhang Bolong's eyes, this little old man can definitely be regarded as the godfather of the NBA and a great president.

At least, he was way taller than the man who even brought Spinach into the league afterwards.

"...Toronto Raptors, choose - Andrea Bargnani from Italy!"

Before the words fell, there was a burst of cheers and tsunami-like applause from the audience, and then there were flashing lights like a storm, offering the most dazzling attention of the lighthouse country to the new champion.

This handsome Caucasian guy from Apennines stood up in surprise and hugged his family.

Among the congratulations, there was only a soft lip smacking sound from a certain corner.

"Long, do you really think he's going to lose? This guy has played well in Europe, and this year is another draft year."

"Who said he was a young draft pick?" Zhang Bolong glared at him, "Let's not talk about me, even Kyle can beat this guy."

Lowry on the side already had the feeling of meeting true love.

He felt that Zhang Bolong was more optimistic about himself than his own mother.

Nate Robinson looked at the little green house, "But the champion must have two brushes, otherwise why should he be the champion?"

"Maybe... he's being polite?"

Little Tudou said speechlessly, "This joke is not funny."

"The second pick, the Chicago Bulls, selected - LaMarcus Aldridge from Texas State University at Austin!"

"Morrison should be the No. [-] player. He can't do it either? He's a big hit in the NCAA. 'Bird II' really didn't come out of it."

Although Nate Robinson told himself in his heart, Zhang Bolong is like a person who can only boast and talk big.

But his self-confidence, which can be said to be groundless and unreasonable, always inevitably affects himself.

This damn temperament!

Little Tudou gave him a look of resentment, and couldn't help but listen to him start giving advice.

In fact, Little Tudou is right. Morrison is a parallel importer in the eyes of domestic fans, but he was a real genius during college, comparable to "Little Melon" and not much inferior.

Similar to Bird, they don't have top-notch physical fitness, but they have countless offensive methods to deceive their opponents, with extremely accurate shots and brilliant goals.

The point is, Morrison's potential is huge.

In his sophomore year, someone once pointed out his lack of three-point ability.

This gentleman even used one year to greatly increase his three-point shooting percentage, becoming his trump card.

Compared with the No. [-] man who has practiced for five or six years and still has no basket ten years later, how can this kind of progress make people not tempted?

It can't be blamed on Qiao Gangzhu's slap again this time, it's because this guy's university performance is too confusing...

"Not very good, I think it's not as good as you." Zhang Bolong commented.

"Hey, thanks—no, are you complimenting me?"

"It depends on how you understand it. You probably don't need me to explain it."

"No, no need."

With the announcement of David Stern, the flash lights on the field flickered on and off like stars.

With the 24th overall pick, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Lowry.

Xiao Gangpao got up excitedly and hugged the two of them tightly, "Long, you must be coming soon, you won't fall out of the first round!"

Next up is the 25th pick...the 26th pick.

Until the 26th overall pick, Stern Gujing's expressionless expression suddenly had a slight ripple.

Zhang Bolong's heart skipped a beat.

In the previous life, the Lakers selected the double champion defender Jordan Farmar with this pick.

And he is also a combo guard, so his position does not conflict!

He knew that Lan Dongliang had helped him. Although he didn't disclose which team it was, Zhang Bolong guessed it was probably the home team he used to play for.

However, the value of the first-round pick is not low, even if he was once very talented, but the Achilles tendon injury can't be faked.

In the NBA draft, how many talents are ignored because of the hidden danger of injury.

And what about myself?But the Achilles tendon ruptured!
How many famous stars have fallen to this injury, and is there any team willing to bet on a rookie with a first-round pick?
Finally, in Zhang Bolong's expectation,
Stern's voice detonated the red country on the other side of the ocean.

"The Los Angeles Lakers chose—"

He looked at the CCTV reporters in the media area.

"Zhang Bolong from China!"

Of course, Stern paid attention to this former draft favorite, with his handsome appearance and explosive and gorgeous playing style. He even wanted to persuade the Bulls to pick the Eastern flying man with the second pick to rekindle his retirement from Jordan. After that, it was plain Chicago.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for him to suffer a huge injury.

Now, just right, Stern learned from Lan Dongliang that his injury had recovered. Although he didn't know how this kind of injury could recover so quickly, he believed that the old man would not lie to him.

Such a player who has great popularity in China came to Los Angeles, the city of angels, and teamed up with "Peter Pan" Kobe to form a double gun in the backcourt. What will it bring to the NBA?
The old Jewish man knows everything with his toes.

……

Beyond the brilliance,
Robinson and Lowry shook Zhang Bolong excitedly.

"Oh my god! Los Angeles! Dude, you're going to Los Angeles!"

"Shh." Zhang Bolong stretched out his hand to signal him to be quiet, he didn't want to be surrounded by the media who got wind of the news, "Look at your ignorant appearance."

"Who said I haven't seen the world, my pick last year was higher than yours...Huh? You don't look very calm."

"Maybe," Zhang Bolong stood up, "I'm going back."

"Why don't you go to the nightclub for a drink or two? This is my territory, please!"

"There's no reason for the younger brothers to invite the boss. Let's not do it this time. Next time in Los Angeles, I will invite you."

"All right, you bastard!"

Zhang Bolong patted the two with a smile, turned around and walked out of the theater.

"Los Angeles..."

"The whole thing is very good. If Lao Zhan was in place like me in one step back then, he would have saved the decision to make a lot of decisions. Maybe there will be two more champions. No. 1 is really expected."

"I also wanted to visit you at first, but I didn't expect to be a teammate directly now."

"Hello, Peter Pan."

"Hello, Black Mamba."

"In this life, you don't have to think about being a helicopter anymore."
