Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

"Yeah, it's the Lakers. Zhuang Yu, you were selected by the Lakers."

"Haha, great."

Before Zhuang Yu could react, An Xin and Zhou Zhiming were already shouting happily. Li Huilan and Zhuang Zhihong were also beaming with joy. Their son was selected by the Lakers with the seventh overall pick.

My son has become an NBA player!

Although they already knew that Zhuang Yu would definitely be selected by an NBA team and entering the NBA was a sure thing, it was not until this moment that Zhuang Zhihong and Li Huilan felt completely at ease. Their eyes were full of pride and pride. .

"Brother, congratulations." Lavin stood up and hugged Zhuang Yu.

The venue burst into warm applause.

Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, calmed down, stood up, hugged his family and LaVine one by one, and walked onto the stage amidst applause.

He took the cap with the Lakers logo on it, put it on, shook hands with Adam Silva, and came to the microphone.

The applause fell silent.

Zhuang Yu grinned, unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and said: "When I heard that I was selected by the Lakers, I knew that today is one of the best days in my life. I like Los Angeles and the Lakers. team and I’m glad I can be a part of them.”

popping...

Suddenly, applause broke out.

Zhuang Yu said this out of emotion. He didn't expect that he would be selected by the Lakers with the seventh overall pick. This was really a surprise.

"Thanks to my family, my coaches, my agents..."

After speaking, Zhuang Yu did not end, but switched to Chinese and spoke to the channel: "I know that there are many fans looking at me at this moment, and there are many Chinese fans silently supporting me. Thank you. , please believe me, I will not let you down or embarrass China!"

After speaking, Zhuang Yu walked off the stage regardless of people's reactions.

The venue was quiet for a few seconds, and then someone started to applaud, and then there was more applause...

The draft continues.

With the eighth pick, the Kings selected Nick Stauskas.

With the ninth pick, the Hornets selected Noah Vonleh.

With the 76th pick, the ers selected Elfrid Payton.

It wasn't until the 11th pick that Randall was selected by the Nuggets.

When he heard his name, his face became a little tense.

I thought I was safe with the seventh pick, but I didn't expect that the Lakers actually selected Zhuang Yu, and he fell out of the top ten and was not selected until the 11th pick.

Randall stood up with a somewhat forced smile on his face. When he walked onto the stage, he turned and glanced at Zhuang Yu, with the word "unhappy" clearly written in his eyes.

With the twelfth pick, the Magic selected Dario Saric.

With the 13th pick, the Timberwolves selected Zach LaVine.

This result did not surprise Zhuang Yu.

First of all, where is LaVine's talent? He has great hope of entering the lottery. However, without him in the previous twelve picks, there are only two spots left in the lottery.

Secondly, the 13th pick belongs to the Timberwolves.

There have been rumors before that the Timberwolves want to select Zhuang Yu with the 13th pick, and there are even rumors that the Timberwolves may trade up the pick to ensure that they can get Zhuang Yu.

But obviously, the Timberwolves didn't expect the Lakers to choose Zhuang Yu. Even if it was an upward trade, they didn't expect it to be so much higher.

If you fail to get Zhuang Yu, it would be logical to choose Zach LaVine, who is also from UCLA. At least you will give Love an explanation.

After all, LaVine is also Love's junior.

With the 14th overall pick, the Suns selected TJ Warren.

At this point, all 14 lottery picks have been released.

......

Until all the results of the top 20 picks were released, Zhuang Yu did not hear the names of Anderson, Adams and others.

This made him a little worried about Anderson.

Fortunately, at the 22nd pick, he finally heard Kyle Anderson's name - Anderson was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the 22nd pick in the first round.

"The 22nd pick in the first round is not bad." Zhuang Yu said to himself with a smile.

"Kyle must be very happy." LaVine also said.

Although Anderson failed to enter the "Little Green Room" and did not enter the lottery area, the 22nd pick in the first round has fully met his expectations.

At the end of the first round, which was the 30th pick, Zhuang Yu heard the name of Jordan Adams - he was selected by the Spurs.

Now UCLA has four players selected, all of them in the first round. They are definitely the big winners of this draft.

Only the University of Kansas can compare with it.

Although the University of Kansas currently only has Wiggins and Embiid, one is the No. 1 pick and the other is the No. 3 overall pick. The numbers cannot be compared with UCLA, but the picks are really high.

It's just a pity that until all the second-round draft results were released, Zhuang Yu didn't hear the names of Parker and Powell.

Two were voted out.

At this point, the 2014 NBA Draft has come to an end.

......

When leaving the Barkley Center, Zhuang Yu found dozens of messages on his phone, all of which were congratulatory messages from relatives and friends.

Obviously, everyone is paying attention to the draft.

Taking their mobile phones, they replied one by one, and then the group went to the hotel to meet up with Tai Lun and other members of the management team, where a celebration party had been prepared.

Needless to say, the celebration was lively.

After it was over, Zhuang Yu sat down with Zhou Zhiming and Tai Lun.

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Why would the Lakers choose me? Didn't they always say they would choose Randall before?"

Tai Lun chuckled and said mysteriously: "I heard that they originally planned to choose Randall, but someone changed their decision."

Who?

Zhuang Yu and Zhou Zhiming were both stunned. Is it Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers?

It doesn't seem right. As the general manager of the Lakers, Kupchak must have approved the Lakers' previous selection of Randle.

So who influenced the Lakers' decision?

Could it be...

For a moment, both Zhuang Yu and Zhou Zhiming thought of one person - apart from the team management, that man was probably the only person who could influence the team's decision-making.

Zhuang Yu suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked, "Could it be Kobe?"

Talon smiled and said: "You guessed it right. It is said that it was Kobe who made the Lakers management change their decision and give up Randall and choose you."

really......

Zhuang Yu secretly thought that it was true, but at the same time he was even more confused: "But why does Kobe want to help me? I have no friendship with him, and I have never even met him."

The Timberwolves wanted to draft me because of Love. I have a very good relationship with Love, but I don’t know Kobe, so why should they help me?

Tai Lun spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this."

Zhuang Yu looked at Zhou Zhiming, who also shook his head. None of the three could figure out what to do, but this was always a good thing. Going to the Lakers was better than going to other teams.

......

One day later, Zhuang Yu and others returned to Los Angeles.

The day after returning to Los Angeles, he came to the Lakers accompanied by Zhou Zhiming and Tai Lun and signed with the Lakers.

Since they are all in Los Angeles, there is no need to travel around, which is very convenient.

As soon as the group arrived, they saw someone greeting them in front. It turned out to be Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers.

Kupchak smiled when he saw Zhuang Yu and the others. He first said hello to Zhuang Yu and Zhou Zhiming, welcoming Zhuang Yu to the Lakers, and then exchanged a few words with Tai Lun. The two of them naturally knew each other, after all, they were both veterans in this industry.

Under the guidance of Kupchak, everyone came to the conference room.

There are already people here.

"Kobe."

Zhuang Yu couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised at one glance. He saw Kobe, but he didn't expect Kobe to be here.

In addition to Kobe, there is Lakers executive vice president Jeanie Buss, who is the daughter of team owner Jerry Buss and is known for her shrewdness and ability.

Even though Jenny Buss is a woman, among the several children of the old Buss, she is definitely the most well-known one, not only for her outstanding work ability, but also because of her many tidbits.

In particular, her relationship with "Zen Master" Phil Jackson has become a hot topic.

Just last year, Phil Jackson and Jeanie Buss were officially engaged.

Needless to say, although the two of them are not too young, and the Zen Master is already 67 years old, rich people really know how to be romantic. I don’t know if they know the Chinese word for "lifelong". In short, the two will be engaged on the day of their engagement. It was set for January 13, 1, a very special day.

"Zhuang Yu, welcome to join the Lakers." Jenny Buss took the initiative to hug Zhuang Yu, with a warm smile on her face.

"Thank you, it's my honor to play for the Lakers." Zhuang Yu also said with a smile.

But his mind was no longer on Aunt Jenny, his eyes were always on Kobe.

Sensing Zhuang Yu's eyes, Kobe smiled. Seeing that Zhuang Yu was a little reserved, he took the initiative to open his arms, hugged Zhuang Yu, and said with a smile: "Welcome. I have watched your game, and you are in the United Great training camp performance.”

Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up. Could it be because of this that Kobe would help him and let the team select him with the seventh overall pick?

He was right.

In fact, Kobe had paid attention to Zhuang Yu as early as the NCAA tournament.

After all, they are all in Los Angeles. UCLA entered the tournament, passed all the teams in the tournament, reached the Elite Eight, the Final Four, the championship game, and finally won the championship. How could Kobe not pay attention?

Zhuang Yu's performance in the championship can be said to be very outstanding, defeating many geniuses, which surprised Kobe at that time.

It was not until some time ago that Zhuang Yu's performance in the joint training camp made Kobe more and more impressed by him. Only then did the following things happen and Zhuang Yu came to the Lakers.

After some pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

The draft has ended, and the signing is a routine matter. The contracts are all standardized, a 3+1 rookie contract. Since Zhuang Yu is the 7th pick in the first round, according to regulations, his total salary in this rookie contract It’s $1355 million.

平均每年三百多万美刀，相比状元签的维金斯（4年2485万美刀）要少不少，但相比13顺位的拉文（4年965万）又要多出几百万。

Although after deducting state taxes, federal taxes, broker commissions, and other fees, only 55% is left, but there is still more than five million US dollars.

If converted into Chinese currency, it would be close to 4 million!

Therefore, participating in the NBA draft is really a way to get rich. You can become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire overnight.
