Because he insisted on participating in confrontation training, Yi Jianlian fell out with his American agent Feigen.
"If you continue like this, you may not only get injured, but also expose your own shortcomings." Fagan shouted:
"Yi, our efforts for so long cannot be in vain. Your current pick prediction is very good, I guarantee you."
"It is useless to cover up problems." Yi Jianlian said: "It is a good thing to expose problems so that we can improve as soon as possible."
"I need to go to a team that suits me." Yi Jianlian insisted.
"What are you talking about? No one will refuse a higher draft pick, it's all real money." Fagan was very helpless:
"Li Yan again? I don't know what Li Yan told you? I only know that you are not Li Yan. There will never be one like him in a hundred years."
Yi Jianlian and Fei Gen finally broke up on bad terms, and neither could convince the other.
Of course, as long as Yi Jianlian is willing, no one can stop him.
As a result, Yi Jianlian participated in trial training with many teams.
Different from doing movements without confrontation in the past, now Yi Jianlian has begun to participate in confrontation training.
The results were naturally somewhat unsatisfactory.
Yi Jianlian has another shortcoming: he doesn't like confrontation, and he lacks confrontation ability in the interior.
Yi Jianlian's draft pick began to decline. After all, the current league still attaches great importance to the internal confrontation ability.
Although Yi Jianlian is still very young, there is a risk that he will not be able to practice well.
Of course, Yi Jianlian's talent is visible to the naked eye. His shooting and ball handling are excellent.
In terms of athleticism and explosive power, Yi Jianlian is more like a defender than a big man inside.
No matter how bad the competition is, there are not many people in this class who are better in athletic talent and basketball skills than Yi Jianlian.
Yi Jianlian's draft pick has dropped to a certain extent, but Sun Yue's draft pick has improved a lot.
Sun Yue is 205cm tall, weighs 100kg, and has a serious oriental face.
That's right, he is simply the second Li Yan.
The most important thing is that Sun Yue also plays the position of point guard, another tall point guard.
Sun Yue's wingspan is 206cm, which is much lower than Li Yan, but it is enough for the point guard position.
His standing reach height is 2.71 meters, which is already higher than many small forwards.
Sun Yue's vertical jump is 10cm higher than Li Yan's body side data when he entered the league.
Of course, Sun Yue's passing and controlling ability is not at the same level as Li Yan, but many experts believe that Sun Yue will improve rapidly after entering the league.
After all, Li Yan's performance was worse than Sun Yue at the time; they believed that the Chinese people's potential was huge.
…………
On June 28, 2007, Madison Square Garden was brightly lit.
This year's draft will be broadcast live to 202 countries and regions around the world through the US ESPN TV station.
There were about twenty rookies sitting in the little green room. These were all players who were expected to be selected with high picks in the first round.
The rookies have different expressions, some are calm, some are nervous, some are anxious or expectant.
Normally, the number of people in a small green room is not fixed.
Team general managers vote on who they think may be in the lottery, and the league then invites players based on the results of that vote.
Generally speaking, there were at least a dozen people, and at most there would not be more than twenty.
Greg Oden and Kevin Durant are the first tier, and they are considered a level above other rookies.
The players behind are very close, which has resulted in more than twenty rookies coming to the Little Green Room this year.
Every year during the draft, the media and fans not only care about the high-ranking rookies, but also who sits last in the little green room.
This is just for fun, and it's really a bit crazy. This is why some players cried so sadly when they fell out of the first round in the Little Green Room.
The large number of people in the Green Room this year also means that the probability of a player falling out of the first round becomes very high. I wonder who will be the unlucky guy.
Yi Jianlian was relatively calm, after all, he had Li Yan's guarantee.
Sun Yue was under great pressure.
He was shaking a little while sitting on the stool. To be honest, he didn't expect to be invited at all.
Before Li Yan became FMVP, he was always the first pick in the second round. Who knew that the market would suddenly become so good?
Even stocks can't rise so fast!
Then Sun Yue's template turned out to be a "magician", and he was called Li Yan No. 2.
Damn it, don’t mess with me!
Sun Yue was really nervous. He only hoped that a team would select him in the first round, then he would be satisfied.
With David Stern stepping up to the plate, the draft begins.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Portland Trail Blazers selected center Greg Oden from Ohio State University!"
Li Yan did not come to the draft to join in the fun. He sat on the sofa with "Taylor Swift" and watched the live broadcast.
They stayed in a high-end apartment purchased by Swift in New York, but Li Yan was already looking at the house.
Li Yan felt that although he was quite suitable for making a living, it was necessary to buy a big house when he had money.
In particular, Li Yan has decided to develop in New York for a long time and build a comfortable base. No matter what kind of game he plays, it will be excellent.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the second pick in the first round, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Kevin Durant, a small forward from the University of Texas!"
There is no suspense, Oden and Durant were picked in the top two.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the third overall pick in the first round, the Atlanta Hawks selected Al Horford, a power forward from the University of Florida!"
The situation is consistent with Li Yan's expectation. Except for Yi Jianlian, the previous draft picks have not changed much from the previous life.
Because they fully demonstrated their confrontation, the Milwaukee Bucks did not intercept Hu Yi Jianlian, and they chose Brandon Wright.
No surprise, Yi Jianlian successfully heard his name in the eighth pick.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the eighth pick in the first round, the New York Knicks selected the power forward from China, Yi Jianlian!"
Yi Jianlian took the Knicks hat and put it on his head. Stern held Yi Jianlian's hand with a smile on his face.
Well, another Chinese player, so good! (bling, bUff from the number one market)
The Knicks successfully selected Yi Jianlian, and Li Yan didn't care about the next draft.
Until another Chinese name was read out by Stern.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, with the 19th pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Lakers selected the point guard from China, Sun Yue!"
PS: Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak: Kobe, although I failed to sign Li Yan, I selected another Chinese "Magician".
Nagging: Get out (ノ｀Д)ノ! ! ! !
