Stern's routine routine, daily pauses, everyone stared at him.
Especially the fans of the New York Knicks, they held their breath and waited patiently.
The New York Knicks have finally won the No. 1 pick this season, and the Knicks' revival is the spark.
According to Stern's personality, if the Knicks do not seize this opportunity, they will probably not have to expect the Knicks to be the No. 1 pick in the future.
"Liandao, silk, 2.04 small forward, from the University of Southern California."
The Knicks made their choice: Liandao!!
The Knicks have actually always been clear about their goal, which is Liandao.
Especially when the head coach and the general manager reach an agreement.
It’s not that there are teams that offer high-standard chips, the Warriors even ended up using Monta Ellis and Stephen Jackson to exchange for the No. 1 pick.
But in the end, they were rejected by Donnie.
This made Chris Mullin directly overturn the table and kept calling Donnie a liar.
In fact, not only the Warriors, but also the Suns, the Pacers all offered high chips. In the end, the Suns even agreed to exchange Amare Stoudemire for the No. 1 pick. The Pacers offered to use them to be selected as All-Stars.
The lineup's small forward Danny Granger exchanged the No. 1 pick.
What is Amare Stoudemire? That's an All-Star player.
To be honest, Donnie was really moved, especially after Lian Dao broke out with a "scandal".
Donnie is not a fool if he can sit in the general manager position.
Can Liandao really make them pay so much?
Or, we underestimated his potential.
Potential? Potential!
The word suddenly poured into Donnie's mind.
That’s right, from being unfavorable in the comments of the head coach at high school to leading the University of Southern California to the NCAA championship.
From the draft prediction after the second round of interruption, it was a hit with the No. 1 pick.
From the speed shortcoming to the shock of the joint center 3.05 seconds.
What is this? This is a leapfrog improvement in strength!
This is infinite potential. Isn’t the draft pick a potential player?
Donnie finally noticed something in his mind.
I almost became Bob Bath!
After reacting, Donnie also announced that he would close all transactions and refuse any negotiations.
When they heard that the New York Knicks announced that they would refuse to negotiate, all the teams were shocked, but there was no way. After all, no agreement was reached, so the decision to sign the No. 1 pick belongs to the Knicks.
The moment Stern announced his exit, Donnie and D'Antoni also looked at each other and smiled.
...
When Stern announced the result, the Knicks fans also became double-faced, cheering loudly, looking forward to Lian Dao returning to the Knicks.
On the other side, there was booing. They didn't expect that the Knicks finally chose this player with "unright trial attitude".
But booing is only a very small part. After all, there have been sober fans recently posting to question previous reports, especially a report by Haaland, which introduced Lian Dao's hard training and his performance in the stadium during college, and firmly believed that
This is because of some people's malicious smear.
Once this article was published online, it was reprinted by countless people.
When he heard that the top scorer was not his Griffin, his eyes were also a little lonely.
"Congratulations to Lian Dao! He is the second Chinese player to sign in the NBA with the No. 1 pick after Yao Ming." Yang Yi was also excited. This is the No. 1 pick, and China has another No. 1 pick.
You should know that before China, with a population of 1.3 billion, only one Yao Ming entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick, and one more will be added after that.
That's the clean rice!
Then, what is Lian Dao doing at this time?
The moment he heard that he was the top scorer, he was very excited and couldn't control himself and hugged Guo Yuwei beside him.
Although I had a premonition before, when I really became the top scorer, the excitement was uncontrollable.
When people are emotionally excited, they are particularly bold, which directly reveals their inner thoughts.
After hugging her, she ignored Guo Yuwei's little surprised expression, and then hugged her mother again.
Then he took a deep breath, then turned around and fisted with Demar and James Harden.
Then, he took the Knicks' hat from the staff and walked to the stage.
When he walked onto the stage, he also took the initiative to reach out to Stern while walking.
"Congratulations, I wish you all the best!"
Stern also revealed a kind smile and blessed Lian Dao.
After shaking hands, Lian Dao took a photo in front of the camera.
Today, the suit worn by Lian Dao is carefully customized. The dragon pattern embroidery on the sleeves, the cloud pattern eucalyptus, and the golden embroidery of the Chinese character "China" on the chest highlights the unique characteristics of China.
The audience at the scene did not respond much, but they just felt very handsome.
However, domestic fans watching the live broadcast of the draft show have discovered these small details.
This is a romance that belongs to the Chinese!
...
After taking a photo, Lian Dao walked off the stage to be interviewed by a reporter.
In fact, this kind of question is almost the same every year, just asking about the Knicks and expectations.
"The Knicks are a very good team, they have a brilliant history, and the golden generation in the 1970s also won two championships. In 1994 and 1999, the Knicks also reached the finals.
I know that there are excellent players in the team now including Chris Duhon, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, David Lee, Danilo Gallinari, and excellent coaches like D'Antoni
, I look forward to joining them!"
At this time, it is time to test emotional intelligence. High emotional intelligence: I look forward to joining; low emotional intelligence: I will lead the team to the playoffs!
Through this NCAA experience in Lian Dao this season, he also learned how to deal with media interviews.
When Lian Dao was interviewing, he often used his eyes to see if there were any staff around him coming.
He wasn't sure whether the New York Knicks would trade him, after all, the chips placed by other teams this year were really tempting.
Lian Dao is the top scorer, so he was the first to go over and accept questions from reporters.
Lian Dao came to the media interview room.
As the No. 1 pick, there are so many things worth paying attention to.
Nothing else is said, just the No. 1 pick is the most attractive.
Lian Dao is also busy in the media room.
After finally dealing with the American media, I was interviewed by Yang Yi from China.
Of course, Yang Yi’s question is only related to Lian Dao’s future planning, such as how to integrate into the team, goals for the rookie season, etc.
When he finally finished the interview, he also found that Donnie's phone call was also called.
After a brief exchange, both sides happily ended the call.
And during Donny's communication, he learned that he was a non-sale product from the Knicks.
In response to this, Lian Dao just smiled after hearing this. The business alliance can even trade superstars, let alone a rookie who has not played in a game. As long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be traded in the eyes of them.
of.
Although he did not take Downey's promise to heart, being able to say this promise also shows how much Knicks value him.
