Chapter 10
Chapter 10 Draft begins
Time: June 27, 2008.
Location: Madison Square, New York City, USA.
People: Wang Dachun, Felix Frank.
Today is the day when the draft contest begins. Listen to Frank and say that this year’s draft contest will be broadcast live on ESPN TV from the US to 203 countries and regions around the world.
Frank is his own agent, someone may want to ask you. Why did Wang Dachun suddenly have an agent, such a tall man! In fact, it starts with Frank’s girlfriend.
Frank’s girlfriend named Zhang Yanan, and she happened to live in an apartment with Minister Wang, and she is currently studying at the College of Humanities at the University of Texas.
The University of Texas and Chengdu, China are located in the northern part of Dallas. Zhang Yanan is about to graduate, and the two have just become neighbors for the convenience of renting a house during the period. But this kind of person lived here half a year earlier than Wang Dachun.
The two knew a little bit of blood. Wang Dachun had just lived here for less than a week, and found a simple basketball court next to the waste recycling station in the west of Chinatown.
This basketball court should be early, and there are a lot of weeds growing on the ground, if it weren’t for Wang Dachun. In order to repair the bicycle left by the former tenant, I came here to find the parts, but I couldn’t find this basketball court.
Finding this basketball court was an unexpected gain for Wang Dachun. He was worried that he had no place to practice. He simply handled the basketball court and came here to practice basketball every day for the next period of time.
The main focus is on free throws and dribbles. This is William’s opinion based on his situation. Since the last time he broke up with William, William has only been here once and told him that the team should not have too much contact with the players. The league has regulations. If he is in China, he does not have to consider this aspect, but he must pay attention to these aspects when he comes to the United States.
Therefore, it is not easy for him to meet with Wang Dachun often and tell Wang Dachun that he can call him first if there is anything or any question.
Wang Dachun was practicing basketball this day. It was a little late, and it was dark when he returned. Something to eat in Chinatown, when walking back. There were people in the alley where they heard the screams saying “”Help me please” with voices of horror and fear mixed in Chinese and English.
Wang Dachun wanted to walk away directly. Because he knows that the United States is not safe at night. Many people have pistols. I didn’t intend to be nosy, but I heard that it was asking for help in Chinese. He just couldn’t move.
Courageously walked over. I saw a thin man pushing an Asian girl against the corner with a knife. Wang Dachun was a little brave and yelled. It was also his good luck. Maybe this robber committed the crime for the first time. He heard someone yelling and ran away without looking back.
That’s how Zhang Yanan met. Coincidentally, he knew that he was his neighbor.
Zhang Yanan just came back from New York. Her boyfriend’s house is over there. She just came back from over there today. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.
After returning to the apartment, after calling her Frank. Frank came over the next day. It can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is very good.
After thanking Wang Dachun for the first time, I became familiar with each other in the chat. I know that Frank and Zhang Nan are from the same school, but graduated from business school. They have graduated for more than a year and are currently with his father. Work in a law firm opened.
Frank and Zhang Yanan both thought that Wang Dachun was a student who came here to study abroad, but later learned that Wang Dachun’er was a player who participated in the NBA draft this year.
Frank discovered that Wang Dachun was not familiar with the draft process, and even if he was selected, he didn’t even know how to sign and protect his own interests.
It may also be in return that Wang Dachun saved his girlfriend and offered to temporarily become Wang Dachun’s agent. To help him manage the draft related matters, Frank himself did not think that Wang Dachuan would definitely be selected.
Frank’s idea of coming to the draft was originally based on Wang Dachun’s intentions, and felt that there was no need to go to the scene.
He still loves money. After all, the expenses to come and go are a burden to him, Frank did ask to bear all the expenses himself, his family was originally in New York. His family is regarded as a middle-class family in the United States, and this expense is really not a big deal to him.
And to persuade Wang Dachun this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You have participated in a draft contest in your entire life, and you should leave a good memory. And I am your agent, and I will make a lot of money from you in the future. This kind of early investment is nothing at all. Wang Dachun agreed to come to New York.
Before Wang Dachun came to New York, Frank was forcibly forced to wear a suit, saying that this was a formal dress for formal occasions. It cost Wang Dachun more than 200 US dollars. He felt distressed that Wang Dacheng’s liver hurts.
In the draft hall, because Wang Dachun had no reputation at all, no one sitting in the back row of the hall did not attract anyone’s attention.
The draft meeting officially began. The general manager of the league, Stern, took the stage to make an opening speech. Wang Dachun can barely understand now. During this time with Frank Li, his English has improved a lot in listening and speaking.
This is incomparable with the speed of domestic progress. He now believes that in one sentence, the environment can make a person! (Forced)
After Stern’s speech, the draft officially began. A few minutes later, Stern began to announce the draft candidates for the first team.
First overall, the Chicago Bulls chose a 191 cm shooting guard from the University of Memphis, Derrick Rose.
The second overall pick, the Miami Heat chose a 206 cm power forward from Kansas State University-Michael Beasley.
The third overall pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose a 196 cm shooting guard from the University of Southern California-OJ Mayo.
No. 4 overall, the Oklamar Thunder chose Russell Westbrook, a 191 cm point guard from the University of California.
The fifth overall pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose Kevin Love, a 208 cm power forward from the University of California.
No. 6 overall, the New York Knicks choose…
Wang Dachun looked at the players who posed for a photo with Mr. Stern and shook hands. Knowing that they are well-known star players in all American universities, I can’t compare myself with others. I can only wait with peace of mind and hope that the Mavericks will not change their minds.
The 17th overall pick, the Toronto Raptors chose the 218 cm center Roy Hibbert from Georgetown University.
With the 18th overall pick, the Washington Wizards chose Jamal McGee, a 213 cm tall center from the University of Nevada.
…………
With the 24th overall pick, the Situ Supersonics chose a 208 cm power forward from the Republic of Congo, Serge Ibaka.
…………
The 30th overall pick, the Boston Celtics chose JR Giddens, a 196 cm shooting guard from the University of New Mexico.
