MTL - NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O’Neal-Chapter 40 Settled in the tear city

For everyone's panic, Nel Orsey still looked calm, sitting on the sofa and even shaking his glass leisurely.

"Nell, you..."

"Rest assured everyone, I predicted this would happen before the draft, so just last night, the team reached a deal with the Raptors with the eighth overall pick."

"Our boss's financial resources, you understand!"

Having a big backer is indeed a good thing!

Orsi smiled slightly and took a sip of red wine.

As soon as Paul Allen was mentioned, and he thought of his ability to make bills, everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance, and immediately resumed the original chat and laughter.

…

"The sixth pick in the first round in 2012, the Trail Blazers selected Damien Lillard, a senior from Weber State University. Let's congratulate this young man with applause!"

"Damien, congratulations!"

The Trail Blazers still took Lillard with the sixth pick. Although Wang Zelin felt a little disappointed, he was more happy for this friend who he had just made a while ago.

"Thank you King, I believe it will be with you soon."

"hope so!"

After seeing Lillard on the draft stage, Wang Zelin took his seat again.

"It looks like they're going to use the eleventh pick..."

"Zelin, don't worry, it will be with you soon." Her mother, Lin Huiqing, was worried about her son's other thoughts, so she leaned over and held Wang Zelin's hand.

"I'm fine, Mom."

Soon, the Warriors with the seventh overall made their choice, and they selected Harrison Barnes, the North Carolina Blackhawks.

The North Carolina Blackhawks originally had the opportunity to compete for the No. 1 pick last season, but because of his enthusiasm, he chose to play for one more year and his strength did not increase significantly, which caused his draft market to decline.

However, since Wang Zelin once rejected the Warriors' invitation to try out, they naturally wouldn't lick their faces to invite an uncle.

With the eighth overall pick, the pick was the Toronto Raptors.

The moment the letter was opened, the audience in front of the TV, through the close-up, could clearly see that the famous NBA president was stunned for a moment.

There is a good show to watch!

At this moment, everyone who understands already understands.

Immediately afterwards, David Sent raised his head, facing the camera, showing the audience a familiar smile.

"The eighth pick in the first round of 2020, the Toronto Raptors chose a young center from China ~ Wang ~ Ze ~ Lin!"

"Let's congratulate this young man! We also wish him a great future!"

Ah no!

After Wang Zelin took the cap with the Raptors logo printed on him from the staff next to him, he stepped onto the stage with a confused look.

We don't seem to have gone to Toronto for trial training. How could they choose me?

No, I don't want to go to that place where birds don't shit.

"Young people, welcome to the NBA!"

"I'm glad to meet you too, Mr. David Stern!"

"Hahaha, I can see that your English is very good, much better than that of YI. This will be of great help for you to integrate into the NBA."

"thanks!"

Then it was time for a group photo of the two of them.

After returning to his seat, Wang Zelin cast his doubtful eyes on Zhou Yang.

Just when he wanted to see how Zhou Yang, the agent, explained, the phone rang.

"xxx..."

"Zeling, it turned out that the Trail Blazers and the Raptors made a deal. They used the team's 11th pick plus some extra chips to get the Raptors' 8th pick."

"So the place I'm going to is still Portland!"

"That's right, our goal is still Portland."

"That's fine, that's fine!"

After a brief uproar, the draft continued.

The Pistons originally wanted to intercept Wang Zelin in advance so that they could rob the Blazers or Mosaic.

But now seeing that stealing the chicken was not possible, he had to adopt the original plan and chose the young God Zhuang, who was a freshman at Kangda University, with the ninth pick in his hand.

Drummond's physical talent is outstanding in the center position. If it wasn't for Wang Zelin's emergence, he would have been the Pistons' first choice.

…

At the end of the draft, Wang Zelin, who was selected with the eighth pick in the first round, was chased and intercepted by a large number of reporters.

Since Wang Zelin publicly rejected the Golden State Warriors' training camp invitation, in recent issues of the NBA prospect list, Wang Zelin's top pick is only the twelfth pick of the Mosaic team.

Even in the hearts of most people, Wang Zelin may really have the ability to play in the NBA, but his pick should be around the middle to the end of the first round.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The Trail Blazers were willing to trade the No. 8 pick from the Raptors to sign Wang Zelin.

Why is he?

He hasn't proven himself yet.

This became a question for everyone except the Blazers.

Including Chinese fans and media on the other side of the ocean.

"Congratulations, King! You have become the highest-ranked Chinese player after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. Can you share with us your feelings at this moment?"

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding spears slapped Wang Zelin's face indiscriminately.

Fortunately, when he was playing CBA in China, he had not seen such a big scene, and had enough experience to face the countless flashes in front of him.

"First of all, I would like to thank the management of the Blazers for their trust in me. At the same time, I also feel that I am completely worthy of the No. 8 pick in the first round. I believe time will tell everything..."

Wang Zelin's self-confidence and domineering at this moment is far from comparable to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, who just entered the league.

I just don't know, whether this young man really has top-notch hard goods in his hands, or is it just a mouthpiece.

But no matter what, Wang Zelin has passed the media hurdle for the time being, and the next step is to see how strong he is.

…

"What is the magic power of the inside players of the Celestial Dynasty? Why are they repeatedly selected in the first round with high picks?"

"King's future: Yao, Yi, or Oden?"

"Open low and go high, the biggest upset has been born!"

"The first trade in the draft was born: Celestial center settled in Portland!"

For a time, many fans and reporters from major media were eager to know: Why did Wang Zelin, who had a confusing prospect on the eve of the draft, suddenly upset at the draft?

This is not the eighth pick in a young draft year, but a big draft year, which is quite valuable.

"King was selected because we believe he has enough potential to help the Trail Blazers get a freshman. He definitely deserves the eighth pick in the first round. Portland fans, please start your revelry!"

Now that they are a family, the Trail Blazers decided to announce to everyone their confidence in this operation at the press conference of the official signing of Wang Zelin.

Comparing Wang Zelin with the new champion Davis: in terms of height, wingspan, strength, etc., Wang Zelin has suppressed the latter.

Of course, Davis' strong athletic ability can be said to have completely overwhelmed Wang Zelin.

But no matter what, when Wang Zelin was told everything about the Blazers' trial training by the general manager Olsi, the Blazers fans who were still clamoring for the team's management to be blind, UU read www.uukanshu.com This came to my mind.

With such physical talent, he can barely get along with Davis.

This is a talented center who is enough to enter the top five or even the top three picks, but now he has been taken down by the team with the eighth overall pick.

Thinking of the sixth pick Lillard and the team's core Aldridge, many Blazers fans began to react.

The two young people the team selected this year can be said to be talented. What is even more rare is that their main position does not overlap with the team boss Aldridge, the All-Star power forward, which means that the Blazers can completely With the three of them as the framework, create a winning lineup.

Looking at the Thunder next door, the Trail Blazers fans who recovered also knew that they were about to have their own three young masters.

…

On the far side of the ocean, the news that Wang Zelin was selected by the Trail Blazers with the eighth pick has officially spread throughout the basketball world.

All of a sudden, dazzling reports such as the appearance of another big man in the Celestial Dynasty and the inheritance of the Great Wall of the Celestial Dynasty began to fill the entire online world.

At this time, Yao Ming had retired for nearly a year, and Yi Jianlian's performance in the NBA was gradually declining. Now the Chinese men's basketball team needs a new support.

Wang Zelin, this name is like a new excitement, stimulating the nerves of all basketball fans.

CBA championship!

CBA Finals MVP!

CBA honorary Grand Slam winner!

…

Wang Zelin's various achievements in the CBA have begun to be known to more people, and his fan value is also rising rapidly.

However, no matter how hot the outside world is now, Wang Zelin's NBA journey has officially started.
