The fans were a little surprised when they saw the template given by the television station.
The template was the little emperor?
Was he that awesome?
Although James had yet to win the championship, he was definitely the number one player in the league in the future.
Although there were many haters, James's momentum was also like the sun at noon.
If Zhang Luo, who was being interviewed, knew that the template that ESPM had set for him was James, he would probably vomit a few liters of blood…
Zhang Luo was in a good mood when he went to the Knicks. The big market of the Knicks was very beneficial to him.
His alliance with the Knicks was simply a strong alliance.
Also, how much was the salary for the flower show? The total contract was over ten million dollars.
Zhang Luo was in a good mood when he thought about becoming a millionaire.
After the draft ended, the rookies all ran to the stage to take photos with Stern!
Looking at the young faces of Ross, Young Master Wei, Zhang Luo, and Lefu, Zhang Luo stood in the middle of them and took a photo.
Zhang Luo believed that this would be the golden generation of 2008.
....................
James Harden, Stephen Curry, Blake Griffin, and others were also watching the draft.
The few of them were very envious and secretly made up their minds that they would also stand on the stage next year.
Ross chatted with Zhang Luo on stage for a while.""Zhang, you took the MOP. I will take the Best Rookie award.”
"Fair competition, fair competition."”
"Dang, congratulations to the host for being selected as the third in the first round. You are rewarded with 20 honor points.”
Awesome!
Being selected also gave him honor points, so Zhang Luo felt very comfortable.
In the Knicks box, Donniwash looked at the smiling Zhang Luo with anticipation.
Hopefully, this young man could bring new hope to New York.
................
After the photo shoot, Zhang Luo and Austin went to the Knicks 'box and hugged and high-fived James Dolan, Donnie Wash, and the others.
"Zhang, what jersey number do you want to wear?" Donnie Wash asked!
"Number 25." Zhang Luo thought for a moment and said.
"Is this your lucky number?" Donniwash asked curiously.
"No, because it just happened to surpass number 23 and 24.”Zhang Luo shrugged.
“OK! Good luck!" Donnie Walsh encouraged.
Duolan liked Zhang Luo's arrogance. This was the vitality that a young man should have.
After settling everything, it was already midnight when Zhang Luo returned to the hotel.
To be selected as an NBA player in the draft was a dream for Zhang Luo.
In his previous life, he also had a dream where Stern called his name. In this life, he really did it.
He turned on his phone and replied to congratulatory messages one after another. Soon, his phone ran out of battery.
Zhang Luo lay in bed, thinking about his future development in the Knicks.
New York was undoubtedly the top city in the world, and Manhattan was the most prosperous area of the city.
Most of the attractions that Zhang Luo could think of in New York were in Manhattan. It was the best New York, from the Metropolis Museum to the Empire State Building, from the United Nations Headquarters to Times Square, and from Wall Street to the Garden.
It was home to the basketball holy land, the madison square garden.
It had one of the best football markets in the world.
But there was also the New York Knicks who were useless!
23 wins and 59 losses. This was the New York Knicks 'regular season record last season. They were fourth from the bottom in the league, first from the bottom in offensive efficiency, second from the bottom in field goal percentage, and first from the bottom in assist rate.
The New York Knicks did not play badly, but their numbers were comparable to that.
The current Knicks really had nothing to be proud of other than their geographical location in New York.
Zhang Luo also sympathized with the Knicks fans who had suffered for a few years, but he was very confident in himself. His strength was at a super level, and he could bring a new style to the New York Knicks.
If the superstars didn't want to come to the Knicks, then Zhang Luo would help the Knicks gain face.
Zhang Luo came to his favorite team and was full of ambition.
......
Thinking about the Knicks lineup, Zhang Luo felt that it was not that bad.
The current Knicks lineup had David Lee, Jamal Crawford, and Wilson Chan. All three of them were above average players. Du Hong, Bennett, and Larry Hughes also had their own characteristics.
Zhang Luo soon realized what the problem was.
These people's attacks were still okay.
However, the problem lay in their defense!
The Knicks did not have many defensive players at all. In addition, their head coach, D'Antoni, was not good at defense, which led to the Knicks losing an average of 107 points per game last season.
How could they win without defense?
It was harder to expect them to learn how to defend, so they could only bring in defensive players.
Zhang Luo knew very well that the management wanted to train him as the core, so that he could be like Durant, casually playing and attracting the market and sponsors.
Battle results and whatnot, it didn't matter!
This was how lousy teams nurtured superstars.
In this situation, according to the management of the Knicks, before Zhang Luo played his own position, it was difficult to sign him on a large scale. After all, it was very close to 2010.
The New York Knicks '2010 target was James.
They could only start with small signings and wait until they had established their core position before asking the team to strengthen themselves.
Zhang Luo had a preliminary plan.
The Knicks management had no requirements for the record, but he could not have no requirements for himself.
It was difficult for a team like the Knicks to compete for the championship, but Zhang Luo still wanted to bring the Knicks into the playoffs first.
It was not as difficult for the Eastern Conference to enter the playoffs as it was for the Western Conference.
Getting 40 wins was not a difficult goal.
Recruit?
Which players were good and cheap?
Lying on the bed, Zhang Luo fell asleep.
On the second and third day, Zhang Luo accompanied his parents to travel to various scenic spots in New York.
Zhang Luo's parents were very happy that Zhang Luo was traded to New York after being selected as the third pick.
Playing in New York was much better than playing in other small cities.
Father Zhang often reminded Zhang Luo," Ah Luo, you can't be arrogant now. You have to be humble. Your mother and I aren't the only ones watching you play now. There are also the people of the country. Now that the draft is over, you have to devote yourself to preparing for the Olympics. Don't be lazy. You can't let the national team lose face in this kind of competition."”
Father Zhang's various patriotic education theories were set in stone, and Zhang Luo nodded in agreement.
In front of his father, he was not that arrogant.
Auntie Zhang reminded him," You don't have to be beautiful to find a girlfriend, but you have to be virtuous and take care of the family. As for nationality and skin color, your father and I don't care. It's good that the two of you can communicate."”
Zhang Luo nodded.
They could ditch and pass!
Although his parents were long-winded, they had good intentions. Zhang Luo might not listen to them completely, but he would still take care of their feelings.
After two days of sightseeing with the two old men, Zhang Luo saw them off on the plane back home.
Zhang Luo was still in New York. He had a lot of things to do.
