Soon, old man Stern walked onto the stage amidst the boos.
Stern didn't care about the boos. Instead, he put his hand beside his ear and listened to the boos.
The fans booed Stern because every draft pick seemed to be manipulated.
This time was no exception. It seemed like Stern had deliberately rejected Los Angeles and New York and signed the top scorer to Oakland.
The fans saw it as a form of support for the Sonic Sonic's move to a new place and new owner.
Of course, all of this was just speculation.
Seeing Stern with his own eyes, Zhang Jun felt that this old man was much cuter than the bald Xiao Hua.
Compared to Stern, what Xiao Hua did was not human affairs.
Stern created super confrontations and all kinds of city hero players, which were deeply loved by fans.
Xiao Hua, on the other hand, indulged in teamwork, encouraged offense, constantly weakened defense, introduced Spinach, and made the NBA a mess. There was no suspense in the super strong teams playing in two periods.
During Stern's time, there were countless fights on the NBA court. However, during Xiao Hua's time, there were not many players who got into a fight on the court. It was more and more like Kun Kun's basketball.
Basketball was still a sport to fight against men. It was not interesting if everyone was good friends.
In his previous life, Zhang Jun had a bad taste. When he watched the NBA, he liked to watch players fight. Sometimes, he would think, if Durant and Young Master Wei fought, who would win?
No matter who won, Zhang Jun would be very excited to watch. He would actively comment on the news and make a fuss.
On the stage, Stern patted the microphone and gave a welcome speech. After the staff member took out a small card, he stopped talking nonsense!!!
" The first pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Oakland Thunder selected from Arizona State University."
Harden was very nervous. Although he knew that it couldn't be him, he was still looking forward to it!!
"Zhang Jun!"
Harden looked at Zhang Jun with envy.!
The Thunder fans watching this scene in the bars of Orlando City all raised their glasses in celebration!!
"The super center forward has come to us!!!”
"Oh my God, is this true? We are going to rise!"
"Next season, we can directly compete for the championship!!!”
"Zhang, I'll definitely go to the stadium to watch you play next season.”
It wasn't just the men in the bar, but also the elderly and children in Russia. When they saw Stern calling out Zhang Jun's name on TV, they all raised their arms and cheered!!
All the hype had been settled!!!
The Thunder, who had just arrived in Russia for a year, quickly recruited a large number of fans because of this choice.
Zhang Jun's fans were all over the United States, and many fans in Russia liked this big guy.
Not only was Zhang Jun strong in the NCAA, he was also handsome. Among the big guys, Zhang Jun's facial features were considered very good. No matter how old a woman was, she would like Zhang Jun.
The talent show, Thunderclap's house.
Prestige, head coach Brooks, and the other members of the management coaching staff all high-fived in celebration!!
"It's finally done. I turned off my phone, haha!!”Prestige was tired of being asked if Zhang Jun could trade.
The Knicks and the Clippers were playing basketball and wanted to swap their draft picks, but the Thunder refused.
Prestige also turned off his phone and refused to answer all calls!!
The reporters could see the sound of cursing and reprimanding coming from the Clippers 'house and the Knicks' house
Zhang Jun, who was in the little green house, was very excited when he heard his name. However, his expression was calm and he only put on a smile.
Hugging his parents, his agent, and his deskmate, Harden, Zhang Jun strode up to the stage!!!
Kakaka!
Countless reporters began to record everything about Zhang Jun!!
The tallest player in the history of professional basketball had finally entered the NBA!!
Zhang Jun took the hat with Thunderbolt's logo from the staff, put it on, and walked onto the stage.
Zhang Jun didn't know the purpose of this hat in his previous life, but he knew in this life.
First, the hat had the team's logo on it. Wearing this hat meant that the rookie had already become a member of a certain team. It could be understood as a gift to the rookie because the hat would be printed with the year and date of the draft. If the rookie became a superstar in the future, this hat would be the starting point of his dream.
It was also a tradition, but it did not originate from the NBA, but from baseball.
Because the people here loved baseball very much, and after the baseball player won the championship, the team would prepare a baseball cap, so the baseball cap also symbolized the championship in a sense.
The NBA team's habit of wearing a hat after winning the championship was borrowed from baseball. Therefore, putting a hat on a rookie after the draft also had the meaning of advancing to the championship.
The last thing was to increase the sense of ceremony in the draft. In addition to everyone having to dress up, the selected players wearing the corresponding hats would also make the draft more ceremonial. This would also make it easier for the major media to identify which team's rookie the selected player was. After all, most of the players participating in the draft were young people in their early 20s. If there was no obvious characteristic, it was really difficult to distinguish.
He went on stage, lowered his head slightly, and shook Stern's hand.
"Congratulations, young man. I hope you have a great future in the NBA!”Stern said to Zhang Jun.
"Thank you."
The two of them shook hands and took pictures for the media.
" Kakaka!!!!"
Far away in the east, the domestic fans were howling.
"Oh oh, the second top scorer!”
"Zhang Jun's way of entering the NBA is even more domineering than Yao's. He conquered everyone!!”
"Thunderclap will be my home team next season.”
In the previous Western Conference playoffs, Big Yao's injury cast a shadow over the domestic fans.
Today, Zhang Jun joined the Oakland Thunderclap as the top scorer. The fans were paying attention to this team.
On the search engine, the search index for Leiting and Zhang Jun continued to rise.
The fans began to understand that the Thunder was a new team. They had Durant and Westbrook.
Zhang Jun's arrival brought Thunderclap a lot of attention!!
