After the crazy three months, the trial training for each team was over. Of course, as five-star high school students, Kobe and Ye Qiu were also among the rookies. After two years of training and competition, their progress was visible to the naked eye.
New York, a super big city in America.
Ye Qiu remembered that the last time he came to New York, he and Kobe Bryant came here to play with Shammgod. Then, in the commoner district of New York, Ye Qiu witnessed the breakthrough skill "Shammgod" appear.
After nearly two years, when Ye Qiu returned to the Big Apple, he was already a member of the most famous draft in NBA history.
June 26th, 1996 was destined to be remembered in history.
Just as Michael Jordan was at the peak of his career and was about to start his second dynasty, a group of energetic young players stepped onto the NBA stage with their youthful steps.
The four shooting guards and the four center forwards would take over the authority from the previous generation and establish a new order. The sharks would go west, the throne would change, and if the stone Buddha did not appear, who would be able to compete?
There were many prodigies and international players entering the NBA. Who could lead the way?
It was well known that after the introduction of the lottery rules and the Little Green House in the Beast Chess League, the general managers and media of all the teams in the league would fairly and objectively select 15 candidates for the Little Green House every year.
Therefore, as the CEO of the NBA, Ye Qiu, who was the cornerstone of the cross-sea bridge, was naturally a member of the Green House!
As a member of the Little Green House, every candidate could shake hands with the short president before the meeting began. Stern would also send his " blessings " to the candidates.
However, it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or poison. It had to be said that when it was Ye Qiu's turn, Ye Qiu felt that this big shot was looking at him twice.
"Ye Qiu, nice to meet you." Moreover, this cunning old man must have practiced his pronunciation because Stern didn't say his name," Hello, sir."”
This was the first time Ye Qiu and Stern had met. The short Stern was very friendly and maintained a smile as he shook hands with each rookie.
Then, when he saw Ye Qiu with his own eyes, what was Stern's first impression of Ye Qiu? Handsome? That was impossible. The president who was committed to pushing the NBA to the world was not so shallow.
"You're indeed a good seedling for a superstar.”
Other than being handsome, Ye Qiu's impression on Stern was that he was from China. Just like that, before the start of the talent show, Ye Qiu and the other members of the '96 Little Green House left behind a photo that would be replayed in the future.
At this moment, Ye Qiu, who had always been calm and collected in the competition venue, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air after seeing so many people he had slandered in his previous life.
"Ye, relax!" Little Mamba, who was tightly holding Ye Qiu's left hand, said to Ye Qiu.
In the draft venue, Ye Qiu and Kobe sat next to each other. Beside them was Iverson, who was blocked by a chubby " meatball."
Although it had been some time since the joint trial, Ye Qiu was still very curious as to why Iverson kept feeding him the ball.
The cameras were quickly aimed at Iverson, who was going to pick the top pick tonight.
The chubby " meatball " was Iverson's mother. Ann Iverson kept pointing at her son, Allen Iverson, as if she was afraid that no one would know that Iverson was her son.
In front of the camera, Iverson kissed his wife, who was sitting next to him. His wife was holding their newborn child in her arms. This was really the whole family fighting together.
"Ye, aren't your parents too calm?”
In his previous life, he had always thought that Kobe was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers. However, after getting along with him, Ye Qiu realized that Kobe was just an ordinary person.
Kobe was really nervous. After all, he wasn't even 18 years old yet. In his previous life, he was still a minor in Great China.
Ye Qiu smiled and patted Kobe's shoulder."Because my parents didn't understand English, I told them to just be happy when my name was called.”
Kobe nodded, but he subconsciously tightened his grip on Ye Qiu's left hand. Now, in the draft venue, it wasn't just the little Mamba who was nervous. The general managers of the 29 teams were also nervous.
In 1995, after the Charlotte Grizzlies and the Orlando Raptors joined the NBA, there were already 29 teams in the NBA. As for the owner of the 30th team, he was currently on his way to winning the championship in the last three games. He would wait until he retired! The future is still unknown
