June 25, 1997, Charlotte Stadium, North Caroline.
"In the first round of the 1997 NBA, the San Antonio Spurs selected Tim Duncan from Wake Forest University!”
This was a choice without any suspense!
In the 1996-1997 season, almost half of the league had lost to this big man. In the end, they could only watch San Antonio take the power forward, who was destined to become a superstar, with the best luck.
After the great event of the century the year before, for many general managers, after Duncan was selected, this year's draft was already over.
The people who came after, whether it was Kees Van Horn or Chauncey Billups, were not very optimistic. Some experts even asserted," Other than Duncan, no one else entered the lottery in 1996!
The second pick was Van Horn, the third pick was Billups, and the fourth pick was Antonio McDyess.
They failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the Charlotte fans.
After all, these players were neither super geniuses nor Charlotte natives, so they naturally could not attract the cheers of the fans.
Many fans were even wearing the jerseys of Vincent Carter and Antoine Jamison.
They really hoped that these two super geniuses from the University of North Columbia could participate in this year's talent show!
The fans who were bored had the greatest pleasure in booing David Stern. Every time the president walked onto the rostrum, the fans would boos to ease the boredom.
Amidst the faint boos from the fans at the draft, there were three people who were different in the area where the draft players belonged.
Because of their skin color.
It was yellow!
She was somewhat out of place with the group of black and white people around her.
There were two men and a woman. Two of the middle-aged men looked like they had good manners and family background. They wore branded clothes and smiled. They kept talking to the young man between the two of them.
The man in the middle was called Lin Long. Unlike the two middle-aged men, he was as strong as a rhinoceros. Even in the NBA draft, no one could compete with him in terms of body size other than Duncan.
He was 205cm tall, weighed 100kg, and had an arm span of 224cm. He was a freshman at UCLA University in Los Angeles and one of the popular rookies in this year's draft.
In Lin Long's freshman year at UCLA, although the team had some setbacks, they successfully made it to March Madness and even defeated the University of Kentucky77 - 76 in the finals.
Lin Long had scored 17 points, 12 rebounded, and four blocked shots in the finals. More importantly, he had grabbed an offensive rebound at the last minute and hit the ball, killing Kent. He had won this year's MOP award!
This was the first time an Asian had been able to stand on the highest stage of the NCAA, make an important contribution, and even become the final mop!
Of course, many people in the industry believed that Lin Long was just a pure blue-collar player who could shoot and pass, but that was all. He was not even the strongest player on the two teams.
But no matter what, Lin Long, who was originally unknown and difficult to find in the NBA rookie rankings and predictions of various media or television programs, suddenly became a rookie with first-round prospects.
Lin Long naturally wouldn't give up on this opportunity. He decisively chose to participate in the draft and fight for his NBA dream!
Because Linlong had another secret.
He was a transmigrator!
In his previous life, although Lin Long loved basketball and sports, his talent was average, his height was average, and his physical fitness was average. He could only play basketball.
However, as a point guard in his previous life, he had a very good vision and a good view of the big picture. It was precisely because of this advantage that he had gained some fame and money in his previous life.
Linlong's soul suddenly took over his current body two years ago.
He had inherited all of his original memories and emotions. He still loved basketball, and his talent was several times higher than in his previous life. He also lived in a very wealthy family.
Therefore, from the first day he arrived, he was determined to fight for his dream.
As a transmigrator, Lin Long was bound to a system called " Basketball Super Achievement "!
At the same time, the system issued an initial mission: They entered the top four of the NCAA.
The system could only be activated after the initial mission was completed! He also gave out a novice gift bag.
Therefore, Lin Long begged his parents to send him to high school in the United States and joined UCLA a year later!
Lin Long still remembered the voice that suddenly sounded in his head when he beat Kentuckia with a rebound shot three months ago.
"Ding, the host has completed the initial mission and entered the top four of the NCAA. He has also won the championship and the MOP. He has completed the hidden mission and received the highest-end novice gift bag!”
