"Although wish is not the first pick, he is the player who has made the president wait the longest time!"

Wei Xia hugged and greeted her family more than other rookies. When he turned around and walked onto the stage, tears at the corners of his eyes had been wiped dry, and he shook hands with David Stern with a smile.

"I have no intention of criticizing the choice of the top five teams. It is understandable for the Bucks to choose the Australians. Why did the Hawks give up Visa?" Stephen A. Smith wanted to ask the Hawks' management for 100,000 why. "Visa faced Marvin head-on in the national championship game. He used that game to completely prove his strength."

His partner Dick Vitale joked: "Maybe they believe Marvin's limit is really the sky."

It sounds like talking to the eagle, but the biggest magic of sarcastic sour words is that the more you listen, the more you become, the more you feel, the stranger you become.

"I'm very worried about Visa now. In my eyes, he is the best player in this draft. I saw the pride and style of the older generation of players in him, but he is going to Portland?" Smith shook his head repeatedly, "I hope everything goes well for him."

Perhaps it was because Weisha made Stern wait for too long and shook hands and hugged each other, the President was not as enthusiastic as it seemed on the surface.

No, even the smile that was struggling to pile up looked like a fake smile.

Wei Xia went on stage in a dark black suit and a baseball cap with the Trail Blazers logo, and then stepped down. ESPN's famous reporter David Aldridge is ready for the interview.

Wei Xia sat in the seat arranged by espn.

Aldridge first asked: "Wish, congratulations on your choice. How do you feel now?"

"Like dreaming." Wei Xia, who was emotionally stable, looked not just dreaming, but lucid dreaming.

Aldridge has interviewed countless rookies, and he has seen any style. For those rookies who are calm and gentle, he will lay a small trap to see if they can deal with it: "What do you think of Portland and the Trail Blazers?"

Before participating in the draft, Weisha specially asked her family to book espn's classic channel to watch past drafts.

He found that the selected people, whether they are proving to be good people or bastards in the future, were humble, cautious and gentle at the draft.

Danny Manning said after being selected by the Clippers in 1989: "What I did in college is OK in the NBA."

As a result, his rookie season was mostly only able to dream on the injury list. After spending a few failed seasons, he was sent to Phoenix to realize his dream by the Clippers.

Michael Olovokandi said in 1998: "I hope the Clippers fans will be proud of me in the future."

His wish has now come true, congratulations to Olo.

Pervis Ellison, the 1989 No. 1 pick, was excited about his upcoming joining the Sacramento Kings: "I swear I will follow Knight Archibald, Oscar Robertson and others and become a great king!"

Most of the Kings fans who see this will ask in confusion: "Who is this guy?"

Good question, I don't know.

Derek Coleman might have wanted to say something like a tribute to his predecessor when he was selected by the Nets in 1990, but the history of the Nets was ruined before, and there was not even a well-known figure. He had to put an impossible flag on himself in advance: "There are many people who think I am not professional enough, and I will prove their mistakes. I will become the best teammate and role model. I will never disappoint you."

If you listen to Coleman's words in the opposite direction, you will feel that he is a big prophet. With the story of his late training being fined by the team and being furious, he took out a check for the team to fill in it himself. You will definitely find that life is not only tragedy, but also black comedy that makes people confused.

Larry Johnson said at the 1991 draft that he was ready to do a big fight.

To be precise, it was a big fight between teammates.

He said by name that he was a fight with Alonzo Mornin and wanted to kill the other party.

In Wei Xia's opinion, the most extraordinary demeanor among those people is Kwame Brown.

When the Washington Wizards selected him in 2001, Jordan, who had written the draft, was on the scene and said that the Flying Man was a thing of the past and that Brown would realize the Wizards' ambitions.

Brown himself had a strong super model when he was interviewed: "The so-called superstar is to constantly hone himself in difficulties and failures. I am the same. I am not perfect, but I will polish all imperfections to perfection. This is my goal, and I only aim to be the best."

What an exciting word, who could have expected that his true face was a candid who was strong on the outside but did it?

Combining the above historical allusions, Wei Xia does not want to be a joke in the future, nor does she want to make any promises. His answer is: "To be honest, I don't know the Trail Blazers, because I am a Philadelphia native, CBS does not broadcast their games live, and I don't pay attention to them. I know very little about them. Thanks very much for choosing me. This means a lot to me..."

The classic bullshit response made Aldridge one head and two big answers.

At this time, he heard an emergency message from the TV station from his headphones.

His face changed slightly, and it didn't look very obvious. He believed Wei Xia didn't see it at all.

"I just got the news that your signing rights will be used by the Trail Blazers for a deal. Will this affect you?" Aldridge's words made Wei Xia feel very grateful.

If he had been very excited about his choice for the Trail Blazers before, he had been a lie like Trail Blazers fans since he was a child, and he would swear that he would be as plagued with injuries like all the Trail Blazers seniors... Now, it would be so embarrassing that the Trail Blazers might trade him?

"I thought Patrick Ewing would never be traded by the Knicks, and I thought Michael Jordan would not wear other team jerseys, and I firmly believe that Hakeem Olajuwon's career was the most in Houston from beginning to end... Compared to them, I am just an unknown person. If even they can't be sure how their career began and ended, I can't." Wei Xia's words were different from the bullshit before. This response was smooth and informative, modest and cautious, and he didn't say inappropriate words, "But I believe that no matter what the result is, it is the best arrangement."

Aldridge smiled and nodded: "Okay, congratulations again on coming to NBA, this is a completely different world!"

Wei Xia had to deal with interviews with ESPN as soon as possible after accepting interviews with reporters from all over the world and countries.

The foreign media that impressed Wei Xia was from China.

Not only because they have the same complexion and appearance as him, but also because of their problems, it is so memorable.

Everyone asked about his views on the NBA, his feelings about the draft and his future prospects, but the Chinese media had a different style. They asked: "In order to prepare for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese Basketball Association launched an overseas talent return plan. As far as I know, your father is a Chinese American. According to the policy, you are fully qualified to return. If you have the chance, will you play for the Chinese team?"

Although Wei Xia was not born by Wei Mingliang, he did not feel that he was different from his elder brother and sister since he was a child.

His parents regarded him as his own, and he never thought about his biological father and mother. When they chose to abandon him, this cause and effect should be settled. Although Wei Mingliang is a Chinese American, he is very interested in Chinese culture. He went to Chinese students to learn Chinese and made up for Chinese history, and allowed Wei Xia to master two languages ​​since he was a child.

The China that Wei Xia knew was a China that was demonized by the American media.

The people there are not full food, don’t wear warm clothes, the environment is harsh, and the poisonous vegetables are tyrannical, and even the air can smell the unfree atmosphere. It sounds like a place where humans live.

Wei Mingliang has been to China. He believes that although China is behind the United States, it is definitely not what the American media advocates. Influenced by his father, Wei Xia does not have a bad feeling for China, and even has a good impression of it.

But when he heard such a sudden question, he didn't know how to answer it.

Wei Xia, who was empty-headed, replied: "It's possible." (Chinese)

The vague answer is not the key, the key is that Wei Xia can speak Chinese, and it is not internationally common Chinese such as Nishou, Crab, Sac (***), and Taiwa Nanbowan. Instead, it is impossible to learn the "possible" that cannot be heard from foreigners.

When the presumptuous Chinese journalists asked questions, not only Wei Xia felt that he was impolite, but even the Chinese fans who were following the draft scolded his mother.

And when Wei Xia said the Chinese sentence to the live broadcast, Chinese fans were full of thoughts.

If you are just a yellow-skinned banana person who has no sense of identity with China, even if you are naturalized, you will only be a yellow-skinned foreign aid, not your own.

Chinese who grow up abroad and can speak Chinese are worth fighting for.

Wei Xia spent a lot of time dealing with media interviews.

He is not a very talkative rookie. Although he is recognized as the best college player in the United States, his topic has faded long before the draft began.

Soon the media became less interested in him.

Wei Xia sat in her position and suddenly received a call from Dan Feigan.

"You don't have to go to Portland!"

"Then where am I going?" Wei Xia asked, "I'm traded?"

"Yes, Portland trades your draft pick, you're going to Los Angeles!" Feigan said excitedly.

Wei Xia asked tentatively: "Clippers?"

"No, it's not the Clippers, it's the Lakers! The Lakers have bleed heavily in a multi-party competition and won your draft pick. You are already a Lakers!"

Wei Xia silently took off the baseball cap on his head, which had the Trail Blazers' team logo on it.

Although I don't know what happened, it should be certain that I was traded to the Lakers.

what does that mean?

He is involved in a team that is more complicated than the New York Knicks, and he will be teammates with Kobe. He is the highest-ranking Lakers rookie after James Worthy in 1982. The spotlight and magnifying glass of Los Angeles will fall on him at the same time. If he doesn't play well, that day...he.

"Everyone, please come with me if the media interview is over. We will take makeup photos and take photos." The staff at the scene said very politely.

"Please ask..." Wei Xia called the staff, "Please change me to a Lakers hat. I was unfortunately traded. It's really sad that I can't go to Portland."

There is no need to go to the prison team to go to jail. Thinking of this, the Lakers' potential troubles were completely wiped out by him, and he felt as comfortable as the moment he had reached great harmony in his ex-girlfriend Lara Darby for the first time.
