Chapter 45: Draft

　　.
　　 After finalizing the agent, Qin Xiong immediately returned to the United States and signed up for the 2003 NBA Draft.
　　 Although many people have guessed that Qin Xiong will participate in this year's NBA draft, when the NBA officially released the news, the entire league was shocked.
　　 There are countless media reports that Qin Xiong is about to participate in the draft. Some are spontaneous, while others are secretly promoted by Schwartz.
　　 In short, the momentum is built!
　　Many media are reporting on Qin Xiong, choosing a template for Qin Xiong, but unfortunately, the NBA does not seem to have Qin Xiong's template, which is a bit sad...
　　 There is a reason why Qin Xiong does not have a template!
　　His playing style is incompatible with the way the NBA wins by hand-to-hand combat. He rarely goes deep inside, but can dominate the game with three-pointers.
　　 There has never been such a player in NBA history.
　　 Therefore, many media that are not too big of a problem gave Qin Xiongan a nondescript template-the lower limit is Lei Allen, and the upper limit is the enhanced version of Reggie Miller.
　　 Such a statement quickly spread in the American media circles, causing Qin Xiong to offend the two bigwigs before entering the NBA.
　　 Goddamn media!
　　 Seriously, in fact, the American media are not willing to praise Qin Xiong, but they can't ignore Qin Xiong's existence. After all, they defeated Syracuse University led by NCAA Jordan in the semi-finals of the NCAA Championship, and scored much higher than NCAA Jordan.
　　 They can't open their eyes and talk nonsense, right? After all, this is what happened on American soil!
　　 Therefore, they can't belittle Qin Xiong, so they hold Qin Xiong to death, hold Qin Xiong high, and then pull Qin Xiong down again when they have a chance. This set of methods is very easy for the media people to play, and it has a nice name-to kill!
There are also some media who have taken a different path. They all admit that Qin Xiong's offensive is very good, but the defensive ability has not been verified-it is true that there is no outstanding second position against Qin Xiong in the NCAA Championship this season, all of them are against Qin Xiong Without exception, Qin Xiong's second position was blown up!
　　The only Marquette shooting guard Dwyane Wade who could pose a threat to Qin Xiong was eliminated by the University of Kansas in the semifinals!
　　 Therefore, Qin Xiong's defensive ability has not been tested so far.
　　 Isn't the media's statement unreasonable, Qin Xiong laughed after reading the media report, even if the whole world said that? Anyway, things are over, can you turn the game upside down?

　　 After returning to the United States, Qin Xiong began arduous training, mainly for weight gain training. At present, he only has 82kg, which is nothing in the NCAA arena. He has to finish playing in the NBA.
　　 Everyone can kill him in a collision!
　　Schwarz, this agent is not just eating dry food. After returning to the United States, he first recruited a trainer for Qin Xiong to guide Qin Xiong's training every day. He paid for it first.
　　Although Qin Xiong did not lack the money, Schwartz was willing to do so and Qin Xiong did not stop it. This was a means by Schwartz, and Qin Xiong did not need to refuse.
　　 In a blink of an eye, one month later, Qin Xiong successfully gained 3kg, and his whole body looked much stronger.
　　 On May 22, the NBA lottery ceremony was held in Madison Square Garden, New York. The Cleveland Cavaliers, the deputy squad leader who ranked first in the regular season record, successfully won the No. 1 pick.
The whole Cleveland is boiling, because they can choose the super genius at will, whether it is the famous LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony in high school, or Qin Xiong, who is so popular in recent months, as long as they If you are willing, you can definitely win.
　　 The Grizzlies, who were sixth from the bottom in the regular season, got the second pick, which made the entire league feel uneasy, and the Grizzlies management also felt embarrassed. Because the first round of the Grizzlies this season has been exchanged to the Pistons with Thorpe's trade six years ago.
　　 In other words, the No. 1 Pistons in the East this season won the second pick, which makes many teams in the league feel uneasy. Because no matter James, Anthony, or Qin Xiong have the strength of the No. 1 pick, the Pistons are equivalent to getting a No. 1 pick!
　　 The Pistons management laughed from ear to ear. The Grizzlies won the second-place pick from the bottom six this season. I don’t know if the Grizzlies are too unlucky or the Pistons are too lucky!
　　 In short, David Stern, the president of the league, has a bad face.
　　 Except for the Grizzlies, who jumped in, the other picks and regular season rankings have not changed much.
　　 The Nuggets got the pick, and the Raptors got the No. 4 pick. The Clippers and Heat adjusted their positions, the Heat's No. 5 pick, the Clippers No. 6 pick, and the Bulls No. 7 pick...
　　 The NBA playoffs are in full swing. This season, many people want to see the Lakers open up new realms after the Bulls’ dynasty, such as four consecutive championships.
　　 But everyone was disappointed.
　　The Lakers were eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, and their dream of four consecutive championships was shattered. Bryant suffered a knee injury, O'Neal was struggling to survive, and the Spurs eliminated the Lakers to advance to the Finals.
After Qin Xiong watched all the games after 　　, the Spurs GDP headed by Duncan defeated Kidd's Nets and successfully won the championship.
　　 During this period, Qin Xiong was training. Although many teams invited him to try out, he and his agent Schwartz didn't care about it.
　　 Just kidding, as a super genius who beat NCAA Jordan, does he still need to try out?
　　 Well, in fact, the trial training is not impossible, but Schwartz suggested that Qin Xiong not go and keep the door closed. Anyway, the impression he gave to people was the brilliant Jack at Staples Arena, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, the omnipotent super jack.
　　Even if Qin Xiong does not go to the trial, the NBA teams with the top signings dare not take it lightly, because Qin Xiong has already proven himself!
　　 In contrast, Qin Xiong’s teammate Kyle Korver, although this guy is handsome, but the NBA team does not sell his face, he has to honestly go to trial training.
　　 But because he is the main player of the championship team, his treatment is much better than that of ordinary players. It saves a lot of unnecessary expenses and can get enough rest time...
　　 On the morning of June 27th, the 2003 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden, home of the Knicks.
This draft is considered to be the most high-quality draft year in recent years. Many players already have the model of superstars. For example, LeBron James, who has appeared in "Slam Dunk", "ESPN" and other magazines several times, has "NCAA Jordan". Known as Carmelo Anthony, super shooter and perimeter master Jack.
　　 There are also some high-quality players such as Chris Bosh, Chris Kaman, and Dwyane Wade who is not yet recognized by people...
　　 Qin Xiong was invited to enter the small green room of the draft, and his parents also came from abroad to accompany him at this critical moment. In addition to his parents, his table also includes agent Jeff Schwartz, Blue Jays coach McDermott and Korver who was invited by Qin Xiong to mix in.
　　 Korver was originally not eligible to enter the small green house, but Qin Xiong has come in, will he make his team's big brother wait outside?
　　 Although the draft scene is called a small green house, it is not small in size. A dozen tables are more than enough. In addition, a large number of reporters in the small green house take cameras and cameras to take pictures of the players' every move.
　　 In short, the scene looks high-end and high-end.
