Sports medicine starts with the Sun Miracle Doctor

Chapter 264 Let the Lakers regret going
China, June 6, early in the morning, before six o'clock, Yao Ming's family got up early.

"Son, you change into a short-sleeved shirt. I've prepared this one for you a long time ago." Yao Ming's mother brought a short-sleeved shirt.

Yao Ming shook his head quickly: "No, these short-sleeved shirts are required by Nike and cannot be changed."

A white short-sleeved shirt with the Nike logo on the right and two Chinese characters printed on the left.

At this time, Yao Ming's father, agent Bill Duffy, and Yao Ming's cousin-in-law Zhang Mingji came over and said that it was almost time and they could set off.

They will go to the CNN headquarters in the capital to connect with the draft.

Originally, the Eastern Team wanted Yao Ming to return to the Magic City, but they also arranged a full live broadcast.

However, the Basketball Association considered that Yao Ming was preparing for the upcoming Four Nations Invitational Tournament, and at the most critical moment, it did not agree to Yao Ming's return to the Magic City. As for New York, that was even more impossible.

A group of people got into the car.

In the car, Bill Duffy was still on the phone. His company's marketing director, Bill Sanders, who was also a member of Yao Ming's agency team, was in New York looking for news.

In the afternoon in the United States, Scales had already made his attitude clear to reporters.

"Bill, are you sure now?" Zhang Mingji asked.

David Griffin.

The car arrived at CNN headquarters, and the national team coach Wang Fei rushed to the scene at the same time, as did many domestic reporters.

Taking a stand at this time is not pleasing to both sides.

Once this kind of transaction occurs, it will definitely be a blockbuster transaction. No news will be leaked before the transaction occurs.

And today, he was also at the scene, and he also prepared Yao Ming's No. 11 Suns jersey and a hat for the draft.

From any aspect of analysis, the Suns will choose Yao Ming.

Bill Duffy shook his head: "Although Skiles stated his position to reporters that the Suns would only choose Yao, the key to the problem is not here at all, but whether they will make a deal with the Lakers, whether they make a deal or not, They will all choose Yao."

"Yao." Bill Duffy looked at Yao Ming, and then motioned to Zhang Mingji to translate: "Everything is still uncertain now, so you have to be cautious and don't rush to reveal which team you want to go to, because this may make Fans are disappointed and it affects your development in the NBA."

Fortunately, no matter where he ends up, he should be the top pick.

Many reporters had already asked him, but he was also very strict and didn't say anything.

Yao Ming is familiar with Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, Su Yu and others.

He was sent by the Suns to China, responsible for communicating with the Basketball Association and the Eastern Team, and getting through all the people who were blocking Yao Ming's landing in the NBA.

And the eyes of many reporters have been locked on one person.

There was no one from the Lakers at all.

Everyone was whispering to each other, exchanging the information they had obtained, but none of it was accurate.

"I think even if the Suns really want to trade, they probably won't trade at the draft. They may wait until the ball market opens before trading. This is the most appropriate choice." Xu Jicheng said in a low voice.

But if the transaction is really completed, then all the jerseys and other things he prepared will be wasted.

Yao Ming nodded, his expression a little lonely. Since February, for such a long time, he has always wanted to go to the Suns, and he also felt that the Suns were the best for him. He never expected such a change after the Western Conference Finals.

But the key now is whether the deal with the Lakers will be completed after the selection. This is also the question that everyone is most concerned about.

Next to him, Su Yu shook his head: "Whatever is appropriate or not, it doesn't matter when the deal is made. The key is whether the two teams can reach a deal. After all, O'Neal has gone to Phoenix."

The news of O'Neal's appearance at Chen Yu's clinic seemed to solidify his complete break with the Lakers.

Zhang Weiping sighed: "I just talked with Yao Ming, and I can see that he is quite nervous. Alas, this matter is not something we can decide. And if you think about it carefully, no matter where you go, you will be trained as the core of the team. This is enough."

These days, domestic fans have been discussing it for a long time, and in Zhang Weiping's view, no matter who ends up in the end, it is a good choice.

It's better to get past a weak team.

Everyone nodded and waited anxiously.

There will be no news from the United States until after 7:30.

A small, simply decorated office, this is where Yao Ming will witness the draft.

There was no live feed, only the sound of the draft, and David Stern's voice could be heard.

At 7:30, Yao Ming's family of three, as well as the national team coach Wang Fei, and a female reporter from CNN, had entered the office and were waiting for the final result.

Where the camera couldn't capture it, there were still standing the management team and domestic reporters. The door to the office was also open, and the corridor outside was also full of people.

David Griffin was holding his jersey and baseball cap, smiling and standing silently. He still doesn't know what the result will be in Phoenix.

Compared to Yao Ming, who couldn't see the live broadcast, it was much more convenient for Chen Yu because it was broadcast on TV.

However, it was quite late yesterday. When Chen Yu came up in the morning, he was surprised to find that he was sleeping in Ronaldo's room.

Fortunately, this guy was wearing clothes, otherwise, he would have thought something happened between the two of them.

Standing up with a yawn, Chen Yu directly kicked Ronaldo awake, and then turned on the TV.

Ronaldo got up with a confused look on his face, fumbled sleepily to open the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of wine.

"lay down."

Chen Yu's voice came from behind. Ronaldo was startled and suddenly woke up. He turned his head in confusion, rubbed his eyes, and saw clearly that it was Chen Yu. He looked around again and said strangely: "Chen, this is my room. Why are you here?"

"I want to know too." Chen Yu picked up the phone and called the front desk to ask for food.

"Have a drink?" Ronaldo raised the bottle and grinned.

Chen Yu waved his hand and motioned to put it back, while his eyes fell on the TV. Live footage is already available.

Ronaldo put the wine back angrily, looked at the TV, then lay down on the bedside, and asked: "Chen, will you trade the No. 1 pick?"

"I don't know." Chen Yu found his cell phone. There were a lot of text messages, but there was no text message from Brian, and he didn't know what the conversation between Hardaway and O'Neal was like yesterday.

I wanted to call and ask, but thought better of it.

Anyway, we'll find out soon.

Not long after, a white-haired Stern appeared in the camera.

All media cameras were focused on him, trying to capture something from his expression.

But nothing.

When he stood on the podium, faced the camera, and gave a brief speech, the sun also appeared on the electronic screen behind him at the right time.

This proves that the No. 1 pick belongs to the Suns.

"No deal?" Ronaldo asked curiously.

Chen Yu shook his head. This picture was not fixed and could not be changed.

On the TV, Stern paused for about three seconds. Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat and he had a strong feeling that the deal was completed.

Otherwise, Stern would definitely announce the results directly.

Sure enough, the next moment, Stern raised his head and faced the camera: "Before confirming the selection of the No. 02 pick, the Suns sent out the No. pick, plus Hakeem Olajuwon, Tom Gugliotta, Te'Lon Xi. Er, trade for Shaquille O'Neal from the Lakers."

One sentence made the host of the broadcast scream.

There were even clear exclamations and commotion at the scene.

Chen Yu's heart beat rapidly, and the deal was actually completed.

You know, last night, Brian called himself and asked him how to choose.

What happened in these few hours.

Stern's expression remained unchanged as he continued: "In the 2002 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Yao Ming, who comes from the magical capital of China."

At the same time, far away at CNN headquarters.

Yao Ming, as well as everyone present, immediately heard Stern's announcement that the Suns and Lakers had completed the deal.

Shock!

Yao Ming was shocked, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He didn't realize it until Wang Fei and the CNN female reporter on the other side congratulated him.

At this time, Stern had already announced the Lakers' selection.

No accidents, just myself.

Jay Williams, the second favorite, is a guard that the Lakers don't need at all.

The reporters present were all shocked.

"It's really done."

"It was so cruel, even Olajuwon was given."

"Yeah, and there's Gugliotta, Zeng Jin's Wolf King. This is almost like the two teams swapping insiders."

"You can't say that. I feel that the Suns are still making money. Olajuwon is no longer old, and there is Gugliotta. The Suns have long wanted to get rid of his contract. I think O'Neal is definitely the one who wants it. Let’s go, the Lakers have recognized these chips.”

"Don't say so much. I always felt that the Suns had no vision in transactions before, but now it seems that they are quite powerful."

On this side, Yao Ming has been connected to the scene for interviews.

Not far away, David Griffin glanced at the jersey in his hand, sighed, and quietly turned around and left.

In Phoenix, in Chen Yu's clinic.

O'Neal, Jordan, and Hardaway watched the live broadcast together.

The three of them had known about this result in advance and there were no surprises.

But at the moment when he was really sure, O'Neal still said a little weirdly: "Doesn't that mean I want Patrick to attack me?"

He will definitely start at the fifth position, and the only choice for the fourth position is Ewing.

Jordan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes, let that bastard help you and do the dirty work for you."

When this guy won the championship, he actually dared to sneer in front of him.

Hardaway smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Ewing is one year older than Olajuwon. Now that Gugliotta and Te'lon Hill have been sent away, there is really no one at the fourth position.

Compared to Olajuwon, Ewing even wanted to retire where he was.

Then next season, the Suns' fourth position will become a big problem.

However, Hardaway cannot control this issue and needs the management to worry about it. He feels that Bryan should still be traded.

At this time, on the TV, in the studio of TNT TV station, which had already won the TV broadcast rights, Barkley was spitting and slamming the table, defending his good brother, saying that the Lakers would regret sending away O'Neal.

O'Neal hummed in satisfaction, yes, let the Lakers regret it.
