Chapter 26 The dust has settled, Wang Yan is the top scholar! The excitement is yet to come!

"Wang, do you think I look better in a white shirt or a black shirt?"

Inside the hotel at Madison Square Garden.

Wang Yan and Butler combed their hair like adults and put on handsome suits.

However, Butler was conflicted over the choice between a white shirt or a black shirt.

"Black, I think. I always think that black people don't look good in white shirts."

Wang Yan gave his opinion.

"Then let's wear a white shirt. I still think a white shirt looks more handsome." Butler said as he put on a white shirt.

(“▔□▔)
Wang Yan was speechless: "You didn't listen to me, and you still ask me?"

"Hehe, just treat me as just a chatterbox."

Butler said with a smile: "By the way, Wang, I heard that there will be reporters from China coming to the scene in a while."

"As your good brother, I should at least say hello to them. Is there any special etiquette for greeting people in China?"

Butler is actually a very smart person.

He knew that Wang Yan had a huge amount of traffic.

He has the support of 13 billion people behind him.

As long as he can have a good relationship with Wang Yan, he will have a lot of exposure in the Celestial Empire.

For example, Sean Battier, who played with Yao Ming back then.

An ordinary 3D player can actually get a sneaker endorsement contract.

There are also Hayes, Scola, Brooks beside Yao Ming...

The commercial value of these role players is far higher than that of role players of the same level in the league.

and so.

Butler also wanted to use Wang Yan's influence to establish good relations with the Celestial Empire.

"We Chinese like people who are sensible and speak nicely."

"What counts as speaking nicely?"

"Emmm..." Wang Yan thought for a moment: "For example, if you see someone who is good-looking, you would say that she is really beautiful, and if she is average-looking, you would say that she has a good temperament."

"What about those who are average looking and have bad temperament?"

"You just say that she is tall and has a good figure."

Butler seemed to understand: "If you are not good-looking, have a bad temperament, and are not tall, I will just say that the clothes are nice and you have good taste in clothes."

"Smart!"

Wang Yan smiled and patted Butler on the shoulder: "You are quite good at learning from one example and applying it to other situations!"

6 pm.

Wang Yan and Butler came to Madison Square Garden together.

There are many new stars on the scene!

At the competition, Wang Yan also met many familiar faces.

Finals opponent Kyrie Irving.

Derrick Williams in the Crazy 3 semifinals.

And Kemba Walker, the perennial runner-up in the Big East League...

"Why do all the guys wear white shirts?"

Butler took a closer look at everyone's outfits and muttered to himself, "I should have worn a black shirt earlier..."

Wang Yan has already met with Chinese media professionals Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia.

"Xiao Wang is really a handsome guy. He looks so handsome in that little suit. With his looks and figure, even if he doesn't play basketball, he can definitely be a male model!"

Zhang Weiping was also very familiar with Wang Yan when he met him, giving Wang Yan a very friendly feeling.

"Haha, Coach Zhang, you are so kind to me. You are so energetic. By the way, my friend Jimmy was also here, and he also said hello to the Chinese fans."

Wang Yan waved his hand and Butler ran over happily.

"Jimmy, let me introduce you."

"This is Zhang Weiping, a famous basketball commentator in our country, and this is Yu Jia."

With Wang Yan's introduction, Butler, Zhang Weiping and Yu Jia shook hands one by one.

Just as Butler was looking at the two of them and was about to praise Zhang.

"Hi Jimmy."

Zhang Weiping spoke in English first: "The shirt is very nice, and you have good taste in clothes, haha!"

Chinese fans don’t know why either.

Butler's smile suddenly disappeared.

Wang Yan on the side was covering his mouth and laughing.

.....soon.

The draft is approaching.

Wang Yan entered the small green house, and Butler also walked in angrily.

Butler's draft stock was a little worse, but because of his special relationship with Wang Yan, he still sat next to Wang Yan.

"king!"

Just as Wang Yan took his seat, a voice came from the round table next to him.

Irving, the second favorite for the No. 1 pick in the draft, sat next to Wang Yan and Butler.

“We meet again at the top!”

Irving raised his youthful and handsome face and smiled at Wang Yan, "I heard that you also tried out for the Cavaliers, so who do you think will be the No. 1 pick among us?"

Although Wang Yan's dominance in college was off the charts.

But a draft doesn't necessarily mean picking the strongest one.

It depends on what kind of players the team needs.

Irving felt that it was not impossible for him to defeat Wang Yan in the draft.

"Then you might fall from the top again."

Wang Yan also responded to Owen with a smile.

Both young men are looking forward to their future journey in the NBA.

.........

Between Wang Yan and Owen, who will fall at the top?

this problem.

Actually, there is no controversy.

In the Cavaliers' backstage room.

They had already written the name of the top candidate and put it in the envelope.

"Are you really not going to even look at the offers from other teams?"

Just now, the Cavaliers' general manager Chris Grant ordered that all offers regarding Wang Yan be rejected.

"I've said this many times."

Chris Grant's expression was particularly firm: "No one can shake our dedication to Wang Yan."

"I'm just a little curious about what chips they will bring out..."

"It would be interesting if Miami took out LeBron."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them laughed.

We went through a lot of trouble to get James last year.

But the result was a big mess in the finals.

If the Heat really put James on the shelf in exchange for Wang Yan.

Return to the factory for return...

If the Heat really did that.

Chris Grant has reason to believe.

This would be the biggest joke in NBA history!

"I don't want to see what Wang Yan's trading value is now."

After putting away his smile, Chris Grant came back to reality: "The selection and handling of the third pick is our current problem."

. . . .

7pm US time.

The familiar figure of David Stern appeared on the stage.

As soon as he appeared, the restless sounds in the small green house suddenly stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Madison Square Garden on this exciting day to witness the birth of this great moment..."

The lines have remained the same for decades, but they carry the same passion as always.

"The first team to choose is the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have the No. 5 pick. They have five minutes to choose."

Before the countdown started, the staff handed an envelope to the front of the stage.

After opening the envelope, Stern showed satisfaction on his face, and then calmly read out the result:
"In the 2011 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Wang Yan with the first pick in the first round."

"A 2 meter tall forward from China, from Marquette University!"

…………

(Don’t worry, the excitement is yet to come. Guess who Wang Yan’s teammates will be?)
