king of defenders

Chapter 340
On June 6, the 26 NBA Draft was held in New York, USA.

Every year, the NBA draft is a grand event that attracts many fans and celebrities to participate. The draft conference even sells tickets like the NBA games, and there are many grades, the lowest is 20 US dollars a ticket.The closer you are to the stage, the more expensive the tickets will be, even reaching thousands of dollars each.

Of course, no tickets are required for draft players.

For example, Meng Yun, he does not need a ticket, because he is a player in the draft and one of the players who entered the "Little Green Room".

"Little Green Room" is a special term in the American sports draft.

In the NBA draft, the players who are officially invited by the NBA to enter the "draft small green room" are generally selected through the vote of the general manager of the NBA team, and finally decided by the vice president of the league, Stu Jackson.Most of those who can enter the "Little Green House" will be selected in the lottery area, and they are all elites among rookies.

A total of 20 players entered the "Little Green Room" this year, namely Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo-Russell, Jahlil-Okafor, Kristaps-Porzingis, Justice Winslow, Emmanuel Mudiay, Stanley Johnson, Devin Booker, Willie Cauley-Stein, Frank Kaminsky, Meng Yun, Trey - Lyles, Myles Turner, Carmelo Perot, Kelly Oubre, Bobby Portis, Jerian Grant, Sam Decker, Rhoda Hollis -Jefferson, Kevin Looney.

Players entering the "Little Green Room" are different from other draft players. The NBA itself is a place with distinct classes, such as the "lotto area", "first round" and "second round", which is itself a division.

"It's very lively." Meng Yun looked around and said with a smile.

It was indeed very lively. Many people had already arrived before the draft started.

There are many celebrities in the crowd, entertainment stars, sports stars, business leaders, and some NBA stars also came.Meng Yun saw Wade in it, and Wade also saw Meng Yun. He walked over and hugged Meng Yun, and said, "From today onwards, you will become an NBA player. Meng, welcome."

"Thank you." Meng Yun thanked, and couldn't help being a little excited.

This is the NBA, I am only one step away from the NBA.

Later, Meng Yun saw many acquaintances, Karl-Anthony Towns, Joseph Young, Darren Hillard, Jarrell Martin, and Davidson College teammates, good friend Evan
Joseph Young ran over and greeted Meng Yun warmly.

This guy seems to have forgotten about being beaten by Meng Yun in the Heat training camp. Even if Meng Yun's expression was calm, he didn't care. His face was full of smiles, revealing a row of white teeth, which was very eye-catching.

"This is your little brother?" Watching Joseph Young leave, Evan joked with a smile.

"I'm not familiar with him." Meng Yun shook his head quickly, the devil knows what is the structure of Joseph Young's brain circuit, does he have a habit of being abused?
As for the possibility of being overwhelmed by his domineering aura, Meng Yun didn't think about it at all. He didn't want to be a "king-eight" and didn't need that kind of arrogance.

Evan chuckled, and said hello to Bill Duffy, Guo Hai, and Guo Shuyao, and then said with a smile: "I saw your name entered the list of 'Little Green House', congratulations."

"Thank you." Meng Yun said with a smile: "I read the latest draft predictions announced by ESPN. Captain, you are ranked 29th in the first round. Congratulations."

Evan smiled happily.

There are quite a few websites and media that predict the draft pick, and even some gaming companies have offered odds, but the most recognized one is ESPN's predicted ranking, which is quite convincing.

In the ESPN rankings, Evan is ranked 29th in the first round, which is a very good ranking.And Meng Yun was ranked 10th in the first round. Obviously, ESPN believes that Meng Yun will be selected by the Heat.

After chatting with Evan for a while, the two parties separated, and Meng Yun sat down with Bill Duffy, Guo Hai, and Guo Shuyao.

A group of reporters held their cameras and gave Meng Yun a "click".

Meng Yun was already immune to flashing lights, but Guo Hai and Guo Shuyao seemed a little nervous, especially Guo Shuyao, many people stared at her, and she blushed.

Today Guo Shuyao seriously dressed up, her hair was loose on her shoulders, she was wearing a black evening dress, high heels, and a little light makeup. She was already beautiful, but now she looked even more charming and eye-catching.

In fact, Meng Yun was also well-dressed by Guo Shuyao, white shirt, suit, tie, trousers, leather shoes, and Guo Shuyao even asked him to make a hairstyle.Meng Yun was unwilling at first, but when he was selected, he would have to wear the baseball cap of the team he belonged to. Wouldn't it be covered up if he had a hairstyle?
But Guo Shuyao insisted on this, saying that this is an important moment in his life, no less than getting married, it cannot be sloppy, it must have a sense of ceremony.

Meng Yun couldn't argue, so he could only let Guo Shuyao toss about it, but after tidying up, looking at himself in the mirror as if he was a different person, Meng Yun really felt that there was such a sense of ceremony, a bit like getting married.Looking at Guo Shuyao, who was also carefully dressed beside her, Meng Yun was suddenly curious, what would Sister Shuyao look like in a wedding dress?
"click"

Suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out.

Moments later, the lights came back on, but only to the stage, and a group of dancers came out, just as the show time before the NBA Draft began.

The performance was very contagious. Meng Yun watched it with gusto. He turned to look at Guo Shuyao beside him.

After the performance was over, NBA president Adam Silva stepped onto the stage, made an impassioned speech, and then paused for a while before saying: "The first pick in the first round of this NBA draft is the Minnesota Timberwolves. team, they chose Karl-Anthony Towns from the University of Kentucky."

There was thunderous applause for a while, and the lights and cameras were on Downs at the same time. He stood up, hugged his relatives and friends, and then walked onto the stage.

"Sure enough." Meng Yun smiled, not surprised.

There is basically no suspense that the No. [-] pick is Karl-Anthony Towns. Whether it is ESPN's draft predictions or opinions on the Internet, it is believed that the Timberwolves will definitely choose Towns.

Towns does have such strength and talent. Although he averaged only a dozen points per game at the University of Kentucky and lost to Meng Yun in the final NCAA semifinals, his talent is outstanding, there is no doubt about it.

Moreover, after the Timberwolves have Andrew Wiggins, Zach LaVine, and Rubio, their 1-3 positions are no longer lacking, but there is one less insider.

And Downs is exactly the person they need.

On the stage, Towns put on a baseball cap with the Timberwolves logo, gave a speech, and then gave the stage to Adam Silva to announce the next one.
