NBA's Super Troublemaker

Chapter 20 Hansen Lee to Participate in the Draft?!

[System 1v1 progress increased to 100%, 1 1v1 challenge gained!]

Li He, who was celebrating in the locker room, suddenly saw this message and became even more excited.

really!

After winning the NCAA championship and being crowned MOP, the system's progress increased by nearly 50%!

This ensures that Li He can find a second template during this period and become stronger.

Klay Thompson's player model is indeed strong enough, representing the pinnacle of 3D players, but for Li He, it's far from sufficient.

He doesn't just want to be a top 3D player.

"Who should I challenge next?"

"Players who have retired or not entered the league can still make up for their shortcomings as much as possible."

Li He pondered quietly, but found himself without any clues. Coach Lute Olsen, standing nearby, then spoke up:

"Hansen, get ready, there's a post-match interview coming up!"

"You're going to be a sensation across America!"

Lute Olsen initially wanted to remind Li He to watch his words, but then he thought that when a genius expresses his views, it is not the genius's fault that ordinary people cannot understand them.

In the eyes of a superstar who scored 52 points and hit 12 three-pointers in a single NCAA final game.

Players like Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and TJ Ford are just "okay."

It's already very polite of them not to use any other words, okay?

The reporters were already anxiously waiting; Li He's outstanding performance had given them a lot of questions to ask.

When Coach Lute Olsen and Li He arrived at the scene, the reporters immediately became excited.

"Hansen!"

"Hansen is here!"

Seeing this, Coach Lute Olsen knew that the interviewee was definitely Hansen Lee, so he didn't go into too much detail. He simply gave a symbolic summary of the match and focused all his attention on Li He.

The CBS reporter immediately posed a pointed question:

"Hansen, we're all curious to know, after this game, will you continue your college career, or will you choose to enter this year's draft?"

To be honest, this is already the most talked-about topic among fans across the United States.

Radical fans argue that although Hansen Lee has only played 3 games, his performance makes him a worthy candidate for this year's draft, and he could even get a good draft pick. They believe he should go to the NBA and make a name for himself.

Conservative fans, on the other hand, believe that Hansen Lee could play another year in the NCAA to provide more game experience and credibility, making him a contender for the number one pick in next year's draft.

Given the quality of the 2003 draft class, Hansen Lee's draft position wouldn't have been very high.

There are just too many geniuses in this year's class.

Whichever team gets the number one pick, they will choose LeBron James without hesitation.

Players like Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade will not see a significant drop in their draft rankings due to losses in NCAA games.

Their performance throughout the year of competition has been convincing enough.

Numerous cameras were pointed at Li He, as reporters and fans alike eagerly awaited his answer.

After pondering for a moment, Li He also expressed his thoughts:

"Of course, I will choose to participate in this year's draft to take on a greater challenge."

Li He felt there was no need for him to stay in the NCAA any longer.

Good NBA teams are no worse than NCAA teams, so go play in the NBA.

Of course, the Pistons are an exception.

According to Li He's guess, his draft pick should not be higher than Carmelo Anthony's.

After all, Anthony was already a well-known figure. He was the number one high school player in the country during his high school years, and his performance throughout his freshman year of college was very strong. His performance in the NCAA finals was not perfect, but it was not bad either.

This way, we can perfectly avoid the Pistons.

As for which team I join, that depends on fate.

Wow.

Splash.

These words were like a bombshell.

This Chinese player, who had a miraculous performance in the NCAA, is going to participate in this year's NBA draft!

This made the 2003 draft even more intense!

The post-match interviews ended quickly.

Li He's decision to participate in the draft is bound to cause a sensation among fans and the media.

Coach Lute Olsen expressed respect for Li He's choice. It makes sense; for a player who scored 52 points in a single game in the NCAA finals, continuing to play in the NCAA would be a waste of his youth.

However, players like Iguodala, Luke Walton, and Channing Frye were utterly astonished when they heard that Li He wanted to participate in a talent show.

Iguodala hugged Li He and said, "Brother! You're going to play in the NBA! Congratulations!"

Luke Walton, somewhat annoyed, said, "Damn it, I never expected to be drafted in the same year as you. My draft position is going to drop another spot!"

Channing Frye sighed, "Hansen, who am I supposed to pass to after I get a rebound?!"

Li He embraced and greeted his teammates, smiling as he said:

"See you in the NBA, guys!"

These words stirred the hearts of the other three.

"good!"

……

The next day.

News of the NCAA final immediately made the front page of major news outlets.

This year's finals saw so many eye-catching events, with all sorts of flashy headlines standing out.

[China's rising star scores a whopping 52 points in the finals, including 12 dazzling three-pointers!]

[He brutally beat Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony, proving with his performance that he truly deserves the MOP title!]

[Hanson Lee announces his participation in this year's NBA draft; he could be the biggest dark horse!]

[It is reported that several teams have expressed great interest in Hansen Lee!]

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hanson Lee will almost certainly be selected in the top 10!

【…】

At this moment, Li He had just returned to the University of Arizona with the team and was immediately greeted by a warm welcome from his fellow alumni.

Without a doubt, Li He deserves the most credit for the Arizona Wildcats' championship victory.

Especially from the quarterfinals onwards, he was carrying the team entirely on his own.

This also made many students remember the name Hansen Lee.

He's the Wildcats' god!

In addition, Li He was tall and handsome, and many female classmates couldn't suppress their excitement and openly flirted with him.

Various notes, envelopes, and love letters were stuffed into Li He's bag, which was almost overflowing, but he still tried his best to remember everyone's face.

With so many choices, you'll definitely pick the prettiest one.

Back in his dorm, Li He leisurely unfolded the small note, finding the explicit and implicit hints on it extremely amusing.

"Hanson Lee, I've remembered you ever since the first day you joined the school team. When I learned you were going to be drafted, I knew the distance between us had grown even greater, so I mustered up the courage to write you this letter to express my feelings. I've liked you for a long time."

You little green tea bitch, your handwriting is quite good. I joined the school team last year, why didn't you confess earlier or later, and now you're saying it? Go away.

"Hanson Lee, I'd like to learn how to play basketball too. Could you teach me?"

"No problem, I'm incredibly good with the ball in both hands," Li He thought to himself.

There are also more straightforward types:

"Hanson Lee, I want to be your girlfriend!"

Li He flipped through the papers and thought to himself, "If I can do this well in the NCAA, what will I be like in the NBA?"

The emperor wasn't exaggerating; choosing concubines was indeed quite a painful process.

Just then, Iguodala walked in carrying a cardboard box, complaining:

"Hansen, these were all asked to be brought to you by someone else."

Li He: ...
