NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

The video of the joint training exercise eventually circulated online.

Facing the Avengers of the same generation, including Harden and Griffin, Zhou Yi displayed a higher level of performance.

He used his defense, his dunks, his mid-range shots, and his raw, undeniable talent to show everyone why he could become an NCAA champion.

Meanwhile, the physical test reports from the joint tryouts were also published on the NBA's official website.

When Zhou Yi's physical test report was leaked, it instantly sparked a huge discussion in the American basketball community.

"Oh shit, that kid is practically superhuman! His physical gifts are amazing!"

"This player's perfect physique is simply something God created specifically for basketball."

"He is the strongest in his class. The battle for the top pick in the 09 draft is over. Griffin simply cannot compete with Zhou."

In ESPN's studio, A. Smith even produced a special episode dedicated to the topic.

He played the joint training and competition video of Zhou Yi on a loop and compared the physical test reports of Zhou Yi and Griffin one by one.

"No doubt about it, if the Clippers, who had the number one pick, hadn't selected Zhou, they would have been fools who would regret it for the rest of their lives."

A. Smith's words were broadcast across the United States via ESPN, from streetball courts in Queens, New York to gyms at Boston colleges.

From America to across the ocean, all basketball fans are looking forward to Madison Square Garden on June 25th.

There, the NBA commissioner will personally announce the name of the number one draft pick.

.......

A seaside villa on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Inside the office, a bald man wearing a red plaid shirt is signing a document in his hand.

Steve Ballmer, president of Microsoft, is a billionaire basketball enthusiast.

The acquisition agreement in hand has been evaluated and checked by professional lawyers and there are no problems.

The pen flew across the contract as Ballmer signed his name, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

Finally, after all the contracts were signed, Ballmer stood up and shook hands with the lawyer in front of him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ballmer, all shares of the Clippers and all league rights are now yours. You will become the owner of this team."

"Thanks, I can't wait to sit courtside with the Clippers now."

Ballmer's tone was full of anticipation; acquiring an NBA team was his basketball dream.

He was passionate about basketball, and now he has everything he wanted.

The lawyer left the office, leaving only Ballmer and his secretary in the room.

"Hansen, in conjunction with the NBA, released a statement and prepared a flight to Los Angeles. Stern gave us a great gift in this year's draft."

......

A few days later, at a hotel in Los Angeles.

After finishing the joint tryouts in Chicago, Zhou Yi asked Austin to help him rent a room in Los Angeles for an extended period, where he rested and trained.

Zhou Yi's private tryout with the Clippers ended yesterday, with General Manager Dunleavy accompanying him throughout.

This veteran, who has been in the NBA for 32 years, gave Zhou Yi a direct promise of being the number one draft pick after the tryout.

"Zhou, we need you. The Clippers will select you with the number one pick in 09."

Zhou Yi largely believed in Dunleavy's promises.

The Clippers, who have been in a rebuilding phase, currently lack talented players, and Zhou Yi's addition will be the best supplement to this bottom-feeding team in the future.

Although Griffin was defeated by him twice, he should be wary of the Clippers changing their minds at the last minute.

After all, NBA promises are sometimes full of deception.

As Zhou Yi thought to herself, a pair of small hands wrapped around his waist.

"Zhou, what are you thinking about?"

D'Addario hugged Zhou Yi from behind, his soft breasts pressing against Zhou Yi's back.

Daddario, who had just finished working on a film set in Vancouver, flew to Los Angeles to meet Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi didn't speak. D'Addario's small hands withdrew from his waist and stroked the top of Zhou Yi's head, gently massaging it.

Are you worried about the draft?

As he spoke, Daddario walked around to the front of Zhou Yi and snuggled into the boy's arms.

A gentle whisper rang in Zhou Yi's ears.

"I believe in you, Zhou. You are a hero on the court. The number one pick is definitely yours. My hero."

Seeing the love shining in those deep eyes, Zhou Yi couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the girl's lips.

The room lights snapped off; young couples in the throes of new love would use the most passionate methods to soothe each other's anxieties.

......

June 25, evening, Madison Square Garden, New York City.

Countless media outlets and fans gathered at this world-renowned basketball mecca.

Reporters speaking various languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese, and French, were reporting from inside the venue.

Countless basketball fans waited anxiously in front of their televisions for NBA draft night.

Here, you can select the cornerstone of a team for over a decade, someone who will lead the team to the pinnacle of basketball, winning one damn championship after another, achieving immortal glory.

Here you might also pick the biggest dud, like a beautifully packaged vase that turns into shattered pieces on the court, becoming a laughing stock for years to come.

This is the prelude to the start of each new NBA season, and the beginning of every player's dream.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Jia."

"I am Yang Yi."

"This is a live broadcast from CCTV-5. We are reporting live from Madison Square Garden on the 64th NBA Draft. Our outstanding player Zhou Yi will be participating in this draft."

Zhou Yi's participation in the selection prompted CCTV-5 to send a large on-site reporting team.

As their voices rang out, television sets in countless homes across the ocean filled with viewers, all eagerly anticipating tonight's performance.

After Yu Jiahe finished her introduction, the camera captured Zhou Yi entering the venue.

Tonight, Zhou Yi rejected the stylist's suggestion of a black suit and opted for a white one instead.

Zhou Yi's suit was adorned with rhinestones, making him stand out like a bright star in the night sky among the players dressed in black and gray.

Countless media cameras inside the venue quickly focused on Zhou Yi, and after tonight, Zhou Yi's image would appear on the front page of major newspapers.

Upon arriving at the sidelines, Zhou Yi accepted an interview with Channel 5, and then, guided by the staff on site, sat down in a seat in the center of the stadium.

Inside the enclosed area, there were a dozen or so round tables; this was the Green Room.

Here, you don't have to squeeze into the audience seats, and you'll still be in the spotlight. Sitting in the middle of the field, you can enjoy the attention of the entire audience.

When you stand up, there might be a nation's fans cheering behind you; the moment you put on the hat, it means you've instantly become a millionaire.

Zhou Yi's seat was arranged in the very center of the front row, with Curry and Harden sitting to his left and Griffin to his right.

Old Curry sat beside Curry, while Austin and Daddario sat next to Zhou Yi.

Sitting in the middle of the room, Zhou Yi kept rubbing his trousers, his palms already sweating.

Even Zhou Yi, who was usually calm and collected, felt incredibly tense at this moment.

Although Dunleavy made a promise of being the top pick, who knows which city he will end up in?

When everything settles down, it will also be the starting point of Zhou Yi's NBA destiny.

The countdown to the draft had ended, and amidst boos, Stern walked onto the stage.

Numerous cameras were pointed at the NBA commissioner. After a brief opening speech, Stern received an envelope from the Clippers.

Zhou Yi's heart was pounding in his chest as he looked at the smiling silver-haired old man on the stage.

"Received the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft."

"The Los Angeles Clippers have made their choice."
