On April 28, 2011, the NFL's new season draft was officially held at the Radio City Music Hall in New York!

The entire draft will last three days, from the 28th to the 30th, with a total of seven rounds. On the first day, the first round of the draft will be held, which is also the most concerned and important day in the entire draft. According to statistics, the ratings of the live broadcast of the draft on this day even exceeded the ratings of the Major League Baseball World Series!

Rugby is hailed as the number one sport in the United States, and it deserves it.

On this day, the sights of the United States are all converging toward New York, and reporters from large and small newspapers have arrived in this media capital to run around to grasp first-hand information; in addition to major TV stations, cable TV stations, Internet video programs and local TV stations have also set their sights on this hustle and bustle city. A variety of live and recorded programs are dazzling, but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Rugby fans from all over the United States poured into hundreds of thousands of people in Manhattan, New York. A small group of fans snapped up tickets for the draft conference early, looking forward to witnessing their team's draft situation on the spot for the first time- —Maybe, they will usher in the core soul of the dynasty; most other fans hope to stand on the land of Manhattan, feel the grandeur of the draft up close, and even do a good carnival on the street. ready.

This is a grand event for the national carnival. In the North American soil, apart from Thanksgiving, there is nothing comparable to rugby. No Oscar, no NBA Finals, not even the President ’s speech.

Overnight, it seemed that all eyes were focused on the slap of Manhattan, and the land outside New York is no exception. The topic of discussion is only "draft! Draft! Draft!"

The same is true of San Francisco, located on the west coast of North America. Although today is Thursday and a normal working day, many people took leave early at home and held parties to follow the progress of the draft in real time. Even the company actively announced that today ’s day off will allow employees to enjoy the Super Bowl Another grand event.

The Haight-Ashbury area is located in the northeast area of ​​San Francisco ’s city, away from the beautiful coastline of the San Francisco Bay Area. The entire area is located on rolling hills, even for experienced drivers. Driving here also needs to be careful and careful.

In the 1960s, this area gave birth to the hippie culture, and then spread vigorously throughout North America. After half a century of precipitation and development, the residents here gradually traveled to their own culture.

There is still a strong hippie culture between the blocks, but homeless people, Mexican immigrants, and Italian immigrants have gradually left here to build their own small communities in other areas of the city. Freelancers with dreams and artists embracing artistic creation began to settle here.

This is not the most expensive and high-end community in San Francisco, but it is also not the most chaotic public security and environmental environment in San Francisco. It is also not a community with immigrant national cultural characteristics. It is more like a cultural fusion with San Francisco ’s own characteristics. The community, young and full of energy, is full of vitality and prosperity.

In 1997, when Zhengzheng Lu and his family brought immigrants to San Francisco, they thought about living in Chinatown-now San Francisco has developed three different Chinese immigrant living communities. This is one of the cities with the most Chinese in the United States. However, Chinatown at that time was still the oldest one, and it is now known as the "street market" community, which means that the entire street is a traditional vegetable market with a street view with Chinese characteristics.

However, if you live in Chinatown, Lu Zheng's work is inconvenient, and Jiang Youning is inconvenient to work. After much deliberation, they chose the Haight-Ashbury area, which was still a wasteful area. The law and order is not good, but it is much better than the slums. The price is also very fair. More importantly, Living here is very convenient for both people to work.

So, the family settled down here. Later, Lu Ke attended George Washington High School. There were not many Chinese in the school, but a mixed high school. This became an important reason for Lu Ke's rapid adaptation to immigrant life.

In this area, you can meet a variety of neighbors and friends.

For example, next to Lu Ke ’s house is an Italian immigrant, not a mafia / hands / party, but an Italian restaurant, a super family, two couples with five children, and the daily meal time is very lively.

As another example, across the street is an American family, a traditional white-collar family, middle class, the male host is a doctor, the female host is a gardener, they have two children, one male and one female, the eldest son is Logan Newman.

As for the Gypsies on the street corner, they have always insisted on living a "primitive" life, reclaiming their own vegetable gardens, weaving their own clothes, and conducting their own family education. Everyone was amazed at the beginning, but over time, I was surprised.

On the draft day, the Haight-Ashbury district also ushered in a carnival day. On the rolling streets, residents have hung the flag of the San Francisco 49ers, or the American flag, in this way. Joined in the draft; many residents also hung lanterns and balloons at the door, decorated with wreaths, the party is already in the making, and now waiting for the results of the draft to be released.

Even in the air there is a "football" breath.

Logan trot all the way and rushed out, standing on his own lawn, shouting, "Bambi! Banbi!" The cry was urgent, but it wasn't Lu Ke, but Jiang Youning, " Hey, Logan. "

"Annie, good afternoon, Bambi?" Logan greeted with a smile.

"He went out for a run and said that today's training task has not been completed." Jiang Youning was also very happy. He replied with a smile, Logan stunned, and finally laughed dumbly.

Jiang Youning immediately greeted, "When will you come? All of our things are ready. I just watched it. The live countdown program is about to start. You come over first. We are eating and talking. "

"What about Bambi? Hasn't Babi yet to come back?" Before Logan's question was finished, Jiang Youning waved his hand. "After the run, he came back, and he must be on time." Lu Ke's workout It requires scientific regulation, accurate timing and accurate planning, and the entire itinerary is extremely accurate, so there is no need to worry at all.

"Okay, let's go right away!" Logan also smiled dumbly, nodded, and then turned and walked towards the house. "Dad, Mom, the live countdown program is about to start. Let's go first."

Tonight's draft day, led by Lu Zhengzheng and Jiang Youning, the two gathered together and watched the live broadcast. Not only because the two children are involved in the draft, but also because of this, the atmosphere is more lively and the live broadcast is more happy.

In order to increase the drama and entertainment of the draft, on the day of the draft, the league will predict the first round of rookies based on the data of various parties and scout reports, and invite these potential first round players into a so-called In the live room of "Green House", surrounded by cameras, waiting for the announcement of the draft results.

The TV station will also switch live broadcasts in real time, presenting the players' joy, restlessness and loss. It can be called a reality show without a script.

In general, the league will issue forty to forty-five invitations to ensure that it can cover all players in the first round of the 32 draft seats.

However, players can choose independently. They are willing to enter the Green House and wait for the live broadcast. They still prefer to stay in their own homes and wait for the results of the candidate show with their families. In order to ensure that the first-round player's reaction can be locked in the first round, the TV station will also obtain the permission and broadcast to the player's home.

But what if there is an accident? What if there is an upset? In the first round, there was a player who was not captured by the camera? This has also happened in history, and the solution is simple: a live phone connection. Not only will this not affect the live broadcast, it will be more dramatic.

Of the 332 players in the rookie training camp, less than 45 players received an invitation letter. Neither Lu Ke nor Logan are among them. To be precise, none of the five UCLA draft players are.

Therefore, Lu Ke returned to San Francisco to watch the draft with his family, waiting for the result of the draft.

In fact, Lu Ke is very certain that he has nothing to do with himself on the first day. He cannot be the first round of the show, and Logan's hopes are very slim. They can relax and enjoy this reality show quietly. For them, the important thing is not who they chose in the first round, but the choice of several players in the first round. This has an impact on the subsequent draft picks, and it is also closely related to them.

When I got home, the live countdown program had already started. The special guests were sitting like a round table. They sat in front of the camera and discussed the stars and dark horses that may appear in the first round of the show, as well as the draft strategies of each team. Hearing the sound of Lu Ke opening the door, everyone raised their arms at the same time, "Quick, Ban Bi! Quick! Start!"

Logan's guy raised his hand and smashed the football in his hand towards Lu Ke. "You are a lunatic, but you still run today? Ten thousand meters? Wouldn't you run several laps around the hill?"

"Who is as lazy as you are." Tucao is Logan's sister Julia-Newman (Julia-Newman). This year's third year of high school, will rise to four in September. The next step is to prepare for college. There are classes in school today, but Julia ran back early to watch the live draft of the draft conference.

Lu Ke took the rugby, raised his hand and threw it back, shrugged towards Logan, then looked at the four elders, and said politely, "I'll take a shower first, I don't want to miss the live broadcast."
