Can you announce that name boldly right away?
No surprises at all.
The next second, Stern announced the Golden State Warriors' choice to the world:
With the first pick of the 2005 first round, the Warriors selected Qin Yue.
On site, as the dust settled, many Chinese journalists immediately sent back their pre-prepared press releases across the ocean.
China had, at this moment, welcomed its second NBA first overall pick!
For Chinese basketball fans already enjoying a prosperous early 21st century...
News of Qin Yue being successfully selected as the first overall pick is like going to a restaurant expecting just a royal feast, but the hotel ends up serving you two tables, while saying:
Don't worry about waste; if it's not enough, we can serve you another table.
There is no more beautiful moment than this.
