Chapter 195: Overall Champion, But the Temple is Small

The 2003 Draft came to a successful conclusion, and oddly enough, the most widely circulated photo, aside from the one with all the rookies, was of Yu Fei posing with various other rookies.

When Yu Fei took a photo with James, he gave a thumbs up, then, with Wade, he flashed a "2", and by Anthony's side, his gesture was a "3".

It seemed like he was using his own way to rank these rookies.

The Bucks smoothly used their first-round 29th and second-round 29th picks to select Zaza Pachulia and Udonis Haslem, respectively.

The day after the draft ended, predictably, something unpredictable happened.

Every year, ESPN's Bill Simmons writes a "Draft Diary" to express his views on the draft. This is his signature series of articles. Last year, he infuriated Yu Fei with his demeaning comments and uncomfortable jokes about Yao Ming.

This led to a year of back-and-forth sniping between them.
