Chapter 41 - Draft starts
Because the Dallas Mavericks have just finished the finals, both the coach and the players are exhausted, and they only have one draft pick at the end of the first round, so there are not many people on the trial of Li Unity. .
Of course, there are not many people present. It does not mean that the Dallas Mavericks do not value Li Unity. If they can choose Li Unity with the draft pick at the end of the first round in their hands, they will be very happy.
The draft end of the first round of the draft year is not as good as that of the second round of the year. Such a draft right is actually not very important for the Mavericks with a perfect lineup.
Li Tuan’s performance in the trial training, I feel quite good, especially in the field of shooting training, his own open shot and running shot, the shooting rate is very good.
Judging from the expressions on the faces of several Mavericks management present, they were very satisfied with Li Tuan.
Their biggest wish at the moment is to find a qualified substitute for Nowitzki. In the long run, Li Tuanjie’s physical fitness is not excellent, and the upper limit may not be very high, but in terms of combat power, Li Tuanjie definitely belongs to The leader of this group of rookies.
If you don’t consider Li Tuan’s psychiatric history, the Mavericks have no chance to miss Li Tuan!
……
After the trial training, Li Tuan and Xia Fangfei returned to Stanford International University. All that had to be done. Two days later was the draft conference. He just had to wait for the news.
Li Tuan is not worried that his pick will drop to the second round. At this point, he is very confident that the immediate combat power he has shown is definitely worth the risk for those teams that urgently need to fill a strong forward position.
……
On June 23, the NBA’s annual draft conference officially began. Li Jiejie, a rookie player who can be selected, will naturally get the chance to enter!
The only thing that makes Li Tuan somewhat uncomfortable is that he did not get the chance to enter the small green house!
Generally in the draft, those players who are expected to be selected as the lotto show will be invited by the NBA to the green small room on the spot!
The so-called lotto show generally refers to the players selected by the top fourteen, so there are currently fourteen players in the small green house!
Aldridge, an acquaintance of Li United, was sitting in the green house, waiting for the start of the draft!
“What the hell, your strength is much stronger than the players in the small green house, why don’t you let us enter the small green house?!” Xia Fangfei was sitting next to Li Tuanjie with an unhappy face.
Li Tuanjie shook his head and smiled, didn’t say much, didn’t enter the small green house, it really disappointed Li Tuanjie, but this does not mean that he had no chance to be selected by Lotto show!
Historically, even if they entered the small green house and were eventually selected by the end of the first round or even the second round, there are still a lot of people.
“Li Unity, did you not enter the small green house?!” While Xia Fangfei complained, Rondo came over and sat down at their small table.
“Rondo, you are not the same…”
“Hey, this draft management committee is a bunch of brains. The results of the two of us in the joint trial training are not too explosive. They don’t even give us the opportunity to enter the small green house!” Rondo was also upset.
During the joint trial, Li Tuan and Rondo were the best performers, but unfortunately neither of them had the chance to enter the small green house!
……
When the two were chatting, NBA President David Stern took the stage, and the scene instantly became quiet!
The draft meeting really started!
“It’s the annual draft meeting again. I see a lot of fresh blood in the NBA here. I’m very happy. I wish you guys can break into the world in the NBA!”
After Stern took the stage, he encouraged the rookies on the spot, and then the draft meeting officially began!
“The Toronto Raptors selected the striker from Italy in the first round of the first round: Andrea Baggnani.”
Bagnani was selected as the No. 1 pick, which is expected by everyone. Almost all draft predictions list Bagnani as the No. 1 candidate.
After being selected as the draft pick, Baggnani walked out of the green house excitedly, shaking hands with Stern warmly!
Although new people enter the NBA almost every year in Europe, Bagnani is the first draft pick in Europe, everyone is optimistic about his future!
“The Chicago Bulls selected the forward player from the University of Texas with the second pick in the first round: LaMarcus Aldridge!”
After Stern announced this news, Li Tuanjie from the audience was a bit sighed, and the history hadn’t changed. Aldridge finally got the top spot in the list.
“If it wasn’t for the **** guy named Rosen, maybe I would have the chance to get the No. 2 pick!” Li Tuan said that he was not greedy for Aldridge’s position. That’s a fake. The No. 1 pick can get a worse salary than the No. 1 pick. Not much. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
“Charlotte Bobcats, with the third pick in the first round, selected the striker from Gonzaga University: Adam Morrison!”
“The Minnesota Timberwolves chose the defender from the University of Washington with the sixth overall pick in the first round: Brandon Roy!”
“The Houston Rockets selected the forward player from the University of Connecticut with the eighth pick in the first round: Rudy Gay!”
The selection of the top eight picks has come out, and Li Unity is a little anxious. There are only six left in the lottery show. If Li Unity is still not selected in the next six opportunities, it means that Li Unity is missing The chance to become a lotto show!
As for Rondo next to Li Tuan, he was already mad at the mother!
“The shady screen is definitely the shady screen of his mother-in-law. Lao Tzu performed so well in the training. Why didn’t anyone choose Lao Tzu!” Rondo shouted. Originally, he didn’t have too high expectations for his draft pick, but he did a joint test. His excellent performance in training gave him a sudden rise of hope!
He felt that with his own performance, not to mention the top three picks, at least he could mix into the top ten draft positions!
Li Tuan smiled and said nothing about Rondo’s anger. In fact, despite the excellent overall situation and ability to pass and control in Rondo, the short board was also very obvious, that is his projection Ability is very bad, even scum!
A small point guard with a height of 1.8 meters and no projection ability? ! The general team really dare not risk choosing him!
“Orlando Magic, selected the defender from Duke University with the eleventh pick in the first round: J-J-Redick!”
The eleventh pick rookie came out, not Li Tuanjie, and next, he only had the last three chances left!
