The time is approaching for the Los Angeles Lakers to make their second-pick pick in the first round, and the crowd and countless fans around the world are waiting for the Lakers' selection. But they saw NBA commissioner Adam Silva walk out early.

"I'm announcing a trade," Adam Silva still smiled, "The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers have just reached a deal where the Lakers will send this year's second-round pick plus $5 million in cash to sign the new No. 1 pick!" ”

"The Timberwolves gave away Yi Feng's signing rights and got the second-round pick in the first round this year plus $5 million in cash!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar!

Since the 1976 merger of the NBA and ABA, only one No. 1 pick has been traded without playing a single game for the team that drafted him. This No. 1 pick is Chris Webb, a super power forward with a gorgeous style of play.

In the 1993 draft, the Orlando Magic used the No. 1 pick in their hand to select Chris Webb, and immediately sent him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for the show "Penny" Hardaway and some other chips.

And now, another champion from China, Yi Feng, was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and only symbolically wore a Timberwolves hat, and then was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers!

In this way, Yi Feng became the second champion in NBA history after Chris Webb to be traded without playing a game.

Interestingly, last year's top pick Andrew Wiggins also had almost the same fate as Yi Feng.

Andrew Wiggins was traded after being drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers and signing to a rookie contract with the Cavaliers. He once wore a Cavaliers jersey and played in the Summer League as a Cavaliers. But in the end, he was traded, and with him was traded to the Timberwolves, along with 13-year pick Anthony Bennett.

In fact, since the merger of the NBA and the ABA, there have only been two champions who have been traded without playing a single game, and there are only a handful of precedents for changing owners even after four years.

Because the champion show is generally the best rookie in the same class, it is the most valuable to cultivate. Many teams choose to play badly after the playoffs are hopeless, just to get a potential rookie.

So when a team gets a top pick, it will definitely go all out to train and will not think of trading him at all. A situation like Yi Feng's is really unexpected.

The Timberwolves really have their eye on Towns, and unsurprisingly, he was originally the champion.

And now the Timberwolves did get Towns, and by the way, they blackmailed the Lakers for five million. In the name of the Timberwolves, they have won two super rookies in a row, and they have nothing to lose, but they have made a lot of money.

Although the Lakers were ripped off, Kobe Bryant finally won Yi Feng over, and he wouldn't think that the five million was not worth it.

So who is really to lose?

Maybe it's just Downs. He was forced to move from the top spot to the top spot, and his rookie contract may be smaller. The most important thing is that his reputation was also overshadowed by Yi Feng, and he was crushed by Yi Feng.

Yi Feng was quickly found by the camera at the scene, and he was a little surprised to learn that he was traded, but he soon took off the Timberwolves hat on his head and put it back on with the Lakers logo.

"You really said it," Yi Feng turned his head and said to Zhou Mu: "It turned out that the Lakers and the Timberwolves had a deal behind their backs, and I became the champion." ”

Zhou Mu said: "I heard some rumors before, saying that Kobe Bryant was running around in order to let the Lakers choose you. It's a pity that I went to tryouts with you at the time, and I didn't have a chance to find out the truth of the matter, so I didn't tell you about it. ”

Now it seems that it should be Kobe Bryant who succeeded in convincing the Lakers' management. That's why we have the deal now. When you talked to Kobe Bryant like that, if you go to the Lakers, it's definitely better than going to the Timberwolves. ”

"Well," Yi Feng nodded, "and I can learn a lot from him, comprehensive techniques, veteran experience, and all kinds of tips in the arena and so on." ”

"Anyway, I feel lucky that Kobe Bryant actually initiated such a trade for me."

"What's lucky," Zhou Mu felt a little jealous, "You are like the protagonist of this world, and any good thing can happen to you!" ”

"You see your innate talent, both physically and mentally, so high that you have no friends; And the previous fight, why did it suddenly stop? I can't find out the reason now, I can only say that you are the darling of the heavens, and your luck is too good to understand......"

Yi Feng shrugged helplessly, "It's not something I can decide. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the beautiful ESPN reporter who had just interviewed him walking towards him.

Just became the champion show, and was traded immediately, Yi Feng has such a big news value, how can a beautiful reporter let him go? In addition, she herself also enjoyed her time with Yi Feng......

Next, the draft continued.

After the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Yi Feng with their own pick, they traded him as a chip for the Los Angeles Lakers' pick plus $5 million, and then the Timberwolves used the picks to select Karl Anthony Towns, the young man they wanted the most.

After that, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have a flower pick, chose Jahir Okafor, who is 211cm tall from Duke University.

So the top three in this draft finally appeared.

With the fourth pick in the first round, the New York Knicks unexpectedly selected Kristaps Porzingis from the small European country of Latvia; With the fifth pick in the first round, the Orlando Magic team chose Mario Herzonia, also from a European country.

The 6th to 14th picks in this draft are: Willie Cauleystein selected by the Sacramento Kings, Emanuel Moodier selected by the Denver Tunnels, Stanley Johnson selected by the Detroit Pistons, Frank Kaminsky selected by the Charlotte Hornets, Justis Winslow selected by the Miami Heat, Myles Turner selected by the Indiana Pacers, and Tre Lyles selected by the Utah Jazz. Devin Booker selected by the Phoenix Suns and Cameron Payne selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder.

It is worth mentioning that because of the Chicago training camp, playing side by side with Yi Feng, Porzingis was actually mentioned to the fourth pick, and Booker also rushed into the lottery area, Nance Jr. was selected by the Lakers with the 27th pick in the first round, and Anthony Brown was also selected by the Lakers with the fourth pick in the second round and the 34th pick overall.

I don't know if the Lakers selected Yi Feng's teammates in training camp to show favor to him. If that's the case, then he has a high standing in the hearts of Lakers management.

The draft went smoothly, but until the last pick in the second round, Yi Feng did not wait for the news that Guo Allen was selected.

Allen Guo once briefly appeared on the draft simulation list drawn up by many media, although the position was low, but at least the top 60. It's a pity that his name didn't appear in tonight's draft.

Yi Feng once imagined how wonderful it would be if there were two Chinese guards fighting at the same time in the NBA. The two are in a foreign country, aiming for each other and making progress together. And it's great to be able to share your experiences.

It's a pity that in the end, this is just a thought......
