Chapter 436

The Finals MVP award went to Durant without any surprise, the first Finals MVP trophy of his career, and given the current state of the Bucks, this is probably just the beginning.

When the Bucks win the championship, they will normally hold a championship parade in Milwaukee, and it will be on a grand scale.

After all, the last time the Bucks won the championship was in 1971, and the city's fans had long forgotten what it was like to win a championship, so when the Bucks returned to Bryan after decades, Milwaukee fans all took to the streets to greet their heroes.

Wang Xiao has seen this kind of scene three times in the Wizards and is used to it, but Durant, Brother Alphabet and others are excited, after all, they have never seen such a scene.

Speaking in front of thousands of fans, Durant excitedly made a promise to bring the championship back to Milwaukee next year.

Durant's promise is not groundless, with the strength of the Bucks, they will indeed remain the strongest contenders for the championship next season, and even with Embiid returning from injury, the Bucks will replace the Wizards as the imaginary rival of all teams in the league.

It's certainly a challenge for this young Bucks team.

……

After participating in the championship parade, it stands to reason that Wang Xiao should rush back to China non-stop to devote himself to the training of the Chinese men's basketball team.

But he still stayed in the United States for two more days for no other reason, he wanted to participate in the draft of his disciple Hao Peng.

The 2016 draft was widely regarded by many media as a draft with extremely high quality.

There is no other reason, just because Hao Peng participated in this draft.

In the NCAA, Hao Peng has been crowned invincible.

Strong physical fitness, superb skills, and the potential that cannot see the upper limit at all make Hao Peng regarded by the NBA as a rare super center in 20 years, and is also regarded by the Chinese media as the successor of Da Yao, and he is the successor who has the opportunity to surpass Da Yao.

The 30 teams in the league, no matter which team gets the top pick, will not hesitate to choose Hao Peng, even if this draft conference still has James and Magic Johnson as the draft template. Simmons and Kevin. Durant is the draft template for Ingram.

Bucks management had proposed to Wang Xiao to get this year's No. 1 pick through a trade, and then choose Hao Peng.

But there is little chance of success in this scenario.

Judging from Hao Peng's current reputation before he joined the NBA, if he wants to get the top pick, the Bucks must have one of the two gods of Durant and Brother Alphabet in their chips.

Whether it is Durant or Brother Alphabet, in terms of their own strength and potential, they are not inferior to David. Robinson grew up with Hao Peng, and the playing styles of these two are more suitable for the Bucks' current tactical system.

On top of that, the Bucks already have Embiid and Jokic, although both may not be as tied together as David. Robinson, but after all, is the best player in the league right now.

If they want to get Hao Peng, the Bucks will inevitably have to give up one of Durant and Antetokounmpo, and at the same time lose one of Embiid and Jokic, which will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Wang Xiao vetoed this proposal, and because of Wang Xiao's contract, the management of the Bucks can only give opinions on the team's recruitment and trade, and the decision is in Wang Xiao's hands.

……

It is worth mentioning that this year's champion pick was won by the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers' record this season is about the same as that of another plane, or because of Jimmy. With the addition of Butler, the Lakers' record is slightly better than that of another time and space, ranking third from the bottom in the West and fifth from the bottom in the league in the regular season.

This ranking itself has a high probability of winning the top pick, and the Lakers, who are ranked second to last in the league in another time and space, lost to the first-to-last 76ers and only got the second pick.

But in this time and space, the 76ers have been struggling on the verge of the playoffs because of the acquisition of Wall, and naturally lost the opportunity to compete with the Lakers.

The Lakers were ecstatic to get the top pick, and general manager Kupchak made it clear that the Lakers have a tradition of strong centers, and Hao Peng will be the absolute core of the Lakers' future interior line, and they are also confident that Hao Peng will become a top interior line comparable to the Lakers' four centers.

Hao Peng's joining the Lakers is a win-win situation in Wang Xiao's view.

For the Lakers, it is naturally an excellent thing to get such a top player through the draft, and it is not in vain to accompany Kobe Bryant on tour regardless of his record all season.

For Hao Peng, being able to join a giant like the Lakers is also of great benefit to his own development.

As a top NBA giant, relying on Hao Peng, Butler's two potential players, and the unique geographical location of Angel City, it is very easy to attract one or two stars to join the Big Three in the next few seasons.

……

In the draft, the Lakers did not hesitate to use the champion to select Hao Peng, and Hao Peng became the second NBA champion in Chinese history.

The Golden State Warriors, who had the lowest regular season record in the league but unfortunately only got the top pick, chose Ben. Simmons and Ingram were drafted by the Suns with the third pick.

……

This draft is known to be full of talent, and in fact, there are only a few players with good potential, in addition to Hao Peng, Simmons and Ingram, Jalen. Brown can still be remembered by Wang Xiao.

The Bucks currently have a complete roster, and they have traded all of their draft picks for nearly two years in order to get Durant, so the entire draft is just a formality.

With the end of the draft, Wang Xiao and Hao Peng got on the plane back to China together and went to the training base of the Chinese men's basketball team to prepare for the Rio Olympics.

The two of them are the latest to return to the entire Chinese men's basketball team, and others, including Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, and Lin Shuhao, have reported and started training as early as half a month ago.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao has always followed the training progress of the players remotely through the Internet, so he can take over the team's training progress immediately.

Today's Chinese men's basketball team has finally ushered in a complete body.

Led by Jeremy Lin, Yi Jianlian, Cheng Jie, Wang Meng, Hao Peng, five current NBA players, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Ding Yanyuhang and other top players in the domestic CBA league The men's national basketball team is the strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history.

Even the Chinese men's basketball team led in 08 cannot be compared with it in the lineup!
