Chapter 407: Stern Announces Retirement (Third Update)
"In 2013, with the 6th pick in the first round of the NBA, the New Olsons Pelicans selected Norrence Knowle, a 2.11-meter center from the University of Kentucky."
Finally, with the sixth pick, the Pelicans finally picked Noll.
Knoll wiped away a handful of tears, hugged friends and family, and finally hugged Davis for a while.
He's going to be teammates with Davis.
At the critical moment, the seniors are still reliable.
The Pelicans fans at the scene were also excited at this time.
Norga Davis, is the team going to erect a no-fly zone over New Orleans?
Knoll took the hat handed by the staff and went on stage, shook hands with Stern with a smile, and took a group photo.
His mood seemed to have eased a little more than before.
Although the picks are a little lower, it is already a good result for him to join forces with Davis.
However, when he stepped down after the photo to be interviewed by reporters, he was told that he had been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers......
He didn't react at all, the ups and downs of this life are too exciting.
But that's the way it is in the draft, the players are naked commodity.
Tang Tian then took out his mobile phone and looked at the news.
The Pelicans sent Knight and a 2014 first-round protected draft pick, traded from the 76ers for All-Star Jrue Holiday and this year's 42nd pick.
Holiday , Tang Tian still has a good impression of him.
can rush, pass and defend, but the projection and organization are slightly weaker.
It's an All-Star now, and as long as one of those two weaknesses can be solved, the data will explode.
The draft continues.
A few of the more important choices in the first round.
The Trail Blazers selected CJ McCollum with the 10th pick.
One of the future Trail Blazers and one of the NBA inspirational players, he was only 1.58 meters when he entered high school and played four years in college.
The 76ers selected Mike Carter Williams with the 11th pick.
This player, who combines the names of many stars, has attracted a lot of heated discussions on social media.
The Thunder selected "Aquaman" Adams with the 12th pick.
Adams didn't have a beard at this time, and he looked like an absolutely handsome New Zealand guy.
The Bucks selected Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick.
At this time, Brother Alphabet looked really thin, much thinner than Davis.
The Bucks fans at the scene were all confused, because this player from Greece didn't even enter the little green house.
The Nuggets drafted center Rudy Gobert from France with the 27th pick and traded him to the Jazz.
The Spurs selected Livio Jean Charre, also a forward from France, with the 29th pick.
Looking at the choice of two orders before and after, Tang Tian felt a little depressed in his heart.
These two priorities are really 108,000 miles apart, and he really can't wait to be the general manager.
However, he is a player now and that is certainly not possible.
But he now wants to emulate James and get a say in the team.
Otherwise, in this era of giants forming teams, even if he becomes the boss of the team, he may not be able to win.
"In 2013, with the 30th pick in the first round of the NBA, the Suns selected Nemanja Nedovic, a 1.91-meter point guard from Serbia."
The Heat's previous draft picks came to the Suns, and after the Suns made their selections, this year's first-round draft officially ended.
However, unlike in previous years, Stern did not turn around and leave immediately after the announcement.
Instead, there was a pause.
The fans had already guessed what he was going to do by this time, and the boos rose again.
Stern looked agitated and waited until the boos fell before he spoke.
"This is my last time as NBA commissioner, and I'm going to be handing over to Adam next February, and he'll be the next commissioner of the league, so thank you all for your support over the next 20 years."
When Stern said this, there were bursts of whistles and cheers, as well as long-lasting applause.
Although there were two stoppages in his 20 years in office, his reputation was greatly affected, and he was questioned a lot because of some decisions made by the league's referees.
But none of this can overshadow his 20 years of contributions to the NBA.
It was under his leadership that the NBA was promoted to the world and achieved its current status and popularity.
He can afford the word meritorious.
Stern finally waved goodbye to the audience and turned to enter the stage.
When the second round of the draft began, this time it was not Tytam who came out, but Xiao Hua as Stern said before.
This is to warm up the field early for next year.
He seemed to be in high spirits, as if he had a hundred ideas running through his head, eager to implement them immediately.
It felt like he had been with Stern for so long, and he was finally ready to take the position.
Tang Tian unconsciously rubbed his forehead at this time.
Headache, Xiao Hua still took office.
It seems that Tetum lost in the infighting with Xiao Hua.
From previous contacts, he was clearly more fond of the Tatum, who had a quarter of Chinese ancestry.
It's a pity that his status in the alliance is not high now, otherwise Xiao Hua would not have a chance to come to power.
But he is not in a hurry, there is still a long way to go, and there is a lot of time.
The first two years were just a period of adaptation, and next year will be the beginning of his real outburst.
He is not James, Xiao Hua is really anxious, he will definitely be scared if he wants to.
No one has stipulated that the president of the alliance cannot be replaced.
In the small year of the draft, there was not much talent in the first round, let alone in the second round.
If it were last year, many players might not have a chance to be selected.
The Spurs have selected a swingman in both the first and second rounds of this year, and a swingman named DeSean Thomas has been selected in the second round.
But like last year's Marcus Dammon, it's basically a player who plays in the summer league.
As information becomes more and more developed, the league has more and more information about international players.
Actions like the Spurs' previous selection of Ginobili are basically difficult to reappear.
At the end of the draft, Tang Tian and Walker got up and prepared to leave the Barclays Center.
The draft is very long, and they can go out for a late-night snack at this time.
When I went out, I saw several rookies on the phone at the door, and I was excited to report the good news to the person on the other end of the phone.
That's the way the draft goes, when the little green room players are still scared to get into the lottery, and even cry because they are out of the top five like Knoll, and some ordinary players are excited to be drafted.
The NBA Draft is a conference that decides the fate of basketball people.
"Don."
Tang Tian put his arm on Walker's shoulders and walked out while chatting about the draft conference, but heard someone shouting about himself.
He turned his head and noticed a guy with big eyebrows.
Anthony Davis?
ps: Eggplant pushes books, I know that everyone is short of books, and the update is not enough to read, so I push 2 quality books.
