From the beginning of the draft, the trade came as promised with the turmoil of the league.

And the ruthlessness of this alliance has never been missing.

The Portlands officially fired their general manager, Pritchard, on the night of the draft. Just an hour before the draft began, general manager Pritchard received notice of his dismissal, and Pritchard remained to work for the team's draft.

In any case, the decision to fire their general manager on the day of the draft was ruthless and even somewhat degrading. And Trail Blazers president Larry Miller once again said in an interview that they fired Pritchard was definitely a wise move, and everything they did was for the sake of the team, but refused to reveal more inside information about firing Pritchard.

The Wizards traded for Kirk Hinrich and the 17th pick in the first round from the Bulls, which actually freed up $9 million in salary space for the Bulls, and the Bulls were emboldened enough to pursue not only All-Stars like LeBron James or Devin Wade, but also Chris Bosh and Stoudemire.

The flood of transaction information is dazzling, and ordinary people simply cannot gather useful information from these chaotic information, and are more likely to make some wrong judgments because some transactions touch the nerves.

"What to do, who to choose, what to do after choosing?"

Everyone turned their attention to Wang Mingming in front of the big screen, Wang Mingming hugged his arms in front of his chest, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

.........

On the spot, Stern shook hands with the little-known Paul George.

Paul George walked up to the stage and looked very emotional, first expressing his gratitude to the Pacers, and then thanking a group of people who had helped him in their lives.

Paul George walked off the stage and the boos were much quieter.

At this time, David Stern took the stage again, already holding an envelope in his hand.

Everyone turned their attention to the white envelope, which was the eleventh choice.

The eleventh pick belongs to the defending champion Kings, if it is just an ordinary eleventh pick, I am afraid it will not receive so much attention, but not long after the finals have just been played, everyone's eyes are still reminiscent of the picture of the king's strong sweep to win the championship, and they are particularly concerned about this draft.

David Stern lifted his glasses and pulled out a white piece of paper from the white envelope.

"The 11th pick in the 2018 draft, the Portland Trail Blazers chose ........."

"Cole Aldridge!"

Everyone applauded, sure enough, it was still Cole Aldridge, the physical fitness of the big white bear is mouth-watering, and it was expected to be in the top 10 of the draft, and now it is natural that he was selected with the eleventh pick.........

Wait, Portland Trail Blazers?

Shouldn't it be the Sacramento Kings?

Everyone reacted suddenly, and there was an uproar, and then many clever people quickly took out their mobile phones, turned on the computer, and connected to the wireless search for the latest developments on the spot.

Sure enough, in the alliance trading market, a new trading message was announced.

The Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers completed a wave of trades in the first few dozen seconds.

"Sure enough, the new official took office with three fires, Pritchard stepped down, and the new general manager immediately had a new move, but trading with Wang tomorrow is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger."

Everyone watched intently.

The Kings sent away the 11th pick this year and the Portland Trail Blazers' 14th pick to complete the swap.

Of course, the swap had to be equivalent, and the Kings wouldn't do a loss-making business, so both sides added players, with the Kings sending away the team's third center, Hudman Blair, and getting the Trail Blazers' Nicholas Batum.

Nicolas Batum was the 25th pick in '08, and after entering the league, he quickly grew into an excellent small forward, who can shoot and pass, has a solid style of play, and is known as the "French Magician", and more importantly, he is only 22 years old.

But last season, Batum suffered serious injury troubles, playing in only 37 games, 25 of which were starts, averaging 10.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.

Batum is considered the piece of the Trail Blazers' revival puzzle, but in reality, the Trail Blazers have hoarded too many talented players at the small forward position.

Ryan Gomez, Dante Cunningham, Rudy Fernandes........

The Trail Blazers have drafted two interior players, and the center position finally doesn't look so thin, and they don't have to wait for Oden's injury to rely on veteran Camby.

Hudan Blair had a stellar start to the season with the Kings, but with the Kings trading for Gortat, Blair has become less and less involved.

But Blair has also shown many flashes in his limited time and is considered a short rebounder.

Originally, the Spurs were very interested in Blair, and they have been discussing a deal with Wang Mingming, but now the Trail Blazers are very inserted, and Wang Mingming is not willing to continue to fight with the Spurs, so he sent Blair to the Trail Blazers.

Netizens of the online king immediately expressed their deep sympathy and blessings to Blair.

"Watch out for the Trailblazers - the center killers - the vets!"

Both teams were so happy that when Cole Aldridge gave an enthusiastic speech on stage, there was always a commotion in the audience, so that he thought he was very attractive, and couldn't help but throw a few winks at the beautiful women in beautiful evening dresses in the audience.

After Kerr stepped down, the 12th overall pick of the Grizzlies chose Xavier Henry from the University of Kansas.

The Raptors, who were the 13th pick, selected Ed Davis.

A physical explosion, evaluation: Ed Davis is a standard interior player with excellent mobility, excellent rebounding ability on both offensive and defensive ends, good at blocking, and his offensive skills continue to improve, and the best template is Al Horford.

The Kings have the 14th overall pick.

This time, David Stern stood on stage and spoke out loud about the King's choice.

"The Sacramento Kings chose ........ Eric Bledsoe, from the University of Kentucky. ”

"Could it be him?"

Everyone is amazed, Eric Bledsoe!

In fact, despite all the excellent Kentucky Tigers, the five are still in a bit of a position on the team, with Wall being the top pick, Cousins also being a top-five pick, followed by Patrick Patterson, then Eric Bledsoe, and Daniel Alton.

But now, Bledsow was drafted one step ahead of Patterson.

Patterson applauded from the sidelines, congratulating his brother in college, but his face was inevitably full of bitterness, the last place in the lottery area had appeared, not him, and what he didn't expect was that the last place was taken by his good brother.

Bledsoe himself was a little incredulous, when the names were skipped one by one, there was no movement from him, he once thought that he would definitely not be selected by the lottery, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, and the Kings chose him.

He looked up, and in the VIP box above, there seemed to be a pair of eyes full of scrutiny, looking him up and down.

"Coach Wang Tomorrow ......."

Eric is 20 years old, 1.88 meters tall, weighs 89 kilograms, and the NBA template is Kenyon Dorin, and the draft website says that despite his lack of outstanding height, Bledsoe has incredible speed and an excellent reach that can make a difference in athletic combat.

But in fact, the freshman Bledsoe performed very well, averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game throughout the season, and was named to the Sports News Best Rookie Team.

In the NCAA Championships, Bledsoe averaged 15.3 points per game while shooting 58.8 percent from the field and 47.4 percent from three-point range. He scored a career-high 29 points against Eastern Tennessee in the first round of the tournament, including 8-of-9 three-pointers, a school-record number of three-pointers made in a single game.

This shows that Bledsoe has athleticism and shooting ability.

It's just that the Kentucky Five Tigers and the light of the guards have been suppressed by John Wall, and Bledsoe's corresponding exposure is much less, and many people don't know him very well.

Wang tomorrow thinks that the impact on the Kings bench is insufficient, and the arrival of Bledsoe can just make up for this shortcoming.

What's more, he found through the probe that Bledsoe has as much potential as S-level, has grown well, and is also an excellent All-Star level player, among the remaining players, he is definitely excellent.

Bledsoe walked up to the front desk, took the microphone, and was speechless with excitement.

During the tryout, Bledsoe performed poorly, and after the three-point line was expanded, he developed symptoms of a general NCAA outside player, with inconsistent shooting.

Bledsoe was questioned.

Bledsoe took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Thank you to my teammates, my coaches, my loved ones, my friends, those who always believe in me and support me. ”

"The Kings are the defending champions, they've achieved incredible things, playing on a championship team has been a dream of mine for a long time and I can't wait to play in Sacramento now........."

In the box on the second floor, Wang Ming turned around with a smile and said to the teaching assistants.

"This little guy is good, and his emotional intelligence is okay."

The draft still goes on, and as the draft progresses, some trades come up.

The Heat freed up $43 million in salary space by trading guard Daquin Cook and the 18th pick in the first round with the Thunder, and the 18th pick the Thunder selected Patrick Patterson to further enhance their team's interior depth.

For the upcoming free market, the whole league is frantically emptying salary space.

The Knicks, the Heat, the Bulls, one shouting the big market slogan, the other shouting the brother basketball slogan, it seems, everyone is ready for LeBron James to come to the ground.

At this time, the stands "inexplicably" sounded the sound of "vuvuzula" in the World Cup, which immediately attracted the attention of the audience, including the rookies who were still running, only to see a young man in the Nets fan group excitedly blowing vuvuzzula, and his female classmates also raised the prepared Nets flag, they were all students from a local middle school in Newark, who came to watch the draft at their own expense.

What's more interesting is that perhaps because the French team was eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup early, some fans wearing the uniforms of the French football team were held at the draft site.

“Go home！”

American fans booed.

With the 26th pick in the first round, the Kings selected the unknown Hassan Whiteside.

Whiteside has a 7-foot-7 reach, the first of any rookie this season, and is very physical.

However, he himself suffers from coming from a low-level league, and during the tryout, he showed a lack of strength, lateral movement ability, and other problems that are considered more serious in the NBA.

Whiteside is as thin as a bamboo pole, and Wang Mingming's choice of Whiteside is still from the perspective of potential.

"It's a seedling that needs to be honed well." Several assistant coaches believe that Wang Tomorrow is engaged in long-term investment, and a good center is not so easy to develop, but fortunately, Whiteside is very young and malleable is still there.

Whiteside, who had predicted that he would be selected in the second round, is now moving forward by a dozen places, and is very excited, and Bledsoe is of the same nature.

The first-round draft was all over, and Daniel Alton of the University of Kentucky was selected by the Magic with the 29th pick.

So far, all five Kentucky players have been selected for the first round, becoming the best of the 90 players participating in this year's draft, and creating a new history in the NBA.

It can be said that the record was set before the game was played.

With the fourth pick in the second round, the Kings selected Lance Stephenson, a swingman from the University of Cincinnati.

Wang Mingming's amazing behavior at the draft meeting is definitely not Wang Mingming's family, Wang Mingming just selected some unpopular players, and the operation of some players is really incomprehensible.

For example, the Nets, who selected Derrick Fevers with a draft pick. After that, the Nets had two picks, No. 27 and No. 31, but unexpectedly, they traded 2-for-1 and traded those two picks for the Hawks' No. 24 pick, Damai James.

There are also such as the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers completed the trade, and in fact, before the Trail Blazers and Kings traded, the two were in a relationship. Portlanders sent small forward Webster in exchange for the Timberwolves' No. 16 pick and Ryan Gomez, and then the Trail Blazers used the No. 16 pick to select a small forward Luke Babbitt, Babbitt is not small, is Nedahua's rising star, originally the Warriors said that the sixth pick would choose him, but it turned out all the way upset and fell out of the lottery.

Webster averaged 9.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game last season, which was a mediocre performance, while Ryan Gomez averaged 10.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last season.

The Trail Blazers sent away a small forward and chose a small forward, and they have a paranoid love for small forwards.

The Chinese media, on the other hand, are concerned about the situation in the Arab Emirates.

The Nets chose Favors, and due to the same position, the arrival of Favors has made the future of the United Arab Emirates at the Nets delicate. Especially after three years of hard work to maintain the starting position, the UAE will give way to Favors without any suspense.

The Nets have been experimenting with a twin-tower strategy in recent years, but the combination of Lopez and the UAE has not been successful, and the two have little chemistry to speak of. Favors is a good complement to Lopez with his explosive power and more balanced offensive and defensive capabilities, and the Nets' twin towers for the new season are about to come out.

The UAE is in a bleak situation, with multiple rumors of being sold by the team on the eve of the draft, and a few hours before the draft, according to media reports, the Nets also came close to making a deal with the Pacers, including the UAE.

To add insult to injury, Favors completely ignored the UAE. The New Jersey Post interviewed the show for the first time. Throughout the interview, Fevers said that Brook Lopez has a lot to learn from him, and said nothing about his rival to the Nets, Yi Jianlian.

After the draft was over, the King received a lot of emails about the Kings players being traded. Some are for reinforcement, but most are for the sake of clearing salary space.

He seems to see that the hottest free market in NBA history is coming.
