Before going to the draft, Roy went through two other big things.

The first is about the 2016 Rio Olympics, after Roy's stunning performance for the national youth team, the call for Roy to be selected for the national team to participate in the Rio Olympics has not stopped, especially after Roy became the favorite for the NBA draft, his popularity in China has reached its peak. But unfortunately, after weighing the pros and cons of the relevant departments, Roy was still not selected for the national team, and it seems that Roy will have to wait for a while to appear on the international stage.

The other thing is that Roy went to separate tryouts for the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks. Interestingly, none of the three teams have made it clear whether they will choose Roy, and their ambiguity also confirms how fierce the competition between Roy, Simmons, and Ingram is. And, more interestingly, Roy also bumped into Derrick Rose with the Knicks, who were recovering and planned to return to the NBA, and the Knicks offered him a tryout.

After saying these two things, there are big things, and a little bit of Roy's own small things.

After a few months of hard work on Roy's body, his "Athletic Superman" trait was upgraded to level 2, and now when he increases his "Physical Ability", the required attribute points can be reduced by 20%, and the effect of the next level can be increased to 30%.

Back to the point.

Nervous and excited, Roy, Ilan, and Su Dong got up and headed for New York, where they will meet with Bill Duffy for the draft.

June 24, 2016, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York City.

This year's NBA Draft will be held here.

As the favorite to win the top pick in this year's draft, Roy was rightfully invited to the scene, where he could enter the legendary "Little Green House" and wait for NBA commissioner Adam Shaw to read his name, accompanied by friends and family.

There are a total of 17 privileged rookies like Roy who can enter the "Little Green Room" this year, and in addition to the top three strongmen, there are also Roy's old acquaintances, Jaylen Brown, Chris Dern, Marquis Chris and Wade Baldwin, who have played in the Four Nations Invitational, as well as Skar Rabisier, Buddy Hield, Jacob Poeltl, Jamal Murray, Deyongta Davis, Henry Erenson and Malachi Richardson, and finally, It was Dragan Bender, Domantas Sabonis and Dejounte Murray, who met for the first time.

Several young people are all dressed in straight suits and look like people today. Expectation and apprehension were written on every player's face. For them, the draft is a gamble of life, and if they are selected in the ideal position, it will be a major blow if they are too low or even lost, and at least three of their 17 people will fall out of the "lotto zone", and the pressure is not small.

Even a Ben Simmons-caliber star would not dare to pat his chest and say that he would be drafted by some team, let alone anyone else.

NBA history is full of examples of on-the-spot substitutions and last-minute trades, and it's not uncommon for team general managers to make mistakes.

Among them, there are the "intended person" who is in a hurry after being "cut off", there are also random shots that suddenly have a short circuit in the brain, and there are short-sighted behaviors that sacrifice long-term plans for the sake of immediate interests.

Every general manager is a gambler, they are gambling, gambling on their vision, gambling on their luck, and gambling on their future.

Every rookie is just a commodity in the draft, and only the general managers of those teams can decide who they belong to, and the forced transfer of owners like Kobe Bryant back then has been explicitly banned in the current NBA.

So, even superstars like Scott Pippen and Dirk Nowitzki have experienced the tragedy of being traded away at the draft, and who can guarantee that their favorite team will choose them? If you choose your own team, you will definitely keep yourself?

The general managers of the NBA teams in the box are also a little nervous, as the helm of each team, they are burdened with the high expectations of the team owners and the majority of fans, the draft is not to be missed for them, you can make a name for yourself if you choose the right one, and you will undoubtedly become a laughing stock of the public if you choose the wrong one.

Think about how sad your life would have been if you had chosen Anthony Bennett or Kwame Brown and your life would have changed because of it. The general manager of this NBA team is not so easy to be.

The general managers (presidents) sent by the three teams with the top three draft picks this year are Jerry Colangelo, the general manager of the 76ers, Mitch Kupchak, the general manager of the Lakers, and Phil Jackson, the president of the Knicks and the famous "Zen master".

Divac and Juric are ready to call all three, and whoever picks Roy will be the first to complete the deal.

It's not that they don't want to make a deal early, but proposing a trade before the draft is often costly. Just like a piece of RMB, before buying a commodity, he is a thing that retains its value, and after exchanging it back, the value of this commodity is definitely not as good as his original price, which is the psychological warfare of the transaction.

Regardless of which team picks Roy, whether he's the first, second, or third pick, the value of that pick in their hands is definitely greatly diminished. At that time, the price to pay for talking about a deal will definitely be much smaller, and if it happens that no one chooses Roy along the way, it will be best to pick up a wallet for yourself.

The Phoenix Suns, the fourth pick in the draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves in the fifth, and even the Pelicans and Nuggets in the sixth and seventh places, everyone wants to try their luck.

Of course, this possibility is really small, who made this year a draft year, and there are only a few rookies that everyone can look up to.

However, in order to deceive others, some shrewd general managers will also use some tricks, such as asking a few familiar media reporters and commentators to write an article that confuses the public, or hiring some Internet trolls to hack their favorite people.

Ben Simmons, for example, was harshly criticized by Yahoo Sports' NCAA expert Kiwin two days before the draft, believing that Simmons was nothing more than a taller Rajon Rondo, or a more athletic Evan Turner, or simply a skinny version of Royce White (a player who no longer played in the NBA), in short, because Simmons did not lead the team to perform in "March Madness", his strength is very questionable.

Simmons can be hacked, and there are even more "doubts" and "smears" on Roy, such as the three labels on Roy: "from China", "high school graduate", "outside player", these three phrases alone can make a lot of articles, not to mention that Roy has never played in the NCAA, he has not even played in a professional league, there are too many materials that can be hacked.

Divac invited a lot of "gunners" Black Roy, the Kings have the eighth draft pick, Divac believes that he still has a chance to pick up the leak, he must make the first seven general managers "blind", so the off-board move is essential.

Since there are examples of Kobe Bryant being selected with the 13th pick (Kobe Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets with the 13th pick in 1996, but he was reluctant to report to the Hornets, and the Hornets later traded him for Divac with the Lakers), then what could not happen?

Compared to the Kings, the Hornets were the 22nd pick in the first round of the draft, and Qiu Ruik was undoubtedly more passive, and in order to reverse this decline, he had already started to plan to trade up for the draft pick before the draft began.

It's a pity that before Qiu Ruike had time to make a deal, Xiao Hua appeared on the stage, and the draft conference was about to officially begin......
