On June 27, 2013, the NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This year's rookies are not very good overall, and the only guy who stands out is the center of the University of Kentucky, Nolens Knoll, but he was injured before March Madness and suffered a torn meniscus that will take at least eight months to recover after surgery.

As a result, Knoll's draft market plummeted, and all of a sudden no one dared to say who would be in the top three.

Then, probably thinking that James was crazy, Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert chose the supposedly three-and-four-capable power forward, Anthony Bennett.

Not to mention Liu Ren, the first time Chinese heard the name Anthony Bennett, he wanted to ask who this guy was, and most American fans didn't know this goods.

Liu Ren heard that Bennett was elected champion for the first time, and he deliberately sent the information of this champion Lang, who was later called the most watery champion in history, really even if he didn't know his future ending, Liu Ren also wanted to ask Gilbert why he chose him?

Bennett didn't play in a top-tier league team during his college years, and the West Hills League, where he leads the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is more than a little bit away from March Madness.

The distance between them and the Division I league is about the distance between the NBDL and the NBA, and to say that Bennett's college team is in the league is an amateur player, but it is a very strong group of amateur players because they have a group of black players who can run and jump.

But that's it, Bennett is not much in this league, and the data is not very dripping, averaging 16 points and 8 boards per game.

Was it because he was named to the Basketball Authors Association's All-American All-American Team? This association has the same status in the NCAA as the West Mountain League...... Amateur.

Liu Ren obviously didn't understand Gilbert's thoughts, and Gilbert wouldn't say why Bennett was chosen later, and why Bennett was chosen this time was still a mystery when Liu Ren traveled back.

"It seems that my arrival has not caused any butterfly effect for the time being." Liu Ren thought while brushing his teeth while watching the live broadcast of the draft.

Liu Ren ate some snacks that he was used to in Suzhou, visited some places he used to frequent, and continued his journey, preparing to go to those places he wanted to go to before but had no money or time to visit.

Today is June 28th, domestic time, and the draft meeting started in the morning in China, Liu Ren got up early to wash his face and brush his teeth, just to see if the draft conference was affected because of himself, it seems that he has obviously not been affected in any way, and his influence is limited to the three or four teams that want to get him.

He had already received an email from Hanni Chen and knew which teams wanted to get him.

Spur...... It's a team he wants to go to, and he doesn't have to worry about getting playing time when he goes to the Spurs, but Chen Hanni's tone doesn't seem to like that place, and the offer is really insincere, and staying with the Lakers is more attractive to him, so he acquiesced to Chick's approach.

Liu Ren was a little surprised to see that the Rockets, Hawks, and Raptors were all interested in him, but he didn't expect so many teams to be interested in him, and it seems that his market is not bad.

Kupchak has already made an appointment with Hanni Chen for negotiations, and on July 10, before the start of the draft, Howard issued a statement that he would announce his decision on July 7, the seventh day after the start of free agency.

Kupchak will have to confirm Howard's presence before deciding whether to rebuild or continue to fight for the title.

However, Liu Ren doesn't have to worry about whether he can stay on the team, no matter what lineup the Lakers have, they lack his type of forward.

The draft continued, and the people selected in the later order were not different from Liu Ren's memory.

The Magic selected Oladipo with the second pick, and Noll was selected by the Pelicans with the sixth pick, becoming the No. 1 rookie in Pelicans team history.

Then, less than a minute, it was officially announced that he had been traded to the 76ers in exchange for All-Star point guard Holiday Holiday.

Immediately after the 76ers selected Michael Carter Williams with the 11th pick, the Bucks selected Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick, and then very late, with the 46th pick in the second round, the Lakers selected "Kaishou" Ryan Carey.

Seeing that Kaihuang was selected by the Lakers, Liu Ren was relieved, there are two cores of Kaihuang Kaili and Saty Thackeray in the team, which is reassuring!

The towel wielding man finally has a ...... Liu Ren looked at the current lineup of the Lakers and was a little confused, and looked forward to those young people who would come to the team to support in the summer.

Howard must be gone, Jamison seems to be going to the boat next door to hug his thigh, Nash can't play a few games a year, Kobe Bryant played two months before he came back, and because he was too anxious to come back, he was injured again after playing a few games, which means that last season's starters were directly reduced by half, and the first interior substitute was gone, which is really declining.

However, the situation is only like this for the time being, and Liu Ren can only wait for Howard's decision.

Since you have to wait, why worry, Liu Ren already knew that Howard would leave, so he traveled in China without any pressure, ate a lot of snacks in Chengdu, took a lot of photos in Guilin, and saw the grandeur of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an......

……

On July 7, he took a plane back to Los Angeles on the day the Lakers met with Howard, and the meeting between the Lakers and Howard had already ended when he met Chen Hanni who picked him up at the airport in several games.

Not surprisingly, Howard turned down the Lakers' five-year, $110 million contract.

However, Howard's choice of the next home surprised everyone, including the team he chose, who was dumbfounded.

"Damn!" When Morey knew that Howard had chosen them, he almost jumped up and scolded his mother!

He actually poached Howard!

Lakers, Mavericks, Rockets, Warriors, the four teams competing for Howard, whether it is the lineup or the market, the Rockets do not have an advantage at all.

But Howard just chose the rocket!

Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, didn't know what attracted Howard to them, and he never thought that he would be able to dig up such a superstar, otherwise he would have handed the Bulls a poison contract to poach Asik.

If he had known that Howard could be traded, Jeremy Lin and Asik would not have dug any of them, offended people in vain, and now he had to find a way to send them away!

With Howard, it's definitely time to change the team-building strategy, from fighting for a playoff spot to competing for a championship.

When Harden was first poached, Morey just wanted to get an All-Star, and who knew Harden could play that well? Now they have become the most powerful contenders for Kobe's successor, and they are regarded as the most favorable candidates for the first quarterback in the future.

Howard probably chose the Rockets because of Harden's potential.

Morey can only be bitter and happy about this, forming a combination of Howard and Harden, which is a very important part of his professional resume, but because of this, there is a gap with the Lakers management, and it is not so easy to renew the relationship.

Regardless of the fact that Morey is trying to find a way to get on good terms with Kupchak, Liu Ren has finally officially started negotiations with the Lakers.
