"The championship team?"

I have to say, this is an extremely heartwarming word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Dong is not very old, and he is very aware of the teachings, so after listening to what Joe Thomas said, he also remained silent.

Halfway through, he licked his chapped lips and said, "Joe, but this doesn't seem to be in line with NBA rules, right?" If the alliance finds out, it will be fined. ”

Joe Thomas smiled wryly, "Who's to say it's not." ”

Li Dong thought for a while and said: "I don't think we need to be in a hurry now, after all, the NBA's regular season is still more than a week away, and the draw is still early. Now that they are talking so happily with the Thunder, it will be in vain that they can't get a certain priority when the time comes. ”

Joe Thomas gave Li Dong a thumbs up, "Correct!" So Clay and I just dealt with it casually a few times, and didn't promise anything substantial, and when the time came, we tried out, or according to the order. ”

"Oh, by the way, when it comes to tryouts, I think you should pay attention to it." Joe Thomas said solemnly.

Li Dong immediately sat up straight and made a look of wishing to hear the details.

"Well, it's not that exaggerated, take it easy, boy." Joe Thomas leaned back on the couch and said.

"I don't know if you've heard the story of the magic training camp back then?" Joe Thomas paused, as if thinking about how to organize his language.

Then, he slowly told the story, "The '93 draft was a draft full of talents, Chris Webb, Anfernee Hardaway, and Sean Bradley, Alan Houston, alien Cassel and others. ”

Li Dong was embarrassed, among so many people, he seemed to have only heard the names of Chris Webb and Anfernee Hardaway, but he still pretended to understand very well and nodded frequently.

"Chris Webb, the top pick, played a monster in college, contributing 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks every night......

Speaking of which, Li Dong showed a look of surprise on his face for the first time, such data is too terrifying, there is no such player among the players who may participate in the NBA draft this year.

Joe Thomas continued: "And the magic of the year was drawn to the top pick. Orlando, who was favored by the goddess of fate, drew the top pick for the second year in a row, you know, they used the top pick to pick out the most terrifying interior "big shark" Shaquille O'Neal in 92, he proved his dominance in his rookie season in the NBA, and became the interior line that all guard players want to partner the most. So at that time, Anfernee Hardaway was no exception, and he wanted to go to Orlando to partner the big shark. ”

So he spoke on the phone with John Gabriel, the Orlando Magic's affairs officer, who asked him to come to the arena for a tryout Monday morning. And in that trial, "Penny" Hardaway used various tricks to destroy Anthony Bowe, the Magic's best outside defender at the time. ”

"I think you know what happened next." Joe Thomas laughs.

Li Dong's face darkened, thinking that I know a hair.

Fortunately, the old man seemed to be unsatisfied, and continued to tell the story: "Later, the Magic and the Golden State Warriors reached an agreement to trade Chris Webb for Anfernee Hardaway and three draft picks on the day of the draft, which became the hottest news in the NBA. ”

Li Dong said in disbelief: "The champion was traded on the day of the draft? ”

"Not bad." Joe Thomas said with a smile.

Joe Thomas said to Li Dong earnestly, "So, Lee. You have to be prepared that in the NBA, everything is business, and until you have enough prestige, the league has no favor for you, and the rookie with the high pick is at best a high-potential item, and in front of enough chips, it will still be traded like a commodity. ”

"If one day, you get traded by your team, you have to be prepared, because that's what every NBA player goes through, unless you bring enough benefits to the team, or you've become the totem of the team, the symbol of the team to the outside world, like Kobe Bryant, like Tim Duncan."

Li Dong nodded matter-of-factly, indicating that he had memorized it carefully.

The two people, one old and one young, kept chatting, and Li Dong's understanding of the NBA deepened step by step.

……

On the evening of April 16, the NBA regular season of the 14-15 season officially ended.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came out on top to finish their worst season of the season, followed by the New York Knicks. According to the rules, the chances of the two teams getting the top pick are 25 percent and 19.9 percent, respectively, followed by the 76ers at 15.6 percent, the Lakers at 10.4 percent, and the Magic at 10.3 percent.

As for the Kings, Nuggets, Pistons, Hornets and the like are further behind, and even when it comes to the Thunder in ninth place in the West, the probability is only a pitiful 0.5 percent, and even Oklahoma City's own fans can't believe that they will draw the champion, even though they have done this thing with a low probability of drawing the champion before.

The lottery draw will be held on May 18, and before the teams that finished the 14-15 season have begun preparations for trial camps, such as Li Dong, who is the favorite in this year's draft, has already received more than one tryout invitation from an NBA team.

On April 17, Li Dong officially submitted an application to the NBA league to participate in the 2015 draft before the deadline for early registration.

The media rushed to report on this matter, which also caused a lot of shock, compared with the previous heavy speculation of the grapevine, the persuasiveness of this matter is obviously more real, Li Dong was interviewed by Yahoo and several other media in the cheap rental house rented by Lawrence himself.

"I chose to be in the NBA Draft because of my desire for this league," he said. Growing up watching NBA stars play since I was very young, I love the feeling there, it's the pinnacle of professional basketball. Of course, I also love Lawrence, I love the University of Kansas, there are teammates who love me, I love my classmates, I love my teachers, I spent unforgettable years here, and I will remember it for the rest of my life. ”

The University of Kansas fans seemed sensible, and Kelly Oubre and Li Dong made it clear that they would not stay in college because they had behaved like pros for the previous year, so they sent their blessings to the two people who participated in the draft on social media networks.

And the other universities in the same Big Twelve Conference are celebrating the crown, and Kansas can still dominate the NCAA without these two big players? So as soon as this year's tournament ended, they were already thinking about next year's team results......

University of Kansas Vice Chancellor Alina issued a statement: The University of Kansas will always remember these children who brought honor to the University of Kansas, their efforts and performances are obvious to all, and sincerely wish the three of them success in the draft, and then become excellent professional basketball players, and continue to give wonderful games to basketball fans.

Then, the NBA playoffs of the 14-15 season officially began, and the attention of fans shifted from the NCAA to the NBA battlefield.

At the end of the two rounds, the Cavaliers, the favorite to win the championship, swept the Bulls, a strong team in the East, 4-2, and played the Hawks, who were the first in the East in the regular season.

However, the Spurs, who won the championship last year in the West, fought seven games with the Los Angeles Clippers and were finally eliminated in the first round. The Rockets reversed the Clippers 4-3, and the Western Conference finals will face the Golden State Warriors.

On June 25, the NBA held a grand lottery ceremony inside the Barclays Center.

Fans, team representatives, and team affairs officers were present, and ESPN live-streamed the draw ceremony. Knicks head coach Derrick Fisher was on hand to participate in the lottery, which attracted a lot of attention from New York fans, and other teams such as the Timberwolves sent Andrew Wiggins, who had just won the Rookie of the Year award......

Li Dong went to the school's gymnasium to practice basketball for a while, and then returned to the dormitory to watch the game.

He turned on the TV and watched it, just in time for the announcement of the first three picks, the Lakers' Mitch Kupchak, 76ers owner Ed Snyder, and the Timberwolves' Andrew Wiggins were invited to the stage as the last three teams.

Kupchak looked confident, the Kupchak family had deep pockets, and believed that they were really destined for it. Wiggins is at a loss, he has overfulfilled the task today, even if it is a flower sign, the general manager of the team may already be smiling. Schneider, on the other hand, has a serious face, the 76ers have a record for several consecutive seasons, and the significance of getting a first-round pick at this time is self-evident.
