After Ye Hai was selected by the Green Shirts, the excited Chinese fans continued to focus on the remaining Chinese player, Cha Yicheng, and another well-known young player in Asia, Japan's Eiji Zebei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Lakers' third appearance, after sacrificing a season, but it has made the team's young players grow a lot, and Kupchak, who has ambitions for the future, chose the super point guard Zolon Pol, who almost single-handedly brought the team to the NCAA Final Four in the 2016-17 season.

The 1.96-meter-tall point guard with the best court vision of his peers will bring together the Lakers, who are full of talent, and strive to bring out the best in the team!

The Suns in the fourth draft, although they already have Dragan Bender at the power forward position, but his outside and lack of interior confrontation ability still make the Suns determined to continue to strengthen this position, and the style of play is strong, and Harry Gilles, who has the style of the 'little bully' Stoudemire, has won the favor of Ryan McDonald, the general manager of the Suns.

The fifth is the New Orleans Pelicans who have a vacuum at the small forward position, although Anthony Davis played another career masterpiece season, averaging 25.7 points per game, grabbing 12.2 rebounds, and 3.1 blocks, winning the second place in the blocking king and rebounding list, and the selected 2016 rookie Buddy Hield became an instant force, contributing an average of 13.4 points per game in his rookie season, but the barrel effect still allowed the Pelicans to only finish third from the bottom in the West.

The general manager of the Pelicans, Dale Danps, couldn't wait to use the fifth pick to select Mitchell Porter, a freshman at the University of Washington, an NCAA powerhouse, known as the best small forward in the United States! The small forward once scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 24 points and 12 rebounds in consecutive games against Duke University and the University of North Carolina in the NCAA tournament, leading the team to win two strong opponents in a row.

The sixth-place Knicks appeared, which surprised everyone, skipping the powerful American youth team captain Jayson Tatum, and instead chose the captain of the youth team, Che Yicheng! This choice came as a surprise to unsuspecting media. After all, for New York, both positions in the guard line actually need to be strengthened, but the Knicks did not choose Tatum, who is popular in the United States, to strengthen the scoring guard, but chose Chinese player Che Yicheng to strengthen the organizational guard.

This car Yicheng finally realized Ye Hai's mood, when his name came out of Xiao Hua's mouth, the big stone in his heart finally landed, after hugging his parents and congratulating Ye Hai and Zebei Rongji, Che Yicheng came to the stage and took over the New York cap, overjoyed!

Two talented Chinese players were selected with the top six picks at the same time, and the news brought great surprise to fans that Chinese basketball fans were excited!

At the same time, I am happy, and Xiao Hua, who stood on the stage and applauded, the huge influence of the Chinese market will finally usher in a new outbreak after Yao Ming's retirement!

The webcast also focused on Ye Hai and Cha Yicheng, who were sitting together wearing Boston and New York caps, respectively, recording this historic moment.

In a taxi in Jinling, a young fan was excitedly watching the live broadcast of the draft with his mobile phone, and when he saw the shot of Ye Hai and Che Yicheng taking a group photo, the little fan was so excited that he almost danced.

The driver was attracted by the excited appearance of the passenger in the passenger seat, and said with a smile: "What is so exciting, Chinese football has won?" ”

"Of course not!" The young fan held up his mobile phone in front of the driver and said, "China has another player who has been drafted into the NBA, but there are still two, and they are all very high." ”

The driver, who usually pays attention to basketball, glanced at the mobile phone screen when he heard this, and saw Ye Hai with a bright smile.

"Huh? Where do I think I've seen this man? The driver said suspiciously.

"It's normal, he is from Jinling, and he is the star player of Zijin Middle School, the high school here, and I will definitely enter this school to play in the future!" The little fan said with a look of longing.

"It's here!" With the reminder of the driver, the car came to the vicinity of Jinling International Airport, and after the little fans got off the bus, the driver who restarted the car accidentally saw the airport sign, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "It turned out to be that young man!" Oops, unbelievable! Unexpectedly, under my teaching, the prodigal son turned around and entered the NBA by playing basketball! ”

Thinking of this, the driver smiled happily and thought, "Good and good, another merit!" This can be regarded as a contribution to the cultivation of basketball talents for the country, hahaha. (For details, see the chapter above where Ye Hai went to the airport to chase Ji Yanran)

In the ongoing draft, the Sacramento Kings, who were seventh to play, decisively chose Jayson Tatum, who they thought was hopeless, and Vlad Divac, the general manager of the Kings, was overjoyed, as if he had picked up a treasure.

......

After the draft, in addition to Ye Hai and Che Yicheng, Japan's Eiji Zebei was also selected, and just like Wang Zhelin was selected by the Grizzlies last year, to the surprise of Chinese fans, Xu Zhibin and Liu Hao were also selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs in the second round.

The results of the draft are as follows:

First pick: Josh Jackson (19, 2.03m, small forward, USA) - Philadelphia 76ers

76ers fans are excited after the draft, and they will finally have a savior, Ben Simmons, who was reimbursed for the season before the start of last season, and Josh Jackson, 76ers fans can't wait for the start of the 2017-18 season.

When the media interviewed the 76ers' general manager Brian Cronjilo about the overlap of Ben Simmons and Josh Jackson, Cronjilo said that he did not have the slightest concern, because Ben Simmons can play power forward, and Josh Jackson can also play point guard, and the two are excellent and can coexist.

'They're both on the pitch at the same time, it's just going to improve each other's performances, and I'm convinced of that.' A year after the 76ers took charge, the son of the famous Jerry Longiro is determined to lead the 76ers to the bottom!

Second pick: Ye Hai (18 years old, 2.01m, small forward, China) - Boston Celtics

When selecting Ye Hai, fans still have questions, in the case of small forwards already have Jaylen Brown and Jack Crowder, whether it is redundant to choose Ye Hai, although Ye Hai's stunner and excellent performance in the World Youth Championships have also made many Green Army fans fall for it, and even the physical side results like the future superstar have also made fans look at this yellow man from China with admiration, but there are still many people who question this choice.

But not long after Ye Hai was selected, news spread on the Internet that Chris Paul would be traded to the Green Army, which made all the fans excited, but the topic of selecting Ye Hai was left out in the cold.

In the Paul trade, the Green Army's starting backcourt combination and potential rising star Jaylen Brown were traded, but the combination of El Horford + Chris Paul still made fans look forward to it, and they also understood why Danny Angie would pick Ye Hai because Jaylen Brown was leaving the team.

"Maybe it's a good choice, too." A long-time Celtic fan expressed a more pertinent attitude.

But soon some fans asked: "Judging from the trade, Chris Paul did not agree to sign and trade like Thomas Jr., does this mean that the team is at great risk and can only keep Paul for 1 season, just like when the Lakers traded 'Warcraft' Dwight Howard?" ”

After the fan raised the question, other fans also expressed concern.

As the team's chief advisor, Green Shirt legend Larry Bird came out and said: "We are very confident that we will keep Chris at the end of the season, and I am sure that our whole team will try to do that!" (To be continued.) )
