Chapter 281 [Signs]
Ten days later, the annual NBA Draft began.
The evaluation of this draft is not as good as last season, and the two interior stars who have attracted the most attention, Dwight? Howard and Emeka? Okafor, they will compete for the top spot.
Abby went to the scene, and Wang Jun and his sister watched live TV at home, and although the Nets didn't have a first-round pick, he still wanted to see who was drafted in the second round, perhaps a teammate next season.
The Magic dropped Okafor, known as the instant power, in favor of high school player Howard, and although it would cause displeasure in the team's core Maddie, management decided to take the risk.
There is a lesson from Kwame Brown, and almost no one dares to touch the inside line of high school students. Howard's fame in high school was not very great, relying on his athletic talent, and his dribbling and shooting were inferior.
Okafor was a proud player in the NCAA who had already played out, and the Magic looked at Okafor and gave up on him. HE IS REGISTERED TO BE 210CM TALL, AND HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY WEAR SHOES AT 208CM.
Okafor was picked up by the newly formed Charlotte Bobcats, who will join the NBA Eastern Conference as the 30th team next season.
With the exception of the two first-round and second-round picks, the Bobcats' other players were selected from a roster of unprotected players provided by 29 teams, making it difficult to pick a strongman. Okafor joined, and the Bobcat owner and president were very satisfied, and they definitely made him the core of the team.
The Bulls chose scorer Ben Gordon, who has strong breakouts and jump shots, but his disadvantage is that he is only 191CM tall in shoes, and his style is that he is a scoring guard, and he will probably have flaws on the defensive end.
Livingston, known as the next "Magic", was selected by the Clippers with the fourth pick, a 201CM tall point guard, and he is also a high school player.
The fifth Wang Jun is very familiar. Defeated in college, "Scud" guard Devin Harris. If you shoot badly, you will break through and break fast.
Wang Jun couldn't help but complain to his sister: "This guy who was defeated by me in a row in college entered the league a year later and actually entered the fifth in the league. It's unreasonable. ”
"You've proven them wrong." Le Ying said proudly.
Indeed, it is not Wang Jun who is uncomfortable now, but the managers who missed him.
The Eagles picked Childis for sixth, a swingman with excellent quality.
The Bulls selected Lore Deng with the seventh pick, a 206CM small forward with amazing athletic talent.
Did the Raptors pick Brazilian center Rafael? Arauyo, this person's prediction is relatively low, and he broke out the upset.
The 76ers selected Iguodala, the best rookie jumper, with rough shooting skills. The body is energetic and has cultivation value.
When it was the Cavaliers' turn, they picked white small forward Luke with the 10th pick? Jackson.
It's a completely incomprehensible choice, and although Luke has good university stats, he is not fast and of average height. If there's anyone he's more like, it's Capono, who was drafted by the Cavaliers last season, so bad that he was thrown into the unprotected list and may be drafted by the Bobcats.
Now Luke is selected, and it is still such a high priority. With James here, isn't it sick to find a high-pick rookie to play as a substitute?
The Cavaliers management is so brain-dead, James collapsed directly when he saw the draft results at home.
Although he said that he wanted to partner with a pitcher, he was referring to Wang Jun. It's not about finding a rookie to gamble on luck.
Many insiders and swing people were selected behind, Wang Jun was not familiar with it, and he didn't know what the level was.
The Lakers picked a handsome Slovenian guy. His name was Vujasic, and he was a pitcher.
After being thrown to death by a three-point rain on the outside of the Nets in the finals. Lakers management is aware of the importance of pitchers.
Wang Jun's acquaintance, who had competed against point guard Du Hong in college, fell to the second round before being selected by the Bulls.
Dujon was a man of God. At the beginning, he was very optimistic, he could participate in the NBA draft in his first year, and he had to play a few more years in college, and he didn't want to make money if he had money. As a result, his draft prediction fell out of the lotto, fell out of the first round, and now the second round has fallen to ninth place, and he will definitely not be able to sign a big contract.
The 17th place in the second round was also a highlight, and the Trail Blazers chose South Korean player, center Ha Seung-jin. Looking at the photos and introductions given at the draft meeting, this man's face looks like a hippopotamus.
I don't know what the level is, if Ha Seung Jin can play, soon the NBA will be South Korea's Smecta.
The Nets picked a small forward Christian in the 22nd? Dreje.
Wang Jun was very surprised, and said strangely: "It seems that there is no need to say hello, I don't think this guy can stay at all." ”
Le Ying asked, "Why?" ”
"There are too many swing people in our team, why are you choosing this person for?" Wang Jun suddenly felt as if something was wrong. The thought of the word "deal" made him a little depressed.
Could this be a sign?
After the Nets won the championship, unlike all other teams, there was no even a championship parade, which seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen. It's so strange that the reinforcement is now incomprehensible.
NBA players are very liquid, and there will definitely be summer trades, the question is who will be traded?
Wang Jun shook his head.
What do you want to do with all this?
These things were not for him to think about. What he should do is focus on playing basketball and get a big contract.
Le Ying saw his strange expression and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing, I just don't know what's going to happen to the team, it's not a big deal."
The NBA Draft is over, free agency is on, and big things happen quickly.
The first big deal came from Rocket and Magic.
Maddie was dissatisfied with the team's refusal to select Okafor, and the Magic did even more desperately, so they traded Maddie away.
Rockets send "Boss" Steve? Francis, "Old Cat" Mobley and center Cato, in exchange for two-time scoring champions Maddy and Juwan? Howard, Tyrone Lue and Lacey? Guyness.
"Yao Mai Combination" was born. The Houston fans began to cheer.
Maddie plays with a dashing and elegant ball, and even her sleepy eyes reveal a sexy charm. He is the darling of the league, much more superstar than Francis, and the two-time scoring champion partner is a rising star on the inside, reminiscent of the "OK combination".
Not to be outdone, the Lakers quickly grabbed the news pages.
They traded with the Heat, sending star O'Neal, who had one year left on his contract, and got three Heat starters, Caron Butler, Ramal Odom, Brian Grant and a future first-round pick.
The Heat got a superstar as they wished, and the interior line has a pivot, which can stimulate the home box office even more.
The Lakers got Odom, the second-rate star of the year, and Butler, a fierce player with great potential, and only Grant was slightly inferior, and he won with a lot of playing experience. The Lakers sent O'Neal away and lost the present, but they can gamble on the future.
Then, the Lakers renewed Kobe's seven-year, $136 million contract, which is the largest single contract in NBA history. And Kobe Bryant has a trade veto in the contract, which shows the Lakers' determination to correct Kobe.
The Pistons also made a big move, signing Argentine swingman Delfino and bringing in Anthony? McDyce, the strength has improved again.
McDyce is a talent ruined by injuries, with a peak of 20+12, and is still an excellent interior lineman, and there is no problem playing as a substitute.
The Pacers are actively looking for a replacement for Miller, and they signed Hawks swingman Stephen? Jackson, last season 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 steals.
Jackson is a quasi-star, who is good offensively and defensively, and can shoot three-pointers.
The strength of the three major competitors in the East has increased greatly, but the Nets have not made any moves, but suddenly announced that the team has changed owners, and Lewis has withdrawn from playing. (To be continued.) )
