A carnival for the whole city, a feast for 76ers fans all over the world.

Tang Wenlong's popularity has reached a peak, at least during this time, he has become the hottest star in the sport, surpassing Kobe Bryant and James, appearing on the front page of basketball websites around the world.

In China, Tang Wenlong has also deservedly become the hottest star, with handsome appearance, outstanding ball skills, unparalleled success, and rising influence. Countless merchants scrambled their heads, thinking about how to contact Tang Wenlong's agent, Joe Thomas, and how to get Tang Wenlong's nodding endorsement.

His jerseys were sold out of stock, his sneakers were sold out of size, and the spin-offs related to him were very hot, and all the talk was about him overnight.

Just after the victory parade and celebration, the 11-12 season officially ended, and Tang Wenlong ushered in the long-awaited holiday.

The tour guide of the Tang family tour group was instantly replaced by Tang Wenlong himself, and Tang Wenlong took time out to accompany his relatives and friends who had rarely crossed the ocean to wander around the United States and appreciate the exotic style of foreign countries.

Because of his participation in the finals, Tang Wenlong felt that the draft was approaching not long after the end of the season.

This is the 12th draft meeting, last year, Tang Wenlong did not go to the scene to participate, this year...... He still didn't have time. The 76ers were represented by general manager Stefanski, head coach Collins, No. 1 assistant coach Bob, and the team's cornerstone star Andre Iguodala.

Tang Wenlong was at the international airport in Philadelphia at this time. Reception of relatives who have flown in from the country. But this time. It was a relative from the Fang family, the two of them were waiting at the airport early, Fang Chuxia held Tang Wenlong's arm, and leaned his little face on Tang Wenlong's shoulder affectionately.

The previous pick has already been decided by lottery, and the draft is the two most important factors.

One is to pick the right and eye-catching rookies, and the other is to choose trades that are good for the team or help with the construction of the draft every year. It's going to be filled with a lot of deals, some jaw-dropping, some small deals that seem trivial now, but will be suffocating much later.

Not surprisingly, the Hornets, who have the No. 1 pick, chose Anthony Davis. Not long ago, the league-hosted Hornets finally found a new buyer of their own, Tom Benson, owner of the NFL Saints, for a total of $338 million. It's not too low, but I finally have a backing.

Anthony Davis, who has long hands and feet, smiled silly when he walked up to the stage to shake hands with Stern.

Then there's the bobcat. The choice was made for the physical small forward Michael Kidd Gilchrist, whose template was none other than Iguodala.

The Wizards, who had the pick in hand, chose Bradley Beal. The latter's scoring ability makes the Wizards' top brass salivate, and they are bent on forming a two-gun combination in the backcourt, at least it can cover up the weakness of Wall's average scoring ability, isn't it?

In the small green house, after the top three were selected, the other players inevitably showed a trace of regret on their faces. After all, it's all about basketball lovers.

Syracuse University's Vitesse was also the favorite for the top three before the game, and now that the top three have been confirmed, a trace of anxiety inevitably appeared on his round black face. The level of the pick not only affects the status of the rookie in the team, but also involves the issue of player salary, basically the higher the pick, the higher the salary.

Just when he was a little nervous, President Stern on the stage took out a small white note from the envelope and read out the name of the fourth pick player in a hurry.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, the player selected with the fourth pick is—"

"Dion Vitesse!"

Suddenly, the applause was thunderous, and the popularity of "Little Wade" was no worse than the previous three, especially since he was born in a prestigious school like Syracuse, and everyone expected him to grow into a superstar like the two previous senior brothers - Carmelo Anthony and Tang Wenlong.

On the stage, Vitesse stood up excitedly, the Cavaliers are a rebuilding team, and in such a team, he is bound to get a lot of playing opportunities and the team's careful training.

"I would like to thank Coach Jim for nurturing me, my parents for their hard work, and all my friends for supporting me." Vitesse came up with a string of thanks, his nose was sore, and he almost didn't shed tears of excitement, "The NBA is my dream, I didn't expect to be able to stand on such a stage one day, I have always been a fan of the Cavaliers, grateful to the Cavaliers, grateful to Cleveland." In the future, I will definitely improve my basketball level through harder study and training, and strive to become an influential person, just like Tang Wenlong, the predecessor of Syracuse. ”

The audience immediately caused a lot of exclamations, but at the same time, they also sent applause, comparable to Tang Wenlong? What a big breath, you know, that's a superstar who just won the championship!

Iguodala in the box also scoffed, although Vitesse is very high, but the potential is only potential after all, compared with an almost mature superstar like Tang Wenlong, the difference is like the Great Lakes versus the Pacific Ocean. However, it is difficult for young people to have such goals and determination, the draft meeting is a show, the reporters in the audience are shining, and they have already thought about tomorrow's news headline - Syracuse rookie is comparable to Tang Wenlong.

Then the draft was held in turn, and the Mavericks and Cavaliers fired the first round of the draft trade.

The Mavericks sent Tyler Zeller, the 17th pick, to the Cavaliers for the 22nd, 33rd, and 34th picks, and then selected Jared Cunningham, Bernard James, and Jay Crowder, who is also a college friend of Jimmy Butler, respectively.

Another Syracuse University player, Fab Melo, was drafted by the Celtics, and although he didn't make it to the 76ers, he was ranked as high as 22nd, and Fab Melo himself was satisfied, and he walked to the stage with a smile on his face.

The 76ers' draft pick was based on the record at the end of the first round, and after three whispers of the head coach, general manager and assistant coach, they finally selected Jeffrey Taylor of Vanderbilt University.

Jeffrey Taylor himself was speechless in surprise, he knew that his draft market was not high, and his physical fitness was only average compared to a bunch of black players who could run and jump. And the Philadelphia 76ers are the king team that has just won the championship, and selecting him in the first round clearly means that they are optimistic that he will become the puzzle piece of the team.

He didn't come to the audition to watch the live broadcast with his family in front of the TV. His parents, relatives and friends gave him applause, and he instantly burst into tears, stood up and hugged everyone.

"It's like a dream." Later, when Jeffrey participated in the interview, he said to the media.

"I can't believe that I have entered such an excellent team, this team is the best team in the world, with the strongest athlete in the league, Tang Wenlong, I will try to learn like my predecessors, work hard to improve myself, and learn to be a qualified NBA player......" (To be continued. )
