Chapter 681: The draft is over

This year's NBA draft began to mess up after Zhuang Fei grabbed the goal of the Suns, most of the teams that already had goals had to temporarily change their goals because of the previous team, and none of these teams that temporarily changed their goals were willing to take over the interior of Serbia and Montenegro Milicic, the 18-year-old European interior player was considered to be able to absolutely enter the top three before the draft began, and now it has been seven rounds, and now no one wants to choose him, It's conceivable how much of an embarrassment would have been for an 18-year-old sitting in a small green room, but for a player like Milicic, there was no way he would fall out of the lotto zone, even if the first seven teams were unwilling to accept him, and soon, the teams willing to pick him appeared.

This year, the Bucks, who have the No. 8 pick, used the team's No. 8 pick to select this Serbian and Montenegro insider, and Zhuang Fei and the following people obviously felt that the Serbian and Montenegro interior looked ugly when he came to the stage, perhaps for him, he himself did not expect such twists and turns in this year's draft, even the French forward swingman has been selected, and he is no one wants, of course, no matter how tortuous the process is, in the end he can still be selected in the early stage of the lotto, which is also a happy thingIn fact, there is also a European interior Marchilampe sitting in the small green room at this time, he was considered to be the fifth to be selected before the draft, and now it seems that he is also below his predicted draft pick, and unlike Milicic, this technical interior who was considered to be very capable of attacking with the ball in the scouting report is now more embarrassing than Milicic's problems, because he has fallen out of the lottery area and no one wants to choose.

After the Bucks selected Serbia-Montenegro Milicic with the eighth pick, the Houston Rockets selected German Chris Kaman with the ninth pick, while the Suns selected talented forward Michael from Georgetown University with the 10th pick in their second lottery pick this year. Sweetney, who was also Iverson and Mourning's apprentice at Georgetown University, and after the Suns, the Utah Jazz, who have the 11th draft pick this year, have chosen another Serbia-Montenegro interior lineman, Alexander. Pavlovich, although he is not as good as Milicic in terms of talent, is also a very high-quality international insider.

"The Miami Heat used 12 good draft picks to choose Josh Howard, a forward from Wake Forest University" Just when David Stern finished reading this paragraph, Zhuang Fei obviously felt that the body of the Heat head coach Pat Riley next to him was shaking, this No. 12 pick is the draft pick that the Boston Celtics used Oku to exchange from the Bulls last season, although it also belongs to the lotto, but for Zhuang Fei, this 12-pick lottery is a bit tasteless and embarrassing to abandon, Because he didn't need players who could be selected with the No. 12 pick, because in addition to Wade. He only needs to add one or two shooters, and these two shooters naturally don't need such a high pick, you know, the higher the player's rank, the higher the salary, although these millions are nothing for the Boston Celtics, but it is obvious that Zhuang Fei does not need to be so extravagant. Finally at the request of Pat Riley. The Heat traded cash to the No. 12 pick in Zhuang Fei's hand, which can be regarded as Pat Riley owing him a favor again, according to the current trend, it is estimated that even if the Heat has a champion sign next time, as long as Zhuang Fei is willing, he will be able to let Pat Riley give it with both hands.

"Congratulations, Josh is a very good player" Zhuang Fei looked at the somewhat excited Pat Riley and said with a smile, Josh Howard is a Wake Forest graduate player, although this Wake Forest University forward is not as good as the previous Duncan Carter or even Joe Johnson. But obviously, as long as he has the sign of Wake Forest, he does not need to worry about his draft prospects, you must know that there are many teams in the NBA that like to collect players produced by Wake Forest, and even many teams are willing to collect players who have played under Zhuang Fei, and Pat Riley is such a person.

"Yes, Zhuang. I know, I know he's an absolutely underrated player, he can be in the top 10 of all rookies this year, but the league didn't let him into the little green room, it's definitely a mistake, but I like this mistake" Pat Riley also nodded a little excitedly after hearing Zhuang Fei's words. He has been studying Josh Howard for a long time, since he studied Zhuang Fei in 1995 he has been a die-hard Wake Forest University fan, in this case, he has maintained the habit of watching a Wake Forest game every week, in this case he knows much better about Wake Forest players than Zhuang Fei now, Zhuang Fei may now be able to judge Josh Howard with the eyes of future generations, but now Pat Riley is able to directly judge the forward player from Wake Forest.

"But that's just one thing. It's still a little bit away from you getting together five small forwards," Zhuang Fei, who was extremely excited, said with a smile, since Zhuang Fei defeated the Grizzlies with a five-point tactic in the Eastern Conference Finals, the head coach of the Heat has also been asking Zhuang Fei for some experience, although this tactic was invented by him. But in terms of experience, Zhuang Fei is naturally more, after all, although Pat Riley invented this tactic, but he has never used it, in this case, he naturally cannot be compared with Zhuang Fei, and the recent head coach of the Heat does intend to copy the tactics of the Boston Celtics' five small forwards, if according to the current team configuration of the Heat, at least three small forwards are needed, in addition to Josh Howard, two are needed.

"Hehe, it's going to get better" Pat Riley also smiled after hearing Zhuang Fei's words, but the look on his face betrayed him, Zhuang Fei could guess that the head coach of the Heat had his own plans. And now the Heat do have a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

Of course, in addition to Pat Riley's selection of Josh Howard from Wake Forest in the 12th pick, the Hornets, who have the 13th pick, chose David West from Xavier University, and with David West being selected, all 13 lottery players this year have also been produced, and at this time there are still 3 players left in the Little Green House.

And then the 76ers selected Nick Collison with the No. 14 pick, which is one of the remaining three little green house players, and is also a high-quality interior player in the NCAA, who has good offensive and defensive skills and good planning and passing ability.

The 15th pick of the Pacers chose Jarvis. Hayes, who is a talented small forward and one of the three remaining little green house players, is clearly hoping that the Pacers will be able to replace Joe Johnson as a small forward and replace Reggie Miller, so to speak, in a sense, this small forward is Miller's replacement.

The 16th pick of the Warriors chose the University of Las Vegas playmaker Marcus Banks, although the Warriors have Anthony Walker and Larry Hughes two big guns, but still lack a player who can organize the offense, so recently the Warriors have been looking for a real playmaker, and then completely unleash Larry Hughes's firepower.

As David Stern announced the results of this year's draft one by one, the players selected by each team this year were also finalized, the Los Angeles Lakers chose a shooter Brian Cook with the twentieth pick, the Heat at the 22nd pick chose an all-round forward Boris Dior, and the Timberwolves unexpectedly chose a Chinese player with their No. 23 pick, Xue Yuyang, the 21-year-old Chinese player was favored by the Timberwolves owner again, according to the media's draft predictions, The Chinese is unlikely to make it to the first round, and most of the media predicted him to be outside the 50s, but it is clear that the Timberwolves did not let this happen.

In addition to the Timberwolves, the Mavericks, who have the No. 24 pick, chose a pitcher, Delfino, and the No. 25 pick of the Wizards chose Anthony's teammate Stephen Blake at the University of Maryland, which is also to choose a bench for Nash and a pitcher for the Wizards, and there are really many excellent pitchers in this year's rookies.

The 26th pick of the Kings chose Pachulia from Europe in this draft because of Divac's unexpected retirement, while the 27th pick of the Grizzlies chose the defensive interior Perkins, and the Spurs used the 28th pick to choose Barbosa, a guard from Brazil, who was obviously also prepared to help Parker, and in this year's finals, the Spurs exposed a lot of problems on the guard line.

After the Spurs selected, Zhuang Fei's Celtics chose a point guard with the 29th pick, and Mo Williams is also the only more orthodox playmaker in the Boston Celtics, which can be regarded as Zhuang Fei's reserve for the team's No. 1 position, but because of Wade's existence, it is difficult for Mo Williams to have too many opportunities to possess the ball. In addition to Zhuang Fei's selection of Mo Williams at the 29th pick, the 58th pick also selected a pitcher Kyle Korver, in addition to Zhuang Fei's second round, the Heat selected James Jones at the 51st pick, while the Spurs selected Matt Bonner at the 57th pick, and the Lakers selected Luke Wharton at the 49th pick. At this point, this year's NBA draft is also over.

The Boston Celtics, on the other hand, gained Wade, Morsera Williams and Kyle Cornwall in this year's draft.

It's just a few days after the draft ended, but the signing of two players that shocked the whole United States happened.
