252, disappointed

The draft is over, and Wu Di also got a playmaking guard as he wished.

On top of that, he also used the draft picks the Raptors have to select several players with considerable potential.

As a result, the Raptors team helmed by Wu Jiao also had an extra group of rookies this year, which surprised other teams in the league.

Judging from the current roster of the Raptors, it seems that there is no need for such a big fanfare to select rookies, after all, with Dacomi Ricic and Vince Carter, the Raptors only need to strengthen one star player, and they are fully capable of embarking on the road of a strong team or even a championship.

But the fact is that the most beautiful female manager in the league did not do this, and she won 6 rookies at once, which is quite shocking.

As a result, on the official website of the NBA, the specific results of the Raptors' draft this year also appeared, which were:

No. 2 pick in the first round, Deron Williams.

18th pick in the first round, Danny Granger.

The 22nd pick in the first round, Nate Robinson.

The 37th overall pick in the second round, Monta Ellis.

The 44th overall pick in the second round, Louis Williams.

The 49th overall pick in the second round, Masingotat.

Such six players can be said to be spread across the five positions on the court, and for this reason, after the draft, some experts laughed that Wu Jiao selected a starting lineup for the Raptors.

Of course, the outside world does not know that this is a decision made by Wu Di, and at most they will feel that Deron Williams, who was born at the University of Illinois, was selected with the second pick, which will be part of the reason for Wu Di.

As for the other five picks, no one thinks about Wu Di.

In fact, many people are surprised that this year's Raptors did not choose Chinese players. That's not to say that there aren't any Chinese players in this year's draft. And in fact. Tang Zhengdong, a center who just won the MVP in the CBA this year, participated in the draft. But he was ultimately defeated.

Many people are surprised that since the Raptors were able to select Xue Yuyang with the 47th pick last year, why couldn't they use a second-round pick to win this CBA star player?

In fact, Wu Di once considered this guy, but Wu Di wanted to choose too many players, and when he finished selecting Masingotat, he realized that the draft pick was gone, which made Wu Di a little helpless.

Originally, Wu Di wanted to let other players choose this player and then trade it, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not so troublesome. If the Raptors really need him, they can sign him with a non-draft pick in the future.

In fact, he didn't choose this Tang Zhengdong, Wu Di just felt that the MVP of the CBA did not have the strength to play in the NBA for the time being.

Speaking of which, even Xue Yuyang, who has played for the Raptors for a season, has no real strength in the NBA now.

Therefore, Wu Di feels that it is a good thing for Chinese players to actively participate in the draft, but it is important to work hard to improve their individual basketball skills.

Speaking of the Chinese participating in the NBA draft. It made Wu Di a little helpless.

In addition to Tang Zhengdong this year, there is actually one person who plans to participate in the NBA draft.

That's what Deron Williams said. His teammate Cao Shuang is preparing to participate in the NBA draft next year, and the coach in Illinois is backing his entire decision.

At that time, Wu Di had a compatriot who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole in his mind.

Two years ago, Wu Di had been to Illinois and met Cao Shuang, and at that time, according to the perfect assessment, this Illinois backup center may not even have the ability of a professional player.

Therefore, when Wu Di heard that Cao Shuang was going to participate in the draft, the whole person was quite surprised.

However, Deron Williams' explanation made Wu Di suddenly feel the urge to meet Cao Shuang.

Deron Williams said that Cao Shuang's height has grown to 7 feet 5 inches, and he has gained a lot of weight, but his physical confrontation is still a little poor, but his ability to block and shoot from mid-range is quite good.

Wu Di was also a little surprised after hearing about it, obviously, this is another guy whose height can reach Yao Ming's standard? However, Wu Di has a slight regret, because in his opinion, basketball skills are too poor, and every qiē is wild.

After the draft, Wu Di and Deron Williams caught up, and then the two parted ways.

In the process, Wu Di was able to find that DeLong was very excited, so he did not forget to laugh and let Delong wait to be abused by him in the game next season.

Delong is not angry with such words, he said that as a fan of Wu Di, he hopes that Wu Di can get better soon.

After leaving New York, Wu Di did not immediately return to the Delaware Valley, but went to Toronto with his sister Wu Jiao, because Wu Jiao planned to hold a joint training camp open to the outside world, specifically to provide vocational training opportunities for some college or high school talents.

This kind of idea makes Wu Di feel very good, and he is very happy to take a look.

After spending about a week with the Toronto Raptors, Wu Di saw the progress of the Toronto youth training camp, and he also talked to Wu Jiao about his thoughts.

Wu Di feels that to carry out such a training camp, first of all, the hiring of professional coaches, this must not be negligent, otherwise it may be misleading for the geniuses who come here to train. Secondly, Wu Di felt that the training camp should be oriented to the world, especially China, and he felt that Chinese teenagers with NBA dreams should be given a chance to end the NBA up close, or finally realize their dreams.

Moreover, Wu Di thinks that a group of professional scouts should be hired to China, and they should go deep into the bottom, only then they may be able to find young people with good talent.

Wu Jiao thought that Wu Di's idea was very good, and in the end she accepted it, and then, Wu Di stayed fine, and returned to the Delaware Valley.

Because Xiao Wuxing is getting older, Bell is also a little more leisurely, and she can take the little guy out for a walk.

Therefore, when Wu Di returned to the Delaware Valley, it was also a little unexpected, because Bell actually went to Los Angeles, which made Wu Di a little surprised and even worried.

Obviously, Bailey is there, and this Bell is there now, I wonder if there will be any accidents?

With such worries, Wu Di also quickly dialed Bell's phone.

When he heard the laughter of Wu Xing and a woman on the phone, Wu Di was also very shocked and strange in his heart, because Bell was actually with Bailey, which made Wu Di feel a little unable to react at this time.

For this reason, Wu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this woman is really a strange creature.

Back at home, Wu Di was completely relaxed, and he recuperated in the villa with peace of mind.

However, within a few days, Wu Di, who felt bored, couldn't help but have itchy hands, so after more than four months, Wu Di touched the ball for the first time.

Because the injury recovered well, Wu Di did not deliberately suppress the urge to play in his heart, and because there was a private court in the villa, Wu Di was also very convenient to satisfy his desires.

Although the feeling in his hands was terrible, Wu Di was not discouraged, and he was still immersed in the fun of being exposed to basketball again.

In the days that followed, Wu Di did not play blindly and randomly, he formulated a simple training arrangement for himself, that is, to dribble for half an hour with his left and right hands every day.

After about a week, Wu Di's feeling gradually found in him, and he began to practice free throws.

Because his activities were still somewhat restricted, Wu Di hired a caddie to help him pick up the ball.

So, Wu Di began to practice 300 free throws a day.

The days of practice are very boring, especially when Wu Di is alone at home to practice, which will definitely make people slowly lose interest.

But Wu Di tried his best to keep himself in a strong interest, that is, to maintain his interest to complete the planned training, and not to do much.

In this way, it made Wu Di quite effective, and he could feel that his hand felt quite fast.

During the private practice of dribbling and free throws, Wu Di, who was idle, also had to pay attention to the NBA.

What made him helpless was that after the draft, the hottest thing was the trade rumors about him.

Many channels are rumoring that Wu Di is likely to be traded, and in such rumors, it is extremely surprising that the King of Saramento has not given up the pursuit of Wu Di.

Wu Di was also a little worried because of this, and to be honest, he really didn't want the Wizards to trade him out. Perhaps because it was here that he started his career, Wu Di only liked to play in Washington.

But out of pride, Wu Di did not contact the management in Washington, or even the boss Apollin, who felt that it was unnecessary.

If the Washington Wizards can't stand that test, then there's no need for him to play for such a team.

It was in the midst of such an intent that something happened that shocked and angered Wu Di and was disappointed.

Around mid-July, the general manager of the Washington Wizards announced the opening of trade talks with the Saramento Kings, and the whole country and even the world were shaken.

Could it be that there are really teams willing to want Wu Di......

Under this attention, the surprise continues.

Two days later, the Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets joined the bid......

And the Wizards did not refuse, and all those who made an offer accepted it.

As a result, Wu Di was completely disappointed, and it was obvious that the Wizards wanted to sell him completely.

After another two days, the nationwide talk of a trade seemed to have suddenly changed a bit because a special team had joined in.

Raptors general manager Wu Jiao, also known as Wu Di's sister, announced that the Toronto Raptors will be involved in the trade, and she will try her best to bring Wu Di into the team.

After such remarks, the fans were slightly surprised, but even a burst of mockery.

Of course, these mockery were not aimed at Wu Jiao and the Raptors, but at Wu Di, who was unaware of the matter beforehand.

Fans feel that Wu Di is completely using his special relationship with the Raptors to find a way out for himself, and even if he retires from the Raptors in the future, he will be able to enjoy the scenery.

After all, with the Raptors, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to play or being sold again. (To be continued......)
