140, Anthony's Belonging

(When you are out of town, update regularly.) When I get back, it will break out!! )

"Sure enough!"

Wu Di thought secretly in his heart.

As he thinks, the Cleveland Cavaliers will definitely choose LeBron James, for the simple reason that the Cavaliers, who have an incredibly bad roster, need nothing more than a super potential stock, not an instant player.

Moreover, considering James' fame in the United States, there seems to be no suspense about the ownership of this champion.

The Cavaliers fans cheered, and seeing this scene, everyone understood in their hearts that LeBron James turned out to be the player that the Cavaliers needed most.

The camera of ESPN's national live broadcast swept to the draft site, and at this time, LeBron James was standing up with a happy face, and under the focus of the camera, he calmly hugged his mother and friends around him.

As James walked to the podium, a number of rookies shook hands with James and congratulated him, including Carmelo Anthony.

Obviously, even though James hasn't played in the college league, his popularity is very good.

However, Wu Di found that Carmelo Anthony, who was in the other position, had a smile on the corner of his mouth after sitting down.

Seeing this, Wu Di couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that Anthony really didn't want to be elected champion? If that's the case, it's really interesting.

Perhaps, Anthony already had other plans in mind?

After thinking about it, Wu Di suddenly understood in his heart.

Obviously, the Memphis Grizzlies, who are just one leader away, are the ideal place for this rookie, and they can obviously help Anthony achieve his championship dream in a short period of time.

At this point, LeBron James was on the high stage, but he was always shaking his body, and it was clear that the baggy oversized suit made it difficult for him to handle.

In the warm applause at the scene, LeBron James and David Stern stood together and shook hands for a group photo.

Looking at James, who was full of spring breeze and extremely happy, Wu Di couldn't help laughing in his heart, he didn't believe that James, who was extremely smart, couldn't think of this.

Maybe there is a hint of bitterness under that smile, and the temptation of the champion seems to be really difficult to choose compared to the Grizzly lineup.

Of course, it is not up to James to decide whether this is the champion or not, and perhaps this is the reason why he is really bitter. His rivalry with Anthony was played out in the NBA, and now it seems that he was the top pick, but Anthony clearly has a bigger advantage.

Therefore, James will obviously be concerned about the competitive disadvantage he is now compared to Anthony.

The rookie and league president met for a short time, and soon, James was guided to the little green room for media interviews.

After the ownership of the champion is settled, then it will be the turn of the list, and the second pick to hold it is precisely the Memphis Grizzlies, who have excellent luck in this year's draft.

It all started in '97, when Sander, then the general manager of the Pistons, sent veteran Thorpe to the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies paid the price of a protected first-round pick.

At the time, the two sides agreed that the Pistons would receive a protected first-round pick from the Grizzlies with a top-three pick until '03.

This pick is a rollover pick, which means that if the Grizzlies are unwilling to honor that pick one year, it will be rolled over to the next.

As a result, the Grizzlies have had a poor record since the '97 trade, and each season will have a very good draft pick, so because they have been unwilling to cash in one of the years, this draft pick has been postponed until Super Draft Year '03.

In the 02~03 season, the Grizzlies only had a 25-57 record, and they ranked fifth from the bottom in the league, which means that the Grizzlies will theoretically get a very high draft pick in a super draft year.

As a result, the Pistons, who were first in the East last season, were overjoyed, because, according to the original agreement, the final year of the draft picks was postponed, and there was a great possibility that the draft picks drawn by Memphis would be theirs.

That is, of course, if the Grizzlies don't get the top three picks this year.

But even the Pistons themselves may not have imagined that their luck was so bad, and the Grizzlies not only achieved draft protection, but also got the second pick.

This situation made the Pistons general manager Joe Dumas have the urge to commit suicide at that time, they really needed this list of eye signs, but the truth made them extremely uncomfortable, and this list of eye signs was left behind by the Grizzlies.

Regarding this matter, the Grizzlies general manager was even more happy to issue a statement, saying that the extension of the draft pick was extremely successful, at least, they did not lose anything because of the original trade.

You know, the Grizzlies have a poor record, and although the draft picks for many years have been relatively high, they have not made any changes to the record.

And now, in this super draft year, they have managed to get the roster pick, which means that there will be a superstar to join their team.

In this case, the Memphis Grizzlies don't seem to have any reason to go on.

"Hopefully they won't choose Cameron, they won't choose Darko, and that Chris Bosh and Devon Wade will be good......"

Wu Di sat on the side and began to think cranky.

This kind of thinking can be said to be extremely evil, if the Memphis Grizzlies really jumped over these four people and chose the others, then Wu Di is afraid that he will die of laughter.

After all, this is the best five.

However, the general manager of the Grizzlies does not have Wu Di's rookie evaluation ability, so it is also possible for him to choose parallel imports.

Of course, this is not very likely, unless his head gets water......

Wu Di turned his head to look at Anthony, who was sitting in the distance, and at this time, Anthony's face was revealing a trace of confidence.

Seeing this situation, Wu Di chuckled in his heart, and he suddenly felt that holding the third pick in his hand was really painful at some point.

Just when Wu Di was in a daze, his mobile phone vibrated in his pocket, which was a message from his sister Wu Jiao.

"Who to choose? Have you thought about it? If you don't decide, I'll go ahead with the original plan. ”

If anyone else saw this scene, they would definitely drop their jaws in shock, it turned out that the Raptors' draft decision was in Wu Di's hands.

Of course, this qiē was all done in secrecy, and it was impossible for Wu Di to let anyone know about it.

Obviously, time is running out, and Wu Di understands that this decision must be made.

After a little thought, Wu Di's fingers moved on his phone, and soon, a text message was sent that decided the Raptors' draft pick.

At the draft meeting, it began to be a little noisy.

Although in theory, James is first, then Anthony should be the second pick, and then the others.

But no one dares to pack a ticket, and the Memphis Grizzlies will definitely choose Anthony.

And for some general managers with low draft picks, they still have a certain amount of luck. Unable to trade draft picks upwards, they can only hope that the general manager will be able to upset the selection.

After all, only then will they have a chance to get who they want.

Soon, David Stern reappeared in everyone's field of vision, and he still had a card in his hand.

In the eyes of countless anticipations.

Still smiling, Stern paused for a few seconds before slowly saying again:

"The Memphis Grizzlies selected Carmelo Anthony of Syracuse University with the second pick in the first round."
