On June 24, 2011, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, where this year's draft was held.

For the NBA, the annual draft heralds the start of a new season and symbolizes the entry of a new group of new forces into the league.

But this time is different, and a week after the draft meets, there will be negotiations between labor and management.

Moreover, the outcome of this negotiation is not optimistic, and it is likely that the two sides will not be able to reach an agreement.

So, before the draft began, David Stern's face was full of tiredness and sadness.

Even so, when the evening draft began, he still stood in the center of the stage with a strong smile.

This year's convention was not held at the familiar Madison Square Garden, and the pesky New York fans didn't have a chance to boo Stern.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who reached the Finals, unexpectedly won this year's No. 1 pick.

The last team to reach the Finals and get the top pick was the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982.

And the Lakers' No. 1 pick was traded from the Cavaliers in the 1981-1982 season.

Because of this absurd situation, the league had to issue a "Stepion Clause" for Cavaliers owner Stepion, which prohibits teams from trading draft picks for two consecutive years.

Now, it is the knight's turn to enjoy this champion sign, and it can only be said that the ancestors have accumulated virtue.

"In the 2011 draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected the first pick in the first round, Kyrie Irving from Duke University!"

David Stern pronounced the first name in this year's draft.

Kyrie Irving, an excellent point guard from Duke at the prestigious school.

This is the fourth year in a row that the top pick is a point guard, following Rose, Curry, and Wall.

Teams are beginning to realize the importance of the backcourt and how much a good point guard can help the team's offense.

The point guard is the typical position where the offensive gains are higher than the defensive gains.

When teams start to invest resources in point guards, it's a sign that the tide is shifting in the offense across the league.

After winning Irving, the Cavaliers were overjoyed and their strength was further enhanced.

Following James in '03, the Cavaliers finally have another super-rookie with a high pick.

As a result, the Cavaliers' odds to win the new season have jumped to the top of the league.

Then in the second pick, the wise and great Minnesota King, the reverse bellwether of the NBA draft, the god of riot operations, and the Timberwolves management, chose Derrick Williams from the University of Arizona!

The masterpiece of the forward line helped the University of Arizona overturn the prestigious Duke in this year's NCAA.

That's probably why the Timberwolves chose him.

Seeing that the Timberwolves chose such a non-trivial forward, Min Congda, who was far away in the Los Angeles draft office, felt very relieved.

This shows that in terms of draft vision and draft standards, he and the Timberwolves are on the same side, which is really reassuring.

Then, the Utah Jazz selected Turkish interior lineman Enes Kanter with the third pick.

It was a surprising choice, putting a valuable probe on a Turkish centre-forward.

The Toronto Raptors took Jonas Valanciunas in fourth place.

The Washington Wizards took Jane Vesely in fifth place.

The teams with three consecutive picks have all chosen the European inside.

Obviously, Nowitzki's title this year has shocked quite a few teams.

A German lad can achieve so much.

Eastern teams like the Wizards, who didn't pay much attention to international players in the past, are starting to think about European treasure hunting.

The big forward from the Czech Republic is 211 tall and the template is none other than Dirk Nowitzki.

When he was selected with the fifth pick, he got up and kissed his girlfriend passionately, but it became his most amazing scene in the NBA.

Not all homegrown white forwards who can shoot are Larry Bird. m.

Not all of the 210 big white players who can shoot are Nowitzki.

This lesson will continue to serve as a wake-up call to NBA management in the future.

Nowitzki the second, like the Byrd second, is the easiest to fool.

With the sixth pick, the New Jersey Nets selected Tristan Thompson of the University of Texas.

With the seventh pick, the Detroit Pistons selected University of Kentucky guard Brandon Knight.

Once the evergreen pistons of the East, began their long rebuild.

The Charlotte Bobcats selected Kemba Walker with the eighth pick.

The Bucks selected Fredette with the ninth pick.

The Golden State Warriors acquired Klay Thompson, the son of the No. 10 pick......

Soon, it was the Clippers' turn to be the 13th pick, and Min Congda and others were impatient.

It's still a champion show, if it's just a champion show, you'll get off work after the election!

It's annoying now, a 13th pick, and a 20th pick, grinding and chirping for a long time.

"In the 2011 draft, with the 13th pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Kawyn Leonard from the University of San Diego!"

Stern reported Leonard's name on stage.

The young man got up from his seat with no expression on his face.

Mu Ran walked onto the stage, put on the hat of the Los Angeles Clippers, and shook hands with Stern.

Leonard was actually happy with the result, and it was great to be able to play in Los Angeles.

Little did he know that in San Antonio, Texas, in the Spurs' draft office, Popovich was thundering!

"Fack! Fack! What the hell is going on! Why did the Clippers pick Leonard with the 13th pick! Shet! Call, call the Los Angeles Clippers Draft Office right away..."

Popovich couldn't believe his eyes, why was he intercepted by the Clippers again?

You robbed me of Bonner in the free market, black eight me in the playoffs, and now the draft has taken away my handpicked small forward?

For Leonard, the Spurs have been eyeing this player for a long time and have spent a lot of scouting resources to make contact.

After much scouting, the Spurs, who don't have draft picks, decided to trade George Hill for the Pacers' No. 15 pick to get Leonard.

Previously, Popovich used various resources to understand the draft intentions of each team, and he didn't think anyone would be interested in Leonard.

How do you know that the Clippers, the dog team, actually intercepted Leonard with the 13th pick!

Popovich felt his blood pressure rise and needed someone to vent his anger.

"Call Mike Dunleavy ......"

"The phone is turned off, and it can't be connected."

Dunleavy had the foresight to turn off his phone on the day of the draft.

Popovich was silent and cried, and the team's plans for the new season were ruined.

And the draft went on as usual, until the 20th pick, and the Clippers' draft was finally over.

Min Congda couldn't hold back and wanted to go home from work and sleep.

"In the 2011 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Jimmy Butler from Marquette University with the 20th pick!"

The Clippers picked Jimmy Butler in 20th place, another forward.

And Min Congda chose him for a simple reason: out of all the players on the tryout, his shooting was as bad as Leonard's!

After taking Butler, there was a round of applause in the Clippers' office.

"Good! Very good! The draft meeting has been successfully concluded! The second round is... Let's just look at it, right? Get off work and get off work! Let's go, Jeff, go have a drink! Let's go have a drink together! ”

There is still a sign in the second round, Min Congda doesn't want to care about it, and let the front make its own choice.

Can't wait, take the staff to the dinner together.

In another week, Min Congda will travel to New York to witness another collective bargaining since 1999.

Some people died, but not completely......
