NBA China Light

United States, 1996 NBA Draft.

Zhou Ke was born out of nowhere and was elected the No. [-] pick, disrupting the presuppositions of the follow-up teams.

After losing Zhou Ke, the Boston Celtics, who had the second pick, had to stop their losses in time and took Allen Iverson!

The little man from George Town, with a height of 183cm and a weight of 75kg, became the shortest in history.

Seeing that Zhou Ke and Iverson were picked in the first two picks, the representative of the Grizzlies with the third pick was secretly delighted.

In this era when insiders are king and the four major centers are at the peak of integrity, is there anyone who doesn't want a high-quality big man like Marcus Kanbi?
I'm afraid it's a stupid yuppie!

When the Grizzlies started to choose, they undoubtedly won the most powerful inside player of this year-Marcus Compete.

This inside player from the University of Massachusetts, with a height of 2.11cm and a weight of 107kg, has a good ability to protect the frame.

By this time, the top three teams of the 1996 season had all been released.

From No. [-] to Tanhua, they are: Zhou Ke from the University of Texas, Allen Iverson from Georgetown University, and Marcus Compete from the University of Massachusetts.

This result, apart from Zhou Ke who was surprising, the other two were reasonable.

The fourth pick of the Milwaukee Bucks is a bit difficult to choose. Ray Allen and Marbury make it difficult for them to choose.

But in the end, they chose to believe in Stephen Marbury, who has more explosive athletic ability.

When David Stern named Marbury with the fourth overall pick, it wasn't hard to see the disappointment on his face.

Because, in Marbury's view, the draft is also a contest.

And he was defeated by Zhou Ke again!

Immediately afterwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves picked up a leak and took Ray Allen with the fifth pick in their hands.

Formed the talent combination of Garnett + Ray Allen.

As long as Ray Allen realizes his talents, such a combination is enough to expand his territory in the West and occupy his own place.

Through the trade, the Raptors, who got the sixth overall pick, never expected that they could still win a talented player like Antoine Walker.

Counting the quasi-All-Star players sent by Boston like Dino Radia, from the current point of view of this transaction, the Raptors are making a lot of money!

And the Celtics are in a bloodbath!
Zhou Ke didn't get it, and gave away so many extras!

It's no wonder that Auerbach has the idea of ​​retiring. No one can bear it!
The remaining 7th to 13th picks are basically not too big.

They are, in order: Lorenchin Wright, Kerry Kittles, Samaki Walker, Eric Dampier, Todd Fuller, Vitali Potapanko, and High School Kobe Bryant!

Here, the appearance of Kobe Bryant is a little eye-catching. This young high school student may also be a player with extraordinary potential.

However, just after the Hornets took Kobe Bryant, a breaking news broke out on the scene immediately!
The Los Angeles Lakers are willing to send the team's quasi-All-Star player Verati Divac to exchange for Kobe!

Use a young quasi-All-Star player for an 18-year-old high school rookie?

Don't think about it, it's incredible just listening to it!

Such a good thing delivered to the door, the Hornets management felt ecstatic.

Without even thinking about it, I agreed!

"Did Jerry West and Cuban take the wrong medicine? Their choices and transactions are outrageous!"

"Perhaps, from now on, we can call these two: Outrageous Brothers."

The scene laughed and joked.

After Kobe stepped down, the lottery picks for this draft have all been released.

This draft is indeed the one with the highest attention, and the breaking news that broke out frequently is indeed worthy of such a high degree of attention.

After the end, the transaction officially began, and the most eye-catching one was the transaction between the 76ers and the Mavericks.

According to the previous agreement, Zhou Ke and Samaki Walker exchanged clubs. In addition, the Mavericks will also send Jamal Mashburn and the All-Star player: Jason Kidd!
Even though it was expected early, when the on-site transaction happened, a commotion broke out again on the scene.

The on-site commentary and experts also agreed that the 76ers made a lot of money in this deal!

A No. 76 pick brought an All-Star guard to the [-]ers, and also harvested breakups like Jamal Mashburn and potential rookies like Samaki Walker.

This lineup can be said to be the rhythm to take off!

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks not only sent away the team's scoring champion and All-Star, but also took out their own draft picks.

It's just that Zhou Ke, who has played four games, has been replaced. No one knows whether this guy is lucky for a while.

Judging from the current lineup, the Mavericks will be a bad embryo next season.

It's no wonder that Dallas fans feel so outraged.

It is simply a loss to grandma's house!
"I still haven't figured out why Cuban wanted to win Zhou Ke."

"I seem to see a scene where Dallas people monopolize the No. [-] pick in the next few years."

The criticism of Cuban continued until the end of the draft.

The studio of China Central Television 5 saw Zhou Ke being traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

The corners of Li Wei's mouth that were originally upturned slowly began to slide down.

He knew very well how unpopular Chinese people were in Dallas.

Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. I don't know if this mountain will stop Zhou Ke from traveling to the NBA.

But in order to comfort the Huaxia fans, Li Wei put on a smile and said to the CCTV camera:

"Dallas Mavericks is a young team, and it is only 16 years old, but it is this young team that is suitable for a player full of potential like Zhou Ke!"

"Moreover, since the Mavericks entered the NBA, they have never won the O'Brien Cup. Maybe Zhou Ke will create the same history in the NBA as he did in the NCAA! Win the first O'Brien Cup for them! .”

If Zhou Ke can win the first O'Brien Cup in team history, the mountains in people's hearts will be smashed to pieces!
But now, what Li Wei is most worried about is whether Zhou Ke will get a chance to play.

In the Mavericks roster, there are several players who occupy the ball, and Zhou Ke's tactical status may be affected.

If a player does not even have the most basic playing time guaranteed, it is equivalent to a swordsman losing his sword and a gunner losing his gun!
Under such circumstances, what will Zhou Ke use to create history and smash people's prejudices?
