The System of Basketball Becomes a God

Chapter 101 Draft!

(It will be empty in the future, so I hope that all book friends can give more advice, those that are unreasonable.)
While Li Qian was recuperating from his injury, he watched the NBA playoffs. In fact, in this year's playoffs, the league's punishment was a little unclear, which aroused a lot of doubts, but it was nothing more than a small disturbance.

The finals are coming to an end. The Warriors successfully broke through the Western Conference. After being led 3-1 by the Thunder, they successfully came back and advanced to the finals. The Cavaliers easily

Breaking into the finals, there is no difficulty, just like playing a game.

The Cavaliers and Warriors have now reached the tiebreaker. The Warriors originally had a 3-1 lead, but Green was suspended for one game, which made the entire Warriors team feel discouraged. In the end, the Cavaliers won two games in a row and came to The Warriors will play a tiebreaker at home.

Just at the beginning, the Cavaliers' offensive momentum was particularly fierce, but the Warriors clung to the score. After a series of passionate competitions, the scores led each other. At the last moment, Irving's desperate three-pointer brought the Cavaliers to the championship. on the throne.

In this way, the Warriors with 73 wins and 9 losses were defeated by the Cavaliers, and LeBron brought back the first championship in team history for the Cavaliers, after 52 years.

Obviously Li Qian also hopes that he can fight in the finals like them and win the championship, but he knows how difficult all this is, and they have made unremitting efforts.

After the finals, it is the most grand draft. Every year, someone passes the draft and lands in the NBA. It does not mean that if you lose the draft, you will not have a chance. Jeremy Lin is a good example. He successfully counterattacked and defeated the Hornets last season. He has played against strong teams such as the Spurs and Cavaliers, and has performed well in the playoffs and encountered double-teams.

He may get a big contract this summer, it depends on his ability.

Soon, the list of players invited to the small green room came down, and Li Qian's name was not there, which made him very frustrated. If he was not injured, he would probably be invited, and he could stay in the small green room and wait to be selected.

And 16 players were invited to enter the small green room: Wade Baldwin (Vanderbilt University), Dragan Bender (Maccabi Tel Aviv, Israel), Jaylen Brown (UC Berkeley), Marquese Chriss (University of Washington), Deyonta Davis (Michigan State), Kris Dunn (Providence), Henry Ellenson (Marquette), Dee Hield (Oklahoma), Brandon Ingram (Duke), Scale Labissier (Kentucky), Dejounte Murray (Washington), Jay Mal Murray (Kentucky), Jakob Bortle (Utah), Malachi Richardson (Syracuse), Sabonis Jr. (Gonzaga) and Ben Simmons (Louisiana State University).

When Li Qian saw Shield's name, his mood became even more difficult to calm down. They were rivals and good friends. He was not invited, so he felt bad and didn't know how to express his current mood.

"Hey, brother, I know you are frustrated now, but I also know that you are underestimated and you have the ability to use your strength to defeat their doubts." Hilde immediately called to comfort him. The voice sounded worried.

Li Qian was silent for a moment and replied: "Congratulations, I will continue to work hard. I know I can do it, so don't worry about it."

After the call, Li Qian's mood was a little better. At first, the media were unanimously optimistic about Li Qian, but now, Li Qian has not seen the newspapers about his injury, and has had optimistic comments on him, all of which are negative. Could it be that the injured yellow man was a defunct bomb?

Puzzled, Li Qian shook his head, not thinking about these things.

The draft meeting was scheduled for June 6th. Li Qian set off for the draft location, Brooklyn, New York. Although the journey was not far away, he still hoped to arrive at the venue one day in advance to feel the pre-draft atmosphere.

All the members of the Li team accompanied Li Qian, but they were not in the small green room, so they were not allowed to have accompanying personnel. During all drafts, Li Qian needed to face the pressure alone.

The scene of the draft meeting.

Players entered the arena one after another, and of course fans can also watch the draft at the draft conference. Li Qian saw that the players in the small green room were almost here, and everyone who knew Li Qian greeted him politely. Seeing Li Qian's unhappy face, De gave him a thumbs up and said, "You can do it!"

Li Qian nodded, smiled slightly, and waited for the start of the draft.

NBA President Adam Silver gave a speech on stage. After a brief speech, Sick walked backstage, because each team has 5 minutes to consider who should be selected. Li Qian knew that it was impossible for him to be selected by the top ten picks. So he didn't report any expectations.

In just 5 minutes, Li Qian felt that a day had passed. Adam Silver came out and announced: "The choice of the Philadelphia 76ers is - Simmons!"

Simmons stood up from the small green room, hugged affectionately with his relatives and friends, put on the hat of the 76ers, walked slowly onto the draft stage, shook hands with Adam Silver, and after two short sentences, stood together for a group photo.Waiting for the next team to choose.

There will be special reporters in the audience to interview the selected players. The 2 to 3 questions are actually very simple questions without any real effect. and the like.

Li Qian looked at Simmons with a gleam in his eyes. He felt that he had to play better than him in the future so that everyone would know him and be recognized by everyone.

Soon Adam Silver came out again and announced: "The choice of the Los Angeles Lakers is-Brandon Ingram!"

The first two picks have actually been booked, but starting from the third pick, there are big changes. Because the strength is equal, each team has different ideas and playing styles, and all the people selected are also very different.

The first ten players selected are out.

76ers: Ben Simmons

Lakers: Brandon Ingram

Celtics: Jaylen Brown
Suns: Dragan Bender

Timberwolves: Kris Dunn
Daddy: Buddy Hield

Nuggets: Jamal Murray
Kings: Marquese Chriss (Trading Suns)
Raptors: Jacob Boltel
Bucks: Thorn Mark
Li Qian knew that he might be selected in the first round in his twenties, so he didn't have the heart to listen to what Adam Silver was talking about. He just vaguely heard that Hilde was selected, and looked up at Hilde De, I don’t know what it feels like at all.
