The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Although O'Neal sacrificed his hue to satisfy the wishes of the fans, to be honest, such a sacrifice is very worthwhile.

In the United States, a free country where integrity is very cheap, fans just love to watch this kind of hot-eyed stuff.

In the championship parade, James cried, and TNT dunked with hot eyes.

This offseason is really one thing after another, completely gone from the calmness of the "grass period" in the past.

And the restlessness continues.

The 2013 NBA Draft will be held for the first time this year at the Nets' home court, the Barclays Center.

Nets owner Prokhorov invested a lot of money in the NBA, which is also part of the league's return.

After the championship parade was over, Olson was going to accompany his mother in Los Angeles. Tang Tian came to New York as in previous years, and joined the hard training brothers to start the annual offseason training.

Brooklyn is a district of New York, and the place where they live is separated by the Manhattan River.

When the draft started, he went to the scene with Walker.

Napier announced that he would stay in school, and they came here this year purely for fun.

After all, the day-to-day training is very boring, and some new things are needed to adjust it.

Tang Tian and Walker were still sitting at the front of the auditorium, chatting while waiting for the draft to start.

Tang Tian glanced at the little green house at this moment.

Victor Oladipo, Indiana University's super potential rookie this year, looks a bit like them, they are hard-working brothers.

Alex Lane, the sharp forward of the University of Maryland, is one of the top picks this year.

Anthony Bennett, Bennett's statistics in college are very good, and he is also one of the candidates for many honors including the John Wooden Award, the Naismith Award for Best Player, and this year's No. [-] candidate.

Mike Carter Williams, Syracuse University has been rich in scorers in previous years, but this year has a steals leader in school history, which can be regarded as an alternative.

Nerlens Noel, Noel was originally scheduled to be the No. 4.1 pick this year. As a freshman, he averaged [-] blocks per game, the highest in the United States. Although his body is not as good as last year's Anthony Davis, he is also the top.

However, because he was reimbursed for the season with a torn meniscus in February, this cast a shadow over his draft prospects.

When seeing Noel, Tang Tian also accidentally saw Anthony Davis.

As a center forward, he is here to cheer for Noel.

After everything was ready, Stern came out from the backstage.

As soon as he came out, boos were overwhelming.

Before the news broke, Stern will announce his retirement at the end of the draft.

In other words, this is the last draft of this meritorious president. The louder the fans boo, the more reluctant they are.

Stern smiled and looked a little excited.

20 years is really a snap of the fingers.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to..."

It was a familiar line, but it was the last time everyone at the scene heard it.

Tang Tian was also a little emotional at this time, Xiao Hua will be after Stern.

Nick Gilbert, the son of Cavaliers owner Gilbert, once again showed his lucky hands and won the No. [-] pick for the Cavaliers this year.

Because this year is an absolute draft year, who will be selected for the No. [-] pick is also worthy of attention.

It even broke out that the Cavaliers wanted to trade the No. [-] pick before, but in the end they stayed.

"Tang, who do you think will be the champion?"

The Cavaliers had 5 minutes to think about it, and Walker also chatted with Tang Tian at this time.

When this kind of champion is difficult to decide, it is also very interesting to guess the champion.

"Bennett."

Tang Tian didn't know if history would change, so he guessed the safest one.

"Isn't it? You have such a unique vision? Compared with the others, he has the least probability. I think it's either Ryan or Noel. The Cavaliers chose Thompson last year, and they still need a center."

Walker's analysis is quite in place.

Tang Tian gave a wry smile after hearing this. Sometimes the management's operations are indeed incomprehensible to people, and they can't even be deduced with common sense.

Five minutes later, Stern came out from the backstage.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2013, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Anthony Bennett, a 2-meter power forward, from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas."

Walker: "..."

When Stern announced the result, the Cavaliers fans at the scene were also confused.

To be honest, this result is really surprising.

The Cavaliers power forward has Thompson, the No. 11 pick for 5 years, and Varejao, who can swing, and even Tyler Zeller, the No. 17 pick last year.

This can be regarded as a mysterious operation.

Bennett got up excitedly. He performed well in the Cavaliers' trial training, but he himself did not expect to be the No. [-] pick. The brisk footsteps when he took the stage almost made him run.

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw that it was really Bennett.

One of the worst in NBA history, the champion who allowed Kwame Brown to completely remove the word "parallel champion", was born like this.

At this time, the person with the most disappointed expression was Noel, and his knee injury still prevented him from being the champion in the end.

Davis patted the shoulder to comfort him at this time.

Although he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks gentle and has a bit of a warm manly demeanor.

"Will Noel be in the top three?" Walker turned to Tang Tian and asked at this time.

He is not discussing at the moment, but like asking.

What Tang Tian said, Bennett is really amazing.

"The meniscus is a very risky injury." Tang Tian shook his head.

For athletes, the meniscus is really as important as the lifeblood.

Before Paul's meniscus injury, he was able to hit the second place in the MVP list, and after the injury, he became a master of ball control;

Wade's meniscus can still be used. He used to be the league's second shooting guard, but now he is seriously out of the ranks of superstars;

Roy went directly from the Yellow Mamba to being forced to retire.

Therefore, managers must be very cautious when selecting people, especially when there are hidden dangers of meniscus injuries.

Walker nodded, then looked at the scene, he wanted to see if Tang Tian would continue to be right this time.

The Magic with the second overall pick selected Oladipo.

The Wizards selected Otto Porter with the third overall pick.

Walker: "..."

The Bobcats selected Cody Zeller with the fourth pick.

At this time Tang Tian turned his head and patted Walker on the shoulder.

Boss Qiao's mysterious operation, with such a boss, brother, you are really suffering.

The Suns selected Ryan with the fifth overall pick.

At this moment, Tang Tian noticed that Noel, who was sitting in the small green room, was already crying.

From being the top pick to falling outside the top five, his mentality directly collapsed.

At this moment, Davis' comfort from the sidelines was useless.

Chapter 4 Stern Announces Retirement (Part [-])

"With the sixth pick in the first round of the NBA in 2013, the New Olson Pelicans selected Nerlens Noel, a 6-meter center, from the University of Kentucky."

Finally, at the sixth pick, the Pelicans finally selected Noll.

Noel wiped away tears at this time, hugged friends and family, and finally hugged Davis for a long time.

He is going to become teammates with Davis.

At the critical moment, the senior is still reliable.

The Pelicans fans at the scene were also very excited at this time.

Nolga Davis, is the team going to put up a no-fly zone in New Orleans?

Noel took the hat handed over by the staff and went on stage, shook hands with Stern with a smile, and took a group photo.

His mood seemed to ease a little more than before.

Although the pick is a bit lower, it is already a good result for him to join forces with Davis.

However, when he took a group photo and left the stage to be interviewed by reporters, he was told that he had been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers...

He didn't realize it all at once, the ups and downs in this life are too exciting.

But that's the way it is in the draft, where players are naked commodities.

Tang Tian then took out his mobile phone and read the news.

The Pelicans sent Noel and a protected first-round pick in 2014, and traded from the 76ers for All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday and this year's 42nd pick.

Huo Ledi, Tang Tian still has a good impression of him.

Can burst, pass and defend, but the projection and organization are a little weaker.

Now that he is an All-Star, as long as one of those two weaknesses can be resolved, the data will explode.

The draft is still going on.

A few more important choices in the first round.

The Trail Blazers selected CJ McCollum with the 10th overall pick.

One of the future Trail Blazers, one of the inspirational players in the NBA, only 1 meters when he entered high school, and played for four years in college.

The 76ers selected Mike Carter-Williams with the 11th overall pick.

This player who combines the names of many stars has attracted a lot of heated discussions on social media.

The Thunder selected "Sea King" Adams with the 12th overall pick.

Adams didn't have a beard at this time, and he looked like an absolutely handsome New Zealand guy.

The Bucks selected "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th overall pick.

At this time, Antetokounmpo looked really thin, much thinner than Davis.

The Bucks fans at the scene were all dumbfounded, because the player from Greece didn't even enter the small green room.

The Nuggets selected center Rudy Gobert from France with the 27th pick and then traded him to the Jazz.

The Spurs selected Livio Jean-Charles, also a striker from France, with the 29th overall pick.

Looking at the choices with two picks before and after, Tang Tian felt a little depressed.

These two picks are really far apart, and he really can't wait to be the general manager himself.

However, he is now a player, that must be impossible.

Instead, he now wants to emulate James and gain the right to speak in the team.

Otherwise, in this era of giant teams, even if he becomes the team leader, he may not necessarily be able to win.

"With the 2013th pick in the first round of the NBA in 30, the Suns selected Nemanja Nedovic, a 1m point guard from Serbia."

The Heat's previous draft picks came to the Suns. After the Suns made their selections, this year's first-round draft officially ended.

However, unlike previous years, Stern did not turn around and leave immediately after the announcement.

Instead, he paused.

The fans had already more or less guessed what he was going to do at this time, and boos were all over the sky again.
