Basketball Myth: Super Guard

On June 29th, the 2012 NBA draft was held in Madison Square in New York. Qin Hao and Butler were still in New York, and this time Brother Flathead was going to run for the election, so they also came to the scene.

Before the draft conference started, Brother Pingtou was so nervous that he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. His family was nearby, and he was also very nervous, praying constantly.

Although some websites have given predictions before, thinking that Brother Pingtou will be selected by a certain team at the end of the first round or at the top of the second round, but that is only a prediction.

The end of the first round, the second round ahead.

This is not a very high pick. In fact, for all the rookies in the second round, there is a lot of uncertainty when they enter the election, and there is a small chance that they will lose the selection.

In the history of the NBA, there are many players who played excellent statistics in the ncaa, and finally participated in the nba draft but were not selected, such as Browning and Jeremy Lin.

Although Pingtou has performed very well in the ncaa this season, everything is still uncertain until his name is pronounced.

"Take it easy." Butler patted Brother Flathead and squeezed on his shoulder. "With your strength, you will definitely be selected, it's just the difference in draft."

"Jimmy is right." Qin Hao also comforted: "And I think you will probably be selected in the first round, trust me."

This time Qin Hao couldn't use the "big prophecy", because in the memory of his last life, the name Ed Davis (Brother Flathead) did not exist in the 12-year rookie. The reason why Brother Pingtou participated in this draft has something to do with his "butterfly effect", so Qin Hao doesn't know what happened in the end, just to comfort Brother Pingtou.

The comfort of the two still worked. Brother Flathead nodded, took another deep breath, calmed down a little, and comforted the family around him.

Soon, the draft will begin.

Although 2012 was not as good as the 1996 class and the 2003 class, which was a big year for the draft, there were also many very good players, some of which even became All-Star players.

Like Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Andre Drummond, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton.

All of them were later selected to the All-Star Game.

In addition to these people, there are some good players, such as Will Barton, Evan Fournier, Dion Waiters, Harrison Barnes, Jae Crowder and so on.

Of these players who later made achievements in the NBA, quite a few were actually not high in the draft, such as Dream Chasing Green, Middleton, Button, Fournier, Barnes, and Claude. Brother Pingtou has no advantages compared with them, and he is inconspicuous among the candidates.

The first is the lottery players.

This has nothing to do with Brother Pingtou. Qin Hao paid a little attention to a few players he was familiar with, Davis, Lillard, Bill, and Drummond. The draft positions of several people did not change, and they were the same as what he remembered. Same.

After the lottery area passed, Brother Flathead became nervous again.

At this time, the 16th to 30th picks in the first round, he still has hope.

It's just that he didn't read his name until the 28th pick in the first round, which made Brother Pingtou a little frustrated: "It seems that I have no hope in the first round."

"Don't be discouraged, aren't there two more?" Qin Hao comforted.

At this time, the 29th pick in the first round was announced.

This draft belongs to the Chicago Bulls, and at this time, Brother Flathead finally heard his name - Ed Davis from Syracuse University.

For a time, Brother Pingtou was stunned, and the whole person was stunned.

"What are you still doing, you've been selected." Butler patted him.

"Ah?" Brother Pingtou finally came to his senses. He burst into tears with excitement. He stood up and hugged his family, Qin Hao and Butler. In addition to his excitement, there was a hint of relaxation, "It's finally my time."

The 29th pick in the first round, although it is the second-to-last in the first round, it is still the first round. It is similar to the original draft prediction for Brother Pingtou.

Moreover, he was selected by the Bulls, and his relationship with Rose is still very good. Everyone is a small partner in the "Rising Stars Training Camp", and at least they will not be rejected and suppressed by the Bulls.

Qin Hao didn't pay much attention to the people after that, and only paid attention to Middleton, Barton, Green, and Claude.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2012 NBA draft, there were indeed many low-ranked counter-attack players. Claude was the 34th pick in the second round, Dream Chaser Green was the 35th pick in the second round, and Middleton was the second round. The 39th pick, Barton was the 40th pick in the second round, and the four included two future All-Star players, all from the second round.

At the end of the draft, Brother Flathead went to the Bulls, which is a very good place.

After Qin Hao and Butler celebrated Brother Flathead, they parted ways and left New York. Qin Hao returned to Philadelphia, and Butler returned to Detroit.

......

Entering July, the NBA has also entered the summer trading period in full swing.

Each team has begun to act, the reinforcement of the reinforcement, the reconstruction of the reconstruction, and actively prepare for the next season.

For a time, all kinds of trade rumors were flying, and even some big-name stars, such as Dwight Howard of the Magic and Kevin Garnett of the Celtics, will become free agents.

Especially Warcraft Howard.

Because the Magic's performance was not good enough last season, and they didn't have enough good results in the playoffs, the Magic had to think carefully about how to build a team around Howard, who was a bad free throw and was easily "cut" by the opponent in the playoffs. Is it a correct choice.

Of course, O'Neal was also "cut" at the beginning, but the two cannot be generalized, because although Howard is excellent, his dominance is still not as good as O'Neal's.

In addition, 2008 rookies will also become restricted free agents, such as Derrick Rose, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Brook Lopez and so on.

Although it is unlikely that they will leave the team, they are still the target of each team's competition. What if they grab one? To grab is to earn.

For the 76ers, of course, they also need reinforcement.

In the season that just ended, the 76ers made it all the way to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Although they reached the tiebreaker with the Heat, everyone understood that the 76ers lineup was not as good as that of the Heat. It was almost a miracle to reach the tiebreaker. .

The goal of the 76ers next season will not be just the Eastern Conference semifinals, and if they want to go further, they must still face strong teams such as the Heat and the Bulls.

So the 76ers have to strengthen their roster.
