Super Role Player
Chapter 5 Draft
On June 24, 2011, the NBA draft was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The cloud of lockout lingered, and the NBA draft seemed to be a place for people to vent.
When Anxi entered the arena, the entire arena was already occupied by all kinds of slogans. There were those who cursed the league, those who supported the players, and of course those who supported the team. A true portrayal of capital.
The big screen at the venue scanned the popular rookies who came to the scene to participate in the draft one by one, Kelly Irving, Derek Williams, Kemba Walker...
And the ESPN live broadcast room that hosts the live broadcast of this draft has long been arguing. Who will the Cavaliers choose? For the Cavaliers, who is the better choice, Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams; or should the Timberwolves choose the one left by the Cavaliers, can't they try this year's NCAA champion Kemba Walker? blah blah blah blah blah...
Anyway, this draft is just one word - noisy!
If you let Anxi speak, the new labor agreement, labor and management should take a step back, and the most important thing is to play and watch the ball. As for Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams, who is better? Anxi doesn't know, he knows, how he felt about these two in college, it seems that Kyrie Irving is more difficult to defend, but everything will be different after entering the NBA, who will know what will happen then? Very much, should the Timberwolves try Kemba Walker? Anxi thinks the Timberwolves should try because he is Kemba Walker's college teammate.
Of course, there is one thing Anxi knows very well - he, Anxi! He is the best rookie in this draft! Time will prove everything.
Soon, David Stern, whom everyone was waiting for, stepped onto the stage, and boos rang out in the arena. In any case, the league is facing a shutdown crisis, and David Stern, the president of the league, is responsible Yes, so both labor, management and fans are very dissatisfied with David Stern.
The booing continued, and David Stern seemed to have expected this scene long ago. He was very calm and waited for a few minutes until the arena was quiet before he opened his mouth to announce the official start of the 2011 NBA Draft.
Then, a string of English came out of David Stern's mouth, and then I heard Kyrie Irving's name.
"The Cleveland Cavaliers chose Kyrie Irving, an expected choice. The stars in this draft are bleak, and the Cavaliers really have no better choice." The ESPN host expressed his opinion again.
Kyrie Irving hugged his family and friends excitedly, then put on his knight hat and walked to the center stage.
Then, the Timberwolves didn't dare to take any chances. They still chose Derek Williams, who was also the favorite for the No. 1 pick. When Derek Williams delivered his acceptance speech, Ivor Clark quietly got up and left.
Anxi knows what this guy is going to do. Tristan Thompson has a lottery guarantee from the Cavaliers. For such an agent, this is an excellent opportunity to show his face, how could he miss it?
Sure enough, the Jazz chose Enes Kanter with the third pick, and then it was the Cavaliers' turn. When David Stern spit out Tristan Thompson's name, the audience exclaimed!
"The Cavaliers selected Tristan Thompson with the fourth overall pick. An unexpected selection. His projected pick was only at the end of the lottery, but the Cavaliers selected him with a top-five pick!"
From a distance, Anxi only saw Tristan Thompson jumping up the moment he heard his name, and hugged everyone around him, including Ivor Clark. To be honest, if Iwo Clark didn’t find Rich Paul , changing the physical test data, getting the knight's trial training invitation through the back door, and some things that Anxi didn't know after that,
There's no way Tristan Thompson could be drafted here.
Then the Raptors picked up Jonas Valanciunas, and the Wizards took Jan Veseli. Jan Veseli was selected by the Wizards, which means that the Wizards will not have a place in the United Arab Emirates next season. At this time, on the other side of the ocean, the fans are already sighing. Is it possible that there will be no Chinese in the NBA next season? ? Yao Ming? Forget it, there is already news that Yao Ming will retire this season.
With the 7th overall pick, the Kings selected Pis McBiyombo and then sent him to the Bobcats in a three-way deal. With the 8th pick, the Pistons selected Brandon Knight. It wasn't until the 9th pick that Anxi's college teammate Kemba Walker was selected by the Bobcats.
The selection of the next few picks did not surprise everyone. Klay Thompson was not picked by the Warriors until the 11th pick. The Suns and the Rockets picked the Morris Brothers with two picks in a row, which is a record.
Then, the Spurs, who love Anxi, announced the completion of a deal with the Pacers, using George Hill from the Pacers in exchange for this year's No. 15 pick, and then chose Kawhi Leonard, a small forward who is as defensive as Anxi .
At this time, Ivo Clark also came back. He saw Kawhi Leonard put on the Spurs hat, and then subconsciously said: "The Spurs actually chose him, Ann, this black boy is very similar to your type." ?! Aren’t the Spurs going to pick you?”
Anxi shrugged, not to mention anything else, there are still many differences between this Kawhi Leonard and himself. For example, Anxi is more inclined to the outside line, while Kawhi Leonard is more inclined to the inside line. Although both are perimeter defensive players, the difference is that Anxi is a forward swingman, while Kawhi Leonard is a forward swingman. This is very different. There is a big difference in the position alone. .
The Spurs didn't pick Anxi in the first round, which Anxi had expected a long time ago. From top to bottom, Anxi didn't see any potential in him, just like a yellow-skinned black and tough player, at most he was a blue-collar player. This is different from Leonard, at least Leonard still has a certain potential.
David Stern announced the names of the first-round rookies one by one, and then greeted them one by one. Soon the draft came to the end of the first round. When the Celtics selected Marshan Brooks and the Mavericks selected Jordan Hamilton. At the time, in the Heat draft room, Pat Riley frowned.
"LeBron said he wanted us to draft Norris Cole?"
"Yes, Mr. Riley, LeBron said that Norris Cole will be one of the best point guards in this draft. LeBron is a fellow of Norris, so he knows the potential of Norris." That person is Rich Paul, LeBron James' agent.
"But we don't have a draft pick. Maybe Norris Cole will be picked in the next few picks." Pat Riley shook his head.
"It can be traded up, Mr. Riley. As far as I know, the Timberwolves have contacted you. They are willing to exchange the Bulls' No. 28 pick for the Heat's two second-round picks."
"But our second-round pick already has a draft target!" Pat Riley lit up.
"Second-round draft target? Comparable to Norris?" Rich Paul sneered. "Hurry up, Mr. Pat Riley, LeBron is still waiting for the results."
Pat Riley shook his head helplessly, and slowly took out his phone...
