The Basketball Court Swordsman

Many incredible things happened in the basketball world in 2011, and the one that fans talked about most was undoubtedly the Dallas Mavericks' victory.

At the beginning of the season, no one would have thought that the single-core Mavericks could reach the finals. After reaching the finals, no one thought that the old Mavericks could defeat the Big Three of the Heat.

However, the fact is that Dirk Nowitzki played one of the best series of his career. His unsolvable performance on the court eclipsed the Big Three.

Nowitzki’s success tells everyone that a crazy accumulation of stars does not necessarily bring you a championship. A suitable system and a strong individual are enough to succeed!

Dallas fans are now undoubtedly the happiest fans in the world. They swept away the haze of being black and stood on top of the world. And Nowitzki got rid of the "soft egg" in one fell swoop. After winning this time, the historical status of the "old driver" will undoubtedly rise wildly.

A foreign player, single-core led the team to defeat the most powerful star combination on the planet. This kind of thing is enough for Nowitzki to blow for a lifetime.

The Mavericks' championship also made Henson feel unexpected, but he doesn't care who is the championship this season. Because for Henson, the new season has already begun before the joint trial.

The draft is the battlefield that Henson cares more about!

"Are you sure your series of plans can be successful?" An hour before the start of the draft, Bird called and asked about the Henson Draft.

Due to Henson's success in the draft two years ago, Bird now has full power to hand over the matters of the draft to Henson. Henson only needs to take care of everything and give Bird an announcement.

"The draft is a big casino, Bird, nothing is certain here. But trust me, I will give you a good result."

Bird didn't doubt Henson's ability, because even Bird didn't know whether Henson wanted Reggie Jackson or Leonard. Other people, it's even harder to guess.

"Then you come in quickly, I'll wait to see your performance."

"I'm afraid I can't enter, Bird. I left New Jersey this morning and I am in the Bay Area."

"What are you doing in the Bay Area!?"

"Be with girlfriend." Henson replied lightly.

June 24, 2011, Prudential Center Arena, New Jersey. Although there is no NBA game today, the atmosphere in the arena is even stronger than on game day!

In the next few hours, those young talents will start their careers. Among these geniuses, some may be obscured, but some may become the next household names.

The team participating in the draft is also likely to change the fate of the team because of a decision.

"Good evening everyone. I’m Mike Brin. I’m here tonight. I will join Greg Anthony, Isaiah Thomas and David Aldridge in the outfield to bring you the NBA Draft tonight. The live broadcast of the conference!"

On the TV, Mike Brin's iconic voice rushed into people's ears. Although this year is recognized as a minor draft year, fans still keep a high level of attention to the draft.

Popovich sat in his private room, feeling a little nervous. Originally, he planned to trade George Hill for a draft pick to get Leonard.

But the Pacers' proposal for Holiday on the deal disrupted Popovich's plan.

Holiday is undoubtedly a talented point guard. Holiday last season with the Pacers, he averaged 14 points and 6 assists per game. He has already looked like a star.

Popovich has to admit that the Pacers' chips are exciting. But the Spurs did not immediately agree to this proposal, nor did they refuse it. They are waiting, waiting for the results of the draft.

If a team takes the lead in intercepting Leonard Hu, Popovich will replace Leonard with George Hill. If Leonard really falls to the 29th overall pick, the Spurs can directly select the taciturn kid and agree to a deal with the Pacers!

This is the best result, so that the Spurs can kill two birds with one stone!

At the same time in the Pacers' private room, Frank Vogel and Stephen Silas sat together nervously. Henson said this morning that everything would go according to plan, and then left with confidence. The Pacers may be the only team with only assistant coaches to participate in the draft.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the 2011 NBA Draft officially began. Vogel felt sweaty in his palms, and even if Henson had taken care of everything, he felt extremely nervous.

In the No. 1 pick that people are most concerned about, Kyrie Irving deserves to be picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Irving put on the Cavaliers baseball cap youthfully and shook hands with David Stern.

Henson didn't know that this little guard who was standing on the stage facing the camera would cause him a tremendous headache in the future.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves chose Derek Williams with the second overall pick, and the Utah Jazz won Kanter with the third overall pick. As the pick gradually fell behind, Vogel became more nervous.

There were no surprises in the top 14 picks, and Leonard was not picked by anyone. By the 15th overall pick, Vogel's body couldn't help trembling slightly when it was the Philadelphia 76ers' turn to make a choice.

If the 76ers make a mistake and finally choose Vucevic, then everything is over!

"The 15th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose..." Stern paused, and Vogel felt his heart almost didn't jump out.

"I chose Kawai Leonard, from San Diego State University!"

After Stern announced the result, Leonard himself was a little surprised. He took the 76ers hat in confusion, obviously not expecting that he would be picked at the 15th overall pick.

"What's the matter!? Didn't the 76ers want Vucevic?" Popovich frowned and asked Fobd, who had already picked up the phone and was about to call the 76ers.

At this time in the audience, Leonard accepted interviews with reporters blankly. This guy himself is a "facial paralyzed physique", plus he is still in a daze, and he is even more speechless.

He was still thinking about what kind of career he would have in Philadelphia, but less than two minutes later, Leonard was the first to experience the cold side of the NBA as a business league.

At the same time in the Spurs box, Forbd just said a few words before hanging up the phone.

"What did the 76ers say? Did they agree to accept George Hill!?" Popovich asked anxiously. He didn't know why the 76ers, who had been disinterested in Leonard, suddenly changed his mind.

Faubd looked upset and shook his head. "They have taken the lead in accepting the Pacers' trade proposal."

"The Pacers?" Even Popovich was dumbfounded now, didn't the Pacers keep yelling for Reggie Jackson? There is no reason!

At this time on stage, David Stern announced a deal.

"In the latest deal, the Indiana Pacers used their 23rd overall pick and Josh McRoberts to get the No. 15 pick from the Philadelphia 76ers, Cavai Leonard."

This transaction did not cause any uproar on the scene, after all, many fans do not even know who Leonard is. But in the Spurs' private room, Popovich and Forbe blew up.

Popovich stared at the big screen at the scene, which was the latest transaction advisory. The Pacers stopped Leonard, what do they want? Take advantage of the fire?

"Ask what the Pacers mean, what chips do we need to get Leonard back!"

Forbd nodded, and called Popovich again. But also without saying a few words, Fu Bud ended the conversation with a cold face.

"Byrd said they are not going to trade Leonard, and at the same time..."

"At the same time?" Popovich knew, something bad happened!

"At the same time, they are no longer interested in the deal between Holiday and George Hill... we missed it, Pop!"

Popovich hit the table with a punch, and he understood everything instantly!

Reggie Jackson and Holiday Holiday were all smoke bombs set by the Pacers to get Leonard! And myself, the experienced self, the old self, has been kept in the dark!

"That bastard!" Popovich yelled, not Larry Bird, but the Asian coach!

Popovich knows very well that only Henson Joe can use so many tricks!

At this time, the "bastard" Popovich called, Henson Joe, who directed all this farce.

He was under the Golden Gate Bridge, hugging his girlfriend and licking ice cream.
