Chapter 41 The Draft Begins

Since the Dallas Mavericks have just finished the finals, both the head coach and the players are exhausted, and they only have one draft pick at the end of the first round in their hands, so there are not many people present for Li Tuanjie's trial training. .

Of course, the lack of many people present does not mean that the Dallas Mavericks do not value Li Tuanjie. If they can use the draft pick at the end of the first round to select Li Tuanjie, they will be very happy.

The last pick in the first round of the draft is not as good as the second round pick in the new year. Such a pick is actually not very important to the Mavericks with a perfect lineup.

Li Tuanjie's performance in the trial training, I feel pretty good, especially in terms of shooting training, my open mid-range shots and running mid-range shots have a very good hit rate.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of several Mavericks management present, they are very satisfied with Li Tuanjie.

Their biggest wish at present is to find a qualified substitute for Nowitzki. In the long run, Li Tuanjie's physical fitness is not outstanding, and the upper limit may not be very high, but in terms of immediate combat power, Li Tuanjie is definitely in the The best of this batch of rookies.

If you don't consider Li Tuanjie's history of mental illness, the Mavericks have no chance to miss Li Tuanjie!

...

After the trial training, Li Tuanjie returned to Stanford International University with Xia Fangfei. Everything that should be done has been done. The draft will be held in two days. He just needs to wait for the news.

Li Tuanjie is not worried that his pick will fall to the second round. He is very confident in this point. The immediate combat power he has shown is definitely worth the risk for those teams that urgently need to fill the strong forward position.

...

On June 23, the NBA's annual draft officially began. A rookie player like Li Tuan, who was sure to be selected, naturally got a chance to enter the field!

The only thing that made Li Tuanjie a little upset was that he didn't get the chance to enter the small green house!

Usually in the draft, those players who are expected to be selected as lottery picks will be invited by the NBA to the small green room on the scene!

The so-called lottery show generally refers to the players selected by the top fourteen, so there are currently fourteen players in the small green room!

Aldridge, an acquaintance of Li Tuanjie, is sitting in the small green room, waiting for the start of the draft!

"What the hell are you doing? You are much stronger than the players in the small green room. Why don't you let us into the small green room?!" Xia Fangfei sat next to Li Tuanjie with a displeased face.

Li Tuanjie shook his head and smiled. He didn't say much. Li Tuanjie was really disappointed that he didn't enter the small green room, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a chance to be selected by the lottery show!

Historically, even if they entered the small green room, there were many players who were finally selected at the end of the first round or even the second round.

"Li Tuanjie, you didn't enter the little green room?!" While Xia Fangfei was complaining, Rondo came over and sat down at their small table.

"Rondo, you are not the same..."

"Hey, this draft management committee is a bunch of idiots. The results we achieved in the joint trial training were simply not too explosive. They didn't even give us the chance to enter the small green room!" Rondo also looked unhappy.

During the joint trial training, Li Tuanjie and Rondo performed the best. Unfortunately, neither of them had the chance to enter the small green room!

...

While the two were chatting, NBA Commissioner David Stern came on stage, and the scene fell silent instantly!

The draft has really begun!

"It's the annual draft again, and I'm very happy to see a lot of fresh blood from the NBA here. I wish you guys all the best in advance to make a name for yourself in the NBA!"

After Stern took the stage, he encouraged the rookies on the scene, and then the draft officially began!

"The Toronto Raptors, with the first pick in the first round, selected a forward player from Italy: Andrea Bargnani."

Bargnani was elected as the No. 1 pick, which was expected by everyone. Almost all draft prediction lists listed Bargnani as the No. 1 pick.

After being the No. 1 pick in the draft, Bargnani walked out of the small green room excitedly, and shook hands with Stern enthusiastically!

Although Europe has newcomers entering the NBA almost every year, Bargnani is the first European draft pick, and everyone is optimistic about his future!

"The Chicago Bulls, with the second pick in the first round, selected forward player from the University of Texas: LaMarcus Aldridge!"

After Stern announced the news, Li Tuanxi in the audience was a little bit embarrassed, but history did not change in the end, and Aldridge finally got the second place in the list.

"If it wasn't for that damn guy named Rosen, maybe I would have a chance to get the second pick!" Li Tuanjie said that he was not envious of Aldridge's position. Not much.

"The Charlotte Bobcats, with the third pick in the first round, selected forward Adam Morrison from Gonzaga University!"

"The Minnesota Timberwolves, with the sixth pick in the first round, selected guard player from the University of Washington: Brandon Roy!"

"The Houston Rockets, with the eighth pick in the first round, selected forward player from the University of Connecticut: Rudy Gay!"

The selection of the top eight players has come out, and Li Tuanjie is a little anxious. There are only six left in the lottery show. If Li Tuanjie is still not selected in the next six opportunities, it means that Li Tuanjie missed out. For a chance to be a lottery pick!

As for Rondo next to Li Tuanjie, he was already scolding his mother angrily!

"The shady, it's definitely his mother's shady, I performed so well in the trial training, why no one chooses me!" Rondo yelled, originally he didn't have high expectations for his draft pick, but the joint test The outstanding performance in training made him suddenly hopeful!

He felt that with his own performance, not to mention the top three picks, he could at least be in the top ten draft positions!

Li Tuan smiled, and didn't say much about Rondo's anger. In fact, although Rondo showed an excellent overall situation view and pass control ability in the joint trial training, his shortcomings are also very obvious, and that is his projection. The ability is terrible, it can even be said to be scum!

A small point guard with a height of 1.8 meters and no shooting ability? ! The average team really dare not take the risk of choosing him!

"The Orlando Magic, with the 11th pick in the first round, selected guard player from Duke University: J-J-Redick!"

The rookie with the eleventh pick came out, not Li Tuanjie. Next, he only has the last three chances left!
