The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 227
"University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Anthony Bennett was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the No. 2013 pick in the 1 draft!"

When Stern stood on the stage and announced the 2013 No. [-] candidate, the whole scene was in an uproar.

"Who is this guy?"

"Why is he the champion?"

"Are the Cavaliers crazy?"

Many people don't even believe their ears, why did the Cavaliers choose him?
As a player who is expected to be selected in the middle of the first round, although Anthony Bennett has outstanding physical fitness, his skills are too rough, so it is impossible for him to be the top pick!

Perhaps the Cavaliers' management thought that every young player has the same learning ability as Li Pu, and develops a new ability every year.

As it turns out, Bennett can't.

Before Bennett, people had different opinions on the worst No. [-] pick in NBA history. Some said it was Kwame Brown, some said it was Michael Olowokandi, but when Bennett came out, all this There is no argument.

He is the most water champion, everyone recognizes that there is no one!

As a No. [-] pick, he couldn't even finish a season and was abandoned by the team. How badly did he have to perform to disappoint the team so much?
Li Pu, who was sitting in front of the TV, even though he already knew the result, was still incredulous when he saw this scene. Could it be that the Cavaliers really thought that as long as he was a 203cm small forward, he was James?
Just then, his phone rang.

"Hello? I saw it. Didn't I analyze it before? So I'm not too surprised. It's okay. Others don't care, just choose according to the original plan..."

"Shhhhh..."

After hanging up the phone, Li Pu could still hear the boos coming from the TV. Obviously, the audience couldn't understand the selection rules of the Cavaliers.

After that, the choices of other teams were similar to what Li Pu originally thought: the Magic chose Oladipo at the second place, the Wizards chose Otto Porter, the great Joe, and with the fourth pick, he chose Cody Porter for the Bobcats. Zeller.

All I can say is: As expected of you, Chief Qiao!It's true that I haven't changed my mind!
In this way, before I knew it, I had come to the selection of the No. 7 show.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Vivek, already in his 50s, was as excited as a child at this time.

"Dad, the previous picks were all guessed by Prince, so don't worry!"

"I know, that guy has been too accurate in reading people these two years, like a fortune teller, but after all, this is my first rookie after buying the team. Of course I'm excited!"

Divac on the side was very puzzled. Could it be that Prince they were talking about?Could it be that he suggested the selection of this rookie?

Who will he choose?Ben McLemore?This guy suddenly fell into this position, so he should have no brains to choose him, right?
"The Sacramento Kings selected Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Zaragoza 2013 team with the 7th overall pick in the 2002 draft!"

"Who? Who is this guy?"

"Is the Kings crazy? Ben McLemore didn't choose, but chose a... chose a chopstick?"

"Not all chopsticks are Durant!"

Seeing a skinny young man tiptoe onto the stage, everyone off the court was stunned. What is the general manager of the Kings doing?
However, what they didn't know was that the general manager Divac who was complained by them was also very confused at this time.

"Who did you choose?"

Since Divac just came to the team to report yesterday, many things have not had time to get started, so An Jiali is fully responsible for this draft.

Therefore, it is only now that Divac knows who the Kings have chosen?

No wonder you refused to say no matter how I asked before, are you two crazy?Don't choose Ben McLemore, choose this Ade... Art... What the hell, do you know the ball?
Divac felt pitiful at this time!What a pit!
I am crazy to choose to join the king and let this father and daughter mess around!
If I don't take any remedial measures, I'm afraid my fame will be ruined in their hands!
In order to avoid being nailed to the pillar of shame forever, Divac planned to ask clearly: "Boss, you..."

Just when Divac was about to speak, seeing the two people's reactions were also uneasy, An Jiali even took out her mobile phone and dialed the number again.

"Don't worry, I think Giannis is very suitable for us, no, but don't forget, did I say I missed it in the past two years? Don't worry, I am very accurate!"

Li Pu's reassurance finally made An Jiali feel relieved.

After graduating from college this year, she did not become a singer as she said before. Instead, after being influenced by Li Pu, she followed her father's advice and came to the Kings as an assistant to the general manager.

Since Divac hadn't taken office before, she took advantage of this power vacuum period and had her father's backing to let her do a lot of things, but if this first thing failed, then she would be in the king's team in the future. It was difficult.

"Shh..."

At this time, outside the box, the entire arena was booed again. The object of their booing was Antetokounmpo who had just been selected by the king and walked off the stage in a daze.

Seeing this scene, An Jiali felt even more uncertain.

Afterwards, the draft conference was still proceeding step by step.

The Thunder used the No. 12 pick given by the Rockets to select center Steven Adams, who was still a fresh meat at this time. This scene did not attract the attention of the fans.

After all, now Li Pu's backup center is Thabeet, second in the list of parallel importers. Li Pu's template back then is completely useless now. It is reasonable for the Thunder to choose a backup center.

The only pity is that choosing a backup center with the 12th pick is somewhat wasteful!

But considering that the Thunder team has a complete lineup, and the three Thunder players are gradually reaching the peak, the future of the Thunder team is smooth.

Only the Thunder team knows how much trouble they have encountered!

Li Pu, the troublemaker, turned off the TV in satisfaction after seeing the Kings draft Mike Muscala with the 36th overall pick in the second round.

Coming to the balcony of the hotel, looking at the night outside the window, Li Pu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Ever since Harden was traded last year, Li Pu has understood that even if he helps the Thunder win the championship, even if he uses the influence of the Chinese market to earn more money for the team, he still cannot let the owner Bennett do more for the team. Pay a little luxury tax.

Therefore, Li Pu, heartbroken, no longer regards the old Thunder as the only choice, but actively contacts An Jiali and Vivek.

After winning the championship this year, Li Pu has made it clear to Presti that he will not take less money.

As soon as this sentence came out, it was forcing Presti to trade himself.

After all, it is impossible for the Thunder to keep three players with Rose's clause at the same time without paying the luxury tax.

And after some information that I have deliberately disclosed in the past few years, Vivek and An Jiali have no doubts about their eyes.

With absolute trust, in this way, if he really goes to the Kings, he can rely on the boss and An Jiali to influence the team's management.

Choosing a group of potential rookies and himself who has already "made great achievements", he believes that under his leadership, the king will return to the playoffs many years earlier than the original time and space, and even win the championship!
