The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The two major sports media will broadcast the draft live in real time.

Of course, on social media, the well-known God of Woj and other journalists are also ready to use speed to gain attention for their personal twitter.

"Who do you think the Cavaliers will choose as the No. [-] pick this year?" Brin had already asked before the draft began, and this was the warm-up for the draft.

"Kyrie Irving," Miller said first.

"Yes, Irving, after Barnes withdrew from the draft, he is basically a sure candidate." Barkley also echoed.

"Kyrie Irving, the Cavaliers already have JJ Hickson, and they have a fifth pick this year, and Tristan Thompson, who has soared in the draft recently, is also a very good power forward candidate, They don’t necessarily have to want Derek Williams.” Smith’s answer is also Owen’s, but his analysis is more thorough.

"It seems that Irving is the No. [-] candidate that all of us think." Brin spread his hands, and this was the first time that the four of them had such a consistent opinion.

Just when they were talking here, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami, and the league president David Stern came out from the backstage.

The old man in his seventies has taken over the position of league president from O'Brien in 1984. It has been a full 27 years. He has entered and exited this stage more than 800 times.

"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening, and welcome to fans across the United States, and to American fans watching on TNTV and Canadian fans watching on CBCTV, welcome to the 2011 NBA Draft at the Prudential Center and welcome you to join us , and some fans who are coming here, thank you for your attendance."

With the familiar lines and the same style for more than 20 years, Tang Tian was quite touched when he heard it offstage.

"Let's get started, the No. 2011 pick in the NBA in 5 came from the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they had five minutes to make a decision."

After the opening remarks, Stern announced the ownership of the No. [-] pick.

Almost a month ago, the NBA lottery teams had completed the lottery ceremony, and the final results were announced.

However, there are some subtle differences from the previous results.

The No. 0.5 pick still belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They use the first-round pick from the Clippers to draw this pick with a [-]% probability.

The second overall pick did not belong to the Timberwolves like in the previous life, but was lucky draw by the Pistons.

The third overall pick still belongs to the Jazz.

The lottery draw is actually the top three picks, and the other picks are arranged in order of record from worst to best.

Five minutes later, Stern came out of the backstage again and announced the Cavaliers' final selection.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2011, selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers, a 1 meter point guard, from Duke University."

When Stern announced the final result, the Cavaliers fans cheered.

It is already a nine out of [-] thing that Irving became the No. [-] pick, but when the real result was announced, they still felt excited.

Thanks to the lucky hands of owner Dan Gilbert's son, Nick Jr., the Cavaliers have found another cornerstone after James.

Irving got up and hugged his relatives and friends, took the Cavaliers hat from the staff with a smile on his face, and then walked briskly towards the stage.

There was a bit of envy in Walker's eyes at this time. You must know that in the second half against Duke, he suppressed Irving, but talent still determines that Irving can become the No. [-] pick.

Owen took a photo with Stern on stage.

There was applause at the scene.

Tang Tian also reached out to applaud him. Judging from Duke's reaction after the loss, Irving was pretty good.

After Irving, the Pistons with the second pick also have 5 minutes to think about it.

Tang Tian looked at the stage very curiously at this time, the draft was different from his previous life, and he didn't know what choice the Pistons would make in the end.

Chapter 124 "Proud" Thompson

Five minutes later, Stern came out from behind the stage again.

This time it's the Pistons fans' turn to look forward to it. Since the disbandment of the "Five Tigers", they have been sinking for a long time. Now that they have finally won the second pick, they naturally hope to choose a cornerstone for the team.

The suspense of the No. [-] pick is not much, but there are more choices for the No. [-] pick.

Derrick Williams, Monroe, Kanter, even Tristan Thompson, Walker are potential candidates.

"The second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2011, the Pistons selected Greg Monroe, a 2-meter center, from Georgetown University."

Hearing the final result announced by Stern, Tang Tian nodded, which made sense.

Monroe stayed for an extra year, and he really deserved the pick.

The Jazz with the third overall pick selected Kanter as the No. [-] pick.

The Timberwolves took Derrick Williams with the fourth overall pick.

Williams' expression was very ugly. He was originally the No. [-] pick, and even the top two candidates in the major prediction lists, but he did not expect to fall to fourth.

But this is the uncertainty of the draft. Both the Pistons and the Jazz want to choose a big man, and Williams does not meet their requirements.

The Cavaliers selected Tristan Thompson with the fifth overall pick. Thompson finally earned himself a rocket-like promotion through his excellent performance in training.

"A deal happened, and the Charlotte Bobcats have the sixth pick." Just when the draft was at the sixth pick, Stern's first words changed from before.

The first trade of this year's draft was born.

On the large scrolling screen in the background, the details of the transaction were displayed.

The Charlotte Bobcats traded their starting point guard DJ Augustin, this year's No. 9 pick, to the Raptors for the No. 6 pick and Jarrett Jack.

Augustin averaged 14.4 points and 6.1 assists per game as a junior last season, and he has grown up. The Bobcats use him to trade the No. 6 pick at this time, which is obviously going to pick a point guard.

Walker, Knight, and Fredette are the most likely candidates to be selected.

"The sixth pick in the first round of the NBA in 2011, the Charlotte Bobcats selected Kemba Walker, a 1-meter point guard from the University of Connecticut."

Walker breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his name called.

The sixth pick is actually not bad, especially except for the Cavaliers, the other four teams are all big men. He was selected at this pick, and he can be regarded as the second best point guard after Irving this year. Ball back again.

Walker stood up and was the first to hug Calhoun, followed by his parents, and other relatives and friends, who took the Bobcats hats handed over by the staff.

Walker deliberately glanced in the direction where Tang Tian was sitting before taking the stage, and winked at him.

Tang Tian smiled when he saw Walker's eyes.

It seems that after watching UConn's previous game against North Carolina, Mr. Joe valued Walker a lot. This was because he was afraid of being cut off by other teams. He would rather trade Augustine and choose Walker.

However, this may also have something to do with Walker's performance in the trial training. Procopio's guidance still allowed Walker to make a lot of progress.

When Walker took the stage for a group photo, he revealed the red jacket he was wearing underneath, which drew cheers from the audience.

When he stepped off the stage, he pointed at Tang Tian's jacket and winked.

Tang Tian also smiled and revealed his red jacket.

The two of them are matching signs.

After Walker stepped down, he went to the media room for an interview under the guidance of the staff.

The Wizards with the seventh pick chose Brandon Knight and traded him to the Pistons, getting Ed Davis (the seventh pick in 2010, averaging 7 points and 9.7 rebounds in his rookie season), Austin Daye and a future second-round pick.

When the eighth pick came, a big three-party deal appeared on the scene, and it was also related to the Bobcats.

The Bucks sent Corey Maggette, John Salmons and this year's No. 10 pick for Benno Udrih, Stephen Jackson, Sean Livingston and the Bobcats' No. 19 pick.

The Kings sent Benno Udri and the No. 8 pick to get John Salmons and this year's No. 10 pick.

The Bobcats sent Stephen Jackson and Sean Livingston and the No. 19 pick to get Corey Maggette and the No. 8 pick.

The Bobcats selected Bismack Biyombo with the eighth pick, a 2-meter power forward from Congo.

With the ninth overall pick, the Raptors selected Valanciunas from Europe.

The Kings selected Jimmer Fredette with the [-]th overall pick.

There are only fourteen picks in the lottery show, and at this point in the draft, there are only the last four lottery spots left.

In the small green room, there are still 7 people sitting, that is to say, at least three of them will fall out of the lottery.

It's a cruel thing. Rashad Lewis was there at the time. He knew that he was selected by the team in the second round. He must have collapsed at the end of the sitting.

"With the 2011th pick in the first round of the NBA in 11, the Golden State Warriors selected Klay Thompson, a 2-meter shooting guard from Washington State University."

Thompson sat in the small green room for a long time. When he got up, he took a long breath, smiled and hugged his relatives and friends, and then took the Warriors hat from the staff and went on stage.

Thompson was selected, and Tang Tian was the only one left among the three hard-working brothers during the offseason.

The draft on stage is still going on.

At this time, Fagan had already returned, and it seemed that Walker had finished accepting media interviews.

"Kemba went chatting with Michael (Jordan)." Fagan came over and sat down next to Tang Tian, ​​and then said.

Tang Tian nodded.

Walker can be selected with the sixth overall pick, and Fegan must have played a big role in it.

At this moment, his cell phone vibrated, and he took it out to see that it was from Thompson.

"I won this time, and I am waiting for your good news."

There is not much content, and it can be seen from Thompson's words that he is still a little proud.

That's right, he has been abused by Tang Tian every day for the past two months, but he has a higher draft pick than Tang Tian, ​​so he naturally wants to be "complacent".

"Soon." Tang Tian put away the phone after replying to the message.

By this time the lottery picks were almost done.

The Rockets used their No. 14 pick to take Marcus Morris, the remaining brother of the Morris brothers.

The lottery show ends here.

The lottery show is actually a dividing line. Before this, all the rookies went to the lottery team of last season, and they will get a lot of opportunities, but the outside of the lottery are all playoff teams, and they want to play. Time can only depend on strength.

Except for the lottery, the selection of each team is relatively random, which is quite different from the previous prediction list of the media.

The draft has come to the 25th pick without knowing it, and this is the time for the Nets to choose.

"Tang, where is Tang?" At this stage, the four members in the commentary booth were tired of chatting, and Kenny Smith suddenly said.

After the fight between UConn and Duke, Smith was very optimistic about Tang Tian, ​​and now he finally remembered him.

Chapter 125 The Heat's Choice

"Yes, Don, Kenny, you reminded me. That guy is said to have only participated in the Heat's trial training, and his performance was terrible. I don't know what he and his team are doing." Barkley began to complain at this moment .

"Do you think the Nets will choose him? There is no other better choice for this pick, and the Chinese market in New Jersey is not small." Brin took over.

"I think it is possible. It would be a good choice to choose Tang at the end of the first round. Tang's performance in the NCAA is very eye-catching. Although he did not handle the trial training well, I think the risk is worth it." Miller also echoed.

In fact, it's not just the commentators who are looking forward to it, because the draft site is in New Jersey, and there are many Chinese fans among the fans, and they also hope that their home team can select Tang Tian.

After Yi Jianlian, there have been no Chinese on the NBA stage for several years, let alone Yi Jianlian's current dissatisfaction. They urgently need a new spiritual sustenance.

While speaking, Stern came out from behind the stage again.

"The 2011th pick in the first round of the NBA in 25, the New Jersey Nets selected...Marshan Brooks, a 1 meter shooting guard, from Providence College."

Stern announced the Nets' pick, and there was an uproar.

What Brooks to choose!Choose Tang Tian!

Smith shook his head. He didn't speak because of his status, but if he remembered correctly, Tang Tian beat Brooks every time in the NCAA.

The chatting among the four commentators continued, because there wasn't much interesting stuff, and the focus of their discussion became the prediction of where Tang Tian would be selected.

The 26th pick belongs to the Nuggets, who used this pick to select Jordan Hamilton.

"Dude! Dude! What's this?" Smith couldn't help complaining this time.

Although the Heat released news that Tang Tian did not perform well in the trial training, there was more than one person who did the trial training. Tang Tian's performance in the two trial trainings was still spread through the mouths of other players who participated in the trial training.

Hamilton was the player who was completely blown out by Tang Tian in the trial training. Now he has been selected, but Tang Tian has not yet been selected.

Barkley laughed and patted Smith on the shoulder, signaling his old partner to calm down.

The voice of the commentary booth was not too loud at the scene, but because Tang Tian was sitting near the commentary booth, he could still hear it roughly.

He didn't expect that several commentators would discuss him, and they were so devoted.
