June 24, 2016. The Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York is full of seats.
As a popular player in the draft, An Luo was invited to the "Little Green House".
But he is a little nervous now. I never thought I would sit in this place, but my fate is so unpredictable.
Sitting in this area with him was Ben Simmons, and Anro could be regarded as seeing a real person. According to reports, the Philadelphia 76ers have announced that they are determined to win. This guy finally stopped playing big cards today! Don't yell to go to Los Angeles, after all, the attraction of the No. 1 pick is still very big.
However, An Luo took a look, this guy is really handsome!
Well, Ingram next to him is a bit worse in appearance. This guy An Luo has seen him a few times, but at any time he feels like he is not awake.
Of course, guys like Jaylen Brown and Buddy Hild are also on the nearby table.
With the appearance of NBA President Adam Silver on the stage, the 2016 draft will officially begin.
He first reviewed the situation of the nba 2015 season. In particular, I introduced this year's finals. The Cavaliers reversed the Golden State Warriors 1:3, and James fulfilled his team's commitment to Cleveland. Then, he announced the start of the draft.
The Philadelphia 76ers with the No. 1 pick will have 5 minutes to decide their choice.
In these 5 minutes, the director's camera turned to Ben Simmons countless times. Twenty years ago, the Philadelphia 76ers drafted legendary star Allen Iverson in the draft. Since then, he has never won the No. 1 lottery.
Unsurprisingly, the 76ers with the No. 1 pick selected Ben Simmons from Louisiana State University with the first pick in the first round. The 19-year-old Australian became the new son of Philadelphia!
As Xiao Hua said Ben Simmons's name, huge cheers rang out from the audience. An Luo's heart that had sunk in his stomach suddenly lifted up. He didn't know when he would be selected, and for a moment, he even felt that his name would not be pronounced in the bald mouth.
Next, the Lakers really chose Brandon Ingram.
Again, there are no unexpected choices. In fact, this year's rookies are still very good in terms of potential. There are "Little James" Ben Simmons," Little Durant, "Ingram," Little Curry, "Anlow...
Starting with the third overall pick, this draft is somewhat unpredictable.
The Boston Celtics finally chose Jaylen Brown, which is somewhat unexpected. In fact, Jaylen Brown, who also belongs to the Pacific 12 Schools League, was crushed by An Luo in terms of honor and team leadership. It stands to reason that An Luo should be in front of him. But there are many things to consider when choosing a team, and everything is possible.
Next, the Suns chose the big man Dragan Bender from Croatia; the Timberwolves chose Chris Dunn, the best point guard of the year, the model of this guy is Dwyane Wade; he was eliminated by Anlo in the naa semifinals. The lost Buddy Hild was selected by the Pelicans with the sixth overall pick, which made Anlo a little uncomfortable.
But what can be done!
Until the thirteenth pick, An Luo felt colder and colder. Even if Bill Duffy kept telling An Luo, things might not be too bad. He thought he was not the champion or at least the top three, but now it seems that he is about to fall out of the lottery zone.
Seeing that one of his defeated players was selected by the high overall pick, even Thornemaker, a big man who many people had failed to pass, was selected by the Bucks in the 10th overall pick! He was not convinced!
The live director now frequently cut the shots to An Luo, boosing from the audience.
At that moment, An Luo felt that the whole world was watching his jokes.
Until a few days before the draft, An Luo was still in the top three on the major prediction lists. As the saying goes, the higher you jump, the harder you fall. Even if he is not willing to jump so high himself.
"Bill, will I fall out of the lottery zone?" Anlo asked, looking at Bill Duffy.
"No worries, Ann." Bill Duffy's face is also a little heavy, but he is not as anxious as An Luo: "In the situation we previously envisioned, Phoenix will choose you with the thirteenth overall pick."
"But we envisioned many situations, this is the worst!"
"No, the worst is losing. But Ann, you will definitely not lose! Right? There are many players who will lose, but even if they lose, they can still play in the NBA. Everything, but the starting point is different."
"Ok!"
"Don't worry, Xiao Luo. You can definitely choose it!" Fu Yao also comforted.
As for Papa An, he was anxious that An Luo would not be selected and go back to study hard.
People have to bow their heads to reality, and Anluo once again lowered his goal a bit, just to be a first-round pick.
However, this world is always very strange. The more you expect something to happen, the less it will make you wish; once you don't expect it, it will become!
"The 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, the Phoenix Suns chose An Luo, from!"
Finally, An Luo's name was pronounced by the bald head.
The applause and boos on the scene were changed into one, and the momentum was not less than the number one pick!
An Luo was not excited. After he got up and hugged An, Fu Yao, and Bill Duffy, he found the Suns hat from the staff and walked onto the stage wearing it.
After shaking hands with Xiao Hua for a photo, An Luo came to the stage to be interviewed by reporters.
Regarding the draft pick question asked by the reporter~EbookFREE.me~ An Luo answered very officially.
"Every young man has different talents, but every team will choose the most suitable player."
In fact, An Luo is very grateful to the sun. Their choice saved Anlo's face as a favorite player in this draft. But An Luo knew in his heart that he was not in the sun's future plans. They already have a Devin Booker, it is impossible to choose a player with similar technical characteristics and physical conditions.
Sure enough, the nba official immediately announced a deal: Oklahoma City Thunder used the signing rights of the 2015 14th show Cameron Payne and Alex Afrines in exchange for the Suns' 13th rookie. An Luo.
This transaction did not cause much attention. Barely be regarded as a win-win situation, both teams get what they need. The Suns strengthened the weak position at the first position, and the Thunder can rely on An Luo to solve the problem of insufficient offense at the second position. If the excellent defensive ability can be transferred to the NBA arena together, then the Thunder can make a lot of money.
An Luo is also very satisfied. With Westbrook in the Thunder, his rookie period should not be so sad. After all, the same brother Shi, who had been strongly invited by Westbrook at the beginning, An Luo went to the trial!
