As the championship fell to Oklahoma, the smoke that filled the whole season gradually dissipated. However, this does not mean that this season is completely over. Because, the annual award ceremony has not been held yet. Since the reform of Adam Xiaohua, a number of individual awards including the regular season MVP each season will be officially announced after the finals.
This is a very targeted change. Whether everyone likes it or not, this ceremony has indeed continued the NBA's popularity for at least half a month. You know, in the past, after the championship came out, the entire league would fall asleep like those animals that needed to hibernate, and would not wake up until October, when the war reignited next season.
The annual awards ceremony for the 2017-18 season was held on June 26, Westbrook invited Anlow and Paul George to attend. But before that, they will first go to the draft.
On June 22, the 2018 NBA Draft will be held at Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. It is said that the quality of this rookie is very high, the highest in recent years. This evaluation can be said to be quite high! You know, although the rookies of the past two years did not immediately show up many star players, but Anlor, Simmons, Mitchell, Tatum, Siakam, and Sabonis are all designated as At least the players who can be selected for the All-Stars are also recognized as the players most likely to become the future representatives of the league. And this year, it was actually evaluated as the most in recent years.
There are reasons for this speculation. On the way to New York, Westbrook popularized Anro about these rookies. An Luo really opened his eyes.
The popular player for the top pick is Ayton, a first-year player from the University of Arizona. This guy is known as a historically talented insider beast. He has outstanding athletic ability, excellent inside footwork, and good shooting ability. He has all the conditions to become an All-Star player. It is said that Phoenix was determined at the moment when they got the No. 1 pick, they would choose Ayton. Although there are still a few players who are not inferior to Ayton this year, for the Suns, they need such an inside player to partner with Devin Booker to lead the team out of the predicament.
In addition to Ayton, there are European swingman Luka Doncic, high-quality shooter Tere Young from the University of Oklahoma, and defensive center Bamba from the University of Texas. These are regarded as rookies with the potential to become All-Star players.
Of course, these rookies An Luo are not particularly familiar. Many of them have heard of names. After all, in the NBA circle, there are many new blood joining in every year. Those newcomers who are particularly outstanding are naturally the focus of attention. If you are relatively familiar, Trey Yang Anluo is considered to have dealt with. The same goes for Westbrook and Paul George. After all, they all play in Oklahoma. Anlo has seen this guy at the Chesapeake Energy Arena more than once. Anlo has also been to the University of Oklahoma to watch NCAA games, and has some impression of Trey Young.
Although they participated in the draft, it does not mean that this year's draft has much to do with the Thunder. After all, they haven't drawn a top pick in the draft for many years! Nothing happened to them this year. They also only have one second-round pick. Although there are occasional beads, the probability of that is still quite small.
In the end, the Suns chose Ayton without any surprise. When he put on the hat belonging to Phoenix, countless fans who looked forward to the Suns fantasized about what this pair of "OK" groups belonging to Phoenix would grow up to be. However, it is only a theoretical matter that they lead the sun out of trouble and to glory.
"Ann, Paul, let's make a bet. Who will go up next? A hundred dollars!"
Westbrook suddenly proposed. He didn't propose before Ayton went up, showing that Ayton was indeed the champion. But next, it's really a bit confusing.
"I chose the kid from Real Madrid. He is really comprehensive! He is the next LeBron. Ann?"
"Dear Russell, why did you choose first?"
Westbrook's gambling game was not successfully opened. Both Anlo and Paul George focused on the bald head who came out again.
The Kings, who had an evening sign in hand, finally chose the offensive power forward Marvin Bagley from Duke University.
"Wow! Are the people in Sacramento crazy? How can this guy compare to Luke? Why don't you choose the little guy from Oklahoma!"
In this regard, An Luo disagrees ~EbookFREE.me~ The Kings already have a Fox. Last year's rookie is also a young man with the potential to become a star player. Picking a high-quality offensive fourth position is just right. But the Kings' surprising ability to train new players is really worrying about Bagley's future situation.
Later, the eagle made a deal with the Lone Ranger and helped Cuban grab the European boy Doncic he was thinking of. And they also arrived at Trey Young, known as "Little Curry".
In the second round, the Thunder chose a Virginia senior named Devin Hall to serve as a shooting guard. However, the Anluo three people are not optimistic about each other's development. After all, the current Thunder is centered and the backcourt players are still sufficient. And there are also second-position players such as Ferguson who are very valuable in training.
Throughout the draft, An Luo remembered four or five names! These people, like seeds, are taken home by various teams and planted in their own fields, waiting for a few months to take root and then bloom and bear fruit.
Seeing those expressions of surprise, excitement, calmness, or disapproval, An Luo couldn't help but sigh. Two years ago, like this guy, he sat nervously in the small green room, waiting for his destiny. I have to say that he used to be angry because his draft was too low in the draft. Now think about it, if he was picked by the Celtics, Lakers and even Philadelphia at that time, would he still be like this? He never thought about what he would grow into if a team had cultivated himself as a core player from the beginning. However, in the Thunder, with the help of Westbrook, he felt that his steps were very stable. It's not easy to find a team that suits you. Fortunately, the Thunder moved him to Oklahoma in the draft two years ago.
