Vol 2 Chapter 731: 2016 NBA Draft (3/4!)

After the championship parade was over, Tang Tian invited the team members to spend a night in the bar, and all the expenses were out of his pocket.
After the carnival, the team also disbanded in situ, the players ushered in their new offseason, and Tang Tian and his management prepared for the upcoming draft conference.
Last year was a big year for the draft. This year is relatively small. Except for Simons and Ingram who basically locked the top two, other rookies are much less well-known.
However, for domestic fans, after just witnessing the "home team" Nets win, they will usher in a draft of Chinese players.
The team's inner core Zhou Qi, who has just led the Liaoning team to complete two consecutive championships, will participate in the 16-year draft, and has previously completed the trial training for each team, which has received very high ratings.
Now Zhou Qi has received Tang Tian's advice, has continued special training in the United States, plus the CBA championship bonus, the prospects are much better than previous life predictions. In the prediction rankings of the major lists, they are all within the lotto.
Although it is a draft pick, such a prediction has been quite successful for him.
In addition to Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin also automatically ran for the election due to his age. Although he did not appear in the prediction list of the major lists, the Chinese element of this draft can be said to be quite strong.
The Nets have a total of three draft picks at this draft conference. One is the Wizards' first round of the Wizards trade last year, the 18th pick, and the second round of the deal with the Suns, the 34th pick. And there is his second round of the 55th pick.
In the draft, the 18th pick is a useful lottery for the Nets.
But in fact, this lot can't pick any good people this year.
Those potential rookies and teams that Jones has given to Tang Tian have had limited potential and ability.
In Tang Tian's eyes, the only person worthy of training outside the first round of lottery is Dezhang Murray, who was selected by the Spurs in the previous life. .
Trading down picks is the best option.
Jones also started negotiating with the team at the end of the first round, but there was no feasible plan reached before the draft.
Tang Tian is not in a hurry. The draft conference is also called the trading conference. Most of the transactions will be finalized before and after the conference. Now everyone is just testing.
Time flies, and two days have passed. Tang Tian also went to the draft with Jones and the draft team.
The NBA Draft has moved here from Madison Square Garden since the Barclays Center went live, and this year is no exception.
The Nets have just won the championship, and the enthusiasm for New York basketball has not faded. A lot of local fans have poured into the draft.
Tang Tian met Stevens when he went to the scene. The latter's mood was very low. There were rumors that Durant might not renew the contract with the Thunder. It seems that the news is not groundless.
After comforting Stevens, Tang Tian then entered the draft cabin with the team.
"The 76ers agreed, and they are willing to trade with us with a 26th pick and a 31st pick." Just as he sat down in the draft cabin, Jones received a call from the 76ers.
At the end of the first round, the first pick in the second round was added. Although the draft of the draft pick is not very valuable, this chip is enough sincerity.
"Let them change for the next round next year." Tang Tian thought for a while.
This year's second round is enough. It's useless to trade more. It's better to change to next year. He knows that next year will be a draft year.
Jones nodded and continued to communicate with the 76ers management.
Tang Tian then looked at the draft.
Unlike previous lives, Zhou Qi was also invited to the Green House this year, and he was sitting there nervously with his parents.
The men's basketball team is training in Europe, and he is here for leave.
Wang Zhizheng was initially blocked in China because of the incident in the United States. Now the younger generation can have such a good environment. This is also a breakthrough.
The draft conference will begin soon.
Xiao Hua came out from the background and announced the ownership of the first pick.
The 76ers finished last in the league last season. If they wish, they will win the first lottery. According to previous predictions, they will most likely choose Simmons.
"In the first round of the NBA in the first round in 2016, the Philadelphia 76ers chose Ben Simmons, a 2.08 small forward from Australia."
When Xiao Hua announced the result, Simmons got up excitedly, took over the 76ers hat that had been prepared from the staff, and stepped on the court briskly.
The No. 1 pick is actually settled long before the draft, and the team and the rookie will promise before.
Simmons, Tang Tian knows that this guy's talent is a good cornerstone for team building.
And Australians, speaking of Asian and Australian basketball are merging, Australia's basketball talent is really not comparable to China.
The second pick belongs to the Lakers.
The Lakers had a Bryant retirement season last season. In the final closing game, they scored 60 points and became a classic ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But the Lakers only scored 20 wins last season, the second last in the league, and successfully won the second round.
Their choice is the same as in previous lives, picking 2.06, small forward Brandon Ingram from Duke University.
The third pick belongs to the Celtics.
The Celtics have accumulated a lot of draft picks in the past two years, but unlike the previous life, their third pick is not for the Nets, but for their own fault. Under this premise, they failed to draw. The first two in the middle are really a little bit backward.
Beyond Simmons and Ingram, the general was drawn from the short. Angie's vision was not bad. He chose Jalen Brown from the University of California, Berkeley, the 2.01 forward like the previous life.
Later choices are similar to those in Tang Tian's past impressions.
As Xiao Hua came out of the back and forth again and again, the lottery draft ended soon.
However, Zhou Qi was still not selected.
His previous major rankings on major websites were on the edge of lotto. It seems that the younger ages before the explosion have a great influence on him.
Tang Tian was also very curious at this time. In theory, Zhou Qi and the previous life were not likely to fall to the second round.
If he did fall into that spot, he wouldn't mind picking him in the second round or the end of the first round.
Strengthened Zhou Qi, playing a backup fifth position in the era of small is not a problem at all, and wins in the young.
Xiao Hua stepped out of the background again at this time. The draft picks belong to the Celtics, and they do have a lot of signings.
"The 16th pick in the first round of the 2016 NBA, the Boston Celtics chose Zhou Qi, a 2.16-centre center from China."
Before the draft, there were rumors that the Celtics Zhou Qi had draft promises, and now they have directly fulfilled.
