Vol 2 Chapter 553: 2014 NBA Draft

In overseas markets, China is the big one, and it will grow bigger, which is why Stern and Xiao Hua mentioned.
He didn't know if Xiao Hua had really changed his mind, but at least the signal looked positive.
This year's draft conference is June 26, and the venue is the same as last year at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Because there are top rookies like Embiid and Wiggins, this year is also recognized as a draft year.
In addition to playing the Finals Spurs and Heat two teams, other teams have already begun preparations.
The Pelicans are one of them.
Under Tang Tian's proposal, after Demps had operated in the draft for a while, the day before the draft began, which was the first time the draft was allowed to trade, a deal was concluded with the Clippers.
The Pelicans gave Austin Rivers and a second-round pick in 2015, and traded from the Clippers to get each other's first-round pick this year.
The Clippers ranked fourth in the league last season, and their draft pick has been determined to be the 27th overall pick this year.
The transaction value of this ranking is obviously not high.
And the Clippers lineup is stable, Rivers is not good at using rookies, so instead of choosing a last rookie, it is better to have someone who can use it.
Rivers Jr. has a final year left on his contract. The risk is small, and more importantly, the Clippers coach Rivers is the father of Rivers Jr.
This is also an important reason for the transaction between the two parties.
After the deal was completed, Rivers and Sons became the first father and son to play in the same team in NBA history!
On June 28, the 2014 NBA Draft came as scheduled, and the draft teams of each team have arrived at the Barclays Center.
Walker has come to the draft as well as the past two years. This year his younger brother Napier is going to participate in the draft!
But this time he was with Lam.
As for Tang Tian, ​​he entered the Pelicans draft office with Demps!
At first Tang Tian joked that if he led the team to the playoffs, he would have a say in the management. The Pelicans did not take that as a joke and cashed it in!
And the cash is unabashed.
Tang Tian's entry into the draft office was unavoidably seen by people from other teams, and they all showed a surprised look.
It's really rare that players enter the draft office.
Popovich even greeted Tang Tian.
Tang Tian also saw Cuban, who had a smile on his face.
Soon after the draft team of each team entered the draft office, the curtain of the draft conference officially opened.
Stern retired last season, and this time the person who broadcasted the draft became Xiao Hua, which is also the first draft conference of Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua smiled. At the beginning of the season, he was finally free.
He was greeted by a boo, much bigger than Boo Stern.
It is obvious that fans are dissatisfied with Xiao Hua's performance last season.
Xiao Hua did not change his face, and waited for the boo to drop before he started his draft.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Barclays Center in New York, Brooklyn Night ...
The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014 belongs to the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have five minutes to consider. "
When Xiao Hua announced his first pick, the scene was booing again.
Obviously, before the fans talked about the Cavaliers inside the draw, this kind of argument did not diminish over time.
This year's No. 1 pick was originally selected for Embiid, but Embiid had undergone surgery for a stress fracture of his right foot before the draft and required 4-6 months to recover.
In this way Wiggins became the biggest hit.
Wiggins' talent is bursting, known as the next James. Without Embiid's competition, he basically locked the No. 1 pick.
And more importantly, the Cavaliers' front line is also lacking.
Five minutes later, Xiao Hua stepped out again and announced the Cavaliers' choice.
"In the first round of the NBA in the first round in 2014, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Andrew Wiggins, a 2.03 small forward from the University of Kansas."
with no doubt.
Andrew Wiggins became the 2014 draft pick.
Wiggins had a big mouth. After taking office, he grinned and was captured by reporters. He looked very happy.
Tang Tian watched this process in the cabin of the draft office.
Wiggins' talent is hard to say, but the professional attitude is very problematic. Putting wolfberry in the insulation cup is the N season.
But he was curious. The Cavaliers chose Wiggins as in history. Will James go to the Cavaliers after winning the championship? Will the Cavaliers use Wiggins to trade Love?
History has changed, so guessing these things is really interesting.
The Bucks have the second overall pick, and they chose Jabary Parker, the second-best player outside Wiggins.
Parker averaged 19.1 points per game at Duke University, and set a number of freshman Duke freshman scores in points, rebounds and double-doubles.
This choice of the Bucks is not surprising, and it is the same as in history.
The third overall pick is for the Mavericks.
This choice attracted Tang Tian's curiosity.
In history, this ranking belongs to 76. Now when it comes to the Mavericks, who they will choose, Tang Tian doesn't know.
It's hard to say whether to bet on Embiid like the 76ers or choose a more secure Aron Gordon or Randall.
Xiao Hua appeared at the front desk for the third time.
"In the first round of the NBA in the third round in 2014, the Dallas Mavericks chose ... Joel Embiid, the center center at 2.13 meters from the University of Kansas.
Embiid!
Cuban really understood the ball and was willing to bet.
History has changed a lot here, and the Mavericks will become a competitive rival in the future.
Now it depends on whether Embiid's recovery is the same as history.
Under the butterfly effect, no one knows whether Embiid's injury recovery is still the same as in history.
If he can play early, then Embiid + Nowitzki, plus the third giant and some role players, the Mavericks will definitely be a rival.
The fourth pick is the 76ers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Embiid is cut off. Whoever they choose will be equally curious.
Xiao Hua appeared before the stage for the fourth time.
"The fourth round of the first round of the 2014 NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose Julius Randall. The 2.06 power forward came from the University of Kentucky."
Randall is exceptionally talented. His draft market was originally high, but the poor performance of the NCAA tournament caused him to fall to the edge of the lottery.
Even the pre-draft forecast is around nine or ten.
It seems the Sixers know him better than most teams.
After that, the fifth-ranked Magic team selected Gordon, and the sixth-ranked Jazz team chose Exam, which are basically the same as in history.
The 24th overall Bobcats also chose Napier and were traded to the Heat.
When the pick came to the 27th pick, it was finally the Pelicans' turn.
