I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 264 Exciting talent show!Anthony, Wade, all of them?
On June 6, New York's Madison Square Garden, the 26 NBA Draft.

He Li, who is far away in Milwaukee, is still staying at home at this time, sitting on the sofa in the lobby, and is preparing to watch the draft on TV.

To put it bluntly, He Li is just the head of the Bucks, not the team owner or general manager.

He Li pays attention to this draft, but in any case, there is no need to rush to the draft in person.

Since there is no need for this, He Li can only watch the draft at home.

In fact, He Li is also looking forward to what surprises this draft will bring him.

It is worth mentioning that Jeff Austin, the manager who is close to He Li, is not with He Li at this time, but at the draft meeting.

Jeff Austin was influenced by He Li, and he also did a lot of work and hard work before the start of this draft.

Future stars like James, Anthony, Wade, Bosh, David West, Kaman, Jeff Austin have all been in contact.

However, even Wade, who was not noticeable before the draft, was surrounded by many agents,

As He Li's agent, Jeff Austin does have advantages in signing rookies, but sometimes it is not enough to be a decisive factor for a rookie to agree to sign Jeff Austin.

Of course, Jeff Austin also made some gains in this draft, otherwise he would not have time to appear at the draft.

Closer to home, the draft conference is finally on the right track after the early heat.

The long-awaited call came out, and the league president Stern finally stepped onto the stage with the first envelope.

Anyone who has seen this scene knows that as Stern makes the information in the envelope public, this year's No. [-] pick is about to debut.

But who will win the No. [-] pick, and who the knight holding the No. [-] lottery will choose, in fact, there are still many people who can't guess.

After Stern opened the envelope and took a look at the contents inside, Stern also deliberately glanced at the small green room under the stage.

This year's Little Green House is no different from He Li's draft picks in previous years.

It is an area paved with a large green carpet, with twenty tables placed on it, and a basketball placed in the middle of the table.

Invited into the Green Room, lottery-eligible rookies occupy a table, accompanied by their families and agents.

At this time, as Stern looked towards the little green room, the camera on the TV also turned to the little green room.

It can be seen that Anthony, sitting at the leftmost table in the first row, is smiling and looking at the stage with confidence.

But then, the camera focused on James sitting in the middle of the third row.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected LeBron James with the first pick!"

As Stern read the contents of the envelope with a smile, James in the small green room also stood up from his seat with great vigor.

While James was hugging and celebrating with his family, the camera turned to Anthony.

What's interesting is that Anthony just changed his face, as if he noticed that the camera turned to him, and Anthony, who was full of depression and confusion, couldn't help but lower his head.

And his agent immediately stepped forward to say a few words of comfort, and then immediately took out his mobile phone, as if he was looking for the Cavaliers to discuss the situation, or looking for the team that had already obtained the draft commitment to ask about the specific situation.

Soon, the camera shifted to James again. At this time, James had already put on the knight's hat and was about to take a photo with Stern on stage.

Immediately afterwards, he went to the side to accept the draft interview.

The interview with James was not over yet, and Stern stepped down to get the second envelope.

"In the 2003 NBA draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Dakomilicic with the second pick!"

He Li thought that the Timberwolves would choose Anthony, after all, Anthony's talent and ability are too outstanding.

But I don't know if it's the inertia of history, or the Timberwolves really took a fancy to Milicic's talent. As a result, Milicic still became the second pick of the platinum generation.

So, Milicic escaped the rookie killer Larry Brown, only to fall into the rookie grave of the Timberwolves?

In this regard, He Li can only lament the impermanence of fate, maybe Milicic's hit should be a disaster!
Many talented rookies enter the NBA, but they don't grow to the expected level.

In fact, He Li was very lucky to be selected by the Bucks and win the championship in the Bucks.

He Li's success certainly has the factor of "all relying on his own efforts, adding points to Deep Blue", but the help of the team is also an indispensable part of He Li's current achievements.

Rookies need a suitable growth environment and resources to enter the NBA. Some rookies quickly disappear and are marginalized because of a poor growth environment or insufficient ball possession and tactical training.

Of course, even if an amazingly talented player like Milicic is not well-trained in the Timberwolves, he at least has the ball and can play at a certain level.

Perhaps, it is expected to become a role model for Wiggins.

It is said that Milicic participated in the NBA draft to avoid disasters, want to make a lot of money, and live the life of a successful person.

If he can rely on his outstanding talent, clock in and go to work and become a billionaire, his life will not be in vain.

"In the 2003 NBA draft, the Detroit Pistons selected Chris Bosh with the third pick!"

"What? Anthony escaped again?" He Li couldn't believe it when he heard that the candidate was Bosh.

If it weren't for the No. [-] pick in the hands of the Cavaliers, the possibility of Anthony being the No. [-] pick is definitely greater than that of James, at least if you don't open your eyes.

But I never expected that the Timberwolves chose Milicic as the second place inexplicably.

"Wait! Bosh won't participate in the draft as a forward, right?" He Li quickly thought of something.

Because of the playoffs, He Li has no time to pay attention to the joint training camp and team trial training.

But He Li is very clear about the forward draft prospects in the next few years.

He Li also knows how good Bosh's athletic ability and offensive talent are.

If Bosh's neck was not three or four centimeters higher, he would be a small forward.

Bosh has breakthroughs, shooting, and footwork at the basket. Because of his height and good bounce, he is also good at rebounding.

This is completely a standard classical small forward!
Not to mention that Bosh is still tall, not only can play three, but also four.

The Pistons just lack a fourth position with good inside height and good offensive ability.

In this way, it is not unreasonable for the Pistons to choose Bosh.

When the Pistons choose Bosh, they first bet that Bosh can become the second Heli. Even if the bet fails, they can still bet that Bosh can become an extremely important championship puzzle for the Pistons.

In the end, even if Bosh can't play and is not as expected, the Pistons can rely on their excellent static and dynamic talents to trade to other teams that still want to gamble.

In this way, at least the Pistons will not lose money.

However, at this time, it is necessary to care about Anthony's weak heart.

The top pick is popular, but fell out of the top three...

"Wait, we seem to have the fifth pick, right? Anthony won't fall to the fifth pick? If that's the case, will the team still refer to my opinion and take Wade?"

He Li suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.

Perhaps, the Bucks management, who are at the scene of the draft at this time, also have thoughts similar to "I want them all".

In this draft, the Bucks have four first-round picks, namely the Nuggets' No. 13 pick, the Warriors' No. 27 pick, the Supersonics' No. [-] pick, and the Bucks' own No. [-] pick.

If Anthony falls to the fifth pick, the Bucks management will definitely use the Nuggets' fifth pick to win Anthony.

Anyway, Wade's draft market is already outside the tenth pick in the first round. After the Bucks used up the fifth pick, they still have the ninth pick and the No. 13 pick.

There is no need to worry about not being able to win Wade and satisfy He Li's needs.

If the Bucks can really win Anthony and Wade at the same time, then not only Reed will have a super giant substitute in the future, but He Li will also have a super giant substitute.

Perhaps the Anthony in He Li's memory is not a real super giant in the NBA, but Anthony in the national team does have super giant strength.

And He Li also felt that under his training, Anthony would definitely have the opportunity to formally become a super-powerful player.

After all, with the addition of the Bucks team, He Li became a super giant player in his first year as a rookie.

With suitable teammates and a suitable tactical system, the combined strength of players will reach the effect of 1+1>2.

If Anthony can always play next to He Li, it will not be surprising to become a super giant.

Perhaps the Anthony in He Li's memory did not realize his full potential.

Once the full potential is discovered by He Li's side, Anthony's future will be even more limitless.

If the future is really as beautiful as He Li imagined, the future of the Bucks and He Li will also be limitless.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors selected Chris Kaman with the fourth pick!"

The miracle really happened!
Considering the team's own configuration, the Raptors chose Kaman, the only center in the 03 generation who looked good.

In this way, Anthony did fall to the fifth overall pick as he expected.

Because the Raptors have a lot of starting-level shooting guards, Carter has to play small forward some of the time.

But in fact, there is no shortage of small forwards in the Raptors, but qualified inside players.

In the 01-02 season, the Raptors and Olajuwon finally reached the playoffs is a matter of course.

Last season, with Olajuwon's retirement and Carter's injury, the Raptors directly transferred to the playoffs.

For a young team like the Raptors, winning the championship is not something they should consider at this stage.

In fact, Carter was too strong before the serious injury, which gave the Raptors management expectations that they shouldn't have.

As Carter's injuries continued to repeat, the Raptors management had to calm down and stop thinking about the championship.

Instead, consider returning to the playoffs first, cultivating local fans in Toronto, and making the team take the lead in doing a good job.

"It's me, our No. [-] pick in the first round?
Okay, sure it's Carmelo Anthony, right?

No problem, I also think this is an extremely wise decision!

But is there still time?Can you still trade picks up?
I hope to use the No. 27 pick in the first round plus the No. [-] pick in the first round to upgrade to a higher draft pick and win Dwyane Wade as soon as possible. "

After seeing that the Raptors selected Kaman, He Li immediately picked up the phone and called Ernie Grunfeld, wanting to confirm something.

It is said that the draft is broadcast live, but due to technical reasons, there is a delay of a few minutes.

When He Li got through the call, the Bucks had already called the Nuggets and asked them to choose Anthony.

As for why the Bucks did not submit the draft list themselves, it is because the Bucks and the Nuggets have not reached a formal draft pick deal, and now it is only a private agreement, a verbal agreement.

The official transaction will have to wait until next week, when the team trading market opens.

A little popular science, the team selects rookies in the draft, and only gets the right to sign the rookies.

After the second week of the draft, before the official signing period for rookies comes, the team can trade rookie signing rights.

And this is a transaction between the team and the team, and it can only be carried out after the transaction freeze period ends.

Generally, the freezing period will be officially lifted on the weekend of the next week after the end of the Rookie Conference.

The draft is held at the end of June, and usually it is not until the beginning of July that teams can officially trade.

The signing of a rookie with the team needs to be done within a week after the transaction is completed, so the signing is usually completed in mid-July.

In other words, Anthony is currently selected by the Nuggets and has nothing to do with the Bucks.

The Bucks still need more than a week to get Anthony officially.

Of course, the Bucks are not in a hurry, anyway, the offseason is still long!
However, it is imminent to win Wade before the Heat.

The Heat have the No. [-] pick in the first round, and the No. [-] pick that the Bucks and the Warriors verbally agreed to is just behind the Heat.

Originally, the Bucks had the fifth pick, but Anthony fell to this pick.

Encountering this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to miss the No. [-] pick with the No. [-] pick, no matter how deep the water is, it is difficult for the Bucks not to grasp him.

But if Wade is snatched away by the Heat, then He Li will feel that the most suitable second-in-chief for him is gone, and the deal is a loss.

Compared with social melons with unpredictable tempers, He Li naturally values ​​Wade with a guaranteed character.

And wanting to ensure that Wade can be won and the happy time of basketball for the brothers in the future, He Li hurriedly called to see if he could trade up.

To be reasonable, if it was before the start of the draft, nine plus 27 would not be able to exchange for the high-ranking picks of the six, seven, and eight picks.

But now the dust has basically settled, and the No. [-] pick is not far from the No. [-], [-], and No. [-] picks.

As long as the Bucks are different from their original selection goals, then the Bucks will use a higher pick to draft rookies, and there will be no conflict with them.

At this time, it is not impossible to take advantage of the trend to earn a little bit of money.

After He Li made the phone call here, he didn't worry about it anymore. It's useless to worry anyway. It's better to keep staring at the TV screen and hope for better results in the future.

Next, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Jarvis Hayes with the sixth pick, also a small forward who looked very talented.

The construction of the Clippers is relatively chaotic at the moment. When there is no good choice, it is always wrong to choose a forward to try his luck.

"In the 2003 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Dwyane Wade with the seventh pick!"

He Li was filled with emotion when he saw Wade standing up on TV with his face full of "twist".

Now He Li was really flustered. He didn't know if it was the bull who cut the beard, or just reached a verbal agreement with the Bucks.

At this time, He Li regretted not going to the draft.

Otherwise, there is no need to be like this now. If you feel overwhelmed, you have to wait for a while and wait for the notification to find out about Wade's ownership.
