Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 511 The 13th pick!

Post-match interview.

"LeBron, what did Dwayne say when he hugged you after the game?" the reporter asked.

James: "When did he hug me?"

The reporter said in his heart: Do you not admit it?
Then she took out her mobile phone and shook it on the stage. If her eyesight was good enough, she would see that someone had indeed shown evidence.

Wade and James, affectionately.

"Ahem." James covered his mouth and smiled: "I just asked how he is doing recently."

Well, there was a burst of boos from the audience, which means: You are almost done.

Another reporter asked: "Will Dwayne retire next season?"

James: "Is it 2035? Isn't it a little early to ask this question?"

The reporters in the audience laughed, Wade's popularity is very good, no one expected The Flash to retire so early.

Reporter: "So will he come to Cleveland?"

Tyronn Lue replied: "After defending the championship, I will personally recruit Dwyane Wade."

Even LeBron James was amused this time.

Tyronn Lue was very satisfied with his wit: "Are there any other questions?"

Reporter: "Director Lu, since the playoffs, LeBron's average playing time has been reduced to 33 minutes per game by you. Is there something wrong with his body?"

James pointed to the reporter and said, "Good mention, I want to ask this too."

Tyronn Lue said with a smile: "We all know that LeBron James is the totem of Cleveland. He brought the Cavaliers their first championship and let us end the wait of more than 50 years. Then we must cherish such a superstar who is destined to be recorded in history."

James shook his head: "NO, you still let me play."

Tyronn Lue said: "If I let LeBron play 45 minutes every game, I am really afraid that the citizens of Cleveland will eat me alive!"

Reporter: "Did Bill's arrival encroach on Kyrie's right to shoot?"

Tyronn Lue: "This question has to be answered by Kyrie himself."

So everyone looked at Owen together.

Owen: "No."

Uncle Drew is always so concise.

Reporter: "How will you defend Wade in the next game, he is full of energy in this game."

Tyronn Lue: "I have to discuss this with LeBron."

The atmosphere of the press conference was simply not too harmonious, everyone's questions were very gentle, and the Cavaliers in this game were indeed remarkable, with no major flaws.

However, everyone later heard that the reporters who went to the Heat that night were miserable. Among the people who attended the press conference, only Coach Spoelstra was polite, and Dwight Howard and Wade were not in a good mood.

Especially when a reporter talked about LeBron half-jokingly, Wade basically said something very official with a cold face.

Rachel was one of the unfortunate group. She only asked two questions at the press conference, and then briefly chatted with Wade after the show.

Wade just asked about Yuan Qingshan's recent situation, and did not comment on the game.

Everyone can see that Wade is very dissatisfied with the game, and the Heat will definitely fight back after the game.

There will be a few days of rest after the end of the first round of the first round of the East and West Finals. This time is precious for all four teams, especially the losing team, referring to the Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat.

The Warriors have entered a level-one alert since their upset loss to the Lakers. The team was completely sealed off, and no media interviews were accepted. Players were also not allowed to leave the training hall. During this period, only the team's media spokesperson occasionally spoke about recent developments.

The Heat are different. They open every day as a media day. Players train in front of reporters and cameras. Coach Spoelstra believes that the slightly skeptical eyes of reporters can better motivate players.

The Cavaliers will always be LeBron James first to the training hall every day. Later, coach Tyronn Lue even issued an order not to allow James to pressurize himself and undertake so much exercise.

As for the Lakers, Coach Walton's policy is relatively casual. There will be two hours of team training every afternoon, and the rest of the time players can move freely, but there are two prohibitions: one is not allowed to do strenuous exercise, and the other is not allowed to drink alcohol.

Yuan Qingshan lived in Scarlett Johansson's villa in Beverly Hills these days, and the schedule was relatively tight, so he didn't make too intensive training plans for himself. The only sports that can consume a lot of energy are those pink sports in Scarlett's bedroom.

Rachel called and complained to Yuan Qingshan about the difficulty of interviewing in Cleveland. Yuan Qingshan said that he understood very well. Cleveland is a small city and is nicknamed "Ke Village". It must be boring to interview there. Therefore, Yuan Qingshan found James through his agent and asked him to help Rachel arrange the itinerary and get in touch with the Cavaliers players.

As a result, Rachel's schedule in Cleveland was filled in an instant.

When Yuan Qingshan called again, before she could say a few words, Rachel hung up the phone, because she was anxious to go to Owen's residence for an interview. You know, this was the opportunity that other reporters dreamed of.

Two days later, Scarlett Johansson's crew notified her to go to Australia for filming. Yuan Qingshan had to say goodbye to her. Scarlett Johansson promised him that she would go to cheer for every game in the finals.

Although there are no games these days, the league is not quiet.

The day after the end of the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the 2017 draft lottery ceremony was officially held. For those teams that hope to change the future destiny of the team through the draft, the result of the lottery will undoubtedly be very critical.

Since there are several transactions in the NBA every year, during the transaction process, it will involve the change or transaction of the draft pick, so the probability of each team getting the No. [-] pick every year is not exactly the same as their record.

Therefore, from the moment the signing is confirmed, the summer trading boom has begun, at least there will be undercurrents.

Mark Tatum, the NBA's vice president and chief operating officer, took the podium, and the results of the lottery were announced starting with No. 14.

14 are the Heat and 13 are the Trail Blazers.

It is worth noting!

The Blazers didn't get a top-three pick, so under the rules of a 2014 trade, that pick would go to the Los Angeles Lakers.

In this way, since the trade for Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick, the Lakers will once again have a player with the 13th pick.

The Lakers did not send a representative to attend the ceremony because they did not have a first-round pick in their hands. When Laughlin saw the live broadcast at home, she immediately excitedly called Jenny Buss.

She is happy because with the lottery pick, even if the Lakers want to chase superstars in the summer, they can pay less chips.

But Jenny Buss said to her: "In this way, we may be able to trade one more superstar."

Laughlin's heart sank, and it might have turned for the worse.
