Chapter 168

The spotlight shone on Ying Xiong, and there was congratulatory applause at the scene.Being selected with the top 10 picks in the draft is indeed something worthy of congratulations.

Ying Xiong embraced with his parents, coach Shao Ziqiang, agent Bill Duffy and Li Jianwu in sequence, and then put on the Milwaukee Bucks cap.

In this way, Ying Xiong will be on the same team as compatriot Yi Jianlian.This is something that absolutely no one would have thought of before the start of the draft.

Ying Xiong looked relaxed and happy.His ideas are not as complicated as that of agent Bill Duffy. He doesn't really care about the big market. He just wants a team that can value him so that he can give full play to his abilities and grow smoothly.

The draft is going on intensely, and the transaction is also in full swing.Of course, since the free agent market will not officially open until July 7st, even if the transaction at this time is completed, it will not be officially launched until then.

The top 15 rookies in the first round took a group photo with NBA Commissioner David Stern—as a high-ranking rookie, the treatment is naturally different.

Ying Xiong was wearing a Milwaukee Bucks cap and a neat suit. He stood with 14 other talents. Under the flashlight, his face was full of happy smiles.

——The feeling of dream come true is really beautiful.Even though Ying Xiong has never played a game in the NBA, for him, entering the NBA is one of his dreams.

The Milwaukee Bucks are not a team without a history of brilliance.However, their glorious past is too far away from the present.Back in 1971, they had already won the championship.But until the end of the last century, they did not get involved in the championship again.

Since the beginning of this century, under the leadership of the "Three Musketeers" Ray Allen, "Big Dog" Robinson, and Cassel, they have reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Philadelphia 76ers led by "Answer" Allen Iverson have reached the "Answer" Allen Iverson. Tie-off", and finally lost with regret.

So far, the performance of the Bucks has been worse year after year.It was originally a small ball market, and there was no luck to draw a superstar who could change the team, so until now, it is not a strong team.For them, it is impossible for the super giants in the league to join the team as free agents, so if the team wants to strengthen, it must be through trades or drafts.

Ying Xiong originally thought that he could become teammates with compatriot Yi Jianlian in the Bucks and help the Bucks rise in the East together.On the night of the draft, Yi Jianlian and his teammate Bobby Simmons were sent to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson.

For the Bucks, Bobby Simmons has seriously declined due to his competitive state, and the team has long wanted to send it away.However, Yi Jianlian and the team have been in conflict from before signing to after signing, and his rookie season did not show the potential to grow into an All-Star player.Charlie Villanueva in the team has enough strength to replace him.Taking advantage of his trading value, bringing Bobby Simmons, who has a trend of bad contracts, in exchange for All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson, for the team, it will definitely not be a loss-making deal.
