The Godfather of Basketball

Vol 2 Chapter 586: 2013 NBA Draft (2/4!)

Brooklyn was originally an independent city. It was officially classified as one of the five largest districts of New York after a resident vote at the end of the 19th century. It is located in the southeast of Midtown Manhattan, New York, and has a population of 250,000, making it one of the largest districts in New York. One.

This is one of the reasons why the basket chose the address of the new arena. The concentration of the population represents the potential market.

In fact, it is just across the East River of Manhattan from Madison Square Garden in the midfield of Manhattan.

As a new stadium, the design of the Barclays Center is also unique. The oval roof, streamlined body, dark brown and beige tones make the whole stadium look noble and generous. At first glance, it looks like it has been covered. Bird nest.

Former basketball head coach General Avery Johnson said: If Madison is a basketball Mecca, then the Barclays Center is the Taj Mahal.

The day before they came to Brooklyn, they strolled around the arena and encountered many Asian faces on the road.

There are 40 thousand Chinese in New York, of which 140,000 are in Brooklyn. It is not surprising to say that the Chinese are gathered.

In fact, not only the Chinese, but also many Europeans, Australians, and even Africans can be seen here. This is simply the place where the cultures of different countries meet.

No wonder the draft will be held here, which will be very helpful for nba's cultural promotion. After a long stroll with Tang Tian, ​​Stevens couldn't help feeling.

Yes, maybe here, there may really be a day to catch the Knicks, if they can have an excellent record. Tang Tian continued.

Stevens glanced at Tang Tian, ​​smiled, didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.

The draft was conducted in the evening. After dinner, Tang Tian took his draft team into the scene.

The stadium is already full of fans, and the most excited of them is of course Thunder. They just won the championship. It would be even more fun without them.

When Tang Tian and the draft team entered the stadium, they also attracted cheers.

Tang Tian's performance in the draft has always been dazzling. Now holding two rounds, fans are naturally not happy.

After entering the draft cabin, Stern walked out of the background after preparing for the outside.

As soon as he came out, he had not spoken, and there was already an unstoppable cheer.

Not long ago, Stern announced that he would retire in February 2014, and also designated Adam Xiaohua's own successor.

In other words, this will be Stern's last appearance in the draft in 3o years.

Stern has been committed to the globalization of NBA since he became president, and the results have been remarkable. Although there are some right and wrong in the mid-term, fans of this kind of merit are more cheers.

Thank you. After the fans cheered, Stern said with a smile.

As a result, he didn't expect that when he said this, the cheers were louder.

Tang Tian also laughed in the draft hut.

Imagine if he also announced his retirement from NBA one day, I wonder if there would be such cheers.

Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to

Waiting for the cheers to fall, Stern learned this time, without saying anything, and began to recite the lines that belong to him.

Tang Tian also looked back and began to turn his attention to the draft.

The first pick of the first round of the 2o13 NBA draft belongs to the Orlando Magic. They have 5 minutes to consider.

Jones and they were nervously connected, and Tang Tian busily watched the TV in the cabin.

In previous lives, the No. 1 pick belonged to the Cavaliers. Last season, the Cavaliers ranked second in the league. Naturally, they no longer belong to them, but belong to the Magic.

He was curious whether the Magic would choose Oladipo, or Bennett, who should have been the champion.

In the first round of the first round of the NBA in 2o13, the Orlando Magic chose Victor Oladipo, a defender of 1.93 meters from Indiana University.

When Oladipo's name was pronounced, the black guy on the stage jumped up in excitement.

This year is recognized as a draft year in the draft. In other words, no one is a talent group. At this time, he can become the champion. In addition to his ability, he needs a little luck.

Tang Tian smiled after reading.

Oladipo did have good luck, because his changed history has made this second pick a top pick.

But compared to Bennett, his strength is obviously more worthy of the title of champion.

After the Magic, other teams have also made choices.

The Wizards with second overall pick Otto Porter.

Third overall Bobcats chose Cody Zeller.

The fourth-ranked Pelicans chose Norrens Noel, and immediately made a deal with the 76ers in exchange for the opponent's main point guard Zhu Hollodi.

It was not until the seventh-ranked Sun that they chose Bennett.

Bennett didn't seem too excited or disappointed, for him, this may not be a too unexpected pick in itself.

Tang Tian was a little curious at this time. Bennett in the previous life was a bit similar to Kwame Brown, because carrying the name of the champion led to too much psychological pressure, how could he not show his strength, and I did n’t know that the order came to the sun. How will it behave.

The draft went on, and the Rockets chose Steven Adams in the 12th pick ~ www.readwn.com ~ Morey, though shrewd and cold-blooded, did not look bad on the draft.

After the Rockets, the draft 66 of the other teams continued, and in a short time they had reached the 24th overall pick.

The 24th pick belongs to the Knicks.

The scene was also cheering.

Although the Brooklyn home team is a basket here, it also belongs to New York, and the Knicks have many fans.

The New Yorkers chose Tim Hardaway II, the son of former star Tim Hardaway.

Hardaway has some strength, and Tang Tian also wanted to consider it, but the trading schemes Jones received all required them to make two round draft picks this year. This clearly shows the way of robbery, making it difficult for the Thunder to draft pick What is the operating space?

The Knicks followed the Thunder's No. 25 pick.

Without the inner ghost, everything becomes much more pleasing.

Tang Tian wrote the note himself, then put it in an envelope and handed it to the staff.

Because Gobert is an international player, he is not particularly high in the draft selection of each team.

But this kind of international players are all lacking in muscle type. When the team raises a year or two, the muscles fight up. The spider's wingspan will definitely make other teams drool.

And it's almost time for Brown to retire in two years, and Gobert is the perfect replacement.

Not only now, Tang Tian is thinking about the future of the Thunder.

In 2o13, the 25th pick of the first round of the NBA, the Thunder chose Rudy Gobert, the center of 2.16 meters, from France.

At the moment when Stern announced the result, Tang Tian had an unspeakable ease.

In such a small draft year, it is cool to choose such a talented big man.
