Chapter 569 Change of Life
Dailins is warming up some pastries.
Suddenly, Pantoliano yelled, "Kate, here we come! Here we come! Second pick!"
"Who is who?"
Dai Linsi hurried out.
Well, Stern announced.
There is not much suspense, it is Oladipo, who was selected by the Magic.
"This is exactly the same as the draft pick prediction. Experts are indeed experts." McPhee nodded.
Ingrid wants to pick a thorn: "But they didn't guess that the Cavaliers chose Anthony Bennett."
Li Xing wants to be the best for the major prediction lists. No matter how they think about it, they never thought that the Cavaliers would make Bennett, who was selected as the first pick and ranked in the top five!
It is understandable for the Cavaliers to choose Bennett. This person can be three or four, just to make up for the Cavaliers' lack of strength, but that is just a pre-draft assumption.
By the time summer league starts, the Cavaliers will realize what an awful piece of shit they've fed themselves.
Li Xing continued to wait and see.
The third and fourth picks are no surprises.
It is worth mentioning that the Bobcats took Ben McLemore with the fourth overall pick.
It is basically certain that Jordan is going to get a late draft pick through a trade.
This player will definitely be traded, because the Bobcats already have Lillard, and they don't need another undersized combo guard to compete with Lillard.
It can be seen from this that Jordan followed his suggestion and wanted to make a deal with the following teams.
The old hooligan who has been tricked by others is finally going to trick others, Li Xing couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Akagi was left out in the cold, and the poor child stood up to the live camera.
He was originally a favorite for the top three picks, but now he has fallen to the fifth pick and no one cares about him.
Li Xing read the news while watching.
The Suns took Alex Len with the fifth overall pick.
Norlens dropped out of the top five!
The impact of injuries seems so terrifying at this moment. If there were no injuries, Noel should be the frontrunner for the No. [-] pick.
Injuries have cast doubt on teams that have their eye on him.
What kind of talent was Oden back then?The Blazers gave up an unworldly monster like Durant for him, and the result?
What's more, Noel's talent is far inferior to that of Oden, and no one is willing to take risks.
Poor Akagi bowed his head, and at this moment, the God who saved him came.
Stern stood up and announced: "In the 2013 NBA draft, the New Orleans Hornets selected with the sixth pick in the first round——Norrence Noel, from the University of Kentucky!"
Emotions that have been suppressed for a long time are released at this moment.
Akagi wiped away his bitter tears, he had every reason to comfort himself.
Qiang Ri Laqi Lee, isn't he also the sixth pick?Doesn't it make those teams that missed him regret it?What's the big deal with the sixth pick?
Li Xing was very happy to be the psychological support for such frustrated people, although he didn't know about it.
He keeps checking the news.
If there is a transaction, this page will be displayed instantaneously.
"I didn't expect this guy to drop to No. [-]," Ingrid said.
"What's so strange about this? Being ugly is the original sin." Pantoliano seemed to dislike poor Akagi-san.
Ingrid said, "Glia, you're being rude."
"Come and have a snack."
Dai Linsi came over with two trays of freshly warmed cakes, put them on the table, and poured a few glasses of milk.
"Which number is it?"
"sixth."
"is it?"
About 10 minutes after Noel was drafted, the news broke.
The 76ers traded All-Star guard Holiday to the Pelicans for Noel.
At this time, Noel was telling the media how exciting it was to be a teammate with Wei Xia.
The reporter who got the news interrupted him: "Nollens, you have been traded to Philadelphia."
Akagi was hit again.
But it doesn't matter, he knows this is business, he has to be strong.
So, he cheered up and changed the hat on his head to one with the 76ers team logo: "It's okay, I'm ready."
"Jrue Holiday is a very comprehensive star guard, I can't wait to join forces with him, we will have a spark!"
The reporters looked weird, which was already embarrassing, but immediately something even more embarrassing happened.
They wondered if they should tell Noel.
The 76ers traded Holiday to the Hornets in order to get you
Li Xing in front of the TV laughed again, he slapped the table and laughed wildly: "It's so fucking interesting!"
"This guy is so pitiful!" Pantoliano finally discovered Akagi's temperament.
It is a bad word.
People who are so ugly that they have bad luck are also a kind of precious temperament.
Noel, as the first victim of the "believe in the process" reconstruction road, is also the first practitioner of the 76ers lottery rookie who must be reimbursed in the first year.
In Li Xing's previous life, Noel was reimbursed for his rookie season, and then spent three years with the team in a muddle. When he felt ready, Embiid was born.
All the favors that belonged to him were taken away, and he was also put on the shelves.
When the Mavericks showed their worth, Boss Ku wanted to sign with him and offered him a fairly good contract, but because his salary rose sharply at that time, everyone received a starting annual salary of 2000 million. Why did he take a few million less?
no!Do not sign!Resolutely do not sign!
Well, the qualification quotation will be offered for one year.
Anyway, this guy is destined to get a big contract. Naturally, the Mavericks will not give him another chance. Noel was suppressed and his performance was not as good as before. When he becomes a free agent, he wants a job "commensurate with his worth" At the time of the maximum salary, the market has changed.
In the summer when the salary rose sharply, each team was not very good and signed a lot of rubbish contracts. After that, each team became smarter, especially for a basketball leader like Noel, it was one after another. Glasses.
Noel has no choice, he can't get the maximum salary, so he can only sign another contract close to the minimum salary.
In other words, he rejected a long-term contract with an annual salary of more than [-] million in exchange for a quasi-basic salary far below his own value.
His career started from the draft, and his bad words ran through to the end.
Li Xing really found it funny, some people failed because they deserved to fail, while some people were really played tricks by fate.
Since the sixth pick, the draft has become dull.
There are not many highly anticipated rising stars in this year. After those popular rookies have been selected, most fans are not very interested in who will get the remaining flowers.
The reason why Li Xing insisted on watching it was only because of Brother Antetokounmpo.
He believed Jordan would get him.
The Bucks in the previous life chose him with the 2013th pick, which can be said to be the big winner in the [-] draft, but they obviously didn't know how terrible Antetokounmpo's potential was at the time.
The [-]th pick, just outside the lottery zone, they just picked this seemingly extremely talented young man with the idea of taking a gamble.
After all, even if Brother Antetokounmpo is in trouble, they are just wasting a [-]th pick that is neither high nor low.
Then came the tenth pick.
"In the 2013 NBA draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected with the tenth pick in the first round—"
Before Stern announced the Blazers' pick, you could feel his cheek twitch.
Next, he might be tempted to straighten his reading glasses to see the name clearly.
What is the name that makes him feel so dazzling?
"The Blazers have chosen, Giannis Antetokounmpo, from Zaragoza, Spain!" (not nationality, but the club where Antetokounmpo plays)
Now everyone knows, maybe Mr. President's thought that flashed through his mind at that moment was "Why do you have such a long name? We should restrict these guys with too long names from participating in the draft!"
Li Xing clenched his fists, and he refreshed the web page once a second.
Just 2 minutes later, a shocking news appeared on the Internet.
"Charlotte Bobcats send Ben McLemore's signing rights to Portland Trail Blazers for Giannis Antetokounmpo's pre-signing and 2014 first-round pick with top-three protection .”
"Papa papa~~~"
Li Xing applauded.
"Larch, what's wrong?"
Dai Linsi and the others stared blankly at Li Xing.
This is a deal between the Bobcats and the Trail Blazers, why should he applaud?
Li Xing kept laughing. After all, Jordan made the deal according to the plan he proposed, and he did it quite well.
The only regret is not allowing the Blazers to send an unprotected first-round pick.
However, this is enough.
After Li Xing traveled through time, he brought changes to the fate of countless people.
james.Duran chartered many people.
But to say that the team that suffered the most must be the Trail Blazers.
Oden fell and Roy was injured and retired. They had to rebuild again. There was only one Aldridge in the team who could not support both offensive and defensive ends. They needed a better core.
In Li Xing's previous life, they got Lillard, the future superstar, directly completed the reconstruction, and successfully entered the playoffs.
Even though they later dismantled the starting lineup in one summer, leaving only Lillard one of the five main starters, everyone thought they were finished, but they still made the playoffs.
Because of the birth of CJ McCollum.
The quintessential scorer, along with Lillard, smacked the faces of the underdogs.
If there is no Li Xing, they will choose Lillard like the established history, but no;
Without Li Xing, Jordan wouldn't have made this deal with them, and they wouldn't have gotten Ben McLemore.
If it wasn't for Li Xing and without this deal, they would have honestly picked CJ McClemore with the tenth pick in the first round.
Due to the existence of Li Xing, the Blazers' road to reconstruction will be delayed for at least five or six years, and McClemore, who was supposed to make contributions to the Blazers, fell into the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers by accident.
Fate changed in an instant.
McAway, who originally belonged to the eleventh pick, lost several picks in a row.
The Bucks' favorite Antetokounmpo was cut off halfway, and they could only pick up McAway.
In this way, the most dramatic story of this draft is over, and the rest is a story about Taobao.
