Chapter 667 Tony Allen
In the venue of the draft conference, when Stern listened to the more and more shouts in the stadium like tantalizing, as the fans finally appeared Dwight Howard's shouts directly overwhelmed the NCAA. After the strong performance of Emeka Okafor, the old guy turned over the cards in his hand with satisfaction!
"The Magic selected... Dwight Howard from Atlanta Christian Adelaide!!!"
"Wow!!"
As Stern called out Howard's name with a little excitement, the whole venue erupted into a burst of cheers instantly.
"Wow, the Magic still chose this big kid!!"
In the small room of the Warriors, Bruce watched the TV with a smile on his face and was preparing to play, with a smug Howard on his face. He had a deep memory of this guy's character!
"Hehe, it looks like this should be the last straw for the Magic to release Tracy!"
West narrowed his eyes and stared at Howard, who was receiving the baseball cap from Stern on the TV. This young man with super physical fitness reminded him of the scene when "Mr. Shark" entered the league. !
"Congratulations, young man!!"
Stern hugged Howard with a smile on his face. Even though he was still a little worried about the high school students entering the election so quickly, with the super performance of Garnett and others, this made him gradually choose this Problems left behind!
"Haha, thank you lovely Mr. David Stern!"
Stern held Howard's hand tightly with his right hand, staring at the boyish serious smile on this guy's face, he couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart!
After that, as Howard returned to the field with excitement and a little bit of pride, Okafor, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but feel a little tangled!
Among the various previous predictions, Okafor has basically always been able to suppress Howard!
However, as Howard's physical data was gradually exposed in the eyes of various media, this trend finally turned to the younger Howard's side when the draft was about to start!
As the top star and champion hero of the NCAA, although Okafor's ability is very good, but because of his height and current talent, he finally lost to this high school student!
Immediately after, the Charlotte Bobcats officially entered the league and received some kind of care.
As Stern returned to the stage again, he didn't try to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans too much. After seeing the name on the card in his hand, a smile flashed across his face, and he shouted loudly. Out: "Congratulations to the Bobcats on selecting... Emeka Okafor from this year's NCAA champion team, UConn!!"
"boom!!!"
As Stern read out Okafor's name, the fans in the audience burst into cheers and indignation no less than before!
As we all know, Okafor has improved at an astonishing rate every year during his three years in college. Coupled with the halo of various honors on his body, he failed to beat the brat Howard, which really made some fans feel A deep sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction!
On stage, when Okafor's expression gradually recovered, after putting on a Bobcats baseball cap and shaking hands with Stern for a photo, the Bulls, Clippers and other teams following closely followed each other very quickly. Your favorite player!
Sitting in the small room of the Warriors, Bruce watched a player who had a deep impression in his previous life, and he couldn't help but sigh!
Ben Gordon with strong offensive ability, Sean Livingston with terrible broken leg, coupled with the appearance of extremely fast Devon Harris and Luol Deng, etc., directly gave Bruce Great visual enjoyment!
After the current 21 rookies were selected by their respective teams, with the arrival of a staff member, Bruce directly signaled West to hand over the selection of the Warriors, with a smile of anticipation on his face!
At the back of the stage, when Stern got the selection list handed over by the Warriors, he couldn't help showing a trace of surprise in his eyes. He closed the note, frowned secretly, and then shook his head in self-deprecating manner. , walked directly to the stage!
"Hehe, first of all, I would like to congratulate the Warriors who successfully defended their title this season. They have a group of great players and great management. Now when I say this name, I think this lucky little guy will jump up excitedly of!"
As Stern said with some hints, the rookies who were not selected under the stage looked over excitedly. No one wanted to join this team that had won the championship for two consecutive years. The Warriors This sign is still too loud!
Stern looked at the little guys in the audience who were looking forward to it with a smile on his face. He first shook his head helplessly, then took a slight breath, flipped the card over, and said in a very loud voice: " Congratulations to .Tony Allen from Oklahoma State University!!!”
"Wow!!!"
As Stern called out the name, Allen, who was only regarded as the end of the first round before, stared at Stern with wide-open eyes in disbelief, and then even amidst the hustle and bustle around him , with excitement, ran up with a big grin!
"What are they going to do??"
After hearing the Warriors' choice, the general managers of other teams in the league couldn't help but secretly frowned!
In today's league, even if it is a draft that is not very important, once the Warriors make some changes, it will bring some fluctuations to the league. This is the influence of the champions!
And Bruce, who was sitting in the small room, looked at West full of doubts with a smile on his face, and gradually explained his question!
"You see, after we lost Gerrard, even though we still have Michael and Keller in the position, their strength on the defensive end seems a bit unsatisfactory after all. If we do what we do, and use desperate play to ensure the team's defensive link, then we have already succeeded!"
"So, what are you going to do with Michael and Keller??"
Hearing West's inquiry, Bruce frowned first, and then said with some regret: "Sorry, I can't always focus on them, I will choose a team that is more suitable for them! "
"where?"
West frowned secretly, and said with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Hehe, don't you think the 76ers will be one of them??"
Bruce said something indifferently, and then quickly changed the subject: "Look, this year's draft is really interesting!"
While West and Bruce were discussing the team's affairs, a transaction message that was incomprehensible to everyone and even a little shocking was displayed on the screen in the venue!
The Wizards sent Stackhouse, Laettner and their originally selected Devin Harris to the Mavericks, but they directly exchanged Jamison, who has been performing well in the Mavericks!
When this deal happened, even though Bruce believed that Jamison could still be the head of the team very well, but now seeing this deal that is consistent with history, he couldn't help but secretly frown!
"Damn, what is Mark going to do??"
After seeing this transaction, West couldn't help saying with a hint of surprise.
"Hehe, it looks like they are about to change!!"
Although Bruce doesn't know what the Mavericks are doing now, he can't help but be more confused when he thinks of Nowitzki's current status as a Warriors player.
However, when they were frowning at the Mavericks' intentions, another trade happened again!
The Suns sent their selected Luol Deng to the Bulls, and they got Jackson Froman, a future draft pick from the Bulls and a lot of cash!
And after seeing the sudden news, not only Bruce who knew about Luol Deng's future development, but also West who was sitting next to him thought this would be an extremely unequal deal!
Later, when the Nuggets gave the selected Jamal Nelson to the Magic, even though they also got a first-round pick from the Magic, Bruce couldn't help complaining about this deal!
The current Nuggets, after they selected Carmelo Anthony last year, the team has gradually undergone very good changes!
However, in their current lineup, even the position of the point guard is not bad, but it seems a bit too much to directly give the selected Nelson to the Magic!
Of course, there are also crucial factors in this. For example, Nelson has a strong desire to attack, and his size is also a problem that cannot be ignored.
However, once they can gamble on this guy, at least in the next few seasons, they will be extremely pleasantly surprised to find that this guy is really eye-catching!
And between the Rockets and the Mavericks, the deal about Spanoulis seems a little less interesting!
Throughout the draft, when the Warriors finally traded all the picks belonging to the Boston Celtics and their own picks in cash, the draft then entered the second round of Taobao!
"Okay, Jerry, it looks like we don't have any promising players, so why don't we just let us get out of here??"
Bruce stretched his waist greatly, looked at the three cash checks in West's hand, couldn't help showing a playful look in his eyes, and couldn't help jokingly said in his heart: "Aha, let's make more deals." Some draft picks are a good deal just for cash!"
I'm sorry, the treatment time in the past two days is a bit too long. Of course, the old wolf's right forearm has also relaxed a lot. I hope my friends will forgive me!
