v3 Chapter 857： 2016 NBA Draft

On June 24, American time, the 2016 NBA Draft was held as scheduled at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The draft teams of the league's teams entered the arena early.

In front of the stage is still a small green house. This year, a total of 16 people, including popular rookies Ben Simmons and Ingram, were invited to enter.

This number is a lot less than last year, which also shows that this year is a draft year.

Simmons and Ingram were also nervous.

The draft pick was decided by lottery a month ago.

The No. 1 pick is for the Lakers, and the No. 2 pick is for the 76ers.

Although the two have locked the top two, they are very different. To go to the Los Angeles Lakers is to go to Los Angeles.

This is good at first glance, but who is the top pick is not their final decision, it depends on what the Lakers management thinks.

When Tang Tian and Demps walked to the draft cabin, they accidentally encountered an old acquaintance.

Kobe, this guy who has only retired for two months, although wearing a different suit, he has Raza's beard and a small belly.

It seems that the little life after retirement is extremely nourishing.

Tang Tian saw him speak to Demps and shouted directly to say hello.

"Hey, Kobe."

"Hey, Michael Don."

Kobe smiled and reached out to Tang Tian, ​​his mouth became smooth.

After Tang Tian laughed after listening, this Kobe really changed his name and changed his personal appearance.

In the chat, Tang Tian also knew that Kobe was here to help an old friend Kupchak as a staffer.

The Lakers finally got a lottery pick, whether to choose Simmons or Ingram. This is a matter of revival. Kupchak must fully consider the opinions of all parties before making a final decision.

Tang Tian didn't interrupt, he was willing to advise the Lakers because of Kobe, and now Kobe is retired.

"Summer, do you train together?"

Tang Tian glanced at Kobe's small belly and said jokingly.

"No, no, I'll try to have a boy now."

Kobe Haha laughed and then pointed back not far.

Vanessa was sitting there, with three daughters beside her, and greeted her when she saw them.

Tang Tian also greeted them with a smile.

"Then you come on."

Tang Tian said with a smile after closing.

In terms of having a son, he easily beat Kobe.

After chatting for a while, Tang Tian said goodbye to Kobe and went into the draft hut.

After the live broadcast and broadcast are ready, the 2016 NBA Draft is about to begin.

Xiao Hua stepped out from behind the stage, his face looked very bad.

The 2015 ~ 2016 season has come to an end, but the discussion about the referee's penalty in the finals has not stopped.

If it wasn't for Tang Tian's final slash of 62 points, the Pelicans brought the championship, then the league may not be able to end.

Under such circumstances, the bosses of the league's board of directors have a lot of opinions on him, and have even proposed the replacement of the president of the league.

If he hadn't negotiated a new broadcast contract before, he has now stepped down.

But even if he barely reigns, his influence is now much worse than before.

He came to the front desk and tried to squeeze a smile.

He was greeted by a boo.

If he had been symbolic of Stern and him a few years ago, then this is really a boo.

One can imagine how dissatisfied the fans are now with him and the league.

Xiao Hua was embarrassed, but he could only smile with joy, wait for the hiss to fall, and then start his opening remarks.

"Welcome to Brooklyn, New York ..."

Tang Tian looked outside on the TV in the draft cabin and looked at Xiao Hua's expression. He was inexplicably psychologically refreshed.

It is a pity that Xiao Hua did not step down this time, but following this momentum, he is not far from stepping down.

In history, the league really let the body whistle appear densely, after the league introduced new foul rules in the 2018 ~ 2019 season.

Following this momentum, Xiao Hua should not survive that day.

"The 2016 NBA No. 1 overall pick belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers. They have five minutes to think about."

After finishing the first pick, Xiao Hua finally relieved himself and walked backstage.

This is the most tortured draft conference since he took office.

"Don, who will you choose now?"

After the Pelicans and the 76ers made the trade, the picks were 20 and 22, and it's still early to get there.

At the beginning of the draft, let's discuss that the No. 1 pick is a regular operation.

"The probability of Ben is higher."

Tang Tian replied.

Now the butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger, not only the team lineup and history have changed a lot, but even the draft pick has changed.

The Lakers won the first lottery, which is the result that Lakers fans dream of.

Simmons's top pick is the loudest, but the Lakers' management is now chaotic. Jim Bath has given way and Jenny Bus is online.

No one knows whether the Lakers will have a crush on Ingram, and Tang Tian can only say that it is Simmons with a higher probability.

Fortunately, in five minutes, Xiao Hua came out with the selection of the Lakers.

It was another boo to greet him, Xiao Hua was really a bit sad today.

But when he was about to announce the result, the scene was quiet again.

No. 1 winner is still looking forward to.

Both Simmons and Ingram had their heads explored.

"The 2016 NBA No. 1 pick, the Los Angeles Lakers chose ... Ben Simmons, the 2.08 small forward from the University of Louisville."

When Xiao Hua read this choice, the Lakers fans who came to the scene screamed loudly.

Simmons fared better than Ingram in college and was hailed by the media as the next James.

The Lakers chose him for a stable business.

"The Lakers are about to rise."

Demps said instinctively.

The Lakers have always wanted to pursue James, and now they have a new James.

Tang Tian smiled and didn't speak.

Simmons's talent is indeed excellent, but his motivation is a problem. In history, there is constant news outside of Philadelphia, and in Los Angeles ... nobody knows what he will become.

The Lakers drafted Simmons, and the 76ers drafted Ingram.

However, because the team behind the West team had a poor record last season, many of the remaining rookies in the lottery went to the West.

The third-ranked Suns chose Jaylen Brown ~ www.novelhall.com ~ and the Porzingis Gemini twins.

Fourth overall Timberwolves picked Chris Dunn.

Fifth overall pick for the Nuggets drafted Jamal Murray.

The sixth-ranked Kings chose Buddy Hilde.

The seventh-ranked Bucks chose Dragan Bender.

...

The previous draft went fast, and it was the Pelicans' turn shortly after the end of the lottery.

The 20 and 22 picks are awkward picks in the draft.

That's why the Sixers are willing to pack two deals with almost the same order.

However, after Tian Tian agreed to the deal, he had already planned.
