Chapter 524 The fourteenth pick, Charles!
"The third pick is below. Please read the book W÷wΩW∮.ΩQingKanShu.cC" Xiao Hua stood on the stage, looked below, and said loudly, "This year's third pick belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers. They chose...D Angelo Russell from Ohio State University!"
After the words came to an end, applause rang.
However, what is more obvious is that the applause this time is incomparable to Xiao Hua's announcement that the Lakers chose Chen Feng in the second pick. It's not that Chen Feng is much more popular than Russell, but after the Timberwolves chose Towns and the Lakers chose Chen Feng, it was almost inevitable that the 76ers chose Russell in the third pick, so it did not surprise many people.
Amid applause, Russell walked to the stage, took the baseball cap with the Philadelphia 76ers logo from Xiao Hua and put it on, hugged Xiao Hua and then started talking.
After a moment, Russell's speech ended.
Xiao Hua walked back to the stage and began to announce: "The fourth pick... the Knicks chose Cristaps Porzingis from Latvia."
"The fifth pick, the Magic chose Mario Hao Zujia!"
"The Kings chose Willy Cowley Stan in the sixth pick!"
The top six picks were soon released. Except for Chen Feng's pick at the Lakers, which caused some sensation, the other picks had been predicted for a long time, and even if there were differences, they were not big, so it did not surprise the audience.
Until the seventh ranking. Please read the book Ww∫W∮.

The seventh pick this year was originally part of the Nuggets, but the 76ers did that crazy thing before the draft, using this year's five picks in this round, plus a future round pick, plus a portion of cash, to exchange for the No. 7 picks from the Nuggets.
People are paying attention and are very interested, wanting to know if the 76ers will really choose Okafor.
Xiao Hua also deliberately paused. After he sucked everyone's appetite, he said: "The 76ers in the Philadelphia chose... center from Duke University, Jahill Okafor!"
"really."
"It's really Okafor, what a pity..."
When people heard that it was indeed Okafor, people began to applaud, but many people couldn't help but sigh.
Even Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't been injured in the training camp, Okafor might have been able to enter the top three picks, but now he is only seventh.
Speaking of which, this seventh pick is somewhat inferior to Okafor. His talent and ability are obvious to all, not inferior to Towns, but because of his injury, he can only be the seventh pick.
Amid the applause, Okafor stood up with a crutch, and the smile on his face was a bit far-fetched. After all, who could have fallen into the third place, but it would not be a good idea to fall into the seventh place.
However, this is depressing for Okafor, but it is not a bad thing for the 76ers. Please read the book W w Ω W Ω W Ω .

If Okafor can return to his previous state and not be affected by injuries, then his prospects will still be bright and he can still challenge Towns.
Now that the 76ers have a Russell and another Okafor, it basically means that they have copied the Timberwolves' model, and the prototype of reconstruction has already been established.
The Timberwolves took two years to choose two top picks, while the 76ers only took one year. It has to be said that the 76ers still have some means.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that Okafor can fully recover and achieve what people expect, otherwise everything will be nonsense and the 76ers will lose money.
This is why everyone knows that the 76ers may choose Okafor at the No. 7 pick, but the Knicks, Kings and other teams in front do not make it.
These teams all know Okafor's talent, but they are also worried about Okafor's body. Choosing him is a risk, and these teams obviously don't want to take this risk.
"The eighth pick, the Detroit Pistons chose Emanniu Moodyai!"
"The Hornets chose Frank Kaminsky in the ninth pick!"
"The Heat chose Justice Winslow in the 10th pick!"
"The Pacers chose Miles Turner in the eleventh pick!"
"The Jazz chose Stanley Johnson from the University of Arizona at the 12th pick!"
Listening to Xiao Hua pronounced his names, Charles, who was sitting not far from Chen Feng, became more nervous because he had never heard his name.
The team has a good record this year, and he has also played his best season since entering NCAA, which is his greatest opportunity this year.
In order to be able to enter the lottery area, he and his agency have made a lot of contributions, promoted everywhere, ran around various activities, actively participated in the draft training camp, and performed actively in the training camp.
But now that the names have passed by one by one, but I have never heard of him. How could he not be anxious?
"Don't panic." Seeing that sweat had appeared on Charles' forehead, Chen Feng quietly stepped forward, grabbed Charles' shoulder, and comforted, "There are two more."
Charles looked back at him, smiled reluctantly, and nodded: "Yes."
The so-called lottery zone is actually the top 14 picks. These 14 picks were allocated by 14 teams that failed to enter the playoffs that year. Each team can draw a draw, and the worse the record, the greater the probability of drawing a higher draw.
For players, entering the lottery zone usually means that the player has a higher chance of becoming a star than others, and the team will pay more attention to you.
Therefore, for players who cannot enter the top three or six, being able to enter the lottery zone is their goal.
For example, Charles, with his strength, it is basically impossible to enter the top ten.
If uc1a hadn't performed too well this year, his personal data would have been very good, and he might have been a problem even when entering the round. So he didn't want to enter the top ten. As long as he could enter the lottery, it would be his greatest success.
"The 13th pick, the Phoenix Suns chose Devin Booker!"
At this time, Charles' hand was already tightened, leaving only the last one.
Chen Feng was also worried about him, and there was only the last one left. If this wasn't Charles, he might have gotten the back of the round.
"The 14th pick." Xiao Hua looked at Chen Feng and said slowly: "The Thunder chose Charles Barclays from uc1a!"
"Charles Barclays!" Chen Feng patted Charles in surprise, "Hey brother, it's you, you are the 14th pick."
"Haha, it's me." Charles smirked twice, then his eyes turned red.
He is not the kind of talented player. He can get to where he is today by hard work and opportunity.
But the more this happens, the more he cherishes it. It is already very difficult for Charles to be able to enter the lottery zone!
