When the 867 draft is in progress

"The first pick in the first round of the NH draft in 210, the Washington Wizards selected a six-foot-six-inch guard from the University of Kentucky, John Wall

Stern's voice rang out, and then there were scattered applause in the stadium.

The Wizards' choice did not surprise anyone. Although they kept hyping up before the draft to say how comprehensive, all-round and all-round Evan Turner was and how McGrady's temperament, they only chose one, John Wall, the boss of the five Kentucky Tigers.

With Arenas being frozen, the Wizards have made plans to push down and rebuild. The achievements Arenas has successfully cultivated their favorable impression of the defender, so it is natural to choose John Wall.

It can be said that Wall is the replacement of Arenas selected by the Wizards.

As Stern's voice fell, the dark-skinned Wall stood up with a look of surprise. He hugged his parents and friends one by one. Someone in the Wizards' uniform team was waiting for him in the audience with a draft hat.

Amid the applause, Wall walked onto the stage excitedly, put on the draft hat, and shook hands enthusiastically with Stern. As the No. 1 pick, he had preferential treatment and could make a brief speech.

Wall said excitedly: "Thanks Washington for believing me, thanks to them for giving me a chance to prove myself. I want to say, I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I can't wait to join this excellent team. Hi Washington, I'm here."

The Wizards uniform team laughed with satisfaction. Wall's speech showed that he was a very steady and mature person. Although he was still young, wasn't this more valuable? Arenas made this team love and hate. They were already tortured and never wanted to have similar thorns again.

Seeing Wall standing on the rostrum with great enthusiasm, Iverson sighed and said, "Time is so fast, it's been fourteen years."

Fourteen years ago, he stood in Wall's position, and Iverson also set a No. 1 pick at the time. He was the first defender in NHA history to be selected, and the record of the shortest No. 1 pick has been maintained to this day.

Chamberlain was also very moved and said, "What I regret the most is that it is a pity that I didn't stand in this place."

West thought about it and said with greater emotion: "This rookie seems to be like me back then, always looking like awesome and number one in the world. Then I decided that after the start of the game, I will take good care of him and I will play him to death."

Old Nelson pushed away the three people lying on the window and said unhappily: "Don't show off, all of them are back and blocking our sight."

At this time Wall had already come to an end, and Stern began to report the name of the second-hand show.

In the VIP room of 76 people, a group of uniformed team members were wearing long faces. It was a pity that they wanted to get John Wall

"It is said that the Phillies called the Wizards and asked if they could transfer Wall." Nelson Jr. giggled at the tablet in front of him.

Chamberlain was shocked and said, "These guys are crazy? Look at how many organizational guards are there in their team? Ju Holiday, Willy Green, Sades-Yan, Rodney Carney, Royle Ivoy, Jason Capono, why do they still have to choose a defender? Are they trying to gather seven organizational guards to summon the Dragon?"

"They just want to fill the vacancy of the super point guard after Allen left." Old Nelson said with a smile, "they think Wall can be the second Allen.

"Fortunately, they didn't choose Wall, otherwise how disappointed the Phillies would be. Can that kid be better than Allen? Are you sure they weren't blind?" Chamberlain laughed.

Iverson shrugged and smiled. He didn't comment, but he looked down on Wall.

"The second pick in the first round, the Philadelphia 76ers selected small forwards from Ohio State, Evan Turner, let's congratulate them." Stern put down the envelope and took the lead in smiling and applauding.

Turner, who was thin, stood up with surprise on his face. In fact, he was still a little jealous of the top scorer. However, overall, the result is quite satisfactory. He will immediately change from a poor college student to a million or even a millionaire. How could he be dissatisfied?

The 76ers' choice of Turner is also an enviable decision. When the ball is in hand, Turner is an unpredictable scoring machine. He knows how to create scoring opportunities by himself while helping his teammates create good goals and the ability to make a shot to finish the game. At the same time, he is also an extremely tenacious defender, passionate about rebounds and steals.

However, Turner's body is a shortcoming, and he is regarded as McGrady's successor. Although McGrady may be thinner than him when he first entered the league, McGrady's skeleton is bigger and his physical fitness is unprecedentedly rare.

Turner had a similar figure to McGrath at that time, but he lacked the aura of being looked down upon in the world when he was young.

Old Nelson saw this at a glance, and shook his head and said, "Evan Turner will not be the second Tracy. When I first met Tracy, I was still in Dallas. When this guy walked onto the court, everyone could feel that he would definitely not be a person in the pool in the future, but unfortunately, Turner did not have this momentum.

The 76ers may also know this, but what choice do they have? The ones with more potential behind are the inside, but they have Kevin Love, a super potential stock inside, and all they need is a defender.

If Wall can be selected, the 76ers may be able to take off.

Wallefort, the two formed a whirlwind, which would inevitably cause a bloody storm in the league.

"The third pick in the first round, the Nets selected the six-foot-ten forward from Georgetown University, Derek Bernard Favors."

After hearing Stern's words, West asked in confusion: "The Nets already have Lopez and Yi Jianlian in the interior, why do you still have to choose an inside? It's a bit congested."

Chamberlain knew the trick. He and Yi Jianlian only got on the phone the day before and had known what the Nets were going to plan.

The template of Favors is considered to be an Amaretta Demier-style brutalist insider. His excellent basket footstep movement speed and basket impact will bring the team a new impact.

The Nets selected him to reintegrate the team's inside configuration.

Lopez's ability is naturally unquestionable. He is considered to be the future super center, but Yi Jianlian and him partnered with the inside but failed to succeed.

Yi Jianlian has excellent feel and sensitive passing awareness, but his thin body makes him unable to form impact on the bottom of the basket. He has medium and long shooting ability on the outside, but his shooting rate is not as stable as a pure shooter.

Therefore, when the opponent defends the Nets' inside, most of the time, as long as Lopez holds the ball, the two insiders will pounce on each other to double-team defense.

With the arrival of Favors, the Nets were trained directly as the starting power forward.

Yi Jianlian is preparing to transform. Winnie has developed organizational skills for him. The Nets hope that he can become a panacea in the third position. Originally, Yi Jianlian was not good at rushing into the inside, so he simply asked him to be a small forward, so he could lose weight and increase his mobility, and be a tall small forward.

Before the draft, the most rumored person the Nets had reported was Wesley Johnson, but they chose to use the third pick to pick Feworth, because Yi Jianlian's transformation into a small forward was a foregone conclusion, so they lacked people in the fourth position.

The Nets once wanted to introduce Stoudemire or Bosh as the boss, but neither of them intends to join the Nets now, so they have to have an insurance policy.

In this way, the Nets are taking risks, that is, there is a serious small forward in the third position. Yi Jianlian has excellent shooting feel and movement speed, but compared with most No. 3 players, he is tall but has a relatively slow speed, so this combination will also have many defensive flaws.

Favors was so proud that he was just selected as the division's Rookie of the Year by the media and was named the Best Team of the Year by Sports Online. He won the Best Rookie of the Week in college four times. He was named the Best High School Student of the Year by Prada Magazine in 209, and won the double NV at Jordan Training Camp and McDonald's All-American Challenge.

Now, in this guy's heart, the rest is to fight against the NHA. So, like his ex's inside big mouths, he said on the rostrum with confidence:

"NHA is here, I can't wait to fight against those top insiders. As we all know, I'm fast, amazing wingspan, good ball sense, excellent low-post singles, good at defensive end and blocking, and outstanding rebounding ability. I think I can bring a lot of help to the Nets."

After hearing this, Chamberlain and his friends were shocked. How crazy is he to say such words?

The Nets' uniform team was also a little anxious and kept signaling Feworth to get out quickly. This kid didn't know how awesome the NHA insiders were. He only knew that his seniors Ewing, Mooning and Mutombo began to sweep the inside when they entered the league, thinking that the insiders produced by Georgetown University must be strong people in the NHA.

Iverson rubbed his face hard with his hands. He smiled bitterly at Chamberlain and said, "I've heard this guy is not very good at thinking. Do you know why he plays basketball? It's because he only started playing basketball after watching a Kobe Bryant game when he was 13 years old."

Like Favors, Iverson is also a graduate of Georgetown University, and to this day, he is still the number one superstar in the history of basketball in the school.

However, Favors' talent is indeed unquestionable. He started to work with basketball at the age of 13 and scored in the NHA in seven years. I have to say that God is sometimes really biased.

In the fourth pick, the Timberwolves selected Anthony's junior brother, Syracuse University's super small forward Wesley Johnson.
