Seeing Jiang Dongbing suggesting that they choose Odom, the Clippers management smiled.

It seems that his vision is not too bad. At least he and Jiang Dongbing thought about it together. They both felt that Odom was the most suitable for the current Clippers.

After the deal with the Grizzlies is completed, the Clippers get the new FMVP Brad Miller. The center position must be reliable, and then they will add Odom, a reliable fourth position, and the Clippers' inside lineup will be complete.

Alive.

With such an inside lineup, the Clippers' record in the new season will not be much worse.

Of course, Baron Davis was originally their target, but they also knew that Davis would not fall to the fourth overall pick for them to select.

…

Stern has already begun to appear, and this draft has officially begun.

Jiang Dongbing sat quietly off the court, sighing in his heart. Every draft is a good opportunity for time-traveling coaches like them to pick up the slack.

The draft is actually the biggest benefit for time travel coaches.

Soon the candidates for the No. 1 pick were announced. The Chicago Bulls selected power forward Elton Brand from Duke University with the first pick of the first round.

There is actually nothing wrong with the Bulls' choice. Brand was able to average 20+10 per game in his rookie season, which is definitely worthy of his No. 1 pick status.

To say that Marion is similar to Barkley is actually a bit reluctant, but to say that Brand is similar to Barkley, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Brand, who is 203 centimeters tall, is, like Barkley, a typical stocky power forward with excellent rebounding and low-post singles abilities. In addition, because of his strong strength, his defense is not bad.

Throughout Brand's entire career, he is undoubtedly worthy of the title of a top power forward.

Next, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Francis with the second overall pick, which was somewhat beyond Jiang Dongbing's expectations.

Originally, Jiang Dongbing thought that Davis had a good chance of getting the second pick. After all, his physical condition seemed better than Francis, mainly because he looked much stronger than Francis.

But the Cavaliers still didn't draft Davis and instead chose Francis.

Jiang Dongbing feels that there must still be influence from the Rockets. Under normal circumstances, this year's second pick actually belongs to the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies used this second pick to select Francis and then sold him to the Rockets. Only then did Francis and

Yao Ming does things as a teammate.

Jiang Dongbing didn't bother to care whether the Cavaliers had made a deal with the Rockets. Anyway, since he was here, it was impossible for the Rockets in this world to get Yao Ming.

What are the Rockets without Yao Ming? In fact, they are nothing.

Next, the Charlotte Hornets selected Baron Davis with the third overall pick. This selection was no different from normal circumstances.

The Los Angeles Clippers then took Odom with the fourth pick. Since then, two of the three players Jiang Dongbing left behind in the Pittsburgh Panthers have been drafted by other teams.

Now comes the fifth pick. Jiang Dongbing is looking forward to it. He doesn't know who the Knicks will choose, Marion or Dazhi?

I just saw a note from the Knicks to the Raptors. Presumably the two teams will make the trade plan public after the draft.

"The Toronto Raptors selected center Wang Zhizhi from China with the fifth pick in the first round!" Stern announced loudly on the stage, with a smile on his face.

Stern has always been concerned about the Chinese market. Everyone knows this. In order to develop the Chinese market, the old man has endured a lot of hardships.

Now, finally, a Chinese player has entered the league with a high pick, and he is also the team with the largest market in the league. Once he can perform well, the NBA and the New York Knicks that he values ​​​​will definitely benefit a lot.

Maybe the Knicks have already begun to plan in their hearts how to make Wang Zhizhi famous in the Knicks.

If Wang Zhizhi doesn't play well and is only a marginal player in the Knicks, it will actually be of no use in developing the Chinese market.

Thinking of this, Stern even took a special look at where Jiang Dongbing was, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Zhizhi did not come to the draft and was watching the live broadcast in China. When he learned that he was selected by the Knicks with the fifth overall pick in the first round, Wang Zhizhi was dumbfounded.

He never expected that someone would select him with such a high pick. Originally, he thought that making it into the first round would be considered a success.

Unexpectedly, now he is not only the first round, but also a lottery pick and a top-five pick. This is definitely a perfect start to his NBA journey.

Thinking of this, Da Zhi was also very grateful to Jiang Dongbing.

He was also aware of the fact that the American media reported that he was treated differently by Jiang Dongbing. He knew very well that his being selected with such a high pick must be influenced by Jiang Dongbing.

…

Jiang Dongbing was satisfied at the draft scene. Although the Knicks are a ghost team that is not suitable for the long-term development of players, because of the big ball market, as long as Dazhi can play to a certain level, it will be easy to become famous.

For example, Porzingis, who was later selected by the Knicks with the fourth overall pick in 2015, achieved a high level of popularity in his rookie season, which has some signs of making Knicks fans crazy. But how outstanding is Porzingis's rookie season?

, that's not to say, he averaged 14 points, 7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage is not high. In fact, that's all.

With Dazhi's current situation, as long as Jiang Dongbing is well-trained, he will definitely be able to shine in the Knicks.

With Dazhi being selected with such a high pick, Jiang Dongbing finally got what he wanted. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to wait for the Grizzlies' pick to arrive.

"I announce that the Minnesota Timberwolves selected small forward Corey Maggette from Duke University with the 13th overall pick in the first round!"

The Timberwolves have two lottery picks this year, and there is a high possibility that they will use one to trade with other teams.

Maggette is Brad's teammate at Duke. What's interesting is that although the players in Duke's draft this year are all very high, they are all short...

Brand, who plays the fourth position, is only 203 centimeters tall, and Maggette, who plays the third position, is only 198 centimeters tall.

What’s even more interesting is that both players have big muscles and amazing strength, especially Maggette, whose muscle size looks quite intimidating, and he is exactly like an aerobics athlete among NBA players.

After all the lottery picks were selected, Jiang Dongbing wrote a note and handed it to the staff. Next came their choice of the Grizzlies.

"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies have selected Ron Artest from the Pittsburgh Panthers with the 14th pick of the first round!" Stern announced on the stage.

At this time, Artest, who was in the little green room, originally looked unhappy. After all, he was invited into the little green room, but in the end he was not selected in the lottery.
Chapter completed!
