282 2012 NBA Draft (2/5)

Chapter 282 2012 NBA Draft (25)

Lu Xun was late for the private school, and after being taught by the private school teacher to arrive early, he carved the word "Zao" on the desk.

After that, he was always early, everything was early, and he struggled all his life.

Butler certainly didn't know about Lu Xun's "Zao" article, but the road to the world has always led to the same goal.

Just like the motto of the Spurs locker room and the truth that a drop of water wears a stone, Butler is probably already on the floor...

Tang Tian glanced at the floor, then looked up at Butler.

"The view of New York at four o'clock in the morning is also beautiful, you can enjoy it."

"Yes, I know, I've seen Chicago."

After Butler finished speaking, he went out first.

Tang Tian shook his head with a smile, it seems that Butler has engraved that early word in his heart.

But according to this trend, does this guy also want to see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?

Their training lasted less than half a month, and Walker and Tang Tian went to Madison Square Garden together.

The 2012 NBA Draft will be held here.

Last year's draft was changed to New Jersey because of renovations here.

After the renovation this year, the draft will come back here to continue.

When Tang Tian and Walker arrived at the scene, they went straight to Lamb.

After winning the championship last year, Calhoun retired, Tang Tian and Walker both participated in the draft, and Kangda's strength plummeted.

Ollie had a hard time leading them, despite the addition of freshman talent Andre Drummond.

In the end, they fell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and stopped in the top 64.

However, Lamb performed well, averaging 17.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season.

Combined with his stellar performance in the NCAA Tournament last year, he was a lottery pick in previous draft projections.

He was also invited into the Little Green Room.

And he is not without company this year, rookie Drummond also ran with him, and both were invited.

"We're watching you." Tang Tian said with a smile and patted Lamb on the shoulder.

At the table in Lamb's small green room, Tang Tian also met Ollie, the former assistant coach and now the head coach of the team.

Ollie smiled and hugged Tang Tian.

Although the team was out early, Ollie's coaching ability was affirmed by the school and he was awarded a contract extension.

At the Little Green House, there are a few other familiar faces.

Dion Waiters, he led the team to struggle in the Big East last season, but this season his personal strength has improved significantly, leading the team to the elite eight.

This kind of performance made his draft price skyrocket compared to last year, and he even came to the top three in the previous draft predictions.

Waiters was a successful one-year stay, but Harrison Barnes was the opposite.

The North Carolina Blackhawks had a chance to compete for the No. 1 pick last season, but after playing for an extra year, there was no obvious improvement in strength, and North Carolina also stopped in the top eight.

His current draft predictions have nothing to do with the top three, basically just the middle of the lottery.

This is the importance of draft opportunities. Barnes lost the game in his head and directly changed his entire career.

Besides these two, Tang Tian also met the remaining North Carolina players.

Marshall, John Henson, Tyler Zeller, Miles Plumlee.

All in all, this is a one-time draft with all the core members of North Carolina. Coach Williams will have a difficult time next year.

Of course, in addition to these, Tang Tian also met the quasi-champion pick, the famous "Empty Cut Group Leader" Anthony Davis.

Davis looked as thin as ribs at this time.

But his height and wingspan are a bit scary.

Davis noticed that someone was looking at him, turned around and saw that it was Tang Tian, ​​and immediately smiled.

Tang Tian hit so many key goals in the finals, it was hard not to be recognized.

But ahem, Davis's eyebrows are so happy, I really want to go up and touch them.

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing.

The draft was about to begin, and Tang Tian and Walker also returned to the auditorium.

When Stern came out, the scene was booed as usual.

Tang Tian and Walker booed together unconsciously. As an audience, it is very important to blend into the atmosphere.

Last year, the Bobcats' record was terrible, but fate still made a joke with the basketball gods, and they failed to win the No. 1 lottery in the end.

Although this year is not a draft year, Anthony Davis is the kind of solid cornerstone player.

Just like Howard was not selected for the second place in the previous draw.

Even some hardcore fans of the Bobcats can only sigh with emotion: Master Joe, poisonous!

This year's No. 1 pick was drawn by the Hornets.

After the Hornets sent Paul away and ushered in a new owner, they finally had the opportunity to rebuild the team.

Tang Tian still has a good impression of the Hornets team.

Because the Hornets are in New Orleans.

Certainly not because of New Orleans wings, because there are no wings in New Orleans.

It was because the city had been hit by a catastrophic hurricane, the kind where the entire city was almost blown away, but they have been rebuilding over the years.

This is actually a very inspiring thing.

So being able to draw the No. 1 lottery may also be due to a stern intention in the dark.

Tang Tian and Walker were sitting on the sidelines at this time. Walker took out the French fries he bought, and the two of them ate and watched, feeling really happy.

Compared with sitting in the audience waiting to be selected last year, this kind of mentality as an audience is actually very different.

The Hornets made their pick after five minutes of deliberation, Anthony Davis.

In fact, there is no need to think about it at all, this is just a formality.

After the Hornets came the Bobcats.

The Bobcats hold the No. 2 pick, but there are plenty of options.

Kentucky's Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Florida's Bradley Beal, Kansas' Thomas Robinson, Syracuse's Dion Waiters, Weber State's Damian Lillard etc.

With so many choices, it also shows that Davis' strength is really out of line with those behind him.

The Bobcats ended up taking Gilchrist, a Davis alumnus, and a defensive small forward.

Compared with the Bobcats' performance in the draft in the past, this can be regarded as a relatively satisfactory choice.

The Wizards took Bradley Beal with the third pick.

Dion Waiters was selected by the Cavaliers with the fourth overall pick.

The Kings chose Thomas Robinson with the fifth overall pick.

The Trail Blazers selected Damian Lillard with the sixth overall pick.

Harrison Barnes was not drafted by the Warriors until the seventh overall pick.

When Tang Tian and Walker went to greet Lamb earlier, Barnes saw it.

After being selected right now, he unconsciously glanced at where Tang Tian and Walker were sitting.

Like Derek Williams back then, he really hated him.

He originally wanted to stay and defeat Tang Tian and Walker, but Tang Tian and Walker both participated in the election.

He stayed for a year, and this year he went directly from the No. 1 pick to the No. 7 pick.

Fortunately, he joined the Warriors. He heard that Klay Thompson and Tang Tian of the Warriors had always been in a competitive relationship.

He joined there just in time to find a chance to defeat Tang Tian again.

Thanks for the rewards of Lu Chuanxia, ​​but burgers with French fries, woofer, immortal and immortal.
