Chapter 150
Near the end of June, the NBA has decided on the championship.

The Mavericks unexpectedly became the winner of the NBA championship in the 2010-11 season, and the opponent they defeated was the Big Three of the Heat who had just joined together in the summer. Before that, their calls for winning the championship were very high.

The German Dirk Nowitzki's 39-degree high fever in the finals slammed the Heat and became a classic. The unstoppable Bosh, Bosh without rebounds and James who was guarded by the old Kidd became news one after another. .More importantly, this is the first championship in the history of the Mavericks team, and it is also the first championship team to break the famous saying that "jump shots alone cannot win the championship".

Nowitzki is great enough, and his historical status has gradually risen after this single-core championship season, and he has almost instantly risen to the level of Duncan and Garnett, two epic power forwards.

It is no longer said that Nowitzki is a softie, and the influence of basketball in Europe has visibly increased.

The Big Three in Miami are tragic. After the finals, James’ historical evaluation dropped to the lowest level. His ability to lead the team and his leadership were questioned by everyone. The injured Cleveland fans gloated and watched the Heat collapse, They were lucky to have won the number one lottery, and they were so happy when they fell together.

So on June 6, at the Prudential Center Arena in Newark, New Jersey, the NBA held the 25 draft as scheduled.

And what followed was the expiration of the old NBA labor agreement.

Maybe it's because of the imminent negotiation of a new labor-management agreement, or maybe it's because the 11th overall draft is said to be a small year. The attention and transaction volume of this draft is far less than that of Tang Wenlong's 10th draft.

Tang Wenlong watched the live broadcast of the draft at the resort. The Cavaliers selected Duke University's star guard Kyrie Irving with the No. [-] pick without hesitation. Unbelievably balanced, a very good scorer and playmaker.

Then came the Timberwolves with the second pick and the Jazz with the third pick.A star swingman at positions [-] and [-] of the prestigious Arizona Nightcats, Derek Williams with superb physical fitness, a big man with Turkish nationality, and a big center Ines Can with excellent offensive ability Special, determined to form twin towers with Favors obtained last year.

The No. [-] pick is still the Cavaliers, a draft pick that was once traded from the Los Angeles Clippers.They unexpectedly chose Tristan Thompson, the insider of the University of Texas, with amazing wingspan and excellent athletic ability, who convinced the Cavaliers trial camp with his talent.

Then there was a series of big men being selected, and then at the 11th pick, the Warriors picked Washington State's shooter, Klay Thompson, he is the son of the No. 78 pick in 25. His athletic talent is very limited, but his shooting skills are very accurate. With Monta Ellis, a scorer averaging nearly [-] points per game, no one understands what the Warriors are going to do.

Then with the 15th overall pick, the Pacers selected the young Kawhi Leonard, who looked like a monster with his outstanding wingspan and a pair of big hands, but his shooting posture was a little strange, which seemed to be substandard compared to high school students.

Just when people didn't expect it, the first draft night trade appeared. The powerful Spurs in the Western Conference who had just been eliminated by the Black Eight traded George Hill for this very athletic small forward.This is a good thing for both the Pacers and the Spurs. The Pacers got a qualified starting point guard. Waiting for a bunch of excellent backcourts, in exchange for a potential stock, changed the team's lackluster appearance.

The 16th overall pick belongs to the Knicks. After much deliberation, the Knicks chose Vucevic, a Montenegrin athlete. His template is the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi.

This choice disrupted all the deployment of the 76ers. Stefanski's original plan was to choose Vucevic at the 20th pick.

According to the truth, few people should know about European players like Vucevic, so why was he cut off by the Knicks?

"What should we do? Nikolai was elected and left." Stefanski looked depressed in the small room, not knowing the situation.

Joining him in the draft is team coach Doug Collins. Collins got a two-year contract extension at the beginning of this summer, which can be said to be proud of him.

The team's assistant coach Bob suggested: "Why don't you choose the second plan, I remember Don chatted with me in the email about the young swingman from Marquette University, and then the young man also came In our training camp trial, although the wingspan is average, the overall motor function is not bad, and it seems that it is particularly hardworking and strong."

"Are you talking about Jimmy Butler? Tang Wenlong also told me that if it is really as powerful as Tang Wenlong said, then we will not suffer a loss if we choose this one. As for the reinforcement of the inside line, we can completely leave it to the free market." Collins nodded in agreement.

"The growth rate of the inside line is relatively slow, and we don't have too much experience to cultivate a qualified inside defender. Instead of making a fuss about it, it is better to directly sign one or two starting centers with immediate combat power, such as completely free agents. Tyson Chandler, that guy’s performance in the Finals is obvious to all.” Bob is a firm supporter of introducing Chandler, and has always felt that what the 76ers need is a championship-level interior defender like Chandler.

"But will the Mavericks let go?" Stefanski questioned deeply.

While a few people were chatting, the draft night continued, and it was the 76ers' No.20 pick. After thinking about it, Stefanski wrote down the name of his favorite player on a small note .

Tang Wenlong was watching in front of the TV. Seeing that Stern took the note and was about to say his name, his heart beat a beat slower. He was even more nervous than when he participated in the draft.

Facing the camera, Stern slowly stated the 76ers' choice.

"The No. 20 pick, the Philadelphia 76ers chose—"

"Jimmy Butler, Marquette, 222'[-], [-] pounds, let's congratulate him."

Everyone was in an uproar, who is Butler?This unknown guy seems to have appeared out of nowhere, the head player of Marquette's college?After saying that, everyone was a little stunned.

Butler stood up from his seat in a daze, he still didn't understand the situation.

The agent said that his draft market is not good, but he is already a senior player, and if he does not participate in the draft, he will not have a better chance next year. According to the previous draft market rankings, he is only a second-round pick. I didn't expect to improve so much at once, I really don't understand.

However, this is a rare good thing. The higher the draft pick, the higher the contract amount signed with the team will be. For Butler, who is not rich, at least he has found a very good job after graduation. nice job.

He happily took the baseball cap of the 76ers, shook hands with President Stern, and shyly announced that he was willing to play for the 76ers and worked hard to win and so on.

When I walked off the field, something suddenly came to my mind.

"That guy... belongs to the 76ers too."
