With the second pick, the Bulls selected Brandon Roy with the second pick.

The Bulls are in the playoffs, so normally they won't have the second pick.

But when they sent Jamal Crawford to the Knicks, they got a first-round pick back.

At that time, no one thought that the general draft pick would become a high-ranking draft pick. Since the owners became the Dolan family, the Knicks have never had the idea of ​​​​defeating it. They are thinking of ways to strengthen every year.

, the salary for the season that just ended reached a new high of 127 million U.S. dollars. Including the salary expenses of coaches and management, the personnel salary alone reached 150 million U.S. dollars... Who would have thought that such a team would actually finish last in the league?

First.

The Bulls were in the playoffs and picked up the second pick for nothing.

It's just that the Bulls' selection of Liu Xiu was quite unexpected.

Roy is not a top-three pick, or even a top-five pick.

But what surprised Liu Xiu was not that Roy was selected with the second overall pick, but why did the Bulls select Roy?

The Bulls are not short of outsiders. As a youth team, they lack everything. But they do not lack ball-holding outsiders. Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Luol Deng are all the ones who need to have the ball in their hands.

Roy had a problem in college, which was that he was quite sticky with the ball. Although he had greatly improved by his senior year, and his perseverance could be seen, it still affected his draft stock.

With the third pick, the Bobcats' minority owner Michael Jordan unsurprisingly selected Adam Morrison.

It has long been reported that Jordan promised Adam Morrison that he would draft him.

At the 4th pick, the trade is coming!

The Timberwolves selected Terrence Thomas and bought the 60th overall pick in the second round from the Trail Blazers for US$250,000. The two picks were sent to the Bulls in exchange for Bran, who had just been drafted by the Bulls.

Den Roy.

Qing'er asked in surprise: "Brother, why is the Bulls doing this? The No. 2 pick is changed to the No. 4 pick?"

Anne Hathaway also looked at Liu Xiu with her big curious eyes.

Liu Xiu thought about it for a while and responded: "Maybe it's to save money? That should be the case. No wonder, otherwise it would make no sense for them to choose Roy. Their goal from the beginning was Thomas."

Anne Hathaway raised her hand and asked: "Then why don't they directly trade the draft picks with the Timberwolves, instead of going around like this?"

"If the picks are traded first, if Thomas is selected with the No. 1 pick, they will be passive. If the team that got their No. 2 pick selects Thomas, they will be equally passive. They must be sure

This was done because the Timberwolves wanted Roy... and they also saved 250,000 to buy a second-round pick. I think they have a potential undrafted draft pick.

By the way, it was the same situation when the Magic drafted Webb and traded for Penny.

It’s really surprising that our team actually sold the No. 60 pick for 250,000, thinking that even if they didn’t want to pick that pick, they would keep it and pick someone at random.”

"Well, your boss is just rich and not stupid. He didn't even think about choosing someone who can make money by selling it, of course he has to sell it..."

The draft was still going on, and with the fifth pick, the SuperSonics came to draw the lottery and selected Andrea Bargnani from Rome, Italy.

The Hawks selected Sheldon Williams with the 6th overall pick, and the Celtics selected Randy Foye with the 7th overall pick.

The Bucks' No. 8 pick was given to the Hornets when they originally traded for Magloire, and the Hornets selected another big man, Hilton Armstrong.

The Warriors selected Rudy Gay with the 9th overall pick, and the Rockets selected Patrick O'Bryant with the 10th overall pick...

Many of Liu Xiu’s names among the players selected in the first and middle stages of the first round have been seen in the news recently, and they have no memory of them at all in their previous lives.

Liu Xiu originally expected that their team would make some kind of deal, but it turned out there wasn't... but this was actually what he expected.

In the past week, the team has communicated with him many times about how to proceed.

The consensus reached is that the draft selection means combat ability, and the free market will introduce capable players.

Finally, after the Pistons selected James White with the 29th overall pick and traded him to the Spurs, it was the Trail Blazers' turn to select someone.

Stern returned to the stage and said with his usual smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2006 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected with the 30th overall pick in the first round...from Louisiana Tech.

Paul Millsap!"

Liu Xiu clapped his hands, this leak must be picked up!

Liu Xiu remembers that although Millsap was only a second-round pick, he was selected to the All-Rookie Team.

For this reason alone, it is worth spending the No. 30 pick on this rookie.

He remembered that Millsap should be in the second half of the second round. They had the 14th pick in the second round, but the draft picks had changed so much. God knows whether Millsap was selected at that time, and the 30th pick was not suitable.

The candidate, just in case, rushed directly.

Later, with the 44th pick in the second round, the Trail Blazers had a 216-centimeter big center named Saber Check.

Liu Xiu had never heard of this player, but as they had discussed, there was really nothing to choose from, so he chose the tallest center.

…

The draft was uneventful, with the biggest trade being the swap of the No. 2 and No. 4 picks.

Liu Xiu doesn't think it's a good thing for the defending champion to trade for rookies in the draft, but there will always be expectations at that time. Whether it is a good trade or a bad trade, there is always a sense of excitement.

If nothing happens, there will be some regrets.

But it doesn't matter afterwards.

In the evening, after practicing the process of creating life in depth with Anne Hathaway, I went to bed early.

After entering the simulation training mode and setting up the basic skills simulation training, he opened the system screen and looked at the 493361 healing value marked in the upper right corner.

Season overall rating, highest rating, championship + FMVP, 100,000 healing value.

In addition, the 3W healing value reward for completing all three goals of 'God of G6' will be added.

There are also people who heal opponents during games and heal the team tirelessly in normal times...

At the end of the finals, the healing value exceeded 500,000, but after several days of simulation training, it has dropped below 500,000.

The other rewards of the ‘God of G6’, the advanced bounce +1, have been used, and the bounce has been increased to 91.

He hasn't tried out LaVine's dunk bag yet. He hasn't touched the ball much since the finals. He really didn't want to touch basketball in the past few days.

But after watching the draft today, he feels that his "ball-weary period" should be over and he is starting to feel motivated!

He has already started thinking about the new season for the team, and he also needs to make his own offseason arrangements before the start of the free market in July.

He calculated and set aside 30,000 yuan for injuries and 200,000 yuan for more than three months of simulated training.

Because I may have to learn skills in the offseason, I set aside 60,000.
Chapter completed!
