When Li Hao was flying around the United States to participate in trial training with various teams, the annual draft lottery officially kicked off. According to last season's record, the Bucks had the greatest chance of winning the No. 1 pick.
But according to the situation in the past ten years, the team with the worst record seems to be unable to draw the No. 1 pick, and this time there is no exception. The No. 1 pick this year belongs to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers' probability of winning the No. 1 pick is only 1.7%. , this is also the second consecutive year that the Cavaliers have drawn the No. 1 pick, and the fifth time in team history that they have drawn the No. 1 pick.
The second pick belongs to the Bucks, and the third pick is taken by the Philadelphia 76ers, followed by the Magic, Jazz, and Celtics. The Lakers' pick has not changed, still seventh, the eighth pick is the Kings, and the ninth pick is the Hornets ( This originally belonged to the Pistons), the tenth is still the 76ers (the original pick of the Pelicans), the eleventh Nuggets, the twelve Magic (the original Knicks pick), the thirteenth Timberwolves, and the fourteenth Suns.
The lottery pick has nothing to do with Li Hao. Even if the Lakers have a verbal agreement, it is impossible to use a lottery pick to select Li Hao.
After the draft lottery, each team began to try out players with similar draft picks. For example, the top three teams all sent invitations to Wiggins, Parker and Embiid.
The players invited by the Magic, Jazz and Celtics for trial training are Gordon, Exum, Smart, Randle and other players. It is really not a boast in the first year of the draft.
In terms of talent alone, this class is indeed the best class in the past ten years, but talent does not mean strength, and it does not mean that it will be possible to play in the future.
If a player wants to play well, he must not only rely on his own talent, but also the player's ability to resist injuries, the player's own character and mentality, and the training of the team.
Many rookies in this class are very typical examples, such as No. 1 pick Wiggins. Although Wiggins cannot be considered a loser, he has not reached the heights expected by people because of his character and mentality problems.
Another example is Parker, who is competing with Wiggins for the No. 1 pick. The former No. 1 talent in the United States was explosive, but in the end he was destroyed by injuries.
Next there is Exum. The upper limit of this player's talent before the draft is Penny Hardaway. Almost all of his problems are related to him. He cannot be effectively cultivated by the team. His own character and mentality are not mature enough. The most fatal thing is that he has to fight consecutively. Injury and ability are not good.
Injuries are the natural enemy of all athletes, and precisely because he understands this truth, Li Hao will participate in this year's draft no matter what, because he must get the Man of Steel.
………………………………………….
Li Hao spent the last time of May in Philadelphia. Holtz didn't randomly choose teams. The teams he chose for Li Hao to try out were all teams that didn't have many No. 1 reserves or were in bad shape.
During Li Hao's trial period, the Lakers were chasing second-round draft picks, and in order to avoid any surprises, the Lakers focused on the Bucks and Cavaliers.
Not only do the Bucks hold the second pick, but they also have the 31st and 36th picks in the second round, the Cavaliers have the 33rd pick, and then there are the 76ers, Mavericks and Jazz, but it doesn't seem to be going well at the moment.
The feedback from Li Hao's trial training was good, but there was no clear commitment like the Lakers. During Li Hao's trial training, the Rockets were the most depressed, because Li Hao went to trial training with several teams, but I just don’t want to come to the Rockets.
For this reason, the Rockets general manager had to focus on Li Muhao, but unfortunately, Li Muhao obviously cannot compare with Li Hao.
Although Li Hao did not go to the Rockets for a trial training, the Rockets general manager still obtained a piece of information from the team where Li Hao had a trial training. Coupled with the performance of the joint trial training, the Rockets are considering whether to intercept Hu.
The Rockets have two spots in this draft, No. 25 in the first round and No. 42 in the second round, and the Rockets are preparing to trade Chinese-American Jeremy Lin.
They signed Jeremy Lin's three-year, $2,500 contract themselves, but now they don't want to pay Jeremy Lin's annual salary of $14.8 million in the last year.
Jeremy Lin was snatched from the Knicks by the Rockets at a premium, but unfortunately, Jeremy Lin is no longer the crazy Lin he was during the Knicks. Although Jeremy Lin's performance last season was not too bad, playing 71 games and averaging 12.5 points and 4.1 assists, but If this data is compared with 1,480 US dollars, it will be different. The NBA now is not the NBA two years from now.
Beverley, who has similar statistics to Jeremy Lin, only makes more than one million US dollars. The gap between the two is ten times. So this summer, the Rockets need to clean up Jeremy Lin and see if they can select another ball handler in the draft. Defender.
Anyway, it is Harden who really holds the ball for the Rockets. The requirements for the No. 1 position do not need to be too high. It will be enough to strengthen Beverley next season, sign another rookie, and then go to the free transfer market to find one.
The Rockets general manager couldn't figure out why Li Hao was so resistant to his team. He would never be able to figure this out in his lifetime. The main reason for Li Hao's refusal was because of him, the general manager.
With the arrival of June, the NBA also ushered in the competition for the championship. According to Li Hao's memory, the Heat dynasty finally fell at the feet of the Spurs.
This also proves that Duncan, who looks honest, is actually a liar. In 2007, Duncan told James that the future was his, but 7 years later, Duncan told James the truth, that was after I retired.
James, whose dynasty failed, finally chose to return to Cleveland to play basketball in his hometown, and then recruited Love to form the Cavaliers' Big Three. It is said that many teams are currently pursuing Love, including the Lakers.
The 25-year-old Love is at the peak of his career, averaging 26.1 points per game last season. With 12.5 rebounds, he is the top fourth position in the league.
…………………………………………..
Wait, if James plays basketball in his hometown and plays basketball in the school district, what will Li Hao do? Will Li Hao assist James or James assist Li Hao?
Still thinking like Duncan, James patted Li Hao on the shoulder, the future is yours.
Okay, that's a bit far-fetched. Whether the Los Angeles Lakers can select Li Hao is still a matter of debate. Everything will not be known until after the draft.
There are still more than twenty days before the draft, and Li Hao has already confirmed that he will participate in the draft and will not return to campus. This also means that Li Hao's college career is basically over.
However, Li Hao does not need to move out of the dormitory immediately. He can stay there until the end of the draft and confirms that he will be selected by the team before leaving.
"Let's go, come with me to Washington for a few days." LaVine's trial training has ended. LaVine predicts that he will enter the lottery. LaVine will not go to teams outside the lottery.
The next thing LaVine has to do after completing the trial training is to wait for the invitation from the Little Green Room and the start of the draft, so taking advantage of this gap, LaVine decided to go back to his hometown of Washington.
Moreover, LaVine's college career is over. This time LaVine is ready to move out of the dormitory. After all, LaVine is different from Li Hao. He has a family in the United States, while Li Hao only has a dormitory.
