The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

"The Charlotte Bobcats' selection is... Nerlens Noel from the University of Kentucky!"

There was a hint of embarrassment in the air.

Mallory: "..."

Everyone in the Wizards: "..."

A polite yet awkward smile appeared on Wang Xiao's face, and at the same time he cursed in his heart.

Is the management of the Bobcats mentally ill? In another time and space, Noel, known as the American Redwood, fell from the No. 1 pick to the sixth overall pick due to injuries. The Bobcats, who held the No. 4 pick, did not choose him and chose Cody Zeller.

This time and space Noel was also affected by injuries, and the Bobcats' draft pick was one round higher than before, becoming the third pick. Why did they choose Noel?

But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Xiao felt relieved again, the owner of Bobcats was Jordan!

What is Joe's vision? I believe everyone on earth knows it, no matter who he chooses, it is not surprising.

...

Turning to look at Malorie, the little girl was holding her arms around her chest, looking at herself with intriguing eyes.

"Ah, mistake, mistake."

Smiling awkwardly, Wang Xiao said again: "The Phoenix Suns with the No. 4 pick next, it's your turn to guess who they will pick."

"Tch, you have superpowers." Mallory curled her lips in disdain, and at the same time felt ashamed that she almost believed the liar's words just now, and then her eyes focused on the draft.

"...I think it should be McCollum, because the Suns are too bad in the backcourt without Steve Nash."

"In that case, I guess it's Alex Ryan."

"Did you use superpowers again this time?" Malorie gave Wang Xiao a sharp look, full of provocation.

"The Phoenix Suns' selection is ... center Alex Len from the University of Maryland."

Following Stern's words, everyone's attention once again focused on Wang Xiao.

Although the matter of superpowers is pure nonsense, the judgment displayed by Wang Xiao is really too terrifying.

This year's draft is different from the past.

On weekdays, those players with full abilities and unlimited potential have basically negotiated with the major teams before the start of the draft, and decided their picks in advance, and the intentions of the teams are generally clear.

But this year is different. The young draft year was a mixed bag, and the entire lottery area was as chaotic as a fog.

The draft predicted that Bennett, who was ranked sixth, became the No. 1 pick, and Oladipo, who was around ten, became the No. 2 pick.

But this upset situation made Wang Xiao guess most of it, which made people wonder whether he had colluded with these draft teams.

But that is impossible. Which team's management will inform the head coaches of other teams of their choice? The only possibility is that Wang Xiao is really a monster with outstanding vision!

...

The draft continues.

The Hornets with the fifth pick chose Otto Porter to form a dual core inside and outside with Anthony Davis.

The Pistons took Cody Zeller with the sixth pick.

The Minnesota Timberwolves took Caldwell-Pope with the seventh pick.

C.J. McCollum's draft pick fell all the way to the eighth pick before being selected by the 76ers to form a backcourt partner with John Wall.

During these drafts, Wang Xiao guessed most of them correctly, but there were also a small number of misjudgments because they were completely different from the other team. However, Mallory only guessed one team correctly, and the rest were all eliminated. At this time, her delicate face was tense. Tightly, with an unhappy look on his face.

Soon, the pick came to the No. 12 pick held by the Bucks.

"I come first, I come first!"

Finally it was the Bucks' turn. Mallory's eyes lit up, and she said first, "I guess they'll pick that guy named Tokunbo, the big guy with the longest name."

"Giannis Antetokounmpo." Wang Xiao added.

"That's right, that's him." Mallory nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, thoughtful.

Obviously, at this time, the owner of the Bucks has already had the idea of ​​selling the team, and has also had contact with Mallory's father, otherwise the little girl would never be so determined.

Originally, Wang Xiao thought about whether the Bucks would give up Antetokounmpo and choose other rookies because of the improved draft pick, but now it seems unlikely.

Maybe the Bucks management will have different ideas if the pick is promoted to within the top ten, but just upgrading from the fifteenth pick to the twelfth pick is not enough to lead them to change their goals.

"Milwaukee Bucks pick forward from Greece, Giannis Antetokounmpo!"

Seeing the tall young man appearing on stage with a smile on his face, and taking a photo with Stern shaking hands, Wang Xiao knew that this thin young man would become the most lethal Greek behemoth in the league in a few years.

Although it is a pity to miss it, there is no way. First, the conditions are insufficient and there is no pick that can cut Hu. Second, even if he is selected, the Wizards have no room for him to grow and play.

"Yeah! I guessed it right!"

Mallory's face was happy, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes. She had heard from her father about the possible choices of the Bucks in the draft. It was basically cheating, so she was so sure.

But she didn't know that Wang Xiao was also cheating in the previous draft speculation, and he was cheating by taking advantage of the foresight of the time traveler.

The draft continued, and the subsequent draft positions became more chaotic, and the players participating in the draft were all unknown, and Wang Xiao couldn't remember them, and there were more and more wrong guesses.

According to the plan, the Wizards selected Gobert with the 16th pick. Although this choice has attracted attention from all parties because of Wang Xiao, it is not particularly valued.

Most people are very clear that when the free market opens, the Wizards center Whiteside will definitely leave the team, and it is impossible for the Wizards to keep Green at the center position all year round. Find a Whiteside replacement.

Gobert is 2.16 meters tall, the tallest player in the 2013 NBA draft, and his wingspan is close to 2.35 meters. Looking at the entire league, few people can match it. His excellent height and wingspan make him extremely shocking on the defensive end. big.

However, since Gobert was mixed in the Ligue 1 league, his physique and strength are quite poor from the perspective of the NBA, and his low-post offensive skills are also very jerky, which is not small compared to several centers in the lottery zone. The current draft template is just JaVale McGee.

No team paid much attention to him, and of course they would never have imagined that such a little-known center would become the gatekeeper for winning the best defensive player for two consecutive years in the future.
