Chapter 277 Carter and Da Zhi get it
Two days later, Davidson appeared at the draft.
This year's draft was a coincidence, and it happened to be held in Vancouver.
This is also the first and only time for a draft in Vancouver in NBA history.
Just a talent show held at his doorstep, Davidson naturally had to go early.
After arriving at the venue, representatives from each team arrived in groups of three or three.
When Davidson saw those who had a good relationship, he went up to greet him. As for those who were not dealing with him, he naturally pretended not to see him.
"Man, I heard you're going to pick Carter this time?" Adelman asked Davidson in a low voice.
Davidson was stunned, but he didn't expect Stu Jackson to reveal this matter.
But it's not a big deal. Anyway, the Clippers cannot choose Carter. Even if they don't choose big men Olovo Candy or Lafrenz, they will definitely choose point guard Bibby.
The Clippers now have a young Brent Barry, who is unlikely to use the precious No. 1 pick to choose a point guard player.
The only Philadelphia 76ers have done the luxury of using the No. 1 pick to choose a defender in the entire NBA history, and they have done it twice.
"Yes, I do have this idea." Davidson nodded.
There is no need to hide it, and Carter will not be able to be intercepted anyway.
Adelman nodded and said with a smile: "The points guards from North Carolina can always give people fantasy."
...
After a while, Stern began to appear and the draft officially began.
"I announced that the Los Angeles Clippers chose Michael Olovo Kandy from Pacific University with the first pick in the first round."
As expected, the Clippers did not make any risky choices and directly selected the top pick favorite Olovo Kandi with the No. 1 pick.
Olovokandi is the standard that he can't be standard as the seven-foot center.
Although he started to get involved in basketball at the age of 17, his physical fitness was really good, so he performed amazingly in college, and averaged about 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game per game.
Of course, this data seems to be overwhelming, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually that's the case.
The main reason is that the Pacific University he is in is not a top NCAA school, and the large, middle and western regions he belongs to are also relatively weaker, so this data is not valuable.
Perhaps experts from all walks of life value Olovo Kandi's potential. After all, he is seven feet tall and excellent physical talent, after a few years of training, he may give people an extremely huge surprise.
This guy is actually a fellow villager of Olajuwon, and their hometowns are both Lagos, the capital of Nigeria.
Maybe this is also the reason why he has received a lot of attention. Some fans think that this guy will become another big dream...
To talk about Nigeria, the men's basketball team is actually not strong, but they have played many legendary NBA stars, but these Nigerian stars have never played for Nigeria in the future.
For example, the future Antetokounmpo and Oladipo are both from Nigeria.
...
Seeing the Clippers choose Olovokandy away, Davidson smiled and Carter got it.
Five minutes later, Stern took the stage again.
"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Vince Carter from the University of North Carolina with the second pick in the first round."
Because it was the home court of the Grizzlies tonight, many Grizzlies fans came to watch the draft.
Seeing that the Grizzlies chose Carter instead of the Bibby they had predicted before, many Grizzlies fans were stunned.
The draft is not something that can be chosen casually, but there are routines to follow. Even if an ordinary fan has a deeper understanding of the NBA, he can generally guess which players his home team will choose.
Especially for the top three teams, it is even easier to guess. Basically, every guess is accurate, and the error rate is no more than 20%.
But now the Grizzlies did not choose Bibi, but chose Carter, which undoubtedly made Grizzlies fans feel a little regretful.
In their opinion, with Davidson's training, Bibi may be able to play Nash's level in the future...
Davidson naturally noticed the booing at the scene, and many of them laughed.
By the start of the new season, these booing fans will probably become really good.
The Grizzlies' choice directly made the next few teams mess up...
The Denver Nuggets, holding the Tanhua Mark, are now confused.
Originally, they must have chosen Lafrenz as an inside player.
Their situation is somewhat similar to the Clippers. There is no strong point in the team. There was also a power forward Mike Dance supporting the scene two years ago, but Mike Dance was sold to the Suns by them last season.
There must be something tricky about this deal, because after only playing with the Suns for a year, McDyce returned to the Nuggets...
As for the Nuggets and Suns teams, what conditions have been discussed and rented for Mike Dyce for one year, only God knows.
In other words, McDyce will return to the Nuggets this next season.
Originally, they naturally wanted Bibi, and Bibi and Mike Dyce's internal and external combinations were quite fascinating.
But they only had the Tanhua lottery. Everyone believed that the Grizzlies holding the No. 1 draw would win Bibi, so they could only settle for the second best and aimed at Lafrenz.
Now that the Grizzlies don't want Bibi, the Nuggets naturally cannot miss this opportunity...
"I announced that the Denver Nuggets chose Mike Bibby from the University of Arizona with the third pick in the first round."
The Raptors and Warriors, who were ranked fourth and fifth, were even more confused.
Because these two teams had privately contacted them before the draft...
The Warriors in the fifth pick wanted Jamison, while the Raptors in the fourth pick took a step and took Jamison down first.
Then the Warriors chose Carter in the fifth pick, and Jamison exchanged Carter for some other benefits.
As Carter was chosen by the Grizzlies, the two teams were a little confused.
Without saying a word, the Raptors directly chose the remaining Lafrenz, and they were too lazy to intercept the Warriors.
The Warriors got their wish and chose Antoine Jamison with the fifth pick.
It is worth mentioning that Jamison and Carter are actually brother-in-law…
Things in the world are so clever, and even scripts cannot write such coincidences.
Under normal circumstances, Carter and Jamison ranked fourth and fifth in the same draft.
Carter's wife is Jamison's wife's real sister...
Except for the top five picks, all of them were disrupted.
Davidson has been waiting, and Carter has already obtained it, so he will naturally wait for Dazhi next.
Soon, the first round was about to end, Davidson read out the candidate for the 28th pick, and then Davidson wrote a note and handed it to the King.
"I announce that King Saramento chose Wang Zhizhi from China with the 29th pick in the first round!"
Chapter completed!
