The award ceremony ended, and the end of the 2018-2019 season finally came to an end.

Similarly, the footsteps of the new season are approaching quietly.

Although the men's basketball World Cup in August has attracted much attention, before that, the NBA still has two major events to go on.

One is the free agent market that will arrive in July, and the other is the 2019 draft that will arrive soon.

However, before the draft, the Pelicans' official announcement soon announced a new news.

After Tang Tian retired, he had purchased 10% of the team's shares. He is now the Pelicans' owner.

And he will serve as the team's vice president, mainly responsible for team operations.

The so-called operation is basically the work Demps is doing now.

This actually means no change for the Pelicans.

However, Tang Tian originally gave Demps private advice, but now he is giving him instructions on the spot.

This is equivalent to making past work public.

For Tang Tian, ​​it was not easy for him to become the first job after he became the management.

He traveled through time in his previous life at the end of 2019. In other words, his sky eye was so open.

The next work really depends entirely on his personal abilities.

However, he is not a vegetarian in this regard. His previous life experience was there, and Demps' growth over the past few years, he is still able to do it well.

This year the Pelicans only have one draft pick with 27 picks in the first round.

Demps inspected several rookies, and Tang Tian probably knew about it.

However, he still asked Demps to try to trade a second-round interrupted draft pick.

This year, several team's contracts have expired, and the Pelicans' task in the draft is actually quite good.

Time flies, and on June 21, the NBA draft will be held in Madison Square Garden.

The draft teams of 30 teams all entered the venue before the draft began.

Tang Tian was wearing a suit and tie, and Demps and Stevens came to the scene.

His appearance attracted screams and cheers from fans of the teams at the scene.

However, compared to before, when I saw Tang Tian as a team management team, the feeling was always a bit strange.

This year's draft draw has been confirmed before.

The No. 1 pick was won by the Knicks.

Anthony ran away, Wall and Howard were seriously injured, and the Knicks made a new level last season, and finally got what they wanted.

Apple City has finally ushered in a new opportunity to rise.

Last year, NCAA was the most popular in recent years, and all this stemmed from the man named Zion Williamson.

The second pick was won by the Grizzlies.

The draw results of the bad teams last year were very good.

The Title Flower Lottery was won by the Hornets.

The fourth ranking belongs to 76 people.

The fifth pick belongs to the Cavaliers.

...

This year's Little Green House invites the largest number of people in history, reaching a total of 20 people.

The area of ​​the small green house is a whole circle larger than before, and it looks very lively.

But this means that many players will eventually fall out of the lottery.

In other words, this is also the most competitive draft in recent years.

After waiting for a while, Tetm walked out of the backstage in the cheers of the fans on the scene.

Tetm's performance in the past season was perfect. Instead of booing, the fans welcomed him with cheers. This is the greatest affirmation.

After a familiar opening remark, Tetm announced the first pick.

The cheers at the scene also burst out again, and the decibels were even louder than before.

Because the first pick belongs to the Knicks, this is the home court of the Knicks, and the Knicks fans are present.

Five minutes later, Tetm came out of the backstage again and announced the Knicks' final choice.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2019, the New York Knicks chose Zion Williamson, a 2.01 striker, from Duke University."

There was no suspense. When Williamson's name was pronounced, the decibels on the scene increased again.

His college highlights also began to be played on the LED screen on the scene, and his performance was extremely cruel.

This is a James who is known as a weight-enhancing version, and he has signed a fat contract with Nike.

It is no exaggeration to say that his momentum in the league was the biggest since James.

New Yorkers are really excited this time.

Williamson's face also had an unrestrained smile.

Although the Knicks' management is bad, it is a New York giant after all.

Starting his career in such a bustling metropolis, his business value will explode from the beginning.

The second-placed Grizzlies are also similar to the draft pick's prediction.

After sending away Conley and Gasol one after another, the team did not have much talent except Wendell Carter, who was selected last year.

So their goal is very clear, which is to choose the one with the best talent.

Williamson was chosen, and their goals were determined as well.

Ja Morant.

In his sophomore season just passed, he averaged 24.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 10 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game.

He is the first player to average 20 points and 10 assists per game since NCAA assists data in 1980.

He led Morris State to the second round of the NCAA Championship, and himself won the NCAA Bob Cousey Award (Best Point Guard of the Year).

In terms of talent, he is the number one point guard in this year's draft.

In the era when point guards were prevalent, there was not much suspense about this choice.

The third pick is suspense.

RJ Barrett, who was favored before, performed averagely at Duke University, and DeAndre Hunter and Darius Garland were both possible choices for this ranking.

It depends on how Boss Qiao chooses.

Jordan unexpectedly chose Bamba last year, but Bamba suffered an injury in her rookie season and performed mediocrely.

So it is very interesting to know what choice Boss Qiao will make and even what kind of mood the selected person will feel.

Five minutes later, in the anticipated eyes of fans, including Tang Tian, ​​Tatm walked out of the draft backstage for the third time.

"The third pick in the first round of the NBA in 2019, the Charlotte Hornets chose...RJ Barrett, 2.01 shooting guard, from Duke University."

Everyone's reaction was different after the result of this draft.

Some people feel that Boss Qiao is a rare seeking stability this year.

Some people think this is very Jordan because Barrett is famous, but playing at Duke University is really bad.

In any case, Barrett was finally selected in the top three picks.

He looked in a good mood and walked up to the stage with a brisk manner in the Hornets hat.

Shake hands with Tatm and take a photo.

After that, he did not step down immediately, but unbuttoned the buttons of his suit in front of so many people in the audience, and then exposed the clothes inside.

It was not a shirt, but a ball uniform, a ball uniform that looked a bit old.

Spurs' No. 31.

If it was ten years earlier, no one knew who this jersey belonged to.

But now, everyone knows it.

This is the jersey that Tang Tian wore when he was with the Spurs!

The scene exploded.

They were not very interested in Barrett, but now it seems that Barrett is a fan of Tang Tian!
Chapter completed!
