Chapter 238 2015 Draft!
Zhou Qi has already signed up, and also participated in several teams' trial training, but the results are not very good. Even the Rockets, which Dayao thinks the most promising, have not paid much attention to Zhou Qi. At most, they just look at Dayao's face and give him a little more time to perform.
Xu Xiang thought for a while, and immediately made a decision:
"Tomorrow, tomorrow at Bankers Life Arena, Nate and Kevin Pritchard will be there."
In any case, those who can help must be helped. Other teams Xu Xiang can't influence, but the Pacers can still do it. After all, they are all from the motherland, and helping him is also helping himself.
Zhou Qi smiled gratefully, his English is not very good, and he is taking a surprise tutoring now, and he has to study until late every night.
Whether you are good at English can also determine whether you can develop in the NBA, and you can't even communicate?What about playing games?
"Then it's settled."
Dayao also said happily.
That night Xu Xiang invited them both to have a meal of authentic Indian food, but Zhou Qi went back very early, after all, there was still a trial training tomorrow.
The next day, at the Bankers Life Arena, Xu Xiang notified Nate McMillan and Kevin Pritchard without notifying anyone else.
In this year's draft, because the Pacers made the playoffs, they did not have a lottery pick.
There was only the No.15 pick in the first round, and the most unlucky one was the Hawks. They could have gotten a top 2012 pick in the first round, because in the deal about Joe Johnson in [-], the Nets gave the Hawks a lottery-protected pick. Who would have thought that the Nets would not be able to make the playoffs after getting Joe Johnson?
Therefore, the Eagles have no right to replace the first-round pick with the Nets now, because they are protected.
The luckiest thing is the Lakers. They were lucky enough to get the second pick, which means they kept this rare first-round pick.
Because in 2012, the Lakers got Nash by signing first and then trading. At that time, the team sent out the first-round pick in 2015, and then the first-round pick was sent to the 76ers by the Suns.
However, according to the trading regulations at the time, this first-round pick was protected by the top 5, and the Lakers finally won the second pick. In this way, they kept this important first-round pick as they wished.
The fans of the Lakers were all very excited. It was all luck to keep this pick.
It's not easy!
The Heat are also very lucky. In the previous trade, the 76ers got the Heat's first-round pick, but it was a top ten protection.
Because in the lottery draw, the team behind the Heat did not draw the top 3 picks, the Heat were able to successfully get the No. 10 pick, protecting the first-round pick.
The 76ers fainted in the toilet!
They lost two first-round picks in a row, which is sad.
The No. [-] lottery was drawn by the lucky Timberwolves. The Minnesota lottery representative and team owner Glen Taylor said excitedly in an interview: "It is incredible luck that we can win the No. [-] lottery."
This means that the Timberwolves have collected all the top picks in the past three years.
This is indeed quite incredible.
But regarding the result, Xu Xiang said that he could only laugh at you. The performance of the two No. [-] picks in the future Timberwolves really fell through everyone's glasses, and in the end they had to rely on Rose to save them.
Pity me, Big Rose in the Windy City, doing 210 million things with a basic salary of 2100 million U.S. dollars.
After losing two first-round picks, the 76ers can only reap the No. [-] pick sadly.

At 9:[-] the next morning, Xu Xiang arrived at the Bankers Life Arena on time, waiting for Dayao and the others at the gate.
After a while, Dayao and Zhou Qi came in from the door.
"Hey, brother Yao, here." Xu Xiang waved his hand. The Pacers didn't have a separate trial today, but at Xu Xiang's request, they still opened the arena.
"So early?" Dayao looked at Xu Xiang who was already waiting at the door in surprise. They deliberately came a little early, but Xu Xiang came earlier than them.
Xu Xiang smiled lightly,
"got used to."
"Come on, let's go in, Nate and Kevin are going to have a meeting, I'll warm up with you first."
After entering the arena, there is no taboo. After all, this is an undisclosed individual trial training, and there is no one else, so I changed my clothes directly on the sidelines.
Zhou Qi's height is 2.16, much taller than Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang is like a child standing in front of him.
"Come on, try three points first."
Xu Xiang threw the ball to him, and Dayao sat on the sidelines happily, watching this scene, his biggest dream was to see more Chinese people in NBA games.
three points?
Zhou Qi was stunned. Will the center also pull out to shoot a three-pointer?
As soon as Xu Xiang saw the puzzled look, he knew that he didn't usually watch NBA games much.
Zhou Qi touched his head in embarrassment, and said:
"I usually only watch Pacers-Rockets games."
Xu Xiang suddenly realized, no wonder, whether it is the Pacers or the Rockets, the inside is the traditional center, whether it is Hibbert, Howard or Capela, there is no outside three-point shooting ability.
"You are different, your body is not good at fighting, so you have to play that kind of space-type fifth position, understand?"
Seeing Zhou Qi half understanding, Xu Xiang sighed and continued:
"Your role model should be Durant. Although you two have different positions, you can play the same way."
Dayao, who was sitting on the sidelines, heard Xu Xiang's words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he really hit the point. Zhou Qi's body is too fragile, and he doesn't have the ability to fight against traditional centers. Why don't he go outside and play a space-type fifth position.
Beforehand, Zhou Qi never thought about practicing three-pointers, and the final result was obvious, a mess.
While practicing, suddenly another voice came from the door:
"Xu, you are so kind. I was having a good time, and you called me here."
Dayao looked back, was this figure Hibbert?
Xu Xiang also called him?
"After all, I'm not a center forward, and I don't know much about this position, so I called Roy over." Xu Xiang smiled as he patted the ball.
Hibbert greeted Dayao first when he entered the door. Xu Xiang had already greeted him yesterday, so he knew what was going on.
Let's start, Xu Xiang threw the ball to Roy Hibbert. Although this guy looks unreliable, he is a real person, and he will do his best to help others with the things entrusted to him.
Sure enough, he couldn't see it just now, but now under Hibbert's defense, Zhou Qi couldn't even touch the edge of the basket, so he could only shoot dryly from the distance.
But it was easy for Hibbert to hit him, he rushed in like a bull!Zhou Qi couldn't defend at all, and had to suffer offensive fouls.
Just when Xu Xiang and Dayao were watching intently, a voice suddenly came from the side:
"Is this the boy you were talking about?"
