The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The draft is still going on, and the teams are also choosing their favorite players one after another.

The trade between the Bucks and the Magic is just a small episode in the draft. Although it is surprising, no one thinks about it.

Soon, the 30 players in the first round will be selected one after another. The players selected in the first round will be very happy. After all, being selected in the first round means that they will have a guaranteed contract, which means that they will Become a millionaire in no time.

Many players who play are not from very good families, which almost makes them rich overnight.

Players who were not selected in the first round still have a chance.

It's okay to be selected in the second round!

Although the treatment in the second round is definitely not as good as in the first round, generally they will only sign a contract of about 2 to 3 years, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, not to mention that the minimum contract in the NBA starts at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The same goes for Nikola Jokic.

However, unlike the vast majority of players participating in the draft, what Jokic cares about is not the generous salary of the NBA, but this higher level of competitive arena.

A Serb, Jokic played professionally at an early age and played in the Adriatic League.

But even if he has played in the professional league, after arriving in the NBA, he is still nothing.

After all, this is the NBA, which represents the highest level of basketball league in the world. Even though the Adriatic League is the most influential regional competition in the Balkan Peninsula of Eastern Europe, it is still nothing in the eyes of the NBA.

When Jokic participated in the NBA draft, many scouts did not evaluate him particularly highly.

A typical European big man, with a tall body but weak confrontation ability, has a soft touch, and can shoot beyond the three-point line.

Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Gasol and others are typical precedents, but they are only very few individual exceptions.

No one thinks Jokic can reach the heights of Nowitzki or Gasol, at least according to most scouts.

Because of this, Jokic's name did not appear in the list of players selected in the first round.

This is also in Wang Xiao's expectation.

As the bottom team in the league last season, the Bucks directly won the first option in the second round of the draft.

According to what he had discussed with Wang Xiao at the beginning, West directly used this pick to select Nikola Jokic.

Jokic did not attend the draft at the scene. When the draft began, he was still in his hometown in Serbia, watching live TV.

When he heard that he was selected by the Bucks, Jokic couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

He couldn't help but be surprised by this, because the Bucks never invited him to participate in the trial training in the previous rookie trial training stage.

According to normal reasoning, no team will rashly choose a player that has never been contacted, unless...they are going to trade this player as a bargaining chip.

Jokic waited anxiously, waiting for the news that the Bucks would trade him as an extra.

But until the end of the draft, nothing happened.

And soon, the Bucks management staff called.

"Hello, Mr. Nikola Jokic, I am a staff member of the Milwaukee Bucks. We selected you in the draft just now. Next, we want to talk to you about the rookie contract. Please Our agent will contact us as soon as possible..."

rookie contract...

After hanging up the phone, Jokic couldn't help opening his mouth. So, are the Bucks really going to sign with him?

...

Leaving Jokic's surprise aside, not long after the NBA Draft ended, a piece of news that surprised countless people came to light.

The three-peat champion, dynasty coach Wang Xiao officially signed a three-year, 45 million contract with the Bucks.

In the new season, Wang Xiao will continue to play in the NBA as the head coach of the Bucks.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

Wang Xiao is the most successful head coach in the league today, and the first head coach to win three consecutive dynasty titles after Phil Jackson!

It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Xiao is currently the most famous and powerful head coach in the NBA.

When Wang Xiao did not renew his contract with the Wizards, and the Wizards also promoted Steve Kerr to the position of head coach, the league has been guessing who Wang Xiao's next home is.

Some people speculated that it might be the Cavaliers with the luxurious lineup of the Big Four, and some people speculated that it would be the pioneer who once abandoned Wang Xiao, but now he is full of sincerity, and some people thought that Wang Xiao might go to his disciples in the NCAA period Jeremy Lin, into the Brooklyn Nets.

But no one thought that Wang Xiao would actually join the Bucks, a team at the bottom of the league!

The boss of the Wizards once revealed in a follow-up interview that the reason why the team failed to renew the contract with Wang Xiao was not because of conflicts between the two parties, but because Wang Xiao was unwilling to stay. In his own words, the current Wizards are already invincible There is no longer any challenge for him.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

The Wizards are too strong, and winning the championship is not challenging and boring, so I want to change to another team and continue to win the championship.

It is not incomprehensible to have such an idea, after all, people want to surpass everything, including themselves.

Wang Xiao himself built the Wizards, a dynastic team, and it is completely acceptable to create a team that beats the Wizards.

But joining the Bucks is a bit too much.

The Bucks are currently the bottom team in the league!

The lineup is a mess, and there was no obvious core presence last season.

And this season, they even chose to trade the No. 1 pick in exchange for a potential center who is ready to receive treatment and is expected to be reimbursed for the season.

Why is such a garbage lineup...

etc!

Someone noticed something was wrong.

The news of Wang Xiao joining the Bucks was announced not long after the draft. Do you believe they just made contact?

That being the case, according to Wang Xiao's habit of firmly holding the draft right in his own hands, is it possible that the Bucks' draft is decided by the team's management?

In other words, the players selected by the Bucks in the draft and the transactions made were all planned by Wang Xiao?

When he saw the news that Wang Xiao had joined the Bucks, the general manager of the Magic's eyes went dark, and he almost suffocated.

"I said why the Bucks are so kind! Willing to trade Wiggins to us! So it was Wang Xiao's idea!"

After saying this angrily, the general manager of the Magic team couldn't help being stunned. He felt a little strange, why did he react like this in the first place?

As the player with the most potential in this year's rookie, Wiggins is not a loss for the second pick plus Oladipo? What's more, the Bucks also got a first-round pick for next year.
