    Beicheng Catering Company provided food and the party went off smoothly.  When there was an opportunity to make money, Zhou Xuan did not forget his past friends and found business for Chinese fans.  Many Hollywood stars attended the Knicks championship party, and they have a general sense of belonging to the Lakers.  Reporters discovered that Jessica Alba, known as Kobe's most beautiful fan, also attended the party.  Ever since Zhou Xuan scored 3fl0, she became a fan of Zhou Xuan.  At the party, many people expressed regret for Zhou Xuan's performance against the Lakers. If the coach had not replaced him in the last two minutes, he might have scored over 100 points.  3fl0 There are still many people who are not enjoying it and feel it is not perfect.  Zhou Xuan said, "I didn't score 100 points last time, but I still have a chance next season." He left everyone with something to think about.  After playing for a while, Zhou Xuan sat down in the corner and started chatting with Mitchell Butler.  Mitchell helped him arrange his itinerary, making money by doing activities and traveling at the same time.  ¡°You really dare to say that we are going to win the season, it¡¯s all being discussed in the news.¡± Mitchell sighed.  "As long as the boss is willing to pay the luxury tax and introduce another star, I think it is not impossible. Don't forget that our salary is much less than that of the Nets. Durant will be a free agent next year. If he wants to win the championship, will he consider it?  What about the Knicks? As long as this guy comes, who else can beat us? " Durant is also a person who is good at leading a team to win. If the two of them don't conflict, then there will be no other team.  French fight.  Mitchell said: "I think Durant may stay with the Thunder for a few years, follow James' example and sign a two-year contract, and then consider a trade. By then he will be old and has devoted his youth to the Thunder. There is a reason.  Leave. And if the salary cap increases, he can choose who to be his teammates with. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't have him." "Yeah, as long as you have your little girlfriend."  Yes. I heard that your real motivation was to take a vacation early, so you hit him so hard. "Haha, if you say that in an interview, Paul might have been sent to a mental hospital by now."  He took a breath and whispered: "Mitchell, I understand why Jordan went to play baseball. It's not just about his father. Invincibility is a boring thing." "You know? People who say this are quite cool.  No thanks." Mitchell said with a smile: "But I have to thank you. Without you, my life would not be so wonderful. On the 11th, Zhou Xuan returned to New York on the team's special plane, and on the 2nd he and Chlo? Grace Moretz.  We participated in the team¡¯s championship parade together, and the party was officially on the 13th. Zhou Xuan took a day off, and flew to Los Angeles with his family to look at houses and meet with Khloe¡¯s family. It was a relaxing meeting.  We talked about football and movies, and there were a lot of topics. There was no tension at all with Khloe¡¯s four brothers present. We had a barbecue in the yard, and we could also go swimming. Things went very well.  The couple fell in love with the first villa and decided it was a good place for retirement. The mansion is located next to Mulholland Road in Beverly Hills. It has B bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 9 bathrooms, and an underground wine cellar.  There is a 10-car garage, a gym, a sauna, and a covered outdoor living room. There are two swimming pools, one of which is large enough to accommodate a yacht, and the other can adjust the water temperature indoors. This villa is worth 1.53 million.  Zhou Xuan's apartment in Manhattan is much more luxurious, and the interior is well-decorated, like entering a palace. The price has increased in recent years, and it was at least two million cheaper in 2022. After discussion, Zhou Xuan hired a housekeeper.  There are three servants and two bodyguards to serve the parents, but there is no chef. Generally, chefs come as apprentices, not to work. Zhou Gaozhuo thinks this is a bit redundant, but Zhou Xuan thinks it is necessary in case a thief or thief comes in.  , Money is not an issue, people have to make sure they are fine. The Olson sisters recommended people to help decorate the new home. A week later, Zhou Xuan and his family officially moved into the new home, which was equipped with modern appliances and the level of luxury was breathtaking. The annual NH talent show was about to begin.  The Knicks don¡¯t plan to draft a rookie this time. They want to give away all three picks. Kyle Anderson was known as the most underestimated rookie last season and had no playing time. It is possible to draft another rookie even if he has the ability.  Scrapped. Chris Mullin's plan is to find players to strengthen in the free market. The Cavaliers only have the No. 2 pick, which is difficult to find.  The draft picks that lasted for several seasons finally reached the Knicks and have depreciated in value.  If it was unprotected last season, they could choose one of Wiggins or Parker.  If that's the case, other teams will be unable to play in the future.  Zhou Xuan didn¡¯t pay attention to the draft and was on vacation in Los Angeles.  Chlo? Grace moved to his new home generously, and the Olsen sisters and others often came to visit.  In the draft held in New York, Jahlil Okafor became the No. 1 pick and was selected by the Timberwolves, joining the three No. 1 picks.  Finally, it's not the Cavaliers who won the No. 1 pick, the Timberwolves willHope rises.  Jalil is 2llCM tall and has a wingspan of 26M and weighs 22kg. He was a killer in his first season in college.  He has big hands, a soft touch and great feet, and is a rare old-school back-to-the-basket center.  He was an upset to become the No. 1 pick because he lacks elite-level athletic ability and has average coordination.  Although most optimistic scouts say he is a young Duncan, Duncan is better than him, and perhaps a tall Elton Brand is a better template.  Emmanuel Mudiay became the second pick and was selected by the Jazz.  He is relatively unconventional. He did not go to college. He joined China EA and helped the Guangdong team win the championship. His statistics are eye-catching and he averages per game.  B points and B attacks.  He is a 196NR tall point guard with super athletic ability.  He is fast and strong, can attack the basket in various ways, and is a ready-to-combat player.  His dominant performance at the Nike Basketball Summit led many scouts to predict that he would eventually surpass Okafor as the No. 1 pick in the draft.  The reason why he is ranked second is because Mudiay is not a good shooter and is prone to mistakes.  His breakthrough looks unstoppable in the CHA, but he may not be able to perform well in the NHA.  The third overall pick is also an insider, and the Lakers selected Karl Towns.  He has good size and agility, and scouts liken him to a younger, less cerebral version of DeMarcus Cousins.  Towns is capable inside and out and has been loved by scouts in recent years.  He fell to third place because Kentucky, which has a deep lineup, has Willie Cauley-Stein and Dakari Johnson at center, limiting his playing time.  Towns has more potential than both of them, but lacks experience.  His statistics in college are not very good, and whether he can play at a high level remains to be tested.  With Kobe, Randle and Boozer around, whether Towns can catch the ball is also a question.  Well, the last two names can actually be removed, and they can't catch the ball in the Lakers.  The unlucky 76ers, with the worst record in the league, only got the fourth pick, and they selected Porzingis.  In the 214th draft, Porzingis may become a lottery pick.  He surprisingly chose to withdraw from the draft, which made him a top-five pick in the 215th draft.  He is 210cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He has strong athletic ability and can make fast breaks like a guard on the court. He is a very good mid-range shooter and can shoot as far as the three-point line.  Last season, a handful of talented guys chose not to participate in the 214th draft and return to college.  Among the many guys who had a chance to squeeze into the first round but returned to campus to compete in the NCAAR again, Willie Cauleytain was one of them. He was selected fifth by the Pacers.  Stein is 213cm tall and weighs 106 kilograms.  In college, he and Towns formed a twin tower to help the team win the championship. They are very good immediate combat capabilities.  The Pacers have strengthened their inside line, and Paul George will also contribute next season. Their goal is to return to the top teams in the playoffs.  After selecting Stein, some people predicted that Hibbert would not be far away from the team.  He has conflicts with George. His performance last season was quite poor, and his poor record proved that he is one of the most overrated players in the league.  The Knicks sent two draft picks to the Pelicans in exchange for a future first-round pick.  Gilliam Beavis was selected with the 3rd overall pick.  This young Spanish player has long attracted the attention of scouts.  Although he participated in the draft this season, he is under contract and will not land in the NHA immediately, so his selection is not good.  Last season, he served as Juventus' starting point guard and the team had high hopes.  It is difficult to find a few players in the Spanish Professional Basketball League who can average more than 3 minutes per game, and Beavis happens to be one of them.  His shooting has been improving, his performance is efficient, his style of play is too simple and low-key, and he believes in passing the ball first, a bit like Calderon.  And the countless amazing blocks he contributed in limited time are something Calderon doesn't have.  As a 19HNR point guard, he ranks 16th in the league's shot blocking list.  Mullin is very interested in Gilliam. He can hone his skills in Europe for a year or two and then introduce him to the team. Maybe the Knicks will make money by then.  There were no big trades on the day of the draft, it was all small deals, and there were no stars changing clubs.  All three teams have unanimously set their sights on 2026. More than half of the teams want to grab Durant. The remaining ones actually want Durant to join them, but they know they can't attract him.  There are also some teams that believe that James will enter the free market and choose a team that is easier to win the championship, so they must free up salary space and wait.  James said he would remain a Cavalier forever, but not many people believed him.  He said a lot but did very little.  Staying until the end of June, Zhou Xuan and Chlo? Grace took a special plane to fly to China.  It doesn't make much sense to return to China early. He has to wait for the students to have a holiday, so that more people will participate in basketball activities.  The free market will open in early July, and Zhou Xuan will discuss it with Mullin on the phone.  The Knicks front office is under a lot of pressure. If they cannot find a capable swingman, they will have to consider keeping Parsons at a high price.
