Chapter 475: First Sun Fan Durant!
Until Durant took the stage to take a photo with Stern, the boos at the scene did not stop.
And it's not just Warriors fans who are booing.
In the eyes of most fans, Durant is not worthy of this champion.
Before this, James and Howard, who also became high school students, Durant was much worse than their strength and fame.
Or in other words, an inside line that can't push an 84kg bench press is elected champion, why?
Durant's face also became very ugly.
Just like the difference in the personalities of Maddie and Kobe, Durant and James are also the opposite of the two personalities.
James has high emotional intelligence and is very sleek;
Durant has low emotional intelligence, and if he is unhappy, he will do it if he is not satisfied.
After taking a photo with Stern and stepping off the stage and continuing the interview, Durant spoke directly:
"I'll let everyone know I'm worthy of this top-notch sign!"
Of course, Durant's words didn't change fans' perception of him.
On the contrary, after he said this, many fans put him and Bogut in the same category.
After all, Bogut just demonstrated to fans what it means to "play with your mouth" last season.
Durant's way of speaking is not much different from Bogut at first glance.
The Warriors cut off Durant, and the most chaotic at this time is the Cavaliers.
Because after the Warriors are selected, they will be followed by them!
In five minutes of deliberation, the Cavaliers' management even approached the Warriors for a time to trade Durant.
The result, of course: no way!
Even if Cavaliers management ruthlessly put Milicic on the shelf, the Warriors' response is the same.
In the end, they had no choice but to choose Bagnani.
Bagnani and Gamilisic, if the twin towers lineup can run in well, it is not without a chance to get out in the East.
After the Cavaliers, the Bobcats selected Aldridge with the third pick, and the Trail Blazers selected Adam Morrison with the fourth pick.
Then the two teams made a trade, and the Trail Blazers posted a second-round pick and traded to Aldridge.
This should have been negotiated between the two teams before, and this operation is also for the Bobcats to get some benefits from the Trail Blazers.
Of course, whether you will regret it in the future or not, that is a matter for the future.
Houston, who was fifth with the overall pick, chose Tyrus Thomas.
Thomas is the quintessential spring man, with great physical talent but average technique.
Houston is focused on the draft, and has been focused on the interior for 100 years.
It's just that unlike the Bulls who have risen next door, they don't know how long they will have to swing.
The Hawks drafted Brand Roy with the sixth overall pick and then sent him to the Trail Blazers in exchange for "KG II" Darius Myers.
The Grizzlies, who were the seventh pick, drafted Rudy Gay.
The Timberwolves, which were the eighth pick, drafted Randy Foye.
Although there are small differences from history, most of the rookies belong to each other.
Sun Hao saw that Durant's interview was almost going on at this time, and he also went down from the second floor to the first floor, ready to say hello to Durant.
Before he even got to Durant's side, he had already caused a commotion among the press group.
Compared with Durant, the "new champion", Sun Hao is obviously more concerned.
And it was at this time that the media remembered the relationship between Durant and Sun Hao.
These two have a good relationship!
Those sneakers on the night of 81 are the best proof of that.
"What do you think of Kevin Durant's election, and do you think he's going to have a good development in Oakland?"
The reporter asked Sun Hao directly.
"Of course, he's going to be a superstar."
Sun Hao's answer was very direct, and the direct reporter was in an uproar.
Even if the relationship is good? But this "of course" answer is still surprising.
"Are you so sure?"
The reporter still couldn't help but ask.
To know this choice of the Warriors? Whether it is from the reaction of the fans at the scene, or the discussion of the online fans? None of them are favored.
Sun Hao's attitude? Too abnormal.
"Of course I'm sure, I know him."
Sun Hao's affirmative answer again? The reporters couldn't help but look at Durant a few more times.
Players have a "superstar likeness", and Guy next door is an example? Superstars are in full bloom.
But Durant's face ...... It doesn't look like it's going to be a superstar.
Of course? Sun Hao's attitude, they still have to record it.
If Sun Hao is slapped in the face in the future, it will also be a very interesting thing.
Durant was next to him, and after hearing Sun Hao's answer, he was instantly moved.
He was interviewed earlier? All this or that? Minor or serious questioning.
If it weren't for the fact that Kleiman, the agent on the side, had been reassuring him, he couldn't help but be scared.
But now Sun Hao's public 100% affirmation is a huge spiritual encouragement for him.
As a man of temperament, at this moment he has decided to become Sun Hao's hardcore supporter.
Whoever is the enemy of Sun Hao in the future will be his enemy!
Who sprayed Sun Hao? He'll spray whoever he wants!
Sun Hao, of course, I don't know what Durant is thinking? He also came down for a purpose.
After the reporters dispersed, he pulled Durant and said something.
It's about the mentality.
Although this choice of old Nelson? It means that the Warriors will focus on developing Durant.
But even Durant in history is focused on training in the SuperSonics? It took two years to get out.
In other words? Durant who entered the NBA as a high school student? It may take more time to type.
In these long years of leveling, with Durant's character, maybe the mentality may collapse first.
Before he decided to "take care" of Durant, so he came to get vaccinated and make Durant mentally prepared.
Durant was moved and nodded frantically.
"But you don't have to be pressured, Don is my mentor, with him as the head coach, you just need to be yourself."
Sun Hao then added.
What he said was based on experience.
Under old Nelson, I'm not afraid that you don't have the right to make a move, but I'm afraid that you won't dare to make a move.
As mentioned earlier, it may take more time, but it is also possible to practice faster.
Everything, we can only wait until the new season to see what kind of sparks the two will run into.
Just finished chatting with Durant, Sun Hao saw that old Nelson also happened to come down.
Naturally, there was an indispensable exchange of pleasantries between the two masters and apprentices.
"Didn't your nephew Stephen come with you?"
Old Nelson asked in the chat.
Stephen, naturally, refers to his eldest nephew Curry.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
What does Sun Hao think, Old Nelson means that he wants to form a Duku combination in advance?
It's not impossible!
Just like he never thought that Nelson Sr. would choose Durant before!
Nelson Sr.'s ability to recognize people is going to be promoted after this draft.
And if the Warriors don't consider the record and focus on training Durant, then it shouldn't be too easy to select Curry.
Curry is limited by physical fitness, and the draft pick is not too high.
That is, the Dooku combo will appear on the Warriors in a historically different way?
Duku with full firepower under the run-and-bomb system?
The picture is too beautiful to think!
And although the NBA will not necessarily usher in the small-ball era because of Adam Mosaic's scourge of the NFL, Dooku's talent is there.
If he really thinks it, the Warriors will be the Lakers' future rivals!
"Sun?"
Old Nelson's voice pulled Sun Hao back to reality from his thoughts.
"I'm going to go back to my country this summer to prepare for the World Championships, and he didn't train with me."
Sun Hao replied.
Old Nelson felt a little sorry when he heard it.
However, he had heard that Curry and Durant had participated in Sun Hao's personal training camp together, and they got along well, right?
He could learn something from Durant in the future.
After the two of them finished chatting, Sun Hao also returned to the audience.
At this time, it was almost the end of the first round.
Before moving to the Lakers' draft pick, Stern announced a trade for the Lakers.
The Lakers traded their No. 25 pick for the Wizards' No. 30 pick and a future second-round pick.
This is a very regular downward trade.
The Wizards selected Shannon Brown with the 25th pick.
In the Finals, Lu is no longer as brave as he used to be, and it is inevitable for the Wizards to supplement the point guard.
Brown is a two-way guard with a height of 1.93 meters, and he has great physical fitness, especially jumping colors, which is very good for the Wizards.
And this trade of the Lakers also shows that Kupchak adopted Sun Hao's suggestion.
"In 2006, with the 30th pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Paul Millsap, and the 2.03-meter power forward came from Louisiana Tech."
And that's exactly what happened, and the Lakers then chose Millsap!
When this choice came out, the Lakers fans at the scene were also a little puzzled.
After all, the fans' understanding of the players is definitely not as good as that of the management of each team.
All they can see is draft predictions, and it's normal to have doubts when they see that the Lakers used the first round to pick a prediction and the second round was interrupted.
However, unlike the previous Warriors fans, the Lakers' performance of 5 championships in 7 years has accumulated enough self-confidence for them.
So doubts aside, when Millsap came to the stage with a surprise face, they still sent applause and cheers.
This made Millsap's face even more pleased.
Even Stern, who shook hands with him, was also smiling, because this was the old man's last work tonight.
Overall, Millsap had a full draft experience.
And what's interesting is that after checking the relevant information, fans are quite optimistic about Millsap.
Although the talent is not too great, and the skill is not too outstanding, he does fit well with the Lakers.
On the offensive end, he has a good one-handed half-volley ability, which allows him to partner with either O'Neal or Mourning.
Defensively, he has a good arm and a tough matchup, which allows him to play on the defensive end.
In addition, his rebounding ability is exceptionally good, and he is the rebounding champion of the NCAA for three consecutive years!
Last season, he averaged 12.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is good enough for a 2.03m insider.
So overall, although the Lakers came unexpectedly at the end of the first round, there was no big problem, but it was expected.
One might ask, why didn't the Lakers trade two second-rounders? In addition to Millsap, you can choose another one.
This involves a small abacus.
There is a dead contract in the first round, especially at the end of the first round, which is four years of child labor.
But in the case of second-round picks, most of them are two-year contracts, and they have to be renewed after playing.
So if you like a player and want to keep him for a long time, most teams will choose the end of the first round.
The Lakers made this decision, which also means that they believe in Sun Hao's vision.
It wasn't just the "Emperor's Wrath", after all, Sun Hao had those successful suggestions for Jordan before.
The Lakers didn't have a very good choice in the second round, and in the end, they only picked a random inside scratch lottery ticket at the end.
Some people may say that there are undrafted picks every year, why doesn't Sun Hao suggest one?
This year, there really is, Jose Barria, the man in history who can't even move James' back.
The reason why Sun Hao didn't suggest it is also very simple.
The Lakers clearly have enough point guards, and it is really unnecessary to choose Barria to sit on the cold bench, which is a waste for each other.
The NBA draft finally came to an end, and Durant's election as the top pick was the focus of heated discussions among fans on this day.
Well, the skepticism didn't end with the end of the draft.
But it's not surprising, in history, Durant's draft was also very questionable, and he was constantly complained by fans in the two years of training.
Now that Durant is running ahead of schedule and is the top pick, it would be strange if there were no doubts.
And Sun Hao soon saw something that he couldn't laugh or cry about.
Durant, this guy opened a trumpet and went to the Internet to fight with people.
After reading it, he knew he still had to say something.
After all, I said before that I would take care of it.
"Kevin Durant, next superstar!"
Sun Hao posted a rare personal status on Facebook.
And he also asked for a photo of Durant and Stern from the media and posted it together.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after Sun Hao's Facebook post was posted, Durant's reputation instantly improved by more than half.
Don't ask why, Sun Hao's current fan base is too huge.
In the past, fans ridiculed Kobe Bryant for having 6 billion fans, and Sun Hao's current popularity will only be more exaggerated.
Sun Hao, a rare person who publicly supports a player, how can they be indifferent.
So, while eating crispy noodles, Durant, who kept switching trumpets to land, was moved again.
Death for a confidant!
Sun Hao is really good to him!
Whoever grabs Sun Hao's reputation as an iron fan with him in the future, who is he anxious with!
……
Immediately after the draft, the focus shifted to the upcoming free agency.
There aren't many big fish in free agency this year, Big Ben, Peja Stojakovic, and Terry are a few big fish, followed by role players like Barbosa and Tim Thomas.
However, this year's player market will not be as calm as it used to be.
Because before the season ended, many teams and players were already uncontrollably agitated.
The Celtics, for example, have already put Pau Gasol on the shelves, waiting for the highest bidder to get it.
Similarly, the Nuggets are looking to find a quality helper for James this summer.
According to reliable sources, James is said to be very interested in Kidd, and has publicly stated that Kidd is the player he would most like to partner with.
Of course, compared to the false news, before the free market door opened, a piece of news from Minnesota shook the entire league:
Garnett, want to go to Los Angeles!
