"Ladies and gentlemen, the first pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers drafted Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma!"

Griffin basically locked in the 2009 No. 1 spot after graduating from high school, and was the third high school student in the United States after OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley selected by the Associated Press in 2006, ranking higher than when Greg Oden first graduated from high school, and after Mayo and Beasley went to college in '07, Griffin was the hegemon of high school basketball.

In the makeshift break room at Madison Square Garden, where more than 100 seats were installed at each of the two training venues, Sun Ce, who was waiting for non-green room rookies who came to the scene, was waiting in the area where he might be drafted in the first round, and Griffin went up to hug David Stern as he watched the oversized TV hanging on the wall.

Very envious, very envious!

According to last season's salary cap, Griffin can get a rookie contract of up to 23.59 million for the first two years and the team option for the second two years, which is at least 10 million US dollars!

After spending two difficult days in New York last night and the night before, hoping that draft night would come soon, and hoping that it wouldn't come so soon, but time can't be seen or touched, but it won't stop, and Sun Ce finally ushered in a key node in his basketball career.

Griffin was drafted, and the camera showed more than 100 Oklahoma City fans who came to the draft, and many people were already crying.

Griffin was born in Oklahoma City, from junior high school to college, is the pride of the local area, they now have their own NBA team Thunder, the team is short of power forwards, they are naturally looking forward to Griffin can form the strongest rookie combination with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green.

Oklahoma City fans are both relieved and saddened by Griffin's selection of the top pick.

But here's something that makes Oklahoma City fans even more sad......

Three minutes later, David Stern was on stage again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Hashim Thabit from the University of Connecticut with the second pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft!"

Thunder fans are going to vomit blood!

They never thought that the Grizzlies would actually snatch Tabit away!

Griffin has long been determined to become the top pick, and the Thunder have lost the opportunity to pick Griffin before they get the top pick, so they are waiting to choose Thabit, a 22-year-old two-meter two-one mature big center who averaged 13.5 points, 12 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game in his junior season, and is regarded as the next Mutombo, at least the college looks like Mutombo.

The Grizzlies chose people this time, and Sun Ce couldn't understand it.

For more than two months, he has been paying attention to the NBA draft section in the daily morning paper, and almost everyone thinks that the Grizzlies will either choose Evans or the future king of Jingdezhen.

Because the Grizzlies already have a center, Mark Gasol was selected by the Lakers in 07, and when he came to the NBA a year after losing weight, he was traded to the Grizzlies, and he averaged 11.9 points, 7.4 boards and 1.7 assists per game in the season just ended, showing the potential to become a top center, and the defense is extremely strong, and the turnover rate is low, which makes many teams feel that God can't see the Grizzlies after being robbed by the Lakers, and gives them compensation.

And the future King of Jingdezhen University has performed very well in two years, if it weren't for Griffin, a big man known as White Howard, he would have the best chance of becoming the top pick, who knew that the second pick Grizzlies didn't choose him!

Not only is it confusing to fans, media, and professionals now, but in Sun Ce's cognition, even in another ten years, the Grizzlies' choice this time is confusing and has become one of the NBA's unsolved mysteries.

What else can the Thunder team do, the big man has been selected, so they can only choose the one with the most talent.

can get Harden with the third pick, the Thunder management and fans are not disgusted, this is basically a leak, but they already have Westbrook, Durant, Green three potential outside lines, and one more Harden......

But the interior of Gifted and Harden has been drafted, and they can only choose Harden.

Looking at the future king of Jingdezhen who deliberately shaved his beard and wore a suit to the stage, Sun Ce really wanted to get to know him, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity, which made Sun Ce feel very regretful.

Immediately afterwards, Evans, who had a good relationship with Sun Ce, was selected by the Kings with the fourth pick, except for the first three picks, Evans may not be the best college performance among the remaining guards, but he is the most talented one visible to the naked eye.

Waiting is an uncomfortable thing, but Sun Ce can only wait slowly......

Watching the Timberwolves' brain, Watt generally drafted two point guards in a row, watched Curry, who was not selected by the Timberwolves, unexpectedly snatched away by the Warriors with the seventh pick, and watched Mr. 55, who was at the peak of his rookie, being selected by the Bucks......

Sun Ce waited, waited, sure enough, there was no such thing as a miracle, no team bet on him in the first round, and when the Cavaliers selected small forward Christian Aynga from Congo with the 30th pick in the first round, the first-round draft was over, and David Stern bowed and left the stage.

In this more than an hour, several players in Sun Ce's training ground went to the scene, and since then his fate has changed, from the slum to the world of at least millionaires.

But there are also many people who cry with regret.

After the first round of selection, there are still more than 100 people left in the training ground, and most of the selected in the first round are small green house players, and this kind of thing is someone else's business.

When the first-round selection ended, some of the rookies left one after another, and many rookies who felt they played well in college could not accept the fact that they were not selected in the first round.

After a while, there were only a dozen people left in the training ground.

Sun Ce didn't leave, he was still waiting.

Chosen or not, he wanted to wait.

In life, you always have to have a sense of ritual.

He has learned from Bill Duffy that if Griffin's brother Tyler Griffin is drafted before the 48th pick, the Suns will definitely pick him, this is what Coach Gentry told Bill Duffy yesterday, although Sun Ce has not signed with Bill Duffy, but others don't know about it, Bill Duffy took Sun Ce everywhere to participate in trials, and those teams have regarded Sun Ce as a player under Bill Duffy.

In addition to the Suns, the Timberwolves, a strange team that selected four point guards in the first round this year, may also choose Sun Ce, and the Clippers, who don't have too many point guards, are not out of the question.

Wait, wait......

When the Clippers' second-round pick and the Timberwolves' first second-round pick were selected, Sun Ce still didn't hear his name.

After the Timberwolves selected Genk Norrell from Spain with the 17th pick in the second round with the 17th pick in the second round, Sun Ce knew that his chance of being selected was basically gone.

Sure enough, three minutes later, Adam Silva announced that the Suns had selected Tyler Griffin, also a senior from the University of Oklahoma, with the 18th pick in the second round.

"Defeated? Now that you know, go back and get ready for Summer League! ”

Sun Ce sighed, although he had expected this to be the case, but since he had successfully applied for the draft, there would always be some expectations.

It's just that when this expectation is disappointed, it is inevitable that the young heart will be hit......

"Forget it, there's no chance of being drafted in the first place, if you play one game and get drafted, what are the guys who have worked so hard in the NCAA for so many years? Everyone is working on it...... Let's go back to the hotel after watching the draft. ”

Sun Ce originally wanted to leave immediately, but he was here, and he was still ready to finish reading and leaving.

If you lose the election, you have to move forward to the next stage of your basketball career with your head held high! It can also be said to be the next stage of life!

Another ten minutes passed......

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the 24th pick in the second round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oakland Warriors selected SunCe from the University of Phoenix!"

"Damn!"

Listening to Adam Silva's shrill voice pronounce the name in a strange tone, Sun Ce heard the most annoying voice of fans in his previous life, but now he feels like heaven!
