Chapter 61: The Draft

(A few brief points, the first point, I'm stupid, I want to use my personal opinion or something to convince the audience, it's like someone loves salty tofu brain, some people love sweet tofu brain, and if you have to convince people who like salty to eat sweet, it's completely brain-dead behavior.) No player will be liked by everyone, and those who hate him will ignore his strengths and magnify his shortcomings, as an author, as long as he writes his own story, why persuade others to eat sweet tofu brain? So I won't be cheap in the future.

The second point,I made the mistake of a pseudo-fan again.,A book friend reminded me.,The league has a treaty called the Staupin Rule.,It stipulates that teams can't trade the first round for two consecutive years.,If it's traded.,It's supposed to be 09-11.,Because this problem affects the follow-up plot.,So I'm not going to change it.,Just as the two teams are traded after each player chooses.,So you don't break the rules.,I'm sorry.。 )

The NBA Draft was held on June 25, 2009 in the theater of Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.

After two years, Wang Xiao is back here, and it feels pretty good.

At least this time, he has the power to decide the team's draft and trades.

But next to him, Glenfield, the general manager of the Wizards, didn't look very good.

These days, many media reporters have asked him about the Wizards' trade, which makes him feel very annoyed, not only because Wang Xiao took away the rights that belong to him, but also because, not long ago, in the meeting of the Wizards' management team, he knew about Wang Xiao's draft plan.

"Wang ...... I think we should use the second pick to take Tabit, he's a rare quality big man, strong defensively, and a little more polishing on the offensive side should be able to replace Haywood's place on the team, and next season is Haywood's contract year, so it's better to ......."

Wang Xiao looked at Grenfield, who couldn't help but start chattering again, smiled and didn't speak.

After a long time, Grunfield came over again.

"Otherwise, it's good to pick Rubio, he's been pretty good in European basketball, he's a very good point guard......"

Wang Xiao: "......"

This guy's vision is really good, Rubio is okay, what the hell is Tabit?

"Mr. General Manager, I've made a decision on how to make a selection, all you need to do is look forward to the team's performance next season."

Brilliant performance?

Grenfield's face darkened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NBA2009 Draft......

NBA commissioner Stern took the stage to give the opening speech as usual, and after the speech, the '09 draft officially began.

"The Los Angeles Clippers' No. 1 pick is...... Forward Blake from the University of Oklahoma. Griffin. ”

There was a round of applause, and Griffin got up from his seat with a smile on his face, put on his Clippers baseball cap, and shook Stern's hand in thanks.

The Clippers management who selected Griffin also had a smile of joy on their faces.

Although the process was a little tortuous, they still got Griffin, a big man with a strong body and better dribbling skills than many guards, and he will definitely become the hope of the Clippers' rise!

"Next, the Washington Wizards' options are...... Arizona State University guard James Brown. Harden! ”

The applause rang out again, but Harden, who was sitting in his seat, was slightly stunned.

However, he reacted quickly, got up from his seat, put on his Wizards' baseball cap, and walked towards the stands.

As he walked, Harden muttered to himself.

Why did the wizards choose me?

In the previous tryout, although Harden went to the Wizards, he did not have in-depth contact with the management team of the Wizards, and the other party did not show an attitude of interest in himself, but the Thunder team, which had the third pick, was full of praise and was very interested in himself, and he thought that he would be selected by the Thunder.

On the other side, the faces of the Thunder's management team changed.

"The Wizards actually chose Harden...... In that case, we'll have to choose Evans. ”

Although the situation of the Thunder team is completely different from that of the Thunder team in another time and space because of Wang Xiao's troubles, they are still the same as the third pick. Harden.

However, as the team selected with the third pick, the Thunder can't just set their sights on Harden alone.

is also a scoring guard, 1.98 meters tall, and has excellent physical fitness. Evans was also one of their key targets.

The reason why the first choice was Harden over Evans was because the latter is good at hitting the basket and is not good at shooting from medium and long range, and his style is similar to the point guard Russell that the team chose last year. Westbrook overlapped.

In contrast, Harden, who has a good long-range shooting skill, is better suited to partner with Westbrook.

But now, Harden was cut off by the Wizards ahead of schedule, and the remaining players in the small green house are basically high-quality point guards, and the only big man Thabit is in conflict with Oden, so their choice can only be Evans.

"The Oklahoma City Thunder's selection was from the University of Memphis. Evans. ”

The Thunder selected Evans, and the next Kings with the No. 4 pick were unlucky to be favored by many people, but in fact they were a big parallel Tabit.

Tabit was a little unhappy because he was the only rookie in this class to threaten Griffin's top spot, but he was selected with the fourth pick.

This was followed by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who had two first-round picks, the fifth and sixth picks.

The Timberwolves first used the fifth pick to acquire the legendary Spanish golden boy Ricky. Rubio, who followed suit with the sixth pick, selected Stephen from Davidson College. Curry.

When Stern pronounced Curry's name, Curry looked confused.

His heart, like Harden before him, was extremely puzzled.

The Timberwolves haven't paid much attention to themselves in the tryout, so why did they suddenly choose themselves in the draft?

At the same time, the Golden State Warriors are also confused.

"Damn timberwolves!" While cursing the Timberwolves, the Warriors management team had to write another name.

"The Golden State Warriors' seventh pick is...... Brandon from the Italian league Roma. Jennings. ”

Hearing Stern's name Jennings, Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He also thought that the Warriors would choose Jonny, who should have been the sixth pick, because the Timberwolves cut off Curry. Flynn.

I didn't expect them to fall in love with Jennings.

Brandon. Although Jennings later collapsed due to injury, when he was healthy, he was still a good point guard, playing more than 400 games in his entire NBA career, averaging 16.6 points and 6.2 assists per game.

In fact, this rookie, in addition to Harden Curry Griffin, the most high-quality player is DeRozan, but it's a pity that the Warriors now have a scoring guard in the team. Ellis, they want a point guard rather than DeRozan as a shooting guard.

For the Warriors, shooter-type point guard Curry is clearly the best option, but who will let them go back in the draft?

No one yet knows what kind of storm Curry will make in the league in the future.

Well, Wang Xiao knows.

So......

The draft is still going on, but the Timberwolves and Wizards officials have quietly hung up a piece of news.

The Timberwolves sent the sixth-overall pick to Stephen. Curry, the team's shooting guard Mike. Miller, forward Ryan. Gomez was also an 11-year-old first-round pick, acquiring guard Gilbert from the Wizards. Arenas.

Fans who saw the news were stunned.
