Chapter 921: The Unlucky Guy Who Wants to Go to the Warriors
Among the rookies in this year's NBA Draft, there are many acquaintances of Yees.
When Ye Si and Curry came to the little green room together, they looked at Ye Si with familiar eyes, nodding frequently.
In this year's NBA draft, Little Green House was invited by the league to bring a total of 14 players.
Compared with the nearly 30 people invited in 2007, this year, the so-called draft year, the league is quite reserved.
Invitations to the Little Green House were not flooded.
Among them, Curry, Klay Thompson, and Spencer Hawes of the Washington Five are three of these fourteen.
In addition to three of the five Tigers at the University of Washington, there are also defenders of the Chinese team, Chen Jianghua, the top pick of the University of Oklahoma, Griffin, the Spanish golden boy Rubio, Mutombo II Thabit, the monster Jordan Hill, the gorgeous dunk DeRozan, Jennings, who went to Europe in high school, and other high-quality rookies who have both topics and strength and talent.
"Master, I feel that the way they look at you is very, very strange!"
“……”
Ye Si withdrew his gaze from these excellent young men.
The way these people look at him is indeed a little strange, and similarly, the eyes that look at Curry are not so pure, and the envy and jealousy are overflowing.
Not only for Curry, but also for Spencer Hawes, Klay Thompson, Chen Jianghua and any other rookie who has a nod to Yes, these people are quite envious and jealous.
At the end of the Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat, after Durant and Yes won the Finals MVP together, Yes personally sent the MVP trophy to Durant, and Durant directly hugged Yes and the trophy in his arms, and many young people's dream is to have a relationship with Yes.
If it weren't for the NBA's draft system, most of these hot rookies in the little green house would be eager to join the Seattle SuperSonics with a direct base salary.
But......
It's not all of them who look at Ye Si with eyes that want to have a relationship with Ye Si like this.
One of them was unusually special.
Blake Griffin, the biggest favorite of this year's top pick.
This year's NBA draft was originally called a small year because of the addition of many national players, coupled with the unknown nature of the Washington Five Tigers, and finally it was directly promoted to the level of a big year because of these reasons.
Although the original draft year was promoted to the level of the draft year because of these unknown reasons.
However, the rookies of the class of 2009 are generally considered to be difficult to produce players with superstar potential such as 2006 Yesroy, 2007 Oden, Durant Yi Jianlian, and 2008 Beasley Rose.
Most of the draft's favorites, such as Curry, Thompson, and so on, are considered to be All-Star or quasi-All-Star caliber players.
In this case, Griffin, the only player with superstar potential, really stands out from the crowd.
You must know that in 2006, Ye Si and Roy became superstars, which does not mean that these two people have the potential to be superstars this year.
The best way to tell if a player has superstar potential is to look at the player's physical data.
The rookie in 2009, the physical test data, it was really miserable.
The general lack of talent and mediocre potential are the general evaluations of this class of rookies.
For example, the vertical run-up jump, this year's 40-inch player, that is, more than 1 meter, only Jonny Flynn, and last year's rookie in 2008, there were six players who jumped more than 40 inches vertically, and Flynn just reached 40 inches.
It was because of his excellent physical test bounce that Flynn also received an invitation from Little Green House, and his recent draft pick has been rising.
It is precisely because of the hard talent of the outside player that he pulls his hips, which directly leads to the vertical bounce of Griffin's running is only 36 inches, which can be ranked quite high.
And in the bench press 185-pound strength test, Griffin was 22 times, and as a power forward, Griffin was still second in this event that should belong to those muscle sticks.
In the agility test, Jordan Hill, another hot interior rookie, did a full set of moves in 12.23 seconds, while Griffin did 10.95 seconds, which is also a top score that only a guard can achieve.
In addition, there is a three-quarters sprint run of 3.28, which is also not so top-notch, not as good as Oden, who is 3.27 seconds, and Oden is a big center, but this year, this result is quite good, not to mention on the inside, but also on the outside.
It can be said that in this year's rookie class where the player's hard talent is generally mediocre, Griffin's physical test data has almost reached the top in every item.
Outside level sprint, outside level agility, outside level bounce, plus he can be more energetic than many big centers, maybe every piece of Griffin's physical test results in history, is not top-notch, it doesn't matter if the vertical comparison is not top-notch, but the horizontal comparison hangs the same level of players, that is the champion.
How much of an advantage does Griffin, a young man with a little grudge against him, have in a horizontal comparison with rookies in his class?
Even if Griffin is 2.08 meters tall in shoes and has an arm span of only 2.11 meters, his hands are so short, he can be ignored.
Why can Griffin be forgiven for such a huge flaw?
Just look at Curry's draft physical measurements, which are also hot this year, but have lower and lower pick predictions.
He is 1.91 meters tall in shoes, has an arm span of 1.92 meters, bounces 72 cm on the spot, jumps 85 cm in run-ups, has an agility test of 11.07 seconds, and a three-quarter sprint of 3.28 seconds.
Compared with Griffin, he was beaten by Griffin in an all-round way.
This is not the physical measurement of the strength class of the inner line, but the physical measurement data of the external line.
There is no one like Griffin.
Even if Griffin has short hands, his arm span is 3 centimeters more than his height, while Curry's arm span is only 1 centimeter more than his height.
It's not that these draft pundits ignore Griffin's shortcomings, it's that the overall talent of this year's rookies is really ......
Xiao Si, who has similar talent statistics to Griffin, was selected by the Suns with the ninth pick in the 2002 draft, not to mention a solid No. 1 pick.
It is for this reason that this year's draft is a real challenge for many team general managers.
In the past, as long as they chose those with good physical talent, the bottom line was always guaranteed.
Among this year's rookies, there are only a few rookies with such low-income talents, such as Griffin.
Everyone else is required to gamble.
For example, Curry, at first he was the top four, then the top five, the top six, and now they all fell to the top ten.
It's because I don't dare to gamble.
Curry's statistics in the NCAA are beautiful, but with Curry's physical data, it takes courage for teams that dare to bet.
Redick's stats in the NCAA are also beautiful, and now what?
Alcoholism, domestic violence, dog abuse, not to mention the NBA now, I don't even have to play basketball.
And that's why this year's international rookies are so strong.
The rookie in the United States is indeed a bit of a hip stretch this year.
In such a crotch-pulling draft environment, Griffin can completely avoid throwing Yes's face.
Even if Yees sees the shadow of two CBA players in him, it is unlikely that it will affect his draft position.
He hoped that Yes could pull him off with the draft pick.
Griffin didn't want to go to the Warriors, not at all.
He just wants to stay in Goose City, he is a native of Goose City, a native of Goose City, his idol is Chris Paul, and his dream is to beat Yes with Chris Paul!
So every time the SuperSonics and the Thunder played, Griffin was always the most excited among the fans on the sidelines, and a few times when Yes passed through the players' tunnel, the kid also wanted to use his little wit to lure Yes into beating him.
When Griffin didn't enter the NBA, he already carried the name of the No. 1 star Coconut Black.
With Ye Si's current status, even Jordan will not take the initiative to hang up the name of being coconut black.
There are not many stars who voluntarily call themselves coconut black, and Griffin is the most famous of them.
After all, the champion is popular.
Entered the NBA, and that is also the star player with the least All-Star potential.
As a future NBA star, Griffin is the one who is almost every day and not fifteen is the second person that ordinary fans tear up.
"You deserve to tell me to use basketball to evaluate Yes?"
"Come out heads-up, believe it or not, I can pop you out with a basketball beep beep!"
The coconut black leader has just criticized not fifteen is second on Twitter.
"Master, you don't have to worry about this kid, hehe, he's been upset recently, so he wants to find some places to vent his anger, let's just watch the excitement."
Curry and Yes sat down and said with a smile next to Yes.
Watch the excitement......
Now the whole country is watching Griffin's hilarity.
It's like watching the excitement of the SuperSonics and Yes, Bulls and Rose all over the United States.
Ye Si and Rose were not in a good mood at the beginning, after all, the team they wanted to get that they were going to be robbed, and their fate was in the hands of others, which was quite unpleasant.
Neither Yees nor Rose were as revealing of their emotions as Griffin.
But......
There's nothing wrong with watching Griffin's excitement this year, but as a rookie who is declining in the rankings right now, don't you actually see it as well?
Now, a lot of people are waiting for Curry to fall out of the lotto, to see what it would be like for this player who lost his MOP to lose his lottery spot again.
Even many people say that the reason why the New York Knicks and Isaiah Thomas keep saying that they will definitely choose Curry is also out of a blind eye.
However, Yes does know that the New York Knicks did contact Curry privately.
This is also the reason why Curry's family and friends group only brought him this time, and Curry's parents and other family members are not in New York.
They were both in New York, and they were all in the hotel that the New York Knicks and Isaiah Thomas had booked, and they were preparing for a grand celebration after the New York Knicks selected Curry.
Tonight's draft meeting is indeed lively.
With a huge wave of boos, David Stern took the stage to the onslaught of New York Knicks fans.
The New York Knicks, who have the league's second-to-last record, got the sixth pick.
David Stern: It's really not a matter of boos from New York Knicks fans.
In fact, David Stern really doesn't care at all.
After smiling and lovingly looking at Yes in the stands, David Stern smiled and took out the first envelope of tonight's draft after a little speech.
At this time, almost all the people who were eating melons in the little green house looked at Griffin.
This kind of robbery melon is really delicious.
Three years ago, Danny Angie led the hijacking of the hypersound.
A year ago, Pat Riley led the robbery of the Bulls.
Both of these men were the creators of history, and indeed they made incredible history.
Now, they may well be witnessing history!
Even Ye Si was subconsciously setting his eyes on Griffin at this time, and Curry, this kid was eager to stand up and dance with his hands in the juice of eating melons now.
Underwhelmed.
Sometimes his apprentice is really unintentional enough to make people want to beat him, he is unintentional, but he still owes the beating.
"In the 2009 NBA Draft, the first round, the first pick, the Golden State Warriors selected a forward from the University of Oklahoma, Blake Griffin!"
There were almost no surprises.
Griffin almost gritted his teeth as he got up.
"Master, this guy Griffin was really drafted by the Warriors' garbage team!"
The Golden State Warriors have really not been able to comment on them over the years, and they are at the bottom of the chain of contempt, and even Curry, who has already regarded himself as a player of the New York Knicks, has no contempt for the Warriors.
Griffin is having a hard time right now, and if he lets the Thunder get robbed by the Warriors, he's going to be very bad, and if the Warriors don't rob the Thunder, and he ends up staying with the Warriors, he's going to be hard to get around.
Anyway, he's so uncomfortable right now that he wants to beat up this dancing kid when he passes by Curry's table.
Reluctant to wear the Warrior's hat, David Stern was unimpressed.
This kid has a personality.
He is very fond of such a brat with personality.
Griffin was in a mood, and the draft was still going on.
"In the 2009 NBA Draft, the first round, the second pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder drafted a guard from the University of Memphis, Tyrek Evans."
The Thunder actually chose a point guard?
Do you need Evans if you have Paul?
"Master, the unlucky guy who went to the Warriors is actually Evans?!"
Ye Si's eyes flickered.
The Thunder have Paul, and of course they don't need Evans, which is for trading.
So Evans' face is very, very ugly right now.
Nima's, as a Pennsylvanian, wants to stay in the East, stay in New York, and the draft pick projection for him happens to be selected by New York.
Why is it now cut off by the Thunder to the west?
The person who used to eat melons has now become melons himself, and the look on Evans' face is even more ugly than the Griffin just now.
"The 2009 NBA Draft, the first round, the third pick, the Charlotte Hornets drafted a guard from Duke University, Gerald Henderson!"
Gerard Henderson?
Henderson, who was sitting in the little green room, was a little blind, how could he be so far ahead?
"Big dark horse, master, do you say this is Jordan's choice or Larry Brown's choice?"
Tonight's melons are really one after another, and Curry is addicted to eating them.
But soon, Curry, who was still gossiping about Jordan and Larry Brown, who won and who lost, and ate melons and sweets, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.
"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the fourth pick, the Indiana Pacers selected a guard from the University of Washington, Stephen Curry!"
