Five days after the Orlando Magic Championship Parade, New York, Madison Square Garden Theater.

The focus and hot topic of the NBA is no longer Sun Zhuo and the Orlando Magic, who have just won the championship, the past has become history, and people still prefer to look forward to the future, and those that have not happened and will happen are more exciting.

On June 28th, in the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York, the 2007 draft will be held, and this year's draft will attract much attention, just because of one person, Greg Oden!

At the scene of the draft theater, these newcomers who participated in the draft and were about to become NBA players were seated, and there were countless spectators watching from behind, almost full, and most of them looked at one person, and that person was Oden.

"Greg Oden is finally coming to the NBA! I can't believe what a sea change he will bring to the NBA! The Magic have begun to build a dynasty, Sun is about to find no opponent in the alliance, and I'm afraid that only Greg Oden can stop him in the future! ”

"Bagnani should be glad that if it weren't for the NBA's age limit, he would never have been the top pick last year!"

"Hehe, OJ Mayo can also breathe a sigh of relief, he is currently the strongest high school student in the United States, with a bright future, and his future achievements will be above LeBron, and he can even compare with Sun! But I'm sorry, when I met Oden, he still had to settle for second! ”

"yes, hearing the news of Oden's participation in the draft, he can finally be sure that he will be picked by the first place next year."

In the audience at the scene, everyone's voices were heard from time to time, and the best candidate for Oden, naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.

Oden has indeed become famous, in his sophomore year of high school, he was considered to be the best choice to participate in the draft in the next year, you know, such a praise, only one person in history has ever gotten it, Abdul-Jabbar, who dominated the NCAA four times!

At that time, it was not popular for high school students to participate in the draft, but in the first year of UCLA, Abdul-Jabbar conquered everyone and made everyone shout in the next four years, as long as he participated in the draft, he could become the champion at any time, even James, the pride of the sky, had never received such a high evaluation, let alone Sun Zhuo.

Receiving the most eyes from the audience, Oden was not nervous, and sat in his seat very calmly, he was not yet 20 years old, and he looked as mature and stable as 30 years old.

At this moment, suddenly a black man also sat at the round table position of Oden, which attracted Oden's attention, the black man sitting opposite Oden, looked about 20 years old, about the same age as him, of course, this black man looked younger, and very handsome, he was very temperamental among black people, and at first glance, it felt a little similar to Michael Jordan.

The black man sat down and looked at Auden like that, and did not speak, his eyes were as calm as water, and he did not seem to be like those who wanted to come and talk to him before.

"He also looks very tall, he should have come to the draft, but I've never seen him before, so he shouldn't be an American, right?" AUDEN LOOKED AT THE STRANGE BLACK MAN CAREFULLY, AND FELT THAT THIS PERSON WAS AT LEAST 195CM TALL, AND THERE WERE MANY ROOKIES ON THE SCENE, FROM ALL COUNTRIES, EXCEPT FOR HIS FRIEND MIKE CONLEY, AUDEN DIDN'T KNOW SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE.

"Do you speak English? Young man, why are you sitting here? My son doesn't seem to know you, you should go back to your seat. Without waiting for Auden to speak, Oden's mother, who was sitting next to her, asked the black man first.

Oden's mother wanted to chase him away, but Oden said, "It's okay, Mom, maybe he just wants to see me win the championship in the nearest position." ”

Auden's mother also laughed, is the person in front of him a competitor of Oden? Hehe, he's really persistent, and he's been competing since the draft, but our son is known as a combination of the "four centers"!

"YOUNG MAN, LET ME INTRODUCE YOU, THE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, MY SON, HIS NAME IS ODEN, MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD OF THIS NAME, BUT YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THIS NAME, O......" Oden's mother said lightly.

At this moment, the black man, who had been silent after sitting down, suddenly spoke and said in fluent English: "O is Olajuon, D is Duncan, E is Eing, and N is O'Neal." ”

After saying this, the black man smiled faintly at Oden, the combination of the four centers is such a domineering name, anyone who hears it will be afraid, but when the black man looked at Oden, he didn't feel this way at all, but felt a little ridiculous.

"Haha, so you know. Son, if you want, then continue to sit here. Oden's mother didn't say anything more.

At this time, Auden felt that the black man in front of him was a little unusual, Auden was already famous, no matter what his strength was, this black man could have such a powerful aura, and he had been appreciated by Auden.

"Hello, my name is Greg Oden, can I know your name?" Auden reached out.

The black man stretched out his hand slower than Auden thought and smiled, "My name is Jimmy Jordan." ”

In the audience, not too far from here, a 15-year-old boy said to himself curiously: "Isn't the person who shook Greg Oden's hand the same brother who sat next to me just now?" How did you get there? ”

In addition to Oden, Kevin Durant and his family also came to the scene, he is the most talked about rookie other than Oden, and is considered the next Maddy.

However, sitting in his seat, Durant was in a trance, always looking at an ESPN reporter with a microphone in his hand from time to time, and when he saw the beautiful reporter, he kept swallowing.

"Christine Ledlow, she's an ESPN reporter...... She is getting more and more beautiful and more feminine...... When I first met her three years ago, she was a little girl. It's great that she's joining ESPN, I'm joining the NBA, something is going to happen to the two of us......" Durant muttered to himself as he looked at Christine Ledlow, now 18 years old.

Ledlow is sweet-looking, youthful and charming, which is in line with the taste of these newcomers to the draft, and they are about the same age, even Auden and Jimmy Jordan can't help but glance at Ledelow, Auden just glanced at it and stopped paying attention, but Jimmy Jordan, who was cooler than him, looked at the girl twice.

"Hey, old man, it's been a long time, you're a lot fatter than before, haha."

Behind Auden's desk, two middle-aged men were greeting each other, and Auden glanced at one of them, he recognized one of them, named Dell Curry, a famous shooter in the 90s.

"It looks like his son, Stephen Curry, is also coming to this year's draft." Not only did Oden know Dell Curry, but he also knew that he had a son named Stephen Curry.

Curry is a freshman at Davidson College, averaging 23 points per game in his freshman season to become the best rookie and scoring champion in the SEC league, and breaking the record for three-pointers as a freshman.

Stephen Curry is also on the scene now, and he has long decided to participate in this year's draft, even if everyone around him is telling him not to do it because he still looks like a high school student.

"God willing, I will definitely be able to enter the team of my dreams, I will definitely be able to make a difference in the NBA, I am already the same age as Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, at the same age, I will only train more than them, not less than them, they can make it to the NBA at this age, and I can too!"

Curry cheered himself up, but suddenly found a pair of eyes watching him, Curry glanced at it, and sighed in his heart: "This man is so handsome, shouldn't he be Auden's younger brother?" ”

Similarly, Yi Jianlian, who is highly anticipated by Chinese fans, was also on the scene, and he received more attention than in his previous life, because the current NBA is ruled by a Chinese.

Soon, David Stern walked up to the stage and began to announce: "The Portland Trail Blazers drafted the first pick in the first round...... Greg Oden from The Ohio State University! ”

There is no suspense, no one can compete with Oden for the position of the champion, and the management of the Trail Blazers has long been ecstatic, since the lottery won the top pick, there are countless teams that want to get Oden through a trade, the Boston Celtics even traded Paul Pierce in exchange, Garnett is even on the list, but the Trail Blazers refused without even thinking about it, and let out the words that only by taking out players like Sun Zhuo or James, they will consider giving up Oden!

NBA with the addition of Auden the Great, is considered by everyone to be a direct threat to Sun Zhuo's dominance in the league, although Oden is still young, but in time, the Trail Blazers will definitely become a strong team competing for the championship under his leadership!

Compared with the champion Oden, the next list is not so exciting.

Kevin Durant, who was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics with the second pick in the first round, at this time, Ray Allen was still in the SuperSonics team, and after the SuperSonics selected Durant, there was a lot of discussion on the scene, saying that the SuperSonics would send Ray Allen away, and just joined the SuperSonics, they forced Ray Allen away, and Durant's shock was extraordinary.

The Hawks selected Al Horford with the third pick, followed by the Grizzlies with Mike Conley and the Celtics with Jeff Green.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Yi Jianlian from China with the seventh pick in the first round, causing quite a stir at the scene.

"Another Chinese has joined the NBA! I've seen Yi's video, he's very athletic, he's very good mid-range shooting, his ability and technique are definitely NBA level! ”

"Chinese always like to engage in mystery, do not show all their abilities, I don't know if Yi will be like this, if Yi also has hidden ability, then the first few teams will regret death, I think they should gamble."

After that, the Bulls selected Joakim Noah with the ninth pick, and the Wizards selected Nick Young with the 16th pick, which is not surprising, but when the Golden State Warriors selected him with the 18th pick, there was some commotion.

"The Golden State Warriors, the 18th pick in the first round, selected Stephen Curry from Davidson College." David Stern was still calmly reading on stage.

Stephen Curry hugged his parents tightly, he was really drafted, and it was in the first round, although not in the top pick, but it was enough, and he went to his dream team, the Warriors, which was the best team for him.

Curry put on his hat and walked onto the stage, and when people saw that it was such a young and thin guy who was chosen, they were worried.

"This kid doesn't look like he's an adult, right? Are he sure he's the same age as Auden? ”

"Hey, don't underestimate him, he's the son of Dell Curry, he's a good three-point shot, I've seen him play, but he's really skinny, I think he should be in college for two more years, there's no need to rush into the draft like Oden."

"I'm not optimistic that he can get a foothold in the NBA, but the Golden State Warriors are a strange team, and shooting three-pointers is their specialty, and from this point of view alone, the Warriors can accept Curry."

Curry walked on stage and shook hands with David Stern, and from the reaction on the scene, and even David Stern's perfunctory smile, Curry could feel that everyone was not optimistic about him.

"Time will tell! Time will tell if I can be a superstar too! Curry endured the sourness in his heart and squeezed out a smile to face the camera.

Soon, it came to the second round.

"Sun! Grandchild! Grandchild! ”

The scene was frantically called "Sun", I didn't know and thought it was Sun Zhuo, but in fact it was not, everyone called another Chinese player, Sun Yue.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue also participated in this year's draft and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 40th pick in the second round.

Listening to the shouts of the audience, Sun Yue was a little embarrassed, he knew that everyone was not calling himself.

"Haha, another Sun has come to the NBA, and he was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, this kind of coincidence is not often encountered."

"When I see Chinese players now, I think they are so good, even if he is a second-round pick, I think his achievements will be very high, this Sun is even higher than Eric Sun, and the dribbling is better, and the bounce is also strong, God, I don't know if the Lakers have picked up the treasure again."

"I guess Kobe Bryant's mood will be very tangled now, on the one hand, I hope this Sun Yue is not too bad, but I don't want him to be too strong, haha."

Although Sun Zhuo was not at the scene, it seems that Sun Zhuo is the name that has been mentioned the most.

Soon, it was the Orlando Magic's turn to choose.

David Stern: "The Orlando Magic picked ...... with the 44th pick in the second round Mark Gasol. ”

"Marc Gasol? I heard that it was Pau Gasol's younger brother, and the Magic team chose a center, is it going to replace Dwight Howard? I don't know if we can see the news that Dwight Howard has been traded this offseason. ”

Soon, the 2007 draft was over.

"You didn't make the cut?" Auden suddenly asked Jimmy Jordan on the other side.

The entire game, Oden didn't hear David Stern call Jimmy Jordan's name.

"No, I didn't make it to the draft." Jimmy Jordan said lightly.

Auden asked, "Oh? Why? You don't look weak at the level. ”

Jimmy Jordan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I participate, you won't be the champion." ”
