After the staff at Madison Square Garden Arena smoked their last cigarette, they walked into the arena with a solemn expression, ready to bring their best side into today's draft.

The New York Knicks, as the richest in the NBA, the best market, and the city where the NBA's top executives work, should be said to be a place that can attract stars to play here, but.

Judging from the fact that they have been able to draw draft picks in the lottery every year in the past few years, it is also true that the New York Knicks' record has been unsatisfactory.

And I don't know if the Knicks are a cursed team, they have a poor record every year, but they can't draw the top pick every year, and their closest pick to the current top pick is back to Patrick in 1985. Ewing, 23 years have passed since this careful counting, and they still haven't had a champion, which is so sad that it makes people cry...........

New York fans hope that the team in their city can make a breakthrough every year, but every year they return home, hoping that their team can pick out a good rookie player to rebuild, but every year is the life of the lottery champion, until 2015, Porzingis is still an All-Star seedling, but even the arrival of Boshen has not been able to change the bad luck that the Knicks have accumulated over the years........

When you think about Knicks fans buying the most expensive tickets in the league every year, only to see the teams they support fail again and again every year, this kind of bitterness is really not enough to communicate with outsiders.

The 2008 NBA Draft officially begins the moment it reaches 6 o'clock outside the Pennsylvania station.

The first round of the draft is very long, and David Stern, the half-baked NBA president, will come up and read out the list in his subdued tone, and each rookie will have a lot of lengthy documentaries to play, and after the show, there will be the players' own testimonials, so to speak, a rookie will occupy 10-15 minutes.........

Of course, this is limited to the first round, and the draft at the back of the lottery area is not so complicated, in fact, except for these players from the little green house, other rookies are not qualified to come to Madison Square Garden at all........

The first place, without a doubt, is Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis.

This point guard, who has mastered skillful ball handling skills and strong ability to change direction, has entered the realm of off-ball air cutting and running, and his physical fitness has been a mess in the position of point guard, and has become a favorite among major teams before he entered the election, and in the first year of the NCAA, Derrick Rose led the Tigers to an astonishing 33 consecutive wins, but unfortunately the free throw in the final championship game became a stain on Rose's life.

There were many pundits who had predicted how far he would have accomplished in the NBA, and in fact he did succeed, just three years later, at the age of 23, he won the 2010-2011 regular season MVP and led the Bulls to a 62-20 record that year, winning the regular season championship at that time.

Just when Jordan predicted that the Bulls might lead the rising star to another glorious dynasty, Rose suffered one of the worst injuries of his career in the 2011-2012 season.

Subsequently, he became a real-life version of a "wounded Zhongyong".

But that's the history of his own parallel world, and the ghost knows if he will get hurt here?

The 15 minutes that a rookie can use passed quickly, and after Rose reluctantly stepped down, the second place was the future CBA celebrity selected by the Heat, Michael Beasley.

This is another well-known parallel trade list, with inhuman physical gifts but also "inhuman" basketball IQ, Beasley, who was once considered the best template for Amare Stadmeier, ended up not even reaching his worst template, Al Harrington.......

The third was O.J. Mayo, who was drafted by the Grizzlies, the fourth was Russell Westbrook, who was drafted by the yet-to-be-renamed SuperSonics, and the fifth was Kevin Love, who was drafted by the Timberwolves.

Totoro's heart slowly became nervous, he was the only Chinese player invited into the small green house, Chinese face, although he liked the rocket, but if the rocket did not trade for himself, he did not want to wait until the 20th pick to be selected by the other party.

Because this is a bit too expensive, generally speaking, the top ten players in each NBA draft will be the focus of the team's training, even if it is not the core cornerstone of the team, the position of the host will definitely not be able to run away, but if he is selected at the end of the first round of the NBA, isn't it the fate of the substitute?

At the moment, Yao Ming, who is preparing for the 08 Olympic Games in China, is also watching the live broadcast of the draft in front of the TV, and the little giant also doesn't know what the team thinks.

In the past few years, Yao Mai has been getting worse day by day, Maddie's lazy style of play, lazy defense and always wasting the ball have made Yao Ming very dissatisfied, although Da Yao said at the beginning when Maddie went to the Rockets that he was willing to be a green leaf, that is, the team's second leader, but after all, I have already abdicated to make way for Xian, but you are a core but not good at playing hard? How can you convince the people who are following you?

Therefore, this time, the Rockets used Tracy as a bargaining chip to trade for the top signing, in addition to Adelman's decision, there was also the role of the little giants and other players such as Artest in the back.

It's just that I don't know why, the Rockets haven't had any trade messages recently, and Da Yao himself hasn't received any phone calls, what's the matter, isn't Totoro's performance impressing, shouldn't it? Isn't it according to Dunn that the team, from the boss to the cleaning aunt, has a good impression of his well-mannered compatriot?

"Here's the sixth pick!"

David Stern picked up the next small note, he was already in his 70s, and he held on the stage for an hour and a half, and he couldn't be sorry for this old man.

"The New York Knicks have selected Totoro from the University of Southern Gagnaville in Los Angeles, California, congratulations to this lucky Chinese kid who will wear the New York Knicks jersey in the future!"
