The scouts watching the game on the field were a little stunned, in their previous understanding, they thought that Griffin and Tabit had all the physical conditions to become superstars, but now compared with authentic superstars, their physical talents don't seem to be very attractive, no one seems to have a defect that will be targeted, Griffin's arm span is too short, and Tabit's confrontation ability is too poor.

The White Monster angrily received the ball that fell from the net, threw the ball hard, and started a fast attack.

He doesn't think that his physical condition will be as strong as Totoro, the only difference may be that the other party has gone through a year of NBA system training, and he hasn't, and when he also trains hard under the same conditions for a year, his strength will not be worse than anyone else.

At the same time, Griffin also knows where his strengths are, that is, the ability to run and impact the basket is unstoppable, especially when he is on the fast break, as long as he can give himself three or four steps to get up to speed, no one can stop him.

The five men of the Red Coats rushed towards the half court like a tidal wave, and they exchanged several times, and finally James Harden saw Griffin running from the diagonal spur to the basket, and he threw the ball lightly, and Griffin watched the basketball and jumped up, ready to perform an earth-shattering aerial heavy dunk on the blue team's basket.

Jordan Hill jumped up and wanted to block, but this time he was destined to be unable to stop Griffin, because although Jordan Hill has good awareness and plays diligently, there is a visible talent gap between him and Griffin.

It's just that the basketball didn't go to Griffin.

Because Totoro cut off his beard in front of Griffin in advance, others didn't see when Totoro moved, but he used a faster bounce speed and a higher arm span to destroy the basketball point fly in front of Griffin in advance, and then took out the basketball at the second drop point, allowing the opponent to stage a wonderful off-ball aerial relay.

"Hold the grass! Is this guy so defensive? ”

Scouts and team managers were stunned, but they also knew that they were here to observe a few rookies and not Totoro, and the previous ball had fully reflected Harden's overall view and Griffin's historic explosiveness, if it wasn't for Totoro to see through the destruction in advance, the red team would definitely score this time.

My Neighbor Totoro just got the basketball, DeRozan, who has the most positive sense of fast attack in the blue team, has rushed to the opponent's three-second zone, Totoro made a rugby throwing action with one hand and threw it forward, the basketball instantly flew out of his restricted area across a distance of 10 feet, and flew through the crowd as accurately as if equipped with infrared guidance to DeRozan's hands, this black thin guy took a step forward after getting the ball, and his legs flew up like springs, this guy actually showed off this dunk, The front and back legs lunge in the air, the body stretches, and the waist leans back, giving the illusion that he is walking in the air.

Half a second later, DeRozan slammed the ball into the basket with his left hand, which was a powerful tomahawk-style dunk, he did a very good job of stretching in the air, and the dunk hand stretched back enough to reach out, and the final dunk was also very fierce, if it was placed on the dunk contest, this was definitely a slam dunk of more than 45 points.

"Yes, your dunk is beautiful, are you interested in performing at the dunk contest next year?"

My Neighbor Totoro praised DeRozan, who was defending himself, and he praised it from the heart, but what he didn't expect was that there was anything in this world that could motivate people more than idol incentives?

The players of the blue team have become more excited, and it is often seen that Hill, who is nearly a head shorter than Tabit, is desperately trying to use the power of the lower set to drive Uncle Mu out of the restricted area second, DeRozan, who should play as a shooting guard, is desperately gritting his teeth and using his bones to hard top Griffin, who is wider than his body, Jennings and Curry, who are not good at defense, also entangled Harden and Fullin, Totoro himself didn't exert much force at all, and he was covering three mature rookies Evans who wanted to break through him and prove himself. Two top caps and a blood cap that wanted to dunk but was pressed directly to the floor by Totoro told Evans that he was thinking too much.

With Curry and Jennings hitting three points one after another, Totoro also shot a few three-pointers in the outside interview, and the result was a good hand to shoot a 4-in-3, if you say that the three points of elementary school students are just fast, although the defensive players always can't cover it, but it can always make people see the hope of covering, then Totoro's three-point is a bit desperate, 2.11 meters tall in shoes is equivalent to another "Yao Ming" in the outside player, and Totoro's arms are long, and the shooting point is so high that the defensive players sigh, Coupled with the fact that he doesn't shoot on the spot like other big men, he shoots dry-pull jumpers, which makes it even more intrusive.

You can only pray that Totoro's three-point shot doesn't feel good, otherwise it will be a disaster for any team if the three-point king tries to shoot.

Ten minutes were over quickly, and the RED team was beaten to the floor by the BLU team, and while everyone knew it was the result of Totoro's mess around, it was not that big of a gap between an NBA sophomore and a soon-to-be NBA first-year.

Otherwise, what will be the first-year and second-year groups in the Rookie Challenge? Totoro can crush them partly because they have one more year of NBA experience than them, but the vast majority of them are still talented, Totoro is the champion with Yao Ming at the beginning, can these rookies do it?

After the training match, Totoro left his autograph for a few rookies, and then he left the arena, New York is the economic metropolis of the United States, like Los Angeles in the West and Washington in the center, it is a must-visit place for tourists to come to the United States, when he came to the draft last year, the nervous Totoro did not have the heart to take a good look around the city, but now he has time, like what American Museum, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street These are places that can only be watched on the TV before they cross, Now that he has the opportunity, why don't he feel it for himself?

On June 25th, Morey and Rockets head coach Adelman arrived in New York a day early, and after meeting with Totoro, the three of them went together to participate in the '09 draft.

Adelman was still thinking about what rookie to choose with the draft picks he had left now, and if the big wave of gold panning could still find a beautiful jade like Totoro, wouldn't the Rockets be even stronger? But when the old coach saw Totoro's tendon flesh, which was half a circle stronger than last season, Adelman felt that he was really old and confused.

He already has such a talented and hard-working star in his team, what is he still thinking about? My Neighbor Totoro is the core that can be used as a 15-year man, and no other rookie can compare to him.

Like parallel history, although Totoro abused Griffin and Tabit in training matches, Griffin and Tabit were still picked up by the Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies as champions and stars respectively, although they were abused, but they were only taught a lesson by FMVP, and they still dominated this rookie class, and their agents have greeted the team in advance and set a verbal contract, unless something special happens, otherwise the team will not break the agreement.

The Hornets took away Rubio, the Spanish golden boy who has been inconspicuous but famous in the NBA, in the third place, but although it is expensive to explore the flowers, Rubio and his son are not satisfied with this result, Rubio originally planned to play in a big city team in the NBA, but the draft pick in New York is here in the Rockets, and the Lakers' draft picks are too far behind, so they are ready to retreat to the second best place and develop a championship team, Rubio's agent team has been communicating with the Rockets, Hoping that the Rockets can use the Knicks' No. 3 pick to select Rubio, Morey also verbally agreed.

But who knew that at the last moment, the shrewd Morey still used this draft pick as a bargaining chip in exchange for Chris Paul, which made Rubio and his son very angry, but think about it, one is Houston, an industrial city with a warm atmosphere of winning the championship, and the other is New Orleans, which has just been hit by a hurricane.

The Thunder picked up Harden with the fourth pick, the Kings picked Evans with the fifth pick, My Neighbor Totoro had already put on headphones and was lying on the stool listening to music at this time, although the Rockets still had a first-round pick that was not very low, and 17 was also considered a mid-level position in the first round, but the draft was too grinding, after David Stern reported his name with his half-dead tone, he also had to play his short documentary on the spot, as well as his own selection speech, and it took about 5 minutes to select one of the top 15 rookies on average, Although the progress will be a little faster, it will take at least 40 minutes to wait until the 1st 7th round of rocket selection.

After listening to a few Chinese Internet pop songs, Morey, who was next to him, suddenly patted him, and then handed him a list, a blank piece of paper, and a pen.

The list is full of the names of players in this year's draft, and the selected ones have been crossed out by Morey, and the paper is blank, apparently to let Totoro draft himself against the players who have not been selected on the list.

This was not Totoro's job, even if the boss gave this right to Totoro, Adelman and Morey's hearts would not be comfortable, but now Morey and Adelman decided to hand over this year's draft to Totoro after discussing it independently, and Totoro himself will not have any scruples.

A few glances at the list, there was still James on the list. Johnson, Zhu. Holiday , Tylawson, Darren Collisson, Ty. Gibson, these little-known players, familiar with the future Totoro knows that these players seem to be excellent and can play, but also have their own flaws, Totoro took a few glances and found that the draft is really not a simple thing, each player has their own weaknesses and strengths, and being able to select those players who are suitable for their own team is the work that scouts, coaches and managers can only complete together.

Each team has five minutes to draft, but Totoro didn't hesitate for long, and Totoro walked onto the draft table in casual clothes.

The few players who are still sitting in the small green room and the rookies sitting in the audience are looking at Totoro expectantly, especially the power forward, small forward and shooting guard, they all know the big trade that shocked the league not long ago, and they also know that what the Rockets are lacking is the bench swingman and the player at the power forward position, who are more likely to be selected by the defending champions than those in other positions.

Rookies who make it to the lottery are not necessarily lucky, as many of the top picks in history have not necessarily made a name for themselves in the league, let alone won a championship ring, while those who are not a high draft pick but are lucky enough to join the defending champions are much happier, because they may be able to lie down and get an honor that 90% of the league's players can't get.

My Neighbor Totoro immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people as soon as he came on stage, he not only has the skills of an NBA star, but also has the appearance of a Hollywood star, the figure of a basketball player and the appearance of the peak suddenly attracted countless eyes, and countless New York Knicks fans sitting in the audience also formed a group to shout the slogan of letting Totoro come back, they all wore their own Knicks jerseys printed with Totoro's name and number, because last year at this time, it was they who selected Totoro, and then traded it out themselves.

My Neighbor Totoro politely waved at the Knicks fans, he actually didn't hate joining the New York Knicks in his heart last year, but this kind of thing is not up to the fans to decide with him, and now that he has achieved such great success with the Rockets, he is not ready to change anywhere at this time.

The heart hanging in the heart of the rookie waiting in the audience instantly hung to his throat, especially Gibson from the University of Southern California, he and Totoro were still college comrades last year, at that time Totoro was a freshman, and he was already a veteran who had been fighting in the NCAA for three consecutive years, as the president of the USC basketball team, it may also be the difference between black and white, he also trained Totoro a lot, and complained about Totoro when he lost NCAA last year, But now it's only been a year, and time has changed, and he's the hottest superstar in the league, and he's just a last-minute show that no one picked in the seventeenth round.

My Neighbor Totoro handed over the list to David Stern, this old man smiled at himself, he had seen this old man for the second time in two months, and the last O'Brien Cup was also handed over to him by David Stern himself, Totoro always felt that this old man seemed to have a special impression of himself, which made Totoro feel cold, he was not a rabbit.

David Stern flipped through the list, then cleared his throat and read.

"The Houston Rockets' draft pick in the 17th round was a draft pick from the University of Southern California. Gibson! ”
