At the beginning of June, the Knicks began to try out rookies, D'Antoni after a terrible season, the desire for excellent point guards in his heart was even stronger, the Knicks tried out Curry, Rubio, Lawson and other lottery prospects for the No. 1 spot, but it was Wu Huang's turn to visit the Knicks, and they gave different treatment.

Wu Huang himself is stupid, he only arrived in New York on June 6, and he was the last batch of players to participate in the trial, but the Knicks only visited him and did not train, but he was a double reception from the manager and coach, and he was entertained with good food and drink for two days, so he was almost taken to do big health care.

"I'm sure we're going to pick the best players in this rookie class." Knicks General Manager Donnie. Walsh said pointedly.

Many media outlets have reported that the Knicks have actually done it more thoroughly, as early as after they drew the No. 1 pick. Walsh contacted Emperor Wu in an attempt to bring the two sides closer.

The New York Times has revealed that Downey. Walsh invited Wu Huang to dinner several times and watch the Eastern Conference Finals together, but Wu declined the invitation to watch the game because of his trip to China.

Downey. Walsh said in an interview: "I've seen the footage of his fight, and Mike and I are still watching it, and he's very athletic, he's very athletic, he's very good and he's fast. He's got more shots and passes than we could have imagined, and he's still getting better and never getting complacent. Mike thinks he's a much more mature player than he really is, and even if he hasn't played a game in the NBA, I think he's going to adapt to the NBA very quickly and get stronger and better. ”

Knicks management now looks at Wu Huang like SuperSonics general manager Plesty looked at Durant back then. Eyes blazing. There is only one thought in their minds - "He is ours." No one wants to snatch it! ”

If he could just run and jump, Emperor Wu would not be able to reach this height.

In their analysis of the lotto show, Sports Illustrated focused on the prospective champion, who believed that Wu Huang was extremely fast in possession of the ball, with a small amplitude, and often changed direction and speed, often causing defenders to lose their balance. This also allows him to attack the rim at any time and to complete the offense with dexterity. Even when blocked by a big man, he can show a drifting shot that is improving.

In terms of shooting, Wu Huang's long-distance jumper belongs to the historical level in the NCAA, he is a real genius pitcher, with beautiful hands, soft touches, very coherent movements, no need to spend time adjusting, you can shoot with your hands raised, and the shooting rate is very high. The range is also as long as the NBA's three-point line.

Defensively, Wu Huang's defensive awareness and positional sense are good. The soles of his feet are very steady, and his arms are open to defend two positions in the backcourt. He is also very good at rebounding, averaging 6-7 rebounds per game this season, and it's hard to imagine that there is a correlation between that number and his height. In addition, Wu Huang's steals and blocks are also excellent, averaging 2 blocks per game and more than 1 block, he is a true genius who is all-round in all aspects.

Charles. Barkley once said of Wu Huang: "He can change the trend of the whole game, shoot countless three-pointers, assist teammates, dribble directly to the basket, grab one rebound after another that is difficult to grab, and cut off the opponent's basketball again and again, this is the value of Hugo, he has all kinds of offensive means to break through the opponent's defense." ”

As the NBA draft approaches, the agents and predators in the league have stepped out and begun to use the power of the media to stir up the situation, raise the value of their players, and seek their own benefits.

Brandon doesn't need to do this, even if these predators fry their players in full swing, they can't snatch the champion throne that belongs to Wu Huang, because the Knicks only have Wu Huang in their eyes now, and the others in the trial are just going through the motions, if they really have brain cramps, and Wu Huang is not selected in the draft, the head coach of the Clippers Dunleavy Sr. may wake up in the middle of the night laughing.

The 2009 draft is approaching, and all teams are facing the final decision, which is the case with the Knicks, but they are not worried about who to pick, the Knicks are now going to start trading around Wu Huang to have some suitable helpers for him, but this season is not very easy to operate.

No one expects the Knicks to produce results this year, but they should build a system around Wu Huang, even if it's just a prototype, so trade rumors have been rampant for the Knicks, as if anyone could leave.

Of course, the Knicks have always wanted to sell Curry, Jeffries, and Hughes. But like David. With a player like Lee, the Knicks naturally don't want to let go, but it's a pity that David. Li Zheng's contract expires, and the Knicks certainly want to stay, but people may not want to leave.

After July 1st, David. Lee was able to negotiate contracts with other teams, "There have been quite a few teams who have expressed interest to me. "David. "I'm very confident that I'm not going to lose my job, and now I'm most concerned about how much interest they have in me and what the Knicks are going to do," Lee said. ”

It has been revealed that the Portland Trail Blazers are pursuing David. Lee's most fanatical team, plus the Pistons also have plenty of salary space to sign him. But David. Lee did not comment on the teams. If the Trail Blazers want to get David. Lee, based on their current salary situation, Portland must adopt a sign-and-trade approach.

According to David. Lee is averaging 16 points and 11.7 rebounds per game this season, and it is not difficult to get a contract of 700 to 10 million, although the Knicks can offer him such a contract, but New York's poor record over the years is the ultimate reason for David Lee's hard decision.

"I know the Knicks want me to stay, and they know I want to stay, but now I'm going to see who they end up picking in the draft, and it's not just about the team's record next season, it's going to affect the team's strength in 2010." David. Li Yan has a lot of meanings, and some of them have the mentality of treating themselves as the boss, which is not good.

On June 10, "Yahoo Sports" reported: Yesterday, the Knicks, who won the top pick, have invited Hugo to participate in the final closed trial, this time the trial is not open to the public, only a few players participated, but the lottery show only Hugo one. At the moment, it seems that they have decided to use the No. 1 pick to select the star point guard from USC.

There is also a message outflow. Fagan, Tabit's broker, has issued a warning to the Grizzlies. It is not allowed to choose Wu Huang or other defenders. However, for the Grizzlies, Mayo already occupies half of the team's possession, and the arrival of a guard will only lead to a duplication of the team's construction, so it seems that it may be more ideal to choose Griffin or Tabit.

On June 15, according to the "Sacramento Bee" newspaper, Rubio's delegation to the United States had dinner with the general manager of the king, Petroux, and the two sides talked very happily. The Kings are currently in a rebuilding phase and need a backcourt soul who can control the ball and control the big picture, and it is clear that Uduri is not up to the task, so Rubio, who has more potential, has become the most important member of the team's construction puzzle.

On June 20, Wu Huang came to New York with his parents and agent Brandon to participate in the selection show five days later, and by the way, he was looking for a new home in New York.

Wu Huang has previously contacted several real estate agents, and he plans to buy an apartment in New York in the near future, and in the future, he will live in the city for a long time, and at least buy a three-bedroom apartment of more than 200 square meters. So that his parents would not appear crowded when they came.

Taylor. Swift was unhappy about this, and the last thing she wanted the Knicks to do right now was to draft Emperor Wu. Christine is the opposite. She also wanted Wu Huang to stay in her apartment in New York temporarily, but of course this was impossible, although Wu Huang spent the night there very frequently.

Generally speaking, the annual NBA Draft is a time when trades are common, and teams tend to set off a first-round trade wave at this time, and many operations, including draft picks, will appear.

Based on the current rumors, multiple teams are interested in trading for more draft picks, or trading up for higher picks.

For example, the Timberwolves are willing to package two first-round picks together in exchange for a top-3 pick, preferably the top pick. They are Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, but the Timberwolves think too beautifully, and a fool will trade with them like this.

The Mavericks have always been selling player + draft pick schemes, but Dampier is the kind of guy who only a fool would want. Other teams like the Rockets, Suns, and others are looking to move up the ...... It is believed that there will be a fair number of trades in the draft.

When it comes to the draft, we can't fail to mention the "little green house", which is also the most alternative focus of the NBA draft every year. Every year, the league invites a number of promising rookies to the draft convention, the so-called "Little Green House" members, which are generally voted on by the general manager of the NBA team and ultimately decided by the league's vice president.

Every year in the draft, there are generally about 15 people selected, and these players who enter the small green house can be accompanied by relatives and friends at the draft site. This year's list of invitees is not as many as in previous years, with the initial list of invitees including: Wu Huang, Griffin, Tabitt, Rubio, Harden, Evans, Curry, Jennings, Hill, Flynn, DeRozan, Terrence and Hansbrough, who are among the most likely to be drafted in the lottery.

The longest stay in the NBA history was Clippers center Jordan Jr., the unlucky guy who sat in the second round of the 2008 draft before being selected with the 35th pick.

It is worth mentioning that the NBA draft has left a lot of stories belonging to Chinese players, from Song Tao was first selected by the Hawks in 1987, to Yao Ming becoming the champion, and then to Yi Jianlian personally going to the draft site, Chinese players have obtained the opportunity to step on the highest level of basketball league through their own efforts, although they have left some regrets, but the struggle has never stopped.

This time, although Wu Huang did not participate in the draft as a Chinese national, he is likely to become the second Chinese champion in NBA history, which can also greatly boost the morale and self-confidence of Chinese fans, because it will prove that as long as they are properly trained, Chinese physique is fully capable of overriding the black and white race.

It's no secret that Wu Huang will be the top pick in this year's draft, just like James, Yao Ming and Howard at the beginning, at this time most experts believe that Wu Huang, who has a handsome appearance and leadership temperament, has already won the top prize, and the others can only compete for the position of Tanhua and the leader.

For example, Griffin, Tabit and Rubio, three rookies with great potential, are very likely to be this year's top pick or prospective show, but they are unlikely to be the top pick.

Don't underestimate Bangyan and Tanhua, the competition for these two positions is not small, and recently in the eyes of some American experts, Jennings, who has more outstanding speed and bounce, has more potential than Rubio, and he is the best No. 1 position this year except for Wu Huang.

On June 24, on the eve of the 2009 draft, the Memphis media claimed that the Grizzlies had turned their attention to Hashem, who was only six years old, because Rubio decided the Grizzlies didn't fit their style. Tabit does not rule out the possibility of the team trading draft picks.

At the same time, experts from ESPN and Sports Illustrated also believe that the strength of this rookie central defender is relatively average, and if you exclude the quasi-champion Wu Huang, Rubio has no absolute advantage over others, and there are even many players whose potential is not under the European golden boy.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows at this time that someone with a heart has begun to use the media to drag Rubio's draft pick back.

ESPN reports: On this year's point guard line, Rubio's competitors include: the 191cm tall pauper version of Wu Huang, and the two-way guard Stephen. Curry, 180cm tall Jonny. Flynn, a 195cm tall two-way guard Terrick. Evans and Brandon, who is 180cm tall. Jennings.

Among them, 19-year-old Jennings is Rubio's biggest rival. The clash between the two in Barcelona last December attracted scouts from all over the world, and judging from that game alone, Jennings and Rubio both showed great talent and potential.

Both are point guards, are about the same age, are in the same formative stage, and chose to participate in the same draft in the same year, so it's natural for people to compare them.

Rubio is a "pure point guard" with excellent passing and defensive awareness, a leader and considerable experience in European professional basketball. Jennings, on the other hand, is a talented player who can score, pass, have physical flexibility and bounce ability. Rubio had an impressive performance at the Olympics, while Jennings was the first high school student to play in a European professional league.

At this stage, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the potential of the two. But after a season or two, Jennings should be better in every aspect of coaching, playing opportunities and improvement equally. That's not to say Rubio won't be successful, it's just that Jennings, who is more physically fit, has more potential.

"He's a hyped player." Speaking to the media, Jennings was unabashed, saying that he would not be part of the Rubio Fan Club at any time.

Also as a point guard, Jennings may not be unanimously recognized for his qualities, and he is eager to prove himself through the game, "He played basketball at the Beijing Olympics, he started playing basketball when he was 14 years old, I can't wait to play against him, and in the Summer League, I can't wait, and you'll know by then." ”

Jennings is more determined than Rubio, who has been "traveling" the Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma, Sacramento and New York Knicks, and has always wavered about where to go, and the rookie is currently trying out for the Kings, and the tryout is going very well.

"I think I'm a better player than Rubio." Jennings said after the Kings tryout not long ago, "I'm shooting better than him, and if he tries out with me and Hugo today, he's definitely not the best one." He said there are a lot of young players who are better than the Spaniard.

"So, who do you think will win against Hugo?" Journalists are most fond of such provocations.

However, Jennings was clearly prepared for this, shaking his head: "I don't think I'm worse than anybody, but I haven't played against Hugo, but I've seen the NCAA championship fight, and Hugo is clearly better than Rubio." So, if Hugo has a higher draft pick than me, I think that's normal because he's proven himself on that stage. Jennings obviously planned to step on Rubio while wooing Emperor Wu to hype himself, and I don't know who gave him the idea. (To be continued.) )
