Chapter VII 60th Round

The Trail Blazers first traded No. 4 rookie Thomas and second-year freshman Kojapa to the Bulls for Aldridge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 For the Trail Blazers, the trade didn't stop there, and they sent two of their biggest men---- Telfa, Ratrief, and a second-round pick from 2008 to the Celtics, who traded back this year's No. 7 pick---- Randy Foye, as well as Lafrentz, Decow, and some cash.

Things got complicated enough at this point, but it wasn't over yet, as the Trail Blazers immediately traded to the Timberwolves for Rookie Brand-Roy, a Washington-based guard who was picked by the Timberwolves with the sixth pick.

The draft continues, next.

The Rockets drafted Rudy Gay with the No. 8 pick, and immediately used Gay plus Swift, the team's main power forward, to trade with the Grizzlies for a defensive stalwart and Battier who plays as a small forward.

The Suns then drafted Rondo with the 21st pick and then traded him to the Celtics for a 2007 draft pick.

……

Soon, the first round of the draft was over.

It has to be said that in this large-scale trade, the Trail Blazers are definitely the biggest winners, and they get Aldridge and Roy at the same time, two potential superstars.

However, all of this is not the focus of Zhang Chu's concern, there is only one thing he cares about, that is, will there be any team that will choose him today? The Rockets, Spurs, and Pistons, only these three teams have this possibility, and the other teams have not even been in contact with themselves, so it is impossible to choose.

The most likely is the Rockets, and the Rockets' second-round draft pick is No. 32, which is coming soon, and the hearts of fat people, monkeys and others are about to be put in their throats......

"That's it! Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of the draft is now open! The host of the draft site announced.

"With the 31st pick, the Trail Blazers chose James White!"

"With the 31st pick, the Rockets selected Steve Novak!"

What the? The Rockets, like history, chose Novak? Zhang Chu felt his heart sink suddenly, this is the last draft pick of the Rockets, and his biggest hope is the Rockets.

The fat man, the monkey, Liu Qingxue and others were also silent, as the draft progressed, the hope became more and more slim, and they didn't know how to comfort Zhang Chu.

……

Soon, with the host's broadcast, it was time for the last few drafts.

"With the 58th pick, the Dallas Mavericks chose Danilo Pinlock!"

"With the 59th pick, the San Antonio Spurs chose Damir Markota!"

……

There was only one last spot left in the draft, and Zhang Chu exhaled a long breath, he was really unwilling. Although, indeed, with his current comprehensive strength of 50, he can't reach the level of the NBA bench at all, but it is only June, and the regular season will not start until November, and there is still nearly half a year to go, Zhang Chu believes that with his current strength and progress rate, he can definitely reach more than 60, or even 70.

In this year's 2006 draft, there are no perverted newcomers with amazing talents, Zhang Chu remembers very well that in the NBALIVE2006, the comprehensive strength of champion Bagnani is only 74, Aldridge is 71, Guy is only 70, and Roy is 72...... None of the rookies had an overall strength of more than 75.

By November, if his overall strength reaches 70 unexpectedly, he is definitely capable of playing in the NBA, and if the development goes well, he even has a chance to compete for the best rookie in the 06-07 season.

……

The last spot is up.

"With the sixtieth pick, the Detroit Pistons chose Chu Zhang from China!"

What the? The Pistons? Checked?

The fat man, monkey and others on the other side of the ocean jumped up excitedly and hugged Zhang Chu tightly: "Boss, you have been chosen, chosen!! The two of them were excited and had some tears streaming down their faces.

What's going on, how did the Pistons draft me?

Soon, another piece of news came, answering Zhang Chu's doubts.

At the draft scene, the host announced that another trade had happened: "The Rockets traded backup small forward Ryan Bowen for the rookie Zhang Chu that the Pistons just got!" ”

Obviously, this deal must have been negotiated in advance, and the Rockets want to get Zhang Chu, but they don't want to use the 32nd pick to select him, which feels a bit too wasteful. So, a trade was made with the Pistons, and as long as the Pistons selected Zhang Chu with the 60th pick, the Rockets traded their backup small forward Ryan Bowen in exchange.

Obviously, Morey, who attended this draft as a representative of the Rockets, was right, Zhang Chu was really unpopular in this draft, even if he was selected with the last pick, he didn't have to worry about someone cutting off his beard in front of him.

At the same time, Morey made the right bet, and with the development of history, it will eventually prove that the selection of Zhang Chu in 2006 is the most correct choice of Morey's club career, and it is also a great draft in the entire NBA history. At the same time, the 60th pick in the second round has become the best value for money in history.

The 2006 NBA draft came to an end, and on the other side of the ocean, some NBA fans in China who were following the draft process seemed to have blown up.

"What's going on, Zhang Chu? Does that sound like a Chinese name? Netizen A asked.

Some portal networks such as Tencent and Sina have provided online text live broadcasts, which will boil in the chat room of the live broadcast room.

"Yes, listening to this name, it seems to be Chinese." Netizen B replied.

"It's Chinese, I'm a student of the English department, just now I looked at the text profile of the United States, it's from China!" Netizen C, who claims to learn English and can understand English, said definitely.

……

Netizens stayed in the live broadcast room and discussed enthusiastically, while Tencent, Sina and other editors who provided text live broadcasts also gave full play to their keen sense of smell and quick response. Soon, a news report titled "Zhang Chu, a college student at Huayang University in China, was selected by Team Rockets", appeared on major portals.

In the report, it was briefly introduced that Zhang Chu is from the Huayang University basketball team, who is the overall champion of this year's CUBA, and won the titles of Most Valuable Player, Best Defensive Award and Rookie King of the Year.

……

As China's largest professional sports and basketball newspaper, Wang Shan, the editor-in-chief of Basketball World, is calling Ma Fei, a reporter stationed in Houston.

"Hey, Ma Fei?" Wang Shan, a senior media person who has been engaged in basketball reporting for most of his life, has a little dissatisfaction in his tone at the moment. As a large newspaper, Wang Shan specially arranged for a reporter to be stationed in the United States for many years, just to get the latest and fastest NBA news as soon as possible.

And this young reporter named Ma Fei is a rookie reporter who has just stepped into this trip, and he has won the respect of editor-in-chief Wang Shan, and specially arranged for him to be stationed in the United States as a special reporter. He also did a pretty good job before, almost guarding Yao Ming in Houston. After all, in the NBA, the Chinese are most concerned about the national idol Yao Ming.
