Chapter 004: Draft Meeting

The 2009 N**A Audition was held on June 28 in the theater of Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA. The draft was broadcast live to 203 countries and regions around the world via ESPN in the United States.

A total of 103 players entered this year's draft, including 74 players from the United States and 29 players from other countries. In the end, 55 players felt that the draft market was not good after the tryout, and withdrew from the draft at 17 o'clock on June 19, Yanjing time.

For the Great Celestial Empire, this is an uninteresting draft, and the absence of Chinese participation is only one of the reasons, and the other more important reason is because before the start of the conference, the Lakers have made it clear that they have no intention of renewing Sun Yue's contract.

In other words, Sun Dasheng, the important water cooler keeper and one of the excellent mascots of this year's championship team Purple and Gold, is likely to be no longer in the limelight next season, and if nothing else, Yanjing Aoshen will be his last belonging.

Of course, Sun Dasheng is just the most inconspicuous pawn in the countless bombshell news on the eve of the draft, compared to the question of a Chinese player's ownership next season, N**A has happened too many big events overnight that are more worthy of attention.

First up was the Orlando Magic, who had just lost in the Finals, and the Big Apple's magical performance in the final quarter broke their hearts, and a couple of stupid mistakes at the last minute made the Magic uniforms finally decide that it was time to make a change.

Orlando will trade Ralph Alstom, Tony Barty and Kunis Lee for Nets star Vince Carter plus '08 rookie Ryan Anderson.

Known as the most tragic Mr. in the finals, the street ball king was reduced to a bargaining chip, and Kunis Lee, who was toyed with by the Big Apple throughout the series, also could not escape the fate of being traded, and as for the rest of Tony Barty, this is just an addition. Although the deal has not yet been officially declared to the Alliance, the parties to the transaction have agreed in principle.

If the trade goes through and the Magic succeed in retaining Turkoglou, Orlando will have a super-luxury starting five consisting of Dwight Howard, Rashad Lewis, Hedott Koglou, Vince Carter and Jamal Nelson, all of whom have been selected to the All-Star team.

This will undoubtedly make them more competitive in the Eastern Conference. At the same time, it has also become a terrifying division with the ability of the players from the number one to the third position. For Li Chen, who is about to become a member of the Eastern League, the reinforcement of the Magic is not good news.

Another big trade came from the Cavaliers of the Little Emperor, who lost to the Magic in the playoffs not long ago because of the lack of interior strength. Although there is a Big Ben, but now the strength of Big Ben is not as good as before, especially his offense is still the same bad, the little emperor urgently needs an inner line that can be a deterrent to share the pressure for himself, they have a crush on the shark.

ESPN broke the news this morning with an explosive surname. The Suns and the Cavaliers have officially reached an agreement, and O'Neal will join the Cavaliers!

According to specific information from the league, the chip proposed by the Cavaliers is Big Benga Pavlovic as previously analyzed by the media, and the Cavaliers also took out the 46th pick in the second round and $500,000 in cash. For the sake of the big shark, the knight can be said to have invested a lot of money.

"Shark Emperor Combination" makes people see the Cavaliers' hope of winning the championship again, after all, O'Neal's championship crash course has been running well, I believe that with his assistance, the little emperor will definitely be able to take a more solid step towards his dream. Of course, for Li Chen, the shark's second trip to the east is also not good news.

The limelight of the two giants in the East almost overshadowed the upcoming draft for a while, and people exclaimed that the three-legged pattern of the Eastern Conference will be more obvious. The Celtics, Cavaliers, and Magic are bound to compete even more fiercely next season.

As for the Knicks, people actively ignore the fact that even though fans have repeatedly emphasized that anything is possible with a team with the Big Apple, people prefer to dismiss this as wishful thinking on the part of some die-hard fans.

Whether the Knicks can make the playoffs next season is still a question, as for the championship, it's better to wash and sleep early, what can the big apple do, what the little emperor can't do, he can't do it.

The draft began as scheduled, the general managers of the 14 teams that entered the lotto area were seated, and the future of those rookies in the small green house was in the hands of these guys, only the rookies who entered the lotto area, the media would give some attention, and as for the rest, who cares about it, they will not waste film anyway.

David Stern, president of the league, once again took the microphone, for the annual event of the draft, **OSS has always firmly held the position of host in his own hands, and the ownership of the little green house will be told to the world through his mouth.

**Oss shook his glasses, he was confirming what he was seeing, and after a while, he raised his head, and the champion of '09 was about to be revealed.

"The Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 1 pick, they selected a rookie from the University of Oklahoma - Blake Griffin!"

Li Chen in front of the TV nodded, sure enough, history will not change much, and the Clippers finally chose one of the two typical characters in the Celestial Empire, one of the two typical characters with disabilities and strong will, and the flying man who was reimbursed throughout the rookie season to give Lifen.

As for who the other is, there is no doubt that it is Kobe, people always say how inconspicuous the great god's talent is, and his achievements are completely dependent on his own efforts. But they completely ignore the fact that if the great god has no talent, then why should he be worth the Hornets to pay for him a lottery, especially in that era when high school players were not welcomed.

Now, of course, we're talking about the Clippers' future interior pillar, Paul's good helper, and Griffin, a slightly weird-looking new team with a little bit of bad luck. With a height of 2.06 meters and a weight of 109 kilograms, he plays as a power forward and is a sophomore at the University of Oklahoma.

Griffin's best template is the legendary all-time striker Karl Malone, whose greatest strength is his physical fitness, but also his incredible strength, and his weight of 109 kilograms made him difficult to find in college.

In addition, Griffin's ball sense is also quite good, with skillful dribbling and one-handed jump hook skills, and his mid-range jump shooting ability has also been strengthened to a considerable extent. It is worth mentioning that Champion is also a rather humble player, without any superstar shelf.

At 2.06 meters tall, he can still be as flexible as a player around 2 meters, and his defensive skills are quite solid. If it can develop smoothly in the future, he can even become one of the top ten members of the alliance. After all, he doesn't have many shortcomings, in addition to his lack of shooting percentage, the only thing Griffin deserves to take seriously is his defense, and he needs to learn how to be a leader who can be more contagious to his teammates.

Li Chen doesn't care about the future of Champion Lang, even if his most likely result is season reimbursement, but a prescient god doesn't feel the need to remind the Clippers, all he cares about is whether the Knicks can choose the player he wants.

Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies used their valuable list pick to pick Hasim Tabit, who is on a par with the famous parallel trader Auden the Great. Who would have thought that such a very good player would not be able to adapt to the rhythm of the n**a game at all!

With his looks, height, smile, and the back of Mutombo, Tabit, who was born in Tanzania, is regarded by the league's professional scouts as the best successor to Uncle Mu. Of course, this doesn't blame the scouts for being blind, after all, from the All-Star Great East Team to the league's best defensive player, Tabit's block has always shone brightly.

Especially like Uncle Mu, before entering college, Tabitt's systematic basketball training can almost be ignored, he belongs to the kind of player who has great potential and potential can be continuously developed, and the Grizzlies chose him, which can only be said to be their bad luck.

The choice of Tanhua is in the hands of the Thunder, even with Durant and Gavis Brook, but the Thunder still can't get rid of the shadow of the lotto area, they still need to grow, of course, this also means that they have more opportunities.

Think about the Kings, who finally got a perfect record from the bottom of the league, but they received a consolation prize from the league, and they were assigned to the No. 4 pick, which can be described as the most tragic team in the 08-09 season, and there is no one.

The Thunder's choice still did not violate Li Chen's memory, and James Harden of Arizona State University was awarded the new science scout, the bearded man who is now expected to catch up with Kobe Bryant's status as an iron god, and his addition completely announced the rise of the Thunder.

Despite his strange appearance, Harden is the best scoring guard in this rookie class, with a beard at the N**A No. 2 height and an innate ability that surpasses most interior players. He likes to make it in and out of multi-player situations, enjoying the scoring that comes his way, and he averaged 19 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in his two seasons in the NCAA, shooting more than 50 percent from the field.

The bearded defender is also useful, and he is a perfect choice for teams that need to improve their immediate strength. However, Harden's overall performance in this year's NCAA Championship has been quite poor, with his points per game averaging dropping from more than 20 points to less than 10 points per game, and shooting only 16% from the field in two games, which casts a shadow over his future.

Thunder finally chose to believe in this bearded man with a surname, and it is very happy that the template of the bearded man is also a beard, and the former queen bee Byron Davis said that he is very optimistic about this little guy who imitates himself.

With the addition of Harden, the overall strength of the Thunder is expected to be further improved, and they also form a four-star model of Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Harden and Westbrook, and the Thunder will be a team with considerable ability to stir up trouble in the West next season.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Chen, who has withdrawn from the West, if the Thunder wants to affect the East, they have to play to the Finals, and similarly, the premise for the Knicks to despise the West is to win the Eastern Conference championship first.

The results of the next draft are exactly the same as Dolan's previous predictions, and the old guy who has been in the league for many years has extremely well-informed channels, and he can be described as painstakingly trying to select the players he wants.

The Kings, the tragic team of the year, broke the biggest upset in the draft, and instead of the much-anticipated Spanish golden boy Riquirubio, they unexpectedly selected Tyrek Evans of the University of Memphis. Maybe it's not Jitai who knows that the king with a No. 4 pick stumbled to pick a rookie of the best next season!

The only possible threat to the Knicks is that the Timberwolves finally accepted Rubio, who the Kings don't want, and although the Spanish golden boy will not be able to log in to N**A until 2011, the truth will be given, and the Timberwolves' No. 5 pick is not a loss.

For this high-profile international player, ESPN conducted a brief interview, "Who do you play more like?" ”

The golden boy's resounding reply made him instantly the pride of Spain, "Rubio is Rubio, if I had to say who I look like, I would say I am a bit like Steve Nash." In people's eyes, this handsome and confident guy is really similar to the big apple that is now missing, of course, Li Chen will not agree with this.

"I am who I am, don't compare me to anyone, I hate it, if you have to do that, please compare them to me!" This kind of remarks full of surnames are regarded as the best aphorisms of idols by fruit fans.

After a long wait, David Stern finally gave the Knicks options.

"The New York Knicks, who have the No. 6 pick, they chose Stephen Curry from Davis University!"

Some rejoiced and some cried, Dolan laughed, but old Nelson almost cried!

“**! Who said they were going to pick the inside line! Jordan Hill? I don't want that freak! (To be continued.) )
