"Zhuang, who do you say will be the champion this year?"

When David Stern announced the start of the draft, Danny Anji on Zhuang Fei's side asked Zhuang Fei with a smile, and after hearing Danny Anji's words, Zhuang Fei said a name without any hesitation.

Jay Williams

And when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Danny Anji was also stunned, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei's answer is a little unexpected, in fact, for this year's champion who has always been the biggest guess in the recent draft, Williams is the best among these rookies this year, there is no doubt about it, it can be said that in this draft year he is one of the few players who can finish in the top five in the draft, for such players The 13 lotto teams in the league except for the Rockets, Any team that gets the champion pick will not hesitate to choose him, but now the Rockets have a similar style Francis, and the demand for this young guard is not great, and the champion pick in this case has also produced a lot of waves, which can be said to be an opportunity. Therefore, it seems that this year's champion is likely to be Williamson's teammate Dunleavy Jr. or the European interior Skitishvili, known as Novitsky Jr., especially after Nowitzki's performance has become better and better in recent years and Gasol's success last year, it is a lot of public opinion support for the Georgian insider, in addition to these two, high school player Stoudemire also has a certain competitiveness.

And in Danny Angie's heart, he is more optimistic about Dunleavy Jr. The player who was compared to Grant Hill by the veteran K coach in college was only stunned for a moment by the Celtic deputy general manager. David Stern's words also made the deputy general manager only shake his head.

"The Houston Rockets selected a super-point guard from Duke with the No. 1 pick, Jay Williams," David Stern said with a smile as he said it. After a moment of silence, the scene also resounded with warm applause, and Williams, who was sitting in the small green room, was a little confused by the rocket's choice, obviously he himself was a little surprised by the rocket's choice, and he may not be ready to become the champion in his heart, so the first college student who was beautiful in college is now a little overwhelmed, and he is also a little confused when he takes the stage. When he said his acceptance speech, his voice was also trembling.

And Zhuang Fei, who watched all this off the court, kept smiling, he could fully understand the performance of this player, this was almost a lost and regained champion sign, and at the same time, Zhuang Fei could also understand the choice of the rocket. Among these rookies, only this Williams can have the ability to become a super player, whether they have another player of this style in the team, even if there is, they can play double backcourt, if the effect of double backcourt is not good, he or Francis can also be traded, the trade value of these two people is definitely the top in the league, the current league is not only a good inside, but also lacks a good point guard, not all teams play no point guard tactics like Zhuang Fei. In this case, there is no doubt about the best player to be selected. This choice of the rocket management is also wise, at least for now.

The Rockets picked the best player of the year. In the second pick, this year's Nuggets chose the Georgian interior Nikloz, who is known as Novitsky Jr. Skitishvili, the interior is only 19 years old this year, both in terms of age and in terms of development value and potential, and more importantly, the Nuggets' inspection of this player did not start in the draft, but began last year, it can be said that even if the Nuggets get the top pick this year, they will choose this young European insider, which is a player they have been staring at for a long time and looking forward to for a long time, and he has also become the highest ranking among European players after Gasol. It can be said that after the success of Nowitzki and Gasol, the NBA's trust in European players is improving, especially for the trust of European insiders, just like the success of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming in recent years, the number of scouts sent to China every year has increased. And the Nuggets' gamble is also a challenging one, given that there is a group of homegrown potential players like Dunleavy and Stoudemire behind the European interior liner. However, looking at such a decisive choice by the Nuggets management, I think they are very confident. …,

Compared with the last Williams who came to power, although the European inside line is younger, it is obvious that his performance is better than Williamson's, and his speech is more decent, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Nuggets must have given him some promises in private, so the young inside line can't see the slightest panic after coming to power, and the shouts of some Georgian media in the media box at this time can also make the entire Madison Garden Square look sideways. Perhaps in this country, the young insider will soon become a hero of the country.

The choice of the Rockets and the Nuggets is a bit surprising, but it is also not surprising, but after the selection of these two teams, Zhuang Fei can clearly feel that the face of his former assistant D'Antoni is also a lot more relaxed, it is obvious that the previous two teams did not choose his prey, and Zhuang Fei also looked at him deeply after feeling D'Antoni's changes. Zhuang Fei could feel what his opponent's choice was, and at this time, Zhuang Fei also subconsciously looked at the big black man in the small green room. And at this time, David Stern also announced the choice of the Wizards.

"Washington's No. 3 pick is Amar Stoudemire from Crick High School in Cyprus" David Stern once again showed his smile to everyone, and at this time, when David Stern finished speaking, D'Antoni in the audience also smiled, and Stoudemire in the small green room looked a little depressed, and it seemed that the young interior lineman was very unhappy with his third selection.

In fact, before this year's draft, this 20-year-old high school student. The player who has been to seven different high schools has been telling all the media interviews that he will be the top pick, and this year he did receive an offer to try out with the Rockets. And it seems that the Rockets also gave him some promises during the tryout, just compared to other high school students. This Mr. Stoudemire is a little older, and with his age, he played big and small a lot of the time in high school, which is why the Rockets or the Nuggets and even others look down on him, and in the current NBA, the requirements for an interior are not only physical talent or offensive ability, but also pay attention to defense in the current NBA's requirements for an interior line, just like the reason why Chandler's pick was higher than Corey last year. Obviously, this interior line is much worse in this regard, and judging from these factors, it is not unreasonable that this interior player was only selected by the Sun in the ninth place in his previous life.

And Stoudemire, who still looks like a child who has not grown up, did not disappoint Zhuang Fei in the audience after taking the stage, and the words of this year's No. 3 show on the stage made all the senior executives of NBA teams or all the fans in the stands sluggish for a long time.

"I'm going to win the Rookie of the Year trophy this year. I will let everyone know that I am the best player this year, and I will be the banner of the Wizards" and the young interior lineman stepped down with a cold face after saying this cool-looking sentence, and Zhuang Fei, who came to his senses at this time, also obviously felt that D'Antoni next to him did not have the joy just now, and it seemed that his former assistant was not very satisfied with the player's current performance. Seeing D'Antoni's appearance, Zhuang Fei was also a little looking forward to what kind of things this prickly head would do in the Wizards.

"It looks like Jordan's work is going to be troublesome," Zhuang Fei also glanced at Xiao Si who came down from the stage at this time.

This year's No. 4 draft pick belongs to the New York Knicks, in fact, before the New York Knicks draft, everyone knew who this team would choose, no matter which sign the team gets, Dunleavy Jr. is their only choice, because this is the choice of the new Knicks head coach Dunleavy now. …,

And there is not much dissatisfaction with his fourth selection by the New York Knicks, who has been considered a top-three favorite before the draft, after all, it was his dad who drafted him, and it is clear that he also knows something from his dad. So when this player came to power, his performance was diametrically opposed to that of Stoudemire, and he didn't have Xiao Si's 'domineering' at all.

After the first four drafts, the fifth Memphis Raptors chose an inside Druguden, the ace of the University of Kansas is also an NCAA man, who can play mid-distance and play under the basket on the offensive end, it can be said that the Raptors hope to be able to choose him and Kwame Brown to complement each other, if you can really have a good partner with Kwame Brown, the Raptors in the new season will have the possibility of being eye-catching.

The Chicago Bulls, who played sixth, also chose an interior player, an interior player from Brazil. In recent years, the Chicago Bulls have become obsessed with interior players, whether it is Brand before or Chandler or Corey and now Nenen, this team that was originally led to the top by outside players has actually returned to its roots.

And when the Magic, who played in the seventh place, selected Caron Butler away, Zhuang Fei in the audience also shook his head, for him personally, Butler's rank was indeed too high, and Zhuang Fei was also prepared to lose this player, so when the Magic picked up this player in the seventh place, although it was a little regrettable, there were not too many accidents or losses.

And the Minnesota Timberwolves, who played the eighth game, selected the organizational guard Reednow, who participated in the draft in advance this year, Zhuang Fei was a little helpless, in fact, he didn't necessarily have to win this organizational guard, when he chatted with McHale before, he knew that the target of the Timberwolves this year was this point guard, but what surprised Zhuang Fei was that Mr. Carl and his vision were really similar.

In ninth place the Atlanta Eagles chose Da Juan. Wagner, a guard who thought he had scored 100 points in high school, was selected by the New Jersey Nets for the 10th NCAA championship player Chris Wilcox, the 11th Hornets selected Jared Jeffries, and the 12th Seattle SuperSonics selected Melvin Eli.

After the first twelve teams were selected, it was also Zhuang Fei's turn to choose, and at this time, the small note of the Celtics' selection of players had already reached David Stern's hand.

"The Boston Celtics chose Prince from the University of Kentucky" When David Stern's clear voice announced this choice, all the NBA management in the audience was blindsided again, because after David Stern announced that Zhuang Fei's draft was completed, Prince did not speak on stage at all, because the player did not receive an invitation from the NBA to enter the small green house, the small forward is now watching the draft live broadcast in the hotel, it is obvious that in the eyes of many people, Zhuang Fei's choice is a little poor, It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei's prestige in terms of young players is not much ridicule here, but it is just a surprise, except for two of them, and now when Vicky's eyes look at Zhuang Fei, he can almost burst into flames, and the Jazz head coach on the other side Sloan is the same, because he is also ready to use his No. 14 to pick Prince, but at this time all of them were preempted by Zhuang Fei. At this time, after winning Prince, Zhuang Fei was looking at the next draft with a smile on his face.

Sloan, who lost Prince, eventually drafted Ryan at No. 14. Lovelfree, while Vic, who also lost Prince, chose John Salmons with the nineteenth pick. What surprised Zhuang Fei was that the Cavaliers chose Carlos Boozer, an interior player who was previously favored by the Celtics, with the eighteenth pick, while Zhuang Fei chose Haslem, an interior player from the University of Florida, with his 23rd pick. With the Spurs' 52nd pick at the end of the draft, Spurs selected Scola from Argentina, and Zhuang Fei selected Matt Barnes with the 57th pick, a player who didn't seem to be favored by any team in this year's draft.

So far, the 2002 NBA draft has also come to an end in New York. And Zhuang Fei was relatively satisfied with the selection of the player he wanted. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
