"The first pick belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers, and they have five minutes to think about it."

Stern announced the ownership of the first pick.

These five minutes should be the fastest five minutes.

Because almost the whole world knows that the Clippers are going to take Griffin.

In fact, it did, and after a period of waiting, Stern returned to the stage and announced the ownership of the top pick.

"In 2009, the first pick in the first round of the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Blake Griffin, a 2.08-meter power forward from the University of Oklahoma."

Griffin's table was in the center of the stage, and he was ready, smiling and getting up after Stern's reading, hugging the people around him, and then taking the hat handed by the staff and walking briskly onto the stage.

Everyone in the audience applauded him.

This is a well-deserved title.

Xu Yong looked at Griffin, who shook hands with Stern on the stage and took a photo, and couldn't help but recall the scene when the two teams played each other last year.

At that time, Griffin was impulsive and reckless, but now the draft has been labeled as mature.

In the past year, he has not only improved.

In the field of basketball, standing still is equivalent to regression, and even if you enter the NBA, you can't relax.

"The second pick belongs to the Memphis Grizzlies, and they have five minutes to think about it."

Stern followed suit by announcing the ownership of the pick.

Although there were rumors that the Grizzlies wanted to trade the No. 1 sign, it seems that they did not succeed in the end.

Xu Yong also retracted his gaze at this time.

If there is no trade, the Grizzlies will most likely still pick Tabit.

In this era when big men are king, choosing the inside line can always be so unthinking.

As for himself, he can just wait for the Kings to pick him as the No. 4 pick.

Just then, Schwartz arrived at the Little Green House.

Agents are the ones who are really busy on draft night compared to the players, and they are constantly in contact with the management who is interested in them.

"The latest news, the Suns are 'out.'" Schwartz sat down and spoke.

Xu Yong looked at Schwartz suspiciously.

"The Wizards traded the No. 5 pick to another team, and they didn't get the Timberwolves' No. 6 pick, and while they're still trying to trade other picks, there's little hope." Schwartz's access to top broker sources is still accurate.

Xu Yong nodded when he heard this.

Although it is different from what Kerr said at the beginning, the Suns lineup is basically full of veterans, and the chips that can be used should be Robin Lopez selected last year and this year's No. 14 pick, but the data of Lopez's rookie season 3+2 has not yet been played, and if the Wizards receive a better offer, it is normal to regret it.

And if he's not mistaken, the Wizards sent the No. 5 pick to the Timberwolves in exchange for Randy Foye and Mike Miller, and along the way, cleaned up a couple of junk contracts.

Just then, Stern walked out for the second time.

"The 2009 NBA first round with the second pick, the Memphis Grizzlies selected ...... Xu Yong, a 2.03m small forward, from China! ”

Stern was also stunned for a moment, and only after seeing it clearly did he announce in an aggravated tone.

“……”

“？？”

"Huh?"

When Stern announced the result, there was an inexplicable silence among the fans.

The players in the small green room also began to have question marks on their heads, especially Tabit, who was ready to get up, showed O'Neal's question mark face.

Xu Yong also raised his head when he heard his name, and then he was a little caught off guard.

The Grizzlies drafted him?

He's a role model?

What's the situation?

Schwartz was also stunned.

Because the Grizzlies have never sent Xu Yong an invitation to try out, and all the channels he knows have no news that the Grizzlies will choose Xu Yong.

It's really an accident to open the door unexpectedly and get home unexpectedly.

But before he could react, Xu Yong had already stood up.

He smiled and hugged his parents, then bumped fists with Cai Xiao, who was flushed, and finally took the grizzly bear hat handed over by the staff, and walked towards the stage with a calm expression.

Schwartz turned around at this time, looking at Xu Yong's reaction, inexplicably a little distracted.

He couldn't guess what Xu Yong's mood was at the moment, should he be excited to become a role model? You know, this is a good example!

Or should you be disappointed that you didn't go where you want to go? You must know that Memphis is more "rookie grave" than the Kings.

But what he could see was that Xu Yong's situation was not surprised.

Is this really a guy who has just turned twenty?

Xu Yong's position is very close to the stage, and he basically takes three or two steps to the stage.

When he came to the stage, the originally quiet scene suddenly fell into a commotion.

Immediately after, there was the boos from the Grizzlies fans who were there.

There is no doubt that Seo's second season in the NCAA was a success, especially in the Final Four.

But does he deserve to be on the list?

Even if you choose James Harden, it's better than choosing Xu Yong!

After all, Xu Yong is only the second leader at Arizonada State University!

And this boo spread in a few moments.

It was a team such as the Kings and the Knicks that also had a chance to get Seo Yong.

Now that Xu Yong has been chosen, they can't get it, so naturally they will also coax.

In the face of these boos, Xu Yong behaved calmly.

In fact, he is still relatively calm at the moment.

Although this result was completely unexpected, the Grizzlies are also a rebuilding team and a good fit for him.

So the results are not bad.

As for these reactions from the fans, isn't that a good thing?

If your idol can use media skepticism as motivation for improvement, isn't the booing of fans the best motivation for you?

He walked up to Stern and shook hands.

"Very special clothes." Stern smiled like a kind grandfather.

Xu Yong's list is only one order lower than Yao Ming back then.

And with such a high signing, Xu Yong's example for Chinese players is also extremely high.

"Thank you." Xu Yong responded appropriately, and then half-turned to take a picture with Stern.

Although the boos have not stopped, the magnesium lights under the stage have been flashing.

This was the biggest surprise of this year's draft, and of course the biggest news.

And Xu Yong's Tang costume is too individual.

After the group photo, Xu Yong walked off the stage from the other side of the stage, where there were already beautiful reporters waiting to interview him.

"Congratulations, Xu, how are you feeling now that you have become the highest-ranked Chinese player after Yao?"

"I'm excited to be selected with the second pick and it's a testament to the hard work I've put in over the years." Xu Yong replied with a smile.

"Did you ever think you'd be drafted in this pick?" The reporter then asked.

"No, I didn't try out for the Grizzlies, but that's not going to be a problem and I'm going to try to prove that the team made the right choice." Xu Yong's answer stands out for being calm and calm.

"And what do you know more about the Grizzlies?" The reporter wanted to get some hot news out of his mouth.

"yes, I know the Grizzlies were in Vancouver and then moved to Memphis, and it's a young but energetic team that has made the playoffs multiple times under Pau Gasol, and I'm excited to be part of a team that is full of futures." Xu Yong said with a smile.

The Grizzlies are rebuilding, and he's not mistakenly remembering that the black-and-white duo of Marc Gasol and Randolph will be going this season, so there are opportunities and the future is promising.

While Xu Yong was being interviewed by reporters, Schwartz's mobile phone rang.

He answered the phone, his face shocked.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't care about the situation at the scene, and walked straight towards Xu Yong.
