Chapter 62
(To make a few points briefly, the first point is that I am stupid and want to use my personal opinion to convince the audience. This is like some people like to eat salty tofu nao, while others like to eat sweet tofu nao. I have to convince people who like salty to eat it Sweet, it’s completely brain-dead behavior. Any player will not be liked by everyone. Those who hate him will ignore his advantages and magnify his shortcomings. As an author, just write your own story and persuade others to eat sweets What is the tofu brain doing? So I won't be cheap in the future.
The second point is that I made the mistake of being a fake fan again. A book friend reminded me that the league has a treaty called the Stapin Rule, which stipulates that the team cannot trade the first round of two consecutive years. If it is traded, it should also be In 09 and 11, it diverged like this. Because this problem will affect the follow-up plot, so I don’t plan to change it. Just treat the two teams as having traded after selecting players, so that it will not violate the rules, sorry. )
The NBA Draft was held on June 2009, 6 in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.
After two years, Wang Xiao came back here, feeling quite good.
At least this time, he has the right to decide the team's draft and trade.
But the general manager of the Wizards, Grunfeld, next to him, didn't look very good.
These days, many media reporters have asked him about the trade of the Wizards, which annoyed him, not only because Wang Xiao took away his rights, but also because, not long ago, During the meeting of the Wizards management team, he learned about Wang Xiao's draft plan.
"Wang... I think we should use the second overall pick to get Thabeet. He is a rare high-quality big man with a strong defense. As long as he improves his offense, he should be able to replace Heywood in the team's position. , next season will be Haywood's contract year, how about..."
Wang Xiao looked at Grunfeld who couldn't help but started chattering again, smiled and didn't speak.
After a long time, Grunfeld came over again.
"Otherwise, it would be good to pick Rubio. He performed very well in the EuroBasket and is a very good point guard..."
Wang Xiao: "..."
This guy's vision is really good enough, let alone Rubio, what the hell is Thabeet?
"Mr. General Manager, I have already made a decision on how to make a selection. All you need to do is look forward to the wonderful performance of the team next season."
Wonderful performance?
Grunfeld's face turned dark.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the NBA2009 Draft..."
NBA President Stern came to the stage to give an opening speech as usual. After the speech, the 09 NBA Draft officially began.
"The Los Angeles Clippers' No. [-] pick is ... forward Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma."
There was a burst of applause, and Griffin stood up from his seat with a smile on his face, put on a Clippers baseball cap, and shook hands with Stern to thank him.
The Clippers management who selected Griffin also had joyful smiles on their faces.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, they still got Griffin as they wished. This big man with a strong body and better dribbling skills than many guards will definitely become the star of hope for the Clippers' rise!
"Next, the Washington Wizards pick...Arizona State guard James Harden!"
The applause sounded again, but Harden, who was sitting in his seat, was slightly taken aback.
But he reacted quickly, stood up from his seat, put on the Wizards baseball cap, and walked towards the stands.
As he walked, Harden murmured in his heart.
How did the Wizards choose me?
During the previous trial training, although Harden went to the Wizards, he did not have in-depth contact with the management team of the Wizards, and the opponent did not show an attitude of interest in him. Instead, the Thunder, which has the third overall pick The team was full of praise for him and was very interested. He thought he would be selected by the Thunder.
On the other side, the faces of the Thunder's management team changed.
"The Wizards actually chose Harden... In this case, we can only choose Evans."
Although because of Wang Xiao's troubles, the situation of the Thunder team is completely different from that of the Thunder team in another time and space, but they are both third picks, and they still have the same fancy for James Harden.
However, as the team with the third overall pick, it is impossible for the Thunder to only focus on Harden alone.
Also a shooting guard, Tyreke Evans, who is 1 meters tall and has excellent physical fitness, is also one of their key targets.
The reason why the first choice is Harden instead of Evans is because the latter is good at attacking the basket, but not good at mid-range and long-range shooting. His style overlaps with the point guard Russell Westbrook the team chose last year.
In contrast, Harden, who has a good long-range shooting technique, is more suitable to partner with Westbrook.
But now, Harden has been intercepted by the Wizards in advance, and the remaining players in the small green house are basically high-quality point guards. The only big man Thabeet is in conflict with Oden, so their choice can only be Evans .
"The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Tyreke Evans from the University of Memphis."
The Thunder selected Evans, and the Kings, who had the No. [-] pick, chose Thabeet, who was favored by many people, but was actually a big fake.
Thabeet, who was selected, was a little unhappy, because he was the only player in this draft who could threaten Griffin's No. [-] pick, but he was selected with the fourth overall pick.
Immediately afterwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves have two first-round picks with the fifth and sixth picks.
The Timberwolves first used the fifth overall pick to win the legendary Spanish golden boy Ricky Rubio, and then used the sixth overall pick to select Stephen Curry from Davidson College.
When Stern pronounced Curry's name, Curry looked confused.
His heart is the same as that of Harden before, extremely suspicious.
The Timberwolves have not paid much attention to themselves during the trial training. Why did they suddenly choose themselves in the draft?
At the same time, the Golden State Warriors are also confused.
"Damn Timberwolves!" While cursing the Timberwolves fiercely, the Warriors management team had to write another name.
"Golden State's seventh pick is...Brandon Jennings from Italian League Roma."
Hearing Stern's name of Jennings, Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He also thought that the Warriors would choose Jonny Flynn, who should have been the sixth overall pick, because the Timberwolves cut off Curry.
Unexpectedly, they fell in love with Jennings.
Although Brandon Jennings suffered a setback due to injury, he was still a pretty good point guard when he was healthy. He played more than 400 games in his NBA career and averaged 16.6 points and 6.2 assists per game. Although the shooting percentage is a bit low, it is still better than Jonny Flynn, who was ranked above Curry in the draft.
In fact, apart from Harden Curry Griffin, the best player in this rookie class is DeRozan. It's a pity that the Warriors now have a shooting guard Monta Ellis. They want more A point guard, not a shooting guard like DeRozan.
For the Warriors, the shooter-type point guard Curry is obviously the best choice, but who makes their draft pick relatively late?
No one knows yet what kind of storm Curry will set off in the league in the future.
Hmm - Wang Xiao knows.
and so……
The draft is still going on, but the officials of the Timberwolves and the Wizards have silently hung up a piece of news.
The Timberwolves sent Stephen Curry with the sixth overall pick, the team's shooting guard Mike Miller, forward Ryan Gomez and the 11 first-round pick, and got guard Gilbert Arenas from the Wizards .
Fans who saw the news were shocked.
