The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 62: Draft Conference

(A few points briefly, the first point, I’m stupid. I want to use my personal opinion to convince the audience. It’s like someone loves salty tofu and someone loves sweet tofu. They have to convince people who like salty to eat. Sweet, completely brain-destructive behavior. No one player will make everyone like it, and people who hate him will ignore his advantages and magnify his shortcomings. As an author, just write your own story and persuade others to eat sweet. What about tofu brain? So I won't be cheap in the future.

The second point, I made the mistake of "puppet ball" again. A book friend reminded me that the league has a treaty called the Staples Rules, which stipulates that the team cannot trade in the first round for two consecutive years. It should also be such a disagreement in 2009 and 2009. Since this problem affects the subsequent plot, it is not ready to change. It is only when the two teams choose their own players to trade, so that they will not violate the rules, sorry. )

NBA's draft meeting was held on June 25, 2009 in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.

After a lapse of two years, Wang Xiao returned to here, and it felt pretty good.

At least this time, he has the power to decide the team's draft and trade.

But the Wizards general manager Glenfield's face next to him is not so pretty.

These days, many media reporters have asked him questions about the Wizards trade, which makes him feel very annoyed, not only because Wang Xiao took away his rights, but also because, not long ago, In the meeting of the Wizards management team, he knew Wang Xiao's draft plan.

"Wang...I think we should use the second overall pick to win Tabbit. He is a rare high-quality big man with a strong defense. As long as he plays more offensively, he should be able to replace Heywood's position on the team. , Next season will be Haywood’s contract year, it’s better..."

Wang Xiao looked at Glenfield who couldn't help but started chattering again, smiled and didn't speak.

After a long time, Glenfield came together again.

"Otherwise, Rubio is also very good. His performance in the European basketball game is quite good. He is a very good point guard..."

Wang Xiao: "..."

This guy's vision is really good enough, even if Rubio, what the **** is Tarbit?

"Mr. General Manager, I have made a decision on how to choose. All you need to do is look forward to the team's wonderful performance next season."

Wonderful performance?

Glenfield couldn't help but look black.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the nba2009 draft..."

NBA President Stern took the stage to give the opening remarks according to the convention. After the speech, the 2009 draft meeting officially began.

"The Los Angeles Clippers' first choice is... forward Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma."

There was a round of applause, Griffin stood up from the seat with a smile, put on the Clippers baseball cap, and shook hands with Stern to thank.

The Clippers management who selected Griffin also had a smile of joy on their faces.

Although the process is a bit tortuous, they still got Griffin as they wished. This big body, the dribble technique is better than many defenders, and the big man will definitely become the star of hope for the rise of the Clippers!

"Next, the Washington Wizards' choice is... Arizona State University guard James Harden!"

Applause sounded again, but Harden sitting in his seat was slightly surprised.

But he quickly reacted, got up from the seat, put on the Wizards baseball cap, and walked towards the grandstand.

As he walked, Harden muttered in his heart.

Why did the Wizards choose me?

In the previous training, Harden went to the Wizards, but he did not have in-depth contact with the Wizards’ management team. The other party did not show an interest in themselves. Instead, it was the Thunder with the third overall pick. The team was very interested in himself, he thought he would be selected by the Thunder.

On the other side, the "face" of the Thunder management team's face has changed.

auzw.com "The Wizards actually chose Harden... In this case, we can only choose Evans."

Although because of Wang Xiao's troubles, the Thunder's situation has been completely different from that of another time and space Thunder team, but they are also the third overall pick, they are still the same as James Harden.

However, as the third choice team, the Thunder cannot focus on Harden alone.

Tyrek Evans, who is also a shooting guard with a height of 1.98 meters and a very good physical quality, is also one of the targets of their focus.

The first choice is Harden rather than Evans, because the latter is good at impacting the rim, not good at long-range shots, and the style overlaps with the team's point guard Russell Westbrook last year.

In contrast, Harden, who has good long-range shooting skills, is more suitable for partnering with Westbrook.

But now, Harden is intercepted by the Wizards in advance. 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's choice was Tyreke Evans from the University of Memphis."

The Thunder chose Evans, and the King with the fourth pick was unlucky. He was chosen by a lot of people, but in fact it is a hugely popular Tarbit.

The selected Tabit is not too happy, because he is the only player in this rookie who can threaten Griffin's top spot, but he was selected in the fourth pick.

This was followed by the Minnesota Timberwolves with five first picks and six sixth picks.

The Timberwolves won the Spanish legendary golden boy Ricky Rubio with the fifth overall pick, followed by Stephen Curry from Davidson College with the sixth overall pick.

When Stern pronounced Curry's name, Curry was stunned.

He had the same doubts as Harden in the past.

The Timberwolves did not pay much attention to themselves in the trial training. Why did they suddenly choose themselves at the draft?

At the same time, the Golden State Warriors were also stunned.

"Damn Timberwolves!" While swearing at the Timberwolves, the Warriors management team had to write another name.

"The Golden State Warriors' seventh choice is...Brandon Jennings from the Italian League Roma."

Hearing that Stern reported Jennings' name, Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows "Mao" unexpectedly.

He thought that the Warriors would pick Curry because of the Timberwolves, and chose Jonny Flynn who was supposed to be sixth.

Unexpectedly, they actually fell in love with Jennings.

Although Brandon Jennings later suffered from injury, he was still a good point guard when he was healthy. He played more than 400 games throughout his career and averaged 16.6 points and 6.2 assists per game. Although his shooting percentage is a bit low, it is still stronger than that of Jonny Flynn, who was ranked above Curry in the draft.

In fact, this rookie, in addition to Harden Curry Griffin, the best player is DeRozan, but unfortunately the Warriors now have a shooting guard Monta Ellis, they want more It is a point guard, not DeRozan who is a shooting guard.

For the Warriors, "shooting" hand point guard Curry is obviously the best choice, but unfortunately who makes their draft picks behind?

No one knows yet what kind of storm Curry will set off in the league in the future.

Um-Wang Xiao knows.

and so……

The draft is still going on, but the Timberwolves and Wizards officials have quietly hung up a piece of news.

The Timberwolves sent Stephen Curry, sixth pick, team shooting guard Mike Miller, striker Ryan Gomez and 11 years of first-round draft picks, from the Wizards to guard Gilbert Arenas. .

The "fans" who saw the news were shocked.
