Chapter 604 [The Great Emperor to the Bull, the first person in the green house]
The draft was held in Madison Square Garden. This time two Chinese players ran for the election, so Chinese fans attached great importance to reads;.
If Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian were selected, there would be four Chinese players in the NBA playing basketball, and the Chinese men's basketball team was unprecedentedly powerful. Chinese fans all hope that the Olympic men's basketball team can win the championship at their doorstep and create another miracle after the World Championships. The NBA is the most suitable place for players to experience.
After Yi Jianlian arrived in the United States, he called Wang Jun. He wanted to wait for the lottery results in the "Green House" and wanted to know if there was anything to pay attention to.
Wang Jun smiled and said, "You are the first Chinese to sit in the green house. Yao Ming and I didn't go to the talent show. Are you calling to show off?"
"Uh...I don't mean that."
"Just kidding, you really don't have a sense of humor. The draft is just a formality and there is nothing to pay attention to. The main thing is that you have to let go after you score the team, be sure to be awkward, speak boldly, and perform boldly. You have to let the coaching staff know that you want the right to the ball, no matter where you go."
Yi Jianlian asked: "Will this be bad? I'm just a newcomer."
"If Milicic dares to fight Larry Brown in the first season and proposes to let him play or trade him, he can leave the Pistons at most one season. Talent is only one aspect of success. If you don't want to end up with him, it's better to show who else is the same."
"Thank you, I remember." Yi Jianlian did not doubt Wang Jun's experience.
He also called Yao Ming and got the same answer. Americans like confident people rather than modest people.
Wang Jun also thinks that black coaches are a bit fucked and it is difficult to give foreign players a chance. If you want to stand out, it is best to support a team where whites are coaching.
He thought about it and didn't say it, not wanting to scare Yi Jianlian.
Sun Yue did not call Wang Jun. When he was in the national team, the two didn't talk much.
At the beginning of the evening draft, the Bulls chose Oden with the No. 1 pick.
Auden University performed well. He was selected into the first team of USA Today and Prada Magazine twice, and was not as popular as LeBron James back then.
Auden University's data is not outstanding compared to the outside line. This is because he had an injury to his right hand when he started the game, and he used his left hand to attack most of the time. His injury in the NCAA knockout season was basically healed, and his shooting left and right will improve immediately.
Due to injury, he averaged only 289 minutes per game, but not as good as O'Neal's college data back then.
The Sharks had 139 points, 12 rebounds, 19 assists, 37 blocks in 281 minutes, and Oden had 157 points, 96 rebounds, 07 assists, 33 blocks in 289 minutes.
The two were almost equal. Oden was even in the knockout stage than O'Neal, who shot 628% from free throws in his freshman year.
Oden is also the biggest winner in this physical test. He jumped well, with a jumping height of 81cm on the spot, a running height of 86cm on the run, and a retracement height of 86cm. He also performed very well. Due to worrying about wrist injuries, he did not participate in the bench press test. Judging from the items he participated in the test, he is the best comprehensive data among the rookie centers participating in the physical test in recent years.
Durant was selected by the supersonic second place.
Durant weighs only 97 kilograms, has a studded body and can't do any bench press. It's just that his flexibility is acceptable. Basketball experts have doubts whether he can become a star.
Al Horford became Tanhua and joined the Trail Blazers. NCAA's final gave him and Noah Bucks extra points. Draft prediction. Many people believe that Yi Jianlian was selected as the third place.
This is not good news for Horford, because the Trail Blazers have a center spell, and their center has often suffered injuries from 1984 to the present.
The fourth Grizzlies chose point guard Mike Conley, Oden's college teammate reads;.
The fifth king chose Yi Jianlian. The Maluf brothers were very unlucky in the past two years. I hope Yi Jianlian can become another Chinese star and help them make money.
The Bucks chose Brandon Wright as the sixth place. The one they wanted to choose the most was Yi Jianlian, but unfortunately they were taken first by the king. Fortunately, the Bucks were not in high ranking. If they went to that bad place, Yi Jianlian would be able to cry to death.
No. 1 pick Bogut didn't get much ball rights. He just waited to be a blue-collar worker when he went there. Yi Jianlian also knew that Milwaukee was a bad city and refused the Bucks' trial before.
The Hawks chose Jeff Green in the seventh place. Judging from the lineup, Green, Marvin Williams and Josh Smith overlapped, both of which were swinging at the 3 and 4 positions. It would be a waste to choose to be a substitute.
The Hawks are also helpless, and the big center is not very attractive. Instead of choosing rough Gonoa, the Hawks management thinks it is better to choose a forward swinger with strong mobility and learn the Bulls' small ball tactics.
The Timberwolves selected Cory Brewer in the eighth pick, a swingman with outstanding physical fitness.
The Bobcats picked Jokin Noah with the ninth pick, blue-collar center, and could not shoot.
The 76ers selected the poor athletic white center Hawyce in the tenth place.
There was no particularly famous player behind, and the Pacers wanted to choose a center, but Hoyce was picked out. There was no way, they chose the height of the forward swaying man Saidis Young.
Artest is making a big move in the summer to transfer. He won't stay with the Pacers for too long, but he doesn't have the right chips yet. There are now three players with similar styles in the team, Granger, Artest, and Sadies Young.
This is not considered Dunleavy's premise. If there is no trade, there will definitely be players who will be scrapped next season.
The Hornets also wanted to choose a center, but there was no strong man. In the end, Jason Smith was selected. This summer, the Hornets wanted to trade Ben Wallace out and had enough of Big Ben's bad free throws.
The Rockets chose a small point guard, Aaron Brooks, the fastest among rookies.
After Van Gundy was cut, the Rockets targeted former Kings coach Adelman and were preparing to fight for attack in the future. This is actually not a good choice.
Adelman's tactical system emphasizes mobility. If he is suitable for teams like the Vocational Education Bulls, how can Yao Ming, who has a big center in the Vocational Education, get faster?
As long as Yao Ming adheres to his low-post offensive tactics, Princeton cannot fight, which will definitely test Adelman's ability. If he let Yao Ming run or support him at a high position, it will test Yao Ming.
The Knicks chose Finnish point guard Petri Copoen with the 30th pick, and Thomas got mad again.
The team's point guards are almost fighting for the ball. What do you want to choose another one? Is it because this young player has a contract and cannot join the NBA for the time being?
The Knicks boss continued to let Thomas serve as coach and general manager, making people wonder if the two had any ulterior motives. Otherwise, I would really not understand why the boss reused such a person.
Thomas's stupidity is not just manifested in running the team, who sued Sanders, the former senior deputy director of marketing and operations.
Later, because he was unable to reach an out-of-court adjustment, Federal Court Judge Gerald announced that he would open another trial in September this year, and waiting for Thomas's result is very likely to be guilty.
Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers in the second round. The Lakers' move was also to attract Chinese fans and increase attention. They also chose Grizzlies star Paul Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol at the 48th pick.
The Bulls did not choose any more people, and they could not train a rookie with low picks. They traded the second round pick to the Mavericks for a little cash.
