On June 27, 2007, another NBA draft began.

Drafts, even drafts like those in 2000 and 2001, which were not expected at all at the time, still attract a lot of attention.

After all, no matter how young the draft year is, there is still potential for gold to emerge.

The NBA has a steady stream of stars who come out of the draft. Many fans want to try their own eyes and guess which rookies who were not optimistic at the beginning may be able to counterattack.

Moreover, Greg Oden, who is as popular this year as LeBron James in 2002, even looks very similar, naturally attracts a lot of attention.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after a two-hour "warm-up session", which included videos of the Little Green Room rookies entering, videos of popular rookies and their families and friends, etc., the much-anticipated draft finally began.

The first pick... there is no suspense, the Heat only have one goal, and they selected Greg Oden with the No. 1 pick!

As expected, there is no suspense.

Liu Mang looked at Riordan's face on the TV screen and couldn't help but said: "Hey, how come those rookies with explosive talents in the past, like Jordan, Magic, Duncan, and Iverson, were pretty good-looking, even if

O'Neal is also pretty good-looking. What's wrong with young people nowadays? James is already very unfavored by time. This guy feels even more aged than James."

"A sense of time?" Sanniu heard Liu Mang's adjective, looked at the face on the TV screen, and then thought of James...

"Uncle, Uncle James is so kind to you, but you are going a little too far." After saying this, the little Loli couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm praising James for his maturity, what do you know!"

Believe it or not!

The three girls all gave Liu Mang a blank look, and the one-year-old mini loli next to him began to imitate his example.

After three minutes, the second pick began to be selected.

Seeing that the Hornets selected Kevin Durant, Liu Mang thought that Durant and Westbrook could both practice well by playing together, with a point guard who prefers to pass the ball...

It’s a bit awkward!

With the third pick, the Grizzlies chose the best of the remaining rookies, Al Horford, without any suspense.

The Celtics selected Mike Conley with the fourth overall pick. With Pierce and Al Jefferson among others, they desperately needed a point guard.

After all, from a transaction perspective, the Celtics are a bit confused now and can only temporarily select people based on the team's needs.

With the fifth pick, the Timberwolves selected Cavalry Company Captain Corey Brewer...

Seeing Brewer, Liu Mang thought maliciously: "If there is a chance to sign back in a few years, how can the company commander not run with the cavalry company..."

Afterwards, the Magic used the No. 10 pick obtained from the Bobcats to select Joakim Noah.

Liu Mang's view on Noah...a version of Gasol with enhanced passion and shooting off a cliff.

The draft has not exceeded people's expectations from the beginning, and the players selected by the teams with the top 12 picks have generally been in line with people's predictions.

There is just one player who can play multiple positions and is considered by fans to be a player that many teams will compete for. He has been dropped to the 13th pick. He is - Jeff Green!

Previously, the Sonics were very hesitant when they used the seventh pick they obtained from the 76ers. Jeff Green and Ace Law were both T1 picks. Their predicted picks were about the same. In the end, they surpassed

The Sonics selected the 2005 All-American Outstanding Honor Player, senior combo guard Acey Lowe, who was selected to the All-American First Team for two consecutive years.

After drafting Asi Law, the Sonics felt reluctant to part with Jeff Green, a small forward who was perfect for Francis, but they never expected that the Trail Blazers would choose Thaddeus Young with the 12th overall pick!

So the Sonics quickly drafted Jeff Green.

After that, things were generally calm. The Pistons got this year's No. 15 pick from the Hawks in a two-for-two draft pick and selected Ronnie Stuckey, a strong tall combo guard who averaged 24.6 points, 5.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds as a sophomore.

.

Liu Mang watched the rookies grab college highlights one by one, and saw fans of some teams at the scene cheering for the selection of their favorite rookie...

Now, except for Liu Mang, who could have expected that this would be a draft whose reputation is greater than its real level?

The reason why Liu Mang didn't want to draft anyone this year was because he knew that this season's draft was actually like that. As for trying to dig out some potential stocks that had not been tapped in the original time and space... Liu Mang thought it was okay, so in addition to keeping one

The 28th pick, none of the others were left.

"Uncle, uncle, it's time for us to choose someone! Who will we choose this year?"

"Gasol's brother!"

"Gasol's younger brother?" Little Loli's eyes lit up. Of course she knew how powerful Gasol was.

Gasol is so good, Gasol's younger brother must not be bad either, and Gasol is a handsome white guy...

Not that I have any ideas, just like men like to look at beautiful women, women also like to look at handsome men.

Not only the little girl, but also Levia and Alexia are very curious about Gasol's younger brother... They completely forgot about the Spanish team's center. After all, he is a European player, and Gasol is not famous now.

, I have long forgotten that I saw Gasol in the World Championship finals. In fact, they didn’t know Gasol’s name in the World Championships finals.

The three girls were all waiting eagerly. After the Timberwolves, who generally prefer outsiders and drafted a bunch of outsiders this year, selected Aaron Afflalo with the 27th pick, it was finally time for the Hawks to draft!

Without any unexpected circumstances, no one will notice Marc Gasol at this stage.

When David Stern announced that the Hawks had selected 22-year-old center Marc Gasol from Barcelona in the Spanish League with the 28th pick in the first round, a large number of Hawks fans were stunned.

You must know that in normal drafts, they are the ones who cheer the most.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially when the confused Marc Gasol walked up to David Stern and shook hands, the crowd started to talk...

See the scenes of Marc Gasol and Pau Gasol working together in the World Series on the big screen...

With a brother as handsome as Gasol next to him, Gasol looks just like his useless fat brother...

After Coach Kruger and Price handed over the envelope, they came to the scene. When they heard the noise, they were more frightened than the fans.

"The 28th pick, it can be sold for two to three million..." Price's heart was bleeding. He felt that Liu Mang was deceived by Gasol...

But thinking about Liu Mang's vision, Schwartz sent Gasol to New York this morning, along with Gasol who had just returned to China to celebrate his NBA championship with Spanish fans, who Liu Mang signed.

Without this player, they could only choose to believe in Liu Mang's vision.

Looking at Gasol walking onto the stage, Price felt eyesore and asked the secretary who walked next to him and Coach Kruger: "How is it? Did he agree?"

The secretary responded: "He agreed. I have already booked the restaurant. We will meet at ten o'clock in the evening. The sommelier and red wine are ready. Is there anything else that the boss needs to change?"

"No more..." Price thought it was better to talk about business. Watching Liu Mang's draft was really a bit overwhelming.

Selected with the 28th overall pick…

Gasol is like a dream.

Even his parents didn't believe that he could be selected with such a high pick. His brother even told him that it would be great if the Hawks could use a second-round pick to select him. It's not that Gasol didn't believe in his brother.

Talent, but Gasol has grown too fat.

Gasol, who accompanied his younger brother to participate in the draft, did not expect that the Hawks would spend such a large amount of money to select Gasol. You must know that Gasol is a 22-year-old overseas player and can be drafted by others without participating in the draft.

Compared to the Lakers, Gasol prefers Gasol to Liu Mang's team. The two teams are very different. The Lakers are only good at cultivating outsiders, while the insides are all about trading or grabbing free agents, while the Hawks train young players.

In terms of human ability, only the Spurs and Suns can compare in the NBA.

Little did they know...what Liu Mang wanted was a four-year contract for the first-round pick...

Gasol is already 22 years old and is automatically eligible to be selected, so he does not need to apply for the draft. He just needs to come to the scene to watch, or even not come. The draft information was also submitted by Schwartz on the same day.

On Liu Mang's side, San Niu waited in anticipation for a while, then froze...

Thinking of Gasol's face and seeing this fat man on TV, San Niu became angry!

"Ace, where is the handsome guy?" Levia said angrily.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are a big liar! You lied to Dinah again! It was the same before, Dallas was so ugly, but you lied to Dinah and said he was a handsome guy!"

"I lied to you before, but when did I say I had a handsome guy this time?" Liu Mang said angrily.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Sanniu thought about it, it seemed like it was, Liu Mang only said he was Gasol's younger brother...

"Uncle, is this fat guy really Gasol's brother? He looks nothing like him except for his hairstyle!" the little Loli asked suspiciously.

"Uh... I guess so. They also have a younger brother, but he is a thin man. He is only 14 years old and almost two meters tall..."

…

There is no particularly big news in the draft. It is not that big news that Jeff Green unexpectedly fell to the 13th pick. Although he is a T1 rookie, there are too many T1 rookies this year. If one falls, it will not be a big deal.

Toru, it’s not that incredible.

What surprised Liu Mang was that the Rockets selected 22-year-old Sun Yue with the 21st pick in the second round!

Liu Mang remembered that Sun Yue did not apply to participate in the draft, but it made no difference whether he applied or not at the age of 22.

Chinese fans are happy that Sun Yue was selected. In addition to Liu Mang, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle, there is a fifth Chinese player in the NBA, and he is an outside player!

To others, it was the fact that the Eagles drafted a fat guy that attracted the most attention.

The Eagles' draft has been the most anticipated part of the fans and media in recent years, but this year... I really can't understand it!

But other than the fact that the Eagles drafted a fat guy with a lot of brain power, not many unexpected things happened.

The trades were just minor ones. Except for the Bobcats and Pacers, who tried to exchange lottery picks for Granger, the draft picks quoted by other teams to the Hawks were not very good, and they all wanted to exchange players for them.
