I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 601 The 2009 NBA Draft!

Before the start of the playoffs last season, the lottery results of the draft have been released.

The order of the lottery picks is as follows:

First pick: Thunder
Second pick: Houston

Third pick: Knicks

Fourth pick: Bucks
Fifth pick: Kings
Sixth pick: Timberwolves

Seventh pick: Nets
Eighth pick: Bobcats
Ninth pick: Warriors
Tenth pick: Eagles

No.11 pick: Grizzlies
No.12 pick: 76ers
No.13 pick: Jazz

No.14 pick: Suns

……

The Thunder, formerly the Sonics.

The difference from history is that both Durant and Ibaka have joined the Warriors one after another, and now the core of the Thunder is Westbrook and Jeff Green.

But as the saying goes, if there is a gain, there will be a loss, and if there is a loss, there will be a gain.

They directly won the No. [-] lottery this season.

As for whether it is because of the relocation to Oklahoma, no one knows the league's support.

All in all, they got the No. [-] lottery, and it was their dream No. [-] lottery!
Just because... Griffin!

This is not just a matter of talent, but because Griffin is the hero of Oklahoma!

He had a phenomenal season in Oklahoma in his sophomore year.

The NCAA averaged 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game, and led the team to the NCAA quarterfinals!

His talent, the ball-handling talent that can be compared to perimeter players in a big man, and his terrifying physical fitness have all made Oklahoma City fans crazy.

It's not an exaggeration to say that in Oklahoma, Griffin's team has received far more attention than the newcomer Thunder.

Therefore, the probability that the Thunder will choose Griffin is the same as the Grizzlies chose Rose last year, which is 100%.

And Griffin's style of play is too showy, and he has more fans in Oklahoma City than Rose.

No, nearly a thousand Thunder fans were present, just waiting for the moment when Stern announced that the Thunder had selected Griffin.

From Sun Hao's point of view, the Thunder's choice will indeed be good.

Although Griffin was a bit short-handed before he was injured, his other talents were very explosive, absolutely at the All-Star level.

With Westbrook and Jeff Green, plus him, this new version of the Thunder's three should also have good prospects.

After Stern read the opening remarks, he then announced the ownership of the Thunder's pick.

In the next 5 minutes, Stern came out from behind the scenes again and announced the Thunder's choice with a smile.

Because there is no suspense, there is no pause.

"The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Oklahoma City Thunder chose a 2m power forward from the University of Oklahoma!"

When Stern announced, the Thunder fans on the scene began to enter the crazy mode.

At this time, Griffin's college highlights were released on the big screen behind, and the scene was boiling.

This guy is really good at buckling.

Especially with his short hands for comparison, the visual impact is full.

The name of the White Warcraft is worthy of the name!

Griffin was also prepared, stood up with a smile, and after sharing with the relatives and friends beside him, he took the Thunder team hat handed over by the staff and went on stage.

His steps looked very brisk.

Not everyone has the opportunity to finish college and directly join the NBA team in the city!

Moreover, the Thunder have just moved here, and the team is still waiting to be done.

It's all like it was made just for him!
Money is bright!
At this moment, the camera cut to the side of the little green room, and other members of the little green room unconsciously showed envious eyes.

Among them, Curry is also included.

Although a decision has been made, no one wants to be the champion.

If Curry is scheduled to be the No. [-] pick, he probably won't make a fake injury turmoil and drop his pick.

No matter who it is, no matter what industry it is, no one would want to be No.1.

What's more, Curry has directly confronted Griffin's team in the NCAA.

Griffin had 25 points and 21 rebounds in that game, but he also scored 44 points.

After the Thunder, Houston came next.

Since the Houston team sent away Olajuwon, the team has been rotten like a curse.

And the key is that there are still good picks in the beginning, but later the picks are gone.

Now after many years, they finally got another high pick, which also means that they will turn around this year.

Sun Hao was also quite curious about the Houston team's choice at this time.

At this pick in history, the Grizzlies took Thabeet.

But Houston's Brown is still on the team with a maximum salary, so he shouldn't be able to choose another insider.

If they can choose Harden, that is the best choice.

The Houston butt king is in place ahead of schedule!
Even if you miss Harden, it would be good to choose Tyreke Evans or Rubio.

The former can yy the next James, and the latter can score five best goals every day.

Five minutes later, Stern walked up to the stage again and announced the Houston team's choice.

"The second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Houston team chose a 2-meter center from the University of Connecticut!"

……

Well, this force is poisonous.

No, this team is poisonous!
Sun Hao was a little confused when he heard this choice.

This is so funny to him!
Although because of his relationship with UConn in his previous life, he also hopes that UConn players will have a good prospect in the NBA.

But Thabeet is different from Milicic, and even has a huge gap with Brown.

This is the standard one with a body but no skills, and the skills can't be trained at all.

But compared to that, the fact that Houston chose Thabeet itself is very unreasonable!

The only explanation may be a preference for, or even obsession with, center forwards.

In other words, after so many years, they are about to lose patience with Brown.

This is the rhythm of preparing to put Brown on the shelves and then spend time cultivating Thabeet!
It can only be guessed that after a few years, the management of the Houston team will definitely want to hit a wall because of this choice...

After Houston, the Knicks followed.

The Knicks were originally reported to be interested in Curry, but because of Curry's injury news, they finally lost interest.

At this time, Sun Hao's interest was full again.

If the Knicks...

"The third pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the New York Knicks chose..."

This time Stern paused, because this is New York, the home team's choice is naturally very interesting.

"...James Harden, a 1 meter shooting guard, from the University of Arizona!"

really!

When Sun Hao heard this choice, his expression was a little exciting.

It's not that the Knicks' choice is much of a problem.

Harden is also a flower show in history, and this choice can be said to be reasonable.

But the problem is that Harden went to New York!
If Curry's character is destined to not make him bad in New York.

So Harden, going to New York is like being in heaven!
This is a super star who is crazy about nightclubs and big butts!

And New York, isn't it the most developed place for these things!
Uh, don't tell me, Sun Hao even worried that Harden might be unable to fight because he buried his head in the giant buttocks...

But Harden looked happy when he got up.

He has gone to the place he most wants to go!

New York is one of the most prosperous cities in the United States!
What?The Knicks are "a bad guy who can't support the wall"?
That's not necessarily the case, Harden is confident that he has the opportunity to change all of this.

At this moment, the live camera flashed past Curry.

If the previous shot was just inadvertent, then this one is definitely intentional.

The outside world doesn't know that Curry's so-called hidden dangers are fake, and they all feel sorry for Curry.

Because if it weren't for the injury, New York would have been where Curry would have gone.

But now, just pass him by.

Curry's eyes were magnified on the large LED screen at the scene, which looked a little complicated.

He should have expected something, but he didn't seem to care that much.

In the end, after he found himself appearing on the large LED screen, he simply lowered his head.

This also caused a commotion at the scene.

They felt that Curry was too sad to control his emotions.

The draft continues.

The fourth pick, the Bucks.

Compared with the first three teams, the Bucks should be the last thing players want to go to.

At the beginning, Yi Jianlian's agent Fei Gen made a farce because he disliked the small and cold place in Milwaukee.

"The fourth pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Stephen Curry, a 1 meter point guard from Davis College."

Stern changed his method again this time, and directly read the Bucks' choice.

And this choice surprised most people.

Because, Curry was intercepted!
And it's the Bucks!
Sun Hao was also a little confused.

What's happening here?
Curry made such a fuss, and ended up going to such a place where no shit? ?
And became teammates with Bogut?
He was dazed for a while...

Because this result was the last thing he expected, and it was also the last thing he wanted to see!
Moreover, West miscalculated?
Can't you? !

It is impossible for a trader like West to fall in this kind of place!
Off the court, Curry was also a little confused.

He also thought of [-] possibilities, but he never thought that he would go to Milwaukee!

He really showed himself to death with one operation!

However, his on-the-spot adaptability is still very good. After the surprised expression flashed, he smiled, got up and hugged Ayesha, parents, and relatives and friends beside him.

After taking the Bucks hat handed over by the staff, he trotted onto the stage.

This scene also made the audience burst into laughter.

This defender with a baby face is still very attractive.

Even Stern has a friendly face. This is probably the first time he has seen someone who looks like a primary school student since he participated in the draft for so long.

After the group photo was over, Curry also went to the audience to interview reporters.

"Do you know much about the Bucks?"

The reporter was obviously also rushing to dig a hole.

"I... don't know much, but I know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Big O Robertson. They are both very great superstars. There must be a very good team culture there. I think I will like it there."

Curry is very good at talking.

And what he said was very comfortable.

In the long history of the NBA, while superstars have won many fans, there will also be a lot of black fans uncontrollably.

This is most evident in James and Kobe.

But Curry is one of the few black fans.

Because he... most of the time really makes you dark.

wrong.

At this moment, Sun Hao came to his senses.

If he remembers correctly, what West told him before was to give Curry a draft promise, but he didn't say that Curry must be selected with the ninth overall pick.

With his example, it is not impossible for a team willing to gamble for Curry to appear, and it is impossible for West to be defenseless.

Moreover, this kind of thing happened when he participated in the draft himself, and when Yi Jianlian participated in the draft, they were all traded after the draft.

Thinking of this, Sun Hao sent a message to Paul Fu.

Sure enough, after a while, Fu Baoluo replied to him.

Curry is not going to Milwaukee, but to Oakland, the Warriors!

In other words, this choice was not made by the Bucks themselves, but by the Warriors who asked the Bucks to do it for them.

This is the same reason that the Hornets chose Kobe.

It's just that it's still unclear what price the Warriors paid for Curry.

The draft is still going on, Sun Hao is a little absent-minded.

He hesitated, and finally got up and went up to the second floor, to the Warriors' draft cabin.

Rather than waiting here for news, it would be much more convenient to ask directly.

When he arrived at the draft cabin, West had already spoken before he could speak.

"We've chosen Stephen."

It appears that the deal should have been done.

And the reason why West will make this deal is because he has received news that the Kings will choose Curry with the fifth overall pick.

So it's not only that the Warriors were intercepted by others, but that he manipulated a counterattack.

And to be able to do this, his own network of human relations has contributed a lot.

But thinking about the way he communicated with Sun Hao before, it's not so strange.

How could someone like West lack friends?
Then, Sun Hao also knew the subject of the transaction.

As he thought last season, the Warriors were bleeding a lot to get Curry.

They sent this year's No. 9 pick, and Livingston, got the Bucks' No. 4 pick, the Bucks' 2011 first-round pick, and a future second round.

In order to get Livingston, the Warriors also paid a lot of money, and now it is a bit of a cheap sale.

You must know that this is Livingston who has not suffered serious injuries.

The current rookie Curry is obviously not worth the price.

But West's value in making this deal is obviously more than Curry's value.

The draft is still going on.

The Kings selected Tyreke Evans with the fifth overall pick.

The Timberwolves selected Rubio with the sixth overall pick.

Both options are the same as in history.

The Nets chose DeRozan with the seventh overall pick.

This is because they failed to keep Carter and then chose Carter's successor.

With the eighth pick, the Bobcats selected Jordan Hill, Harden's inside partner at the University of Arizona.

This choice is somewhat similar to the Houston team. The Bobcats should also be a little disappointed with former champion Lang Marvin Williams.

The ninth pick of the Warriors, it should be said that the Bucks chose Brandon Jennings.

As in history, Jennings still went to the Bucks. It seems that his 55 points in a single game should be settled.

But at this point, Sun Hao felt a little inexplicably aching for the Bucks.

In history, they have sent Nowitzki in this way once in the past, and now they sent Curry out again.

This is much worse than the Hornets!

Houston in the west and Milwaukee in the east are a little interesting.

The Curry matter is over, and Sun Hao went out to "breathe" again.

Of course, this time he went out to breathe because he went to chat with Curry.

When Sun Hao saw Curry, the latter's bewildered expression reminded him of that very classic sentence.

Children, do you have a lot of question marks?
It was also in this state when Sun Hao was selected and then traded.

It seems that his big nephew not only plays like him, but also has a similar experience to him.

"Stephen, do you know much about the Warriors?"

Sun Hao pouted once, and asked Curry with a smile.

　I'm a bit busy today, and I'm not in a good state, so I'll give you a little more
