Chapter 10 Sixth Pick
After the staff at Madison Square Garden smoked their last cigarette, they walked into the arena with solemn expressions, ready to bring their best side into today's draft.

The New York Knicks are the richest in the NBA, and they are located in the best market. It is also the city where the top executives of the NBA work. It should be said that it is a place that can attract stars to play here, but.

Judging from the fact that they have been able to draw lottery picks every year in the past few years, it is true that the record of the New York Knicks has been unsatisfactory.

And I don’t know if the Knicks are a cursed team. It’s okay for them to have poor records every year, but they can’t get the No. 1985 pick every year. Their closest No. 23 pick dates back to Patrick U in [-]. Because, counting carefully, [-] years have passed, and they still haven't had a champion. It's so sad that it makes people cry.
New York fans hope that the team in their city can make a breakthrough every year, but every year they come back disappointed, hoping that their team can pick out a good rookie player to rebuild, but they are lottery champions every year Fate, until 2015 when Porzingis was selected as an All-Star seedling, but even the arrival of Porzingis could not change the bad luck accumulated by the Knicks over the years
Considering that Knicks fans buy the most expensive tickets in the league every year, but see the teams they support fail again and again every year, this kind of bitterness is really not enough for outsiders.

The 6 NBA draft officially began when the pointer outside Penn Station reached 2008 o'clock.

The first round of the draft takes a long time. David Stern, the semi-destroyed NBA president, will come up and announce the list one by one in his cadenced tone. Each rookie will also have a lot of lengthy documentaries to play. Afterwards, there are also the players' own testimonials. It can be said that a rookie will occupy 10-15 minutes.
Of course, this is limited to the first round. There are no such complicated things in the draft behind the lottery. In fact, except for these small green room players, other rookies are not eligible to come to Madison Square Garden. No matter how beautiful the MV is, or how bold the testimonials are, it’s useless
The first, without a doubt, is Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis.

This point guard who masters skillful ball-handling skills and extremely strong ability to change directions, has perfected off-ball cuts and running positions, and is already in a mess at the point guard position has become a point guard before he entered the draft. In the first year of the NCAA, Derrick Rose led the Tigers to an astonishing 33 consecutive victories. Unfortunately, the free throw in the final championship game became a stain in Rose's life.

Many experts have already predicted what kind of achievements he will achieve in the NBA, and in fact he has indeed achieved success. Only 3 years later, at the age of 23, he won the regular season mvp of the 2010-2011 season and led the The Bulls achieved an impressive record of 62 games and 20 losses that year, and won the regular season championship at that time.

But it’s not easy, maybe he was born alone and bad luck. Just when Jordan predicted that the Bulls might start another glorious dynasty under the leadership of this rising star, in the shrinking season of 2011-2012, Rose He suffered the worst injury of his career.

Then he became a real version of "Shang Zhongyong".

But that is all the history of his own parallel world, who knows if he will get hurt here?
Pa la pa la, the 15 minutes that a rookie can use quickly passed. After Rose reluctantly stepped down, the second place was the future CBA star selected by the Heat, Michael Beasley.

This is another well-known second place in the list of parallel importers. He has an inhuman physical talent but also has an "inhuman" basketball IQ. Beasley, who was once considered the best model to be Amare Stoudemire, finally connected with his Worst template Al Harrington didn't even make it
The third is Oj. Mayo selected by the Grizzlies, the fourth is Russell Westbrook selected by the Supersonics who has not yet changed his name, and the fifth is Kevin Love selected by the Timberwolves.

My Neighbor Totoro gradually became nervous. He was the only Chinese player who was invited into the small green room. He had a Chinese face. I waited until I was in the 20th pick before being selected by the other party in a fair manner.

Because this is a bit of a waste of value. Generally speaking, the top ten players in each NBA draft will be the focus of the team's training. Even if they are not the core cornerstone of the team, the host position will definitely not be lost. But if he is selected at the end of the first round of the NBA, wouldn't that be the fate of a substitute?
Yao Ming, who is preparing for the 08 Olympic Games in China, is also watching the live broadcast of the draft in front of the TV. The little giant also doesn't know what the team thinks.

Over the past few years, the relationship between Yao and McGrady has become increasingly difficult. McGrady’s lazy style of play, lazy defense, and always wasting the ball like making rough shots have made Yao Ming very dissatisfied. At that time, he said that he was willing to be a green leaf, that is, the second head of the team, but after all, I have already abdicated to make way for the talented, and you are a core but don't work hard?How can you convince those people who follow you?

Therefore, this time the Rockets used Tracy as a bargaining chip to trade the top picks. In addition to Adelman's decision, there were also little giants and other players such as Artest who contributed to the flames.

I just don't know why, the Rockets haven't had any trade messages recently, and Dayao himself hasn't received any calls. Why, isn't Totoro's performance not impressing the opponent, shouldn't it?Isn't it according to Dunn that the team from the boss down to the cleaning aunt have a good impression of this polite compatriot?

"Next is the sixth pick!"

David Stern picked up the next piece of paper. He was over 70 years old and persisted on the stage for an hour and a half. It was hard for this old man.

"The New York Knicks have selected the Totoro from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California. Congratulations to this lucky Chinese kid. He will wear the New York Knicks jersey in the future!"
