I'm really good at shooting.

However, it also piqued his curiosity.

In fact, don't tell me, if the Houston team chooses Gasol in the end, it is actually not a loss.

Big men are inherently valuable these days, and this is a rare big year in which big men have concentrated and exploded, and the value of draft picks is here.

Houston's gamble is understandable.

It depends on their choice.

Five minutes later, Yao Ming's off-stage interview over there was over, and he was going to the press area.

Sun Hao and the others got up one after another and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Sun Hao glanced at Brown, who had buried his head under the table.

Unlucky boy.

Brown's mental quality is poor, and he doesn't seem to have participated in the Chicago tryout.

I don't know which pick it will fall into.

Perhaps, it is also a good choice for him to withdraw from this year's draft as the previous rumor said.

Sun Hao looked away, and left the small green house with the others.

People around cast envious glances at them.

Relatives and friends of the No. [-] pick, the days to come will be comfortable.

That's when Stern reappeared, holding an envelope containing Houston's selection.

"The second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2001, the Houston team chose..."

As before, Stern made a pause.

"Kwame Brown, a 2-meter center, from Green College."

The Houston team chose Brown.

"..."

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This is a bit embarrassing.

With Francis replaced by Brown, I don't know how the Houston team's management will feel in a few years.

However, there were already cheers at the scene.

The Wizards missed Brown, but Houston took a big gamble.

This is the choice they want to see!

Brown also became the highest-ranked high school player in NBA history.

Brown, still crying under the table.

After being called up by the relatives and friends beside him, he was stunned for a while before he could react.

After knowing that the Houston team had replaced him with Francis, he immediately wiped away his tears, and then showed a burst of excitement.

Although he didn't become the No. [-] pick, the second place is actually not much worse!

And Houston, where a Hall of Fame-level center Olajuwon could have been produced before.

Last year's Olajuwon was about to retire. If he went, he would not only get Olajuwon's guidance, but also pass on the tradition of the center forward.

And after Francis leaves, he has the opportunity to become the new core of the Houston team.

This is much better than the Wizards.

Thinking of this, his mood has improved a lot, except that the circles of his eyes are still a little red, he can no longer see his previous depression.

He took a photo with Stern on stage, and hope was rekindled in his eyes.

After taking the photo together, when he was interviewed by the reporter, he suddenly became full of pride.

"It doesn't mean anything to be the No. [-] pick. My next goal is the best rookie. The fans in Houston are waiting for me. I will lead this team to regain its former glory."

Brown's eyes are full of hope and longing for the future.

……

Yao Ming and Sun Hao greeted each other, and then went to the media conference.

Yao Ming was elected as the No. [-] pick, so he must have been much busier than Sun Hao.

Sun Hao had some free time, so he found a seat to sit down and continued to watch the draft.

But in the next few minutes, he felt that his understanding had been greatly impacted.

Because of the third pick, the Bulls and Clippers made another deal.

The Bulls traded Elton Brand, the third pick and Brian Skinner from the Clippers.

Sun Hao had a black question mark face.

In the rookie game last year, he had a fierce battle with the sophomores from the class of 1999. At that time, he still felt that the class of 1999 could be regarded as the silver generation.

It turned out to be good now, first the No. [-] was sent away, and then the No. [-] was also traded?

The performance of these two is not bad!

Moreover, all the rookies in 1999 signed the new collective agreement contract, which expired in four years, so even if it was to be dealt with, it would take three years!

This is really puzzling.

The only explanation is that the management of each team regards this draft as a super year, and they all started to gamble.

But this deal is really Krauss.

If the Bulls use the No. [-] pick, it means that Francis will be traded with the No. [-] pick.

The Rockets will ask for some bonuses, and it is also a selection. The salary of the No. [-] pick is much cheaper than the No. [-] pick.

As with last year's draft, pick Krause wisely.

The third overall pick went to the Bulls, who finally chose Tyson Chandler.

Although there are some changes in the draft picks, the top three picks are the same as ESPN's predictions, Yao Ming, Brown and Chandler.

The top three draft picks are over. According to predictions, the Warriors with the fourth pick have a high probability of winning Eddie Curry, and the Grizzlies with the fifth pick will pick Gasol.

In this way, all the top big men in this draft year have been robbed.

But as mentioned earlier, Sun Hao's cognition has been greatly impacted.

Because when Stern walked out, he actually announced another deal!

Sun Hao felt that these teams must be cooperating to retaliate against Stern and let the latter walk on the stage twice more.

The originator of this deal is somewhat unexpected, because it is a two-for-one draft pick deal.

The Celtics traded their 10th and 11th picks in the first round with the Warriors and got the Warriors' No. 4 pick.

Stern once again came from behind the scenes to the stage, followed by announcing the selection of the Celtics.

"The fourth overall pick in the first round of the 2001 NBA Draft, the Boston Celtics selected... Pau Gasol, a 2-meter center from Spain."

The Celtics took Gasol away!

Gasol stood up with a smile and hugged his relatives and friends beside him.

His relatives and friends are very happy, after all, this is one higher than the previous draft predictions.

Only Gasol Jr. was unhappy.

Gasol had already made the bet to him before, and he agreed.

The better his brother is now, the more difficult it will be for him to defeat his brother!

Sun Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Such a cute little Gasol, he really has to help him in the future, and let the little Gasol get rid of that "hateful" brother.

After laughing for a while, Sun Hao shifted his gaze from the little Gasol to the big Gasol.

The Celtics are about to rise!

Gasol, Anthony Walker, Pierce, Boston's three-headed dragon!

If he remembers correctly, Gary Payton also played with the Celtics in history.

If the butterfly's wings didn't slap Boston, then this four-star lineup is not just as simple as rising.

Of course, Sun Hao is purely watching the excitement, he and the Mavericks are still thinking about how to cross the Spurs and Lakers.

After this selection came out, the Grizzlies' draft hut has exploded.

They had already prepared to take off Gasol, but now it has come to naught.

And this unexpected change forced them to make a choice within 5 minutes.

"The 2001th pick in the first round of the NBA in 5, the Vancouver Grizzlies selected... Shane Battier, a 2-meter-01 small forward, from Duke University."

Grizzlies, simply don't want to be big!

Eddie Curry, another unlucky kid after becoming Kwame Brown.

Although his mood was a little better than Brown's, he was on the verge of collapse.

His draft projections are really down the line.

Fortunately, the Eagles shot in time.

They took Eddie Curry with the sixth pick, and they managed to keep the hapless kid from falling.

Yao Ming is tall and his wings are big enough. He is a butterfly who has already messed up this year's draft and made a huge change in history.

And no matter what, someone will be squeezed out of the first round. Brown and Curry have become the first two unlucky kids, and I don't know who will be next.

However, Sun Hao didn't pay any more attention at this time, because Yao Ming's press conference was over.

Yao Ming's mood looked very good.

Don't worry about where it's going, it can be unhappy when it becomes the champion.

Jordan also came down to the field at this time.

He greeted Yao Ming with a smile, but Yao Ming seemed a little nervous.

Jordan is a supreme existence for all basketball players.

Even Sun Hao was not so calm when he met Jordan for the first time.

"Relax, kid, we still have plenty of opportunities to get along."

As Jordan spoke, he raised his hand and patted Yao Ming on the shoulder.

The basketball gods also seem to be in a pretty good mood.

He has never worked with a super center in his career, and now he has this opportunity.

Sun Hao looked at it, and suddenly felt that if he had a chance next season, he must watch the Wizards game.

Not only Yao Ming, but also Jordan, who he knew was definitely coming back.

Jordan + Yao Ming, this sounds very exciting!

After chatting for a while, Yao Ming went to take photos of the rookie's makeup.

On the day of the draft, he was busy as the No. [-] pick.

Sun Hao continued to sit back and watch the draft.

The draft is already out of the lottery.

He read another transaction message, but it was only after the selection was made.

Houston traded their 13th overall pick Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins and Brandon Armstrong for No. 7 Eddie Griffin from the Nets.

The rhythm of the Houston team is to win two talented big men in this draft at once.

Most people think that the Houston team has made a lot of money in this wave.

This is the hottest big man right now!

And although Griffin is not a center, he averaged 17.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 4.4 blocks after only one year of college, and was elected the best freshman in the United States by "Sporting News".
