I'm really good at shooting.

Sun Hao then laughed out loud.

As long as he is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

"Do you want to play with Chris Paul or Deron Williams?"

After laughing, Sun Hao changed the topic.

He had asked Yi Jianlian this question before, but the current situation has changed from the beginning.

At that time, the NCAA had just ended, and there was still relatively little information about rookies.

But after the trial training, including many agents, they will dig out and publicize some gimmicky stories about rookies. Popular rookies like Paul and Deron are already relatively transparent.

And this time point is no better than when Sun Hao first joined the league. The network is developing very fast, especially in North America. Facebook has it all, and the dissemination of these information is naturally faster.

"Chris Paul."

Yi Jianlian also gave an affirmative answer this time.

"I've heard Cameron say about him, that he's a guard with a lot of leadership."

Yi Jianlian also gave an explanation.

Sun Hao also nodded when he heard this.

Yi Jianlian is now the 03 generation, and after his personality change, he has a good relationship with several members of the 03 generation.

This can be seen from the communication between them during the previous All-Star Game.

Some people will say that the relationship is so good, why did James Bu invite Yi Jianlian to train together?

Because Yi Jianlian is preparing for the Asian Championships!

And Yi Jianlian said that Anthony, the two are from the 03 generation and both are in the East, so it is normal to communicate more.

Coupled with the fact that Paul also went to James' training camp under the recommendation of Duncan, it is reasonable for Yi Jianlian to have such an answer.

This is also similar to what Sun Hao expected.

One is that Paul's career is longer than that of Deron;

Second, Paul's character is more suitable for Yi Jianlian than Deron;

The third is that Deron's success has a lot to do with Sloan, but Paul has his own on-court coaching attributes;

Of course, there are four more. Paul's self-contained lob team attribute fits well with Yi Jianlian's ability to run and jump.

Then the question now is whether the Bulls can draft Paul.

"By the way, didn't Xiaozhu come with you?"

After talking about Yi Jianlian's partner, Sun Hao asked Zhu Fangyu by the way.

Last year, Zhu Fangyu attracted some attention, but at that time there was no team to try him out, and he did not sign up in advance.

But this year, Zhu Fangyu has reached the age of automatic election.

"He said he didn't want to be sad."

Hearing Yi Jianlian's answer, Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Fangyu's words are so cute.

But yes, it seems that no team has asked him to try out this year. If you want to watch yourself lose the selection, it will be a bit sad.

That night, the 2005 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

The scene is still full of seats, but what is different from previous years is that the number of New York fans arriving this year may be the fewest in history.

Don't ask why, the question is that the suffocation operation last season not only prevented the Knicks from making the playoffs, but also gave the draft pick to their former rival Chicago.

With this kind of operation, New York fans have the heart to kill "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas.

If Thomas hadn't resigned at the end of the season and slipped away quickly, there might really be personal safety issues.

But the result is such a result, the most to the scene is the Bobcats fans.

The first No. [-] pick in team history!What an exciting time!

Although the history of this team is only two years...

Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian also arrived at the scene, but instead of sitting in the auditorium, he went to the draft office of the Lakers first.

The things he suggested to Jordan had already been spoken out after Jordan was drunk last year.

Kupchak and Bass already depended on Sun Hao, and with the champion last year, they valued Sun Hao's suggestion even more.

And of course, "The Wrath of the Emperor" exudes the light of righteousness.

So at an important moment like the draft, it was completely normal for them to pull Sun Hao to the draft cabin.

"Is there anyone worth recommending in the second round?"

Little Bass asked very directly.

And there's nothing wrong with his way of asking.

The Lakers' first-round pick has been traded to the Mavericks.

Now all they hold is their own No. 60 pick, which is basically air.

The only way they want to operate in the draft is to use future draft picks and cash to exchange for other people's draft picks.

This kind of transaction is difficult to get the first round, but the second round is relatively easy.

When Buss Jr. said, the assistant had already handed Sun Hao the list of this year's draft.

Sun Hao looked through it, and many of the names above also awakened the memory deep in his mind.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but only now did he realize that this year's draft conference can be called a great year for Taobao!

These names are second-round picks in history: Monta Ellis, Louis Williams, Brandon Bass, CJ Miles, Eisen Ilyasova, Andre Blatche, Ryan Gomez, Marcin Gortat, Vaughan Weaver, Ronnie Turiaf…

Among these people, there are All-Stars, main players and substitutes. The common point is that they have played their own places in the NBA as second-round picks.

Sun Hao's gaze finally swept back and forth between Blatche and Williams.

Among this group of people, Ellis is the strongest at the peak, but to be honest, his style of play is a bit rough, and his career efficiency has not been very good.

And during his peak years with the Warriors, the Warriors never made the playoffs.

If the Lakers want to choose a guard, they must choose a strong defensive player who can start with Sun Hao, or the sixth man.

Then Williams would obviously be a better choice.

It's just that he heard rumors that Gary Payton came to the Lakers to try out and performed well, and the Lakers might sign him.

Then the selection of Williams is for training.

Considering Malone's retirement, the Lakers will be short of power forwards, and Blatche is a more suitable candidate.

It can be said that Sun Hao, the player of Blatche, is quite familiar with it.

Because of Yi Jianlian, the Wizards also have some fame in China, so Blatche, who later went to play for the Wizards, is also known.

After that, Blatche couldn't get along in the NBA and went to the CBA, even if he became a household name.

Of course, his reputation is not very good, he has a strange personality, bad temper, and loves singles.

However, in the NBA period, Blatche was a qualified starter. Although his defense was mediocre, his offense was relatively comprehensive, both singles and mid-range. At his peak, he averaged 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game for the Wizards.

More importantly, Blatche is one of the few who can play the sixth man inside.

Even to some extent, the sixth man is the most suitable for him.

In the two seasons before leaving the Nets in the NBA, he averaged about 20 minutes per game as the sixth man, contributed about 11 points, and hit 5% of his shots, which were the most efficient two seasons of his career.

"If you can score, you can get more points, if you can defend well, it is enough." This is basically the quality that the sixth man needs to possess.

However, Sun Hao didn't decide on which one in the end, because there was still a free agent market later, and he didn't know if Kupchak was talking to anyone else.

Because O'Neal's contract expires this summer, the Lakers can renew his contract.

This means that as long as the team is willing to pay the luxury tax, tens of millions of players can also sign.

If he really signed a strong player, Blatche would not be so popular.

So his final suggestion to Bass Jr. is, Williams or Blatche, who you choose in the end depends on the situation.

Buzz Jr. glanced at Kupchak, who nodded.

He is following up these two players, especially Williams, who has trained with Sun Hao before, so they are quite favorite.

Sun Hao didn't pay attention to these details, he gave the advice that should be given, and who can be selected depends on Kupchak's operation.

When he came out of the draft hut, he then went to the auditorium to sit with Yi Jianlian.

It's just that before his butt was hot, James brought Paul over there to say hello to him.

Ask why James appeared in the draft?

On the one hand, Paul is running for the election, and on the other hand, the "Wrath of the Emperor" is not unique to Sun Hao alone.

"This is my new brother Chris."

When James introduced Paul to Sun Hao, his face was quite proud.

This kind of pride is also understandable. As Sun Hao's fanboy, he now has his own little brother.

"Hey Chris."

Sun Hao choked back the half-sentence of "close the door".

People in this era don't know the memes of his era. I already felt that embarrassing when I was chatting with Yi Jianlian yesterday.

"Sun."

When Paul shook hands, he was possessed, and his tone was very respectful.

Sun Hao's current achievements are comparable to or even surpassed Kobe. For Paul, he is the kind of person who stands at the top of the league, and he is just a rookie who has not been selected.

"If there is a chance to go to Chicago, please tell Yi, he is my brother."

Sun Hao glanced back at Yi Jianlian when he was speaking.

Yi Jianlian also got up and greeted Paul.

The NBA is actually really sophisticated.

After the greeting here, Paul went back to the little green room first, and the draft was about to start.

Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian also looked at the stage, and Stern came out from behind the scenes.

Compared with five years ago, he is much older, and the most obvious feature is that the gray hair has covered his entire hair.

No matter which industry, the helm is always the oldest and fastest one, because ordinary people can't imagine how much trouble there is in that position.

Domineering presidents are just things in novels or movies. Those people in reality, if you let you do it, you might rather be an ordinary person after doing it for a few days.

There were fewer New York fans at the scene, but he was still greeted with boos all over the sky.

As long as it is a basketball game, there will be controversial whistles every year. In the second game of the finals, Big Ben didn't call for a foul on O'Neal, which is enough to make fans boo him.

Of course, this is only one reason, and the more reason is that fans have already regarded this as a habit.

Stern also responded with a smile as in the past. After the boos fell, he announced the start of the draft with familiar opening remarks.

The first pick belongs to the Bobcats, they have 5 minutes to prepare.

Sun Hao's eyes were also full of curiosity at this time.

Because the team already has Okafor, there is actually a lot of suspense about who the Bobcats will choose.

It is not impossible to choose Bogut to play the Twin Towers, but the possibility is not great. After all, Bogut is also a defensive insider like Okafor;

Or they will choose Marvin Williams, who was closely connected with them before, but the latter's talent is obviously not up to the top pick level;

Or they will directly trade the No. [-] pick to other teams and directly exchange for a famous star. This possibility is the greatest.

Of course, Sun Hao was curious about whether the Bulls could switch the No. [-] pick to whomever, and choose Paul or Deron as the No. [-] pick. Then there would be another top No. [-] pick in NBA history.

Time flies, and just as Sun Hao was thinking, Stern has come out from behind the scenes again.

At this time, Yi Jianlian clasped his hands on his knees and rubbed together, looking a little nervous.

Sun Hao has nothing to do with him at all, but Yi Jianlian may be waiting for his partner next season.

Stern glanced at the audience with a smile, and then announced the Bobcats' choice.
