...
The Thunder, formerly the Sonics.
The difference from history is that Durant and Ibaka have joined the Warriors one after another. Now the core of the Thunder is Westbrook and Jeff Green.
But as the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and there are losses and gains.
They directly won the No. 1 pick this season.
As for whether it is because of the relocation to Oklahoma, no one knows if the alliance supports it.
All in all, they got this No. 1 lottery, and it was the lottery they dreamed of!
Just because... Griffin!
This is not just a simple matter of talent, but because Griffin is the hero of Oklahoma!
He played an extraordinary 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 of a big man who can be compared to perimeter players, and his terrifying physical quality all make Oklahoma City fans crazy.
It's not an exaggeration to say that in Oklahoma, Griffin's team gets more attention than the new Thunder team.
So the probability of the Thunder picking Griffin is the same as the Griffins picking Rose last year, 100%.
And Griffin's style of play is too dazzling. He has more fans in Oklahoma City than Rose.
No, nearly a thousand Thunder fans were there to wait 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 before he was injured, his other talents are very explosive, absolutely all-star level.
Westbrook and Jeff Green, plus him, this new version of the Thunder should also have a good prospect.
After Stern read the opening remarks, he then announced the signing of the Thunder.
After another five minutes, Stern came out from behind the scenes again and smiled and announced the Thunder's choice.
Because there is no suspense, there is no pause.
"In the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Oklahoma City Thunder chose a 2.08-meter power forward from the University of Aoklahoma!"
When Stern announced, the Thunder fans on the scene began to enter the mad hi mode.
At this time, Griffin's college highlights were released on the Tai screen behind, and the scene was boiling.
This guy is so capable.
Especially with his short hand for comparison, the visual impact is full.
The name of White Monster is worthy of the name!
Griffin was also prepared, smiled and got up, and after having it with his relatives and friends, he took the Thunder hat that the staff handed over to the stage.
His steps looked very brisk.
Not everyone has the opportunity to finish college and directly participate in the NBA team in the city!
And the Thunder just moved here, and the team is just waiting for it.
All this is like it was specially built for him!
The money is bright!
At this time, the camera cut to the side of the small green house, and the other members of the small green house showed envious eyes unconsciously.
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. 1 pick, he will certainly not make a fake injury controversy.
No matter who you are, no matter what industry you are, no one does not want to be the first person.
What's more, Curry had a direct confrontation with 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, the Houston team followed.
Since the Houston team sent Olajuwon away, the team has been rotten like a curse.
And the key is that at the beginning, there was a bad pick and a good pick, but later it was gone.
Now after many years, they finally got another high overall, also pointing to the turnaround this year.
Sun Hao was also curious about the Houston team's choice at this time.
With this pick in history, the Grizzlies won Thabeet.
But the Houston Browns are still holding the maximum salary and shouldn't choose another insider.
If they can choose Harden, that would be the best choice.
Houston's hip king is in advance!
Even if you miss Harden, choose Tyreke Evans or Rubio, it would be great.
The former can yy next James, the latter can be the top five goals in the sky.
Five minutes later, Stern stepped up to the stage again and announced the Houston team's choice.
"The second overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, Houston chose a 2.18-meter center from the University of Connecticut!"
...
Uh, this is toxic.
No, this team is poisonous!
Sun Hao was a little confused when he heard this choice.
This is so funny for him!
Although because of his connection with Kang University in his previous life, he also hopes that Kang University players can 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 that has a body but no technique, and the technique is completely impossible to develop.
But compared to that, Houston's choice of Thabeet is very unreasonable in itself!
The only explanation may be the preference for the center forward, or even persistence.
Or in other words, after so many years, they have almost lost patience with Brown.
This is preparing to put Brown on the shelf, and then devote himself to training the rhythm of Thabeet!
It’s just that I can guess that a few years later, the Houston management will definitely want to hit the wall because of this choice...
After the Houston team, the Knicks followed.
The Knicks had been revealed that they were interested in Curry, but because of Curry's injury news, they finally didn't care.
Sun Hao's interest at this time was once again filled.
If the Knicks...
"The third overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the New York Knicks chose..."
This time Stern paused, because this is in New York, the home team's choice is naturally very interesting.
"...James Harden, 1.96-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 so problematic.
Harden's history is also a flower show, this choice can be said to be reasonable.
But the problem is, Harden went to New York!
If Curry’s character is not destined to make him worse in New York.
So Harden, going to New York is like going to heaven!
This is a super star who is very enthusiastic about clubs and huge buttocks!
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 get stuck in the huge buttocks and then couldn't make a shot...
But Harden looked happy when he got up.
He went to the place he wanted to go most!
New York is one of the most prosperous cities in the United States!
what? Is the Knicks "the bad guy can't help the wall"?
That's not necessarily true, he is confident that Harden has the opportunity to change all of this.
At this moment, the scene shot from Curry.
If the previous shot was just inadvertent, then this one is deliberate now.
The outside world doesn't know that Curry's so-called injury hazards are fake, they all feel sorry for Curry.
Because if it weren't for injuries, New York should have been where Curry went.
But now, I just passed him by.
Curry's eyes were magnified on the large LED screen at the scene, which looked a little complicated.
He should have been expecting it, but he seemed to be not so concerned.
In the end, he found himself appearing on the large LED screen, and simply bowed his head.
This also caused a commotion at the scene.
They felt that Curry was so sad that he couldn't control his emotions.
The draft continues.
The fourth overall pick is for the Bucks.
Compared to the previous three teams, the Bucks should be the last thing players want to go to.
Fagan, Yi Jianlian's agent, made a farce because he disliked the small and cold place in Milwaukee.
Recommend an app, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, can change the source books for the full \\mi\\miread\\\\!
"The fourth overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Milwaukee Bucks chose Stephen Curry, a 1.91-meter point guard from Davis Academy."
Stern changed another way this time and directly read the Bucks' choice.
And this choice surprised most people.
Because Curry was cut off!
And it's the Bucks!
Sun Hao was also a little confused.
what's going on?
Curry made such a fuss and ended up in such a place where birds don’t shit? ?
And went to teammate with Bogut?
He stunned for a while...
Because this result was the least he expected, and the least he wanted to see!
Moreover, West miscalculated?
Can't it? !
It is impossible for a trader like West to be planted in such a place!
Off the court, Curry was also a little confused.
He also thought of 10,000 possibilities, but he didn't think he would go to Milwaukee!
He really killed himself to the show with an operation!
However, his ability to respond on the spot is very good. After the surprised expression flashed, he smiled and got up to hug Ayesha, parents, and relatives and friends beside him.
After receiving the Bucks hat from the staff, he trot all the way to the stage.
This scene also made the audience laugh.
This guard with a baby face is still very attractive.
Even Stern has a friendly face. This is probably the first time he has seen him look like a schoolboy since he participated in the draft for so long.
After the group photo was over, Curry also went to the stage to interview the reporter.
"Do you know much about the Bucks?"
The reporter apparently rushed to dig a hole.
"I... don't know a lot, but I know Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Big O Robertson, they are both great super stars, there must be a very good team culture there, I think I will like it there."
Curry, speaks quite well.
And his words are very comfortable.
In the long history of the NBA, while superstars have won many fans, there will be many black fans that are uncontrollable.
This is the most obvious manifestation in James and Kobe.
But Curry is very rare among them.
Because of him... most of the time it really makes you not dark.
wrong.
Sun Hao reacted at this moment.
If he remembers correctly, West told him before that he had given Curry a draft pick, but he didn't say that it must be the ninth pick.
With his example, a team willing to gamble for Curry is not impossible, and West cannot be unprepared.
And this kind of thing happened when he participated in the draft and Yi Jianlian participated in the draft, and they were all traded after the draft.
Thinking of this, Sun Hao sent a message to Paul Fu.
Sure enough, Rich Paul gave him a message back after a while.
Curry is not going to Milwaukee, but to Oakland, the Warriors!
In other words, this choice was not made by the Bucks themselves, but the Warriors asked the Bucks to make them for them.
This is the same reason the Hornets chose Kobe.
Just now I don’t know how much the Warriors paid for Curry.
The draft is still going on, and Sun Hao is a little absent-minded.
He hesitated, and finally got up on the second floor and went to the Warriors' draft cabin.
Instead of waiting for news here, it's better to ask directly, it's much more convenient.
When he arrived at the draft cabin, West had already spoken before he spoke.
"We picked Stephen."
It seems that the transaction should have been completed.
And the reason West will make this trade is because he has received news that the Kings will pick Curry with the fifth overall pick.
So it's not that the Warriors were intercepted by others, but that he made a counter-attack.
And to be able to do this, his own network of relationships is indispensable.
But thinking about the way he communicated with Sun Hao before, it wasn't that strange.
How can someone like West lack friends?
Then, Sun Hao also knew the subject of the transaction.
As he thought about last season, the Warriors had a lot of blood to get Curry.
They sent the 9th pick of this year, and Livingston, got the 4th pick of the Bucks, and the first round of the Bucks in 2011, and a future second round.
In order to get Livingston, the Warriors also paid a lot of money. Now this is a bit of a cheap sale.
You know, this is Livingston, who hasn't been seriously injured.
The current rookie Curry is obviously not worth the price~EbookFREE.me~ but West is obviously not only interested in the value of Curry in this transaction.
The draft is still going on.
The fifth overall pick is Tyreke Evans.
The sixth overall Timberwolves chose Rubio.
These two choices are the same in history.
The Nets, with the seventh overall pick, chose DeRozan.
This failed to retain Carter, and then selected Carter's successor.
The eighth overall pick of the Bobcats chose Harden's inside partner Jordan Hill 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 Marvin Williams.
The Warriors with the ninth overall pick, 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 have fallen.
But by this time, Sun Hao felt a bit inexplicably painful for the Bucks.
They have already sent Nowitzki in this way in history, and now they have sent Curry out again.
This is much worse than the Hornets!
Houston in the west and Milwaukee in the east are a bit interesting.
Curry's affair was over, and Sun Hao went out again to "ventilate".
Of course, this time he went out to breathe because he went to chat with Xiao Curry.
When Sun Hao saw Curry, the latter's stunned expression reminded him of the classic words.
Kids, do you have a lot of question marks?
When Sun Hao was selected and traded, it was in this state.
It seems that his big nephew, not only plays like him, but his experience is also very similar.
"Stephen, do you know much about the Warriors?"
Sun Haopi asked Curry with a smile.
