Vol 2 Chapter 662: The 2008 NBA Draft!

On June 27, 2008, in the theater green house in Madison Square Garden in New York, everyone's eyes were floating towards the table in Affallo.
As the No. 6 pick this year, Avraro's round table surpassed Ross, Beasley and Mayo and others in one fell swoop and became the deserved focus of the audience.
At this moment, Ross, Beasley, Mayo, Westbrook, Love, Gallinari, Gordon, Joe Alexander, Lopez Brothers, Roy Hibbert, etc. are all hot rookies, all eyes are now on All are in the round table of Avraro.
The same is true for groups of relatives and friends around them.
For such a look, Afraro, who has always liked stinky farts, is very enjoyable.
"Ha ha ha ha, or my relatives and friends have a card!"
"There is only one group of my friends and relatives, but they can kill everyone!"
A rather arrogant speech.
Is also a speech that is quite in line with Avraro's style.
Hearing the arrogant speech of Avaro, the other people's faces in the green house did not mean to stand up and hit Avralo's face.
Because Aflaro is right.
Although this statement is a bit arrogant, but the appearance of yes can indeed kill all the people in the small green house.
Of course, although the face is a face, but this face has nothing to do with Afraro.
Yes is watched by these rookies, not just because the person who came is yes, but now the protagonist of nba.
More importantly, the draft picks now owned by the Seattle SuperSonics!
No. 11 pick!
The Cavaliers and Seattle Supersonics deal about David Lee is not a secret. Now the Cavaliers' first round of picks is already in the hands of the Seattle Supersonics!
If the Seattle Supersonics' 28th overall pick in the first round was a yes teammate for the rookie players doing, that would be a luxury.
However, the Seattle Supersonics now has 11th overall pick!
It can be said that many people here have such fantasies!
Who does n’t know now, Seattle ’s second-ranked Kevin Durant may be missing all regular season next season, and now Seattle Supersonics needs someone who can replace Kevin Durant!
After Kevin Durant was so powerful in this year's playoffs, many people think that yes has found his Pippen.
Many people also think that yes can finally stop looking for his own pippen, he has cultivated his own pippen.
But now, when this Pippen is going to be absent for nearly a season, and even after giving up, it may be no longer the bravery of that year, the role of Pippen next to yes will also once again attract the attention of the world.
Yes, the position of Pippen next to Yes is vacant. Seattle Supersonics is indeed ready to find a new Pippen, so the Supersonics will only get the No. 11 pick. This is for Pippen next to Yes.
This time, the position of Pippen, which has regained the world's attention, has become more attractive and more sought-after.
After all, the miracle of Durant has just passed, the scoring leader of the regular season, the second team of the best team, the best rookie, the average of 35+ per game in the regular season, the second scoring average in the playoffs, championship, playoffs 35+ points per game ...
Throw away Durant's shooting percentage and ask, how many Durant's regular season and postseason performance last season, how many rookies in NBA history can match?
Durant is different from the magician Duncan. He didn't get all this because of his superb strength. The reason why he can get it all is because of the cultivation of yes!
No cost training!
Why did you train Durant regardless of the cost and train Durant from an ordinary player Durant himself into an offensive superstar?
Because Durant is Yes's own Pippen!
As long as they can become the Pippen who was identified by yes, they can copy Durant's achievements this season next season!
Durant's achievements in nba this season, no rookie can resist.
Even Rose, who was guaranteed by the Bulls, knew that he could not resist such temptations.
Not because they are too powerful for these rookies, but because yes is too attractive.
As long as they are fancy and become the Pippen next to yes, they can get everything they want in nba.
"Yes, this year's supersonic No. 11 pick, is it you or you?"
When Avraluo asked this question, the ears of young players in the entire green house were raised.
"of course."
Yes ’s answer was clear, straightforward and straightforward.
When I heard Yees' answer, there was a burst of excitement on the faces of these young players!
"Yes will personally pick rookies this year, and yes will train Pippen this year!"
"As long as they are selected by the supersonic speed, they will surely become the target of the key training of yes next season!"
For a time, the whole small green house had some sudden changes.
As the only popular player this year, Ross can clearly feel the change of atmosphere at the scene.
Before Yes appeared, Rose knew very well that he was the envy of everyone on the scene.
Because the Bulls have said more than once, they can do everything for Rose.
In other words, the Bulls are definitely ready to trade the Heat's No. 1 pick anyway.
The Bulls won the No. 1 pick and they will definitely choose Ross.
A player who can be given everything by a team, is this enviable?
In the past years, even the champions may not be able to gain the trust of the team as soon as they come up.
Even Yao Ming and James rookies have no such treatment.
Yes, the last rookie who can get the treatment like Rose once he enters nba!
This year all rookies envy the Bulls' contribution to Rose, which is of course.
But now, Rose clearly feels that he may no longer be the most envied character.
The presence that these rookies are most envious of today is probably the 11th this year that Yes personally selected, which is the next Pippen in Seattle supersonic!
Selected by Seattle Supersonics to be the next Pippen? !
The mood of many people on the scene is hot.
The No. 11 pick that Supersonic has this year is not very high, but it is also not so low.
In this year's nba draft, in addition to the six rookies such as Ross, Beasley, Mayo, Willsbrook, Love, Avraro, the strength of other rookies is quite close.
This approach means that anyone can be selected by the No. 11 pick.
As long as yes is selected with the No. 11 pick, then it is typical to fly to the branch to become a phoenix!
"Who will be the lucky one?"
The entire green house, except for the six rookies, was all calculated in my mind.
There are not as many players sitting in the small green house this year as there were a bunch of Jordan Magicians last season. This year's small green house has a total of 16 players.
In addition to the six rookies, there are ten players.
The top ten rookie players can theoretically be selected by No. 11.
As a European player, Gallinari's draft prospects this year are very good. Although it is generally believed that the athletic ability is not very strong and the defense is not very good, but the excellent singles and comprehensive offensive skills, mentioned 2 meters 08 this His attractive height makes him the lowest draft template for Lakers player Turk Gru. The highest achievement can even reach Seattle supersonic small forward, scoring champion, Kevin Durant.
Gallinari is quite satisfied with his prospects for the NBA draft this year.
Perhaps the only thing that is not very satisfying is that the draft experts limited his template to Durant.
Durant ’s achievements in NBA are indeed very high, rookie scoring leader, second team, champion.
However, Durant ’s achievements are known to the whole world, and he is also very clear. He really is more talented than talented. He does n’t think he will be less than Durant in the rookie period!
Actually, he is now comparable to rookie Durant, so what is the point of setting his template on Durant highest?
His highest template, even if it is not McGrady, should be at least the level of Guy!
Of course, this is the idea in his heart. Although he is not very worthy of Durant's strength in his heart, everyone is against each other, but he also knows that he needs to prove this in NBA.
And now, it just happens to be an opportunity!
The injury of Kevin Durant caused Seattle Supersonics to miss a small forward. Now Seattle Supersonics urgently needs a starting small forward.
And I, this is the best choice!
Whether it is strength, prospects, and draft picks, it is very suitable!
The highest template of the draft is Durant?
When I was selected by Yes, Durant would give me a substitute after he recovered from injury!
Scouts say that my personality is arrogant, unlike ordinary European players.
Hum, is this my character?
This is the same confidence that you have after having strength!
I have such confidence!
Although 10 of the 16 people in the small green house are likely to be selected by the Seattle Supersonics.
But these ten people are also ranked.
Of these ten, rookies who are small forwards are naturally the most excited.
Now Durant is injured at the supersonic speed, missing Pippen, and where is Pippen? Where is Durant?
Small forward!
Gallinari is now surging, and Joe Alexander, who is a Sino-American hybrid, is also surging.
Because he is also a small forward!
In the scout reports of the draft experts, he is not only inferior to the rookie Durant, his talent, his future, everything is better than Durant, and more importantly, he will say Chinese!
He was born to go to Seattle for supersonic speed!
Is just ...
Because it is so good, his draft prospects are slightly ahead. Although all ten people are similar, there are also fronts and backs. Of course he belongs to the front.
"Don't perform so well before you know it!"
I really didn't expect that Seattle Supersonics will have the No. 11 pick, and his excellent performance has become a burden.
Gallinari and Joe Alexander, the small forwards, are very excited now.
In addition to these small forwards, another one of the most excited and most anticipated players is Mayo, who has always been considered one of the six rookies.
Said that the No. 11 pick in the Seattle SuperSonics had nothing to do with the six rookies like him.
But Mayo, as a party, knows clearly that this is not the case at all.
His draft training this year is very bad!
He tried the Heat this year, tried the Mavericks, tried the Bulls, tried the Clippers, tried the New York Knicks, tried the Nets ...
He tried almost all the teams with the top ten picks.
But the results of the trial training are not so satisfactory.
He could see that the Heat Bulls had no interest in him. The Mavericks were originally full of interest in him, but in the end he shook his head constantly, and the Clippers were also full of expectations for him. Later, when he left, the Clippers People hurt him deeply.
"It's far worse than our Nick Young, he has no ability to attack."
Far from Nick Young ...
No strong attack ability ...
This is the conclusion he got after the NBA trial training.
His height is only 1.96 meters. This height can play three positions in ncaa and high school, but in nba, he can only play shooting guard and point guard.
But he lacks the organizational talent and vision of a point guard.
He doesn't have the same skill as yes.
More importantly, his bouncing, speed and other athletic abilities are not so sharp when he reaches nba.
When his skills and athletic ability can't help him to beat his opponents strongly.
His height is not as tall as that of Nick Young and can be used as a last resort, which makes his start in NBA very bad.
In fact, he did not fail to discover it, he found it when he was at ncaa!
In high school, the gap between him and Beasley was not that big. Beasley could be invincible in high school, and he could also be invincible in high school.
But in ncaa, Beasley can still be invincible, but he is already invincible ...
When he arrived at nba, Beasley could not continue to be invincible. He didn't know.
But he, he is very clear, he has felt his limit!
According to many scouts, he may now have the strength to be close to a quasi-all-star player.
His future is at least All-Star level.
But he is very clear that if no one can help him in the future, he is at most a quasi-all-star.
After the failure of ncaa's disgrace, three months have passed, he has been working hard, but his strength has not made any progress!
This kind of halt has been discovered by more and more teams.
"He didn't have any changes compared to ncaa, no, maybe it was a little stronger. It can be seen that oj has been training hard recently."
This is the last team he tried to evaluate the Nets.
This evaluation has made him feel afraid.
One of the six rookies this year, Mayo feels that his current situation is not so good.
He was really afraid that his draft pick would fall out of the top six.
Before the Cavaliers traded the draft to the Seattle SuperSonics, he was really scared of such a situation.
but now……
He really longed for his draft pick to plummet!
Not only fell out of the top six, it is best to fall out of the top ten!
He is now very eager to be selected by yes!
On other teams, his height can't beat small forward.
But beside Yes, he can definitely play small forward!
On other teams, his skills are not so superb, and his athletic talent is not so good, which makes him lose the direction of playing with talent.
But beside yes, yes can definitely find the direction that suits him!
He doesn't want to be a quasi-all-star player forever!
He wants to be a superstar!
Even if he cannot become a superstar, he wants to be an All-Star!
As long as he can be selected by yes with number 11!
As long as he can become a Pippen beside yes!
Mayo is very excited now, because this time the draft is about his life and his future.
The rookies in the small green house are excited most of the time. Perhaps the only one who is worried is James Harden.
When James Harden heard that Yesh just said that the draft was still dominated by him, he was really struck by lightning!
Before the draft, Supersonic General Manager Presti promised him that he would definitely try to get him.
He has always been looking forward to Prestige Rondo lotto around.
His draft forecast is 16th, as long as he gets about 14 picks, he will definitely be able to take him away.
But obviously, this time the supersonic draft pick is 11!
This position is too high for him!
If the supersonic signing is about 14, he is confident that he is the best choice for this position!
But now the supersonic draft pick is 11, he really has no confidence that he is the best choice for this position!
11 position, there are too many players to choose from!
And yes this time, obviously to choose his own Pippen!
And he is a shooting guard ...
Although he can feel it and yes likes him, but this can not change the fact that he is a shooting guard!
In NBA, he is difficult to play small forward!
Maybe you can play, but yes, use this pick to pick a real potential small forward, isn't it fragrant?
Anyway, yes has the ability to train any player to become an All-Star or even a superstar. Why not choose a small forward with an excellent static body talent and choose him a 1.96-meter beggar version of Mayo?
Because he has a big pp that yes likes?
Maybe yes can be so self-willed when choosing role players, choose people according to their own preferences, but in the matter of choosing their own Pippen, yes is definitely not so self-willed!
In particular, he had a wayward last year and chose Durant.
If I cannot be selected by Seattle SuperSonics this year, what will my ending be like?
James Harden could n’t imagine it.
The most extreme situation is that he only participated in the supersonic training, other teams did not know him so much, and he deliberately released his strength and talent during the Seattle training.
Before his trial training, his lowest template was brushed to Ginobili by him here, and the highest to Jordan.
But now, for his draft template, the lowest is not to say, shameful, the highest becomes Ginobili ...
Of course, the highest can achieve Ginobili's achievements, in fact not shameful, when he did not brush the template around yes, this is his true level.
However, if you are really afraid, then you are too real!
The Seattle Supersonics are not selected. The other teams don't know him. He will not lose in the first round. In the end, he will fall into the second round like Ginobili.
He really doesn't want to be so real!
As the draft time draws near, as Aflaro and Yes chat on the side with a smile, his current mood is really uncomfortable.
Maybe everyone here is excited and looking forward, but he is scared now, really scared!
Despite James Harden ’s worries and fears, David Stern, the president of the league, came out slowly with the envelope in his hand in the huge booing of New York fans.
David Stern, who came out of the boo, did not look for the future of the nba as before, but directly put all his eyes on the handsome young man sitting with Avraro Body.
That look is so kind, so gentle, so loving.
Looking at the eyes like David Stern on TV, the Bulls really have a chilling feeling up and down!
The Bulls' record this year is the penultimate, but David Stern black can only get the fifth pick of the guarantee!
If it is not the current draft rules, the penultimate record has at least a fifth pick guarantee. They even believe that David Stern can wipe out their bulls and the teams that have scored!
This loving old man on TV, his heart is too dark, his hands are too cruel!
The Bulls are now so robbed by the guy of Pat Riley, really thanks to David Stern!
Now the bull watching TV is full of resentment against David Stern.
And David Stern at the draft did not know these things.
"Yes, David Stern's look in my eyes makes me a little numb ..."
"..."
Yes was a little speechless about Afraro, who has always felt good about herself.
After David Stern withdrew the most loving eyes from Yees, he opened the first letter with a smile.
"The 2008 NBA Draft, the first overall pick in the first round, the Miami Heat selected the defender from the University of Memphis, Derrick Rose!"
Ross, or Rose!
When Rose walked on the stage with a smile, many people watching below knew that he would be traded to the Bulls by the Heat with Deron and Wade soon!
And the Bulls will use everything they have to get this yes second!
For a time, the eyes of everyone in the world looking at Rose were full of complexity.
The last person robbed in this way has turned over with the city that has lost everything for him.
And Derek Ross, he will be like yes, can he turn over with the bull?
Now many people around the world are guessing, but the draft continues.
"2008 NBA Draft, second overall pick in the first round, the Dallas Mavericks selected the forward from the Kansas State University, Michael Beasley!"
Beasley's face was very ugly when he selected Ross with the first pick in the Heat.
This means that his efforts over the past few months have been in vain.
He has no opinion on Ross, he has a great opinion on the Heat!
This guy, Pat Riley, is always confused?
Rob the bulls, rob the wool!
Does the value of the Bulls add up to that of the uncle?
Do n’t know when I left Miami, the sympathy between Wade and me? !
"Michael, I believe we will see you soon."
Wade's words are still in my ears!
He believed that Wade was sincere.
But ...
Beasley's expression on the stage was completely different from Rose, who just smiled bitterly, and his face was black and scary.
And at this time, like Beasley, he also watched TV at home and also paid attention to Wade of this draft.
The expression on Wade's face was a bit clouded now.
"This kid really has personality!"
Aflaro seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and Yesi nodded secretly.
This kid really has personality, and his head is all angular.
It depends on whether anyone has sharpened these sharp edges.
However, it's difficult. This kid did it even if James did it and finally won the rookie.
The average person, except him and Jordan, can't really grind him.
Bessley's arrogance made David Stern quite embarrassed.
Although David Stern was in p, his face was still smiling.
Genius, he can be privileged here.
He is willing to tolerate any genius disrespecting him.
"2008 nba draft, third pick in the first round ..."
David Stern still slowly released this exciting answer.
And Afraro under the stage was already unable to sit still.
"Does it need to be so slow? Ross and Beasley are out. The next one must be Mayo."
As soon as Avraluo's voice fell, David Stern's answer was announced.
An answer that shocked the world.
"The 2008 nba draft, the third overall pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Clippers selected the defender from uc, Russell Westbrook!
Not Mayo? !
The expression on Aflaro's face is now wonderful.
Seriously, when David Stern pronounced Westbrook's name, the expression on his face was very exciting.
Including Westbrook himself.
After a year of baptism by ncaa, the world knows that Meola has opened the gap with Beasley Rose.
However, the world really did not expect Mayo to even lose the third overall pick!
Under Yees's eyes, the expression on his face was clouded when Westbrook's turtle boy walked onto the stage.
This is really blind.
His recent draft prospects are very fast, but really not so fast as to threaten Mayo.
"Congratulations, boy."
Until David Stern congratulated Westbrook, all talents recovered from the shock.
"I heard that Mayo's trial training is not very good, is Mayo really performing poorly?"
"How bad is Mayo's trial training before the Clippers give up on him ?!"
Seeing the team pick Westbrook with the third pick on TV, Nick Young in front of the TV applauded with satisfaction.
Mayo, he personally denied it.
Mayo's test in the Clippers was very bad. The height of the bare feet was 1.91 meters, the wingspan was 1.98 meters, and the standing height was 2 meters. , And the restricted area back to run is only 11 seconds 04.
No need to compare with others, just compare with the Wizards' guard, that is his 2 meter 05 Sun Yue. Sun Yue's restricted area running back is 10 seconds 6 and in-place bounce is 74 cm.
Mayo's technology is certainly stronger than Sun Yue, and much stronger, but still has not reached the point where people can ignore these hard talents.
Height, weight, bounce, speed, technique, are all good, but they all seem mediocre, coupled with the lack of key position attributes and strong enough personality, it is difficult to make people look good.
By comparison, Nick Young is quite satisfied with Westbrook.
Westbrook's vertical bounce is 89 cm, and the run-up bounce reaches 1.16. Westbrook's height is slightly shorter, but the wingspan is 2.03.03.
At the scene of the draft conference, everyone was filled with sighs and sighs.
And Mayo, clenched his fists.
It is a surprise for the whole world. For him, he is not so surprised.
"Russell is awesome and created the biggest surprise at this year's draft!"
"But with the fourth pick, the Warriors will never be surprised. It must be Mayo!"
Yes was speechless when he saw Avraro's vows.
However, the Warriors are indeed the most likely to choose Mayo.
Ok? !
"2008 NBA Draft, fourth overall pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors chose uc's defender, Aron Afflalo!"
Afflaro, who was still swearing by his heart, was fooled this time.
Even in the opinion, Afra Luoluo is more blinded than Westbrook.
"Mayo didn't even hold the fourth pick ?!"
"Another huge accident!"
For a time, the whole scene was turbulent.
And David Stern's voice continued in the commotion.
"2008nba draft, fifth pick in the first round, the Chicago Bulls selected the insider from uc, Kevin Love!"
Still not Mayo!
"2008 NBA Draft, first round, sixth pick, New York Knicks selected the striker from Italy, Gallinari!"
Still not Mayo!
While Gallinari was selected, the look on his face was very ugly.
"The 2008 nba draft, first round, seventh overall. The New Jersey Nets selected the center from Stanford University, Brook Lopez!"
Lopez was very excited. Although it was a pity that he didn't go to the Supersonics, he was a center. Even if he went, he was also a substitute. He went to the Nets, which is good.
However, there is still no Mayo!
"2008 NBA Draft, first round, eighth overall pick, Milwaukee Bucks selected Joe Alexander from West Virginia University!"
When Joe Alexander was selected, the Bucks management was excited, and finally selected a player with Chinese elements!
These two years, it's too bitter to be abused by yes!
And Joe Alexander, there is a bit of a circle, and there is a deep disappointment, not to go supersonic ...
And Mayo, his fists were tightly clenched into fists.
Throwing, afraid, relieved, and excited, now his heart is extremely complicated.
When the Bucks selected Alexander instead of Mayo with the eighth overall pick, the scene was still in an uproar, but the acceptance ability had been greatly strengthened.
"The 2008 nba draft, the first round, the ninth overall pick, the Charlotte Hornets selected the insider from Stanford University, Robin Lopez!"
Robin Lopez?
Is another surprising choice. When David Stern pronounced the name, what surprised the scene most was not that the Bobcats did not select Mayo.
It was the Bobcats who actually chose Robin Lopez, who was not a member of the Green House, and did not choose the insider De Andre Jordan who is sitting in the Green House!
De Andre Jordan has always been a genius in the American basketball world. Even if this year's ncaa was painted as a dog by Kevin Love, he can continue to sit in the small green house.
This is his talent.
But obviously, his failure at ncaa this year still affected his draft pick.
Robin Lopez is not a member of the small green house, but he is sitting in the small green house now. Because of his brother Brook Lopez, he is now sitting on the round table of Brook Lopez.
Selected by Charlotte Hornets, who had been renamed the Hornets from the original Lynx, and Lopez Jr. was very excited.
He is a pure defensive center. For many people, following the Hornets coach Larry Brown is a very desperate thing.
But for him, this is definitely a very good choice.
It is not good for him to attack like his brother, but if he is allowed to defend, he thinks he is okay.
What's more, this is the ninth pick in the first round. This pick was something he didn't even think about before!
"One family, two lottery players in the same year!"
"The Lopez family has created a record of nba!"
Robin Lopez's unexpected draft, the most happy is definitely the family of Lopez's two brothers.
"So far, the Lopez family is the biggest winner!"
Since there is the biggest winner, who is the biggest loser?
The eyes of the world are on Mayo and Jordan on TV.
"It's almost tenth overall, and Mayo hasn't been selected yet. Wouldn't a super genius like Mayo finally fall into yes?"
"Yes, can I really get my own real Pippen this year ?!"
For a time, all the coconut flour on the Internet was excited.
After Mayo ’s trial training, Mayo and the Clippers knew a few people, even David Stern did not know.
Even the physical data of the players going to the team is sometimes confidential, or even the player and the team have signed a confidentiality agreement.
For coconut flour and even most people, Mayo is still the super genius with shining stars!
And this super genius is about to fall into the hands of yes!
What a horrible thing this is!
"Yes can train players like Durant into an offensive super giant, so what about Mayo?"
A lot of people are excited, Mayo himself is excited!
Is the last choice.
Is really the last choice!
Now the whole world is waiting for the king's choice!
"The 2008 nba draft, the tenth pick in the first round, the Sacramento Kings selected the insider from Reed University, Jason Thompson!"
A 20 + 10 + 25 block + 1 steal inside ncaa for two consecutive seasons!
Now, no one cares about this insider called Jason Thompson, everyone's eyes are all on Yes and Mayo!
Feeling the proximity of all the broadcast footage on the scene, Mayo was even excited to stand up.
Even David Stern's head is exploding now!
Last year he gave the Supersonic No. 2 pick, yes wasted, missed a bunch of real geniuses and selected Durant.
This time, he didn't give anything, yes, and he can reap a real genius? !
David Stern felt that his hand holding the envelope was shaking. When he took the champion envelope, his hands did not shake!
"Mayo, it's coming to the bowl!"
A lot of coconut flour has even taken photos of Mayo wearing a supersonic jersey online!
Now coconut flour is excited all over the world ~ EbookFREE.me ~ And at the scene, James Harden's heart was completely cold, and James Harden was shaking, but he was shaking with fear.
Nima, and Mayobi, everyone knows who to choose except the fool!
"The 2008 NBA Draft, the eleventh pick in the first round, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose the guard from Arizona State University, James Harden!"
The trembling voice of David Stern finished, and the whole world changed from extreme noise to extreme silence at this moment.
On the TV, the still cold face paralyzed yes, and the excited James Harden covering his heart, and the excited standing, Mayo with his eyes almost protruding, formed a group of extremely contrasting pictures.
"Yes did not choose Mayo ?!"
Yes, are you stupid? !
James really did n’t expect Mayo to fall into the eleventh overall position, and even more unexpectedly, yes has not yet been chosen!
James is wondering if Yes is stupid, and the other James, covering his heart with his left hand, stretches his subconsciously towards his pp ...
