Chapter 426: Jimmy Jordan!

The fifth day after the Orlando Magic won the parade, Madison Square Garden Theater, New York.
The NBA's focus and hot topics are no longer the newly won Sun Zhuo and the Orlando Magic. The past has become history. People still prefer to look forward to the future. Those that haven't happened, that will happen, are more exciting. .
On June 28th, the Madison Square Garden Theater in New York is about to conduct the 2007 draft conference. This year's draft conference is highly anticipated because of one person, Greg Oden!
At the scene of the Draft Conference Theater, these newcomers who are about to become NBA players in the draft have been seated. Numerous spectators on the scene are watching behind, almost full of seats, and most of them look at one person. That person is the Olympics. Board.
"Greg Oden is finally coming to the NBA! I can’t believe how earth-shaking changes he will bring to the NBA! Magic has begun to establish a dynasty, Sun will soon find no opponents in the league, I am afraid that only Greg Oden can stop in the future He is gone!"
"Bagnani should be thankful that if it were not for the NBA's age restrictions, he would definitely not be the No. 1 pick last year!"
"Oh, OJ Mayo can also breathe a sigh of relief. He is currently the most powerful high school student in the United States. He has a promising future. His future achievements should be above LeBron. He can even compare with Sun! But I am sorry, when he meets Oden, he Still have to be second!"
"Yeah, hearing the news that Oden is in the draft, he can finally be sure that he will be picked up by the first player next year."
The audience at the scene, from time to time, everyone's comments came, and the No. 1 champion Oden was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.
Oden is indeed well-known. When he was in his second year of high school, he was considered to be the No. 1 pick in any draft in the next year. You know, only one person in history has received such praise. , Four times dominating NCAA's Jabal!
At that time, it was not popular for high school students to participate in the draft. In the first year, Jabal conquered everyone and let everyone shout in the next four years. As long as he participates in the draft, he can become the champion at any time, even the arrogant James. No one has received such a high evaluation, let alone Sun Zhuo.
Receiving the most attention from the audience, Oden was not nervous and sat very calmly in his seat. Under 20 years old, he looked as mature and stable as 30 years old.
At this moment, a black man suddenly sat in the round table position of Oden, which attracted Oden’s attention. The black man sitting opposite Oden looked like he was about 20 years old. It's almost big. Of course, this black man looks younger and more handsome. He is very temperamental in black, and at first glance, it feels a bit like Michael Jordan.
After the black man sat down, he looked at Oden like this and didn't speak. His eyes were calm like water.
"He also looks tall, and he should have come to the draft. He has never seen it before. Shouldn't he be an American?" Oden carefully looked at the strange black man. He felt that this person was at least 195cm tall. And there are a lot of rookies on the scene, from all countries, except for his little friend Mike Conley, Oden does not know so many other people.
"Do you speak English? Boy, why are you sitting here? My son doesn't seem to know you, you should go back to your seat." Before Oden spoke, Oden's mother sitting next to him The black man asked.
Oden’s mother wanted to drive him away, but Oden said:
It’s okay, mother, maybe he just wants to see me take the No. 1 pick in the nearest position.

Oden's mother also smiled. Is the person in front of him a competitor of Oden? Ha ha, it's really persistent. I have been fighting since the draft, but our son is known as a combination of "four centers"!
"Boy, let me introduce you, this one in front of you, my son, he's called ODEN, maybe you have heard of this name, but you probably don't understand the meaning of this name, O..." Oden's mother said lightly.
Unexpectedly, the black man who was silent after sitting down suddenly said in fluent English: "O is (Olajuwon), D is Duncan (Duncan), E is Ewing (Ewing), N is O'Neal."
After talking about this, the black man smiled faintly at Oden. The domineering name of the combination of the four centers would be intimidating to anyone who heard it. But when the black man looked at Oden, he didn’t feel that way, but felt a little bit In ridicule.
"Haha, you know. Child, if you want, keep sitting here." Oden's mother said nothing more.
At this time, Oden felt that the black man in front of him was a bit unusual. Oden was famous for a while. This black man, regardless of his strength, could have such a strong aura, which has been appreciated by Oden.
"Hello, my name is Greg Oden, can you know your name?" Oden extended his hand.
The black man stretched his hand a little slower than Oden thought and smiled: "My name is Jimmy Jordan."
In the auditorium not too far from here, a 15-year-old boy curiously said to himself: "Isn't the man shaking hands with Greg Oden not the brother who was sitting in the seat next to me? How to run there? went?"
In addition to Oden, Kevin Durant and his family also came to the scene. He is the most concerned rookie besides Oden and is considered to be the next McGrady.
However, sitting in the seat, Durant was in a trance, always looking at an ESPN reporter holding a microphone from time to time, and as soon as he saw the beautiful reporter, he kept drinking.
"Kristin Ledro, she turned out to be an ESPN reporter... she became more and more beautiful, and she became more and more female... when she first saw her three years ago, she was still a little girl It’s great, she joined ESPN, I joined the NBA, what will happen to the two of us..." Durant looked at Christian Lederlow, now 18, obsessively. .
Ledro looks sweet, youthful and charming, which is in line with the tastes of these newcomers in the draft, and they are also about their age. Even Oden and Jimmy Jordan can't help but glance at Ledro. Oden just glanced at it. Instead of paying attention, Jimmy Jordan, who was cooler than him, looked at the girl more.
"Hey, old man, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are much fatter than before, haha."
Behind Oden’s desk, there were two middle-aged men greeting him. Oden also glanced at him. He recognized one of them, named Dell Curry, a famous shooter in the 1990s.
"It seems that his son Stephen Curry has come to participate in this year's draft." Oden not only recognized Dell Curry, but also knew that he had a son named Stephen Curry.
Curry is a freshman student at Davidson College. In his freshman season, he averaged 23 points per game and became the best rookie and scoring leader in the SEC league, and broke the freshman three-point record.
Stephen Curry is also on the scene now, and has long decided to participate in the draft this year, even if everyone around him is persuading him not to do so, because he still looks like a high school student.
"God bless me, I can definitely enter the team of my dreams. I will definitely make some achievements in the NBA. I am as old as Greg Oden and Kevin Durant. At the same age, my training is only There will be more than them, no less than them, they can enter the NBA at this age, I can do the same!"
Curry cheered himself up, but suddenly found a pair of eyes staring at him. Curry glanced at him and said with emotion: "This man is so handsome, shouldn't he be Oden's brother?"
Similarly, Yi Jianlian, highly anticipated by Chinese fans, is also on the scene. He has received more attention than his previous life, because now the NBA is ruled by a Chinese.
Soon, David Stern took the stage and began to announce: "The Portland Trail Blazers selected the first overall pick in the first round...Greg Oden from Ohio State University!"
There is no suspense, no one can compete with Oden for the first place, and the Trail Blazers management has been ecstatic. Since winning the first lottery, there are countless teams who want to get Oden through a deal. The Celtics even traded Paul Pierce, and Garnett was even on the list, but the Trail Blazers refused even if they didn’t think about it, and let out the words. Only when they brought out players such as Sun Zhuo or James Consider giving up Oden!
With the joining of Oden, the NBA is believed to directly threaten Sun Zhuo’s dominance in the league. Although Oden is still young, the Blazers will definitely become a strong champion in the championship under his leadership. team!
Compared to the No. 1 pick Oden, the next spotlight is not so exciting.
Kevin Durant was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the second round of the first round. At this time, Ray Allen was still in the Supersonics team. After the Supersonics selected Durant, there was a lot of talk on the spot. Sound, saying that the supersonic will send away Ray Allen, just joined the supersonic, forced Ray Allen away, Durant's shock is also extraordinary.
The Hawks chose Al Horford in the third pick, followed by the Grizzlies with Mike Conley, and the Celtics chose Jeff Green.
The Milwaukee Bucks selected Yi Jianlian from China in the seventh round of the first round, causing a lot of sensation on the spot.
"Another Chinese joins the NBA! I have seen Yi's video. He is very athletic and has excellent midrange shooting. His abilities and skills are absolutely NBA-level!"
"The Chinese always like to be mysterious, not to show their abilities, and I don't know if Yi will do the same. If Yi also has hidden abilities, then the first few teams regretted their death. I think they should bet on them. "
After that, the Bulls chose Joe Kinoa in the ninth pick, and the Wizards chose Nick Young in the 16th pick. These are not surprising, but when the Golden State Warriors picked the 18th pick. There was some commotion on the scene.
"The Golden State Warriors took the 18th pick in the first round and chose Stephen Curry from Davidson College." David Stern still calmly said on stage.
Stephen Curry hugged his parents tightly, he was really selected, and in the first round, although not the top few, but this is enough, he went to his dream team, the Warriors, that is the most suitable His team.
Curry put on a hat and went to the stage. When people saw that it was such a young and thin guy, they were worried.
"This kid doesn't look like an adult? Is he sure to be the same age as Oden?"
"Hey, don't underestimate him. He is the son of Dell Curry. The three-point shot is accurate. I have watched his game, but he is really thin. I think he should have spent more two years in college. It must be anxious to participate in the draft like Oden."
"I'm not optimistic that he can make a foothold in the NBA, but the Golden State Warriors are a wonderful team, and their three-point shooting is their specialty. From this point of view, the Warriors' choice of Curry is acceptable."
Curry walked onto the stage and shook hands with David Stern. From the scene's reaction and even David Stern's perfunctory smile, Curry could feel that everyone was not optimistic about him.
"Time will prove everything! Time will prove that I can also be a superstar!" Curry forbeared his inner sourness and pressed his smile to face the camera.
Soon, it was the second round.
"Sun! Sun! Sun!"
The scene actually called up "Sun" frantically. I don't know if I was calling Sun Zhuo. Actually not. Everyone called another Chinese player, Sun Yue.
In addition to Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue also participated in this year's draft and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 40th pick.
Sun Yue was a little embarrassed after listening to the cry of the audience. He knew that everyone was not calling himself.
"Haha, another grandson came to the NBA and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers. This coincidence is not often encountered."
"I see Chinese players now and think they are so good. Even if he is a second-round pick, I think his achievements will be very high. This grandson is even taller than Eric grandson, and he has better dribbling and good bounce. Ah, I don’t know if the Lakers found the treasure again."
"I guess Kobe's mood will be very entangled. On the one hand, I hope this Sun Yue will not be too bad, but I don't want him to be too strong, haha."
Although Sun Zhuo was not at the scene, it seemed that Sun Zhuo was the most mentioned name~EbookFREE.me~ Soon, it was Orlando's turn to choose.
David Stern: "The Orlando Magic selected 44th overall in the second round...Mark Gasol."
"Marc Gasol? I heard that it was Paul Gasol's younger brother. Did the Magic choose a center to prepare to replace Dwight Howard? I don't know if Dwight Howard was traded during this offseason. ."
Soon, the 2007 draft was over.
"You lost?" Oden suddenly asked Jimmy Jordan across from him.
Throughout the game, Oden had not heard David Stern's name Jimmy Jordan.
"No, I didn't participate in the draft." Jimmy Jordan said lightly.
Oden questioned: "Oh? Why? You shouldn't look weak."
Jimmy Jordan smiled and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to participate, you are not the champion."
