Chapter 348: 2003 NBA Draft, Platinum Generation 1

　　 Actually, there is more than one Pistons optimistic about Darko Milicic.
　　 As an 18-year-old Serbia and Montenegro player, Milicic, who has started an independent life at the age of 14, has long been known as a genius player.
　　 This genius boy from the former Yugoslavia, his father participated in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, when he was a child, he was almost raised by his mother's hard work.
　　 was recruited into the local team at the age of 14 and started a boarding independent life.
　　 In order to make Milicic play smoothly, his mother turned the seller to buy back a cow, so that he could drink milk while training hard, without delaying his body growth.
　　 At that time, he was training in a dilapidated basketball hall, and NATO bombers were flying in the sky.
　　 After seeing too much poverty, backwardness and war, he wanted to follow the example of Divac and Stojakovic, embarking on the path of NBA professional players and making big money for his family.
　　 After participating in many trials in the NBA, his performance surprised many scouts watching the game.
　　He is an all-around player with flexible footwork and capable of inside and outside.
　　 This is the evaluation recognized by most scouts.
　　Although his body is still relatively thin, his dribbling, passing, and fixed-point jumpers are enough to allow him to switch back and forth between the center and forward positions and cope with it freely.
　　 Before the draft officially began, many NBA teams coveted him.
　　 In addition to the Pistons, the Mavericks and Jazz are eager to get this big man from Europe.
　　 Jazz scout Dar Sheen said: "If he has the No. 1 pick, he will not hesitate to choose Milicic instead of James."
　　 Compared with James, Milicic has better abilities and more positions on the court.
　　He can play center, power forward and small forward.
　　 The Mavericks, who are keen on the international market, are also very optimistic about this young man from Serbia and Montenegro.
　　 Old Nelson said: "His size, physique, speed, dexterity and strength are amazing. If you want a center or power forward, then Darko Milicic is definitely your best choice."
　　......
　　 The Pistons chose Milicic to make the Denver Nuggets ecstatic with the third overall pick.
　　 They didn't need to think at all, and they chose Carmelo Anthony, who has various offensive methods and super scoring ability.
　　 On May 29, 1984, Anthony was born in the Red Hook residential area in Brooklyn, New York City. His father is Puerto Rican and his mother Mary is African American.
　　 Anthony has been passionate about basketball since he was 8 years old, and began to play with kids several years older than him.
　　 Although he is much shorter than other kids, he can always use fake moves and time difference to get the ball into the basket.
　　 In middle school, Anthony participated in the American Basketball Youth Development Festival. He led the Eastern Army to win the silver medal.
　　 He shot 66% from the field and averaged 24 points per game, tied for first place with LeBron James.
　　 After exceeding the minimum score by 1 point, Anthony successfully entered Syracuse University and became a member of the school’s basketball team.
　　 In college, Anthony led Syracuse University to a record of 30 wins and 5 losses, set a school history record, and won the first NCAA championship in school history.
　　 In the selection, Anthony was unanimously elected the NCAA Rookie of the Year.
　　 He was also selected to the first team of the Big East team, and was voted the Big East Rookie of the Year.
　　 This is also the reason why Anthony and James can be called "double pride".
　　Although the Nuggets are very happy to be able to draft Anthony, Anthony does not want to go to Denver.
　　 He even begged the Nuggets not to choose himself after the Pistons drafted Milicic, but the Nuggets still had no hesitation.
　　 Anthony told the coach that he wanted to stay in school, but the coach told him that he was very satisfied with the NCAA championship.
　　 Anthony, who has no retreat, can only join the Nuggets.
　　......
　　 The Pistons' unexpected show operation had a chain reaction.
　　 The Toronto Raptors also immediately accepted the gift.
　　 They selected Chris Bosh, the college star of Georgia Institute of Technology who was considered to be selected in the top three with the fourth overall pick.
　　 Unlike James and Anthony, Bosh's success cannot be separated from his parents' early training.
　　 His father Noel is a construction engineer, and his mother Freda is a computer system analyst.
　　 A good background gave Bosh a very good growth environment.
　　Because the young Bosh was very active, he was sent by his parents to learn karate and gymnastics classes with excellent athletic talent, and he performed very well in both sports.
　　 His father installed a basket on the bedroom door, allowing Bosh to show off his athletic talent.
　　 It didn't take long for Bosh to accidentally smash the door while dunking.
　　 This made his father had to install a simple basketball hoop for Bosh in the backyard.
　　 Bosh has a strong learning ability while improving his basketball skills.
　　 He is one of the top students in the school. His dual strength in study and physical education has made Bosh much appreciated by his teachers and classmates.
Like Shentong’s parents, Bosh’s parents are also very aware of the primary and secondary points of reading and basketball. Once Bosh’s test scores are not satisfactory, then Noel and Freda will sound the alarm for him and warn him regardless of basketball You must ensure that you can read the book well if you play well.
　　 In high school, Bosh's talent in basketball gradually realized, his rapid progress, quickly became the team's starter, and then became the best player in the team.
　　 At the same time, Bosh's academic studies are still outstanding. He scored high in the standard subject examinations and became a member of the National Honor Society. In the eyes of his classmates, he is simply an omnipotent genius.
　　 Science, mathematics, website construction and more basic graphic design are all outstanding among his peers. Before Bosh decided to make basketball a career, he once dreamed of becoming an artist.
　　 Kevin Garnett is the idol of Bosh, who is only 15 years old.
He often watched the "Wolf King" game to imitate his footsteps, fake moves and offensive methods. When Bosh received the ball in the penalty area, his opponents often did not know what offensive method he would choose. It is not easy for children as young as 15 years old.
　　 In the final year of high school, Bosh led Lincoln High School to a 40-0 record and won the state championship.
　　 In this year, Bosh averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds per game, so he was also elected "Mr. Basketball" in Texas.
　　 Entering college, Bosh's progress was even more unexpected than he himself.
　　 In the first NCAA game, Bosh scored 26 points.
　　 Throughout the season, Bosh averaged 15.9 points and 9 rebounds per game. He also ranked first in field goal percentage and blocked shots per game (NCAA Atlantic Division).
　　 After the freshman season, under the advice of his teacher Hewitt, Bosh did not give up the opportunity to become the top five pick in the NBA and chose to join the NBA in advance.
　　 Facts have proved that his decision is correct.
　　The Toronto Raptors are very satisfied with the fourth overall pick to Bosh.
　　......
　　 The Miami Heat made their fifth appearance. They hesitated a bit and chose Dwyane Wade from Marquette University.
　　 Like James and Anthony, Wade grew up in a slum in his childhood.
　　 When he was very young, his parents divorced.
　　 Wade grew up in Chicago, so he admires the superstar Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls very much.
　　 Actually, there is another very interesting story about Wade’s name.

　　 In high school, Wade didn't start very well.
Although 　　 is a member of the school team, he didn't get much playing time.
　　 His brother Mike Daniel is the star player of this team.

　　 However, the Heat finally made up their minds and decided to bring Wade to Miami.
　　......
　　 The Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 6 pick selected a white center, 2.13 meters tall Chris Kaman.
　　 Don't look at Kaman in the small green house being polite, but in fact, when he was a child, Kaman was a complete villain.
　　 Kaman was diagnosed with ADHD when he was two and a half years old.
　　 When he got older, his ADHD symptoms began to show gradually.
　　 Either the neighbor’s bicycle is placed on the train track, or he often climbs on the roof of other people’s home, or uses pebbles to attack others behind.
　　 In order to treat Kaman ADHD, in addition to receiving medication, Kaman’s parents also let Kaman use exercise to vent his excess energy and vitality.
　　Kaman chose basketball.
　　 During the basketball game, Kaman's condition gradually improved. By the time he was in college, he had got rid of the troubles of ADHD and became a completely normal person.
　　Kaman is a tough white center. The Clippers hope he can support the Clippers inside with "Captain" Brand.
　　......
　　 The Chicago Bulls, with the seventh overall pick, chose Kansas guard Kirk Hinrich.
　　 Hinrich inherited his father's basketball talent, and with his extraordinary talent and hard training, he became a leader in the high school team.
　　 In the season of high school, Hinrich scored 25 points in the final, leading the team to taste the taste of a state championship for the first time.
　　 Hinrich's perfect performance that season also allowed the residents of the small town to taste the taste of a state championship for the first time in 65 years.
　　 As a high school student, Hinrich also represented the United States in the World Youth Men's Basketball Championship in Moscow in 1998, and helped the United States team against Greece, Russia, Croatia and other strong teams to win the championship with an undefeated record.
　　 After entering the University of Kansas, Hinrich quickly became the team's starting point guard.
　　 In the team's last thirteen games, Hinrich, who became the starter, shot more than 40% of his three-pointers and made the University of Kansas' offense seem smoother.
　　 He scored 123 assists throughout the season, the fourth highest among all rookies in the history of this famous university.
　　 By the sophomore year, Hinrich is already an indispensable core player for the team, and his terrifying 50.5% three-point shooting rate has also rewritten the school history record.
　　 This season, Hinrich has spent more time in the gym than before. He has also used sweat to gain 15 pounds of muscle.
　　 After announcing his participation in the draft, experts generally believed that Hinrich would be selected in the first round, but because of the rookie talent in this year, it is not certain that he can enter the lottery. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
However, just a week before the start of the draft, the second pick of the Chicago Bulls in 2002, Jie Williams, suffered a car accident and will not be able to play for a long time in the future. So the Bulls tried to fill Williams. Contacted Hinrich’s agent and told him that he would pick Hinrich in the seventh overall.
　　 Being able to be selected by the favorite team with such a high pick, Hinrich was very excited, and he went to Las Vegas to celebrate with friends, and looked forward to his rookie season with full expectation.
　　 So, I would rather go gambling than drag racing.
