Chapter 658: Special Guest
"How much?"
Wachovia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
On the side of the commentary, a special guest came today.
"Philadelphia? Belch...... Twenty percent, right......? ”
The baby-faced guest sat between Smith and Barkley, and he didn't look much worse than the two professional players, and the difference in aura was there, but the age was here, which was normal.
"So don't you like our big Philadelphia??"
Barkley's eyes widened, his fat head poked to the side, and his big chubby mouth was about to kiss the guest's face.
"I, I, I...... This ......"
"Okay Charles, it's going to be broadcast live nationwide! Calm down! ”
Smith couldn't laugh at a few words of persuasion, reached out and patted the shoulder of the guest next to him, and smiled kindly: "Leave him alone, he looks like a bird, you know, ha!" ”
"Uh-huh...... I know I know ......"
Hearing the guest's words, Barkley was even more unhappy. Half-jokingly staring at the young man couldn't help but think about it, as if he was about to swallow the opponent on the court, which made people feel tired when they saw it, as if they were eating a big piece of fat.
Stephen Curry, who completed the Cinderella tour of the NCAA, has become one of the hottest stars in college basketball in the United States. He is about to participate in the draft this year and is considered by many to be a super shooter who may be selected at the end of the top 10.
In terms of stats, Curry's last NCAA season is quite inexplicable. The only person who can suppress him in terms of data and ability to lead the team is Blake Griffin, who is almost ironclad.
After the NCAA season, rumors began to circulate that the New York Knicks liked Curry, and Curry himself seemed to have a soft spot for New York.
While the East-West finals are in full swing, another piece of news is also quite interesting:
The 2009 NBA Draft Pick Draw has just ended.
Los Angeles Clippers – The team known as the Los Angeles mascot got the much-anticipated No. 1 pick. If nothing else, Blake Griffin is already in the Clippers' pocket.
At the scene, after the president of the Clippers got the champion sign, he was very excited, and made a "NO1" gesture to the camera. While pulling off one side of the suit. The lining is embroidered with the Clippers' exclusive colorway, and the "23" character is quite prominent underneath the jersey-like style.
On the other hand, the Kings, who had the worst regular season record this season, became temporary losers. Chris Webber, who represented the Kings in the lottery, was out of luck, and the first three picks had nothing to do with the Kings, with the Kings relegating to fourth.
The second and third picks were eventually taken by the Grizzlies and Thunder. Rumor has it that Grizzly wants a big man. Born in ********, the big man Tabit didn't get into basketball until he was 15 years old. has a rough background, and he already has to support his family on his own at a very young age.
After coming into contact with basketball, Tabit showed his ball nature and talent, running and jumping ability, height and arm span and other details, all of which make people infinitely reverie. Some Grizzlies fans have even posted on the Internet that the Grizzlies have a chance to draft the next Olajuwon.
The Thunder, who is in third place, is determined to find an old and spicy player who can control the court and stabilize the rhythm for Westbrook and Kevin Durant, two offensive maniacs.
It's better for this player to also have good defense and a reliable three-point shot. Paired with the big picture, James Harden. Undoubtedly the best candidate for the Thunder.
If Harden is selected, the Thunder will have such a luxurious and seductive horror combination as Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Jeff Green. This youth storm will soon blow across the league, and many people believe that the future of the Thunder is coming soon.
The fourth-place Kings have their sights on the all-around tall backfielder Terrick Evans. The impact is strong. Can young people with gorgeous dribbling and a sense of the ball show their strength in the NBA? Anyway, the king is taking a gamble.
Further down the line, it becomes very interesting.
Fifth pick, Minnesota Timberwolves. Hoarding a bunch of young talent in the post-Garnett era. Among them, Kevin Love has shown star-level potential, especially his frequent substitute performance and poor defense, which reminds many people of the situation when Chen Mu first entered the league a few years ago.
The Timberwolves have a lot of scorers, but the game is chaotic, and they urgently need a genius-level backcourt point guard to coordinate the offense. Today's master Telfer is not bad, but not good enough. If the Timberwolves want to make the playoffs in the future, they need a guy who can thread the needle and have a nimble mind.
It would be great if this guy could also have defensive attributes and a nice steal to build the first line of defense for the Timberwolves from the outside, reducing the defensive pressure on the two defensive colanders of Love and Jefferson on the inside.
To meet these two points, there is Jonny Flynn in the United States, and in the world, the golden boy Ricky Rubio is naturally the best choice.
However, some people believe that Curry, who has three points against the sky with one hand, coupled with steal attributes, as well as a precocious view of the overall situation, and unbelievable passing techniques, is also quite suitable for the Timberwolves. If Curry is selected, the Timberwolves are likely to follow the Suns' run-and-gun route, focusing on full-court offense and defense, and the game is expected to be very good.
It's a pity that Curry's physical confrontation ability is really worrying, and there are too many examples of NCAA super shooters who have not adapted to the soil after entering the NBA. How long has it been since Redick, who went from being a scoring machine at the NCAA all-time level, to a mortal who can't defend, attack, organize, and be tall and weighable?
Adam Morrison, hailed as the next big bird Bird in the NCAA, entered the NBA as a bench mascot. Master Qiao burst into tears again and again, and it is said that whenever someone mentioned Morrison's name during the meal, Master Qiao would pick up a fork and poke it directly.
Will Curry fit in the NBA? Can his amazing three-point shot still be useful in the NBA?
Will he become the next Redick, from an all-around scoring machine to a small pitcher, whose reputation for appearance is higher than his skills?
In 2009, when Redick had not yet become the future Clippers and practiced reliable defense, this argument was still very marketable.
But without thinking about that, Curry is tempting enough. A big-hearted player in a big scene, gorgeous and bewitching on the dribble, quite precocious in the overall situation, and the ball-splitting techniques and skills are in place.
Rubio, Jonny Flynn, Curry.
Three high-quality point guards are in front of the Timberwolves, and everyone is looking forward to what jokes the Timberwolves, who have always been known for their mediocre selections, will make this joke (fog!).
Further on, the competition for the position is more subtle.
The New York Knicks got the No. 6 pick, and if the Timberwolves didn't steal Curry, New York would get their wish and recruit the little man. This seems to be a perfect love story between Cinderella and the down-and-out son, which has made many people excited.
New York's sincerity is enough, and Curry also has a heart, and this match made in heaven may be the key to New York's rise.
However, the Philadelphia 76ers, who were one pick behind New York and used a classic "head-adding" operation to get the Warriors' draft pick, became the big devil in the fairy tale.
The seventh pick, the Philadelphia 76ers, already has a quality point guard Lowry, but has an almost fanatical desire for a three-point shooter.
This is not difficult to see from the ongoing Eastern Conference Finals, if there is a Curry, where will Philadelphia play so hard? Maybe the first trip to the finals in the post-Iverson era will be in hand.
However, New York is like a protagonist with the halo of the protagonist in front of Philadelphia, how can you break the emotional bond between Cinderella and the down-and-out boy? The big devil of Philadelphia is still thinking about countermeasures.
After that, the Timberwolves' second top-10 pick, although the trade has not yet been confirmed, if nothing else, as soon as the summer trade period opens, the long-rumored trade between the Timberwolves and the Wizards will begin.
The Wizards' draft pick position is very good, and what else can the Timberwolves have to gain in this not-so-dazzling, even known as an absolute year? What other CAN initiatives will be made?
Then came the Toronto Raptors, who were the ninth pick, and they needed to find a good helper for Dragon King Bosh, a good player who could control the outside offense. There's a break to open up space for Bosh to throw, there's a pass that can give a subtle assist to a bunch of birds and beasts in Toronto, and there's defense that can take Toronto to the next level.
The Raptors also have a need for backcourt players.
The last Milwaukee Bucks in the top 10 picks, the combination of Reed on the outside and Bogut on the inside is making a difference. It's a pity that the point guard Reedno is diligent and diligent, but his strength is really average. The Bucks also need a backcourt, a point guard, and a good player who can lead the offense and defense.
Can Brandon Jennings, who has played overseas for a year, take this opportunity to make a phoenix?
After the playoffs, the draft will take place, and what will happen before and after?
Will there be a deal that breaks out at the beginning of the trading period?
Although the 2009 draft was not widely favored, the related trades still affected people's hearts.
There is not much time left for a few teams that need good backcourt.
Back to the pitch.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
The game came to the end of the second quarter, Ray Allen's three-point miss, Chen Mu jumped high to pick up the rebound, and Barkley on the side of the commentary table shouted, without any concept of fairness and bottom line.
"The last attack of the half, control the rhythm!"
Sending the ball, Lowry controlled the offensive time, and in the final 14 seconds, Philadelphia had the last chance of the half.
"This way!"
Chen Mu ran past Lowry, took advantage of the situation to make a cover, and then turned around like the wind and rushed to the inside.
Lowry pulled the ball sideways alertly, and after a moment's time, his clear eyes stared at Chen Mu's direction, ready to send a pass at any time.
"You can vote."
On the side of the commentary stage, Curry muttered, which was mixed in the warm atmosphere of the audience, and not many people heard it.
The ball just now can really be thrown......!
Seeing that Rondo stepped forward again after being stopped by Chen Mu, the "big empty three-point opportunity" in Curry's eyes was fleeting.
It's a shame.
Curry shook his head and sighed. (To be continued.) )
