"The Seattle SuperSonics have selected center DeAndrew Jordan from Texas A&M University, and congratulations to this great lad who is bringing his talent to the West Coast!" Stern read the SuperSonics' selection aloud, and the expression on his face was happier than when he read the name of the champion.

I can't help but be happy, the last person in the little green house was finally chosen, he was like a salesman, and now Little Jordan is the last commodity under his hands, of course he is happy to be cleared.

There was a cheer in the small green room, Jordan Jr.'s parents and relatives hugged and celebrated, and a staff member handed over a baseball cap with the Supersonic team LOGO, Jordan Jr. took the baseball cap with a tense face and walked up to the rostrum to shake hands with Stern, and then he took the microphone and said gloomily:

"I don't know what I've been drafted until now, I'm grateful to the manager and manager of the SuperSonics, and I want to congratulate you because you picked the right person, and as for those who underestimated me, I will make them regret it!"

As soon as Little Jordan said this, there was a sudden uproar at the scene, and some famous stars laughed loudly, and in the VIP room of the Supersonic team, Scott and Presti did not look very good: According to their previous understanding, although Little Jordan is short-tempered, he is not a big-mouthed person, why did he suddenly change his personality now?

No way, Jordan Jr. was really stimulated this time, he was invited to the New York Little Green Room before the draft, and was one of the 16 people invited by the NBA to enter the Little Green House, and a month ago, he was still a lottery favorite, even on the eve of the draft, he has hopes of entering the top 20. The final draft results came out, the 24th pick in the first round, turned out to be a god-hating person, what an unacceptable insult for a newcomer with a heart higher than the sky?

But DeAndre Jordan wasn't the worst, there was a Rashad Lewis in front of him, who stayed in the little green room and wasn't selected until 32nd!

The scheduled Ibaka was drafted, and the SuperSonics could only choose Jordan Jr., after all, there was no better center or power forward, and they now had Durant on the outside and Westbrook who had just been drafted, and what they lacked was a pillar that could support the inside, so they put their hopes on Jordan Jr. and decided to take a gamble.

Jordan Jr. has the physicality to grow into a super insider, and now it's up to him to have his mind and ball quotient.

In fact, it is not without warning that Jordan Jr. has fallen to the current pick, there are too many players like him who have a body flow, Swift and Sean May are all jumping men with **** bodies, and they didn't play. Don't go too far, let's just say that before, in the previous 2006 draft, Patrick O'Bryant, who was selected with the ninth pick, and Cel Heaney, the tenth pick, were both first-class in physical fitness, and the results have been scrapped so far.

Interestingly, it was the Warriors who drafted O'Bryant in the first place, so Nelson Sr. refused to gamble after suffering a loss; And Heaney was selected with the tenth pick, but the SuperSonics team who now chose Jordan Jr., it seems that this team has not suffered enough losses, and has even played a gamble.

The Warriors' uniform team was still joking about the SuperSonics, but then with the 30th pick in the first round, the Green Shirts Celtics gave their selection, and as Stern's voice rang out, the Warriors froze: "The Boston Celtics have chosen a two-way guard from Davidson College, Stephen Curry!" ”

Hearing that the Celtics chose him, Curry was so aggrieved that he almost cried: Is there a mistake that he was selected by the Celtics? To know the way, now everyone knows that the Warriors and the Celtics are rivals, and Chamberlain, the new generation of emperors, superstars and the Big Three are rivals, so Curry finds himself drafted by the Celtics, can he be in a good mood?

Pierce laughed stupidly, he had a tragic encounter back then, he was born in Los Angeles, his favorite team since he was a child was the Lakers, and the Green Shirts were the embodiment of the devil in his heart, and he was the opponent that the hero prince had to defeat, who knew that in the draft that year, his favorite Lakers didn't look at him, but the Celtics chose him!

Old Curry was also stunned, little Curry looked at his dad aggrievedly and was about to shed tears, but the situation was unbearable, he could only walk to the rostrum step by step, the staff handed him a Celtics baseball cap, he didn't care at all, the first time he waved his hand directly to refuse, and was later reminded by the staff, he was aggrieved and took it in his hand, and it was not until he stood on the rostrum, there was no way, Curry brought the hat to his head crookedly.

Different from the uproar caused by Jordan Jr.'s speech before, this time the arena was quiet, and everyone was shocked by the attitude shown by Curry Jr.:

Brother, you're going to a championship team, and their core is old, there are so many opportunities, as long as you work hard, you can play - in fact, many teams feel that the Celtics are ****, Curry is a kid they haven't heard of at all, how could the Celtics be willing to use a first-round pick to select him?

The elder Nelson and Mullin and the others were even more confused, and the latter couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, didn't the Bostonians want to pick JR-Giddens?" ”

Everyone knows that the Celtics lack a guard, and because of Ray Allen's age and Rondo's ability, they want to pick a two-way guard, and the player the Celtics have been eyeing was Giddens. Giddens is the other West, unruly and physically aggressive, both offensive and defensive, Giddens's performance in college is impeccable.

The reason why Giddens' defensive position is not favored is because this kid is very withdrawn at a glance with West, is a thorn, and advocates violence. West has a weird personality, but he doesn't fight much, unlike Giddens, who was in trouble in college, got into a fight with someone in a bar near the school, and was stabbed in the shin, for which he transferred from the University of Kansas to the University of New Mexico and took a year off.

Curry reluctantly shook Stern's hand, and then didn't even make a draft speech, simply nodded to everyone in the audience and walked off the court with a dejected face.

Seeing this, everyone in the Celtics team changed color, after all, they are the No. 1 team in the NBA, and they just won the championship, in their opinion, the Celtics should be a giant team that rookies are vying to join, but Curry's performance is equivalent to giving them a slap in the face, clearly telling them that Lao Tzu is very resistant to joining your team!

When Stern announced that the Celtics had drafted Curry, Chamberlain took off his suit directly, and he pushed open the door and walked out of the house with a blushing face, and the old Nelson was also dumbfounded, and had no time to comfort Chamberlain, so he could only order Billups and West to chase after him to appease his emotions.

Nelson Sr. knows very well that Chamberlain is only 19 years old and just a kid in terms of personality, and Curry is the playmate that the team swore to find him, but now that his playmate has flew, how can he be happy?

Because of the old Curry, Chamberlain and Curry Jr. often play together, he is already familiar with Curry Jr.'s ability, this guy is an excellent two-way guard, strong scoring ability, and first-class organization passing, plus age, it is really a good choice to match him.

Billups is good, but there is a difference of more than ten years between the two, relatively speaking, Billups is Chamberlain's eldest brother, not his brother, Curry Jr. and West are, especially Curry, Curry is a year younger than him.

Nelson Sr. hurriedly asked the assistant coach to get through to Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, and he asked bluntly, "I want that rookie in your hands and tell me what price I need to pay." ”

In the box on the other side, Danny Ainge was full of smugness, and he said leisurely: "I'm sorry, we didn't select Stephen Curry for trade, he is the piece of our puzzle, you know, our team is aging badly, and we need a good rookie to replenish the blood." ”

By this time, the first-round draft had ended, Stern was starting to retire, and NBA Vice President Stu Jackson took his place and began to announce the roster of second-round rookies.

Old Nelson frowned, the old man is also an NBA old bastard, compared to him, although Angie is smart but inexperienced, the old man snorted coldly: "Danny, Danny, Danny, don't be strong, Curry Jr. won't fit into your team, you know this very well, in addition, you have to figure it out, the second round of the draft has begun, if you don't make a choice, then wait to be abused by your fans." ”

"You guys help us select JR-Giddens first, and then we'll talk about the terms later." Angie thought about it for a moment and had to make concessions, yes, a petite guard like Stephen Curry and a poor defense was never a Celtics thing, they needed a tough guy with a strong style who could take on the task of helping the Green Shirts return to peak glory, like JR Giddens.

Old Nelson didn't let go, and said toughly: "Believe it or not, our team defenders now have Chauncey and Delonti, and the defenders are dispensable for us, not to mention that he is still a player who shouldn't be in the first round at all - say your conditions, otherwise I will continue to strengthen our team!" ”

He saw Danny Angie's shortcomings, that is, as the general manager of a dynastic team like the Green Shirts, Angie has a lot of pressure, there are many rules in big teams, and it is not up to him to choose a player at all, Nelson Sr. is sure that Aangie chose Curry just to rob the Warriors, if he really chooses Curry and brings back to the Celtics, then the old guys in Boston can burn him with cigars.

Curry doesn't have much reputation now, unlike JR Giddens, who has already won the United States, and if it weren't for his character flaws, Giddens would have been able to enter the Little Green House.

With West's example, teams are gearing up to pick a player with great ability but a flawed personality, and they believe that since even a weird guy like West can turn back, what's impossible?

The Green Shirts are especially confident because their leader is Pierce, and Pierce is a fierce man who has been stabbed more than a dozen times without any trouble, and Giddens has only been stabbed once, which is nothing at all.

The Timberwolves, who had the No. 1 pick in the second round, selected Serbian center Nikola Pekovic, a rare orthodox center in his age.

But there is no doubt that Pekovic is a second-round pick, and if it weren't for the fact that he is not an American, then he should also be in the Little Green House, and he has too many advantages:

He is 6'11 tall and weighs 290 pounds, which is an impressive tonnage. He's a true pure No. 5 with height, strength, and a strong sense of position under the basket, and can attack from close to the basket with both left and right hands. In addition, unlike the typical European insiders, almost all white insiders will have a "one-hand-shot" attribute. And Peco didn't even think about shooting outside the basket, and he didn't even think about three-point shooting - if this is one of the manifestations of a pure center, then Peco is indeed a pure center that is about to disappear in today's league.

Pekovic's under-the-basket offense is what he deserves the most attention, and thanks to his height and size, it's not easy to shake his rock-solid finish. At the same time, his positional sense and feel near the basket are excellent, as long as he stands deep enough and has the ball in his hand, Peco can convert almost all shots into points - either a direct hit or a foul on the opponent, if he doesn't score, grab a frontcourt rebound and do it again - his solid physique and dexterous various shots can complete the offense from any angle under the basket.

In addition, he is very active in rebounding and good at using his body to get stuck in advantageous positions, and all in all, he is the kind of traditional center that has become rare in the league.

After the Timberwolves, the draft pick is the Warriors, and Danny Ainge finally can't sit still, and he is still a little worse than Nelson Sr.

Looking at Giddens, who was waiting anxiously, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want your two second-round picks......"

Old Nelson happily agreed: "No problem, who are you going to choose?" ”

"Giddens and ......"

"No problem!"
