"The 2009 NBA Draft, start now!"

“FINALLY！”

Amid cheers and applause, Stern stood behind the small stage in the center of the stage, as he had done for many years, with the current teams on the big screen behind him.

The first pick in the first round, which is often referred to as the No. 1 pick, belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers.

For many years, the Clippers, one of the "two heroes" in Los Angeles, have never been able to "win".

Under the pressure of the Lakers' glorious history, the Clippers are like a poor imitator in Los Angeles, imitating Big Brother's every move, wanting to become a celebrity like Big Brother. It's a pity that the tiger can't be an anti-dog, no matter how the Clippers operate and how hard they try, they have never been able to get the favor of Lady Luck.

The Clippers once assembled a fairly combative team a few seasons ago. Captain Brand on the inside, with the long-haired man Carman, all kinds of restricted area games, the level is good, both offensive and defensive, both of them have a certain amount of mid-distance ability - Brand's mid-distance ability is even more master.

On the outside flank, there are foul makers like Margety, and their upper limbs are strong like sculptures. The two old demons on the back line, Cassel and Mobley, also have their own characteristics, playing their own light and heat in Los Angeles.

At that time, the Clippers had the strength to reach the Western Conference semifinals or even the Western Conference finals in the West, which began to gradually decline. It's a pity that in those years, although the strength of the west was so much worse than before, it was still a strong player. The Clippers have never been able to cross the last hurdle and fail to step into the hall of competition for the highest honors.

And the Clippers, who had a good strength, quickly became everyone's memory, and did not survive for a long time, but began to fall apart after a season or two.

Now. In the 2009 draft, the Clippers got the No. 1 pick. Although Xiao Nian is a small year, Blake Griffin, the champion candidate who can barely beat this year, is an unborn genius. Not to mention his all-round strength, just to say that his explosive and exciting style of play is enough to make the Clippers excited.

With Griffin's violent dunk. Maybe in a few years, the Clippers can also become a real basketball scene in Los Angeles, and they can attract die-hard fans who really belong to the Clippers!

The second pick in the first round belongs to the Memphis Grizzlies.

After acquiring Pau Gasol, the Grizzlies once had the strength to enter the Western Conference playoffs. But the time is also fate, the Grizzlies relied on the veteran coach's wonderful ten-man rotation style to "submit" the famous but difficult to discipline White Chocolate Williams, and let him compete in the playoffs with Gasol, but every time he swallowed zero eggs. If you can't get a victory, you will be swept out.

Now that he has sent away Pau Gasol, that deal that can be called a robbery has made many people shout that the Grizzlies must be the trumpet of the Lakers, raising an All-Star interior for the Lakers, and then sending it away seemingly casually.

However, in that transaction, Gasol Jr., who was considered by many to be an addition, became one of the reasons for the Grizzlies' qualitative change in the future. But that's another story. Leave it at ease.

This time, the Grizzlies got the list of the Grizzlies. It is said that the aim is to select a big center. Even if Gasol Jr. has come to the NBA in the future, the Grizzlies' management obviously still believes in traditional basketball ideas.

It's the big guy who can dominate the pitch.

With Conley on the outside, he even let the Grizzlies send away a potential stock like Lowry. Now Lowry is not playing well in Philadelphia, but he has made a name for himself. I wonder if the grizzly bear will regret it?

Anyway, this year's list has gone viral that the Grizzlies have taken a fancy to the big man Hashem Tabit. This center with perfect size has the potential to become a super defensive center. His style of course. It makes many people think of Mutombo.

If Tabit could actually be Mutombo, the Grizzlies would have a combination of Tabit and Gasol Jr., which looks like a thick one.

And this time the coincidence of the Grizzlies and Clippers' first two picks, as well as the positions of the players they want to choose, has sparked another discussion:

In the middle of last season, Zach Randolph, the No. 4 singles maniac on the interior was brought in from the New York Knicks, and now the Clippers are going to pick a power forward...... Where will Randolph go from here?

Rumor has it that the Grizzlies want to take Randolph.

So, what level of interior depth will the Grizzlies reach?

Randolph, who has always been considered a black hole in the stadium and has been complained about by many people, can he be reborn in Grizzly Nirvana? ?

In addition, according to the law of "the top spot must be one of the water" for many years, and the "list curse" law that is almost universally known in the NBA, who will be the first two young players selected this year?

The third pick in the first round, also known as the scouting pick, was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who just changed their name last season.

It is said that they will take James Harden, the leading guard from the Phoenix Suns. With Harden, the Thunder will form a terrifying talent combination of Durant, Westbrook, Jeff Green, and James Harden. When will this team rise? At what point will it shake the league? A lot of people are looking forward to it.

The fourth pick was taken by the Sacramento Kings.

Behind the Kings is the Philadelphia 76ers.

"It's not New York that threatens us right now."

Sitting next to Chen Mu, Stefansky said to Chen Mu: "New York has been trampled under our feet, don't worry about them...... Hi! Hello, Isaiah! Long time no see! …… Hahahaha, yes, yes, we have a choice...... Well? Yes......?? Eh, don't stare at it! You're a smiling assassin, if you don't smile, it's not scary, hehehehe~"

That's a bargain......!!!

Chen Mu was sitting next to him, and he was about to commit embarrassment. Su Yin was laughing and trembling, causing many men around her to drool.

came to Philadelphia a day in advance, and Su Yin, who received Chen Mu's invitation, did still have some expectations for an occasion like the draft conference. Now that she is a qualified fan, under Chen Mu's introduction, she probably understood what happened.

No wonder Stefansky laughed so happily when he saw Stefansky "teasing" Thomas at this time.

"Now, let's move on."

After Stefansky's teasing, he continued to say to Chen Mu: "Who are the top three to choose, I just walked around and greeted him, and I probably know it in my heart." Curry is not a problem staying fourth, the problem is with the Kings. ”

"Oh......? How so? Chen Mu asked.

"The Kings want a guard, a point guard, the kind of offensive arrow that can control the team's offense, that can handle everything. Their lineup is a bit scattered, there is no absolute strong point, and they need a point guard who can launch their own offense and control the game to lead the team. ”

Stefansky said: "There are a lot of point guards in this class, but Rubio is a pure passer, and his personal attack is lacking; Jonny Flynn was okay on both sides, but neither side was strong enough; Jennings, Holiday , Lawson, Teague, Meno, Collisson and Boibis are either not strong enough to be worthy of the No. 4 pick for the time being, or they have obvious flaws. ”

"At the end of the day, the only candidates who can satisfy both offense and organization are Tyrek Evans and Curry."

"Hmm...... Originally, Harden was quite suitable for the Kings. Chen Mu nodded.

"The Thunder won't miss it!" Stefansky said: "I am afraid that the king will cut off his beard, and if nothing else, I know Isaiah's temper, and I may be able to interfere with it." ”

"The draft has already begun, what else can I do?"

Su Yin listened beside him, pondering in his heart, puzzled for a while, and asked with a wink.

"You can't choose the draft, you can trade it afterwards!"

Halfway through Stefansky's answer, suddenly the afterglow swept to Isaiah Thomas, who had already walked to the guest area of the Kings, not knowing what he was talking about, and suddenly became a little anxious in his heart, frowning and saying, "Did you see it, did you see it!" I knew he was going to do it! ”

"Brother Mu, what kind of abacus is it??" After all, Xiao Nizi just graduated from school and has no social experience, so she still can't understand the situation.

"Ha, it's normal that you don't understand, you've never been in contact with it!"

Chen Mu smiled and patiently explained: "That's the case, although it is impossible for New York to choose Curry, New York can help the King choose the person they want." ”

"For example, if the Kings want Evans, then Thomas goes and tells the Kings' people and says, 'You guys help me pick Curry, I'll pick Evans for you, and then the draft is over, and we're going to trade right away and take what we need.'" If you don't want to, I can add cash, add a head, or something! ’”

“…… You can still do this! ”

Xiao Nizi nodded heavily after listening, she didn't expect that this seemingly simple draft conference could have such a doorway.

"It's not complicated, it can only be said to be a small means to make a fuss, and there are many more and more complex means."

Chen Mu said with a smile: "At the draft meeting, don't look at the laughter and laughter, but everyone is smiling, everyone is a competitor, and no one will really give anyone a hand!" ”

"It turns out that I have changed to the No. 5 pick, and I still can't guarantee that Curry will be selected, and I have seen it for a long time!"

Su Yin nodded, her small mouth pursed, and she seriously understood and thought, which made Chen Mu's heart flutter.

At this time, after Stern's messy opening remarks, the draft roster began to be announced.

"The first pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Clippers, selected the University of Oklahoma...... Blake Griffin! ”

“YEAH！！！”

Amid cheers and applause, Griffin took the stage, shook hands with Stern for a photo, took the Clippers' team hat and put it on.

At the same time, the conversation between Thomas and the Kings is also coming to an end, and it is still too late to change the draft pick.

In that area of the Kings, several bigwigs turned their heads and looked at the 76ers' block with serious eyes.

The invisible firelight shines in the air, and the atmosphere of the scene is suffocating. (To be continued.) )

PS: Looking back now, the 2009 draft actually has a pretty good success rate, at least much better than the young years that were considered to be before the draft began!
