The whole league knows that the Warriors want to strengthen the depth of the interior, and there is no doubt that Jordan, who is now closed in a small green room, is a good choice, and Jordan Jr. also knows this, and he knows that Chamberlain and Nelson Sr. have been to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and he has been involved in the whole game.

Chamberlain didn't expect Little Jordan to fall to this point, you must know that before the draft, he has been fired as one of the top ten rookies, but he has not been selected until the twentieth place!

Until March Madness in the NCAA, Jordan Jr. was highly regarded for his draft picks, he was physically and passionately playing, and in this era of scarcity of quality interior players, he was undoubtedly the kind of player that any team in need of a center could only dream of.

But later, when Jordan Jr.'s Texas A&M University played against Kevin Love's UCLA, the former was blown up by the latter, and his performance was very substandard, not only scoring an unprecedented single digit, but also encountering four big hats of Lefou! You must know that Lefu is slow, slow to move sideways, and has poor ability to supplement and assist defense, and is a well-known defensive sieve, and in the face of Lefu can eat four hats, it is very clear how poor Little Jordan's offensive level is.

In the next few games, Jordan Jr. was beaten by the opponent in the opposite position, and later many teams invited him to tryout, in the trial game, Jordan Jr. was still beaten by the opponent in the opposite position, although he has outstanding physical fitness, but whether it is offensive or defensive, it is too poor.

Previously, some teams wanted Jordan Jr. to play against Chamberlain, and they didn't need him to attack well, as long as he could defend most of the interior. But after the trial, these teams found that Little Jordan has no brains, the ball quotient is too poor, and the NBA's insiders can shake him away with a fake move, so relying on him to deal with Chamberlain, that's just nonsense - you must know that Chamberlain can not only dunk violently in the restricted area, but now his feints are extremely realistic, and Garnett, Duncan, Yao Ming and Howard, these top insiders have suffered his losses at this point.

There are many reasons for the emergence of this scene, that is, Jordan Jr., who was once the favorite in the draft, has now become a commodity that no one has taken over.

Many people think that the Warriors represented by Nelson Sr. will not hesitate to win Jordan Jr., because before the draft, Nelson Sr. expressed his love and appreciation for Jordan Jr. in public many times, and even once in an interview with ESPN, Nelson Sr. also said:

"He's an exciting big man, he's got a rare amount of explosiveness and physicality among players who're almost seven feet tall, and he has a lot of potential to keep going. He's got a big frame, and if you keep adding a few muscles to the top of the ball, you can completely dominate both ends of the floor, just like Z, and I can't be mistaken. Although he is still only a college student, he has an advantage over NBA players in terms of height, weight and explosiveness, and he can definitely be a feared blocker for opposing players if he wants to. And we've seen that now he's working hard to be a good rebounder, and as long as he can improve his awareness of the basket, he'll be the same rebounding monster as Z! Seriously, I'd never dream of having one of these guys, because he's the next Z and has even more potential to grow! ”

Little Jordan looked at the Warriors' seat, didn't you dream of me? OK, this time you don't have to dream to have a chance, hurry up, although I was selected as the twentieth pick in the small green room, but that would be better than continuing to wait, right?

When Nelson Sr. praised Jordan Jr. before, not many people cared, but there is one thing that most people agree with, that is, with the Warriors' draft pick, you can really only dream about getting Jordan Jr., and now a shocking scene has appeared: Little Jordan has fallen from the lotto show!

Nelson Sr. had a serious expression on his face, and his son whispered a reminder to him, "Dad, we need to make decisions quickly, is it Stephen Curry, or DeAndre Jordan?" ”

Not far away, in the rookie seat, Stephen Curry is also watching the Warriors' seat.

To be honest, the Warriors are now full of talent on the guard line, Ellis, West, Billups, Azubuke and even Belineri and Luis are all excellent guards, in addition to Jackson, Barnes and Petrus, who are also swing men at the front, and there is no problem playing guard, so the outside world knows that the Warriors are now in dire need of an interior center who can support the interior after Chamberlain is off.

Old Nelson stared at Stern, and then nodded slowly to the staff next to him, who immediately said on the walkie-talkie: "The Warriors' draft picks will not change!" ”

"Understood!" A voice came from the other end of the intercom, and an envelope was delivered to Stern.

Stern opened the envelope, he glanced at the name on it, then smiled and looked at the crowd and said slowly: "The Golden State Warriors have been selected, the big forward from Congo, Serge Ibaka!" ”

Hearing this name, both other teams and the Warriors were in an uproar.

Chamberlain was even more stunned, he subconsciously looked at old Nelson and asked, "Shouldn't we choose Curry Jr.?" Didn't you say that you think Curry Jr. can be my good helper? ”

At this time, the rookie bench was also full of voices, like the black King Kong-like Ibaka is also full of questions, generally speaking, before the draft, rookies will know through their agents that they should be by that team, although this kind of news is not very certain, but 80% is reliable, and what Ibaka knows is that the SuperSonics are interested in selecting themselves!

The SuperSonics had two first-round picks, the fourth pick and the 24th pick from the Suns. At that time, Ibaka's agent told him that the SuperSonics would draft him in the 24th place, but he didn't expect the Warriors to cut him halfway and snatch him away early.

Although it was inexplicable, Ibaka was still happy, first of all, his order had improved, which was a good thing; Secondly, he knows that the Warriors are short of people inside, especially in the position of power forward, there are only players like Harrington, and there is no orthodox power forward at all.

With this in mind, Ibaka walked up to the stage with a smile, and after shaking hands with Stern, he made a brief draft speech: "I'm glad I was drafted by the Warriors because then I can play with SUPER-Z, like I said before, I'm his fan, guys, it's great to play with him!" ”

All rookies want to play with Chamberlain, even if it is a center, in addition to the reason for Chamberlain's strong ability, more important is that he protects the calf, although he is only a rookie, but last season as long as someone dared to touch his teammates, he will definitely take revenge mercilessly, this is what rookies are looking forward to, newcomers are difficult to do, especially in the NBA, rookies have just joined the league, and the most encountered is teasing and insults, so it is very important to be a good boss.

Curry on the rookie bench was stunned, he looked at the Warriors' seat in a daze, his clear gaze made Chamberlain unbearable, he only glanced at Curry, and he felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, extremely painful, so he grabbed the shoulder of old Nelson and shouted: "Why do you want to go back on your word?" ”

Old Nelson turned his head and stared at Chamberlain sternly, and shouted in a low voice: "Now is not the time to explain, all in all, I am doing this for the sake of the team and for your sake, Stephen is good, we will get him too, but it shouldn't be with a first-round pick!" ”

When Chamberlain heard this, he immediately became angry, and he gritted his teeth viciously and said: "You lied to Stephen, Old Don, you lied to us!" We're going to draft Stephen with a first-round pick and give him a top-tier contract that matches his value! ”

Billups grabbed Chamberlain and pushed him back into his seat, and now that a lot of people were watching them, Billups certainly couldn't let this kind of infighting-like scene take place, at least not in public.

Old Nelson really values Chamberlain, the draft actually has little to do with the players, it is the head coach and the uniform team who say, but he still explained to Chamberlain: "This kid from the Congo is a good choice, Z, he is a piece of gold and jade, as long as he is carved a little, the penalty area he and you form will definitely make the rest of the league tremble...... You see, he's physically, he's very humble, he's absolutely physical, remember the Portsmouth Invitational? Didn't you suggest I choose him too? ”

Yes, Ibaka also went to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, but he didn't get a chance to play, after all, this game is for seniors. However, Ibaka did get some chances in midfield and in the post-game free contest, when he was in good form and Oxlade-Chamberlain and Nelson Sr. were both bullish on him.

Chamberlain's face turned red, and he said angrily: "What I'm saying is that if you have a chance in the second round, you can select him, not the first round, we all said okay, we will select Curry Jr. in the first round!" ”

Old Nelson said lightly: "Everyone knows that a player like Ibaka can't fall into the second round, and Curry Jr. can, Z, I will bring Curry Jr. to you!" ”

Chamberlain still wanted to argue, Billups pulled him to the back, Chamberlain struggled, Billups made him honest with a word: "I don't know when you wanted to choose Curry Jr., but I must not have come at that time, and Delonte must not have come, but the question is, Z, now the team has me and DeLongti, have you ever thought about what Curry Jr. will do after he comes?" ”

Chamberlain was a little stunned for a moment, yes, the playmaker has Billups as the main force, and West is a super scoring guard, especially his performance in the playoffs, which has been widely praised, and some people even think that he can become an All-Star player if he continues to grow.

Chamberlain sat down in frustration, clenched his fists tightly and was in a state of confusion for a while, Billups, West, Ellis, all three of them have the strength to start, plus Curry, then the outside of the Warriors is overcrowded.

Once Curry is drafted with a first-round pick, it means that the first three people must go. And the one who left is likely to be West - West was a contract year last season, and he played super strong, if you want to renew him, a small contract is impossible, and with the stinginess of the Warriors board, how can you give a big contract to a role like West?

Hearing Stern read out Ibaka's name, little Jordan was completely mad, the Warriors were in the VIP room on the second floor, but the front of the VIP room was completely transparent, he found the direction where the Warriors were, and roared: "You said you would choose me, you liars, why don't you choose me?" I'll make you regret it! I'll make you regret why you didn't choose me! ”

Old Nelson glanced at Little Jordan coldly and pursed his lips disdainfully.

Seeing that Ibaka was selected by the Warriors, the SuperSonics on the other side was in chaos, and its coach Scott shouted depressedly: "Fuck, damn San Franciscans are really going to choose, damn Don's old immortal actually picked up my little BABY!" Call me quickly, we'll change people, hurry up and ......"

"But who do we choose?" Durant asked depressedly.

Scott and Sam Presti, the general manager of the SuperSonics, looked at each other, and the latter said in a deep voice: "I suggest that young man be chosen, I think, after today's events, he will not be so naïve anymore, and if he can mature, then the twenty-two teams in the league will regret it!" ”

The draft continued, with the Nets selecting a forward named Ryan Anderson from the University of California, the Orlando Magic selecting a guard named Connett Lee, the Utah Jazz selecting center Kufors for the Greek men's basketball team, and then it was the turn of the SuperSonics.
