I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 28, 2006, the draft was opened in Madison Square Garden in New York on time.

Chen Xiao was absent for the first time since entering this year's draft.

In 2002 he ran for the election himself.

In 2003, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tiantian were selected as candidates.

In 2004, he voted for Xiaopao.

In 2005, it was for Xiao Zhu to vote.

Although there are some Chinese players participating in the election this year, there will be more and more in the future, but Chen Xiao won't go for every one. At least, you have to be Chen Xiao's acquaintance?

In fact, this year's draft also has Chen Xiao's acquaintances, that is, Novak, who is respectful and respectful to Chen Xiao's brother.

Novak, who often played three-point matches with Chen Xiao on the training ground, will take part in the draft this year. However, this superstar was not invited to the small green house, so Chen Xiao did not. Need to go to New York.

Although Novak is a three-pointer and a super star, the draft does not necessarily depend on your greatness. In the final analysis, the draft depends on your future potential.

Nowak is almost visible to the naked eye in this respect, and there is no good future.

Novak is the kind of player who adds points to all three-pointers.

In the past this year’s draft contest, one of the biggest highlights has always been a male model group led by Chen Xiao. This year’s draft contest, whether it is the audience in front of the TV or the David Stern who came out of the stands, saw that familiarity. The figure did not appear, and I felt that something was missing in this year's draft.

Looking at the young teenagers sitting on the round table in the small green room under the stage, David Stern also showed a smile of memories on his face.

Four years ago, he welcomed the young people of 2002 here.

Like the young people of this year, the young people of that year are also the generation that is called the young draft pick.

The youngsters of that session had a favorite among international players, Yao Ming, and this session was Bargnani.

There was a young Larry Bird, Chen Xiao, who was recognized by Jordan, and Morrison this year.

There was a Wade who was considered invincible in impact at that time, and this time it was Guy.

That year there was Ron Howard who was considered to be a good offensive and defensive Peyton, and this year there was also a good offensive and defensive Marion's Terus Thomas.

There was an invincible presence in that session, Jie Williams, and in this session there was also an invincible point guard, Randy Foye.

How similar it is.

Four years have passed. The 2002 rookie in the past draft year has now contributed 2 regular seasons and 2 finals, three teams, and six All-Star players.

Once considered to be the most mediocre generation of Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard and Yao Ming, they have all grown into Optimus Prime, superstar, and superstar.

Once considered the most mediocre generation, now there are six team bosses: Chen Xiao, Wade, Ron Howard, Boozer, Jie Williams, Stoudemire.

This so-called most mediocre generation is not inferior to any draft year.

After all, this is only four years!

Even if it was 84 and 96, they couldn't completely take over the whole in four years.

And this season, with Wade Yao Ming leading the Heat to the finals, with Ron Howard leading the Spurs to the finals, with Chen Xiaohei defeating the 73-win Bucks.

After the end of this season, many people said that they will enter the era of 2002 rookie dominance.

It doesn't matter if this statement is right or wrong, or it's pure grandstanding.

For David Stern, he liked this statement.

This shows that everything is possible!

Even if you are considered mediocre, you can still be mediocre, as long as you have enough dreams and hard work!

Therefore, no matter how mediocre the draft players this year are, the smile on David Stern's face is very gentle and kind.

Because they may be another rookie in the 2002 class that surprised him.

Of course, the rookies sitting in the small green house certainly don't know what David Stern thinks.

But the smile on David Stern's face can't deceive anyone.

They can see that the president welcomes them.

Adam Morrison, Tyrus Thomas, Rudy Gay, Aldridge, Bargnani, Roy, Randy Foye, Marcus Williams, Rodney Carney, Sheldon Williams Si, Patrick O'Brien, Cedric Simmons, Ronnie Brewer, Hilton Armstrong.

In David Stern’s loving eyes, the four officially invited Little Green House players seemed to see that the future of the world belongs to them.

To be honest, since the 2002 rookies successfully counterattacked and led the team to three of the past four championships, this pair of rookies has been a huge incentive.

It has to be said that the rookies headed by Chen Xiao in the 2002 class will indeed bring the light of dreams to many rookies in the future.

Four years ago, who would have thought that Chen Xiao would be the first person?

Four years ago, who would have thought that Wade would become the leader of the championship team?

Four years ago, who would have thought that Yao Ming would become?

Four years ago, who would have thought that Ron Howard would be a defense?

Four years ago, the best rookie recognized in the United States was Jay Williams!

As long as you can enter, you have the opportunity to change everything and hold the whole world in your hand!

And they, being able to sit here, means that their talents will not be much worse than Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Wade and Ron Howard.

Therefore, everyone is looking forward to it at this time.

Of course, Chen Xiao was also looking forward to it at this time.

After all, David Stern has taken out the envelope of the top pick.

When David Stern took out the envelope, almost everyone's focus became the small round table in the middle of the little green room, where Morrison was sitting.

With a wave of Sonics general manager Rick Sander selling Jordan's operation, Morrison's position as the top pick is really stable.

Even if supersonic speed is not available, supersonic will choose Morrison.

As long as Morrison is in hand, there will naturally be teams willing to make a price.

Of course, at this time, the fans and the audience did not know that the SuperSonics had already traded the No. 1 pick to the Celtics.

On the morning of the draft, Jordan learned that the Sonics had traded the No. 1 pick to the Celtics. Uncle Joe was lost for a long, long time, feeling that his whole person was taken away from his soul.

"Chen, I feel like I have lost myself."

Quite a philosophical sentence, this sentence made Chen Xiao wonder how to understand it for a while.

However, no matter how you understand it, you can see how much Jordan loves this person.

In fact, Chen Xiao also quite likes this player.

Although his attributes are not very high, it is only for the time being, but this is a player with very delicate skills, very elegant style, and even a very retro outfit.

In him, you can see the strong style of the eighties and nineties, and his characteristics not only allow Jordan to see the strong shadow of Larry Bird, but also allow Jordan to see his own youth.

Therefore, he was so fascinated by Jordan.

Losing him is like losing one's own youth and years.

Therefore, even if he wasn't with Jordan, Chen Xiao could still feel the sound of heartbreak after David Stern took out the envelope and read the name of the person.

"In the 2006 draft, with the first overall pick in the first round, the Seattle SuperSonics chose a forward from Gonzaga University, Adam Morris!"

There is no suspense.

The audience applauded when David Stern read Morrison's name.

Even the rookies on the scene were applauded.

Morrison's strength data and prestige are all recognized as the top rookies of this year.

Not to mention the prestige, with Jordan's endorsement, who can compare to Morrison?

In terms of strength statistics, Morrison averaged 2 points per game in his junior season last season, shooting 523 from the field and 428 three-pointers from the field.

This data can be said to be against the sky.

Therefore, he was the winner of the Wooden Award last season.

It was also the National Team last season and the scoring leader last season.

Morrison's honor last season is basically equivalent to taking the regular season, the scoring champion and the regular season.

It’s no problem to say that such a player is the first person, right?

Now that high school students are not allowed in the draft, as the first person to be selected as the No. 1 pick, isn't this the most natural and most acceptable thing?

Therefore, as the No. 1 pick this year, Morrison has been blessed by everyone.

Including his competitors.

If Guy gets the No. 1 pick, Aldridge still refuses to accept it.

Morrison, no one would really disagree.

After Morrison was selected by the Sonics with the No. 1 pick, audiences across the United States soon saw the latest transaction information typed on TV.

The Boston Celtics sent Pierce to the Seattle Supersonics, and at the same time traded this year's No. 1 pick Morrison from the Supersonics.

When the Celtics fans in front of the TV saw the team send Pierce away in exchange for Morrison, after a moment, everyone was celebrating like crazy.

"We have Larry Bird again!

Hahahaha!

We have Larry Bird again! "

Pierce's personal data for the Celtics in the past few years, the team record has not, has long made the local Celtics fans impatient.

Because of Pierce's origin, many local Celtics fans don't like Pierce.

So that when the Celtics played last season, the Boston Celtics fans shouted to go back to Los Angeles!

Now Pierce is finally rolling.

Now, Celtics fans are finally happy. This is their happiest moment after losing Duncan and Nowitzki.

For a time, Danny Angie, the general manager of the Celtics, was praised by everyone in Boston.

At this time, Angie, who was praised by Boston fans in front of the TV, looked a little ugly.

This is not the result he wants, but as others have said, when he has the No. 1 pick, he has no reason not to choose Morrison this year. He is the first person. He is Larry Bird II. You Is there any reason to persuade those celebrities and fans not to vote for Morrison?

If you tell the Celtics’ celebrities and fans that our No. 1 pick does not pick Morrison, but Guy, Aldridge, and Bargnani, then you should not appear on the streets of Boston this summer.

If Morrison succeeds in the future, you will never show up in Boston for the rest of your life.

Therefore, this year's No. 1 pick, Angie really does not want, he even prefers to replace Pierce for the second place, let Morrison be selected by other teams.

However, as long as the cardinal is there, he can't scribble casually on the Celtics.

He has no ability and no right to not want the champion to be the second place.

Just as the fans throughout Boston were crazy for Morrison and cheering for the team, no one at this time would care about Pierce's mood when he was suddenly traded away.

When your loyalty is no longer cherished, then all you can have is yourself. You don't need to be loyal to anyone. The only thing you need to be loyal to is yourself.

At that moment, Pierce figured it out.

He no longer bears the heavy burden of a great team's revival. What are the Celtics, what is Danny Angie, Chen Xiao, Ray Allen, Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, and Carter?

He will only live for himself in the future!

Back to the scene of the draft.

After the SuperSonics selected Morrison with the No. 1 pick and traded him to the Celtics, the Wizards soon made their choice of No. 2 pick.

The Wizards announced that they have selected guard Brandon Roy from the University of Washington with the second pick.

When the second name spoken by David Stern was not Guy, not Foye, not Tyrus Thomas, not Aldridge, not Bargnani, but Roy, the whole scene was full of uproar.

Even Roy, who had always been paralyzed, was surprised now.

Second place?

I?

Is this a dream?

So that Roy, who put on a Wizards hat and talked on it, didn't even say a word, so he said thank you.

Because the words he prepared are not necessary!

Of course, the most important thing is to be blinded.

In addition, I was a little clumsy, so I didn't react.

Also, he really didn't understand why the Wizards chose him.

Looking at Roy, who was always blinded after being selected on the TV, the general manager of mosaic Dawson in front of the TV looked very ugly.

Was robbed!

Can Mosaic's third overall pick be robbed? !

He was too wasteful to trade down because of Roy with the third overall pick, and finally reached a deal with the Knicks for the third pick for the sixth pick.

Now, he can't even pick Roy even if he keeps the third overall pick!

"In the 2006 draft, in the first round, the third overall pick, the Houston Mosaic selected Bargnani, an insider from Italy!"

Seeing Bargnani as the third overall pick in front of the TV, Dawson's face was blue.

If he knew he could not pick Roy, he would never trade the No. 3 pick to the Knicks.

Instead, he will retain Aldridge with the No. 3 pick.

Aldridge is a native of Dallas, Texas, and a local player at the University of Texas.

After Roy, Aldridge is definitely the best choice.

But, who would have thought that Roy's draft pick would be so high?

Who would have thought of the Wizards to rob?

The Heat robbed his Yao Ming in 2002.

In 2006, the Wizards robbed his Roy again.

Thinking of the Wizards, Dawson gave birth to a glimmer of hope.

Hope the Wizards don't want to use them for themselves, but use them for robbery.

Don't the Wizards need an inside player to partner with Kwame Brown?

Dawson gave birth to a glimmer of hope.

When trading the No. 3 pick, Dawson knew that Aldridge was missing him.

Players like Aldridge may not be the No. 1 pick, but it is difficult to fall out of the top five.

Sure enough, in the fourth overall pick, the Warriors selected Aldridge with the fourth pick.

Then, the Hornets selected Cedric Simmons with the fifth pick, which is a dark horse.

Simmons's template is Nei, with very long arms, agile action, tough on the inside style, good at inside jumpers and rebounding, and has a strong ability to block shots. The free throw state is stable and the hit rate is high. Outstanding pace, wide field of vision and excellent passing skills.

The disadvantage is the lack of jump shot ability at any point, and the need to improve shooting ability. The body is not strong enough and needs to continue to exercise and improve.

It can be said that, theoretically, Boozer's perfect partner.

So it's understandable for the Hornets to pick him with the No. 5 pick, he is outstanding.

Immediately after the sixth overall pick, the New York Knicks chose Tyrus Thomas from the top pick.

After the Knicks drafted Tyrus Thomas, another deal was made on TV.

Mosaic sent Bargnani to the Knicks in exchange for Tyrus Thomas.

And just when Dawson was about to use Tyrus Thomas to ask the Wizards' Roy.

Soon, the Trail Blazers with the seventh pick selected Randy Foye, one of the best guards this year.

At the same time, after the Blazers' selection was over, another deal was made on the TV.

The Trail Blazers announced that Foye would be sent to the Wizards, the Wizards announced that Roy would be sent to the Bobcats, and the Bobcats announced that they would send Louis Williams to the Trail Blazers and Blatche to the Wizards.

The three teams completed a wave of exchanges of young players.

And Dawson, who saw the deal on TV, looked quite surprised.

He just wanted to ask the price wizards.

So, Tyrus Thomas was chosen for nothing?

After the shock, Dawson quickly recovered his calm.

At least Tyrus Thomas is the No. 1 favorite, and he is not at a loss in the sixth pick.

After the Blazers, the eighth pick for the Celtics was Gay from the University of Connecticut.

This is Angie's own decision.

It was a surprise to get Gay with the eighth overall pick.

With the ninth overall pick, Mosaic continued its turn. Mosaic chose center Patrick O'Brien.

After Bogut and Hesheng Town went down last season, Mosaic needs a truly promising center player.

The seven-footer averaged 1,388 per game last season. He has long arms, agile movement, excellent running position, can adapt to rapid offensive and defensive transitions, has good upper limb strength, is also good at blocking shots and rebounding, and has excellent skills.

This can be seen from the data.

This year's lottery rookies in the university data are quite unique.

The tenth overall pick for the Philadelphia 76ers was Sefolosha, the only rookie to enter the lottery without appearing in the small green house.

With the rookies of the Little Green House being selected one by one, after the 14th overall pick of the Bobcats Ronny Brewer, the entire Little Green House is left with Marcus Williams.

After selecting Brewer with the 14th overall pick, the Bobcats immediately announced a deal with the Warriors.

The Bobcats sent this year's 14th overall picks Brewer and Monta Alice in exchange for Aldridge from the Warriors.

At this point, the first round of the Bobcats' draft is all completed.

Although they didn't get the team's first goal of Morrison that Jordan dreamed of, the second goal of Roy and the third goal of Aldridge were completed, which is considered a success.

This time the Bobcats have three remaining targets, one is Roy, the other is Aldridge, and the third is Guy.

With 2 and 4 picks, these three can definitely get Roy. As for Aldridge and Guy, the two-level goals, it is one of two choices.

After the Bobcats selected Ronny Brewer, the last remaining small green house rookie Marcus Williams eventually fell to the 21st pick before being selected by the Nets.

The Grizzlies in the middle picked Lowry with the 17th pick, and the Timberwolves with the 20th pick picked the point guard Rajon Rondo, who Chen Xiao hadn't seen in the Bobcats training camp.

Because Garnett's reputation among rookies is too great, so many rookies specialize in Garnett's Timberwolves training camp.

The Cavaliers with the 22nd overall pick Shannon Brown.

The 25th overall picks Jordan Farmar.

The Heat selected Chen Xiao's beloved junior brother Novak with the 29th overall pick.

Originally, the Bobcats wanted to draft Novak in the second round, but they also knew that the chances were small.

Although Novak is not a hot rookie, but he hasn't fallen so far behind.

Although Novak can't get to Chen Xiao's side to receive the whipping, it is good to receive training next to his other senior Wade.

I heard that after this year’s finals, Popovich was frantically targeted by Popovich because of his ability to shoot three-pointers. This made Wade, a diehard fan of Jordan and Iverson, who has always looked down on three-pointers, produced some Some other ideas.

He wants to practice three-pointers.

And in this world, is there a better three-point coach than Novak?

Chen Xiao thinks it should be gone.

Wade felt the same way.

Wade watched the scene of Novak violently ravaging Chen Xiao.

The Spurs before the Heat did not choose Novak because the Spurs chose Tucker, a native of Texas who went to college.

Tucker and Aldridge are teammates.

He is also the captain of the University of Texas.

Historically, the Spurs had traded their first-round draft picks this year and failed to pick Tucker.

As for the Bobcats' second round pick this year, the player selected by the No. 48 pick in the second round is another player from the University of Texas, Danny Gibson.

Before the Bobcats, the Jazz picked Paul Millsap with the 43rd overall pick in the second round. This is also a player Chen Xiao has never seen before. Hearing from the Arab League, he entered the Jazz through the back door to substitute him.

It was Ma Long's back door, Ma Long's younger brother.

If it hadn't been for the U.S. League to say this person, Chen Xiao would not have remembered his name.

After the Bobcats drafted Daniel Gibson in the second round, the Bobcats' draft this year is all over. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In this draft, the Bobcats left Monta Alice, Louis Williams, Blatche, and Roy, Aldridge, and Gibson.

Three for three, don't know whether it is a success or a failure?

Whether it is success or failure, this is the future, but now

At the end of the draft, Uncle Joe once again became the focus of the world.

"Adam Morrison? I have heard of him, but man, I did not cry, I will not cry for him, he is not Chen, I will not cry for any player who did not get Chen.

In fact, what Riksander said is deceptive.

I have never been so humble.

My goal in this draft has always been Roy and Aldridge.

I said, Adam is a good player, but we already have Granger, we can't continue to choose a player with the same function.

Therefore, what Riksand said are all deceptive.

I never thought about getting Adam.

So, it all ends here.

Is this my strategy to get Roy and Aldridge?

You can also understand this way. "

At the end of the draft, the reporter interviewed Jordan, who lost Morrison. Jordan's remarks simply exploded the whole!

"conspiracy!

Jordan's crazy praise of Morrison was a conspiracy!

He was to get Roy and Aldridge! "

For a while, the whole was in an uproar.

As a rookie general manager, Jordan's wave is too atmospheric, right?

"This is too similar!"

Almost for a time, both Chen Xiao and Riksander yelled this sentence subconsciously.

Of course, the words of the two are the same, and the connotation is completely different.

ps: There is only this chapter today, and it took a little longer to write.
