I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 626: 2009 NBA Draft

Choosing Butler with the No. 13 pick from Mosaic. This is Chen Xiao’s idea. The Bobcats have used No. 6 and No. 8 to select DeRozan and Curry. To be honest, Butler is not what the Bobcats need now. player of.

   Although he is a fan of himself and Boss Joe, he is also a fellow of Boss Joe.

   But this is not enough for Chen Xiao and Jordan to give him the No. 13 pick.

   Marquette University is nominally in Milwaukee, but in fact most of the players on the team are from Chicago.

Yes.

  In the NCAA, the relationship between Marquette University and Chicago is equivalent to that of Shenzhen to Hubei, Hunan, Nanjing to Anhui, the capital to Hebei, and Hainan to the three provinces of Northeast China.

   In the NCAA, Chicago does not have any prestigious schools that are too strong, and Marquette University is the closest prestigious school to Chicago.

   Therefore, most of the annual enrollment for the Marquette University basketball team comes from Chicago.

   So, young people from Chicago like Wade and Luo, of course everyone is a fan of Joe Boss.

   Butler, compared with other Marquette University players, is actually not that pure. He is from Texas.

   Therefore, for Chen Xiao, the butler student and his other students are actually nothing special in terms of status.

   Of course, his Marquette and Three Eagles are indeed special, but this is not enough for Chen Xiao to be special to him.

   After all, Chen Xiaozhen did not intend to preserve the glory of this title. The draft was preserved, so what about entering the NBA?

   If you don't want to be strong, you have to be ashamed of the NBA. The NBA has always been a place where the weak can eat the strong.

   What really made Chen Xiao's attention to Butler was also the reason why Chen Xiao used the No. 13 pick on Butler. It was his hard work and focus on basketball.

  On Butler's body, he saw the shadow of Luo Ge.

   Butler's draft model is also Luo Ge.

   He is the same as Luo Ge, compared to those geniuses, the two have average talents.

   But the two of them have the same hard work and the same dedication to basketball.

   Luo brother was born rich and nostalgic, basketball is his dream pursuit and life goal, so he believes in basketball very much.

Butler was born in poverty. Basketball is an opportunity for him to change his destiny. Compared with other blacks, he realized this earlier. Therefore, his efforts are even more "blooded" than Luo. Not as graceful as Luo Ge, but a bit more cynical and cruel.

   After all, my father abandoned their mother and child when he was a child, and was abandoned by his mother when he was 13 because he was ‘too ugly’. Well, someone with this experience, it’s hard for you to make his personality as graceful as Luo Ge.

   Although Chen Xiao and Butler don't have much contact, Chen Xiao has heard some things about Butler from his apprentice younger Curry and younger brother Beasley.

   This kid is very prickly, and he is not friendly to recognized geniuses, even his teammates.

   And, even if his birth is lower, Butler doesn't complain about himself, this is a more noble quality.

Tim Barkley, assistant coach at Marquette University, told Chen Xiao about Butler. To Butler, Tim’s evaluation is: “In my life for so many years, I have heard many tragic lives, such as Wade, but Butler’s story is the most impressive (tragic) story I have ever heard. He has been full of frustrations since his birth, and he has not felt the slightest warmth and happiness, but he has never given up. When you talk to him, As he hesitated to talk about his life, you can still feel the greatness of this child in a few words."

   Strong, hard work, high quotient.

   Judging from the contact between what Chen Xiao has seen and heard, Chen Xiao appreciates hardworking players like Butler.

   Even if his talent is really not high.

Chen Xiao is really not afraid that Butler's talent is not enough, and Luo's talent is not so good. Of course, Luo's talent is good compared with Butler, and the athletic talent is about the same, but Luo's arm span is higher than his height. It is 17 cm longer, and Butler is 2 meters 01 tall and 2 meters 02 wingspan.

Even if the talent is poor, as long as the basketball quotient is enough and hard work is enough, Chen Xiao believes that with the help of the system, even if Butler cannot become a superstar like Luo in the future, he will never be sorry for the No. 13 pick he paid tonight. .

   Still the same sentence, Chen Xiao saw Luo Ge's shadow on Butler.

   At the same time, Chen Xiao also likes hardworking geniuses like Xiaodu and Luo.

   In addition to being a fan of his own junior generation, Chen Xiao is willing to give Butler the No. 13 pick.

   As for the uproar in the NBA after the Bobcats selected Butler with the No. 13 pick at this time, Chen Xiao didn't care at all.

   He really hasn't thought about Butler's immediate contribution to the Bobcats. Butler's existence always reminds Chen Xiao of the tragic years with Wade and Luo Ge, which is enough to satisfy Chen Xiao.

   The Bobcats used the No. 13 pick to predict Butler, who might be at the end of the second round, which caused an uproar on the scene.

   And Butler on the stage, after thanking Chen Xiao and Jordan in excitement and crying, was still incoherent in the live TV interview.

   Like Tim Buckley said, there is no warmth and happiness in his life.

   And just now, in Chen Xiao's smile at him, he felt it.

   The warmth that Chen Xiao brought to him is completely different from the parents he re-found after becoming famous in the NCAA.

   After Butler was selected by the Bobcats with the No. 13 pick, the draft continues.

   However, this has nothing to do with the Bobcats, because the Bobcats traded their first-round 25th and second-round picks to the Jazz in exchange for a lottery-protected first-round pick for the Jazz.

The Bobcats now have 15 players on contract, and now there are three in the draft. In the future, O’Neal and Kee’s boss will come. This is five people. Therefore, the Bobcats now have to trade five players to be able to move. All three rookies signed with O'Neill Kidd.

   Therefore, the current Bobcats do not intend to use a low draft rookie to occupy the precious spot of the team.

   Even Lowry can't stay with the Bobcats. Other candidates are also a waste of picks. It's better to postpone this pick for a year.

   And this deal, in fact, does not suffer. The Jazz are willing to make this deal with the Bobcats, mainly because they do have the players they want.

   As for talking about Boss Joe’s business with Sir, it seems illusory, but it’s not imaginary at all.

  Because the Jazz's current point guard is Jordan Jr, his son's team, with Joe's boss in the mood for a son, he can't wait to give his son the best things he can give him, free of charge.

   It’s just that, thoughts are thoughts, rationally telling Boss Joe that he can’t do this.

   Therefore, if the Bobcats have completed their goals in the draft, if the Jazz has a demand, there is no problem in trading with the Jazz.

   After Butler, one of the two most embarrassing people tonight, was selected, another embarrassing player Rubio was finally selected.

   No. 14 overall, the Boston Celtics pass Rubio.

For Danny Angie, this is fine, and Angie actually likes players with high quotients. Angie once launched a very violent pursuit of Chris Cannon, and also very much to the Timberwolves point guard Rondo who can’t shoot. Coveted.

   And Rubio is definitely a point guard tailored for him.

  Basically, Rubio's strength lies in Anji's heart.

   Even Rubio's complexion and looks are very appetizing for him and Boston.

   Being selected by the Celtics may also be a blessing in disguise for Rubio. Although the draft is not high, it is also a lottery, and it is a team with such a deep heritage and very friendly to white people.

Therefore, when he went up, Rubio, the player who was predicted to be selected in the top five, was not selected by the Celtics until 14. The original blackness on his face disappeared, and the smile on his face became brighter. .

   The fifteenth overall pick, the Jazz selected El Clark, who is the number one small forward this year. This year is a new year for guards. There are not many outstanding players for small forwards.

   Especially when Beasley is a power forward.

   And Earl Clarke is definitely the kind of jazz that laughs from ear to ear after the Jazz is selected. This is the surprise of the Jazz. The first small forward has fallen here, and they will be condemned by God if they don't choose.

   And this is also the reason why the Jazz urgently contacted Jordan to trade, because they saw Clark's hope.

   In this young year as a small forward, Clark is indeed quite dazzling.

He is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 104 kg. He has excellent defense and good offense. Therefore, many NBA managers said in interviews that his future is: "You can become Odom, you can also become Tim Thomas, or both. ."

   After the Jazz, the Nuggets chose the talented point guard left in the green house, Jennings.

   Jennings is a very controversial young man with a high talent, but there are also many problems.

   Being selected as the Nuggets and Sweetie partner this time, it should be a very interesting spark.

   Jennings's arena is very strong, and Xiaotian's arena is also very strong.

   After Jennings was selected, Chen Xiao focused not on the players but the team.

   Especially teams that compete with the Bobcats.

The 20th overall pick, the Nets took the fourth place this year, Terrence Williams, who is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He can play small forwards. His style lies in Speed, good at fast break, good defense, a bit like Iguodala, his draft pick has risen rapidly recently, and many scouts thought he would not fall out of the top ten.

   Especially in the past year, his shooting has been smoother and his playing has been more selfless.

   Obviously, it was a surprise that the Nets were able to pick him in this position.

With the 22nd overall pick, the Cavaliers selected small forward Danny Green from the University of North Carolina. Danny Green led the University of North Carolina in the finals in the NCAA finals to play a difficult match with Marquette University. In particular, his performance in Beasley's one-on-one defense is very good, which is impressive.

   So many people say that his draft pick is around 30, and the Cavaliers picked him with the 22nd pick, obviously because the Cavaliers now need a good defensive backup small forward.

Especially in the recent five small trends that have swept the NBA, the Cavaliers’ small forwards and shooting guards have defensive problems. This is also the case for the Cavaliers’ selection of Marquette’s Matthews and now the University of North Carolina’s Danny. Green's reason.

   The 23rd overall Clippers picked Tay Gibson from the University of Southern California. He is the seventh power forward this year.

   Clippers scouts are optimistic about his hard work and ability to block shots. A manager from the Los Angeles Clippers said: "He has the opportunity to play in the league. He plays very hard and blocks very well. It is difficult for me to predict his future, but I feel that he can gain a foothold in the league because he likes to grab rebounds. , Likes to do dirty work, he is also willing to pick and roll, I believe he is the kind of teammate Chris needs."

   It can be seen that the Clippers are slowly forming suitable teammates for Cannon.

   The 26th overall pick, the Spurs chose DeJuan Blair, a very good forward player, in order to find a supplement and substitute for Dior.

   With the 27th overall pick, the Lakers picked Tony Douglas, an offensive point guard. Although not a top ten point guard, it is also very competitive.

With the 28th overall pick, the Raptors chose Jeff Teague from Wake Forest University. He is the junior of Duncan and Xiaopao, and the eighth point guard this year, but his style and his senior Xiaopao It's completely different. He is not so willing to organize and is good at scoring, but his confrontation is not so strong. So many scouts are a little uncertain about his prospects in the NBA. His draft pick is also considered a second-round prospect. .

   However, the Raptors lack a point guard and Nash's substitute, plus his three-pointer in college ~www.NovelMTL.com~ does meet the Raptors' requirements.

With the 29th overall pick, the player selected by the Bucks was shooting guard Marcus Thornton from the University of Louisiana. He was in the ninth position this year. According to a scout: "He is a prolific shooter. He is full of wildness. Sometimes, he can shoot 6 or 7 consecutive shots from mid-to-long range. He reminds me of Ben Gordon and Ray Allen."

   Obviously, the Bucks chose him because they hoped to find a Ray Allen II.

The 30th overall pick, the Heat chose a 1.83-meter point guard, Patrick Mills, from Australia. Chen Xiao and Dayao are their old opponents. They performed very well in the 2008 Olympics. One of the culprits that almost made the American team shame in the warm-up match.

With Iverson returning to the 76ers after winning the championship, the Heat are actually quite lacking in the point guard position, and Mills can beat Beverly in this year's point guard season, Douglas and others are in the front line. Ten, and ninth, is very powerful.

   With Mills left in the top ten, even if the Heat didn't investigate because they played the championship, they knew to blindly choose the highest ranked one.

   With the Heat's drafting of Mills, the first round of the 2009 draft is also over.

   As for the second round, Chen Xiao doesn't have any interest. Maybe there are some fish that slip through the net, but for Chen Xiao and the Bobcats, it actually doesn't make much sense.

   After the draft is over, that's when Joe Boss is really busy. After all, he has to deal with the existing 5 Bobcats players.
