I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 10 The 01 draft with frequent accidents! (for collection)
"Excuse me, excuse me, the draft is about to begin!" Jeff Austin didn't want to interrupt this interview, but he really needed to be quiet next.

"Then, He Li, come on! Let's go to the side to record a video, and hope to see you in the camera soon!" Yang Yi was very conscious, knowing that the next step was very important to He Li, so he didn't bother him anymore.

And, before leaving, he also cheered He Li up, hoping that He Li would be able to go to high school.

He Li also hopes to be the No. [-] pick in high school, but in this draft, if there is no interference from the mysterious forces in the East, Kwame Brown will be the No. [-] pick in a hundred times.

This year is recognized as a small year for the draft, and it is also recognized as a big year for insiders.

What are the criteria for judging the draft year and junior year?The standard is the number of NCAA sophomore stars participating!
The number of first-year and second-year college stars participating in the draft is more than 20, which is a big year. At this time, the first round of picks will be very valuable.

The number of first- and second-year college stars who barely exceed the number of lottery blocks is an ordinary draft year. Only the lottery blocks are valuable, and the rest of the first round is lottery.

If the favorites to win the championship, the lottery area is full of high school students or third-year and fourth-year stars, then it is basically a draft year.

Because it is very risky to choose high school players, and the skills and talents of junior and senior players have basically been finalized, lacking further training potential.

If the No. [-] pick can only be selected among high school students and juniors and seniors, it means that there are only a handful of players who can be used in this draft.

Of course, judging the year of the draft based on the top pick alone is not accurate enough.

The No. 97 pick was the historical star Tim Duncan's 03 draft, which was a small draft year, while the No. [-] pick was also a historical star LeBron James' [-] draft, which was a big year.

However, this one applies to this year's draft.

This year's top picks are basically high school students, and they are basically insiders.

Therefore, this year is recognized as a small year for the draft, and it is also a big year for insiders.

Basketball is a big man's sport, and it is an unchanging truth in the draft to have a big man.

This year, there are more than ten outstanding insiders.

Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, and the top high school student Jixiang Sanbao.

Future NBA champion centers Pau Gasol, Brandon Haywood, Mehmet Okur.

Desagena Diop, the core center of Oak Hill High School, the No. [-] basketball school in the United States.

Freshman Eddie Griffin won the best freshman in the United States.

Troy Murphy, who won the NCAA First Team for two consecutive years in his sophomore and junior years.

McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game MVP Zach Randolph.

Then there were the Collins brothers, one of whom later came out publicly.

And meat shield centers such as Michael Bradley, Samuel Dalembert, Robertas Yavtokas.

After the Lakers led by Shaquille O'Neal won two consecutive championships, this year's draft has received no less attention than previous drafts.

Don't you see that after Michael Jordan selected Kwame Brown, he made a comeback?

Why did Jordan choose Kwame Brown?Not because of anything else, but because Kwame Brown's talent is the strongest in this class of insiders.

Kwame Brown scored 120 points in the draft report with a total score of 109. Since he is only a rookie, he only scored 8 points in defense, immediate combat power, and leadership.

Listen to Jordan's evaluation after reading Kwame Brown's draft report: "Kwame Brown will be the only player in NBA history who can beat him..."

Kwame Brown: "I don't, I don't want to, don't vote for me, fuck off!"

With the grizzled, affable NBA commissioner David Stern taking the stage, the draft officially began.

Interestingly, before Stern opened the envelope and read out the No. [-] pick, Stern was booed by the audience for a while.

He Li, who was sitting in the auditorium, was really baffled when he saw this battle, but he had a vague idea of ​​echoing it.

Soon, Stern announced that the Washington Wizards had selected Kwame Brown with the first overall pick.

Kwame Brown was the No. [-] pick in high school without any accidents. He ranked first in the physical test in the training camp. In the Wizards training camp after that, he easily beat Tyson Chandler, making the boxing champion who originally aimed to be the next Olney directly change his name to the next Garnett.

Interestingly, Kwame Brown's draft template is Garnett, but Jordan wants to train Kwame Brown into O'Neal.

After Kwame Brown won the No. [-] pick, Tyson Chandler also quickly came to power as No. [-].

After that, the Atlanta Hawks selected Pau Gasol with the third overall pick, but there was a loud exclamation at the scene.

"Are the Eagles crazy? Take a white European center?"

"Eddie Curry actually dropped to the fourth pick? How can Pau Gasol be ranked ahead of Eddie Curry and be selected at the third pick?"

"Congratulations to the Eagles for booking the No. [-] pick next year!"

Pau Gasol was originally a member of the Little Green House. Now it seems that the selection of Pau Gasol is a bit inflated, but it is not unacceptable.

The exclamation and comments of the audience are nothing but Laomei's usual arrogance and prejudice.

Next, the Chicago Bulls selected Eddie Curry with the fourth pick.

The Golden State Warriors selected Jason Richardson with the fifth overall pick.

Shane Battier was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies with the sixth overall pick.

Eddie Griffin, one of the top picks, fell to the seventh pick and was picked up by the New Jersey Nets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers want to replace the battle-tested but scarred Big Z with the eighth overall pick, Desagina Diop.

The Detroit Pistons selected Rodney White with the ninth overall pick.

The Boston Celtics selected Joe Johnson with the tenth pick.

And none of these people is a member of the Little Green House.

When it comes to the No.11 pick, it is also the Boston Celtics who make the choice.

I didn't want to, but I got an upset. I didn't choose the rest of the small green room. Instead, I jumped out of the original framework and chose Cedric Brown, who was similar to Joe Johnson and was also a swingman.

No one knows what kind of medicine the Boston Celtics sell in the gourd. They have already selected the top swingman Paul Pierce two years ago.

Could it be that because he won a prize once, he wanted to keep repeating his previous success?

In short, the Boston Celtics' showmanship caused a lot of shock, but the next choice of the Seattle SuperSonics caused a lot of shock.

The Seattle SuperSonics selected Yugoslav player Vladimir Radmanovic with the No.12 overall pick.

Vladimir Radmanovich is not a member of the Little Green House, but his background is very attractive to Lao Mei.

Two consecutive picks were upset, but the No.13 pick returned to normal.

The Houston Rockets selected Richard Jefferson, taking away the player who was eagerly awaiting in the small green room.

The Golden State Warriors also took the No.14 pick, helping the remaining projection-type white center in the small green house-Troy Murphy out of the sea of ​​suffering.

After the Orlando Magic released O'Neal, they hoped to find a new inside superstar, but unfortunately they didn't even find a suitable starting insider.

In April this year, the Magic faced the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. McGrady fought against the Three Musketeers.

The real reason for the Magic's loss to the Bucks was not McGrady's lack of firepower, but the Magic's lack of qualified penalty area defenders.

Therefore, the Magic have no choice this year, and can only use the No.15 pick in the first round to choose a center that looks okay-Steven Hunter.

After Steven Hunter finished his interview, David Stern took the stage again with a brand new envelope.

After opening the envelope, Stern smiled slightly: "In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected No.16 overall, holy!"

"This young player from China won the New Jersey state championship this year and is a forward with super talent."

At the same time, the general managers of the teams who are directing the draft work in their respective war rooms expressed emotion: "Aren't you worried about the risks involved in selecting an Asian high school player with the No. 16 pick? Bob Bass is so courageous!"

Only Nets general manager Rod Thorn, Knicks general manager Scott Layden, and Grizzlies general manager Billy Knight showed a wry smile while remaining calm after hearing the news.
