This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 193 After the Butterfly Effect, the draft day is turbulent
2007年NBA总决赛帷幕在美国当地时间6月14日拉下，GDP率领的圣安东尼奥马刺队毫无悬念的以4-0横扫克利夫兰骑士队对局，最终捧起了奥布莱恩杯。

This also represents the complete end of the 2006-2007 season, and all teams are turning their attention to the new 2007-2008 season.

The draft has become the top priority of every team.

Although the 2007 draft was not as good as the 84, 96, and 03 drafts, it also produced many cornerstone talents for the team.

However, for this year's players, the talents of the lottery show are pleasing to the naked eye, and the success rate is quite high. After the lottery, except for Marc Gasol, who only landed in the NBA after a year, there has not been any All-Star level players, the fault is also obvious.

Naturally, Zhou Lin would not have too much expectation for the Charlotte Bobcats, who hold the 18th and 47th picks, and these are also things that the general manager of the team should think about. The line makes some reinforcement.

On June 6, the Madison Garden draft was held as scheduled.

Yi Jianlian also arrived in New York, and Chinese players were once again selected for the Little Green House, attracting great attention from the Chinese media.

Stern slowly took the stage, and the stage was once again given to the rookie of the new year.

The top pick, Greg Oden, was taken away by the Portland Trail Blazers without any suspense.

The Portland fans at this time are probably crazy with excitement. They are eagerly looking forward to the twin tower combination of Greg Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge, which can quickly lead Portland back to the top.

But no one would have thought that the almost uncontroversial choice made the Portland Trail Blazers give up a chance to rise directly. No one would have thought that Greg Oden would struggle with injuries all the time in his future career, and Kay Wen Durant evolved into a god of death in the future.

The second pick, the Seattle SuperSonics, they selected Kevin Durant as the cornerstone of the team.

And on the same day, they also sold off their belongings. The former supersonic twin stars, Ray Allen and Sharad Lewis also followed the trend of fate and flocked to the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic respectively.

And this deal, to a large extent, allowed the two teams in the East to quickly climb to the top of the East, the Boston Celtics in the 07-08 season, and the Orlando Magic in the 08-09 season.

The third pick belongs to the Atlanta Hawks.

Both Yi Jianlian and Al Horford had trial training with their teams. Judging from their performance, both players are very good.

Historically, the Eagles chose Al Horford, and Al Horford did not live up to the trust of the team. In the next few years, he led the team to become the No. [-] regular season player in the Eastern Conference and entered the playoffs consecutively. , Al Horford himself was also selected as an All-Star.

But this time, history has gone to another extreme.

"My God, my God!"

Zhou Lin, who was watching the live TV, heard David Stern speak slowly: "At the third pick, the Atlanta Hawks chose Yi Jianlian, a 7-foot center player from the Guangdong South China Tigers of the Chinese CBA League."

Yi Jianlian jumped to the third pick!

This is something that even Zhou Lin didn't expect, he actually lost Al Horford in PK!
Perhaps because of Zhou Lin's success and the effect of the soaring market after the Charlotte Bobcats chose Zhou Lin, the Atlanta Hawks, who are also in the Southeast Division, were moved.

Still the butterfly effect.

And for Yi Jianlian to jump to the position of Tanhuaxiu, Zhou Lin is very happy, and the Eagles may be the team that Yi Jianlian can get the most performance opportunities among the top ten picks. Of course, Zhou Lin also did not expect that the Atlanta Hawks would really give up. NCAA champion insider Al Horford.

Last year, the Bobcats and the Eagles made a deal, sending the team's starting point guard Brevin Knight and Sean May in exchange for the fifth pick and getting Brandon Roy and the Eagles in 2008. The lottery, and a special case of a transaction close to 600 million.

It now appears that the Bobcats really want to thank the Eagles.

Brevin's going to the Eagles proved to have a clear downward trend, and Sean May was abandoned after playing for more than half a season.

In exchange for Brandon Roy, although he did not go to the Portland Trail Blazers, he formed a twin star with Zhou Lin and became the backbone of Charlotte. , There is also a second-round pick and an unused trade exception.

Originally, in history, the Eagles would choose Sheldon Williams, and Sheldon Williams, who was selected with the sixth overall pick, finally swapped with Randy Foye for the Warriors Team hats.

Well, he played fairly well in the Warriors and was selected to the rookie second team.

The inside group of the current Eagles is Stanislav Medvetenko and Zaza Pachulia, Esteban Batista, and Solomon Jones.

They are all passer-by insiders who are not well-known.

The most famous of them is Pachulia, who averaged 12.2+6.9 per game. This is also Yi Jianlian's almost only competitor at the center position when he went to the Eagles.

Pachulia, who has been in the league for 4 years, has almost reached the ceiling.

Zhou Lin felt that it was not a big problem for Yi Jianlian to PK Pachulia.

At this moment, the country is already boiling, and those fans who are watching the live broadcast of the draft on TV did not expect to hear Yi Jianlian's name so early.

Su Qun said: "Finally, there are three Chinese players standing together on the NBA stage, and they are not secondary players. They will all play as absolute main players. If Sun Yue can also be selected for the NBA, then there may be 4 players. Two Chinese players play together in the NBA."

……

The fourth pick, the Memphis Grizzlies, took Mike Conley almost without any suspense. This team, which is in desperate need of a point guard, also ushered in a qualified commander.

The fifth pick, the Boston Celtics, chose the dropped Al Horford. Originally they chose Jeff Green at this pick, but Al Horford's value is obviously higher, and he will In the trade between the Boston Celtics and the Sonics, he went to Seattle to form a twin star with Kevin Durant.

Well, this combination seems to be okay. Al Horford is good at defensive support and stable output inside, while Kevin Durant is good at scoring.

The sixth pick belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks. Their plan to intercept Hu Yi Jianlian failed after all. In history, although Yi Jianlian refused the Milwaukee Bucks' trial training, the arrogant Milwaukee Bucks still forcibly Bring Yi Jianlian to the Bucks.

It probably means that I don’t know if the melon is sweet or not, so twist it down and taste it first.

They didn't hesitate for too long, and chose Jeff Green, who had a high voice, as a supplement for the third and fourth positions.

The next draft picks are more normal.

With the seventh pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Al Horford's teammate, Corey Brewer of the University of Florida.

Although the company commander did not make a big difference in the NBA, he is still good as a marginal starter and a high-quality substitute. He even scored 51 points in a single game. It is not too bad for the Timberwolves to choose him.

Eighth pick: Philadelphia 76ers.

In history, this should have been the draft position of the Charlotte Bobcats, but it was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers at the moment. They still chose Thaddeus Young, the [-]th pick Thaddeus Young, just like in history Jumped four picks directly.

Ninth pick: Chicago Bulls.

This is the draft pick that the Chicago Bulls got after making a deal with the New York Knicks before. They also chose Joakim Noah from the University of Florida without any surprise.

This was a very wise choice, and in the next year they ushered in Derrick Rose and became one of the powerhouses in the Eastern Conference. Although they did not get involved in the finals, they once brought the Chicago Bulls hope of revival.

Tenth pick: New Orleans Hornets.

……

No.18 pick: Charlotte Bobcats.

After the Washington Wizards picked Nick Young at No. 17, it was finally time for the Bobcats to choose a player.

Sean Williams.

This is a player from Boston. He was also a well-known power forward in the United States in high school, but he was expelled from the team for violating team rules many times because of a drug. This kind of player with bad conduct, but the management of the Bobcats thinks that this kind of player can be reformed, just like scratching a prize, scratch and see.

Other names in the first round, such as the Italian sharpshooter Belinelli, was brought back by the Golden State Warriors with the 19th pick. From the current point of view, his style of play is very suitable for the current crazy Warriors; Will Sen Chandler was brought back by the Philadelphia 23ers with the 76rd pick, which is also the result of historical changes; Aaron Brooks eventually went to Houston, although the pick fell one; Rudy Fernandez went to the San Antonio Spurs, Well, the Spurs have a special ability to select and train international players. Whether this forward from Spain can change his fate in the Spurs is unknown; Aaron Afflalo still went to the Detroit Pistons .

The second round is mostly losers.

Carl Landry, a mid-first-round prospect, ended up going to the Seattle SuperSonics, but was traded to the Houston Rockets on the same day.

Josh McRoberts, the once-famous No. 36 power forward in the United States, was not brought back by the Indian Pacers until the [-]th overall pick; Glenn Davis went to the Sonics, but should soon be traded to Boston Kyle special people.

Spain's center Gasol was selected by the Lakers with the 49th overall pick, and in the days to come, he will soon exchange clubs with his brother Paul Gasol, each with their own achievements.

The Chinese player Sun Yue was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 41st overall pick. Although the Lakers dropped one, Sun Yue was still selected by the Lakers.

As for Zhou Lin, I have inquired with the management here. If Sun Yue falls to the 47th pick, the Charlotte Bobcats will most likely choose him.

On the Charlotte Bobcats side, at the 47th pick, they chose a guard. After all, the previous draft pick has already selected an insider.

Ramon Sessions.

This backcourt player from the University of Nevada still has a certain strength, and coincidentally, he did have the experience of playing for the Bobcats for a period of time in his career, and he was the team's first substitute Point guard, double-digit scoring efficiency is not bad.

This is apparently what the Bobcats use to back up Raymond Felton.

Although the Houston Rockets had the No. 55 pick, they selected Samaai Mega and handed it to the Milwaukee Bucks.

With the end of the draft, the NBA trading market is surging again.

Television news soon broke the trade made by the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics send point guard West, forward Serbiak and this year's fifth overall pick Al Horford to Seattle, and the Sonics send guard Ray Allen to the Celtics in the East In addition, the Celtics also won the Sonics' 35th overall pick this year.

This is just the beginning of the deal, and Angie of the Celtics is still brewing a big move to get Garnett to the Celtics.

And at this moment, a piece of news broke out that made Zhou Lin feel terrified.

The Charlotte Bobcats also joined the ranks of the Wolf King Garnett.

And this is what Thomas Jackson told himself.

The wolf king Garnett has reached an agreement with the management, and the Minnesota Timberwolves put Garnett on the shelf and announced the reconstruction. They have already started contacting other teams and are listening to offers from various teams.

Michael Jordan also wanted to get involved.

"The Bobcats, what chips can you come up with?"

Zhou Lin was slightly puzzled. To be honest, Zhou Lin really couldn't think of a lot of rookies in Charlotte, so why would he trade for the wolf king with such a high salary?

"Anyone, even you." Thomas Jackson said on the phone.

The NBA is a ruthless trading field. As long as the price you offer is high enough, any transaction is possible. Zhou Lin firmly believes in this.

"I'm sure I can't be the subject of the transaction, can I?"

Zhou Lin had a very bad guess.

Thomas Jackson didn't make a fool of himself and said: "They want to trade Gerald Wallace, trade back and forth, with Brezek, Matt Carroll's expiring contract, and four years after next year. A draft pick, to trade for the Wolf King."

"It's a good deal, if it works out."

This is a typical change of change for whole money, and once the Charlotte Bobcats get Garnett, it is the rhythm of a complete take-off.

"But the Timberwolves didn't agree. They asked to add you to the deal, and make the deal with you and Gerald Wallace as the main body."

"Is there any chance of success?"

Zhou Lin just bought a house in Charlotte, so he's going west?To be honest, Zhou Lin was reluctant.

"It's possible, but it won't be particularly big." Thomas Jackson said: "Now there are at least 10 teams interested in Garnett, and they are all willing to spend everything to buy Kevin Garnett."

"In my opinion, the Boston Celtics have the best hope. Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett's childhood friendship is one aspect, and they have already got super shooter Ray Allen. The only thing to consider now is how to split the lineup to satisfy the general manager of the Timberwolves, Mike Hale. Of course, don’t forget that Mike Hale is also half a Bostonian.”
