I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 60 060. NBA Draft (Recommendations)

The Timberwolves provided round-trip air tickets and a five-star hotel. If Rose didn't want to try out, Chen Long would have no interest in the Huskies at all.

Sitting on the plane to Minneapolis, Chen Long clicked on his personal panel.

Summary: The Chinese Dragon in the mature stage, the TOP.3 strongest Chinese men's basketball team in history
The Timberwolves who lost Garnett turned into Huskies in seconds, but Minnesota fans are very enthusiastic, which is very suitable for big men with potential to accumulate popularity, such as Eros.

Chen Long and Ross finished two days of trial training hastily, and then returned to Chicago.

The NBA officially invited Chen Long and Derrick Rose to enter the small green room of the draft.

Because Rose wanted to take ten of his family members to the Big Apple to witness his highlight moment, Chen Long went to New York on his own.

Bill Duffy got the visas for Chen Long's parents, and Chen Long's family of three met in New York.

The NBA draft is held on time in the theater at Madison Square Garden.

There were Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue in last year's draft, and CCTV media specially reported the whole process of the draft.

This year, Chen Long is expected to become the second champion of Chinese nationality after Yao Ming.

14 super rookies, including Chen Long, entered the small green room.

The four-member group of on-site commentators specifically mentioned the amazing performances of young international players represented by Chen Long in the NCAA and overseas competitions.

The lottery team's pick order appeared on the big screen of the draft.

When David Stern stepped onto the podium, the LED screen behind him began to scroll and play the Chicago Bulls logo.

Everyone, including the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean, waited with bated breath for this small but kind-looking old gentleman to announce the title of champion——

"The first pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Chen Long from China, from the University of Memphis."

The big screen was aimed at Chen Long, who hugged his parents, and the staff handed over the Chicago Bulls cap.

The camera immediately shifted to Derrick Rose, and the Son of the Windy City did not lose his expression. Instead, he was the first to stand up and applaud Chen Long.

In Rose's eyes, brother Chen Long is worthy of the title of champion.

On the other side, Michael Beasley couldn't hide his disappointment. He avoided Oden and Durant in 07, but he didn't escape Chen Long and Rose.

Chen Long put on a Bulls cap and walked onto the high stage.

David Stern walked forward with a smile and shook hands with Chen Long for a group photo.

Looking at the NBA frenzy triggered by Chen Long, David Stern thought of how difficult it was to knock on the door of China back then, and how sweet the fruits of victory are now.

Unlike Yao Ming who was questioned by the audience when he was elected the No. 2002 pick in [-], what Chen Long received was endless applause and cheers.

The on-site commentary mentioned Chen Long's background, Chen Long's amazing performance in the NCAA, especially the unprecedented quadruple-double performance in the finals, calling him the Chinese Dragon!
Chen Long sat in front of Kenny Smith for an interview.

In the lower left corner of the screen, Chen Long's dynamic talent and nickname China Dragon were displayed.

"I've known you would be favored by the Chicago Bulls, I've known." Kenny Smith exclaimed.

Chen Long smiled and nodded in response, but his attention was still on the draft.

At this time, there was a second wave of cheers at the scene.

The display behind David Stern was replaced by the Miami Heat.

"The Miami Heat selected Derrick Rose with the second overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft out of the University of Memphis."

Chen Long showed a rather satisfied expression, because Rose was far stronger than Michael Beasley.

Derrick Rose put on a Heat cap and walked up to the stands to shake hands with David Stern.

But when Rose walked off the broadcast stage to take a makeup photo in front of the backdrop, the staff handed him a Chicago Bulls cap.

Derrick Rose was stunned, and the staff explained, "Derrick Rose, you have been traded to the Chicago Bulls."

"Walter???" Rose's expression changed from surprise to ecstasy, because it meant he could continue to play with Chen Long.

Chicago Bulls general manager Paxson made one of the biggest decisions yet.

The Bulls sent Kirk Hinrich, who was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team, Ben Gordon, who won the Sixth Man of the Year award in his rookie season, and 'Big Ben' Ben Wallace, to the Miami Heat in exchange for Sean Marion, Daequan Cook and rookie Derrick Rose.

Kenny Smith heard the news through the headset and said with a smile, "Aaron, I have good news and bad news, which one should I hear first?"

Chen Long was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Good news."

"The Chicago Bulls traded for Derrick Rose."

"Water???" Chen Long had the same reaction as Rose. He really couldn't imagine what chips the Bulls could come up with to impress the old fox Pat Riley.

"What about the bad news? Is it because I'm going to Miami?" Chen Long's heart beat faster while speaking.

Kenny Smith shook his head and explained, "The bad news is that the Bulls lost three starters, Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon and Ben Wallace."

"Who are the other bargaining chips that the Heat took out?" Chen Long asked.

"Sean Marion and Daequan Cook," Kenny Smith replied.

Hearing this, Chen Long heaved a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing, "Pat Riley made a mistake."

Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Big Ben are all immediate combat powers. Conversely, Marion, who left the Suns, will no longer be as brave as before. Whether the second pick Rose and the second-year rookie Cook can play a qualified starting performance or not? an unknown.

Kenny Smith had a question mark on his face, thinking that the Heat obviously made a profit in this deal.

But Chen Long knows that the hacker Sean Marion is still the best Blank Filler. With Noah's own defensive system, the Bulls can show a good defensive performance.

As for Dai Quinn Cook's ability to shoot three-pointers, he was the champion of the 2009 NBA All-Star Three-pointer Contest. As long as he develops properly, he may not lose to Ben Gordon.

The Minnesota Timberwolves selected Michael Beasley with the third overall pick, and the Timberwolves general manager was secretly pleased that he had missed the mark.

The Sonics, who changed their names after the move, selected Russell Westbrook.

The Memphis Grizzlies drafted Kevin Love.

OJ Mayo, known as Jordan's successor, joined the New York Knicks.

At the end of the first round, the Chicago Bulls got the No. 36 pick through a trade with the Trail Blazers and selected Omer Asik.

All the draft results have been released, and the 2008 NBA Draft has come to a successful conclusion.

Future NBA stars such as Chen Long, Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love posed for photos in suits.

Standing in the C position of this group of 08 newcomers is the Chinese Chen Long!
