Huaxia's second NBA No. [-] pick!

Seven years after Yao Ming was elected as the No. 02 pick in the NBA in 7, the Chinese basketball world finally ushered in a new No. [-] pick again!
All the fans in the Sina live broadcast room immediately sent a message of celebration: Congratulations to Lin Ri for becoming the champion!
Soon, similar messages began to scroll on the discussion board.

The speed of this message scrolling is enough to show the number of fans watching the live broadcast, and it is also enough to show how excited the Huaxia fans are at the moment!
All the cameras on the scene were also shown to Lin Ri for the first time.

At this moment he is the center of NBA attention!
Everyone, including the fans, the general managers of the teams in the back row, and the other rookies in 09 who were sitting around, at this moment, all eyes were on Lin Ri.

I have regrets that I wished for!

There is also the envy that is longing but unattainable!
And, of course, Steve Kerr's relief watching Lin Day finally don the Suns cap.

This guy was finally taken down by me!
However, if you look carefully, Steve Kerr is still tense at this moment, as if there is still something unfinished...

Lin Ri took the Suns cap handed to him by the staff next to him, and walked towards the stage with a smile under the continuous flash of the camera next to him.

There Stern was also waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, the sun, I hope you can become a symbol of Chinese basketball like Yao." David Stern stretched out his hand.

"This is my goal, thank you for your words, Mr. President!" Lin Ri immediately extended his hand, looked at the camera with David Stern, and took a group photo with him.

This is destined to be a classic photo for the Chinese basketball world.

When recalling the Chinese people in the early NBA n years later, Yao Ming will be remembered by fans as the first NBA champion in China, and Lin Ri will inevitably be discussed by fans as the second NBA champion in China.

At the same time, he is also the first Chinese player to enter the league through NCAA.

To some extent, this is a kind of land reclamation!
Because this gives Huaxia players more choices, and it is no longer just the way of institutional basketball...

If Lin Ri looked back at his choice, he should also be glad that he took the ncaa path, otherwise, at the age of 19, it would be a bit difficult to participate in the draft.

It is even more impossible for the market to think so well!
"call!"

"I can finally relax."

Lin Ri returned to his position, and Chris showed a relieved expression... The cooked duck was eaten in his mouth after all.

Lin Ribai glanced at him, and then looked at James Harden next to him. Originally, he wanted to pretend to compare, but seeing James Harden's nervous expression, he changed his words: "Relax, James, you have to believe that you will not have any problems, and it will be your turn soon!"

James Harden nodded stiffly, and now he understood why his mother didn't come to see the results on the spot, he was indeed a little nervous!
"The second pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected... Blake Griffin, a sophomore from the University of Oklahoma."

Followed by the second pick, the Clippers chose Blake Griffin.

The choice of the Clippers is the same as the choice of Lin Ri by the Suns. It is not a surprising choice. After all, Blake Griffin is indeed the guy with the best performance in the joint trial training.

The Clippers have no reason not to draft him.

It's just that Griffin, wearing a Clippers cap, didn't look so happy.

Lin Ri was elected as the No. [-] pick, and this time he was overwhelmed again. This made him full of thoughts that "the beginning of the new season must give Lin Ri a little bit of trouble".

There is no thought of being happy for being the second place at all.

Then came the third pick in the first round.

"The Memphis Grizzlies chose ... Ricky Rubio, the Spanish player."

Ok?
what?
This……

Not only did the fans who watched the game not expect it, but there was also a lot of doubts at the scene.

Obviously, the Grizzlies' selection of Ricky Rubio was something that no one expected.

Since Ricky Rubio still has two years of unfulfilled contract with the Spanish league, and he himself has no intention of coming to the NBA, so before the draft, the "golden boy" Rubio's draft price has dropped from the top 3 to the top 5. In the opinion of most experts, no team should choose Ricky Rubio for the top three picks this year!
Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies accidentally selected him in this pick.

Chris Wallace felt the suspicious eyes from his colleagues, and a wry smile flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

No way, Lin Ri and Griffin have already been selected, and Hashem Thabeet exposed a huge problem after the ncaa game with Lin Ri, which made it impossible for him to select this guy with the third overall pick in the first round.

But apart from Thabeet, there were basically no players to choose from in the inside market in 09, so Chris Wallace and the Grizzlies turned their attention to the outside.

At this time Ricky Rubio appeared in their field of vision.

Mike Conley, who was drafted by them in 07, averaged only 10.9 points and 4.3 assists per game last season. Compared with the data of 9.4 points and 4.2 assists in his rookie season, it hardly produced much increase.

This may be a "waste number"...

Considering this possibility, the Grizzlies finally won the "golden boy" Rubio with the third overall pick.

Anyway, the latter will not come to the NBA for the time being, and they are just training in the Spanish League. If Mike Conley becomes a "waste", they will not have no backup candidates for the No. [-] position.

As for the inside line that has always been a problem, well, I heard that there will be quite a few inside line talents in next year's draft...

"Guru~"

James Harden swallowed his throat unconsciously when David Stern announced the fourth pick in the next first round. He was obviously more nervous than before.

It seems that the Thunder made a promise!

Looking at him, Lin Ri could more or less guess the reason.

If going to the Thunder...

The Thunder currently only have Russell Westbrook on the perimeter. Although Kevin Durant is also a power forward who needs the ball, in general, there is still a living environment, and a bad team has a lot of room for newcomers to develop. If James is really selected, it is a good choice for him...

At least among the remaining top seven teams, the New York Knicks have no rookie core for the time being. Other teams, in fact, are the same wherever they go, and they have to rely on themselves to fight for opportunities.

"The fourth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected...James Harden, a sophomore from Arizona State University!"

In Lin Ri's cranky thinking, David Stern announced the Thunder's final choice, no surprise, it was James Harden.

Harden also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, took the Thunder team cap, hugged Lin Ri, and then walked towards David Stern with a blank expression.

"Okay, very good, a No. [-] pick, and a fourth in the first round, very good!" Sandek, who was far away in Arizona State University, showed a satisfied smile when he saw James Harden on stage.

In his opinion, the rankings of his two disciples are very ideal rankings!
What about Jeff?
"It would be nice if Jeff could be selected in the first round too..." Sandek still had one last thing to worry about.

He wants all three guys to have the best start they can.

Of course, if the three of them can really be selected in the first round together, then Arizona State University's enrollment this summer will undoubtedly be much easier... This is something for sure.

"With the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks selected... Tyreke Evans, a freshman from the University of Memphis!"

With the fifth pick in the first round, the New York Knicks finally selected Tyreke Evans.

Donnie Walsh was quite surprised to be able to select this rookie with a strong outside talent. He thought that after the first four picks, at most James Harden would be left, but this guy's temperament does not match the New York Knicks, so Donnie Walsh originally chose Stephen Curry.

Unexpectedly!

Evans was actually left behind!
Hahahaha...

That's just right, God help me too!

The sluggish Knicks ball market has ushered in such a rookie with a strong style of play, revitalization is just around the corner!

This is the best arrangement!

Donny Walsh was very happy, and when Evans came on stage and shook hands with David Stern, he also applauded.

As he clapped, "Babyface" Steph Curry showed a look of frustration.

When he went to New York for trial training, Donny Walsh clearly said that he would be chosen.

Unexpectedly, the kind-looking old man broke his promise.

However, before he could feel more frustrated, his agent suddenly looked down at the text message, and then leaned in front of him and said to him: "Man, get ready, we are going to play!"

Ok?
play?

What are you playing?

Stephen Curry glanced at the big screen. The next pick was the New Jersey Nets. He didn't remember going to the Nets for a trial!

What is he preparing?
"Okay, let's continue..." David Stern moved his face that was already a little stiff from laughing, and continued like an emotionless broadcast machine, announcing the ownership of the next pick: "In the 09 draft... the Nets chose... Stephen Curry, a junior at Davidson College!"

The Nets drafted me?
Stephen Curry took the Nets cap handed over by the staff next to him in a daze, and walked towards the stage.

why?
Stephen Curry wants to cry... What kind of place is New Jersey!
Looking at his back, Steve Kerr, who had been nervous all the time, let out a breath slowly, and he said in his heart: It's done!

What he didn't notice was that the faces of the Golden State Warriors uniform team not far away from him became ugly...

　Thanks to Fan Zhen for the 500 coins.

　　Say two old news.

　　One is that Steve Kerr left the Suns not because he was fired, but because he resigned. It happened after the 09 draft. According to later news, this guy left the Suns because Stephen Curry was not selected.

　　There is another news that many people should know, that is, Cole personally admitted that he went to the Warriors as the head coach to coach Curry.

　　But whether these two news are true or not, I don't know.

　　Of course, these two pieces of news are indeed a basis for me to write this plot. Anyway, the plot of the draft is almost over here, and there will be another chapter ending tomorrow, and I will enter the free market...

　　Alright, that's all for now, let's continue to ask for recommendation tickets, brothers! ! ! !
