Chapter 680 "UCLA Double Junior" Starts NBA Career (Part [-])
For the NBA in June every year, there are two major events.

The first one is the finals.

The Boston Celtics led by Garnett, Pierce and Ray Allen defeated the Lakers led by Kobe Bryant 4:2.

Dawei's wish did not come true, "Lakers championship", can only wait until next season to call.

The Celtics won the championship again after many years, and they still defeated the old enemy Lakers, which is indeed of historical significance.

Perhaps a new round of "yellow-green war" will start again.

After the finals are over, it's time for the draft.

For those teams that are rebuilding like the Clippers, the draft is the most important stage for them throughout the season.

Inside Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Knicks, the 2008 draft is about to begin.

Popular players such as Love and Westbrook brought their families and friends to the round tables in the front row.

In less than an hour, they will officially become NBA players and start their careers.

So tonight may be the most important day in their lives so far for them.

Of course, Lan Shengli followed the general manager of the team to Madison Square Garden.

Although the team has clarified the draft plan, but just in case, it is necessary to be more careful and cautious.

"Welcome to New York, everyone, to Madison Square Garden. Today, we will hold the 2008 NBA draft here~!!"

The chairman of the NBA, David Stern, who has gray hair, came to the stage and said the opening remarks.

Both Love and Westbrook in the audience were chatting leisurely with their family members. They looked relaxed on the surface, but in fact they were very nervous inside.

Although I know that I will be selected, it is difficult to say which team will be selected by which team.

It is these uncertain factors that make the participating players very nervous.

Especially those players whose prospects are not optimistic, they want a miracle to happen~! !

"The Bulls' selection of Rose should be a certainty, and then,,,"

Behind the stage, Lan Shengli was making final preparations and analysis, looking very nervous.

The general manager is on the phone, and every draft night is also a time when transactions often occur.

Perhaps the Clippers are brewing a deal.

Not only the Clippers, but the other 29 teams are also busy. The efforts of this night may affect the team's trend in the next 10 or even 15 or 20 years.

The monitors on the stage were full of the team logo of the Chicago Bulls, which also told everyone which team the new No. [-] pick belonged to.

Soon, Stern returned to the stage with the envelope.

"In the 2008 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls selected ~ with the first pick,"

All eyes were on Stern who was reading the contents of the envelope.

Even the team employees busy backstage were watching.

And every time Stern reads the most critical moment, he has to pause, which has become a "classic".

"Derek Rose~ from the University of Memphis~!!"

Without any accidents, Ross, the "son of the wind" who was born and raised in Chicago, became the No. 2008 pick in the [-] draft.

Just like Oden was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers last year, this No. [-] pick is basically a default decision, and no one can shake their absolute No. [-] status.

After hearing this, Rose smiled like a flower with his usual restrained expression, and hugged his family tightly, enjoying the joy of this moment of success.

Can Rose, the "rose", bloom in his hometown and lead the Bulls to reshape the glory of the Triple Crown era~? !It depends on the next performance.

"Yeah!!!"

The fans of the Bulls are also extremely excited. They finally got a player who can be said to be the most talented and potential player after Michael Jordan.

Next up is the Miami Heat with the No. [-] pick.

Compared with the No. [-] pick, this lottery is very mysterious.

Beasley, who is known as the most capable person in the NCAA, and Mayo, who is known as the combination of James and Paul, are quite competitive.

Just look at how the Heat will choose, this is also a "happiness trouble".

"The Heat already have Wade on the back line, so it is unlikely to choose Mayo, but a player like Beasley doesn't seem to be a good match with Wade~!! It's really not good Choose~!! But usually at this time, the team will choose the player with better talent~!!"

Lan Shengli shook his head, said in distress, and then analyzed.

Soon, Stern was back on stage, envelope in hand, ready to announce the No. [-] pick.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the Miami Heat selected with the second overall pick, Michael Beasley~!!"

Sure enough, in the end, the Heat chose the "better talent" player.

Beasley became the new partner of "The Flash".

Whether these two people can produce a good chemical reaction is the key to whether the Heat can return to the championship team.

You know, the Heat were a championship team two years ago.

Although Mayo was not selected by the Heat, he was quickly taken away.

In the third overall pick, Mayo was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Tanhua was born~! !
Here, Mayo has put on the Timberwolves' brain and shook hands with Stern, but there has been news from the backstage that Mayo has been traded, and his "new owner" is the Memphis Grizzlies where Gasol Jr. belongs.

The two sides exchanged first-round draft picks, or promised to choose the teams they want for each other and come to a "cooperation".

This is the NBA, transactions exist all the time.

"It's good to be able to go to the Grizzlies. It seems that the Grizzlies really want to train Mayo well. If Mayo can be more diligent and hardworking, and his attitude is correct, his ability will definitely be fine. It’s really exciting to match Gasol’s inside and outside line~!”

Lan Shengli sighed immediately.

"Combined with the striker Rudy Gay, the speed of the Grizzlies' rebuilding is good, and the thinking is very clear~!! But, can Gasol Jr. enter the NBA next season~?!"

Lan Shengli was puzzled.

In this way, the champion, evening and Tanhua have all come out, basically there is no suspense and no accidents.

Soon it will be the Seattle SuperSonics with the fourth overall pick.

"Who will Mr. Brooks help the Sonics choose~?!"

Lan Shengli also thought about it here.

Soon, Stern was back on stage again.

"In the 2008 NBA Draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected with the fourth pick~"

"Could it be~?! Is it~?!"

Seeing Stern reading, Lan Shengli suddenly became nervous unconsciously.

"Russell Westbrook from UCLA~!!!"
