The draft was held at Madison Square Garden, and this time there were two Chinese players running, so Chinese fans paid special attention to it.If Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian are both selected, there will be four Chinese players playing in the NBA, and the Chinese men's basketball team is unprecedentedly strong.Chinese fans hope that the Olympic men's basketball team can win the championship at home and create another miracle after the World Championships, and the NBA is the most suitable place for players to experience.After Yi Jianlian arrived in the United States, he called Wang Jun, and he was waiting for the results of the lottery in the "green room" to know if there was anything to pay attention to.Wang Jun said with a smile: "You are the first Chinese to sit in the green house, Yao Ming and I didn't go to the draft site, are you calling to show off" "Uh, I didn't mean that." ”"Just kidding, you don't have a sense of humor.The draft is just a formality, there's nothing to pay attention to, the main thing is that you have to let go of the team after you get in, don't be awkward, speak boldly, show boldly, you have to let the coaching staff know that you want the ball, no matter where you go. ”Yi Jianlian asked: "Won't this be bad, I'm just a newcomer." ”"If Milicic dares to stand up to Larry Brown in his first season, offer to play him or trade him, he can leave the Pistons for a season at most.Talent is only one aspect of success, you don't want to end up with him, it's better to show the side of others. ”"Thanks, I remember."
Yi Jianlian does not doubt Wang Jun's experience.He also called Yao Ming, and got a similar answer, Americans like confident people, not humble people.Wang Jun also thinks that black coaches are more and it is difficult to give foreign players a chance, and if you want to get ahead, it is better to go to a team with white coaches.He thought about it and didn't say anything, not wanting to scare Yi Jianlian.Sun Yue didn't call Wang Jun, and when they were on the national team, the two didn't talk much.At the start of the evening draft, the Bulls selected Oden with the No. 1 pick.Auden University has performed well, being named to the first team of USA Today and Prada magazine twice, and is not inferior to LeBron James.Oden's stats are not outstanding compared to the outside, this is because he started the game with a right hand injury, most of the time he attacked with his left hand, and his injury in the NCAA knockout game was basically healed, and he opened the bow left and right, and the stats immediately improved.Because of the injury, he only played an average of 289 minutes per game, but it was not as good as O'Neal's college stats that year.The Sharks had 139 points, 12 rebounds, 19 assists and 37 blocks in 281 minutes, and Oden had 157 points, 96 rebounds, 07 assists and 33 blocks in 289 minutes.The two were almost evenly matched, with Oden even better than O'Neal in the playoffs, shooting 628 from the free-throw line in his freshman year.Oden was also the biggest winner of the physical test, with outstanding jumps, 81 jumps on the spot, 86 runs, and a very good switchback run.Worried about the wrist injury, he did not take part in the bench press test.Judging from the items he participated in, he was the best comprehensive data among the rookie centers who participated in the physical test in recent years.The SuperSonics chose Durant.The 208-year-old Durant weighs only 97 kilograms, has a hemp stick body, and can't do a single bench press, but his flexibility is acceptable.Whether he can become a star is doubted by basketball experts.Al Horford joined the Trail Blazers as a prospect, and the NCAA Finals gave him and Noah both extra points.Draft predictions, many people think that Yi Jianlian will be selected third.That's not good news for Horford, as the Trail Blazers have a center curse, and from 1984 to the present, their center has suffered frequent injuries.The fourth Grizzlies drafted point guard McConley, Oden's college teammate.The fifth king chose Yi Jianlian.The Ma'rouf brothers have been very unlucky in the past two years, and hope that Yi Jianlian can become another Chinese star and help them make money.The Bucks chose Brandon Wright in sixth place, and they most wanted to choose Yi Jianlian, but unfortunately they were preempted by the Kings.Fortunately, the bucks are not in high order, and if he goes to that rotten place, Yi Jianlian can cry to death.Bogut didn't get much of the ball, and he just waited to be a blue-collar worker.Yi Jianlian also knew that Milwaukee was a rotten city, and had previously turned down a tryout from the Bucks.The Hawks selected Jeff Green for the seventh place, and from the perspective of the lineup, Green has some overlap with Marvin Williams and Josh Smith, all of whom are swinging at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, and it would be too wasteful to choose only to be a substitute.The Eagles are also helpless, and the big man center is not very attractive.Rather than pick Rough Noah, the Hawks management felt that it would be better to choose a mobile swingman who could learn the Bulls' small-ball tactics.The Timberwolves drafted Cory Brewer with the eighth pick, a swingman with outstanding physical qualities.The Bobcats drafted Joakim Noah, a blue-collar center with the ninth pick, who won't shoot.The 76ers drafted less athletic white center Hawes at No. 10.There were no particularly well-known players in the back, and the Pacers also wanted to pick a center, but Hawes was picked away.The forward swingman Thaddeus Young.Artest is clamoring for a move in the summer, and he won't be with the Pacers for long, just not having the right chips yet.There are now three players in the team with similar styles, Granger, Artest, and Thaddeus Young.This is still not counting Dunleavy, if there is no trade, there will definitely be players to be scrapped next season.The Hornets also wanted to pick a center, no strongman, and finally selected Jason Smith, and this summer the Hornets also wanted to trade Ben Wallace out, fed up with Big Ben's terrible free throws.The Rockets drafted a 180-man point guard, Aaron Brooks, the fastest of the rookies.After Van Gundy was cut, the Rockets set their sights on former Kings coach Adelman and prepared to fight for offense in the future.It's not actually a good choice.Adelman's tactical system emphasizes mobility, if he is very suitable for a team like the Bulls, how can Yao Ming, who has a big center, get up fast As long as he adheres to Yao Ming's low-post strong attack tactics, Princeton will not be able to play, which is definitely a test of Adelman's ability.If he let Yao Ming run, or respond in a high position, it would be a test for Yao Ming.The Knicks selected Finnish point guard Petri Kopponeng with the 30th pick, and Thomas went crazy again.The point guards on the team are already fighting for the ball, and choosing another one to do is because this young player has a contract and can't join the NBA Knicks for the time being, and the owner continues to let Thomas serve as coach and general manager, which makes people wonder if the two have any ulterior secrets.Otherwise, I really can't figure out why the boss reuses this kind of person.Thomas's stupidity isn't just about running the team, as he took the case against Saunders, the team's former senior deputy director of marketing and operations, who was taken to court.Unable to reach an out-of-court settlement, Federal Court Judge Gerard announced that the case would be heard again in September this year, and the outcome awaiting Thomas's guilt is highly likely.Sun Yue was selected by the Lakers in the second round of 40, and the Lakers' move was also to attract Chinese fans and increase attention, and they also selected Grizzlies star Pau Gasol's younger brother Mark Gasol with the 48th pick.The Bulls didn't pick any more people, and they couldn't develop low-pick rookies, so they traded the second-round pick to the Mavericks for a little cash.s:
