Standing pretty old

Chapter 676

Of course the Warriors are not crazy, they just decided to rebuild, in order to shape Monta Ellis into the new core of the team, they did not hesitate to send the second scorer of last season - Jamal Crawford, who averaged 19.7 points per game Germany.

Although Billy Knight's "flying fairy" trick made it particularly exciting, before and after the draft, the most eye-catching trading team did not belong to the Atlanta Hawks.

The New Jersey Nets succeeded in stealing the spotlight. They made two big deals that shocked the league, sending out the team's generals-Richard Jefferson and Vince Carter.

The Nets first traded Jefferson to the Spurs in exchange for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Argentine center Oberto.

This was simply a free gift, because Bowen announced his retirement shortly thereafter, Thomas was too old, and Oberto was cut directly.

However, according to the usual practice, the data of players who go to the Spurs will decline, and their athletic ability will also enter a period of decline, so Jefferson's future is also extremely worrying.

And shortly after that, the Nets made another trade, they sent Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson, traded from the Orlando Magic for Ralph Alston, Tony Barty and Courtney* plum.

Some experts commented that the Nets have only one goal in the new season - to compete for the No. 2010 pick in [-].

The trading market is in turmoil, but the draft is still going on as usual.

I don't know why, but after the 07 and 08 drafts, the experts swear that the 09 draft is definitely a young draft year, except for the top few players, the others are not worth looking forward to.

Ruan Erniu scoffed at this statement, at least he himself didn't think this rookie class was really as bad as the experts said.

On June 2009, 6, in the theater at Madison Square Garden, the NBA Draft 25 officially began.

This is probably the most suspenseful No. [-] pick in the past three years. The Los Angeles Clippers did not hesitate to use the No. [-] pick to win Blake Griffin from Oklahoma.

What's interesting is that the guy whose surname is "Griffin", the draft template given by ESPN is Kraft Nguyen.

That's right, for fans in the United States, the expectation for the No. 2 pick is that he can become the second Ruan Erniu, so as to form a competitive situation with the Celestial Man who has only entered the league for 1 years and has grown into No. [-] in active service.

The wish of American fans is destined not to be realized so quickly. Also this summer, Griffin missed the entire 09-10 season because of a stress fracture in his left kneecap.

This can't help but make the Clippers sweat up and down. Two seasons have passed, and the No. [-] pick in Portland still hasn't been able to fulfill his talent and has been in the shadow of injuries. Griffin will not become the second Auden?

With the second pick, the Grizzlies chose Hashim Thabeet, a guy from Tanzania who is considered the second Mutombo, but can this genius who only started playing basketball at the age of 15 fulfill his promise? Talent, it is still difficult to judge.

With the third pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected James Harden from Arizona State University.

Er Niu said that he knew this guy. He is a well-known figure in PAC-10 (Pacific Ten Schools Alliance, the alliance where UCLA is located). Naturally, the UCLA party has discussed him. This guy's beard is still very short, so we can vaguely draw conclusions :
He has an awl face!

With the fourth pick, the Sacramento Kings, who have played two internationalist fighters for the Eagles in the past two years, chose Tyreke Evans, who is considered to be LeBron James in the backcourt.

With the fifth pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves chose Ricky Rubio. Unexpectedly, this golden boy from Spain, who will be called "road sign" (Rubio's pinyin) by Chinese fans in the future, did not play until the 11-12 season. , finally ended the contract with the parent team, officially landed in the NBA, and the long-awaited standard began to come out.

With the sixth pick, the Timberwolves, who hoarded draft picks, selected Jonny Flynn.

Immediately after the seventh pick, the Golden State Warriors selected an elementary school student named Stephen Curry with the No. 7 pick.

Yes, he is a primary school student.

The moment he saw Curry wearing the Warriors cap, Ruan Erniu really had the urge to call the police directly. The NBA has started recruiting child labor. This problem is very serious!
Fortunately, Babyface's personal resume was quickly released on the screen. I didn't know if I didn't read it. I was shocked when I saw it. Er Niu remembered that in the year he played in the NCAA, Curry was already in The Davidson Wildcats became famous.

The guy who looks like a primary school student is already a junior?

This is simply destroying the three views, the age is about the same, and the face is completely different from the same age!

Er Niu is somewhat envious of Curry's tenderness, but Curry himself is very troubled by the baby-faced appearance.

Not to mention, just because he is obviously an adult, but he has to bring his ID card to go to bars and nightclubs, it is enough to make people depressed.

With the 8th overall pick, Jordan Hill was selected by New York; with the 9th overall pick, DeMar DeRozan was selected by the Raptors; with the 10th overall pick, Brandon Jennings was selected by the Bucks.

As the draft continued, it was no surprise that Tyler Hansbrough, who had made a big splash in the NCAA, did not make it to the first echelon. According to NBA standards, Hansbrough was not the kind of outstanding talent.

It wasn't until the 13th pick that Larry Bird, the white general manager, gave Hansbrough a chance, and the Pacers finally selected him.

The draft continued, and UCLA alumni Zhu Holiday and "senior senior" Darren Collison were both selected.

Then, a scene that made the Eagles nervous appeared. The Sacramento Kings selected Omi Casspi with the 23rd overall pick. .

Fortunately, the subsequent draft finally did not catch the Eagles by surprise. Players were selected one by one. The Chicago Bulls selected USC's Tai Gibson with the 26th overall pick, and with the 27th overall pick, the Eagles finally won their final option—— DeMarre Carroll.

Although Carroll's skills are rough, but with his explosive physical fitness, he can bring a little help to the Eagles on the defensive end, and it is not in vain for the Eagles to sign him with the first round pick.

In the second round of the draft, the mentality of the Eagles management was even more relaxed.

They successfully got Patrick Mills with the 19th pick in the second round, and successfully completed the goals they set before the draft.

Next, they just need to make up the remaining players they need in the summer.

Of course, before the regular season, the team will generally expand to about 20-22 people, and in the early stage of the regular season, they will cut off the players who are not needed, thin the lineup into a final roster of 15 people, and then put Three of them were transferred or placed on the injured list, and only 3 were left on the final list for the competition.

Not long ago, Ruan Erniu, the defending champion, was eager to try for the new season.

Successful people are always like this. After achieving staged success, they will continue to move quickly towards new goals.

Er Niu packed his bags, and after Eddie finished the exam, he sent her to the boy scout summer camp in the United States, and after spending a few days with Dr. Han himself, he also boarded the flight to Los Angeles.

In the City of Angels, he is going to start this summer's advanced education and special training program.
