Chapter 3: Big upset (seeking collection)
Chapter 3 3. Big Unpopular (For Collection)
Going to the Pistons, Anthony must think more about his actions, and he must also consider the actual situation in order to become bigger and stronger.
But to the Nuggets, it's not immediately his world.
Thinking of this, Anthony felt a blessing in disguise.
He is very confident in himself.
There is already a way. Anthony was a little cautious, but now the boss has lost his breath and complained to Liu Xiu: "Jess, if you are thinner and control your body shape well, you must have a higher probability of being selected."
Liu Xiu looked at Anthony, and now he is not fat, but very thin and muscular.
Liu Xiu nodded and replied, "Don't worry, one day you will get fat too."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"What if you do gain weight?"
"If I really get fat, I'll give it to you..."
"You're doing a headstand shampoo on a live show across the United States!"
“???”
Anthony wanted to bet $100, but this guy actually said such a weird punishment.
Anthony wanted to refuse, but seeing Liu Xiu's "you never dare" look in his eyes, he blurted out: "Betting is betting!"
Before gaining weight, Anthony did not think that he would become fat in the future, and decided to accept it.
It’s just that Anthony felt something was wrong after he responded, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong…
The draft was going on. On Liu Xiu's side, after noticing that Anthony's mood was rising, he returned to the mentality of the onlookers.
Liu Xiu knew that he would definitely not be selected at such a high pick, and after the top three picks, his attention was not completely focused on the stage.
He opened the system panel.
"Name: Liu Xiu, English name: Jess.
Age: 21 (February 17, 1982)
Height: 188 cm, Weight: 93 kg.
's team: Syracuse University Orangemen (withdrawn).
Achievements: 2002-2003 NCAA Basketball Championship.
Data: In the 2002-2003 season, averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2 steals per game…”
Fat or not fat depends on whose eyes.
Compared with most of the members of the Little Green House, Liu Xiu is definitely fat, and his abdominal muscles are integrated, just like Baron Davis, there is no outline when he relaxes.
The flesh is much tighter than ordinary people, and I really can't say fat. After all, he is an athlete, and his body is closer to ordinary people with a little weight. Compared with his teammates, he looks fatter, but it makes him more popular among school team fans. .
Liu Xiu reviewed his college performance. Although he is 21 years old and a junior, he actually only played this year.
He only started to get in touch with college basketball in his junior year. He didn't have a chance to play in the opener, he started in the middle of the season, and he became the team's second-leading scorer in March Madness. He averaged 15 points and 6 assists per game in those 6 games... This is him. There is a core reason for the high prospect.
His current size is also one of the reasons for his high prospect in a certain way.
But the 21-year-old is indeed a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
Just in case?
So he got a ridiculously wide range of draft expectations from the middle of the first round to the undrafted.
Liu Xiu didn't know which pick he would be selected in, and even prepared to lose the selection, keeping his expectations to a minimum.
He even thinks that he can get the draft expectations in the middle of the first round by relying on the league to select him into the small green room.
Therefore, he chose to watch the draft with the mentality of the onlookers. Even if he was not selected, or the draft was too low to be valued, at least he spent a few days in the hotel provided by the league to the members of the small green house, and he could still watch it on the spot. The draft is much better than other low-draft rookies.
'In the draft, there is a chance that there will be a team betting on me, the 2003 class is a bit difficult...'
'I'm lucky to be selected, there is a summer league game, if you are guaranteed in the first round, you don't have to worry so much, the second round or lose... One step is a step. ’
After Anthony, Bosh and Wade were selected fourth and fifth, respectively.
Bosh was selected by the Raptors with the fourth overall pick. The rookies on the scene were not surprised, but the Heat did not choose Chris Kaman!
In the trial phase, Pat Riley caught Bosh, Kaman, Hinrich and bragged to the sea, the next Garnett, the next Mourning, the next Stockton... People think that the Heat will Choose one of the three, among which Kaman has the highest voice for the top five picks. In the earliest prediction, Kaman may even be selected for the top three picks.
Wade, although not as well-known in the United States as Milicic, but the draft is only expected to be around the tenth pick.
However, there was an amazing move by the Pistons ahead. Wade was selected with the fifth overall pick, which caused little waves, but it was an upset.
Immediately afterwards, Kaman, who thought he was going to join the Heat, was selected with the sixth pick. Another rookie, Kirk Hinrich, who wanted to join the Heat, was selected by the Bulls with the seventh pick.
Liu Xiu kept staring at Wade when he saw Hinrich walking onto the stage shaking hands with David Stern...'No wonder he caught Wade and beat him to death later when he had a chance...'
Liu Xiu thought of the first round of the 2006-07 playoffs in the original time and space. The defending champion was swept away, and Hinrich won a 5-year 50 million contract that he should not have gotten due to his strength.
The Bucks took TJ Ford with the eighth overall pick.
The Bucks, who have not agreed to renew their contract with Payton, will definitely choose TJ-Ford or Hinrich. At the beginning, the Bucks' target was not TJ-Ford, but TJ-Ford actually fell to the eighth pick. , of course to win.
The Knicks selected Georgia State's Michael Sweetney with the ninth overall pick.
The Wizards selected another Georgia State talent, Jarvis Hayes, with the 10th overall pick.
Both of them, Liu Xiu has an impression. In the round of 16, the opponent Syracuse University defeated was the Georgia State University Bulldogs. This team has many talented players who may enter the NBA, and their strength is stronger than that of Bosh. Georgia Tech Strong.
With the deepening of the draft, the remaining members of the Little Green House who were not selected no longer care about the number of picks, and they no longer feel resentful that they were not selected in a higher order. They just want to hear about themselves immediately. name.
They've panicked, now the problem is that they haven't been picked yet!
Liu Xiu knows that the 2003 rookies can be called the platinum generation, purely based on the first few picks. The top players of this rookie are very top-notch, but the first-class stars and ordinary starter-level players are compared with ordinary draft years. They are not necessarily dominant, they are supported purely by high-end combat power.
But at the moment, people are very optimistic about this rookie. The expectations for them are a combination of the 96th + 97th. This kind of public opinion also makes the members of the Little Green House have high expectations for themselves.
However, Milicic and Wade were selected in the top five picks in front, and the Clippers and Bucks in the back selected Kaman and TJ-Ford, who they did not think they could choose, respectively. The whole draft was messed up. The Knicks and the Wizards, they simply gave up the people they originally planned to choose, and chose the two most talented people in the current perception.
After such a mess, the members of the Little Green House, who had already had expectations for a higher ranking, didn’t know where they were going.
More than half of the 19 members of the Green Room have been selected, and the rest include Brian Cook of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Michael Pietrus of France, Reese Gaines of the University of Louisville, Troy Bell of Boston College, Dunter Jones of Duke University, Zako Kabakapa of Serbia, Alexander Pavlovic of Montenegro, Travis of Starkville High School in Mississippi - Outlaw, and Liu Xiu.
The members of the Little Green House who have not yet been selected, including Liu Xiu, there are nearly half of the overseas players. There are 5 members of the Little Green House who have absolutely no American basketball experience in this draft. Except for Milicic, the others have not been selected. .
That's why Anthony can't even remember Milicic's name. He doesn't care about competitors who have no American basketball experience at all.
With the 11th overall pick, the second overseas player with no American basketball experience was selected, and the Warriors selected Michael Pietrus from the French Baofs team.
There are only two spots left in the lottery, and everyone is eagerly looking at David Stern, who is back on the stage again.
The name that David Stern pronounced this time is Nick Collison of the University of Kansas!
This guy is not a member of the Little Green House, but he is very famous. He represented the US team in the World Championships last year and was beaten by various European centers...
Seeing Nick Collison, who had been notified and rushed from the candidate room, the members of the Little Green Room who had not yet been selected did not have the heart to slander anything, and became more and more uneasy.
Rookie candidates, who wasn't a genius in high school and college? But when it came to the draft, the members of the small green house who had not yet been selected had already encountered the first big blow when they stepped into the society.
Now, there is only one lottery draw left!
is not just a matter of face.
Lottery teams, except the Pistons who got the Grizzlies' unprotected draft pick this year several years ago, all other lottery teams represent more opportunities.
The higher the , the weaker the team is. For rookies, this is an opportunity.
Even if it is only the 13th pick, for a rookie, there are more chances than a team further back in the draft.
Moreover, this year's 13th pick is not in the hands of the Rockets, who have won 45 wins and a basically neat starting lineup, but in the hands of the Grizzlies who originally won the second overall pick!
Compared to the Rockets' Francis, Mobley, and Yao Ming, the Grizzlies' Gasol, Shane Battier, and others looked obviously better to bully.
The rookies who were selected into the Little Green House regard themselves as future superstars.
What happened to the 13th pick? Still going to be a superstar!
Soon, a few minutes passed and David Stern was back on stage again.
When I opened the envelope and saw the name, my hand trembled, and the smile that emerged was not an official smile, but an unstoppable joy.
In the anticipation of the members of the Green Room who had not yet been selected, David Stern quickly cleared up the fluctuations in his mood, but his voice was obviously louder: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 2003 NBA draft, The Memphis Grizzlies selected the thirteenth pick with..."
The members of the Little Green House who have not yet been selected are particularly focused, and many people keep reciting their names, and they are more nervous than any previous rankings.
Even Liu Xiu became more concerned this time... He looked around at the members of the Little Green House who had not yet been selected. He really didn't remember who the thirteenth pick was, but this pick was always special. .
David Stern's smiling mouth ticked up again unconsciously, and continued: "...Chinese players from Syracuse University, slip!"
