The Fifth Point Guard

Genius remember the site address for one second: [落秋中文] https://fastest update! No ads!

When Shen Tong and Avril Lavigne were sunbathing on the Hawaiian beaches, several NBA teams had already traveled to China to investigate and investigate the two Chinese basketball players who will run this year.

Yao Ming of Shanghai Oriental Sharks and Battle of Beijing Shougang.

As Shentong and Wang Zhizhi joined the Chinese market, American advertising companies, the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks all tasted the sweetness, which made other NBA teams jealous.

What's more, Shen Tong's eye-catching performance and Wang Zhizhi's efficient bench debut have convinced Americans that players from Asia can also gain a foothold in the NBA.

Therefore, Yao Ming and Battle, who participated in the draft this year, are undoubtedly the sticks of the rookie candidate.

There are rumors in the media that Popovich even flew to China for the purpose of Battel. Some people speculate that the Spurs' desire for Battle is destined to deal with the Lakers' inside Big Mac O'Neal.

After physical examination, the Spurs praised Battle's strength from top to bottom and looked very satisfied.

...

As expected by Shentong, Francis of the Rockets came to power on behalf of the team, with a very low probability of 8.9% to get the top pick of the year!

The Rockets flew to Shanghai to meet Yao Ming the first time they learned the draft.

The current domestic environment does not allow players to go to the United States for training before the draft, so basically American teams come to China to come in contact with players.

However, after the Rockets interviewed Yao Ming, Yao Ming's call to become the No. 1 pick was rising.

Some media even said that Francis had already filmed a video welcoming Yao Ming to join, ready to give it to Yao Ming.

...

June 26, 2002, Madison Square Garden, New York City.

The new draft conference kicked off.

As the outside world rumored, the Houston Rockets used the "unexpected" top pick to pick tall center Yao Ming from China.

Although Yao Ming did not go to the scene, he showed his Rockets cap and No. 11 Rocket jersey in front of the live camera.

Dayao in front of the camera looked shy, occasionally playing with the red bracelet on his left wrist.

Shen Tong, who watched the draft conference through live TV, knew that it was a token of love between him and Ye Li.

However, Shen Tong is actually somewhat entangled in his name.

Logically speaking, it is not an exaggeration to call Yao Ming Dayao or even Brother Yao, after all, he grew up watching Yao Ming's game.

But in this time and space, he is more advanced than Yao Ming in the NBA, even if he is called Xiao Yao or Yao Di, there is nothing wrong with it.

After tangled up, Shentong decided to give the name between the two to the date of birth to determine how it should be proportioned.

After comparison, Shentong is only 21 years old this year, and Yao Ming is 22 years old.

According to the birthday, Shentong should call Yao Ming Yao Ge, at least it must be Day Yao.

But after the comparison was confirmed, Shentong decided to put this question first...

...

The top list is a familiar face.

Jay Williams, the super defender who met the Arizona Wildcats in the NCAA finals last summer with Shentong.

He was selected by the Chicago Bulls.

They believe that Williams is the most skilled player in this rookie.

Although he missed Yao Ming, the Bulls didn't feel sorry.

In the face of the interview, Williams even said that he thought Yao Ming could be the No. 1 pick in the Chinese market. When it comes to ball skills, he is the best choice.

Williams, who can play combo guard in college, will be the main point guard in the NBA.

Shen Tong took a bite of Apple and laughed involuntarily, "This guy must at least learn to pass! Wait..."

Shentong seemed to remember something.

...

The Golden State Warriors held the No. 3 pick, a position that once warned the Warriors' management.

With the exception of Yao Ming and Jay Williams, the rest of the players seem to have similar strengths, and there is no one that can stand out from the crowd with their own characteristics.

Finally, the tradition of bombarding the team led them to select Mike Dunleavy, a swingman from Duke University.

In the case of picky eyes, Duke University has become a gold sign.

He and Jay Williams are teammates, and the quality of the players produced by Duke is not bad.

Sean Battier of the last edition is a good example.

...

The fourth appearance of the Memphis Grizzlies chose Drew Gooden, a junior at the University of Kansas.

This 2.08-meter power forward is not a small start. This season, he led the University of Kansas to the NCAA Final Four for the first time since 1993 and won a number of personal honors.

"ESPN Magazine" forward of the year, "American Basketball" player of the year, "Sports News" national best team, "Basketball Times" national best team, Associated Press national best team, NCAA Central and Western Conference best player and many more...

Paul Gasol paired with Drew Gooden, and the Grizzlies have an inside line in the new season.

...

The Denver Nuggets used the fifth pick to pick Georgia power forward Nick Rhodes Schistivili.

The player who played for the Spanish League has high hopes for the Nuggets.

With a height of 2.13 meters, playing in the European League, and a long-range effort, the Nuggets hope he can become the next Nowitzki.

However, Shentong knows that the Nuggets' wishful thinking may fail.

...

The Cleveland Cavaliers with the sixth overall pick selected a defender, Da Juan Wagner.

This 1.91-meter shooting guard is slightly shorter in the second position, but he has an extraordinary speed and a powerful scoring ability.

In his final year at Camden High School, this guy averaged 42.5 points per game and scored 100 points in a game against Grochester College!

That's right, he is the guy with 100 points in a single game.

In that year, Wagner was selected as the player of the year by "USA Today" and won the trophy of Naismith Player of the Year.

He played only one season at the University of Memphis, broke the single-season scoring record in the history of the school team, was nominated for the first team in the United States, was also selected as the Rookie of the Year in the division, and was selected to the first team in the American League. .

Scouting compares him to the arrogant Allen Iverson, enough to illustrate his talent.

...

The New York Knicks maintain their tradition of picking big men, even if their insiders are already bloated.

They picked the Brazilian player Nene Hilario from the seventh pick.

Nene, who had just turned 20 this year, was like most children in Brazil when he was a child. He chose football. At the age of 14, he only started to contact basketball.

In 2001, Nene represented the Brazil team in the World Friendly Games.

In the game with the United States, Nene scored 8 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks in 18 minutes. Among them, 3 hot pots were awarded to Jermaine O'Neill who has stood out in the Pacers.

It was that game that brought Nene into the sight of NBA scouts quickly.

After participating in several training camps, Nene, who performed well, decided to participate in the 2002 draft.

He did not expect ~www.ltnovel.com~ that he would be selected in such a high order.

It's just that the New York Knicks have become the object of ridicule.

There are as many as five players in their team who can play center alone.

Barkley ridiculed: "Although basketball is a big man's sport, New Yorkers are obviously going to extremes."

Taunting is taunting, Buckley still gave some pertinent opinions.

"They should seek some trades, exchange inside players for several immediate scoring ability, then New York may be able to reach the playoffs."
