Chapter 393 Draft Results and the Hardest Road!
The Sonics chose Durant? !
Durant shook hands with David Stern on stage wearing a white Seattle cap.
The rookies in the small green room off the field are all dumbfounded looking at Durant on the stage.
No point guard, no power forward, no center, Seattle chose a small forward? !
It doesn't matter if you choose a small forward, after all, the Sonics lack everything.
Can……
Corey Brewer, who has a combination of McGrady + Carter + Iverson, doesn't want it.
Jeff Green, who has a combination of McGrady + James + Pippen, doesn't want it.
Thaddeus Young, who plays the combination of James + Anthony, doesn't want it.
Al Thornton with the combination of Jordan + Pippen is not.
Want a Rudy Gay + Novak combo?
What is this operation?
Is there something about Durant that only Yes can see?
But did you see that Yes had any special interaction with Durant in the Seattle training camp?
For a moment, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden was eerily quiet.
The New York fans at the scene were going to boo the players selected by the Supersonics.
The Sonics and Yes hurt the New York Knicks a bit last season.
It is a leap and a conquest.
Although many New York fans were convinced, there are still many people who are quite unhappy with Yes.
If you are unhappy, you will not be happy, and you can't win on the court.
The New York Knicks are too disappointed in the face of this big devil, which makes it difficult for them.
Yes, the big devil thing, wait for the rise of the New York Knicks in the future before taking revenge.
Now, you can use Yes' Pippen to live your mouth!
Before the start of the draft, many fans of the New York Knicks gathered, no matter whether Conley, Noah or Yi Jianlian was selected,
Don't want to come out of the stadium happily!
But now, what should I do?
Not Noah, not Yi Jianlian, not Conley, but Durant?
For a moment they didn't know whether to boo or applaud.
If you define Durant as Yes's Pippen, of course you have to boo, but can this guy be Pippen?
But if Durant is defined as Kwame Brown who pitted Yes, it seems that he should be applauded again.
New York Knicks fans are in disarray right now.
Even though David Stern on stage now has a smile on his face, he is constantly thinking about MMP in his heart.
Let's not talk about the following group of rookies with Jordan, Magician, Russell, Chamberlain, and Big Bird titles on their heads. How many of them can really become Jordan Magician.
He also knew that most of the names of these people were hyped up.
But no matter what, these people are better than Durant who is shaking his hand now.
Whether Durant was withdrawn from his contract by Nike before the draft, no matter how bad his performance was, he was able to rank in the top five, not because of his incredible talent.
There is only one reason, and that is the head coach of the Blazers, Nate McMillan.
If it weren't for Portland Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan, he has repeatedly emphasized that the Blazers have only one draft goal this year, and that is Kevin Durant. The Blazers' No. 5 pick this year is ready for Durant Now, Durant's current draft pick projections must have fallen out of the lottery.
Regardless of whether the Blazers are sincere to Durant or not, it can be said that the Blazers are the only reason why Durant can stabilize his prospects.
If there is no Trail Blazers, let alone the second pick, let alone the fifth pick, even if he is in the top five small forwards, Durant will not be ranked.
This year's rookie small forward ranks, except for Brewer, Jeff Green, Thaddeus Young, and Al Thornton.
And Julian White is also ahead of Durant.
Julian White is 20 years old this year. He is a thin body with strong fighting spirit. He has McGrady's physical condition and Iverson's ball control. He also has Garnett's rebounding, Duncan's calm personality, and even his jump shot is improving. More and more like a genius.
Julian White, the fifth-ranked small forward this year, was awarded the title of McGrady + Iverson + Garnett + Duncan + Kobe in the Seattle training camp.
Before the draft, many people felt that he was most likely to be the dark horse at the small forward position this year.
But in the end, the dark horse turned out to be Durant!
And it's the blackest one!
Apart from the fact that the No. 1 pick must be Oden, this year's No. 2 pick is the highest pick that others can hack to the end!
Rudy Gay's size, Novak's speed, jumping, ball handling, shooting and confrontation ability.
This is Durant's evaluation now.
Before the draft, Sonics general manager Presti said that this year's Sonics draft will fully respect Yes's opinion.
This statement has basically told the world that all the Supersonic rookies this year were selected by Yes.
Is Durant the Pippen that Yes chose?
Do you want such a unique taste?
Yes has a unique taste, and everyone has known this before.
But it's surprising how unique it is.
etc? !
David Stern of MMP suddenly seemed to have discovered something in his heart!
Long hands and feet, skinny?
I personally don't think this body shape is like Rudy Gay, but this body shape is like an extended version of Rondo!
Yes got himself another Rondo?
David Stern's head is buzzing now, and the professional smirk on his face has frozen.
Can this year's draft be restarted?
I want to have a good talk with Yes before starting over!
stare~
At this time, David Stern, who was already in a cold sweat, didn't notice the murderous look in the eyes of the person shaking hands with him.
Another person who underestimated me!
My sensitivity was almost fooled by his fake smile!
Before the start of the draft, who Yes and the Sonics will use the second pick has always been the hottest topic.
Who's lucky enough to be Pippen next to Yes?
The one with the highest probability is Conley.
In second place is Noah.
The next ones are Yi Jianlian, Brewer and others.
Even the newly promoted Sun has it, but there is no Durant.
"This will be a choice to change NBA history!"
"Durant delayed Yes's first title by at least four years!"
"Except for the Portland Trail Blazers being robbed by happiness, I think all 28 teams in the league will thank Durant!"
"They finally don't have to face the headache combination of Yes+Conley, Yes+Noah, Yes+Yi!"
"Yes+Durant? It's not disrespectful to Yes, this combination even makes people want to laugh, hahahahaha!"
TNT is now live broadcasting this year's draft.
Under all the attention, Durant was actually chosen by the Supersonics.
The experts and celebrities in the TNT studio are now either laughing or scolding, or smashing the table with their hands like Barkley.
Barkley's big hands were smashed into big pig's trotters visible to the naked eye.
Watching the performances of TNT experts and celebrities on TV, whether it is true or not, James finally showed a long-lost smile in front of the TV.
He has been training like crazy this offseason.
Only the improvement in shooting and skill will bring a smile to his face.
That smile that comes from the heart.
That smile that is getting closer and closer to Yes.
Now, such a smile is very precious.
He used to always have a smile on his face, but now he is so cold.
He also misses the years when he could dance on TV without any worries.
At that time, he still had a thick wig on his head, and he was still wearing a girl's tights. When he introduced himself, he could also call himself Alexander.
Because Alexander is the name of the great emperor.
At that time, he was in high spirits, confident and calm.
But now, the joy of dancing has long since left him.
The pressure on my body was so great that I couldn't breathe.
Yes has been so crazy in the first season that he has been waking up from a dream every day recently.
Chasing Yes, that's his goal.
Impossible goal to change!
As long as this goal is not achieved, what he lost will never be regained.
In the process of chasing Yes, he can improve his personal strength.
He is the chosen one, with unparalleled talent in the world, and his progress is very fast. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can easily surpass those 'mediocre' who were originally stronger than him.
But Yes is different, Yes is also the chosen one!
Will Yes stagnate while he's improving?
Yes certainly does not stand still!
At the beginning of last season, who would have thought that Yes' strength was so strong against him, and that was Yes' biggest weakness during the draft!
The power of Yes is beyond imagination, and the progress of Yes is also beyond imagination.
Even so, though, he believed he would catch up to Yes one day.
Because, even the Chosen One has limits.
But when will we wait?
a year?
two years?
Nobody knows.
In his estimation, before the two of them reached their limits, his strength should belong to the weaker side.
When he was competing with Yes, he was personally at a disadvantage, but his teammates were at an advantage.
He can be temporarily inferior to Yes in strength.
But his team can be stronger than the Sonics!
This pattern is also the source of his confidence in Yes's revenge next season.
However, the No. 2 pick that the Sonics have this year really makes him feel stuck in his throat.
In the nights leading up to the draft lottery, he had nightmares every night.
At that time, the Sonics were the biggest favorites for the No. 1 pick.
At that time, as long as he fell asleep, the combination of Yes+Oden was in his mind.
During that time 'Oye! ’ The combination seems to be the general trend.
During that time, he even suspected that when the Sonics won the No. 1 lottery, he would collapse!
Fortunately, God still loves him.
It was not the Sonics who got the No. 1 pick, but the Grizzlies.
The Supersonics got the second place.
Moreover, the second pick of the Supersonics did not exchange for the combination of Yes+'Smiling Assassin and Stockton'.
There is no combination of Yes+'Garnett and Duncan' in exchange.
There was no combination of Yes+'Larry Bird and Garnett' in exchange.
Yes+ Durant?
A combination of Yes+'Rudy Gay and Novak'!
In James' eyes, the world that was slowly becoming dark became bright again.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the experts who have been firmly supporting him on TV, James also smiled.
These experts are right, Yes is good in everything, but this vision is worse than Jordan.
God's vision is worse than mine!
Jordan, who was sitting in his villa in Chicago, was very upset.
"Yes's talent is at the same level as Jordan's, and Yes's draft vision is also at the same level as Jordan's. The difference between the two is that Jordan will accept his fate, and Yes will not accept his fate!"
"Jordan chose a parallel importer, and he knew he was wrong and gave up the parallel importer. Yes, even if he knew that he chose a parallel importer, he would still choose to persevere. Not only did he not give up, but he also cultivated the parallel importer into the assist king and the shape he expected. Yes is harder than Jordan's head!"
"Hahahaha, that's right. If one day Yes trains Rondo, Millsap, Durant and other players selected by him into All-Stars, I admit that Yes will surpass Jordan in one championship. I'm serious. No kidding, if Yes takes Durant, Rondo, Millsap and these guys to win the championship, it will be the leadership and the difficulty of winning the championship that I have never seen."
Nima's first championship surpasses Jordan, Pi Er, you wait for me!
This is not the first time Pi Er has hacked him!
This guy is getting worse and worse now!
They all learned from Buckley, a fat man. For the sake of attention, they don't even want to lose face!
Kobe was better than me yesterday, yes is better than me today, will James be better than me tomorrow?
Qi returns to Qi, but Pi Er was right about one thing.
Hell-level teams, hell-level teammates, hell-level opponents, hell-level divisions.
Unluckiest player ever.
Just thinking about it a little bit is scary.
Yes's situation is difficult enough, and he finally got the chance to change his fate against the sky.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity to change his life against the sky would be used by him to increase the difficulty of the game.
Using the precious second pick to select Durant, Yes' game difficulty is more than hell.
Jordan is now thinking, if Yes really refuses to admit defeat and brings Rondo, Millsap, and Durant into the All-Stars, and finally wins the championship, what will happen?
Thinking of this, Jordan actually smiled.
He would actually think of such a ridiculous possibility.
However, if this kind of thing really happens.
Although he won't admit the nonsense of "a championship over Jordan", he is also willing to admit that Yes's championship is the most difficult championship in history.
Yes, this is the most difficult path to choose!
Now the experts of TNT are dissing Durant crazily, making complaints about Yes's choice this time.
These TNT experts completely forgot that the draft is still going on.
Every time these experts complain about other people's draft vision, they will take him out and whip the corpse.
Although he was not happy about being whipped to death by these guys in the past, he recognized it.
He does look away sometimes.
But now?
What does Yes have to do with Durant's rubbish operation?
No matter how misleading he is, he will definitely not be able to do something like drafting Durant with the second pick.
Jordan turned his gaze from those bullshit experts to David Stern in the lower left corner.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected power forward Al Horford from the University of Florida with the third pick!"
The Hawks chose Al Horford instead of Yi, a better power forward, because Horford can play a center. Ah is defensive.
For the Eagles' choice, Jordan can understand, but disdain.
What to choose?
This is the lowest option.
The best choice is to choose what is available, so as to increase the upper limit.
A bunch of ordinary players are no match for a superstar.
Anyway, don't choose a player who can become a super giant, choose an All-Star that you lack.
Eagle's thinking is absolutely dead.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the fourth pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves was a power forward from China, Yi!"
Just now, Jordan, who was madly complaining about the Eagles in his heart, looked at the big man with a shy smile on his face on TV, with regret on his face.
It would be great if the Sonics' No. 2 pick went to the Bobcats.
This combination of Larry Bird + Garnett is the best candidate for the second place in his mind!
It is also the only person in his mind who can become a super giant in the future besides Oden.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected point guard Mike Conley from Ohio State University with the fifth pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Chicago Bulls selected a center from the University of Florida, Joakim Noah, with the sixth overall pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Charlotte Bobcats selected forward Brandon Wright from the University of North Carolina with the seventh pick!"
After David Stern read out the Bobcats' choice, Jordan had a happy smile on his face.
It's a pity to miss the combination of Larry Bird and Garnett.
But the Bobcats finally chose the combination of Garnett + Duncan!
Braden Wright is a combination of Garnett and Duncan.
Before the draft, the Golden State Warriors actually wanted to trade Jason Richardson. Is it possible?
Isn't Jason Richardson the slam dunk king, an ordinary guard who averaged 23+6+3 per game at his peak?
Not even an All-Star!
Such a player also wants to change my Garnett and Duncan?
This is a future superstar!
After drafting Brandon Wright, Jordan was satisfied.
With Brandon Wright, Gerald Wallace can stay if he wants to, or leave if he doesn't want to, just to make room for Wright to grow.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Toronto Raptors selected the University of Kansas small forward Julian White with the eighth pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Thaddeus Young from Georgia Tech with the ninth overall pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Indiana Pacers selected Corey Brewer from the University of Florida with the 10th overall pick!"
"The Sacramento Kings selected Georgetown forward Jeff Green with the 11th overall pick!"
"The Oklahoma City Thunder selected forward Al Thornton from the University of Florida with the twelfth pick!"
Al Thorton was selected with the 12th overall pick!
Chris Paul in front of the TV looked rejoiced.
Now that the Thunder is short of small forwards, the top five small forwards in the lottery this year will not lose. If there are no small forwards, the Thunder can only choose Durant.
After the New Orleans Hornets were bought by the Oklahoma consortium headed by Bennett, they stayed in Oklahoma and changed their name from the Hornets to the Thunder.
Compared with New Orleans, Paul certainly prefers Oklahoma, and he spent most of his time in the NBA in Oklahoma.
With Al Thornton, who is a combination of Jordan + Pippen, he and his new team Thunder will be able to flex their muscles in the new season!
Yes is also a really good person, he actually chose Durant away and left Al Thornton.
Paul, who got the combination of Jordan + Pippen, was in a good mood, and his eyes returned to the TV.
"The Los Angeles Clippers selected USC shooting guard Nick Young with the 13th overall pick!"
A combination of Nick Young, Jordan and Yes!
Paul was a little speechless.
This is a combination of Jordan and Yes, and it actually fell to the 13th pick.
It can only be said that the nicknames of the players in front are equally cruel.
Los Angeles, the 13th pick, the template is Jordan...
Why is there such a sense of déjà vu?
The steel symphony of Los Angeles faintly sounded in Chris Paul's ears.
There's only one musician in Los Angeles, and that's...
"The Golden State Warriors' 14th overall selection is Italian forward Marco Belinelli!"
"The Detroit Pistons selected point guard Ronnie Stuckey from Eastern Washington University with the fifteenth pick!"
After choosing Ronnie Stucky, Joe Dumars breathed a sigh of relief and frowned again.
Billups' contract is about to expire, no matter whether Billups leaves or stays, the Pistons need fresh blood.
Even if Billups is willing to stay and sign with the Pistons, Joe Dumars is going to use some of the Pistons to see if he can bring back a superstar.
If it can really take shape, the returned superstar plus Ronnie Stuckey, a combination of Magician and Iverson, will still have a bright future for the team.
only……
Stuckey is really a combination of magician + Iverson?
Joe Dumas was also beating drums in his heart.
This year's draft is too unfriendly to the league's general managers.
They did not have the opportunity to investigate.
And there are a bunch of Jordans and magicians. If you really choose a fake Jordan magician and miss the real Jordan magician, they will be ridiculed for a lifetime like former Raptors general manager Colangelo.
Looking at the bunch of Jordan magicians on TV, Joe Dumars always felt a little dumbfounded.
The Pistons selected Ronnie Stuckey, which means that the draft has entered the middle of the first round.
The people who are still sitting in the small green room are already sweating on their faces.
The lottery has already missed them, if they even miss the first round? !
With the halo of Jordan and Magician on his head, he finally fell out of the first round?
Unbelievable!
Now Sun Yue's palms are already sweating.
My head also started buzzing.
The strong sense of loss made him feel that he was about to suffocate and explode.
Nets...
knight……
Heat...
...
...
"The 20th pick of the Washington Wizards is a point guard from China, Sun!"
Sun?
Sun Yue, who was about to explode, looked around mechanically. It seems that there is no one named Sun who is still sitting here?
"Sun, you, you were selected, you were selected in the first round!"
When Sun Yue still couldn't believe it, the head coach of Aoshen next to him, Kotter, jumped up excitedly after being stunned for a moment.
Seeing Sun Yue crying on TV, the expression on Ye Si's face was calm.
After a month of his testing, the two suspected Peerless Haoguo and Qianliguo finally proved that they could not meet the standards of Peerless Haoguo and Qianliguo.
Relatively speaking, Sun Yue's ability to pick up the pot is better than Nick Young.
only……
Too iron!
Um?
Ye Si was watching TV when the cell phone beside him rang.
Arenas?
"Yes, did you see that, I robbed the person you fancy!"
"The next season's revenge will start with this robbery!"
second-hand goods.
Ye Si hung up the phone before Arenas finished yelling.
This was done in one go, and it was not the first operation. Roy, Conroy and Webster who were watching could only giggle.
"Gilbert, what did Yes say?"
"What else can I say, of course I was scared and hung up the phone!"
Jamison and Butler were speechless.
After leading the team to the Eastern Conference finals in the playoffs, Arenas became "inflated", and no one dared to control the expansion.
In the past, Arenas did his best.
Now we have to pull them to work together.
This bastard is now crazy.
One of the things I do every day is smirk at the USA TODAY paper after the Wizards and Sonics both made the conference finals.
"Agent No. 0 VS Miracle No. 9!"
"The finals staged a future battle?!"
Wizards Finals against the Sonics?
The season is now over!
"Miracle comes from hard work, success comes from hard work, dreams come from hard work, hard work is everything!"
"Let our new magician follow us and work hard to complete the promise of meeting Yes in the finals!"
Work hard Nima!
Agreed Nima!
Who made an appointment with you!
Butler and Jamison looked at each other and sighed.
They already had some sympathy for the so-called 'magician' who was about to jump into the magician's lair.
Now the Wizards, a virus called 'effort' is spreading...
No, it should be forcibly spreading!
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the San Antonio Spurs selected center Thiago Splitter from Brazil with the 26th overall pick!"
Popovich picked him anyway.
Even if it takes three years to wait for him.
Ye Si was very curious about why this Split had such a great charm.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Utah Jazz selected guard Maurice Almond from Rice College with the 27th overall pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets selected point guard Aaron Brooks from the University of Oregon with the 28th overall pick!"
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Phoenix Suns selected a guard from Spain with the 29th overall pick, Rudy Fernandez!"
"In the 2007 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected forward Nick Fazekas from the University of Nevada with the 30th overall pick"
After Nick Fazekas was drafted, there were still five rookies sitting in the green room.
They've all been sitting in it for three hours now, living like years.
They all want to leave now.
Too tortured!
Five people from Little Green House fell out of the first round!
"This is probably a record that is difficult for the NBA to break."
Roy is really speechless now.
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected a center from Spain with the 46th pick in the second round, Marc Gasol!"
...
...
"In the 2007 NBA draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected point guard Ramon Sessions from the University of Nevada with the 52nd pick in the second round!"
Marc Gasol, Ramon Sessions.
Pick them all!
Jace's eyes flickered.
It was just a slight change, none of which escaped Roy's attention.
Roy looked at the combination of Peyton + James Stroberg who was still sitting in the small green room on TV, and then looked at Ye Si, who showed a slight change in expression just now.
Roy's honest face is full of the look that I really want to find out a great secret.
What Peyton James, what Jordan Magician, how many teams will be killed this year? !
Can……
Why?
Why did Ye do this?
Even if you don't operate, the Durant Supersonics can still be selected.
For Marc Gasol and Ramon Sessions?
For these two people, is it necessary to do this step?
It's Durant again, it's Marc Gasol again, it's Ramon Sessions again, what the hell is Ye doing?
"In the 2007 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected a center from Serbia with the 60th pick in the second round, Milovan Rakovic!"
Just as Roy stared at Ye Si with honest eyes, the 2007 draft ended...
