Chapter 921: The Unlucky Guy Who Wants to Join the Warriors

Among the rookies in this year's NBA draft, there are many acquaintances of Ye Si.

When Ye Si and Curry came to the small green room together, the familiar eyes looked at Ye Si's frequent nods.

A total of 14 players were invited by the league for this year's NBA draft.

Compared with nearly 30 people invited in 2007, this year, the so-called draft year, the league is quite reserved.

The Little Green Room was not flooded with invitations.

Among them, Curry, Klay Thompson, and Spencer Hawes of the Washington Five are three of these fourteen people.

In addition to three of the five members of the University of Washington, the remaining players include Chinese team defender Chen Jianghua, University of Oklahoma's favorite No. 1 pick Griffin, Spanish golden boy Rubio, Mutombo II Thabeet, Enter the monster Jordan Hill, the gorgeous dunker DeRozan, Jennings who went to Europe in high school and other high-quality rookies who are both topical and talented.

"Master, I feel like they look at you very, very strangely!"

"..."

Ye Si withdrew his gaze from these outstanding young people.

The way these people looked at him was indeed a bit strange. Similarly, the way they looked at Curry was not so pure. The envy and jealousy were beyond words.

Not only for Curry, but also for Spencer Hawes, Klay Thompson, Chen Jianghua and any other rookie who has a nod to Ye Si, these people are quite envious and jealous.

At the end of the Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat, Durant and Yes won the Finals V together. Yes, Yes personally delivered the V trophy to Durant, and Durant directly handed Yes and the trophy. After embracing each other, many young people's dream is to have sex with Ye Si.

If it weren't for the NBA's draft system, most of these hot green-room rookies would be eager to join the Seattle SuperSonics directly with a minimum salary.

but……

Not all of them looked at Ye Si with such eyes that they wanted to have sex with Ye Si.

There is one person among them who seems to be extremely special.

Blake Griffin is the biggest favorite to be this year's No. 1 pick.

This year's NBA draft was originally called a small year due to the inclusion of many national players and the unknown nature of the Washington Five. In the end, it was raised to a big year directly because of these reasons.

Although the original draft year was elevated to the level of a big draft year due to these unknown reasons.

However, the rookies in the 2009 class are generally considered to be difficult to produce players with superstar potential such as Ye Si Roy in 2006, Oden Durant and Yi Jianlian in 2007, and Beasley Rose in 2008.

Most of the top picks in the draft, such as Curry, Thompson, etc., are mostly considered to have the potential to become All-Stars or quasi-All-Star players.

in this case,

Griffin, the only player with superstar potential, really stands out from the crowd.

You know, Ye Si and Roy became superstars in 2006, but it does not mean that these two people have superstar potential in this year.

The best way to judge whether a player has superstar potential is to look at the player's physical test data.

The physical test data of the 2009 rookie was really terrible.

A general lack of talent and mediocre potential are the common evaluations of this rookie class.

For example, the only player with a vertical run-up jump of 40 inches or more than 1 meter this year is Jonny Flynn. Last year, among the 2008 rookies, there were six players with a vertical run-up jump of more than 40 inches. Flynn also just reached 40. inch.

It is precisely because of his excellent physical jumping performance that Flynn also received an invitation from the Little Green Room, and his recent draft picks are also constantly rising.

It is precisely because outside players are so talented that their vertical bounce is only 36 inches, which can actually lead to a very high position. As an insider with such a big body, Griffin's bounce is already 36 inches. It's quite outstanding, but in previous years, it would definitely not be that outstanding.

In the strength test of bench pressing 185 pounds, Griffin did 22 times. As a power forward, in this event that should belong to those with muscle sticks, Griffin still ranked second.

As for the agility test, Jordan Hill, another hot insider rookie, did a complete set of movements in 1,223 seconds, while Griffin did it in 1,095 seconds. This result is also a result that only guards in the forefront can achieve.

In addition, there is a three-quarter sprint of 328 seconds. This result is also not that top-notch. It is not as good as Oden. Oden is 327 seconds. Oden is a big center, but this year, this result is not to mention the best. Among the insiders, he is also quite good on the outside.

It can be said that among this year's rookie class, whose players' physical talents are generally mediocre, Griffin's physical test data has reached the forefront in almost every category.

With outside-level sprinting, outside-level agility, and outside-level jumping, coupled with the fact that he can be more powerful than many big centers, perhaps every physical test result of Griffin is not top-notch in history, vertically. It doesn't matter if he's not top-notch, but if he outperforms players of the same level horizontally, he'll be the top pick.

How much advantage does Griffin, a young man with whom he has some minor grievances, have over rookies of the same level?

Even if Griffin is 2.08 meters tall in shoes and has a wingspan of only 2.11 meters, with such short hands, he can be ignored.

Why can Griffin be forgiven for such a huge flaw?

Just look at the draft physical data of Curry, who is also very popular this year, but his draft prediction is getting lower and lower.

He is 1.91 meters tall in shoes, with a wingspan of 1.92 meters, a jump of 72 centimeters on the spot, a jump of 85 centimeters during approach, an agility test of 1107 seconds, and a three-quarter sprint of 3 seconds 28.

Compared with Griffin, he was completely beaten by Griffin.

This comparison is not the strength-type physical test of the inside line, but the physical test data of the outside line type.

No one can compare to Griffin.

Even if Griffin has short hands, his wingspan is still 3 centimeters more than his height, while Curry's wingspan is only 1 centimeter more than his height.

It's not that these draft experts ignore Griffin's shortcomings, but the overall talent of this year's rookies is really...

Stoudemire, who has similar talent statistics to Griffin, was a solid No. 1 pick in the 2002 draft. Stoudemire was selected by the Suns with the ninth overall pick.

It is for this reason that this year's draft is really a huge challenge for the general managers of many teams.

In the past, they only had to choose those with good physical talent, and the bottom line was always guaranteed.

Among this year's rookies, Griffin is the only one with such low-guaranteed talent.

Everyone else needs to gamble.

For example, Curry was ranked in the top four at first, then in the top five, and then in the top six, and now he has fallen to the top ten.

Just because I don’t dare to gamble.

Curry's statistics in the NCAA are beautiful, but with Curry's physical test data, teams that dare to bet need courage.

Redick's statistics in the NCAA are also very good, but now?

Alcoholism, domestic violence, dog abuse, now let alone the NBA, you can’t even play basketball.

And this is why the popularity of international rookies this year is so high.

The rookies in the United States are indeed a little stretched this year.

In such a tight draft environment, Griffin has no need to throw away Leaf's face.

Even if Ye Si sees the shadow of two CBA players in him, it will not affect his draft position.

He hopes that Yes can move his draft stock down.

Griffin doesn't want to go to the Warriors, not at all.

He just wants to stay in Goose City. He is a native of Goose City. His idol is Chris Paul. His dream is to beat Yes with Chris Paul!

Therefore, every time the SuperSonics and Thunder play, Griffin is always the most excited among the fans on the sidelines. Several times when Yes passed through the tunnel, this kid even tried to use his little wit to trick Yes into beating him. he.

When Griffin didn't enter the NBA, he already had the reputation of the number one star Ye Hei on his back.

With Ye Si's current status, even Jordan would not take the initiative to claim that he is Coconut Black.

There are not many stars who take the initiative to call themselves coconut black, and Griffin is the most famous among them.

After all, the number one pick is the favorite.

Entering the NBA, he is also a star player with at least All-Star potential.

As a future NBA star, Griffin is the only one who gets ripped apart by ordinary fans almost every day if he is not fifteen or second.

"Are you worthy enough to tell me that you use basketball to evaluate yes?"

"Come out for a duel, believe it or not, I can use a basketball to make you go beep beep beep!"

The coconut-black leader just criticized Not Fifteen is Second on Twitter.

"Master, don't worry about this kid. Haha, he has been upset recently and just wants to find some place to vent his anger. We can just watch the fun."

After Curry and Ye Si sat down, he said with a smile beside Ye Si.

Watch the fun...

Now the whole country is watching Griffin's excitement.

It's just like the excitement when the United States watched the SuperSonics and Leafs, the Bulls and Rose.

Yeos and Rose were not in a good mood at the beginning. After all, they were going to be robbed by the team they wanted, and their fate was placed in the hands of others. This was quite unpleasant.

Neither Yease nor Rose showed their emotions in the same way that Griffin did.

but……

There is nothing wrong with watching Griffin's excitement this year. As a rookie who is currently declining in the draft, don't you think you are also being watched by others?

Now, many people are waiting for Curry to fall out of the lottery to see what kind of spectacle it will be if this player who lost O loses his lottery position again.

Many people even say that the reason why the New York Knicks and Isiah Thomas have been saying that they will definitely choose Curry is out of covert considerations.

However, Yeosi did know something. The New York Knicks did contact Curry privately.

This is also the reason why Curry only brought him with him in this group of relatives and friends. It’s not like Curry’s parents and other family members are not in New York.

They are all in New York, and they are all in the hotel booked by the New York Knicks and Isiah Thomas, preparing to hold a grand celebration after the New York Knicks select Curry.

Tonight's draft meeting was indeed lively.

David Stern came on the court to loud boos as New York Knicks fans cursed him.

The New York Knicks, with the second-worst record in the league, received the sixth overall pick.

David Stern really doesn't care at all about the boos from New York Knicks fans.

In fact, David Stern really doesn't care at all.

After looking at Ye Si in the audience with a smile and affection, David Stern gave a brief speech and then smiled and took out the first envelope of tonight's draft.

At this time, almost all the people in the little green room looking at Griffin.

This melon is really delicious.

Danny Ainge led the charge against the Sonics three years ago.

Pat Riley led the charge against the Bulls a year ago.

These two people are both history makers, and they indeed created incredible history.

Now, they are likely to witness history!

Even Ye Si subconsciously set his sights on Griffin at this time, and Curry, this kid is so juiced that he can't wait to stand up and dance.

Deserve a beating.

Sometimes his apprentice is so unintentional that people want to beat him. He doesn't mean it, but he still deserves to be beaten.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the first pick, the Golden State Warriors selected forward Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma!"

There are almost no surprises.

Griffin almost gritted his teeth as he stood up.

"Master, this guy Griffin was really selected by the garbage team the Warriors!"

The Golden State Warriors have indeed had poor reputations in recent years and are at the lowest end of the contempt chain. Even Curry, who already considers himself a New York Knicks player, despises the Warriors.

Griffin feels very uncomfortable now. If he lets the Thunder be robbed by the Warriors, he will feel very sad. If the Warriors do not rob the Thunder and he ends up staying with the Warriors, he will also feel very sad.

In short, he was so uncomfortable now that he wanted to beat up this dancing boy when he passed by Curry's table.

Not willing to put on the Warriors hat, David Stern didn't take it seriously either.

This guy has personality.

He likes such a unique boy very much.

Griffin is in a mood, and the draft is still going on.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the second overall pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected guard Tyreke Evans from the University of Memphis."

The Thunder actually chose a point guard?

Do we still need Evans now that we have Paul?

"Master, the unlucky guy who went to the Warriors is actually Evans?!"

Ye Si's eyes flickered.

The Thunder have Paul, but of course they don't need Evans. This is for trade.

So Evans looks very, very ugly now.

Damn it, as a Pennsylvanian, he wants to stay in the East and stay in New York. His draft pick prediction is just to be selected by New York.

Why is it now cut off from the Western Conference by the Thunder?

The person who was originally a melon eater has now become a melon. The look on Evans's face now is even uglier than that of Griffin just now.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the third overall pick, the Charlotte Hornets selected guard Gerald Henderson from Duke University!"

Gerald Henderson?

Henderson, who was sitting in the small green room, was confused. How could he be so close to the front?

"Big dark horse, Master, do you think this was chosen by Jordan or Larry Brown?"

Tonight's melons were served one after another, and Curry was addicted to them.

But soon, Curry, who was still gossiping about who won and lost between Jordan and Larry Brown, and enjoying the melon, his expression instantly stiffened.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the fourth overall pick, the Indiana Pacers selected the guard from the University of Washington, Stephen Curry!"
