David Stern looked at the young man in front of him who needed to look up to him: "Welcome to the NBA family. We have been waiting for your arrival here for too long!"

He used "you".

Jiang Dalin knew very well what he meant.

It’s also clear that David Stern’s words came from the bottom of his heart.

Showing her white teeth and smiling brightly, the scene was frozen at this moment.

The first time he went down, reporters flocked to him and already bet on him. David Stern was very happy that his preparations in advance were finally put to use.

Huaxia Market, Huaxia Market...

When that guy arrives next year, there will be 4 Chinese players in this league!

NBA will become more influential in China!

The more David Stern thought about it, the happier he became, almost drooling at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Dalin was surrounded by a large group of reporters. The question was not complicated. He just wanted Jiang Dalin to talk about his feelings about becoming the No. 1 pick and his prospects for his rookie season with the Wizards.

It was also at this time that Jiang Dalin belatedly remembered that he was going to become teammates with the great Michael Jordan... I asked how to work friendly with Michael Jordan. It was quite urgent to wait online!

Even though Michael Jordan came back two or three months later, he was already 39 years old. When he came back, he said he was just to enjoy basketball.

This is all fart!

Once he steps on the court and loses, he will definitely start cursing!

Time has taken away his physical fitness, but it has not taken away his damn desire to win. And because of his status in the world, no one dares to refute, which makes his desire to win even more paranoid.

Half of Kwame Brown's "water" in his previous life was ruined by this kind of paranoia...

Unexpectedly, this time, Jiang Dalin just thought about getting a bigger rookie contract, and ended up saving this guy from the fire.

Well, I pushed myself into the sea of ​​fire...

No wonder they say that men should be cruel to themselves. Jiang Dalin felt that this time, he was cruel enough.

Suddenly, Jiang Dalin felt a little more boring. Even becoming the number one scholar was no longer a happy thing.

"Man, what's wrong with you?"

Some reporters keenly felt Jiang Dalin's changes in mood.

Jiang Dalin shook his head: "I remembered sad things!"

The other reporters looked at each other in confusion, wondering why the Chinese champion would suddenly think of sad things on such a happy day.

There was a noise behind him at this time. Jiang Dalin turned around and took a look. The second pick in the first round was announced. The person selected behind him by the Clippers was none other than Kwame Brown.

It's just that this guy's face looked somewhat unhappy.

I still can’t help but regret it!

Jiang Dalin curled his lips, he was not happy anymore...

I'm not happy yet!

As a result, at the scene of the 2001 draft, the first pick and the second pick of the first round, who were supposed to be extremely excited, staged a show of "unhappiness and displeasure".

At the end of the interview, Jiang Dalin also received a call from Earl, general manager of the Wizards: "Man, welcome to join the Wizards. I believe it will be a very pleasant cooperation in the next four years!"

Then he discussed with Jiang Dalin the matters related to signing a contract with the Wizards. After reaching an agreement, he also hung up the phone.

Returning to his seat, Jiang Dalin smiled and hugged Happy: "Thank you, man!" Although he didn't know what he was busy with specifically, Jiang Dalin knew that he was still the top pick in the end, and Happy must have made a lot of achievements.

force.

Happy shook his head: "This is my duty!"

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of Richardson. The latter had not been selected yet, but he noticed that after Jiang Dalin came back, he kept looking towards Jiang Dalin. He waved from a distance and congratulated him on finally being selected.

Became the top pick. Jiang Dalin raised his hand and looked back at the stage.

With the third pick, the Grizzlies took Pau Gasol as before.

After that, it was the Bulls' turn to make a choice, and they chose Eddy Curry, a talented high school student with better offensive ability.

When Eddy Curry heard his name, he was obviously relieved. He might not have been satisfied with this pick originally, but now he is really grateful to the Bulls for choosing him with this pick...

He also didn't forget to cast a comforting look at Tyson Chandler.

Come on, my brother’s heart is with you!

Then he happily put on his team cap and ran onto the stage to shake hands with David Stern.

Then it was the Warriors' turn to select the fifth overall pick in the first round. Richardson involuntarily changed his posture. The fateful moment had arrived. Although the Warriors had already guaranteed that Jiang Dalin would be drafted after another trial.

, he is still the Warriors’ number one target.

But the problem is, there is an infinitely talented Tyson Chandler waiting off the court!

The draft always prefers interior players.

His concerns are not unreasonable.

Sure enough, David Stern informed the Warriors of their choice. Their choice was not Richardson, but Tyson Chandler!

Richardson's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Tyson Chandler, like Eddy Curry just now, exhaled a long breath and could finally feel relieved...

At the same time, a 2-meter-26 man from China looked at Tyson Chandler walking onto the stage with a disdainful expression: "If he can be selected at such a high position, I can do it too! I can beat him casually."

!”

Jiang Dalin frowned and looked at it, a little worried about Richardson. As far as he knew, Richardson didn't try out with too many teams.

The Warriors suddenly changed their mind, and now Richardson's situation is a bit delicate...

Then the Grizzlies selected Shane Battier based on the results of their trial training.

In fact, Richardson also went to the Grizzlies for a tryout, but in the "continuous dunk" competition, Shane Battier had the last laugh with better endurance, which also earned him the recognition of the Grizzlies management.

favor.

Compare endurance by dunking and choose the one with better endurance...

Jiang Dalin really can’t understand the brain circuit of this leadership team of the Grizzlies.

Another team has finished selecting, and the next one is the seventh pick in the first round. What's even worse is that Richardson didn't go to try out for these next teams...

Will it fall out of the top ten?

Two consecutive NCAA championships fell out of the top ten in the first round?

Well that’s not surprising!

But Richardson’s talent is also there!

However, Jiang Dalin soon discovered that his worries were a bit unnecessary. The Grizzlies, with the sixth pick in the first round, did not select Richardson. Upon seeing this, the Nets, with the seventh pick in the first round, immediately traded Richardson.

Chosen!

Although we experienced some twists and turns, fortunately, seventh place in the first round was still a good result.

It’s really good!

The Nets have reached the finals in the new season. With Jason Kidd, who is "basic but not offensive," Richardson's right to take shots can be guaranteed!

Jiang Dalin stood up and waited for Richardson to pass by. He raised his hands and gave a tacit high-five. The two hugged again and Jiang Dalin sent congratulations.

Mother Jiang frowned when she saw it. They were all men after hugging her for a long time! And they were hugging her so vigorously. There must be something wrong with her son...

With the tenth pick, the Boston Celtics selected future "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, but the Celtics selected him for the Suns. Later, the main lineup of the Western Conference's "Quick Tornadoes" had already assembled its first player.

.

The Rockets selected Richard Jefferson with the 13th pick in the first round, but like the Celtics, he was selected for someone else, and he was subsequently traded to the Nets.

Richard and Jefferson, let’s not talk about the defensive end, the firepower of this wing, under Kidd’s organization, can be regarded as the best in the league.

The Trail Blazers took Zach Randolph with the 19th pick in the first round;

The Cavaliers took Haywood with the 20th pick in the first round;

With the 25th pick in the first round, the Kings took future "Elvis Presley" Gerald Wallace;

The Spurs took Tony Parker with the 28th pick in the first round. No one thought at this time that this guy would become the NBA's first foreign finals MVP 6 years later!

In addition, there are Dalembert, Tinsley...

Jiang Dalin suddenly discovered that the quality at the end of the first round of 2001 was very high, and every one of them had a firm foothold in the NBA.

The scouts must give this class a good review.

At this point, the 2001 NBA Draft has come to an end.
