I’m Really Playing Basketball
Chapter 530 2007 NBA Draft
Curry Jr. was selected by the Bucks with the sixth overall pick this year. It can be seen that Curry Jr. is very satisfied.
According to his current draft prospects, his draft pick is around tenth, not much worse than Jordan.
Even though Curry Jr. was the second-best player at Marquette University and averaged 20 points per game in the NCAA, Curry Jr.'s physical fitness is really too weak.
No kidding, Curry is now 19 years old, but he looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old high school student.
Looks so tender!
In fact, historically, when Curry entered the draft at the age of 21, he looked like a high school student.
For Curry like this, even if he has shown very strong technical ability and shooting talent in the NCAA, there are not that many teams willing to bet on Curry.
In the current NBA, because of Chen Xiao's intervention, defense can be used, which means you need to fight when shooting.
If you don't have the ability to fight, it will be useless no matter how good your technique is or how strong your shooting skills are.
In this regard, Jordan is better than Curry.
Although Jordan has average athletic talent, he looks very strong, is a typical black man, and is good at confrontation.
Therefore, Curry is very satisfied that the Bucks are willing to keep their promise and select him with the sixth pick.
After this kid was committed to the Bucks, he considered himself a Buck for a long time.
After all, as a player from Marquette University, most Milwaukee fans are Marquette University fans, so Curry has a strong sense of belonging to the Bucks.
Now, he really hopes to make a contribution to the Bucks and create his own era.
Moreover, the relationship between Bucks players and Marquette University players is really good.
Braxon and Diener, the two locker room leaders of the Bucks, are the seniors of Durant and Curry, and were both brought out by Chen Xiao.
Therefore, when Chen Xiao heard the laughter of many people around him after making this declaration to the "cute and fierce" little Curry, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
Because he knows that after the Bucks acquired Durant and Curry, plus the original team led by Ray Allen, this team will be very, very strong in the future!
No, not the future, it should be said that this team may be very, very strong next season!
Of course, after all, the only systematic person in this world is Chen Xiao.
So at this time, most people are still laughing at Curry, who is so cruel.
Even Xiao Zhan was smiling involuntarily at this time.
To be honest, Xiao Zhan still likes his things to be constantly "re-created". He does not feel that these rookies are disrespecting him.
And he actually wants Curry, the player recommended to him by Chen Xiao.
Therefore, Curry Jr. is the Cavaliers' third overall pick.
If Conley can't be selected, it's Curry.
Compared to Curry, Conley is still a better choice. Conley has excellent athletic ability and excellent confrontation ability, and basically has no weaknesses in technology and personality. More importantly, he is a native of Ohio State University, and he is Oden. Good friends since childhood.
You know, it's not that easy to find a point guard who can pass the ball to big players.
Conley, on the other hand, has been passing the ball to Oden full-time since he was a child.
Acquiring Conley basically means that Oden does not need to run in with the team's point guard, and Oden plays more comfortably.
At this point, Curry is indeed incomparable.
Therefore, even if Xiao Chen recommended Curry to him, there was nothing he could do.
Conley is really a better choice for the Cavaliers with Oden.
After Curry's announcement drew a round of derision, the Golden State Warriors drafted Jeff Green at No. 7.
Jeff Green's draft pick prediction has actually been in the top five, but two point guards in Curry and Conley appeared who exceeded his draft prediction, so he dropped to seventh.
Therefore, the Warriors definitely made a mistake. Jeff Green is a very comprehensive player. He has excellent ball control and singles ability. He can also pass the ball after being double-teamed and has very good defensive ability. , but his shooting ability is still a little lacking, but it can be seen that his shooting touch is very good and shooting can be practiced.
It can be said that this is a very balanced 21-year-old young man who basically cannot find any weaknesses.
Therefore, the Warriors were very excited to acquire Jeff Green with the seventh pick.
Although Jeff Green, who was wearing a Warriors hat on the stage, really wanted to repeat what James said, he gave up decisively when he thought about the way Curry was laughed at by the crowd just now.
Not everyone can be like Curry, who can hold his head high and keep his head high despite the ridicule of so many people, bang! boom! boom! Ouch~!
After the Warriors, the player selected by the Mosaics with the eighth pick was University of North Carolina power forward Brandon White. White has excellent basketball talent, height and long arms, and excellent running and jumping ability. He is considered to be the best player in the NCAA. Talented power forward.
Mosaic currently lacks such a power forward.
Therefore, Mosaic was very satisfied with being able to select White with the eighth pick.
After selecting White, Mosaic seemed to feel that he had seen a bright future for the team.
"White will definitely not fall like Bogut!"
Well, wishes are always good.
With the ninth pick, the player selected by the 76ers was 19-year-old small forward Thaddeus Young of Georgia Tech.
With the tenth pick, the Pacers selected Roy's junior, white big man Spencer Hawes of the University of Washington.
With the 11th pick, the Wizards selected USC guard Nick Young, who Chen Xiao was quite envious of.
Yang is a very retro player. He has an excellent mid-range shot and excellent ball control. He is always accompanied by turns, feints and cross-steps when shooting. In addition, his offense is very creative and has the ability to turn decay into magic. strength.
Judging from this description, we can see that he is Chen Xiao's favorite little Kobe!
Just like Jordan's obsession with Bird.
Chen Xiao is also quite crazy about little Kobe Bryant.
However, the Bobcats don't have any good draft picks this year.
Moreover, the Bobcats did not organize a huge training camp for this draft.
Therefore, in this draft, the Bobcats are actually quite Buddhist.
With the twelfth pick, the Clippers selected Al Thornton from Florida State University.
This is an older rookie born in 1983.
After the Clippers selected El Thornton, all the cameras on the scene were focused on DeAndre Jordan's table.
The look on Xiao Jordan's face was a little nervous, but he also seemed relieved.
Because before the draft, the Clippers were the team that clamored the most and wanted him the most.
Therefore, Jordan is really worried about being selected by the Clippers.
Yes, the Clippers are in big cities.
But as the son of a basketball god, is Jordan the kind of guy who longs for the big city?
Just like Timberwolves power forward David Lee.
If they really cared about big cities and money, they wouldn't train so hard and pursue their basketball dreams.
Therefore, for Jordan, he wants to play for the team he likes, such as the Bucks, with his two brothers, the Bobcats with his teacher Chen Xiao, a garbage team like the Clippers, He really has no interest.
Therefore, after being let go by the Clippers, Jordan was really relieved.
"One step closer to the Bucks' 18th pick!"
Xiao Qiaodan was very looking forward to and excited.
And just when Jordan was excited...
"In the first round of the 2007 NBA draft, with the 13th overall pick, the Utah Jazz selected the point guard from Marquette University, Jeffrey Jordan!"
…
When David Stern called out DeAndre Jordan's name in the most passionate voice, DeAndre Jordan, who had just been thinking about being closer to Curry and Durant, was really confused at this time.
Not to mention Little Jordan, even Jordan next to Little Jordan looked confused at this time.
Barkley, the TNT anchor who broadcast the draft live, even shouted excitedly.
"Oh my God, the Utah Jazz drafted DeAndre Jordan?!"
"The Utah Jazz actually drafted Michael Jordan's son?!"
I have to say that the results of this draft are truly magical, quite magical!
"Kenny, I bet the Jazz are thinking of abusing Jordan for seven years. I swear, they won't let this kid go. This kid's career will be in Utah to atone for his father's sins!"
"poor child!"
"..."
To be honest, Barkley's idea is really not just one person's idea at this time.
Even Kenny Smith next to him almost thinks so.
Because of Jordan and the Jazz, the grievances between these two pairs of enemies are too great.
It's hard for you to imagine that the children of the two families who have been enemies for a lifetime are actually married!
This plot is almost like Romeo and Juliet.
By the way, Romeo and Juliet, this is definitely not a comedy!
Therefore, from the perspective of the Western world's values, the Jazz must have no good intentions in choosing Jordan!
It's just obvious that people who have such thoughts must have underestimated Jerry Sloan's mind.
In this time and space, after losing Deron, Sloan has been looking for a point guard who can play pick-and-roll.
Although the Jazz's current point guard Felton is very good, he has a very strong offensive ability and is also very capable of attacking.
But he can't be the core point guard of the pick-and-roll, his ball quotient is too low, and he can attack too much.
To be honest, although the pick-and-roll is the simplest tactic, it is not so easy to find a good point guard who can execute the simplest tactic.
First of all, you need to have a good offensive ability, be able to rush and shoot, and at the same time, you also need to have a good vision and be willing to pass the ball for your teammates.
Obviously, Jordan is really such a player.
His athletic ability is not very strong, but his ball-handling ability is very good under the training of Chen Xiao. His defensive ability, especially his ability to defend and steal is also very good. Moreover, he is also very confident in his shooting. After all, Jordan's My son is the one who scored the winning goal in the NCAA finals. Secondly, he plays pick-and-roll next to Curry and Durant. His assists and passes are also among the best in the NCAA.
Such a player is just like a little Stockton.
In fact, Jordan's draft template is Stockton.
As Jordan's son, his draft template is Stockton.
This is actually quite magical.
In fact, when Jordan's draft template was defined as Stockton, his fate could not be changed.
"Jeffrey, we don't play basketball anymore!"
"..."
Jordan gritted his teeth and watched his son finish speaking in pain. Little Jordan didn't even know what to say for a while.
At this time, Jordan felt quite painful.
The dawn of his son's career was actually snuffed out by him.
At this time, he was even thinking that it would have been nice if he hadn't played the Jazz so viciously.
How many classics of his career are based on the pain of the Jazz.
Even if Jazz didn't love him, then he must have hated him to the bone.
Now that his son is in their hands, how can it be good?
In short, after the Jazz selected Jordan, Jordan felt that his sky was falling.
And the draft after that seems to have nothing to do with him.
And when Jordan came on stage wearing a jazz hat, the audience both on the scene and in front of the TV were sympathetic.
Perhaps at this time, only Jerry Sloan in front of the TV had a satisfied smile on his face.
The Jazz selected DeAndre Jordan with the 13th overall pick.
This is definitely the second big climax tonight.
Second only to Oden being drafted by the Cavaliers.
After Jordan was selected by the Jazz, everything in the subsequent draft seemed boring.
However, no matter whether the subsequent draft is boring or not.
But the draft is definitely going on.
With the fourteenth pick, the Pistons selected Stuckey, a point guard from Eastern Washington University.
At this time, Billups, who was watching Jordan and the Jazz lively in front of the TV, didn't know how the Pistons' rookie would change his destiny.
With the fifteenth pick, the Seattle SuperSonics selected the last rookie in the little green room, Corey Brewer of the University of Florida.
In this draft, Corey Brewer has definitely fallen off a cliff compared to history.
However, Brewer is still very satisfied with being selected with the 15th overall pick.
After all the players from the Little Green Room were selected, the originally boring draft became even more boring.
The next draft picks are basically small roles, even if this is a big draft year.
But for Chen Xiao, he still cares about the draft picks of several teams he cares about.
For example, the Bucks lost Jordan with the 18th pick, but they selected Italian shooting guard Belinelli with the 18th pick. This Italian player is familiar to Chen Xiao. He often meets in international competitions and has shooting ability. He is very strong. It can be seen that the Bucks have done their work. His style is very consistent with the Bucks' five-small style of play.
Also, the Bobcats' opponent in the finals, the Los Angeles Lakers, selected center Marc Gasol with the 23rd pick, who is the younger brother of Lakers center Gasol.
It is extremely rare for brothers to play for the same team at the same time.
As an international player, he was selected in the first round. This means that Gasol can play for the Lakers next season without waiting.
Next season, maybe the whole world can see the Spanish brothers in the Lakers.
Like the Bobcats this time, the Lakers also played in the finals, so they didn't have much time to draft.
Therefore, their draft focus is on a very close position, and Gasol is the younger brother of Gasol. This is definitely the closest position the Lakers are looking at.
In fact, the Bobcats are also targeting a big center.
Although Bynum's performance in this playoff trip is good, this is a time bomb. The Bobcats need a big center substitute.
As for the Lakers, although Gasol performed very well in this finals, compared to the center, Gasol's strongest position is the power forward position.
So the needs of the Lakers and Bobcats collided quickly.
After the Lakers, what Chen Xiao cares about most is Luo Ge's Spurs. The Spurs, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, selected Aaron Brooks, a small guard, with the 26th pick.
As for several of the Bobcats' Eastern Conference rivals, the Magic selected UCLA guard Afflalo with the 27th pick, the Nets selected small inside man Landry with the 29th pick, and the Heat selected UCLA guard Afflalo with the 30th pick. He selected the point guard the Heat lacked most...
Sun Yue.
Yes, the Heat selected Sun Yue.
I don’t know whether it’s Dayao’s kindness or the success of Chen Xiao and others, which has made the draft prospects of Chinese players soaring.
However, if you put aside the prejudice, Sun Yue's physical talent is definitely top-notch among yellow defenders.
He has good physical talent, can handle the ball, can defend, and is Chinese. Such a player is indeed worthy of a late first-round draft pick.
Especially when there are no good point guards anymore.
As for the Bobcats, the Bobcats selected Ukrainian power center Feishenko with the 28th pick.
Feishenko is 20 years old, 2.16 meters tall, white, can shoot and block shots, and is a fairly typical white center.
He did not come to the Bobcats for a tryout, but Bobcats scouts went to Europe to scout him.
I think he is good and a qualified substitute.
Chen Xiao and Jordan did not go. Originally, Chen Xiao wanted to go, but Jordan said it was not necessary.
The Bobcats are a championship team. A championship team does not need to work hard to have Jordan and Chen Xiao at the same time or one of them for a backup center.
This gives him too much face.
At least his performance in Europe was good, but he didn't have such a big reputation.
The Bobcats used one of their two draft picks this year, and the other, the 58th overall pick in the second round, was sold to the Spurs, who used him to select Prentakis.
At this point, the 2007 NBA draft is all over.
ps: Since last month, because my wife has returned to work after taking maternity leave, I have been working hard to write a book. My wife is a doctor and there is basically no vacation after work. The baby is now more than eight months old and can crawl everywhere. You have to keep an eye on it all the time. Basically, the only time you have to write a book every day is after your wife comes back from work in the evening. It’s so miserable for dad to write a book. Now I’m trying to find a new writing time and rhythm. Look Let’s see if it can be debugged next month.
Finally, I'm really sorry and thank you all for your support.
