Chapter 010 Unexpectedly frequent 2001 draft conference!
"Sorry, disturb me, the draft is about to begin!" Jeff Austin didn't want to interrupt the interview, but he really needed a quiet time next.
"Then, He Li, come on! Let's go to the side to record a video, hoping to see you on the camera soon!" Yang Yi was very conscious, knowing that the next thing was very important to He Li, and he would not disturb He Li anymore.
Moreover, before leaving, he cheered He Li, hoping that He Li would be able to go to high school.
He Li also hopes that he will be the top scorer in high school, but if this draft is not disturbed by the mysterious power of the East, the top scorer will be Kwame Brown if he chooses a hundred times.
This year is the recognized New Year of the Draft and the recognized New Year of the Inside.
What are the criteria for judging the New Year and the Little Year of the Draft? The criteria are the number of NCAA second-year stars participating in the election!
In the first year of college, the number of second-year stars participating in the draft is more than 20, which is the New Year. At this time, the first round pick will be very valuable.
The number of first- and second-year stars in college barely exceeds the lottery zone is the average draft year, and the only valuable ones are the lottery zone, and the remaining first rounds are all prize draws.
If you are popular in the championship, if you are all high school students or third-grade or fourth-grade stars in the lottery, then it is basically the New Year of the Draft.
Because choosing high school players is very risky, while junior and senior players have basically established their skills and talents, and lack the potential for further training.
If the No. 1 pick can only be selected among high school students and junior high school players, this means that there are only a handful of players who can be used in this draft.
Of course, judging the size of the draft by the top scorer alone is not accurate enough.
The No. 1 pick is the historical star Tim Duncan's 1997 draft was the young year of the draft, while the No. 2 pick is also the historical star, LeBron James' 2003 draft was the young year of the draft.
However, this one applies to this year's draft.
This year's top scorers are basically high school students, and they are basically insiders.
Therefore, this year is recognized as the New Year of the Draft, and it is also the New Year of the Insider.
Basketball is a sport for big men, and the truth that the election is unchanged in the draft.
This year, there are more than ten outstanding insiders.
Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, the top pick, the top high school student Jixiang Sanbao.
Future NBA champion center Paul Gasol, Brandon Haywood, and Memit Oku.
Dessa Gena Diop, the core center of Oak Hill High School, is the number one basketball school in the United States.
Eddie Griffin, who won the best freshman in the United States in his freshman year.
Troy Murphy, who won the NCAA for two consecutive years in his sophomore year and junior year.
McDonald's All-American High School All-Star MVP Zach Randolph.
There are also the Collins brothers, one of whom will openly announce his coming out in the future.
And the meat shield centers such as Michael Bradley, Samuel Dalemport, Robertas Yaftokas.
After the Lakers led by Shaquille O'Neal won two consecutive championships, this year's draft received no less attention than previous year's drafts.
Haven't you seen Michael Jordan come back from the front line after he chose Kwame Brown?
Why did Jordan choose Kwame Brown? It's not because of anything else, but because Kwame Brown's talent is the strongest in the inside line this year.
Kwame Brown scored 109 points in the draft report with a total score of 120 points. Since he is just a rookie, he only scored 8 points in defense, namely combat power, and leadership temperament. He scored 10 points in terms of athletic ability, static talent, speed and potential.
Listen to Jordan's evaluation after reading the Kwame Brown draft report: "Kwame Brown will be the only player in NBA history who can beat him..."
Kwame Brown: "I don't have it, I don't want to, don't choose me, it's over!"
With the gray-haired and amiable NBA president David Stern coming to power, the draft officially began.
Interestingly, before Stern opened the envelope and read out the top pick, Stern was booed by the audience for a while.
He Li, who was sitting in the audience, felt inexplicable when he saw this scene, but he had a vague idea of echoing.
Soon, Stern announced the news that the Washington Wizards selected Kwame Brown in the first pick.
There was no accident in Kwame Brown's No. 1 pick in high school, and he ranked first in the physical training camp. In the subsequent Wizards training camp, he easily beat Tyson Chandler, making the original goal to become the next Olney boxing champion directly change his words to the next Garnett.
Interestingly, Kwame Brown’s draft template is Garnett, but Jordan wants to train Kwame Brown to O’Neal.
After Kwame Brown won the No. 1 pick, Tyson Chandler quickly came to power as the second place.
Then the Atlanta Hawks selected Paul Gasol with the third pick, but there was a burst of violent screams.
"Are the Eagles crazy? Choose a white European center?"
"Eddie Curry actually fell to the fourth pick? How could Paul Gasol be ahead of Eddie Curry and be selected in the third pick?"
"Congratulations to the Hawks for booking the No. 1 pick next year!"
Paul Gasol was originally a member of the Green House. Now, although Paul Gasol was a bit inflated, he was not unacceptable.
The exclamations and discussions of the audience at the scene are nothing more than the arrogance and prejudice that the United States has always been.
Next, the Chicago Bulls selected Eddie Curry with the fourth pick.
The fifth pick in the Golden State Warriors chose Jason Richardson.
Sean Bathir was selected by the Memphis Grizzlies at the sixth pick.
One of the No. 1 favorites, Eddie Griffin, fell to the seventh pick and was won by the New Jersey Nets.
The Cleveland Cavaliers want to use the eighth pick to substitute the battle-hardened Big Z.
The Detroit Pistons picked Rodney White, who had a top-tier forward figure in the ninth pick.
The Boston Celtics picked Joe Johnson at the 10th pick.
And all of these people are members of the Green House.
When he reached the eleventh pick, the Boston Celtics also made the choice.
Unexpectedly, he became an upset person. He did not choose the remaining few in the Green House, but instead chose Cadrek Brown, who is similar to Joe Johnson and is also a swaying man in the forward guard.
No one knows what the Boston Celtics really sells, and it has clearly selected top striker Paul Pierce two years ago.
Could it be that I want to constantly copy the previous successes because I won a prize?
In short, the Boston Celtics' flirty operation caused quite a shock, but the Seattle Supersonics' choice next caused quite a stir.
The Seattle Supersonics selected Yugoslav player Vladimir Radmanovich with the 12th pick.
Vladimir Radmanovich is not a member of the Green House, but his identity and background are very attractive to the United States.
There were two consecutive upsets, and the thirteenth pick returned to normal.
The Houston Rockets chose Richard Jefferson and took away the player who was looking forward to the green house.
The Golden State Warriors also took the 14th pick to help Troy Murphy, the remaining projective white center in the Green House escape from the bitter sea.
After letting O'Neal go, the Orlando Magic hoped to discover new inside superstars, but unfortunately they couldn't even find the right starting inside.
In April this year, the Magic encountered the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. McGrady fought against the three Musketeers, but the result was exactly the same as the three heroes fighting Lu Bu. McGrady could not stand the defeat alone.
The real reason why Magic lost to the Bucks is not that McGrady lacked firepower, but that Magic lacked qualified guards in the penalty area.
Therefore, the Magic have no choice this year, so they can only use the 15th pick in the first round to choose a center that looks OK - Steven Hunter.
After Steven Hunter received an interview, David Stern once again came to the stage with a brand new envelope.
After opening the envelope, Stern smiled slightly: "In the 2001 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected the 16th pick, holy!"
"This young player from China won the New Jersey State Championship this year and is a forward with super talent."
At the same time, the general managers of the teams who were in charge of the draft in their respective combat rooms all sighed: "Don't you worry about the risks at all when you choose an Asian high school player with the 16th pick? Bob Bass is so brave!"
