Chapter 370 The 2008 draft!

On the second day after Xu Lang used the player strength promotion card, Yi Jianlian played an extremely terrifying performance in the training match of the national team.

The talent of Yi Jianlian itself lies in the quality of his side, which is far superior to that of Asian players and can be compared with most NBA inside players, and his ability to punch the frame is also considered good in the NBA!

Now after being promoted, Yi Jianlian's two advantages have been further strengthened, making him at the upper-middle level even among the All-Star NBA insiders!
And a frame-rushing player who has reached the first-class All-Star level, in the national team, a group where most players are just ordinary NBA role players, will naturally explode into an extremely shocking game performance!

Then, in less than 30 minutes of the entire training match, Yi Jianlian completed seven dunks.

Even one of them was an offensive dunk after grabbing an offensive rebound over Yao Ming's head.

Looking at the extremely excited Yi Jianlian jumping around on the field, Yunus thought with surprise on his face!
"I'm determined to be the Olympic champion this year. Even Jesus can't change what I said."

………………

The picture goes back to more than half a month ago, on June 2008, 6, in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, USA, the 27 NBA draft will be broadcast live to 2008 countries and regions around the world through ESPN TV in the United States.

Although the players who may participate in this year's NBA draft are not the best players in the past three years, the draw of this year's NBA draft is definitely the weirdest year in the past three years.

There is no doubt that the team with the greatest chance of winning the No. [-] lottery is definitely the Bucks with the lowest record in the Eastern Conference and the league in the regular season this year, followed by the New York Knicks with the second-to-last record. The last-to-last Grizzlies in the West.

Therefore, logically speaking, this year's No. [-] lottery should most likely be on the Eastern side!

As a result, this year's No. [-] pick was finally won by the Grizzlies, which had the third probability of being the No. [-] pick.

And the weird thing is not over yet. The Bucks, which had the highest probability of drawing the No. [-] lottery, ended up only getting the No. [-] forward, and the New Yorkers only got the No. [-] lottery!
That's it, and it's not over yet. The Miami Heat, which was originally ranked fourth in the lottery, failed to get the second pick, but instead got the fifth pick.

And the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were originally the fifth to draw lots, unexpectedly won the second place in this year's lottery.

Then, it was weird that the bottom one and bottom two in the Western Conference, which were originally thought to be difficult to get a particularly high draft pick this year, actually occupied this year's No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick respectively.

The East, which has a much worse record, only got one No. [-] show, and the West, which has been crushing the East this year, won the No. [-] and No. [-] picks!

This has to make people guess whether there are some unknown behind-the-scenes changes in this year's draft lottery!

I don't know what other teams think of the lottery result. Anyway, the management of the bottom three teams in the Eastern Conference look ugly.

Especially Pat Riley, in order to get a high draft pick this year, accumulate the background and thickness of building his imagined galaxy battleship in the next two years.

Pat Riley, however, will abruptly begin to recover from injuries in the second half of this season, and Dwyane Wade, who is able to play, is on the injury list.

As a result, not only has the record not been able to get to the bottom of the East, but the current draw is also so unsatisfactory.

But no matter how you say it, the lottery has been drawn, the draft pick has been announced, and nothing can be changed, so Pat Riley can only accept this result helplessly!

Of course, if some teams can pay a huge price, it is not impossible to trade to get a high draft pick.

It’s just that compared to the 06 and 07 NBA drafts that had Xu Lang in the previous two years, and Curry, Russell Westbrook, Oden and other super rookies that made NBA teams drool, this year’s draft The overall quality level of the draft has dropped a lot.

Even Kevin Love, who played such terrifying statistics in the NCAA finals this year, and Derek Rose, who has always dominated the No. [-] pick in Kevin Love.

After this period of investigation, it is also considered by many teams to be "just" a guaranteed All-Star player, but it is impossible for the upper limit to reach the level of the cornerstone of a team like Xu Lang and others.

And most importantly, among this year's players, even rookies at the level of Kevin Love and Derrick Rose are out of gear!

It can be said that the rookies below Kevin Love and Derrick Rose are not second-tier All-Star rookies, but just some whose upper limit can reach the All-Star level. In the past, they could only be regarded as ordinary lottery picks. Rookie of the level!
Therefore, this also means that this year's draft picks, except for the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick, the other draft picks are actually similar.

As a result, compared with the chaotic drafts of the past two years, this year's drafts are obviously much more flat, and there are not so many transactions!
"In the 2008 NBA Draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Kevin Love from the University of Washington."

"Let's congratulate the Grizzlies and Kevin Love."

There is no surprise. In the case of no special pursuit of goals, insiders of the same level are given priority over outsiders. Therefore, the Grizzlies finally chose Kevin Love with the No. 08 pick in the [-] draft.

Although the choice of the Grizzlies still makes many people feel a little different, after all, Derrick Rose was the head star of the University of Memphis last year, and his strength and potential are not weaker than Kevin Love's players.

With the addition of the University of Memphis, everyone thought that the Grizzlies, which accidentally won the No. [-] pick this year, would most likely choose Derrick Rose.

To be honest, the Grizzlies were indeed interested in Derrick Rose, and had tried Derrick Rose many times, and were very satisfied with Derrick Rose's trial results and playing style.

But, after seeing the four teams in this year's East and West finals, each team has at least two of the league's top inside players.

Most NBA teams immediately extinguished the idea that the future NBA will belong to perimeter players due to the changes in NBA rules in the past two years.

So although Derrick Rose's trial results were very good, his performance was also very good.

But compared to Kevin Love, a high-quality offensive insider with superb rebounding ability, All-Star offensive ability, and above the passing line in defense, Derrick Rose suddenly doesn't look so good.

Therefore, in the end, the Memphis Grizzlies could only shed tears and bid farewell to Derrick Rose, the head star of the University of Memphis.

Then, the one who made tears flow from the corner of his mouth chose Kevin Love!
At the same time, after Kevin Love won the No. 08 pick in [-], the University of Washington was expected by everyone, but it also surprised everyone. It dominated the NBA Draft for three consecutive years. .

This is not known to those who come later, but at least so far, it is the first time in NBA history that the same college-born player has occupied the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft for three consecutive years.

And after Kevin Love was selected by the Grizzlies with the No. Made my own choice!
"The second pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Derek Rose from the University of Memphis. Let us congratulate the Timberwolves and Derek Rose."

Before Kevin Love broke out, he was an outside player who had been sitting at the No. 08 pick in the [-] draft list. Derrick Rose and Kevin Love were among all the players selected this year. Best perimeter player and best interior player.

Coupled with the fact that the Timberwolves themselves have two high-quality insiders, they really lack a high-quality outside player to match, so everything is ready and everything is the best arrangement.

Except that Derrick Rose didn't choose himself because of the Memphis Grizzlies' empathy, and he still couldn't compete with Kevin Love in the end. He could only be ranked second in the 2008 draft, which made him feel A wave of anger beyond.

The others, whether it is the Grizzlies or the Timberwolves, are very satisfied with their final choice!

And after Kevin Love and Derek Rose were selected with the first and second picks in the first round respectively, there wasn't much to watch in this year's draft.

Although there are still some outstanding rookie players like Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, etc., it is obvious that these players and their guarantees are the All-Star level players Kevin Love and Derek. Compared with Rose, it is more than one level behind.

However, just when everyone thought there would be no surprises and the Knicks would most likely choose OJ Mayo or Michael Beasley with the third overall pick, the New York Knicks suddenly had the third overall pick in the first round. The first one chose Brook Lopez from Stanford University, a famous academic school in the United States and a basketball underdog.

It can only be said that Yao Ming led the team to win the championship this year, which still stimulated the rookie selection tendency of many NBA teams, which also blessed the inside players who participated in this year's election.

It's just that, after the Knicks didn't follow common sense and chose Brook Lopez, they directly disrupted the choices of many subsequent NBA teams.

For example, when the Knicks were originally ranked fourth overall, they were waiting for the Knicks to choose one of OJ Mayo and Michael Beasley. They chose the other Milwaukee Bucks. Now there is a happy trouble. .

In the end, after many considerations and comparisons, the Milwaukee Bucks still chose guard OJ Mayo from the University of Southern California and second only to Derrick Rose in this year's draft!

The choice of the Bucks has also been carefully considered.

After all, the Bucks now have Horford, a power forward with great potential, and Bogut, a blue-collar center who is not sorry for his status as the No. Players to strengthen the thickness of the inside.

In addition, the team's original head star Michael Reid began to have the attribute of a glass man, and the game state began to gradually decline due to injuries.

The Bucks really need to prepare in advance and find an outside player to fill Reed's vacancy at any time.

And after the Bucks chose OJ. Mayo, he had a black face all the time, but watching Pat Riley in this year's NBA draft, his face turned cloudy in an instant.

"With the fifth pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft, the Miami Heat selected Michael Beasley from Kansas State University. Let us congratulate the Heat and Michael Beasley."

Originally, Pat Riley thought that his team was manipulated by the league and only got the fifth overall pick in the first round, and after unsuccessfully seeking to trade up the pick, it was already wrong to be able to select Michael this year. ... Beasley had hoped too much.

Who knew that the Knicks would go so far as to choose Brook Lopez, who was just an ordinary lottery pick on most rookie lists!

This directly made Michael Beasley miraculously return to the hands of the Miami Heat.

This made Pat Riley also have to sigh with emotion, sometimes it is fate that is impermanent!
As the destination of future basketball was proposed a long time ago, it will be the coach of five 2m05 striker theory.

Pat Riley has been trying to form the lineup he imagined before, but it turns out that not every 2m05 striker can be as versatile as Pat Riley imagined.

In addition, in the era when centers were popular, strikers have always been in the position of assistants in the team's tactical system!

This man Pat Riley has further increased the difficulty of finding the right five strikers!
So, after a while, Pat Riley turned it off. He wanted to form a striker lineup to stir up trouble in the NBA, but he turned to planning O'Neal!
Until the last few years, with the rise of LeBron James, Pat Riley has moved this idea again.

Coupled with Michael Beasley seen among the rookies this year, Pat Riley suddenly felt that the lineup he originally expected seemed to have a great chance to be realized.

After the Heat selected the Michael Beasley they wanted as they wished, the next draft pick really didn't fluctuate much.

The only change is that, compared to previous years, heavy inside players of the same level have received better picks this year.

Some of them were selected by Xu Lang in the first round for the Eagles, and because of this reason, they were constantly selected by teams with higher picks.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer candidates circled by Xu Lang in his hand, Mike Woodson also became a little impatient!
Fortunately, when the 28th pick in the first round was reached, Mike Woodson still had the last candidate selected by Xu Lang.

In the end, Mike Woodson used the 08th overall pick in the first round of the 28 draft from the Celtics to select Deander, who was invited to the Green Room this year but has not yet been selected by the team. Lie Jordan!

However, after the Eagles selected DeAndre Jordan with the 28th pick in the first round, the Eagles' own 30th pick in the first round can only rely on Mike Woodson's own vision Come to choose.

Finally, after short thinking and hesitation, Mike Woodson chose Mario Chalmers, who almost fell into the second round.

Speaking of which, Mario Chalmers, the captain of the biggest loser team in the NCAA this year, is also unlucky enough.

On the one hand, as the basketball captain of the University of Kansas in the finals, after leading the University of Kansas to work hard for a whole year, it became the background version of Kevin Love's rise.

And because the Rockets and Yao Ming won the championship, the draft picks of inside players in this year's draft have been greatly improved, and Mario Chalmers' draft picks will continue to rise!
Coupled with the 22-year-old Mario Chalmers, some of the team-oriented style of play is not very pleasing among the rookies.

This allows it to come step by step, and is about to fall into the embarrassing situation of the second round!
Fortunately, Mike Woodson saved him in the end, and with the last pick in the first round, he chose the team captain of this NCAA final team.

However, Mike Woodson looked at the four point guard players in the team and felt a little headache. How to arrange the playing time of these players next season!

After all, because of Xu Lang, the time for the two backup point guards in the Eagles team was not enough.

Now there is one more Mario Chalmers, which means that some players will be sent down first!

Fortunately, this is always a happy trouble.

And after this year's first-round draft picks are all selected, the second-round draft is even less interesting. In the end, the 2008 draft has officially ended in a mediocre state.

The next thing is the signing of rookie players by each team, and the opening of the NBA summer player market!

At the same time, when the major NBA teams completed the signing of this year's rookie players and started the intriguing transaction, the 2008 BJ Olympic Men's Basketball Qualifying Tournament also officially started.

According to the selection rules for this year's Olympic men's basketball teams, first of all, countries will determine the first batch of men's basketball teams for the BJ Olympic Games through the rankings of the 2007 men's basketball championships on all continents.

As for the remaining three participating places, the final ownership will be determined through an Olympic qualifying competition between July 2008th and July 7th, 7, one month before the start of this year's Olympic Games.
