Chapter 921 The Unlucky Guy Who Wants to Go to the Warriors

Among the rookies in this year's NBA draft, there are many familiar faces of Yes.

When Yes and Curry came to the green room together, the familiar eyes looked at Yes and nodded frequently.

A total of fourteen players were invited to the green room of the NBA draft this year.

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

The invitations to the green room are not flooded.

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

In addition to the three of the five tigers of the University of Washington, the rest are China's guard Chen Jianghua, Oklahoma University's top pick Griffin, Spanish golden boy Rubio, Mutombo II Thabit, the monster Jordan Hill, the gorgeous dunker DeRozan, Jennings who went to Europe from high school, and other high-quality rookies with both topics and strength and talent.

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

"..."

Yes retracted his gaze from these outstanding young people.

The way these people looked at him was indeed a little 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 nodded to Yes, these people were quite envious and jealous.

After the finals between Seattle Supersonics and Heat ended, after Durant and Yes won the finals MVP together, Yes personally handed the MVP trophy to Durant, and Durant directly hugged Yes and the trophy in his arms, many young people's dream was to have sex with Yes.

If it weren't for the NBA draft system, most of these hot rookies in the green room would have wanted to join Seattle Supersonics directly with a minimum salary.

However...

Not all of them looked at Yes with such a look of wanting to have sex with Yes.

Among them, one person seemed unusually special.

Blake Griffin, the biggest favorite for this year's No. 1 pick.

This year's NBA draft was originally called a weak year because of the participation of many nationalities of players, and the uncertainty of the Washington Five Tigers. In the end, it was directly raised to the level of a strong year because of these reasons.

Although the original weak draft year was raised to the level of a strong draft year because of these unknown reasons.

However, it is generally believed that it is difficult for the rookies of 2009 to have players with superstar potential such as Yes Roy in 2006, Oden Durant and Yi Jianlian in 2007, and Beasley Ross in 2008.

Most of the draft favorites, such as Curry, Thompson, etc., are considered to have the potential to become All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars.

In this case, Griffin, the only player with superstar potential, really stands out.

You know, Yes and Roy became superstars in 2006, which does not mean that these two people have superstar potential in this class.

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 rookies in 2009 is really terrible.

The general evaluation of this rookie class is that they lack talent and have mediocre potential.

For example, in terms of vertical jump, this year only Johnny Flynn has reached 40 inches, which is more than 1 meter. In the 2008 rookie class, there were six players with vertical jumps of more than 40 inches, and Flynn just reached 40 inches.

It is precisely because of his excellent physical test jump that

Flynn also received an invitation to the green room, and his draft pick has been rising recently.

It is also because the hard talent of the outside players is so poor that Griffin's vertical jump is only 36 inches, which can be ranked quite high. As a big inside player, Griffin's jump is already quite outstanding, but in previous years, it would never be so outstanding.

In the 185-pound bench press strength test, Griffin was 22 times. As a power forward, in this project that should belong to those muscular sticks, Griffin is still second.

In the agility test, Jordan Hill, another hot new inside player, completed the whole set of movements in 12.23 seconds, while Griffin did it in 10.95 seconds, which is also the top score that only guards can achieve.

In addition, there is a 3.28 three-quarter sprint, which is also not so top-notch, not as good as Oden, Oden is 3.27 seconds, Oden is a big center, but this year, this score is quite good not only in the inside, but also in the outside.

It can be said that in this year's rookie class where the players' hard talents are generally mediocre, Griffin's physical test data almost reached the top.

Outside-level sprint, outside-level agility, outside-level bounce, plus he can be more powerful than many big centers. Maybe Griffin's physical test results in each of them are not outstanding in history. It doesn't matter if it is not outstanding in the vertical comparison, but it is the top pick if it is compared horizontally to beat the players of the same level.

How much advantage does Griffin, a young man who has some grudges with him, have in the horizontal comparison with rookies of the same level?

Even if Griffin is 2.08 meters tall with shoes on and his wingspan is only 2.11 meters, his arms are so short that they can be ignored.

Why can Griffin's huge flaw be forgiven?

Just look at the draft physical test data of Curry, who is also very popular this year but has a lower and lower ranking prediction.

Height with shoes 1.91 meters, wingspan 1.92 meters, standing jump 72 centimeters, running jump 85 centimeters, agility test 11.07 seconds, three-quarter sprint 3.28 seconds.

Compared with Griffin, he is completely beaten by Griffin.

This is not the physical test of the inside strength, but the physical test data of the outside.

No one can compare with Griffin.

Even if Griffin has short arms, his wingspan is 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 data to Griffin, was selected by the Suns with the ninth pick in the 2002 draft, not to mention that he was a sure winner.

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

In the past, they only needed to pick players with good physical talents, and the bottom line was always guaranteed.

Among this year's rookies, there are only a few rookies with such low-quality talents, such as Griffin.

Others need to gamble.

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

It's because they don't dare to gamble.

Curry's statistics in the NCAA are beautiful, but for Curry's physical test data, the team that dares to gamble needs courage.

Redick's data in the NCAA is also very good, but what about now?

Alcoholism, domestic violence, dog abuse, now let alone NBA, even basketball can't be played.

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

The rookies in the United States are indeed a bit lame this year.

In such a lame draft environment, Griffin can completely ignore Yes's face.

Even if Yes sees the shadows of two CBA players in him, it will not affect his draft position.

He hopes that Yes can pull his draft pick down.

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

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

So every time the Supersonics and Thunder play, Griffin is always the most excited fan on the sidelines. There were a few times when Yes passed through the player channel, and this kid wanted to use his little wit to induce Yes to beat him.

Before Griffin entered the NBA, he was already known as the No. 1 star Ye Hei.

With Yes's current status, even Jordan would not take the initiative to call himself Ye Hei.

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

After all, he is the favorite for the No. 1 pick.

After entering the NBA, he is also the star player with the least All-Star potential.

As a future NBA star, Griffin is the only one who fights with ordinary fans who are not fifteen but second almost every day.

"How dare you tell me to use basketball to evaluate Yes?"

"Come out and challenge me. Believe it or not, I can use basketball to blow you up!"

The leader of the coconut black team had just criticized Not Fifteen Is Second on Twitter.

"Master, you don't have to worry about this kid. Hehe, he's been upset recently and wants to find some places to vent his anger. We'll just watch the fun."

After Curry and Yes sat down, they said with a smile beside Yes.

Watch the fun...

Now the whole United States is watching Griffin's fun.

Just like the whole United States watched the fun between the Supersonics and Yes, and the Bulls and Rose.

Yes and Rose were not in a good mood at the time. After all, the team they liked got them and they were robbed. Their fate was in the hands of others. This was very unpleasant.

Neither Yes nor Rose exposed their emotions like Griffin.

But...

It's right to watch Griffin's fun this year. As a rookie whose ranking is constantly declining, don't you have a little idea that 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 grand scene it will be if this player who lost the MOP loses the lottery position again.

Many people even say that the reason why the New York Knicks and Isaiah Thomas have been saying that they will definitely choose Curry is also for the purpose of deception.

However, Yes knows something. The New York Knicks did contact Curry privately.

This is also the reason why Curry only brought him with his family and friends this time. Curry's parents and other family members are not not in New York.

They are all in New York, and they are all in the hotel booked by the New York Knicks and Isaiah Thomas, preparing for a grand celebration ceremony after the New York Knicks select Curry.

Tonight's draft is really lively.

With a huge booing, David Stern appeared on the stage amid the scolding of the New York Knicks fans.

As the second-to-last record in the league, the New York Knicks got the sixth pick.

David Stern really doesn't care about the boos of the New York Knicks fans.

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

After looking at Yes in the audience with a smile and loving kindness, David Stern smiled and took out the first envelope of tonight's draft after a brief speech.

At this time, almost all the people in the green room who were eating melons looked at Griffin.

Such robbery melons are really delicious.

Three years ago, Danny Ainge led the robbery of the Supersonics.

A year ago, Pat Riley led the robbery of the Bulls.

These two people are the creators of history, and they have indeed created incredible history.

Now, they are likely to witness history!

Even Yes is subconsciously looking at Griffin at this time, and Curry, this kid is eating melon juice now and wants to stand up and dance.

Deserve a beating.

Sometimes his apprentice is really unintentional to make people want to beat him. He is unintentional, but still deserves a beating.

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

There was almost no surprise.

Griffin almost gnashed his teeth when he stood up.

"Master, Griffin was really selected by the Warriors, a rubbish team!"

The Golden State Warriors have indeed had a bad reputation in recent years and are at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even Curry, who has already regarded himself as a New York Knicks player, despises the Warriors.

Griffin is very uncomfortable now. If he lets the Thunder be robbed by the Warriors, he will be very uncomfortable. If the Warriors do not rob the Thunder and he stays in the Warriors in the end, he will also be very uncomfortable.

In short, he is so uncomfortable now that he wants to beat this dancing kid to death when he passes by Curry's table.

David Stern doesn't care about not wanting to wear the Warriors hat.

This kid has personality.

He likes such a kid with personality.

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

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

The Thunder actually chose a point guard?

Do we need Evans when we have Paul?

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

Yes's eyes flickered.

The Thunder has Paul, so of course they don't need Evans, he's for trading.

So Evans' face is very, very ugly now.

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

Why is he intercepted by the Thunder and sent to the West now?

The person who originally ate the melon, now he has become the melon, the look on Evans' face is even uglier than Griffin just now.

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

Gerald Henderson?

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

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

The melons tonight are really one after another, Curry is addicted to eating them.

But soon, Curry, who was still gossiping about who would win and who would lose between Jordan and Larry Brown, suddenly froze.

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