I’m Really Playing Basketball

The Bobcats' selection of Bynum with the ninth pick brought another climax to the entire draft scene.

Fans who follow the NBA draft on the Internet are also frantically discussing the high school student.

Especially in China, you must know that Chinese fans have always regarded the Bobcats' No. 9 pick this year as Chen Xiao's important asset and bargaining chip for the Bobcats this time.

But in the end, the Bobcats' choice made Mr. Zhang, who was broadcasting the draft live, not know how to evaluate it for a while.

To be fair, because of Chen Xiao, Chinese audiences are no strangers to the American NCAA.

There are even live broadcasts of the NCAA in China now.

But for Chinese fans, high school students are still too far away from them.

Therefore, for Bynum, Mr. Zhang can only introduce his public information.

"Bynum is the youngest rookie in the NBA. He is only 17 years old this year. His draft model is Bulls backup center Eddy Curry. At only 17 years old, he already weighs more than 230 pounds. He is a very heavy player. He is a center, but although he is very heavy, his athletic ability is very good, his skills are also good, and he has great dominance in the high school league, but his golf IQ and character are a big problem."

After introducing Bynum's information, the Chinese audience and fans became even more confused.

How long does it take for a 17-year-old player to become effective?

To be reasonable, for Chinese fans who want to see Chen Xiao succeed quickly, this is not the choice they expected.

But anyway, the Bobcats selected Bynum with their highest No. 9 pick in this year's draft, and everything was settled.

So in front of the TV, Bynum was stunned and excitedly smashed any objects around him to vent his excitement.

In front of the TV, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was extremely uncomfortable.

Last year, Chris Paul, whom he valued, was robbed by Jordan.

This year, Bynum, whom he valued, was robbed by Jordan again.

"Michael Jordan!"

To be honest, Danny Ainge and Jordan have a good relationship, but now, when this name is mentioned, Ainge is really gritting his teeth.

Why do you always pick up the wool of yourself?

To be honest, in history, Danny Ainge was also quite unlucky. In 2005, he fell in love with Chris Paul, but was snatched away. In 2007, he fell in love with Durant, but was also snatched away.

Anji had been thinking about losing these two for who knows how long.

I have to say that Danny Ainge has a good eye for seeing people.

Of course, Pierce definitely doesn't think so. You have such a good vision, why do you think I'm not worthy of being the boss of the Celtics?

In short, when the whole country feels that Jordan's choice is problematic, Danny Ainge is definitely the person who feels the most uncomfortable besides Bogut.

The uproar caused by the Cavaliers' selection of Bynum with the ninth pick continues, and at the same time, the NBA draft continues.

"In the 2005 NBA draft, with the tenth pick in the first round, the Boston Celtics selected forward Gerald Green from Houston Bay College!"

After losing Bynum, Danny Ainge selected the nation's No. 1 high school prospect, Gerald Green.

Why not choose Bogut?

The main reason is that he also watched the video of Bogut and Chen Xiao's duel. Bogut's offensive and defensive skills that he was proud of in college really seemed fragile under the attack and defense of the Wonder Boy.

He knew that Boy Wonder was very strong.

But in the NBA, Wonder Boy is not that strong. You can't even score a goal even if you move. So the only problem is that it is definitely not that Wonder Boy is too strong, but that Bogut is a little weak.

To be honest, everyone would hesitate for such an international center whose physical talent is only good because of his skills.

Danny Ainge feels that it is safer to be the No. 1 high school student in the United States.

To be honest, it was a surprise to select Gerald Green, the No. 1 high school student in the country, with the 10th overall pick.

With Gerald Green, the nation's recognized No. 1 high school student, being drafted away, there are now only five players left in the entire Little Green Room.

For a time, the five players here were under a lot of pressure.

Chen Xiao could clearly feel that Xiaozhu's hands were sweating nervously now.

At this time, the Wizards had already selected someone with the 11th overall pick.

The Wizards selected Sean May with the 11th pick.

After Sean May was drafted, there were only four players left in the Green Room.

Bogut, Granger, Piggy, and Monta Alice, the number one high school student on par with Oden.

Why is Gerald Green the No. 1 high school student and Monta Alice still the No. 1 high school student?

Of course it is the effect of media organizations.

Although Gerald Green is highly recognized, he is not recognized by all media like James. Some people still think Gerald Green is not number one.

In fact, the number one high school student given by many American media this year is very different.

Gerald Green isn't even the most recognized.

Based on the rankings of national media, the number one player is Josh McRoberts who went to Duke University.

Next in line was Monta Alice.

The third pick is Webster, who went to Seattle with the sixth pick.

The fourth is Tyler Hansbrough.

The fifth one is Lou Williams.

And what is Gerald Green's overall ranking?

Ranked sixteenth!

One spot lower than another Green, Danny Green.

You must be thinking what the hell this is.

Obviously so many media say that he is the number one high school student.

The problem arises here.

Many media think he is number one, but many media also think he is number twenty.

Everyone's evaluation of him is too biased.

Taken together, it is relatively poor.

Therefore, after McRoberts chose to go to Duke, among the high school students participating in the draft this time, the best overall ranking was Monta Alice.

So, he got the qualification of Little Green House.

But now...

Monta Alice panicked.

"In the 2005 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Fran Vazquez, a big man from Spain!"

It was a little puzzling that the Bulls chose an inside man, or a Spanish inside man, but for Chen Xiao, who knew the inside story, he knew that this choice was normal.

Now the Cavaliers really don't lack people, and there is no shortage of people in every position. The most important thing now is to renew Chandler's contract and save money at the same time.

Fran Vazquez is good, but at the same time he has a contract with a European team and will not join the NBA immediately. It is the best choice to wait until the Cavaliers are short of players and have money to invite him to join.

Of course, people who don't know the inside story will think that the Bulls must be confused in this selection.

After the Bulls selected a Spanish native, the atmosphere in the entire Green Room became tense again.

Bogut, Granger, Monta Alice and Zhu Fangyu are now clenching their fists tightly.

Because, it will be the thirteenth pick soon.

"In the 2005 NBA draft, with the 13th pick in the first round, Houston Mosaic selected Australian center Andrew Bogut from the University of Utah!"

When David Stern called out Bogut's name, Bogut, who was now nervous and about to cry, was stunned for a moment, then raised his fists high in excitement.

To be fair, if it was a week ago, Bogut would have disdained this pick, but now, even if it is the 13th pick, he is as excited as if he has won the No. 1 pick.

Seeing Bogut like this, many Australian fans in front of the TV were gnashing their teeth.

I thought this was Australia's first NBA No. 1 pick, Australia's first NBA superstar, but now, it's only the 13th pick.

Pick 13...

To be honest, this pick is quite ironic.

Because Bogut said the Kobe he disdained was the 13th pick.

When it comes to this draft, Bogut has criticized many seniors. The most ruthless one is definitely not Chen Xiao or Garnett, but Kobe.

why?

Because Boss Ke looks so bully now.

I won’t talk about Chen Xiao’s historical status in the American basketball world.

Garnett is also the MVP.

And Kobe...

Bogut felt that Kobe had no personal honors after coming to the NBA for so many years, so what qualifications did he have to compare with him?

Kobe lived on the dog.

Historically, Kobe didn't say anything after being scolded by Bogut. It would be a shame to argue with an arrogant young man. Therefore, Kobe suppressed his energy and dunked on Bogut in an NBA game. Bogut didn't even get a chance to jump.

Do you really think you are O'Neill?

Boss Ke is also something you can scold?

Of course, Bogut, who was excited at this time, didn't know what kind of hellish difficulty would be waiting for him after he entered the NBA.

Moreover, he has to face more than just the ravages of these people he looks down upon.

Watching Bogut excited on TV.

As the new head coach of Mosaic, former Knicks and Pacers head coach Van Gundy Jr. and his assistant Thibodeau are discussing something.

"Jeff, I think he is still too light. In that video he couldn't even hold up Wonder Boy. He doesn't have Yao Ming's height advantage. It seems he can only gain weight."

After Thibodeau finished speaking, Van Gundy nodded slightly.

In the NBA, as a center, you either have height or weight, but if you don't have both, you can only be like Chen Xiao and hone your skills to the extreme.

Bogut's offensive and defensive skills are simply eye-catching.

In this case, height is natural.

The only thing he can make up for now is his weight.

As for whether gaining weight will cause problems...

You ask Thibodeau and Van Gundy Jr. about this?

Is there something wrong with you?

Which is more important, health or strength?

Of course it’s strength!

Strength is for the coach, but health is not for the coach!

Of course, Bogut didn't know this at this time.

After the Mosaic selection, the 76ers selected Rashad McCants, another of North Carolina's fourth picks, with the 14th pick.

So far, all four North Carolina juniors have been selected in the lottery.

I have to say that this year's NCAA is really the year of North Carolina.

All four North Carolina juniors were drafted away, which made Jordan very regretful.

You know, Rashad McCants is the player he is planning to select with the 18th pick.

I didn’t expect that the North Carolina Four Young Masters were doing so well.

After the 76ers completed the selection, the three Green Room players who have not yet been selected, Piggy, Granger, and Monta Alice, have been confused.

Because they have already determined that they will not be able to enter the lottery.

For them, their future is really unknown.

And Xiaozhu, who was so arrogant just now, has now been hit.

"It turns out that I am really not the protagonist of the world..."

Congratulations, little pig, you have finally matured.

When a person realizes that he is not the protagonist of this world, he has truly matured.

After the 76ers completed their selection, the Los Angeles Lakers selected Nate Robinson with the 15th overall pick.

The Lakers' first choice was actually Bynum, but Bynum was unexpectedly selected by Jordan, and Nate Robinson was the Lakers' second choice.

After the Lakers traded away Kidd, they still lacked someone at the point guard position. Although they have white chocolate,...

White chocolate is a bit inconsistent with Ke Laoda's style.

After the Lakers completed their own draft.

The entire audience watching the NBA draft is waiting for Jordan's performance at this time!

why is it like this?

Because next, the Bobcats will have five first-round picks!

"In the 2005 NBA draft, with the sixteenth pick in the first round, the Charlotte Bobcats selected forward Danny Granger from the University of New Mexico!"

Granger, who was already desperate for his draft, was already stupid at this time.

He actually went to the Bobcats!

The Bobcats didn't choose Lewis with this pick? !

Granger was really stupid.

You know, during the training camp, he really didn't feel Jordan's special love.

There is no way around this. Jordan really loves little Larry Bird. However, since Chen Xiao was intercepted by the Nets, Jordan has been very careful in this regard.

He's not a fool.

Now the NBA says that he has a pair of miraculous eyes, the god of drafts. Of course, he cannot reveal the players he is optimistic about!

Otherwise, what should I do if someone cuts me off again?

As a player from Little Green Room, Granger fell to 16th place and was selected by Jordan. This is considered a missed opportunity.

However, draft experts did not feel that Jordan was missing out because this was Larry Bird Jr.

Things are going very badly for Larry Bird Jr. right now.

"Michael still seems to have a soft spot for Larry Bird."

Because after Michael Jordan selected Larry Bird Granger Jr. with the 16th pick, he then selected Larry Bird Blatche with the 18th pick.

Andre Blatche was stunned when he saw that he was selected by Jordan with the 18th overall pick.

Originally, he thought that his draft this time would probably be at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second round.

Immediately afterwards, with the 21st pick, the Bobcats selected "Bai Chenxiao" Francis Garcia from the University of Louisville.

Francisco Garcia's draft template is Chen Xiao, and it's Chen Xiao as a rookie.

He has excellent off-ball movement skills, soft touch, and impressive catch-and-shoot moves. He has certain lethality from beyond the three-point line, has good shooting timing, and dares to take shots without hesitation even at critical moments.

After selecting Garcia with the 21st pick, Jordan selected Georgia Tech guard Jarrett Jack with the 22nd pick.

This selection was not about who Jordan thought he looked like, but simply the need for a player who could open up the Charlotte basketball market.

Jarrett Jack is a star in the ACC League, and he is also well-known in North Carolina. When he was a student at Mount Zion Academy High School in North Carolina, he broke Tracy McGrady's scoring record on the team.

Yes, he is Maddie's younger brother and a student at Mount Zion Christian School.

If the Bobcats want to establish themselves in North Carolina, they not only need Jordan, the pride of North Carolina, and Chen Xiao, the Duke killer, but they also need the support of some local North Carolina or ACC stars.

Chris Paul is a student at Wake Forest University.

Jarrett Jack is a player at Georgia Tech.

very suitable.

For Jordan, it would be better if he could select the fourth youngster from North Carolina. Unfortunately, the fourth youngster's market situation is unfavorable this year.

After Jordan selected Jarrett Jack, the Spurs finally selected Zhu Fangyu with the 23rd pick, who was now sitting on pins and needles in the little green room.

The moment he was selected by the Spurs, Zhu Fangyu really cried this time.

He didn't enter the lottery, but he was still selected in the first round.

So when Xiaozhu hugged Chen Xiao and the others excitedly, Chen Xiao and the others also sent their blessings.

"Little pig, you don't care what the pick is. As long as it's the first round, it means you have at least four years to prove yourself."

"Yeah, don't think about other things, study hard and work hard. It will be good in the Spurs."

"Little Pig, I'll bring you and Ron Howard, Arenas and the others to get together in a while."

Xiaozhu was really grateful when he heard Big Brother say this, especially when he heard Chen Xiao say this later.

I almost forgot, the Spurs are within Brother Chen’s sphere of influence!

Therefore, although he is not in the lottery, going to the Spurs is really not a bad choice.

The Spurs chose Zhu Fangyu mainly to cultivate Bowen's successor.

Bowen is getting older.

The Spurs need a small forward who can replace him.

Zhu Fangyu looks good to Popovich.

He has three-pointers, can defend, and can handle the ball, which is very similar to Bowen's style.

Of course, there must be a gap with Bowen in terms of strength.

But you are young, if you can learn, you can cultivate.

After Xiaozhu was selected by the Spurs, next, only Monta Alice, the number one high school student in the entire Green Room, was not selected.

This really embarrassed Monta Alice.

The draft picks disappeared one by one, but Monta Alice still sat there steadily.

So much so that in the end, Monta Alice was desperate.

And just when Monta Alice was desperate...

"In the 2005 NBA draft, with the 27th overall pick in the first round, the Charlotte Bobcats selected guard Monta Alice from Lenel High School!"

Monta Alice, who was already numb, had even forgotten that she was still in the draft at this time.

After a while, Monta Alice recovered and fell into ecstasy.

Monta Alice enters the first round.

Historically he was a second rounder.

In fact, Jordan had no intention of drafting him.

Because two of the players Jordan wanted to select were cut off by other teams, Jordan moved Chen Xiao's second-round players forward without a suitable candidate.

Therefore, the Bobcats not only selected Monta Alice with the 27th pick, but also selected Lou Williams with the 28th pick.

To be honest, with Chen Xiao and Chris Paul, these two players are not the players the Bobcats desperately need.

But Chen Xiao likes two. Jordan feels that he has almost selected the players he should choose, and it is good to use these two picks to make Chen Xiao happy.

After the Miami Heat finally selected Wayne Sieming with the 30th pick, the NBA first-round draft was completely over.

And the second round of the draft is coming soon.

The Bobcats selected Ersen Ilyasova, an 18-year-old Turkish forward, with the 31st pick.

At the same time, with the 33rd pick, the Bobcats selected Marcin Gortat.

So far, all four players Chen Xiao prepared for Jordan have been selected.

After Jordan selected Gortat with the 33rd pick, the Bobcats also had two second-round picks from the Hawks and Mosaic, 34th and 43rd.

These two draft picks eventually selected two backup players given by Chen Xiao, high school students CJ Miles and Amir Johnson.

So far, the Bobcats' six first-round and four second-round picks this year have all been selected.

Except that Jordan has two not selected, the rest is a perfect end.

So, when the draft ended, Jordan in front of the TV had a relieved expression on his face.

“The free market is next!”
