The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

The 2009 NBA Draft arrived as scheduled.

This time the Warriors won the No. [-] lottery.

The No. [-] pick must be Griffin. There is no doubt about this, but I don’t know if the Warriors have selected Griffin. Who will choose Curry? Without the Warriors, can the Knicks get what they want?

"Boss, the negotiation with the Grizzlies was successful, and the draft picks provided by the Grizzlies made the other party very satisfied."

At this moment, Stern has officially announced on stage that the draft has begun.

With almost no hesitation, the Warriors completed the selection. The Warriors used the No. [-] pick to select Griffin.

The second pick is the Thunder. Xu Xiao's reason made the Thunder miss the second pick of Durant. I don't know who the Thunder will use this second pick this time?

"James Harden" was pronounced along with Harden's name, and Xu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that President Pu's vision has always been online, and he did not choose the previous hot Thabeet.

Then the king selected Tyreke Evans with the third overall pick, which was the same as the previous choice, but the pick was advanced. It seems that this is true love.

The Raptors with the fourth overall pick selected Rubio somewhat unexpectedly.

Their team already has a Spanish point guard Calderon, how to choose another one?Many people have the same question in their minds. Shouldn't they choose Thabeet to protect the frame for their weak insiders?

Immediately afterwards, the Grizzlies selected Thabeet with the fifth overall pick.

It seems that the three picks down did not avoid this pit, the Grizzlies are really miserable.

But the Grizzlies immediately announced that they would send their center Al Jefferson to the Pistons in exchange for the No. 09 pick in 16 and "Big Baby" Glenn Davis.

The first trade in the draft was done, and many thought it was the Grizzlies paving the way for Thabeet.

But soon, a second deal also appeared.

It's a three-way deal, the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves and the Eagles.

The Grizzlies took the No. 09 pick of the Pistons in 16, their own first-round picks in 10 and 12, guard Mike Miller + power forward Warrick, got Timberwolves' Gasol Jr., guard Gary Neal, and 09 in 29. Pick (Lakers' first-round pick)

The Timberwolves have center Gasol Jr., guard Gary Neal, power forward Milicic, power forward Toliver and guard Tucker, as well as the Lakers' first-round pick.

Get the Grizzlies' 10-year first-round pick, Mike Miller and Warrick, and the Eagles' Josh Smith and this year's second-round pick No. 39.

The Eagles selected Josh Smith and the No. 39 pick in this year's second round, and got the No. 16 pick in the first round of this year's Pistons, the Grizzlies' first round of 12, power forwards Milicic and Toliver, and guard Tucker.

This deal directly pushed the atmosphere of the draft to a climax.

Are the Timberwolves going to pass?For a Josh, he even gave up his most luxurious inside combination?Haven't been abused enough by Garnett last season?

"Can Josh guard Garnett?"

"At first, I thought that the three towers of the Timberwolves were the most promising to end the three highs of the Lakers in the West, but I didn't expect that the management didn't give time to grow. With this lineup, when I meet the Lakers next season, I won't be called Dad. ah."

All the commentators started to fire with all their firepower, and Xu Xiao was used to it anyway.

As long as he makes a deal, there is basically no one who will not be criticized. There is no way. Who told him to leave the impression that he is a fool, but these people who criticized him are sleeping. As the season progresses, they gradually pretend to be dead and disappear.

But this time, replacing Josh with a lineup that looks to be taking shape is really hard to understand. What is Josh?A player with explosive talent but limited golf quotient.

It has been proven in the Eagles, a player who relies on physical talent to play, and he is a non-standard player. He has no basket in three games, poor single defense, and a bit short in four games. He is good at supplementary defense, but he can't do dirty work Tiring.

So this deal really confuses many people.

Xu Xiao ignored it, and continued to watch the upcoming draft.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Stephen Curry with the 7th pick!

Xu Xiao really didn't expect this. Unexpectedly, without the Warriors, Curry would still be intercepted at No. 7, and the Knicks at No. [-] would have to cry to death.

Curry, who was intercepted, was also a little unhappy. After all, who would want to go to a place like Milwaukee.

"I don't know if the history of the Bucks will be changed if Curry is selected, but it is foreseeable that they will not be able to select letters." Xu Xiao thought.

Xu Xiao really doesn't like letters from the bottom of his heart. Apart from his perverted physical talent, he really has nothing to praise.

There is also that disgusting small gesture of tiptoe or something, but Xu Xiao has also thought about changing the letters himself, I don't know if he will correct the letters, at least in terms of character, he can't be messed up.

The next Knicks could only choose Jordan Hill with tears in their eyes. It was really the same script as in the previous life.

Afterwards, the Bobcats selected Jennings, but soon the Bobcats announced that they would trade Jennings to the Warriors in exchange for "Martial Saint" Jackson.

Presumably, the Bobcats head coach was replaced by Larry Brown, a man who is notorious for not using rookies. In addition, they already have Felton and DJ Augustine at the back line. If they choose Jennings, the intention is obvious. .

The Nets selected DeRozan in the next pick, and then it was revealed by reporters that the Nets and the Magic have basically reached an agreement, and Carter will most likely appear in Orlando next season.

Soon came the Timberwolves, who held the 13th overall pick and selected the older rookie from Wake Forest University, James Johnson.

This elder brother has a strong physical quality. Although he is not tall, he has a strong body, and he moves laterally quickly and is relatively flexible, so he spends most of his time playing between the third and fourth positions.

In addition, this eldest brother has another identity, that is, a black belt master from a family of martial arts, which is what Xu Xiao values ​​most.

The Timberwolves players are young and passionate, but most of them are good kids, and they need a thug like this to protect them.

After that, Xu Xiao didn't pay much attention. The more famous Lawson was selected by the Jazz, Holiday was selected by the 76ers, and Teague was selected by the Hornets to become Paul's substitute.

After that, the Timberwolves selected Tai Gibson with the 23rd overall pick. This power forward who is not tall but has a tough style can be regarded as one of Thibodeau's confidantes.

Xu Xiao also has his own considerations in choosing him. I have Ibaka. Although Ibaka is good at defense, he is strong in assisting defense and defending the frame, and his defensive ability is really average. When he meets a powerful power forward I can only stare blankly.

In the previous life, Ibaka was single-pointed by players like Randolph, Aldridge, and Nowitzki, and he had no temper at all.

Therefore, Xu Xiaohao needs someone who can defend, and Gibson in this rookie is a good supplement. Under Thibodeau, Gibson works hard, is willing to be a blue-collar, and also has shots on the offensive end. A master, so he can replace the peak Boozer at critical moments many times.

All the people who want to be selected have been selected, and then you can quietly enjoy their performances.

The Spurs selected Darren Collison with the 24th pick, which Xu Xiao did not expect. The big brother who let Westbrook play as a substitute in the past did not expect to fall into this pick, but fortunately, the Spurs did not choose George Hope. Well, the selection of Collison can be regarded as a supplement.

Then the Timberwolves selected the white dunk Budinger with the 39th pick, and picked Matthews with the thigh at the 58th pick. Xu Xiao was unwilling to sign Matthews in the losing market. He was confident that he would not be able to sign.

Moreover, Matthews is a confident player. Even if he loses the draft, he is confident that he will only sign with the Jazz for one year, and he will directly get a big contract with the Blazers in the second year.

The only thing Xu Xiao paid attention to was the Lakers. They had three second-round picks this year, and they selected Ayres, Jeremy Taylor and Australian kangaroo Patty Mills.

None of these people poses a threat to Xu Xiao's plan. Although the media has made a lot of noise about these three people, they are not the ones who can change the future of the Lakers.

Mills is good, but unfortunately the Lakers will not use it.

After the draft, Xu Xiao went to meet the newcomers as usual, and because of the team's outstanding performance last year, the system gave another 2500 system coins, so Xu Xiao naturally had to continue the lottery draw.

The first ten consecutive draws almost didn't let Xu Xiao pass, 9 friendship and confidence cards, [-] health card, now Xu Xiao just wants to ensure that the system dies in place.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't. You can only come if you don't."

Feeling anxious, Xu Xiao made another ten consecutive draws. This time he vomited blood again. A special skill card and a star card were still B-level.

Xu Xiao had to open it immediately, if there was a flashy player card, he would really vomit blood and die.

Since you want to open it, then open it together.

This time the special skill card is also opened together.

"Congratulations to the host, you got Jeff Green's star card, and congratulations to the host, you got the universal understanding card."

"Jeff Green is a good choice. He has a strong scoring ability and a relatively high IQ. He is one of the players who have the best pick-and-roll with Harden." But now Xu Xiao doesn't want to care about this. what.

"Universal understanding card, when misunderstood by others, using this card can immediately eliminate the misunderstanding and get back together."

"I'll go, this is a good thing." Xu Xiao raised his brows and felt a little moved, and couldn't wait to try it.

Since the last time Xu Xiao exchanged a maid from the system, Yi Lin never took the initiative to contact Xu Xiao again.

Sure enough, after a while, Yilin called.

"I was a little impulsive before, and I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I forgive you!" Xu Xiao was so happy when he said this, it felt like a big rock fell to the ground.

This is better than a forgiveness hat.

......

The misunderstanding in life has been resolved, and now he has to devote himself to work. Next, Xu Xiao will build a brand new Timberwolf.

Without hesitation, he handed Paul's skill card to Josh.

Josh's physical talent was at the historical world level, and he was also known as the little James back then, but Josh's golf quotient, shooting, and defense are hard to describe.

But this is exactly Paul's strength. Paul is not talented enough, so every time he plays a key game in the playoffs, he cannot lead the team to go further. This also makes "the floor of the Western Conference Finals" a joke.

But now, this kind of technology has given Josh a talented man, so I don't know what will happen next. Maybe this is an existence comparable to James.

Compared with James, Paul's shooting, especially the mid-range, is definitely the most stable, and he is called "the graveyard of murder" by his grandson.And Paul's defense needless to say, 7 consecutive defenses, this is an achievement that even James cannot achieve.

And one of Paul's criticized small tricks was also filtered by Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao's requirement for the team is to be tough, but not bad, and to fight but not to be bad.

In this way, Josh has changed from a nonchalant player to a standard third position, and he still does not lose to LeBron's third position.

Xu Xiao affectionately called him for the time being: "Artificial LeBron"

Now Xu Xiao is very much looking forward to the arrival of next season. He wants to see where the upper limit of this team is, although it may not be able to reach the championship level.

But it is foreseeable that the Timberwolves next season will be a team with both talent and technology. It only needs time to settle, run in, and accumulate experience. The future must be theirs.
