At the draft, Sun Yi came to the stage wearing a Wizards baseball cap and shook hands with David Stern.
"Congratulations, Sun Yi, I'm looking forward to your performance very much."
Stern smiled and patted Sun Yi on the shoulder very happily.
Can he be unhappy? Dayao is injured, Arab League has not yet played, Sun Yue is facing being laid off, and he can only rely on the newly joined Sun Yi to save the Chinese market.
"Thank you! Mr. President." Sun Yi responded with a smile.
After taking photos with Stern, Sun Yi quickly came down from the stage.
Director Zhang was waiting in the media area. When he saw Sun Yi coming over, he led his team to come forward immediately for an interview.
Sun Yi saw Director Zhang coming up to him with a happy face, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he would not accept the interview. He did not want to be slapped in the face as soon as he set the flag.
"Director Zhang, don't do the interview yet, there seems to be a deal later." Sun Yi came to Director Zhang and whispered.
"Ah? I didn't expect this to happen to you." Director Zhang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that such an incident would happen.
After a while, the latest transaction information was displayed on the large screen.
The Golden State Warriors used part of Stephen Jackson and Marco Belinelli's cash from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Etan Tomas, Darius Sangela, No. 6 pick Sun Yi, and the 2011 first-round draft pick.
The essence of this deal is basically that the quasi-All-Star Jackson is exchanged for two first-round picks.
Wizards general manager Glenn Field feels he has made a lot of money.
Not only did he deal with two garbage contracts, he also got a quasi-All-Star player, and he believed that the first-round pick given away was worthless.
Now that the Wizards have formed the Big Four, it would be a joke if they couldn't make the playoffs, so their draft picks in the next few years are worthless at all.
And Warriors head coach Nelson didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.
Wu Sheng Jackson's contract is about to expire, and there is a high probability that the Warriors will not be able to renew it. It is very worthwhile to take advantage of the trade value.
Moreover, as long as Sun Yi plays, he will make a lot of money.
All we can say is that both parties feel that they are not at a loss, so who loses in the end?!
At the same time, there were bursts of exclamations at the draft meeting, and everyone was very surprised.
After hearing the exclamation, Curry, who was feeling a little depressed, looked up to see what happened.
"Cool! I like Oakland so much!" Curry stood up excitedly and shouted excitedly.
"Stephen, watch your appearance!" Dell Curry tugged on his son's clothes to signal him to be quiet.
After Curry reacted, he felt that he had just lost his composure. He looked at the strange looks around him, scratched his head, and sat down embarrassedly.
Not far from Curry's table, Griffin was equally happy when he saw the result of the transaction.
Before, he had to seek revenge one by one, and the Wizards were considered a strong team, so he was worried that he would not be able to get revenge.
Now that he sees those two little mice who were fighting each other on the same team, he feels that it is very convenient. Moreover, the Warriors are a weak team like the Clippers. His self-confidence has greatly increased, and he feels that he can complete his revenge.
"Damn stinky rat, wait for me to take revenge!" After Griffin made his plan, he clapped his hands with a smile.
Those who didn't know it thought he had a very good relationship with Sun Yi and was happy for his brother.
On the other side, Sun Yi took the Warriors baseball cap brought by the staff and put it on his head.
"Okay, Director Zhang, the interview is now ready."
"So, the Wizards drafted you for the Warriors?" Director Zhang read the transaction information and thought for a while before roughly clarifying the matter.
"Well, it can be said that I didn't go to the Wizards for a trial before, but I got a promise during the Warriors' trial." Sun Yi explained patiently.
"Congratulations, Sun Yi. Being selected with such a high pick shows that your talent is outstanding. Can you tell me how you feel at this time?"
"I'm very happy now. I didn't expect to be selected with the sixth pick. It's such a surprise. My family is also happy for me. Their support is my biggest motivation." Sun Yi answered truthfully.
"After entering the NBA, are you looking forward to the first derby match with the United Arab Emirates?"
"I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure I can learn a lot from playing against Brother Yi." Sun Yi replied calmly.
While Sun Yi was being interviewed, the draft continued.
With the seventh pick, the New York Knicks selected Jordan Hill.
Knicks head coach D'Antoni was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't choose Curry, he could still choose Sun Yi, but he didn't expect that they would all be chosen. Nelson was simply bullying others!
In the end, he was forced to choose an inside player to make up for the Knicks' shortcomings in the inside.
With the eighth pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected golden boy Rubio.
Although Rubio was unable to land in the NBA immediately, the Timberwolves front office decided to take a gamble.
With the ninth pick, the Toronto Raptors selected backup DeMar DeRozan, which can be regarded as achieving their goal.
With the 10th overall pick, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Brandon Jennings.
After he was selected, he said directly in an interview that teams that missed him would definitely regret it. He would use practical actions to prove that those teams that missed him were all blind!
Jennings does have something to be proud of. He hit 50 points in his rookie season, and he does have some strength.
But then it was short-lived and didn’t do much.
With the 11th pick, the New Jersey Nets selected Jonny Flynn.
Flynn, who was originally supposed to go to the Timberwolves, now goes to the Nets to hang out with the Arab League. I don't know if he can make a name for himself.
With the twelfth pick, the Charlotte Bobcats selected Gerald Henderson.
With the 13th overall pick, the Indiana Pacers selected Tyler Hansbrough.
The Pacers want to make the playoffs, so strength is what they need.
With the fourteenth pick, the Phoenix Suns selected Terrence Williams.
So far, the 2009 lotto has been released. Except for a few minor accidents, everything else is basically the same as the original history.
Afterwards, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jrue Holiday with the 17th overall pick.
Jeff Teague was drafted by the Hawks, alumni Ty Lawson and Ellington went to the Timberwolves, Darren Collison went to the Hornets, and Gibson went to the Bulls.
With the 30th overall pick in the first round, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Hassan Whiteside.
Sun Yi saw Dabai Bian being selected in the first round and was happy for him, and felt that among the three of them, Hassan was the first to touch the floor of the regional finals.
After the first round, I took a short break and went to the second round.
The person reporting in the second round was not Stern, but league vice president Matt Tatum.
Sun Yi has an impression of Tatum and thinks he is a very good person.
If it weren't for Tatum's pedigree, he should be Stern's successor, not Xiao Hua.
The second round only had 3 minutes to prepare, so it went very quickly.
Not long after, with the fifteenth pick in the second round, the Suns selected Griffin's older brother, Tyler Griffin.
The quality of this second round pick is pretty good.
Beverley, Budinger, Danny Green, Mills and others all played.
After Tatum announces the 30th pick in the second round, this draft will be over.
Finally, all the rookies present gathered together and took a photo with David Stern standing in the middle.
At this point, the 2009 draft has come to a successful conclusion.
Sun Yi will also start his career with the Golden State Warriors!
