After dinner, most of the people in Liu Xiu's family stayed in front of the TV, waiting to watch the draft show that started at 8 o'clock.

Liu Xiu was very curious about who would become the No. 1 pick.

The Bulls selected Rose largely because Rose is a native of Chicago. In high school, he led Simon Vocational College to win two consecutive Illinois High School League championships. This was the first time in history for a high school in Chicago.

After his senior year in high school, Rose ranked sixth among high school students in the country, won the Illinois Mr. Basketball Award, was selected to the All-American Team, and was selected to the Jordan All-American Team.

Although Rose did not go to school locally, he reached the NCAA Basketball Championship finals. The Bulls will definitely select him first when they get the No. 1 pick.

But here, the winner of the No. 1 pick is the Sonics... This team will be disbanded soon. The Sonics have vacated everything in Seattle at the end of April and moved their family to Oklahoma City.

Without the status of the Bulls' 'local talent', Rose's reputation as the top pick is not high.

Currently, Billis is the top pick, Mayo was the top high school student in the country that year, and Love is the most talented inside man.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the draft began.

David Stern walked onto the stage with the envelope and rambled for three minutes. Although boos filled the Madison Square Garden Arena, he still had some unfinished thoughts... He was also surprised when he opened the envelope and saw the name on it.

one time.

This small detail was caught by the cameraman and gave a close-up.

Stern was a professional and immediately came to his senses and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Seattle SuperSonics selected... Derrick Rose from the University of Memphis!"

It was really a rose + schoolbag! Liu Xiu couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

Qing'er asked: "Brother, do you think highly of this rookie?"

Liu Xiu responded: "Well, another rose is about to bloom."

Roses are in full bloom, this was the comment given by Sports Illustrated when the Trail Blazers won the championship in the 2004-05 season.

Liu Xiu actually used this to describe this rookie who only made a counterattack after reaching the third level of madness, which surprised Qing'er and others.

The Heat, which ranked last in the league with 15 wins, took second place, and not surprisingly selected Beasley, the number one pick.

On the day of the lottery, the fortune teller was scolded when he only got the second pick, but now he is smiling like nothing.

The Hornets, who drew the No. 3 pick, selected Kevin Love, which left Liu Xiu and his family full of questions - wasn't it because they were bloated inside that they sent David West to the Lakers?

Immediately afterwards, the Grizzlies selected Mayo with the 4th overall pick, and the Clippers selected Westbrook with the 5th overall pick...the trade is here!

The Clippers sent Westbrook's signing rights and Shaun Livingston to the Hornets in exchange for Love's signing rights and the 33rd overall pick in the second round.

Qing'er suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Hornets chose Love in order to get Livingston back. The Clippers and Brand had a falling out. Brand was reimbursed for a year. The Clippers were only willing to give an average of 1,000 thousand per year.

Wan's contract, but Brand wants the maximum salary. Without Brand, the Clippers will choose Love in the draft... But the Hornets are too confident, wouldn't it be a disaster if they lose him?"

Liu Xiuying said: "The Hornets have been scolded for being stupid in the past few years, and they don't care if they are scolded for another year. They choose to be gambling dogs. If the bet wins, the starting point guard and backup point guard will be gathered together at once, and

They should be very confident that they can complete this deal. The Clippers look down on Livingston and feel that he is too thin and anyone in the starting lineup can beat him.

Also, the Clippers want stars who can sell tickets. Westbrook and Love are both UCLA players, but Love is more popular in Los Angeles than Westbrook. Love has been the most talented inside man in the United States since high school.

One, who is easier to trust than Westbrook’s brief highlight period..."

Seeing Livingston being traded, Liu Xiu thought of this former high school genius. He did not break his leg like he did in the original time and space, and he did not create that terrible video clip.

But he wasn't injured, and he didn't grow into a superstar. The legendary "talent" was not as powerful as what was promoted in the forums in the original time and space.

In his rookie year, he averaged 7 points and 5 assists per game. In his sophomore year, he averaged 5 points and 4 assists. In his third year, which was the season he originally played for half the season, he averaged 9+5 per game.

Only averaging 10+5+5 per game.

As a point guard who is two meters tall and weighs only 84 kilograms, he can hardly play in the starting lineup unless he wants to perform badly.

A high school student with good physical condition and hard work does not mean that he will really become a superstar. Similar to the Outlaws, Livingston looked very good, but it was obvious when he was in the first or second grade. He was different from Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

, there is a qualitative gap in talent between James and others.

With the 6th pick, Jordan selected DJ Augustin.

Liu Xiu looked at Eric Gordon, Gallinari, Lopez... among these geniuses, Jordan chose Augustin.

It is difficult for anyone to match this vision.

He is worthy of being the God of Basketball!

The Nets selected Brook Lopez with the 7th overall pick, the Kings selected Eric Gordon with the 8th overall pick, the 76ers selected Danilo Gallinari with the 9th overall pick, and the Timberwolves

The team selected Brandon Rush with the 10th overall pick, the Bucks selected Jason Thompson with the 11th overall pick, the Wizards selected Jerry Bayless with the 12th overall pick, and the Rockets selected 13th overall pick.

Drafted 'China Boy' Joe Alexander...

Liu Xiu analyzed the intentions of his opponents. As the Nets rebuild, they give priority to the inside pick; the Kings draft is a mystery; the 76ers are trying to equip Iguodala with pitchers. Currently, Iguodala seems to have superstar potential, but no one has.

It is expected that Iguodala has reached his peak; the Bucks strengthen the interior; Arenas' recovery situation on the Wizards does not seem to be very good, so choose a point guard to support him; Mosaic watches the Trail Blazers and Pistons make money

Jealous, the prodigal owner of the Hawks, Steven Price, saw that he was about to go bankrupt and had no choice but to go home and gnaw on his old age. However, he survived after drafting Yi Jianlian!

Although the Hawks are not as profitable as the Trail Blazers and Pistons, they have hope of making money.

After the lottery selection was completed, the camera showed the little green room. DeAndre Jordan was crying because he hadn't been selected yet!

Liu Xiu remembered that this guy was going to fall into the second round, and he debated whether to choose it or not.

What DeAndre Jordan can do, Kwame Brown can do better, and what Kwame Brown can do, DeAndre Jordan rarely can do.

As for the fact that Jordan can be selected for the double team in the future, it took the Clippers many years of training to achieve it. Moreover, not to mention that it was all in 2016, the value of the double team is better than that of Noah.

The gold content of both pairs is low.

In those years, the defense at the center position was just a joke. It really only looked at the data.

As for being drafted and traded, this is not true at all. During the draft, there was no one selected from the predicted lottery area to the second round, so there would be no trading value if he was selected.

After being selected, it is impossible to reduce Kwame Brown's playing time to cultivate a substitute. Otherwise, what would they do with the Birds' three-year, $10 million contract extension? They just want a player who can make an immediate contribution.

In my impression, Jordan, who was in first and second grade, was really disgusting when he was spending garbage time.

Then if Jordan is selected back, he can't 'train and then sell'.

If you choose Jordan, the biggest possibility is to ruin this legacy that can be produced by giving enough playing time and cultivating him for two or three years.

The draft continued, and soon it came to the end of the first round.

The Raptors selected Ibaka with the 24th overall pick and then sent him to the SuperSonics; the Jazz selected power center Kosta Koufos with the 25th overall pick; the Pacers selected Ryan - with the 26th overall pick.

Anderson and then traded him to the Nets.

It’s almost time for the 27th pick!

Liu Xiu is very curious about who the team will choose.

He gave a name, Paul Allen gave a name, Payton also gave recommendations, and the team also had its own candidates.

Moreover, except for Ibaka, all of these candidates are still in the "rookie pool."

George Hill, Chalmers, Batum, Luke Mbah a Moute, Dragic.

The Raptors snatched Ibaka and gave it to the SuperSonics. It seemed to be the same in time and space. Liu Xiu had seen the news describing "Ibaka returns to the Raptors". They didn't expect the first time in team history.

They won a championship with a late first-round player they didn't want at the time.

The Jazz selected Koufus. Liu Xiu saw the news and said that the Jazz had begun to lose patience with Chandler. After playing for a year, there was almost no improvement. What level he was at the beginning of the season was still the same at the end of the season, so he was ready to make up for it.

Strong center position.

Three minutes passed quickly. David Stern returned to the stage, opened the envelope and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Nicolas Bartle from France with the 27th pick in the first round.

Mu!"

Big dog owner!

Batum was named by Paul Allen. He said that he watched a French Ligue 1 game during a business trip to France and was amazed by Batum's performance.

However, the big man's draft vision is actually quite good. In the original time and space, during his more than ten years as the owner of the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers experienced a lot of things that went against the times, but he has always done a good job in the draft, but it's really

Back time.

When the Outlaw plays as a substitute, he occasionally defends the power forward and occasionally defends the defender. Multiple substitutes on the forward line are also good.

After Hill's end of the season, he went to Cleveland to treat a lumbar nerve injury. Thomas Carter, who went to Cleveland to assist in the treatment, gave the Trail Blazers management very exciting news, so it would be a good idea to choose a substitute to solidify the depth of the forward line.

Good choice.

The analysis is like this, but Liu Xiu still feels that this is a big deal that does not respect martial ethics and forces John Nash to choose this way because he is the boss.

Then the Hornets used the Lakers' first-round pick to select Darrell Arthur with the 28th overall pick; the Celtics used the Bulls' first-round pick to select JR Gisdon with the 29th overall pick.

;The Spurs selected George Hill with the 30th overall pick.

George Hill, an older rookie with excellent independent offensive ability, John Nash's choice, the type of point guard the Trail Blazers need. Flying Squirrel retired, and Reed's stability is worrying. Choosing George Hill is a good choice.

.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu felt a lot more balanced. He knew how to kneel down and lick the big boss when he asked this general manager.

In the second round, Liu Xiu began to chat with his family about the selection of each team, and he was not very interested in the subsequent draft.

However, when he arrived at the 33rd pick and saw that the Clippers selected DeAndre Jordan with the second-round pick given by the Hornets, Liu Xiu didn't know if he would regret it in three to five years, but the Hornets estimated that

It would be a pain in the ass, it would be equivalent to exchanging Love + DeAndre Jordan's core twin towers of one offense and one defense for Westbrook.
