On May 18, the 2009 NBA draft lottery came as scheduled.

After the lottery is completed, the players participating in this year's draft will begin their trial training journey.

On this day, Sun Yi did not train. Instead, he gathered with Schwartz, Procopio, Whiteside and others and watched the pictures on the TV attentively.

"Viewers, welcome to the sports channel. What will be broadcast soon is the lottery ceremony of the 2009 NBA draft."

On the TV, the commentators were Mike Breen and draft expert Mike Schmitz.

Not long after, the draft lottery ceremony began.

Due to the rules, we start with the fourth pick and work our way back until we reach the fourteenth pick, and then we draw the third overall pick, the second pick, and the top pick.

Sun Yi looked at the TV screen and whispered: "I wonder if there will be any changes."

"The fourth pick in the first round, the Sacramento Kings!" League acting executive David Shoemaker announced the result.

"Oh! It's unbelievable that the Kings, who have the worst record, didn't get the No. 1 pick, or even make it into the top three!" Schwartz said in surprise.

"Maybe it's because Chris Webber, who represents the Kings in the draw, has a too dark face!" Sun Yi joked, livening up the atmosphere.

"The fifth pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors!"

On TV, league acting executive David Shoemaker announced the results again.

The Warriors' record this season is even worse than what Sun Yi remembered in his previous life. They went crazy at the end of the season just to get a high draft pick, and it seems they got their wish.

"Primary school students still can't escape from the clutches of the Warriors." Sun Yi mourned in his heart for Curry.

The lottery ceremony continues, and the sixth pick is won by the Wizards.

The seventh pick is the New York Knicks, the eighth pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves, the ninth pick is the Toronto Raptors, the tenth pick is the Milwaukee Bucks, the eleventh pick is the New Jersey Nets, and the twelfth pick is

It's the Charlotte Bobcats, the 13th pick is the Indiana Pacers, and the 14th pick is the Phoenix Suns.

At this point, after all the fourth to fourteenth picks have been drawn, only the representatives of the Clippers, Thunder and Grizzlies are left with smiles on their faces, unable to hide their excitement.

Immediately afterwards, it was the most critical moment of this lottery ceremony.

"The third pick in the first round, Oklahoma City Thunder!" League acting executive David Shoemaker announced the third overall pick.

As the Thunder's representative in the draw, Presti looked disappointed as the expected results were not achieved.

Afterwards, league acting executive David Shoemaker continued to announce the results.

"Second pick in the first round, Memphis Grizzlies!"

When he heard that the Grizzlies had won the second pick, Baron Davis, the representative of the Clippers, was extremely excited, which meant that he would win the first pick.

"It's good that the No. 1 pick will help me." Baron Davis felt delighted.

But he didn't expect that the No. 1 pick would be reimbursed due to injuries in his first season.

When the No. 1 pick came back, he was traded to another team and was unable to enjoy the support of the No. 1 pick.

"The first pick in the first round, the Los Angeles Clippers!" League acting executive David Shoemaker announced the final result.

At this point, the draft lottery ceremony ends.

When the draft lottery ceremony is over, it means that agents with rookie players on their hands will start to get busy.

Although Schwartz has No. 1 candidate Blake Griffin,

But in fact, players like Griffin are the most worry-free.

Schwartz only needs to let Griffin go to the team with the top three picks for a trial training. Other teams do not need to consider it at all, and there is no need to consider it.

With Griffin's talent, once he falls out of the top three picks, he will immediately be signed by the team holding the fourth overall pick. Other teams are not stupid.

Only players like Sun Yi whose draft positions fluctuate a lot need to carefully select trial teams.

After Schwartz looked at the final lottery results, he went out and made a phone call, instructing his right-hand man to handle Griffin's trial training plan, and then returned to the room again.

"Sun, according to the characteristics of your playing style, I will select several suitable teams from the invited teams to go for trial training.

A team that suits you may be more important than your draft pick.

Moreover, too intensive trial training will also affect your trial performance, and the gain will outweigh the loss." Schwartz suggested.

"Mr. Schwartz, no problem."

Sun Yi nodded after hearing this and agreed very much.

"Today, those high-ranking teams will send out invitations. After we select them, we will go for trial training."

After Schwartz made arrangements for Sun Yi, he continued to advise Whiteside.

"Hassan, your current draft price is at the end of the first round or the beginning of the first round. You may improve by going to the joint trial. I will send a team to follow you for trial training."

Whiteside nodded. He knew that his draft price could not be compared with that of Sun Yi, and he could only compete with others.

"Hassan, come on!" Sun Yi patted Whiteside on the shoulder and said.

"Sun, I will definitely work hard and strive to earn more small money."

After Whiteside said goodbye to Sun Yi, he followed Schwartz's agent team to Chicago for a joint trial.

…

The next day, Schwartz came to Sun Yi's room to discuss the team list for the trial training.

"Now, the Thunder, Warriors, Knicks, Raptors, Bobcats and Suns have sent me workout invitations," Schwartz said.

After hearing this, Sun Yi thought thoughtfully. These teams are all attractive to him.

But there are one or two teams that don't need his type of player.

With Sun Yi's current physical condition, he can only play small forward.

Because his ball-handling skills are not good enough, he can only start as a 3D player.

"There's no need to go to Thunder and Lynx, they don't have a place for me," Sun Yi said.

The Thunder have Durant, and it will be difficult for Sun Yi to start in the starting lineup, and they need interior players.

The reason for not going to the Bobcats is that Sun Yi doesn't want to play under Jordan, it's as simple as that.

Schwartz nodded and began to analyze the remaining teams.

"The Knicks have too many forward players, and it will be difficult for you to get playing time if you are selected. You may consider going to trial training at the end.

The Suns' style of play suits you very well, but they are a bit low in the draft and can be used as an alternative.

The Raptors have Marion on the front line, but I heard that he will be traded. If you are selected to fill the vacancy on the front line, and the Raptors are a weak team, you will get a lot of opportunities.

The Warriors' playing style is also very suitable for you. There is a shortage of players on the front line, and the pick is very high, so you can be the first to go to trial training."

After listening to Schwartz's analysis, Sun Yi nodded and said, "Then let's go to Auckland first."

"Okay, I will arrange the trial training schedule as soon as possible and try to complete all trial training teams at once."

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Schwartz."
Chapter completed!
