Chapter 921 Who Was Robbed? The 2009 NBA Draft!

Curry was very confused.

After being confused, Curry walked to the front desk like a zombie and shook hands with David Stern in a daze.

Seeing the first star of the NCAA like this, David Stern was a little amused.

To be honest, he only read four names in this year's draft.

But except for Griffin, the other three names surprised him very much.

In the evaluation of most media experts in the United States, Evans should not be the second, and Gerald Henderson should not be the third.

However, this year's draft is a bit special.

Except for Griffin, the hard talents of other rookies are average. It can be said that selecting people other than Griffin is a gamble.

Since it is a gamble, then except for Griffin, the draft position of anyone is not very surprising.

Even the young man named Thabeet, because of his long hands and feet, he was hyped up by many people who wanted to use him to rob the Supersonics. Even in the period before the draft, he had the momentum of the second pick.

The waters of this year's draft are really very muddy.

However, seeing Curry's distraught look, David Stern's eyes narrowed slightly.

The headquarters of the NBA is in New York, so of course he has heard about some things about the New York Knicks.

To be honest, he has always thought that the No. 1 star of the NCAA will be in New York, but he didn't expect it...

Who told me...

Ahem, the draft is still going on, let's talk about these things later.

Curry was very unhappy when he came down from the stage, and he was visibly unhappy. Klay and Spencer Hawes at the table next to him sat down to comfort him.

Everyone knows that Curry wants to go to New York.

New York also longs for him very much. The two of them are a perfect match, but they were separated by the Pacers.

Curry was confused not only at this time.

The sudden appearance of the Pacers monster also dumbfounded Isaiah Thomas and Curry's parents who were preparing to celebrate in the hotel.

The New York Knicks jersey of Curry is ready, just waiting for Curry to finish the interview and put it on after coming out of Madison Square Garden.

Curry looks 100% cooked.

Now he is flying? !

Curry's family and the New York Knicks' top management are quite embarrassed.

Just now, we said a lot of things that we are already a family, what should we do now?

Are we still a family now?

Of course not!

The hotel, which was originally very cheerful and harmonious, has completely changed in an instant.

The New York Knicks' celebration to welcome Curry can no longer continue.

Curry at the draft conference, after being dazed, confused and uncomfortable, quickly adjusted his mentality.

"The Pacers are not bad either. Granger is a fan of the master and a good disciple. The big man Roy Hibbert is also very capable. He even blocked us in the NCAA semifinals last year. If I go to the Pacers, the Pacers will definitely be able to enter the playoffs next season and become a strong NBA team in one fell swoop!"

"Besides, going to the Pacers is better than going to the Warriors!"

Curry wanted to continue talking, but Klay covered his mouth directly. Didn't he see that Evans next to him wanted to hit him?

"Ahem, Stephen, the Golden State Warriors are a good place."

Klay Thompson was not complimenting. As a native of Los Angeles, California, Klay's first choice was of course to be selected by the Clippers at the 12th pick.

In fact, the Clippers have always contacted Klay.

It's just that Klay is not as "arrogant" as Curry, so he has never made it public.

And his current draft prediction is indeed to be selected by the Clippers at the 12th pick.

But if he misses the first choice, he is indeed more willing to go to the Warriors than other teams.

Golden State is also his hometown.

Curry is an optimistic person by nature, and his sorrows come and go quickly.

After being beaten by life, Curry started to enjoy the melon again.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the fifth pick, the Utah Jazz selected the Spanish guard Ricky Rubio!"

This is not a surprising result.

"It is well known that the Jazz want to get this Spaniard."

Curry looked at Rubio's excitement and joy and complained.

After the previous three surprises, this one is finally back on track.

Rubio and the Jazz have been in love for a long time.

After the Jazz selected Rubio, who they had long admired, Curry looked at David Stern with resentment.

Curry is now very envious of the lucky guy selected by the New York Knicks.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the sixth pick, the New York Knicks selected the Chinese guard Chen Jianghua!"

It turns out that Chen is the lucky guy...

Curry secretly resented in his heart.

As for Chen Jianghua, he really doesn't want to be the lucky guy...

His draft pick is predicted to be very high, second.

But he always knew that his pick was not that high.

Not many teams with high picks contacted him. The team with the highest pick was the Houston Rockets, and he was more inclined to go to the Rockets and partner with Yao Ming.

New York Knicks...

Curry and Americans may not know how bad the New York Knicks' reputation is in China...

Chinese fans who watch the New York Knicks are watching a bunch of fools, okay!

People who have aspirations will never want to be fools in the New York Knicks.

"Thank you New York and the Knicks for your trust. I won't let you down."

Chen Jianghua's speech was simple, but it still received huge applause from the New York Knicks fans at the scene.

The original predicted favorite for the second pick fell to sixth and was picked up by the New York Knicks. This is of course worth celebrating.

Some New York fans even shouted that no matter how many tricks David Stern had, the second best player was still from the New York Knicks.

"I didn't expect Andy Lau to be the sixth pick."

"The sixth pick and the first pick are lucky picks for Chinese players!"

"Six six great luck, good luck, I wish Andy Lau a prosperous NBA career!"

In China, in the training team for the 2009 Tianjin Men's Basketball Asian Championship, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian, as well as the Chinese men's basketball players led by Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Wang Zhizhi and others were very excited.

This year's draft has received a lot of attention because there are three Chinese players who are eligible for the first round.

After giving his speech on stage, Chen Jianghua came to the stage and thanked Yesi once again.

"Brother Ye, thank you!"

"Meeting Brother Ye is the greatest luck in my life!"

Very sincere, without Brother Ye, he would never be where he is now.

"Luck will not disappoint those who work hard, keep working hard in the NBA."

NBA is a big stage, no matter whether he can succeed on this big stage, being able to show his basketball skills on this big stage is the biggest dream of all basketball players.

He believes that he will continue to work hard for his dream.

Seeing Yesi's encouragement to Chen Jianghua, the rookies who wanted to have sex with Yesi looked at Yesi with such enthusiasm...

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the seventh pick, the Sacramento Kings selected the center from the University of Washington, Spencer Hawes!"

Spencer Hawes, whose draft pick was always in the top five, was finally selected by the Kings at the seventh pick, which made Spencer Hawes a little disappointed.

"Spencer, congratulations, you didn't drop to tenth."

"..."

Spencer Hawes was a little amused and in a better mood after being comforted by Curry.

"Yeah, you didn't drop to tenth."

The Warriors are a team that many players don't want to wade into, and they are cursed.

Spencer Hawes is from Seattle, not California, so he doesn't want to go to the Golden State Warriors.

Although not in the top five, fortunately the seventh pick is not low, and it also avoids the Warriors.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the eighth pick, the Milwaukee Bucks selected the guard from the Italian Roma team, Brandon Jennings!"

As the strongest high school student after James and Yes, Jennings' later development did not live up to the expectations of the American public opinion.

As a young man with high self-confidence and self-awareness, it is obvious that he is very dissatisfied with this pick and the Bucks team.

After the Bucks failed to rob the Seattle Supersonics with Thabeet, they decisively gave up Thabeet and chose Jennings.

In fact, apart from other factors, Thabeet's static talent is indeed the best among all rookies in this year, and the Bucks are still very interested.

But Jennings unexpectedly dropped to eighth place, and it would be a crime not to select him.

"Master, although Jennings didn't say anything, I can see from his eyes that he will make the entire NBA regret it."

After Curry finished speaking, Yes nodded.

He also saw it.

Let's not talk about the hard talents of this year's rookies, one after another has a bad temper.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the ninth pick, the Toronto Raptors selected DeMar DeRozan from the University of Southern California!"

After the Raptors selected DeRozan, Curry became excited again.

Because another unlucky guy in the draft today is about to be born.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the tenth pick, the Golden State Warriors selected the guard from the University of Washington, Klay Thompson."

Curry, who was originally ready to laugh at this new unlucky guy, was instantly scared when he heard that it was Klay.

After a brief pause, Klay walked to the stage with a smile.

Not the best, but also very good!

But at the same time, the Clippers' uniforms looked not so good.

Robbed by the Warriors and Jerry West!

They had expected Klay to be robbed before, so they had been trying to trade up the draft pick, but both the Kings and the Pacers refused.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the eleventh pick, the Atlanta Hawks chose Jeff Teague, a guard from Wake Forest University!"

"In the 2009 NBA draft, the first round, the twelfth pick, the Los Angeles Clippers chose Jordan Hill, an inside player from the University of Arizona!"

The Clippers who missed Klay finally chose Jordan Hill, the inside player.

"Master, do the Clippers have a hobby of collecting Jordans?"

There are indeed two Jordans.

With Jordan Hill, the crazy flow of Clippers Nick Young, Westbrook and Jordan will become even crazier.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the 13th overall pick, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Tyler Hansbrough, an insider from the University of North Carolina!"

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the 14th overall pick, the Houston Rockets selected the center from UConn, Hasim Thabeet!"

Mutombo II took over Mutombo's position after Mutombo announced his retirement.

After the Rockets drafted and all the lottery picks were used up, Jonny Flynn, Ty Lawson and Jrue Holiday, who are still sitting in the little green room, feel uncomfortable.

Ty Lawson is okay, although he has a high reputation in the American basketball world. His high school is Oak Hill High School, the No. 1 high school, and his college is almost the No. 1 university, the University of North Carolina. He is a leader on the two top teams. , data and performance are very good, but he is only 1.80 meters.

Little Midoriya didn't invite him because the NBA looked down on high school and college basketball, but even if it hired him, he wouldn't be selected in the lottery. He knew it very well.

As for height, he is shorter than Barea...

However, fortunately, Holiday felt uncomfortable for a while.

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the fifteenth overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected UCLA guard Jrue Holiday!"

After Jrue Holiday was drafted, Yease frowned.

Sure enough, picking up leaks is really not that easy.

Not only Jrue Holiday was quickly selected, but Jonny Flynn was also quickly selected by the Pistons with the 16th overall pick.

The Bulls selected Taj Gibson with the 17th overall pick.

With the 18th pick, the Magic selected small forward Zhou Peng from China.

With the 19th pick, the Wizards selected forward Ding Jinhui from China.

With the 20th overall pick from the Celtics, the Raptors selected James Johnson.

"In the 2009 NBA draft, with the 21st overall pick, the Seattle SuperSonics selected guard Ty Lawson from the University of North Carolina!"

Ty Lawson, who was sitting comfortably in the small green room and didn't know where he was going to fall, was stunned for a moment.

Supersonic?

Yes?

KD? !

Ignoring the gaze of Ty Lawson who suddenly looked over.

Choosing Ty Lawson is indeed Durant’s recommendation.

Ty Lawson and Durant are also childhood sweethearts.

"Master, can't you make me more happy? Originally, I thought Ty Lawson was the same as DeAndre Jordan last year."

Ye Si rolled his eyes at Curry. Although the Sonics didn't pick up the miss, they still picked the target they wanted to pick.

So next I can watch the show with the heartless Curry.

And after watching it for a while, the finale of the show has really started!

"In the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, with the 28th pick, the Golden State Warriors selected forward Dream Green from the University of Washington!"

Dream Green became the last member of the Washington Five to be selected.

Curry and Thompson-Spencer were relieved to see Green selected.

But soon, the three of them were confused.

"Big deal!"

"Golden State Warriors, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings big trade!"

"The Pacers sent away Curry, the Golden State Warriors sent away Griffin, the Thunder sent away Evans and David West, and the Kings sent away Spencer Hawes!"

In the small green room, Curry was stunned.

The other lottery picks laughed maniacally.

You have laughed at us for most of the day, and you are the unlucky one!

Ye Si withdrew his gaze from these young people.

With a look of confusion on his face, he even thought the transaction was fake news for the first time.

Is this Jerry West robbing the Thunder?

Why do I look like the Thunder are robbing the Warriors?

Leafs never thought Jerry West would be as vicious as Danny Ainge and Pat Riley.

but……

The Pacers gave away the garbage contracts of Curry and T.J. Ford and received All-Star power forward David West and the Thunder's 2010 first-round draft pick.

The Thunder traded away David West, Evans, a 2010 first-round pick, a 2012 first-round pick, a 2014 first-round pick, and a 2016 first-round pick to acquire Griffin. , Spencer Hawes and the Pacers’ garbage contract.

The Kings gave away Hawes and their 2010 second-round pick to get their favorite Evans.

The Warriors gave away Griffin and received Curry, as well as the Thunder's first-round draft picks in 2012, 2014, and 2016.

Looking at the contents of this transaction, why does Ye Si feel like the Thunder robbed the Warriors? !

Not to mention Yes, Griffin on the other side is confused.

Is this the robbery that I have been afraid of for months?

Could this robbery be any more brutal?

With him, the Thunder will lose West, but the Thunder's center was maxed out after Chandler left last season, okay!

Now the two unnecessary chips, David West and Evans, have been exchanged for him and the urgently needed super potential center Spencer Hawes. How can this be robbed? It's like Jerry Weiss. With the help of Grandpa Te, the Thunder completed the reconstruction directly, okay!

As for those first-round picks, whoever wants them will take them. With him, Paul and Spencer, the Thunder will dominate the NBA in the next ten years!

Those first round picks are worthless to them!

Grandpa West, can you rob the Thunder again? !

Griffin felt that although his brain was not well developed, he could still feel the breath of a living Bodhisattva from Jerry West!

Griffin now wanted to kneel down beside Jerry West's legs and hug Jerry West's thighs to beg for robbery.

And Indiana's Larry Bird was also very satisfied.

The Pacers found the most important power forward in their reconstruction. A first-round pick No. 4 was exchanged for an All-Star power forward and a first-round pick that the team urgently needed. It was great.

Doing business with Jerry West was a pleasure.

And Sacramento, the Kings' uniform group was also very satisfied. They were greedy for Evans, but it was useless to be greedy for the No. 7 pick.

Now Spencer plus a second-round pick can be exchanged for Evans. They really want to kneel down and beg Jerry West to take them to trade again.

Asking the management of other teams to take themselves to trade is also rare.

And Golden State...

"Mr. West, are we too kind?"

"We could only get Curry with that pick, but now we not only got Curry but also 3 future first-round picks, isn't that great?"

"And..."

Just when Jerry West wanted to say something, the phone in the Warriors general manager's office rang frantically.

After receiving these calls, the Warriors uniform staff was stunned.

A bunch of thanks, a bunch of requests for a belt, the Thunder King even said directly that in the future, if there is a need, just tell them directly, and not saying it is looking down on them.

"Mr. West..."

The Warriors uniform staff really had never seen such a scene after a trade.

"Some benefits are not immediate, and you may get more in the future than you get now."

Fishing in a dry pond is a taboo.

Jerry West thought of the embarrassing situation of Pat Riley and Danny Ainge and smiled and shook his head.

They are so smart, they actually understand the truth.

But people's greed can be controlled too little.

Curry, Thompson, Green...

We got everything we wanted, and that's enough.

In order to satisfy their greed, they get more redundant chips, but in the end, these so-called benefits and chips will only become a burden in the future.

The NBA has never been a one-time deal.

You have to give up, but how can you get it if you can't give up...

The 2009 draft is over.

Griffin, Evans and other lottery rookies who left, whether they got what they wanted or not, all had smiles on their faces.

Curry brought them too much happiness tonight.

And Curry was really heartbroken when he left.

"Stephen, think about it, it's really a bad choice for you to go to the Warriors alone, but it's different if we go together."

"It's different if we go together..."

Listening to Klay's comforting words, Curry smiled bitterly and nodded.

That's true.

But...

The Warriors are different from the University of Washington, which is Beasley's territory!

His style of play, tsk tsk, will he be beaten?

He will definitely be beaten, right? !

His style of play needs to be tolerated by his teammates, team and coach.

Klay and the others don't care, but he is different.

Jerry West, Beasley, Mark Jackson, will they tolerate everything he does like Master Romar?

Fortunately, Beasley is a famous saint, the second master.

I think even if they do something, they won't be too cruel...

The future is dark...

Seeing Curry's future being ruined, Yes smiled and shook his head.

Curry is so eager to go to the Knicks. In addition to the city, Curry knows very well that his style of play requires a team without foundation, which is completely based on him.

The New York Knicks is such a team.

Except for the Knicks, most teams in the league, no matter how weak, have an original core, or even more than one.

Curry doesn't want to fight with others, and of course he doesn't want to be beaten.

However...

Thinking of Jerry West bringing Green, Thompson and Curry together, Yes's eyes narrowed slightly.

Jerry West's plan is big...

Of course, Jerry West's plan has nothing to do with him now.

Now, he and the Supersonics have perfectly completed the draft task.

Ty Lawson was selected with the 21st pick in the first round.

The 51st pick in the second round was Danny Green, who is also from the University of North Carolina.

After the University of North Carolina was beaten by the University of Washington this year, the players' draft rankings plummeted.
