Chapter 86 The dust has settled, hello Windy City!
Su Yi couldn't help laughing after seeing Curry's resentful little eyes after being walloped by old Nelson.
When Curry stepped off the stage, he noticed that Su Yi was snickering, and he helplessly spread his hands to him.
In fact, Su Yi was not gloating, because he knew that in his previous life, after Curry went to the Warriors, he still created his own legend.
But if you go to the Knicks, what kind of achievements you can achieve is actually still unknown.
The general manager of the Suns, Steve Kerr and Curry, are extremely depressed on this day.
But as Cole said in the interview of Su Yi's previous life, if he really succeeded in cutting off Curry today, he would not be the head coach and meet Curry in the Warriors, let alone the surprise The Golden State Dynasty in time and space.
Destiny is indeed a miracle. Sometimes the things you desperately want to keep are not so important when you look back.
And those inadvertent mistakes made life more exciting.
Choice is more important than hard work, but at this intersection of fate, all ordinary people can do is hard work.
The draft continues.
"The fourth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the New York Knicks selected"
"Jordan Hill from the University of Arizona!"
Jordan Hill was very pleased to take the stage to give a speech.
Su Yi found that even though this was the home court of the Knicks, he didn't get much cheers, and there were very few applause at the scene.
Fans are still greeting Sr. Nelson and the Warriors with expletives.
This embarrasses Mr. Jordan, but keep calm
And shortly after he delivered his speech, a transaction message was announced on the big screen.
The Los Angeles Clippers sent: Su Yi (the first pick in the first round of the 2009 draft).
Chicago Bulls Send: Blake Griffin (No. 2009 pick in the first round of the [-] draft), some cash (undisclosed).
After seeing this news, he was still swearing at the draft scene, and he was blown away.
Starting with the Windy City?
The Bulls picked themselves?
The sudden change disrupted Su Yi's plan..
Recalling everything that happened in the past few days, my thoughts quickly became clear.
In order to get Su Yi, the Bulls first sent out Luol Deng, and then persuaded Sterling to exchange draft picks. They went through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties along the way, which can be described as bizarre twists and turns.
This skillful operation, coupled with the fact that he came to the team as the No. [-] pick, is obviously going to be trained as the core of the team.
Ross and Noah are also very gentle people, and they won't have too much difficulty getting along with them.
As for Chicago, it is the third largest city in the United States after all.
Except that the folk customs in Nancheng District are a little more simple, there is nothing bad about the others
In the center of Chicago, the security situation is still very good, otherwise the old hooligan would not have left his golden career in the Windy City.
After some consideration, Su Yi still readily accepted the result.
But the audience at the scene had black lines on their faces. What are these two teams doing?
It's just a simple exchange of No. [-] and No. [-], and I don't even bother to add it!
There is no other draft pick attached, it is really a pure exchange, and that part of the cash is actually to make up for the salary difference between the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick.
Basketball commentators from various media also said that they have gained more knowledge about the magic of these two teams.
Sterling was already hesitant, and the long-prepared wording on the Bulls phone completely brainwashed him.
Dunleavy has already said what he should say, and this can't persuade him no matter what.
Sterling finally made the decision to agree to the swap.
At this moment, Dunleavy's eyes darkened, knowing that a dynasty had passed him by.
I have to admire Dunleavy's foresight. After many years, the Clippers' terrible operations were written into negative textbooks by various teams, and a notorious term was formed-"Sterling swap", It is used to refer to those behaviors that are equivalent to free money on draft night.
The general managers all said that they should strengthen their study, keep pace with the times, arm themselves with knowledge weapons, and always be vigilant to become the next Sterling
After the results of the transaction were announced, Su Yi and Griffin happily exchanged hats.
The two were interviewed by reporters in the interview area together.
And the draft continues.
"With the fifth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected center Hashim Thabeet from the University of Connecticut!"
This result is not surprising, the Grizzlies want to reinforce the center position is well known.
Serbian center Darko Milicic's recent involvement in trade rumors also confirms this statement.
In this year's draft, there are no strong insiders. With Griffin taken away, the Grizzlies only have the giant Thabeet to choose from.
Another envelope was delivered.
David Stern adjusted his glasses, opened the envelope and read after a while:
"With the sixth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected shooting guard James Harden from Arizona State University!"
Harden finally waited for the news that he was selected, and walked up to the rostrum with an unrestrained smile to shake hands with David Stern.
The Thunder's defenders and centers are in urgent need of reinforcements. With Curry and Thabeet both being selected, they can only choose one between the "Spanish Golden Boy" Ricky Rubio and James Harden.
Rubio had an amazing performance in the Olympics and was considered to have the greatest room for improvement, but it involved a contract buyout dispute.
In the end, the Thunder decided to choose Harden, who was more suitable for their team system.
Old Lei Ting's eyes were still vicious.
Durant was selected with the second pick in the previous year, Westbrook was selected with the 4th overall pick in the first round last year, and Ibaka was selected with the 24th overall pick in the first round.
This year, Harden was directly selected with the 6th overall pick.
Leng found a set of "Three Young Masters of Thunder" by drawing cards.
Su Yi once wondered if the Thunder team's uniform team had turned on the perspective hook?
The seventh overall pick was the Sacramento Kings, who selected Tyreke Evans, a 1-meter guard from the University of Memphis.
The eighth pick was the Minnesota Timberwolves, who decisively chose the "golden boy" Rubio. The young Spaniard showed a bright smile under the bright spotlight.
The following draft results were basically the same as what Su Yi remembered:
The ninth overall pick was the Toronto Raptors, who selected guard DeMar DeRozan.
The tenth pick is the Milwaukee Bucks, who selected guard Brandon Jennings. Su Yi is very impressed with this player. In his previous life, this old man actually scored 55 points in his rookie season. .
The No.11 pick was the New Jersey Nets, who selected Terrence Williams.
The No. 12 pick was the Charlotte Bobcats, who selected Gerald Henderson.
The No.13 pick was the Indiana Pacers, who selected Taylor Hansbrough.
The No. 14 pick was the Phoenix Suns, who selected Earl Clark.
The first round of the draft ended smoothly, and David Stern bowed and walked off the stage.
The competition for the second-round picks, the teams are still tit-for-tat, but after all, it did not cause too much waves.
After Su Yi accepted the interview, he left the media work area, Ross and Noah were already waiting for him at the door.
