Chapter 421 The 2005 NBA Draft (continue to 8K for the moon)(2/4)
Sun Hao continued to laugh.
As long as he is not embarrassed, the embarrassing will be others.
"Do you want to partner with Chris Paul or Deron Williams?"
After laughing, Sun Hao changed the subject.
He had asked Yi Jianlian about this question before, but the current situation has changed from the beginning.
At that time, the NCAA had just ended, and there was still little information about rookies.
However, after the trial training, many agents will also explore and promote some gimmick stories about rookies. Popular rookies such as Paul and Deron are already relatively transparent.
Moreover, this time node is not as fast as when Sun Hao first joined the alliance. The network has developed very rapidly, especially in North America, where Facebook has it, so the spread of this information is naturally faster.
"Chris Paul."
Yi Jianlian also gave a positive answer this time.
"I heard Cameron talk about him, saying he is a very leadership guard."
Yi Jianlian then gave an explanation.
Sun Hao nodded when he heard this.
Yi Jianlian is now in the 2003 generation. After his personality changes, he has a good relationship with several people from the 2003 generation.
This can be seen from the exchanges between them during the previous All-Star Games.
Some people would say that the relationship is so good. Why did James invite Yi Jianlian to train together?
Because Yi Jianlian is preparing for the Asian Championships!
Moreover, Yi Jianlian said that Anthony is the first generation of 2003 and is in the east, so it is normal for them to communicate more.
In addition, Paul also went to James' training camp with Duncan's recommendation, so it is reasonable for Yi Jianlian to have such an answer.
This is similar to what Sun Hao expected.
First, Paul's career was longer than Deron;
Second, Paul's personality is more suitable for Yi Jianlian than Deron;
Third, Delon's success has a lot to do with Sloan, but Paul has his own coaching attributes;
Of course there are four more. Paul's own air-receiver brigade attributes are also very consistent with Yi Jianlian's ability to run and jump.
Then the question now is whether the Bulls can choose Paul.
"By the way, didn't Xiao Zhu come with you?"
After talking about Yi Jianlian's partner, Sun Hao asked Zhu Fangyu by the way.
Zhu Fangyu attracted some attention last year, but there was no team trying him out at that time, and he did not sign up in advance.
But this year, Zhu Fangyu has reached the age of voluntary election.
“He said he didn’t want to be sad.”
When Sun Hao heard Yi Jianlian's answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Fangyu's words are so cute.
But it is true that no team looks for him to try out this year. If you want to see if you lose the election on the spot, you will be a little sad.
That night, the 2005 NBA Draft was held in Madison Square Garden, New York.
The scene was still full, but what was a little different from previous years is that the number of fans who came to New York this year may be the fewest in history.
Don't ask why, it's just that last season's suffocation operation not only prevented the Knicks from making the playoffs, but also gave the draft pick to their former archenemy Chicago.
With this operation, New York fans have the heart to kill "smiling assassin" Isaiah Thomas.
If Thomas hadn't resigned quickly at the end of the season, he might have had personal safety issues.
But this is the result. The most popular ones on site were Bobcat fans.
The first No. 1 pick in the team history! What an exciting moment!
Although this team has only been in two years...
Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian also arrived at the scene, but he did not go to the audience first, but went to the Lakers' draft office first.
What he advised Jordan was already told last year after Jordan got drunk.
Kupchek and Buss Jr. are already dependent on Sun Hao, and with the champion last year, they value Sun Hao's suggestions more.
Of course, there is also the "Emperor's Wrath" radiates the light of the right way.
So at an important moment like the draft, they pulled Sun Hao to the draft cabin and operated completely normally.
"Is there anyone who is recommended for the second round pick?"
Little Buss asked very directly.
And there is nothing wrong with his question.
The Lakers' first round pick has been traded to the Mavericks.
Now they only hold their own No. 60 sign, which is basically just air.
The only way they want to have operations in the draft is to exchange for other people's draft picks through future draft picks and cash.
This kind of trade is difficult to get the first round, but the second round is relatively easy.
When Buss said that, his assistant had already handed Sun Hao the list of this year's draft.
Sun Hao looked through it and found that many of the names above also awakened the memories deep in his mind.
He didn't pay attention to it before, but only then did he realize that this year's talent show is the Taobao New Year!
These names are second-round picks in history: Monta Ellis, Louis Williams, Brandon Bass, CJ Myers, Eisen Iliasova, Andre Brache, Ryan Gomez, Massin Gott, Vaughan Weaver, Ronnie Turiav...
Among these people, there are All-Stars, Main Positions and Substitutes. The common point is that they have played their own place in the NBA as second round picks.
Sun Hao's eyes finally swept back and forth between Brache and Williams.
Among this group of people, Ellis is the strongest at the peak, but to be honest, his playing style is a bit irritating, and his career efficiency has always been not very good.
Moreover, in the years he was at the top of the Warriors, the Warriors never made it to the playoffs.
If the Lakers want to choose a defender, they either choose a strong defense and can start with Sun Hao, or they are the sixth man.
Then Williams would obviously be the better choice.
But he had heard rumors before that Gary Payton performed well in the Lakers' trial, and the Lakers might sign him.
Then choosing Williams is for training.
Considering that Malone retires, the Lakers power forward will lack players, Brache is a more suitable candidate.
Brache is a player Sun Hao, who can be said to be quite familiar with it.
Because of Yi Jianlian, the Wizards also have some fame in China, Brache, who later played for the Wizards, was also known.
After that, Brache couldn't make it in the NBA and went to the CBA, even if he was a household name.
Of course, his fame is not too good, he has a weird personality, a bad temper, and loves singles.
However, Brache was a qualified starter in the NBA. Although his defense was average, his offense was relatively comprehensive, both singles and mid-range. At his peak, he averaged 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game with the Wizards.
More importantly, Brache is the rare type who can play the sixth player in the inside.
To some extent, the Sixth Man is the most suitable person for him.
In the two seasons he left the NBA, he averaged about 20 minutes per game as the sixth man, contributed about 11 points, and shot 50%, which was the most efficient season in his career.
"If you can score points, you can get more points, just look at defense." This is basically the qualities that the sixth person needs.
However, Sun Hao didn't decide which one in the end, because there was a free agent market behind him, so he didn't know if Kupchek was talking to others.
Because O'Neal's contract expires this summer, the Lakers can renew their contract with a hat.
This means that as long as the team is willing to pay luxury tax, players of tens of millions of dollars can also sign.
If you really sign a strong player, Brache wouldn't be so good.
So what he finally advised Buss Jr. was to choose Williams or Brache, and you should decide who you choose in the end.
Bass glanced at Kupchek, and Kupchek nodded.
He is following up with both players, especially Williams, who has trained with Sun Hao before, and they are more fond of them.
Sun Hao didn't care about these details either. He gave him the advice he should give. Who can choose depends on Kupchek's operation.
After coming out of the talent show hut, he then went to the audience to sit with Yi Jianlian.
But before his butt was hot, James led Paul to say hello to him.
Ask James why he appeared in the draft?
On the one hand, Paul ran for election, and on the other hand, the "Emperor's Wrath" is not only Sun Hao.
"This is my new brother Chris."
