Chapter 425 Jimmy Jordan!

Chapter 425 Jimmy Jordan!

Five days after the Orlando Magic championship parade, New York, Madison Square Garden Theatre.

The focus and hot topics in the NBA are no longer Sun Zhuo and the Orlando Magic who just won the championship. The past has become history, and people still prefer to look forward to the future. Those that have not happened and will happen are even more exciting. .

On June 6th, the 28 draft will be held in New York's Madison Square Garden Theater. This year's draft has attracted much attention because of one person, Greg Oden!

At the scene of the draft theater, the rookies participating in the draft who are about to become NBA players have already taken their seats. There are countless spectators watching from behind, almost all seats are full, and most of them are looking at one person, that person is O. ascend.

"Greg Oden is finally coming to the NBA! I can't believe how earth-shaking changes he will bring to the NBA! The Magic has begun to build a dynasty, and Sun will soon find no opponent in the league. I am afraid that only Greg Oden can stop him in the future." him!"

"Bagnani should be thankful that if it weren't for the NBA's age limit regulations, he would never have been the No. [-] pick last year!"

"Hehe, OJ Mayo can also breathe a sigh of relief. He is currently the most powerful high school student in the United States. He has a bright future. His future achievements will be higher than LeBron's, and he can even stand shoulder to shoulder with Sun! But I'm sorry, when he met Oden, he Still have to come second!"

"Yeah, after hearing the news that Oden will participate in the draft, he can finally be sure that he will be picked first next year."

In the auditorium at the scene, everyone's discussion came from time to time, and Oden, the best candidate for the top pick, was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.

Oden has indeed become famous. When he was a sophomore in high school, he was considered to be the best choice for the No. [-] pick in any draft year. You know, only one person in history has received such praise , Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who dominated the NCAA four times!

At that time, it was not popular for high school students to participate in the draft. In the first year at UCLA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar conquered everyone and made everyone shout for the next four years. As long as he participates in the draft, he can become the No. [-] pick at any time. James has never received such a high evaluation, let alone Sun Zhuo.

Accepting the most gazes from the audience, Oden was not nervous, and sat in his seat very calmly. He was under 20 years old, and he looked as mature and stable as he was 30 years old.

At this moment, suddenly there was a black man sitting at the round table seat of Auden, which attracted Auden's attention. The black man sitting opposite Auden seemed to be about 20 years old, and he was the same as him. About the same age, of course, this black man looks younger and handsome, he can be regarded as a very temperamental black man, and at first glance, he looks a little like Michael Jordan.

After sitting down, the black man just looked at Auden without speaking, his eyes were as calm as water, and he didn't seem to be the ones who wanted to talk to him like before.

"He also looks very tall, and he probably came to participate in the draft. He has never seen it before, so he must not be an American?" Oden carefully looked at the strange black man, and felt that this man was at least 195 cm tall. And there are many rookies on the scene, from all countries. Except for his little friend Mike Conley, Oden doesn't know so many other people.

"Can you speak English? Young man, why are you sitting here? My son doesn't seem to know you, you should go back to your seat." Before Auden could speak, the mother Auden who was sitting next to him first asked the black man asked.

Oden's mother wanted to drive him away, but Oden said, "It's okay, Mom, maybe he just wants to see me win the first prize in the nearest position."

Oden's mother also laughed, is the person in front of her a competitor of Oden?Hehe, I'm really persistent. We've been competing since the draft, but our son is known as the combination of the "Four Major Centers"!

"Young man, let me introduce you, the one in front of you is my son, his name is ODEN, maybe you have heard of this name, but you probably don't understand the meaning of this name, O..." Oden's mother said lightly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the black man who sat down and remained silent suddenly spoke in fluent English: "O is for Olajuwon (Olajuwon), D is for Duncan (Duncan), E is for Ewing (Ewing) , N is O'Neal (O'Neal)."

After saying this, the black man gave Auden a faint smile. Anyone who hears the domineering name of the combination of the four major centers will feel intimidated, but when the black man looked at Auden, he didn't feel this way at all. In the meaning of ridicule.

"Haha, so you know. Son, if you want, you can continue to sit here." Oden's mother didn't say anything.

At this time, Auden felt that the black man in front of him was a bit unusual. Auden was already well-known, and no matter how strong the black man was, his ability to have such a powerful aura was already appreciated by Auden.

"Hi, my name is Greg Oden, may I know your name?" Oden offered to extend his hand.

The black man stretched out his hand a little slower than Oden thought, and said with a smile, "My name is Jimmy Jordan."

In the auditorium not too far from here, a 15-year-old boy said to himself curiously: "The person who shook hands with Greg Oden, isn't that brother who was sitting next to me just now? How did he get there?" went?"

In addition to Oden, Kevin Durant and his family also came to the scene. He is the most watched rookie besides Oden and is considered to be the next Tracy McGrady.

However, sitting in the seat, Durant's eyes were in a trance, and he always looked at an ESPN reporter holding a microphone from time to time, and when he saw the beautiful reporter, he kept swallowing.

"Christine Laidlow, she's an ESPN reporter...she's getting prettier and more feminine...the first time I met her three years ago, she was a little girl It's great, she joined ESPN, I joined the NBA, something will happen between the two of us..." Durant looked at the now 18-year-old Christian Laidlow, thinking to himself .

Laidlow looks sweet, youthful and charming, just in line with the tastes of these rookies participating in the draft, and they are about the same age as them. Even Oden and Jimmy Jordan can't help but glance at Laidlow. No longer paying attention, but Jimmy Jordan, who was cooler than him, looked at this girl twice more.

"Hey, old man, long time no see, you've gotten a lot fatter than before, haha."

Behind Oden's desk, there were two middle-aged men greeting each other. Oden also glanced at him. He recognized one of them, Dell Curry, a famous shooter in the 90s.

"It seems that his son Stephen Curry has also come to participate in this year's draft." Oden not only recognizes Dell Curry, but also knows that he has a son named Stephen Curry.

Curry is a freshman at Davidson College. In his freshman season, he averaged 23 points per game, became the best rookie and scoring leader in the SEC league, and broke the record for freshman three-pointers.

Stephen Curry is on the scene now, and he has long decided to participate in the draft this year, even though people around him are telling him not to do it, because he still looks like a high school student.

"God bless, I will definitely be able to enter my dream team, I will definitely be able to make some achievements in the NBA, I am already the same age as Greg Oden and Kevin Durant, the same age, my training is only It will be more than them, it will not be less than them, they can reach the NBA at this age, and so can I!"

Curry cheered himself up, but suddenly found a pair of eyes staring at him. Curry glanced at him and said with emotion in his heart: "This man is so handsome, he shouldn't be Oden's younger brother, right?"

Similarly, Yi Jianlian, who is highly anticipated by Chinese fans, was also present. Compared with his previous life, he received more attention, because the current NBA is ruled by a Chinese.

Soon after, David Stern stepped onto the stage and began declaring: "The Portland Trail Blazers' No. [-] pick in the first round is ... Greg Oden from Ohio State!"

There is no suspense, no one can compete with Oden for the No. The Walters even exchanged Paul Pierce, and Garnett was even on the list, but the Trail Blazers refused without even thinking about it, and said that only by taking out players like Sun Zhuo or James, they would Consider ditching Oden!

With the addition of Oden the Great in the NBA, it is believed by everyone that it directly threatens Sun Zhuo's dominance in the league. Although Oden is still young, in time, the Blazers will definitely become a strong contender for the championship under his leadership. Team!

Compared with the No. [-] pick Oden, the next No. [-] pick is not so exciting.

Kevin Durant was selected by the Seattle Supersonics with the second pick in the first round. At this time, Ray Allen was still in the Supersonics. After the Supersonics selected Durant, there were many discussions on the scene He said that the Supersonics would send Ray Allen away. When he just joined the Supersonics, he forced Ray Allen away. Durant's shocking power is also extraordinary.

The Hawks selected Al Horford with the third pick, followed by the Grizzlies with Mike Conley and the Celtics with Jeff Green.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Yi Jianlian from China with the seventh pick in the first round, which caused quite a stir on the scene.

"Another Chinese has joined the NBA! I've seen Yi's video. He is very athletic and has a great mid-range shot. His ability and skills are definitely at the NBA level!"

"Chinese people always like to be mysterious and don't show their abilities. I don't know if Yi will do the same. If Yi also has hidden abilities, then the first few teams will regret it. I think they should take a gamble. "

After that, the Bulls selected Joakim Noah with the ninth overall pick, and the Wizards selected Nick Young with the 16th overall. , There was some commotion at the scene.

"The 18th pick of the Golden State Warriors in the first round, they chose Stephen Curry from Davidson College." David Stern still read calmly on stage.

Stephen Curry hugged his parents tightly. He was really selected, and it was in the first round. Although it was not in the top few, it was enough. He went to his dream team, the Warriors, which is the most suitable his team.

Curry put on his hat and walked onto the stage, and people got worried when they saw that such a young and thin guy was selected.

"This kid doesn't look like an adult? Is he sure he's the same age as Oden?"

"Hey, don't underestimate him. He is the son of Dell Curry. He is very accurate in three-pointers. I have watched his games, but he is indeed very thin. I think he should spend two more years in college. No Need to be as anxious to enter the draft as Oden."

"I'm not optimistic that he can gain a foothold in the NBA, but the Golden State Warriors are a wonderful team, and shooting three-pointers is their specialty. From this point of view alone, it is acceptable for the Warriors to choose Curry."

Curry walked onto the stage and shook hands with David Stern. From the reaction on the scene, even from David Stern's perfunctory smile, Curry could feel that everyone didn't like him.

"Time will prove everything! Time will prove that I can also become a superstar!" Curry suppressed the sadness in his heart and forced a smile to face the camera.

Soon, it was the second round.

"Sun! Sun! Sun!"

The scene actually called "Sun" crazily. I didn't know that I thought it was Sun Zhuo, but it was not. Everyone called another Chinese player, Sun Yue.

In addition to Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue also participated in this year's draft and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 40th overall pick in the second round.

Hearing the shouts from the audience, Sun Yue was a little embarrassed, he knew that everyone was not calling him.

"Haha, another grandson came to the NBA and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers. This kind of coincidence is not often encountered."

"When I see Chinese players now, I think they are very good. Even if he is a second-round pick, I think his achievements will be very high. This Sun is taller than Eric Sun, and he is better at dribbling and jumping. God Ah, I don’t know if the Lakers have picked up another treasure.”

"I guess Kobe's mood is very tangled now. On the one hand, I hope that Sun Yue will not be too bad, but on the other hand, I don't want him to be too strong, haha."

Although Sun Zhuo was not present, it seemed that Sun Zhuo was the name that was mentioned the most.

Soon, it was the turn of the Orlando Magic to choose.

David Stern: "The Orlando Magic took...Marc Gasol with the 44th pick in the second round."

"Mark Gasol? I heard that he is the younger brother of Pau Gasol. The Magic has chosen a center. Is it going to replace Dwight Howard? I wonder if this offseason will see the news of Dwight Howard being traded. .”

Soon, the 2007 draft will end.

"You lost?" Oden suddenly asked Jimmy Jordan on the opposite side.

Throughout the game, Oden didn't hear David Stern call Jimmy Jordan's name.

"No, I didn't participate in the draft." Jimmy Jordan said lightly.

Oden questioned: "Oh? Why? You don't seem to be weak."

Jimmy Jordan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I participate, you won't be the champion."

　Every year in the finals, Hanyue will "add more guesses", and this year is the same, if you guess wrong, you will add a few more days!
