Chapter 295 The End of the First Round
Subsequently, Troy Murphy was selected by Orlando, and Steven Hunter was selected by the Charlotte Hornets.
After Michael Bradley and Jason Collison were selected by the Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets, the draft draft suddenly stopped when the Blazers were about to choose!
"This year is really amazing!" Mullin raised the coffee cup on the table with emotion, glanced at Bruce and Wilkens, and took a shallow sip!
"I hope that this year's rookies can have a few leading stars who can support the facade!" Wilkens said casually.
Bruce looked at the TV with a meaningful face, and he was full of expectations for the next draft.
When several people were talking, after a news broke out in the main venue, the fans in the venue burst into cheers!
"The Clippers traded Tyson Chandler and a bonus to the Bulls, and the Bulls paid for a very good Elton Brand and a bonus!"
Seeing the emergence of this news, the Bulls fans, who were extremely disappointed in the Bulls, cheered even more enthusiastically to send their best wishes to their favorite team.
"Has Jerry (Klaus) finally got rid of the embarrassment that no one wants to make a deal with him?" Mullin said a little bit dumbfounded.
Since Jordan left, Krause has really offended Chicago fans with a series of transactions.
Not only that, but in 99, when the "players went on a rampage", Klaus was even more embarrassing in free agents and trades with failures and no one wanted to play for the Bulls he controlled!
"Chris, people will always change!" Bruce looked at Mullin with a smile: "This summer, Jerry will definitely take out the depression that was ignored in the past two years, and remodel the team crazily!"
"Huh?" Both Wilkens and Mullin looked at Bruce unexpectedly, and it was very difficult to understand the meaning of his words!
"How can you say that?"
Bruce stood up and stretched himself, watched Stern reappeared on TV, and said casually: "Jerry is tired of gradually rebuilding, what he needs is for the team to get out of the abyss immediately, not to be rejected by the fans again and again. Question it with the boss!"
"The Portland Trail Blazers chose Zach Randolph, who is 2 meters tall, from Michigan State University!!!" Stern excitedly read out the final choice of the Portland Trail Blazers. The situation is very happy.
Bruce looked calmly at Randolph, who was about to take the stage to shake hands with Stern. He had no interest in a guy with a violent personality, and only the Blazers prison team could subdue this guy for a while. !
"The Blazers are really troubled!" Mullin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the previous reports about this luxury team!
"That's right, originally they could start the championship again, but unfortunately the player problem is still the most troublesome thing for them now!" Wilkens took the topic and said with some regret.
Since Pippen joined the Trail Blazers, although he has been positioned as the boss of the team for a period of time, with the increase of his injuries and a series of problems with his teammates, the Trail Blazers have been in the game against the Lakers. The team gradually faded away.
Coupled with the departure of Brian Grant, this makes the Blazers very much in need of a player with decent tonnage and skills to fill his position after leaving!
After the Blazers selected Zach Randolph, the Cavaliers followed closely and quickly selected Brandon Haywood from North Carolina State.
Heywood, who was just about to shake hands with Stern on stage, was suddenly signaled by a staff member holding a Magic baseball cap to put it on.
Seeing this scene happen, everyone knows that the Cavaliers have completed a deal with the Magic!
With the trade between the Cavaliers and Magic showing on the table, no one paid even a second more attention to this news!
The Cavaliers sent Haywood to the Magic for Michael Doriak. This deal is just a one-for-one deal!
After that, as the Boston Celtics, Rockets, Magic and Utah Jazz selected the players they needed in turn, the first round finally came when the Warriors chose!
"Bruce, in terms of the best remaining players, we now have three choices, small forward Gerald Wallace, center Sajuel Dalembert and guard Jamal Tinsley!! "
Hearing Mullin's words, Bruce couldn't help but have a headache.
If you follow the previous plan, choosing Dalembert is the best choice, but you already have Prizbilla, Wallace and Dampier who is about to return from injury, and then choose a center, unless you do it this summer. Make some deals, otherwise it would be a superfluous option.
Judging from the current situation of the Warriors, it seems a bit redundant to choose any player.
As time passed, Bruce finally gritted his teeth and made the final decision when the staff was about to prompt him.
"Who will the Warriors choose??"
All fans and the media are looking forward to Bruce's selection. In the previous few seasons, he fully showed his draft talent in front of everyone!
Carter and Nowitzki were selected before, and with the growth of several seasons, they have gradually grown into star-level players.
Stern walked out of the aisle slowly, looking at all the people in the venue who were looking forward to it, a smile appeared on his face.
"As a young and talented team, the Warriors have achieved great success this season with a combination of rookies and veterans."
Stern's words completely stunned everyone on the field. They have never seen Stern support a team so clearly in the draft, but now he has done it! !
"The Warriors chose to..."
Even though everyone was stunned by Stern's words, when he read who the Warriors were about to choose, a large number of fans quickly came to their senses!
"From Alabama State University, a forward with a height of 2 meters, Gerald Wallace!!!" After Stern finally called out the name, there was a sudden exclamation in the venue!
Even though Wallace did well in college, he was known as the "spring man" and other skills were going to be rough!
However, now that Bruce has chosen this player with the best physical fitness, everyone can't help but fall into doubt and confusion!
Gerald Wallace excitedly took the hat from the Warriors staff. He still felt a little dreamy about the fact that he was selected by the Warriors!
When he chose to participate in the draft, he had inexplicable expectations for the Warriors, all because of the rookies the team focused on training, which made him very much looking forward to being selected by the Warriors!
Now that his dream has finally come true, Gerald Wallace is like the No. [-] pick in this year's draft, and has attracted the attention of most people in the venue!
"Bruce, we chose a small forward, is there a trade??" Mullin asked a little puzzled!
Bruce thought for a while, then looked at the smiling Wilkens and said, "Although his position is small forward, we need him to do better!!"
Seeing that Mullin was still a little confused, Wilkens immediately explained to him carefully: "Judging from our current lineup, there is an aging problem especially at the shooting guard position!"
"Dell (Curry) and John (Starks) have reached their twilight years, and even though they are still playing well, they have to find another player who can take their place before they retire. player of."
"So, after my discussion with Bruce, if Steven Gerrard hadn't been selected before, then we would definitely choose him, and if he was selected, we would choose the best player at the moment, no matter what position he is in!"
After listening to Wilkens' explanation, Mullin finally showed a dazed expression!
Just like Wilkens' analysis, the Warriors' age configuration in other positions is very reasonable, but the shooting guard position seems to be a bit aging.
Once Carter is unable to play due to injury, even if Curry and Starks can play on top, their physical strength is a big problem.
Moreover, if they have a problem of being unable to find the touch for a long time, that will be the biggest loophole for the Warriors!
Now, after choosing Gerald Wallace, even if Bruce knows his position in the previous life, with his rookie period like a blank sheet of paper, he can use the double standards of shooting guard and small forward to make some mistakes against him. Transformation, this is his idea!
Afterwards, the Kings, 76ers and Vancouver Grizzlies chose the players they needed in turn, and then it was the turn of the last Spurs in the first round!
The Spurs have always been known for their vicious vision. Basically, they will choose the player with the best pick in the draft every year!
If it weren't for the problem of the ball market and the owner's funds, they would never have kept their eyes on the draft!
As if developing according to the script of the previous life, when Stern let out a sigh of relief and announced that the Spurs chose Tony Parker from France, no one could have predicted how powerful this fast guard would be in the future Performance!
Just when the Spurs got what they wanted and selected Parker, another transaction occurred in the venue!
The Grizzlies, who were selected by the Spurs before, after negotiations with the Pacers, they completed a small deal with the other party at the end of the first round of the draft!
The Grizzlies sent Jamal Tinsley, who had just been drafted into their hands, and the Pacers paid a next year's second-round pick and a bonus, and the two sides quickly completed an order The Grizzlies later regretted the deal!
Seeing this deal happen, Bruce couldn't help but sigh: "Is Bird finally going to change??"
"Will the previous rumors really happen?" Hearing Bruce's words, Mullin couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Why don't you let us take a look at this summer's amazing deal??" Bruce smiled playfully, and then information about this year from his previous life appeared in his memory!
"Aha, the first round is finally over!!" After thinking for a moment, Bruce stood up slowly, and stretched his stiff body vigorously. Thinking of the upcoming second round of the draft, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. look!
