Done!

Done!

China’s second NBA No. 1 pick!

Seven years after Yao Ming was elected as the NBA No. 1 pick in 2002, the Chinese basketball world finally welcomed a new No. 1 pick!

All fans in the Sina live broadcast room immediately sent celebratory messages: Congratulations to Lin Ri for becoming the number one pick!

Soon, similar messages began to scroll on the discussion board.

The speed at which this message scrolls is enough to show the large number of fans watching this live broadcast, and also how excited the Chinese fans are at this moment!

All the cameras at the scene were also given to Lin Ri for the first time.

At this moment, he is the center of the NBA's attention!

Everyone, including the fans, the general managers of the teams in the back row, and the other 2009 rookies sitting around, all looked at Lin Ri at this moment.

There is a regret that I couldn’t ask for!

There is also envy that is desired but out of reach!

Of course, there's also Steve Kerr's relief watching Lin Ri finally put on a Suns cap.

I finally got this guy!

However, if you look carefully, Steve Kerr's whole body is still tense at this moment, as if there is still something unfinished...

Lin Ri took the Suns cap handed to him by the staff next to him, and walked toward the stage with a smile amid the constant flashes of the camera nearby.

There Stern was waiting for him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, the sun, I hope you can become a symbol of Chinese basketball like Yao." David Stern stretched out his hand.

"This is my goal. Thank you for your words, Mr. President!" Lin Ri then extended his hand, followed David Stern and looked at the camera, taking a group photo.

This is destined to be a classic photo for the Chinese basketball world.

When recalling the Chinese people in the early days of the NBA n years later, Yao Ming will be remembered by fans as the first Chinese NBA No. 1 pick, and Lin Ri, as the second Chinese NBA No. 1 pick, will certainly be discussed by fans.

At the same time, he is also the first Chinese player to enter the league through the NCAA.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a kind of pioneering!

Because this gives Chinese players more choices, it is no longer just a path to institutional basketball...

If Lin Ri could look back at his choice, he would be glad that he took the NCAA path. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for him to participate in the draft at the age of 19.

It is even more impossible for the market to be so good!

"call!"

"I can finally relax."

Lin Ri returned to his seat, and Chris looked relieved... The cooked duck finally went into his mouth.

Lin Ri rolled his eyes at him, then looked at James Harden next to him. Originally, he wanted to show off, but seeing James Harden's nervous look, his words changed again: "Relax, James.

, you have to believe that nothing will happen to you, it will be your turn soon!"

James Harden nodded stiffly. Only then did he understand why his mother didn't come to see the results. This was indeed a bit nervous!

"With the second overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected...Blake Griffin, a sophomore from the University of Oklahoma."

Then came the second pick, and the Clippers selected Blake Griffin.

The Clippers' choice is the same as the Suns' choice of Lin Ri. It is not a surprising choice. After all, Blake Griffin is indeed the guy who performed best in the joint trials. When it comes to talent, Blake

Griffin is indeed the most talented guy in the 2009 class besides Lin Ri.

The Clippers have no reason not to select him.

However, Griffin, wearing a Clippers cap, didn't look so happy.

Lin Ri was elected as the No. 1 pick, and this time he was beaten again. This made him think "I must give Lin Ri some trouble at the beginning of the new season."

There is no thought at all that I am happy about being ranked second.

Then came the third overall pick in the first round.

"The Memphis Grizzlies selected... Ricky Rubio, a Spanish player."

Um?

ah?

this……

Not only did the fans watching this game not expect it, but there was also a lot of confusion at the scene.

Obviously, the Grizzlies' selection of Ricky Rubio was something that no one expected.

Since Ricky Rubio still has two years of contract with the Spanish League that has not been fulfilled, and he himself has no intention of playing in the NBA, the "golden boy" Rubio's draft price has dropped from the top 3 before the draft.

In the opinion of most experts, no team will choose Ricky Rubio among the top three picks this year!

Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies unexpectedly selected him with this pick.

Chris Wallace felt the doubtful glances from his colleagues next to him, and a wry smile flashed in his eyes unconsciously.

There was no way, Lin Ri and Griffin had already been selected, and Hasheem Thabeet exposed a huge problem after the NCAA game with Lin Ri. This problem prevented him from being the third pick in the first round.

Select this guy.

But except for Thabeet, there were basically no players to choose from in the inside market in 2009, so Chris Wallace and the Grizzlies team turned their attention to the outside.

At this time Ricky Rubio appeared in their sights.

Mike Conley, whom they drafted in 2007, only averaged 10.9 points and 4.3 assists per game last season. Compared with the 9.4 points and 4.2 assists in his rookie season, there was almost no significant increase.

This may be a "waste number"...

Considering this possibility, the Grizzlies finally took the "golden boy" Rubio with the third pick.

Anyway, the latter will not come to the NBA for the time being, and is just training in the Spanish League. If Mike Conley becomes a "waste number", they will not have no backup candidate at the first position. And if Mike Conley becomes a late bloomer, then in the Spanish League

After training, Rubio can also strengthen the Grizzlies' perimeter lineup.

As for the insiders who have always had problems, well, I heard that there will be a lot of inside talents in next year's draft...

"Gulu~"

James Harden swallowed unconsciously when David Stern announced the fourth pick in the next first round. He was obviously more nervous than before.

It seems like the Thunder are committed!

Lin Ri looked at him and could more or less guess the reason.

If you go to the Thunder...

The Thunder currently only have Russell Westbrook on the outside. Although Kevin Durant at power forward also needs the ball, overall, there is still a living environment, and a bad team also has a lot of room for development for newcomers.

, if James is really chosen, it will be a good choice for him...

At least among the remaining top seven teams, the New York Knicks currently do not have a core of new players. In fact, other teams, like wherever they go, have to rely on themselves to fight for opportunities.

"With the fourth overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected...James Harden, a sophomore from Arizona State University!"

In Lin Ri's random thoughts, David Stern announced the Thunder's final choice. No surprise, it was James Harden.

Harden also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, took over the Thunder's team cap, hugged Lin Ri, and then walked towards David Stern with a blank expression.

"Okay, very good, a No. 1 pick, and a No. 4 pick in the first round, very good!" Sandeck, who was far away at Arizona State University, saw James Harden on the stage and showed a satisfied smile.

In his opinion, the rankings of his two disciples are very ideal!

What about Jeff?

"It would be great if Jeff could be drafted in the first round..." Sandeck has one last guy left to worry about.

He wants all three guys to have the best start they can.

Of course, if the three of them can really be selected in the first round together, then Arizona State University's recruiting this summer will undoubtedly be much easier... This is a certain thing.

"With the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks selected... Tyreke Evans, a freshman from the University of Memphis!"

The New York Knicks, who had the fifth pick in the first round, ultimately selected Tyreke Evans.

Donnie Walsh was quite surprised to be able to select this talented rookie with a fierce playing style. He originally thought that after the top four selections, he would only be able to retain James Harden at most, but this guy's temperament is not the same as that of the New York Knicks.

There was no match, so Donnie Walsh's original choice was Stephen Curry.

Unexpectedly!

Evans was actually left behind!

Ha ha ha ha……

That’s just right, God help me!

The sluggish Knicks market welcomes such a newcomer with a strong playing style, and revitalization is just around the corner!

This is the best arrangement!
