Harden and Curry were both rookies in 2009 and were selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the third pick in the first round.

According to Huaguo, Harden was the Tanhua Show back then.

In the years with the Thunder, Harden followed Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka, and appeared as the sixth man, and grew up quickly.

Throughout the 2011-2012 season, Harden averaged 16.8 points and 3.7 assists per game in the regular season, and was elected the sixth man of the season on May 11.

However, in the next finals, Harden's performance against the Heat's Big Three was awkward, which also led to the Thunder losing the championship with a 1:4 score.

Not only was the fans very disappointed with Harden's performance, but he felt that he did not help Durant and Westbrook, but the team also showed hesitation about renewing Harden's contract.

It is said that the two sides are negotiating the amount of the contract renewal. Harden hopes to get a four-year contract worth 58 million, while the Thunder only wants to give 52 million in four years.

The Rockets proposed to trade Harden with two first-round picks and one role player. The Thunder was quite tempted, but the team leader Durant hoped that the team would keep Harden. After repeated negotiations, the two sides still did not reach a deal.

The Rockets failed to replace the draft pick with potential superstars before draft day, and finally they could only settle for the second best, using the No. 14 draft pick in the Lotto area to exchange the Dallas Mavericks for the first round and second in 2013.

The 33rd and 34th picks were ranked two in the round.

This deal once again aroused dissatisfaction among Rockets fans.

Are you crazy?

The lottery pick that I finally got was a lottery pick. It would be fine if I could get a potential star or a package of other assets to exchange for an All-Star. I would actually go to exchange for the Mavericks who are still ranked next year and two second rounds.

?

This is equivalent to using high-quality assets to exchange for a blind box and two junks!

Hao Ming, Hao Ming, are you an undercover agent?

Hao Ming is a little unfair, and I don’t want to do it either. This is what the boss means!

Isn’t this the case when being a manager? The lower level has to bear the anger of the fans, and the higher level has to meet the boss’s requirements. It’s too hot.

Little did Li Rui think that Hao Ming was honest and popular, so he chose him as the manager...

Li Rui and Hao Ming opened a video, receiving on-site information while communicating decisions at any time.

The scene has been arranged, and Adam Xiaohua, who was hosting the draft, walked onto the stage with an envelope containing the choice of the New Orleans Hornets.

Off the stage, the rookies invited to enter the Little Green House were a little nervous. They were all very promising new stars of the year and were likely to be selected in the top fourteen, so they were invited by the NBA to watch the scene with their families and friends.

.

The camera has always been wandering around Anthony Davis. This year is a young year of drafts. There are not many rookies with top talents. Anthony Davis is one of the best. His athletic ability and

His dominance is amazing, and the only thing that is worrying is his slightly fragile injury constitution.

Even with the potential for injury, no one doubts that Anthony Davis can become the No. 1 pick.

Just like Emperor Oden a few years ago, since you have the opportunity, you must bet. If you lose the bet, you will become a laughing stock. If you win, you can win the future for many years!

Xiao Hua opened the envelope, smiled as if so, and then announced: "The New Orleans Hornets chose...Anthony Davis from the University of Kentucky!"

As expected.

The audience burst into applause, and everyone looked at Anthony Davis with envious eyes.

After Anthony Davis hugged his family, he walked onto the stage with tears in his eyes, took the New Orleans Hornets' hat and put it on his head, and then shook hands with Xiao Hua and hugged him to take a photo.

This choice was not unexpected, and both Li Rui and Hao Ming's reactions were very dull.

They have made decisions long ago, and unless there is any sudden change in the previous selection, they will proceed step by step.

The choices of the next few teams are not surprising either.

The second-place Bobcats chose Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

The third Wizards chose Bradley Bill.

After hearing the Wizards' choice, Li Rui and Hao Ming crossed Bill's name out of the shortlist.

According to the original plan, if Bill can fall to fifth place, the Rockets will choose Bill without hesitation, but the Wizards did not give them a chance.

Li Rui was not very disappointed, and it didn't matter if he couldn't choose Bill. As long as the fourth-place Cavaliers don't act weird, the Rockets will choose one in the fifth place, although they are point guards, but their scoring ability is far better than that of Bills.

Historical level scorer!

The Cavaliers did not disrupt the situation. They already had the No. 1 pick last year. Kyrie Irving, the top NBA ball-handling master, will certainly not waste the precious fourth draft pick on the point guard.

Syracuse defender Dion Waites was selected.

Next, it's the Rockets' turn.

The Rockets have two draft picks from the Kings and sixth picks from the Nets. Everyone's eyes are focused on the Rockets, wanting to see if they will use these two precious draft picks.

Which rookie?

At this time, at the domestic V Blog, many fans gathered under the topic #2012 NBA Draft# and spoke freely.

[Lei Hu, who loves to eat mung bean paste bread]: I guess the Rockets will choose Lillard. The Rockets lack a point guard, and Lillard is the best point guard among all the remaining rookies.

[Kawa Zhou]: The Rockets should choose a big guy, but I think Andre Drummond is good.

[Dragon and Phoenix Dance]: Thomas Johnson is also very strong, and he feels more flexible than Drummond!

[Ying Hui, who loves to eat soybean fried pork slices]: The Rockets have two consecutive draft picks, one must belong to Lillard, and the other should choose one between Drummond and Toyo.

I have to say that although Huaguo’s basketball level is quite average, Huaguo’s fans’ football review level is definitely the world’s first-class.

Xiao Hua took two envelopes to the stage and announced the choices of the fifth and sixth rankings together.

"The Houston Rockets chose Damien Lillard, point guard from Weber State, with the fifth pick! Harrison Barnes from the University of North Carolina, with the sixth pick!

”

The former is a super killer, a professional player who wears watches, a big NBA 75 star, and a 71-pointer.

The latter... Harrison Barnes is also a good player. His biggest impression on Li Rui in the NBA was the puzzle of winning the championship in the Warriors' dynasty in the first championship, and his 1:3 Jedi by the Cavaliers in the 2016 Finals

The three-pointer in the process of the big comeback...
