Just like the NBA has gone from having three-pointers to having three-pointers, the NBA draft has also seen many interesting stories in history.

When the NBA first started, the NBA draft had special rules for local drafts, that is, a team could voluntarily give up the draft qualification before the draft and instead select a rookie in the team's location. This could attract more local fans' attention. In 1956, the Celtics used this clause to select Tom Heinthorne from Worcester City.

Since 1966, the NBA has decided to use coin investment to decide who will win the No. 1 pick in the East and West teams, and the rest of the teams will be ranked in the final draft based on the regular season results.

By 1985, the NBA carried out a historic reform of the draft system.

The previous rules were replaced by lottery. This made it possible to decide that the teams were unable to participate in the first round draft picks of the playoffs. By the second round, all teams were still arranged in reverse order of regular season records.

In October 1986, the league management reached an agreement to reduce the Lotto's original function of positioning the top seven picks to the top three. Except for the top three signs randomly selected by table tennis, all other signs are arranged in reverse order of the regular season record. In this way, the bottom of the regular season can also be ranked fourth, the second-to-last worst, and the rest are the same.

As we all know, the top 14 picks in the first round are called the lottery zone, and rookies in the lottery zone often get better opportunities and attention than rookies in the same period. Therefore, when the NCAA was fighting, many players were proud to be rated as rookies in the lottery zone by draft websites.

As mentioned before, 2009 was a very strange session.

Before the draft began, scouts pessimistically believed that this rookie would be even worse than in 2000. The 2000 NBA draft was notoriously bad. Except for Kenyon Martin, Tkoglu and Mike Miller, most of the players of that rookie were soon forgotten in the future.

So many interesting things happened before the 2009 NBA Draft began. The Clippers, who held the No. 1 pick, found that no one wanted their No. 1 pick, and some teams even thought that this No. 1 pick was not worth exchanging with some of their high-quality middle-class players...

Ignorance and weakness are not the key points that hinder human survival, arrogance is.

It is precisely because of the arrogance of the scouts that the rookies in 2009 were seriously underestimated.

Facts proved that after Blake Griffin came back from a year of rest and played 20+10, he soon regretted the teams who were unwilling to exchange for the Clippers' No. 1 pick. In addition, the rookies in 2009 were more powerful than the other, and people could only ruthlessly complain that there was really a problem with the scout level of that class.

After Javier Stanford reported on Lin Yi's latest situation, ESPN Draft and Draft website updated Lin Yi's expected draft situation to the lottery zone.

He is expected to be selected in the 13th place in the first round.

Stephen Curry's draft market has also risen sharply, and he has now reached the top five.

In fact, Stephen Curry's draft in 2009 was spread by too many basketball fans. Some people say why Curry was selected only in seventh place?

First of all, what you need to understand is that the seventh place is already a very high pick, is the seventh place very low? Isn’t Kobe Bryant only ranked 13th? Isn’t Mitchell, the future Salt Lake City boy, also ranked 13th?

It was not just Curry who was underestimated in 2009, but this entire rookie.

Secondly, Curry wanted to go to New York from the beginning, so he flatly refused the trial between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Timberwolves. Because Curry's previous scout report was not very good and he was unwilling to go to the trial, the teams before the Warriors and the Knicks did not dare to choose Curry at all. Who would be willing to waste a valuable draft pick to make a gamble?

Regarding this, the Grizzlies manager explained before the 2009 draft that if Curry was willing to come for a tryout, they would definitely be willing to sign Curry with the second pick.

But Curry, who was in love with New York, never expected that there was a lunatic in the Golden State Warriors, that was Old Nelson.

Old Nelson likes Curry so much.

And he likes Curry's shooting.

How did the Golden State Warriors kill the Mavericks?

When the three-pointer was still in the development stage, the group of lunatics in Golden State used their fast three-pointers to directly make the Mavericks' mentality collapse.

Three-pointers are the most important weapon in the future.

So old Nelson intercepted Stephen Curry. Curry was confused and unwilling when he was selected by the Warriors. Later, he was very happy when he heard that the Suns were about to send Stoudemire to a big deal with the Warriors, because the Suns were a running team and had his Uncle Nash.

However, Old Nelson directly threatened the management to give up the deal with his resignation...

So the story of Curry falling to the seventh place in 2009 is not as mysterious as the rumors. It is just a simple story of being intercepted by the warriors.

In dormitory 4001, Stephen Curry and Lin Yi both became fools.

"Listen, buddy! Now we are going to the NBA together, we are all lottery!" Stephen Curry said happily.

"Oh no, you are the top five, the noble top five, Lord Stephen Curry." Lin Yi complained.

"Oh, Lin, you have to work hard, and your ranking will definitely be even higher," said Stephen Curry.

It's great, I'm right to stay for a year. First I met Lin, and then Lin suddenly grew taller and became my best helper. It's incredible...

Thanks to the omnipotent God, the poor and unlucky little Stephen finally began to embark on the peak of his life.

Lin Yi suddenly reminded Curry, "Stephen, the Knicks' record has been quite good recently. Are you sure they can finally get the top five signing?"

Stephen Curry knew what Lin Yi meant, "Oh no, believe me, the Knicks will definitely win the top five signing."

Lin Yi waved his hand, "I think the Golden State Warriors are likely to lose all the way."

"Oh no!" Curry obviously didn't dare to think about the fact that he was selected by another team.

History and your own impression have changed. Take the NBA this season for example. Many teams that should have had poor results are not as bad as they remember. On the contrary, some teams that should have good results are now very poor.

Is this the legendary butterfly effect?

Will the Clippers still get the No. 1 pick? Will the Golden State Warriors intercept Curry again?

Everything has become subtle.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about what to do if history changed, his cell phone rang.

"Listen, Lin, you've read the report, right? Isn't it cool? Oh yes, let me tell you a cool news. The Oklahoma City Thunder has sent their own scouts, and they will pay attention to you throughout the next game. Presti is my college classmate, he is very interested in you, and he said he is even willing to sign you with the No. 1 pick." The person talking on the other side of the phone was Javier Stanford.

Thunder?

The plot is a little wrong!

However, Lin Yi quickly reacted. After having Durant and Westbrook, Presti had always wanted a big man, but there was really no big man among the rookies in 2009. After Griffin was selected, only Tabit was left. Presti knew very well that that guy was a parallel guy, so he had no choice but to sign James Harden with the third pick.

This is why Presti chose Ibaka when choosing between Ibaka and Harden in the future, because Presti knew that a team's ball rights were limited, and that big men were very important to any team.

After discovering Lin Yi, Presti liked Lin Yi's style too much.

He can shoot.

There are defenders' movement speed and horizontal movement.

His dribbling skills are even better than some NBA marginal guards.

His lateral movement determines his defensive potential because of his terrible height and wingspan.

Think about it, Kevin Durant and Lin Yi are both misplaced, plus Westbrook's impulse! How beautiful the picture is!

Presti has always been very accurate in looking at people.

He chose Westbrook last year because of controversy.

Because Westbrook High School, his freshman physical talent is not as exciting as he has entered the NBA. Moreover, in the NCAA, Westbrook is a double-guard defensive player and is Darren Collison's substitute. In addition, many people think he does not have excellent ball control skills.

Are you surprised?

Am I surprised?

This is indeed the reality.

If it weren't for Presti's accurate judgment, Westbrook's real pick should be between eighth and tenth in the first round.

Just like choosing Westbrook, Presti won't care about other people's eyes. He hopes that Lin Yi's lower ranking, the better, because then Thunder can easily choose him.

A bunch of idiots, who stipulates that the inside line must go to the inside line?

Lin Yi felt a little excited, because being able to impress Presti means that his efforts and talent have been recognized.

Since 2007, the NBA has three major cheating things.

The first is that the crazy scientist, Old Nelson, intercepted the Knicks and chose Stephen Curry. Old Nelson is the second person to think Stephen Curry will become the head coach of the All-Star. Yes, even if Curry plays a good finish in the end, his father Dell Curry will at most think that his son will become the next one...

As it turns out, Old Nelson's choice lays the foundation for the future Warrior dynasty.

The second is Presti's draft. Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and the Thunder three young masters will all play NBA-level potential in the future. By the way, Presti also chose Adams, Ibaka, and Collison, among other elites. In that era, there were three legends: Thunder rookies, Rockets old players, and Suns Doctor.

The third is the story of Jerry West. Lin Yi thinks Jerry West must be a time traveler.

As soon as he arrived at the Warriors, the LOGO man found a treasure for the Warriors in the draft. Jerry West first predicted that Kray Thompson would be ten thousand times better than Frederth, the best shooter of the same class at the time.

Secondly, the first thing that the LOGO man takes office as a Warrior is to let Monta Ellis go as far as possible. Ellis had asked the club management to send Curry away many times, because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Then Jerry West flatly rejected all the deals about Kray Thompson, and then straightened the second round rookie Green, and the deal came to Iguodala. Oh yes, the reason why Jerry West traded Iguodala is very simple. We need someone to deal with LeBron in the finals.

At that time, the Warriors' senior executives were all very thundered. In the finals? Sorry, the Warriors' senior executives before the 14/15 season thought it would be great if the Warriors could play in the playoffs one after another.

Well, in the end, when Steve Cole decided to leave the Suns' management, he invited Cole to the Warriors as the head coach. Cole had no coaching experience at that time.

The LOGO man’s words to impress Cole are very simple, you are our champion puzzle.

Starting from the November 12 season, only the LOGO man can firmly believe that the Warriors will definitely win the championship. In addition, after the Warriors changed their boss, the generous boss did not care about luxury tax.

Then a story happened that fans knew.

Steve Cole told Stephen Curry that your shooting range is so long and so accurate, why not shoot?

So the NBA has completely entered the era of being the outside and crying inside.

The above content is excerpted from "NBA Metaphysics Theory", on which Zidane won three consecutive Champions League titles or LOGO men is more metaphysical?

I can't afford to offend me, but even the masters of metaphysics can't afford to offend me...

So Lin Yi was very happy to be noticed by Presti.

Lin Yi told Curry the first time he opened his mouth, "But Lin, Oklahoma is just a small city..."

Lin Yi smiled helplessly, and Curry really had a special liking for New York.
