Chapter 467: Chapter 155: Shocking the Alliance, Common Enemy (5,000-word Chapter, begging for subscriptions and monthly tickets!)
The Warriors, Clippers, and Suns will officially execute this three-way trade after the free agent market opens.
A few days later.
The annual draft was held in the theater at Madison Square Garden.
Qin Yue understood the situation of this year’s draft through the news afterwards.
The Chicago Bulls, perfectly replicating history, with a 1.7% chance drew the first overall pick and without hesitation selected "The Child of the Wind City" Derrick Rose.
This is a choice that no matter how many times history repeats, if the Bulls get the first pick, it will never be unexpected.
With the fall of the old generation of Adidas flags, and the defections...
To compete against Nike, which has Qin Yue, James, and Kobe, Adidas needs a new flagbearer to contest the market more than ever.
So...
Born in Chicago, and already famous across the U.S. during his high school days, Rose thus entered Adidas’s vision and became Adidas’s designated new generation flagbearer successor.
Despite in terms of momentum...
Compared to the "Chosen One" of those years, Rose, the Child of the Wind City, is a bit lacking.
But to promote Rose, Adidas also poured a lot of effort and resources behind the scenes.
The Child of the Wind City is about to arrive in his loyal Chicago.
And next, with the second overall pick, the Bucks selected Michael Beasley, nicknamed the "American Messiah".
Standing at 206 cm with shoes, Beasley has excellent ball-handling offensive skills, can swing between the three and four positions, and has already proven himself on the college stage.
The Bucks management firmly believes that Beasley, who easily outperformed the Bucks’ backup forwards during trials, is the savior they have been waiting for.
Just, in a few months, the Bucks management may not be smiling.
Because as a notorious "drug bug"...
It is Beasley himself who ruined Beasley.
If Qin Yue remembers correctly, in his rookie season, Beasley will be penalized for multiple violations of the NBA’s "anti-drug policy" and will even be sent to rehab for mandatory detoxification.
Moreover, every time he gets penalized, Beasley claims publicly that he has reformed, yet after some time, he violates the "anti-drug policy" again, bringing great distress to his home team.
Qin Yue watched Beasley’s college game footage.
He clearly knew, whether in ball-handling coordination or body control, this technically talented forward could only be described as highly potential.
But...
No talent can withstand Beasley’s wastefulness.
After all, natural calamity can be avoided, but self-inflicted harm cannot be survived.
Next up, with the third overall pick, the Timberwolves, after selecting OJ Mayo, immediately traded with the Memphis Grizzlies, who had the fifth overall pick, selecting Kevin Love.
As in Qin Yue’s memory, the Timberwolves who lost Garnett are now incredibly eager to quickly develop a new Garnett.
And Love from UCLA was already a well-known double-double machine in his college days.
Although as a white inside player, Love’s athletic ability cannot compare to historical-level inside monsters, during trials, the Wolves were deeply moved by this fundamentally solid player who played three years in college.
And as for Mayo?
As everyone knows, ever since Jerry West personally selected Kobe for the Lakers, he has regarded Kobe as a spiritual sustenance.
Therefore...
When Mayo, whose playing style is similar to Kobe, appeared, West would not want to miss this new Kobe anyway.
This shows that even the famous West can sometimes make mistakes in judgment.
Before joining the draft, Mayo had a smooth touch and excellent skills, but in the long history of the NBA, how many Kobe successors can truly become Kobe?
Additionally, with the fourth overall pick, in a wonderful twist of fate, the New York Knicks at the same spot brought back a similar helper for their "Qin Yue II," Durant:
—Russell Westbrook.
Perhaps it was destined for Durant and Westbrook to have this brotherhood.
But compared to the Knicks in Qin Yue’s memory...
This Knicks team, who embraced tanking more resolutely, unexpectedly managed to assemble two future MVPs at this point in time...
It still greatly exceeded Qin Yue’s expectations.
However, after slightly reviewing the Knicks’ draft strategy, you will find that indeed, the Knicks need to select a point guard to support Durant at this point.
As the most outstanding defensive point guard in the NCAA arena this year, the Knicks appreciated Westbrook’s energy and believed he was the point guard version of Scottie Pippen.
So it wasn’t entirely by chance that the Knicks selected Russell Westbrook.
And with the sixth overall pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected the "Saiyan" Danilo Gallinari from Italy.
Why is Gallinari called a Saiyan?
Because in later generations...
His entire body is riddled with injuries...
Including major injuries like ACL tears are frequent occurrences for Gallinari, yet each time he returns from a major injury, his skills can visibly evolve.
This is an unconventional iron man.
He is also the best spokesperson for the classic phrase "What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger."
Additionally, in Qin Yue’s memory, the more famous rookies this year had the following draft scenarios:
Before joining the draft, with a template as a "Wade who can shoot threes," Eric Gordon was selected by the Houston Rockets through upward trade in the seventh overall pick.
