Chapter 180 Choose Nash
After the Philadelphia 76ers chose defender Iverson, they were restless for a long time.
The next second and third picks are the Raptors and Grizzlies who are new to the league.
There is nothing to be polite to these two teams. The Raptors directly chose Camby, while the Grizzlies chose Rahim.
These two are hailed as the two big players with the best prospects in the 1996 draft, so they naturally cannot miss these two teams of brothers and sisters.
In addition to the special situation where the Philadelphia 76ers chose Iverson, this draft is still in accordance with the rules of the election.
In the next fourth pick, the Bucks chose Georgia Tech's Stephen Marbury.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who ranked fifth, chose Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut.
Davidson heard his father say two days ago that the two teams are preparing to exchange draft picks.
It seems that nothing unexpected happens, the two teams will announce the swap between Marbury and Ray Allen after the draft ends.
In the next sixth pick, the Boston Celtics chose Antoine Walker.
This forward player produced by the University of Kentucky is quite interesting, claiming to be a mini version of the bus...
The main reason is that this guy has a good shooting ability, and his main offensive methods are similar to those of the bus. He is completely an outside style striker.
As for whether Walker can hit the bus level, no one is optimistic about it.
Draft templates are completely fooling people, and few media really predict the templates for rookies.
The Clippers, who ranked seventh, chose the blue-collar big man Lorenzen White.
This player's career is not very impressive, but many fans have heard of this name.
He was murdered in the first year of retirement, and eight years later the suspect was arrested, and it turned out to be his ex-wife...
This tells us the truth: no matter who you provoke, don’t provoke your wife, the ending is really miserable.
...
Davidson listened carefully to the next few picks, and there was no Nash's name in it, which made Davidson breathe a sigh of relief.
It would be good that Nash was not chosen to leave. If nothing unexpected happens, Nash will be his own possession.
"I announce that the Charlotte Hornets chose Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick in the first round." Stern read out the candidate for the 13th pick.
Davidson breathed a sigh of relief, and he was stable, Nash was his own!
Davidson had some impression of Kobe who was chosen by the Hornets. The information given by the scout before included information about such a high school player, but Davidson didn't care much.
In his opinion, this is a hairy child with no hair, and he hasn't even reached the age of eighteen...
Kobe was selected and immediately set a record, the youngest player to be selected in NBA history.
As soon as the Hornets were selected, Davidson handed over a note to the Suns.
"I announce that the Phoenix Suns chose Steve Nash from Santa Clara University with the 14th pick in the first round."
At this moment, Nash, who was sitting in the small green house, heard his name and breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
His invitation to the Green House means that he has a great chance to be selected by the Lotto Show, which is the top 13 picks.
As a result, the first thirteen picks were selected, and the last one was Kobe, a high school student who was also inconspicuous in the Green House like him.
Nash was very worried that his ranking would decline infinitely, such as falling to the outside of the 20th pick!
This is not completely impossible, it has never happened in history.
But after the fourteenth pick Suns selected him, Nash relaxed. Although it was not a lottery show, there was no difference.
The only thing that made him wonder was that the Suns had Kevin Johnson, a Hall of Fame-level point guard, why did he choose himself?
Are you destined to play a substitute for Kevin Johnson in the next two years?
Thinking of this, Nash couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. No rookie wanted to start his career as a substitute.
If you play as a substitute, the risk is too great. The chance of being eliminated by the league is much higher than those who play as soon as you come up.
Nash certainly doesn't want to go to the Suns, and definitely doesn't want to play a substitute for superstars like Kevin Johnson, because it means it's hard to have a chance to make a comeback.
But now that the sun has chosen him, he has no choice but to sigh secretly.
...
Dad laughed at Davidson. He knew very well that Davidson valued Nash. Now he got Nash as he wished, and Dad was very happy for Davidson from the bottom of his heart.
"Wilson, this Nash is strong?"
"As far as I know, it doesn't seem to be suitable for your Kings team's lineup, right?" Tang Shuai naturally knew that Nash was chosen by the Suns for the Kings, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"It's very strong, so strong that I don't even change the No. 1 pick." Davidson was in a good mood and said with a smile at Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai looked curious, he couldn't understand where Davidson came from.
Nash is not like a bus. The bus was selected by Davidson. Countless people feel that this is the reason why Davidson called a bad message.
They didn't know there was a player like the bus. If they knew, they would also choose the bus...
Anyway, it’s not a pity to choose a second round pick and waste it.
But now everyone knows Nash quite well. If it is so easy to use, it will not fall outside the lottery show.
...
After taking Nash, Davidson completely relaxed. The next king would help the Suns choose people, and there was nothing else to do.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who holds the 17th pick, also chose a high school player, who is even younger than Kobe, and is named Jermaine O'Neal.
I have to say that the adventurous spirit of these teams is quite commendable. No other team dares to choose, so they chose without saying a word.
Kobe and Jermaine can run for the election, but we should actually thank Garnett. If Garnett is not a rule breaker, they will definitely not be qualified to participate in the draft this year.
Kobe's family is of the middle class and must have nothing to do with poor high school students.
Jermaine said that the family environment was not very good. Like many black people in the lower class, she didn't know where his biological father was when she was a child.
However, Jermaine's mother worked hard enough and worked two jobs by herself, so her life was still acceptable, not as poor as she could not get out of the way.
...
Drafts one after another, and the several hours of draft time made Davidson feel uncomfortable, which was really hard to bear.
He now understands why some team management is unwilling to come to the draft, mainly because it is too time-consuming...
After four or five hours, I sat here without providing melon seeds, peanuts and mineral water.
