Chapter 314 Choose Yi Jianlian!(1/2)
The Pistons, who will choose?
This suspense may be greater than who the Nuggets will choose.
As Sun Hao analyzed before, because his intervention history has changed, this piston is very different from the piston in the same period of history.
When Prince did not "show his luck", the Pistons' small forward position was weak, and it was very likely to choose Anthony.
But at the same time, it is also very likely that they will choose Milicic.
Because the Pistons are also the second best in history, and the biggest reason why they chose Milicic is that General Manager Joe Thomas prefers the latter.
In Thomas' eyes, this center from Serbia, with a speed, strength, coordination, and agility far exceeding the center of the same type, and also has the delicateness of European players and the confrontation of European and American players.
To describe it in one word: perfect.
In Thomas' eyes, this is a big man who can succeed as much as Yao Ming before.
On one hand, it is the team's needs, and on the other hand, the general manager's side is short.
The Pistons' choice is hard to guess.
But fortunately, I don’t have to worry about the pure yy as before.
Because Stern has begun to announce the final result.
"The second pick in the first round of the NBA in 2003, the Detroit Pistons chose...Cameron Anthony, a small forward of 2.03 meters, from Syracuse."
Stern this time is simple and straightforward.
After he announced the result, the Pistons fans who arrived began to cheer.
Stern's global promotion is very successful, and overseas players are becoming more and more famous in the NBA.
But in the final analysis, local fans will still prefer local players, which is the same in any country.
Especially Anthony's performance in NCAA in the past year can be described as "once a decade".
The Pistons chose Anthony, and the fans must be happy if they don't say anything else.
Sun Hao looked at Anthony at this time, looking full of anticipation.
History has changed again!
Anthony, go to the Pistons!
The Denver Plateau Nuggets became the Detroit Motor City Piston Melon!
Sure enough, Prince failed to play, which had a huge impact on how the Pistons finally chose.
And than James's Nuggets, Anthony's career trajectory will change even more!
Long before the finals began, the Pistons had completed the replacement of head coaches, and the former 76ers head coach Larry Brown took office at the Pistons.
For Anthony, there are two completely opposite situations in his future.
In the best case, Brown uses him like Iverson, the Pistons become super strong teams and even have the chance to build a dynasty.
In the worst case, Brown, a coach who specializes in a rookie, ruined him, and the Pistons and Anthony lost both.
Good and bad, a combination that has never appeared in history, no one knows which side it will go.
However, when Anthony got up, he had already swept away his previous depression, and endless spirit burst out on his face.
The "Brown's aborted rookie" said that it only appeared after Milicic. At this time, Brown's identity in the eyes of the public was more of a famous league coach and Iverson's mentor.
Moreover, although the Pistons are not as strong as the same period in history, they are also a standard playoff team in the East.
Joining such a team from the beginning of his career means that he has the opportunity to play in the playoffs and even strive for the championship from the beginning!
In other words, the starting point of his career will be higher than that of James, the No. 1 pick!
So Anthony has a total reason to be happy.
Moreover, the melon that smiles is really sunny and handsome.
People cannot make a living by looking, but looking can definitely make it easier to succeed.
In fact, another reason why Joe Thomas has a special liking for Milicic is that the latter is sunny and handsome and attractive to fans.
After Anthony arrived in the audience, he also accepted an interview with reporters.
Unlike James who is restrained and gentle on the field, Anthony's personality is much more outward.
"I'm ready to help the Pistons win the championship."
“I believe Detroit fans will love the team’s choice.”
“I always felt like the best rookie.”
...
Such words frequently appeared in his interviews.
Under a warm and pure smile, there is a socially rude heart.
This also made the Pistons fans at the scene more excited.
From the "Bad Boys Legion" in the past to Ben Wallace and others today, the Pistons have always been synonymous with toughness (dirty).
It's very appropriate to choose a ruffian player like Anthony.
The season hasn't started yet, but they can't wait to watch the team's honeymoon trip in the new season.
Unlike the Mavericks and the Nuggets, the "Bad Boys Legion" was a team that had completed two consecutive championships.
They look forward to Anthony helping the team to regain its glory!
Sun Hao's eyes had shifted from Anthony's side to the stage at this time.
Then, the Cavaliers' choice was the third pick.
Both James and Anthony were selected, and the suspense of who the Cavaliers would choose is greater than before.
This city, which has never had a championship in the four major sports leagues in history, urgently needs a "savior".
But to be honest, even for the Platinum generation, in terms of their strength in the draft, James and Anthony are better than all other rookies.
The rest, whether it is Milicic, Bosh, Yi Jianlian, Wade, Kaman and others, cannot reach the word "savior".
So Cleveland, whose destiny has been changed by history, is very embarrassing.
Well, Sun Hao was embarrassed for them.
If he was the general manager of the Cavaliers, he would definitely choose Wade.
As the "Flash" who will be bright with Kobe in the future, he is the one who can be the "savior" among the remaining people.
However, the Cavaliers will definitely not be able to open their eyes.
The reality is that Wade's breakthrough is indeed very good, but he was actually a very embarrassing existence in the draft.
He is 1.93 meters tall, a breakthrough shooting guard, is not good at organizing offense and has poor shooting ability.
Just this description in the draft shows, you can tell how much risk it is to choose him.
There are countless cases of such players failing in the NBA.
Moreover, he participated in the draft after finishing his junior year, and he was a standard "older rookie" in the draft standards.
In history, the Heat's selection of Wade was also a big bet, but they eventually won the bet.
If you go back and ask Riley to think more, people may not continue to choose Wade.
Therefore, Sun Hao feels that the Cavaliers are not likely to choose Wade.
Then, it is Milicic, Bosh, Yi Jianlian and Kaman.
Four big men who all look talented.
Sun Hao looked at Yi Jianlian and saw that the latter looked a little nervous.
Although the Cavaliers have never given him any draft promises, even the draft predictions have not put him in this position.
But just like everyone expected to be the No. 1 pick before, everyone would expect to be the top three in the draft.
"In 2003, the third pick in the first round of the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose... Milicic, 2.13-meter center, from Serbia."
The Cavaliers finally chose Milicic!
This choice is acceptable.
In this era, if you don’t know how to choose, then choose a big guy!
It is not just the trend of the times, but also because relatively speaking, the probability of a big man losing water is the smallest.
Especially in the era when the center starts to gradually wither, if I have you or not, then I will be a great start.
Sun Hao was not surprised either.
The parallels in history, except for a few who choose "Brazil Durant" like the Raptors, are sure to be awesome at first glance. Most of them are hindsights.
No team's scouts are just a good meal, especially as the information develops, the information that each team has is getting closer and closer. If you don't choose, I will choose.
Milicic's physical talent is the best in this class, and so is the potential.
To be continued...
