Chapter 113: How many championships have you won?

(

In the next first-round draft, there are not many rookies worth mentioning. The ones that attracted Zhang Yu's attention were DeRozan, who was selected by the Raptors with the 9th overall pick, and Ju Holiday, who was selected by the 76ers with the 17th overall pick. .

In addition, many powerful players have emerged in this first-round show, such as Darren Collison, DeMar Carroll, Ty Lawson, Jeff Teague, Tony Douglas, etc. The NBA has gained a firm foothold, and there are many All-Stars among them.

After the first round of the draft, Larry Riley used the Grizzlies' pick to pick Butler with the sixth overall pick in the second round.

Although Butler won two championships with the Bulldogs, Curry and Hayward are mainly responsible for the team's offensive tasks. His role is more reflected in the defensive end. The data is not obvious, and he has not attracted the attention of many teams.

After him, Beverly, Danny Green, Judy Meeks, Mills and other players were also selected one after another.

Although many experts believe that this year is a small year for the draft, the quality of this draft is actually very high, contributing many All-Stars and powerful players, as well as the two MVPs of Curry and Harden. session.

In the end, the Heat selected Robert Dozier with the 60th overall pick.

So far, the 2009 NBA Draft has come to an end, and the Warriors have completed their set goals, including Curry and Butler.

But this is just the beginning for the Warriors.

In Madison Square Garden, people saw Curry who was unscathed. The smart people are not only Presti and Donnie Walsh, but the close connection between Curry and the Warriors has been speculated.

For a moment, all eyes were on the Warriors, a perennially transparent team that became the focus of attention.

...

Three days later, Oakland, Glenview neighbourhood.

Mark Baum had returned to Indiana a long time ago, and he completely threw the Oakland mansion to Zhang Yu, bluntly letting him live as he pleased.

Zhang Yu has been busy buying the team and drafting for the Warriors, and has no time to buy a house, so he just lives here. There is no need to be polite between him and Mark Baum.

After the draft, he rushed back to Oakland and had a good rest for two days.

In the past month, he has been following the Knicks and the Thunder, communicating frequently with Jeff Austin and Larry Riley, and he is mentally exhausted.

This morning, Zhang Yu didn't get up until she woke up naturally. After eating the breakfast made by Tina, she turned on the TV.

He switched screens boredly, and glanced at the retro clock hanging on the wall from time to time—he had an appointment with someone today.

Suddenly, the movement of Zhang Yu's hand stopped, and the channel that kept switching was also frozen on TNT TV station.

TNT is broadcasting an inventory program of the 2009 NBA Draft. The hosts include Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller, Barkley, and O'Neill was invited as a guest to participate.

Although O'Neal is still playing, he is already in the twilight years of his career. He is very interested in the commentary industry and has time during the offseason, so he accepted TNT's invitation.

TNT Tiantuan, assemble!

The show was just getting started, with Kenny Smith saying:

"This year's No. [-] pick is Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma..."

"Kenny, next," Barkley interrupted.

Everyone looked at him together, and Barkley shrugged:

"I don't want to analyze this kind of topic that has been talked about badly. As long as the world is not destroyed, he must be the champion. Let's talk about the next topic."

Zhang Yu laughed out loud. This is TNT's program style, or Barkley's style. He never plays cards according to common sense and does his own way, but the audience just like him.

Although he didn't win the championship when he was playing, Barkley's popularity after turning into a commentary can surpass the crowd.

Kenny Smith said helplessly:

"Okay, here's the big thing -- this year's No. [-] pick is Stephen Curry, drafted by the Grizzlies, and he and Kyle Lowry traded to the Warriors for Hashem Thabeet, Anthony Morrow and Kolima Getty, let's talk about this trade, a lot of people say that Curry and the Warriors have been linked, what do you think?"

Reggie Miller said:

"Curry must have got the commitment of the Warriors, otherwise he would not refuse to participate in any trial training, but what I can't figure out is why he chose the Warriors. No matter how you look at it, the Knicks are a better choice."

"You mean Curry shouldn't go to the Warriors?" Kenny Smith asked.

"Of course, the Warriors have them, the Knicks have them, and the New York ball market is even bigger. I don't think Curry going to the Warriors is a good choice." Reggie Miller said.

Barkley nodded in agreement:

"Reggie was right, Curry should go to the Knicks."

Everyone looked at him, and he continued:

"Only an owner like James Dolan with a lack of brain will give Curry a big contract after his rookie season-if he can still stay in the NBA by then."

"Charles, are you saying that the NCAA scoring champion can't gain a foothold in the league?" Reggie Miller asked.

Barclay said unhurriedly:

"Look at the way he plays! Super long three-pointers, three-pointers against people, three-pointers with the ball, three-pointers after running without the ball... His outside shots accounted for 54.3%! Look again His body is the same as a matchstick, I doubt whether he can adapt to the confrontation in the NBA, I am afraid that he will be knocked into the air when he is playing!"

Reggie Miller looked at him unkindly:

"Are you alluding to me?"

I also make a living by shooting three-pointers!

Barkley shook his head:

"Look at his baby face, I don't believe Steph Curry has your fighting spirit... Well, I may be exaggerating, Steph Curry should be able to find a stable job, but a shooter should not be in the second Picked overall, James Harden has a lot more talent than him."

"And the Warriors also paid Corey Maggette in this deal. He averaged close to 20 points per game and was a small forward with strong impact. He was at his peak, and the Warriors were at a loss."

"Ah..."

Zhang Yu looked at the TV and sneered. Barkley was still the same as in his previous life. He was not optimistic about Curry. His prejudice against jump shots was too deep-rooted.

O'Neill smiled and looked at Barkley:

"Charles, how many years have you played in college?"

"Three years, what happened?"

"How many championships have you won?"

Barkley froze, and said a little angrily:

"...Shaq, we're talking about the NBA! What are you talking about about the NCAA?"

"Curry played in college for three years and won two championships." O'Neal smiled.

"That can only show that the current NCAA is something for children to play. I bet Curry can't even get half of the points he averaged in the NCAA in the NBA!" Barkley said.

Zhang Yu stared at Barkley on TV and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Has this fat man forgotten Yao Ming's lesson from the past?
