Wang Dalin watched the 2003 draft at his home in Detroit It was still only June 26, and before the two teams officially announced the free market, it was difficult for Wang Dalin to go to Los Angeles in advance to buy real estate.
As in previous years, this draft will still be held at Madison Square Garden in New York, and the host will still be league president David Stern.
"Good evening, welcome everyone to New York's Madison Square Garden. This is the 2003 NBA Draft. Friends in the United States and Canada can watch our live broadcast on TNT TV"
It was the same familiar opening remarks, and the boos were like a tide. Stern had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, so he very calmly took the first envelope from the staffthe "No. 1 pick" from the Cleveland Cavaliers. choose".
"With the first pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers selectedsmall forward LeBron James from St. Vincent St. Mary High School!"
As Stern slowly read out the name, the scene suddenly burst into joy, especially the Cavaliers managers who jumped up and hugged each other. Many of them were moved to tears.
In fact, LeBron James has already been very famous. In his sophomore year, he averaged 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.8 steals per game. Not only did he lead the team to win the Ohio State championship, he himself He was also selected to the USA Today All-American First Team.
In their senior year of high school, due to the huge increase in the number of high school students from St. Vincent and St. Mary, the team had to be upgraded to the more challenging second-level league. However, they achieved a good record of 23 wins and 4 losses, but they failed to win the state championship in the end. runner up.
In his junior year of high school, James averaged 29 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game, which was an improvement from last season It was at this time that many media, including the Associated Press, gave him the title A very domineering nickname - "Emperor"!
In his senior year of high school, James led the team to an astonishing record of 25 wins and 1 loss, and was named the virtual American high school basketball champion by USA Today.
In this season, the only losing record was because James' svsm team was sentenced to lose due to violations.
St. Vincent St. Mary High School won its third state championship this season. In the final game on March 22, 2003, in Columbus, the capital of Ohio, the team defeated the Kettering Changes 40-36. James cut 25 points and 11 rebounds.
As a senior, James averaged 31.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.4 steals per game. In the win over Oak Hill Academy, James scored 31 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists. As a result, the St. Vincent St. Mary High School basketball team was considered to have reached the highest level in the United States.
In the game against Rochester High School from Los Angeles, James scored 52 points and shot 21 of 35 from the field, shocking all the spectators present.
By this time, James had appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated and ESPN Magazine.
His popularity was so great that the St. Vincent-St. Mary High School basketball team had to move their practice venue from the school gym to the nearby James Rhodes Arena at the University of Akron.
NBA stars like Shaquille O'Neal also come to watch the game, and some of James' games are even broadcast on espn2 national live broadcast and local paid channels. This is hard to imagine He is only a high school player!
And it is precisely because James is too strong that he participated in more than two high school All-Star games in high school, so he automatically lost the qualification to enter the NCAA So, don't say that James is unwilling to go to the college arena to prove himself. He was disqualified just because he was too strong.
So you can imagine how excited the Cavaliers managers are At this moment, it is estimated that only the current team boss Ricky Davis thinks that LeBron is here to assist him, right?
LeBron James walked out of the Little Green Room elegantly in a suit and leather tie, and came to the stage to take a photo with Stern I guess even he didn't expect that Stern had already regarded him as his boss as early as last year. Son?
¡¡
After a brief fuss, a second envelope was delivered to Stern This one came from the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons just won the championship not long ago, and now the Grizzlies actually helped them get the second pick. It really makes the management of each team jealous!
¡°With the second overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies¡¯ selection wascenter Darko Milicic from Serbia!¡±
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTIn 5.7 minutes, he can get 1.8 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.2 steals. The shooting percentage is only 22.2%, and the efficiency value is even as low as -4.5!
Wang Dalin doesn¡¯t know why this guy disappeared from the league after only playing 6 games. It¡¯s probably that the Grizzlies management couldn¡¯t stand his poor performance and just hid him.
As a superstar who averages more than 37 minutes per game, Wang Dalin is quite envious of this guy This guy only played a total of 34 minutes in his career, but he actually earned a salary of US$4.15 million in three years. Are you convinced?
Seeing that the Pistons actually selected such a guy with the No. 6 pick, Wang Dalin didn't know whether he should gloat or observe three minutes of silence for them.
Next, the Chicago Bulls with the seventh pick selected Kirk Hinrich, the Milwaukee Bucks with the eighth pick selected T.J. Ford, and the New York Knicks with the ninth pick selected Michael Sweat. Ni, the Washington Wizards selected Chris Kaman with the tenth overall pick
Poor Kaman In the original time and space, he should have been selected by the Clippers with the sixth overall pick, but in this life, because the Clippers sent this pick to Detroit, his pick was directly dropped. By tenth place, I almost fell out of the lottery.
With the fifth pick in the second round, it was finally the Clippers' turn to choose a rookie for themselves. Wang Dalin couldn't help but become nervous, holding back the urge to urinate and not even daring to go to the toilet.
Although Elgin Baylor had already promised that he would choose Kyle Korver, "Baylor's" various tricks are so well-known that Wang Dalin was really worried about him.
"You must choose Korver You must choose Korver You must choose Korver" As Wang Dalin kept mumbling to himself, Mark Tower, who served as the host of the second round, Thum read the contents of the envelope.
"With the fifth overall pick in the second round of the 2003 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected shooting guard Kyle Korver from Creighton University!"
After hearing Tatum say these words, Wang Dalin finally breathed a sigh of relief Finally, he selected a high-quality role player. When I am double-teamed in the new season, I will at least have a reliable shooter. He caught the ball and shot from outside the three-point line.
Kyle Korver¡¯s full name is Kyle Elliott Korver. He was born into a basketball family. His parents and two uncles all played for the college basketball team.
Korver¡¯s Creighton University is not a prestigious university, but this has also made him a famous star in this school.
In the 2000-2001 season, when Korver was a sophomore, he averaged 14.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. This increased to 15.1 points as a junior, and to 17.8 points as a senior Korver You are making progress every year and reaching a new level every year!
During his junior year, Korver ranked first on the team in four categories: points, rebounds, assists and steals. As a senior, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 48%, and he also improved on the defensive end.
After four years in college, Korver made a total of 371 three-pointers. He set a team history record at Creighton University. This number also ranks sixth in NCAA history.
Because Creighton University is not well-known, Korver was inherently disadvantaged in the draft.
At the same time, white players like him have average physical fitness, which is not popular in the draft.
In addition, James, Anthony, Bosh, Wade and others attracted most of the attention in the 2003 draft, so Korver's ranking continued to decline.
In the original time and space, Korver would have been selected by the Nets with the 22nd overall pick in the second round, and then traded him to Philadelphia. In this life, his destiny has completely changed.
On the surface, the fifth pick in the second round does not seem to be much better than the bottom pick in the second round. In fact, anyone knowledgeable knows that the first few picks in the second round are very good picks. In a sense Even better than the picks at the end of the first round.
Wang Dalin silently counted the current Clippers lineup in his mind. Now there are only 8 people in the team including himself. The team must find ways to introduce players after the free market opens.
With "Baylor's" consistent peeing, if Wang Dalin doesn't "give more guidance," who knows what kind of tricks he can do?
So Wang Dalin immediately made a decision He will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow. First, he must help "Baylor" with his consultation. By the way, he should also solve the problem of his future residence in Los Angeles. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
