Chapter 152 Indeed, the Uncontested Top Pick

Indeed, no matter how many times history repeats itself, or which team holds the first overall pick in the 2007 draft, Greg Oden is the undisputed top pick.

New York, the draft site. After putting on the Houston Rockets cap, Oden was as excited as a fifty-year-old grandpa, his forehead full of wrinkles that didn't match his actual age.

"Are you sure he's not LeBron's uncle?" Watching Oden's aged face on TV, Kobe couldn't help but complain.

In Su Feng's previous life, many James haters used Oden to taunt James...

Because ever since Oden entered the league, James could only rank second in terms of looking the oldest...

Tsk!

Look at these hateful James haters!

Is it that Little Zhan Zhan hasn't gotten enough second places?

Do they have to rub salt in his wounds?

But you have to admit...

In terms of appearance...

James is indeed no match for Oden.

It is worth mentioning that after the Houston management selected Oden with the first overall pick in New York, Rockets fans immediately applied to leave the "NBA Darkest Hour Chat Group."

Because in the eyes of Rockets fans...

Under the leadership of Emperor Oden, Houston will surely have a bright future!

"He is our 'New Dream'!"

Please don't be surprised by the excitement of Rockets fans at this moment.

Because in 2007...

Oden's reputation was that great.

Before even entering the league, American media believed that he could take over the torch from O'Neal as a super genius.

It's a pity...

Oden's congenital leg length discrepancy had already destined that he could not run and jump like O'Neal in the more physical and faster-paced NBA games.

Therefore, Su Feng knew very well...

Even if he avoided the Blazers' veterinarians, Oden would only be hospitalized in another place.

And then...

Although Kevin Durant performed poorly at the recent Chicago pre-draft camp...

Even making an extremely embarrassing situation where he couldn't even do one rep during the bench press test...

However, the Supersonics management team, led by Presti, still firmly used their second overall pick to take away this young man who proclaimed himself "T-Mac's successor."

After the Supersonics selected Roy and Durant in consecutive years...

Su Feng is now very curious...

In this life, whose window will Westbrook be outside of next year.

With the third overall pick, the Lakers selected Al Horford with the pick they had luckily drawn.

Su Feng knew that this choice was 100% Riley's intention.

Because in terms of style, after returning to the Heat, Milicic is more suitable for playing power forward. In addition, Odom, who can play both three and four, can swing between the two positions. Therefore, compared to other positions, the Heat's most needed reinforcement next season is definitely the center.

In Su Feng's previous life, Horford didn't have Oden's outrageous reputation.

But as a center who can provide the team with space support, if you ask who is the biggest winner of this draft in Su Feng's eyes, then Su Feng will definitely tell you that the answer is the Heat.

Horford, Milicic, Odom, Ariza, Rondo...

No cap...

In the future, this lineup definitely has the potential to challenge for the championship.

But then, with the fourth overall pick, shortly after the Hawks selected Mike Conley...

A subsequent trade immediately made Su Feng retract his view that the Heat would be the biggest winner of this year's draft.

In the West, the Grizzlies, who were single-mindedly focused on rebuilding, submitted a trade request to the Hawks.

Then, after the two teams reached an agreement, the Grizzlies immediately sent Pau Gasol to Atlanta.

On the Hawks' side, in addition to sending Mike Conley, who was selected with the fourth pick, to Memphis, in order to match Gasol's salary, they will also send Jalen Rose and the team's first-round pick this year.

Without a doubt.

This is a trade that is enough to change the格局(géjú - overall situation) of the East.

Because after Wade gradually entered his peak period, plus Josh Smith and Gasol...

This Hawks team only needs to appropriately introduce a few shooters this summer, and their combat power will immediately rise to a higher level without anyone noticing.

And for the Grizzlies, they are not at a loss at all as they are now focused on completing their rebuild quickly.

Because after Su Feng decided to join the Lakers, the Lakers could no longer trade for Gasol like in his memory. Therefore, after trading Gasol, the Grizzlies now have enough chips to support them in completing their rebuild.

But...

Since the Grizzlies traded back Conley...

Then, in Su Feng's opinion, the original "Big Beard" Baron Davis is now only one phone call away from leaving Memphis.

Sure enough, as the 2007 draft progressed, when it was the Nuggets' turn to pick, a three-way trade that had already been secretly agreed upon was released.

According to the plan proposed by the Nuggets, the Nuggets will send Andre Miller and Wilson Chandler, who they selected in the first round this year, to the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies will send Davis and the Hawks' pick they got from the Hawks to the Motor City.

As for the Pistons...

In addition to sending Billups to Denver, they will also send Randolph to Memphis.

If viewed from Su Feng's God's perspective, in this trade, even if the Pistons can't be said to be at a loss, they definitely can't be said to be making a profit.

But from the perspective of the Pistons' management, Billups and Randolph are two players they must deal with this year.

In addition, in this life, without that championship and f

Because whether it's Horford or Gasol...

Their positions are center.

But with Milicic already on the Lakers...

Are we going to select a bunch of centers for a lottery?

Before the draft began, in a poll launched by the local media in Los Angeles, the players that Lakers fans most wanted the Lakers to select in the first and second rounds were Corey Brewer, nicknamed "Tennessee Little Su Feng," and Marcus Williams, a local player from Los Angeles.

But what Lakers fans never expected was...

The Lakers management once again ignored their opinions.

And, they selected two...

Players that the Lakers didn't need at all.

"I'll declare first, I'm a dog if I buy the Lakers' season tickets next season!"

"Lakers games? Not even a dog would watch!

Since the Lakers management likes tanking so much, then just let them tank until Kobe recovers and then let Kobe save them!

It's just that this time, Kobe can't stand up and take the blame for them like before."

Online, as soon as the draft ended, Lakers fans started a new round of denouncing the Lakers management and the Buss family on various forums.

But...

Where do these naive Lakers fans know...

At this year's draft, the Lakers management team, led by Kupchak, were just a bunch of tools?

First of all, because the Lakers had already reached an agreement with the Heat in secret, the Lakers' third overall pick this year could only be controlled by the Heat.

And based on Corey Brewer's performance during his trial with the Heat...

Even if Riley is an idiot, he wouldn't naively think that Brewer could reach one-ten-thousandth of Su Feng's level like these fans.

In Su Feng's previous life, as a wing role player, Brewer was good at defense. In addition, he also liked to use off-ball movement to create space for the team's star player during offense.

But...

If you plan to use a high pick like the third overall pick to select him...

Then what's the difference from being mentally retarded?

Secondly, in the second round, the Lakers could trade up to exchange draft picks for Marcus Williams...

However, since Marc Gasol is the person personally appointed by His Majesty Feng...

Then do you think Kupchak would dare to change His Majesty Feng's decision without authorization?

What's more, the Heat and the Lakers haven't officially completed the trade yet!

Therefore, what if His Majesty Feng is unhappy before this transaction occurs?

Therefore, the facts once again proved this night...

In the absence of God's perspective, most fans' choices are destined to become "wishful thinking."

"Uh...

To be honest, Su, I've watched Marc's game footage in Spain.

Do you really think he has the strength to become the Lakers' starting center?"

See, isn't Kobe questioning Su Feng's judgment after the Lakers selected Little Gasol in the second round this day?

Hearing this, after patting Kobe's shiny head, Su Feng smiled and said, "Kobe, even if Marc can't adapt to the pace of NBA games for a while, you won't have any chance to come back next season, understand?"

Kobe: "..."

WTF!

How did you know that I wanted to say next that if it really doesn't work, I can come back and help you?

Su Feng: Want to come back?

Sure!

Wait until you have rested and recovered from your remaining fourteen months of injury!

"Su...

Although I understand why you want me to fully recover from my injury before coming back...

But..."

"No buts!

Remember, Kobe, since I chose the Lakers, then do you want to see me playing while you can only sit on the sidelines watching because of injuries in the future?"

That day, looking at Kobe, who was determined to return early...

Su Feng always felt that next season, in addition to taking care of the kids, he also had to hold Kobe down.

After all, without Pippen...

Even the strongest Jordan is just a weakling who can't even beat the Pistons! (Pistons: Do you think we were weak back then?)

……

The draft ends.

On June 30th, Su Feng also boarded a special plane back to China with his kids, his wife, and Kobe's family.

Because he had been training intensively in the past few years, Su Feng, who planned to take a good rest this summer, also suspended his Steel Home training camp, which he held every summer.

In addition, knowing that his current ability means greater responsibility, Su Feng also planned to take advantage of the continued high popularity of basketball in China this summer to create another wave of momentum for Chinese basketball.

In Su Feng's previous life, before someone made an irreparable mistake, relying on the popularity of hosting the Basketball World Cup at home, as well as the broadcast of several basketball variety shows, the basketball atmosphere in the Rabbit Country once reached its peak.

And in this life...

In case "Here Comes the Dunk" can really discover one or two young people who regretfully missed the opportunity to become basketball stars due to their studies, then in Su Feng's opinion, at least after he retires from the national team in the future, Chinese basketball will not be without available players.

And even if you can't find such young people, it doesn't matter...

Because as long as more young people can be made to forget their unrealistic football dreams through this variety show, then at least, Su Feng will have made a contribution to Chinese football in the future when Chinese football fans shout "Rnm, give me my money back," right?

Look at Wang Tao, who just won the scoring title in the "CCTV Employee Cup" in this life.

And He Wei, who fell in love with basketball after watching the NBA All-Star Game with his classmates in his university dormitory in 1997, will be the CCTV NBA commentator next season...

Su Feng knows that as more and more Rabbits fall in love with basketball...

Then, even if Chinese basketball cannot produce the next Little Yao or the next him in a short period of time...

As the next generation's meat, eggs, and milk can keep up, and the physical fitness of the next generation of young people becomes stronger and stronger, the appearance of the next Su Feng and the next Yao Ming will only be a matter of time.

After all, before Su Bingtian, there were no shortage of dog-like remarks that Chinese people could not run within 10 seconds.

There were even those who touted that the Brazilian rainforest was being destroyed because Rabbits were eating too much meat, eggs, and milk, because they were jealous of the increasing height and physical fitness of the next generation of young Chinese people.

Therefore, this time when he returns to China, Su Feng not only wants to use "Here Comes the Dunk" to make more young people fall in love with basketball...

At the same time, he also wants to use this variety show to tell these young people who love basketball how to eat and how to train at what stage.

Scientific diet plus scientific exercise.

Plus the blessing of faith from idols...

Oh!

My old brother Yao, who is single-minded about usurping the throne!

Don't worry!

In this life, your brother Feng has even paved the way for you to become the chairman of the Basketball Association in the future!

……

ps: The second update is here. Uh, I didn't lie in the ending of this chapter, because when Qiao was in high school, being 1.7 meters tall was almost the tallest in the whole grade. But on the afternoon of the 30th, I went to a junior high school, thinking about showing off to these junior high school students... mLgB ah! How come junior high school students are all 1.8 meters tall now! Are we still playing! (Give me the ball, uncle wants to go home!)
