Chapter 840: The Current Situation of the 2009 Draft and the Brutal Playoff Battle!

I could feel my hand was not feeling good.

But I can't help but take action...

Looking at the current evaluation of Curry by the NCAA and national public opinion, Ye Si really doesn't know what to say.

It is unstable, and there are always a few inexplicable ghost scenes at critical moments.

Curry's usual scoring ability is too strong, so the team's tactical system requires Curry to attack more.

When he feels bad, he still needs to continue attacking a lot, because this is the team's tactical system.

In the system he built for the University of Washington, Curry was the player who needed more offense whenever he needed it.

Therefore, when the hand feels good, Curry is a real god at that time, and when the hand feels bad, he is also a ghost of Joan of Arc.

Maybe even worse than Kobe!

Kobe didn't have a good touch, but he could still score points by relying on free throws and hard kills.

Curry...

When he doesn't feel good, coupled with his not-so-excellent physical talent, it's a surefire kill for Curry!

And this is why he and James were able to defeat the 2016 Warriors.

The defensive end provides a lot of confrontation for Curry, and the offensive end takes a lot of turns to beat Curry in singles, allowing Curry to expend a lot of energy in meaningless places, making Curry less impressive when he feels good, and less impressive when he feels bad. It's super weird every time.

The effect is quite outstanding.

Yes knows Curry's shortcomings, and of course has been trying to improve Curry's shortcomings.

But Curry has no system. His physical talent is innate. Even if he has been working hard to make himself stronger, it is impossible to become him or Kobe.

Therefore, there is no way for him to make up for these shortcomings by himself.

These shortcomings of his can only be made up for by others.

Curry does not have a safety catch, but he can be equipped with a safety catch next to him.

He also has a safety catch on his side.

So where is Curry's safety catch?

Curry's loss was temporary.

As a young man, no matter how selfless or generous he is, he will be very, very disappointed when encountering a situation like Curry's.

Curry is actually very good like this.

So after holding Ye Si and crying for a while, Curry quickly returned to normal and happily celebrated the championship with other players from the University of Washington.

"Kevin, that kid is so unlucky. He was hacked for three years because of his failure at the critical moment. He won the championship this year and has not been able to clear his name. His MOP was even robbed by his teammates."

"..."

Listening to Beasley's words next to him, Durant didn't know how to answer. He and Curry have a very good relationship.

Of course he couldn't deal with this kind of schadenfreude.

"Mind your image."

"Ahem..."

Mike Beasley, who was about to continue gloating about his misfortune, was so frightened that he quickly looked around. When he found that there were no cameras pointing at him, Beasley breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

The schadenfreude on his face turned to pious misery.

"Really a poor lamb."

"..."

Seeing the pious expression on Beasley's face that even moved him, Durant was a little stunned.

He always felt like he had turned on a strange button.

After the University of Washington finally unbelievably defeated the more powerful University of North Carolina in the game, University of Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar and the University of Washington players became the focus of the entire world.

This showdown between the University of Washington and the University of North Carolina has received a lot of attention.

After the game is over, the impact on the entire American basketball community will naturally be very, very large.

For example, Lorenzo Romar, who is currently the No. 1 coach in the NCAA, has now completely embarked on the road to becoming the No. 1 coach in NCAA history and even the No. 1 coach in basketball history.

Winning two NCAA championships and winning one NCAA championship are not the same concept!

Outside the Alaska Airlines Arena, home of the University of Washington, the second statue is ready. After the University of Washington wins this championship, it can be put up directly.

The University of Washington's unbeatable championship this year did more than just bring great prestige to Lorenzo Romar.

The benefits to UW's remaining players are also huge.

For example, Klay Thompson, who became the biggest winner in this NCAA tournament. After this year's NCAA finals, Klay Thompson, whose draft pick prediction has been hovering at the end of the first round, went directly into the lottery.

This is quite incredible. Clay is a freshman this year. When he graduated from high school, his ranking in the United States was only around 100. Moreover, he was not competing with his own classmates in the draft, but also with his seniors. Grade, third grade, second grade, how many geniuses!

Even Jennings, the No. 1 high school student in the country in the same class as Clay, is still in the lottery area now!

According to many people's predictions about Klay Thompson's career, if he had not gone to the University of Washington, it would be hard to say whether he would be able to enter the NBA in the future, let alone a super rookie who would advance to the lottery after participating in the draft in his first year!

The biggest winner among these players from the University of Washington is Klay Thompson.

Other than Klay Thompson, no one else has won that much.

But it's not that few. For example, University of Washington center Spencer Hawes is now among the top five picks in the draft.

This white center with quite comprehensive offense and defense has become the hope of the new white inside line.

However, this kid is indeed very good. He is a version of Bogut with enhanced offense and weakened defense. More importantly, his cooperation with Curry is really good.

Of course, with Hawes' current strength, he can still gain a foothold in the NBA even without Curry. In 2007, he was already a lottery prospect when he was a freshman, and his talent has always been considered to be the highest at the University of Washington. Yes, in the two years he has stayed with the team, his draft progress has never fallen out of the lottery.

But this time, he broke into the top five directly from the lottery and even became the biggest favorite to compete with Chen Jianghua for second place.

This is also a leap.

And Quincy Pondexter, the University of Washington's starting small forward, has now soared from the second round of the draft to the second half of the first round.

Of course, Green's draft progress has also increased a lot. Due to his height, Green's draft progress has not been very promising.

Master Lorenzo Romar used this fifth-level cripple with no height very well. He played brilliantly in the hands of Master Romar, but there is only one Master Romar in the world. If your team It's okay, Master Romar, it doesn't matter if you choose Green with the No. 1 pick.

But, can you Master Romar?

Without the addition of Master Romar, Green, who is even less than 1.98 meters tall, would have become a useless person. He performed well in the NCAA and was even the actual core organizer of the University of Washington. But with his height, it is difficult to play in the NBA. Can the insider be killed?

Therefore, no matter how good Green performs on the court, his weight loss in the draft is the second round, and even getting into the second round is a bit reluctant.

But after winning the championship, as a starting player, Green's draft pick was magical and he reached the first round.

This made Green quite excited, so after the NCAA finals, Green announced that he would participate in the 2009 NBA draft. Now is indeed the time when his draft prospects are the best.

And Green has become the fifth player from the University of Washington to declare for this year's draft, following Curry, Hawes, Pondexter, and Klay Thompson.

After Green declared his participation in the draft, this also means that this year's starting five at the University of Washington will all leave the NCAA.

Master Lorenzo Romar, who once again built an invincible team, once again lost his invincible team.

This year's University of Washington has five starters, but the main team has six starters. In addition to these five starters, the other main player is Isiah Thomas.

Isiah Thomas also wants to enter the draft this year.

He has already won the NCAA championship. As a Washington State native, he has completed his footsteps of following in the footsteps of the Garfield Five.

The significance of him staying in the NCAA is no longer that great.

But here’s what makes Isiah Thomas very uncomfortable.

He encountered the same problem as Dream Chaser Green.

height!

Thomas's official height is 1.75 meters. As for whether he is really 1.75 meters tall, it is difficult to say.

Green is too tall to play the No. 4 position. At least he can play the third position or even the No. 2 position. He can still be used and others can take a gamble, so he can reach the first round after winning the championship.

But Thomas, with his height, can't play point guard in the NBA, so he really can't play any position!

Therefore, even if Thomas performs very well in this year's NCAA tournament, his draft prospects will never reach the second round.

The meaning of second-round draft prospect is not that he will definitely be selected in the second round if he participates in the draft, but that he may be selected in the second round. According to his situation, there is a high probability that he will not be selected.

If he really loses the draft, with his relationship with Ye Si, he won't lose his job and can just go to the Seattle SuperSonics.

The key is that he is a proud man. Although he is small in body, his heart really does not allow him to do the same thing as Nate Robinson!

Isiah Thomas didn't want to stay in the NCAA anymore, but no NBA team wanted him. In the end, Isiah Thomas, who hesitated a lot, accepted the advice of his good friend Avery Bradley.

"Isiah, why are you thinking so much? Anyway, even if you enter the NBA, you won't be able to perform well. At most, you will disappear in the NBA. Rather than doing this, it is better to stay in the NCAA in the hands of Master Romar. Fooled one of the best players in NCAA history!"

"After four years of playing in the NCAA, you can become one of the greatest players in NCAA history, have your jersey retired by the University of Washington, and have your own statue in the Alaska Airlines Arena. Isn't that great!"

"We geniuses, if we want to be like you, can't do it yet."

Avery Bradley's words made Thomas want to do something to adults many times.

Resisting the urge to beat Bradley, Isiah Thomas turned his head and thought, it seemed that was really the case.

Playing in the hands of Master Romar, will there be a shortage of championships?

Will there be a shortage of honors?

Now that the five starters are gone, he is the highest-ranking person on the team. Will there be a shortage of data?

Instead of going to the NBA to play a role now, it would be better to see if his path to the NBA becomes wider after he becomes one of the greatest players in NCAA history.

Even if his path to the NBA is still very narrow at that time, at least some teams should give him, one of the greatest players in the NCAA, a little face, right?

As long as he really has such a status in the NCAA, if he goes to the NBA and at least becomes a leader player like Zhu Fangyu or Wang Shipeng, then there will be no problem, right?

Nick Collison, the substitute big man for the Sonics, is not short of contracts, even big contracts, even if he leaves the Sonics.

In this way, Isiah Thomas, who had been hesitating between the draft and staying on the team, finally accepted the persuasion of his good friend Avery Bradley and stayed at the University of Washington.

Of course, the reason why Isiah Thomas is willing to accept Bradley's statement is because Bradley is the number one high school student in the United States this year.

In the past, Master Romar could win the championship with their crooked lineup.

With Bradley as a true genius, even if the rest are losers like him and Kawhi Leonard, there will be no problem in winning the championship under coach Romar, right?

John Wall, the second high school student in the class of 2009, and Cousins, the fifth high school student, went to Kentucky to join forces. With coach Romar, the future of the University of Washington is still very bright.

After the NCAA finals between the University of Washington and the University of North Carolina ended, the University of Washington dispersed and the NBA's 2009 draft officially started.

On the other side, Garfield High School also fell apart due to the departure of Bradley and Leonard.

The current captaincy of Garfield High School was also handed over by Bradley to Tony Wroten, who is now a high school junior player in the presence of Yees.

Originally, in exchange for the captain's armband, Bradley could have given it to Tony Wroten privately.

But these little guys insisted on his presence.

"Captain, this is to tell everyone that the captain's armband you gave me is sacred!"

"That's right, captain, from now on this captain's armband will be the sacred object of our Garfield High School!"

"..."

Watching Bradley carry Leonard and Tony Wroten with the Antetokounmpo brothers' inherited captain's armbands.

Ye Si didn't even know what to say.

Looking at the Antetokounmpo brothers, these two really want it.

"Hahahaha, now the captain's armband is finally mine!"

"..."

Tony Rotten's arrogant laughter after taking over the captain's armband...

"Thanasis, it's useless for you to be envious. We are in the same grade and you can't carry this thing with you. However, Giannis, you do have a chance. After all, you are only a freshman in high school. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance! "

"Now, I am finally the king of Garfield High School!"

"..."

Although this kid Tony Roten has a slightly more restrained personality compared to what he was three years ago.

But this arrogant temper was really engraved in his bones.

"Hua Q!"

"If I had a choice, I would never give the captain's armband to this kid!"

Bradley was quite unwilling to hand over the captain's armband to Tony Roten.

Tony Roten cares about arrogance, which really does not give Bradley, the former captain, any face.

"Humph, Kawhi and I left. I'm just going to wait for this kid and the two Greeks to be tortured and cried by strong hands!"

"Captain, it's not that I'm being petty, I just want to see this kid get screwed right now!"

Will Tony Roten and his two new Greek boys be abused by those in the high school league who managed to survive until Bradley left and want to abuse Garfield High School?

Ye Si doesn’t know.

Tony Wroten's reputation in the national high school basketball world is naturally far inferior to Bradley's. Bradley is the number one high school student, and Tony Wroten is only in the top ten in his class.

but……

The hands and legs of these two Greek brothers are really long...

After settling matters at the University of Washington and Garfield High School, the Leafs and the Seattle SuperSonics are once again back in the NBA rushing game.

The SuperSonics, currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference, are only one game away from the ninth-ranked Houston Rockets.

It is said that it is only one game away, but in fact it is only half a game away. As long as the SuperSonics lose one game and the Rockets win one, the Rockets will overtake the Seattle SuperSonics and become eighth in the Western Conference, while the SuperSonics will fall out of the Western Conference. of the playoffs.

Now because the NBA's quadruple-double storm has not ended yet, coupled with the storm caused by the NCAA master Romar, it can be said that public opinion in the United States has not noticed that the current playoff situation of the Seattle SuperSonics is so precarious.

It is precisely because of this precarious situation.

Ye Si didn't even dare to find a better way to get five-doubles in the game. This kind of forced data collection would greatly reduce the team's strength. However, he had been getting four-doubles and five-doubles for so long. He didn't know how to get better. I have gained a lot of experience in practicing five pairs well, so it is just right to stop practicing now.

When that opportunity presented itself, Ye Si believed that he would not miss it!

On April 7, 2009, the day after the NCAA Finals, the Seattle SuperSonics, preparing for the final sprint for the playoffs, faced the challenge of the Pacers at home.

The Pacers are also working hard for the playoffs. The competition in the Eastern Conference playoffs is no worse than that in the Western Conference.

The Pacers led by Danny Granger also want to win this game.

However, now that they are united, the Seattle SuperSonics, which has completely dominated the Western Conference, did not give the Pacers such a chance.

Although the competition for the playoffs in the East and West is fierce, the level of competition and the strength of each team are really not on the same level.

Although the Pacers worked hard in this game, the Pacers, who were inferior in strength and condition, still lost to the SuperSonics 117-129 in the away game.

After the Sonics defeated the Pacers at home, the Rockets also defeated the Magic on the same day.

Just like Ye Si would beat Granger every time he met him.

Every time Yao Ming meets Howard, he can really beat Howard.

The competition between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Rockets for eighth place in the Western Conference has not been paid attention to because the world's attention is on other things.

However, the media around the world did not pay attention to the playoff competition between the SuperSonics and Rockets. It does not mean that the Rockets and SuperSonics themselves do not pay attention, and it does not mean that the Chinese media does not pay attention.

On April 8, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics faced the challenge of the Charlotte Hornets back-to-back at home.

For this game, the Rockets have some expectations.

Under the leadership of Larry Brown, the Hornets' combat effectiveness is still acceptable.

What's more, the whole world knows that the goal of Boss Joe's Hornets this season is to defeat the SuperSonics.

As long as they beat the Sonics or prevent Yes from scoring 20 points, the Hornets' season will be a success.

What's more, this game is a back-to-back game for the Sonics.

However, the game between the SuperSonics and the Hornets, which the Rockets had placed a lot of hope on, ended with the SuperSonics slaughtering the Hornets at home.

In this game, the Hornets did not let Yes score less than 20. Yes's consecutive 20 points continued, and this season's consecutive 30 points also continued.

Even facing Larry Brown's team, Milicic played extremely aggressively in this game and scored a career-high 51 points.

In this game against the Hornets, the entire Sonics team was creating opportunities for Milicic.

Although the game between the Sonics and the Hornets did not allow the Rockets to do what they wished.

They still need to wait for the opportunity. The Sonics have not given up the opportunity yet, and at the same time, the Rockets themselves have not given up the opportunity.

On April 9, the Rockets defeated the Kings at home and continued to cling to the SuperSonics.

In a place that is rarely seen in the world, the SuperSonics and Rockets are really at war with each other.

On April 10, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics started their away trip, and the Rockets on the other side also started their own away trip.

Not only are the two teams' records extremely close, but their schedules are also extremely similar.

On April 10, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics visited Portland and defeated the Trail Blazers led by Conley and Aldridge with a score of 123 to 113.

On the same day, the Rockets defeated the Warriors 113-100 on the road.

On April 11, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Clippers led by Nick Young, Westbrook and DeAndre Jordan 121-108.

One day later, the Houston Rockets defeated the Thunder 86-66 on the road.

On April 13, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics visited the Eastern Conference to face another fateful opponent of the Sonics, the Milwaukee Bucks.

In this game, Yeosi and the SuperSonics players did not waste any more emotion and energy on the Bucks. After defeating the Bucks 117 to 98 in three quarters, the SuperSonics called it quits.

After the game, the SuperSonics were concerned about another game where the Rockets also defeated the Jazz in three quarters.

"The Rockets still made no mistakes!"

81 games have been played this season, and the Seattle SuperSonics' current record is 59 wins and 22 losses, while the Rockets' record is 58 wins and 23 losses!

And it was at this time, when the quadruple-double storm of Yes and Paul and the god-conferring storm of Master Romar subsided a little, the whole world really noticed the current situation of the Rockets and Supersonics!

On April 14, 2009, the Houston Rockets faced the Dallas Mavericks back-to-back!

On April 15, 2009, the Seattle SuperSonics faced the Miami Heat away from home!

Looking at the records of the SuperSonics and Rockets, and then looking at the opponents of the two teams in the last game, everyone who once again focused on the SuperSonics and Rockets lost their voices!

"The Rockets and Supersonics actually ended up like this?!"
