Chapter 471： We are the biggest winners on draft night

"Thank you very much to the Knicks for giving me this opportunity. New York is a great city. I built a career here with my brother Zuoli in high school. We are best friends and we cooperate very well. I hope we can Let's go further together."

On the stage, Curry, wearing a Knicks hat, talked eloquently, and it could be seen that he was really very happy, and it was like a dream to be able to play with Zuo Li on the same team again.

Although Curry already knew that the Knicks would draft him, after all, this is an unspoken rule of the draft, and the outcome of a hard selection without negotiation is generally not very good, but when things do happen, Curry still feel very happy.

Zuo Li, who was applauding from the audience, was full of one sentence: "This has really changed history."

Turning his head to look at the general manager of the Warriors, who was as uncomfortable as eating flies, Zuo Li could only say sorry in his heart.

Curry has always wanted to go to New York in his previous life, and the Knicks also decided to choose this Davidson College kid, but the Knicks, who thought they were safe with the No. 8 pick, were equally discerning and had the No. 7 pick. The warriors stopped halfway.

This also caused a lot of criticism at the time, because there were not many teams that were interested in Curry before. Even if the Knicks were a high-ranked team, I didn't expect the Warriors to step in halfway.

At this point, the direction of history has changed, and the opportunity to change history has passed the New York Knicks.

In this life, Zuo Li finally brought Curry to the New York Knicks, and the small-ball era may not be destined to start in the Warriors.

But Zuo Li has no psychological burden. What he did in time travel was to change the world, what's the point of following history, and in the Knicks, they will work together to do something big!

The Warriors who were reversed by the Knicks chose Jonny Flynn, who is also famous in the NCAA. Because of his short stature, he has a big heart with a height of 183. He averaged 17.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the NCAA last season. 6.2 assists and 1.4 steals, and Curry is also known as the Wonder Boy Gemini. He was also selected by the Timberwolves in the sixth place in history. I did not expect that the Warriors would choose him to replace the original position of Curry.

It's just a pity that this magical boy didn't become magical...

The subsequent draft picks were the same as Zuo Li remembered. Jordan Hill, DeRozan, Jennings, Zhu Holiday, and Ty Lawson were selected by the team one by one.

Zuo Li looked at the list and could only sigh, the quality of this rookie is really good. No wonder later generations said that there were 60 players in the two rounds, and only 2 of them had not played in the playoffs.

Finally at the 27th overall pick, the Knicks made another selection. This time, they chose Patrick Beverley, who was originally selected as the 12th overall pick in the second round!

"Quick, quick, the Knicks shot again! This time it's a guard again!"

"Who is Patrick Beverley!?"

"So does anyone know where this guy is now?"

The selection of the Knicks this time once again caused a riot in the media booth. It is understandable that Curry was selected as the sixth pick. After all, Curry and Zuo Li have a very tacit understanding and cooperate very well, although many people are not optimistic about his physical ability. Standing in the NBA, but it is also worth a try.

But who is Beverly?

Does the NCAA have such a number one?

The reporters were frantically looking up the information, but TNT was faster. After all, there were professionals, so Kenny Smith got Beverley's information.

After watching it, he just wanted to say... The Knicks are getting bigger and bigger...

According to the data, Beverley is an undergrad from the University of Arkansas. He was expelled from the draft because of cheating in his thesis in his junior year. He had no choice but to go to Europe for gold. He played for the Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk team in the Ukrainian League B last season. He is the number one thigh in the team, even Also won the league's slam dunk contest championship...

Gu Jian For this series of operations, Kenny Smith can only say, I give nine points...

Cough cough.

"This is another unexpected choice, Beverly is not even in the United States at this time..." Kenny Smith can only say.

That's right, in fact, Beverley was still in Europe at this time. Although he applied for the draft, he didn't think he had a chance to be selected, so he was training in Greece at this time.

Yes, historically, Beverley was traded to the Heat after being selected by the Lakers with the 42nd overall pick in the second round, and the Heat let Beverley continue to play in Europe for reasons of cap space.

It was not until the summer of 2010 that Beverley signed with the Heat for two years, 1.2 million yuan, a pure minimum salary player, and then Beverley proved that although he is not a superstar, he is also a counter-attack second-round pick!

But now, he's just living in a rundown house in a small Greek hotel.

But with a 1% hope, Beverley watched the draft on TV. When he saw that Curry was selected, Beverley sighed with emotion: "Good luck guy."

Because he also wants to play in New York. In fact, who doesn't want to? Zuo Li's career is a legend for a child born in the slums of Chicago. He has known Zuo Li for a long time, but he has never been able to see it. He also dreams of being like Zuo Li. Just like to make a career in the NBA.

But unfortunately...

But when David Stern pronounced his name, Beverly was stunned...

"Number 27...wtf, I'm not dreaming..." Beverley muttered to himself, then jumped up, picked up the phone and called his agent: "Hello?! Damn, stop training, let Hell, the Greek team, I'm going back to America! I've been selected!"

As a result, the agent said calmly: "Oh, so what, are you sure they will want you now, that is the New York Knicks, the left team, and they have Dragic, and they selected Curry. , you are likely to be a head, recognize your position."

The agent's words calmed Beverley, but he still decided to go back to New York, no matter what, he would give it a try!

In his mind, he felt that his chance might really come!

…

No matter what Beverley thinks the draft will continue, and soon, the remaining three spots in the first round will be released, and then it will be time for the second round.

Compared with the first round, the second-round picks are even less concerned, and each team is also going through the motions. For example, Griffin's brother Tyler Griffin is one of the most concerned people in the second round. .

The New York Knicks also selected Danny Green, the No. 3 player from North Carolina, who just won the NCAA championship with the No. 16 pick in the second round. Danny Green, one of the four tigers in North Carolina, has grown long Tone, almost, he felt that he was about to lose his chance to enter the NBA.

Unlike Hansbrough and others who were picked in the first round, Danny Green, a senior, is obviously considered by many teams to have insufficient potential and is not worthy of training in the first round. Even the top 15 teams are too lazy to select him.

But Zuo Li clenched his fist fiercely. Don't treat Tie Lin as dry food. He was only selected in this position. It can only be said that the vision of other teams has really failed. At least 14 years ago, this guy must have been selected. Worth a first round pick!

After the draft, Zuo Li, the team leader, took a group photo with Curry and Danny Green, who had just been selected, with a smile on his face.

Look around, think about Beverley, the Knicks are the biggest winner tonight!
