He just played basketball and became the chosen one.

Chapter 34 034: The Denver Nuggets chose.
In 2003, the San Antonio Spurs broke the Lakers dynasty's dominance of the league.

In the impression of most fans, it seems that the civilian Pistons killed the Lakers F04 in 4, which was the beginning of the collapse of the Lakers dynasty.

But in fact, the Lakers were no longer the championship before the Pistons came.

In the 03 Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs led by Duncan at their peak defeated the Lakers in six games.

There are many reasons why the league's hegemon lost to the Spurs, which can even be traced back to last offseason.

In the 02 offseason, the Sharks, who had already won three consecutive championships, completely let themselves go and postponed the surgery that he was supposed to have started in the offseason until the end of the offseason, causing him to miss the team's preseason training and the previous month's game. .

And in that month, Kobe, who had been restrained, was finally liberated and gained unlimited firing rights, which gave Kobe a taste of the sweetness.

So when O'Neal came back, Kobe, who was already ready to make a move but had tasted the sweetness, no longer wanted to give up his position.

People, it is easy to upgrade consumption, but it is difficult to downgrade consumption.

People who have experienced eating eighteen kinds of fruits every day will find it difficult to go back to a life where they can only rely on the lady on their right every day.

Similarly, Kobe, who has experienced unlimited firepower, will find it difficult to be willing to only play support.

The conflict between the two became irreconcilable.

It rained all night, and when Kobe and the Sharks were having a heated argument, the locker room controller, Zen Master, was absent due to kidney stone surgery, which turned the entire locker room into chaos.

The team atmosphere was completely destroyed.

In the playoffs, Jackson was absent again because he had to undergo heart surgery.

Moreover, the role players are all lifeless due to their aging and the poor atmosphere in the locker room.

Horry, who has high hopes, actually made 18 of 0 three-pointers in the series against the Spurs.

Fox, another important substitute, only thinks about going to the San Fernando Valley to shine in the art industry, and he doesn't have basketball in his heart at all.

On the other hand, with the Spurs, every role player can stand up, and the whole team is full of vitality.

The most critical point is that the giant man with an oriental face at the end of the Spurs bench is a huge deterrent to the Lakers, especially the Sharks!

Even if he just sat there, Shaq was panicking.

There is a hidden intention, and the Spurs have long been destined to win the championship.

The Lakers dynasty collapsed overnight, and Tim Duncan once again proved that he will become the best player of this era.

But at this time, Duncan would never have imagined that in half a month, a new group of opponents would flood into the league and completely change the league's structure!

After the season, the 2003 NBA draft was the most discussed by fans.

This may not be the most valuable draft in history. After all, Olajuwon, Barkley, and Jordan were among the top picks in that draft.

But this is definitely the most high-profile draft in NBA history.

Before the draft, the names of Ryan, James and Anthony were already resounding around the world.

Especially Ryan, who won the Dream Team after graduating from high school, had an undefeated record in the NCAA and won the championship as a freshman, and was the first to sign a 1.2 million sneaker endorsement contract before even playing in the NBA.

He is making big news every day and has long become a superstar in people's hearts.

Some people want to see him become the number one pick, while others want to see him become a joke.

But regardless of whether he is a true fan or a negative fan, at least Ryan's traffic is indeed unmatched by other rookies in history.

For a time, people were looking forward to Ryan's performance in the joint trial.

However, Ryan's agent Leon Rose announced: "Ryan will not participate in the joint trial, and we only accept trial invitations from the top three teams."

How confident is this?Leon Rose’s words are equivalent to telling the entire league:

"Please, we are talking about a super talent. Teams outside the top three, please don't join in the fun. There is no need. You can't pick him anyway."

This wave of rhetoric caused Ryan to be heavily marketed before the draft.

Cleveland fans laughed at that time:
"Look, he's been dragged so hard that he hasn't even participated in a trial training yet. Hey, it sounds like the top three teams will definitely invite him to trial training. We, the Cavaliers, are disdainful. Who has never seen a super genius? "

Then the next day's Kacun newspaper: "The Cavaliers officially invited Ryan to participate in a trial!"

fan:.
Some men cursed, "This woman is so sexy, only a fool would find her like this."But if I really have the chance to own it, I really can’t put it down!

Although the Cavaliers' first target is still James, although the possibility of the Cavaliers selecting Ryan in the third place is very low.

But... after all, there is still a slight chance to get it!

And every team that has tried out Ryan is intimidated by his nearly full body.

In terms of static talent, Ryan's current height without shoes has reached 2 meters, not the 03 meters measured when he was a freshman.

Secondly, people were surprised to find that Ryan had reached 110 kilograms!

This is the result of Ryan's pre-draft training. He has been putting on weight and building muscle to prepare for the more intense NBA.

Now, with his body, he can play in the NBA without any problems.

Although his weight increased, Ryan's jumping, speed and other abilities were still outstanding during the dynamic test session.

Previously, teams could only judge Ryan's talent by "looking at it."

But after trial training and detailed testing, to borrow a sentence from an ESPN reporter:
"Almost every team management who has tried out Ryan believes that Ryan's talent is underestimated."

The world was in an uproar, and Ryan's talent was already visible to the naked eye.After the trial training, he actually came to the conclusion that he was "underestimated"?

Damn it. How terrible are his trial results?
I don’t know how terrible the results were, but in order to further verify Ryan’s ability, Nuggets boss Kroenke asked last season’s Nuggets scoring champion Juwan Howard to take some time out to have a simple one-on-one with Ryan.

Uncle Huo refused on the grounds that "the neighbor's wife next door gave birth to a child."

Damn it, can Uncle Huo go?He has become a free agent this summer, and the contract amount has not yet been determined.

If this guy loses to a college student in a duel, will I sign a new contract?

After this incident was revealed, Juwan Howard was speechless in an interview:

"I told you that the neighbor's wife gave birth to a child that looks like me, so I don't have time to go. Don't spread rumors. I'm definitely not afraid of Ryan so I don't go for a duel!"

NBA players losing to student players is nothing new.

But NBA players don't dare to face student players. This is the first time in history.

This wave of hype that "Lyan has shocked NBA players" has made the call for Ryan to become the No. [-] pick even louder.

Uncle Huo was convinced. He didn't dare to challenge the matter, and he didn't even know how it was leaked out.

All I can say is that Wesley’s hands and eyes are astute.He knows all the troubles happening in the alliance.

The greatest agent of the last century, Falk, who once served Jordan, once said:

"Leon Rose? That guy has no skills. The reason why he has been able to rise in the agent field in a short period of time is all because of Wesley behind him!"

In short, people's expectations for the 03 draft have been pushed to the top.

Although Nike is also crazily marketing Ajan, under Wesley's operation, Ryan is still the one with the highest traffic.

Not only North America, but Chinese fans are also paying attention to this year's draft.

Last year, Yao Ming made the NBA more popular than ever in China.

So this year, there are countless people paying attention to Ryan's draft.

In this way, time quickly came to June 6th, the draft day!
Madison Square Garden was bustling with activity, as fans from all over the country gathered here to witness the team make a choice that would change the history of the franchise.

Before the draft begins, TNT TV station is still making predictions.

Kenny Smith said bluntly: "Ryan is not necessarily the No. [-] pick. After all, he has shortcomings. His passing and controlling ability is not as good as LeBron's, and his versatility is a bit worse."

Barkley laughed like a pig: "If O'Neal goes to play in the high school league, he can also become the most accurate three-point shooter! Come on Kenny, are you talking about the passing and controlling ability of the high school league? Ryan, but the reality is that the NCAA A season of unbeatable wins and a championship!”

"But you have to admit that as a player who mainly plays the third position, his ability to hold the ball is indeed too weak."

Barkley and Kenny Smith were arguing endlessly, and fans were also discussing wildly:
"The number one pick must be James! He has more potential!"

"That's almost it. Anthony's skills are the best and most mature among the three. Even fools know that he should be selected as the number one pick!" "Don't brag about these useless things. Let me ask you, which NBA star is afraid of James and Anthony? But there are NBA stars who dare not challenge Ryan in a duel!
Don't worry, if the Nuggets don't take Ryan with the No. [-] pick, Denver fans will blow up the Pepsi Center the next day! "

Of course, there is also Nike using commercial means and using some media to suppress Ryan:

"I have never seen an outside core who can't hold the ball and attack. Ryan has no future in the NBA. LeBron is different. He is a combination of Jordan and Magic!"

"Ryan may enter the All-Defensive First Team, but he will never become an MVP. LeBron is different. He will definitely be an MVP-level player in the future."

"Ryan? I'm not saying he's bad, but he's just a senior blue-collar guy.

Who would use the No. [-] pick to select a version of Artest with a normal IQ? "

It can only be said that capital recognizes money but not people.Nike was still kneeling down to lick Ryan before, but now it is starting to go dark.

But Wesley believes these remarks will have no impact on Lane.

Compared with those previous achievements, this smear is completely insignificant.

Amid worldwide discussion, the rookies began to enter the small green room, with anxiety and nervousness written on everyone's face.

James and Anthony are no exception.

They all hope that they can become the number one pick, but they are completely unsure.

Everyone is on tenterhooks, holding on to medicine for heart disease, waiting for the draft to begin.

Only Ryan, when he entered in a black suit, there was no nervousness on his face, only confidence and calm.

He holds a 1.2 million endorsement contract, and he has a trial performance that amazed everyone. He feels that he has nothing to worry about.

When reporters interviewed James, James said: "I hope the Nuggets will really consider me."

When reporters interviewed Anthony, Anthony said: "I hope I can be selected first."

But when interviewing Ryan, Ryan said: "I have nothing to be nervous about. I know what kind of pick I deserve."

Ryan's confident aura simply overwhelmed the other two.

After taking their seats, Ryan and Angua hugged and chatted for a while.

Anthony's body was trembling: "Ryan, why aren't you nervous at all!"

"There's nothing to be nervous about. No matter how bad you are, you won't fall out of the top three."

"That's right, that's right. No matter how bad you are, you won't fall into the top three."

Wade also came over: "Ryan, why are you sitting so far forward?"

"Of course it's convenient for me to go out when the first one reads my name."

Ajan had been watching Ryan silently from behind, clenching his fists nervously.

Hey, your name is the first one that comes to mind?

It’s not certain who will be thought of first!

Previously, the Nuggets told James' team that they would seriously consider Ajan.

What does this mean?It shows that Ryan is not so stable!

From that nationally televised high school game to now, Arjan has been overwhelmed by Ryan.

I thought I could overtake Ryan once I got the 9000 million sneaker contract.Unexpectedly, Ryan actually signed a contract worth [-] million yuan.

All this time, Arjan has been suppressed.

Today, Ajan believes that the day has finally come for him to make a comeback!
Nike thinks so too. If James becomes the No. [-] pick, the popularity will undoubtedly overtake Ryan.

When the time comes, Nike will step on Reebok and let him call him daddy!

The draft began soon, and David Stern took the stage and gave a simple speech.

At this time, in the Nuggets' box, their phones were buzzing.

The unwilling old Logo said directly: "You can choose the whole team, including Gasol, and any subsequent draft picks. I only want Ryan!"

This price is still very attractive, after all, Gasol and Battier are very good players.Moreover, it is foreseeable that the Grizzlies' performance in the next few years will not be very good, and the draft pick will definitely be valuable.

In addition, the Sonics are willing to directly package Ray Allen and Lewis.

The Nets said that except for Kidd, everyone can choose at will.

The Celtics directly took out Pierce, who averaged 25.9 points per game last season, and directly traded the star player for Ryan!
The general manager of the Nuggets and former Nuggets legend Kiki Vandeweghe is dazzled.

The entire league puts their beauties in front of them and chooses them at will. The golden club you mentioned before probably feels like this, right?

This was the first time he had seen so many drool-worthy offers come to his door.

It's just that all the offers come in the hope of getting the No. [-] pick to draft Ryan, and no team hopes to trade the No. [-] pick to draft James.
Fortunately, the Katsumura fans didn't know this, otherwise they would be pissed to death.

Kiki Vandeweghe looked at Stern who was still speaking on TV and touched his chin.

People like Pierce, Ray Allen, Gasol and others are all determined to be stars in the NBA.

As for Ryan, no matter how talented he is, he is still a lottery ticket. Whether he can win or not is another question.

But once this lottery ticket is really drawn out, the amount will be immeasurable.

One side is 100 million, and the other side may be several hundred million or nothing.

Kiki Vandeweghe never thought that one day he would fall into such sweet happiness.

After Stern finished speaking, he was about to announce the first and most high-profile result!
The Celtics are full of confidence. Pierce is already a superstar. Replacing the No. [-] pick won't be a big problem, right?

The Sonics are also very confident. Ray Allen + Lewis, I have given you my best players. Can you bear this?
Stern took the stage, smiling.

Both Anthony and James closed their eyes, as if breathing was becoming difficult.

Only Ryan, sitting confidently in his seat, awaiting the results.

"The Denver Nuggets selected him with the first pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft."

James felt the air solidify, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Anthony felt like time stopped, because Stern's pause seemed as long as decades.

What was Ryan doing when these two were on edge?

Ryan stood up half a second before Stern read his name!

Just as people marveled at Ryan's confidence, Stern also pronounced the name:
".Choose Ryan, from the University of Wisconsin, from China!"

The ESPN commentator shouted excitedly:

"Ryan! It's Ryan! It's indeed him!

He stood up early, which represented his confidence!

He was indeed the No. 2003 pick in the [-] draft!He is the undisputed number one pick in the draft!

Ladies and gentlemen, a legend begins! "

At the scene, the cheers of Denver fans seemed to drown out the entire New York.

Countless Chinese fans are also cheering at home. For two consecutive years, Chinese players have become the top picks in the draft, and the NBA is just like that!

The Kacun fans were happy and ashamed at this time. What was happy was that they had the opportunity to get Ajan.

What's shameful is that Arjan Nuggets, whom they regard as a god, actually looks down on him?
What do you mean?
Azhan clenched his fist unwillingly, lost again, lost again!When can I beat him again? ?

Nike was also helpless. They smeared Ryan for a long time before the draft, but it was useless.

It seems that we will have to increase our efforts to praise Azhan in the future!
It’s just that Nike and Ajan don’t know yet that Ryan becoming the No. 03 pick in the [-] draft is just the beginning of their long nightmare.
