NBA选秀:易建联第六顺位被雄鹿队选中
[ 2007-06-29 08:56 ]

2007年选秀大会上,中国球员易建联在第六顺位被密尔沃基雄鹿队选中。据悉,雄鹿队一直对易建联很感兴趣,其球探在过去四年已经考察过易建联超过20次。

The Milwaukee Bucks have drafted Yi Jianlian, a power forward from China, with the No. 6 pick in yesterday's NBA Draft.

The 7-foot power forward will be the fourth Chinese player to make the NBA, but there's no guarantee he'll make the same impact as Yao Ming, selected by the Houston Rockets with the first pick in 2002.

Questions about his defense, strength and age surround Yi Jianlian, who has been protected by his handlers who wanted him in a city like Chicago, Los Angeles or the Bay area.

Yi has been in the United States for several weeks adjusting, and unlike the three Chinese who played before him, he was on hand to witness his selection.

"I played for a national team for a couple of years, I think I'm ready," Yi said immediately after the pick.

Yi has a deft shooting touch from the wing, soft hands and an athletic body, which is compared to Pau Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Bucks, who have watched Yi over the last four years during the course of his development, are taking a gamble that Yi won't do what Fran Vazquez did.

Vazquez, the Magic's top draft pick in 2005 and 11th overall, was expected to make an immediate impact but surprised the club after the draft by choosing to remain in Europe.

Yi played on China's 2004 Olympic team and the 2006 world championship team. This season, he averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds in the Chinese Basketball Association with the Guangdong Tigers.

The Bucks don't pick again until No. 56, which is the 26th pick in the second round.

Greg Oden was the No. 1 pick by Portland, and Kevin Durant went No. 2 to Seattle.
