Chapter 695 [To develop, test patience]

Chandler Parsons was also watching the live broadcast at home, and he was starting to feel lost after the 10th overall pick in the second round.

He doesn't know where his next stop is. Rookies who fall to this position usually have no guarantees, and most of them are passers-by in the NBA.

Suddenly, Parsons heard his name.

The whole family was stunned, and Parsons didn't realize who picked him at first.He hugged everyone around him one by one, then asked his brother, "Where am I going now?"

"Clippers, you're going to Los Angeles! If Jerry Yang selected you by name, you're going to be prosperous!" my brother yelled.

Parsons froze for a moment, then jumped up excitedly. "Hahaha, it's actually the Clippers, I'm going to win the championship!"

When asked where the rookie would like to go, many people will say that Jerry Young's team, especially the second-round rookie, means a life change. It is a magical journey that takes us closer to paradise on earth.

Parsons almost missed out with the Clippers. Yang Rui never expected to select him. He was picked 38th by the Rockets in his previous life, and dropped to 42nd in this life.

The Clippers' goal is to pick a forward who swings at the 3 and 4 positions as a backup for Dunleavy.If Dunleavy is willing to cut salary and renew the contract, it is best to cultivate rookies if he is unwilling to cut salary.

Latvian small forward Davis Bertans is predicted to be selected at the end of the first round. He is 208cm tall, weighs 95kg, and is 19 years old this year. The templates are Austin Daye and Kyle Korver.

He's a very good tall shooter with a textbook jump shot that's high and fast, and the catch-and-shoot after screens is just as sharp.Unlike Novak, he has the ability to create his own chances and attack with the ball, has a good field vision and a good passing ability.

The disadvantage is that he is not fast, needs to add weight, rebounding and defense are his weak points.

It is worth mentioning that Bertans lost the top half of his right ring finger when he was 13 years old. Fortunately, this did not affect his shooting feel.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Bertans didn't sign with the Spurs until 2016, and he had a 40% three-point shooting rate in his rookie season. If he signed for the NBA earlier, Yang Rui felt that he might have a better future.

Now that there are better candidates, Yang Rui will not propose to the management to buy out Berstein Europe's contract and sign it.A change in his mind has affected a player's career.

Chinese fans will not be unfamiliar with Chandler Parson. He is 208cm tall and weighs 100kg. His physical fitness is not very good. The draft template is Luke Walton, who is rated as an all-rounder and has a high basketball IQ.

That's why he's left unnoticed. Walton has played in the NBA for many years, always on the fringes, as a backup.Not aggressive as a scorer, lacks great athleticism and explosiveness, and lacks strength.

Parsons didn't perform as well as Walton, with poor free throws and a measly 55.7 percent from the free throw line as a senior.The defensive ability is also relatively general, playing the 3 position has no speed, and playing the 4 position has no strength.

The reason for Parsons' success is his teamwork and his high IQ, which are not easy to be noticed and discovered during the draft.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Parsons was a wonderful team player and a good playmaker.He doesn't have to be in possession of the ball all the time, he's quick on the ball, and he's very determined when he drives, catches and shoots.

Finally, I would like to add that he is very handsome and can increase the appearance of the team.

The draft continued. Yang Rui wanted to use his team's 60th pick to pick up Isaiah Thomas, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the King.

The Kings traded to the No. 57 pick and selected Thomas.They had asked Thomas for a trial training and were optimistic about his breakthrough ability, so Thomas signed a three-year contract after joining and was reused.However, the Kings already have Irving in this life, and it is questionable how much playing time Thomas can get.

Yang Rui is not depressed. Thomas can only be a marginal person when he joins the Clippers, and is likely to be abandoned.In his previous life, he averaged 2016 points and 17 assists per game in the 28.9-5.9 season, which was a tactical benefit. No team was willing to let a 175CM person be the core. The Green Army sent him away that summer.

Olshey ended up using the 60th overall pick to draft a big man named Art Mayok, and then traded to the Pistons.

The draft is over, and the day to test everyone's patience has come.

On June 6, team directors received a list of people they could not communicate with during the lockout.This includes agents, players' families, players, etc.

The two sides negotiated for three hours, with too many differences. On July 7, the NBA officially shut down.

NBA Commissioner David Stern said: "Thanks to the fans who appreciate the NBA game, the past year has been a great one. However, for the team's owners, even this great season, they are still incompetent. Profitable. Teams in small cities just don’t have that fun. Our goal is to make the league run more cost-effectively and make the league’s 30 teams competitive.”

NBA vice president Adam Silva said: "The just-expired collective bargaining agreement is not a win-win system, and that agreement has resulted in huge financial losses for our team. We need a business model that can continue to grow. , giving all 30 teams a chance to compete for a championship, paying players a fair salary and getting a decent financial return.”

Yang Rui accompanied Scarlett to dub, and was interviewed by reporters in her spare time. The media asked about the shutdown.

Yang Rui said: "I don't know how this happened. I'm just a basketball coach who likes basketball and wants to play a good game. He's cool and fans are cool. I don't think about things outside the game. I have more time to spend with my family, which is not a bad thing for me."

The reporter asked: "The league does not allow you to meet with players on vacation. Does this affect you?"

"Isn't it? Many people say they are waiting to see my child..."

Yang Rui is a minority shareholder of the Clippers, and also belongs to the management, within the scope of not being allowed to contact the players.

The league strictly stipulates that team officials cannot text, call, send emails to players, and cannot interact with players through Facebook, Minions, and Weiwei.The league even checks phone records to make sure no employees, not even wives or girlfriends, have been in contact with the players.

Touching a player in any way will result in a $100 million fine.

The coach and the player met at a restaurant, and the latter found out that the former was in the restaurant and had to leave immediately or risk being fined.

In addition, among the coaching staff of NBA teams, if there are children who play in AUU leagues or colleges, these coaches can only watch their own children's games, not other players' games, let alone train with their children. .Celtics coach Doc Rivers is the "key target" of this regulation.

These regulations will cause a lot of trouble. Paul plans to hold his own wedding in September this year, and he invited Yang Rui to attend. If the NBA is still in a shutdown state by then, then Yang Rui must obtain the approval of the league if he wants to attend Paul’s wedding.

Don't say the NBA's regulations are peculiar, there is indeed the possibility of "collusion".When the two sides are not conceding an inch for the interests of labor and capital, if one party discloses its trump card, it will obviously cause huge loss of interests.

Players can meet each other, and many people have made an appointment to play a streetball league together, and they can also pull people into their own team while ensuring their state.
