I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 263 The upcoming talent show, it will be you!
"First of all, I would like to congratulate the Bucks for winning the championship again!
The next thing I want to ask is, are you doing what the outside world says?

Deliberately lost G4 and G5 games, only to return to Milwaukee for G6 and win the championship under the witness of tens of thousands of fans at home? "

The Bucks led by He Li successfully defended the championship, and interviews after the game must be unavoidable.

As the head of the team, He Li must also dress up to attend.

"We tried our best. Winning the championship is what we need to do. As for how to win, this is achieved by the joint efforts of the players and coaches."

Bucks general manager Ernie Grunfeld said.

The Bucks are very clear inside. After three consecutive victories, in order to ensure the home championship, live up to the fans and live up to Milwaukee, they deliberately lost two games.

But for the public, even if this is true, the Bucks cannot admit it.

Although the NBA is a commercial league, basketball games are, after all, competitive events.

In the playoffs and finals, players are all here to win.

If you deliberately lose the game for some purpose, not only does it not conform to the professional ethics of a professional player, but it is more likely to have other hidden dangers in the future.

For example, betting on football, or even manipulating the game.

Even in the United States these days, sports betting is not legal.

People have no bottom line. Once you take the first step, there is basically no way to turn back, especially when huge interests are involved.

This time, He Li and others were fine. After all, the Bucks won in the end and won the second championship.

He Li and others did not gain much benefit from this, but they just wanted to give back to the fans and bring them more surprises.

But then again, He Li and others took a lot of risks for the team and the fans, and finally succeeded, but they couldn't make it public.

Therefore, it was the general manager of the team who spoke this time, not He Li, the head of the team, or George Karl, the head coach of the team.

"May I ask He Li, what do you think about leading the team to the finals for two consecutive seasons, winning two championships and being the MVP of the finals?
Now is it okay to talk about your dominance in the league?

In the second grade, you are no worse than Shaquille O'Neal, and you are even stronger than him!

This is what I think, do you think so too? "

Media people like to create topics. Not long ago, Jordan just retired, and now the Bucks have just won the third championship in team history. Today, there are reporters digging holes for He Li.

This is like a beggar asking Huo Yuanjia: "When were you No. 1 in Jinmen?" Almost, He Li is being asked now: "When did you become No.[-] in the league?"

Regarding this situation, He Li couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't have the nickname king, and I don't brag about myself. I always call myself king!"

Considering that the little emperor is about to enter the league, and now he is favored by many big bosses who have retired from the league, He Li will not make these jokes in public.

He Li kept the words in his heart, and just had fun with himself.

The topic of League No.1, whether it is history or active duty, is talked about by others.

It is meaningless to start a media company to build momentum.

Even though He Li has now invested in Jeff Austin's company, He Li has the ability and an agent to establish a good relationship with other media, but He Li did not do so.

Be more confident, and listen to everyone affirming you from the heart, praising, boasting, and worshiping, isn't it good?

Touching Jordan with the power behind him, isn't it the same as Du Xiaoshuai talking to someone with a trumpet?
Already lacking in confidence, he lacked confidence and was incompetent and furious.

"As everyone said, we've had two championships, I've been successful, we've been successful.

I think this success and the honors I have achieved in these two seasons are inseparable from my team, including teammates, team coaching staff, and uniforms.

You can't attribute all the credit to me just because I won the finals MVP. This is one-sided and unfair.

Of course, I also want to thank everyone for their love for me.

But I can only say that we won the championship because we are the best team.

Not because I'm No. 1 in the league, no, that's not the case at all. "

Humility makes people progress, pride makes people lag behind.He Li has received such education since he was a child.

Of course, a rookie in the second year, already two championships, with FMVP in hand, He Li will inevitably be proud.

What I said just now has a bit of Versailles flavor.

In fact, He Li's polite words were indeed a little too much.

He Liming knew that in a short time, the Bucks' championship team would be dismantled, and teammates who had made great contributions in two consecutive seasons would be sent away for draft picks or other bargaining chips.

But before his teammates leave, He Li still has to leave a good impression on everyone. At least on the surface, he is still the team, selfless, and the Bucks leader He Li who values ​​his teammates.

Closer to home, He Li really had a great time pretending to be B in the post-match interview.

But just after the celebration of the championship parade, I sat down with the management to discuss the next season's signings, lineup construction, and the next most important draft.

Usually a week after the finals, the draft will be held.

The Bucks ended their championship celebrations here, and there are only a few days before this year's draft.

As for this year's joint trial training, the team's trial training has actually already ended.

Because the Bucks were still actively preparing for the playoffs and the finals before, the Bucks were only led by the general manager and assigned some scouts to inquire about the news, which ended the pre-draft preparations in a rather crude way.

Even during the team's trial training, in order to avoid interfering with the team's training plan and affecting the team's record, the rookies who signed up for this draft were invited to the Bucks for testing during the away game time.

If you were the leader of another team, you definitely don't know how to "grab people" in the next draft.

But for He Li, he already knew the first-line intelligence of this draft.

"Dwyane Wade, I think he's pretty good." He Li slapped Wade's scouting report on the conference table.

"He doesn't seem to be very smart, and he has potential injuries." A scout said truthfully.

The Bucks scouts do not deny that Wade has excellent physical fitness and extraordinary athletic ability. Wade has a good draft prospect.

However, in the current meeting, the first discussion is the high-ranking picks in the first round of this year's draft.

That's right, the Bucks are going to trade the Big Dog or Ray Allen for this pick.

With such a high first-round pick, choose a short shooting guard who can't play as a freshman because of his poor academic performance, who is suspected of having a flawed IQ, and also has a meniscus removed?
If it wasn't He Li who expressed his opinion, everyone here might have to ask the security guard to ask someone out.

This year is the year of the draft, and the value of draft pick transactions is high.

Usually ordinary stars can only be traded to relatively late lottery picks in the draft year.

All-Star players who haven't proven themselves in the playoffs can be traded to mid-lottery picks.

Only All-Star players who have achieved results in the playoffs can be exchanged for high-ranking lottery picks.

Take the case of the Lakers trading All-Star center Divac in 96 to trade No. 13 rookie Kobe from the Hornets. At the beginning of the trade, it was the Hornets who took advantage.

Although Kobe was a lottery pick in the draft year, he was only a low lottery pick at No. 13.

If it weren't for the Lakers to clear up salary space and make room for O'Neal's arrival, they would definitely not sell Divac, an already All-Star center, so easily.

Of course, except for Opening the Sky Eye.

It is said that now, the Bucks have reached the time when they need to make a choice like the Lakers.

The Bucks can continue to strive for three consecutive championships with the current lineup.

But how difficult it is, no one knows.

At this time, the good news is that this year is recognized as a big draft year, and there is no small chance to hit big luck without opening your eyes.

Therefore, it is understandable for the Bucks to use their existing assets to fight for the future.

In the Bucks, the main ones who can be used as trading chips for draft picks are Big Dog and Ray Allen.

These two are both All-Stars and the core players of the championship team. Now they are at their peak, and the transaction value is extremely high.

Of course, Reed and Cassell can also be used as bargaining chips, but after all, they are cheap and do not conflict with He Li's position and function.

So the Bucks still need to keep them to ensure the possibility of winning the championship in the next few seasons.

Having said that, the deal between Big Dog and Ray Allen is worth a lot. They are not only strong, but also have the ability to be the masters of the playoff team, or the second and third masters of the championship team.

It is this adaptability that makes them more tradeable.

But the problem is that even if the Bucks sell them together, it will be difficult to exchange for this year's No. [-] pick, No. [-] pick, and third pick.

Speaking of it, He Li is still too buggy. He Li relied on his own power to increase the value of the league's overall forwards.

The potential value of forward players who are about to enter the league has also increased sharply.

Coincidentally, Anthony and James, the top picks this year, are forward players.

And he is also a "Little He Li" with excellent physical fitness and excellent shooting ability. He participated in the draft at the age of 18 with great potential.

In addition, Milicic, a European player who came out of nowhere, is also an 18-year-old striker.

He also has excellent athletic ability and good shooting potential, but he also has better static talent than He Li.

This makes the draft, which was originally a draft year, more attention and discussion.

Just imagine, which team is really lucky to get the second He Li in this draft, it is really a dream that can wake up with a smile.

In fact, there is no need to fantasize about leading the team to win the championship in the first year of the rookie. As long as the rookie can lead the team to win the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals in the fourth year of his rookie, then he will be very popular.

After all, nearly half of the league's teams don't even have Eastern or Western champions.

It is because of the recognition of He Li's strength that the standard of the top pick in the draft has changed from "choose Joe with Joe, and pick Shark without Joe" to "choose He Li with what power".

It just so happens that this year's draft year, the top picks are all forward players of the peerless wizard level.

This makes this year's top three picks even more precious, enough to be described as priceless.

It is worth mentioning that the top three picks this year are the Cavaliers, Timberwolves, and Grizzlies.

After trading Garnett, the Timberwolves, who were rotten, have the worst record in the league, but somehow, Stern is more optimistic that the Cavaliers have their "life".

Originally, He Li expected the little emperor to become the new wolf king, but now he can only say it's a pity.

But getting the second pick is not bad for the Timberwolves, but I don't know who will be the unlucky one.

"Is it Anthony?" He Li also thought so.

If the No. [-] pick is not won by the Cavaliers, and the other teams that won the No. [-] pick will definitely choose Anthony, who won the NCAA championship with the freshman team.

Anthony did not behave like a rookie in college. Like the big dogs in college, he has mastered all offensive skills before entering the league.

Although the Big Dog is invincible in college, averaging 30+ per game, it took the Big Dog three seasons to do it all.

As soon as Anthony entered college, he had already scored 20+ points. The key is to lead the team to win the championship.

Reminiscent of He Li entering the league with the key experience of the state championship, he is both a rookie and an immediate combat power.

And because of the championship experience, it is also a matter of course that he can stand up to the big scene of the playoffs and finally lead the team to win the championship.

Anthony's physical fitness is not bad, and his offensive skills are full. Compared with He Li, he is only seven or eight centimeters behind in static data.

Although James is also this type.But the problem is that there are hundreds of state championships in the United States every year, but only a dozen NCAA championships.

Anidon is another one out of ten, a champion core player who strives for perfection.

In addition, from the perspective of technical mastery, Anthony appears to be more mature and competitive.

But to say a thousand dollars and ten thousand, the number one lottery is still in the hands of the Cavaliers.

Then, Wolf King Anthony, you can look forward to it.

As for the lottery pick, although the Grizzlies got it.

But because there has been a deal with the Pistons before, as long as it is not the No. [-] pick, a deal for this year's draft pick will be reached.

Therefore, this time the No. [-] pick will eventually fall into the hands of the Pistons.

Perhaps, Milicic cannot escape the fate of parallel imports...

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the third pick is really impossible to change, He Li still has the idea of ​​​​saving Milicic.

Milicic increases shooting, support, and organizational training, which is Jokic.

Just relying on physical talent is also the same as the general and Brother Antetokounmpo.

Even if the will is not firm and he falls before reaching the peak, no matter how bad he is, he is Wen Baker.

Even the No. [-] pick in the first year of the draft is not considered water.

However, the Bucks have been in contact with other teams in a short period of time, and the one who can't trade for the top three picks is slightly more likely to be the Nuggets' No. 5 pick in the first round.

It is worth mentioning that the Heat, which also performed poorly last season, only had the No. 8 pick in the first round.

He Li thought that even if Riley, the magician, really saw the talent and ability contained in Wade's body, he might have to fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain, and be cut off by He Li.

It is said that He Li raised the value of forwards, which naturally made the market of shooting guards drop a little compared with the same period last year.

As long as the Bucks can trade the expected draft pick, then it will not be a problem to win Wade in the next draft.

"With the Dog and Ray out next season, we need to have a good backup for Michael.

I don't know if Michael will be complacent because of the big contract and two more championships, lacking the desire to win.

I think we still need to use a high-ranking potential rookie to motivate him.

Another point is that Ray's departure will allow Michael to take on more responsibilities and work on the team. Michael needs to open up space for me in the corner.

And when the team has a very good offensive space, Dwyane Wade, who is good at breakthroughs, will be a very important part of the team. "

In order to convince everyone, He Li still gave a superficial answer.

As for the reason why He Li convinced himself to choose Wade, it is naturally because Wade likes to play brother basketball so much, and is willing to hand over the FMVP to the second-in-command of the super giants. No super giant will not like it.

Compared with the Bucks management worrying about Wade's potential injury, He Li is actually more worried about his second-in-command next season-Reed.

In He Li's memory, Reid seemed to be injured once and then fell instantly.

And his future second-in-command, Wade, fell and fell in the finals, but still got up unharmed, and then made a breakthrough with arrogance, and willingly fed the ball and scored points for his first-in-command.

"It's so licking and comfortable! This wave must be given 9 points!"
