Coach, I don't want to retire yet
Chapter 235 The Most Chaotic Draft Competition: Mutual Robbery!
Chapter 235 The Most Chaotic Draft Competition: Mutual Robbery!
With the Lakers' No. 2014 pick Jokic, the No. [-] pick Wiggins fell out of the top five and there were no candidates. The [-] NBA Draft completely exploded.
The 2014 NBA Draft was really an interesting one.
In August 2013, that is, the end of the 8 draft, the American media began to collectively build momentum and announce the 2013 draft predictions.
Of the five most popular players at the time, Wiggins ranked first, and Julius Randle ranked second.
At the time, Wiggins' scouting report looked like this.
With superhuman physical fitness and wingspan, he is a great scorer, and the scoring area covers the entire court.
Whether it is hitting the penalty area or shooting from the outside, they are impeccable, coupled with incredible jumping ability, people can't pick anything that can be questioned.
He's a can't-miss guy like Duncan or James.
As long as he does not suffer from devastating injuries, he will definitely be the No. [-] pick next year.
And Randle's scouting report at the time was.
With a height of 2 meters and a weight of nearly 08 kilograms, Randall already has a body that can immediately adapt to an NBA power forward.
He has enough toughness, can dribble and use his feet to show off in the low post, and can kill opponents in the middle distance at the same time.
With a player like this, opponents have to worry about how to match up with him every night.
Without Wiggins, Randle could be the No. [-] pick any year.
Yes, in any year.
Judging from the draft report at the time, Wiggins was at the level of Duncan, Oden and James, and Randall was at the level of Durant. These two young players are both rookies at the historical level.
These two are like Oden and Durant in 2007, No. [-] and No. [-] in destiny.
Then the NCAA started.
The value of the two fell more and more.
Last year at this time, they were the high-flying rookies of Destiny.
At this time last year, Jabari Parker was third, Marcus Smart was fourth, Aaron Gordon was fifth, and Dante Ike was sixth. Sam.
Before the start of the NCAA, Parker had always been the neglected third under the aura of Wiggins and Randall.
And Smart, the No. 2013 pick in [-], decided to go back to college for another year of sharpening. It would be embarrassing for another year of hardening. The Jazz need a guard and would rather choose Dante Ixum Don't choose him either.
At this time last year, the three most popular rookies, Wiggins, Randall and the 2013 No. [-] pick Smart, had been selected in the top five and had not yet been selected.
At this point, in the hot Barclays Center, Wiggins, Randle and Smart, all trying to keep smiling, but anyone can see from their faces how much they are struggling.
They were the three most popular rookies in the NBA draft a year ago, but now the three of them can't even make it to the top five.
No. [-] pick Jokic, Tanhua Embiid, these two, have you heard of these two a year ago?
Well, Embiid heard about it last year.
At this time last year, Embiid was behind six of them, along with Glenn Robinson III, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Mario Nzaga, Mitch McGregor, Montrezl Harrell , Isiah Austin, Dario Saric, they are mixed together and belong to the potential lottery rookie.
However, it really is a year of change.
The change turned out to be so drastic.
And this is also the interesting and special part of the 2014 NBA draft. Look at the lottery potential rookies who were mixed with Embiid at this time last year. How many are still in the small green room?
Except for Embiid and Saric, everyone else is gone.
Worst of all is Isiah Austin, who retired just three days ago due to 'stable syndrome'.
At this moment, David Stern, the president of the league on stage, took out a very special envelope.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the player selected by the NBA is the center from Baylor University, Isiah Austin!"
After David Stern announced the selection of Austin on behalf of the league, everyone in the entire Barclays Arena stood up and gave a standing ovation.
NBA officials are showing their feelings, and even prepared a special jersey for Austin. Austin also wears a blue hat representing the NBA.
Austin was in tears as he hugged David Stern.
Compared with Austin, Wiggins, Randall and Smart must be lucky.
After this Isiah Austin episode, the NBA draft continues.
"The Boston Celtics' sixth pick in the first round was small forward Andrew Wiggins from Kansas!"
Finally got selected!
Wiggins' mentality really almost collapsed.
Before the start of the draft, he was the favorite for the No. [-] pick, and he was not selected until the sixth overall pick, which was too painful.
This is actually understandable.
2014 is considered the best of the decade.
1-3, Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, are considered to be the No. [-] picks, and they are the No. [-] picks in any year. It just so happened that the three collided together.
And the 4th to 7th place is also recognized as the level of "in any previous year, it will be the second place or third place".
The 1-7 rookies are all so good. Even if Wiggins is more outstanding, he has not reached the level of a higher level. In fact, if it is not injured, Embiid is the one who is a higher level, and then Wiggins , Parker, the two are in the upper half, and then Randall, Aaron Gordon, Exum, and Smart are four.
Therefore, it is actually normal for the previous teams to choose players they are more familiar with instead of Wiggins.
In particular, Coach D's abandonment of Wiggins also caused everyone to panic about Wiggins.
With the right players available, there's no need to bet on a Wiggins who was given up by Coach D for some unknown reason.
Wiggins was chosen by the Celtics with the sixth pick. Except that it was not the No. [-] pick, this is actually a very perfect choice.
The Celtics are the second richest team in the NBA, Boston is a big city, and now the Celtics are also strong, so after being selected by the Celtics, wearing a Boston hat, Wiggins showed a child on his face smile.
And laugh out loud.
This smile is so warm and innocent!
Seeing Wiggins' smile, Du Kang wanted to laugh along with him. This grinning mouth is so contagious!
"Du, why didn't we choose Wiggins, he looks like a very good kid!"
Seeing Wiggins on the stage, Sunshine laughed at this moment, without feigning beeping or resentment, Clifford really fell in love.
In the NBA, there are few black players like Wiggins.
For other black players, the Lakers didn't choose, and they had to diss the Lakers.
Especially now that the team Wiggins is going to is still the Celtics. In order to be able to integrate into the Celtics immediately, not to mention black players, any player will say something about the Lakers, or even scold the Lakers, right?
But Wiggins didn't even mention the Lakers, nor did he say that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi would make the Lakers regret that.
Excellent talent and good personality, isn't this perfect?
Facing Clifford's question, Du Kang didn't even know how to answer it for a while.
Can I say that Wiggins can't even make the top five in the system's draft predictions?
Du Kang didn't know why.
Wiggins' talent is indeed excellent. Du Kang has also seen his video, and his personality is not thorny, but...he did not become the top three players in this session.
Du Kang believes that Wiggins will definitely succeed in the NBA. He has talent, a good personality, and good skills. He will definitely succeed in the future.
Then the only possibility is that it's not that Wiggins is not good enough, but that the players in front of him are too good!
It is precisely because of the weathervane of Wiggins that Du Kang selected Jokic as the best in this system evaluation.
Jokic's talent is so high that he can overwhelm the crowd in the draft where Wiggins can't even rank in the top five.
"Du, for our remaining two picks, you can no longer pick insiders. We need guards and strikers now!"
Of course, there was no need to explain to Clifford what Du Kang did.
Now the whole world must be shocked and puzzled by Coach D's choice, so he is not one more. He also believes that the great Coach D must have his own considerations, but no matter what, as an assistant coach, Clifford feels that he still You need to do your part to remind him.
The Lakers have three first-round picks in this draft.
In addition to the No. 21 pick, he also has his own No. 30 and the Knicks' No. [-].
The Knicks' first-round pick was traded for Howard.
In Howard's deal, the Lakers got two first-round picks from the Knicks.
With these two first-round picks, Du Kang is now considering what to do.
Because he didn't choose Wiggins with the No. [-] pick, there is now a butterfly effect.
Now there are Smart and Randall left.
Du Kang has no idea about these two players. Du Kang is more concerned about his junior in the small green house, Zach Lavin of UCLA University.
Now there are Randall, Smart, Nick Stauskas, Zach Lavin, Gary Harris, Saric, Doug McDermott in the small green room.
LaVine's draft prediction is that the ninth pick will be selected by the 76ers.
But Du Kang got news from the 76ers that they have no interest in LaVine, they have their own ideas.
LaVine's situation is very special. He didn't get the opportunity of the small green house originally, but his performance in Chicago's joint trial training was too good.
According to the data measured by the Chicago United, LaVine's vertical jump reached 105.4 cm, ranking third among the rookies who participated in the body side, and ranked second in the turn-back running time of 2.8 seconds. ) took 10.42 seconds, ranking first.
This kind of trial training performance directly made him counterattack.
At UCLA this season, he was a substitute at the beginning, and then he was promoted to the starting lineup. He struggled, and his performance was not as good as his substitute. As a substitute, no one cares about him and will not target him, but it is not enough to start.
In the next 18 starting games, LaVine's data was very poor. Only 4 games scored in double figures. He averaged 9.4 points and 1.8 assists per game throughout the season, because the confrontation ability was really poor, light and floating, and the offense was all three. Throwing points randomly, almost obsessed with three-point shooting, every 40 minutes he takes 5.7 three-pointers and hits 2.1. ball.
Everyone knows that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, but LaVine is just the opposite. He likes singles and shoots crazy three-pointers in outside singles.
Then, the efficiency of his inside singles is that he can only score 0.59 points per single, and he can hardly score with his left hand.
In addition, LaVine's defense on and off the ball is very weak. He can't fight against strong defenders. What's more worrying is that he is not strong on the defensive end. He often misses people and is easily broken through. .
With this stats and performance, if it weren't for the Chicago United training camp's change of fate, it would not be easy for him to enter the first round of the draft.
However, LaVine's predictions in the system are very high.
Therefore, before he got the No. [-] pick from the Cavaliers, Du Kang's first choice to pick up the leak was always his junior.
The Lakers' own 21st overall pick could have drafted him.
But after the Chicago joint training camp, LaVine's draft pick soared quickly and surpassed his senior Kyle Anderson and others to enter the lottery zone, and also received an invitation from the league's small green room.
This year is the year of the draft, and lottery picks are difficult to trade. If LaVine falls out of the lottery, he will definitely take all the picks to trade all-in to get LaVine.
If LaVine is selected in the lottery, then he can only use plan B.
In this year's draft, there are indeed many opportunities to miss.
For the seventh pick, the Kings did not choose Randall or Smart, but chose Nick Stauskas, a Canadian sharpshooter, NCAA abnormal quasi-accurate, who averaged more than 45% three-pointers per game in his college career.
At the end of the NCAA this year, Stauskas once uploaded a video of himself making 5 of 76 three-pointers in 70 minutes, including 46 shots in a row. Warriors star Curry felt itchy after watching the video.
They even challenged Stauskas via Twitter, which shows his outstanding shooting ability.
In the NCAA season this season, the University of Michigan lost Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Mitch McGarry one after another.
He led the team with a single core, and still led the team to the quarterfinals of March Madness. In the end, they narrowly lost to Kentucky. He performed extremely well, and he himself was awarded the best player in the Big Ten Division.
Compared with the average white pitcher, he is more athletic, so his draft pick prediction has been very stable, among the top ten.
It is the No.1 of this year's Shichibu Kaixia.
It is understandable that the king gave up Smart and Randall of Qibuhai to choose him.
The Bobcats did not choose Smart and Randall of Shichibukai for the eighth pick, but chose Noah Vonleh. This is actually understandable. His draft templates are Chris Bosh and Larry Bird. Bobcats, Jordan, rookies, Larry Bird, you know everything.
Whether you understand it or not, Randall and Smart have not been selected yet, so his chances of getting LaVine seem to have increased!
Du Kang looked forward to it, and quickly assigned tasks to Kupchak.
"Mitch, trade up, lottery first, no lottery, close to the lottery, the higher the pick, the better!"
The draft is still going on.
"With the ninth pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Elfrid Payton, a point guard from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette!"
As soon as the 76ers' choice came out, the entire draft was once again shocked.
Randle and Smart haven't been drafted yet!
Fake!
This is going crazy!
Do the 76ers need a point guard?
With Iverson, do the 76ers need a point guard?
Even if you need it, isn't Smart good?
Although Smart's offense is not so stable, he is extremely aggressive and is the most defensive point guard.
but……
If you want to say that Payton's defense is not as good as Smart, it's hard to say.
Because this year's NCAA Defensive Player of the Year honor "Lefty De Lacey" award is him.
And he averaged 19.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Anyone who knows the NCAA knows how bad this data is.
The data is better than you, the offense is better than you, and the defense can still press you to get the best defensive player.
Hmm... Apart from becoming famous not as early as you, it seems that he is really better than Smart?
Therefore, it seems understandable that Smart was put down by him.
Understanding is understanding. In short, Smart and Randall are really trembling now.
The other five of Qiwuhai have already been selected, leaving only the two of them.
This is so fucking embarrassing!
"With the tenth pick, the player selected by the Denver Nuggets is small forward Doug McDermott from Creighton University!"
The Nuggets like a 2-foot-03 striker, and Doug McDermott is.
Neither Smart nor Randolph Jr. are the Nuggets' favorites.
"No.11 pick, the player selected by the Magic is the European magician from Croatia, Dario Saric!"
After the Magic selected Saric, they immediately exchanged Saric and two draft picks (a 2017 first-round pick and a 2015 second-round pick) for the No. 76 pick of the 9ers, Alfred Payton .
Obviously, the Magic were robbed.
This is also the reason why the 76ers refused when Du Kang asked if he could trade the 9ers' No. 76 pick. They are planning to rob the Magic this year.
Because the Lakers sent Iverson back to Philadelphia, the relationship between the two teams is now very good. In order to prevent Du Kang and the Lakers from misunderstanding, the 76ers told Du Kang about their plan.
Before this draft, fans of the 76ers frantically asked the 76ers to trade their No. 3 pick, trade up the second pick Parker, and the first pick Wiggins.
But the 76ers have been holding back.
They are waiting, they have long been attached to Embiid, Embiid's perfect training in the Cavaliers is not only the Cavaliers, but also the 76ers.
They are willing to wait for Embiid's injury.
Embiid was selected with the No. 9 pick, and the European magician Saric and two draft picks were robbed with the No. [-] pick.
From the perspective of Du Kang opening his eyes through the system, the 76ers this time is a god-level operation.
Nearly perfect operation without the system.
At this moment, Du Kang's cell phone rang.
"Du, the Suns are willing to use their No. 13 pick to trade our No. 21, No. 30 and No. 30 in the second round, as well as the first-round picks in 2015 and 2017!"
According to the market in this year's draft year, and in the case that neither Randall nor Smart were selected, the offer from the Suns is not bad. The Lakers have coach D and Yao Ming, although they hurt Maizi and Kezi. , The first round will not be worth much in the next few years.
Therefore, Du Kang is ready to agree.
Will LaVine, who is above Wiggins, lose out by trading these picks for the system's draft predictions?
It is definitely not a loss!
And almost at the same time.
"Philip, the Celtics rejected our deal!"
Fake!
Hearing the assistant's words, Timberwolves' general manager Philip Sanders looked very ugly. The former Timberwolves head coach and now the Timberwolves' general manager felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He likes Wiggins very much, very much.
He never thought that Wiggins would be selected with the sixth pick in this year's draft!
If I knew Coach D was working again, he would have traded Love for the Celtics' No. [-] pick!
It's a pity that he didn't open his eyes.
As Garnett's mentor, McHale fired him as the Timberwolves coach.
He certainly didn't have a good impression of the Celtics.
But now the situation is stronger than people.
"What did Danny Ainge say?"
"Danny Ainge said, add money ... no, he wants our No. 12 pick."
"It's not..."
Sanders wanted to refuse directly, but in the end, Sanders still didn't say that sentence.
"Philip, Danny Ainge said, missed this draft, and Wiggins will be promoted throughout the league. We have no advantage."
"Fake!"
Danny Angie is such a fucking dog!
If I do business with him again in the future, I'll be a dog!
It's enough for Love to change Wiggins alone.
Need to squeeze all the juice out of your trading partner?
Trading partners are not enemies, but alternative companions.
How did Mr. Jerry West do it?
They are also wealthy managers, why is the gap so big?
Too fucking lacking the bearing of a wealthy family!
"give him!"
"But Philip, what about Zach Raven?"
Sanders' face turned black in an instant. He wanted both LaVine and Wiggins. Wiggins was the master and LaVine was the second master.
If both of them can grow up, the Timberwolves will rebuild in an instant.
But now that Wiggins is gone, LaVine can't be the core of the reconstruction, and it's another Kevin Martin.
Ok?
and many more!
Kevin Martin?
"We can have Kevin Martin!"
The assistant froze.
Kevin Martin is now on a high-quality contract, with an annual salary of less than 700 million, averaging 19 points per game, and making nearly 40% of his three-pointers.
Instant combat power, and it is very suitable for the immediate combat power of Chris Paul and James.
Doesn't this smell better than a No. 12 pick?
Kevin Martin has no place in the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves will rebuild with Wiggins, LaVine and Rubio as the core. Kevin Martin has little meaning to the Timberwolves, but is of great value to the Celtics.
"Philip, Danny Ainge agrees!"
Hearing what the assistant said, Sanders had a very ugly look on his face.
Although Martin's value is not that high for the Timberwolves, who would like to be so controlled by Danny Angie?
And he's not a fool, he still can't understand that Danny Angie's purpose is to pack Love and Martin together.
Those two guys don't make sense for a rebuilding team, but they both mean a lot for a championship contender.
"Danny Angie, you wait for me!"
Philip Sanders looked very ugly.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the player selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 12th pick is a guard from UCLA University, Zach LaVine!"
amount……
Du Kang was stunned.
Robbed?
Or is it LaVine that the Timberwolves have always chosen?
If it's okay to be robbed, you can look at the needs of the Timberwolves.
"Du, the Timberwolves said they didn't mean to rob the Lakers, LaVine is the player they need."
"..."
Du Kang was silent.
Is this the NBA Draft?
Really exciting.
Just one pick gap, you may miss your favorite player.
Du Kang thought of Antetokounmpo last year.
He was one pick higher than the Bucks, which made the Bucks miss Antetokounmpo. The general manager of the Bucks dreamed that the Lakers would trade Antetokounmpo, which was quite disgraceful.
Naturally, Du Kang would not do such a disgraceful thing. Since LaVine is the player that the Timberwolves need, it is useless for him to say more.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
If plan A doesn't work, then plan B.
"Reject the Suns' deal, Mitch, use our No. 30 pick and No. 51 pick in the second round, and try to trade up this year's first-round pick."
Try to increase the order as much as possible, and you can minimize the probability of such exciting things happening.
And on the other side.
"Philip, did you hear that just now? Coach D, the Lakers are asking for Zach LaVine!!!"
"Zak LaVine is the player that coach D is optimistic about!!!"
Philip Sanders certainly heard it.
So he is also very excited now.
As Garnett's mentor, the person who saw through the trial training with McHale that Garnett will definitely take off in the future, his vision is also okay.
But definitely not as good as Coach D!
"Coach D gave up Wiggins, but asked about the price of LaVine. Does this mean that LaVine may be a better player than Wiggins?"
The assistant's words silenced Sanders.
If this is the case, do we still need to spend so much to get Wiggins?
Love and Martin are indeed not that valuable to the Timberwolves, but he doesn't like being so manipulated by Danny Ainge.
Philip Sanders gritted his teeth, and the look on his face became grim.
"Coach D, you seem to have missed the player you want, who is it, can you tell us to make everyone happy?"
Danny Angie, who was sitting not far from Du Kang, noticed Du Kang's situation, and took the initiative to talk to Du Kang.
In tonight's draft, Du Kang cut off his Jokic, and he was very upset.
I have been thinking about whether to find a chance to get back the scene.
Isn't it time to get back to the game now?
Coach D seemed to have missed a certain player, so the look on his face was a little disappointed.
Seeing Coach D like this, he has to let Coach D feel his mood just now, the mood of losing Jokic.
Moreover, before the draft, he told Coach D that Wiggins is a good player.
Coach D told him that Jokic is also a good player.
It's you, and you will also think that there is a ghost in the Celtics, and Coach D robbed him on purpose.
If he didn't rob Coach D's favorite player, he couldn't let it out.
"Coach D, the draft is like this. If it can always be perfect, the NBA will have nothing to do with the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe the Celtics already have [-] championships. Are you right?"
Seeing that Du Kang didn't speak, I was in a good mood. I felt like Danny Ainge, the son of God in this draft, and the yin and yang Du Kang and the Lakers who are still going on.
This is not directly pointing at Du Kang's nose and cursing. If it wasn't for your godfather David Stern to suppress us and get rid of our Duncan and Durant, what would happen to your Lakers.
Return the No. [-] wealthy family, and be your second child in a thousand years!
This made Clifford next to Du Kang a little angry.
But Du Kang narrowed his eyes.
"Danny, do you think you are sure to win?"
"Is not it?"
Danny Ainge smiled.
He lost Jokic, but he is about to get Love + Kevin Martin.
Jokic is good, but Jokic is the future.
In terms of immediate combat power, Love and Martin can become the cornerstone of the Celtic dynasty in the next three years.
At least for the next two seasons, the Celtics are invincible!
You know, Jeff Green, Sullinger, Avery Bradley, these Celtics' high-quality assets have not moved yet.
These people can also be exchanged for a giant, if he wants.
Kevin Martin is considered a half giant, so the Celtics can make four and a half giants to the limit!
That's it.
What do you think the Lakers and Coach D will use to play with him?
And these are all sent by Coach D!
and so!
"Coach D, speaking of which, I still need to thank..."
Before Danny Angie finished speaking, his assistant whispered something in his ear, and then, the expression on Danny Angie's face changed instantly.
Danny Angie, who looked like he wanted to thank Du Kang just now, looked at Du Kang in a different way in an instant.
Angry, angry, that's quite angry, quite angry!
"You didn't miss the player, you deliberately asked for LaVine of the Timberwolves. You know that the Timberwolves want LaVine, and you also know that the Timberwolves want Wiggins!"
Danny Angie was stunned!
He never dreamed that coach D would play like this!
This hand is absolutely perfect!
LaVine's worth exploded instantly.
Wiggins' value plummeted instantly!
At the very least, even if it wasn't a plunge, they would hesitate at the Timberwolves, and it was definitely impossible to send Love and Martin so simply.
At the very least, they will consider trading with the Celtics only after the entire league asks about the price, and there is really no better option than Wiggins.
In the end, it was still difficult for Coach D to stop him from completing the deal with the Timberwolves.
But, this TM is too disgusting, isn't it!
Even James, Paul, and Clifford next to them, looking at Du Kang, have changed.
A person who can make Danny Angie so deflated, like eating a fly, is rare in the entire league!
Coach D, the No. [-] black in the NBA, so terrifying!
Danny Ainge originally wanted to show off his achievements in this draft in front of Du Kang.
In the end, I didn't expect it to become Coach D showing off his resourcefulness and strength.
"Ask Philip Sanders what he wants!"
Danny Angie was really angry after being deflated by Du Kang.
When Du Kang and Danny Angie were PKing each other.
The NBA draft is still going on.
The Suns, who failed to trade with the Lakers, selected Randall of Shichibukai with the No. 13 pick.
The last train in the lottery, Randle never thought that his draft pick would be so low before this draft.
But, it's really good, and it's still in the lottery, which saves face.
So after being selected by the Suns, Randall became the first rookie to speak harshly this year.
"I will make the team that didn't choose me regret it!"
After the Suns, the 14th pick is the Thunder's turn.
The Thunder's draft pick belongs to the Mavericks.
The Mavericks' first-round draft pick was traded to the Lakers in 2011 to trade for Lamar Odom. This draft pick eventually went through multiple hands, including the Rockets and the Thunder, and now it's in the hands of the Thunder.
The Thunder selected TJ Warren with the No. 14 overall pick.
Soon, the Thunder and the Suns traded. The Thunder sent this year's 28th overall first-round pick and TJ Warren to the Suns, and traded for Randall from the Suns.
Randall is the kind of big and small player that the Thunder need to play a big and a small.
The Thunder didn't even think that they would have a chance to get Randall.
Smart is still out.
At this time, Smart thought of many people's names.
Hot as the No. [-] pick, and then keep falling, Jordan, right?
Am I going to be Jordan on the perimeter this year?
Players like Smart are indeed not that popular in the draft, their offense is not so stable, and their defense is very famous.
The point is, what does your NCAA defense have to do with my NBA?
Smart came out of Ohio State University, and Goose City didn't choose him, which made him extremely disappointed.
His draft template is Westbrook, the key is players like Westbrook, um, how should I put it.
Few people dare to say that they use it well. Maybe he will be very good in the future, but this year is the year of the draft, and there are many more stable choices.
So, this energetic combo guard is numb now.
Everyone knows that Du Kang loves Westbrook very much.
Du Kang's favorite player is Westbrook.
If you can get Smart, fine.
Du Kang opened his eyes and knew from the system that Smart did not have the same achievements as Westbrook. Although the ranking is not low, he certainly did not reach Westbrook's level.
But like Jordan loves Bird.
He can also be willful for his own hobbies.
With the No.15 pick, the Eagles selected Adrian Payne.
With the No.16 pick, the Bulls selected Nurkic.
"The No. 17 pick, the Boston Celtics selected a guard from Ohio State University, Marcus Smart!"
Getting Smart still didn't make Danny Angie happy.
Smart is just a rookie. The Celtics originally planned to choose James Young for this pick. His template is James. Now that James is the main player, there is no need for James Young, the little James.
Smart is actually not the player the Celtics desperately need now.
The Celtics have Chris Paul and Avery Bradley on the guard line.
But Smart is the most talented of the remaining players.
If he doesn't choose, he may stay with the Lakers.
This is absolutely not allowed!
The Lakers need a guard like Smart.
Even if the Celtics can't use it, they can't give it to the Lakers!
So after Danny Ainge selected Smart, he took a provocative look at Du Kang.
Losing Smart, is Du Kang disappointed?
Definitely not that disappointed.
"No. 20 first pick, the player selected by the Los Angeles Lakers is a guard from the University of Colorado, Spencer Dinwiddie!"
This choice of the Lakers once again stunned the audience.
Even Danny Ainge froze.
Even in the New Year's draft, after 20 rounds, there are indeed not many good players.
But even if there are no good players, it is not possible to choose someone who has never heard of it?
So, it is completely incomprehensible.
Of course, the 21st pick is not a high pick. Coach D can play whatever he wants.
It's just that Dinwiddie himself in front of the TV is really confused.
In this year's draft, his prediction didn't even have the first round. Coach D actually selected him in the first round, and it was still in the middle of the first round!
"Bobo, Coach D, this is..."
In front of the TV, Budenholzer was very confused, and Popovich was actually very confused.
Everyone knows that Coach D has a good eye.
Both Antetokounmpo and McAway are well ahead of their draft picks.
But this Dinwiddie...
It is indeed somewhat incomprehensible.
He's also a big point guard like McAway.
"Leave Coach D alone, we just need to get the players we want."
The player the Spurs want is Kyle Anderson.
The Spurs also invited Kyle Anderson to try out before, but as a player from UCLA University, he went to watch the Lakers playoffs and was unwilling to come to the Spurs for a tryout.
Although there is no tryout, the Spurs still want him.
It's just that Kyle Anderson is too interested in the Spurs.
The ball business flow is very Spurs style.
Going by Kyle Anderson's draft projections, the Spurs should be able to land him easily.
Because he is really useless except for his golf quotient, and he can't even be said to have athletic ability, he is simply squirming.
It is no problem to say that he is the essence of human creep.
The draft is still in progress.
At this time, it was the turn of the Suns with the 28th overall pick.
The Sun's draft pick was just acquired from the Thunder.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the first pick of the first round of the Suns was a forward from UCLA, Kyle Anderson!"
When David Stern pronounced Kyle Anderson's name, Popovich and Budenholzer thought for a split second that they had misheard.
Isn't it the 29th pick?
The Spurs are the 29th pick, and David Stern read it as the 28th pick, isn't that right?
This is Kyle Anderson, this is not another player, this is a player with no athletic ability at all.
Such a player has a high probability of being undrafted in the NBA, and has already become popular in the second round. In the first round, except for the Spurs, it is impossible for anyone to be drafted, okay?
Soon, the faces of Popovich and Budenholzer in front of the TV became ugly.
"Fack!!! Coach D!!!"
Because at this time the text has already been typed on the TV.
The Suns sent Kyle Anderson to the Lakers in exchange for the Lakers' 30th overall pick in the first round and No. 51 pick in the second round this year.
In other words, they were robbed!
The Spurs were robbed by Coach D and the Lakers!
"Bobo, who do we choose now?"
"Bogdanovich!"
Popovich gritted his teeth.
Why are you gnashing your teeth?
Because Bogdanovic can't come from Europe now!
When Bogdanovic came over, the day lily was cold, and Tim retired!
Coach D!
Falk! ! !
The most chaotic draft in the NBA is over!
However, the entire NBA has just begun to get lively at this time!
Someone opened his bloody mouth!
(End of this chapter)
With the Lakers' No. 2014 pick Jokic, the No. [-] pick Wiggins fell out of the top five and there were no candidates. The [-] NBA Draft completely exploded.
The 2014 NBA Draft was really an interesting one.
In August 2013, that is, the end of the 8 draft, the American media began to collectively build momentum and announce the 2013 draft predictions.
Of the five most popular players at the time, Wiggins ranked first, and Julius Randle ranked second.
At the time, Wiggins' scouting report looked like this.
With superhuman physical fitness and wingspan, he is a great scorer, and the scoring area covers the entire court.
Whether it is hitting the penalty area or shooting from the outside, they are impeccable, coupled with incredible jumping ability, people can't pick anything that can be questioned.
He's a can't-miss guy like Duncan or James.
As long as he does not suffer from devastating injuries, he will definitely be the No. [-] pick next year.
And Randle's scouting report at the time was.
With a height of 2 meters and a weight of nearly 08 kilograms, Randall already has a body that can immediately adapt to an NBA power forward.
He has enough toughness, can dribble and use his feet to show off in the low post, and can kill opponents in the middle distance at the same time.
With a player like this, opponents have to worry about how to match up with him every night.
Without Wiggins, Randle could be the No. [-] pick any year.
Yes, in any year.
Judging from the draft report at the time, Wiggins was at the level of Duncan, Oden and James, and Randall was at the level of Durant. These two young players are both rookies at the historical level.
These two are like Oden and Durant in 2007, No. [-] and No. [-] in destiny.
Then the NCAA started.
The value of the two fell more and more.
Last year at this time, they were the high-flying rookies of Destiny.
At this time last year, Jabari Parker was third, Marcus Smart was fourth, Aaron Gordon was fifth, and Dante Ike was sixth. Sam.
Before the start of the NCAA, Parker had always been the neglected third under the aura of Wiggins and Randall.
And Smart, the No. 2013 pick in [-], decided to go back to college for another year of sharpening. It would be embarrassing for another year of hardening. The Jazz need a guard and would rather choose Dante Ixum Don't choose him either.
At this time last year, the three most popular rookies, Wiggins, Randall and the 2013 No. [-] pick Smart, had been selected in the top five and had not yet been selected.
At this point, in the hot Barclays Center, Wiggins, Randle and Smart, all trying to keep smiling, but anyone can see from their faces how much they are struggling.
They were the three most popular rookies in the NBA draft a year ago, but now the three of them can't even make it to the top five.
No. [-] pick Jokic, Tanhua Embiid, these two, have you heard of these two a year ago?
Well, Embiid heard about it last year.
At this time last year, Embiid was behind six of them, along with Glenn Robinson III, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Mario Nzaga, Mitch McGregor, Montrezl Harrell , Isiah Austin, Dario Saric, they are mixed together and belong to the potential lottery rookie.
However, it really is a year of change.
The change turned out to be so drastic.
And this is also the interesting and special part of the 2014 NBA draft. Look at the lottery potential rookies who were mixed with Embiid at this time last year. How many are still in the small green room?
Except for Embiid and Saric, everyone else is gone.
Worst of all is Isiah Austin, who retired just three days ago due to 'stable syndrome'.
At this moment, David Stern, the president of the league on stage, took out a very special envelope.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the player selected by the NBA is the center from Baylor University, Isiah Austin!"
After David Stern announced the selection of Austin on behalf of the league, everyone in the entire Barclays Arena stood up and gave a standing ovation.
NBA officials are showing their feelings, and even prepared a special jersey for Austin. Austin also wears a blue hat representing the NBA.
Austin was in tears as he hugged David Stern.
Compared with Austin, Wiggins, Randall and Smart must be lucky.
After this Isiah Austin episode, the NBA draft continues.
"The Boston Celtics' sixth pick in the first round was small forward Andrew Wiggins from Kansas!"
Finally got selected!
Wiggins' mentality really almost collapsed.
Before the start of the draft, he was the favorite for the No. [-] pick, and he was not selected until the sixth overall pick, which was too painful.
This is actually understandable.
2014 is considered the best of the decade.
1-3, Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, are considered to be the No. [-] picks, and they are the No. [-] picks in any year. It just so happened that the three collided together.
And the 4th to 7th place is also recognized as the level of "in any previous year, it will be the second place or third place".
The 1-7 rookies are all so good. Even if Wiggins is more outstanding, he has not reached the level of a higher level. In fact, if it is not injured, Embiid is the one who is a higher level, and then Wiggins , Parker, the two are in the upper half, and then Randall, Aaron Gordon, Exum, and Smart are four.
Therefore, it is actually normal for the previous teams to choose players they are more familiar with instead of Wiggins.
In particular, Coach D's abandonment of Wiggins also caused everyone to panic about Wiggins.
With the right players available, there's no need to bet on a Wiggins who was given up by Coach D for some unknown reason.
Wiggins was chosen by the Celtics with the sixth pick. Except that it was not the No. [-] pick, this is actually a very perfect choice.
The Celtics are the second richest team in the NBA, Boston is a big city, and now the Celtics are also strong, so after being selected by the Celtics, wearing a Boston hat, Wiggins showed a child on his face smile.
And laugh out loud.
This smile is so warm and innocent!
Seeing Wiggins' smile, Du Kang wanted to laugh along with him. This grinning mouth is so contagious!
"Du, why didn't we choose Wiggins, he looks like a very good kid!"
Seeing Wiggins on the stage, Sunshine laughed at this moment, without feigning beeping or resentment, Clifford really fell in love.
In the NBA, there are few black players like Wiggins.
For other black players, the Lakers didn't choose, and they had to diss the Lakers.
Especially now that the team Wiggins is going to is still the Celtics. In order to be able to integrate into the Celtics immediately, not to mention black players, any player will say something about the Lakers, or even scold the Lakers, right?
But Wiggins didn't even mention the Lakers, nor did he say that 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi would make the Lakers regret that.
Excellent talent and good personality, isn't this perfect?
Facing Clifford's question, Du Kang didn't even know how to answer it for a while.
Can I say that Wiggins can't even make the top five in the system's draft predictions?
Du Kang didn't know why.
Wiggins' talent is indeed excellent. Du Kang has also seen his video, and his personality is not thorny, but...he did not become the top three players in this session.
Du Kang believes that Wiggins will definitely succeed in the NBA. He has talent, a good personality, and good skills. He will definitely succeed in the future.
Then the only possibility is that it's not that Wiggins is not good enough, but that the players in front of him are too good!
It is precisely because of the weathervane of Wiggins that Du Kang selected Jokic as the best in this system evaluation.
Jokic's talent is so high that he can overwhelm the crowd in the draft where Wiggins can't even rank in the top five.
"Du, for our remaining two picks, you can no longer pick insiders. We need guards and strikers now!"
Of course, there was no need to explain to Clifford what Du Kang did.
Now the whole world must be shocked and puzzled by Coach D's choice, so he is not one more. He also believes that the great Coach D must have his own considerations, but no matter what, as an assistant coach, Clifford feels that he still You need to do your part to remind him.
The Lakers have three first-round picks in this draft.
In addition to the No. 21 pick, he also has his own No. 30 and the Knicks' No. [-].
The Knicks' first-round pick was traded for Howard.
In Howard's deal, the Lakers got two first-round picks from the Knicks.
With these two first-round picks, Du Kang is now considering what to do.
Because he didn't choose Wiggins with the No. [-] pick, there is now a butterfly effect.
Now there are Smart and Randall left.
Du Kang has no idea about these two players. Du Kang is more concerned about his junior in the small green house, Zach Lavin of UCLA University.
Now there are Randall, Smart, Nick Stauskas, Zach Lavin, Gary Harris, Saric, Doug McDermott in the small green room.
LaVine's draft prediction is that the ninth pick will be selected by the 76ers.
But Du Kang got news from the 76ers that they have no interest in LaVine, they have their own ideas.
LaVine's situation is very special. He didn't get the opportunity of the small green house originally, but his performance in Chicago's joint trial training was too good.
According to the data measured by the Chicago United, LaVine's vertical jump reached 105.4 cm, ranking third among the rookies who participated in the body side, and ranked second in the turn-back running time of 2.8 seconds. ) took 10.42 seconds, ranking first.
This kind of trial training performance directly made him counterattack.
At UCLA this season, he was a substitute at the beginning, and then he was promoted to the starting lineup. He struggled, and his performance was not as good as his substitute. As a substitute, no one cares about him and will not target him, but it is not enough to start.
In the next 18 starting games, LaVine's data was very poor. Only 4 games scored in double figures. He averaged 9.4 points and 1.8 assists per game throughout the season, because the confrontation ability was really poor, light and floating, and the offense was all three. Throwing points randomly, almost obsessed with three-point shooting, every 40 minutes he takes 5.7 three-pointers and hits 2.1. ball.
Everyone knows that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, but LaVine is just the opposite. He likes singles and shoots crazy three-pointers in outside singles.
Then, the efficiency of his inside singles is that he can only score 0.59 points per single, and he can hardly score with his left hand.
In addition, LaVine's defense on and off the ball is very weak. He can't fight against strong defenders. What's more worrying is that he is not strong on the defensive end. He often misses people and is easily broken through. .
With this stats and performance, if it weren't for the Chicago United training camp's change of fate, it would not be easy for him to enter the first round of the draft.
However, LaVine's predictions in the system are very high.
Therefore, before he got the No. [-] pick from the Cavaliers, Du Kang's first choice to pick up the leak was always his junior.
The Lakers' own 21st overall pick could have drafted him.
But after the Chicago joint training camp, LaVine's draft pick soared quickly and surpassed his senior Kyle Anderson and others to enter the lottery zone, and also received an invitation from the league's small green room.
This year is the year of the draft, and lottery picks are difficult to trade. If LaVine falls out of the lottery, he will definitely take all the picks to trade all-in to get LaVine.
If LaVine is selected in the lottery, then he can only use plan B.
In this year's draft, there are indeed many opportunities to miss.
For the seventh pick, the Kings did not choose Randall or Smart, but chose Nick Stauskas, a Canadian sharpshooter, NCAA abnormal quasi-accurate, who averaged more than 45% three-pointers per game in his college career.
At the end of the NCAA this year, Stauskas once uploaded a video of himself making 5 of 76 three-pointers in 70 minutes, including 46 shots in a row. Warriors star Curry felt itchy after watching the video.
They even challenged Stauskas via Twitter, which shows his outstanding shooting ability.
In the NCAA season this season, the University of Michigan lost Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Mitch McGarry one after another.
He led the team with a single core, and still led the team to the quarterfinals of March Madness. In the end, they narrowly lost to Kentucky. He performed extremely well, and he himself was awarded the best player in the Big Ten Division.
Compared with the average white pitcher, he is more athletic, so his draft pick prediction has been very stable, among the top ten.
It is the No.1 of this year's Shichibu Kaixia.
It is understandable that the king gave up Smart and Randall of Qibuhai to choose him.
The Bobcats did not choose Smart and Randall of Shichibukai for the eighth pick, but chose Noah Vonleh. This is actually understandable. His draft templates are Chris Bosh and Larry Bird. Bobcats, Jordan, rookies, Larry Bird, you know everything.
Whether you understand it or not, Randall and Smart have not been selected yet, so his chances of getting LaVine seem to have increased!
Du Kang looked forward to it, and quickly assigned tasks to Kupchak.
"Mitch, trade up, lottery first, no lottery, close to the lottery, the higher the pick, the better!"
The draft is still going on.
"With the ninth pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Elfrid Payton, a point guard from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette!"
As soon as the 76ers' choice came out, the entire draft was once again shocked.
Randle and Smart haven't been drafted yet!
Fake!
This is going crazy!
Do the 76ers need a point guard?
With Iverson, do the 76ers need a point guard?
Even if you need it, isn't Smart good?
Although Smart's offense is not so stable, he is extremely aggressive and is the most defensive point guard.
but……
If you want to say that Payton's defense is not as good as Smart, it's hard to say.
Because this year's NCAA Defensive Player of the Year honor "Lefty De Lacey" award is him.
And he averaged 19.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game.
Anyone who knows the NCAA knows how bad this data is.
The data is better than you, the offense is better than you, and the defense can still press you to get the best defensive player.
Hmm... Apart from becoming famous not as early as you, it seems that he is really better than Smart?
Therefore, it seems understandable that Smart was put down by him.
Understanding is understanding. In short, Smart and Randall are really trembling now.
The other five of Qiwuhai have already been selected, leaving only the two of them.
This is so fucking embarrassing!
"With the tenth pick, the player selected by the Denver Nuggets is small forward Doug McDermott from Creighton University!"
The Nuggets like a 2-foot-03 striker, and Doug McDermott is.
Neither Smart nor Randolph Jr. are the Nuggets' favorites.
"No.11 pick, the player selected by the Magic is the European magician from Croatia, Dario Saric!"
After the Magic selected Saric, they immediately exchanged Saric and two draft picks (a 2017 first-round pick and a 2015 second-round pick) for the No. 76 pick of the 9ers, Alfred Payton .
Obviously, the Magic were robbed.
This is also the reason why the 76ers refused when Du Kang asked if he could trade the 9ers' No. 76 pick. They are planning to rob the Magic this year.
Because the Lakers sent Iverson back to Philadelphia, the relationship between the two teams is now very good. In order to prevent Du Kang and the Lakers from misunderstanding, the 76ers told Du Kang about their plan.
Before this draft, fans of the 76ers frantically asked the 76ers to trade their No. 3 pick, trade up the second pick Parker, and the first pick Wiggins.
But the 76ers have been holding back.
They are waiting, they have long been attached to Embiid, Embiid's perfect training in the Cavaliers is not only the Cavaliers, but also the 76ers.
They are willing to wait for Embiid's injury.
Embiid was selected with the No. 9 pick, and the European magician Saric and two draft picks were robbed with the No. [-] pick.
From the perspective of Du Kang opening his eyes through the system, the 76ers this time is a god-level operation.
Nearly perfect operation without the system.
At this moment, Du Kang's cell phone rang.
"Du, the Suns are willing to use their No. 13 pick to trade our No. 21, No. 30 and No. 30 in the second round, as well as the first-round picks in 2015 and 2017!"
According to the market in this year's draft year, and in the case that neither Randall nor Smart were selected, the offer from the Suns is not bad. The Lakers have coach D and Yao Ming, although they hurt Maizi and Kezi. , The first round will not be worth much in the next few years.
Therefore, Du Kang is ready to agree.
Will LaVine, who is above Wiggins, lose out by trading these picks for the system's draft predictions?
It is definitely not a loss!
And almost at the same time.
"Philip, the Celtics rejected our deal!"
Fake!
Hearing the assistant's words, Timberwolves' general manager Philip Sanders looked very ugly. The former Timberwolves head coach and now the Timberwolves' general manager felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
He likes Wiggins very much, very much.
He never thought that Wiggins would be selected with the sixth pick in this year's draft!
If I knew Coach D was working again, he would have traded Love for the Celtics' No. [-] pick!
It's a pity that he didn't open his eyes.
As Garnett's mentor, McHale fired him as the Timberwolves coach.
He certainly didn't have a good impression of the Celtics.
But now the situation is stronger than people.
"What did Danny Ainge say?"
"Danny Ainge said, add money ... no, he wants our No. 12 pick."
"It's not..."
Sanders wanted to refuse directly, but in the end, Sanders still didn't say that sentence.
"Philip, Danny Ainge said, missed this draft, and Wiggins will be promoted throughout the league. We have no advantage."
"Fake!"
Danny Angie is such a fucking dog!
If I do business with him again in the future, I'll be a dog!
It's enough for Love to change Wiggins alone.
Need to squeeze all the juice out of your trading partner?
Trading partners are not enemies, but alternative companions.
How did Mr. Jerry West do it?
They are also wealthy managers, why is the gap so big?
Too fucking lacking the bearing of a wealthy family!
"give him!"
"But Philip, what about Zach Raven?"
Sanders' face turned black in an instant. He wanted both LaVine and Wiggins. Wiggins was the master and LaVine was the second master.
If both of them can grow up, the Timberwolves will rebuild in an instant.
But now that Wiggins is gone, LaVine can't be the core of the reconstruction, and it's another Kevin Martin.
Ok?
and many more!
Kevin Martin?
"We can have Kevin Martin!"
The assistant froze.
Kevin Martin is now on a high-quality contract, with an annual salary of less than 700 million, averaging 19 points per game, and making nearly 40% of his three-pointers.
Instant combat power, and it is very suitable for the immediate combat power of Chris Paul and James.
Doesn't this smell better than a No. 12 pick?
Kevin Martin has no place in the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves will rebuild with Wiggins, LaVine and Rubio as the core. Kevin Martin has little meaning to the Timberwolves, but is of great value to the Celtics.
"Philip, Danny Ainge agrees!"
Hearing what the assistant said, Sanders had a very ugly look on his face.
Although Martin's value is not that high for the Timberwolves, who would like to be so controlled by Danny Angie?
And he's not a fool, he still can't understand that Danny Angie's purpose is to pack Love and Martin together.
Those two guys don't make sense for a rebuilding team, but they both mean a lot for a championship contender.
"Danny Angie, you wait for me!"
Philip Sanders looked very ugly.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the player selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 12th pick is a guard from UCLA University, Zach LaVine!"
amount……
Du Kang was stunned.
Robbed?
Or is it LaVine that the Timberwolves have always chosen?
If it's okay to be robbed, you can look at the needs of the Timberwolves.
"Du, the Timberwolves said they didn't mean to rob the Lakers, LaVine is the player they need."
"..."
Du Kang was silent.
Is this the NBA Draft?
Really exciting.
Just one pick gap, you may miss your favorite player.
Du Kang thought of Antetokounmpo last year.
He was one pick higher than the Bucks, which made the Bucks miss Antetokounmpo. The general manager of the Bucks dreamed that the Lakers would trade Antetokounmpo, which was quite disgraceful.
Naturally, Du Kang would not do such a disgraceful thing. Since LaVine is the player that the Timberwolves need, it is useless for him to say more.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
If plan A doesn't work, then plan B.
"Reject the Suns' deal, Mitch, use our No. 30 pick and No. 51 pick in the second round, and try to trade up this year's first-round pick."
Try to increase the order as much as possible, and you can minimize the probability of such exciting things happening.
And on the other side.
"Philip, did you hear that just now? Coach D, the Lakers are asking for Zach LaVine!!!"
"Zak LaVine is the player that coach D is optimistic about!!!"
Philip Sanders certainly heard it.
So he is also very excited now.
As Garnett's mentor, the person who saw through the trial training with McHale that Garnett will definitely take off in the future, his vision is also okay.
But definitely not as good as Coach D!
"Coach D gave up Wiggins, but asked about the price of LaVine. Does this mean that LaVine may be a better player than Wiggins?"
The assistant's words silenced Sanders.
If this is the case, do we still need to spend so much to get Wiggins?
Love and Martin are indeed not that valuable to the Timberwolves, but he doesn't like being so manipulated by Danny Ainge.
Philip Sanders gritted his teeth, and the look on his face became grim.
"Coach D, you seem to have missed the player you want, who is it, can you tell us to make everyone happy?"
Danny Angie, who was sitting not far from Du Kang, noticed Du Kang's situation, and took the initiative to talk to Du Kang.
In tonight's draft, Du Kang cut off his Jokic, and he was very upset.
I have been thinking about whether to find a chance to get back the scene.
Isn't it time to get back to the game now?
Coach D seemed to have missed a certain player, so the look on his face was a little disappointed.
Seeing Coach D like this, he has to let Coach D feel his mood just now, the mood of losing Jokic.
Moreover, before the draft, he told Coach D that Wiggins is a good player.
Coach D told him that Jokic is also a good player.
It's you, and you will also think that there is a ghost in the Celtics, and Coach D robbed him on purpose.
If he didn't rob Coach D's favorite player, he couldn't let it out.
"Coach D, the draft is like this. If it can always be perfect, the NBA will have nothing to do with the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe the Celtics already have [-] championships. Are you right?"
Seeing that Du Kang didn't speak, I was in a good mood. I felt like Danny Ainge, the son of God in this draft, and the yin and yang Du Kang and the Lakers who are still going on.
This is not directly pointing at Du Kang's nose and cursing. If it wasn't for your godfather David Stern to suppress us and get rid of our Duncan and Durant, what would happen to your Lakers.
Return the No. [-] wealthy family, and be your second child in a thousand years!
This made Clifford next to Du Kang a little angry.
But Du Kang narrowed his eyes.
"Danny, do you think you are sure to win?"
"Is not it?"
Danny Ainge smiled.
He lost Jokic, but he is about to get Love + Kevin Martin.
Jokic is good, but Jokic is the future.
In terms of immediate combat power, Love and Martin can become the cornerstone of the Celtic dynasty in the next three years.
At least for the next two seasons, the Celtics are invincible!
You know, Jeff Green, Sullinger, Avery Bradley, these Celtics' high-quality assets have not moved yet.
These people can also be exchanged for a giant, if he wants.
Kevin Martin is considered a half giant, so the Celtics can make four and a half giants to the limit!
That's it.
What do you think the Lakers and Coach D will use to play with him?
And these are all sent by Coach D!
and so!
"Coach D, speaking of which, I still need to thank..."
Before Danny Angie finished speaking, his assistant whispered something in his ear, and then, the expression on Danny Angie's face changed instantly.
Danny Angie, who looked like he wanted to thank Du Kang just now, looked at Du Kang in a different way in an instant.
Angry, angry, that's quite angry, quite angry!
"You didn't miss the player, you deliberately asked for LaVine of the Timberwolves. You know that the Timberwolves want LaVine, and you also know that the Timberwolves want Wiggins!"
Danny Angie was stunned!
He never dreamed that coach D would play like this!
This hand is absolutely perfect!
LaVine's worth exploded instantly.
Wiggins' value plummeted instantly!
At the very least, even if it wasn't a plunge, they would hesitate at the Timberwolves, and it was definitely impossible to send Love and Martin so simply.
At the very least, they will consider trading with the Celtics only after the entire league asks about the price, and there is really no better option than Wiggins.
In the end, it was still difficult for Coach D to stop him from completing the deal with the Timberwolves.
But, this TM is too disgusting, isn't it!
Even James, Paul, and Clifford next to them, looking at Du Kang, have changed.
A person who can make Danny Angie so deflated, like eating a fly, is rare in the entire league!
Coach D, the No. [-] black in the NBA, so terrifying!
Danny Ainge originally wanted to show off his achievements in this draft in front of Du Kang.
In the end, I didn't expect it to become Coach D showing off his resourcefulness and strength.
"Ask Philip Sanders what he wants!"
Danny Angie was really angry after being deflated by Du Kang.
When Du Kang and Danny Angie were PKing each other.
The NBA draft is still going on.
The Suns, who failed to trade with the Lakers, selected Randall of Shichibukai with the No. 13 pick.
The last train in the lottery, Randle never thought that his draft pick would be so low before this draft.
But, it's really good, and it's still in the lottery, which saves face.
So after being selected by the Suns, Randall became the first rookie to speak harshly this year.
"I will make the team that didn't choose me regret it!"
After the Suns, the 14th pick is the Thunder's turn.
The Thunder's draft pick belongs to the Mavericks.
The Mavericks' first-round draft pick was traded to the Lakers in 2011 to trade for Lamar Odom. This draft pick eventually went through multiple hands, including the Rockets and the Thunder, and now it's in the hands of the Thunder.
The Thunder selected TJ Warren with the No. 14 overall pick.
Soon, the Thunder and the Suns traded. The Thunder sent this year's 28th overall first-round pick and TJ Warren to the Suns, and traded for Randall from the Suns.
Randall is the kind of big and small player that the Thunder need to play a big and a small.
The Thunder didn't even think that they would have a chance to get Randall.
Smart is still out.
At this time, Smart thought of many people's names.
Hot as the No. [-] pick, and then keep falling, Jordan, right?
Am I going to be Jordan on the perimeter this year?
Players like Smart are indeed not that popular in the draft, their offense is not so stable, and their defense is very famous.
The point is, what does your NCAA defense have to do with my NBA?
Smart came out of Ohio State University, and Goose City didn't choose him, which made him extremely disappointed.
His draft template is Westbrook, the key is players like Westbrook, um, how should I put it.
Few people dare to say that they use it well. Maybe he will be very good in the future, but this year is the year of the draft, and there are many more stable choices.
So, this energetic combo guard is numb now.
Everyone knows that Du Kang loves Westbrook very much.
Du Kang's favorite player is Westbrook.
If you can get Smart, fine.
Du Kang opened his eyes and knew from the system that Smart did not have the same achievements as Westbrook. Although the ranking is not low, he certainly did not reach Westbrook's level.
But like Jordan loves Bird.
He can also be willful for his own hobbies.
With the No.15 pick, the Eagles selected Adrian Payne.
With the No.16 pick, the Bulls selected Nurkic.
"The No. 17 pick, the Boston Celtics selected a guard from Ohio State University, Marcus Smart!"
Getting Smart still didn't make Danny Angie happy.
Smart is just a rookie. The Celtics originally planned to choose James Young for this pick. His template is James. Now that James is the main player, there is no need for James Young, the little James.
Smart is actually not the player the Celtics desperately need now.
The Celtics have Chris Paul and Avery Bradley on the guard line.
But Smart is the most talented of the remaining players.
If he doesn't choose, he may stay with the Lakers.
This is absolutely not allowed!
The Lakers need a guard like Smart.
Even if the Celtics can't use it, they can't give it to the Lakers!
So after Danny Ainge selected Smart, he took a provocative look at Du Kang.
Losing Smart, is Du Kang disappointed?
Definitely not that disappointed.
"No. 20 first pick, the player selected by the Los Angeles Lakers is a guard from the University of Colorado, Spencer Dinwiddie!"
This choice of the Lakers once again stunned the audience.
Even Danny Ainge froze.
Even in the New Year's draft, after 20 rounds, there are indeed not many good players.
But even if there are no good players, it is not possible to choose someone who has never heard of it?
So, it is completely incomprehensible.
Of course, the 21st pick is not a high pick. Coach D can play whatever he wants.
It's just that Dinwiddie himself in front of the TV is really confused.
In this year's draft, his prediction didn't even have the first round. Coach D actually selected him in the first round, and it was still in the middle of the first round!
"Bobo, Coach D, this is..."
In front of the TV, Budenholzer was very confused, and Popovich was actually very confused.
Everyone knows that Coach D has a good eye.
Both Antetokounmpo and McAway are well ahead of their draft picks.
But this Dinwiddie...
It is indeed somewhat incomprehensible.
He's also a big point guard like McAway.
"Leave Coach D alone, we just need to get the players we want."
The player the Spurs want is Kyle Anderson.
The Spurs also invited Kyle Anderson to try out before, but as a player from UCLA University, he went to watch the Lakers playoffs and was unwilling to come to the Spurs for a tryout.
Although there is no tryout, the Spurs still want him.
It's just that Kyle Anderson is too interested in the Spurs.
The ball business flow is very Spurs style.
Going by Kyle Anderson's draft projections, the Spurs should be able to land him easily.
Because he is really useless except for his golf quotient, and he can't even be said to have athletic ability, he is simply squirming.
It is no problem to say that he is the essence of human creep.
The draft is still in progress.
At this time, it was the turn of the Suns with the 28th overall pick.
The Sun's draft pick was just acquired from the Thunder.
"In the 2014 NBA draft, the first pick of the first round of the Suns was a forward from UCLA, Kyle Anderson!"
When David Stern pronounced Kyle Anderson's name, Popovich and Budenholzer thought for a split second that they had misheard.
Isn't it the 29th pick?
The Spurs are the 29th pick, and David Stern read it as the 28th pick, isn't that right?
This is Kyle Anderson, this is not another player, this is a player with no athletic ability at all.
Such a player has a high probability of being undrafted in the NBA, and has already become popular in the second round. In the first round, except for the Spurs, it is impossible for anyone to be drafted, okay?
Soon, the faces of Popovich and Budenholzer in front of the TV became ugly.
"Fack!!! Coach D!!!"
Because at this time the text has already been typed on the TV.
The Suns sent Kyle Anderson to the Lakers in exchange for the Lakers' 30th overall pick in the first round and No. 51 pick in the second round this year.
In other words, they were robbed!
The Spurs were robbed by Coach D and the Lakers!
"Bobo, who do we choose now?"
"Bogdanovich!"
Popovich gritted his teeth.
Why are you gnashing your teeth?
Because Bogdanovic can't come from Europe now!
When Bogdanovic came over, the day lily was cold, and Tim retired!
Coach D!
Falk! ! !
The most chaotic draft in the NBA is over!
However, the entire NBA has just begun to get lively at this time!
Someone opened his bloody mouth!
