Chapter 195 Li, who do you want to choose?

There are many powerful players in this year's draft, such as the North Carolina Blackhawk Barnes. The Wolves hold the No. 3 pick and have a great chance to select him.

Kahn is very satisfied with Barnes' scouting report. After Elvis Gerrard's contract expires, the team needs a talented wing player to play support beside Li Yu.

I heard that Barnes and Lee are old acquaintances?Kahn was a little tangled in his mind, should he use the No. 3 pick to make a deal, or take a gamble on the rookie?
He called Li Yu and wanted to hear Li Yu's opinion.

This trader, who was often confused before, has tasted the sweetness from Li Yu and trusts him very much.

To put it bluntly, Love is only the boss in name, and the real leader of the team is Li Yu, and this is his team.

That's why Kahn wanted to discuss with Li Yu, wondering if the other party had a favorite partner.

Kahn can ask in this way, but Li Yu did not intervene in the management and operation of the team. He is very clear about his identity, and he intervenes in management affairs without enough right to speak, so he must not be hated to death.

Regarding Kahn's request, he only said one sentence: "Trading needs to be cautious."

As for whether Kahn listens or not, he doesn't care. Anyway, regardless of the team, whether to trade the No. 3 pick or choose a suitable rookie to partner with him, he doesn't care at all.

Even if Kahn revealed that he wanted to choose Barnes, the North Carolina shadow, he remained indifferent.

He is now only focusing on training, and mainly wants to improve his shooting speed and mid-range shooting in the three-second zone. This season, his shooting percentage in this zone is less than 40%.

You must know that his overall shooting rate is close to 50%, which is a big shortcoming. If he wants to go further next season, he needs to make himself stronger.

He is well aware that a small football market like the Wolves is not naturally attractive to stars. If he wants to win the championship trophy, he needs to make himself more comprehensive.

The draft is approaching, and the No. 3 pick in the hands of the Wolves has exposed many trading rumors, but none of them have been confirmed.

The Wolves' management, seemingly giving up on the trade, began to focus on workouts and showed strong interest in this year's draft pick, Harrison Barnes.

Faced with the olive branch offered by the Wolves, the North Carolina Blackhawks were somewhat conflicted. The first thing he did when he landed in the NBA was to defeat Li Yu.

If this accepts the Wolves' intentions, it is tantamount to becoming teammates with Li Yu, how can they beat each other up?

Don't accept it, his agent analyzed that Li Yu's style of play is very suitable for him and can help him grow rapidly.

It's so hard to choose!Barnes decided to resign himself to fate. If the Wolves selected him, he would reluctantly partner with Li Yu.

Two days before the draft, Kahn called Li Yu again, asking him what type of teammate he hoped to get.

It seems that they intend to select rookies to stay in the team for training.Li Yu was silent for a moment and replied: "In terms of combat power, I need a teammate who can play quickly and help the team. Simply put, he is a rookie player with a big heart and no stage fright."

After communicating with Kahn, Li Yu took out a stack of materials, which are information about participating in this year's draft.

"Anthony Davis has a balanced offense and defense, and can stretch the space. The most important thing is that he can also play a center. It is quite suitable for me."

Just based on the current situation, this guy is definitely the champion.

The Wolves also thought about making a deal with the Hornets, and even said that they could use Love as a bargaining chip.

But the New Orleans Hornets rejected the Wolves' trade plan without even thinking about it, but they didn't say it dead. If the Wolves were willing to exchange Li Yu, this deal might not be feasible.

Of course the Hornets know that the Wolves will not give up their cornerstone of team building. The reason why they say this is to take a fluke mentality. What if the other party agrees?

Of course Kahn didn't have a brain twitch, otherwise he would be scolded to death by the fans and pack up and leave.

Li Yu continued to read the materials, and when he saw Barnes' name, a half-smile appeared on his face.

The team's management seems to like this guy very much, and there is a high possibility that they will select Barnes with the No. 3 pick.

In fact, Li Yu didn't want the team to choose Barnes, not because of the grievances between the two, but as an opponent in college, he knew that the opponent was not the kind of arrogant player with a big heart.

Of course, Barnes has the potential to become a star, which is beyond doubt, after all, he is a man valued by God.

Although he doesn't want to be teammates with Barnes, if the Wolves choose him, Li Yu has nothing to do.

After reading it for a while, he put down the materials and started the evening private exercise session.

With Emma Watson who came to him, hand in hand.

In the deep trail, sprint swiftly.

This is very good for training people's control, and it requires a lot of waist and abdomen strength, which is of great help to his playing.

On June 6, the draft will be held in Madison Gardens. For players from the slums, it will be a chance for a carp to leap into the dragon's gate.

The members who were invited to the small green room waited with great anticipation for the announcement of their fate. Compared with the players who failed to enter the small green room, they had a more calm atmosphere.

It's all here, so it won't fall out of the lottery, at least it won't fall out of the first round.

The players sitting outside were more or less anxious.

They don't know if they'll be drafted in the first round or even in the second round, they're not guaranteed anything.

After all, there are a lot of people participating in the draft, and there are only 60 places in the NBA draft.

A young man with a bare head and a thin body was too nervous to fidget.

His draft prospects are not good, and his ranking in the second round is not very high, hovering around the tenth overall pick in the second round.

With such a pick, there is a certain possibility of losing the election.

He lacks talent and plays a swingman, which makes him very unpopular. The only selling point is his good defensive ability.

Someone is so powerful that he is sure that he will be selected and shine in the league.

Some people flirt with the team in advance, get a draft promise, and have the confidence to be selected.

There are people who are not talented enough and feel anxious, lest they will lose the election.

In the anticipation of the participating players, the draft will proceed as scheduled.

The Hornets, with the No. [-] pick, chose Anthony Davis without any suspense and got this talented elder.

In the post-Paul era, the Hornets will usher in their new king.

Then came the Wizards with the No. 2 pick. To be honest, the Wizards didn't expect that the team would get the No. [-] pick. Before the draft lottery, their favorite candidate was Bradley Beal.

This not tall shooting guard plays selflessly and does not occupy the ball. He is very suitable to partner with their No. [-] pick Wall.

But what makes the Wizards tangled is that they now have a lot of interest in talented small forward, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

After watching this year's finals, the management of the Wizards knows that an excellent small forward can make the team go further.

This talented small forward has amazing physical fitness, and does not lack confrontation ability at all, and the fast break effect is amazing.

The style of play is full of impact and aggressiveness, and almost has all the qualities that a small forward should have.

Because there are no domestic players in this year's draft, there is no domestic broadcast. The news of the draft that Li Yu learned was through Irving's "real-time broadcast".

The Wizards, tangled in contradictions, finally failed to resist the temptation of first love, and selected spot-up pitcher Bill with the No. 2 pick.

The talented small forward Michael slipped to third place. People who followed the draft thought that the Wolves would choose this talented small forward.

After all, Elvis Gerrard's contract has expired, and Wesley and his like can't support the Wolves' flanks. The Wolves need an excellent small forward.

Compared with Barnes, the favorite of the Wolves, Michael's physical fitness is more explosive, and he has the potential to become an excellent defender.

The only shortcoming of this talented small forward is that his shooting is relatively poor, but poor shooting can be practiced, it is not a big deal.

But the Wolves have Li Yu, a super rookie from the previous session, and they don't need wing players with super scoring ability. It is still very appropriate for the Wolves to choose Michael.

Barnes was a little nervous. At this time, he was also worried that the Wolves would choose Michael. In fact, deep down in his heart, he still wanted to play with Li Yu.

The opponent's magical pass can give him more opportunities and quickly gain a foothold in the league.

When it was time for the Wolves to make a choice, Stern opened the envelope and saw the name on the letter paper with a look of astonishment.

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Damian Lillard with the No. 3 pick in the first round."

Waterfark?The general managers on the scene were stunned. The Timberwolves are making wool, and they have selected guards with high picks for three consecutive years?
They already have an attacking guard with the ball in their team, so choose another Lillard to make wool?

The general managers of other teams didn't understand David Kahn's operations at all, especially the Trail Blazers who were interested in Lillard, feeling that they were being targeted by the Timberwolves.

On the other side of the ocean, Li Yu was also a little puzzled when he heard the result. He didn't know much about Lillard, but judging from the opponent's college resume, this is a point guard with super scoring ability.

He likes to attack with the ball, and his defensive ability is also good. Among the defenders participating in this year's election, he belongs to the top group.

The key point is that the Wolves have Li Yu, the ball-holding core, and Jin Tong, a talented defender. If they choose a defender who needs the ball, how should the ball be divided?
Choose to make a deal, or do you want to trade Rubio?

This idea flashed in Li Yu's mind, and he could only wait for the draft to be over to see how David Kahn would do it.

The draft continues, the Bobcats with the No. [-] pick, owner Jordan did not choose Barnes, whom he is very optimistic about, but chose the talented small forward Michael.

Then the Cavaliers chose Dion Waiters to form a backcourt partner with Irving.

Barnes' face was gloomy, no way, he has already slipped out of the top five, so he shouldn't be falling further, right?
He regrets it now. When he participated in the trial training, he only participated in the trial training of the Timberwolves and the Warriors.

The Timberwolves showed a lot of interest in him, and they backhanded Lillard.

And the Warriors, during the trial training, lacked interest in him, and almost would not choose him.

Judging from the current draft trend, he is very likely to slip out of the top ten, which makes him very unwilling.

David Stern continued to announce that Lillard was snatched by the Timberwolves. The Blazers thought the Wolves would trade, and backhanded the Wolves' favorite player, Barnes.

? ? ?The corner of the general manager of the Warriors twitched, Falk, the Timberwolves robbed your people, so you came to rob me of the person I want to choose?
In fact, the Warriors' favorite candidate has always been Harrison Barnes. They believe that this wing player with good three-point shooting ability will be a good partner for Curry.

In order to select the North Carolina Blackhawks, they deliberately expressed their lack of interest in it, and learned from confidential channels that the Wolves' selection of Barnes was just a smoke bomb.

But who knows that Barnes was taken away by the Blazers, which is really unlucky.

The draft continued, and the Warriors selected Terrence Ross as a backup for Barnes.

The draft progressed to the 26th pick. At this time, the potential players, that is, the combat players, were almost selected, leaving the Wolves with few choices.

The Wolves, who are short on the wing, used the 26th pick in the first round to select Khris Middleton from Texas A&M University.

Although Middleton's draft prospect was a second-round pick, the Wolves used the first-round pick to select him, but it did not cause much repercussions.

The general managers of other teams believe that this is the true level of David Stern, a horse with a bad draft vision!
Li Yu was selected with the No. 3 pick last year, but he was lucky. I really thought that scouts could be blind every year, and let you David Kahn close your eyes and select unknown potential players?
In fact, Kahn really chose with his eyes closed. After Lillard was selected with the 3rd pick, he didn't care who was selected with the 26th pick.

Anyway, at this point in the process, there can be no super genius among the remaining people, so it is better to choose someone who is more pleasing to the eye.

So Kahn chose Middleton, whose back looks a bit like Kobe.

Middleton didn't expect that he would be selected in the first round, and hugged his family excitedly.

For Kahn's choice of Middleton, Li Yu has no objection. The rest of the players are all about the same level, there is no obvious gap, and he can't see which is better.

He is now waiting for the end of the draft round to see if there is a trade.

There is really a blockbuster deal. The draft has just ended, and the Mosaic, Clippers, Mavericks, and Jazz have reached a four-way deal.

Left-handed Magic Odom returned to Los Angeles again, but instead of going to the Lakers, he became a member of the Clippers.

Mo Williams moved from the Clippers to the Utah Jazz, Mosaic got this year's second-round pick, Turkey's talented forward Admiral, and the Mavericks got a special case of 820 million transactions.

After the deal was concluded, Mosaic immediately contacted David Kahn, wanting to use the team's high-quality striker Badinke to exchange for the golden boy of the Wolves.

This deal was rejected by the Wolves, and Kahn wanted to exchange the golden boy for a better puzzle.

At the same time, the point guard Sessions acquired by the Lakers from the Cavaliers refused to execute the contract and tested the free market. He became the most sought-after player in the free market with all-star point guards Deron, Nash, Ray Allen and others. Object.

But what is even more exciting is that the management of the Magic team finally made up their minds to sell Howard the Happy Beast. The previous loyal remarks from both parties became bullshit.

Howard became a trade item, instantly detonating the trading market. This is a man with three DPOYs in a row. The team that wants to win the championship rushes to contact the management of the Magic.

The Magic's requirements are also very simple. They want a first-round pick, a lot of picks.

The first-round pick of the championship team is worthless, and if you want to get Howard, you must make a multi-party transaction.

For the Happy Beast, the Wolves naturally have ideas. If they can get the best defensive player, the Wolves' defense will be greatly improved.

As a result, Kahn began to use Rubio as the main body, supplemented by draft picks, actively pulled other teams into the pit, and tried to make an offer to the Magic.

Just when Kahn wanted to dig someone else's corner, someone was eyeing the super rookie of their team.
