Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 59 The Fourth Pick
To be honest, for the time traveler, it was not suitable to join the NBA in 97, because there was basically nothing to pick up in the 97 draft, and the only one who was expected to be picked was Tracy McGrady, who was pulled into the university by Shi Yong.

But for Meng Yifan now, the NCAA has no meaning. Instead of spending time in the NCAA, it is better to go to the NBA. At least he can have a four-star card collar, and maybe he can draw suitable young players for him. star card.

Having made up his mind, Meng Yifan began to study the reliable chips in the lineup.

The All-Stars in 96 were magnificent, but Meng Yifan had nothing to do with them, so they didn’t participate. Iverson, Ma Jian, Battelle, and Big Z all participated in the rookie game. Basically, the ball was in their hands. With tacit cooperation, they easily won the rookie game, and Iverson and Battelle tied for the MVP of the rookie game.

However, league president Stern is not in a hurry to promote the newcomers of the 96 generation. The Chinese market has slowly opened up. The center in high school has unlimited potential, and the little guard from Georgetown University with a unique playing style is also very interesting. These can help expand China's market. market.

Stern originally wanted to make Battelle an All-Star, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate. Battelle has enough topicality, and if he keeps developing him, it will make people feel aesthetically tired.

There is a saying that one dense top ten black, a brainless fan, directly ruined the popularity of this star, and babbled about the same thing all day long. People might have a good impression of you as a player, but they continue to over-promote and fans It's easy to get bored by constantly rambling on about one thing.

Due to excessive publicity in the previous life, there were many players who were hacked by a bunch of people. The bus has a layer of Chinese identity, and with the hard power inside, the fans are not in a hurry, and there will be some.

Right now, what Meng Yifan has to deal with is the mess of the Warriors. That's right, Meng Yifan looked around, and finally chose the Warriors between the Warriors and the Grizzlies.

The Warriors have a lot of assets. The No. [-] overall pick, Joe Smith, is getting better and better every year. If there is no future Yin-Yang contract, maybe this guy will be an All-Star, but right now this guy is dead. I don't want to renew my contract with the Warriors, and I want to go elsewhere, so trading it early is the right choice.

In addition to Joe Smith, there is also an imperative trading point in the Warriors-Madman Sprewell, if you have nothing to do, pinch a coach for fun, and randomly select a lucky coach to strangle to death in each game. Yifan said that he couldn't bear it.

Donyell Marshall, the old captain of the University of Connecticut, Ray Allen's former big brother, although the current statistics are mediocre, but Meng Yifan knows that it is because Joe Smith occupies more playing time and performance opportunities, Marshall's own ability is still there. As a power forward, he has a strong three-point rebound and the ability to attack the basket with one hand, which is already very good.

At this point, after Joe Smith is traded, he can be used as a starting power forward, or he can continue to be aggressive on the bench. It is a good choice. The contract is cheap and his skills are reliable. Meng Yifan will not clear him in the short term. plan.

Chris Mullin, Hall of Fame-level star, small forward, nicknamed "God's Left Hand", one-handed left-handed shooting, without fail. Day, scored a triple-double of 1997 points, 2 rebounds and 19 assists.

The old Mullin still has oil in his fuel tank, and he also has valuable experience in the playoffs, including helping young players build confidence, find a suitable court position, etc. These are all things Mullin can do. Meng Yifan disagreed with the team management's plan to trade old Mullin.

Another veteran of the team is the veteran point guard of the Cavaliers, Mark Price, who has a strong ability to score three-pointers accurately. However, if Price plays another season, he will announce his retirement because his body cannot bear the intensity of the game.

To say that the Warriors really have a lot of point guards, in addition to Mark Price, there is also an All-Star veteran, BJ Armstrong. fast.

But the good news is that because of the relatively big name of this guy, many teams still think that this veteran can still play, but because of the problem of playing time, the data has declined.Coupled with the fact that the contract was cheap, it was very convenient for Meng Yifan to clean up.

There is also a point guard named Bimbo Coles. He was the player selected with the 90th pick in the second round by the Kings in 13. He can barely be regarded as a high-quality backup point guard. At the age of 28, he is in the golden age of a player. , in the best condition. If you sell it, you should be able to get a good bargain.

The above are all the reliable and unreliable chips of the Warriors. In addition, there is a 96th overall pick in the 11 Golden Generation. He was born in a prestigious North Carolina school. Todd Fowler, a 2-meter center, is not sure if there is any fool willing Taken over, trying to scratch the lottery ticket.

This year's lottery conference was very interesting. The Celtics, who won the last record in the league, only won the second lottery, while the Spurs, who made their debut halfway, were upset and won the No. [-] lottery.

So sometimes, the person who defeats you is not the peer who is doing bad with you, but the guy who crosses over and makes a guest appearance and is uncompetitive in your eyes.

The Celtics got the No. [-] pick, which can be regarded as a comfort in their hearts. Coupled with the sixth pick that they don’t know where they got it, in the eyes of this brickman, it will be a good year in the draft.

The Nuggets won the No. [-] pick. It is said that they want to strengthen the inside line. The hope of the whites, Van Horn, Shi Yong, who has been invincible in high school, and Tony Batty, who is said to be good at mid-range jumpers, are all in their consideration. Inside.

That's right, Shi Yong, after fooling his younger brother into Georgetown University, Shi Yong felt ashamed to face his old high school captain Blake, and coach Meng Yifan who had great hopes for him, so he was in the draft On the last day of the registration deadline, Quiet Mimi registered herself.

It is estimated that Artest and the others were confused. Shi Yong fooled them to go to Georgetown. Shi Yong left and went straight to the NBA. He went to Georgetown and said that he would go to Mr. M. Coach Meng, but Meng Yifan patted him. The butt went to the NBA, leaving coach Zhang Bin and Camille to preside over Georgetown University.

However, relying on the list left by Shi Yong, they still recruited Shi Yong's younger brothers in sevens and eights. The only one who was not recruited was Baron Davis. UCLA wanted to retain this Los Angeles local point guard genius. , used a lot of tricks.

Not only did they find a job for Davis' sister in the school cafeteria, the head coach of UCLA also asked his son to sell the car to Davis' sister. With a soft mouth, Davis joined UCLA in a logical way.

The Warriors are the fourth overall pick. Meng Yifan plans to get Shi Yong. After all, there are no insiders in any position these days. With Shi Yong inside, at least the team will not be overwhelmed by various insiders. Miserable, and then a year of bad performance, and some more reliable players, you can consider taking off.

The Kings of Saramento got the fifth pick, this is the first victim in the Meng Yifan trade, it turns out that they left the old rock, nothing, and Coleman Stackhouse People, leave Philadelphia and continue to change teams to make trouble.

Anyway, for them, it’s all about data wherever they go. The two Philadelphia-born brothers cooperated tacitly on the court and successfully made the team start point guard. The two of them are quite good at playing duo on the field.

It’s hard to figure out who the sixth pick originally belonged to. Anyway, it’s been tricked by the Green Army. Many experts speculated that the new coach of the Green Army would bring back his college student Ron Mercer, but The old coach was interviewed with disgust, and his angry expression did not seem to be a disguise, which made many teams murmur in their hearts. Is this guy a cancer in the locker room?
The seventh pick is the Vancouver Grizzlies. After forming the twin tower combination of Levi's and Camby on the inside, the two are inexplicably matched. On the offensive end, Levi's is overwhelmed in the interior, and Camby is ready to catch the ball on the outside of the wing. On the defensive end, Levi's carrying Opponents can't easily shoot, and Camby uses his long arms to name and cap opponents one by one.

The eighth pick belongs to the Bucks, the ninth pick belongs to the Nets, the tenth pick belongs to the Pacers, the No.11 pick belongs to the Cavaliers, the No.12 pick belongs to the Washington Bullets, and the No.13 pick belongs to the Raptors...

Regarding the conflict between the Lakers and the Pistons, I will express some personal opinions

First of all, I am not Jamie, even slightly Jamie

James's action was indeed angry, and he even became angry because of being squeezed, so he struck a cruel blow.
However, afterwards, when Stewart fell to the ground, James subconsciously reached out his hand, which proved that he was trying to reconcile and resolve the conflict, including the proof that James had apologized.

So why is James so angry, and let’s talk about the penalty scale of this season
Because the previous NBA was a diving league and a standing long jump league, if you are interested, you can search for the action confrontation between Melon and Kobe in the playoffs that year, and look at the NBA last season. Ball, ass top, whistle, offensive foul.

So based on the general background of the relaxation of the penalty scale, let's go back to the Lakers. As for the Lakers themselves, these players were patched together this summer, without any running-in, and their styles of play are not very compatible.

As for Westbrook, he is a player who relies on the impact of his physical fitness to play. His state will definitely decline when he gets older, but after the intensity of confrontation and the penalty scale increase, he can obviously feel that he is not suitable for the game and adjust his state. No, I can't find my familiar rhythm

The Lakers lost so much, not only because of Westbrook's loss of state and other problems, but also the confrontation with the new season, penalties, including this run-in, are all problems, the problem is very big, and even the slogan of the Lakers championship can be accepted. received
Well, of course, when Westbrook wore a red Tang suit to attend the press conference and supported China when he made some stupid remarks about the general manager of the Rockets, I became a fan of Westbrook. .

The topic is far away, let's go back to today's conflict
James, no matter how strong his physical fitness is, he can still layup with a man on his body. He is 37 after all.

Just like last year's playoffs, many people were talking about trying their best, but James failed to explode

We have to recognize the facts. Your idol is indeed old. No matter how well maintained he is, he won’t be able to survive the time. He is indeed in such a stage of decline.

Therefore, when James was squeezed and pushed, he felt that he had been violated, and he subconsciously beat him up with anger.

As for the Lakers' home commentator, he said that Stewart took the initiative to hit James' elbow with his face. Let's just laugh at this statement. No serious person can be abused by himself, and not everyone is Doug Christie.

Then let's talk about the other side of the conflict, Stewart, who is also a villain player. When the Nets played the Pistons and stepped over Griffin, the fuse that almost broke out in the conflict was Stewart.

Therefore, when the whole Internet was talking about James swinging his elbow and swinging his hand to hit someone, did anyone notice that Stewart's blocking action was not a very friendly or legal action in itself.

It must be wrong for James to hit someone, but Stewart is not a good person, so in this conflict, what I am most surprised about is what the Lakers said

Stewart himself was about to calm down, but suddenly exploded again. He even said that he was like a football player, ignoring the siege of the Pistons home staff all the way, and went straight to James. He was probably stimulated by something
So, the doorways here, I always feel that it is not that simple

After this incident, it still has a great impact on James. The image of this player who has been in business for so long is basically ruined. It is estimated that many people will label James in a mess. of.

Let’s talk about James, let’s fight, there will be a second outbreak of Auburn Hills, which will completely ruin his reputation of operating for more than ten years. It is not necessarily possible to beat Stewart.

So it is indeed a very wise choice for James not to fight, which is good for both teams, but as for James, he is labeled as a coward, and runs away after picking things up. An indelible black spot at the end.

In this matter, both parties are at fault, but the problem is that Stewart pursued James relentlessly and charged many times, which makes people feel like he has been violated. It stands to reason that the people who beat you have been expelled, so you should stop It's been a while, right?

If James' elbow is the trigger for the conflict, then Stewart's multiple charges are the fuel to expand the influence of this matter, which is actually not good for anyone.
As for the penalty for this conflict, James should be suspended within 2-3 games, and even said that there will be no suspension. After all, James has done a good job in avoiding conflicts. The league considers the commercial value of the Lakers. With Lao Zhan's fan base or something, the suspension for James will not be too long, or even not.

Then on the other side of the conflict, Stewart, I personally feel that it will start with 5 games, and there will be no cap. If there are fewer suspensions, then it proves that the NBA has really relaxed the scale of confrontation. You can do whatever you want. As long as it doesn't kill people, it doesn't matter much.

Let me briefly talk about my views on the players on both sides of the conflict:

James is a player who strives to make himself perfect in all kinds of things. Even if he is not perfect, he must package himself perfectly. You cannot deny his greatness, but you also have to understand that he This kind of over-packaging, over-commercialization, really loses fans

Just like in the selection of historical players, James overwhelmed all the stars and directly ranked second. This is beyond my comprehension

The image packaging of James can only be said to have its own advantages and disadvantages, just like the behavior of fans burning James jerseys when they left the Heat, because they thought that James would stay in Cleveland forever, until that day, their faith collapsed up
Therefore, this excessive image packaging of James is the reason why after this conflict, all kinds of Stewart's 20-[-]-year-old fans came out to condemn James.

So, in this public opinion war, Lao Zhan needs to fight well, and he must fight well. If it is not handled properly, it may be a character set that has been in business for many years, and it will be destroyed by Zhan Hei.

As for the other protagonist in the conflict, Stewart, he can only say that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, young people are energetic and have the potential to become Artest's successor.

Well, here's Arenas' advice to Stewart at the end:

1. Never clash with James and Durant

2. Don't mess with Curry and Klay of the Warriors, they will also make you feel overwhelmed.

3. The only two teams allowed to throw punches without real punishment are Rondo's and Paul's teams
4. Wait until your teammates surround you before acting tough, just like WWE.

Ok that's it for the NBA fight memo, happy moving!
(I actually don’t think the Pistons will trade Stewart. Even if this guy is a villain player, he can protect the No. [-] pick Cunningham, and no one will take over the deal. The Pistons should still rot in the end.)

The above viewpoints represent only my own viewpoints. If you have any ideas, you can point them out, or join the group to denounce the old hippo.

You can consider sending conscientious authors to the comment area. After all, authors like me who have updated [-] words in a chapter are hard to find these days with a lantern.

Just for my long-winded analysis, the old hippo has the cheek to ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket, and a tip of a dime, which I don’t think is too much.
