The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 210 210 There are a lot of big fish, and the storm is approaching!
According to the usual practice, every time the NBA president announces the result of the draft, the line is always: "In the X pick, XX team selected XX player!"

However, during this year's draft, Xiao Hua, on behalf of the NBA, chose the rookie Isiah Austin who had withdrawn from basketball due to serious illness.

Before the start of this year's NBA draft, Baylor University's "prosthetic eye rookie" Isiah Austin was suddenly revealed to be suffering from "Marfan Syndrome". It is a pity that his basketball career was reimbursed.

After learning of the news, the NBA responded quickly, and Xiao Hua publicly invited Austin to the scene of the draft.

However, what most people did not expect was that the new NBA president actually welcomed Austin into the NBA family in such a very special way during the draft.

Isiah Austin said excitedly in an interview: "When God closes a door, he opens another door, and I will have dreams again."

Xiao Hua's move infected everyone at the draft conference, and everyone stood up and applauded the president and Austin.

Regardless of whether Xiao Hua's move was for show or not, Zhou Si thinks this behavior is commendable!
Dreams are always priceless!

……

After the draft is over, what follows is the free agent market.

In the past two days, the entire media world has been full of rumors!

Wade or jump out of the contract and sign with the Heat for 4 years and 5000 million?James staying in Miami?

Anthony will terminate the contract early and become a free agent, next home: Heat, Bulls or Rockets?

Kevin Love joining the Warriors through a three-way deal?Two NBA executives think Love will eventually go to the Lakers?
ESPN: Mavericks want to pursue Pau Gasol?

TNT: The Cavaliers sent Batum to make room for King James to go home?

The Spurs pursue Monroe, the next cornerstone?
After Zhou Si returned to Portland, he was not idle during training and eating melons. He discussed with general manager Orsi and coach Stotts about the next operation in the free market.

In the past two days, Orsi had contacted all the players in the team, and none of the players with contracts had any intention of leaving, which surprised Zhou Si a bit.

Are they so optimistic about me?
In any case, Zhou Si is willing to accept this situation. After all, after the transaction, he is familiar with his teammates and tactics, and it is also very troublesome to recognize his face.

Regarding the implementation of team options, neither Ye Ze nor Meyers Leonard has any opinions.

The two of them still have a clear idea of ​​their position in their hearts.

He also expressed his understanding of Nolan Smith who rejected the team option. After all, even if he renews his contract with Billups, he is still the water dispenser administrator.

In terms of players whose contracts expired, Billups and Courtney Lee chose to re-sign without even thinking about it. They lived comfortably in the Trail Blazers and had a good life.

Casspi thought about it and chose to agree, only Miles chose to refuse.

It's not because Zhou Si sprayed him with a grudge, but because the Pistons paid him a high price. As a low-level player in the NBA, he couldn't say no to money.

So far the situation has become clearer.

Point guard: Lillard, Billups;
Points: Matthews, Courtney Lee, Ye Ze;
SF: Zhous, Casspi;
Power forward: Millsap;
Center: McGee, Leonard, Jokic;
The [-]nd and [-]th positions are already full, and the [-]th position is scarce. Combining with the suggestions given by Zhou Si, Orsi puts the target on the [-]th, [-]st and [-]rd positions.

Zhou Si at the fourth position means that it is best to find someone who can shoot three-pointers, so that he can help him open up space when playing small ball tactics.

The No. [-] position needs to find a defensive champion to come back, so that he doesn't have to defend Curry.

Coupled with Courtney Lee and himself, even the Warriors are not afraid of McCollum!
Zhou Si at the third position means to find an assaulter. The team's breakthrough ability besides Lillard and himself is also very worrying.

Zhou Si can break through, but having teammates cut into Zhou Si can also save some energy.

Orsi wrote down Zhou Si's request in his notebook and agreed. Didn't you see Coach Stotts nodding again and again?
Zhou's decision must be right!

……

In addition, Zhou Si also discussed with Coach Stotts and determined where each player should pay attention to improvement.

In Zhou Si's view, they are a team, he doesn't care what happened before, they will work hard together in the next season.

In this playoffs, Zhou Si deeply felt that basketball is a game for five people. A team only needs two or three people who are all-round.

For example, facing the Spurs, Zhou Si can always play singles. He doesn't need other teammates to dribble at all, he only needs them to shoot and catch three-pointers.

In the new season, he must still be in charge, and Lillard will be the deadliest weapon under his support.

So Zhou Si and coach Stotts felt that Lillard didn't need to spend too much time on support and breakthroughs after communicating with coach Stotts. Thinking about how to improve the three-point shooting rate is the right way.

You can practice three-pointers by yourself, or you can learn to move, use screens, fake moves, and Zhou Si doesn't care about how to do it, just let Coach Stotts inform.

Billups?The old man does not need any advice, as long as he maintains his strength.

Matthews' task is to lose weight and practice three-pointers;

Courtney Lee is practicing defense and receiving three-pointers;
Casspi practices catch-and-shoot three-pointers;

Millsap, practicing low post and face-up offense;

Leonard, practice defense and spot-up three-pointers.

As for the remaining McGee, Jokic, and Ye Ze, Zhou Si is going to take them to practice together.

Needless to say, Ye Ze has been practicing together before. Jokic wants to control his diet so that he can lose weight as soon as possible. As for McGee?
As the highest salary in the team, extra efforts must be made to come back!

The training content that Zhou Si arranged for him was very simple, defending and eating cakes.

For a player like McGee who plays by instinct, it is not realistic for him to practice skills that are too difficult...

On July 7st, the NBA free agent market officially opened!
The first thing that appeared was the news that Randolph renewed his contract with the Grizzlies for 2000 million in two years. It seems that Xiong Da, who is extremely popular in Memphis, is determined to die here. I have to say that this is also a good home for him.

Then the Celtics and Hayward reached a four-year 4 million maximum salary offer contract, and the Jazz have 6300 days to consider whether they match;

If Wiggins is not selected, the Jazz will still choose to match. Now that Wiggins is available, Zhou Si estimates that the time for Hayward to join the Celtics will be advanced.

There is also an agreement between the Bucks and the Nets. The Bucks sent out the 2015 and 2019 second-round picks, while Jason Kidd went to Milwaukee to coach.

With Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker, old Kidd's life should be easy!

邓肯1年1040万留马刺，小斯1年2340万留尼克斯，盖伊1年1930万留国王，戈塔特5年6000万留奇才。

Some for fame, some for money, and so on.

Unlike previous years when the free agent market opened and there were all kinds of shouts and tsunami, this year is surprisingly calm, because everything is waiting for that man's decision!
The storm is coming!
