The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 338 The choice of the 338 Trail Blazers!Know the taste of the marrow~
"Who do you think will be the champion this year?"

On the evening of the 26th, in Zhou Si's mansion, Zeller, who watched the draft together, asked.

Zhou Si glanced at him angrily. In order to enjoy the two-person world with Ye Qin, he deliberately didn't go to Brooklyn, but a group of bad friends came directly to him.

Last year was a big year for the draft, and this year's draft market is mediocre, but Zhou Si knows that although there are no cornerstone players who can win the championship this year, there are still many good puzzles to win the championship.

"Almighty Center" Towns, "Low Post Offensive Beast" Okafor, "CBA Supernova Guard" Mudiay, "Super Combo Guard" Russell, "European Genius" Porzingis, "Optimus Prime" Caulistan...

But when it comes to the No. [-] pick, Zhou Si can't guess for sure, because the Celtics hold the No. [-] lottery this year.

As the butterfly effect is getting bigger and bigger, not only the team's draft order has changed, but Zhou Si has never seen the names of many players.

The future is bound to be even more chaotic.

"Downs or Okafor."

Oladipo cheered.

"After all, those managements prefer big men, and the Celtics have no cornerstone players inside."

Zhou Si nodded, Oladipo's analysis is well-founded.

NBA Commissioner Xiao Hua was booed like last year when he stepped onto the main stage.

But Xiao Hua doesn't take it seriously, as long as you are happy.

After the simple opening remarks and speeches, the draft officially begins!
"In 2015, the Boston Celtics' No. [-] pick in the first round was... Okafor out of Duke."

Okafor put on his Celtic hat and went on stage with a happy face.

The Celtics are a wealthy family, and Boston is also a big city. In addition, the team is clearly on the rise, and the new season is very exciting.

"Sure enough, it's an inside line..."

Oladipo said with a "that's what I said" expression.

The second pick, one of the favorites in this year's No. [-] pick, the former No. [-] high school student in the United States, Mudiay was selected by the Jazz. After undergoing my socialist transformation, Mudiay will partner with Wiggins, who has unlimited potential!

With the third overall pick, the Bucks selected Towns. He has solid skills and all-round skills, and is called "the perfect center in the small ball era" by the media!
And Downs has both immediate combat power and potential, and the Bucks management obviously picked up a treasure.

Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker and Towns, Zhou Si knew that in time, the Bucks would definitely become a strong team in the East.

With the fourth pick, the Mavericks chose Porzingis, and the old driver has a successor.

With the fifth overall pick, the Pistons chose Russell, the top pick.

Through the close-up shots, it is obvious that Russell is a little upset. This pick is obviously a bit different from his heart!
With the sixth overall pick, the Heat selected Towns' teammate, Willie Caulistan!

……

The No.13 Nuggets chose Devin Booker, the [-]th pick, you deserve it.

……

"The 2015st pick in the first round of the 30 NBA belongs to the Portland Trail Blazers, and they have 5 minutes to think about it."

"Hey, Zhou, it's time for your team."

"Who is your team going to choose?"

Zhou Si shook his head, this time he really didn't know.

In fact, Zhou Si didn't really care about it. He was just a substitute anyway. If he really cared, he would definitely fly to New York to meet his new teammate.

"The Portland Trail Blazers selected Josh Richardson with the 2015th overall pick in the first round of the 30 NBA season!"

Seeing the excited black guy coming to the stage to shake hands with Xiao Hua, Zhou Si searched for Josh Richardson's information.

"Elected to the All-SEC First Team and All-Defensive Team in the 2014-15 season."

Seems like a good defensive back.

This is Zhou Si's first impression.

"Well, I only participated in the draft in my senior year. It seems that the potential is not very great!"

This is Zhou Si's second judgment.

Zhou Si put aside the information he had found.

It's okay to focus on defense, so that the second position only needs to find another three-pointer.

Because the No.60 overall pick in the second round was traded by the Blazers for cash, the draft that belongs to the Blazers has ended early.

It's not that the Blazers' management is picky, but rather than Taobao, it's better to save a position and choose a strong player to sit on the bench.

The Trail Blazers won the championship this year. Although it is more difficult to renew players, they are also more attractive to veterans.

Although Josh Richardson's Zhou Si didn't pay much attention to it, as a team leader, he still had to do face-saving projects.

After posting a status to welcome the rookie, Zhou Si also asked for Richardson's contact information from the general manager of Orsi.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Si, and welcome to the Trail Blazers family.

I'm training in Portland right now, you can come with me if you want. "

Richardson, who received the news from Zhou Si, was overjoyed!

Zhou Si is his idol!

……

The next day, looking at the black guy outside the villa, Zhou Si had to sigh:

This guy is too honest.

However, Zhou Si didn't dissuade the young man's enthusiasm. After renting a house for him, he took him to join the "Devil God Training Camp".

For this black guy, in addition to polishing his defense, Zhou Si also asked him to practice open three-pointers and catch-and-shoot three-pointers.

If the Trail Blazers want to play well, they must have three points!
……

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

While Zhou Si was practicing dry drawing hard, he was enjoying the two-person world with Ye Qin at the same time.

Some things are known by taste, and now he has a little understanding of why those bad friends like to go to nightclubs so much.

The happiness in it is really indescribable to outsiders.

In the past two days, there have been rumors in the media circles!

Everyone knows that next year's contract is about to usher in a big explosion, so there are not many big fish in the free market this year.

In the first gear, there are only four players: James, Love, Aldridge and Marc Gasol;

James has announced the implementation of the player option to jump out of the contract, but it is reported that he will definitely renew his contract with the Cavaliers.

Love directly implemented the player option, so that he will play in the Warriors for another year, and then sign a big contract when the contract expires next summer.

So the only targets that other teams are chasing are Adelaide and Marc Gasol. Considering that the news disclosed by these two people is basically leaving the team, the main rhythm of this summer is obviously the calm before the storm!

The second tier has more players than the first, but most of them are rookies in 11 years-restricted free agents, and the home team can match any offer.

The rookie contracts of Klay Thompson, Leonard, and Jimmy Butler all expire this summer.

However, it is said that the tendency to stay in the team is relatively large.

In addition to them, there are many second-tier stars left: Dragic, Jordan Jr., Ellis, Brook Lopez, Thaddeus Young, Gay, Rondo.

There are even more players in the third tier.

Obviously, it is unlikely that there will be a new super team this year. The league that is about to be shattered can finally rest!
