Chapter 189 The draft meeting, unexpected strong support

After the Cavaliers owner's son Nick Gilbert miraculously won the No. [-] lottery for the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers were all excited.After James left, God seemed to favor the abandoned team and re-guided it in a new direction.

On May 2011, 5, the NBA players union formally submitted a lawsuit to the U.S. labor arbitration agency, accusing the NBA of using intimidation and threats in the new labor negotiations to force the players union to sign a new labor agreement that is unfavorable to the players. Cast a shadow over the opening of the new season on July 27.

In the early hours of June 2011, 6, the legendary center "Shark" O'Neal announced his retirement through his Twitter. This young player from the beginning of the league to the oldest player in the league has written a lot in his career. Today, everything is over. As one of the greatest centers in NBA history, after 2 years of professional career, the 19-year-old legendary superstar officially bid farewell to the NBA arena. In the future NBA All-Star Game , There will no longer be a big man playing tricks on the sidelines.

Although the players union and the NBA haven't reached a contract on a new collective bargaining agreement, the 6 draft on June 24 is still coming as scheduled.

As the team's new captain who will share the responsibility of leading the team with Jamison in the new season, Yuan Su went to the draft with coach Byron Scott, team general manager David Griffin and team owner Dan Gilbert. The main venue for the convention, the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

When the Cavaliers arrived at the draft venue, the staff of other teams cast envious eyes, because in this draft, there will be a talented point guard who is said to be born only once in ten years-Kyrie - Owen.In the team discussion before the draft, the team has reached a consensus on the candidate for the No. 15 pick, and the team has no reason to miss the best player in this session.As for the No. [-] pick, the Cavaliers have several alternatives, but no specific decision has been made yet, and it depends on the situation of the on-site draft.

While waiting anxiously, Stern finally appeared on the scene of the draft. Perhaps because of the new labor dispute negotiations, Stern looked a bit haggard. After delivering a brief speech, the 2011 draft Officially begin.

The Cavaliers, with the No. 22 pick, made the selection first. There is no doubt that the Cavaliers selected the famous NCAA point guard Kyrie Irving, who scored a team-high 3 points, 7 rebounds and 1 times in the Jordan Classic last year. The most valuable player with 12 assist and 8 steal. He performed well during Duke University. He once scored a game-high 31 points on 2003 of 34 shots in the focus game against Michigan State University, second only to JJ-Redick in [-] The [-] points he created in [-] ranked second in Duke school history for rookies in a single game.

However, suffering from a toe injury, Irving's Duke lost to the University of Arizona in the Elite 8 game. In that game, Irving scored 28 points and 3 assists with the injury.

Although before choosing Irving, the Cavaliers coach and general manager had disagreements on the draft because of Irving's lack of assists, but Yuan Su knew that the Cavaliers made the right decision.

With the second pick, the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Derrick Williams, a sophomore player from the University of Arizona who can play both the small and large forward positions.

In this year's NCAA competition, it was under the leadership of Derek Williams that the team defeated the defending champion Duke University led by No. A popular candidate for the No. [-] pick.

In the NCAA this season, Derek Williams averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was 59.5%. He is the best player in the Pacific Ten League. Passing the level reflects his key-ball ability.

Against the University of Memphis, Williams contributed a key block with less than 2 seconds left in the game. In the Sweet 16 battle with the University of Texas, Williams successfully hit a three-pointer at a critical moment in the Elite 8 game. Facing the top-seeded Duke University led by Irving, Williams led the team to achieve a great reversal and advance to the semi-finals.

For Derek Williams' choice, the Timberwolves are very satisfied.

The Utah Jazz, with the third pick, hesitated, and finally selected the Turkish insider born in 92, Ines Kanter, who played for the Turkish professional league powerhouse Fenerbahçe when he was only 16 years old. The club's talented insider was finally lucky enough to become today's No. [-] pick.

In fact, this year's draft is generally considered by the American media to be a small draft year. Except for the first two players, Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams, there seems to be no outstanding players among the other players. Therefore, the remaining teams Had to face the dizzying situation.

The fourth Indiana Pacers selected Tristan Thompson from the University of Texas. This explosive inside player scored 20 points and 7 rebounds in his first game on behalf of the team. With 4 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, he quickly became the main force in the team.

In 2011, Thompson was selected as the best rookie of the year in the big 12 districts, and was selected as the best defensive team in the big 12 districts. It is generally questioned that his height is short, with bare feet of 2.03 meters and shoes of 2.06 meters. In the NBA, the style of relying on his body to play may not be sustainable, but after careful consideration, the Indiana Pacers still selected this passionate player with the fourth overall player of.

The Toronto Raptors, who played immediately after the game, chose the 2.13-meter-tall Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas with the fifth pick. This player, who was born in 92, also started at the age of 16 own career, and was elected Lithuanian Mr. Basketball in 2011.

The Washington Wizards, who played sixth, chose the Czech player Jane Veseli, who is 2.11 meters tall but can play small forward.Veseli not only possesses the physical fitness of top white players, but also possesses very rare ball-handling skills compared to a player who is close to 7 feet. However, his body is too thin and lacks strength and confrontation ability. There are certain doubts about the development of Veseli, but it is undeniable that Veseli's potential is absolutely limitless.

The Kings, with the seventh overall pick, chose Bismack Biyombo, a player from the Congo. Although Biyombo, who serves as a center, is only 2.06 meters tall, at the Nike Basketball Summit in April this year, Biyombo represented the international team. In the game between the Nike team and the US team, they scored 4 points, 28 rebounds and 12 blocks in 11 minutes. This is the first triple-double in the history of the Nike Basketball Summit. attention.

When the Kings chose, the Bobcats immediately informed the Kings and traded Biyombo, who was selected by the opponent with the seventh overall pick.

The Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks selected eighth, ninth and tenth picks in a row with three point guards: Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker and Jimmer Frey Date.

When it came to the Golden State Warriors with the No.11 pick, Yuan Su couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when they selected Klay Thompson, a junior player from Washington State University.

"What's the matter, Yuan, is it too stuffy in the stadium? If you don't feel well, you can go for a walk and get some air." Team owner Dan Gilbert asked concerned.

"It doesn't matter, Dan, I just think the player chosen by the Warriors is good." Yuan Su replied.

"Yeah, David and I also wanted to select this player with the 15th overall pick, but it's a pity that the Warriors took the lead. In this case, it's hard to say which player to choose with the 15th overall pick." Gilber Te said.

Yuan Su nodded and continued to watch the draft.

Klay Thompson, a three-point shooter, has demonstrated his ability to shoot three-pointers since high school. He averaged 21 points per game as a senior and led Santa Margarita Catholic High School to a record of 30 wins and 5 losses. Entering the state Division III championship game, in the state championship finals, Thompson hit 7 three-pointers, setting a new record for this event, and was elected the Division III player of the year, and was selected to the first team of the Western Region All-NBA Team. and EA Sports second-team All-American.

After entering Washington State University, Thompson averaged 12.5 points per game in his freshman season, led the team in three-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage, and was selected to the Big Ten Rookie Team of the Year.

In his sophomore season, Thompson averaged 19.6 points per game, ranking second in the Big Ten. He became the third fastest player to reach 1000 points in school team history. Nominated for the John Wooden Awards season.In the Greater Alaska Challenge, Thompson scored a record 43 points and was elected as the most outstanding player. The 43 points in a single game are also the third highest record in a single game in the history of the Washington State team.

In his junior season, Thompson averaged 21.6 points per game and became the leading scorer in the Big Ten. His total score of 733 points in the season set a record in team history, ranking third in the team's total scoring list, and he was once again selected as the best team in the Big Ten. In addition, Thompson is also the first player in team history to win the best player of the week three times in a single season. In the 2011 Big Ten Championship, Thompson made eight three-pointers and scored 8 points, a tournament record.

Although Thompson is amazing in three-point shooting, before the draft, not many teams paid attention to him, because there are too many players in the league who are good at and outstanding in three-point shooting, but the Warriors have the insight Being educated, bringing Thompson under his command, also cut off Yuan Su's idea of ​​flirting.

Thinking of the combination of Varejao + Yuan Su + Jamison + Thompson + Owen, Yuan Su was a little excited, but this was already destined to be impossible.

The Utah Jazz, who played for the second time, still have the No.12 pick after the second pick. They chose guard Alec Burks, who played for the University of Colorado. He averaged 20.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. The season's total scoring of 779 points became the highest in the history of the University of Colorado, and he ranked first in the Big [-] league in average.

The next Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets selected the brothers Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris respectively. The elder brother Markieff Morris is a power forward, and Marcus Morris can play a small forward. Two positions, but mainly small forward.

After the Suns and Rockets selected the Morris brothers, it was finally the turn of the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 15th pick.

But at the moment the team's general manager David Griffin and coach Byron Scott are still arguing over who to choose. Griffin believes that it is better to choose the insider Nikola Vucevic from Montenegro. Scott believes that Iman Shumpert, who can play multiple positions in the backcourt and wing, is more suitable for the current team.

When the two were still arguing fiercely, no one noticed Yuan Su who was sitting at the side staring blankly at the candidate list. After a while, a look of surprise appeared on Yuan Su's face.

"This person is too low-key, I actually forgot, he is not inferior to Thompson's player, no, he may even be stronger than Thompson!" Yuan Su thought excitedly.

"Kawhi Leonard." Yuan Su's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the conversation between Griffin and Scott.

Including team owner Dan Gilbert, the three looked at Yuan Su at the same time.

Yuan Su immediately explained: "Actually, I don't want to interfere with the team's decision-making. It's just that I have a better understanding of this player. He is definitely capable of becoming the strongest player in this draft. His ability is not inferior to Irving."

"This player used to be on our list, and we also included him as the second choice after Klay Thompson, just." Team manager David Griffin finished, silently looked at Dan Gilbert.

"It's my request, because this player played American football before entering ninth grade and did not have any formal basketball training. Although he later performed well in basketball, I like players who stick to their hobbies. ." After Gilbert finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then said again, "But if even Yuan can praise this player, then I think it's not a bad idea to choose Kawhi."

"Great! Yuan, you're really good, you convinced Dan with just one sentence!" Griffin couldn't help but praised.

"The No. 15 pick of the Cleveland Cavaliers is" David Stern paused, glanced at the note, raised his head and said, "Kawhi Leonard from San Diego State University !"

Leonard jumped up excitedly from his seat, and Yuan Su showed a longing smile for the future!

Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, hey hey hey, the new season is great!Teams in the league, are you ready to tremble?
"Hahaha!" Under the surprised gazes of Gilbert, Griffin, and Scott, Yuan Su couldn't help laughing out loud!
