If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 231
The Thunder renewed the contracts of Yi Jian and Durant with the maximum salary in advance, and at the same time renewed the contract of Lowry with 4000 million yuan for five years, which showed their determination to maintain the championship lineup and pursue the defense.

This also shows that the Thunder will not participate in the vicissitudes of the free market in the summer, because in the summer of 2010, there were many big fish.

James, Wade, Bosh, Pierce, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, David Lee, these players are enough to change the pattern of the East.

Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Rudy Gay and other players can also make changes in the West.

The media called this year the craziest free market in 35 years, but all this has little to do with the Thunder that won the championship.

The Thunder even need to fill the lower line, because the maximum salary of Yi Jian and Durant will not take effect until next year.

Listen, is this a human speech?The defending champion is so jealous of other teams for spending so little money.

The Thunder also plan to keep Collison in the summer, and plan to give him a premium severance contract to reward him for his hard work over the years. As for whether to sign a long-term contract in the future, it depends on the fate of the two parties, because next year he will definitely Sign a lower contract.

To be precise, after signing Yi Jian, Durant and Lowry, the Thunder will at most offer a bigger contract.

Others, it is estimated that they will leave after their rookie period, and some may be traded in advance.

But this summer will still maintain the lineup. The team won a championship cheaply and made history.

"Kevin, to be honest, this year's rookies are a bit ordinary, and I'm afraid there are no particularly good seedlings." Yi Jian sighed.

Now the team lineup is good, and Yi Jian is also inflated, looking down on ordinary All-Stars.

Durant must also be floating, he smiled: "Of course, there will be no rookies as strong as ours in the future."

The two of them teamed up and led the team to win the championship with a record winning percentage. Naturally, they can boast a wave, as if hammering for a lifetime is no problem.

"In my opinion, the twin stars of the University of Kentucky, Wall and Cousins ​​are still so-so, and Paul George and Gordon Hayward will definitely not lose money... But these outsiders are also optimistic, It has nothing to do with us.”

"For our picks, we still pay attention to those players with characteristics in the back. We may be able to get Hassan Whiteside, who is of the same type as Jr. Jordan, has enough static talent, and needs to be cultivated slowly, but our inside players A lot, it depends on the team's choice."

"On the wing, Lance Stephenson, who may fall to the second round, is barely available."

"The third point guard we want, I have a clear goal. There is also a chance to win the No. 60 pick. You must not lose the chain."

"Don't worry, I'm here, of course there's no problem." Durant patted his chest.

Durant will also play for the national team in the summer, but he can definitely keep an eye on the team's operations in the country.

After winning the championship, Durant is also happy with this kind of work.

The team's No. [-] position, the former main player Watson has been playing soy sauce this season. As a veteran, he has won the championship with the team and the team will not renew his contract, so they need to find a third point guard. .

Yi Jian felt that Jeremy Lin must be taken down in this way.

With Jeremy Lin's style of play, he could have been the sixth man seedling, and the No. 60 pick will definitely make money.

In fact, Yi Jian also communicated with the team management.

If the team does not want to spend too much money, it is not wrong to listen to the advice of the team boss.

The players recommended by Yi Jian have never disappointed.

Although Yi Jian's vision of seeing people has not been mythologized because of the different leveling progress, but Lei Ting is indeed a big boss in this respect, and everyone agrees with him in this respect.

Draft night is coming soon, and Yi Jian is also chatting with Durant and others while watching the live broadcast in China.

The draft is still the same as in the original history, and the Kentucky Five Tigers are very popular.

Their five NCAA starters, all selected in the first round, made history.

Yi Jian said sarcastically: "What are the five tigers? Even if they get together they can't win the championship. It's true that there is no hero in the time, which makes Zhu Zi famous."

The NBA draft is only affected by the NCAA record to a certain extent, and more often it depends on talent.

Many players who led the team to win the NCAA championship, if they don't participate in the election immediately, they may lose their worth. The NBA is a very realistic league.

Yi Jian didn't know how to admire those players who stayed in school and continued to struggle. He still felt that they were fooled by the head coach of the university.

Durant and others also complained together. After all, they won the championship just now, so they can naturally despise the rookies who are about to enter the league.

There are not many ruthless people this year, and when the Thunder picks the No. 30 pick, there are basically no safe choices.

Thunder general manager Presti finally decided to choose a big man. The big man is relatively safe, and Jordan has been improving all the time. He has height, wingspan and sufficient physical fitness, so he can always be used.

Unlike backcourt players, it's really useless if they don't work.

Moreover, the Thunder are not sure whether Lopez can be kept in the end at this time, so even if they don't need it now, they can choose a third center as a backup.

Therefore, the Thunder took Hassan Whiteside last in the first round.

In the 60th lottery, they took Jeremy Lin and gave Yi Jian some face, so there was no suspense.

After the draft night, Yi Jian basically devoted himself to the training camp.

There is also Yao Ming on the training list, but in fact Yao Ming is impossible to play.

The current national team, if not counting Yi Jian, is actually a relatively weak period.

Yao Ming withdrew, and Liu Wei, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi and others were no longer at their peak. The national team is in a period of transition from old to new.

During this period, no matter what kind of exercise it is, it will be more difficult.

Those like Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi, and Ding Yanyuhang still have a few years to grow up.

It will not be so easy for Yi Jian to support this period.

So during the training camp, he worked very hard and was meticulous.

Because of his style of play, the national team's tactics will definitely change.

The final selection of players will not be the same as the original history. After all, the head coaches are different, and the team's tactical direction is completely different.

Yi Jian's requirement for his teammates is to have a basket. He can attract the defense to the greatest extent. If the opponent still misses the open shot when he is open, it will be too hurt.

In addition to shooting, he can cooperate with him to defend desperately.

In a cup match, as long as the opportunity is seized, it is entirely possible for the weak to defeat the strong.

"Practice with me, I can have this three-pointer as an inside player, if you can't practice, just keep practicing for me."

There are also many young people joining the national team training. For example, Guo Ailun, the scoring champion of the U17 World Championships, with Yi Jian's status in the arena, supervises the players as a senior in the national team. It is no longer awkward.
