I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 168 An Unprecedented Brawl?

This time in previous years is also the time when the draft is held.Liu Baoqiang usually returned to China long ago.

After all, as a scout, he only needs to recommend suitable candidates.Then according to the situation of the draft lottery.Given his own intentional choice, there is nothing wrong with him.So he can walk very simply.

But this year is the time to get here after all.

Plus disagree with previous years.

The current Trail Blazers lineup remains intact.

There remains a coherent hope.

To be honest, there is no time to train newcomers at all.

So the draft picks in their hands have become a burden instead.

In particular, these picks still belong to the level of neither high nor low.It gives people a feeling of pity to abandon and uncomfortable to eat.

The Trail Blazers have a total of 4 draft picks this year.

Three first rounds and one second round.

One of the first rounds belongs to the Blazers themselves.However, based on the current record situation, it is conceivable what pick the Blazers can draw.

The other two first-round picks.

They were obtained from the 76ers in a four-party transaction.There is also one of the pieces that Liu Baoqiang extorted from the Nets when trading Bobby Simmons.

And the result of the lottery is,
The 76ers won the 12th pick in the first round.

The Nets picked the No. 17 pick in the first round.

The Trail Blazers' own first-round pick drew No. 28.In the second round, the No. 28 lottery of the second round was drawn...

Let's not talk about the Blazers' two picks to themselves.

No. 12 and No. 17 in the first round.

Logically speaking, it can be regarded as a draw that can be used once.

But like said before.

The Trail Blazers simply don't have time to develop these rookies.

Then Liu Baoqiang put forward his own opinion.

Combine all the Blazers' picks and try to trade as high as possible.

Fight for the taller one among the dwarfs.Get a little essence out...

But to be honest, this situation may not be easy to operate.

This year's draft situation is definitely not like Liu Baoqiang fooling the Grizzlies.What a draft year.

But it is indeed a rare draft year.

Just like Greg Oden and Kevin Durant in the battle for the No. [-] pick.

As long as it is the team that gets the No. [-] pick.It is estimated that it is impossible to trade if killed.

Of course, the Trail Blazers didn't expect the deal to be that high.

The first four, five and six are considered within the scope of our consideration.

Then it depends on which of these teams is willing to trade.

First up is the Grizzlies with the No. 4 pick....

Liu Baoqiang suggested that the team should not even try.

After all, the Grizzlies followed his advice, and they failed completely.And also successfully won the bottom one in the Western Conference....

As a result, I got the No. 4 lottery.It is estimated that no bad team will be in a worse mood than them this year.

But as the saying goes, geese have plucked their hair.

As the general manager of the Trail Blazers, John Nash still feels that he should ask...

"What? You want to talk to Liu about this? Well, he's by my side, I'll give him the phone!"

But who would have thought that John Nash had just made a phone call and that someone named him would discuss this issue with Liu Baoqiang?
"? Hello? Mr. Fratello? Are you looking for...?"

John Nash contacted Grizzlies head coach Mike Fratello.That is, the unrecognized head coach.

This made Liu Baoqiang curious, what is the other party planning to talk to him about?Could it be after the autumn to settle accounts...?
"I think you have also seen that the Grizzlies have very bad luck in this year's draft. The most likely candidate for the No. 4 pick is Michael Conley! Originally, this can be regarded as meeting our minimum expectations! But now the Grizzlies The internal situation has changed, but the No. 4 pick can be considered for trading!"

"??"

There is a way but the law is not passed on to the six ears...

compared to John Nash.Mike Fratello is more willing to talk to Liu Baoqiang.

No way, who made Liu Baoqiang keep giving him bad ideas....I guess he already regarded Liu Baoqiang as a dog-headed military advisor...?In addition, the current situation of the Grizzlies is indeed a bit complicated.If he has no clue, he should just look for someone to talk to.

The beginning of the matter still has to be traced back to Pau Gasol.

Youdao is the deep responsibility of love.

As the backbone of the Grizzlies.Another player developed by the Grizzlies themselves.The Grizzlies have high hopes for Acceler.

But the problem is that Gasol always has that kind of attitude for the Grizzlies. I originally wanted to illuminate the moon, but the moon shines on the ditch.

Why do you say that?
As we all know, Gasol injured himself last season because he went to represent Spain in the World Championships.Is it understandable that people are patriotic?The Grizzlies really have nothing to say even if they wanted to.

Kawaii should also take into account the feelings of their own team.

It was also this year that the Grizzlies didn't even make the playoffs.So their offseason started early.

As a result, the patriotic Gasol represented Spain in the European Championship.So I got hurt again...

Although the injury was not serious this time, it was only a slight sprain.It will definitely be fully recovered before the start of the new season.

But it also sounded the alarm for the Grizzlies.

After all, they are also afraid.

According to Gasol so patriotic?

This year we play the European Championships, next year we have to play the Olympic Games, the next year is the World Championships, and then the European Championships....If the game continues like this, is this TND still a player of his own team?

So the top management of the Grizzlies has changed a bit.Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.They are going to trade Gasol.Let other teams take that risk.

So far, only the Lakers have expressed a very strong will.It's just that willingness is one thing... but the Lakers simply can't afford to give chips right now.

Originally, the Grizzlies were based on the mentality of clearance sale.Want to trade Gasol.Lakers rookie Andrew Bynum in 05.But the Lakers are reluctant.After all, Bynum's progress this season is very obvious and has the potential to become an All-Star.The Lakers count from top to bottom.In addition to Kobe, Bynum can help them support the appearance.So in their view, if Bynum is traded out, the value of Gasol will drop a bit.

So now the two teams are still negotiating.

"? Is there any brain hole in your team? That's Gasol? An extremely scarce organizational center in the league! Don't talk about Bynum! Even if you take Kobe for a single exchange, you have to weigh it! There is no loss. You guys are such a loser! How about you stop looking for the Lakers and trade directly with us? We trade Zach Randolph for your Pau Gasol!"

At first Liu Baoqiang thought so.The Grizzlies actually have internal turmoil.So is it very likely that their No. 4 pick will be traded to the Trail Blazers?
Unexpectedly, the cause of the turmoil was Gasol.And Gasol is very likely to go to the Lakers?

Do you know what this means?

It means that there will inevitably be a powerful stumbling block in the coherent road of the pioneers.

Kobe Gasol?There is also Bynum who seems to have unlimited potential.Obediently...If you pair the Lakers with two defensive forward players.The Trail Blazers may not even make it to the Western Conference Finals.

At this time, Liu Baoqiang couldn't care less about the issue of Line 4.This guy absolutely does not allow such obstacles to exist.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to trade Zach Randolph.After all, this guy is also one of the important championship puzzles for the Trail Blazers.It is estimated that even if he promised the whole Portland, no one would agree.It is even more impossible for the alliance to agree.

And Liu Baoqiang is just using this method to explain the value of Gasol.

But the primary problem now is, of course, that the deal cannot be made.

So Liu Baoqiang can only continue to fool and instigate...

"Fratello! My old buddy! Don't think what I said just now is ugly! Gasol is patriotic! Even his behavior, you should be grateful! Because only such players have a sense of collective honor! I will play for you wholeheartedly! Besides, you have at least won the No. 4 pick this year! You can continue your strategy from last season, and pair it with a small forward who is extremely mobile and offensive! It will definitely produce very good results!
Just like the one in the one in this year's draft..., yes!Kevin Durant!This guy is your jigsaw puzzle!Of course, your No. 4 pick will definitely not pick him!If the No. 4 pick is not selected, we can think of other ways! ...Well...the Trail Blazers can win the championship this year!It must have a huge relationship with your generous gift of Battier to us!Right, that is it!Count us the Blazers owe you a favor!Let's work together!See if I can get you this player!

A marksman!An offensive kaleidoscope!Plus an organizational center!God, what the hell did I do?Isn't this creating roadblocks for ourselves?But who made our Trail Blazers owe you the Grizzlies such a big favor!Who told me to regard you as my own brother!That's it!You must not agree to a deal with the Lakers, not even Bynum!Wait for my message, and I will definitely come up with a solution! "

After hanging up the phone.Liu Baoqiang often lost his breath.

"What the fuck is this all about?"

Among the strong teams in the West, there is actually a potential rule.That is even if you trade your own star.Just a little more sane team.They will trade their stars to the East.After all, they can't be enemies, can they?And once the Grizzlies' current situation succeeds.That's not just making enemies, it's making countless enemies.And it also created a powerful enemy for the Trail Blazers.

So treat this thing.

Even if the Trail Blazers suffer a little.It must also be destroyed.

"Mr. John! Hurry up and find that guy Nate! Let him ask if there is a possibility of trading the No. 2 pick at the Supersonics! This is a major matter that affects our continuity!"

When Liu Baoqiang called, John Nash was always by his side. ...After all, he was the one who gave the phone to Liu Baoqiang....

So of course we can get a general idea from Liu Baoqiang's talk.And this kind of thing is also a matter of life and death for him.Of course he acted immediately.

As for why he asked Nate McMillan about the Sonics.Isn't this nonsense?This player has been a veteran of the Sonics from the player period to the coaching period.It doesn't matter whether people take the tea cold now.The news channel must be more accurate than the average person.

And Nate McMillan does have this ability.The three of them met and discussed the matter roughly 5 minutes later.

Accurate information is obtained.

And it's not just news about draft picks, there's even more exciting news.

That is, the Sonics are going to be completely reorganized for the new season.Even they have become deadlocked due to their relationship with the Seattle city government.The team is ready to move.

So people are really doing a big sale.

At present, Ray Allen's selling situation has almost been discussed with the Celtics.

So the pick trade is really possible.But the stakes are certainly not low.After all, they are all ready to reorganize, so good and bad are the same.Of course, you can get a handful of them.

"Well, it's okay, as long as there is something to talk about! Let's discuss with the Grizzlies and send a few more draft picks to the Sonics! After all, the reorganization requires rookies! The more the better, they are absolutely happy!"

As mentioned earlier, countless drafts are risky after all.Instead of choosing only one with a high ranking, it is safer to naturally cast a wide net and catch more fish.

So Liu Baoqiang believes that this operability is still feasible!

But now, after all, time is very tight.

There are only three days left in the draft.

He has to hurry up and urge the Grizzlies to make up their minds, and then they can talk to the Supersonics after integrating resources!
However, things often change rapidly!
Day 2!Liu Baoqiang just found out that the Grizzlies had some clues, and they were in the middle of a dialectic between the minority and the majority, and there was still great hope of stopping this deal.It was a good start.

But in the end, a sudden call made Liu Baoqiang unable to do it again...

"Dayao, why did you call brother again? Didn't you just congratulate brother on winning the championship two days ago, what? Is it hard to understand that you want to come here to win the championship? Hehe... If you really want to buy , brother find a way to work for you!"

"........."

As the first domestic player to rely on his own strength to win the championship!Liu Baoqiang is the benchmark!Yao Ming doesn't agree, and probably won't!Of course, Yao Ming is modest and generous, and congratulated him immediately!
However, it was precisely because congratulations had been sent earlier that the phone call suddenly came within a few days!Liu Baoqiang also made fun of it by the way!

"Brother Liu, I know you're amazing, but I've had a good time in the Rockets! Don't make fun of me! But I didn't want to call you, but I had to call the Basketball Association... .”

"?"

"Isn't our country's Yi Jianlian going to participate in the draft this year? And the predicted pick is still very high. This year, the Timberwolves, who hold the No. 7 pick, have already made a promise! They really want to get Allen, and they also promised to focus on training him. !

But who would dare to guarantee anything about the draft?The Basketball Association is also afraid that if something goes wrong, what if the Timberwolves break their promise?And if Allen's pick drops too much!But after all, the front has already been blown to the sky, and the domestic basketball circle can't afford to lose this person!So I just want to see if this happens to you, is it possible to use the No. 12 pick in your hands to pick A Lian!After all, with your status in the Trail Blazers!It must be a matter of one sentence!And this is what the Basketball Association means, I'm just passing on the word... "

What is national conditions?China is a humane society.Even Liu Baoqiang is abroad.But the domestic practice still follows this routine.

So Liu Baoqiang understands this approach.

But given the current situation.Liu Baoqiang is really not that helpful.But out of concern that another Chinese is about to land in the alliance...In addition, there is no way to say things too clearly now.Then Liu Baoqiang can only practice Tai Chi first....

"Oh, it's really hard to say! But even if the Timberwolves break their trust, so what? As long as he has more skills, the team wants him! Besides, Allen probably can only serve as a substitute for Garnett if he goes. Why not start with the main force in a big team! Then we brothers will find a way to add up! Take care of each other and develop together...!"

It is said that it is a humane society.After that, mutual support will definitely be indispensable.Besides, Liu Baoqiang wanted to keep some contacts for his son.So what he said was not completely false.

But he didn't tell lies, and Yao Ming didn't tell lies either, and even revealed another piece of news to him.And this news almost stunned Liu Baoqiang...

"The Timberwolves want Allen not to be a substitute for Garnett! If they don't break their promise, it is really possible to train Allen as the main force! Garnett no longer wants to stay in the Timberwolves. They are negotiating a deal with the Celtics." If the Celtics can afford it! In the new season, Garnett will join the Celtics and Pierce! Of course Allen will be able to replace Garnett!"

"???(⊙o⊙)What? Garnett is going to the Celtics too! What the hell is going on? The Lakers want to form a team, and the Celtics want to form a team even more ?

His grandma is a bear, the new season hasn't started yet, why do I feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from the championship...? "
