I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 187 It is difficult to become a talent in the middle peak since ancient times...

As early as Liu Baoqiang had just secured the number one lottery.

He has already ordered Rice to trade the No. 4 pick.

As for why?

Of course, it is too extravagant to choose a rookie with the No. 4 pick.

Michael Beasley was right.

The Nets really need to supplement the inside position, whether it is a power forward or a center.

But supplements should also pay attention to cost performance.

More attention should be paid to applicability and functionality.

In addition, there has been a saying since ancient times that it is difficult to become a talent in the middle.So Liu Baoqiang wanted to trade his high picks for a few middle picks.Cast your net wide and catch more fish.

Of course, such a transaction party may not be easy to find.After all, Liu Baoqiang only has one draft pick, and it can only be traded to one party.And this side must also have multiple mid-range picks.Then the difficulty naturally exists.

But after a few days of hard work, such a transaction party was finally found.

That's right, the Pacers.

Since the incident at Auburn Palace.

The Pacers are completely lonely.

After all, the main players are all suspended for dozens of games.By the time they slow down, the league will have changed.

Coupled with the loss of old players, the lack of new players.Even the Pacers have been looking for a change.But it still doesn't work.

Especially last season.Little O'Neal is completely in decline.Ron Artest has also been traded to the Kings long ago.Danny Granger couldn't support the scene again.

So the Pacers decided to completely reorganize.

Reorganization?Definitely need a cornerstone player first.

But Danny Granger obviously can't take on this important task.

Then of course you have to look for targets in the draft.

It is also the Pacers who keep pointing their backs.The record is not good.But he still couldn't get the pick.Even among the rookies selected, basically none of them turned out to be talented.

Then they can only make persistent efforts.

Fortunately, after a few seasons of tossing, they do have a lot of draft picks.

So when the Nets came to the door….

"The 13th pick in the first round and the 21st pick? Rice, you tell the Pacers that they have less! Don't look at it as a No. 4 pick, but except for Derrick Rose and Kevin Love, they can choose the rest of the players. ! And you can also tell them that I am going to the Nets, and you can also give them some help in the selection of rookies!"

Just getting in touch with Bu, Xing Zhe's sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient.At least they have taken out the two highest picks.

But it's a business after all.It is the kingly way to start the price on the ground and pay back the money on the ground.It can't be that I want what you give.

Fortunately, Liu Baoqiang's gold-lettered signboard is really good.So the Pacers exchanged a future first-round pick and a second-round pick for the Rockets' No. 25 pick.

So Liu Baoqiang recommended Russell Westbrook, the cornerstone of reconstruction, to them.

…………

Back to the draft scene!

When the Pacers selected JaVale McGee with the 13th pick in the first round.

In fact, Liu Baoqiang's family has not been in the draft zone for a long time.

After all, he had to follow his son!

According to the selection process,
After taking the stage to "commemorate",
Then I got to the interview area.

Other rookie interviews may not be too long.

But Liu Xiaofeng is indeed the leader of the thief...
No way, who let him have a super giant dad?
And after being interviewed by the United States, you have to accept domestic interviews.Coupled with the status of being the No. [-] scholar.That question and nonsense is not flying all over the sky.

And when I finally finished all these things.

Liu Baoqiang first asked Li Yixin to accompany his son to the hotel to rest.I have to go to the private room of the Nets to take care of the rest.

After all, now is not the same as before.

I can't be a shopkeeper anymore.

Liu Baoqiang has to do many things by himself...

...Maybe this is the difference between working for others and working for yourself...

"It's almost as you predicted. No one in the top 10 wants to choose JaVale McGee, who is not a high-level golfer. But you know that this guy is not focused enough to play. Why do you have to choose him? Do you have any method to change him?"

After coming to the private room.Rice reported the current draft situation to Liu Baoqiang.After all, this guy wasn't there just now.Gotta know the details.

Of course, Rice will never question Liu Baoqiang's draft vision.Is it just the purpose of knowing that it can't be done?But Les couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"Hehehehe...Why should I change him? Didn't this kid play well in college? And he is also quite creative! And his physical talent is so good? Why don't we choose him! Besides, which kid There is nothing wrong with it! As long as he knows what he should do on the court? There is no need to be so harsh!"

This year is indeed a big draft year.

And it was a year for centers.

Like Kevin Love, the Lopez brothers, Roy Hibbert.Jason Thompson.And JaVale McGee, who has a little problem... .

But even so much, from Liu Baoqiang's point of view.JaVale McGee is more suitable for his son.

As we all know, Liu Xiaofeng's current speed is not fast, even relatively slow for the younger generation of players.In addition, the athletic ability is not too strong.Jumping is even more hip pulling.Therefore, Liu Baoqiang must find him an inside partner with complementary abilities.

Of course, as for the explanations that Liu Baoqiang gave Rice just now, they are purely his nonsense...

He just fell in love with JaVale McGee's physical talent... .As for others?We can only talk about it when the time comes...

What's more, this is only one of his options.

There are two first-round picks from the Pacers and a second-round pick from the Nets themselves, which are useless.

And the Nets' second-round pick is quite high.The third pick in the second round.Still have some value.

So why worry about these issues now?
What should you really be worried about?They should be the only two people currently staying in the lottery zone, right?
Dimension two?

Right!

There are a total of 14 positions in the lottery.

After Liu Xiaofeng broke in...

Now it's No. 14 again.

There must only be two people left.

Among these two people, except for Michael Beasley.There is also Anthony Randolph, a power forward who belongs to the same position as him, but is 2 meters tall.

The team with the No. 14 pick is the Hornets who moved to New Orleans!
As for who the Hornets will choose, let's look at their current lineup.

Chris Paul, Pejastojakovic, Maurice Peterson, David West, Tyson Chandler.

Generally speaking, the Hornets' main lineup seems to be lacking in everything.Then there must be a lack of substitutes.

So they ended up going with…Anthony Randolph….

There is no way to say that it is a substitute, and a substitute should look like a substitute.

Michael Beasley like a backup?How humiliating it would be if he really made someone a substitute.

And so far, the No. 19 favorite has completely fallen out of the lottery zone.It was not picked up by the Cavaliers until the [-]th pick in the first round.After all, Ben Wallace of the Cavaliers can only be regarded as a defensive gatekeeper, and such a power forward is really needed.So people's choice is also very reasonable.

Then the next step is the No. 21 pick belonging to the Nets.

And their choice is…….
