The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 139 The Third Battle Begins

John Lucas had a headache. He thought that Jerry West would not cooperate with him, but he didn't expect such a lack of cooperation. Is it really good for all colleagues to do this?

"Jerry, your offer is too outrageous, I can't accept it at all." John Lucas was still dealing with Jerry West.

The man with the logo remained unhurried, "John, how about this? I don't want your second pick this year. I want the 98, 00 and 02 ones. What do you think? I'm not interested in Jerry Stackhouse."

Damn, what's the difference? Isn't this back to the original topic, how can you lose if you exchange three for one, and next year's draft will be Michael Olavokandi, known as the Big Dream II. Although his talent is not as explosive as Duncan's, he is basically scheduled to be the No. [-] pick next year.And the second pick in my hand can't choose any good people at all. Whether Chauncey Billups or Keith Van Horn, they are much worse than Duncan, although Keith Van Horn is known as another successor to Larry Bird.

But for me, I don't need it at all, because the Jordan successors in my team have to be cleared out, so what about Larry Bird's successors, a few of these successor titles have been played out.There are only a handful of Jordan's successors, at least Hill, Hardaway, and Larry Bird's successors. There is really none. Tom Gugliotta entered the All-Star this season, but he still didn't lead the Huskies to the playoffs. He is also Larry Bird's successor. Can Keith Van Horn reach his level in the future?

"No, Jerry, your asking price is too outrageous. Tim Duncan is very strong, but he is not Chamberlain."

The guy with the logo is very clear about John Lucas' thoughts. Duncan had his eye on John Lucas in 95. Unfortunately, he didn't plan to participate in the draft at all. This time he came to the Grizzlies as the general manager, and then a nugget fell from the sky. He just gave him such a No. [-] lottery.

"John, in my opinion, Tim Duncan's potential is no worse than that of Chamberlain, and my request is very reasonable. If you can't agree, then forget it. I have no interest in Jerry Stackhouse anyway."

Hey, it seems that there is nothing to talk about. Mom sells it, and John Lucas has been rejected again. Why is Jerry Stackhouse damned, why is no one asking for him?

Blame that bastard Brad Greenberg. If it wasn't for that idiot who insisted on choosing Iverson, a guy who only has baskets and no teammates in his eyes, and Xiao Tian was chosen, there wouldn't be so many bad things.

It wasn't just the Philadelphia family who came to test the No. [-] pick, but also the Spurs, Celtics, and Nets. They were all scared away when they heard the offer from the logo man. No one would be willing to exchange three first rounds for a No. [-] pick.

If the general manager of these teams is a time-traveler, they will definitely change, because in 98, 00, and 02, there is only one mvp Dirk Nowitzki in these three drafts. Others include Carter, Truth, Yao Ming, and Stoudemire. Due to various reasons, these people have no way to compare with Duncan.

This also means that Duncan will be selected by the Grizzlies 100% of the time. As for some people will definitely say why McGrady is not selected, come on, McGrady’s current reputation is not as high as that of Billups and Keith Van Horn.Therefore, if he is selected with the No. [-] pick, it is definitely not a wise choice. Of course, in this draft, his popularity is definitely the first, but his historical status still cannot be compared with Duncan.

Amid the turmoil, the third game of the second round of the playoffs had already begun. This time, they were going to Salt Lake City to play, and they played there for two consecutive games. If they wanted to completely eliminate the Jazz, they had to win both games.

For the Grizzlies, Paul Westphal didn't put too much pressure on the team. The Grizzlies are making history now, and they can afford to lose. After all, the Grizzlies are the youngest team in the league. They beat the Jazz 2-0 in the second round, which is enough to surprise people.

Outside the Jazz's home energy solution center, there are many Salt Lake City fans gathered at this time.

"Damn rookie, go home, the victory will belong to the Jazz."

"John will definitely beat you to tears today."

………………

The fans in Salt Lake City had infinite resentment towards Xiao Tian, ​​but they didn't explode any racist remarks anymore, because during the regular season, Xiao Tian and the Jazz team arguing, made the entire Utah state the focus of attention. After all, Xiao Tian is now an all-American idol, and no one in the Jazz can compare to it.

The Jazz players sitting at home played very proactively. Stockton also changed the slowness of the previous two games. He began to interact with Xiao Tian continuously. Stockton, who was omnipotent in the series against the Lakers, returned.In the first quarter, Stockton scored 6 points and 4 assists. The fans on the sidelines were all excited, but Xiao Tian still scored 8 points and 5 assists. Although Stockton played with momentum and strength, Xiao Tian was not comparable to third-rate guys like Yu Zong and Scott.

Jerry Sloan's face didn't relax because the Jazz took the lead in the first quarter, because the Jazz had no way to stop Xiao Tian's performance.

In this game, Big Ben defended Ma Long alone, and Ma Long felt all kinds of uncomfortable being beaten by Big Ben, because this guy's small movements were no less than his own.

Malone's fight was uncomfortable, and the death ray gun was raining three-pointers on the outside. Damn, this guy started to explode again, and Xiao Tian had a headache. In this game, Stockton is also in good condition for the Jazz. If Ben defends Malone, these two people are enough to destroy the Grizzlies.

Sloan was very happy to see that the dead light gun fired, but he immediately thought of the fact that the other party refused to renew the contract, which made Sloan's heart become anxious again. Because the signing was once a year, the dead light gun was not a restricted free agent at all. He could sign with whoever he wanted, and he had no choice.
