NBA’s aging star system

The University of Michigan is not unknown, and this year's Michigan is not weak either. The starting five will all be selected in this year's draft.

Nick Stauskas, the 8th pick in the first round, Adrian Payne, the 15th pick in the first round, Gary Harris, the 19th pick in the first round, Mitch McGary, the 21st pick in the first round, There is also second-rounder Glenn Robinson III.

It can also be seen from their draft picks that their strength is not bad. On the contrary, they are full of talent. Of course, this is equivalent to the NCAA. In the NBA, these guys seem to have not caused trouble yet. A lot of movement.

Of course, Su Tian, ​​a pseudo-fan, doesn't know these guys. In his opinion, they are just mere pawns and not worth mentioning. After all, there is a system. What's wrong with speaking louder?

Ahem, I didn’t say it to them, I kept mumbling to myself anyway. What are you afraid of?

Chris Cooper is a senior scout for the Warriors. He has worked for the Warriors for many years, and the scouting report he wrote was also valued by General Manager Myers.

However, Cooper was in a bit of trouble today. Looking at the scouting report in his hand, he didn't know whether to submit it to the general manager.

Name: Su Tian

Age: 19

Height: 195cm

Arm span: 203cm

Position: Point Guard/Shooting Guard

Technical characteristics: Accurate three-pointers, excellent overall view, outstanding passing vision, and high talent in off-ball running ability.

Disadvantages: Weak physical fitness, poor confrontation, questionable whether he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA.

Template: Ray Allen/Korver

Cooper's current difficulty is that he likes this little Chinese guy very much, but he does have doubts about his body.

And, most importantly, the Warriors have no draft picks this year!

If you want to select this little guy, you have to make a trade, which is a bit outweighing the gains. The key is that now that the Warriors have completed their facelift, they are not really eager for such a rookie.

"Hey, what can we do? Otherwise, forget it. The most important thing for the Warriors this year is to produce results. Potential stocks are of no use. Let's focus on immediate combat effectiveness."

Cooper said with a pity on his face as he put the scouting report aside and turned to look at other information.

Su Tian still doesn't know that the outside world has become interested in him. He is mainly focusing on the ball now.

He has also seen the draft mock rankings given by ESPN. His name was not on it at all at the beginning. Just after the last game, his name appeared in the second round, and he was still in the top ten of the second round, not counting. Low to be honest.

After all, with such physical fitness, no one can guarantee whether he can continue to play in the NBA.

If given a choice, Su Tian would of course want to go to a big city. The exposure in big cities is sufficient and he can develop his commercial value well. In addition, as a Chinese, he can receive more endorsements than There are many others, but I don’t have a choice now.

In Su Tian's view, the level of the pick is far less important than the team. No matter how high the pick is, it is just that the first rookie contract is higher, which is far less important than going to a team that suits him.

Just like the No. 6 pick of the Bucks many years ago, if he had not been drafted by the Bucks and had gone to a team that suited him, his development might have been much better than it is now.

Thinking of what happened to Emperor Yi, Su Tian also prayed in his heart, hoping to go to a place that suits him, even if his ranking is not so high.

While Su Tian was practicing hard and praying, the quarterfinals match was just around the corner.

The sound in the arena was noisy, and the scene was much bigger than before. Many timid players had already started to tremble.

It was also the first time for Su Tian to experience such a formal competition scene. Seeing that there were on-site commentators and broadcast and video stations nearby, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Of course, Su Tian was not nervous, but excited. He was so excited that his body was shaking. Now that he had absorbed almost all of the Ray Allen template cards, he was just short of a three-point attribute. He was stuck at 79 and couldn't get up.

Su Tian had a hunch that today's game might be an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough.

Over there, the Michigan players were also ready and ready to play. The players on both sides were full of fighting spirit, as if sparks were about to pop out of their eyes.

On the Kentucky side, center Stern is preparing to jump the ball. When the ball reached its highest point, Stern jumped high and used all his strength to push the ball to Kentucky.

Su Tian received the ball and slowly advanced with the ball. Because each offensive round in the NCAA is longer than that in the NBA, the NCAA has higher tactical requirements and cooperation between teammates.

Su Tian was not in a hurry when advancing with the ball. He walked forward slowly, protecting the ball and observing Michigan's defense.

When Su Tian was slowly approaching the top of the arc, the Harrison brothers on the flanks made a cross-covering run, and Andrew Harrison had a brief opening.

Su Tian got the ball in time. As soon as the ball was passed, Su Tian immediately started running without the ball, driving the opponent's defense and attracting the attention of the other two defenders.

Aaron Harrison cut to the basket in time, Randall blocked his defensive player, Andrew Harrison passed in, and Aaron Harrison received the ball and scored a layup.

Kentucky's tactics were fully realized, and everyone completed their tasks. Calipari nodded repeatedly as he watched.

But there were no smiles, because the game had just begun, and the game between the two sides was still in the trial stage.

During the transition from offense to defense, it was Michigan's turn to attack. Defender Stauskas took the ball and faced Su Tian. Stauskas smiled secretly.

"Kid, you should go back to elementary school, college is not for you." Stauskas spewed trash talk while making three threats.

Su Tian was about to respond, but Stauskas took advantage of him not paying attention and took the first step, directly leading Su Tian by one body.

"Oh, let me go, this guy is such a bastard. Do you know this is a sneak attack?" Su Tian hurriedly caught up and tried his best to interfere. Harrison on the flank saw that Su Tian's efforts were ineffective, so he had to step forward to help defend. .

Stauskas attracted the defender and immediately passed the ball to Robinson outside the three-point line. Robinson caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Seeing the proud Stauskas returning to defense with a smile, Su Tian silently cursed in his heart, "Bitch thief!" Attack me while I'm not paying attention.

Why is this different from what is written in the novel? Shouldn't he have a few words with me? Damn I must have been deceived by those authors.

In fact, there is not much time to talk trash to you on the basketball court. It is usually just one or two sentences, and there is no chance for you to chat there.

So in fact, everyone who watches football knows that those who really talk trash have either been stopped by the referee, or they just keep repeating one or two sentences during the game.

After all, the opportunity to attack is only a matter of seconds, and there is no chance for you to show off.

Su Tian received the serve and continued to advance with the ball, thinking in his mind that he had to remember and not pay attention to him.

Su Tian advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, handed the ball to Randall in the high position, and began to use his swimming skills to penetrate the opponent's defensive formation to destroy the opponent's defensive formation.

Stauskas followed Su Tian, ​​running from the left corner to the right corner, and then to the top of the key. Before he could catch up, Su Tian suddenly cut to the basket and easily received Harrison's pass. Layup.

Stauskas looked at Su Tian resentfully, "This kid's rhythm is a bit weird. He doesn't run very fast. Why is it so difficult to guard against him."

Su Tian successfully scored a goal and celebrated with high fives from his teammate Harrison.

In the next few rounds, the two sides were evenly matched, and it was extremely exciting to show off their moves.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were 40 to 42, with only one goal difference.

The good news is that Kentucky is in the lead, but the bad news is that Su Tian only played twenty minutes in the first half and his physical strength is about to bottom out!
