Chapter 49: The draft is over

After Bynum, the other teams also chose their favorite rookies in turn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, North Carolina's Sean May was selected by Jordan again, and it seems that Jordan is really in love with North Carolina players.

The remaining rookies, Sean is not very familiar with, Danny Granger was drafted by the Pacers, and this transmit-through small forward who is strong in the NCAA doesn't seem to be very popular.

After the first round of the draft, the second round also began quickly.

The Hawks, who were the first pick in the second round, said they were embarrassed that they were targeting Salim Studmeier, a player who can play point guard and shooting guard. As Stoudemire's cousin, Salim has excellent athleticism and accurate shooting, and should be a very good choice for this round pick.

Salim was supposed to be in the Hawks' observations, but ...... The team already has Sean as a point guard, and there is no need to repeat the rookie selection for this position.

So after a little hesitation, the Hawks chose Blandonbas, the power forward in this year's draft.

Blandonbass wasn't very popular in the draft, because as an interior lineman, the height was about the same as Sean's, which was a tragedy.

Also compared to Chuck Hayes, who won the MVP of the training camp, Blantonbas' advantage is that his shooting is more accurate, and his mid-range shooting is very good on the inside.

The Eagles considered it again and again and chose this inside line as a supplement.

In recent seasons, the Hawks' interior line has been very weak, so weak that people can't bear to look at it directly, and the addition of Blantonbass at least looks slightly better.

Monta Alice, who also played against Sean, was drafted by the Warriors in the second round.

And training camp MVP Chuck Hayes was very miserable and lost.

As soon as the draft ended, Sean received a call from the team manager Billy Knight, in which Billy Knight chatted with Sean very officially, hoping that Sean would come to sign as soon as possible.

For this painless call, Sean said that he did not receive any information.

There was no joy, no loss, it seemed ...... The Eagles' choice was very casual.

…………

After the draft, posts quickly appeared on China's Internet basketball forums and swept the screen.

"Ask God for guidance, who is the Chinese in this year's NBA draft? Do you have any details about him? ”

"Is Sean Lee Chinese? Who has photos and footage of his college games? ”

"Seeking the truth to be revealed, who is Sean Lee?"

Countless fans posted for help, but they didn't get much information about Sean. Some netizens pulled out the video of Sean's college game and the photos of the report, but more joy was not.

For Chinese fans, Sean is a new continent in the fog.

Sean Lee did not show up, but his fame quickly swelled in the circle of Chinese basketball fans. So much so that two days later, the Basketball Herald made a special report.

2005 List, Sean Lee.

The cover of the first page is the image of Sean Lee covering Duke King Reddick.

In this newspaper, Sean Lee's experience was poached from childhood to adulthood, his mother was white American, his father was Chinese, his grandparents grew up in China, he was once a gifted high school student at Berkeley, missed two years of games because of injury, and later joined USC and performed well, and after one season he became famous in the United States.

This kind of plot is not dared to be written in novels, but reality is often more dramatic.

Sean Lee, without knowing anything, is already on fire in China.

Even at the end of the report, there was an interview with Yao Ming.

Yao:

"I met with Lee, and he didn't speak very standardly, with a local accent in central China, but that's rare among Chinese Americans. We had a great conversation, and we will communicate more in the new season, and it is a strange feeling to meet Chinese people with the same skin and the same words in the NBA. I hope Lee's NBA journey will be smoother, and there is a lot of pressure on the top pick. ”

Many people at the top of the NBA draft have more players who can't bear the pressure from the team and fans and then play abnormally.

On the contrary, it was the players behind the draft, who were not convinced by the draft picks in their hearts, and worked hard to train and then counterattacked.

In fact, how can so many professional basketball managers and scouts, who are not fools, choose players who have no potential.

It's very difficult for a player with potential to really realise his potential.

Yao Ming's assessment is very pertinent...... But Sean simply didn't know.

After the draft, the NBA summer market ushered in a new wave of climax.

Various teams have embarked on a new round of trades and signings.

Unlike last year's big deals, this year's deals are all petty hits.

Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James were both executed by the team for the rest of the terms, as were the likes of Joe Johnson, with none of the major All-Star-caliber players moving around, and only a few role players starting to wander in order to survive in the league.

It has nothing to do with Sean, as the NBA's preseason season kicks off in November, making it the perfect holiday for most players.

But that doesn't include Sean.

Sean hired a professional basketball trainer to coach his basketball skills.

This man is called Ganon Baker.

Sean didn't spend any money, or Ganon Baker was a very smart person. Since becoming an NBA basketball trainer, Ganon Baker's popularity has continued to grow, and he has coached more and more players, but ...... The trainer who really became a well-known trainer came after coaching Stoudemire and LeBron James.

When LeBron James was not famous, Ganon Baker took the initiative to come to the door and did not need money to train for LeBron.

By the time LeBron became a superstar, he paid nearly a million dollars a year for training, and by the way, Ganon Baker advertised, and yes, his popularity increased by more than a star and a half.

For a potential rookie like Sean, Ganon Baker generously said that he doesn't have to pay for it this season.

Ganon Baker gave Sean a detailed test, including Sean's usual dribbling, breaking, and shooting moves, and then gave a professional training plan.

This includes a lot of subtle little movements.

For example, the way you push your legs when you step back and jump shot should not be too stiff and be prepared for feints later.

You don't have to wait for your body to fly to the highest point when you shoot, in fact, most of the time, the shot is fast, as long as the opponent doesn't have a block.

Even if you jump to the highest point, the probability of being capped will be greatly increased if the opposite side suddenly jumps up. And after jumping to the highest point, the strength of the wrist will be more difficult to control, and the hit rate will be reduced.

So, most of the time, when you just jump, as long as there is space, you will shoot quickly and fall naturally.

And for Sean's basketball skills, Ganon Baker also gave his own professional addition.

Sean used to either shoot three-pointers from the outside or finish offense from the inside, rarely shooting a mid-range jumper because it wasn't appropriate.

Because three-point shots are more cost-effective than two-point shots, and the interior shooting percentage is higher.

There is nothing wrong with this theory, but Ganon Baker gives a better addition.

In fact, in terms of defense, the mid-range is the weakest position in defense, the three-point shot will be defended by a dedicated player, and the interior will be assisted by someone to help defend, and only the mid-range shooting is the weakest defensive place in all positions.

Therefore, Ganon Baker's advice is to pay attention to the distribution of shooting positions unless the three-point shot is practiced to the point where it is not different from the two-point shot.
