Zhou Xuan called his parents and told him about his itinerary and made an appointment to meet.

He had to go back to New York, and in addition to the draft, he had to participate in some activities with the "Pacific Rim" crew before going to Hong Kong. Zhou Gaozhuo and Ma Sha can go directly to Hong Kong, and they can avoid many detours.

Mitchell? Butler and Zhou returned to New York together. Before leaving, the officials of the Basketball Association invited Zhou Xuan to the most high-end restaurant for a meal.

Zhou Xuan gave the Basketball Association enough face, saying that he would win glory for the country in the Olympic Games next year, but he would not participate in Asian-level competitions. The officials of the Basketball Association immediately agreed, killing chickens with a knife? Yao Ming is also not competing in Asia at this time. Zhou Xuanken's willingness to play for the national team is enough for them to make a difference. Now that Zhou Xuan is too famous, he doesn't need to look at the face of the Basketball Association, since he can't control it, it's best to make money with anger. The Basketball Association may have a shady scene, Zhou Xuan is not interested in knowing the way, in short, it can't be black on his head.

Returning to New York for a night's rest, Zhou Xuan went to the manager's office at the Knicks headquarters the next day and met with Mullin, Richmond, D'Antoni and others.

Mu Lin smiled: "Come, you came back on time." ”

"Any ideas?" D'Antoni asked.

None of them are outsiders, Zhou Xuan is not restrained, he asked the secretary for a glass of juice, sat on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Of course there is, I suggest that the 15th rank should be chosen as a swing person, not an insider." With the 30th pick, I'd also recommend picking a swingman and then packing up Nikola (Pekovic) and JJ (Redick) to trade with the Bobcats for someone else. ”

Mu Lin was stunned for a moment and said: "We already have a lot of swing people, is it appropriate to choose swing people again?" ”

"Listen to my explanation......"

It only took less than ten minutes for Zhou Xuan to convince everyone with his excellent eloquence. His plan is not to find big names, but to find people who fit the team's system. The management believes in him, and before Zhou Xuan came, the Knicks couldn't even make the playoffs, and they are willing to try this time.

Mullin immediately contacted the Bobcat manager to negotiate, and things went surprisingly well. Just because of the person Zhou Xuan fancies, the lynx doesn't plan to stay.

On the 24th, the 2011 NBA Draft was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Zhou Xuan, Mullin and D'Antoni arrived at the draft site together. Although the NBA may be suspended, the atmosphere of the draft is still the same as in previous years, which affects the hearts of many people. There are a lot of interior players in this draft, and last year, some of them were able to be lottery picks.

The much-anticipated Duke's freshman point guard Kyrie? Irving was picked by the Cavaliers with the first pick in the first round to become the new No. 1 pick.

Striker Derek? Williams was drafted by the Timberwolves to be the roster of the roster. Jazz chose the Turk Enas? Canter. The Knights chose Tristan? Thompson, the Raptors drafted Younas? Valan Yunas. Wizards choose Jane? Vesely, the king's choice of Bismarck? Biyombo. With the exception of Irving, the other teams were all inside. It wasn't until the Pistons No. 8 that Blanton was drafted? Knight......

The Morris brothers were intercepted by the Suns and the Rockets, respectively. The Knicks were not surprised, and Zhou Xuan had already analyzed that they might be robbed, because the two teams needed the interior more than the Knicks.

The Knicks first used the No. 15 draft pick traded from the Pacers to select swingman Cowie? Leonard. With the thirty pick, the Knicks chose Chandler again? Parsons, swingman at positions 3 and 4.

This is Zhou Xuan's idea, since he is looking for a pitcher, it is better to be able to play the No. 4 position than to choose Singel, who can only play small forward.

Parsons has good body side data, barefoot height 205CM, shoes height 208CM, weight 100kg, arm span 207CM, standing in place and touching height 270 meters, fat rate 7%, bounce height in place 65CM, running bounce height 80CM, and 11 round-trip runs in the restricted area. 05 seconds, 3/4 sprint 3. 29 seconds.

Zhou Xuan's choice was based on looking at the side of the body, although Parsons University data is average, and the fourth year is only 11. 4 points 7. 8 rebounds 2. 6 assists. He is older and has limited potential, but all the body side statistics are very similar to Gallinari, but there are too many good seedlings on the inside this year to not be noticed. Another French youngster similar to him, Batum, has already played. It is definitely worth signing him at the end of the first round, and there is one more person in the No. 4 position who can break through the misplaced defenders.

ESPN's live commentator Joan Barry was surprised: "What is the Knicks trying to do? Before the game, everyone thought they were going to choose the inside line, but it turned out that there were two swingmen who were definitely going to make a trade. ”

Van Gundy smiled, "I think everyone will know the answer in a while." The two youngsters looked very excited, thinking about it, playing next to Zhou Xuan, those who can shoot are easy to play statistics. ”

This was bad news for Fields, and if even one of the two swingmen was left, he would most likely be sent away.

Rocket manager Morey sat not far away, looked at Mullin's position, hammered his thigh hard, and cursed in his heart.

Is this guy looking for trouble? I was scolded when the Warriors took Zhou Xuan away, and I was robbed by the Knicks? Morey was blown out by Mullin's lungs. The Rockets also lacked a small forward, and after sending Battier away, they had to let Battinger start, so they wanted to pick a small forward. And the Rockets don't want to give Hayes, the pocket interior who played beautiful numbers last season, a high-salary contract extension, so they also need an interior line.

So the Rockets picked Marcus before the Knicks? Morris. According to previous media analysis, the Knicks are likely to choose Marcus, who is in love with each other and hits it off. The Rockets were the first to sabotage, and Morey was still complacent. If Leonard was chosen, Morey felt that it was not worth it, and the target was on Parsons, but not long after, he was slapped in the face. Parsons predicted a second-round pick, and the Rockets were ready to sign with a second-round pick, but the Knicks preempted him.

Morey immediately called Mullin and asked if he was willing to trade, but Mullin refused, saying that he wanted to keep Parsons to play. Morey sighed, knowing that there was no play.

The rocket's plan was disrupted, and another inside line was chosen, 211CM Jeromy? Taylor. I don't know who to choose, it's right to choose the inside line, the transaction value is greater than the outside line, and the biggest thing in the league is the big man.

This year's draft is instantly tradable. The Spurs wanted a small forward, Jefferson was old, and Popovich also called Mullin, who was reluctant to let Leonard go, saying that he couldn't look down on the Spurs' chip Hill. Why do the Knicks need to find this kind of two-way guard?

The Spurs had no choice but to carry out the second plan, trade with the Bucks, and trade Nahill for 203CM forward Tobias? Harris, who is very strong, can play swingman in the No. 3 and No. 4 positions. In order to seek salary parity, there is also a third-year Bucks forward Luke? Bamot.

Bamot has not been able to develop offensive ability, and the Bucks prefer to use Ilyasova and Margety, and Bamot will be marginalized and simply sent away to strengthen the outside line and form a backcourt double.

The Spurs are risky to give up a rising rookie in the team's important rotation and trade for a rookie and blue-collar player with a high level of uncertainty, and they do it for the paycheck.

Next season over George? Hill will be a restricted free agent, the Spurs don't want to spend a lot of money on a pair of guards in the backcourt, the team's Jefferson, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker all have big contracts, and the Spurs management has made rationalizing wages a top priority.

Harris is a good forward and can even defend three positions, and while he's not a good three-point shooter, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to practice these things with the Spurs. If he doesn't practice, Popovich will definitely scold him until he swallows feces and kills himself.

Next, the Timberwolves made a chain trade. Always rebuilding and never surpassed......

The Timberwolves first put the No. 20 pick and Jonny? Flynn packed and sent to the Rockets in exchange for Brad? Miller and a future first-round pick, and then they were traded for two future second-round picks and this year's No. 43 rookie Malcolm? Lee and some cash. They traded the pick from No. 20 to No. 23, then to No. 28, then to No. 31, and the more they switched, the further back they went.

After Sina commented that Ke Fan read it, he sighed in Fan Wei's tone: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and the brain is sick, and the manager of the Timberwolf can be cured." ”

The Rockets got Flynn and Motai Yunas in the trade and sent away the garbage contract Brad? Miller and the 2013 Lotto protected first-round pick. Flynn's performance last season was a mess, but Miller was even worse, he couldn't even play next season, had surgery and was out until February, and Flynn's salary was 1.5 million lower, and the only thing the Timberwolves could be thankful for was that draft pick.

The Rockets suddenly went from a lack of interior to a three-rookie interior line, and Morey couldn't be happier at all.

The Celtics traded the Nets for the No. 25 pick to the No. 27 pick and a 2014 second-round pick, and the Nets got the most mature scoring weapon in the backcourt, Shawn? Brooks, known as "Kobe Bryant" Jr., Vujacic doesn't have to renew his contract.

And the Celtics intercepted the Heat and got Jajuan? Johnson, a replica of Ty? Gibson, Glenn? Davis's departure made sense.

This is a war without gunpowder, especially between strong teams, not only to strengthen themselves, but also to find opportunities to disgust their opponents. Choose someone else's rookie and let others have no show to choose from.

The Knicks also made a trade with the Bobcats. They sent Pekovic, Redick, 2-for-1 trade Bobcats starting center Tyson? Chandler. The Bobcats didn't make the playoffs, and Chandler played 29. 4 minutes, you can get 8. 3 points 9. 2 rebounds. During his two years at the Bobcats, his stats were mediocre and fortunately he was not injured again.

As soon as the deal was made, reporters thought the Knicks were crazy. Pekovic showed great offensive ability last season, while Chandler was sold by the Hornets and Bobcats in a row. Some say the Knicks traded a future star interior for a blue-collar job.

Zhou Xuan doesn't think so, he has personally experienced Chandler's defense several times, this spring man is very powerful, and he is exactly the inside gate that the Knicks need. As long as he stays under the basket, Chandler can also attract defense, and the Knicks only lose 14 points from the low post and give the shot to others, how much less efficient can they be? How many fewer points can Chandler's presence give his opponent? In this way, to say that Pekovic is a future star is definitely an overestimation of him.

Sending Redick away, the Knicks no longer have to think about the overlap between Matthews and him. Stephenson and Leonard can be substitutes in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions.

Before the summer free agency market opened, the Knicks completed an important reinforcement, and they only needed to find another interior backup to replace Murphy.
