429: The best partner to become bigger and stronger (4.6K for tickets)
The 2009 NBA Draft, to be honest, wasn't as high-profile as it had been in previous years.
Especially after last year's draft, known as the big year, this year is even more shabby.
In 2008, it was Rose, Beasley and Mayo, and it was a climax for the fans.
So this year's draft lineup is somewhat petty.
Except for Griffin, there are basically no too promising rookies.
Even Tabit can rank in the top three on the prediction list, so I ask you if you're afraid.
Speaking of Tabit, Wayne thought of Warcraft again.
Back then, Warcraft was blown up as hard + Duncan.
Good guys, Thabit blows directly into Mutombo + Olajuwon.
It's so hard to blow, it's just fairy.
Although Tabit's height and arm span are indeed beautiful, it is obvious that his figure is incongruous.
The whole person feels like the upper body of 1.7 meters is placed on the lower body of 2.2 meters, the skeleton of the upper body is as small as a guard, and the width of the shoulders is a dimensionality reduction blow compared to a muscular man like Howard.
On that basis, it can't be Olajuwon + Capper.
And Tabit hasn't been in basketball for long, and his skills have to be at the level of Olajuwon.
Wayne is not opening the eye of the sky, and even if he doesn't open the eye of the sky, Wayne will not think that Tabit can succeed.
But......
There are people in this world who believe in Tabit's talent.
Grizzly bear:???
The Grizzly Bear was also lucky, taking his sister-in-law in the second round, and the prodigal son turned back immediately after Randolph came.
Otherwise, God knows how miserable this team will be.
Wayne was also sitting in a luxury private room at this time, and in addition to his own draft, it was the first time he sat in such a capacity.
Now, with the fate of the group of guys down there, Wayne really feels ...... It's so cool!
It's like God!
It turns out that this is how the pleasure of being a general manager comes from, no wonder West likes to build his own team so much.
The game experience is excellent!
"Wei, you...... Are you really sure? "Wayne is beside you, Steve. Patterson's face was full of doubt.
"Of course, I won't change my mind, what about you?"
"I ......"
Patterson shook his head and said nothing more.
A few days ago, Patterson and Logo Man had come to an agreement.
The Warriors traded this year's No. 3 pick, an 11-year first-round pick and a 13-year first-round pick, plus Wayne's old buddy Saint Jackson, to the gun.
Because the Warriors have almost empty salary space, they can complete the deal with a 30% cap contract in the event of a salary mismatch, and they don't need to adhere to the salary matching principle.
This is also the reason why many large contracts for air deals in history have been reached.
In the original history, when Limus left the Cavaliers to go to the Heat, he also achieved it through a sign-and-trade, but the Cavaliers really changed a bunch of air......
Originally, Patterson wanted to pit West's No. 5 pick together, but West kept playing Tai Chi.
Although he is actually willing to give in his heart, it does not mean that he will give simply.
The big logo is very shrewd, willing to spend, but not indiscriminately.
After a few rounds of confrontations, looking at Pao'er, it seems that he is also interested in the Warriors, and Wayne is honestly reassured that the Logo man will not be pitted with him.
So, in line with the principle of win-win for the two brothers, they finally left a No. 5 sign to the Warriors to leave some bottom for Pao'er.
It's a dowry for Pao'er.
After all, if it's just Lefu and Ellis...... It's really hard for Pao'er to make a name for himself in the Warriors.
This is the hellish West.
So, the deal was struck.
Of course, the deal has not yet been formally reviewed by the Alliance. But after the draft is over today, it will be officially passed.
So, as a trailblazer on a championship team, he showed up in the draft today.
They will be the protagonists of this year's draft!
Patterson and Wayne have some disagreements about who should be picked with the third pick.
Patterson is more bullish on Arizona's chubby James. Harden, or the strong, tall two-way guard Terek. Evans.
The Warriors even tried out Evans for the Trail Blazers, and the performance was perfect.
But Wayne insisted that Davidson College's Stephen Brown. Curry is the better choice.
On this point, Wayne was deliberate.
The best candidates for the third pick are Evans, Harden and Curry.
In terms of personal achievements, Wayne, who is open-minded, knows that Harden and Curry can throw Evans into outer space.
But in fact, this is not the most important thing, and Wayne wants to choose Curry not because he knows that he will be great in the future.
Evans is actually the most powerful of the three.
It's no joke to be 20+5+5 in the rookie season, and you can use it next season.
But Evans is ...... In fact, it is the most glass of the three.
Well, if you look at the impression stream, Curry is the most glassy one.
But in fact, Curry has been high in attendance for the first few years of his career, except for the 11-12 season.
The title of Glass Man comes from the fact that Curry's ankle always comes back and forth, and although he doesn't have a long break every time, he always feels like he's injured a lot.
The second is the big injury that was reimbursed that season, which made people think that this guy is finished, after all, it hurts the key part of the ankle.
If it weren't for this reason, the Warriors would not have signed a child labor contract with Curry, and there would be no Galaxy Battleship behind.
But in fact, before the season was reimbursed, Curry missed a total of 10 games in the first two seasons of his career.
Needless to say, after the season is reimbursed, Curry, who has changed the way he develops, has since embarked on the road of day-to-day.
On the other hand, Curry's injury is avoidable, as long as he changes the way he develops and controls the time, it should be possible.
But Evans was different, and Wayne had the impression that the attendance of the goods was miserable.
Evans played well as a point guard, why did the Kings change their positions?
It's because Evans fell to his knees in his second season and only played about 50 games. By the third year he had returned, and the king had Thomas and Marcus Jr. Thorton, and the two are still playing well.
That's why Evans often plays the number three position.
was delayed by the king's change of position and injuries.
And Evans is not the same as Curry, although Curry has been reimbursed for one season, his attendance for the other seasons is okay.
Evans is a stretch in attendance most seasons.
Later, when he arrived at the water bird, he had just regained his second spring, and then collapsed due to injury.
After that, Evans saw that he was going to have a third spring, and the result was ...... This special drug is gone......
led to being banned from the league and self-destructing his future.
Well, that's another reason why Wayne doesn't want to pick Evans.
Who knows when this drug addiction started?
Although Birdman used to be a birdman, he has indeed reformed himself and become a bird again.
But not necessarily with Evans.
If this thing gets into the locker room, it's going to be a big problem.
Let's talk about Hu Ziden, Hu Ziden Wayne also knows, he is healthy and has unlimited potential.
In the early stage, playing the sixth person has instant combat power, and playing the core role in the later stage is a direct MVP level, which is simply Wei Ge's intimate little padded jacket.
However, Hu Ziden's disadvantage is that he was not focused on winning in the early stage of his career, and like Kobe, he is a representative figure in the NBA who does not come home at 4 o'clock in the morning.
This happy little chubby dun is lazy by nature, and although Wayne can influence him, I don't know if it will backfire if he strangles too hard.
In the later stage, he was willing to work hard and wanted to win, but he couldn't get along with his teammates.
In the original history, whether it was Howard or Lao Paoer, the ending was to have a conflict with Hu Zideng and leave.
In Wayne's previous life, before he came through, it seemed that the turtle and turtle also went to Mosaic, and Wayne didn't know how he and the turtle got along and whether they were separated.
Therefore, in the words of Hu Ziden, either Wayne was by him coming home at four o'clock in the morning, or it is very likely that there will be a situation where Hu Ziden will be in trouble after a few years.
And what does Wayne want?
It is to become bigger and stronger, to win consecutive championships, and to establish a dynasty.
Wayne has done it three times to win the championship every three times, and he doesn't want it anymore! What's the point of being so stagnant!?
Mousse: No, it's interesting, I want to......
Hard: Me too, even if it's every three or five times, as long as I can win the championship......
If you want to win consecutive championships or even build a dynasty, it's not a matter of one or two years, it's a long-term project that requires the team to stabilize.
Taking a step back, the Bearded Pioneer may not be chosen.
In the original history, Hu Ziden was the third pick, yes, the Grizzlies chose Tabit as a parallel commodity with the second pick.
But now the second pick is the Thunder, and Thunder general manager Presti is a draft talent, and he will not necessarily be blind.
Therefore, there is a good chance that Hu Ziden will be taken away in the second pick.
To sum it up:
Evans, glass, drugs.
Bearded Deng, fun-loving, noisy, not necessarily chosen.
So, none of them are the best candidates.
Stephen. Curry is a perfect fit for this.
First of all, from the perspective of injuries, although it has been labeled as glass, it has rarely missed key games, which has helped the team to develop steadily.
From a personality point of view, Curry's little comic is also very interesting and easy to get along with.
In Wayne's previous life, Curry has been with the Warriors for so many years, and he has basically never had any conflicts with his teammates, and his reputation among fans is really good.
The first brother once said that he has never seen someone as good as Curry, and Curry is the motivation for him to choose to continue playing, and he will do everything to protect Curry's achievements.
Fans have hardly ever encountered Curry playing a big name, and Wayne remembers hearing a story about a young fan's mother who stopped Curry after a game and wanted him to take a picture with her child.
As a result, Curry turned his head and found that the young fan was wearing Durant's No. 35 jersey.
Well, that game was just the Warriors lost to the Thunder in the playoffs, and Curry was really depressed.
At this time, they also took pictures with opposing fans, and most people would refuse.
The child's mother also said embarrassedly: "He's a Durant fan." ”
However, instead of getting angry, Curry responded: "It's okay, I'm also a Durant fan." ”
Finally, I patiently completed a group photo with the young fans.
Wayne hasn't really gotten along with Curry, but he really can't find any black material about his personality.
In this part of the NBA, you can't pretend if you want to.
Because the slightest disturbance in the locker room will be discovered by the media and reported.
Even so, Curry has never had anything like it.
So, Wayne believes that he and Curry will get along well.
Finally, when it comes to the level of effort, Wayne is also full of confidence in Curry at this point.
How embarrassing is it for elementary school students to graduate from high school?
His dad walked around as a former NBA player, but he couldn't find a college willing to ask for him.
Coach K bluntly said that the child's future is hopeless, and persuaded Curry to stop wasting his strength.
In fact, when he was in high school, Curry couldn't play on the second team at first.
Later, it was because Curry went through a holiday devil training with his dad that he made a name for himself in high school.
In the end, only Davidson College, a small school with a student population of 1,700 students, was willing to accept this scrawny guy.
What about Davidson College? There have been a total of 5 NBA players in history, and 4 of them are NBA players from the 60s to 70s in ancient times......
The only modern one is Brandon. Williams, it's okay if you don't know him, because he only played a total of 18 games before he completely disappeared from the league.
In other words, Davidson Academy has never produced any serious NBA players.
Davidson College is also one of the smallest teams in the NCAA Division I and has not won in March Madness since 1969.
Either you don't make it in, or it's a round.
It's a team of this level that is willing to accept Curry.
But the elementary school students did not complain, but with their actions and their own efforts, they were stunned to bring this team to the quarterfinals of Crazy March and slapped everyone in the face.
So, Curry is a hard worker, and he's a guy who wants to win.
He was never favored, but he never gave up.
Overall, Curry is the most suitable person to work with Wayne for a long time and do a big job.
He is not noisy or noisy, concentrates on playing, is easy to get along with, has a funny personality, and the key is that his ability is still online.
That's why Wayne insisted on wanting Curry, but it wasn't decided with a pat on the head.
Pao'er: Brother Wei, you scumbag, we've only broken up for a few days...... You, you, you actually recognized a new son!
Wayne: No, you're my only son.
Pao'er: ......
Just as Wayne was thinking, Stern stepped onto the stage.
Boss Si was happy, so happy. Energetic, I feel that the whole person seems to be a few years younger.
If you want to be traded, you don't have to worry about not making money because the finals ended 4-0!
No one knows balance better than I do!
Boss Si took the stage and announced the start of the draft.
Wayne clenched his fists, and Patterson took a deep breath before finally compromising, "Well, do what you want, Way." ”
"In the 2009 NBA Draft, the first pick, the Los Angeles Clippers chose ...... Blake. Griffin, from the University of Oklahoma! ”
The helmsman announced the ownership of this year's champion, and like the original history, the Tyrannosaurus rex is on it!
"The second overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder picked...... James. Harden, from Arizona State University! ”
Wayne smiled, and sure enough, the Thunder didn't repeat the old path of the Grizzlies, and Presti should say that the draft is indeed okay.
When Harden was drafted, he hugged his mother affectionately.
He told his mom he was going to be a superstar, and he took the first step!
At this time, the Logo man called and asked the Trailblazers if they had decided.
On the phone, he also made a joke.
"You won't regret it, will you?"
Can a logo man not laugh? Seeing that the thread he laid was about to be retracted.
"Just Stephen. Curry. Patterson replied categorically.
"Uh...... Are you sure? At this time, the logo man was a little confused.
Curry didn't try out for the Warriors, but Evans' tryout was excellent, and he always thought the Trail Blazers would pick Evans.
Although the Logo man is also optimistic about Curry, he still feels that this decision is a bit sudden.
"Sure, let's get started, Jerry."
"Okay, then, it's time for the show."
At this time, the agent of the elementary school student, Jeff. Austin Gang and Knicks general manager Donnie Brown. Walsh finished the phone.
He told Curry that the Knicks had found him a place to live in New York.
The family was also happy to hear it, and sat back and waited for the call of New York.
Stern took the stage again, smiling. Curry was still wondering which lucky third pick would be.
"The third overall pick in the 2009 draft, the Golden State Warriors chose ...... Stephen. Curry, from Davidson College! ”
After Stern finished speaking, Curry looked around, who was it? Why hasn't anyone stood up yet?
Wait a minute......
Stephen...... Curry ......
Isn't that this dick!
"Ahh Curry's face was full of question marks, as were his agent and family.
Wayne couldn't help but smile as he looked at Curry's bewildered expression on the big screen.
Well, the feeling of being in control of someone else's fate is so fucking cool.
