Wang Xiao sent Danny away again. Green?

This time, people's reaction was a little smaller, after all, there is still a gap between Green and Harden in terms of value.

Although Green has been playing as a starter for the Wizards, he actually averages more than 20 minutes per game, and more often than not, his place is occupied by Harden who comes off the bench.

However, Green played quite well in 20 minutes of playing time, averaging 9.7 points per game, shooting more than 40% from three-point range, and excellent defensive ability to prove to the league that he is a great 3-and-D player.

Such a player can be a starter on any team, but Wang Peng traded him out with a No. 23 pick.

"What does he want to do? Is he going to make that newly drafted shooting guard Klay next season. Was Thompson a starter? Can a first-year rookie afford to play both offense and defense with Harden and Green? ”

No one understood what Wang Xiao was doing, but Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately used the Rockets' draft pick to replace Jimmy. Butler chosen.

As a result, Wang Xiao now has three future top strikers in his hands.

Paul. George, Kawai. Leonard, Jimmy. Butler.

This feeling is like eating crispy noodles when he was a child, Wang Xiao even thought that he would wait until next year to choose Drummond. Green, after cutting off the letter brother Antetokounmpo in 13 years, can he directly put on a lineup of the five dead?

Of course, such a thing can only be thought about for a while, what will happen in the next two years, how can it be known now?

The draft is still going on, and the Bulls have no reaction from Wang Xiao, after all, they were just going to draft Butler with the No. 29 pick, which is not a pick to be expected, and without Butler, there are a lot of players who can be replaced.

In the end, the Bulls chose Kyle, who was selected to the All-NBA First Team in the Atlantic Coast Conference during his college years. Singler.

And Wang Xiao, who held the last first-round spot, was not polite, and directly put Chandler. Parsons won.

Wang Xiao's move made more people start to be strange.

What exactly does Wang Xiao want to do? Wholesale Striker?

Leonard, Butler, Parsons, that's already three forward players!

The Wizards don't have a shortage of forwards at all, and Paul is not short of them. George is still on the rise, Caron. Butler's state has not declined significantly, these two people can occupy all the playing time of the forward, and now Wang Xiao has selected three more forwards, and the position of small forward has instantly become five!

While most of these forwards can be used as swing guards, switching back and forth between shooting guards, small forwards, and power forwards, it's still a bit too much, right?

What about the center? What about the inside line? Why didn't the Wizards pick any of the interior players they desperately needed?

Many TV expert commentators who broadcast the whole process of the draft conference live began to shake their heads.

"It seems that the great success of two consecutive years has made the young Chinese coach start to swell, he no longer thinks about the reasonable combination of the team's lineup, but stubbornly chooses players who he thinks are excellent, which is obviously unwise, just like a certain year is a big year for point guards, you can't choose 12 point guards to play on the court, right?"

12 point guards can't play on the court, but 12 forwards don't.

Although with Pat. Riley has a personal grudge, but Wang Xiao still agrees with what this guy has said before.

He once said: "In the future, the players on the basketball court will be more than 2 meters tall, and they will have the ability to change defenses and hold the ball infinitely, and they will have the speed of switching between offense and defense." ”

Small forwards such as James, Durant, George and Leonard are positioned as all-round forwards.

On the court, they can control the ball to organize the attack, or they can eat the ball to attack, and they can do it both inside and outside, even if they temporarily carry it on the inside.

If Green and Antetokounmpo were selected in the next two years, Wang Xiao would not mind trying Riley's ideal lineup.

……

After the first round of the draft, the second round of the draft will follow.

Wang Xiao, who has already traded his own second-round pick, only has one second-round pick from the Kings left.

He was not polite, and directly used this No. 5 pick to win the last target, the strongest 1.75 meters on the surface in the future - Isaiah. Thomas.

In this way, the five goals that Wang Xiao fancies in the draft have all been in the bag.

No matter what others think, this draft conference in Wang Xiao's opinion is a blood gain.

The team sent Harden and Green, but Thompson, Leonard, Butler, Chandler and Thomas Jr. were returned.

And after taking these five rookies, the Wizards' roster is almost saturated.

The current lineup of the team is as follows.

Point Guard: Stephen. Curry, Patrick. Beverly, Isaiah. Thomas.

Quarterback: Klay. Thompson.

Small forward: Paul. George, Kawai. Leonard, Caron. Butler, Jimmy. Butler, Chandler. Parsons.

Power forward: Antoine. Jamison, Hassan. Whiteside.

Centre-forward: De Andrew. Jordan Jr., Javier. Mcgee.

If nothing else, this lineup will also be the team of the Wizards next season......

Why can't there be no surprises?

Because just a few days after the draft ended, the NBA's all-time events arrived.

At 12:01 on July 1, 11, the old collective bargaining agreement officially expired. After nearly three hours of final negotiations, the players' union and management representatives still have not agreed on a new collective bargaining agreement.

So, NBA commissioner David . Stern reluctantly announced that the NBA had officially entered an indefinite shutdown.

During the shutdown, NBA players were not paid, and NBA teams could not negotiate with any players, nor could they sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason.

Teams are also not allowed to hold any training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaches' rallies.

In addition, NBA team websites can no longer use the image of the player, and the player cannot be used as a representative of publicity.

This shutdown was particularly severe, and many people have even begun to claim that the NBA is over.

For a while, only Wang Xiao, a traverser, knew that the shutdown would last until the end of November, and due to this, the regular season of the 11-12 season would only have 66 games.

However, the collective bargaining agreement is an issue between the team owner and the players, and as a head coach, it has nothing to do with him.

So when the league officially announced the shutdown in early July, strictly prohibiting the team from having any contact with the players, Wang Xiao happily stepped on the plane back to China, ready to spend a long and comfortable vacation.
