Chapter 0794 - A Successful Draft Meeting, An Earthquake Is Coming! (The third update of cultivating immortals)

The Knicks' draft work is too secretive, you know, except for Javier and Lin Yi, when it is the Knicks' turn to make a choice, even the Knicks' general manager Donny Worth doesn't know who the Knicks will pick.

There is no way, the rookies that the Knicks fancy are all the sweets in the market......

Jokic, who watched the live broadcast from his home in Serbia, was thrilled.

The "Serbian Lin Yi" regards Lin Yi as his idol, because he has always played as a small forward in the youth team, so he has good ball handling skills and passing skills.

This kid has excellent vision, and passing the ball with one hand behind his head can often show off people's scalp tingling.

At the same time, Jokic can play inside and outside, he has good back skills on the inside, his three-point shooting is very accurate on the outside, and he shoots faster than the average big man.

The main reason why Jokic, who was only 19 years old, fell to the second round in '14 was because people didn't know about him and there were too many high-quality rookies in '14.

After all, there are a bunch of bouncing monsters, who can still look at the technological stream?

It is not a day or two for international players to suffer prejudice in the NBA, originally before Jokic entered the NBA, the Nuggets were more optimistic about Nurkic and Faried, but after Jokic gradually showed his talent, the Nuggets decisively corrected the "inside magician".

Jokic's role on the court is not fully reflected, he is more brutal on defense than many vicious-looking black and hard, and despite his lack of blocks, his rim protection ability is better than many hat-brushing players, because Jokic rarely loses position in defense.

When attacking, Jokic, as the bridgehead of the Nuggets, can bring the Nuggets, a bunch of track and field men, to look like and play one set of balls.

And Jokic's growth curve can only be described as an exaggeration.

In Lin Yi's previous life, when this kid entered the NBA in the 1516 season, his statistics were only 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.

But after adapting to a season, Jokic's stats skyrocketed to 16.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.

Before Lin Yi was reborn, he had multiple triple-doubles in the 1718 season, averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.

In addition, he also made 100 three-pointers in a single season in the 1718 season.

On the premise of using money to open the way, the Knicks have convinced Jokic's parent team that the "inside magician" can enter the NBA next season.

Lin Yi planned to take Jokic for special training in the summer, and when he saw the video of Jokic's game sent back by Xiao Zhong, Lin Yi found that Jokic, the kid, was afraid that his height stopped at 208 cm because he practiced strength too early, right?

e, Jokic's registered height is 213 cm, but the actual height is ......

Ahem!

It's no wonder that Mr. Yoo can become the inner core of the Nuggets at the age of 21, his lower body strength is outstanding, and a pair of big elbows make Lin Yi and thirsty.

Lin Yi believes that as long as Jokic is given one season, he can completely adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game.

Therefore, the first-round cut is really hilarious, because the Knicks don't have to worry about other teams poaching Jokic in the future.

After being drafted by the Knicks, Jokic hugged his family one by one, and the Serbian boy also deliberately tore down a poster of Lin Yi that he had been sticking to the corner.

In Jokic's view, it was Lin Yi who opened the door to how to play correctly for centers in the new era, and he wanted to bring this poster to New York.

Jokic's old mother and father warned their son to guard against arrogance and rashness, and to communicate more with people when he went to the United States.

The family environment in Eastern Europe cannot be compared with that of Western Europe, Jokic, who has endured hardships since childhood, is very filial, and his two older brothers are professional basketball players, and those scouts who label Jokic as weak, only able to respond, and average offense are destined to regret it.

After the Knicks chose Jokic, commentators on major TV stations were questioning the Knicks' choice, and even the hardcore Barkley was not optimistic that Jokic would play in the Knicks.

After all, there are just too many players like Jokic in Europe.

Fliggy said bluntly, "If Nikola can score 20 points in a single game next season, then I'll live stream Shaq's ass." ”

O'Neill on the side was embarrassed, and the shark thought to himself, if labor and management don't give you a kiss at that time, you have the ability to kiss the butt of a real shark.

Lin Yi watched the live broadcast, and when he saw Barkley with a bad mouth again, Lin Yi also specially reminded the Knicks uniform team to remember to keep the evidence.

Buckley, you've got the shark's ass this time!

After selecting Jokic, Lin Yi also made a special call to Jokic, which was very similar to when he called Gobert last year, Jokic was a little panicked, after all, the person who called him now is a four-time regular season P and a three-time Finals P.

Jokic in 95 has really never seen Jordan play, so in Jokic's view, Lin Yi is Michael Jordan in this era.

"Nikola, keep your style, the Knicks chose you because they liked your current style of play, you don't need to make any changes for the team, we just want you to be yourself." Lin's encouragement gave Jokic a lot of confidence.

Because after being looked down upon on draft sites, Jokic once doubted himself.

Lin Yi still underestimated his words...... In the future, when Jokic became famous, Lin Yi's encouragement to him was often talked about by Jokic.

"For me who was still a newcomer at the time, being able to get Lin's approval made me full of motivation."

……

After selecting Jokic in the first round, the Knicks selected Dinwiddie with the eighth pick in the second round.

Originally, the Knicks could have chosen Clarkson in this pick.

But Dinwiddie, who is tall and has a wider defensive area, is simply the ideal successor to Livingston in Lin Yi's opinion.

The Knicks' offense next season will be mainly centered around the interior, and with the interior always standing up, Clarkson will have little room to break through.

Dinwiddie's style of play is simple and practical, and the current Knicks really don't need a striker, after all, Lin Yi, who has healing skills, will not be injured.

Clarkson went to the Lakers as Lin Yi remembers, while Capela and Hood, who were tried by the Knicks before, were selected by the Timberwolves and Nuggets respectively.

The Rockets are rumored to be in talks with the Timberwolves, and Morey wants to rob the Wolves with two second-round picks.

Lin Yi doesn't know if the shrewd Morey can succeed in the robbery, anyway, this year's Knicks' draft has been quite successful.

With Nash retiring and Dream destined to leave, the Knicks added Jokic and Dinwiddie.

Next, it's time to renew the contract, and let go of the one who should let go.

Lin Yi has set his sights on the upcoming free agent market.

The land of dreams, the Knicks, welcome all veterans to join!

And just when Lin Yi was planning for the future, the NBA, an earthquake, was coming!
