Chapter 3, Thunderball, lineup formation.
The pace of the match was fast, and the game was over quickly.
Under the suffocation defense of Li Forest, Rookie Deng's performance was very poor, which made Harden feel that his trial in the Thunder this time was going to be cold.
…………
Team draft discussion meeting.
Meeting personnel: Thunder management, coaching staff, three less.
Halfway through the meeting, Presti asked Westbrook and Durant for their opinions.
The Thunder have two picks this year, one is the No. 3 pick in the first round and the other is the No. 25 pick in the first round.
Dewey and both of them have been training all summer and don't know much about this class of newcomers.
They are not very old, they haven't thought about the team's lineup, they have always felt that this kind of thing is left to the management and coach, and they have no experience.
So in the face of Presti's inquiry, the two couldn't say why.
James Harden, who felt better in the trial game, was completely blown up by Li Forest, so he didn't know what to say.
Presti sighed, the core is still too young, and it seems that he has to rely on himself.
After asking Shuangshao, Presty's eyes looked at Li Forest again, Presty didn't expect much from Li Forest in his heart, and just asked as a routine to show respect.
"Lee, what's your opinion?"
"Ahem, let me tell you about it."
Li Linlin saw that Westbrook and Durant didn't fart, and the scene was slightly embarrassing, so he pretended to cough to attract the attention of the audience.
Li Linlin's cough really worked, and everyone looked at him to see what he said.
Li Linlin didn't pretend to be forced, and said very directly:
"Our No. 3 pick this year can sign James Harden, Steve Curry, No. 25 has three options, Ty Gibson, Demarre Carroll, Danny Green."
Hearing Li Linlin's answer, the management and coaching staff were dazzled.
Li Linlin said that several of the newcomers who ran for the election were almost their multiple-choice answers, and they were considering which one to choose as the final choice for the Thunder.
Presti's draft vision is very vicious.
He sensed from the names of several people that Li Forest had indeed studied the team's draft issues.
In fact, the opinions of the core players of the team in the draft are actually very important, and the players who play on the court will generally feel the team's roster flaws more than the coaching staff and management, and can also better understand the true strength of each player.
When it comes to selection, most teams ask their players for their opinions.
Although Presti felt that Li Forest had research, he felt that it was almost meaningful, and continued: "Lee, we now have you and Russell on the outside, why do we need to add guards? I think the inside tabbit is good. There is also the No. 25 sign, we like Rodrigo Boibouis, who plays in the French league. ”
"Sam, let's talk about it one by one, Russell and I are starters, James Harden and Steve Curry are the engines of the second team, let's talk about James Harden first, he is very strong, his feet are very flexible, he is good at breaking through, his shooting is also very good, the scoring efficiency is very high, if it is equipped with an excellent interior blocking hand, it is enough to ensure the offensive firepower of the second team."
"Lee, you may be mistaken, James Harden's passing vision is average, very sticky, and his defensive attitude is not very good, and the shooting guard is very good for him, but the point guard may not be suitable. In addition, the Steve Curry you mentioned is thin and weak, and he may not be able to adapt to NBA-level confrontations, and he also has injury concerns. And you can replace both of them, so I don't think it's necessary to pick a defender in this position. ”
Brooks shook his head and retorted with a smile.
Sure enough, it still has an impact, and as soon as Li Forest heard Brooks's words, he knew that the team might not choose a guard because of his existence.
This Nima, if the two MVPs are not chosen, he will be stupid.
Li Linlin's cliff does not allow this kind of thing to happen in front of his eyes, what about the overlapping positions, everyone's ball quotient is so high, there is always a way.
Inside? This year, there is no suitable inside line at all, right?
Griffin has been determined by the Clippers, Tabit is a parallel commodity, and he will die when he comes, although Thabit is very likely to be selected by the Grizzlies, but Li Forest is not at ease.
In the NBA, because of the arrival of Li Forest, the butterfly effect has begun to appear, in case the Grizzlies are not chosen, wouldn't the Thunder be killed by Li Forest himself.
So Li Linlin felt that he had to convince the management now.
"Brooks, James Harden has great passing talent, you know that when you play run-and-roll, he has a very thorough understanding of pick-and-roll, he has a very good ability to read the game, which is something that the inside Tabit can't compare, and his left-handed habits make his breakaways difficult to defend, you can go and watch more of his college videos, his future is limitless, look closely at the number of passes and free throws."
Li Linlin said very firmly, resolutely, and decisively.
Lee Forest-based guessed that Brooks definitely didn't watch Harden's game footage, just based on the scouting report.
Therefore, Li Linlin's advantages based on the characteristics of Harden in the future are enough to crush their understanding of Harden.
MVP Denggo is definitely a template for Harden's success, this is Harden's future, so Li Forest knows very well, he wants to portray this future to the Thunder to know, don't miss it, at this time Harden's passing talent in college should have been reflected.
"This."
Brooks was beaten by Li Linlin's affirmative tone, he couldn't say that he hadn't studied so thoroughly, he was crushed by Li Linlin professionally.
After listening to Li Linlin's analysis, Presty looked at Brooks's expression, and he looked forward to Li Linlin's next analysis more and more.
"In addition, let's talk about the other candidate for the No. 3 pick, Steve Curry of Davidson College, this guy is a three-point shooter who is better than me, he is very strong in dribbling, I can't guard him, his ability to break through and change direction is very powerful, the finish is soft, if you match Curry with an outside screener, Curry will make everyone realize the horror of the three-point shot, as for the confrontation, Brooks, you can go and see that kid's bench press stats, I think he will surprise you."
Strong bench press data does not mean strong confrontation ability, but the confrontation ability of people with strong bench press can definitely adapt to NBA-level confrontation.
The key points that Li Linlin said almost covered the main key points of the scouting report, and then it was in a very decisive tone......
"This."
Brooks wiped the sweat from his forehead and took off his glasses, he was hung again, he really didn't know Curry.
Lee's rhetoric is exactly based on the peak of two future MVPs.
There is a chance to choose these two when you come back, and if you don't choose them, you are stupid, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them are so high, Li Linlin wants to let Thunder take it.
What do you want to make a lineup reasonable? Talent is directly crushed.
No matter what lineup we are up against, we have 4 MVPs......
When it's Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Curry, Ibaka on the floor, there's a justification for existence.
What the ball is not enough to score.
Except for Westbrook, everyone else can play without the ball, and it's a big deal to let the Turtle play as a substitute, Lee Forest.
Three-point shots will kill you directly.
…………
Li Linlin's speech completely attracted everyone's attention and made those present interested in his statement.
"Li, that's good, go on, let's talk about it later."
Presti obviously didn't expect Li Linlin to think so fully.
"No. 25 pick Gibson or Carroll, I know you want to pick that Frenchman, don't pick that guy, he can't adapt to the NBA, it's useless. Gibson is a hard-blooded warrior, he's a sporty forward with a lot of arms, he's good at running and finishing, and although he shoots averagely, he's excellent defensively, can juggle both one-and-one defense, and he's got a lot of blocks as a second-team defensive striker............"
……
Li Linlin crackled and said a lot
Li Linlin directly analyzed the advantages of those players to everyone.
This performance made the turtle and Durant stunned, and the gap between people was there.
This Li Linlin is a little dick, neither of them is familiar with these players, this guy actually looks so professional, it's like they've played together.
Li Forest didn't care about Shuangshao's reaction, picked up the water cup and drank saliva to continue talking.
"Sam, can we get a second-round pick and pick Danny Green, who definitely has the potential to be a top-tier 3-and-D player......"
Li Linlin felt that it was better to convince them in one breath.
"Lee, there is a signing, but I think Danny Green ......"
…………
Lee spent 2 hours in the team meeting and argued and convinced everyone.
Presti concluded with a final summary.
"Harden is preferred for the No. 3 pick, Curry is the candidate, Gibson is the first pick for the No. 25 pick, and Carroll is the candidate for the No. 25 pick."
As for Li Linlin's trade to add a second-round pick to Danny Green, they didn't discuss it directly.
Li Forest is also very helpless, his identity is not the boss, and the management really can't convince him.
But the Thunder really didn't dare to come to the rookie again.
Now the Thunder are almost all first, second and third level rookies, although the talent is awesome, but compared with other teams, the gap between experience and other teams is too big, so the management is not ready to add rookies, and wants to bring one or two veterans back.
There will be a bunch of them next year.
"Li, do you have any suggestions for veterans to bring in this piece?"
Presti no longer asked casually, but asked like consulting a professional, obviously respecting Li Linlin's opinion, Li Linlin actually persuaded all of them just now, the degree of professionalism was too high.
Li Linlin felt that the remarks that were very general were very professional in their opinion.
Li Forest enjoyed this treatment, and directly stunned Durant and Westbrook.
They were jealous, but they couldn't help it. Even if they are asked to say it, they can't say it, and that's a matter of knowledge.
Lee's status in the team has quietly improved a little.
"What are the big fish in the free market?"
Li Forest asked, he couldn't remember a little.
"Iverson, Marbury, Oku, Boozer, Ben Gordon, Odom, Artest, Marion, ......"
After Li Linlin heard this, he frowned, for the current thunder, these people are not suitable.
"Don't want any of them, it's too cost-effective, see if you can get Tyson Chandler from the Hornets. He and Serge Ibaka will make all the teams desperate. ”
Although Chandler is not as good as Howard and Yao Ming, he is definitely a championship-level center.
If Serge Ibaka and Chandler form a no-fly zone on the inside, with Durant, Westbrook, and Forest Lee on the outside, this defensive intensity will make all teams desperate......
And then there's the quality of his cover, which is definitely one of the best.
"I can't answer you about this, the wasp won't put it, I'll ask for the price later......"
Plasti frowned, feeling a little difficult.
"Well, okay, by the way, when is Ibaka coming?"
Li Linlin asked, he is very interested in this block king, you must know that last season the Thunder suffered a lot because of the inside, and with the addition of this guy this season, the absolute inside strength will be a level.
"Come on July 1st."
"Okay, today's meeting will be held here first, and we will communicate in time if there is any change."
