Chapter 638: Finals and Draft Auditions (1/5)

"The Celtics' offer is Reeve Lafrenziga's 2006 protected first-round pick in exchange for Anfernee Hardawaya's No. 13 pick."

Qiao Hai held the Celtics' offer and looked up at Kevin Pritchard: "Kevin, what do you think of this deal?" ”

"A viable deal, the Celtics' draft picks could have some value, and Rivra Frenz could also take Tony Kukoc's place, but the No. 13 pick can't come out, and we can only have two second-round picks at most."

Qiao Hai nodded, he agreed with Kevin Pritchard's judgment, the No. 13 pick must be high, although Reevra Frenz still had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks last season, but the 4-year 48 million contract is too big, and it has far exceeded the value of Lafrentz itself.

So, in this deal, Lafrenz is clearly a negative equity.

And the uncertainty of the Celtics' draft picks is also very high, they have Paul Pierce, or the possibility of the playoffs, then, this first-round pick is likely not even a lottery.

So, on the whole, this offer of the Celtics must be a big loss for the Bobcats.

"Danny Angie is a guy who always treats people for fools." Qiao Hai shook his head, he was very disdainful of Anji, he was not Billykin.

"Kevin, you go and reply to the Celtics, two plans." Qiao Hai quickly gave two plans. "Rivra Frenziga's 2006 top-five protected, 2007 unprotected first-round pick for Anfernee Hardawaya's two second-rounders."

"Or Rivra Frenz, the 2006 unprotected first round, the 2008 lotto protected first round, for Anfernee Hardawaya's 17th pick in the first round this year."

Kevin Pritchard nodded, turned around and went back to reply.

……

While Qiao Hai was waiting for the Celtics' reply, the finals were already underway.

The first game was held in Houston, and before the game, almost all the media believed that the Rockets would lift the O'Brien Cup in a maximum of five games.

But in the first game, the Pistons were shocked by the Rockets' cold sweat.

Larry Brown made a very targeted adjustment, he put Big Ben directly in the mid-range position, leaving an empty basket for the Rockets.

As a result, at the beginning, the Rockets still played their regular offense, and then hit the Pistons' iron wall head-on, and were directly prevented from scoring an ultra-low score of 17 points in a single quarter.

Yao Ming and Wade were inaccurate, and then at halftime, the Pistons relied on their defense to take an 11-point lead.

In the second half, the Pistons directly began to suppress the rhythm, and the Rockets rushed directly and rushed around, but the result was still prevented by the Pistons.

The score at the end of the game was 80-90, and the Rockets were upset by the Pistons, directly losing their home-court advantage.

After this game, Stamrefour was questioned, and Bill Simmons believed: "Stan Love's reaction was too slow, and the first time he should have asked Dwayne Wade to strengthen the breakthrough and directly break the Pistons' extended defense, and the course of this game changed." ”

"But obviously, Stamrefour missed the best time to adjust, and then led to this loss of the Rockets."

……

After the first game, in the second game, Stan Loved's obvious lesson was learned, and he increased Wade's possession.

But in this game, Larry Brown didn't use a trick to get old, and the Pistons' defense reverted to their regular style of play, and then further suppressed the rhythm.

At half-time, the two teams played a 47-47 draw.

In the second half, the Rockets completely lost their touch, Yao Ming and Wade missed consecutive outside shots, and the Pistons also contracted the defense in a timely manner.

Then, the Rockets' mid-to-long-range shooting missed 27 consecutive shots, and the Pistons opened up the gap in a wave, and then kept it until the end of the game.

In the second home court of the Rockets, the Pistons were upset again, winning 99-85, and the total score of the finals has become 2:0.

The reversal of the situation directly caught the rocket off guard, and the game was played to this extent, and the situation faced by the rocket was already the ultimate disadvantage.

……

The pre-draft tryouts for the Bobcats had already begun, and Andrew Boggart came over for a tryout, showing extremely good size and excellent confrontation ability.

Kevin Pritchard was full of praise for Andrew Boggart, and at the same time shook his head and sighed, Kevin Pritchard believes that the Eagles' choice should most likely be Boggart, and no one will miss such a seven-foot center who is excellent and not bad at technique.

Qiao Hai shook his head, without explaining too much, the draft thing, really speaking, is actually a bit metaphysical.

Many rookies perform very well during the tryout, but when they really enter the NBA, these players will always have all kinds of problems, some are not suitable for NBA-level confrontation, some are not confident after entering the NBA, and dare not make moves, and some are not able to play time after entering the NBA, and they are cold on the bench......

There are various reasons, as for Bogert, Qiao Hai can only say that Boggart is not a parallel import, at least the data of 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 blocks in his peak season is in line with the value of the champion.

The main reason why Boggart couldn't go further in the end was injury.

……

A day later, Marvin Williams also showed up at Charlotte Coliseum, and after a tryout, Kevin Pritchard's rating was not so high.

"The size is good, the power and bounce are also good, but the speed is a little slow, in terms of technology, the shooting is average, considering that he is still young, there is still some room for growth in the future, and the ability to control the ball is a bit poor.

This time, Qiao Hai agreed very much: "That's right, just because of this guy's ability to control the ball, we shouldn't consider him, he will definitely not be a cornerstone player!" ”

"So, there's a high probability that the eagles won't choose him?" Kevin Pritchard turned his head and looked at Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai shook his head: "No, Billy Knight will most likely choose him, the reason is that Billy Knight likes a striker like Marvin Williams." ”

Kevin Pritchard nodded instead: "Then we have a chance to choose Andrew Boggart." ”

……

After the two individual tryouts, the Bobcats scheduled another group tryout, with Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Andrew Bynum, Danny Granger, Jared Jack and Ersan Ilyasova, a total of six, who appeared in Charlotte at about the same time.

However, none of the six had a confrontation trial, and they all conducted a simple single trial with the ball, that is, one person held the ball and showed some of his skills.

Qiao Hai focused on Paul and Delong, and quickly summed up the differences between the two.
