The Minnesotans drew the top pick, and at the NBA lottery draw on the evening of May 20, they completely lived up to their league-worst record of 16-66. The No. 1 pick finally gave some warmth and light to the bitter cold land of Minnesotapolis, and the world knows how eager they are for the good big men who participated in this year's draft, and they can't wait to pick a dominating interior player who can compare to Garnett, the 'Wolf King' back then. The Timberwolves already have a potential swingman named Andrew. Wiggins, if you pick up another talented big man, how to make people feel happy with a combination of inner and outer talent.

The Lakers, who finished second-to-last in the West this season, followed closely behind with the pick, which is good news for the Los Angeles people, who not only retained their first-round pick, but also surprisingly picked the pick. It seems that the rebuilding of the Purple and Gold can be taken ahead of schedule, and with the management thinking, they will either choose a dominant big man or a defender with full potential.

On the contrary, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been committed to playing bad this season, only got a pick, which basically means that they have to compete with the long-cherished supernova Carl Brown. Anthony. Towns said goodbye, the Timberwolves and Lakers are not going to give the Pennsylvanians this opportunity. It is estimated that at this time, the general manager of the 76ers, Xinki, is broken in his heart, and the deliberate placement of the general manager for years has made his position as general manager not so stable...... Now everyone is looking forward to the Kansas god Joel. Embiid is still twitting and flirting with nurses in his hospital bed, and if the 76ers can't use this pick to pick a bright rookie, they are expected to stumble and stumble in the shadows next season......

Even more tragic than them is undoubtedly the New York Knicks, who did not have much amazing chemistry with Anthony before the trade deadline, but was dragged down by the Knicks' weak defensive system. In the end, the Knicks only won 17-65, which is a good chance of competing for the first pick (19.9% probability of being drawn, second only to the Timberwolves), but unfortunately their luck was also outrageously low, and they couldn't draw any of the top three picks in the end, so they had to be ranked fourth in the first round according to their record. I don't know about Phil, who was the general manager of the Knicks at the time. What would Jackson think about such an outcome? It's impossible for Dolan, the big boss, to be satisfied.

The Miami Heat were traded to the 76ers with the 22nd pick in the first round according to their record, and now the Heat management has no idea about this year's draft pick, and they are keeping an eye on each team's selection of rookies in order to prepare a number of suitable trade packages. Of course, the uniform team also invited Lang Dai. Hollis. Jefferson, Josh. Richardson waited for their favorite newcomers to come to Miami for a tryout, while also in preliminary discussions with their agents to explore the trading availability of these newcomers.

In the eyes of these agents, the Heat's eyesight of these rookies are all willing to play for Miami, not only because the South Coast team's enduring high attention in recent years can help them better show their face to the outside world, but also because of the existence of Addison, a point guard who has made a name for himself this season, there is basically no player who is unwilling to play with Addison. You must know that among these swing guards, even Justis. Winslow also has the ability to play on offense in the NCAA, and his shooting is inconsistent, so a point guard like Addison, who can get the ball out of the air when they have an open run, is the teammate they want to partner with.

"It's a good thing, because the last thing a team in the league can afford to lose is their attractiveness to their players. A team can go years without winning a championship and even endure years of not making the playoffs, but as long as the attraction remains, there is still the possibility of returning to the ranks of the strong teams. "Pat. Riley said to his students with a bit of indifference and pride, "Actually, the attraction of Dwyane and Bosh has dropped a lot now, and there are really only two things that we can attract these quality players now - the record and Addison." ”

Spoelstra naturally glanced at his teacher, still keeping his face to Pat. Riley's humble smile that never changed, smiling without saying a word. The 'God Operator' clasped his arms around his chest and suddenly sighed softly: "So I'm still very envious of those teams that stay in New York and Los Angeles...... Even if their record hits rock bottom, even if they lose their star in the house, they can still attract a group of excellent players to defect, who will let it be New York and Los Angeles? ”

"Then why did you leave New York and come to Miami in the first place?" Spoelstra asked, Riley took Patrick as a young man. Especially because the core of the Knicks is in full swing to Jeff. Van Gundy, who went to the Heat to host the overall situation, has always been puzzled by his behavior.

"Hmm...... Do you want to hear a more straightforward answer? The sharp-eyed old man shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said in a mocking tone, "Because at that time, I really wanted to be a 'savior', and that would give me an incomparable sense of accomplishment." I've been successful many times, and I haven't experienced the thrill of being a savior yet. ”

While the national uniform groups focused on the rookies of the Class of 2015, the attention of the media and fans lingered on the East-West Finals. Basketball fans in the U.S. are happy to be able to dive into the NCAA's March Madness in March, after which the NBA playoffs begin.

Addison started out watching both the East and West series, but he stopped being distracted by the matchup between the two teams after watching the second game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks. The young Chinese has never been arrogant and contemptuous, but he is now betting that the Hawks will be eliminated by the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games, and that they are still a team without Kevin. Love and Carey. Irving's Cleveland Cavaliers.

"Everything that the Hawks had in the regular season was so strong and sharp that it was gone in this series...... Their teamwork now looks more like a sports comedy, and I only saw a few people standing 18 feet out of the basket passing the ball around, but they didn't create a threat......" Addison, who shook his head at home, said to Joe, "Believe it or not, Dad, if we had met the Hawks before, I would have been confident that we would have led the team to eliminate this group of Atlantans in six games." ”

Qiao glanced at Addison for a long time, his adopted son rarely said such sharp words outside the court, and it was obvious that his mind had gone beyond the sofa at home to the arena in the live broadcast camera. Joe admired Addison's almost paranoid focus, and in his mind, a person should make his first hobby a hobby and his second hobby a career. So although Joe loves golf immensely, he did not choose to become a professional golfer, but became a financial lawyer; But Addison was different, he chose to make his passion, basketball, his passion, a career, not a livelihood but a dreamer. The Dream Chaser's road has been exciting, but it has also been bumpy, and fortunately Addison has done well so far.

The schedule developed as Addison predicted, after losing two home games 89-97 and 82-94, the Cleveland Hawks were powerlessly defeated by LeBron at the Quick-Loan Center. The Cavaliers led by James rubbed on the ground twice, and the overall score was 0:4 to bid farewell to the playoff stage...... It was as if they had just come to the Eastern Conference Finals for a trip, and after seeing the scene, they lost all their persistence and fighting spirit.

Although there is not much difference in the overall score on the Western Conference Finals - the Houston Rockets seem to have regained the form of the last round of the series in the G4 game back at home, snatching a victory with 128-115 - but the total score of 1:4 does not mean that the matchup between these two teams is not exciting enough, on the contrary, this round of the Western Conference Finals shows excellent spectacle and competitive standards, clearly showing the 'Yiyantang' model with the core of the house as the axis and the lineup system as the axis on the court. The advantages and characteristics of the 'Duoyantang' model. James. Harden averaged 28.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in the whole series, and was in a hot state while firmly suppressing Klay Thompson, but the Warriors still relied on a more complete and sharp tactical system, a more tacit teamwork and Stephen Thompson. Curry's strong offensive firepower firmly grasps the overall situation of the court, and he can always take advantage of the critical moment.

"If Mark. Jackson left the Warriors with a young roster that already had a tacit understanding. Kerr's arrival is to determine the most suitable tactical system for the Warriors to burst the lethality of this roster, and integrate the rules of operation that can change with the situation. A large part of what makes the Warriors look so invincible is that their opponents are playing against an elite roster that has been studied and matched for years and a system that has been conceived and honed by the league's top tacticians for nearly a decade, which is a serious challenge for anyone. "Bill. Wharton said during the live commentary on the Western Conference Finals, and his explanation was endorsed by many people across the United States. Everybody knows Mark. Jackson is interested in this team since Don. How much did the Warriors, who fell apart after Nelson's departure, go from nearing the bottom of the league to reaching the playoffs with 50 wins, and Coach Jackson has tuned a lethal and contemporary roster for the Warriors; And Steve. Kerr has been thinking about his small-ball strategy since he was a TNT broadcaster, and his philosophy has been almost seamless with the roster since joining the Warriors...... It can be said that Curry, Thompson, Drummond. The strength of Green's players and Kerr's tactical philosophy complement each other and make them a unique and formidable team in the league.

And now, this unique Golden State Warriors team is about to meet the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Finals with a completely different founding philosophy, and this matchup is not only a contest of strength between the two sides, but also a confrontation between different philosophies and even different directions of modern basketball.

Addison booked his tickets for the Finals at Oracle Stadium in Oakland early on, and he was too interested in the battle between the two teams, and perhaps he could learn more from this series on how to survive in this league.
