Chapter 13 Wish-fulfilled
"The New Orleans Hornets were drafted with the first pick... Anthony from the University of Kentucky. Davis! β
History has not been deflected in the case of the current NBA commissioner David Brown. With Stern's announcement, Bushy Eyebrows became the top pick in the 12-year draft, a new generation of the most powerful forward is about to be released, and the Hornets are about to change their name to the New Orleans Pelicans early next year in order to break new ground, although it proved to be useless.
Chen An, who was sitting in the small room, watched the live broadcast of the draft on the TV screen, although his face looked calm and light, and he looked like he was pretending to be X with a wisdom bead in his hand, but his heart was still up and down.
The arrangement of the draft meeting is actually somewhat interesting, the scene of the conference is reserved for the rookie players who come to participate in the draft and their family and friends, and the personnel of the 30 teams who perform the draft are in their own small rooms, and the draft goals can be given in advance according to the order.
After a series of processes such as Brother Thick Mei coming to the stage to give a speech and taking a photo with the president, finally, the results of the draft of the second pick began to be announced.
"The Charlotte Bobcats drafted Michael Gilchrist, also from the University of Kentucky, with the second pick!"
The list eye was born, continuing the trajectory of the original history, Boss Qiao's vision is still surprisingly rotten, holding the list eye sign, and there are so many young handsome people who don't pick, and as a result, the alumni of Brother Thick Eyebrows were selected, well, it is very powerful, and the lynx will continue to be at the bottom this year.
So far, this draft is still the same as the previous life, Chen An is a little relieved, as long as the next wizards don't mess around, Chen An will be completely stable.
In fact, the last thing Chen An is worried about is the Pelicans and the Wizards, because the Wizards' goal is very clear, they already have the wall brother, that is, Wall, a very good point guard, so they have to choose a rookie point guard with great potential and the wall brother to form a backcourt double gun, Bradley. Beal is their obvious choice, and Lillard's role as a point guard is not in their consideration.
said so, but not afraid of 10,000 in case, Chen An still worried about his heart, seeing David. Stern stood in front of the podium again, and Chen An couldn't help but lean forward, his lips moving slightly, muttering something that several people next to him couldn't understand.
"Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva, no Amitabha Buddha in the south, let the wizard quickly choose Bill!"
At the same time that Chen An turned to metaphysics, David. Stern spoke: "The Washington Wizards' third pick is Bradley from the University of Florida. Bill! β
βyes!yes!yes!β
Right here in David. The moment Stern's words settled, Chen An jumped up happily directly, as if he had won the lottery jackpot, and several people next to him looked at him as if they were looking at a neuropathy. Hennegan said angrily: "I don't understand, why does that Lillard make you so optimistic?" If he is really talented, why can't he be in the first three rounds? And I've heard that the Knights originally wanted to choose Dion. West's. β
'Because they're all stupid. XοΌ β
Of course, this can't be said, and Chen An also knows that the thick eyebrows selected by the Pelicans and Bill selected by the Wizards are both reasonable and profitable, only Boss Qiao looked away and chose a quasi-parallel list. Truth be told, the future ceiling of the thick eyebrows is likely to be above Lillard, while Beal is not inferior to Lillard, and their respective choices are based on the needs of the team.
Just like Chen An, since he decided to create a small-ball style first, after having Harden and Lillard, he is equivalent to having two engines, and both of them have excellent offensive power, the team's dual cores have been formed, and the team is built around the two.
Budenholzer shook his head with his forehead on his hand, he also didn't think Lillard had anything outstanding, which was enough to make Chen An so excited, but Kerr was more sensible, and said: "If Lillard can meet your expectations, the two engines in the backcourt can mobilize the whole team uninterruptedly, plus an Evan Turner who also has the ability to respond and conduct, not to mention the team's record, at least the team's offense in the new season should be very smooth, and the style of play will be gorgeous." β
"Hehe, you have to think about ticket sales first, don't you?"
Chen An made a joke in a good mood, but Budenholzer said with a serious face: "But your inner line is not ideal." β
Chen An knows what Budenholzer means, after Howard's departure, the team's current interior line is simply weak and miserable. Aldridge doesn't talk about it, this white bear will only rotate players in 10 minutes if he dies, and he will have to go downhill if he can't play for a few years, which is not embarrassing at all.
As for Vucevic who got from the 76ers, it can be regarded as a potential stock, at least in the original history, this guy once hit 19+10 data, but this guy is a heavy center, slow moving, and his jumping ability is not good, and he can defend at the top end of the defensive end, but the co-defense is too poor, and it is completely a traditional interior line against the trend, not to mention that he hasn't played it yet, last season's data was only around 5+5, and Chen An is still thinking about how to use him.
Except for these two people, the only remaining interior line for the Magic team is Big Baby Glenn and Davis, but this guy doesn't say anything.
And why did the Suns have a gorgeous style of play back then? That's because the 'hacker' Marion and the 'little bully' Stoudemire on the inside are both first-class in running and jumping, good at eating cakes, plus a circle of shooters on the outside opens up space, how can it not look good under Nash's control?
In short, what Budenholzer means is that the Magic team has no cake now, and no matter how strong the two outside engines are, they can't support the team's offense.
This is indeed the crux of the matter, but didn't the Warriors have nothing to eat except for one Azeri in the first place? So he put the interior problem last, and after finalizing the backcourt combination, he followed up with the issues of forward, wing and defense, and this depended on his two second-round picks.
The draft continued, and the Magic, who held the No. 4 pick, naturally selected Lillard as he wished, but the interesting thing is that when the camera showed Lillard in the audience, this guy looked confused, because he had not received the Magic team's tryout request at all, and there was no rumor that the Magic wanted to choose him, but the Trailblazers expressed a strong intention towards him, so this guy was a little confused and didn't understand what was going on at all.
It is estimated that the management of the Trail Blazers is also dumbfounded now, and the other teams are not much better, because they didn't expect the Magic to bet on James. It seems paradoxical that Harden will continue to choose a guard in the future, and I wonder what the media will say about it in the future.
Chen An is mentally prepared anyway, he firmly believes that as long as he survives until the start of the new season, he will use the facts to shut up all doubters, hum, wait and see, Harden + Lillard's backcourt double guns will definitely make everyone's eyes pop!
