Chapter 694 [It's going to be developed, test patience]

Chandler Parsons, who was also watching live from home, was not selected after the 10th pick in the second round, and he began to feel lost.

He doesn't know exactly where his next stop is, and the rookies who fall to this position usually don't have any guarantees to speak of, and most of them are NBA passers-by.

Suddenly, Parsons heard his name.

The whole family was dumbfounded, and Parsons didn't realize who had chosen him at first. He hugged everyone around him one by one, and then asked his brother, "Where am I going now?" ”

"Clippers, you're going to Los Angeles! If Jerry Young chooses by name, you're going to be developed! My brother yelled.

Parsons was stunned for a moment, then jumped up excitedly. "Hahaha, it's actually the Clippers, I'm going to win the championship!"

Ask the rookie where the team he wants to go to the most, and many people will say that it is Jerry Young's team, especially the second-round rookie, which means a change in life, which is a magical road to heaven on earth.

Parsons almost missed the Clippers, Yang Rui didn't expect to select him at all, the Rockets selected him from the 38th place in the previous life, and fell to the 42nd place in this life.

The goal of the Clippers is to pick a swinging forward at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions and use Dunleavy as a spare tire. It would be best if Dunleavy was willing to take a pay cut to renew his contract, and if he was not willing to take a salary cut, it would be good to develop a rookie.

Latvian small forward Davis Bertans, who is predicted to be selected at the end of the first round, is 208CM tall, weighs 95kg and is 19 years old, with Austin Dayer and Kyle Korver as templates.

He's a very good tall shooter, with a textbook jump shot that is high and fast, and just as sharp when he catches the ball after covering. Unlike Novak, he has the ability to create chances and attack with the ball, has a good view of the pitch and a good passing ability.

The disadvantages are that he is not fast, he needs to gain weight, and rebounding and defense are his weaknesses.

It is worth mentioning that Bertans lost the upper half of his right ring finger at the age of 13, but fortunately this did not affect his shooting touch.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Bertans did not sign with the Spurs until 2016, and he had a 40% three-point shooting rate in his rookie season.

Now there is a better candidate, and Yang Rui will not propose to the management to buy out the contract of Belstein Europe and sign it. A change of thought affects a player's career.

Chinese fans will not be unfamiliar with Chandler Parson, who is 208CM tall, weighs 100 kg, and is not very good in physical fitness, and the draft template is Luke Wharton, who is evaluated as an all-rounder with a high basketball IQ.

That's exactly why he didn't care, and Walton played in the NBA for many years and was always on the fringe, off the bench. As a scorer, he is not very aggressive, lacks excellent athleticism and explosiveness, and has poor strength.

Parsons didn't do as well as Wharton, shooting terrible free throws, shooting a measly 55.7 percent from the free-throw line in his senior year. The defensive ability is also relatively average, there is no speed in the No. 3 position, and there is no strength in the No. 4 position.

Parsons' success is due to his teamwork, and his ball IQ is high, which is not easy to notice and discover in the draft.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Parsons was a wonderful team player, a good playmaker. He doesn't have to control the ball all the time, he plays the ball quickly and is resolute when he breaks through, catches and shoots.

Finally, I would like to add that he is very handsome and can add to the team's appearance.

The draft continued, and Yang Rui wanted to use the team's 60 draft picks to pick up Isaiah Thomas, but he didn't expect to be preempted by the Kings.

The Kings traded for a No. 57 pick and drafted Thomas. They had asked Thomas Jr. for a trial and were optimistic about his breakthrough ability, so Thomas Jr. signed a three-year contract after joining and was reused. However, the Kings already have Irving this life, and it is questionable how much playing time Thomas will get.

Yang Rui is not depressed, Thomas Jr. can only be a marginal person when he joins the Clippers, and he is likely to be abandoned. In his previous life, he averaged 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game in the 2016-17 season, which was a tactical benefit, and no team wanted to have a 175CM man as the core, and the Green Army sent him away that summer.

Olhi ended up picking a random interior player named Art Mayok with the 60th pick and traded it to the Pistons.

The draft is over, and the day has come to test everyone's patience.

On June 30, team directors received a list of who they could not communicate with during the shutdown. These include agents, players' families, players, etc.

The two sides negotiated for three hours, and there were too many differences. On July 1, the NBA officially shut down.

NBA commissioner David Stern said, "Thank you to the fans who enjoyed the NBA games, the past year has been a great one. However, for the owners of the team, even such a great season is still unprofitable. The teams in the smaller cities simply didn't enjoy that kind of fun. Our goal is to make the league more cost-effective and make all 30 teams in the league competitive. ”

NBA Vice President Adam Silva said: "The collective bargaining agreement that has just expired is not a win-win system, and that agreement has caused our team to suffer huge financial losses. We need a sustainable business model that gives all 30 teams the opportunity to compete for the championship, pay their players a fair amount and earn a decent financial return. ”

Yang Rui accompanied Scarlett to dub, and was interviewed by reporters in his free time, and the media asked about the topic of suspension.

Yang Rui said: "I don't know how this happened, I'm just a basketball coach who likes basketball, wants to play a wonderful game, and makes the fans cool at the same time." I don't use my brain outside of the game. If it's shut down, I'll have more time to spend with my family, and that's not a bad thing for me. ”

The reporter asked: "The league does not allow you to meet with players on holidays, does that affect you in any way?" ”

"Wouldn't it? A lot of people say they're waiting to see my kids......"

Yang Rui is a minority shareholder of the Clippers and belongs to the management, which is not allowed to contact players.

The league strictly rules that team officials cannot text, call, or email players, and cannot interact with players through Facebook, Minions, or Meager. The league even checks phone logs to make sure that no employee has been in contact with the players, not even their wives and girlfriends.

Any form of contact with a player is punishable by a $1,000,000 fine.

The coach and the player met by chance in a restaurant, and the later one found out that the former was in the restaurant and had to leave immediately or risk being fined.

In addition, if there are children on the coaching staff of NBA teams who play in the AUU league or college, these coaches can only watch their own children's games, not other players' games, let alone train with their children. Celtics head coach Doc

These rules will cause a lot of trouble, and Paul is planning to hold his own wedding in September this year, and he invited Yang Rui to attend, and if the NBA is still in a shutdown by then, Yang Rui will have to get approval from the league if he wants to attend Paul's wedding.

Not to mention that the NBA's regulations are peculiar, there is indeed a possibility of "collusion". When both parties are not giving an inch for the interests of labor and management, if one party reveals its hole cards, it will obviously cause a huge loss of interests.

The players can meet each other, and many of them have made an appointment to play street ball leagues together, so that they can also pull people into their own team while ensuring their condition.
