Chapter 63: Foolproof
Chapter 63: Foolproof
Jiang Chao was not completely silent during this period, and in order to protect Harden, he drew Tai Chi.
After all, Harden is not as stable as Curry, and in order to be completely stable, he has tried out Spanish golden boy Rubio and James Evans Jr., Jennings and others separately in a row.
Timberwolves management was scared, okay?
The management of the lotto team who heard some of him and the thunder wind were all in the news, and they didn't know what kind of medicine Jiang Chao was selling in this gourd.
Sean Marks also tried out a number of second-round picks, and everyone thought that the Knicks' second-round pick would be selected.
But in fact, only Jiang Chao knew in his heart that the person he wanted to choose was not among the people who tried out alone.
This Taiji diagram will be a success from the very beginning.
But it also has to be drawn.
Mainly for Harden, but also worried about some second-round picks being snatched by which team's brain short-circuited first.
But it should be okay, Jiang Chao looks at everyone's attitude, and basically doesn't pay attention to the second round.
This is similar to the evaluation of later generations.
In the Hereafter.
The rookie of 2009 was an underrated class, when many predicted that the rest of the players except Griffin would not make it, but most of the players did well.
Harden and Curry, two of the best players in the class, were both regular season MVP winners.
This also makes the Class of 2009 the first draft after the Class of 1984, Class of 1996 and Class of 2008 to have two regular season MVPs at the same time.
Sean Marks kept looking for inside information, and finally gave Jiang Chao a reply that the Clippers and Grizzlies would not pick Harden 99.9%.
Insiders have given him a reason.
Harden is 1.96 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.10 meters, weighs 100 kilograms, was a shooting guard at the time of the draft, and exploded in college statistics.
His height, reach, and weight are among the best among backcourt players, and his rich offensive means make him the template for the draft to be Kobe Bryant.
The Clippers had the best chance of getting Harden, and they had the No. 1 pick and could pick whoever they wanted, but they didn't pick Harden.
There are two reasons for this: First, the Clippers already have two excellent backcourt players, Byron Davis and Gordon.
The second is Griffin's talent visible to the naked eye, Griffin has great physical fitness and is an interior player with shooting ability.
As a sophomore, he averaged a double-double of 22.7 points and 14.4 rebounds per game, and shot 37 percent from three-point range.
"Give Riffena definitely power, if I can have a champion sign, I will also choose him."
Jiang Chao said with a smile, it's a pity that the Clippers want to sell tickets and fight with the Lakers, and there is no possibility of selling this top-talented flying white monster.
Grizzlies are even more plausible.
They already have two young potential backcourt players, Conley was the No. 4 pick in 2007 and Mayo was the 2008 scout pick, and they are both outside players that the Grizzlies focus on developing.
In this case, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to choose an outside player like Harden, and when the time comes, three talented backcourt players will compete for playing time, and it is very likely that no one will be able to play, and the gains outweigh the losses.
There's a good chance the Grizzlies will pick the interior, and the template is Mutombo's heavy center Thabit.
Inside Hashem Thabit is 2.21m tall, has an arm span of 2.29m, a standing touch height of 2.90m, and weighs 119kg.
Although he has a single scoring method, he showed good rebounding ability and excellent blocking ability in college.
In his junior year, he averaged 13.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.22 blocks per game, 4.17 blocks per game in his three years of college, and his highest year was 4.45 blocks per game.
Burst.
Jiang Chao almost laughed, did he want to witness the grizzly bear choose one of the most watery names in history.
"This should be okay, he can become an inside gate like Yao Ming, and there is also a Hibbert in the east who has a similar role to him, so he should be able to plug and play." Obviously, no one will know how much crotch this list is now.
"The Grizzlies are still looking forward to raising Gasol's younger brother."
Jiang Chao didn't say that if the talent can be realized, then the meaning of the draft conference is gone.
"Haha, but boss, you're in the third pick, so you can choose Rubio if you want."
Marks came up with ESPN's draft projections.
The prediction is that the Thunder will take Rubio third, a traditional point guard, and it is indeed a good choice to help the second less control the court, and the performance of the golden boy in the Olympic Games last year and the United States national team was too eye-catching.
And Harden predicted that he would be selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth pick, which has nothing to do with Jiang Chao.
"Okay, give Curry a call."
After identifying Harden, Sean Marks made another call to Curry to make sure nothing went wrong.
Curry greeted Max politely like a student.
Then he said that his tryout was poor, and Lacob (the Warriors owner) was angry.
Jiang Chao asked Don Nelson if he had contacted him privately or something.
"Wood has! The Warriors didn't even have our hotel money. ”
In fact, Lakeb directly criticized the crazy inventor Nelson Sr., who he was not used to seeing for a long time, and said that you sign a wool for such a player, old and confused?
And what do you want in the future, Klay Thompson, can these physiques play in the NBA? Muscles in the shoulders???
But apparently Don Nelson wouldn't listen, and called Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao didn't talk nonsense with this old fox, and said lightly:
"I'm going to pick Jordan Hill on the 8th, you guys are free."
This made the Warriors general manager Wright and them tangled, to be honest, they chose Jordan Hill is the most suitable, with the current guard group, you can play fast and change defenses.
"Do you want to rob them?"
"Maybe this is Jiang Chao's trick?"
"What level does he have? Doesn't he want to threaten us not to choose, I want to choose! ”
Then Jiang Chao also said:
"I suggest you sign Curry."
This is no longer Tai Chi, it is almost the Book of Changes, and the warriors were played by Jiang Chao's words, but Jiang Chao listened to the meaning of their tone and Curry's expression, and he should have given up Curry.
In order to take Curry safely, Sean Marks is also very smart and signals that Curry can come to New York now.
showed the appearance of licking a dog and wanted the Knicks to sign, and the Knicks ignored it no matter how much they liked to answer, so that the outside world thought that Curry was not really strong.
Jiang Chao finally took a sentence:
"I'm out of the hotel money in Golden State, see you in the little green house."
"Okay boss! I've been working on strength in the gym. ”
"Well, I'll practice with you in New York."
"Boss, how much do you value him?" Sean Marks was stunned.
Jiang Chao turned the Rolex in his hand:
"In a sense, he's more important than Harden, the No. 3 pick."
