Chapter 426: Sudden Transaction! Brother Chao told you to roll on Christmas and never left you until New Year's Day
Klay Thompson ???
"I'll go...... I've never mentioned this before."
Jiang Chao was stunned when he mentioned this name, you must know that Jiang Chao never mentioned this name on the phone during the draft, if you wanted it at the time, wouldn't it be right to trade upwards directly at that time? ?
Or do you think this Klay Thompson is playing now????
But they can't ask anything more, Sean Marks nodded, he just did what the boss said, can Jiang Chao's choice be wrong? Asking too much is disrespectful to the boss.
"Boss, then wait for us with good news for Christmas."
"Well, thank you." Jiang Chao took a deep breath, got up and asked the bodyguard to prepare the car to go to the airport, "Please Answer 1988" is about to be filmed in Kimchi, Park Chulong, who plays the role of her sister, is about to leave, Jiang Chao wants to send her, and by the way, tell her about the points of attention in this drama.
.........
After Jiang Chao left, the three members of the team actually did not go back to their respective homes, but were puzzled in the cafeteria......
Sean Marks took a bottle of orange juice for the young marshal, sat down and said:
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the boss to say this name."
Later, D'Antoni took a plate of Chinese-style peanuts over, and also frowned:
"Me too, Klay Thompson...... It stands to reason that it's better to have a point guard."
The most vocal here is Shaun Marks, who is familiar with the major lotteries every year, the Warriors and the Knicks have not met this season, so the two coaches don't know much about this Warriors' lottery show this year, but Jiang Chao mentioned such a person alone, how can he have a little chat with Shaun Marques.
Now compared to Jiang Chao's decision to trade Thomas Jr., they are more concerned about what kind of players they want to exchange!
After all, there is no player that Jiang Chao wants to change to unsuccessful!
Not to mention the ones that want to kick away!
Sean Marks said some of his thoughts as the two looked at each other expectantly:
"The boss's thinking always strikes me as exaggerated!"
His subconscious feeling is that he can't change it, and second, he feels that it's unnecessary.
One is that the Warriors have completely rebuilt after replacing Nelson Sr., and Thompson, who was the 11th pick in the first round this year, became the Warriors directly after being drafted @
In the eyes of Boss Jiang Chao, it is stronger than Danny Green?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
In order to convince them, Shaun Marks directly showed the scouting report made by the Knicks during the draft.
Klay Thompson: Huashengdun State University.
He averaged 12.5 points in his freshman year and averaged 19.6 points per game in his sophomore season, ranking second in the Pacific 10 and becoming the third-fastest player in varsity history to score 1,000 points.
He averaged 21.6 points per game as a junior and became the leading scorer in the Pacific 10 Division, scoring a team record of 733 points in the season, ranking third on the team's all-time scoring list, and was once again selected as the All-NBA First Team in the Pacific, and in the 2011 Pacific 10 Championship, Thompson hit 8 three-pointers and scored 43 points to set a tournament record.
"He was the 11th pick, and a big factor was the eight three-pointers this time."
Barefoot height: 197 cm
Weight: 93 kg
Reach: 2.06 meters
Bounce in place: 67 cm
Jump on the spot: 330 cm
Run-up jump: 87 cm
Running height: 3.43m
Maximum bench press for 84 kg: 5 reps
"It's really not too good, but it seems to be okay when it comes together." The mustache is well-informed, and he reads the data column with a blank face, and directly looks at the analysis column below.
Perfect points for shooting, excellent defense, and one fail!
Template: Danny Green.
Strengths: Running off the ball, strong shooting ability, excellent height and reach. Consistent outside shooting and excellent off-ball ability, combined with excellent defensive forward ability.
The back is obviously an analysis report made by Downey Jr.
Thompson's biggest strength is his shooting ability, he is an excellent shooter and has a wealth of outside offensive ability, his mid-range shooting is as consistent as three-point shooting, his shooting percentage is very high, and his shooting posture is also a textbook standard, which has helped him to maintain consistency in his shooting.
This is an unexpectedly young man who does not occupy the ball, and he is quite active in running without the ball, and he can directly catch the ball to complete the shot after running, and the action is simple and there is no superfluous action.
The use of pick-and-roll is very good, and he often uses it to create his own shooting space, which is a bit like our Knicks' Curry.
Klay also has a good offensive ability with the ball, can score with the ball in an unfavorable situation, and should have the potential to become the league's top scorer.
And then there are the disadvantages:
1. The biggest disadvantage is athletic talent, jumping is not high, running is not fast, moving slowly on the field, and players who face speed often suffer losses. Therefore, in terms of fast breaks, the performance is average, on the contrary, positional battles will perform quite well.
2. Poor physical confrontation ability, encountering defenders with excellent athleticism and physical superiority will often perform poorly, and the finishing ability under the basket needs to be improved.
3. Lack of organizational skills, he is often the organized side on the court, his dribbling ability is average, and when someone needs to organize an attack on the court, he often performs poorly, but his tactical execution ability is very positive.
……
The biggest drawback mentioned in it is the unqualified one mentioned above, and the ability to control the ball is not up to par.
Thompson's individual scoring ability is strong, but he has a very obvious ability flaw, that is, he is not good at handling the ball, and he often loses the ball when dribbling in games. So Thompson knows his flaws and rarely takes possession of the ball.
But these three people don't know, only Jiang Chao knows that this product will score 60 points by 11 dribbles in the future, if you want to tell everyone now, no one will believe it!
Thompson's scouting report at the time of the draft still objectively evaluated his personal ability, although his individual scoring ability is very strong, but his dribbling ability is not excellent, and he can't control the ball, so he is destined not to become the team's leading star, and positioning as a 3D star, in order to maximize his personal ability, which also made him 11 picks selected, the Warriors hope he becomes
The strongest 3D star of the future.
"It's okay, anyway, if Thomas Jr. can be exchanged, we will definitely earn it, and it doesn't hurt to have tall defenders."
After reading the draft report, the two coaches basically understood, and left after eating and drinking.
Downey Jr.'s report is quite accurate, but the gaze of the three people in front of him must have limitations.
But Jiang Chao, who hugged the farewell team at the airport, was much more than they expected, he was already looking forward to Beverley + Hayward + Thompson + Butler + George's guard line iron bucket formation, Kobe Bryant + James came together enough for them to drink a pot!
37 points in a single game, 61 points in the third quarter, the best 3D off-ball player in later generations, this is not blown, this is a championship ring as proof.
If Jiang Chao looked at this draft report, he would also feel that he had done a good job, except that the defense was underestimated.
And the doubts of the three high-level executives are also normal, when Tang Shen entered the NBA in 2011, the style of the entire league was still stuck in a positional battle style similar to that of the Lakers and Mavericks.
Who would have thought that a few years later, the Warriors, who had completed the run-in, would get a championship with a simple projection.
Small man lineups are all the rage, and the league's style of play has begun to evolve into outside projection.
Thompson's strengths in the scouting report at this time were undoubtedly revealed, and the shortcomings happened to be hidden because of the team's tactics, and the Warriors needed him to be a non-ball player who did not possess the ball, and the tactical execution was very good.
Tang Shen's ability to shine in the Warriors is definitely not lucky, and the combination with Curry perfectly complements each other's flaws, and naturally becomes an indispensable territory for the championship.
And Curry is already in the Knicks' lineup!
Why Jiang Chao only said this one player, is because the Splash Brothers are like a bond, it's hard to imagine what will happen to two historical T0-level shooters when they get together!!
So Jiang Chao couldn't help but want to see the Splash Brothers take the alliance by storm!
No, the Knicks now have a bunch of three-point players on the team, maybe they will become the Tsunami brothers, offensive and defensive!
............
A week later.
Two storms blew in New York.
One is Jeremy Lin of the Nets, who performed 17+8 in 2 consecutive games, played very well in the second team, and was praised by All-Star player Xiao Si, a bit of Lin crazy, after all, this is a Knicks Development League last year's draft, the Knicks did not excavate it, and it shines after being introduced to the Nets, which is more storytelling.
The other is that Thomas Jr. successfully soared to the second round of guard in the Knicks, and in the latest game, he replaced Curry in the first quarter!
That said, Beverley fell out of favor and oh no, was dropped for the second round!!
And he has handed over good offensive statistics, plus he has the boss's "Shang Fang Sword", little Thomas is happy to be in the limelight, and he also preaches everywhere that I am the person covered by the boss, and I will do everything!!
Beverly wanted to trick him into letting him carry his school bag, but Thomas Jr. threw it away, and if it weren't for Howard and Yao Ming being peacemakers in it, the two would almost fight.
But Beverley's response was to stay up all night and train like crazy:
"Have you ever seen Manhattan at 4 a.m.?"
It became a Twitter hit for a while...... was jokingly said by fans to make up for the missing time on Twitter.
The atmosphere in the Knicks team is already a little wrong, Thomas Jr. is too jumpy, capable and capable, but this temper is wrong, and it feels like no one can control it.
It's just that the Knicks players have a good temper, and the biggest name Howard is also the kind he plays by himself after playing, so he doesn't care about the team members, he doesn't have much leadership style on the court, besides, Thomas Jr. plays well and he is also relaxed, and he is not in the same position, he has been so explosive recently, he is even a little happy, who doesn't want his teammates to be strong.
But the people in the same position are a little unbearable, Curry Harden has talked to the young coach D'Antoni including Coach Kerr, but the coaching staff is fine, he is like that, don't worry about going inside, making the players dumbfounded.
And the above Sean Marks and Jiang Chao are not seen at all, which encourages Thomas Jr. to say that Jiang Chao's boss will vigorously cultivate his atmosphere this season.
This makes the players have no choice but to go home, and they don't want to see Thomas Jr. pretending to be forced after the game.
……
Another week passed.
December 15th.
Knicks away vs Bucks.
The day before the game, the Knicks released the news that Curry was sidelined due to an ankle injury and the tactics were rested.
This day is bound to be remembered by Knicks fans, because with Curry's absence, Coach Stevens put Thomas Jr. on the Knicks @ starter for the first time!
First @ starter battle!
A show at the end of the second round, and the season has not yet been halfway through to be put on the @starter??
Outrageous!!
Little Thomas, who got the news 1 hour before the game, almost jumped to the ceiling to celebrate, but Da Yao reminded him to celebrate after the game before he closed it.
But the Bucks are also a real thing.
Thomas Jr. made a variety of buff bonuses and slashed 35 points, 12 assists, 3 steals, 0 rebounds, and 3 turnovers!! @首发带队取胜!!
It broke all kinds of records at once, and it was blown into 175 Jordan and so on............
Directly shocked the major media.
Jiang Chao and the Knicks coaching staff were blown to the sky, and the media also officially issued headlines admitting that this is the strongest 175 on the surface, and Nate Robinson posted praises.
Iverson, the representative of the short guard who has not been in the news for a long time, told reporters that he is the benchmark for short players in the future, and all young people with basketball dreams should learn from him!
Stevens, who gave Thomas Jr. 35 minutes of playing time, smiled after the game and was in control!!
If you don't brush up on the data of high scores and high assists, the old foxes of other teams will not be impressed.
The first few games have been in the teens and twenty points, not ruthless enough.
This one goes straight to 30+!!
It's up to Sean Marks next!!
And Sean Marks has actually been receiving offers from the tank team in the past few days, because they don't need immediate combat power for the bad team, they need a young future like Thomas Jr., so they are very eager to shoot the veterans in their hands, even plus the first round.
But Thomas Jr. has never responded, even if there are Warriors inside.
It wasn't until today, when Thomas Jr. @ started the game and made Curry want to call Brother Li on the hospital bed, that he took the initiative to contact the general manager of the Warriors, who was also a familiar opponent 2 years ago, Wright.
Sean Marks glanced at the calendar.
Yell.
It's a coincidence.
The next game is to play the Warriors on the road.
Isn't this an on-site inspection?
Brother Chao told you to roll on Christmas and never left you until New Year's Day.
It's time!
Telephone call:
"Hey, old friend, long time no see, what do you say, you're interested in little Thomas?"
Wright was stunned for a moment:
"What are you kidding, we're most interested in David Lee, and little Thomas is not for sale on your side now."
"That depends on what you offer."
「hat????」
