Chapter 187: Draft Plan, East-West Showdown!

"Guys, we need reinforcements!"

With the playoffs over and the Oklahoma City Thunder returning home, they must prepare for the start of next season.

If players can take vacations or improve their basketball skills in the offseason, then they, the team management, must be well prepared for next season's roster and possible trades.

The league is ever-changing, and no one can predict what will happen next, and perhaps a simple trade, an ordinary draft, can change the fate of a team, or even an entire league.

Gambling!

In the unseen future, every offseason, team management must list all the possibilities and then choose the most reasonable option from them.

It is important to minimize the invisible losses, otherwise, the team is likely to not be able to turn around for a long time due to some decisions.

"With Lin Mu and Durant as the core, we have a lot of chips, we have a lot of high-quality players, and at the same time, we have a lot of draft picks at our disposal in this year's draft."

"But one thing is very serious, our draft pick is not high, the player Lin Mu mentioned, at least in the top five, in our current form, it is difficult to bring him to the team."

"Deal! We've got a lot of young players who have played really well in the regular season and even in the playoffs, and I'm sure there are some rebuilding teams that will be interested in them. ”

"Seconded! The most important thing at this stage is to appease Lin Mu and Durant's emotions, they are the future hope of the Thunder, we must carry out large-scale restructuring and reinforcement around the two! ”

Some cruel words simply came out of the mouths of these people.

Their words and deeds will determine the final belonging of many players in the team, and now that the young players are pushing, what they need to do is to maximize their interests and form a super team that is most suitable for Lin Mu and Durant!

If they can, those veteran contracts that are about to expire, as well as players who still have value but have not played much playing time this year, will become trade chips for the Thunder in the offseason.

They are not worried about not being able to choose the player they like, they are worried about whether the Thunder will be able to dominate the contract renewal negotiations a year later if they fail to select the player Lin Mu wants.

Renewing the contract in advance, judging from Lin Mu's performance in the first year, it is definitely a sure thing, even Durant, after the end of this season, there will be relevant personnel in contact with him, and the contract renewal agreed in advance will be agreed upon, and in the third year, the Thunder will give Adu an absolute top salary!

With Lin Mu and Durant as the cornerstone, on the day the Thunder was eliminated by the Lakers, the offseason had already begun!

At this time, Lin Mu was sitting precariously, looking at the two beauties in front of him, his face looked a little strange.

Gasley Johnson, who has not yet starred in the Avengers series, and Kendall Jenner, who has long legs and can't be contained, good guys, what kind of underworld combination is this?

To be honest, even though Jenna is only 14 years old, she is no less tall than the Black Widow next to her.

"Lin Mu, I like to watch you play, passionate and punbai, always full of energy on the court."

Regardless of the country, the first time we met, it was definitely better, and Gasley Johnson expressed her identity as soon as she came up, I am your fan, and I like your kind very much.

This is no longer a hint, but a showdown of Chiguoguo!

"Old slut, more than 20 people, why are you still so blatantly seducing Xiao Xianrou?"

Jenna was a little angry, obviously she was the first to know Lin Mu, how could in the end, anyone could dribble with Lin Mu's hands, but she couldn't?

Looking at her airfield, and then at Gasley Johnson beside her, Jenner gritted her teeth with hatred.

How could God be so unjust and deprive me of what I should have as a woman!

Ignoring Jenna, who was losing her temper on the side, Lin Mu stared at Jia Sili, and the longing in her eyes was undisguised.

Black Widow, one of the sexiest women in the world, has captured the hearts of many boys and girls in tight black clothes, and her graceful figure is still archived in many people's computer C drives.

There is no reason why Lin Mu is not interested in such a woman, as for Durant, who wants to drink bath water, he will go back and bring two bottles to ensure that he has enough!

Bath water with a variety of nutrient solutions, presumably Durant will not refuse.

After a simple meal and chat, under Jenna's jealous gaze, Lin Mu began a happy two-person journey with Gasley.

"How is it, isn't this set of breakthrough moves a little handsome?"

Looking at the arrogant black widow beside him, Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"If you can, can you have a few more sets of handsome breakthrough moves?"

"Of course! As you wish! ”

......

When Lin Mu woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Although losing the game was expected, the blow to Lin Mu was still very huge.

He couldn't turn the tide yet, and when the team was at a disadvantage, he could only watch his opponents run over them, carrying that ridiculous dream into the distance.

There are still many shortcomings, Lin Mu was unhappy in his heart, so he sprinkled all his anger on Jia Sili.

After fighting all night, Rao is extremely inclusive Black Widow was unable to parry, and finally could only raise the small white flag and surrender.

"Useless woman, let's do it again next time!"

Lin Mu walked away in style, and when Gasli was asleep because of exhaustion, Lin Mu had already joined his good friends and embarked on the peak of becoming stronger.

"How can you say that, who are the people who responded to the call this time?"

Glancing at Du Xiaoshuai beside him, Lin Mu held a cup of coconut juice and asked while drinking.

"Everyone in the group is coming, as soon as I heard that it was a training camp held by you, one or two of them were active!"

Durant pursed his lips, how could Lin Mu have such a big charm, and with an order, all the friends in the group came?

"It's okay, this summer, let's get restless!"

When Lin Mu and his party gathered on the hot south coast, the Western Conference Finals were also played in the spotlight!

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets!

Strong dialogue, the first in the west vs. the third in the west!

The Space City led by Yao Ming, the No. 1 center in the West, faced the Purple and Gold led by Kobe Bryant, the league's strongest scorer.

The two teams are almost the same in terms of hard power, and after Yao Ming gets plenty of rest, is in excellent physical condition, and strengthens the interior and power forward positions, this Rockets are strong and not weaker than the Los Angeles Lakers, who are all soldiers.

The twin towers that the Lakers rely on don't seem to have any advantage in front of the interior group composed of Yao Ming, Kostic, and Scola .

Bynum can't prevent Yao Ming one-on-one, but Yao Ming one-on-one can perfectly limit Bynum's play.

Scola is strong in attack and weak in defense, similar to Gasol's attributes, the only difference is that Gasol is a hundred times stronger than a diamond whether it is protecting the frame or blocking.

As for the third man Kostic, this player who is definitely worthy of the main center in other teams, once Yao Ming's physical fitness is exhausted, he can play a good role in supplementing, the rocket interior line will not become very weak because of Yao Ming's downplay, on the contrary, Bynum's physical fitness is also limited, Kostic can completely dominate the interior line after Yao Ming is off the court.

In addition, Brooks' growth is gratifying, and the small point guard with strong breakthrough and fast speed seems a little difficult for Fisher.

If you're a strong, weight-based point guard like Lowry, Fisher won't be intimidated.

But with the fast No. 1 position, it is difficult for the old fish to keep up.

If you insist on saying which position the Lakers have the advantage, it may be the existence of Kobe Bryant in the second position.

With Maddy out injured, it's hard to find a No. 2 player on the Rockets team who can match Kobe.

Of course, the Rockets' Weaver is also good and can make up the gap to some extent.

The first battle between the two sides!

Still playing at the star-studded Staples Center, the yellow and red duel has become the main theme, Chinese fans all over the world are cheering for the Rockets, and it has come to this point, those Lakers fans and Kobe fans have turned against each other, and now, in their hearts, the Rockets are the only home court!

In the training hall, a group of young people gathered together in twos and threes, facing the big screen in front of them, and the game between the two teams was in full swing.

"Lin, who do you think can win?"

Durant asked as he chewed crispy noodles and ate.

"Huh! Do you need to ask? The great Los Angeles Lakers, of course! ”

Before Lin Mu could answer, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the side had already taken the lead in answering.

"Are you sick? Do I have any questions for your opinion? Get out of the way! ”

Durant can't stand it anymore, you player who didn't make the playoffs, what are you talking about here?

"What's the matter, Lao Tzu is willing to express his own opinions, which is in your way? Is there a kind of you beat Lao Tzu? ”

The Wei Shao even put one side of his face up.

"Why, if Lao Tzu doesn't teach you a good lesson today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Kevin!"

Durant threw the crisp noodles aside, and the two hated and killed each other, never stopping!

Lin Mu was too lazy to care about these two or two goods, watched the game carefully, and refused to miss the slightest detail.

Yao Ming gave a request on the inside, and when he was physically sufficient, Adelman deliberately improved his tactics for Yao Ming, listened to his opinion, and put four players with three-point shooting ability outside the three-point line, so that the Lakers did not dare to pinch the shot, and Yao Ming got a lot of one-on-one singles opportunities in the paint area.

At the end of the first quarter, Yao Ming slashed 14 points on Bynum's head to help the Rockets enter the second quarter with a 6-point advantage.

During the normal break, Yao Ming needed to recover off the court as soon as possible, Kostic came off the bench, Artest at small forward became the core of the team, Joe Smith played as a power forward, but Battier became the starting second position, and the young Brooks continued to fight on the court.

thought that the rocket would fall into passivity after Yao Ming was off the field, but the truth was beyond everyone's expectations.

This rocket is full of resilience, and even without their backbone, it can burst out of extraordinary energy in the face of adversity.

The two sides battled until the last second, and with the score tied, the Rockets got one last chance to attack.

"Can it be killed? Can this goal be killed? ”

Zhang Chengli's voice was a little hoarse because of the roar, but he didn't care, he just expected the Rockets to win the game!

After serving from the sideline and getting rid of the defender, Yao Ming received a pass from Artest.

Gasol had already pounced, Yao Ming received the ball and turned around, using his signature back!

With a height of 2.26 meters, do you TM play with me and lean back?

Gasol was stunned, how do you let me defend against such an offensive method?

No way!

Gasol prayed inwardly that this goal would not be scored!

"Brush!"

The crisp sound of the nets fell silent for Staples, and the moment the stopwatch went to zero, the winner of the game was called.

"Lore! He's killed! Yao Ming is killed! ”

Director Zhang waved his little wings and swayed wildly in the studio, which formed a strong contrast with Kobe's desperate expression.

"I'm blanching! Lao Tzu pulled a, and the rocket completed the lore? ”

Lefu came back from the bathroom, staring at the screen a little overwhelmed.

"Tai Nima is awesome, Yao Ming, he is the god in my heart!"

James Harden, the big fat boy who saw Yao Ming pounce on him in his previous life, was as happy as a child at this time.

“Fuck! Kobe Bryant actually lost? My great Los Angeles Lakers, he actually lost? ”

Wei Shao's incredible expression and very surprised tone made Lin Mu feel that this person was a complete little black man.

"These two teams, whoever wins, take it for granted, and in terms of overall strength, they really win the league."

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

"Isn't it? The Cleveland Cavaliers in the East, but the number one in the league! ”

Durant obviously disagrees with Lin Mu's words, and puts the data to be reasonable, the Cavaliers are the team with the best record.

"So, the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers, are you more optimistic about the Cavaliers?"

Lin Mu asked rhetorically.

"Of course! No one in the East can stop LeBron, and his team will surely make it out of the East and meet the winner of the Western Conference Finals on the stage of the Finals. ”

Durant's expectations are extremely firm, no wonder he, a normal person would feel that the Magic is not the opponent of the Cavaliers at all.

However, when the two teams actually played each other, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

The knight is defeated!

After James played 41 minutes and scored 49 points, he still lost to the Orlando Magic led by Dwight Howard!

The power of the star is vividly displayed, and the Turkish Magic unleashed their talents on the court, hitting 14 assists in the game, and all the Magic's outside players got three points and scored something.

On the other hand, the Cavaliers, in addition to the inside big Z and the forward LeBron, rely on the No. 2 scoring point, Xiao Mo, who has the title of "Mo Bu Pass", is inefficient, and the true shooting rate is even more miserable.

No one can stand up and score!

The Cavaliers are stuck in a kind of cycle, and the better James plays, the lower the team's win rate seems to become.

"Impossible! My big knight actually lost to the little magic? ”

Durant exclaimed, not believing that this was a real thing.

It wasn't until the second game that James completed the whistle smash on the outside and saved the Cavaliers from fire and water, and the Cleveland Cavaliers' road to the Finals seemed to become clear again.
