The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 140 I Really Came to Beat Little Devils
After Li Xun came back, Dumas asked with a smile.

"Lee, Jeff Teague of Wake Forest."

"Or Darren Collison from UCLA?"

The Pistons currently have a first-round pick, which is their own draft pick this season, the 20th pick in the first round.

According to the rookie ranking prediction before the draft, the point guards available for this pick include Teague and Collison.

Li Xun is no stranger to these two.

In fact, both of them have the same choice, and their strengths are similar.

Maybe Collison's three-pointer is better, but he is short and has worse defense than Teague.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Teague is good at defending. The defense of the two is even worse than the current Sun Yue.

Dumas also felt that it didn't matter who he chose, but fortunately he let Li Xun try his luck to draw a prize.

"Mr. Dumars, there's a rookie named Patrick Beverley."

"It's also a point guard, I think you can pay attention."

In Li Xun's mind, Beverly must be better than Teague or Collison.

After all, Hebei is a player who has been selected to the best defensive team, and his three-pointer is better than Teague. It can be regarded as a street stall version of Payton.

"Beverly? I have a little impression of him."

"It seems that the school was banned for one year because of plagiarism?"

Dumars is impeccable in terms of morality, and maybe he doesn't like Beverly, who does not achieve his goals by unscrupulous people.

"Yes."

"Teague or Collison are too similar to Curry. I don't think it makes much sense to win them."

"It's better to get a point guard who is good at defense and can be used at critical moments."

Li Xun continued to bewitch Dumas.

The reason why Dumars wanted to choose another point guard after choosing Curry.

That's because Sun Yue is about to be traded now. It is not known whether Iverson will renew his contract with the Pistons, or how much of a contract he will renew.

The former Bynum, whose contract expired, has now left the team.

It is equivalent to saying that the Pistons now have no point guard.

Even with Curry, a backup point guard has to be found.

Dumars had tried out Beverly before and was somewhat impressed with his defense and three-pointers.

What Li Xun said is also very reasonable. Curry is not a qualified defender at first glance.

At least this broiler chicken doesn't look like it now.

The team really needs a defensive point guard.

"Okay, then choose Beverly."

Dumars made a decisive decision.

Li Xun smirked, didn't Fatty Mo claim to be as shrewd as a ghost?You don't have to drink your own footwashing water.

Hei Bei was originally a player selected by the Rockets with a second-round pick, and now he has also become Li Xun's teammate.

Yao Ming and Artest, whom Dumars is currently negotiating with.

The rocket was not only poached by Li Xun, but the foundation was almost dug.

This rocket is completely cold, and even Tracy McGrady will be sold next season, and the team will officially enter reconstruction.

……

The second day after the draft.

The Pistons and the Minnesota Timberwolves jointly held a trade conference.

The Timberwolves traded Curry, who they had just drafted, and acquired Afflalo, a second-year rookie who performed brilliantly, from the Pistons.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded in the circle.

Dumas directly became a mediocre person accused by thousands of people.

"Are you kidding me? Trade Afflalo for that child laborer? Has Dumas lost his mind!"

"Afflalo's scoring ability is outstanding, and he can shoot suddenly. Although his defense is almost meaningless, he is young after all, and there is still room for improvement."

"This elementary school student's defense is 100% inferior to Afflalo."

"It's over, the Pistons are completely over, with such a mess, let alone the finals this year, they won't even make it to the Eastern Conference Finals."

"Hey, Li Xun is really miserable. He brought a bunch of old bones last season. Let him lead a group of elementary school students this season?"

Countless fans began to complain about Dumars' operation.

After Sun Yue left, Dumas took on the heavy responsibility of helping Li Xun take the blame.

Li Xun saw Curry here, and the three-point attribute was also bound, and it was time to leave for Xiangjiang.

On July 7st, Li Xun arrived at Xiangjiang International Airport with Sun Yue.

A bunch of familiar faces were waiting for Li Xun and his wife at the airport pick-up gate.

After seeing this group of people, Li Xun staggered in fright. Are they all here?

This is too bullying, right?

Da Zhi, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Chen Jianghua, Li Nan, Liu Wei, Du Feng, Wang Lei and Zhang Qingpeng.

Except that Yao Ming was injured and did not come, Sun Yue stood beside him.

These people in front of them are exactly the 08 players in the Chinese men's basketball roster for the 12 Olympic Games.

Good guy, let's play the East Asian Games, so exciting?

"Brother Li, many of them are here to shop while taking advantage of this time."

"Also, didn't you come this time? The big guys are very curious about you, so they came to meet you."

"After all, everyone will be teammates of the national team."

Sun Yue saw Li Xun's shock, and explained in a low voice behind him.

Li Xun understands that this is the case.

He said that in the East Asian Games, it would not be possible to deploy so many core combat forces.

In fact, other players are even more puzzled, what is the magic of the East Asian Games, which attracted Li Xun.

"Li Xun, is your girlfriend a Xiangjiang actress?"

"Otherwise, I really don't know why you came to play at this level."

"Or are you here to beat up little devils?"

Da Zhi, the oldest one, laughed and teased Li Xundao.

Li Xun suddenly grinned, "Brother Zhi is really right, I really came to beat up the little devil this time."

"Brothers, I heard from Sun Yue that our opponent in the opening match is the little devil."

"I want to make some noise."

Everyone burst into laughter, they found that Li Xun was not quite what they expected.

Li Xun's growth trajectory is different from theirs. He went to high school in the United States, and then played in the NCAA for a year to participate in the draft.

So Dazhi and the others don't know much about Li Xun at all.

They also watched the Pistons games, and they knew Li Xun's bad temper on the court, and he would beat him up if he didn't agree with him.

I thought Li Xun was an unapproachable person, after all, his rank is there.

Competitive sports have always been about strength, and it is normal for the strong to look down on the weak.

Unexpectedly, after just a few minutes of contact, their previous impression of Li Xun was completely overturned.

Li Xun is extremely approachable and approachable, and he doesn't see the airs of being a star at all.

"Xiao Li, let you start the opening match."

"It just so happened that Yao Ming didn't come, why don't you play the center forward?"

Guo Shiqiang, the new coach of the Tianchao men's basketball team, is directly preparing to arrange Li Xun in the starting lineup.

He's well aware that other players won't have a problem with that.

"Row!"

"You can play anywhere."

Li Xun scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Facing Kobe Bryant's top NBA super giants, Li Xun has almost no tension.

It was only when Li Xun saw his favorite Da Ben that Li Xun lost his composure a little bit.

Unexpectedly, after seeing these national players today, Li Xun felt nervous for no reason.
