The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 277

Little Rivers' resume is quite glamorous.

Not only is he the father of an NBA head coach, but he himself was born in a prestigious school.

The most commendable thing is that he was once the No. [-] high school student in the United States selected by ESPN.

Under normal circumstances, he was selected with the tenth overall pick in the first round.

As the former No. [-] high school student, this pick was actually considered low.

Former No. [-] high school students like James and Howard entered the league as the No. [-] pick.

There are also second places such as Beasley, Jabari Parker and OJ Mayo.

No matter how bad it is, Mudiay must be selected with the seventh overall pick.

The reason why Mudiay is low in the draft is actually because his family is poor, he didn't play in the NCAA, and he came directly to the CBA to earn a one-year bonus.

Now that Gers has made such a mess, Rivers Jr. was selected with the fifth overall pick, which is not too low.

After all, he himself was selected as the No. [-] high school student, and many people felt that his father He Dou had contributed to it.

The Pistons sent away the original starting shooting guard Clay, and the second place parallel importer couldn't play the shooting guard, so Gers chose a combo guard Rivers Jr.

Li Xun silently admired Geers in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, the three most profitable players in the top ten picks will be selected for him.

He can obviously choose Bill, Lillard, Zhuang Shen, Barnes, even Terrence Ross.

A scene of Gers flashed across the TV, and I just saw his smug face, and guessed that he was quite beautiful in his heart.

After Gers finishes the selection, there is almost nothing to watch in the first round.

After the top ten picks in the first round, there is only one Fournier who is relatively strong, and the other players have not played much.

Wait until the last pick in the first round.

"I announce that the Detroit Pistons selected Michigan State University's Draymond Green with the No.30 pick in the first round."

Green couldn't believe his ears, he was actually selected by the Pistons, and Li Xun even took a fancy to him.

In the previous trial training, he had already received a guarantee from the Warriors that he would be selected with the 35th overall pick in his hand.

So he wasn't too anxious, after all he knew that he was about to come.

As a result, just before the Warriors chose him, the Pistons cut him off.

Thinking of being able to play next to Li Xun, Green jumped three feet high excitedly.

What a rookie desires the most is to be able to follow a leader like Li Xun. Thinking about the rookies Li Xun has selected over the years, almost every one of them has achieved their worth.

At present, Jiba and the little assassin have just finished their rookie season, because there are too many newcomers in the Pistons, so they have not yet emerged.

If there were no other rookies in the Pistons team, the two of them would definitely be worth double by Li Xun's side.

Green was ecstatic. He had a hunch that maybe he could get a maximum salary in his career.

Although he is also from the prestigious Michigan State University, judging from his pick, he is actually not favored.

Playing the [-]th position, but not tall enough.

And the offensive ability is urgent.

This is obviously not a promising template, that is, the Warriors' vice president Jerry West has a sharp enough vision to see the shining points in him.

There are many well-known NCAA giants in Michigan, the most famous is the University of Michigan. The Michigan Five Tigers swept the United States back then, and their popularity was scary.

And Michigan State University is actually not bad, with many players entering the NBA.

Of course the top ones are Magic Johnson, Kevin Willis, Steve Smith and former single-game assist record holder Skiles.

Apart from these four, there are almost no high-end players.

Now Green doesn't know that Li Xun has actually left the Pistons, and he doesn't know that he was not actually selected by the Pistons, but the Mavericks.

For Green, it is actually no different, because he will play next to Li Xun.

Wait until the next 31st pick, which is the draft pick that comes with the Mavericks.

Stern only announced the candidates for the first round, and Silver played in the second round.

"I announce that the Dallas Mavericks selected Khris Middleton from Texas A&M University with the No. 30 overall pick in the second round."

Green is low because of his physical talent.

But Middleton is not the case. His physical talent is fine. He is 201 cm tall and has a good wingspan. He belongs to a relatively standard small forward template.

But his school can't.

Texas A&M University is agriculture and machinery. Its academics are still very good, and its engineering is also among the top in the United States, especially in agricultural engineering, which ranks first in the United States.

But they are not traditional basketball giants.

At present, their school has not produced a star, and the only one who has a chance to be selected as an All-Star is Li Xun's former teammate Jordan Jr.

That's right, Jordan and Middleton are alumni.

Being selected in this pick, Middleton felt a little disappointed.

I thought that even if I was not a lottery pick, I would have to enter the top 31 in the first round, but now I have fallen to the [-]st pick.

What he didn't know was that if Li Xun hadn't selected him, he would have been reduced to the 39th overall pick.

Middleton was selected, and Li Xun turned off the TV directly. This draft is over for him.

Only two newcomers were selected, but Li Xun still felt it was a pity.

But the number of draft picks in Naihe's hands is not many, and the Mavericks themselves have no bargaining chips to take.

But if you count the three players sent by the Pistons, it is equivalent to saying that the Mavericks have entered five rookies, then it is not a pity.

Li Xun smacked his lips. Now that the draft is over, after the Olympics, he will be waiting for the start of the new season.

I don't know if I can win the championship this year.

Given such a deal for the Pistons, the Mavericks' lineup is actually much stronger than Li Xun imagined.

There are Clay, Giba, Middleton, Carter in the second and third positions, plus Marion and Li Xun who can play in the third position.

Players in these two positions are definitely enough.

There is the little assassin Thomas at the first position, and then there are veteran Kidd and Jet Terry, which is definitely enough.

According to the plan, Li Xun is thinking about starting the new season, and directly let the three players traded by the Pistons start.

Now that Carter, Kidd, Marion and Terry are old, they will definitely not be able to start.

As for Middleton, Li Xun plans to train him for a year first. For a player like him, he can only take his time.

Then there are the four and five positions.

At present, the Mavericks have players in the fourth and fifth positions, including Li Xun, Nowitzki, Marion, Green, and two centers from last season, the starting center Heywood and the backup center Mahinmi.

Li Xun doesn't plan to take these two centers, because they are really useless on the field.

The two of them together, not to mention competing with Howard, may not even be half the value of the white edge.

Rather than wasting so many opportunities to play, it is better to keep it and train new players.

Now Li Xun only has a hazy plan, and everything has to wait until the start of the new season.

The most important thing for Lee Hoon right now is the Olympics.

It is only mid-June now, and there are still more than two months before the Olympic Games.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Xun happened to go to the men's basketball training camp.

Back in China, Li Xun received a call from Yao Ming just as he got off the plane.

The content of the phone call surprised Li Xun.

Yao Ming is about to make a comeback.

To be precise, he only made a comeback for this Olympic Games, and he did not make a comeback.

Although he has retired for a year, Yao Ming's strength is definitely far superior to all domestic centers, so if he can make an appearance, it will definitely be a big help.

Overjoyed, Li Xun hurriedly went to see Yao Ming.

I haven't seen him for a year, and Yao Ming gained a lot of weight.

Originally, the tonnage was one of the best in the alliance, but now it has gained a lot of weight, it is simply a moving mountain.

"Brother Yao, can you really fight?"

"Don't get hurt then."

Li Xun said with concern.

Yao Ming nodded, "No problem, I always remember this year's Olympic Games."

"I missed you in the last Olympics, but this time I have to participate no matter what."

"Don't look at me gaining a lot of weight now, but this job has never been left behind, and I usually train."

"It's just that the training is definitely not as much as before, and there is no competition, so I gained weight."

"Don't worry, I don't need to play in the previous games. I believe you can lead the team to win."

"I only played the game against the Dream Team, which means I only played one game, so there is nothing to worry about."

Yao Ming said with a smile.

Li Xun thought about it, if he only played one game, then there would be no problem.

Looking at Yao Ming now, it seems that his combat power must have declined extremely sharply.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even the current Yao Ming must be better than an ordinary NBA center.

The 20-man roster for the Dream Team has come out now. Li Xun also read the roster, and there are many players who have no combat power at all and only famous players.

Such as Odom.

Odom played for the Mavericks last season, and he hit a hot eye, which almost made Carlisle cry.

When he was with the Lakers, Odom averaged 53 points on 14.4% shooting per game, which is also a relatively good striker in the league.

But after arriving at the Mavericks, this guy went straight to work and didn't work hard, shooting only 35% from the field and averaging 6.6 points per game.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to work for the Mavericks.

His heart is still in Los Angeles, not the Lakers team, but the bustling city of Los Angeles.

He is used to feasting and feasting, how can he stand a place like Dallas.

So just after the contract ended this year, he announced to the outside world that he would return to Los Angeles, but this time he was not playing for the Lakers, but the Clippers.

Li Xun also didn't ask Nelson to keep Odom. This guy is not worth saving. He has a lot of talent, but his mind is useless on the right way.

I miss the Kardashians every day.

But this is a list of 20 people, and it will definitely have to be screened in the end.

At present, Li Xun is not sure who will be in the specific lineup of this dream team.

Under normal circumstances, the lineup of this Dream Ten team is still terrifying.

The point guards are Paul, Westbrook and Fatty Gard.

The second and third positions are Kobe, Harden, James, Durant, Anthony, and Iguodala.

The inside line has Chandler, Griffin and Love.

Except for Chandler who almost means it, everyone else is very classy.

Think carefully about the lineup of the Dream Team over the years, and you can find that Chandler has always been in the lineup.

It's not that Chandler is much liked by those coaches, but that Howard doesn't want to come.

This happy big boy is too lazy, and he finally has an offseason, so he doesn't want to waste time on such things.

With this time, wouldn't it be nice to find some women who have lost their way to save them?

If Howard was serious enough, Chandler wouldn't have a thing.

But without Warcraft Howard, this time there is a white Warcraft Griffin.

Such a lineup of ghosts is indeed incomparably terrifying, they can get whatever they want.

But Li Xun is not afraid, and the current lineup of the men's basketball team is not bad.

Sun Yue was injured once before, so he was absent for about half a season.

However, this injury has benefited him. The three-pointer seems to be enlightened, and the current three-pointer is quite good.

Coupled with his own defensive skills, now Sun Yue has grown into a relatively good 3D player.

Needless to say, the boss of the Eastern powerhouse New Jersey Nets, although not very suitable for being the boss, but the strength is enough.

As for Yao Ming, Li Xun firmly believes that even the current Yao Ming can deal with Chandler without any problem.

Li Xun has both offense and defense here, no matter who is facing him, he can definitely beat him.

So against the Dream Team, Li Xun felt that their Tianchao men's basketball team would not necessarily lose.

Even if it doesn't reach a [-]-[-] split, at least it has to be a [-]-[-] split, it just depends on who plays better on both sides.

After training for about two months, Li Xun left for London with the team in early August.

There are only [-] teams in men's basketball in this year's Olympic Games, nine of which are intercontinental champions or world champions from all continents, and three other teams came from the unqualified games.

The twelve teams were divided into two groups, and the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team was Group B.

The Dream Team is in Group A. Their group has two losing teams, and apart from one Argentina, there are no strong teams in the group.

And there are a lot of strong teams in Group B. Even the old men who lost the round are not vegetarians.

Of course, compared to today's Chinese team, except for Spain, these teams are not worth mentioning.

The first game is against Spain.

In terms of book strength, the Spanish national team list is actually second only to the Dream Team and the Chinese Team.

The Gasol brothers, Ibaka and the Raptors control Calderon are all first-line players in the NBA.

In addition, shooting guard Fernandez, this is also a player who can gain a foothold in the NBA.

This lineup is still quite powerful, no wonder it can reach the finals.

"Dear Li, long time no see!"

After the sister-in-law saw Li Xun, she ran up and gave Li Xun a warm hug.

"Long time no see, Paul."

Li Xun responded with a smile, today's sister-in-law seems to be extraordinarily enthusiastic.

"Lee, I heard that you haven't renewed your contract with the Pistons. You are now a free agent."

"Come to us Lakers and build another dynasty."

"If you can build a dynasty in the Lakers, you will directly surpass Jordan and become the GOAT!"

No wonder the sister-in-law is so enthusiastic today, she dares to have such an idea.

Li Xun was speechless. He looked towards the other Spanish players and found that Marc Gasol, Ibaka and Calderon were all looking at him eagerly.

It is estimated that these guys came with missions.

This task is undoubtedly to recruit Li Xun.
