Chapter 812 The Spurs' reinforcement target ([-])
"The emperor is home!"

"Cleveland Rises Again!"

"Knights, the championship contenders for next season!"

……

I have to say that the James team has a hand. Not to mention grabbing the headlines of the defending champion abruptly, it actually directly makes people regard the Cavaliers as the championship contenders for next season!
It seems that after the tempering of "Decision 1", it is not only James who has grown up, but also his team!
Many media have begun to predict that next season's championship, that is, the battle between the Spurs and the Cavaliers, is James' road to revenge!
"Tsk tsk, watching this kind of news, I always feel that we will definitely lose next season." Qin Yan is still staying in San Antonio for the time being, and he will go home in a few days before going to the shooting site of "The Expendables 3".

But for the past few days, he was spending time at Duncan's house, eating, drinking, and WIFI, and everyone else in the team was starting to prepare for their vacation one after another, only Qin Yan was working hard.

"It's not going to be good next season."

Duncan came over with two glasses of freshly squeezed juice. As professional athletes, they must ensure their health, so under normal circumstances, they will not drink excessively, and drinks are also sports drinks.

"Tim, Tracy is gone, Matt seems to be planning to retire, and then it seems that Di Ge doesn't plan to renew his contract?"

Qin Yan is a little unhappy. He wants to leave three teammates at once, and McGrady and Split are still important rotation players. Didn't you see Nuo Tianwang being "bullied" by Split in this season's playoffs?
"Well, I tried to persuade Diego, but he wants more playing time and salary, you know, it's impossible."

Duncan is also a little helpless. Splitter is actually the most important substitute inside the Spurs this season. In addition, he has performed very well on the defensive end. Now many teams are willing to offer him a contract close to the maximum salary.

If the Spurs don't want him to go, they can only match the contract, but Popovich will not match it. In Popovich's eyes, Splitter has not yet reached the level where he can get a maximum salary.

"Tsk, we'll be at a disadvantage on the inside next season." Qin Yan's mind was running fast. James would definitely form an imperial guard when he returned to the Cavaliers. It's time to wake up, so if they can't maintain a high degree of advantage in the interior, the road to the Spurs' dynasty next season will not be too smooth.

However, for a while, where can I find a suitable substitute?
Qin Yan thought and thought, suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

"Tim, what's our pick in today's draft?"

"The last number one, it's still a question." Duncan gave Qin Yan a blank look. He had the first record in the league last season, so what high-ranking pick do he want?
"What, you plan to scoop up people from rookies? Just like you scooped Hassan out of NBDL?"

Of course, Duncan can trust Qin Yan's vision, and Whiteside is a good example.

"Well, I think there should be a few good seedlings among the rookies of this year." Qin Yan said enthusiastically. In his memory, the rookies of this year, especially the second-round picks, have very A powerful insider!

"Wait, I think it's better to talk to the coach about this matter. I'll make a call to see where the coach is."

When Duncan saw Qin Yan's expression, he knew that this guy must have some particularly good candidates to recommend, so for the sake of caution, he first reported to Popovich, and then went to Popovich with Qin Yan. Odd home.

"Coach, this guy named Jokic is worth taking!"

As soon as they met, Qin Yan couldn't wait to tell Popovich about the candidate in his heart. Yes, it was Nikola Jokic, the new core of the Nuggets. With a height of more than 208 cm and a weight of 113 kg, he is very successful in both positions of power forward and center!
Moreover, his shooting ability and coping ability are very good. He can not only open up the space, but also send exquisite assists in time.

Later, when people described him, they all said that this guy played very "coquettish" and could easily detonate the G-spot on the scene, so people in the Jianghu gave him the nickname-"Join the teacher".

Of course, he is not without shortcomings. As an insider, Jokic's rebounding ability is not strong, and now he is not as perfect as he was later. Now he is a fat man with a weight of 120+.

And the most important thing is that this guy has historically postponed his entry to the NBA for a year. I don't know if he will still be like this in this life.

However, in Qin Yan's heart, this little guy in 95 is fully capable of succeeding the Spurs power forward after Duncan retires!Moreover, his style of play does not conflict with Whiteside, and can form a powerful complement!

If he can be picked up, then when Whiteside is strong inside, the opponent will not dare to double-team at will. As long as the double-team is passed to Jokic, and then he shoots or passes at will, the Spurs can play inside. Tactics are enriched at once!

Think about it, Duncan retired two years later, the Spurs had Whiteside and Jokic on the inside, and Qin Yan and Leonard on the outside. The defense line composed of these four people is really a solid wall. blood flow.

"Do you like this young man? Well, is he getting fatter?"

Popovich naturally didn't know about Jokic's future. He looked at the information on the computer from the Spurs scouts and frowned slightly.

The height of 208, um, is not short, it is no problem before playing big, but the weight of 120+ is really fat, can this little guy still run?

"Oh, coach, it's okay for him to be fat now. When you come to us, are you afraid that he won't lose weight? Just kidding, let him practice with me, and I will give you a high-quality insider with a standard figure in a month."

"Well... what's this guy's predicted pick? The second round, then we'll have no problem." Popovich decided to trust Qin Yan, at least he felt that as a European insider, this little white fat man would be fine. No matter how bad he is, his skill with his hands should not be bad. European insiders all have one-handed shots. If he comes to the team, he can indeed provide fire cover for that little guy Hassan.

"Coach, aren't you afraid that others will cut off your beard? You have a high vision, but there are still a few old monsters in this alliance who will not lose to you. If we are cut off, then we will suffer a loss." Qin Yan thought You can still fight for it. After all, no matter how good something is, if you don't put it in your pocket, it will make you feel guilty.

"Okay, then I'll figure out a way, I hope this little fat man won't let me down." Popovich smiled, and then threw out another news that was a bit shocking to the Spurs:
"Yesterday, Boris called me and said he too was homesick."

"what?"

There was a thunder on the ground, and Qin Yan and Duncan jumped up directly, with expressions of shock and disbelief...
