NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 74 The second round of the show, Boss Jiang's real show
Chapter 74: The second round show, Boss Jiang's real show! (Thanks to Mad Bujue Daben for the reward of 5000 points!)

With the ninth pick, the Raptors chose DeRozan.

With the tenth pick, the Bucks chose James Jennings Jr.

The 17th pick, Zhu Holiday...

As the draft continued to deepen, there was no such large-scale transaction as the Knicks, and at most it was a cash move up a pick.

The fans also gradually lost the fun, and the Knicks, who was full of presence in the top 6 picks, didn't make any more moves.

Dolan looked disdainful at home. He couldn't understand why so many people praised Jiang Chao, didn't they just choose two lottery tickets?

Give him he can choose!

"This nouveau riche, if he doesn't get signed, he will be forced to rest. He has the guts to make a few more first-round shows, so don't dare."

The other employees of the TV station didn't dare to speak, and they were all thinking in their hearts, if it were you, a pig, I don't know what stinky fish and rotten shrimps they would choose.

It's not that Jiang Chao doesn't want to choose, but there are too many guards in this class, and the cost of changing the first-round pick is too high. A few valuable players in the team can't be easily moved, otherwise the salary will not be balanced and will be lower than the poor ghost line , or there are too many people to exceed the big list.

These later powerful point guards are basically ball-handling types, and Zhu Ge is also an All-Star, but for a ball-handling guard like Curry who can be the cornerstone for more than ten years, it is still necessary to support Curry without thinking.

When it was the 25th pick here, President Pu really called and wanted Jiang Chao to give some advice.

He also knew that the Knicks would basically not make any moves, so he directly asked Jiang Chao how Rodrigue Beaubois was, and he was going to choose this 188 guard from Turkey.

Jiang Chao didn't know what kind of cow or horse it was, he only knew that the name he hadn't heard much about must be bad.

"It's a defender again, and all of you defenders can make a big table."

"Yeah, they can't be trained, but there are only guards." Mr. Pu is annoyed. The rest of the players are either PG or SG, and at most they are SF. This draft is full of guards.

Jiang Chaoyu couldn't bear to get Ibaka, so he wanted to make up for Thunder, so he secretly helped Mr. Pu:
"Isn't Taj Gibson a power forward? Pick him, he can shoot and run, and he can be Harrington's substitute."

"Okay, let me see!"

Mr. Pu hung up the phone, and then really chose him.

"Wind City Rose, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Chao could only silently express his embarrassment after seeing the scolding expression on the Bulls management side.

Taj Gibson should have been selected by the Bulls at the next pick. The Bulls definitely don't want a guard. The youngest MVP in history is here.

And Tai Gibson is Rose's right-hand man in later generations. The two played well in the pick-and-roll.

"President Pu, remember to treat me to dinner after this kid typed it out." Jiang Chao called to congratulate him.

"A low-post pick, a power forward who is not tall, just needs to be a qualified rotation player."

"The person I suggest should be the best rookie for a while!"

"Haha, okay, if you are a rookie for a while, I will be your die-hard fan! You come to Ohio State, and I will pay for everything."

It seemed to be a joke by Jiang Chao, but it later became a reality, maybe it has something to do with the lack of insiders this year. Whether it is in the previous life or now, Gibson is the best rookie team.

……

But it was Jiang Chao's turn to be serious in the second round, and he called Sean Marks to get ready.

"We have a 40th pick in the second round." Sean Marks said, as if afraid that Jiang Chao would forget.

"One is not enough." Jiang Chao smiled slightly.

"Boss, don't play any more main players!"

Mustache also stopped again and again: "This year's second round is not worth it! Picking a new insider should be enough?"

Jiang Chao: "Don't worry, I won't produce anything, just spend money on it!"

"Okay boss!" Sean Marks shut up in time, you want to buy a second-round pick like a nouveau riche and pretend I didn't say it.

This year's second-round pick is indeed very cheap, because it is predicted that the second round will also be a bunch of guards.

But generally, it is enough for a team to train 2-3 rookies a year, and no one will particularly care about finding treasure in the second round.

Now it is not five or six years ago, the Internet is more and more developed, and the basketball league data of any small country can be seen by the whole world.

Whether it is a local player or an international player, the scouts of the 30 teams have long seen the powerful ones, and they have been selected in the front.

"Come on, let me take another look at the list of more than 50 players this year."

Jiang Chao rolled up his sleeves, and carefully read the names and photos in the scout report while the other bosses were chatting and laughing.

In his opinion, the first round of lottery trading is not a big deal, and the probability of winning the lottery show is already very high.

He still chose two native American college basketball stars, and the lower limit is here.

But the second round was different.

The media rarely predicts the second-round picks correctly, because there are few who can really shine.

In the current NBA draft, there are too many candidates from all over the world, and there are many interests involved. Some teams even secretly cooperate with gambling companies, and the draft will open, and the second round is the hardest hit.

Generally speaking, ordinary teams will choose a player with a two-way contract in the second round, and try back and forth between the Development League and the NBA.

Some teams will select some international players who can sell tickets in the second round to develop the international market, such as players from big countries, such as Sun Yue and Zhou Qi. They give a small contract, and Chinese sponsors get soft when they cooperate. It is a cash cow type.

There are also those who choose not to waste. There are also Wang Zhelin, Xue Yuyang and others in China. Even if they were selected, they found that their CBA performance was still not good, so they didn't pay them the CBA buyout fee, and they didn't bother to recall them.

There are also some scheming teams who will choose players who have been hiding their youth training in the second round. This is rare, because the NBA's powerful rookies cannot be exposed, and scouts for talented players in the United States will be like Like locusts around you to study any of your games.

There is also the option of selecting players that the owner likes or players from the owner’s country, who are promoted to accept NBA experience in a formal way, that is, to choose individuals to cultivate slowly, anyway, the signing rights are in their own hands.

For example, Zhou Qina also has the intention of being with the Chinese national team. To train this big center for the Chinese team, the Development League has given many opportunities, but it is a pity that Qi will never be ready.

There is also a good example of Brother Qiu, which was a misnomer high-ranking pick that Los Angeles, run by Dad Qiu, had to choose.

Also, it is purely for the boss to make money. Before this year, a low pick in the second round was basically 200 million.
Some teams really don't want to choose or don't want players, and they can't squeeze people into the roster. Instead of choosing some free-range international players, it's better to make some money for the boss.

But still the same sentence, the second round is full of opportunities and stories of dark horse counterattacks.

The players in the second round have their own "my life is up to me" buff bonus, as long as they play the second round, they are not ordinary people.

Many players who fall to the second round are ashamed of the second round label.

Second-round big babies like Yaodao and Jokic are generally rare to meet in more than ten years, but as long as you are selected, you will be the object of all fans calling daddy.

There are also sixth men like Lu Wei and Dinwiddie, Chasing Dream, Rodman, and Beverly.This kind of inspirational character who relies on pure positivity...

There are also many managers who want to choose such a magical dark horse.

The second round of Taobao is the one who really shows its ability. Of course, Taobao, who is not drafted, has the vision of a grandpa.

"Beverly..."

"By the way, Brother Gou is also participating in this year's draft. I seem to have seen his name just now."
