NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 77 Captain North Carolina, the strongest 3D, is this the CBA draft scene?

Chapter 77: The captain of North Carolina, the strongest 3D, this is the scene of the CBA draft?

From Beverly to Zhang Jike (open hand, inheriting Kobe), they are all strong guards against point guards like Curry.

In addition, Harden is also regarded as Curry's lifelong enemy in the same class. It seems that Curry's future opponents have been put into the team by Jiang Chao.

But he was already looking forward to how Mengku would be ravaged crazily in the team training match.

Sean Marks: "This rookie's reputation is greater than his strength. Both Carter and Jordan went to watch his game, but his performance is really not impressive enough."

D'Antoni said to Jiang Chao: "But playing in the Development League is enough to make the Development League tickets sell more, North Carolina captain."

In fact, President Pu and RC have the same idea.

North Carolina captain + New York team, Jiang Chao probably chose him for a gimmick.

Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously:
"No no no, I need him to be a 3-and-D player in our lineup."

"3D?"

"Three points and defense, this kind of player will be very popular in the development trend of basketball."

"Indeed, now there are more and more defenders, and there are very few defensive players."

Sean Marks can only reluctantly believe that it would be okay if you didn’t choose Beverly in front of you. You chose Beverley and a defensive guard, four guards... It’s hard to convince them that all four of them can play in the NBA Ball.

Jiang Chao didn't say much. In the future small ball era, 3-pointers and anti-mobile lineups will become the top priority.

The reason why Ariza can play for so long is because of his 3D attributes.

There is also the later 3D king Thompson, who dribbled the ball in a mess, Covington, and Bridges in the 2022 Suns...

Of course, the generation who carried forward the concept of 3D may be the Danny Green he chose.

In the seasons when the Spurs won the championship, his role in the Spurs was simply to defend against the opponent's vanguard + ambush 3 points, and he didn't need to do any other work!

But the on-site response was good, and everyone was guessing Jiang Chao's intentions.

Netizens complained: "It's not that the Cavaliers want to sell, it's because they gave too much. This is equivalent to giving 233 million cash directly, in exchange for a player who may be useless."

"Danny Green is too old, and he can't practice dribbling anymore. I don't think he can basically dribble behind his back."

"Yes, I'm a North Carolina fan. I haven't seen him unlucky. He may make a lot of mistakes under pressure at the NBA level."

Pseudo-fans are already stunned:

"What does the boss mean? To strike hard at the draft? Doesn't the free market make waves?"

Spike Lee took a sip of beer:
"The salary of these rookies is not high, it is likely to squeeze out space for signing big names?"

Daddario didn't understand and asked, "Do we have big names willing to come?"

"Look at the performance of the team this season. If the performance is good, the big names are willing to move in with their bags."

Everyone knows that the contracts of big names such as Little Emperor, Melon and Warcraft will expire next year, and many teams are clearing space.

Explaining Jr. Van Gundy: "Four guards, just make up a table."

"Haha, he is the protagonist tonight."

"Originally, everyone's eyes were on Griffin. Boss Jiang Chao let everyone see his various trading methods today."

Sports Illustrated official website: "The Knicks make another shot, and the North Carolina captain is elected!"

I have to say that Danny Green has quite a lot of fans. After Jiang Chao chose him, a bunch of North Carolina alumni praised and thanked Jiang Chao.

Upstairs, the Knicks management is a bit autistic. This second-round pick is not enough, and the boss lost another one?
Although the money is paid by the boss, in their opinion, it is not good for a 23-year-old rookie to give them a salary increase.

Rich and powerful.

"It's so fierce." Liu Yan didn't quite understand that Jiang Chao was very strong, and he made the draft that should have been calm to a climax.

Soon Sean Marks received a video call from Danny Green's CAA agent.

Both of them in the video had tears in their eyes, and this handsome white-skinned guy with a cropped hair choked up and thanked the general manager and the boss.

"I'm a swingman, I can improve the team's perimeter defense!"

"Please give me a chance, I can do anything you want me to do, rebound, defend or pass the towel and water! Whatever you need me to do, I will do it!"

This passage seems familiar, it seems to have been said to Popovich.

Jiang Chao knew that he had the same tortuous experience as Brother Gou in his previous life, but he would not comfort Green like he did to Brother Gou.

Because Danny Green is richer than Gouge, you can't let him relax:

"It depends on your performance. Come to the summer camp earlier."

"Okay! I will give everything for the Knicks!"

Danny Green has been suffering since the first round. He tried out all the teams, and his performance in the trial training was so poor that he fell out of the first round prediction early.

So when he reached the 46th pick, his mentality has collapsed. At the last moment, the Knicks actually bought the draft pick and chose him. This is undoubtedly his last straw.

At first he couldn't even believe it, is this okay?Can this also go to New York?
And he also knows that if the second-round pick wants to really enter the NBA, he has to sign a contract for him, and he doesn't want the way the development league contract is stocked.

Brother Green's agent was also grateful: "I will supervise his playing well and let him prove it to the other 29 teams."

Sean Marks: "Seize the opportunity, the boss gave you the opportunity."

Jiang Chao signaled to hang up the video.

Danny Green's early career was very bumpy, but being able to get through it is closely related to his personal efforts. He also likes such a person who has high demands on himself.

In his previous life, he only played 20 games in the season after being selected by the Cavaliers, averaging 5 points per game, and couldn't practice much at all.

Including after arriving at the Spurs, he was actually waived within a week.

But he had the courage to do the most daring thing in his career, that is, he called Popovich, said what he said to Jiang Chao above, and offered me a small contract. The Spurs are willing to be a cow or a horse.

The Spurs management was moved and gave him a contract.

After that, everyone knows that the champion shooter can win the championship everywhere, the triple crown shooter, the best defensive second team, the 3D benchmark...

Now that he is in New York, Jiang Chao also hopes that he will be as inspirational.

It's a perfect place for this kind of player to make a big splash.

……

"Mr. D'Antoni, remember to tell the young coach that Danny Green only needs to practice three-pointers and defense, and he doesn't need to learn anything else."

"Okay." D'Antoni, a part-time coaching consultant, nodded.

Jiang Chao already has a way to use Danny Green in his mind. He smokes in the corner on the offensive end, locks the opponent's arrows on the defensive end, and can even chase and defend the nail plate. He will definitely be developed into an excellent role player.

Looking forward to the scene where he and Beverly lock the opposing guard together in the defensive round.

……

but.

It's not over yet!
With 13 picks left, Jiang Chao made another shot.

Selected the fifth player in this draft!

With a maximum of 17 players on the roster, Jiang Chao selected five players in the first draft!
