Chapter 327 Reconstruction Ended
"In the 2011-2012 NBA draft, the New Orleans Hornets selected Tobias Harris from the University of Tennessee with the No.18 pick!"

Stern announced the Hornets' pick for the pick on stage.

Li Ran considered for a long time and made this choice.

In fact, there are still good players to choose from, such as "half-orc" Faried, such as getting money-fearing things, such as. . .

But Li Ran still chose Harris, who had shined in that finals.

He has a comprehensive style of play, can be inside and outside, accurate three-pointers, and tough defense. He is really a rare cornerstone player of the team.

There is just one downside.

You have to practice.

Not only him, but all the players of the Hornets have to practice this year.

But it doesn't matter, what they lack most is time.

Li Ran put these young potential players together like a Gu, and asked Nash to lead them to level up. There was no performance requirement, and he only needed to realize their potential as quickly as possible.

After the 18th pick, everyone felt that the Hornets' draft reconstruction this year came to an end.

Even the Hornets selected a small man who was only 45 meters with the 1th overall pick, and not many people paid attention to it.

Although this little man named Isiah Thomas is named after the smiling assassin, no one would think that he can surpass the achievements of the leader of the bad boy army back then.

To put it bluntly, this height is really flawed. A height of 1 meters is no longer a second-class disability in the NBA, and a third-class is almost the same.

This height is doomed that he cannot make any contribution on the defensive end.

However, Li Ran knew how fierce this kid was on the offensive end.

The purpose of his selection of Thomas Jr. is to make him a super sixth man like Ke Lu and Lu Wei.

After choosing Thomas Jr., the Hornets' reconstruction is officially over.

Right now, the Hornets have:
Center: Emeo Okafor, JaVale McGee, Channing Frye.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Tobias Harris, Carl Landry.

Small forwards: Jimmy Butler, Marco Belinelli.

Shooting guards: Klay Thompson, Jarrett Jack, Willie Green.

Point guards: Steve Nash, Kyle Lowry, Isiah Thomas.

There is no need to fill this lineup anymore. Think about the starting five composed of McGee, Yi Jianlian, Butler, Clay and Nash running wildly on the field, and there are still Okafor, Harris, Belinelli, Lowry and Thomas Jr.

The picture is too beautiful.

score?

What grade do you want, give me a slap in the face!

Of course Cole knew Li Ran's plan, and he thought so too.

The old Nash can't do anything else. Leading players to stats is historical. In the Suns, how many players did Nash personally help out?

Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson, and Sean Marion all became stars in the Suns' run-and-gun system.

After the draft, Li Ran added some names to the training camp.

Butler, Harris, Thompson, Thomas Jr., and Kawhi Leonard are exactly the four players drafted by the Hornets this year plus the small card selected by the Bulls.

At Li Ran's invitation, Nash readily agreed to be an instructor in the training camp.

Of course he knew Li Ran's status in the Hornets, and he also knew that he might be teammates with Li Ran in the future.

The 37-year-old Canadian knows that he will not be able to play well in a few years, so he is willing to make friends, sell Li Ran's face, and pass on his experience to those young players.

Unknowingly, after Li Ran came to the league for three years in the draft, a large number of players have already had a deep relationship with him.

In particular, Li Ran's training camp has basically become a certification for the future stars of the league.

From the very beginning when Li Ran wanted to invite other players to the training camp, now it has become that those players are trying to get in.

What is the configuration of Li Ran's training camp this year?

Trainers: Duncan, Olajuwon, Monty Williams, Steve Kerr, Steve Nash.

Students: Li Ran, Kobe, Anthony, Rose, Curry, Pickled Pepper, Da Baibian, Chris Paul, Xiaojia, Bosh, Durant, Yao Ming, UAE, Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Kay Wen - Love, John - Wall, Blake - Griffin, Butler, Harris, Thompson, Thomas Jr., Kawhi.

Tsk tsk, Li Ran is satisfied every time he sees this list.

The present and future of the league, if you count Duncan Nash among the trainers, even the past.

Kobe and Anthony had another trip to China in late July, so after the draft, Li Ran directly announced the start of the training camp.

Moreover, this year's training camp is a little different from previous years.

This year's training camp is completely open, and the location is set in New Orleans, just at the home of the Hornets - the New Orleans Arena.

All of a sudden, fans and scouts across the United States rushed to this disfigured city devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

This is also Li Ran's reciprocation. Stern did not get stuck with Li Ran in several big deals in the past two years. In return, Li Ran was going to boost the New Orleans ball market.

These big-name players in the training camp all have their own traffic. For a while, New Orleans has become the focus of national attention during this offseason.

Not counting the trainers this year, there are a total of 24 players alone, and four training games alone can be formed, and there are also substitutes on standby off the court.

Li Ran had never fought such a rich battle, so the fans and scouts who visited were blessed.

In addition to daily training, the rest of the day is a training match with different methods.

It's just that Li Ran consciously arranged the players of the same team together, such as the three players of the Thunder, such as the players drafted by the Hornets this year, such as the players of the Grizzlies.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. While people are amazed at the high potential of these young players in the training camp, they are also wondering why Li Ran can discover so many potential new stars every year?
Is he really a genius?
You know, among these players, Li Ran personally selected Curry, Paojiao, Da Baibian, Butler, Harris, Thompson, Thomas Jr., and Kaka.

The performance of these guys in the training camp, can only say one thing.

Their talent is truly blind.

With some bad intentions, Li Ran intentionally arranged Clay and Curry together when they had nothing to do.

He wanted to see if the Splash Brothers in this time and space could still spark the sparks of the previous life.

But the only regret is that Clay has just entered the league and has never played an official game. Compared with Curry, who already has two championships, he is still a little immature.

The connection between the two on the court can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and Curry dominated most of the time.

Although to Li Ran, the performance of the Splash Brothers was not as impressive as in the previous life, but they had already blinded the eyes of the people eating melons nearby.

So the game can still be played like this?
