Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 323: 2010 draft, lively free market, decision 1!

After the Lakers won the championship, Dunn did not stop advocating for Kobe.

When Kobe's fans noticed what Duan did, they directly regarded Duan's remarks as an edict, thereby further enhancing Kobe's strength and historical status.

In order to allow Kobe to secure his position as the league's ruler, some fans even criticized him, saying that Kobe had surpassed Duane.

The reason is exactly what Duan said personally: Kobe has stronger leadership.

Of course, this year's playoff record is also the evidence they say-the Lakers defeated the Magic, and the Magic defeated the Bulls.

This is equivalent to Kobe being better than Howard and better than Duane.

In order to confirm this, there are many comments on the Internet that Dunn relies on Garnett to win the championship and Garnett can defeat the Lakers.

After Doon fans learned about this, they naturally couldn't agree.

It means that in the three consecutive games that Kobe lost to Doane, Garnett only won two championship rings. Long before Garnett arrived, Doane had already defeated Kobe and became the championship.

I have to say that Doon’s honor of winning four consecutive championships is too hard!

Moreover, Kobe was too paranoid and too strong. He competed for the championship every year, reached the finals every year, and gave up three times to Doon.

Under such circumstances, if Kobe wants to reverse the criticism, he needs to win at least two more championships, or defeat Duan once or twice in the finals.

For Duen, as long as he doesn't meet Kobe in the finals, he can at least be invincible.

Of course, Du En is not such a coward. He will not decide not to go after studying his opponents in the finals.

Duan was also quite satisfied with the Bulls' results last season. The Bulls' rebuilding period is about to end. As long as the rookies in the team grow up, Duan will definitely do his best to compete for the championship and try to return to the finals stage.

However, for the coming season, the Bulls' goal is still to train rookies.

If Duan has the ability to lead the team to the finals, the Bulls management will not be unhappy. In short, where the Bulls can go next season depends entirely on Duan's performance.

Time soon came to June 6, and Duan came to Madison Square Garden again to attend this year's draft.

It's also because last summer, the Bulls traded away Garnett and Luol Deng, the team's most valuable players besides Duane, and obtained four first-round picks and three second-round picks at once.

This year, in addition to their own first-round pick No. 24, the Bulls also have two first-round picks No. 9 and No. 17.

In fact, the Bulls will have an additional first-round pick and two second-round picks next year, that is, there will be two first-round picks and three second-round picks in the 2011 draft.

Considering that Ben Gordon and Josh Smith will also be traded, the Bulls will definitely have no shortage of draft picks in the next few years.

This also means that in the next two seasons, most of the Bulls' players will be rookies. After the Bulls' championship window opens, they will have two or three years of rookie bonuses to enjoy.

By this summer, the Bulls have officially gotten rid of the luxury tax and will have no luxury tax pressure next season.

If they perform well this coming season, it's not impossible for the Bulls to bring in players worth tens of millions of dollars in the middle of the season.

However, when the Bulls can complete their reconstruction depends on the results of this year's draft.

In order to rebuild, the Bulls have dismantled and sold out the forward group that they were proud of before winning the championship.

Last year, the Bulls focused on selecting and training guards, so the focus of the next draft will naturally be on the forwards.

The draft officially began soon, and Wall deservedly became this year's No. 1 pick.

It has to be said that a healthy Wall is really strong. As a freshman, he led the team to win the NCAA championship and basically won all the major NCAA awards.

Because last year was recognized as a weak year for the draft, the quality of the draft was too poor.

This year, a large number of outstanding first-year players have emerged in the NCAA, especially post players. Therefore, under the background of last year, this year has been created by the media as a big year for the draft.

If you just look at the NCAA's performance, this year is indeed a big year for insiders.

Georgia Tech's Derrick Favors, Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins, Georgetown's Greg Monroe, Baylor's Alpe Udoh, Kansas' Cole Aldridge and North Carolina's Ed Davis performed well in college.

Judging from the overall registration situation, 84 people signed up for the draft this year, which is less than the more than 57 people in previous years. However, the number of power forwards and centers combined is , which is the highest in history.

With the competition inside proving fierce, Wall's ability to become the obvious choice for the No. 1 pick shows his talent and strength.

However, Wall has never been able to practice his shooting. Just a breakthrough is just Iverson's second.

However, he is still less talented than Iverson, at least not as durable as Iverson, so injuries are inevitable.

Having said that, after Wall, the draft has returned to the rhythm of the general election.

Inside players such as Favors, Cousins, Udo, and Monroe were selected one after another, and the draft pick soon reached the Bulls' ninth pick in the first round.

"With the ninth pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA Draft, the Chicago Bulls selected Paul George from California State University, Fresno!"

Yes, the Bulls intercepted George.

What Duan likes most is a forward player like George who is talented, can defend, has no temper, and is willing to attack others.

The 2010 draft was a year that the media misjudged. In the era of declining centers, the post players in this draft were forced to enter a transition period because they were in the small ball era. They failed to keep up with the rhythm of the game, and they collapsed collectively.

And No. 1 picks like Wall were affected by injuries and failed to fully perform.

This leads to the fact that if the 10 draft is rearranged, George will become the number one pick after the rearrangement.

Being able to use the ninth pick in the first round to win a No. 1 pick would be a huge profit for the Bulls.

For this reason, Duan walked out of the draft office for the first time tonight and came to the stands to express his importance to George.

George, who was still shaking hands with Stern on the stage, obviously noticed the movement in the stands and noticed that Du En was looking at him and applauding him.

"So Duen came here for me?!" George couldn't help grinning.

However, Duane quickly disappeared from the stands and did not reappear until the Bulls selected Avery Bradley and Hassan Whiteside.

The Bulls had limited draft picks, failed to acquire Hayward, and had no chance to try to cultivate Favors and Cousins, so they could only choose blue-collar players like Bradley and Whiteside.

Although the Bulls have no shortage of guards, Bradley's role is defense and can help Curry and Harden defend small guards.

With Bradley, even if Evans is injured, Duan does not have to guard the small guard himself.

As for Bai Bian, although he likes to block shots, his physical fitness is indeed good.

Anyway, the draft pick at the end of the first round is not valuable. If you sign White Edge with millions for four years, you will definitely make some money by letting White Edge eat the cake and protect the frame.

If Whiteside can get rid of his bad defensive habits and develop Whiteside into an outstanding blue-collar player, then the pressure on both offense and defense on the Bulls' forward group will be reduced a lot. Overall, the Bulls gained quite a lot from this draft.

However, if you want to re-establish and improve the forward group, you still need to run one or two more drafts.

Time came to July in the blink of an eye. Just like last year, the Bulls took the initiative to sell Ben Gordon and Josh Smith, and asked for expiring contracts and draft picks.

This made other team managements across the league breathe a sigh of relief, especially the Lakers management.

Last season, Duan led the rebuilt team to the Eastern Conference finals, which actually surprised many people.

If a team wants to win the championship, it must set its goals in advance.

Otherwise, even if you enter the finals with the help of a whistle, you may be shaved off by your opponent.

The Bulls reached the Eastern Conference finals without establishing a championship goal, which is enough to prove Duan's personal strength and team leadership ability.

To a certain extent, the Bulls have the conditions to compete for the championship next season.

It is also the Bulls who are still cleaning up the redundant stars in the team and continue to show their attitude of rebuilding and cultivating rookies.

Other teams that are not yet qualified to compete for the championship need to look at the Bulls' expressions before they can firmly believe in competing for the championship.

Perhaps they are also worried that after the Bulls complete their reconstruction in a few years, other teams will be dominated by the Bulls again in the next few years and have no hope of winning the championship, so this summer's free market suddenly became lively.

Anthony, who was not willing to waste his time in New York, took the lead in recruiting Stoudemire.

The Suns really couldn't keep Stoudemire, so they could only agree to Stoudemire and obtain some draft picks through a sign-and-trade.

As a result, Stoudemire successfully joined the Knicks and joined forces with Anthony.

When other Eastern Conference teams saw that the Knicks were making such big moves, they were naturally not willing to lag behind.

On July 7, Wade and Bosh jointly announced to the media that they would work together to play for the Miami Heat in the future!

Anyway, Anthony and Stoudemire have joined forces, so it's not surprising that Wade and Bosh will play brother basketball again.

However, what was unexpected was that the next night, James accepted an interview with ESPN and said that he had to make a major decision.

Many melon-eaters were attracted by this news, and then heard with their own ears what James said about bringing his talents to the south coast and playing for the Heat next season.

By this time, Bosh, who had arrived in Miami and had been out on the waves with Wade for several days, was now living in Wade's manor and watching TV. He was also frightened.

"Dwyane, didn't you say the team has no room? Why did you contact LeBron privately? Is this the surprise you prepared?"

Bosh was a little unbelievable at first, but then he thought, James is the MVP for the second consecutive time. If the Heat has such a star, it will definitely help to win the championship.

However, Wade's expression was not right at this time.

"I didn't contact him, I didn't hear that LeBron was coming to Miami, why didn't I know anything?

No, I've confirmed it before, the team has no space!

Have you forgotten? Only if you reduce your salary with me can we join forces.

But this is strange, why would LeBron announce on TV that he is coming to Miami?

Brother, something big happened, please wait for me to make a call..."

The ignorant Wade quickly called and asked for the truth.

However, many team management also said they were not clear about this. In the end, Riley personally explained to Wade that he could get James at a very low cost through a sign-and-trade method.

From the perspective of team operations, James is willing to come to the Heat by getting on the bus first and then paying for it, so Riley has no reason to refuse.

Just like the 73-win Warriors will not refuse Durant.

Now that James has expressed his attitude towards joining the Heat, there are only two options for the Cavaliers.

Either meet James' needs, sign before trading, and get some compensation from the Heat.

Or completely break up with James, reveal the inside story of James joining the Heat, and make James completely turn into a clown.

Then he watched James sign and trade with other teams before joining the Heat.

It is a cruel decision to announce the decision to bring talent to the South Coast in the media.

As a businessman, the Cavaliers owner knew that James would no doubt be forced to leave, so he could only break his teeth and swallow blood to minimize losses.

The Heat spent a second consecutive regular season MVP in vain. Based on the original plan of Wade and Bosh, they formed the Big Three in 03. The paper strength next season will be unprecedentedly strong.

However, Wade, who watched "Inside the NBA" some time ago and heard about the importance of leadership from Duan, has realized that something is wrong.

"Although I have won the championship and finals MVP, LeBron is a two-time regular season MVP!"

For some reasons, James' personal honor is basically the same as Duan.

Rookie of the Year, All-Star MVP, regular season MVP, scoring champion, and All-NBA and All-Defensive teams.

What James lacks from Duan is FMVP and championship.

Wade does not lack FMVP and championships, but he is relatively lacking in personal honors and is indeed not good at leading big-name stars like James.

In addition, Wade has also seen James' performance in the playoffs and the World Series over the years.

As early as when he and Duane shared the Rookie of the Year award, Wade began to have some resentment towards James. Now that he learned that James was coming, Wade was naturally not so happy.

However, the deal was done. After James made his decision, Wade was just a pawn in the chess game.

Wade knows very well that Riley and other management have slowly begun to lose trust in him after failing to continue to bring championships to the Miami Heat over the years.

Things like James bringing his talents to the South Coast, even if it is not a decision made by James himself, will eventually appear in another star under the operation of the Heat management.

"It's really interesting. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."

Duan is not involved and is not too interested in what decision James makes this summer.

Afterwards, I learned about the Heat's formation of the Big Three from the Bulls management.

At the same time, Du En also heard that Cavaliers fans were burning jerseys, burning sneakers, and burning things that made them feel dirty... (End of Chapter)
