Bishop of the Devil

The night before the draft, Richard met DeRozan and Danny Green. Today, only Lafayette and they are in the draft.

"The two of you guys are ready. I will take you both tomorrow's draft." Richard said to DeRozan with a smile.

The two face up, and can join the Pirates. For a rookie player, it is a dreamy departure.

Although after the newcomer joins the Pirates, the data for the previous year or two will not be very good, but think about the five years that the Pirates have built a team, the players who have gone out are all talented, 100% talented. Rate, never missed, this is too tempting for newcomers.

Even if they are very confident in their own strength, but after entering the NBA, there is still a lot of people. They don't want to follow the mistakes of these unlucky predecessors.

The second day of the draft conference began, but Jordan did not come this time. Richard took Rahim and Lambir to participate in this draft conference.

Lambier returned to the NBA Draft for the first time in these years. It's a shame. The days when he coached the Bulls, in fact, did not bring any newcomers with high cost performance to the Bulls in the draft.

"I announced that Memphis Grizzlies chose Blake Griffin with the first pick in the first round!" Stern announced on the stage the attribution of Griffin.

Under normal circumstances, the Clippers chose Griffin in this draft with the No. 1 pick, but the Clippers' record is not high or low, so naturally they can't get a good pick.

The Grizzlies have a lot of garbage this season, but in fact their potential is pretty good.

There are players in every position, Conley, Guy and Bynum, now there is another power forward Griffin, I am afraid that the future strength will be improved a lot.

However, the Grizzlies will definitely be a fish belly next season, because Griffin is reimbursed for his rookie season and he can't play a game.

...

Next, the Kings holding the No. 2 pick chose Hashemite-Tabbit.

As the saying goes, there will be water in the top spot.

This must be said absolutely, but in most of the draft conference, this statement is still quite applicable, especially this year's draft conference.

Griffin is definitely not the strongest champion in history, more powerful than him, but this bit can be called the best, he is the most famous leader in Richard's entry into the league.

It is even possible to move Richard's entry into the league for another ten years. From 1986 to the present, Tabit is the most famous one, no one...

He can be selected in second place. In addition to the principle of general election in the draft, his excellent physical fitness is also an important reason.

He is 221 cm tall, 229 cm in wingspan, 89 cm in bounce, weighs 121 kg, and has excellent athleticism. It is much better than Yao Ming anyway.

Such a physical quality, even compared to Oden, is not much worse. (Oden’s arm span is not particularly prominent.)

However, the outstanding physical quality does not mean that Tabit can really match this physical performance.

His career is not particularly short-lived, playing for five years, but in these five years he has wandered four teams...

The best-performing season, the rookie season, averaged 3.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.

The king now chooses Tabit, it is estimated that he is also envious of his physical talents, thinking about taking a risk, if the Bo is successful, the value of a top potential center is self-evident.

"Lee, it's a pity that Tarbit, I originally thought that Griffin and Rubio would be the top two picks. Our third pick can win this Tabit, and the physical fitness is really good." Lambier sucked his mouth and said with a pity.

In this draft prediction, the No. 1 pick is undoubtedly Griffin, and with the second pick, most media are predicting that Rubio will be selected by the second pick.

"If we choose this bitcoin, we will lose all our pants, do you believe he is better than Kwame Brown?" Richard smiled and looked at Lambier.

Lambier was stunned, as good as Kwame Brown? What a joke, does this bit of water really have that water? !

However, since Richard has said so, Lambir has to believe it. He will question Richard in other ways, but he will never give rise to Richard's view except for the person. Any doubts.

"I announced that the Charlotte Buccaneers selected James Harden from Arizona State University with the third overall pick in the first round." Stern gave Richard a strange look.

He didn't expect Richard to pick a backcourt player with the third overall pick...

Has Richard always favored the center? Could it be said that Richard's original goal was Thabeet? Now that he has been cut off, can he only retreat next?

Thinking of the possibility of Richard being cut off, Stern felt a little bit cool.

Harden in the small green house, with a sullen expression on his face, did not expect Richard to choose himself with the third pick!

As a point guard, why should Richard choose himself? Do they have a top attacker like Roy?

Harden has some pains. From the current situation, his rookie season must start from the bench. Even if he is confident, he will not be arrogant enough to think that he can take the scoring king Roy's starting position.

After Harden was selected by Richard, many pirate fans immediately began to study the newcomer Harden.

Harden's draft forecast prospects are good, but in the previous forecast did not enter the top three picks.

"This Harden is actually quite strong. At least in this session of the Native American players, except for Griffin, Harden should be the strongest one. Richard's choice is definitely not wrong."

"Everyone knows that Richard will not be wrong. Are you talking nonsense? What we are talking about now is why Richard chose Harden. Where did Harden attract Richard?"

"I am a fan of Arizona State University. I have been paying attention to Harden's performance. His offensive ability is quite strong. This NCAA season just ended, with an average of 20+5+4 data per game, the shooting rate can still be maintained at 50%. Above, since 1995, only Wade and Roy have been able to do this in the NCAA. The most important thing is that his foul-making ability is quite strong, averaging 7.6 free throws per game, ranking NCAA one. Level alliance!"

NCAA fans who have a good understanding of Harden have already accurately stated Harden's NCAA career performance.

Harden has the nickname of the son of Jingdezhen. Many fans think he is a foul-making ability developed into the NBA. In fact, this is not the case. He has a strong foul-making ability in college.

The NCAA League averaged 7.6 free throws per game, which is extremely amazing...

Now that Richard has got Harden, it goes without saying that he will definitely not waste Harden's talent in this regard.

...

"I thought Richard would choose Golden Boy Rubio or Evans. Unexpectedly, he chose Harden. Isn't Harden strong?" Fans wondered.

The New York Knicks, the fourth pick, chose Tyreke Evans...

This Evans is definitely a typical example of high open and low go. The rookie season can play 20+5+5 data. There are really few people in the entire NBA history who can play similar data in the rookie season, but then gradually everyone is stunned. Although it can still be mixed in the NBA, it is difficult to make a starter. Most of the games are played as substitutes.

In the 18-19 season, Evans entered the playoffs for the second time in his career, and a 60% three-pointer contributed sufficient outside firepower for the Pacers, but because the gap between the two teams is too large, plus the Pacers. The star Oladipo was sidelined by injury, and the Pacers were swept out by Green Kai.

...

The top four picks are all out, and then the pirates have chosen.

Richard did not hesitate to write DeRozan's name on the note and handed it to the staff on site.

Stern was shocked after seeing the Pirates' choice. Did Richard take another defender? !

Hasn't this kid always had a special preference for center? Could it be that this kid is empathetic? Stern was confused.

Richard did not empathize, and the center player he loves most is...

It's just that the center is dying right now, and there are fewer and fewer reliable centers. At least in this draft, there is nothing that Richard can see.

Not to mention the kind of center that can score for a while, even if there is not a quasi-all-star center, Richard must not be interested.

Although Oden is about to leave the team, Kwame Brown has also left the team, there is only one little Jordan left at the center of the Pirates, but Richard is also indispensable.

It's no problem to put Gasol Jr. back in the center position and let him rotate on the bench at the 4th and 5th positions.

Gasol Jr. is much better than Bogut or Zaza, mainly because he has a good three-point firepower. If he pulls out a high pick-and-roll, the threat is quite large. The opponent center must also follow. Otherwise, If so, Gasol Jr.'s three-pointer can definitely teach him to be a man.

Under normal circumstances, Gasol Jr., who has just entered the league, does not actually have three-point firepower, or precisely three-point ability, but the Grizzlies' tactical system at that time did not require him to shoot three-pointers.

Later, as the black bear Randolph gradually entered the bench, the Grizzlies abandoned the original black and white double bear tactics, and Gasol began to cast a three-pointer in desperation.

Unexpectedly, the effect of this shot is quite good, at least the hit rate is higher than Cousins ​​or Nongmei and others.

Now that Gasol Jr. plays for Richard, he was naturally asked by Richard to improve his three-point firepower. At the end of the season, he has a 37% three-point shooting rate in the field. , Already belongs to a very top presence.

Such a three-point shooting rate, once pulled out for high pick-and-roll, if the opponent center does not come out to help defense, the opponent's end will definitely be quite miserable.

When the defense comes out, there is no one in the penalty area. It is also a big problem that is difficult to solve in the face of the breakthrough or empty cut of the Pirates stars.

From a certain perspective, Gasol Jr. is actually more suitable than Jordan Jr. as the starting center of the Pirates next season.

...

DeRozan in the small green house rejoiced, the coach did not lie to him, he really chose himself, the fifth overall pick in the first round, this is already a very satisfying DeRozan.

But the only thing that hurt him was that Harden was also chosen by Richard, which was very uncomfortable.

The Pirates already have a point guard Roy, and is one of the league's top point guards.

In today's league, the four quarterbacks have grown old. Kobe is still brave, but who knows how many years he can maintain this state?

Anyway, Tracy McGrady, Iverson and Carter are no longer the top point guards in the league.

After arranging Kobe Bryant, there are only two players who can qualify as the top point guard.

Wade counted one, and the remaining one was Roy.

The guarantee is also the third point guard in the league. It can be said that Roy's position on the Pirates is absolutely unshakable.

If there is only one Roy, then DeRozan plays Roy's chief substitute, he can also accept, the key is now there is a Harden, this competition is too fierce.

DeRozan is certainly no stranger to Harden. Although they haven't played in the NCAA, they must have heard of each other's name. This kind of strong competitor makes DeRozan feel a little confused.

...

In the first 30 rounds of the Pirates' turn, Richard took Danny Green and then in the second round, Richard took Matthews.

There was an uproar in the audience, who could have expected that this year's four shots by Richard were all players on the forward line.

If the draft conference didn't start, Richard told others that he would take four forward players. I'm afraid no one would believe that Richard was cheating on them again...

"Hey, judging from this situation, there may not be any decent center players this year. Otherwise, how could Richard not take the center."

"It seems that the centers that the experts said are dying, that's right."

After seeing Richard pick four consecutive defenders, many fans and experts sighed.

If Richard had very little picks in hand, they might not have this idea.

But now that Richard’s four draft picks include three grades of high, middle and low, he still hasn’t chosen a center. What does that mean?

It can only be said that there is no decent center at all except Tabit in this draft...

As for whether Tabit can be played in the future, no one knows. If he was not selected by the King in the second overall pick, and Richard did not choose him with the third overall pick, then it is estimated that Tabit could play Not coming out.

But now Tabit was selected before Richard shot, so I can't see anything for the time being.

At the end of the draft, Richard asked Rahim to schedule the four players offseason. He came to the team in mid-July and signed a rookie contract.

Although Jordan did not come to the scene, he also watched the live broadcast of the draft conference. After watching it, he was completely dumbfounded. Even if he was a partner of Richard, he did not expect that Richard would choose four forwards. Line player.

And there is one more thing that he did not expect. After Richard returned from New York, the first thing he said to him was about the Oden deal!

"What? God, Lee, are you sure you want to trade Oden?" Jordan's eyes were about to burst out.

It was no wonder that Jordan had such a big reaction because he didn't gain any inside in this draft, and now he has to send the team's Zhengyin center.

"Yes, Michael, you should know about the 2007 draft. The Trail Blazers originally wanted to choose Oden, but I ended up getting it. Now it's time to return Oden to others." Richard said with a wry smile.

"I know about this, can we be fooled? Just forget about it, I think Paul Allen should not treat you?" Jordan said entangledly.

He really doesn't want to send Oden, not just him. I'm afraid that the owner of any team in the league will not want to send Oden, even Richard.

"Fuck with Paul Allen? Man, believe it or not, he will be able to take an old trot with me and set up his company tomorrow..." Richard rolled his eyes.

Jordan smiled bitterly and asked tangled: "After that, without Oden, will we be able to defend our title this season?"

This is Jordan's most concerned issue. After Oden, the team can win the championship this season!

Now that the Pirates have won three consecutive championships, according to common sense, other teams should be desperate...

But Jordan is not an ordinary boss after all, he has created two three-time dynasties in his own player career~www.readwn.com~He is now thinking of creating a four-time dynasty, which is much better than three consecutive championships. .

In the history of the NBA, except for the eight consecutive championships of Green Kai, other dynasties have only three consecutive championships.

Including Richard's previous dynasty established in the Peak Trail Blazers, it is also only three consecutive championships...

Now Jordan wants to make a four-crown dynasty, which will be the longest consecutive record after the Green Kai eight consecutive championships.

...

Facing Jordan's question, Richard thought about it for a moment and solemnly gave his own answer.

"You can't say 100% certainty, 70% certainty, we will have 70% certainty to win the championship next season."

Jordan nodded, so that he can be accepted, Qi Cheng's grasp is already quite large.
