NBA: The strongest physical talent, the inside is king

June 29, New York, Madison Square Garden.

The 2005-2006 draft is about to begin!

When Bernie Bickerstaff and Petty Tom walked into the arena together, they still attracted a lot of attention!

Last season, they both selected Wang Ke here!

After a season, Wang Ke proved that they both made the most correct choice!

No doubt about it!

Bernie Bickerstaff & Petty Tom: I said it was the boss who chose it, do you believe it?

Many team general managers took the opportunity to come over and exchanged a few words with Petty Tom.

But at the end, they would mention whether Wang Ke should be traded!

The general manager of each team is willing to let the Bobcats choose the lineup, as long as they can get Wang Ke!

"Only idiots would trade Wang!"

Petty Tom smiled faintly.

Petty Tom naturally refused such extremely unreasonable inquiries from other teams!

What a joke!

With Wang Ke's growth rate, he may become the No. 1 player in the league next season!

This is not an exaggeration!

Since last season, O'Neal has officially given up the position of the No. 1 player in the league!

As for who the new No. 1 player in the league is, the media and fans have not yet reached a conclusion!

Because no player can convince everyone!

The league has entered the stage of [competition among the heroes]!

In the new season, Wang Ke naturally has hope!

After a while, Carlisle Colin, the general manager of the Pistons, also walked in!

Petty Tom and Carlisle Colin looked at each other and exchanged glances!

Carlisle Colin nodded!

Petty Tom was ecstatic!

The deal about Ben is going to be done!

The two had discussed some of the details of the deal before!

But Carlisle Colin had not made a final decision at that time!

After a deep talk with Ben that day, Carlisle Colin decided to fulfill Ben and break up peacefully!

If the situation gets too tense, Ben will leave as a free agent after the end of next season!

Then the Pistons will get nothing!

It is better to let Ben play his last bit of energy and trade for some chips for the Pistons!

The teams that are really interested in Ben include the Cavaliers, the Bulls and the Spurs!

But the chips they can offer are not as good as the Bobcats!

And the team Ben wants to go to the most is also the Bobcats!

What else is there to say?

…

"The draft begins!"

Stern walked onto the stage and started the annual draft!

"The Bucks, with the first pick, chose the center, Andrew! Bogut!"

Wang Ke did not go to the scene, but watched the live broadcast of the draft on the TV screen!

At present, each team will still choose the center as the cornerstone of the team!

So Bogut became the No. 1 pick as he remembered in his previous life, which did not surprise Wang Ke!

Wang Ke's existence, in a sense, allows the league's center tradition to continue!

The top three rookies last season all performed well, and they were all centers!

Wang Ke, Howard and Okafor!

This obviously makes the teams' ideas about team building not change much!

It is not so easy for the league officials to lead the game style from inside to outside!

It takes several seasons to proceed slowly!

And if there are always high-quality players in the center position, the overall style of the league will not change!

Because building a team with the heart as the core of offense and defense will inevitably not play a small ball style!

This is certain!

"The transaction happened!"

On the TV screen, Stern paused when he was about to read the Bobcats' choice for the 23rd pick!

"The Bobcats sent Gerald Wallace + Primoz Brezek + Jason Capolo + Brevin Knight + 23rd overall pick + 06-07 first-round pick + 07-08 first-round pick, and got Ben Wallace + 29th overall pick from the Pistons!"

Stern's voice continued to ring!

"Done!"

Wang Ke waved his arms in front of the TV screen!

But then a different emotion arose in his heart!

The teammates who fought side by side last season are finally going to separate!

And there was an uproar in Madison Square Garden!

Did the Pistons really dismantle the team? !

Including the draft picks, this is a 7-for-2 deal!

The Bobcats sent all the starters except Wang Ke, and two draft picks for the next season!

This is a big gamble!

If the bet fails, the Bobcats will have to spend a lot of money in the next two seasons., and it is impossible to strengthen through the draft!

Such a deal is really unexpected by everyone!

Many people subconsciously feel that the Bobcats paid too much!

But if you think about it carefully, Ben's title as a champion center is not false, and the Bobcats do not have too many chips to match it directly!

If the quality is not enough, you can only make up for it with quantity!

In this era, there are still few teams that send a large number of future draft picks!

Unlike the small ball era in the previous life, future draft picks are sent out like they are free!

…

"At the 29th pick, the Bobcats chose forward, David! Lee!"

…

"At the 56th pick, the Bobcats chose forward, Marcin! Gortat!"

As Stern read out Marcin Gortat's name, the Bobcats also completed their harvest at this draft!

Successfully ended!

David Lee and Marcin Gortat are both candidates recommended by Wang Ke!

As the saying goes, do the whole show!

Since we have decided to adopt Wang Ke's [Veteran Plan], we should follow Wang Ke's advice completely!

Now the first and most important step is to trade for Ben, which is a success!

Next, it comes to recruiting those veteran superstars who are about to retire!

The Bobcats next season will be very different!
