Build a Dream Dynasty

On June 27th, Madison Square Garden in New York became the focus of attention of basketball fans around the world, and the NBA Draft 2016 was held here.

Jiang Mingliang came to the box early, put on a neat suit, and meticulously styled his hair. On this occasion, he was dressed more formally.

He is dressed very seriously, but his expression is very relaxed. The pressure on the Nets in the draft is not great, and a lot of preparatory work makes them completely sit on the Diaoyutai. Even if the target is cut off by someone, don't be afraid, just readjust your strategy.

"First of all, we would like to congratulate the Brooklyn Nets again for their excellent performance last season." Xiao Hua continued to talk nonsense. There was pattering applause off the court. After all, everyone's position on the Nets winning the championship is different.

"Now, the best young players in the world are gathered in this arena, and this will be the place where they can realize their dreams. We salute their long-term tenacity and hard work, and they will be the future of the league and every team." Although Xiao Hua will say these words every year, when you are here in person, looking at the immature but eager faces off the court, you will be unnaturally infected by him.

"I know the young people in the audience can't wait to enter the league and play against the best players in the world, so I won't waste any more time. The draft starts now. First, give the Sacramento Kings a little time and let them decide on their own. A first choice."

Obviously it's the Kings draft, but the Lakers fans are even more nervous than they are. They can't wait to hear other names instead of "Simmons".

It's just that no one is a fool. Even though the league market will hype up a few people to compete for the top spot, the management of each company knows who is the most talented one. It also means that the Cavaliers can choose Bennett as the No. 1 pick.

"This year's first pick, the Sacramento Kings chose Ben Simmons from Louis State University." This choice of the Kings made their fans happy, but Lakers fans and Warriors fans were disappointed.

Simmons is a good fit for the Kings? From Jiang Mingliang's point of view, it's hard to say. Embiid has accommodated Simmons a lot, but he still can't move him. Cousins ​​is not as good as the emperor in temper, and he is not versatile enough in his style of play.

Of course, Simmons can still improve the status quo of the Kings on the defensive end. Whether it is serving as a small forward or replacing Rondo as the starting point guard, it is a good choice.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers, who held the second pick, quickly made their own choice. There is no way. So far, the biggest favorites of the No. 1 pick are Simmons and Ingram. Once the No. 1 pick is confirmed, the No. 2 must be another People, the small forward position is also a position that the Lakers urgently need to strengthen, and the Lakers have no other suitable options.

The Warriors with the No. 3 pick have no shortage of wing players. They made an amazing choice at the third pick. Jamal Murray himself did not believe that he would be selected at the third pick. The Warriors' choice is to only choose the right one, not the expensive one, and it cannot be said to be a wrong operation idea.

It's just that it's hard to say what George thinks about the team's choice.

The Suns, with the fourth overall pick, amazingly chose Dragan Bender, an insider from Europe, an insider who doesn't see much potential, that is, average combat power, maybe Jokic, Porzingis, Nurkic, Mozgov and other European insiders have all played in the NBA, which has improved the market of these white bears in the NBA. The Suns made such a speechless choice.

The overall quality of this year's players is indeed relatively mediocre. Except for Simmons, the potential value of other players is indeed not very optimistic. On the contrary, the teams with low draft picks can pick up some treasures from time to time. .

However, Zhou Qi, who China fans are most concerned about, was not selected by the Celtics with the 23rd overall pick as he wished. The insider Zizic, also from Europe, became Angie's choice.

"The enemy of life, Ri Ri Qi!"

"It's not bad for Zhou Qi to join the Nets!"

"Celtic will regret it!"

However, the ruthless words of Chinese netizens did not come true. Xiao Hua opened the envelope handed over by the Nets and revealed their choice: "The Brooklyn Nets chose the 25th pick from the University of Virginia. —Malcolm Brogdon.”

The Nets are a sucker when it comes to the draft, they draft the best player they can get almost every year, and what's more, even if the Lakers report cost them two years in the draft Right, they can also discover Royce O'Neal, a rotation player who now looks qualified, from the undrafted pick. Immediately, who was this "Malcolm Brogdon", his information was immediately uploaded to the tablet in the hands of the general managers of each team.

"Malcolm Brogdon was born in Norcross, Georgia, USA on December 11, 1992. He entered the University of Virginia in 2011 and was selected to the All-American team in the 2015-16 season. In the NCAA competition last season, he averaged 34.1 minutes, 18.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists, shooting 45.7%, leading the University of Virginia to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament, elected the best defensive player of the year by the National Coaches Association, and unanimously selected as the best player in the United States lineup, becoming the first player in ACC history to win both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year."

Key words, older rookies, the pursuit of the Nets is very simple, that is, immediate combat power, and a very mature technical style. Brogdon, who performed well at the end of his college career, very much meets the needs of the Nets.

"This issac has found another treasure!" This is the wailing of many general managers after seeing Brogdon's report.

Rather than saying that this is optimistic about Brogdon, it is better to say that it is in awe of Jiang Mingliang. Believe it or not, even if Jiang Mingliang chooses Wang Zhelin, they can directly make him the second generation of Yao Ming.

Brogdon on the stage excitedly took over the Nets' cap and took pictures with Silver, looking forward to playing with the Nets.

What about Curry's backup? Think about the contracts Jeremy Lin and Reggie Jackson got, think about the opportunities Dinwiddie got this season, who would mind substituting Curry?

If Brogdon was selected as he wished, Jiang Mingliang's work will be completed for the time being. The next step is to conduct trial training for several valued undrafted picks and invite them to the roster of the Nets in the summer league.

In fact, in this draft, the undrafted picks that have truly gained a firm foothold in the league are not only Van Vleet and Daniel House, who Jiang Mingliang fancyed. Other undrafted players who have established themselves in the league include Alex Caruso, Bryn Forbes, Damion Lee, Dorian Finney-Smith and Derrick Jones Jr. Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Mingliang to bring them all under his command. If he really took them all down, he would basically just bury them. In addition to Van Vleet, Jiang Mingliang, who aims to strengthen the team's striker strength and athletic talent, focuses on the three strikers of House, Smith and Jones.

The Nets did not choose Zhou Qi. There were many voices attacking him on Huaxia's HP forum. Many people even believed that Zhou Qi did not enter the first round.

"The banana man will never die!"

Fortunately, most fans still know Jiang Mingliang's hard work in Huaxia basketball. Yi Jianlian's NBA career lasted for 13 years and returned with a championship ring. He became the second person after Sun Yue to have both NBA and CBA double championships. The ring players, He Tianju, Ding Yanyuhang all have the opportunity to come to the NBA to play in the summer league to improve themselves and so on.

Fans of the Nets and Inter Milan firmly supported Jiang Mingliang. It's nothing to say, his management of these two teams is almost perfect, no, the F1 forum can't wait for Ferrari to sell to Zhuang Zhuoyuan, let Zhuang Zhuoyuan lead the team to overthrow the Mercedes-Benz team. . . . . . .

After waiting for a long time, Zhou Qicai was selected by the Rockets with the 42nd overall pick, and the National Democratic Team once again showed their faces in China. However, along with the news of Zhou Qi's entry into the NBA, another gossip came out that Yao Mingtuo's relationship made the Rockets use a second-round pick to take Zhou Qi away. If there is no such relationship, this may not be possible.

On the contrary, Wang Zhelin, who had not received any attention before, was lying at home and sleeping soundly. He was selected by the Grizzlies with the 60th overall pick, which caught people off guard. Unlike Zhou Qi's entry into the NBA, which carries the hopes of the whole village, Wang Zhelin is sure that the CBA has more money and less work, and is close to home. He has a very clear self-awareness and has no plans to develop in the NBA at all.

After the draft was completed, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens met with Brogdon. After the initial exchange, they did not sign the contract immediately. The league has regulations that draft rookies are not allowed to transfer within 30 days after signing, and other players are not allowed to transfer within 3 months after signing. This is the reason why many rookies can't get a contract immediately after entering the league. The team will use his signing rights to make a fuss at any time.

The same is true for the Nets. Although Brogdon is in Jiang Mingliang's plan for the next four years, he is no longer on his not-for-sale list. Right now, the most important thing for him is to contact Durant and his agent through various channels, and strive to form the strongest team in history.

Almost all teams in the league have salary space this summer, and almost all teams have a very strong interest in Durant. Compared with the slightly older James, Durant, who is plug and play for any system Te is clearly more popular.

However, considering Durant's needs and the competitiveness of each team, there are not many teams that are truly attractive to Durant. First of all, of course, the Los Angeles duo, the Clippers and the Lakers.

The advantage of the Clippers is that they are the team that seems closest to the Nets. The lineup is neat, the behind-the-scenes team is excellent, the boss has amazing financial resources, and the big city of Los Angeles.

The strength of the Lakers lies in the fact that Kobe's retirement has left enough salary space for the team. If Durant joins, he will not be the only big name to join the Lakers this summer. At the same time, the Lakers have rich young resources. Russell Bill, Ingram, and Randall can be used as bargaining chips, packaged and traded for an All-Star player, and continue to increase their strength. It is not a problem to have a Big Three. The tradition of the Lakers has always been a strong team, and they have huge advantages in all aspects.

In the east, the Nets and 76ers are also in Durant's consideration. Joining the Nets means that next season's championship will be booked in advance by the Nets, and the 76ers also have enough salary space. operate. Compared with James, Harden and Durant are more suitable in terms of friendship and style of play, and Schneider is also a well-recognized good coach in the league. A good coach is too important to compete with the Nets.
