Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

So fucked!

Li Shengli felt that this lottery was really fucked up!

He won the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years, and the second year he got it with the ninth position in the Eastern Conference. This made the Mavericks, who had only 11 wins, and the Timberwolves, who had 19 wins, cry in the regular season last season. Laettner and Mourning, who plays for the Timberwolves, were also 'moved' to tears.

It’s just that the No. 1 pick is gone, but the No. 2 pick and No. 3 pick are also left behind.

According to the rules, after the top three picks are drawn, the following are ranked in order. The Mavericks are the No. 4 pick and the Timberwolves are the No. 5 pick.

Ranked last and second in the league, after working hard for a season, the result is like this, only to be picked off by the Magic. This has to make people doubt... This is the punishment for failure under certain unspoken rules.

Of course, the drawing of lots is the same as the lottery. If you don’t win, you can’t call others shady. After all, no one can say for sure about the probability. If you talk too much, you will be criticized. The Mavericks and Timberwolves can only suffer this bitter pill. , Fortunately... it's not without results if you mess up. At least the fourth and fifth picks are good, and there is a chance of missing out on talents. No matter how bad it is, it will be a reinforcement for two weak teams at once!

…

The draw is over.

O'Neal is really high-spirited and feels that his fortune is coming, and to be honest...this luck is indeed good. Li Shengli naturally hopes that O'Neal can make a head start in the Eastern Conference.

People still need opponents.

Although there are old centers like Big Dream and General in the future, compared with them, Li Shengli hopes that O'Neal will stand up and play against him, sing... Life is lonely like snow, and there are only a few centers in the league who can play. Both of them!

…

"It's started, it's started, Lee, just wait and see, I have a little brother!" O'Neal excitedly stood in front of the TV, and the live broadcast was showing this draft.

Although he is currently the head of the Magic, he doesn't bother to know anything about the management's movements, because it is useless to know. After all, he is not in a position to interfere with the actions of his own management.

But with the Magic’s No. 1 pick in hand, no matter how you play, you won’t lose!

"I hope you can get your wish, but if it's Weber, are you sure he is your younger brother?!" Li Shengli joked.

In the NCAA, the East Carolina Pirates played against Michigan, and before that... O'Neal also played against Webber, so he naturally knew Webber's strength.

"Nonsense, whoever comes is my younger brother!" O'Neal said firmly: "You underestimate us too much. Even if Webb is in the same draft as us, he will never be able to change the status of our two No. 1 picks and No. 2 picks, and even You may not be able to fight better than Mourning, do you believe it?"

"I can only say that if he is the No. 1 pick this time, it is because he is lucky and has avoided our 92-level super center. It would be the same no matter who he is, and no one can shake the position of the two of us."

Are you cool or not?

A prosperous era for level 92 super centers?

But think about it, this is the same thing. The top three players in the last draft were all centers, and even Laettner, who was fourth, can play at the five position. After one season, everyone's statistics can be said to be outstanding, and the 1992 draft is also a very high-quality draft, which can be called the top generation after the diamond generation of 1984.

The most famous players of the 1984 Diamond Generation are Jordan, Olajuwon, Stockton, and Barkley, all of whom are top players in their respective positions.

And 92 is different from 84. This is a generation rich in centers.

However, Li Shengli, O'Neal, Mourning and others still need some time to prove the quality of this session.

…

Waited for a while.

The protagonists of last year's draft are watching the younger blood join the league family, and Li Shengli and O'Neal are finally a little older. They no longer need to be called brat or brat. Instead, they have the ability to call others brat. Qualifications.

It's quite fun to think about this.

Going back to the draft, Chris Webber was not surprisingly won by the Orlando Magic with the No. 1 pick, while the Philadelphia 76ers got Sean Bradley with the second pick, and the Golden State Warriors got No. 3 overall pick Anfen. Nick Hardaway.

Needless to say, Chris Webber is the favorite in the draft, and his victory in one fell swoop was not unexpected.

Sean Bradley is worth mentioning, because in the eyes of Li Shengli and O'Neal... this guy is as thin as a bamboo pole, with a height of 2.29 meters, but a weight of only 235 pounds, about 107 kilograms.

What kind of resistance can there be to this damn thing? !

To be honest, although the center's tonnage is only a secondary indicator of strength, it is linked to the confrontation ability. With Sean Bradley's height and weight ratio, Li Shengli and O'Neal are confident that they can easily beat him and call him mom.

Even though his height makes it easy for him to block shots, just like the Jazz's shot-blocking mammoth Mark Eaton, who has decided to retire, Mark is 2.24 meters tall and weighs 125 kilograms, so the confrontation will not be too weak.

Although his terrifying height allows him to shoot at a terrifying height, the center without confrontation is still a little weaker. In terms of rebounding alone, getting stuck will be a big problem.

But it's still a little early to say this. No one can be sure how Sean Bradley will play, but his status as the second pick proves that... everyone is still optimistic about him.

In addition to Sean Bradley, who is 2.29 meters tall, there is another big news in this draft, that is, George Mulesan, who was taken over by the Bullets with the third pick in the second round, is 2.31 meters tall and weighs only Much heavier than Sean Bradley.

Is this a monster?

Or is this gigantism?

In any case, George Muresan is definitely the tallest player in the NBA currently, and as long as he and Sean Bradley are close to the basket, they will definitely be strong dunkers. The difficulty lies in how Get close to the basket.

However, NBA tactics are changeable, and the immediate combat effectiveness of the two behemoths is not as great as imagined. After all, while gaining vertical advantages, their horizontal mobility will be much worse.

Although they will have relatively more natural advantages than other players, as long as the pace of the game accelerates, that advantage will immediately turn into a disadvantage. The speed of returning to defense can definitely drag your team to death. After all, a fast break is four on five. No one can stand it.

A lesson learned is that Manute Bol, who plays for the 76ers and is also 2.31 meters tall, averages 23 minutes per game and averages 2.2 points + 3.3 rebounds + 2.1 blocks per game.

Who knows if the 76ers are thinking about shit? !

With the second pick, I picked up Shawn Bradley. Although he is expected to be much easier to use than Bol, the problem of offensive and defensive rotation speed cannot be avoided.

…

As for Anfernee Hardaway, the third overall pick in this class, he is a good prospect who can shoot suddenly. On the night of the draft, the Magic management announced that they had reached a deal with the Golden State Warriors, using their No. 1 pick. Sign and exchange the third overall pick in the Warriors' hands plus three future draft picks.

Chris Webber and Anfernee Hardaway swap? !

Anfernee Hardaway joined the Magic. Looking at his previous performance in the NCAA, he led the team to the NCAA quarterfinals, averaging 22.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game. It can be said that all-round data ...The Magic made a small profit from this transaction. After all, the Warriors' additions were three future draft picks.

On the other hand, considering that the Magic has O'Neal on the inside and teaming up with Chris Webber, it still cannot break through the constraints of weakness on the outside. It is far less suitable than Hardaway, who is swinging at the front and guard and can shoot suddenly.

Anfernee Hardaway? !

This guy can do it, I like him!

O'Neal was filled with joy and finally won the first helper in his career!
