I’m Really Playing Basketball

On June 29, 2012, BJ time, the NBA Draft was held as scheduled.

In the United States, this year's draft is very attractive, because everyone knows that this draft will officially confirm who Chen Xiao will win.

Chen Xiao's ownership is not only likely to involve many rookie deals, but also likely to affect the free market in 2012.

Even if the Warriors are in trouble now, to be honest, as long as the golden brand of Chen Xiao is there, they will definitely not worry about the attraction of the free market.

Therefore, in the United States and in the NBA, many people are really staring at this year's draft.

And here in China, of course, the same is true.

Now that the Warriors have a chance to strengthen, the best option is to select a few good players in the draft.

After all, before the draft, news came out that the Warriors were touting Monta Alice and Eric Gordon in the NBA.

Monta Alice has averaged more than 23 points per game in the past three seasons, and Eric Gordon was also a shooting guard who averaged 23 points per game before he was seriously injured last season. Even after the serious injury, he played 9 games last season. In the game, he still has the ability to score points. After returning from a serious injury, he can still average 20 points per game.

As a 24-year-old shooting guard, Eric Gordon's value is definitely not as good as it was before his serious injury, but it is still there.

Many say Monta Alice and Eric Gordon could net the Warriors two lottery picks.

In other words, the Warriors are likely to have three lottery picks in today's draft.

The No. 1 pick and two lottery picks, but I don’t know who those two lottery picks are.

In short, for the Chinese audience, Chen Xiao is now preparing to start over with the Warriors. Whether he can win the seventh championship surpassing Jordan with the Warriors has become their biggest concern. Of course, they do not want Chen Xiao to win the seventh championship with the Warriors. Xiao chose the Warriors, but since Chen Xiao chose the Warriors, they naturally supported him unconditionally.

Just like Mr. Zhang, who was trying to introduce the Golden State Warriors to the draft during the live broadcast on TV at this time.

To be honest, for Chinese fans, although the Golden State Warriors are the team of Wang Ge and Ba Ge, this team really has no appeal to Chinese fans.

This team has no record and no Chinese players. Now you can watch so many Chinese stars in the NBA, including Chen Xiao, Yao Ming, Arab League, and even Hua Zai and Xiaozhu. So, your ball The team is Chinese, even if it is a legend of Chinese basketball, it is difficult for Chinese audiences to pay attention to it.

Even the five CCTV sets last season may not have commented on more than five Warriors games in total.

You want these Chinese audiences to know how much they know about the Warriors. This is really difficult for them.

At most, these Chinese fans have recently searched some of the Warriors' roster and player data from last season on the Internet.

To be honest, these are not useless, but they are limited.

Because they don't know most of these players and don't know their strength.

If you want to talk about Yao Ming's teammates, Chen Xiao's teammates, Arab League teammates, or the league's superstars, Chinese fans may know them all, but the only player they know about the Warriors is probably Monta Alli of the Bobcats. Silk.

As for Monta Alice, I think that although most Chinese fans have good memories, they probably frown more. That style of play and that body made Chen Xiao a lot of trouble when he was with the Bobcats. Although he With Jack and Lou Williams, they can indeed attack.

In the end, the Bobcats sent away Monta Alice and Lu Wei, leaving Jarrett Jack behind. You can see why.

It is precisely for this reason that although today's live broadcast is a live broadcast of the draft, Teacher Zhang spends most of his time with the Science Warriors.

"Except for a few players in the current Golden State Warriors, the rest of the players really have little fighting ability. After Jerry West, the consultant of the Warriors, came to the Warriors, he has been building the team with the goal of welcoming Chen Xiao's arrival. Therefore, Jerry West does not sign big names or long-term contracts with the Golden State Warriors. The team maintains sufficient lineup flexibility while cultivating suitable young players.

In the past few seasons, the Golden State Warriors have trained three good young players in Monta Alice, Eric Gordon and Klay Thompson. However, other than these three young players, the team has players like Andres. Former talented players such as Biedrins and TJ Ford are no longer useful. However, although the Warriors' lineup is terrible, in addition to the team's three star players, there are also some good and distinctive characters. Players like Dorell Knight, Nate Robinson. "

Hearing Teacher Zhang say this on TV, the Chinese viewers in front of the TV became even more worried about Chen Xiao.

What Dorrell Knight, Nate Robinson, is that good enough?

To be honest, the Bobcats' role players are all Matt Barnes, David West, Cousins, Lopez, DeRozan, Curry Jr., etc. To be honest, they I really don't like these two.

One is an unknown person that I don’t know, and I know Nate Robinson, but in the past, even the Lakers didn’t want this kind of thing, because they thought it would be negative for their championship. In the past, they were definitely not worthy of appearing in Chen’s team. Xiao's team.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhang also explained why the Warriors are so bad.

The team's consultant Jerry West has been waiting for Chen Xiao and is unwilling to sign a superstar and give up the Warriors' leadership position. At the same time, he does not want to sign a star player because star players require long-term contracts and cannot be dealt with by then. , that will affect team building.

Therefore, the Warriors are a group of average short-contract players.

After all, these players are used by Jerry West to fill the poor line. As for their strength, this is really not that important.

There is indeed no problem with this idea of ​​team building. For example, now that the Warriors have acquired Chen Xiao, because of Jerry West’s strategy, in the free market on July 1st, the Warriors will have a large number of players. space to sign people.

There are indeed many good players in this year's free market, such as Tracy McGrady, Dragic, Barbosa, Billups, Nick Young, Jr. Smith, Baron Davis, Michael Reid. , Jamal Crawford, Boris Diaw, Josh Howard, etc.

Even the United Arab Emirates can jump out of the last year of his contract with the Jazz and become a free agent to sign the Bobcats.

Many Chinese fans are looking forward to the UAE jumping out of the contract with the Jazz to come to the Warriors, because the Warriors can really eat the UAE with a maximum salary now.

Of course, there are many Chinese fans who don't want this. After all, Mr. Sloan has indeed been kind to the Arab League. After so many years of training, if the Arab League really wants to leave with such freedom, I am afraid that Mr. Sloan will be very sorry.

It is the good wish of many Chinese audiences that the Warriors from the United Arab Emirates join hands with Chen Xiao.

But Chen Xiao knew that Ah Lian had no intention of breaking out of the contract at all. Ah Lian was a very grateful person. Coach Sloan treated him just like his own father, and had trained him from a 19-year-old rookie to what he is now. All-star players, he is very grateful.

Even guilty, because Coach Sloan felt that he could become a player like Malone, but in the end, he failed to meet Coach Sloan's expectations.

At the same time, in recent years, he has not been able to lead the Jazz back to glory.

In the past few seasons, the Jazz has finally improved. How could the United Arab Emirates jump ship?

Therefore, for Ah Lian, he, like Dayao, will probably spend his entire life in the same team.

Those listed above are all completely free agents. In fact, for the Bobcats, the rookies in 2008 may be more useful.

Because the maximum salary can be offered, the Warriors can recruit those outstanding rookies in 2008.

Of course, the Bobcats have Lopez and Roy Hibbert. If they are willing to stay in the Bobcats, the Warriors certainly have to dig out people. With Chen Xiao’s connections and the maximum salary, they can dig out any of these two people. No problem.

However, for the Warriors, even if they don't dig these two first, the Warriors still have a lot of people who can dig.

For example, Gallinari, Sergio Ibaka, Batum, McGee, etc.

It can be said that the Warriors, although the team is weak now, have great prospects as long as they make reasonable use of the space they have.

Therefore, after Teacher Zhang introduced the Bobcats' prospects in the free market, many Chinese viewers in front of the TV felt a lot more relaxed.

As long as they make reasonable use of their salary space and sign a group of young people with strength and potential, the prospects of Chen Xiao and the Bobcats are really not that bad.

In particular, the Warriors still have the No. 1 pick this year.

No matter who Eric Gordon and Monta Alice will exchange for, let's just talk about Anthony Davis, the quasi-number one pick with thick eyebrows. Even as far away as China, most Chinese fans have recently heard of this strange-looking super genius.

I heard he is very powerful.

As the draft was about to begin, Teacher Zhang also began to introduce the 2012 potential top pick.

"Anthony Davis is a freshman at the University of Kentucky. He is 19 years old, 2.08 meters tall and weighs 220 pounds. He was the most popular player in the NCAA last season and is very likely to be selected as a college player representative in the United States this year. The basketball team competed in the 2012 Olympic Games.

Anthony Davis has very excellent athletic ability and an incredible wingspan. His wingspan reaches 2.33 meters. "

Many Chinese viewers in front of the TV were really shocked when they heard that Anthony Davis' wingspan was as high as 2.33 meters, which is 25 centimeters higher than his height.

Teacher Zhang continued to introduce.

"In addition to having an extraordinary wingspan, Anthony Davis also has excellent agility. In the NCAA, he showed the agility of a defender. A 2.08-meter player has the agility of a defender, so Many people say that he is like Durant and Garnett.

In addition, Anthony Davis also has a very strong defensive deterrent. He averaged 14.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in college, and his shooting percentage was 62.3%, which is already terrifying. What is even more terrifying is that he also sent out the most 4.65 blocks in the United States per game. build. Therefore, many people say that he is like Duncan.

Therefore, his draft template is a combination of Garnett and Duncan, and it is a combination of Garnett and Duncan like Durant. "

Good guy, just listening to Teacher Zhang's introduction, many viewers in front of the TV felt like they had talent coming to them.

"And Anthony Davis's height grew by 25 centimeters in his senior year of high school. Before his senior year, his height was 1.83 meters. Audiences who know this height know that he must have been training as a point guard before his senior year of high school. He played basketball The first number in his career is No. 3, which is Iverson's number, so his flexibility and guard skills are very good, and his various offensive skills are also very comprehensive. He can pass the ball and make good jump shots. Therefore, he does not just pass the straight ball like an ordinary inside line. He has a good sense of organizing offense like Garnett Duncan, and he has unlimited potential on both ends of the court."

"However, like many slender young players, Anthony Davis lacks sufficient strength, both in upper and lower body strength. His waist is even thinner than Durant, which means he is not very strong. It is possible to add too much muscle, which will greatly affect his resistance ability and body's roughness tolerance."

What Teacher Zhang introduced to the Chinese audience was the evaluation of Anthony Davis from the United States. After the introduction, many Chinese fans were full of hope.

The combination of Durant, Garnett and Duncan is amazing.

In recent years, apart from Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, there are not many players that can attract the attention of the Chinese audience. Durant, Garnett, and Duncan are just three of them. This young man has completely grown up in the aesthetics of the Chinese audience. Yes.

At this moment, David Stern had read out the first envelope.

"In the 2012 NBA draft, with the first pick in the first round, the Golden State Warriors selected the big man from the University of Kentucky, Anthony Davis!"

Soon, as Anthony Davis stood up from his seat excitedly, a transaction message was suddenly played on the TV.

A five-party deal involving the Bobcats, Warriors, Pacers, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers.

The Charlotte Bobcats sent away Chen Xiao and Matt Barnes in exchange for a bunch of expiring contracts of equal value from the Bobcats, Pacers, New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers respectively. In the end, the Bobcats Two meritorious players of the team's dynasty were presented to the team as gifts.

The Bobcats sent Monta Alice, Biedrins, TJ Ford, Eric Gordon and Nate Robinson in exchange for Chen Xiao and Matt Barnes as well as players from the Pacers, Trail Blazers and New York's 2012 first-round pick.

The Pacers sent this year's No. 12 pick in the first round and an expiring small contract to welcome back local star Eric Gordon from Indianapolis.

The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Monta Ellis, sent this year's No. 11 pick in the first round to the Warriors, and then sent the expiring contract of the balancing trade to the Bobcats.

The New York Knicks acquired Nate Robinson, sent the No. 19 pick in this year's first round to the Warriors, and sent the expiring small contract of the balancing trade to the Bobcats.

And soon, the Golden State Warriors sent the 11th, 12th, and 19th picks they had just received to the Washington Wizards in exchange for this year's second pick.

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, with the second pick in the first round, the player selected by the Golden State Warriors was the guard from the University of Florida, Bradley Beal!"

This series of trades and drafts can be described as dizzying.

The Wizards' second pick with James Harden is useless to them. They don't need Bill. They choose someone else. This second pick is too wasteful.

Just when the Washington Wizards were disappointed to abandon their second pick, and were about to choose an all-around 1000-pointer named Michael Kidd-Gilchrist with a great name, Jerry West came to the door.

Jerry West, who finally got Bradley Beal, was secretly relieved.

For him, this trade is equivalent to sending Monta Ellis and Eric Gordon and Nate Robinson to the Bills.

This is definitely not a bargain. Of course, the Warriors will not suffer a loss either. They cleared out the players the team did not need, cleared up the team’s salary space, and exchanged for players who are very suitable for Chen Xiao and have great potential, and in the future For four years, Bill was still a rookie kid.

Therefore, no one took advantage of this transaction, and no one suffered a loss. Everyone got what they wanted.

And this is why many people in the league are willing to trade with Jerry West. When trading with Jerry West, they will not worry about being humiliated like a fool.

In this regard, Angie is different.

In such a short period of time, only Jerry West could find so many teams to complete transactions quietly.

Because everyone believes in Jerry West’s trading character.

If Ainge wants to trade, the Wizards will definitely first think about whether there is a very good rookie this year, and Ainge wants to take advantage of it, whether Mike Kyung is very good, and so on.

On the other side, Bill was robbed by the second pick, which made Houston Mosaic, who had the third pick, helpless. He could only pick the one who looked good and was worthy of the third pick, and who he also needed - Ji-Ji.

Because all single-year first-round picks from now to 2017 have been sent to the Bobcats, every double-year pick is now important to Mosaic.

It can be said that Mosaic has been researched for a long time for Bill.

Now being robbed by the Golden State Warriors like this really makes them uncomfortable.

It can only be said that Jerry West, a guy who worked as a consultant for the Golden State Warriors, has been very Buddhist over the years and basically has no amazing operations.

But this summer, the manager who was once the number one in the league's history once again showed his astonishing fangs.

After acquiring Chen Xiao and winning this year's No. 1 and No. 2 picks, everyone saw his ambition.

Now, facing the Warriors with such a large salary space, all teams that want to achieve success in the free market are a little worried at this time, just like Mosaic's management.

This old guy is still really scary!
