NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

"Klay Thompson???"

"I'll go...this has never been mentioned before."

The two coaching staff members were stunned after Jiang Chao mentioned this name. You must know that Jiang Chao never mentioned this name on the phone during the draft. If he wanted it at that time, wouldn't he just trade up at that time?

?

Or do you think Klay Thompson is playing now????

But they couldn't ask any more questions. Sean Marks nodded. He would just do whatever the boss said. Could Jiang Chao's choice be wrong? Asking more would be disrespectful to the boss.

"Boss, then wait for us good news on Christmas."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone." Jiang Chao took a deep breath, stood up and asked his bodyguard to prepare a car to go to the airport. "Reply 1988" is about to be filmed in Kimchi, and Park Chorong, who plays the sister, is about to leave. Jiang Chao wants to see her off, and by the way, he will play this role.

Tell her the key points of the drama.

.........

After Jiang Chao left, the three members of the team did not go back to their respective homes. Instead, they were puzzled in the cafeteria...

Sean Marks got a bottle of orange juice for the young marshal, sat down and said:

"I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it either. I never expected that the boss would say this person's name."

Later, D'Antoni brought over a plate of Chinese peanuts and frowned:

"Me too, Klay Thompson... Logically speaking, it would be better to have a point guard."

The person with the most say here is Sean Marks, who is familiar with the major lottery picks every year. The Warriors and Knicks have not met yet this season, so the two coaches don’t know much about the Warriors’ lottery pick this year, but Jiang Chao

After mentioning such a person alone, I have to have a little chat with Sean Marks.

Now, rather than Jiang Chao's decision to trade Thomas, they are more concerned about the players they want to exchange for!

After all, there is no player that Jiang Chao wants to replace without success!

Not to mention those who want to kick him away!

Sean Marks expressed some of his opinions under the expectant gazes of the two:

"The boss's ideas always make me feel exaggerated!"

His subconscious feeling was that firstly, he felt that it was impossible to change, and secondly, that it was unnecessary.

One is that the Warriors completely rebuilt themselves after replacing Nelson. Thompson, the 11th pick in this year's first round, became the Warriors directly after being selected@

In the opinion of boss Jiang Chao, is he stronger than Danny Green?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

In order to convince them, Sean Marks directly showed the scouting report that the Knicks did during the draft.

Klay Thompson: Washington Shield State University.

Klay Thompson averaged 12.5 points per game as a freshman. In his sophomore season, Klay Thompson averaged 19.6 points per game, ranking second in the Pacific 10 and becoming the third fastest player in school history to reach 1,000 points.

As a junior, he averaged 21.6 points per game and became the leading scorer in the Pacific 10. His total score of 733 points in the season set a team record, ranking third on the team's all-time scoring list. He was once again selected to the first team of the Pacific 10 in 2011.

In the Pac-10 Championship, Thompson hit 8 three-pointers and scored 43 points, setting a tournament record.

"The big reason why he can be picked 11th is because he scored 8 three-pointers this time."

Barefoot height: 197 cm

Weight: 93kg

Wingspan: 2.06 meters

Bounce in place: 67 cm

Height reached by jumping on the spot: 330 cm

Run-up bounce: 87 cm

Run-up touch height: 3.43 meters

Maximum bench press of 84 kg: 5 times

"It's true that none of them are too outstanding, but in total it seems to be okay." Mustache is well-informed. He read the data column with an expressionless face and looked directly at the analysis column below.

Perfect marks for shooting, excellent defense, but failed in one item!

Template:Danny Green.

Advantages: running without the ball, strong shooting ability, excellent height and wingspan. Stable outside shooting ability and excellent off-ball ability, plus excellent defensive frontline ability.

The following is obviously an analysis report made by Downey Jr.

Thompson's biggest advantage is his shooting ability. He is an extremely good shooter and has rich outside offensive capabilities. His mid-range shots are as stable as three-pointers, his shooting rate is very high, and his shooting posture is also a textbook standard, which helps him

It has been able to remain stable in terms of projection.

This is a young man who surprisingly does not occupy the ball. He moves very actively without the ball. After running, he can directly catch the ball and complete the shot. His movements are simple and there are no unnecessary movements.

He uses the pick-and-roll tactic very well and often uses this tactic to create his own shooting space. This is a bit like Curry of our Knicks.

Klay also has good offensive ability with the ball. He can score points with the ball in unfavorable situations. He should have the potential to become the league's top shooter.

Then there are the disadvantages:

1. The biggest disadvantage is athletic talent. He cannot jump high, cannot run fast, and moves slowly on the field. He often suffers when facing fast players. Therefore, in terms of fast breaks, his performance is average. On the contrary, positional battles will

The performance was quite outstanding.

2. Poor physical confrontation ability. When encountering defenders with excellent athletic ability and physical advantages, they often perform unsatisfactory, and their finishing ability at the basket needs to be improved.

3. Lack of organizational skills. He is often the organized party on the court. His dribbling ability is average. When someone needs to organize an offense on the court, he often performs unsatisfactorily, but his tactical execution ability is very active.

…

The biggest shortcoming mentioned in it is the unqualified one mentioned above, which is the unqualified ball control ability.

Thompson's personal scoring ability is very strong, but he has a very obvious shortcoming, that is, his poor ball control ability. He often misses the ball when dribbling in the game. Therefore, Thompson knows his shortcomings and rarely takes the ball.

Dribbling.

But these three people don't know. What only Jiang Chao knows is that this guy scored 60 points in 11 dribbles. If I tell everyone now, no one will believe it!

Thompson's scouting report during the draft still evaluated his personal ability relatively objectively. Although his personal scoring ability is very strong, his dribbling ability is not good and he cannot control the ball, so he is destined not to become the team's star.

, only by being positioned as a 3D star can he maximize his personal abilities, which also led to him being selected with the 11th overall pick. The Warriors hope that he will become a

To be the strongest 3D star in the future.

"It's not bad. Anyway, if Thomas can be replaced, we will definitely make money. There is no harm in having a tall defensive player."

After reading the draft report, the two coaches basically understood each other and left after eating and drinking.

Downey Jr.'s report was quite accurate, but the eyes of the three people in front of him definitely had limitations.

But Jiang Chao, who hugged the Long team goodbye at the airport, had more expectations than they did. He was already looking forward to Beverly Hayward, Thompson, Butler, and George's back line. Kobe James was enough to give them a drink!

With 37 points in a single game and 61 points in three quarters, he is the best 3D off-ball player in future generations. This is not just a boast, it is proven by the championship rings.

If Jiang Chao reads this draft report, he will also feel that he has done a good job, except that his defense is a little underestimated.

The doubts of the three top executives are normal. When Tang entered the NBA in 2011, the entire league's style of play was still similar to the positional style of the Lakers and Mavericks.

Who would have thought that a few years later, the Warriors, who had completed their training, would win a championship with simple shooting.

Smaller lineups became popular, and the league's style of play also began to evolve towards outside shooting.

Thompson's strengths were clearly revealed in the scouting report at this time, but his weaknesses were hidden by the team's tactics. The Warriors need him to be an off-ball player who does not occupy the ball, and his tactical execution is in place.

Tang Shen's ability to shine in the Warriors is definitely not due to luck. The combination with Curry perfectly complements each other's shortcomings and naturally becomes an indispensable piece of territory for the championship.

And Curry is already in the Knicks' lineup!

Why Jiang Chao only mentioned this one player is because the Splash Brothers are like a bond. You can hardly imagine what would happen if two historical T0-level shooters get together!!

So Jiang Chao can't help but want to see the Splash Brothers take the league by storm!

No, the Knicks now have a bunch of three-point shooters on their team, and they might become the Tsunami Brothers, integrating offense and defense!

............

One week later.

There were two storms in New York.

One is Jeremy Lin of the Nets. He performed at 178 in two consecutive games. He played very well in the second team and was named and praised by All-Star Stoudemire. He was a bit crazy about Lin. After all, this was the Knicks Development League last year.

The undrafted player was not discovered by the Knicks. After being introduced to the Nets, he flourished and became even more story-telling.

The other is that Thomas Jr. successfully moved up to the second rotation guard in the Knicks. In the most recent game, he replaced Curry in the first quarter!

In other words, Beverley fell out of favor, oh no, was dropped from the second rotation!!

And he has even produced good offensive data. In addition, he has the boss's "Sword of Shang Fang". Thomas is enjoying being in the limelight. He also preaches everywhere that I am the person protected by the boss and I will do everything.

!!

When Beverly tried to trick him into carrying his schoolbag, Thomas just threw it away. If Howard and Yao Ming hadn't acted as peacemakers, the two would have almost come to blows.

But Beverley’s response was to stay up late and train like crazy:

"Have you ever seen Manhattan at 4 a.m.?"

It instantly became a trend on Twitter... fans jokingly said that they made up for lost time on Twitter.

The atmosphere in the Knicks team is already a bit wrong. Thomas is too excited. He has the ability, but his temper is not right. It feels like no one can control it.

In other words, the Knicks players all have good tempers. The biggest star, Howard, plays by himself after playing and doesn't care about the team members. He doesn't have much leadership style on the court. Besides, Thomas Jr. plays well with him.

It's also easy, and he is not in the same position. He is even a little happy because of the recent explosion. Who doesn't want his teammates to be strong?

But people in the same position can't stand it anymore. Curry and Harden have talked to young coach D'Antoni and Coach Cole. However, the coaching staff seems to be fine. He is just like that. Don't worry about it.

The team members were dumbfounded.

Sean Marks and Jiang Chao above were nowhere to be seen, which encouraged Thomas Jr. to say that boss Jiang Chao would vigorously cultivate him this season.

This forced the players to just let it go and go home after the game. They didn't want to see Thomas showing off.

…

Another week has passed.

December 15th.

Knicks vs. Bucks away.

The Knicks released the news the day before the game that Curry would be sidelined due to an ankle injury and would take a tactical rest.

This day is bound to be remembered by Knicks fans, because with Curry not playing, coach Stevens put Thomas into the Knicks starting lineup for the first time!

First time @ starting game!

A late second-round pick who was promoted to the starting lineup not even halfway through the season??

Off the charts!!!

When Thomas got the news an hour before the game, he almost jumped to the ceiling to celebrate. It was Yao who reminded him to celebrate after the game before he stopped.

But the Bucks are also a real team.

Thomas Jr. scored 35 points, 12 assists, 3 steals, 0 rebounds and 3 turnovers with various buffs from inside and outside shots!!! @Starting the team to win!!

All of a sudden, various records were refreshed, and he was called 175 Jordans, etc.......

It directly shocked the major media.

Jiang Chao and the Knicks coaching staff were blown away. The media also officially published a headline, which was considered as acknowledgment that this is the strongest 175 on earth. Nate Robinson even posted a praising article.

Iverson, the short guard representative who has not been in the news for a long time, told reporters that he is the benchmark for short players in the future, and all young people with basketball dreams must learn from him!

Stevens, who gave Thomas 35 minutes of playing time, smiled slightly after the game, saying he had everything under control!!!

If you don't show high scores and high assists, the old foxes from other teams won't be tempted.

In the first few games, it was always ten or twenty points, which was not ruthless enough.

This game will directly reach 30!!

The next step is to rely on Sean Marks!!

And Sean Marks has actually been receiving offers from the Tank Team in the past few days, because they don't need immediate combat power for a bad team. They need a young future like Thomas Jr., so they are very eager to sell their veterans.

Even adding the first round will do.

But Thomas never responded, even though the Warriors were included.

It wasn't until today that Thomas Jr. became a god after his first game and made Curry want to call Brother Li from the hospital bed. He took the initiative to contact the general manager of the Warriors, Wright, who was also a familiar opponent 2 years ago.

Sean Marks glanced at the calendar.

Yell.

What a coincidence.

The next game is to play the Warriors away from home.

Isn’t this an on-site inspection?

Brother Chao will tell you to go away on Christmas Day and will never leave you until New Year's Day.

It's time!

Call:

"Hey, old friend, long time no see, what can I say, are you interested in little Thomas?"

Wright was stunned for a moment:

"Are you kidding? We are most interested in David Lee. Thomas is not for sale to you now, right?"

"It depends on what price you offer."

"hat????"
