NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 77: North Carolina captain, the strongest 3D, is this the CBA draft scene?

From Beverley to Zhang Jike (who is strong with his hands and inherits Kobe Bryant), they are all strong players who can defend point guards like Curry.

In addition, Harden is also regarded as Curry's lifelong enemy in the same class, and it seems that Curry's future opponents will be recruited by Jiang Chao.

But he was already looking forward to seeing Mengku being ravaged wildly during the team training match.

Sean Marks: "This rookie's reputation is greater than his strength. Both Carter and Jordan went to watch his game, but his performance was really not impressive enough."

D'Antoni spoke to Jiang Chao: "But playing in the Development League is enough. It can sell more Development League tickets. You are the captain of North Carolina."

In fact, Mr. Pu and RC also have the same idea.

North Carolina is the captain of the New York team. Jiang Chao probably chose him as a gimmick.

Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously:

"No, no, no, I need him to be a 3D player in our lineup."

"3d?"

"Three-pointers and defense, this kind of player will be very popular in the development trend of basketball."

"Indeed, there are more and more defenders now, and there are very few defensive types."

Sean Marks can only reluctantly believe that it would be better if you didn't pick Beverley first. If you pick Beverley and then pick a defensive back, four guards... It is difficult to convince them that all four of them can play in the NBA.

Ball.

Jiang Chao didn't say much. In the future small ball era, 3-point and anti-mobile lineups will become the top priority.

The reason why Ariza can play for so long is because of his 3D attributes.

There are also the later 3D king Thompson, who is even worse at dribbling, Covington, and Bridges in the Suns in 2022...

Of course, the person he chose to carry forward the concept of 3D may be Danny Green.

In the seasons when the Spurs won the championship, his role in the Spurs was simply to prevent the opponent's top players from ambushing for 3 points, and he didn't need to do any other work!

However, the response at the scene was good, and everyone was speculating on Jiang Chao's intentions.

Netizens complained: "It's not that the Cavaliers want to sell, but they gave too much. This is equivalent to giving 2.33 million in cash directly in exchange for a player who may be of no use."

"Danny Green is too old. He can't even practice dribbling anymore. I think he can't even basically dribble from behind."

"Yes, I am a North Carolina fan, and I have never seen him have bad luck. He may make many mistakes under NBA-level pressure."

The fake fans are already stunned:

"What does this boss mean? To strike hard in the draft? Not to do anything in the free market?"

Spike Lee took a sip of beer:

"The salaries of these rookies are not high. They are probably trying to squeeze out space by signing big names?"

Daddario didn't understand and asked: "Do we have any big names willing to come?"

"It depends on the team's performance this season. If it performs well, big names will be willing to move in."

Everyone knows that the contracts of big names such as Little Emperor, Melo and Warcraft expire next year, and many teams are clearing space.

Commentator Van Gundy Jr.: "Four guards, just enough to make up a table."

"Haha, he is the protagonist tonight."

"Originally, everyone's attention was on Griffin, but today boss Jiang Chao let everyone see his various trading methods."

Sports Illustrated official website: "The Knicks take action again, the North Carolina captain is elected!"

I have to say that Danny Green has quite a few fans. After Jiang Chao chose him, a bunch of UNC alumni praised and thanked Jiang Chao.

Upstairs, the Knicks management is a little autistic. This second-round pick is not enough, and the boss actually lost another one?

Although the money comes from the boss, in their opinion, wouldn't it be nice to give them a salary increase for a 23-year-old rookie?

Very wealthy.

"So fierce." Even though Liu Yan didn't understand, she felt that Jiang Chao was very strong, which brought the originally peaceful draft show to climax.

Soon Sean Marks received a video call from Danny Green's CAA company agent.

Both people in the video had tears in their eyes, and the handsome Caucasian guy with a buzzcut even choked up his thanks to the general manager and boss.

"I am a swingman at forward and I can improve the team's perimeter defense!"

"Please give me a chance, I can do anything you want me to do, rebound, defend or pass towels and water! Whatever you need me to do, I am willing to do it!"

This passage seems familiar, as if it was said to Popovich.

Jiang Chao knew that he had the same tortuous experience as Brother Gou in his previous life, but he would not comfort Green like he did Brother Gou.

Because Danny Green is richer than Brother Dog, he cannot be allowed to relax:

"It depends on your performance. Come to the summer camp early."

"Okay! I will give everything for the Knicks!"

Danny Green has been suffering since the first round. He tried out with all the teams, and his performance in the trials was so bad that he fell out of the first-round prediction early.

So when he reached the 46th pick, his mentality had collapsed. At the last moment, the Knicks actually bought the pick and selected him. This was undoubtedly his last straw.

At first, he couldn't even believe it. Is this okay? Can I go to New York?

And he also knows that if a second-round pick wants to truly enter the NBA, he must be given a contract, and the G League contract-free approach is something he doesn't want.

Green's agent also burst into tears of gratitude: "I will supervise his playing and let him prove it to the other 29 teams."

Sean Marks: "Take advantage of the opportunity. The boss gave you the opportunity."

Jiang Chao signaled to hang up the video.

Danny Green's career was rough in the early stages, but his success was closely related to his personal efforts. He also likes a person who has high demands on himself.

In his previous life, he only played 20 games in the season after being selected by the Cavaliers, averaging 5 points per game and unable to practice much at all.

Even after joining the Spurs, he was actually waived within a week.

But he had the courage to do the boldest thing in his career, which was to call Popovich and say what he said to Jiang Chao above, saying that he would give me a small contract and I would give him

Spurs are willing to be either cows or horses.

The Spurs management was moved and gave him a contract.

After that, everyone knew that a champion shooter could win anywhere, a 3-time crown shooter, the best defensive second team, a 3D benchmark...

Now that he is in New York, Jiang Chao hopes that he will be equally inspirational.

This is the perfect place for a player like this to make a splash.

…

"Mr. D'Antoni, remember to tell the young coach that Danny Green only needs to practice three-pointers and defense, and there is no need to learn anything else."

"Okay." D'Antoni, a part-time coaching consultant, nodded.

Jiang Chao already has ways to use Danny Green in his mind. He can smoke in the corners on the offensive end, lock the opponent's arrows on the defensive end, and even chase down the boards. He will definitely be able to develop him into an excellent role player.

Looking forward to the scene where he and Beverley lock the opponent's defender together in the defensive round.

…

but.

It's not over yet!

With 13 picks left, Jiang Chao took action again.

Selected the fifth player in this draft!

With a maximum roster of 17 people, Jiang Chao selected five people in the first draft!
