NBA: Starting CBA system

That is Giannis Antetokounmpo who was selected with the 15th pick in the previous life! ! !

Giannis Antetokounmpo entered the NBA through the draft in 2013 and was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team in his rookie season.

In the 2016-17 season, he was selected as the Most Improved Player, the All-NBA Second Team and the All-Defensive Second Team;

In the 2017-18 season, he won the Slam Dunk Award; In the 2018-19 season, he won the NBA Regular Season MVP;

In the 2019-20 season, he was selected as the NBA Best Defensive Player and Regular Season MVP;

In the 2020-21 season, he was selected as the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team and won the NBA Championship and Finals MVP;

In the 2021-22 season, he was selected as the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive First Team;

In the 2022-23 season, he was selected as the All-NBA First Team; In the 2023-24 season, he was selected as the All-NBA First Team;

Selected to the NBA All-Star Team 8 times, and was elected NBA All-Star MVP once; In October 2021, he was selected as one of the NBA 75 Greatest Stars.

Antetokounmpo is definitely the first among the rookies in this year after the re-ranking! ! !

It is even more exaggerated to be able to select him than to select Leonard the year before!

Therefore, when RC Buford sent over the scout report, Jiang Hao looked at Antetokounmpo's.

Sure enough, the Spurs didn't expect him to be so outstanding later. It was written that he didn't start playing basketball until 2008. Before that, he played football. He initially played as a point guard and trained his ball-handling skills an hour before daily training.

As he grew taller, he also played forward.

In 2012, Giannis Antetokounmpo played for the Greek League B team Fila Lidix, and then signed a four-year contract with the Zaragoza 2002 team of the Spanish Basketball League.

In the 2012-13 season, Giannis Antetokounmpo played in 26 games, averaging 22.5 minutes per game, scoring 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 0.7 steals. His shooting percentage was 46.4%, his three-point shooting percentage was 31.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 72.0%. He was selected for the Greek All-Star Game and scored 8 points.

And why he predicted a first-round pick this year is because his physical talent is still top.

He is only 19 years old and has great potential. He is 2.11 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.24 meters, and his jumping ability is the top 5 among this year's rookies.

The Spurs also found that because he was born as a shooting guard, his mastery of basketball is far superior to that of ordinary big players, which was reflected in the tryout.

His disadvantages are that he is thin as a forward, not good at confrontation, and only learned basketball in 2008. His basketball IQ is not good, and he has no shooting ability at all.

I will stop here.

Obviously, the Spurs are not very interested in Antetokounmpo. Scout Paul Hanke wants to choose Parker's fellow countryman Rudy Gobert at the 30th pick this season.

Jiang Hao also heard about this in his previous life, but it was snatched by the Nuggets in the end. I heard that it was leaked.

Otherwise, Gobert would definitely belong to the Spurs. Now think about it, if the Spurs really get a long inside player like Gobert, who is the best defensive player this year, it will be easier to play against LeBron next year.

Duncan may not retire so early, because the Spurs really lack a young meat shield to play the five position, and Gobert will be very happy once he comes.

But compared to Gobert, Antetokounmpo is the best.

Gobert is far inferior to the current center Split in terms of hand skills, and his offense is completely free. It will take at least several years for him to understand defense.

But Antetokounmpo is different. He led the team to win the championship and is the absolute core. He is not comparable to role players like Gobert.

So Jiang Hao said to RC Buford:

"This player with more letters seems to be more powerful."

RC Buford understood the meaning instantly.

And he did what Jiang Hao meant.

Use Wusheng + No. 30 to trade up to the 15th pick belonging to the Bucks, and get the 15th pick like in 2011, and both are forwards. Interesting! ! ! !

The Bucks are so happy because there are not many players to choose from in this year's draft. They really don't know what to choose at the 15th pick. They can only choose a 19- or 20-year-old potential stock to train.

The Spurs are giving a big gift, no matter who they will choose.

It would be interesting to trade Jackson, the martial arts master.

In a draft year with a small forward, the 15th pick is a qualified starting small forward?

You know, the martial arts master may be replaced by Jiang Hao in the Spurs, but he is a starter in other teams, and everyone knows that the martial arts master has not been injured in the two years since he returned to the Spurs. In addition, he has not played much, is well-trained, and has a good personality. He can definitely lead the Bucks.

Every team must have such a locker room leader and a tough guy on the court, so that the rookies will feel protected when playing.

So the Bucks management quickly facilitated the deal.

And they chose the talented monster Antetokounmpo from Greece for the Spurs at the draft.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The draft was originally peaceful and quiet, but suddenly such a deal came out, and everyone was really shocked.

Only Jiang Hao, who was still attacking Chen Duoling in the villa, suddenly added an attack speed buff, and he attacked wildly! !

This is so cool!

The Spurs directly upgraded a power forward! ! !

He was the most excited after it was confirmed that Antetokounmpo would come to the Spurs next season.

The management of other teams, especially the Western Conference teams, were gloating.

"The Spurs dismantled the team themselves?"

"It's comfortable. Without the martial arts master, the Spurs don't have anyone to do the dirty work."

A player who did not want to be named told the media:

"When I played against the Spurs, I was afraid that Jackson's moves were too ruthless. Now that he's gone, we can be a little ruthless against the Spurs."

"Me too. Mills and Jackson, these ruthless guys, were traded away by the Spurs one by one. Who else can stand up for the Spurs?"

"It's not necessary. They just crushed us with their strength." An unnamed management said that the Spurs just lost a role player who didn't play much.

None of the main players left.

But the fans collapsed.

One reason for the collapse is that after Jackson left, the Spurs' villain was gone. You know, Jackson is the next villain of the Spurs after Bowen. He must be the first to step up when something happens.

And after he left, will Manu play?

Or Dio?

Of course, it doesn't matter. As the league rules become more and more stringent, such a grand occasion as the full-scale martial arts will never be seen again.

But the main thing is what did the Spurs pick with the 15th pick!

What kind of eccentric guy? ? ?

This guy with a lot of Antetokounmpo only played in the Greek league?

He never even got into the NCAA!

And because he came from a poor family, he had no experience in American basketball. He only started playing basketball in 2008, and before that he was a ball boy and played football.

In other words, he was a complete amateur.

He was much more amateur than Jiang Hao, who was born in the CBA youth training.

The only thing he might be better about is his height and arm length? ?

But Zhou Qi also has these advantages!

It's just that Zhou Qi was only selected by the Rockets in the second round, and this Antetokounmpo was actually the 15th pick.

Is there really no one to choose?

You know, Leonard was also the 15th pick the year before last, but the gold content was completely different. What kind of draft level was that the year before last?

That was the level at which Jiang Hao could only be undrafted! ! !

But after the selection, the Spurs fans can only hope that the Spurs will turn waste into treasure. After all, Leonard was also criticized at that time, but now he has played well.

Although Antetokounmpo has no NCAA experience compared to Leonard, he is young and can still be polished as a rough diamond.

Antetokounmpo himself cried bitterly at the draft.

He really cried bitterly.

His whole family and everyone were counting on him to be selected this time.

He was definitely selected because this year's forwards were not very good, he had long arms, and he was hardworking, so many teams were interested in him.

But he didn't expect the Spurs to trade for the 15th pick for him, and he joined the Spurs, who are the best at cultivating talents? ? ?

So cool! ! !

Antetokounmpo shouted to Jiang Hao:

"Master Jiang, I will win this city for you next season!!! Let's build a dynasty together!!! I love you!!!"

Chapter 277: 2014 season, the strongest year in the history of the Spurs!

"This kid knows how to do it. Hold on tight."

The other rookies looked at him with envy and jealousy. Oladipo felt that he was boring as the second pick. Who wouldn't want to play with Jiang Hao?

Jiang Hao also responded to Antetokounmpo's high-profile shouting at the draft on social media:

"You don't even have a clue, but you still want to win this game for me. Come to the team and report quickly."

Simmons commented: "Although I was at the end of the second round last year, I was treated the best. Teacher Jiang called me personally to inform me!!!"
