The rest is just noise

Chapter 1512 I like long shots

Caron Butler, one of the few All-Stars in the 2002 draft, went to the Chicago Bulls as the ninth pick.

Butler was originally the favorite to be picked in the top five. Before the draft, he was hailed as the player with the best chance to become an All-Star this year. However, due to personality problems and various potential players with toxic templates, NBA GMs were frustrated.

Give the bull a chance to pick up the slack.

After that, he passed over a lot of unknowns and came to the 22nd pick in the first round.

Zhao Yuanzheng happily made his choice.

In Louis' previous life, Tayshaun Prince, who gave the 2004 Lakers nightmares, officially became a Laker player.

Looking at it this way, the Lakers are expected to win consecutive championships next season.

If all goes well, well, if.

After more than an hour of waiting, it was finally the Celtics draft round.

"Cheer up, it's our turn!" Louis shouted.

Scouting director Andy Greer suggested: "Roger Mason is good."

"In that case, I'll just pick one." Louis said, "Andy's recommendation is good, but I have a better candidate."

If you don't know him, it doesn't matter. Here is a quick reminder for you.

What Darius Sangella, Temar Slee, Kareem Sampson, Russell Butler.

Russell Butler?

Isiah Thomas asked sensitively.

The Rockets, who once had a 3-2 lead, were defeated by the Jazz in two consecutive games. In Game 7, Boozer scored 35 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, destroying the Rockets' inside line from the outside to the inside. It was that game that produced "

The impression that Boozer beat Yao Yuehan.

There was nothing left to choose. On the recommendation of Andy Greer, the Celtics selected Devin Brown (SG) with the 29th pick of the second round.

He is the head coach, and if the team selects a problematic player, it will be detrimental to his coaching work.

Overall, the 2002 draft was a lot less fun due to the lack of Yao Yueban.

This is a fact. The question is, why did Yao Yueban guard Boozer? This is caused by the Jazz's lineup. Jazz center Mermit Okur is a space five, and his first choice in every position battle is

Standing on the outside line to open up space, so the task of attacking the inside line fell on Boozer. As the fourth position, Boozer assumed the offensive task of the fifth position, and it was impossible for Yao Yue to run to the outside line to defend.

Okur, so he has to frequently face off against Boozer on the defensive end.

One word from Louis decided the Celtics' choice.

The most unforgettable thing is undoubtedly the seven-game battle between the Rockets and the Jazz in the first round of 2007.

Every fan who watched the Rockets and Jazz playoffs in those years will feel that Boozer was probably the most underrated power forward at the time.

"That's him." Louis smiled, "I like men who can shoot far."

The main reason is that Boozer was drafted low, so there is no harm in choosing him. Once the five-year rookie bonus period is over, it will be 2007. This is basically the period when Boozer is at his strongest. After 2007, Boozer

It can be said that every year is not as good as the previous year. When the time comes, whether it is used to exchange for draft picks or other operations, it will be feasible.

Yao Hei's argument is that Yao Yueban was beaten by Boozer in the playoffs, which was the reason why the Rockets lost the game.

Because of Boozer, Yao Yue Ban Feng Ping was killed.

Why is it that Boozer has no problems on the court, but is not a trustworthy player?

Louis smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's just a late pick in the first round anyway, so it doesn't matter if you pick the wrong person."

"Duke again?" Laimbeer joked, "Didn't they win the championship this year with such a good lineup?"

What else can you expect from a draft with such depth and depth?

As soon as he finished speaking, Greer's expression changed slightly.

Thomas had difficulty understanding the meaning of this sentence.

Afterwards, Louis wanted to use the Lakers' second-round pick Luis Scola to raise him overseas, but just like in his previous life, Scola was selected with the third pick from the bottom.

After choosing Boozer, Louis was completely relaxed mentally.

Boozer's outside shooting and inside suddenness made it difficult for Yao Yueban to defend, and the Rockets' other fourth positions were completely useless to Boozer. Therefore, this person became the biggest problem for Yao, Mai, and the Rockets in the playoffs.

⑴.

So, if Isiah Thomas can't take the team to the semifinals next year, Louis will kick him to the ceiling of the Fleet Center and let him hang with his jersey. He doesn't have to come down anymore, just be a

Mascots ward off evil spirits.

"There are no problems on the court," Greer said. "The main problem with Carlos comes from other people's evaluations of him. From the information I know, he is not a trustworthy player."

The reason why Laimbeer said this is because Duke is really talented this year.

Louis was jogging on the treadmill when Vice President Chris Wallace called to ask him who he wanted to choose.

They selected Butler with the 22nd overall pick in the second round.

Louis knew this man. When he worked in the CBA in his previous life, he recommended the club to choose him as a foreign aid, but it failed.

Although the Celtics have not added a superstar, the team is full of All-Star-level potential players, making the new season more exciting.

"What's wrong with him?"

"What kind of player is Russell?" Louis asked.

Yao Yue couldn't guard against Boozer.

The remaining two second-round picks really can be anyone's choice.

Wallace named several names.

Greer was slightly worried: "Carlos Boozer's reputation is not very good."

This year's draft is really lackluster. Except for Greer, who is the scouting director and has the obligation to recommend individual candidates, no one else has any ideas.

"Any other comments?"

Louis' selection of Boozer can not only enrich the team's inside line, but also remove a player from the outside who can restrain Yao Yueban in his style of play. Of course, the current Celtics are not afraid of players like Boozer, because they are not

The Rockets, if Yao Yueban in his previous life did not deal with Boozer, they would have to let Hayes and others play, while the Celtics can completely let Gasol guard Boozer.

This matchup is a mismatch in terms of position. Yao Yueban's height in shoes was reported by the Rockets as 229 centimeters, while Boozer's height in shoes is 206 centimeters. The difference in size brings about differences in agility and speed.

Every time Boozer attacks Yao Yueban with the ball, he is misplaced.

How can I say this? From Yao Mi's point of view, it is definitely biased. From the data point of view, he is only slightly outnumbered by Boozer in terms of statistics, and being exposed is out of the question.

To this day, Louis still clearly remembers that game and the way Boozer dominated the game.

When it was the Celtics' turn to draft again, Louis had already left the draft war room.

Louis was a witness to that period of history. It can be said that he watched the Rockets being sent home for fishing by the Jazz twice in a row in front of the TV.

Wallace quoted Greer's words: "A tall shooting guard who is good at long-range shooting, the template should be Jiang Duo."

As for why Louis chose him, the root cause is that there is no better candidate for this position, and this person has indeed left a psychological shadow on the Chinese fans during the Yao-Mai Rockets period.

Louis couldn't remember who he was, but the name sounded familiar.

"Any recommendations Andy?"

This person played in the NBA for a short period of time, but he was basically a bum. His peak period was in 2009 when he made several buzzer-beating shots with the Spurs. He was a role player who could leave a lasting impression on fans.

Louis looked at the others.

He was the confused Spurs player at the end of McGrady's game that moved God.

No. 1 pick Jay Williams and No. 3 overall pick Mike Dunleavy both came from Duke.

Because Louis changed the timeline, the Celtics are now able to select three good players, but the importance of these three newcomers is far less than that of Manuel, who is about to leave Europe and go straight to the United States.

·Ginobili.

After that, Louis called the front line, "Our choice is Carlos Boozer from Duke University."

For other teams, the intense draft season is over and the offseason is just beginning.

There are very few teams that can truly turn around through the draft. Offseason operations are the key. If the negotiations are done well, they can take off in just one summer like the Heat.

This is the time for NBA GMs, a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, to show their talents.

⑴ Those who are interested can review the highlights of Boozer in Game 7 of 2007. I think it is normal for Yao to be completely beaten by Boozer, and it was too ugly to watch. Boozer is not the kind of reliable player he seems to be.

A style of play that can't be used to bully Yao with shots, whether it's a shot from a distance, a pick-and-roll to beat Yao, or a direct one-on-one beatdown of Yao, they are all extremely powerful and highly reliable.
