One Guard

Nowitzki was fishing leisurely in Baiyan Lake, Yi Jianlian returned to China early to prepare for the Asian Championships, Kidd was still working hard for his coaching license, and Carlisle had a rare good sleep every night for a month. . And Yiyang, and Vignali fully enjoyed their time in Brazil until the end of the NBA Finals.

On June 20, 2013, the Miami Heat defeated the San Antonio Spurs, who eliminated the Mavericks 95-88 at home, and won the NBA championship trophy for the second consecutive year.

LeBron James finally fulfilled Duncan's promise to him, and the future really belongs to him and the Miami Heat.

James won two consecutive championships, after defeating the youth invincible Thunder last year, this year, they defeated the seasoned Spurs. With 2 championships in 3 years, James is undoubtedly creating his own dynasty.

In three years, the only team that can prevent James and the Heat from raging in the league is the Dallas Mavericks!

Although James' rule makes Miami fans very comfortable, but now, other fans all over the world are waiting for a team, a team that can break the heat dominance to appear.

Who will be the team that breaks James' rule? People have different opinions. Some people think that the Spurs can fight again, and some think that a healthy Thunder lineup can do it. But absolutely no one thinks that the Dallas Mavericks can beat the Miami Heat again.

Look at how they were beaten in the quagmire by the Spurs last season. The Mavericks are already amazing to win two games in the Western Conference Finals. Reached the finals to break the heat dominance? Well, you can have a dream, but don't be too unrealistic.

Now, the attention of fans all over the world is on the Heat. The Spurs, who had just been eliminated from the game, lost the ball, but they also had countless fans. And the Mavericks, who have been away from the field for a month, have not appeared in people's sight for a long time.

Yiyang returned to Dallas one day after the end of the NBA Finals. He did not come back this time to celebrate Dirk's birthday, nor to renew his contract with Cuban in advance. Yiyang came back this time with only one purpose, to prepare for the team's draft work a week later.

"I didn't expect you to be so interested in the draft." Carlisle was a little surprised to see Yiyang interrupted his vacation and came back just for the NBA draft. This guy Yiyang only knew to focus on training himself before. And now, he also knows how to choose teammates.

"We are very happy that you can participate in the summer operation of the team. After all, only you who play on the court know which player is best for us. Seriously, we don't want to sign Mayo and Odom anymore. They look good on the surface, but they don’t fit in with the team. This year, if you give us your opinion, our reinforcement work should proceed very smoothly!” Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr. didn’t mind Yiyang’s intervention. In the operation of the team's personnel, he feels very happy about it.

"I don't mean to give any advice, I just think that guy is not bad. Of course, the decision is still in your hands." Yiyang knows that his duty is to play well on the court, and he has no right to other things. put one's oar in. Therefore, he did not pressure the team to choose Gobert, nor did he say that the team must sign a star. What Yiyang wants is just to let the team pay attention to people he thinks are good. As for whether to choose, it depends on the meaning of the team's management.

"How much do you know about Gobert?" The crowd sat down and began to discuss the goals of this draft. Although this year, the Mavericks can only get at most one draft pick at the end of the first round. But after Yiyang's great attention, even if it was only the last part of the first round, Cuban. Carlisle and Nelson Jr. are all very serious.

"Not much, I only know that he is full of energy and obsessed with defense. But to be honest, I only played against him once and didn't have too much contact. So, it depends on his performance during the trial." Yiyang opened his hand, and he admitted that Gobert had left a deep impression on him, but he was not sure whether that guy was right for the current Mavericks.

Cuban doesn't care about this, as long as it can meet Yiyang's requirements, spend 3 million US dollars to buy a draft pick, and then use the draft pick to sign Gobert, why not? In order to make his head star happy, 3 million is not worth mentioning.

The weakness of the Mavericks center position cannot be denied, but Cuban’s real goal this summer is Howard and Al Jefferson, two All-Star centers. Gobert? There is nothing wrong with using it as a substitute.

"Gobert will come to Dallas for training the day after tomorrow. In the past few days, we will also send scouts to pay close attention to Gobert's performance in other places. Of course, if we can, we can also try the one from Greece... ..." At this point, Little Nelson paused, because the next name is too difficult to pronounce.

"From Greece, Yannis Ad...to...Tokumbo" After a lot of effort, little Nelson finally encapsulated all 26 letters that seemed to be in it. Read his name.

"Antetokounmpo is indeed a very promising guy. He may not necessarily be able to become a superstar in the future, but he can definitely become a very good championship puzzle. Because he can do almost anything on the court. Of course, It is not impossible for him to grow into a superstar. After all, that kid only came into contact with basketball in 2008, and his ability to achieve such a short time is enough to show his talent. However, Antetokounmpo may hardly fall to the end of the first round. , I guess, the Bucks might win him in the middle of the first round. "It can be seen that Carlisle has been paying attention to the guy named Antetokounmpo for a day or two. Otherwise, he wouldn't know others so thoroughly.

"The world is unpredictable. If Antetokounmpo falls to the end of the first round, then we will choose Antetokounmpo. If Antetokounmpo is picked midway, we will take Rudy Gobert. . I’m going to contact the team with the draft pick to see who is willing to accept our cash transaction.” After the little Nelson said, stood up and went to work for the pick.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm so strong this summer, Cuban feels that the Mavericks' revival seems to be close at hand. O'Brien Cup, we won't let you wait too long...

※※※

The day after the four discussed, the Mavericks reached a verbal agreement with Denver. Cuban used a cash subsidy of $3 million to purchase the 27th overall pick in the first round of this year directly from the Denver Nuggets.

The league stipulates that teams can directly purchase draft picks with a cash subsidy price capped at $3 million. If you have the skills, you can even get the No. 1 pick for a price of $3 million. Of course, there is not such a stupid general manager in this world who will sell his high draft picks for $3 million. Generally speaking, at a price of $3 million, at most one second-round pick can be bought in the draft year. And this year is a draft year, the Mavericks were "lucky" to get a first-round final pick. However, the first-round pick with the 27th overall pick may not be much more valuable than the second-round pick.

Since the trading market has not yet been opened, the trade will be completed on the day of the draft, if the Nuggets do not go back.

After the news broke, there was no turmoil in the outside world. The Mavericks really need a first-round pick, and the Nuggets are busy with Iguodala's contract extension. A draft pick with the 27th overall pick? Who cares? Now the Nuggets are facing the question of whether they can keep their star. Many NBA teams have a negative profit year after year, and a better team may have a profit of tens of millions of dollars a year. The $3 million subsidy exception is more valuable to the Denver Nuggets than the 27th pick.

Although there are many examples of successful low-ranking Taobao in the history of the NBA, in fact, the chances of low-ranking players becoming talented are very low. Not to mention the low overall, even the players in the lottery zone, in the end, there are only a handful of players who can actually play. Michael Beasley was originally called the nation's first high school student, and J. Mayo was even called the next Kobe, but his performance is obvious to all.

No matter whether the draft is high or low, it is a gamble. And this 3 million US dollars is a big bet by Cuban, he may hit a golden egg with 3 million, but it is more likely to choose a badass.

Effortlessly, the Mavericks have their own first-round pick. The 27th pick seems useless, but Yiyang and Carlisle take it seriously.

If they are lucky enough to choose Antetokounmpo, then the $3 million is worth the money. As for Rudy Gobert's worth of the 3 million, it depends on his performance during the trial...

On June 23, the Dallas Mavericks ushered in their first batch of rookies to undergo trial training. There is no Antetokounmpo, because Antetokounmpo’s managers believe that his client is unlikely to fall to the end of the first round. Therefore, all the other people who came to the trial had only one role in Carlisle and Yiyang, and that was to act as a sparring partner for Gobert.

When Cuban saw Gobert for the first time, he was taken aback by the guy's extremely slender limbs! This guy's physical condition is something that no one can get no matter how hard he puts in. Although Gobert looks too thin as a center forward. But weight and strength can be practiced. You can't practice height and arm span.

"Welcome to Dallas~www.novelmtl.com~boy. I hope you can show excellent performance in the next training." Cuban and Gobert shook hands. Gobert did not have any extra expressions, and finished his hand. After that, he walked directly onto the court to warm up.

"That kid is really similar to you." Seeing Gobert behaved like this, Cuban remembered the scene when he and Dirk first met Yiyang three years ago.

Three years have passed, and the person who selected the rookie with him now has become the rookie of the year.

"His focus on basketball is something that many people don't have, but...Let's take a look at his performance." Although Yiyang has a good impression of Gobert, his knowledge of Gobert comes only from That exhibition game. Now, put him among a bunch of American geniuses, how will he behave?

The finals have just ended, but Yiyang and Cuban are already preparing for their dream of a championship next season. The 27th pick in exchange for $3 million, I hope Cuban can hit a golden egg.
