The Whip of the God of Basketball

　　 The Celtics did not hesitate to pick Joe Johnson at the 11th overall pick. They didn't experience too much controversy as they did when they won Michael Reid last year. This was their intended goal. The Celtics made a lot of effort to grab him in the eleventh place. With the Orlandoans taking Diop, the defender from Little Rock, Arkansas, naturally fell into the pockets of the Celtics and became Kay. An important bargaining chip for the Alters.

When the draft meets here, everything seems a lot calmer. Fans and the media will no longer pay as much attention to the top picks and second-place picks as they did. There will be no longer-distance online interviews, and no more long-distance online interviews. There are feature interviews, only some simple interviews.

But for each team, it is the most important moment when the undercurrents are surging. The frequent trades of the top ten picks undoubtedly stimulate the flow of the entire player market, and there are constant trading rumors, and the faces of the rookies who step onto the stage With excitement and confusion, they didn't know when the hat on their heads changed color.

"I guess the Boston media will scold us again?" Another defender was selected. Don't you know that basketball is a sport that requires height? Is it harder to find a center than to make the Celtics win! '. Phew, sometimes I really want those reporters to sit in my position and work for a day, and then come to find my fault." Moreto said to Leon with his cheeks. After a year of work, Morey's deepest experience is The omnipresent media. Although winning Joe Johnson is the unanimous choice of the coaching staff and scouts, it does not mean that fans and the media will understand it, especially when they have chosen Michael Reid last year.

Leon frowned and did not speak, while Chris Wallace explained: "We should be glad to get Johnson in the 11th place. There has been news that the Magic wants to intercept Johnson in the 10th place. Don’t you know the reason why the Blazers didn’t choose Jordan back then was because they had Drexler? For newcomers, we must value talent. I am optimistic about his talent. His existence will form a healthy competition with Reid. We are shooting guards. It’s a little bit pitiful to have talent. Although Kay’s tradition is like this, we don’t have the genius of shooting guards. We seem to allocate points to the front line. Moreover, the subsequent trade is the key. It must be admitted that these two guys will only stay. One. But for now, they must be fully held."

Wallace’s mind is still very clear. Even if he knows that Wallace is likely to leave the Celtics within a year or two, and may even switch to his old rivals, Leon still has no private possession of Wallace. The entire draft There is no reservation about Wallace's planning process, including those little tricks that are not very fair.

　　 This makes Wallace admire Leon’s measurement very much, and feel that his confession is worthwhile. Now the relationship between the two has taken a step further. In the future NBA management network, they will undoubtedly be very good friends.

　　 Morey is younger. Many things can only be seen on the surface. Those dense data sometimes complain about this and that, like ordinary young people, or say witty things to amuse everyone. However, his learning ability is not trivial, and he will not follow Wallace in many things. He has his own ideas. After all, he is a person who started his own company and became the boss, but he is not a follower who knows nothing.

Compared with Leon, it was a little far behind. Leon, who was still frowning at this time, had already envisioned three sets of trading plans related to Joe Johnson or Michael Reid in his mind, each of which was in line with The salary balance standard, because he can keep in mind the work of all players in the league. After a while, Leon still shook his head. These plans were directly rejected by him. It seems that they still have to implement plan A, because there is no better and more convenient plan B, and the situation is not bad. To need C plan.

When the draft reached the 15th overall pick, the three stopped communicating. Wallace had gone down to hand over the Celtics' choice to David Stern. Five minutes later, Stern was on stage. The result was announced-the Celtics won center Dai Samuel Lemport from Haiti with the 15th overall pick.

Undoubtedly, the Celtics played a tricky trick. Diop, who was selected with the 10th overall pick, was originally very promising. He was one of the six high school students who participated in the draft this year. Quite a few scouts gave Good appraisal, I think he has a talented talent. Originally, the Cleveland Cavaliers had a chance to win Diop in eighth place, but in the end they abandoned the Senegalese center and chose Rodney White instead.

When it was the Orlando Magic’s turn, they hesitated for a while between Diop and Joe Johnson, but in order to prioritize the inside and help David Stern suppress the Celtics-since 1991 The beginning of this work has never stopped, the Magic eventually won Diop, but in fact they have no interest in the high school rookie Celtics, unless it is Kobe and Garnett.

Of course, the Celtics did not completely give up the search for inside players. Dalem Porter was their choice. It was not Leon who made this decision, but Wallace. In recent years, Wallace has The goodwill of foreign players has reached an incredible level. The 7-foot-tall Haitian center has poor skills and has a late contact with basketball. His energy is reflected in the defensive end. He is considered to be the next Mutombo, but who knows Anyway, any overseas black center will be considered the next Olajuwon or Mutombo.

It’s just that Wallace isn’t unfounded this time. Leon, Morey, and Westland made detailed statistics on the defensive statistics of the national sophomore centers, and then Leon used a very complicated formula to calculate. Given his own set of data-the defensive efficiency value, Dalem Porter's contribution on the defensive end is among the best in the NCAA, and it can even rank first when adjusting some of the weights.

　　 This is the inherent guarantee that Chris Wallace dares to make a choice. Although the data does not tell everything, after all, you don’t have to watch the sky and eat.

After winning Dalem Porter, the first round was already more than half of the time. For the draft, it was the climax, and then it will become weaker and weaker, but Leon's heart is getting more and more excited. The first two choices are just The layout is stable, and there will be no back-hands for a while, and the place where the bayonet cuts the meat will appear at the end of the first round!

With the 21st overall pick, the Celtics showed up again. As Leon said, they won Gilbert Arenas at the last pick of their first round, but the stubborn Arenas did not come. At the scene, he was watching the live draft of the draft in a small hotel in Los Angeles. When David Stern read Arenas' name from his mouth at the 21st overall pick, Arenas suddenly turned off the TV, a humiliation, unwillingness and a hint of fortunate complexity. The psychology melted in his chest, and finally turned into a line of tears falling from his eyes.

Arenas expects him to be in the top ten, at least being selected in the top fifteen. He even thought that he could be selected as the top pick, but he did not show up. After that, a large number of reporters will be in the small hotel. Surrounded him to interview him nearby, and posted his close-up pictures to satellite TV. But now, the Celtics' assistant coach said that he became a cold name in Stern's mouth. After reading it, there was nothing left.

　　 "Another guard..." Morey murmured again, apparently making complaints and attacks on the Boston media, UU reading www. uukanshu.com he also has some lingering fears. It just seems that the Celtics have chosen three guards in two years.

The Celtics' performance in the first round seems to be over. Although there is no top pick, they are really eye-catching with three picks, and from the perspective of the draft, they will be true The big winner.

　　 But everything is not over. When the first round reached the last position, there were two teams left: Grizzlies and Spurs. The 29th Timberwolves was cancelled due to a violation of the Smith incident. At this moment, Popovich and Presti’s heart is broken, because just two minutes before the Grizzlies start the election, Popovich received a call from the Grizzlies manager Dick Forsyth, saying that they will be in the 27th. Take down Tony Parker and hope to trade with the Spurs.

Just two minutes ago, Popovich secretly prayed that the Grizzlies would not take Parker. After all, Forsyth was kind. He notified Popovich in advance and made a "friendly" trade application. It was not at the last minute that Stern’s name would destroy Popovich’s hopes. This is of course Leon’s request. He said that he should inform the Spurs of the deal in advance, and don’t let the "sudden blow go to their heads, but choose to go one way to the black and give up what they want, so that what we want will not get."

Of course, when Popovich saw the Grizzlies pulling the Celtic's three-way transaction plan, he knew who was behind the scenes, and all the feedback, courtesy and intelligence they gave to the Green Army before. It's a dog! "Fuck-Green..."
