Chapter 794 A Successful Draft, an Earthquake Strikes!
The Knicks' draft work is too secretive. You must know that, except for JaVale and Lin Yi, when it's the Knicks' turn to make a choice, even the Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh doesn't know who the Knicks will choose.
There is no way, the rookies that the Knicks are looking at are all the meat and potatoes in the market...
Jokic, who watched the live broadcast from his home in Serbia, was thrilled.
This "Serbian Lin Yi" regards Lin Yi as his idol, because he has been playing small forward in the youth team, so he has good ball handling and passing skills.
This kid has excellent vision, and passing the ball behind his head with one hand can often make people's scalp tingle.
At the same time, Jokic can go inside and outside, he has good post-up skills inside, and his three-pointers are very accurate on the outside, and his shooting speed is faster than the average big man.
The main reason why Jokic, who was only 19 years old, fell to the second round in 2014 was because people didn't know him well, and there were too many high-quality rookies in 2014.
After all, there are a bunch of bouncing monsters, who cares about technology flow?
It has not been a day or two since international players have suffered prejudice in the NBA. Before Jokic entered the NBA, the Nuggets were more optimistic about Nurkic and Faried, but after Jokic gradually showed his talent, the Nuggets Jin decisively straightened the "inside magician".
The data of Jokic’s role on the field cannot be fully reflected. He is more brutal than many vicious-looking black and tough players when defending. In addition, despite his fewer blocks, his ability to protect the frame is better than many cap-swiping players. , because Jokic rarely gets out of position on defense.
On offense, Jokic, as the bridgehead of the Nuggets, can bring the Nuggets, a bunch of track and field stalwarts, into style and play a set of games.
And Jokic's growth curve can only be described as exaggerated.
In Lin Yi's previous life, when this kid entered the NBA in the 1516 season, his statistics were only 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game.
But after adapting for a season, Jokic's data skyrocketed to average 16.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game.
Before Lin Yi was reborn, Mr. Yue recorded triple-doubles many times in the 1718 season, averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game.
In addition, Teacher Yue also scored 100 three-pointers in a single season in the 1718 season.
On the premise of using money to clear the way, the Knicks have persuaded Jokic's home team that this "inside magician" can log into the NBA next season.
Lin Yi planned to take Jokic together for special training in the summer. After seeing the video of Jokic's game sent by Xiao Zhong, Lin Yi found out that Jokic might not be training his strength too early, which caused him to lose weight. Has your height stopped at 208 cm?
e, Jokic's registered height is 213 cm, but the actual height...
cough cough!
It's no wonder that Mr. Yue can become the core insider of the Nuggets at the age of 21. His lower body strength is outstanding, and his big elbows make Lin Yi hungry and thirsty.
Lin Yi believes that as long as Jokic is given one season, he can fully adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.
So, cutting off the Hu in the first round is really hilarious, because the Knicks don't have to worry about other teams being able to poach Jokic in the future.
After being selected by the Knicks, Jokic hugged his family one by one. The big Serbian boy also deliberately tore off a poster of Lin Yi that he had been sticking in the corner.
In Jokic's view, it was Lin Yi who opened the door to how centers should play correctly in the new era, and he wanted to bring this poster to New York.
Jokic's old mother and old father warned his son to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and to communicate more with people when he goes to the United States.
The family environment in Eastern Europe cannot be compared with that in Western Europe. Jokic, who has suffered from childhood, is very filial. His two older brothers are both professional basketball players. The scouts are bound to regret it.
After the Knicks chose Jokic, the commentators of major TV stations are questioning the Knicks' choice,
Even the hardcore Lin Mi Barkley is not optimistic that Jokic can play in the Knicks.
After all, there are too many players like Jokic in Europe.
Fliggy said bluntly, "If Nicholas can score 20 points in a single game next season, then I will live broadcast kissing Shaq's ass."
O'Neal on the side was so embarrassing, the shark thought to himself, if labor and capital don't give you a kiss at that time, you have the ability to kiss a real shark's ass.
Lin Yi watched the live broadcast, and when he saw Barkley's bad mouth again, Lin Yi specially reminded the Knicks uniform team to remember to keep the evidence.
Barkley, this time you kiss the shark's ass!
After selecting Jokic, Lin Yi also made a special call to Jokic, which was very similar to the call with Gobert last year. Jokic was a little panicked. After all, the person calling him now is the fourth regular season p And three finals p.
Jokic in 1995 really never watched Jordan play, so in Jokic's view, Lin Yi is the Michael Jordan of this era.
"Nicolas, keep your style. The Knicks chose you because of your current style of play. You don't need to make any changes for the team. We just want you to be yourself." Lin Yi's encouragement gave It gave Jokic a lot of confidence.
Because after being looked down upon on the draft website, Jokic once doubted himself.
Lin Yi still underestimated his every word...In the future, when Jokic becomes famous, Lin Yi's encouragement to him will often be talked about by Jokic.
"For me, who was still a rookie at the time, being able to get Lin's approval made me full of motivation."
...
After selecting Jokic in the first round, the Knicks selected Dinwiddie with the eighth pick in the second round.
Originally, the Knicks could still choose Clarkson in this pick.
But Dinwiddie, who is tall and has a wider defensive area, seems to Lin Yi to be Livingston's most ideal successor.
The Knicks' offense next season will mainly revolve around the inside. With the inside always standing, Clarkson will have little room to break through.
Dinwiddie's style of play is simple and practical, and the current Knicks really don't need a tough player. After all, Lin Yi, who has healing skills, will not be injured.
Clarkson went to the Lakers as Lin Yi remembered, while Capela and Hood, who had been training with the Knicks before, were selected by the Timberwolves and Nuggets respectively.
It is rumored that the Rockets are negotiating with the Timberwolves, and Morey wants to use two second-round picks to rob the Cubs.
Lin Yi didn't know if the shrewd Morey could succeed in the robbery. Anyway, this year's Knicks draft has been quite satisfactory.
With Nash retiring and Dream Chaser destined to leave, the Knicks added Jokic and Dinwiddie.
The next step is to renew the contract that should be renewed, and let go of the one that should be let go.
Lin Yi has set his sights on the upcoming free agent market.
The Knicks, the place where dreams come true, welcome veterans to join us!
And just as Lin Yi was planning for the future, nba, an earthquake is about to strike!
