Chapter 592 [A Blessing in Disguise]

After a few days of rest, Yang Rui gave manager Kupchak a list of four candidates, two first choices and two backups. This time he stayed in Los Angeles for vacation and did not go to New York for the scene.

The Lakers hold three draft picks, one is the Magic's 26th pick, and the other is their own 30th pick.

Chinese media have been predicting who the Lakers will select this year. Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue are both participating in the draft. It is impossible for Yi Jianlian to join at the top of the draft, but Sun Yue is still possible.

With Yao Ming here, of course Yang Rui will not choose Sun Yue. If a team has two Chinese players, the league will definitely not support the Lakers. Stern hopes to expand the Chinese market, but does not want the strongest team in the league to be Chinese team.

Last season, Yang Rui asked Yao Ming to take fewer shots, which was in line with Stern's wishes. Kobe's pursuit of Jordan will maximize the interests of the league, instead of another O'Neal appearing, suppressing Kobe and wanting to leave.

Yao Ming's role as second-in-command is beneficial to everyone. It is acceptable for the league to win his MVP once, but not any more.

Yang Rui will not choose Marc Gasol. Gasol fell to the second round. In addition to the weight factor, it is also related to his inability to join immediately. Gasol joined in 2008 and Yang Rui was ready to leave. Why did he choose this guy? Compete with Yao Ming for playing time or replace Yao Ming?

Both of them can only play center, and it is difficult to allocate playing time. It is also a waste to let Xiaojia only play 15 minutes per game.

Yang Rui hasn't decided where to go in the future, but no matter which team he chooses, he doesn't want the Lakers to be invincible. If he leaves, the Lakers will no longer be able to win the championship, and it will appear that his coaching level is higher.

In this draft, the Lakers need guards and power forwards as supplements after the players leave, and the players' destinations have changed a lot from Yang Rui's previous life.

The Knicks actually won the No. 1 pick. When Phil Jackson announced that center Greg Oden was selected with the No. 1 pick, the New York fans stood up and applauded for a long time.

Oden's reputation is so great that he is already known as "The Great" even before he enters the league. Experts are optimistic that he can dominate the league in the future. It is said that he has Chamberlain's physical fitness, Skyhook's soft touch, Shaq's turning skills, Dameng's steps at the basket, Bucket's shot-blocking talent, and Russell's defensive toughness.

It's a pity that he also has the same fragile knees as Brandon Roy and an old face that looks like he is approaching retirement...

The Knicks were already cursed when they traded Ewing. Later, they traded Yao Ming, and the curse deepened. Now they have selected Oden. If he is reimbursed continuously, I wonder what Jackson's expression will be like when he is interviewed.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Oden was the biggest tragedy in the NBA. He kept being reimbursed for surgeries, reimbursements, and surgeries. He was never able to fulfill his talent and played a total of 105 games in the NBA. Later, he went to China's CBA to find gold but failed and retired sadly at the age of 28.

The SuperSonics selected Kevin Durant with the second pick, which was the most correct choice.

The Bucks selected insider Al Horford with the third pick. With him and Bargnani partnering, the Bucks will be strong inside next season.

Unfortunately, the Warriors failed to make the top three picks and selected point guard Mike Conley with the fourth pick. This is a defender who is good both offensively and defensively, with a selfless style of play and no mercy at critical moments. His style is similar to Billups.

The Warriors will send Francis away no matter what in the summer. Even if they can't get back good players, they can clear up salary space.

The Bobcats selected forward Jeff Green with the 5th overall pick. He swings at the 3rd and 4th positions and has good scoring ability.

The Timberwolves selected Yi Jianlian with the sixth pick.

All the Chinese fans in front of the TV were disappointed. This result was very surprising. They actually went to that bitter cold place in Minnesota? ! Moreover, Yi Jianlian is 213cm tall and weighs 115kg. His template is Pau Gasol, and his playing style obviously overlaps with Garnett's.

Fans immediately posted messages online, expressing concerns about Yi Jianlian's future.

"If Ah Lian goes to the Timberwolves, he has to take his time in training. If he plays too well, he might get beaten."

"No,

What choice does the Timberwolves make? Should they let Yi Jianlian play as a substitute? Even if the Timberwolves often have garbage time and Garnett plays 40 minutes a game, are they supposed to switch to center? "

"There should be a deal. You can't go anywhere without the Timberwolves."

No one expected Yi Jianlian to have a good development in the Timberwolves. Yi Jianlian came on stage with a hat on and a bitter smile. He didn't know how to coexist with Garnett.

Only Yang Rui thinks that Yi Jianlian is lucky. Although the geographical location is not very good, the Timberwolves are a good place to collect data. With data, it is possible to obtain big contracts in the future.

He guessed one thing. The Timberwolves management decided to send Garnett away in the summer, but he didn't know whether they would choose to trade with the Celtics.

Ray Allen joined the Celtics a year ahead of schedule, and the team has made the playoffs for two consecutive years, including the second round last season.

The Celtics are not weak inside. Al Jefferson averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and shot 51.4% from the field. The team also traded for the outstanding blue-collar inside player Kendrick Parkin last season. Sri Lanka.

The trident composed of Ray Allen, Pierce, and Al Jefferson is very strong. Under the premise that it has proven its strength, the Celtics management will also make a big deal and exchange half of the team for two consecutive years. Garnett is at the bottom of the team?

In any case, as long as Garnett leaves, it will be good news for Yi Jianlian, who will definitely get a lot of ball rights next season.

How can you know that it is a blessing in disguise?

The Trail Blazers were only seventh, much worse than Yang Rui's previous life, but they selected center Joakim Noah, a blue-collar player with more promise than Oden. The Blazers manager frowned, not very happy. This was a helpless choice. The people they wanted to choose were Oden and Horford, but they didn't know that they had already escaped.

Brandon White is a lanky power forward who is not suitable to partner with Aldridge, so they can only choose Noah.

At No. 8, the 76ers selected White to increase inside depth.

In ninth place, the Rockets selected center Spencer Hawes. They now want to trade Eddie Curry, but it is difficult to send him away.

At No. 10, the Nets selected swingman Corey Brewer. Brewer fell to this pick, and the Nets felt they had gotten a big bargain. He has super long arms and is quite strong on the defensive end. He can defend from position 1 to position 5. He has the speed of a defender, the bounce of a swingman, and the height of a forward. The disadvantage is that his shooting is poor.

This year is an underrated draft, and there are many outstanding players outside of the 10 picks.

The Kings selected Thaddeus Young, the Pistons selected Rodney Stuckey, the Pacers selected Al Thornton, and the Wizards selected Nick Young.

The Clippers selected Gavaris Crittenton. In Yang Rui's previous life, this was a super problematic player with no ability to play and an extremely hot temper.

Crittenton is famous for working with Arenas to create the famous "gun door" in the NBA locker room during the 2009-10 season, which severely damaged the Wizards' vitality. The two got into a fight in the locker room and pointed unloaded handguns at each other.

After the incident was exposed, David Stern finally decided to ban the two men from the rest of the season.

This is nothing. In August 2011, Crittenton was charged with shooting 22-year-old Julianne Jones, a mother of four. According to an investigation by the Atlanta police, Jones was not the target of Crittenton. Crittenton originally aimed at a man who had robbed him, but his shooting skills were too poor and accidentally injured Jones. The latter was hit in the leg and underwent surgery. died in the process.

Ultimately, Crittenton was sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Lord Baylor continued to maintain his divine vision and chose a murderer...

The Knicks traded the No. 23 pick to select Wilson Chandler, who is a good rookie.

The Suns selected Spanish shooting guard Fernandez.

Finally it was the Lakers' turn, and Kupchak took the stage and announced that he had selected point guard Aaron Brooks.
