NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 240 Eight: Finsen & Dabaibian, the worst 2010 draft pick
Yes.

It is these two that he wants to recommend to the Jiangsu men's basketball team. One is the number one Zhan Chuan in history and a master at playing the piano, and the other is a 2K monster who helped Sichuan win the championship in the NBL.

These two can be regarded as one of the few good players in the second round this year, and they are also better than those two in the bad world.

姜超查到芬森确实参选了，大学期间场均贡献12.3分5.4个篮板2.5次助攻，预测次轮10-15选中。

I don't know if it's fate, this year Jiang Chao may cut off the two players selected by Bird Bird in his previous life.

From this, it can be seen that Bird's vision is still very good. In his previous life, he was the first-round pick for George and the second-round pick for Finson, but now he has played him off. Jiang Chao will look at the pick at that time. If the Pacers have a high pick, it is not too bad It may be the late Finsen.

This kid went to the CBA to kill randomly, and he also has a lot of CBA love, first accept the tempering of the iron fist of socialism, otherwise he will come to the Knicks, he will turn himself into the master.

Then Dabaibian was much more terrifying. Hassan Whiteside averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.35 blocks per game. The total number of blocks in a single season was 182, breaking the school history record. He is a block madman.

He also announced that he will run for the election this year, but now he is a bit of a defensive walk and only pursues statistics. Jiang Chao can see his block collection and find that this guy is just squatting inside and can't die.

It’s no wonder that no one went to CBA two years ago. No one wants CBA. After that, it finally came to the small ball era. The powerful centers in the small ball era disappeared. Defensive and offensive rebounds are still a bit useful.

The Knicks scouting report reads:
Hassan Whiteside averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.35 blocks per game. The total number of blocks in a single season was 182, setting a school record.

Now he is indeed considered average in the interior, and he can even be called a soft guy. Let alone meeting Dayao, he will be completely abused if he meets Hibbert.

But this kind of player is enough to go to the CBA. There are not many players with strong shooting in the CBA. With such a seven-foot height and a seven-foot-seven-inch wingspan on the inside, it is undoubtedly O'Neal of the CBA.

Any team that wins the CBA championship must have the presence of an insider.

Da Baibian's pick is predicted at the beginning of the second round. This pick is also the pick that Big Bird can choose. However, Big Bird has Hibbert in the team, so it will not choose a big center. At that time, Jiang Chao will look at the deal.

And this player is actually not particularly popular, that's how a big happy team like the Kings would choose someone. When Cousins ​​was selected in the first round, they would choose a big center in the next round. I don't know what the brain circuit thinks.

So Jiang Chao actually suspected that Da Baibian might lose the selection, because I heard that he was too soft in the trial training, and was called a soft guy by the scouts. As we all know, if you are labeled soft in the NBA, unless you are separated Dunk a big shark or shoot outrageously, otherwise it is basically a marginal figure.

And Dabaibian has more love with CBA and China. After he was abandoned by the NBA, he saw that many international players who want to enter the NBA must win the championship in the local area in order to be seen.

So I really worked hard in the NBL for a year and helped Sichuan win the championship and upgrade to the CBA.

Behind is the dog blood story.

At this time, he really wanted to continue playing in the CBA to win the championship, but instead, the CBA didn't want him.

For CBA, there is actually a weird situation.

If foreign players want to join the CBA, they must have strong leadership or scoring skills.

Without these two characteristics, it would be difficult for them to join the CBA.

Take Whiteside for example, he helped Sichuan win the championship in the NBL in his previous life and also won the FMVP, but the final result was rejected by the CBA. They believed that Whiteside did not have a dominant performance.

It is worth mentioning that Whiteside can get 21+15+4 data per game in the NBL, which is already very good.

This is a rare situation where a foreign player wants to stay, but the CBA doesn't want him.

From this, Jiang Chao can feel the decay of CBA and the mediocrity of vision. At that time, the foreign aid was basically a small guard. This kind of big center can't make the management like it if he can't score 40+ casually. The guard can only score goals all the time. Selling more tickets isn't it?

Therefore, the CBA actually pays more attention to statistics, because Dabai Bian's offense basically relies on dunks, and his scoring explosiveness is naturally not as good as those foreign players who perform on the flat ground.

In this aspect, it just complements Finsen. Finsen shows off, and the white edge makes rebounds and it's over.

After being unable to get a contract in the CBA, Whiteside had no choice but to choose to try in the NBA.

This trial gave me my own spring, and I don’t need to say much about what happened later. In the NBA, I dominated the block list all the year round. Although I changed a few teams, it’s easy to get a stable rotation in an NBA team. .

Until Jiang Chao crossed, his data of 16+14+3.1 blocks in the Blazers was undoubtedly the top data in the league.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao made a phone call to Finsen and the two. Next, he doesn't need to pretend to be a chicken like he chose Curry last year.

And these two people are different from Curry. Curry is the core and must be. If these two people know that Jiang Chao must be themselves, wouldn't their tails be raised to the sky?
But he really wanted to see how Finsen cocked his tail.

"Hello? Stephenson? Come to our team for trial training in the summer."

"OKOK!! Are you going to choose me, Boss!! I will do my best! I will not participate in any team's trial invitation!"

"It's not necessary!"

In the end, it seemed that Finsen didn't hear it either. His voice was far away, as if he had said a word to the people around him:

"Hey, uncle, I'm going to the NBA, Knicks!"

"Take it easy for me. If you lose the election, you will be blown away. Why are you so excited?"

Worthy of being one of the most coquettish men in the NBA, Finsen is really coquettish:
"Huh?? You don't use that Pacers to sign me?"

Jiang Chao really wanted to give him a fist:

"What are you thinking, little brother, it would be too wasteful for you."

"Okay... I don't pick anyone, as long as I can play for money, I want to show off to the world."

"Drip drip drip."

Jiang Chao hung up the phone directly, and the female bodyguard drove to Butler University and sent him to the airport.

……

In the VIP box at the airport, Jiang Chao was enjoying a relaxing leg massage and eating the dessert sent by Hayward, while answering the report call from Sean Marks.

We talked about the records of each team and the teams we will meet in the playoffs.

The Pacers are doing okay now, and Bird is not deceiving, and the fourth-to-last in the East is stable. If you work harder in the end, the penultimate will be perfect.

You must know that the bottom three in the league have a 3% chance of being the number one pick.

Then the Knicks climbed up, maybe because of Yao Ming's turmoil. Recently, the Knicks won four consecutive victories and directly ranked fourth in the East with 45 wins and 22 losses.

The Eagles and Heat were left behind, but they were very close, one was half a win and the other was a win.

Therefore, the second-round picks owned by the Knicks should be the last, with more than 2 picks in the second round.

But Sean Marks, and even the beautiful bodyguards around him, feel that Jiang Chao can still do low-ranking Taobao this year.

Sean Marks also mysteriously asked Jiang Chao if he had any favorite players:
"Boss, I promise not to say anything, so just tell me, who are you looking for in the next round?"

"Anyway, I feel that they are definitely not the two you contacted!"

The two he mentioned must be Finsen and Dabaibian who played out in Butler University. Sure enough, rumors about the draft are still spreading quickly in the circle. Less knee-jerk thinking by scouts.

After all, the Knicks didn't try Harden alone last year, so they directly used the No. 3 pick to select a player who didn't try out, which is also a precedent.

"Ham, to be honest, you won't believe it. In the second round this year, only those two are okay. It's best to get these two."

"Boss, what's the deal with me? This year's draft is not bad. There are players in all positions. Unlike last year, they were all guards."

Sean Marks and Mustache actually talked in private that Jiang Chao would definitely get the seventh rookie guard in the team.

That is the Chinese guard Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin also signed up for the election this year. To be honest, only the Chinese boss Jiang Chao can choose him. After all, Harvard’s basketball background is almost 0. It doesn’t matter if Jeremy Lin is in the circle. The only connection is to help Jiang Chao tried out Sun Yue.

Therefore, many people are speculating that Jeremy Lin may be selected by the Knicks in the second round, otherwise he will fail to sign up.

"To be honest, this year's level is not as good as last year's one-tenth."

Jiang Chao looked like he was talking about all kinds of things in ancient and modern times.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the provision of two rookies to the Jiangsu team, he really wouldn't care so much about this year's draft.

There is a sigh in my heart, don't look at the hustle and bustle this year, but look at it from his perspective in 2022.

Regarding the 2010 NBA rookies, it can only be said that whether it is a popular big man or a small man who wants to counterattack, they are all short-lived after all, and they can't afford to be hurt.

2010年的新秀，打进过全明星的一共有下面这么4位：状元约翰沃尔、5号秀德马库斯考辛斯、9号秀戈登海沃德、10号秀保罗乔治。

Few, very shabby.

And Turner, the No. 76 pick chosen by the ers, is not as good as the previous generation: If Iguodala is an All-Star threshold, Turner simply hovers outside the All-Star threshold.

Discussion of Favors, No. 4 pick Wesley Johnson, No. 6 pick Ai Paiyoudu, No. 7 pick Monroe, and No. 8 pick Aminu. They were all expected to be high, but none of them played as expected. Achievements come.

And some little people who may counterattack also have bumps and bumps. There is no super dark horse in the second-round show like in the previous ten years.

Basketball poet Larry Sanders, maybe he is not a small person, he is the 15th pick, just No.1 outside the lottery show.

The triple-double who once blocked shots was the core of the Bucks inside. Later, he was suspended for smoking contraband, and was later bought out.

In fact, before he left the NBA, he was still a very good inside player. If it weren't for the suspension, he would probably be an All-Star player if he went up.

Jordan Crawford, who dunked James, was once a good scorer for the Wizards. He was probably the point guard Nick Young. He was so crazy that even his own people were afraid. After all, he dared to dunk NBA superstar James in high school. People are bold.

Greg Vazquez, the 28th pick, got the chance to play because of the team's extensive injuries. He performed well and was poached by the Hornets. He was once a qualified starting point guard in the NBA.

Even Whiteside, who Jiang Chao was going to choose for Sujiang, was so downcast that he was eliminated in the CBA gold rush.

After returning to the NBA, he played crazy data and got a big contract, but his defense was always insufficient, which hindered him from going further.

The 39th pick Landry Fields, Jeremy Lin's good friend, let's put it this way, during the rookie season when Wall was injured, Fields was always the best in the Eastern Conference.

Lance Stephenson, the 40th pick, once easily won a triple-double, "the world's number one Zhan Chuan", a man who made Pacers fans boil second only to George. Later, he could only get mixed up in the Development League. The problem was fired, and he was replaced by a generation of sad "hero" OJ Mayo.

As for the undrafted pick, only Jeremy Lin had a bright moment. Lin madness was enough for him for a lifetime, but that's all... Later, he never reached the state he was at that time.

This is the little people in the 2010 rookie class. Each one of them had a bright moment and counterattacked, but the ending of the counterattack was a flash in the pan.

So you let Jiang Chao choose, Jiang Chao didn't want to take the risk to get them. There are enough rookies in the team, and there is no place for them.

At this time, Jiang Chao is no longer the crazy boss of last year.

Just say who can Shu Hao replace now?Curry?Beverly?Danny Green?Matthews?Mills?Or Harden who can also organize?
Therefore, choosing him is a waste of his youth, and he cannot be given a chance. Therefore, even though Sean Marks said on the phone that Jeremy Lin had contacted the Knicks for trial training many times, Jiang Chao said that he must not give him extra hope. Nian really has no room for him.

This kind of point guard takes possession of the ball, and what Jiang Chao wants is not a flash in the pan, but a championship. His feelings are not the current feelings. When the time comes, I can help you see which team lacks a point guard. You can recommend a wave.

Lin Crazy, he still looks forward to reappearing, this is the blood of his generation, one of the necessary materials for composition content!

But it is by no means possible to go crazy in Nixlin again.

And the above four players who have been selected as All-Stars also have something in common, but Jiang Chao believes that he can fight against unnatural factors because he has the blessing of a genius doctor.

That is!
injury!

This is the most regrettable thing for these four strongest rookies this year.

John Wall can be reimbursed for taking a shower at home, and the scenes of Paul George and Hayward being injured are even scary to watch, as is Cousins.

Wall used to be an offensive and defensive point guard in the league, not the number one point guard, but definitely in the forefront;
Paul George was once the top three small forwards in the league, and Cousins ​​was once the number one center in the league. Unfortunately, injuries ruined everything.

After Hayward was injured, it was difficult to return to the top. Now that he has moved to many teams, Wall simply does not have to play with an annual salary of 4000 million.

Cousins ​​wandered around for the championship, wherever there was hope, fortunately, there was Paul George.

Before crossing, Paul George was still the league's top star and the only player in the NBA's 2010 rookie class who remained at the All-Star level.

Think about the 2009 class and Curry, Harden, DeRozan.

There was Westbrook in the 2008 class, Durant in the 2007 class, James in the 2003 class, and a rookie in the 2010 class.

So if we want to rank the quality of NBA rookies every year, the ranking of the 2010 class is destined not to be too high. Only Paul George is left, and nothing can save this rookie class.

There are only 4 All-Stars in total, and all of them are rapidly falling due to injuries. The upper limit of counterattacks is not high. The 2010 rookie, even if Jiang Chao is forced to join Kyle Anderson, who participated in the draft in advance, will only be a bleak rookie. up.

But if Jiang Chao operates properly, it is very likely that two future All-Star forwards will enter the Knicks this year.

This is the only thing Jiang Chao is looking forward to.

As for Sean Marks' reminder that the Warriors may have to make trouble this year, Jiang Chao doesn't care too much, because this year's Don Nelson and Wright's riots caused the draft to be dizzy.

Originally, the Warriors selected Curry in 09, Thompson in 11, Barnes and Green in 12, but they lost their hips in 10 years.

In 10 years, the Warriors used the No. 6 pick to select Ai Paiyoudu and missed Paul George. This was also the biggest and only failure of the Warriors in those drafts. If not, perhaps the Warriors' rise would have been earlier.

But now there is no chance at all. Now the Pacers have a worse record than the Warriors, and they are likely to be picked before the Warriors.

"Just inquire about the Warriors a little bit, I believe in the reincarnation of history."

"Okay, Bird asked you which one you suggest they pick, our first round pick should be around 20-25."

Jiang Chao remembered the cooperation agreement with the Pacers and smiled:

"You just tell the king that in order to thank you for your kindness, you will finally tell him on the day of the draft, and continue to show off now."

"Boss, you are still ruthless!"

"Dreams are still there, what if the king is forced to win the first prize, haha."

"Then do we want Wall???" Max was already fantasizing about the Knicks' impact storm!
