Chapter 266 Take down George + Haishuai!The ultimate operation to see yourself wet! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)

Chapter 260 Six: Take down George + Haishuai!The ultimate operation to see yourself wet! (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)

"Paul George from Cal State Fresno!! Congratulations!!!"

David Stern applauded one more time. Jiang Chao is not crazy this time. The Knicks had problems with their front line last year. It is a good choice to choose a small forward with a high pick this time.

Although he was also a little surprised.

Just look at the expressions on the people below.

high...

Can George be the eighth pick? ? ?
For a while, some people were happy and some were worried.

It's like Van Gundy Jr. uncannily paraphrasing:
"Wow, Jiang Chao exceeded all our expectations, he didn't choose Hayward???

In the 2009-10 season, Paul George averaged 16.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game. His free throw percentage was outstanding, as high as 90.6%. He was selected as the best team in the Western Athletic League (WAC) Second team.

But in fact, just looking at the data, you may not be able to enter the lottery.

Because which NCAA top 16 team doesn't have players with such data? ?
Even the Knicks themselves were surprised, until after seeing George's excellent physical data, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

Downey Jr. showed Lao Lu and the others the player's scouting report:
"George: An all-round striker who can shoot with the ball and also has the ability to catch and shoot. The absolute speed is not outstanding, but the rhythm is not bad. The shooting after passing the screen of the inside teammate is particularly accurate, ranking second among small forwards in this year's class." (Note: The first Wesley Johnson officially selected by the Timberwolves)
Lao Lu and the others felt a bit mediocre after watching it. It was indeed the case. George was indeed not very powerful before he was dead, but after he entered the NBA, he became tough and became a "true" all-rounder. He is a combination of 3D + breakthrough.

At the scene, Hayward got up a little disappointed and hugged George next door to congratulate him. The Knicks fans also did not cheer so much.

As the commentary said, compared to George, Hayward is the best player of the year in this year's division and the most outstanding player in the Western Conference last year. His average of 17 points and 8 rebounds per game is also better than George's...

Anyone will think that Hayward is higher than George in the draft.

But since it is selected, there is no need to question it. The Knicks' forward defense problems in this year's playoffs have been exposed. It is very good to have a young and strong forward.

The video collection of pickled peppers was playing on the TV, and there were many scenes of stealing a dragon and dunking in a windmill, which is also a natural talent.

Hayward's agent called the Knicks management. The simple meaning is that you have forgotten the friendship between Hai Shuai and Jiang Chao on the Daming Lake. Hai Shuai indirectly helped the Knicks a lot.

This must have been blamed on Sean Marks and the others. They said that this was the management's decision and had nothing to do with Jiang Chao.

And they also 100% confirmed one thing to Hayward's agent.

That is the 17th pick. If no one chooses Hayward, the Knicks must choose!
"it is good!"

Hayward also took a small reassurance. In their hearts, the number of picks this year is not important. The important thing is to join the Knicks, and that is Hayward's destination.

It is estimated that after this year, their team also discovered that Hayward + Stevens can get together, so they only want to add the Knicks.

In addition, Jiang Chao is also well-known at Butler University. Everyone wants to continue their relationship with the Knicks. In that case, the entire Butler University will be a die-hard fan of the Knicks.

George, in a black suit, put on a Knicks hat and took the stage to shake hands with Stern for a photo.

However, his expression was much calmer than the others, as if he had expected it.

"Sure enough, it's all well communicated." The other teams also went directly to their own picks. There was news a week ago that George had never left New York, so it was normal to be selected.

It's just that many teams thought they would be the No. 17 pick. ,

"Thank you!"

When Paojiao finally saw her mother crying, she also cried. It turned out that she had been pretending to be strong before.

Yesterday morning, Sean Marks personally checked Pickle's crotch pullback for a dry-draw quick-fire jumper.

In the end, he made 50 of 47 shots and successfully passed the test. In fact, it has been declared that George is already a Knick.

Being selected now is the result of George's own efforts.

Jiang Chao, on the other hand, is already relieved. Their goal of the draft has been achieved. If they get the strongest man this year, I have the world!

I can't help watching the scene where George and James fight.

In the Knicks super chat group, Harden quickly pulled George in:

"Welcome new classmate!"

"Rookie! Next year you will carry a pink schoolbag for me." Curry joked.

"Small forward, comfortable!" Turk Drew could see the management's thoughts at a glance. George's physical measurement data has the meaning of swinging forwards and guards. This is to make up for their forward defense.

To be honest last season, wasn't Wade killed by Wade alone?

Yao Ming will come back next season, so there is no need to worry about the inside line, and there is nothing wrong with reinforcing a defender from the outside line.

Although Gallinelli thinks he can stand up, he still admires the management in his heart. He said that if he wants to win the championship, he will really make up for his shortcomings. Unlike some teams, they just choose what they like and don't consider the lineup at all.

For example, if there is already a ball-holding core in the team, and then a ball-holding core is brought in, how will the ball be divided? ?Positive and negative.

Some teams just choose the strong ones, which can be regarded as a kind of policy.

The draft is actually a game. Do you have some requirements for the team or the future value of rookies?

The championship playoff team that has some requirements on the team must check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

The draft method of the bad teams and some mid-range teams is basically to select the strongest and best among the remaining ones, so that there will never be a loss.

It’s just that this method of selection has great risks. The player’s style of play, personality and even family will be affected. People with long-distance families may leave after finishing their rookie contract.

The fans also understood Jiang Chao's choice after a rational analysis. In fact, it was not Hayward who shouted the loudest.

Because Monroe wasn't picked, they wanted Greg Monroe more!

To put it simply, this guy in the NCAA this year is a player who kills inside, the strongest player in the Big East, averaging 2 doubles per game, and his template is a bit like David Lee with better back-up skills.

But it has already been said that it looks like David Lee, and the Knicks have David Lee, so they definitely don't want Monroe.

"can."

"correct."

"It's impossible to defeat Jiang, George should be able to play a good role in attacking the tough!"

"I heard that he went back and forth with Harden one-on-one, and even guarded Harden a few times, which is not bad."

"Let's see what's next."

Here George happily went backstage with his parents and agent to wait, because the Knicks still have the No. 17 pick.

The upcoming draft is almost all expected.

The Pistons chose Monroe with the No. 9 pick, and the Hornets chose Cole Aldridge with the No. 10 pick...

Hai Shuai's palms and backs were sweaty, he was afraid that these happy teams would pick him, and after hearing the affirmation from the Knicks management just now, he just wanted to get to the 17th pick.

Finally, with the 16th pick, the Bucks selected the poet Sanders.

The option once again came to the Knicks.

No. 17!

Bird Bird pretended to call the Knicks and suggested that Bledsoe and Bradley were outside. These two are also good players with both offense and defense, so they have been giving the Knicks Amway.

And President Pu next door also raised his eyebrows and suggested that Sean Marks win Bledsoe, this is a blood cloth!James on the back line.

"You think we are stupid..."

Sean Marks didn't even need to ask Jiang Chao for instructions, and let the Timberwolves choose Gordon Hayward.

"Fine……"

Bird stuck out his tongue, and Hayward is considered the pride of Indiana. In their opinion, this is actually a bit of a favor. If a white forward falls into the hands of the Pacers, Bird will also be a must.

The Timberwolves also felt unexpected and expected.

Because Hayward and George are exactly the same height, and the wingspan is not much different, which means that two small forwards were selected in the first round. What's the point of this?

There must be human factors in the choice. It is said that Stevens was recommended by Hayward to Jiang Chao. The stories of these three people at Butler University were written and published by local students, okay? Look, a wild guess.

The league also thinks so. This year, as Hayward's personal performance and team record decline collectively, his pick is also dropping rapidly. It can be said that he was definitely in the top 10 for the election last year. There are really too many good strikers this year.

David Stern continued:
"The 17th pick, signed by the Timberwolves, traded to the Knicks, their choice is: Gordon Hayward from Butler University!"

"OK!"

"Wow!"

"Finally chose!"

"Here we come, handsome Hai!"

"Knicks Male Model Team!"

Hayward, in a light gray suit, combed his hair back, stood up and looked seductive, he hugged his family excitedly, and made a fist gesture to the camera:
"Thanks to the Knicks! Thanks to everyone!"

"As expected!"

There was faint applause in the background. The Knicks would pick Hayward is something that all teams have guessed. It can be found out from Jiang Chao's continuous trading of lower picks, and no one will intercept Hu.

Everyone knows that Hayward, a player, is all about the Knicks, so he doesn't mean that he is the one with top talent, just let him go.

What's interesting is that the Clippers owner Sterling suddenly made a call and asked Hayward for a few prices, saying that they like this player very much.

Jiang Chao shook his head shallowly, and Sean Marks understood what he meant, and Sterling refused.

Sterling and Jiang Chao looked at each other with a smile in the air, and they both had the same thoughts in their hearts.

white people.

handsome guy.

Ticket machine.

In the North American market, as long as there are white stars in the team, the attendance rate is very high, and although no one mentions it, it can still be seen that some bosses like white players very much.

For example, the Mavericks, Cuban, let white people be the core of the team from the beginning to the end. To put it nicely, he likes to shop for treasures in the international market...

It's just that he didn't get caught in the pigtails as sadly as Sterling later.

"Congratulations, your story with Stevens will continue."

On stage, David Stern put a Knicks hat on Hayward, who was a little immature and delicate.

Since then, the Knicks have selected both first-round picks in this round.

"The boss hasn't done anything this year."

"Yeah, I didn't operate during the draft, so I selected people normally."

"Two 2m strikers are getting bored!"

After entering the backstage, George stood at the door to greet Hayward, and the two Knicks' first-round picks this year also embraced.

This scene seems familiar, last year now, Harden Curry...

Last year it was double guard.

This year it's a double striker.

The reporters put these two pictures together for P:
Will these two become a new generation of 09 duo just like the 10 duo!
Down there, Cousins ​​looked a little envious for some reason. The Knicks have so many newcomers, it feels so good to play together.

It's just that there is no boss who dares to use all the Kentucky Five Tigers for a team, so they have the confidence to play the strongest chemical reaction.

Hot review first:

"The duo in 09 averaged almost 40 points per game. In the 10th round, the two picks were much behind. They should be more functional. But I am optimistic about the cooperation of these four players. I think one of them can play No. 4. bit!"

The most liked reply in the hot comment:

"I know you're talking about Harden!"

Butler University seems to have become the sight of the school celebration scene, with cheering boys everywhere.

Why Hayward's team is so excited.

because……

Even if the Knicks used the No. 17 pick, Hayward is the man with the highest pick in the history of Butler University, and he is also the pride of this school with more than 3000 people!
In the Knicks super chat group, Stevens head coach personally invited Hayward into the group.

More people are welcome than George.

No way, this can be regarded as the direct line of the head coach, and may even play more time than George!
"Gordon Hayward, because you are so handsome, you don't need to carry your schoolbag, just buy me popcorn in the future." The elementary school student started to be funny again.

"White people can fly too!! Welcome to the Knicks' fresh combat power!" Yi Jianlian replied.

YAO:

"Welcome newcomers, let's work hard next season!"

……

Then it was nap time, and several teams came to ask the Knicks for their opinions.

Jiang Chao sincerely suggested that the Thunder and the Spurs choose Jeremy Lin with the 20th pick or the second round.

It can be regarded as helping the Chinese boy.

It's just that people haven't chosen it all the time, who has nothing to do to choose a yellow guard, you have to choose yourself.

"believe or not."

Jiang Chao really doesn't know how to choose. If Jeremy Lin was a rookie last year, he would probably choose, but this year is impossible, and he can't arrange a guard.

With the 2nd pick in the second round, Yi Jianlian earned the Nets pick, and the Knicks chose Whiteside, a big center.

But the Knicks just chose him and didn't give them any guarantees, but Whiteside's professionalism is okay and he said he will prove everything.

The Knicks chose Stephenson with the 12th overall pick in the second round. Finsen danced on the spot, but he disliked being behind. Jiang Chao, who saw his expression in the background, said that he really needs to hone his character.

Jiangsu Men's Basketball Headquarters.

Head coach Hu Weidong has also been paying attention to this draft. When he saw Jiang Chao choosing these two players, he subconsciously felt that this seemed to be the person chosen for them? ?

It seems to make sense, one inside and one outside, just to complement the aging of Tang Zhengdong and Hu Xuefeng?
Looking at the data again, it seems to be true.

But why not choose Kyle Anderson?

From the perspective of the Chinese basketball community, naturalized players should not be selected first. If they are not in the Knicks, it will be difficult to play in the International Blue League.

And Hu Weidong even felt that Li Kaier was for the Jiangsu Men's Basketball Team.

Little did he know that the person Jiang Chao chose in the end was for the Knicks.

Sure enough, the 18th pick in the second round was also the only pick that the Knicks had been their own from the beginning.

Under Jeremy Lin's eager eyes, Jiang Chao chose Kyle Anderson, who graduated from high school.

This surprised the scene a bit, this is a well-deserved draft pick, and there are still a lot of NCAA famous players who will lose the draft!

"3 forwards, 1 defender, 1 center...do you put together a set of NBDL Development League starters?"

Knicks fans said that the games of the Development League will look good in the future, and they don't think that a player like Kyle Anderson, who has no characteristics, can be reused. It is obviously for the Development League to supplement.

Last year, because the Knicks had three players in the second round of the Knicks last year, all of them were bought mercenaries, such as Sun Yue. There are 3 rookies this year, and there must be a few of them who want to buy the bus of the Development League. Card.

Kyle Anderson breathed a sigh of relief, comfortable, and now he is a Knick.

His grandmother is the happiest in San Antonio. His descendants have forgotten their ancestors countless times. After so many years, they really want to do things for the Chinese!
The Basketball Association is completely relieved. Now that Li Kaier has been selected, the naturalization matter can also be signed directly. The next August will be the window period of the Turkey World Championships.

If Dayao doesn't play, and Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi don't necessarily play, they rely too much on this 19-year-old one-eighth naturalized player of Chinese blood.

With the 60th pick, the Suns selected Collins, and the draft ended successfully.

The Knicks once again harvested 5 rookies.

But this time the fans didn't complain. This time it was obvious that none of the second rounds were prepared for the home team. There were three forwards, and the home team had two small forwards. Kyle Anderson should be on the bench for a year.

In the eyes of fans, Whiteside will be Yao and Okur's substitute, and he will also waste time.

As for Stephenson...that's garbage time, he's a show, but can Curry and Harden show?

Jiang Chao stretched his waist and shook hands with Bird, the big bird next door.

For Jiang Chao, this year's draft conference is a complete happy ending. This operation has made him look wet, okay? !

"Max, George and Hayward, you still need to negotiate a 4+1 five-year rookie contract."

"As for the three in the second round, Kyle Anderson will give a two-way contract, and the other two will not give contracts for the time being. We will tell them where they will go after the free market opens." Jiang Chao actually communicated with the management just now.

Kyle Anderson got the NBDL affiliated league to practice on his own, and let him go to college in New York by the way.

The other two went to the CBA to receive the influence of the socialist iron fist, practice for a year and then give the contract. Anyway, they have already chosen, and the home team has always had the priority to sign.

Management also fully agrees.

Although I don't know if Jiang Chao did it on purpose, this year's signing is the same as last year's. Last year, he signed 5 guards, and this year he signed 3 small forwards.

But well.

There are only 3 forwards, what's the matter, five guards are not enough in the end, aren't they?

It's always right to be prepared!
And the real bloodbath is only now beginning.

After each team's draft, the sky over the free market is also clouded with lightning.

After the big fish waited and watched the teams' drafts this year.

It's finally time to open their options! !

is to bring talent to...

Still can't beat it? ?
