NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 367 The 2011 NBA Draft Opens, Jiang Chao’s God’s Perspective Ranking

The day before the draft.

The management of the league's 30 teams gathered in New York.

Angie, Logoman, and others naturally come out to eat and eat together. It is both a reminiscence and a test. Of course, the biggest name belongs to the owner of the Bobcats, Jordan. This year the Bobcats won the lottery. The new president of the company also wants to reproduce Jiang Chao's miracle.

And when many people overjoyed Jiang Chao's meal, Jiang Chao actually went to work this day.

In the morning, I went to record a new song with Wendy and Deng Ziqi, and then recorded it as a sample and submitted it to the Oscar Organizing Committee when everyone thought it was the best state.

Jiang Chao's seriousness is beyond everyone's imagination. He records one time at a time, and if he is not satisfied, he will immediately re-record.
Genius is 99% talent and 1% hard work, and this 1% is more diligent than 99% of ordinary people.

"No wonder Oppa is so fierce..."

"He does everything fiercely." Chu Long pouted his nose, and continued to work hard, who is afraid of anyone, the appearance of kneeling and surrendering on the bed that day was too embarrassing, he must pay back in his main business!

Then after submitting it, the Oscar passed in almost seconds. For a boss of this level, as long as he can sing without going out of tune, he can sing if he wants to!Still a big gimmick.

The Oscars are not Grammys. Originally, Super God Film and Television has many works nominated. What is it if their boss sings a 4-minute song? ? ?This kind of award presentation is just for traffic, otherwise it would not be broadcast live globally, so the organizer directly licked it and said that they would come to the rehearsal at any time and make way for everything.

But even so, Deng Ziqi and the others are half-dead with envy. Money really is omnipotent. Generally, those who can enter the Oscar singing must be the top 10 selling works in the United States. In the final analysis, they must be Grammy-level singers. You sing No matter how good you are, you have to have a resume.

Jiang Chao went there to sing without having any albums, this is the charm of money!

But the person in charge over there is more thinking about Jiang Chao's real TV stage debut. The organizers are not at a loss. If there is a car accident on the spot, it would be embarrassing for Boss Jiang himself. They don't believe that Jiang Chao's on-site level can reach the level sent This studio level.

If it's studio quality, let's be honest - it's kinda nice!

They have already released the wind that there is a mysterious singer who will sing live at the Oscars.

Here, Mao Buyi completely knelt down to Jiang Chao after knowing the news. Jiang Chao wrote this song for Okur, and it was all in English, which was too strong.

Everything, and everything is the most refined kind.

If it wasn’t for Mao Buyi who also posted the songs he created in the past few years on the Chaoshen Music app in the past few days and received a lot of praise, otherwise he would have resigned with low self-esteem. He joined Chaoshen Music as a creator. After seeing Jiang Chao's works, I feel that I don't need him anymore.

It is even more embarrassing to think about the role of a tool person who composes Jiang Chao's melody, and there are beautiful and cute beautiful bosses.

Now it seems that the only thing I can do is to write good songs and sell them well to generate income for the company, otherwise I will be sorry for my high salary.

"Ouba, are you really going to perform live on TV for the first time?" Wendy here is particularly interested in Jiang Chao's serious preparation this time, more interested than anyone in the draft.

Jiang Chao: "It's okay, Oscar is not a professional stage, I just want to use this platform to write a song for our Oscar-winning movies "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Pounding Heartbeat", and this song is also given to Okur, thank you for his contribution to us in the past two years."

"Ah?? You mean Okur God of War is leaving the team?"

"Nine times out of ten he should have left while I was singing."

"That's such a pity!" Pu Chulong and the others were shocked. This is an industry secret, but Jiang Chao said it so calmly, which also shows his absolute trust in his employees.

"There are always times when we get together and leave. This is very common in the NBA. It is too difficult to fix these 15 people every year."

Jiang Chao rubbed Chulong's head. Obviously, the new fans would not understand why everyone got along well and why they left, but in the NBA, everyone must accept this reality.

But in Chaoshen Group, there will be no:

"But don't worry, the group is no more impersonal than the NBA, we will be together forever!"

Seeing that everyone has some emo, Jiang Chao, who successfully recorded the song, took the girls to visit Chinatown the night before the draft, ordered a few dishes for dinner, and went to a luxury store to buy necklaces and jewelry for the girls. It is a kind of enjoyment, watching them hang your favorite jewelry on their bodies, it is full of sense of accomplishment.

Then Jiang Chao went to the Gold Coast Villa to take Long Team Wendy, Deng Ziqi, and Ouyang Nana for a yacht ride. After the sailing, everyone lived together in the single-family villa on the Gold Coast, and Jiang Chao continued to drive with unlimited energy. Deng played a ball and then soaked in the swimming pool to practice physical fitness.

When Xiao Longbao changed his jersey to play, Jiang Chao killed his basketball dream, and started playing infinitely...

In the evening, it was also the same posture, except that Jiang Chao was in the back and reversed, but the position of the hands was the same.

……

The next day.

The draft is open.

Jiang Chao didn't go to the venue, because he felt that waiting for 3 hours just to choose 2 people was too time-consuming. This year, he was still in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and he didn't want to go.

And it is very easy for him to select those two players. For him, this year's draft is just a process, and he already knows the result.

It's not as comfortable as watching the live broadcast while playing iron at home.

The girls have all gone to work, Lin Ziyu brought all the information and a short phone to communicate directly with the management, and will know the choice of the Knicks today!

It's true, everyone doesn't pay attention to who the Cavaliers choose and who the 76ers choose. Everyone wants to see who the newly promoted Knicks choose this year...

So Jiang Chao didn't go, but the people at the scene were nervous.

And when the camera came to the management, the fans started discussing.

"What's the situation? Jiang Chao didn't come?"

"Sean, where is Mr. Jiang Chao?"

"Jiang Chao didn't come to the draft? He gave up?"

"Won't you do any more flamboyant operations???"

"I heard that he was in the group all day yesterday, not in the team at all."

"Yes, he is still haunting Chinatown at night, it seems that the draft has nothing to do with him?"

"Wow, I'm a Knicks fan, I can't help it, Chaozi, you must know that your achievements in the past two years are all due to your superb performance in the draft two years ago."

"Yeah, without George as an agent substitute this year, the East may not necessarily be able to pass James."

"Boss Jiang swelled after winning the championship."

"Really! I just want to see him operate!"

"Drink water without forgetting the well digger!"

"Yeah, this boss won't think he can let go of the shopkeeper after winning the championship, right?"

"I'll be honest... it seems to be possible... mainly because the first 10 years of the Knicks were so bad..."

"Ahem, I just want the Knicks to be stronger next season!"

"How strong can it be? I think you can choose two at random. The Knicks' main players are all in their prime. Your typical emperor is not in a hurry to be an eunuch!"

"I think so too. The Knicks don't need rookie training right now. These 15 players are pretty good. They might not be able to get a contract after drafting the rookies."

"Yeah, not all the bosses of the other team came, what a fuss."

"You guys are suffering from Jiang Chao's addiction."

"I feel that some female fans want to see Jiang Chao. If they don't see each other for a day, what if they haven't defended themselves for a year?"

"Hey, hey, upstairs, although your words are not rough, but don't be so irritable, I'm a man, I also want to see Jiang Chao..."

General Manager Pu, Angie and others also looked at the Knicks management in the background. Although the Knicks had Max, Mustache, and Downey Jr., but Jiang Chao was not there, I always felt that there was less expectation.

Big Bird Bird even rushed to their table to question them. At that time, they agreed to be friendly and help each other, so don't be a shopkeeper.

"We don't know where the boss is now, maybe you can try to call him when you are about to sign your seat?"

Mustache laughed.

Bird immediately called Jiang Chao angrily, but he didn't answer. Jiang Chao was indeed guessed by Mustache. He muted his voice before the draft began. They now know Jiang Chao's character better.

Everyone in the Nets sitting in the front also had sweaty palms. Cai Chongxin said unconfidently: "Don't worry, Boss Jiang should remind us at critical moments. I have already given him our number."

Jiang Chao's failure to come this time really surprised the major managements. Is this really about to become a chaebol and let go of his son? This is a relief for some teams, and there should be a chance.

However, everyone at the scene congratulated with anticipation and admiration when they saw the Knicks management at the beginning. The Knicks in the circle are very excited to win the championship. It only takes two years to rebuild. Who else?
For many bad teams, they are also the beginning of reconstruction. The Knicks are their example!
Zhuyu is ahead, let's work hard together!
The other 29 teams are counting on this draft to turn around!
Danny Green at the end of the second round of the previous year was able to score 9 three-pointers at halftime. What other treasures can't be found? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This made Sean Marks and Mustache feel their waists straightened up a bit. This is the pride of being a Knicks management team. All out, but if you don't give it to the Knicks, even if you drive Howard, I won't give it out!
The Knicks' draft level is horrible. Who knows what future abnormal players will be selected by giving him a high pick?

This made Downey probably understand why Jiang Chao didn't come...

Without trading space, Boss Jiang Chao has no interest!

The year before last and last year, Jiang Chaoke traded up or down crazily. This year, it seems that there is a high probability that the Knicks will play with the two picks. So Jiang Chao can just choose the next one according to his expectations? ?
So it doesn't matter, the super boss will make a move!
But the expectations of fans and management are trivial, and Jiang Chao's influence on this rookie class is too great.

Several Knicks fans were also successfully slapped in the face after the live interview aired.

When Kemba Walker knew that Jiang Chao hadn't come, he wanted to cry with regret:
"I actually want to see the Knicks' operations, even if I go backstage and hug boss Jiang Chao once, I am from New York, and I like the Knicks' hard work this year!"

Klay Thompson of Washington Shield State University also touched his head to express his longing for the Knicks.

The Spanish player Mirotic, who is about 20 in the pick, even said that he wants to take over the class of agents. He likes the Knicks very much.

Bojan Bogdanovic, who is also an international player, had the most direct interview. He predicted the second-round pick and called Jiang Chao directly:
"Please read my scouting report, I am so looking forward to fighting with you!"

It can be seen that Jiang Chao's charm in the hearts of college players. Jiang Chao, who was doing bench presses in front of the TV, almost laughed out loud. This shit made him look like some idol team. Is it so attractive?
Can you have a little heart!
It's fun to challenge the Knicks!
However, there are also rookies who say they want to break out in the NBA, but without exception, the Knicks are not named. The teams and stars who want to challenge basically do not mention the Knicks.

It is estimated that they are all expecting the Knicks to select themselves in a sudden operation.

If you want to directly talk about challenges, you will cut your own way.

If you can't beat it, join Forever Dixiang!

No one will refuse to grow comfortably at a place with a high starting point!
With the appearance of David Stern, the champion was also directly announced.

Kyrie Irving, a point guard from Duke, was drafted by the Cavaliers! ! !

After seeing the start, Jiang Chao sent his pre-selected list to Sean Marks alone through Chaochao private chat.

One by one, the round goes to the back, and whoever is selected will be the next one.

The first one written is Irving. Over there, Max quickly crossed out the name, and it depends on who else can be selected at the 26th pick.

The boss only wrote 10 names in the first round, and only 1 name in the second round!
In Jiang Chao's view.

In fact, this year's rookies are very explosive. Compared with last year, there are 6 championship-level rookies, and even 5 core championship-winning members! ! ! !

Kawhi Leonard has 2 championships and even an FMVP.

Klay Thompson 4 times.

Owen 1 time.

Tristan Thompson 1 time.

Shumpert 1 time.

Norris Cole was selected by the Heat once!
Compared with the miserable situation of last year's draft where there was not a single champion member, this year is much better.

But looking at the names that David Stern reads out now, the first few picks are still stinky.

The No. pick is Irving, the No. is Derek Williams, and the third pick is Garbage Man Kanter.

Now it seems that the No. pick Irving is worthy of the name, and the second place and No. are inevitably a little more watery. Their actual performance is indeed a bit unsatisfactory, and later generations will be surpassed by many players with a lower draft pick.

As a time traveler, Jiang Chao already had a rearranged ranking.

The 2011 NBA draft was predicted by media experts to be a young draft year.

But as everyone knows, after just 10 years, 11 has become the most successful session in the new century after the 03 Platinum Generation and the 09 Draft, and none of the subsequent ones can surpass it.

Many stars or role players in later generations came from this draft, and the rookies of the 11th class have also become the mainstay of the league.

This is Jiang Chao's ranking for Max:
No. pick (the Knicks' first choice if given the chance): Irving

Career statistics: 23.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists
If the 2011 draft is rearranged, Irving will still be selected as the No. 2011 pick by Jiang Chao. When he first entered the league, Irving was already in the leading position among the players in the 18.5 class. He averaged 3.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and assists per game in his rookie season. A champion can do it.

In terms of honor, although Irving is not as good as Leonard, he was also a major contributor to the Cavaliers' reversal of the Warriors to win the championship in 2016. The breakthrough left a deep impression on the fans, and the title of champion is well-deserved.

Although Irving has various problems today, in terms of basketball skills, Irving's level is definitely top-notch. He is the best candidate for the No. 2011 pick in , and his style of play is a superstar.

No. : Leonard
Career statistics: 19.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists
Leonard was the 2011th overall pick in the 15 draft. As the youngest Finals MVP at the age of 21, this ranking still underestimates Leonard.

In the 2018-19 season, Leonard led the Raptors to win the NBA championship. This is the first time Leonard led the team to win the championship as the No.1 team after leaving the Spurs. The only player among them who won the championship + finals MVP is also the only player among the 2011 players who is called a superstar.

Tanhua was ranked third by Jiang Chao, but in fact Max and the others thought why this person had such a high ranking in Jiang Chao's heart.

That is the toughest man.

Butler!
Career statistics: 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists
Butler's draft ranking in his previous life was a bit outrageous. He was actually the 30th pick in the first round.

But Butler, who just entered the league, did perform very mediocrely, and no one expected him to explode.

2014-15赛季，巴特勒经历三个赛季的热身之后，终于迎来了大爆发，场均数据从新秀赛季的2.6分1.3篮板0.3助攻一路飙升至20.0分5.8篮板3.3助攻，并且一直保持了八年之久。

In the 2021-22 season, Butler led the Heat all the way, leading the team to the Eastern Conference finals with super personal ability, showing the demeanor of a superstar. Although he failed to have the last laugh, Butler has proved himself. Ability.

Throughout his career, Butler was selected to the All-Star 6 times, to the All-Defensive Team 5 times, to the All-NBA Team 4 times, and won 1 steals title. Although he has no championship or MVP, it is enough to make him famous in the NBA.

Therefore, if the 2011 draft is rearranged, Butler will definitely be among the top three.

Fourth place: Klay Thompson

Career statistics: 19.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists
Thompson was the 2011th pick in the 11 draft, and his personal ability is not bad, but he also has a stronger team. He has won 11 championships in his 4-year career, and he can be called the most successful player in the 2011 class.

Thompson has a very strong explosive power. He once scored 37 points in a single quarter and 60 points in a single game.

So ranking Thompson 11th is indeed a bit of talent.

Fifth place: Kemba Walker
Career statistics: 19.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists
Walker was the ninth pick in the 2011 draft. Obviously, this term is too low.In terms of personal ability, Walker's performance is only inferior to Irving and Leonard in the same draft.

In the 11 seasons of his career, Walker has averaged 5+ points per game in 20 seasons. He is an All-Star player.

Sixth place: Harris

Career statistics: 16.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists
Harris was the 2011th pick in the 19 draft. His career was also very inspirational. He averaged only 5.0 points and 2.4 rebounds per game when he first entered the league. Through unremitting efforts, he is now the core force of the team, with an average of 19 points per game. 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

If Harris can have more powerful athletic talent, speed and explosive power, and strengthen his low-post ability and shooting stability, his career will definitely go to a higher level.

Seventh place: Thomas

Career statistics: 17.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists
Thomas Jr. was the last pick in the 2011 draft. He is only 175cm tall. His ranking may be affected by his height, but he has completed a super counterattack.

In the 2016-17 season, Thomas averaged 28.9 points per game, known as the strongest 175 on the surface, and he was also the top five in the MVP list, the king of the fourth quarter...

And later, Thomas became a league bum. He hadn't retired yet but felt that he was about to be forgotten. The little man who was commonly called Thomas Jr. was 33 years old.

Although Thomas Jr. was a flash in the pan, Jiang Chao thought he was still incredible and ranked him as the only player to be selected in the second round.

Not for anything else, because he will definitely be selected in the second round, and the young coach is extremely good at using him! ! !Regardless of whether it has a long-term effect on the Knicks, it must be a valuable gem. This is the so-called principle of picking the best from the rest.

Eighth place: Vucevic
Career statistics: 16.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists
Vucevic was the 2011th pick in the 16 NBA Draft, but the 76ers were not optimistic about him. He was sent to the Orlando Magic shortly after the selection, but the Magic regarded him as a "beautiful jade" and sent him Cultivate as a key figure.

In the second season, he was able to score 13.1 points and 11.9 rebounds. He is the inside general that the Magic rely on most.

In the following years, Vucevic continued to improve. In the 2014-2015 season, he was able to score 19.3 points and rebounds at 10.9, which is also very good.

But Jiang Chao doesn't know why. Vucevic's presence in the NBA is very low. It may be because of his personality and too few dunks, but he is absolutely okay to be ranked eighth.

Ninth place: Bogdanovic
Career statistics: 14.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists
Bogdanovic was the first pick in the second round of the 2011 draft. He is from Croatia. After being selected in the NBA, he officially entered the league in the 14-15 season. He has only 8 seasons in his career.

It has to be said that Bogdanovic also grew up from a substitute player and eventually became a capable player of the team. In the 2019-20 season, his scoring increased from 9 points in his rookie season to 20 points, which is a great improvement.

Jiang Chao actually had an idea when he saw that Bo Yang said that he wanted to take over from the secret agent. At seven times, Bo Yang, Jordan scolded his mother, but he had Butler before his pick. If he had Butler, he should choose Butler. Bo Yang will reach the age of 30+ in the end. After that, none of the agents passed the ball when they first entered the league.

Tenth place: Valanciunas

Career statistics: 13.4 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists
Valanciunas was the fourth pick in the 2011 draft, but judging from the actual performance, this draft pick is a bit high.

The peak of Valanciunas' career came after he left the Raptors in the 2018-19 season.After Jiang Chao traveled through the first two seasons, Varan averaged a double-double of 17+10 per game, and it was very stable and reached a new height in his career.

What Valanciunas lacks is honor. In the 10 seasons of his career, he has no other honors except for being the best rookie of the month and the best rookie second team.

Of course, if it wasn’t for Max, Jiang Chao would still have an inside double-double like Tristan Thompson in his heart. TT and Irving were selected by the Cavaliers in the same year, and then gradually secured the Cavaliers’ starting inside position and won the championship in 2016. played an important role during the period.

Throughout his career, he averaged 9.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
Despite the constant off-court scandals, it is still a stable double-double machine.

But it was because of his constant scandals that Jiang Chao didn't want him to join the team. It's better for their team to be clean.

I would rather Harden, who was played to death by women, than TT, who played with women to death...

So if the order is arranged, Sean Marks will not have any worries, and whoever is not selected at the 26th pick will be selected according to the order.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Chao posted a laughing and crying emoji in the Chao chat group.

"Boss is making a move!" Downey Jr. secretly glanced at the ranking on Max's mobile phone at the scene, and was shocked in his heart. How can a 175 shorty make it into the top 10? ? ?Wouldn't that be as good as Nate Robinson, the boss of the Four Heroes who blocked the door who was kicked out the year before?

Jiang Chao also turned on the volume of his phone when David Stern called for the No. 4 pick. What if there is a chance to pick up a bargain?

Unexpectedly, it was Popovich who called first, and there were noisy quarrels on the phone...

"JIANG, I have a question to ask you, can I?"

　Now think about it, the draft in 11 is really bad. Someone wrote a wave of bosses who started in 11, and directly selected all five positions in a wave, and five rookies started the new season, haha.Irving + Thompson + Leonard + Harris + Varan.
