NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 369 Mo Gou Must Be Disgusted
"The Knicks are finally operating normally."

"Yeah, I actually hope that our home team will not learn from the Knicks. The draft is to select players with peace of mind and not to trade so many."

"I think Popovich will definitely regret it. There are so many strikers this year, but he has to go to Hill to change one. Can't the 29th pick also select a striker..."

"What is this Jimmy Butler pretending to be, and calling out to the Knicks management..."

"Maybe just choose one to stock up at random."

"Yeah, just like last year's Stephenson and Da Baibian, let other leagues train them first."

"Although the Knicks' five-man contract has expired, the Knicks can at least renew four. If Okur and Yao Ming don't demand high salaries, they can sign all five."

"I think so too. This year, the Knicks can completely replace the rookies and renew the contracts of the veterans for another two years!"

"Yeah, this lineup is not aging, I think Dayao can feel wronged and stay in the Knicks with a basic salary."

"I am a Rockets fan. Although I really want Yao to return to the Rockets and continue to shine and even retire in the Red Rockets, the Knicks brought him the championship. In the end, Yao's long article also touched us, so we still stay in the Knicks." Well, the place where you feel comfortable is the best."

With a report by a TNT reporter, the Knicks' draft method has been questioned again.

That is, Jimmy Butler never met with the Knicks management team before he was selected, let alone Jiang Chao. He only came to New York twice, and once was a joint trial training held by Max, with about 40 people During the inspection in Madison, he played very average at that time.

The second time is now.

So he was chosen by the Knicks to guess that he was the most surprised. This reporter reported that Jimmy Butler had the most contact with the Bulls and the Heat...

"If you can't learn from the Knicks, it's crazy!"

"You're playing coquettishly again, can this be typed out??"

"This short-handed and short-legged one is not strong."

"As we all know, seniors don't participate in the draft, and they are generally not particularly wanted by NBA teams."

Although Scarlett, a big Knicks fan, didn't expect it to be Jimmy Butler, she still wanted to hate it: "Duncan likes it!"

But in fact, the big names in the management at the scene had the same idea.

Although Jimmy Butler came to the scene, many people were not optimistic about him.

After the Knicks selected, many managements immediately looked to the scouting report.

The scouting reports for the Spurs and Celtics read:
"Height is 2 meters, wingspan is 01 meters, and standing height is 2 meters. He serves as a small forward/guard. Advantages: not bad physical fitness, tough style, and strong defense."

"Weaknesses: Relatively speaking, the wingspan is still a bit short, which is likely to restrict his output on the defensive end.

His skills are rough and his offensive skills are single. It is unrealistic to expect him to use offense to carry the team forward.His projection is not stable enough, his vision is not wide enough, and he is easily emotional and has a bad temper. "

Thunder scouts also evaluated his future ceiling, whether he can stay in the NBA for a long time is a question mark.Has the potential to be a qualified NBA rotation role player.

Mr. Pu even thinks that Jiang Chao may have follow-up actions? ?Otherwise, why choose another striker?
"He can only be selected with this pick, which is quite satisfactory." Angie and others commented that Jiang Chao's draft this season should be magical. The advantage may be his mental attributes.

Judging from the family environment, Butler has endured a lot of ridicule and contempt since he was a child, and even his closest relatives dismissed him and abandoned him.

Butler doesn't care about these, he turns doubts into motivation.

Holding back his energy, he wanted to prove himself, which is why he made it to this year's draft.

He was still selected by a championship team like the Knicks at the end of the first round! !
The rest of the players looked enviously, and some agents and players were taunting and sneering. Butler has long been familiar with this kind of questioning.

Backstage, Butler ushered in a handshake with D'Antoni. He excitedly put on the Knicks' orange cap and moustache and hugged him, and asked in his ear:

"Coach D'Antoni, Boss Jiang Chao wants me, right?"

D'Antoni is also an old fox, and he directly started talking:
"Huh? We all want you, welcome to the Knicks!"

"I will try to do everything."

"Well, feel free to work hard here."

In the office, Liu Yan's Knicks official website team also put up an advertisement welcoming Butler to the Knicks, which obviously told everyone that Butler would not be traded, and the Knicks just wanted to draft him.

The ones who are nervous at the moment are George, Hayward and Kyle Anderson, and there is another striker. This striker rotates 4 people and then + starter Turk Drew, five people? ? ?

"This is the boss wanting to encourage you to work hard!" Zhang Mingji said earnestly while watching the live broadcast with Anderson in the Modu training hall.

Kyle Anderson, who is a manager with Yao Ming, nodded emphatically.

In their view, if the boss chooses a small forward again, he is not satisfied with them, so they can't rest this summer.

The same is true for Hayward. He was playing League of Legends and went platinum. He hung up the phone and went off the assembly line to get the ball to practice.

Young Marshal: "It's hard to take a vacation, don't CUE!"

"Boss, you are safe and secure, and I am still fighting for rotation!"

"Give me a suggestion, go train with George, when you can beat him, you won't be afraid,"

"Row!"

Here Jiang Chao is already imagining the scene of playing the dead five forwards in the future.

In the future small ball era, strikers like Butler will always be in demand. He naturally knows that the fans are indifferent to the Knicks' choice this time, and the enthusiasm is obviously not enough.

But it turned out that Butler was successful later on.

He is not the penniless and mediocre role player in the scouting report. He counterattacked and became an All-Star player, was selected to the best defensive team, and became the core that can play his own role.

After Butler entered the NBA, he has been making progress. Not only can he beat opponents with scoring on the offensive end, but he can also pass the ball for his teammates.On the defensive end, he is a ruthless character that opponents don't want to meet.

In the 2019-20 season, Butler exploded in the playoffs. He averaged 22.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1.95 steals per game. He led the team all the way through, beating the Bucks and the Celtics, making it out of the East and advancing to the Finals , Hardened the Lakers led by James Thick Eyebrows.The performance is very good.

In the regular season, he also averaged 21.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

14年最快进步球员、20赛季抢断王、6次全明星、4次最佳三阵，5次最佳防守二阵，这些数据可比前面榜眼的德里克威廉姆斯、莫里斯兄弟等人要厉害太多了。

Moreover, in Jiang Chao’s view, the difference between him and other small forwards in later generations is that he seldom takes three-pointers unless necessary, and they all play aggressive offenses. strength and body control.

Shooting is very confident at the critical moment, and the mid-range shot is very lethal.

Coupled with the fact that he is not selfish in playing, and he is able to assist his teammates to score, this is completely enough, and now the Knicks still have a little less mid-range shots.

And as the commentator said, this is a player who plays with great passion, no matter whether he is tough off the court or not, as long as he is tough enough on the court.

ESPN also released an interview with Butler just now during the gap between the draft:

"Hello, Jimmy, what would you like to say about being selected by the Knicks with the 26th overall pick?"

Butler, who was born in Houston, Texas, crossed his hands in a suit and had moist eyes:
"I have always been a fan of YAO, I can be teammates with Yao Ming, I am very excited!!"

After that, the Nets also successfully selected the striker Bojanovic recommended by Jiang Chao.

Bojan was shocked, not expecting another New York team to pick a striker.

Is this to find a substitute for Anthony? ? ? ? ?

However, the media still released the interview video of him wanting to join the Knicks in a funny way, and accompanied it with the text:

"Dreams come true, Bogdanovic gets drafted by New York team, but not Knicks..."

Life is full of ups and downs, but Bo Yang embraced Cai Chongxin warmly in the background, it’s not bad to stay in a big city!

After the Spurs chose guard Corey Joseph, Jiang Chao nodded.

The thorn honeys also stopped questioning.

This obviously shows that the Thorns have a plan. They replaced a forward with a guard, and chose a point guard at the end of the first round to retrain, which makes sense.

"It means that the fuel tank of the sports car can run for a few more years." Jiang Chao and Parker teased in the super chat.

The French supercar who was embracing the beauty scolded her directly:
"Hey, I'm only 29 years old this year!"

"No wonder you're so energetic."

"Go, go, enjoy your championship go!"

While chatting awkwardly, a phone call came, and it was Geoff Patrini, the president of the King's Basketball Operations Department.

There is no such thing as impenetrable news in the NBA.

What Geoff Patrini means is that he probably knows that the Nets, the Spurs, and even the Pacers who are forcing the king have consulted Jiang Chao about the draft.

The Kings are a mediocre team, and Geoff Patrini himself is also a rookie president who has just renewed his contract for one year, so he also wants to choose "hugging his thighs."

"Hungry...is this okay?"

It is hard for Jiang Chao to imagine that he has become such an existence, but in fact, the president of the King is very smart. If it develops normally, the Knicks have not won a championship for many years, and the King has not made the playoffs for many years. Same uniform set.

But obviously Jiang Chao has no desire to communicate with him now, because you want to be a white wolf without giving good things.

Thought I was Chinese 100 years ago?
Purely think that we Chinese are kind-hearted, kind-hearted, talkative, and will take the initiative to show kindness, so we want to make friends? ?

I'm sorry, but I'm a young man in the new era, so I don't have anything to talk to me about?
But Geoff Patrini is a nice guy to say:

"If you don't mind, we will be in the west in the future, and you will be from Jiang Chao's family..."

Not to mention this, ordinary people will be very useful to hear it, and give them some information.

But Jiang Chao knows that there are no permanent friends in the NBA. If you really face each other in the playoffs or in the regular season, no one will ignore your kindness.

In other words, if the Nets and Knicks meet in the playoffs, Cai Chongxin will be more ruthless than Jiang Chao. All NBA teams are wolves, and they all want to eat other teams.

And just listen to this kind of business bragging, Jiang Chao, who knows? ?
You are not like Tyronn Lue who was trained by the Knicks for 2 years.You must know that President Pu and RC Buford have said this before. They don't know whether the players introduced by Jiang Chao are good or not, but they always feel that Jiang Chao's confident tone is trustworthy.

It's a good thing that the league is full of his connections 20 years later, but it's not what you say.

"We will choose the 6th pick in the second round later, Boss Jiang, please help me with some suggestions."

"Let me give you some advice..." Jiang Chao glanced at the rest of the list and suddenly thought of something.

Jiang Chao did a little favor to the king here, and the gift of roses has a lingering fragrance in his hands. What if the king loses the contract in the future to fill the ghost line?

So the suggestion he gave was to choose a forward with the No. 6 pick in the second round, and the name of Chandler Parsons is the best.

Or if this year is the year of the striker, the rich and handsome Chandler Parsons turned out to be the 5th pick in the second round...

In his previous life, he was selected by the Rockets with the 8th pick in the second round, and Jiang Chao knew very well what happened afterwards. Gao Fushuai played super worth, but he will never be a playoff player.

It's just that he is absolutely awesome in the regular season, and the Kings should see how awesome this guy is.

"Thank you, thank you!!! I will choose right away!"

To be honest, the second round was pure Taobao. It was better to listen to what Jiang Chao said than to choose his own bastard.

And what Jiang Chao thought of was that Parsons beat the Rockets to a bunch of new fans. He must be disgusted by Pomogou. Geoff Patrini is not hypocritical at least. Every sentence is not digging a hole, and has been blacklisted by Jiang Chao long ago.

But the second round is really fun, last year he was on the same ladder as the Golden Bomber with Hayward)-Kel Singler fell to the third pick in the second round this year and was selected by the Pistons.

He who has been waiting in the little green house until now looks bewildered.

You must know that last year he was still competing with Hayward for the strongest white athlete in the NCAA.

Hayward can be selected by the Knicks in the first round, so of course he can.

And this year he was selected in the second round despite the expectations, which is not very embarrassing.

So it's not hard to understand why Hayward is so anxious. This year's striker year, Singler can only play in the second round, so the opponent he will face this year is stronger, and he needs to train faster!

Then the Nets' second-round pick Jiang Chao didn't give any advice. They chose a power forward Jordan Williams with the 36th overall pick.

Jiang Chao knew about him, because this is one of the rubbish operations of the richest man in Russia. He went to a foreign league after playing for one season, which is not at the NBA level at all.

And when it came to the eighth pick, the Kings also successfully selected the fair-looking small forward Chandler Parsons, the head star of the University of Florida.

The University of Florida lost to Butler University, Hayward's alma mater, in the NCAA round of this year, so his draft prediction has not been very high.

But the rocket side is obviously blown up, I'll wipe it!

Mogou looked at the Kings management viciously, and Geoff Patrini just happened to meet Mogou's eyes. He was relieved when he saw that many teams looked at him with strange eyes.

This is obviously what they want to choose.

Comfortable!

"Boss, this wave of Jiang Chao helped us." Geoff Patrini directly helped Jiang Chao to claim credit for the king's boss who sells chips.

"No problem. They Chaochao once consulted about our company. I will answer them and provide technical assistance."

"OK!" Geoff Patrini was already looking forward to Parsons' performance.

Isn't it the year of the pioneer, let's take a look together! ! ! !
"Speaking of which, I am already looking forward to what position the Knicks will choose at the end of the second round!"
