NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

Chapter 426 Sudden Deal!Brother Chao let you go at Christmas, and never leave you until New Year's Day
"Klay Thompson???"

"I'll go...it's never been mentioned."

After Jiang Chao mentioned this name, the two members of the coaching staff were stunned. You must know that Jiang Chao never mentioned this name on the phone during the draft. ?
Or do you think this Klay Thompson has played out now? ? ? ?
But they couldn't ask any more questions. Sean Marks nodded. He just followed what the boss said. Could Jiang Chao's choice be wrong?Asking more is disrespectful to the boss.

"Boss, wait for our good news at Christmas."

"Well, thank you everyone." Jiang Chao took a deep breath, got up and asked the bodyguards to prepare the car and go to the airport. "Please Answer 1988" is about to be filmed in Kimchi, and Pu Chulong, who plays the role of the older sister, is about to leave. Talk to her about the attention points of the show.

After Jiang Chao left, the three members of the team did not go back to their respective homes, but were puzzled in the cafeteria...

Sean Marks brought a bottle of orange juice to the young marshal, sat down and said:
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I never thought that the boss would say this person's name."

Later, D'Antoni brought a plate of Chinese-style peanuts and said with a frown:

"Me too, Klay Thompson... It stands to reason that it would be better to have a point guard."

The person who has the most say here is Sean Marks, who is familiar with the major lottery games every year. The Warriors and Knicks haven’t met each other this season, so the two coaches don’t know much about the Warriors’ lottery picks this year, but Jiang Chao I mentioned such a person alone, so I have to have a little chat with Sean Marks.

Compared with Jiang Chao's decision to trade Thomas Jr., they are more concerned about the players they want to exchange for!

After all, the players Jiang Chao wanted to change to were not unsuccessful!

Needless to say, if you want to kick it away!

Sean Marks expressed some of his views in the expectant eyes of the two:
"The boss's thinking always makes me feel exaggerated!"

His subconscious feeling is that the first is that it cannot be changed, and the second is that it is unnecessary.

One is that the Warriors completely rebuilt after replacing the old Nelson. Thompson, the 11th pick in the first round this year, became the Warriors' starting shooting guard directly after being selected. He is now averaging 12.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Considering the starting shooting guard of other teams, his average time per game is only 23.4 minutes, that is, if Kobe's playing time is changed, his average per game data may be similar to Kobe's, which is not bad.

This kind of starting rookie is generally not shot by the team. People put lottery picks in the starting lineup for the purpose of training. You want to switch in the first year. What kind of plane are you doing?

Moreover, Thomas Jr. has only 4 games with highlights, and there are too few comparisons. I can only say that I hope he will not hit the rookie wall or have a particularly outrageous garbage performance before Christmas, otherwise the Warriors will not even look at you.

And why don't you say...

Because in the eyes of Sean Marks, isn't this Washington Shield State University's scoring leader the flip North Carolina captain Danny Green?The talent is not outstanding, and the dunks are not fierce. The draft template is their Knicks' Danny Green, and Danny Green is doing well as Harden's substitute now, and he is also a 3D player in his prime.

Pick him over to compete with Danny Green?It's not necessary or interesting, Grimm's fairy tales are much more fragrant than this kind of rookie.

"Ah? Then what does the boss want him for? I see his photos are white and tender, and he has no muscles. The template is Danny Green. It will take at least 3 years to reach Danny Green." After listening to Sean Marks, the young marshal After saying that, he was puzzled.

You must know that Danny Green is 24 years old now, he is at the beginning of his peak, and he is also a 3D player thoroughly cultivated by the Knicks. If he is to find his substitute, he will have to be trained at least three or four years later.

This kind of top 3D without the ball, he is not willing to change for 3 Thompsons.

But the mustache said:

"Is there a possibility that this young man is stronger than Danny Green in the eyes of Boss Jiang Chao?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

In order to convince them, Sean Marks directly showed the scouting report made by the Knicks during the draft.

Klay Thompson: Washington Shield State University.

In his freshman year, he averaged 12.5 points per game. In his sophomore season, Klay Thompson averaged 19.6 points per game, ranking second in the Pacific Ten, becoming the third fastest player in school team history to reach 1000 points.

The junior averaged 21.6 points per game and became the leading scorer in the Pacific 733. The total score of 2011 points in the season set a record in team history, ranking third in the team's total scoring list. In the Pacific Ten Championships, Thompson made 8 three-pointers and scored 43 points to set a tournament record.

"He got the 11th pick, a big factor is that he scored 8 three-pointers this time."

Barefoot height: 197 cm
Weight: 93 kg
Armspan: 2 meters 06
Bounce in place: 67 cm
Take off from the spot and touch the height: 330 cm
Approach bounce: 87 cm
Run-up touch height: 3 meters 43
84 kg max bench press: 5 reps

"It's really not too good, but it seems to be okay when you add it up." Mustache is well-informed, read the data column expressionlessly, and directly looked at the analysis column below.

Full score in shooting, excellent defense, and a failing grade!

Template: Danny Green.

Pros: Off the ball, strong shooting ability, excellent height and wingspan.Stable outside shooting ability and excellent off-ball ability, coupled with excellent defensive striker ability.

The latter is obviously an analysis report made by Downey Jr.

Thompson's biggest advantage is his shooting ability. He is an extremely good shooter and has rich outside offensive ability. The mid-range shot is as stable as the three-pointer. The shooting rate is very high. The shooting posture is also a textbook-like standard, which helps him. Has been able to maintain stability in terms of projection.

This is a young man who unexpectedly does not occupy the possession of the ball. He runs quite actively without the ball. After running, he can directly catch the ball and complete the shot. His movements are simple and there are no redundant movements.

The use of pick-and-roll tactics is very good, and he often uses this tactic to create his own shooting space, which is a bit like Curry of our Knicks.

Clay also has a good offensive ability with the ball. He can attack and score with the ball under unfavorable circumstances. He should have the potential to become the league's top shooter.

Then there are the disadvantages:
1. The biggest disadvantage is athletic talent. I can't jump high, I can't run fast, and my movement speed on the field is slow. I often suffer from speed players.Therefore, in terms of fast attack, the performance is average, on the contrary, the positional warfare will perform quite well.

2. Poor physical confrontation ability. When encountering defenders with excellent athletic ability and physical advantages, they often perform unsatisfactorily. The finishing ability at the basket needs to be improved.

3. Lack of organizational ability. He is often organized on the court. His dribbling ability is average. When someone needs to organize an attack on the court, he often performs unsatisfactorily, but his tactical execution ability is very active.

……

The biggest shortcoming mentioned in it is the unqualified one mentioned above, and the ball control ability is not up to standard.

Thompson's personal scoring ability is very strong, but he has a very obvious ability defect, that is, poor ball handling ability, and he often misses the ball when dribbling in the game.So Thompson knows his flaws, and rarely takes possession of the ball and dribbles.

But these three people don't know, only Jiang Chao knows that this guy scored 11 points by relying on 60 dribbles. If you tell everyone about this now, no one will believe it!
Thompson’s scouting report during the draft still evaluated his personal ability objectively. Although his personal scoring ability is very strong, his dribbling ability is not good and he can’t control the ball, so he is destined not to be the star of the team , and positioning as a 3D star can maximize his personal ability, which also allowed him to be selected with the 11th overall pick. The Warriors hope that he will become the strongest 3D star in the future.

"It's okay. Anyway, if Thomas can be traded, we will definitely make money. There is no harm in keeping tall defensive players."

The two coaches basically understood after reading the draft report, and left after eating and drinking.

Downey Jr.'s report was quite accurate, but the eyes of the three people in front of him must have limitations.

But Jiang Chao, who hugged and bid farewell to the Long team at the airport, was much more than they expected. He was already looking forward to Beverly+Hayward+Thompson+Butler+George's back line. Kobe+James is enough for them Drink a jug!

37 points in a single game, 3 points in 61 quarters, the best 3D off-ball player in the future, this is not bragging, this is proved by championship rings.

If Jiang Chao read this draft report, he would feel that he did a good job, except that his defense was underestimated.

The doubts of the three high-level executives are also normal. When Tang Shen entered the NBA in 2011, the entire league's style of play was still in a positional style similar to that of the Lakers and Mavericks.

Who would have thought that a few years later, the Warriors who had finished running in would win a championship with simple shooting.

Small lineups are popular, and the league's style of play has also begun to evolve from outside projection.

Thompson's advantages in the scout report at this time were undoubtedly revealed, and his shortcomings happened to be hidden because of the team's tactics. The Warriors needed him to be an off-ball player who did not occupy the ball, and his tactics were executed very well.

Tang Shen's ability to shine in the Warriors is definitely not luck. The combination with Curry perfectly complements each other's shortcomings, and naturally becomes an indispensable piece of territory for the championship.

And Curry is already in the Knicks' formation!

The reason why Jiang Chao only mentioned this player is because the Splash Brothers are like a bond. It is hard for you to imagine what will happen when two historical T0-level shooters get together! !

So Jiang Chao couldn't help but want to see the Splash Brothers take the league by storm!
No, the Knicks now have a bunch of three-pointers on the team, maybe they will become the Tsunami Brothers, with both offense and defense!
A week later.

Two storms blew up in New York.

One is Jeremy Lin of the Nets. He played 2+17 in two consecutive games. He played very well in the second team. He was named and praised by the All-Star player Stoudemire. It's a bit Lin crazy. After all, this is the development of the Knicks. The Knicks didn't discover last year's undrafted picks in the league. After being introduced to the Nets, they shined and became more story-telling.

The other is that Thomas Jr. succeeded in rushing to the second rotation guard in the Knicks. In the most recent game, he replaced Curry in the first quarter!

In other words, Beverly fell out of favor, oh no, was dropped to the second round! !
And he has handed over good offensive data, plus he has the boss's "shangfang sword", Thomas Jr. enjoys the limelight and spreads everywhere that I am a person under the boss's cover, and I will do everything ! !

Beverly wanted to play tricks on him and asked him to carry his schoolbag, but Thomas Jr. just threw it away. If Howard and Yao Ming were not among the peacemakers, the two almost got into a fight.

But Beverly's response was to stay up all night and train wildly:

"Have you ever seen Manhattan at 4 in the morning?"

It became a hot topic on Twitter all of a sudden... The time lost by fans jokingly made up for it on Twitter.

The atmosphere in the Knicks team is already a bit wrong. Thomas Jr. is too jumpy, and his ability is his ability, but his temper is wrong, and it feels like no one can control it.

That is to say, the Knicks players have a good temper. The biggest player, Howard, plays by himself after playing, so he doesn't care about the team members. He doesn't have much leadership on the court. Besides, Thomas played well. It's also easy, and he is not in the same position. He is even a little happy that he has exploded recently. Who doesn't want his teammates to be strong.

But people in the same position can't stand it anymore. Curry Harden has talked with the young coach D'Antoni, including coach Kerr, but the coaching staff is fine, he is like that, don't worry about it, Made the players dumbfounded.

And Sean Marks and Jiang Chao on the top are nowhere to be seen at all, which has encouraged Thomas Jr. to say that Jiang Chao's boss will vigorously cultivate his ethos this season.

This made the players just let it go. At worst, they went back to their respective homes after the game, and they didn't want to see Thomas Jr. pretending to be so aggressive.

……

Another week passed.

12 month 15 day.

Knicks away VS Bucks.

The Knicks released the news the day before the game that Curry had a truce due to an ankle injury and took a tactical break.

This day is bound to be remembered by Knicks fans, because with Curry not playing, Coach Stevens put Thomas Jr. on the Knicks starter for the first time!
First start!

A last pick in the second round, who was put into the starting lineup before halfway through the season? ?
Off the charts! ! !
Thomas Jr., who got the news an hour before the game, almost jumped to the ceiling to celebrate. It was Dayao who reminded him to celebrate after the game.

But the Bucks are also the real deal.

小托马斯里突外投各种buff加成狂砍35分12助攻3抢断0篮板3失误！！！首发带队取胜！！

All of a sudden refreshed various records, was blown into 175 Jordan and so on......

directly shocked the major media.

Jiang Chao and the Knicks coaching staff were blown to the sky, and the media also officially published the headline as an admission that this is the strongest 175 on the surface, and Nate Robinson even posted a compliment.

Iverson, the representative of the short guard who has not had news for a long time, told reporters that he is the benchmark for short players in the future, and all young people with basketball dreams should learn from him!
Stevens, who gave Thomas Jr. 35 minutes of playing time, smiled after the game, everything is under control! ! !

If you don't get high scores and high assists, the old foxes of other teams won't be tempted.

The first few games have been ten or twenty points, not ruthless enough.

This round directly brushed to 30+! !
It's up to Sean Marks! !
And Sean Marks has actually been receiving offers from the tank team these days, because they don't need immediate combat power for a bad team. They need a young future like Thomas Jr., so they are very eager to sell the veteran in their hands. Even adding the first round will do.

But Thomas Jr. never responded, even with the Warriors in it.

It wasn't until today that Thomas Jr. started the first battle and made Curry want to call Li Ge on the hospital bed. He took the initiative to contact the general manager of the Warriors, and he was also a familiar opponent Wright two years ago.

Sean Marks glanced at the calendar.

yell.

Coincidentally.

The next game is to play the Warriors away.

Isn't this an on-site inspection?

Brother Chao will let you go at Christmas, and will never keep you until New Year's Day.

it's time!

Call:
"Hey, old friend, long time no see, what do you say, are you interested in Little Thomas?"

Wright froze for a moment:
"Are you kidding? We are most interested in David Lee. Little Thomas is not for sale on your side now."

"That depends on what price you want."

"what????"
