The God of Basketball

In fact, when OJ Mayo was talking nonsense in an interview ahead.

David Stern had already stepped onto the stage, and then he announced the selection from Oklahoma.

Presti, a professional manager from the Spurs department, used the first lottery pick since the birth of the Thunder to select the point guard from Russell Westbrook! !

Professor Li in a suit and leather shoes once again became a man of the hour.

After Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, another lottery rookie hugged him.

This made Chatford couldn't help muttering on TV: Maybe Bruce's father is the biggest winner tonight. He's already cashing in on Derrick Rose's biggest sponsorship deal in history. And now, the three lottery picks will hand over 4% of their salary to him...

Many well-known brokers and brokerage companies in the circle are complaining.

They think that Jack Lee's success is too easy, and it is simply a reverse rich second generation operation. CAA even pointed out unceremoniously: If it weren't for Bruce Lee, no one would choose to sign him, a professor of physics who changed careers halfway. Basketball is farther from physics... than Galileo is from Picasso.

But this argument was simply refuted by Jack Lee: No creature living on the earth can escape the laws of physics. No one can disobey the laws of physics. Basketball is no exception.

Regarding the fact that he is a reverse rich second generation, relying on his son's reputation to do whatever he wants in the NBA, he spread his palms: "This is a cycle. And, maybe you can't explain whether the egg or the chicken came first in this world, But at least I can tell you: Bruce is indeed my son."

Then, at this time, some guys who think they are humorous jumped out: But Bruce Lee became famous earlier than Jack Chen....

Kung Fu actor stalks are used on Li and his son, which is quite popular.

Who made Professor Li choose the name indiscriminately?

Fortunately, however, he only had one son. If he has another son named Jet, then there will be a new round of Kung Fu King competition.

Russell Westbrook then hit back at OJ Mayo.

Of course, this is inseparable from the instigation of reporters in front of ESPN. Reporters are never too serious, so it is not surprising to add fuel to OJ Mayo's already excessive words.

"If I were a person who was known as the No. 1 pick in the draft in high school and had a dedicated team to shoot documentaries before I entered college, I would never be complacent just because I was the third pick. It's just a player who has just secured his starting position in the second semester."

"So, according to the simplest mathematical model, you will clearly find that his growth curve has flattened, and even fell downwards, while I am rising rapidly!!"

"If he is really as strong as he said, the Boston Celtics or Cleveland Cavaliers can't wait to apply for a trade."

Since Westbrook signed Professor Li, he has become more and more rigorous.

His rigor is in stark contrast to OJ Mayo's flamboyant restlessness. NBA fans in front of the TV are naturally divided according to their first impression: Westbrook is a down-to-earth player, while OJ Mayo is much more ostentatious.

at the same time.

Russell Westbrook's teammate Kevin Love was selected fifth overall.

And 3 minutes later, the league announced that the deal was reached: OJ Mayo was sent to the Memphis Grizzlies, and Kevin Love was sent to Minnesota.

The third pick and the fifth pick are swapped. Although both sides have increased their chips, they are generally equal.

That seems to mean only one thing: that there is no difference between the third pick and the fifth pick.

And no difference.

What qualifications does OJ Mayo have to claim that he beat Westbrook with the fourth pick in the draft?

At that time, Master Wei's face became joyful, he raised his eyebrows, and wanted to go backstage to talk to OJ Mayo about the drafting issue again.

However, Professor Li would not allow this to happen.

He introduced many Chinese reporters to Westbrook. He hoped that his players could make a wide appearance in front of Chinese fans, and he wanted to build a magnificent Li team.

"My dream is...to sign 50 percent of the future NBA superstars."

Professor Li has made no secret of his ambitions in front of the Chinese media.

He has identified it as his new career, and he wants to show the attitude of doing experiments.

With his indomitable character, smart brain, gentle means... and most importantly... his son's reputation, success will not be too difficult.

...

The Memphis Grizzlies-Minnesota Timberwolves trade gave the Knicks more time to think.

Li Zhen sat in front of the phone and remotely commanded the uniform team in the draft war room. Before him was the list of candidates for this year's draft.

With Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Kevin Love and others being drafted away, Li Zhen looked at the draft list again and felt...it seems really difficult to jump out of a name that can strongly stimulate him. There are quite a few other names that are familiar to him.

It's just that there are so many draft picks in hand now, I really don't know how to choose.

So, after he hesitated for a while. Asked on the phone that never hung up: "Hey, Isaiah. What do you think we are most missing right now??"

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you understand the main needs and secondary needs, everything will be solved.

Isiah Thomas was also a little hesitant.

The positions that the team lacks are, in order, a seven-foot center, a shooter, a sixth man, and a wing defender.

But now the seven-foot center has Marc Gasol, but the shooter has lost Quentin Richardson, leaving Francisco alone...too lonely.

So, he blurted out: shooter! Short of shooters.

At this time, Li Zhen did not hesitate. He pointed his finger directly at the draft list and said a name that surprised Isiah Thomas: "Danilo Gallinari!"

From Italy, born in 1988, a super tall 6-foot-10 small forward who plays shooting.

It is a bit similar to Bargnani, the champion of the previous year, but his performance in Europe is far better than that of Bargnani in the same age group.

This year, his draft prediction ranking has been hovering on the edge of the lottery. According to rumors, Hornets coach D'Antoni admires him very much and hopes that he can form a wing alliance with the same European marksman Peja in New Orleans.

But I didn't expect... The Knicks actually got there first.

When David Stern read out the Knicks' choice for the sixth pick, the audience was silent for almost 5 seconds before there was some movement: Although the fans did not understand, but based on their trust in Isiah Thomas, Strong applause and cheers broke out to welcome this newcomer from Europe.

In fact, Gallinari was stunned when he heard his own name. The camera doesn't even have time to switch to his stunned face, because it's really unexpected.

Gallinari was already ready to go to New Orleans because he only got commitments from the Hornets.

He has been looking forward to the scene of partnering with top point guard Chris Paul these days. He believes that his ability can be fully released under the guidance of a super point guard like Paul.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Knicks, who had no enthusiasm for him before, offered an olive branch on draft night.

this means…….

Gallinari was soon ecstatic. The attraction of the world's largest city is unstoppable for a young man like him. Most importantly, Bruce Lee! Bruce Lee is a super point guard who can surpass Chris Paul. With him, are you afraid of hitting the rookie wall? All the shooters who cooperated with him have benefited a lot. Am I really going to start the journey of being the number one shooter in the NBA?

Huge surprise enveloped his expression, he has completely forgotten about D'Antoni and Chris Paul in New Orleans.

He firmly believes that he will achieve great things in New York.

In fact, he said as much.

He was still overjoyed in an interview with ESPN, expressing his loyalty very positively and enthusiastically: The New York Knicks are my favorite team, and Bruce Lee is my favorite player. I can't wait to start my NBA journey under the protection of the great Bruce Lee. I will definitely become the best shooter on his wing. I am the MR born for him, right! !

This mouth job.

Italy is indeed a country that can be compared with France in Europe.

Francisco in front of the TV has already felt a strong threat: This grandson is going to go to the upper class.

Swift, too, was having bouts of scalp tingling, unaware that he was three days and 20 hours away from donning an Atlanta Hawks jersey. He gritted his teeth, very nervous: no. No two sycophants are allowed in the Knicks!

Isiah Thomas also saw Gallinari's interview on TV, and his brow furrowed. If it is not the player Li Zhen chooses, he even thinks about returning the product.

He always thought the Italians were unreliable. Because he has studied a lot of World War II history.

But then a call from New Orleans reassured him.

D'Antoni, who just took office as the general manager of the Hornets and is also his deadly enemy, called. He asked cautiously: whether he is willing to trade this year's No. 6 pick.

As soon as this question is raised.

Thomas didn't even want to hear his offer anymore.

This proves from the side that Bruce is holding God's will again.

Although I haven't studied this Italian, D'Antoni must have studied it.

Otherwise, how could he offer a deal? He is even so willing to send Peja to eat Eddie Curry's contract that has been bought out.

Doesn't this just show the value of the No. 6 pick?

At that time, Isiah Thomas refused.

He told D'Antoni very simply: "In the draft, no one can cheat me. If you want to trade with me, show some sincerity. I know Gallinari very well, and I know how amazing his prospects are!!"

D'Antoni froze.

After a while, he did make a constructive offer. He even said that he could trade Tyson Chandler's expiring contract.

Isiah Thomas is really heartbroken.

But...on second thought, Tyson Chandler is not cost-effective, not good!

And Bruce didn't agree, how can I, the vice president, general manager and head coach of a small club, make my own decisions.

"Okay, just kidding. If you bring Chris Paul over, I won't change it! Because we have Bruce Lee!! Hahahaha!"

Isiah Thomas sent D'Antoni's depression with a hearty smile, and the angry curse after hanging up the phone.

But the assassin doesn't care, he's always been mean.

(PS, choosing Gallinari with the sixth overall pick is not a bad choice for the Knicks. Gallinari is not a parallel importer. On the contrary, he is a very reliable member of the 180 club, and he is tall. Although he is not a star player, but , no one will think that his current annual salary of 20 million US dollars is a premium contract.)

...

After the Knicks unconventionally chose the Italian, Eric Gordon, Joe Stress, DJ Augustin, Brock Lopez, Jerry Bayless, Jason Thompson, and Brandon Rush were selected respectively.

Soon it was the Knicks' turn to hold the 14th overall pick in a trade with the Golden State Warriors involving David Lee.

Everyone is wondering who the Knicks will choose.

Before the draft, many media in Los Angeles were there to blow the news. It is said that the Knicks will choose Brock Lopez, the brother of the twin center who is also from Stanford, because of Bruce, but now, Brock Lopez has been selected.

"So, will the Knicks use this pick to pick their younger brother, Robin Lopez, who seems to be more athletic?"

ESPN's draft experts predicted it on TV.

However, less than 1 minute.

David Stern stepped onto the podium, and he announced the Knicks' choice.

DeAndre Jordan! !

As soon as the name came out, the scene couldn't help but screams of wow and boos.

Although DeAndre Jordan entered this year's Green House.

However, all the exposed scouting reports are showing that this center with super physical fitness cannot become a good NBA player. His offensive ability is so poor that some scouts even pointed out unceremoniously: the free throw percentage is only 28%, and he does not have the ability to put the basketball into the basket. He only knows how to dunk!

Moreover, his body still needs to be strengthened, especially the strength of arms, upper body and legs.

Isiah Thomas also has a scouting report on DeAndre Jordan on his desk, which shows: DeAndre Jordan has excellent athletic ability, but he is very "primitive" in basic skills, and his offense is almost only dunks and baskets. Follow-up layup; his game still has a lot to work on, and he's not ready for the NBA after only one season in college.

Although Jordan has a good touch, he lacks post-up footwork and understanding of offense. Another year of college may make his footwork and post-up offense better.

After Li Zhen made this decision, Isiah Thomas asked Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's answer was simple: "I just think this name is very impactful and makes me want to make a choice."

Forehead….

Hasty.

Thomas felt that way at the time.

After all, can a person named Jordan have no impact?
