NBA: No. 1 Forward

At this time, Lian Dao also officially returned to his vacation life. He is now in the stage of recuperating from his injuries, and his training has basically stopped, allowing himself to live in a leisurely and slow-paced life.

Since his parents returned to China, the big villa once again became a two-person world for him and his little senior sister.

During this period of time, Lian Dao and the little senior sister have completely degenerated.

The little sister turned down all the recent work and is discussing the next travel plan with Lian Dao.

The two lived their own two-person world, but the situation outside was turbulent.

The draft is approaching, and trading rumors have been flying all over the sky recently.

Most people know that the 16th Thursday of each season is the trade deadline, but few people know when the NBA can actually trade.

In fact, there is no clear time for the trading start day, because it depends on when the finals end.

The period from the 16th Thursday of each season to the end of the Finals cannot be traded, and other times can be traded.

However, most teams will not choose to trade at the end of the finals.

All teams now have very limited chips. Whether it is reinforcement or reconstruction, this time period is not suitable for trading.

The draft and the opening of the free market belong to the period of high incidence of two trade signings, but this summer is somewhat unlikely, because the labor negotiations have not progressed so far, and the free market will be delayed indefinitely.

At present, the only node that can facilitate a large number of transactions is the recent draft.

…

The time has come to June 24 without knowing it, and the 2011 NBA Draft was held in Newark, New Jersey, the Nets\' home stadium, the Prudential Center Arena.

This year is considered by the media and experts to be a small draft year, but Lian Dao knows that this is definitely an underestimated draft.

There have been many future All-Stars in this year\'s draft: the No. 1 pick in history, Kyrie Irving, Kemba Walker, Klay Thompson, Nikola Vucevic, Kawhi Leonard, Jimmy Butler , Isaiah Thomas…

Speaking of Kawhi Leonard, due to Lian Dao\'s success, Leonard\'s draft prospects are promising, and he has rushed into the top five rankings at the highest level.

But with his abnormal performance in a few games of ncaa. Suddenly, the media\'s comments turned sharply, and some media continued to magnify Kawhi Leonard\'s shortcomings.

try{mad1(\\\'gad2\\\');}catch(ex){} didn\'t shoot, the hand feels hard, it is difficult to practice shooting; although it is rough jade, it is difficult to polish; even the upper limit is directly set as Danny Granger.

And his flawed dynamic talent is constantly being magnified by the media, with a maximum bounce of 81 cm and a jump of 65 cm without a run-up, which is not top-notch.

The sprint speed in 3\\\\/4 games is 3.15 seconds, which is relatively good at the guard level, but Leonard\'s lateral movement speed is too slow, which makes it easy to eat screens in defense, and the breakthrough speed of the first step in offense is not good enough, and at the same time lacks transition Sheer speed in attack.

These weaknesses are constantly mentioned by the media, causing some teams to have lower and lower expectations for Leonard.

And most teams\' positioning of Leonard is limited to a role player, a defensive engineer wing with good physical fitness, rather than a first-class star or the core of the team.

With this positioning, it will be difficult for Leonard to enter the lottery zone.

Lian Dao laughed directly when he saw the news. In classic Popovich style, Lian Dao would never believe that there were no Spurs behind these rumors.

However, what the media said is indeed true, and Leonard does have this problem now.

But college athletes can\'t change their rough characteristics. If they compare the third player to Lian Dao and James, it will be difficult for them to choose the player they like.

After all, players like Lian Dao and James are really rare in ten or even decades.

Downey still asked Lian Dao for his opinion before the draft, and Lian Dao didn’t give him too many suggestions. He just told him the names of two players, one was Clay Thompson and the other was Jimmy Butler .

Clay Thompson\'s draft pick is still quite high, and his draft pick has always been in the lottery zone. On the contrary, Jimmy Butler\'s draft pick is very low, and his draft pick has always been at the end of the first round and the second round Wandering back and forth between the first few signed.

Lian Dao did not recommend Leonard to Downey.

If you look at the development of later generations, it is certain that Leonard is more comprehensive and belongs to the super giant, but Leonard is a stuffy gourd, and it will be more difficult for him to integrate into the team.

Moreover, Leonard needs a lot of time to train, but whether the Knicks are at the second or third position, the personnel ratio has become complete, and there is no way to give Leonard the large amount of playing time needed to grow.

To be honest, the Knicks don\'t have the basic conditions for developing players like the Spurs.

In fact, even Jimmy Butler needs a lot of time to cultivate.

The reason why Jimmy Butler\'s pick prediction is so low is that he is not a finished product in college, so he also needs a lot of time to train, and one of the foundations of training is a lot of playing time.

The birth of a super player must require a lot of playing time. Whether it is James, or Kobe, Jordan and Durant, they are all improving through each game.

try{mad1(\\\'gad2\\\');}catch(ex){} is Duncan and Lian Dao, who are at the peak of their debut, and they are constantly improving their skills through a lot of playing time.

However, Lian Dao did not strongly interfere with Downey\'s selection, he just provided two draft suggestions.

The Knicks are now a championship team, and they are still a championship team with a very young average age. Their only task now is to ensure the integrity of the lineup. As for the draft, everything is secondary.

However, with the retirement of Rasheed Wallace, the Knicks also need to strengthen their inside line, and they must find a player who can replace Rasheed Wallace.

Downey was also very troubled by this. Lian Dao proposed two candidates for Downey, one was Yao Ming, and the other was Hassan Whiteside.

Yao Ming\'s name, Downey, is very familiar. The super center in the Western Conference, this year also happens to be Yao Ming\'s contract year. Even if Yao Ming is signed with a maximum salary, with the current salary space of the Knicks, there is actually no problem.

But what makes Downey wonder is who is Hassan Whiteside?

Lian Dao has a row of foreheads~www.mtlnovel.com~ He forgot that although Hassan signed with the Kings, he didn\'t play many games in the whole season.

Immediately, Lian Dao explained to Downey, but this made Downey even more confused.

One is a top center in the league, and the other is a player who is difficult to even hit the ball. No matter how you look at it, I feel that there is a big gap between the players suggested by Lian Dao.

But Lian Dao didn\'t explain too much about it. Could it be that he opened his eyes, or that he was reborn and knew that Hassan would be able to fight in the future?

There is no doubt that the Knicks traded up and did not succeed. All the teams with lottery picks, seeing the Knicks traded up the draft picks, all opened their mouths like a lion. They either wanted Gallinari or wanted Dan. Nee Green.

In this regard, Downey directly replied: I am afraid you want to eat farts.

If he dared to trade like this, he would definitely be scolded to death by Knicks fans.

But Lian Dao knew that even with such a deal, the Knicks would definitely make money in the future.

Because Clay Thompson has much more room for growth in the future than both of them now.

But Downey didn\'t open his eyes, and he didn\'t block everything. He believed in Lian Dao\'s courage, so in the end Clay Thompson went to the Golden State Warriors.

Although some butterfly effects have occurred due to the rebirth of Lian Dao, and some picks have changed, but several key draft picks have not changed.

For example, the Cavaliers who won the No. 1 pick still chose Ou Shenxian: Kyrie Irving.

Another example is that Kemba Walker was caught by the Chicago marinated egg and brought him to the Charlotte Bobcats.
