Chapter 781: Richard was intercepted (2 in 1)

The night before the draft, Richard met with a newcomer to Purdue University this year.
The Morris brothers and Klay Thompson.
This year Purdue University participated in the draft with these three...
Once Purdue University walked out another pair of brothers, namely the Lopez brothers, and now came to the Morris brothers. For a time, the Morris brothers were still quite noticeable.
However, despite the attention, the draft pick must not be high, mainly because the previous Lopez brothers did not play very well in the NBA.
As for Klay Thompson, at Purdue, he mainly plays the role of a golfer, and the pick is not too high.
No team will build a team based on a ballless player...
An extremely well-known shooter in history, such as Miller or Ray Allen, is actually not a pure ballless player. They have the means to hold the ball and have a very good standard.
As for Klay Thompson, his ability to hold the ball is better than no ball.
"Coach, Coach Brownie is nagging you every day, saying you haven't been back to Purdue University for a long time to see." Big Morris conveyed "missing" for Little Brownie.
"Wait for time, now I have too many things. I just took over the Clippers and was busy dizzy."
"Three of you guys, after entering the league, you must work hard, but don't disgrace Purdue's gold signboard." Richard said to the three boys with a smile.
The three of them nodded at the same time. They have the status of a Syracuse player. In fact, even if the pick is not too high, it will definitely be easier to start than other players. Follow.
Now that they are looking forward to it, they finally get the chance to enter the league, and they naturally look forward to the future.
"Coach, rest assured, we will work hard."
"You will never be ashamed of you, and you will never be more ashamed of the gold signboard of West Lafayette."
"One day, you will be proud of us."
The three said with firm eyes to Richard.
Richard nodded with a smile. The three who ran for the election this year, in fact, the Morris brothers' achievements in the future will not be too high, mainly because these two have inherent shortcomings...
The wingspan height and athletic ability have no advantage anyway, and the two men did not have the ability to make a three-pointer in the early stage. It is difficult to become a star player.
But even so, there must be no problem for the two to gain a foothold in the NBA.
And Klay Thompson, Richard has placed great expectations on it, looking forward to his burst of unparalleled energy.
...
In the evening of the next day, Richard took Mark Jackson to the draft.
Although Richard was involved in the draft conference last season, he only came to help people after all. This time is different. Richard came to the draft conference to select people for himself.
Everyone is curious, which players will Richard choose this time?
At present, Richard has a lot of picks at hand, although there are a lot of four, but there is no top five picks, and the highest one is only the eighth pick.
I don't know if Richard can continue this miracle and pick some elite rookies.
...
Stern appeared and announced the start of this year's draft.
Richard was a little puzzled. During the offseason last season, Stern said that he was about to retire. As a result, this blink of an year passed, and Stern did not have the retreat.
And watching him host the draft conference tonight, it is estimated that he will certainly not retire this season...
...
"I announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Kyrie Irving from Duke University in the first round of the first round!" Stern read out the top pick.
The Cavaliers management sighed secretly, thinking of the deal that Richard had mentioned before.
If possible, they still prefer Griffin. After all, Griffin has already proved the strength of his champion, and Irving’s words, although he seems to be the most outstanding player of this year, but whether he can play specifically, ghosts. know……
Even if you have a 90% certainty that you can hit it, you are afraid of hitting that 10% chance.
And if you can get Griffin, there will be no trouble in this regard.
Just before the Cavaliers sighed, Stern announced the second pick, Derek Williams from the University of Arizona.
This is a parallel, the Timberwolves tragic team, anyway, forged an indissoluble bond with parallel.
Richard also secretly mourned for the Timberwolves in his heart, this team is too miserable...
With the first shot, the worst player in the top five picks was selected, and even the weakest player in the top fifteen picks is fine...
It has to be said that this is also a talent. It is not the best for all teams to run directly to the worst.
Next, the Utah Jazz chose the free fighter Kant from Turkey with the third pick.
Jazz is quite pitiful, even Richard, who has had a terrifying conflict with Jazz, has some sympathy for Jazz.
In the 09-10 season, the Jazz can still maintain the fifth power in the Western Conference. As a result, the season just ended, that is, the 10-11 season, they did not even make the playoffs.
The reason for this situation is that a conflict broke out between De Chuan and Sloan.
And this conflict is not a private conflict, but a fierce conflict that broke out on the sidelines during the half-season game against the Bulls.
Think of Sloan’s status, although not as good as Richard, but also the leading bishop in this league, and in the Jazz, he is a godfather.
Now that the players under his hands are in front of tens of thousands of people, they bump into themselves and quarrel with their blushing necks, how can Sloan endure.
As a result, Sloan resigned on the second day after the conflict broke out, and any honor he deserved.
In 2009, he was elected to the Hall of Fame.
And De Xiaopang failed to get a good end. Sloan's reputation was unparalleled in Salt Lake City. The boss sold De Xiaopang to the Nets in two weeks...
This made the original Western Power Jazz directly become a fish belly, did not even enter the playoffs.
However, their draft picks at this year's draft are still good, with a draft pick and a 12th pick.
...
Next, the eight wise kings and the tile were selected by the fourth and fifth picks respectively.
Among them, the eighth king of the fourth pick is still selected by the knights, and two of the first five picks in the first round are knights...
The Cavaliers are so good draft picks, watching Richard slobber.
Not only this year, the Cavaliers have won three top picks in the past four years. This kind of thing has never happened in the entire NBA history, and anyone who is envious will drool.
Of course, the No. 1 pick Cavaliers did not play their biggest role. Except for Irving, the other two picks were a bit pitted.
One is Bennett, so it goes without saying that Kwame Brown was rescued and the most famous champion in history was taken from his head.
The other is the health champion Wiggins. In his condition, Richard estimated that he could hit the league...
...
Then Viselli and Biyombo were picked up by the sixth and seventh picks.
The following is the No. 8 pick in Richard's hands. The entire draft conference venue, everyone looks towards the Clippers. Obviously everyone is curious, who Richard will choose.
The choice of the first seven picks is not beyond the expectations of fans and experts, basically everything is expected.
And Richard's eighth pick, experts must have predicted, either choose Kentucky University point guard Brandon Knight, or choose University of Connecticut point guard Ken Barwalk...
Because Richard sold the Clippers' Blake in the previous transaction, their current No. 1 player is completely unsightly. Richard will definitely choose a point guard in this draft. Player.
Whether it is Knight or Walker, in the eyes of experts, they are quite suitable for the Clippers.
Now they are waiting for Stern to come out and announce the result...
"I announced that the Los Angeles Clippers chose Klay Thompson from Purdue University with the eighth pick in the first round!"
"Wow..." There was a lot of noise at the scene, and no one expected that Richard had actually chosen a forward player, and he was still a forward player who did not have the ability to hold the ball.
If Klay Thompson has the ability to hold the ball, it is estimated that some people on the scene will think that Richard will take a different approach and train Thompson in the direction of a point guard.
But now that Thompson does not have the ability to hold the ball, it is impossible to play the No. 1 position at all...
What the is Richard doing? Did he develop a tactical system that doesn't need a point guard at all? !
Richard was also noticed by the shock at the scene, and he could roughly guess what they were shocking...
Choose only expensive, not right, the Clippers are really extremely lacking point guards, but obviously Thompson is more valuable than Knight or Walker.
Moreover, Walker already has the master. The ninth pick Warrior is very interested in Walker. Before asking Richard whether he can choose, Richard gave a positive answer.
Although Walker said a little bit, but the strength is actually quite good. Putting in the East where the competition is not so fierce, Walker can become the top three point guards in the future.
...
Popovich also came in person this time. After hearing the Clippers chose Klay Thompson, the whole person was relieved!
It’s better not to pick Leonard. He’s really afraid that Richard will pick Leonard at the meeting...
...
Next, the Warriors chose Kemba Walker with the ninth pick. Under normal circumstances, this rank belongs to the Pirates, but now the record of the Pirates certainly cannot get such a high rank.
...
After a short clamor, the follow-up draft proceeded normally.
"I announced that the Utah Jazz chose Alec Burks of the University of Colorado in the first round with the 12th pick."
The two first-round picks of the Jazz were considered quite satisfactory, and the strength of the players was okay, but they were not good enough.
...
Then everyone looked at the Clippers again, because then it was the Clippers' pick.
Should Richard always choose a point guard this time?
"I announced that the Los Angeles Clippers selected Kawhi Leonard from San Diego State University in the first round with the thirteenth overall pick."
...
"Grass? What kind of ghosts are you picking?" The audience was stunned, while the domestic fans were directly frying.
"Who is this guy? Why did ESPN report that the Clippers may not have the name of the player."
"I really want to be a little impressed by this newcomer, but this guy is a blue-collar outside player. In terms of ability to hold the ball, he can't do anything better than Klay Thompson, and the offensive technique is quite rough."
"What did Richard think? Really don't need a point guard? It's acceptable to choose Clay Thompson on the eighth pick. After all, it's produced by Purdue University, but what is the 13th pick? , Even if you choose one of the Morris brothers!"
Many domestic fans watched the live broadcast of the draft and saw that Richard had selected two forwards and defenders in succession.
In their opinion, these two choices are really not wise...
The Clippers' virtue now can be seen even by a fan who has just come into contact with basketball. There is a lack of point guards!
In this case, Richard chose two players who would never be able to play point guard, and no one knew what he was doing.
The audience blinked, and Richard gave them a big surprise this time.
I didn't choose a point guard, nor did I choose Richard's favorite big man. I picked up two forward guards...
Popovich's breath was long, and he suffocated again.
Fear of what came, Richard really chose Leonard.
"Fortunately, I made two preparations before!"
"Now Leonard has been taken by Richard and wants to get it back from Richard, it is probably a fool's dream." Popovich thought with a sigh.
However, the old man who has been in the league for so many years has been uplifted immediately after a short fall.
Leonard is indeed good, but it may not be stronger than his second plan.
...
Seeing that Klay Thompson and Leonard officially got it, Richard was relieved. This draft has already succeeded by two-thirds~EbookFREE.me~ Just choose Butler and the young Thomas, he can successfully leave New York and start the reconstruction of the Clippers.
Richard Dezhi looked at the draft conference with satisfaction, and the only thing he needed to do next was wait.
Waiting to pick Jimmy Butler with a 30th pick.
"I announced that the San Antonio Spurs chose Jimmy Butler from Marquette University with the 29th pick in the first round." Stern read out the 29th pick.
Karma? ! Richard was dumbfounded...
Jiba cut off? ! Cut off Popovich? !
How can this be……
Richard didn't expect it, but Butler's eyes were about to be handed out, and Popovich intercepted him.
PS: The limit is exempted, the chapters are two in one, and you can order them with less missing points.
