Chapter 841: 19th Draft

The death of Paul Allen was quite a blow to Richard's family.
For Richard, he was an elder and a close friend. Now that he is gone, Richard only feels that his heart is empty.
Although Richard knew that death was just something everyone would face, when Paul Allen really swallowed his last breath in front of him, Richard was still in pain.
Tijana washed her face with tears for a few days, and Richard didn't care about the team's affairs anymore. She stayed with Tijana.
Old America may not have too much taboo about death. One week after the death of Paul Allen, the lawyer contacted Jodi Allen. All of Paul Allen’s property before his death was his sister Jodie Allen. inherit.
If you are in the country, you just walked right in front of you, and you will come to talk about the heritage, and it is estimated that you have to be bombarded.
"Lee, I don't have much interest in basketball, but this is something Paul has cherished all his life. I will not sell the Portland Trail Blazers."
"Should I give Tijana the Portland Trail Blazers to take care of it?" Jody Allen said sadly.
Richard sighed and shook his head.
I have a relationship with Tijana, I run the Clippers here, and Tijana runs the Trail Blazers, which is obviously inappropriate.
"Let the Trail Blazers develop freely. Now the Trail Blazers are still profitable. Wait a few years and wait for Lamb and Mary to grow up. See if they are not interested in the team. Leave it to them... "
"I and Tijana are definitely not good at the same time running the team." Richard said with a sigh.
Tijana is not easy to run the Blazers, but Richard's children are not troubled in this regard. If they take over the Blazers, no one can pick out the fault.
Jody nodded, "Well, that's the only way now, I hope those two kids will be interested in managing the team in the future."
"In this case, Paul will probably feel at ease in heaven."
Richard and his mother-in-law underestimated the Blazers' attribution.
Paul Allen has left a legacy of nearly $25 billion. The Blazers are just a very humble industry. At present, the Blazers are at most less than a billion dollars in market value, so Jody is not very interested in basketball. Under the circumstances, there is no choice to sell the Blazers.
She wanted to keep the Blazers, and at least she could have a thought.
...
The Blazers took the Spurs' class on the western side and successfully joined the Clippers in the Western Conference finals.
It may also be the reason why the soldiers must win, or it may be that Richard is releasing the water, and finally the Blazers finally got a finals ticket.
In Richard's view, this final is actually the best time for the Blazers to win the championship.
Halfway through last season, Irving caught the Cavaliers management by surprise, causing the Cavaliers to make a deal with Green Kai, Thomas Jr. was replaced by the Cavaliers, and Irving joined Green Kai.
This transaction was a year later than Richard's impression, but it happened in the end.
Right now the Cavaliers' strength is declining, and Thomas Jr. is unable to play because of injuries. It can be said that whether the Clippers enter the Finals or the Trail Blazers enter the Finals, they are all able to win the championship.
In the end, the Trail Blazers did not live up to expectations. In the end, they successfully defeated the Cavaliers with a 4:2 score at home and won the 2018-2019 championship.
Oden also won the finals MVP because of his outstanding performance, and wrote his name into the ranks of historical centers.
There is no doubt that Oden has become the most popular NBA player in the United States this summer, but in addition to Oden, there are two players that have attracted old and American basketball fans to be crazy.
The two are Li Bit and Li Jin.
In the school year that just ended, Li Bit and Li Jin ended their first year of high school.
When Richard Li was promoted to high school, he already smashed a lot of famous places, causing his current strength to be terrible.
In just one year, Li Bit and Li Jin completed accomplishments that were difficult for others to achieve in their lives.
America’s No. 1 high school student, Li Bit, the No. 1 high school student’s first lineup, and Li Jin, five-star high school students, were invited to participate in the Nike Global Summit, and were invited to participate in the McDonald’s All-Star Game.
It should be understood that these invitation qualifications are generally not open to the first grade students, but are for those graduating senior or senior students.
Obviously, Li Bit and Li Jin have become special cases, breaking countless traditions.
Countless people are waiting for these talented kids to enter the NBA, and it won't take long. The two boys have finished their first year of high school. Will they be far from participating in the draft? !
After these two boys really entered the league, these fans firmly believed that there would be a huge storm.
There are already teenagers, and fans are not so expecting high school students to enter the league.
In recent years, although Xiao Hua has liberalized the restriction of high school students to participate in the draft, the effect is not too ideal, and there are not too talented high school students who choose to enter the NBA directly. some.
Of course, there may also be other reasons, perhaps to want to feel the university life.
...
In the 2019 draft, Richard had the more awkward picks on hand, with the 29th pick in the first round and the 29th pick in the second round.
With the 29th pick in the first round, Richard chose the small combo guard Carson Edwards from Purdue University.
This Carson compares his teammate, Purdue's leader Zion Williams this year, is naturally not enough to look at, the physical fitness of the two is not at the same level.
Williams is the number one champion, not to mention that any team with the top pick will definitely choose this chubby guy.
And Carson Edwards is 185 cm tall, this is really a little too short, so his draft prediction has been very embarrassing.
The highest one is only the bottom of the first round, and the rest of the predictions are mostly in the middle of the second round.
Richard waited until the 29th overall pick in the first round. As a result, no one chose Carson and took it.
This little man has a special energy in his body. When he has a good luck, it is totally a god-killer. The nerve knife in the nerve knife is very popular with Richard.
(This year's only Purdue player has the opportunity to be selected. After a few days of the draft conference, everyone can pay attention. The pick will not be high anyway.)
As for the second-round pick, Richard Dee smoothly selected a player from China-Wang Quanze.
This is a four-star power forward. He had a good result in the U18 league before, and was accepted by the University of Pennsylvania~EbookFREE.me~ But in the ESPN draft prediction, Wang Quanze was lost, mainly because he was in the U.S. The actual score of the selected players is not high.
Sharif O'Neal, who is almost the same as Wang Quanze, the son of Shaquille O'Neal, has a score of 90 points, while Wang Quanze has only 81 points.
This is not an NBA2K game rating, but a draft prospect rating. In fact, even Sharif’s draft prospects are not the same, not to mention Wang Quanze, who is so much lower than Sharif.
Richard chose Wang Quanze also did not know that Wang Quanze is a malleable talent, it really just chose smoothly.
In the second round of the draft pick, Richard was too lazy to trade out and simply chose a Chinese player...
Of course, after the election, Richard will definitely vigorously cultivate.
Right now Richard is preparing to train Wang Quanze to become a player like Tekoglu. Both sides have a lot of similarities in terms of style and physical condition.
