Vol 3 Chapter 1130: No. 1 pick, second pick, Spurs, Sonics and two thousand...

On June 22, 2013, the smoke of the NBA Finals cleared, but the heat caused by the championship did not retreat in the slightest.
Seattle, the once and eternal center of the NBA bustle, seems to turn a deaf ear to what is happening in the NBA now.
There was a time when the annual finals ended when Seattle was the busiest and craziest time.
Now, except for a few people, it doesn't seem to be a holy city of NBA and basketball.
"The NBA has not had anything to do with us for three years."
In the Seattle SuperSonics training hall, Tucker, Ingles, Danny Green, Nick Collison and others looked at the rookies who came to the Seattle SuperSonics for trial this year, and everyone's faces were a little nostalgic.
"I don't know if Yes has walked out of the original shadow."
"Should have come out? After all, Roy has won the Mavericks, and now he is doing well with the Mavericks, and Rajon... Rondo, the villain, also got the punishment he deserved after betraying Yes. In the past three years with the Spurs, wherever he went, he was ridiculed, and even because he played Popovich, he even lost the team position last season. He now has a two-year contract with the Spurs. The Spurs wanted to He traded and he was willing to post a first-round pick, but no one took over. There have been rumors that the Spurs are going to buy out the contract of the traitor Rondo."
"I have also heard about his performance over the years. If he is bought out of the contract by the Spurs, he can retire directly. No one is willing to take him in. With that strength and temper, can he ask an ancestor to go back and command at the top of the arc? traffic?"
"So Rondo and the Spurs deserve it!"
"If it weren't for betraying Yes at the beginning, Rondo is now in the top fifteen, and he is not greedy enough to swallow the elephant. I really think he is a big boss without Yes? I think Danny is much smarter!"
For Tucker's indignation and his obsession with Rondo, Danny Green was embarrassed to be so praised by the team's locker room boss.
Because of the 2010 finals, Danny Green was also dug, but he withstood the temptation. Although the money was given elsewhere and the status was also high, the supersonic speed made him practical.
He knows very well that his performance in the finals is entirely due to Yes's assists. Sure enough, his "Zhang Tielin" or the "Zhang Tielin" in the regular season or in the playoffs these years, although the data is better than the rookie season. Less, but compared with that year's finals, it was a cliff-like decline.
Those teams dig him because of his performance in the 2010 Finals. If he goes to these teams and can’t show the strength of the 2010 Finals, even if he still has the data of the Seattle SuperSonics, his situation will not be better. How much better Rondo.
Therefore, instead of Rondo going to the Spurs as the boss, he still chose to stay at the Supersonics and continue to be his Zhang Tielin waiting for the return of Yes, waiting for the second spring of his career.
Of course, he didn't think about leaving at the beginning. After all, the treatment of other teams is indeed good, but Rondo's experience made those players in the Sonics who do not have confidence in their talents and strengths.
Of course, for the outstanding talents of Gasol and Ibaka, players who have been fully developed by Yes are different.
Therefore, Danny Green felt that Tucker was right, and Rondo was not clear enough about himself.
He is obviously of the same level as our role players, but he has overestimated himself and feels that he is a genius like Durant, Ibaka, and Gasol.
"It can only be said that Yes still spoiled him too much, spoiled him."
Ingles sighed.
Yes people are really so nice.
Because he saved Yes once, he joined the team in 2008, and now he has been paid for five years.
And the team never treated him badly. The team renewed his contract even in accordance with the highest standards of role players.
His stats in the team last season were 7 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds, but this season the team gave him a five-year contract extension of 50 million US dollars.
Although his three-pointers hit a season-high 44% last season, in this era when three-pointers are becoming more and more important, he left the Sonics with this three-pointer and can also get a good contract. , But definitely not reach the level of 50 million in 5 years.
When he was expelled from Australia, he didn't even think he could one day get ten million annual salary in the NBA.
Therefore, he has always been very, very grateful.
I have always felt plainly that Yes is so good, and those who betray Yes will definitely not end well.
Just like Rondo.
"Even though that guy was horribly punished by God for betraying Yes, the money is real, it!"
"Hehe, don't think so. The money given to that guy is used by God to punish the Spurs. The Spurs take so much money to raise a waste every year. In order to raise this waste, Duncan will cut his salary for fear of the team's offense. Luxury tax, that’s it. The Spurs have paid the luxury tax for two years. The poor boss of the Spurs is very worried. Hehe, there are still two years left."
"I heard that Popovich took the initiative to cut his salary because he wanted to use his salary to make up for the loss of the team and the owner?"
"That's right, if Popovich didn't take the initiative to cut his salary, he and Buford Bowen would try to dig Rondo's deal, and Buford would have gone."
"Hehe, Popovich resigned the position of CEO, gave Buford the position of CEO, and gave Buford the salary of the CEO. It is considered that he still has a conscience, knowing that he pitted Buford. "
"I think Bowen is also very conscientious. He recommended the man to Popovich. So on the'Good Friday of the Castle', Popovich and the man were nailed to the pillar of shame on the night, Bowen I left the stadium in a daze and was hit by a car. I was lame on one leg, and the other leg was also lame. It could have been cured, but because of the guilt of Popovich who was vicissitudes of life overnight, it was actually the same as before. , I don’t want to have surgery, now my two legs are crippled together, and I have been in a wheelchair for three years."
"Bowen has been in a wheelchair for the past three years. Timberwolves fans, Raptors fans, and our SuperSonic fans, many fans of NBA teams, have been very happy for three years."
"Bowen deserves it. He has ruined so many people's careers. It is cheap for him to take a wheelchair now!"
Although the Cavaliers shouted the slogan "Armed to the Holy City, Smashed Fairy Tales" after winning the championship not long ago, they are really upset, but every time they talk about the Spurs' experience in the past three years, these SuperSonic players can always be unhappy. Become happy.
In the past three years, the Sonics players watched the Spurs lively, and the Sonics fans watched the Spurs jokes, which has become the seasoning for them to wait for Yes.
"It's a bit of a pity that the Spurs got a good draft pick this year."
"After all, it’s been bad luck for two years, and this year can’t be any bad luck anymore, and it’s really better than luck. Isn’t our luck better? The first-round pick when we traded CJ Watson to the Magic that year has actually become Signed a role model!"
"Luck is really good. Unfortunately, this year is a small draft year. There are no too strong players. It would be nice if Tony Roten participated in the draft a year later."
"Haha, Tony Roten was the second place in the draft last year. That's because the No. 1 pick was a thick eyebrow. If it was this year, Tony Roten would not be the second place in the ranking."
"That's true, but think about it, this year's No. 1 pick Oladipo's draft template is Tony Allen and Danny, it feels a bit speechless."
Hearing that, Danny Green wanted to laugh himself.
This year's No. 1 pick Oladipo's draft template, the worst is Tony Allen, the best is Danny Green.
He never thought that one day he could become a hot template for the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft.
In addition to Oladipo, several other hot rookies.
Otto Porter is Prince, Trey Burke is teammate Ty Lawson, the quality of this draft is shocking.
And this is also an important reason why the draft picks of the Antetokounmpo brothers have soared as the draft is approaching, with Noel’s potential injuries. It is clear that the current boss of the University of Washington is the little magician, but except for the EJ magician The ball quotient is high and the hard talent is indeed inferior to the Antetokounmpo brothers.
Several heroes of the University of Washington this year's championship, but the Antetokounmpo brothers are higher than the Magician in the draft, of course, everyone is also a lottery.
It is precisely because there are no rookies with absolute advantage in this year's draft, everyone's competition is very fierce, and no one can guarantee that they will win the lottery or that they will be the top pick.
Everyone's strength is too close.
For NBA teams, this rookie class is very poor, the worst in history.
But for these rookies, it is the most difficult, because everyone is too close and the competition is far more difficult than in previous drafts, accidentally falling from the top pick to the back, and even the lottery.
As a draft model with Tony Allen and Danny Green players, is it surprising to drop out of the lottery?
Even Oladipo himself would not be surprised.
Oladipo gritted his teeth in the Seattle Supersonics training hall.
But his gaze has been staring at the Ej Johnson, the little magician, who is elegant and easy-going even on the court, even sweaty!
This is his biggest opponent!
Even if his draft prediction is high now, the name of the little magician is too loud!
NCAA three consecutive championships, NCAAmop, no matter how fortunate the game is, no matter how strong the opponent is, every time he fights against his opponent on the court, he has that kind of'gentle and easygoing' and'pleasant' smile on his face. Every opponent of's will be upset by his smile.
He is an outlier on the basketball court, and even many NCAA players say privately that they don't even dare to look at him, as long as they are stared at by his eyes, they will feel cold all over.
He is a combination of a smiling assassin and a magician. He is the most fearful in NCAA. The "smiling gentleman" who feels uncomfortable when he is seen by his eyes and touched by his hands. The smiling magician, ej Johnson !
Even if it is him!
When his gaze was discovered by the little magician, and when the little magician looked over, he didn't dare to look at this guy.
He knows exactly how his soul trembles when being watched by this guy and touching with his hands.
In this year's NCAA round six, Indiana University was hanged by the University of Washington because he was taken over by this little magician.
If it weren't for the ordinary talent of the little magician, he would definitely be the top pick. Of course, the ordinary talent mentioned here is just compared to his father. His two-meter height is not short at the point guard position.
And his style of play is exactly the same as his father.
Other small point guards like to open up the space to break through. His style of play is that the offensive end likes to fight against defensive players, entangled with each other physically, and then pass and hook like his father, even he is better than his father I prefer to fight against offensive players.
Look at the meat on his body, where is an NCAA player!
He is 1.93 meters, 97 kilograms, and he is already extremely strong among NCAA guards, but in this year's NCAA 16 strong, his confrontation is suppressed by him!
In the training tube of the Seattle Supersonics, Oladipo dared not look at the little magician, and was not used to the aggressive gaze and the evil smile.
Facing Oladipo's retreat, Ej Johnson just smiled.
The soul mate is really not so easy to find.
"However, don't worry, there is no better place to find your soul mate than a basketball court!"
This is the largest platform for same-sex dating and same-sex melee!
Ah Kelly, you can't run away!
At this time, the little magician didn't notice that CJ McCollum, who was leaning against him behind him, was already shaking a little.
The smile at the corner of the mouth seen from the side really made their souls tremble!
Too lethal!
Because the Seattle SuperSonics have two first-round picks this year, and one of them is still the top second pick. Although Yes is no longer in the Seattle SuperSonics, the Seattle SuperSonics training camp still attracts a lot of outstanding people. Players.
Xanasis Antetokounmpo and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two hottest lottery brothers, let’s not talk about Oladipo, Little Magician, Trey Bock, Pope and other hot rookies almost It's all here.
Compared with the Spurs who won the No. 1 pick, the Seattle SuperSonics' second pick is more attractive.
The current Spurs are no different from a quagmire.
Because of Rondo's affairs, the Spurs are now in a mess.
General Manager Buford resigned, Popovich resigned as CEO, but the reputation of the team still plummeted. The team's head coach and successor to the general manager, Bowen and Brian Knight, have already been in a wheelchair, and the other has not accumulated. Enough prestige to succeed, and the new general manager hired by the Spurs was invited by the Spurs boss to reform the Spurs’ maladies. The Rondo incident made the Spurs boss tremble. Such players can be beaten by Buford Popovich and Wright Bowen. People give out such a contract. This group of people has too high a status in the Spurs and too much power.
It can be said that the current Spurs have fallen into a quagmire of power struggle and chaos.
Just because Popovich and Buford have contributed too much and their status is too high, even if Popovich is already demented in the eyes of others, but for Spurs fans and the Spurs, it’s like the US team. It is not realistic to clean up Popovich and Rondo's legacy.
I don't know when the new general manager of the Spurs and Popovich will fight, and no one wants to be the victim of the fight.
Therefore, it is better for the Supersonics. No matter how the Supersonics does not have Yes, it is also a strong team in the league. The league is famous for giving young people opportunities.
This year's rookies are training and showing the court.
They attach great importance to this trial.
The Sonics also pays attention to it. So many Sonics players come to observe. In addition to the team’s general manager Presti and the team’s four core players, Nelson and Rick Sander also coming.
Even the previous SuperSonic quad-core core players, Durant, James Harden, Milicic and Millsap came.
But soon he was called away by the supersonic general manager.
"Kawhi, do you know what Sam called KD they used to do? Is it to convince Ty Lawson to leave it behind?"
This year's rookies are not very attractive, so these SuperSonic players watched for a while and changed the focus.
He looked at Leonard, who had not spoken silently.
Leonard is a very special presence in supersonics.
Among those rookies in 2010, Avery Bradley, Cousins, John Wall have already played out, and even Paul George and Gordon Hayward behind Leonard have played out. Up.
Even further, Bledsoe has won the best sixth man in the Warriors.
But Leonard...
He is still tepid and playing off the bench at the Seattle SuperSonics.
It cannot be said that his performance is not good.
There are also some statistics, the hit rate is not bad, the defense is also very good, basically without any shortcomings, Durant is completely qualified to play the bench.
However, if he is just an ordinary lottery rookie, his performance is completely qualified.
But he is the number four show!
He can pick a lot of good players!
John Wall, Bledsoe and even Paul George, Gordon Hayward, etc., even Isaiah Thomas Jr. and Stephenson are better than him.
But ~EbookFREE.me~ Leonard will not be dissatisfied with the team even if he is sorry for his pick.
Because he is Yes's most distressed apprentice.
Everyone knows his honesty and mental fragility, so every time Yes goes back to Seattle, he is the most concerned about him.
No one dared to let him be wronged in the Seattle SuperSonics.
So even if there is any more dissatisfaction, you have to hold back.
Moreover, they really have no dissatisfaction with Leonard.
Because they can always get a yes message from Leonard.
Not only Yes, but also first-hand news from the team. Leonard is too special on the team. He is a role player, but he has the treatment of a star player.
He is closer to the core of the team than all of them.
"Sam told them to go there to inform them that the master is coming back and prepare them."
