Dominate the basketball world, starting from the skyhook skill

Chapter 49
TNT TV station, "NBA Daily Heavyweight" column live room.

"After talking about the format of this year's playoffs, let's talk about the upcoming draft."

O'Neill took out a stack of documents.

"Charles, that old man Popo finally got his wish."

In the just-concluded 2023-2024 season draft lottery, the Spurs won the No. 14 pick with a [-]% chance.

"Oh, that old guy, another reason to delay retirement!"

Buckley took a sip of the Coke in front of him, and envied the little old man in his 70s again.

The Spurs just failed this season and successfully won the No. [-] lottery.

Their last No. [-] lottery was the most powerful forward in history-Tim Duncan.

The last one is David Robinson.

These two epic insiders have allowed the Spurs to rank among the top teams since the 90s, and have won 20 NBA championships in the past 5 years.

And Popovich also gained fame and fortune, becoming the head coach with the number one win in NBA history.

"I can assure you that the Spurs will definitely pick Wenban Yama for the No. [-] pick."

Shaq was back to the same cliché.

"To be honest, I really don't like this guy, but I can't stand everyone saying that he is a once-in-a-century super genius!"

At the end, he added, "Nowadays, the media always want to make big news!"

"Hahaha, Shaq, don't be sour."

Buckley winked at him.

"If you were born in this era to participate in the draft, then you are a rare genius, but unfortunately you are already over 50 years old."

Didn’t Lu Xun say that if you have Joe, you can choose Joe, if you don’t have Joe, you can choose Shark!

"Shaq, you can dissatisfy his height of 2 meters, or his wingspan of 24 meters, but he must have one advantage, he is taller than you!"

O'Neill seemed to be stabbed in the sore spot, and recalled the taunts from his ex-wife.

"Haha, don't get me wrong, I mean, his free throw must be better than yours!"

In this year's NBA draft, when Wenban Yama, the second-generation baguette, announced his candidacy, the No. [-] pick lost suspense.

The two romped for a while, arguing over whether to choose Scott Henderson or Brandon Miller for second place, all the way to which club in Los Angeles had better fruit plate.

In the end, O'Neill held down Barkley, who was about to release himself, and quickly brought the topic back.

"Charles, your son Li Kevin also announced that he will participate in the draft this year. What do you think?"

"He is this year's MOP, the one who scored 53 points in the finals and made a buzzer-beater. You ask me what do you think?"

"Of course I was watching on the spot."

Barkley smiled.

"Come on, I like this guy very much, smart brain, solid dribbling, fast speed, and the same hard and thick back hitting ability as me.

But I had to say some nasty things and give him some advice before the draft. "

He opened the player data booklet in front of his desk, and there were a lot of dots in Li Kaiwen's column.

This old man really didn't just admire him with his mouth, but his body was quite honest.

"Before Li entered the finals, his three-point shooting percentage was 11%, and he basically didn't shoot long two-pointers, so they were not included in the calculation."

"And in the finals, don't look at him scoring four three-pointers in a row at the critical moment, the last one is still a super long three-pointer lore,"

He paused,

"But don't forget, before that, he missed nine three-pointers in a row."

"In the era of small ball, a point guard who can't make three-pointers and mid-range shots, you know what I'm going to say."

O'Neill also understood what he meant.

Kevin Lee's situation is particularly like last year's rookie Kenneth Lofton Jr.

This man is 2 meters tall, but weighs an astonishing 125 kilograms.

Because of his naive appearance, everyone calls him chubby.

During the NCAA period, Xiaopang was the best rookie of the year in his division, and was also selected for the US U19 World Youth Championship lineup.

In the World Youth Championship match against China, he scored a team-high 16 points and led the team to win the championship against the penalty area guarded by Wen Banyama.

In terms of back hitting ability alone, this one is incomparably superior to Li Kaiwen.

He even has enough shots, but he came to the draft full of ambitions.

Was directly Karma.

Strong post-up ability may be an advantage in college basketball, but in the NBA, who will sit down and play with you one by one?

The NBA now pursues playing small balls. It doesn’t just mean that you are small and fast, but that you must be able to shoot goals while being fast!

After all, fans bought tickets to come in, not to watch the two sides race each other.

O'Neill nodded and continued to ask.

"Then what do you predict about Li Kaiwen's draft market?"

"I predict he'll be picked in the second round."

Barkley closed the data booklet, straightened his body again, and looked at the camera.

"Li Kevin, if you can watch this show, remember to practice shooting hard from now on."

In fact, in order not to delay Li Kaiwen's draft market, he still has a lot of worries to say.

For example, shooting is really not something that can be practiced just by practicing.

Official Simon nodded and said yes, this thing is really difficult to practice.

When the show was about to end, a staff member suddenly opened the door of the live broadcast room.

Then a bull was brought in.

Barkley clapped and laughed.

"Shaq, remember our bet?"

He got up himself and led the strong bull over.

"Syracuse wins, you lose."

Old Ao looked at the bull that was full of sinew and flesh, its head was getting bigger.

Its ox tail was still swaying non-stop. Apart from a stinking hole under the ox tail, there was also a cow Huanxi of the same level as Ibaka.

Hey, if I want to have this scale, will I still be slandered by my ex-wife?

After hesitating for a while, under Barkley's urging, O'Neill kissed him straight up.

In ancient times, Barkley kissed the ass of a donkey, but now O'Neal is bragging!
This episode is destined to explode!

"Ah bah bah bah, it's disgusting."

O'Neill pinched his nose and screamed strangely. Of course he couldn't forget the instigator of this incident.

"I didn't kiss the butt, but the face of Li Kaiwen, a bully!"

With the broadcast of this episode, Li Kaiwen's nickname of "Brute Bull" spread like wildfire.

But Lao Li, who has already returned to the United States, doesn't know about it yet.

Because now he is fully preparing for the NBA joint trial training in mid-May.

This year's joint trial list has 78 people, but some popular draft picks, such as Wenbanyama and Henderson, who must enter the lottery zone, will not come to participate.

They all go through the VIP channel and only participate in the individually invited trials of each team.

To be honest, this will also have a great risk. For example, Wiseman, who slipped through the net before, if he could come to receive a joint trial training at that time, then his quality can be seen immediately.

The fraud that later shocked the entire Golden State would not have happened.

In two days, Li Kaiwen and his group of newcomers will undergo a physical test first, and then start the group competition.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, let's take them out for a walk.

　In reality, this year’s champion is UConn, and UConn’s core is Jordan Hawkins, who’s real market is at the end of the first round and early in the second round, so it’s normal that Li Kaiwen’s draft pick is not high.
