I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 178 The Turbulent Draft
On June 6, the first game of the Finals between the Lakers and Celtics officially started at Staples Arena.

Kobe's efficiency is good, scoring 30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.

It's hard for the Lakers to lose in a game where they play efficiently.

Moreover, Kobe has a perfect second-in-command Paul Gasol.

He played very well in this game, scoring a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds, which is an absolute contributor to the team's victory.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Celtics 102-89 and got a good start in the finals.

After the first game of the Finals, Lakers fans were ecstatic and said that the Lakers would win the final championship.

On June 6, the second game of the NBA Finals continued at the Staples Arena.

In this game, Ray Allen showed off his power, making 11 of 8 three-pointers, setting a single-game three-point record in the Finals.

他全场比赛轰下32分3篮板2助攻的数据，带领凯尔特人队赢下了比赛，把总比分扳为1比1平。

The Celtics were able to win the game, and Rondo also contributed a lot.

He scored a triple-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, the first time in his career to get a triple-double in the Finals.

After the second game of the Finals, the Celtics fans stood up and said that the Celtics would beat the Lakers to win the championship just like they did in 08.

Just as the finals were in full swing, the Warriors owner's sale of the team, which fans were more concerned about, finally came to an end.

Joe Lacob teamed up with his partner Mandalay Films founder Guber to spend $6 million to acquire the Warriors.

Lacob has been an avid basketball fan since he was very young. Like all children who love basketball, he dreams of one day owning an NBA team of his own.

He finally waited for this day, successfully acquired the Warriors, became the owner of the team, and fulfilled his childhood dream.

But Lacob was not satisfied with this. He wanted to build the Warriors into a team as great as the Celtics.

After he became the owner of the Warriors, he immediately reorganized the Warriors management.

First, promote Warriors general manager Larry Riley to the team's president of basketball affairs and hire Bob Myers as the team's general manager.

After that, it took a lot of effort to invite Logo man Jerry West to join the Warriors management as a team consultant and at the same time become a member of the Warriors' executive committee.

As for other aspects, no major adjustments have been made.

After forming the core management team, Nelson, Jerry West, Bob Myers and others began to discuss the next draft and offseason team reinforcement plan.

After the Warriors changed their bosses, the fans refocused their attention on the finals.

On June 6, the third game of the finals was played at the North Shore Garden team.

The result of this game was once again unexpected.

After the Celtics returned to the home court, they failed to pursue the victory and win the game. Instead, the team was in a sluggish state and lost the game.

这场比赛科比轰下29分7篮板4助攻2抢断3盖帽的数据。

Although Naka's shooting rate is a bit low, his contribution on the defensive end is indispensable, which can be regarded as making up for it.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Celtics 91-84, leading 2-1 overall.

On June 6, the fourth game of the finals was still played by the North Shore Garden team.

Although Kobe scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in this game, the Lakers still lost.

Relying on strong defense, the Celtics team scored in double figures with six players, and won the game with difficulty, tying the total score to 2-2.

In the ensuing battle of Tianwang Mountain, the two sides fought extremely anxiously.

Kobe's comprehensive data of 38 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists is also difficult to help the team win.

In the end, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 92 to 86, leading the total score 3 to 2, and won the match point.

On June 6, the sixth game of the finals returned to the Staples Arena.

In this game, Kobe once again scored a game-high 26 points, leading the Lakers to an 89-67 victory over the Celtics, tying the total score at 3-3 and entering the tiebreaker.

David Stern breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Lakers win Game [-] of the Finals.

This year's finals helped the NBA gain a lot of ratings and made the league a lot of money.

The ratings will definitely increase significantly from the finals to the tiebreaker.

On June 6, the seventh game of the finals was played again at the Staples Arena.

Kobe performed poorly in this game, shooting 24 of 6 from the field and scoring a game-high 23 points, but he made up for it by grabbing 15 rebounds.

Gasol scored a double-double of 19 points and 18 rebounds, which is the biggest contributor to the victory.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly beat the Celtics 83 to 79, eliminated the Celtics with a total score of 4 to 3, and won the championship.

Kobe got his wish and won the second FMVP trophy in his career.

So far, the 09~10 season has officially come to an end!

……

……

On June 6, the 24 NBA Draft officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden.

Sun Yi sneaked out of his busy schedule and squeezed out time to watch the draft in the apartment.

On the TV screen, after NBA Commissioner David Stern made the same opening remarks, the draft officially began.

The Washington Wizards, holding the No. [-] pick, selected John Wall without any hesitation.

In the scouting report, Wall's draft template is Marbury and Rose. The lower limit is not low, and they are proper All-Star embryos.

Next, the Nets, who got the second pick, selected Evan Turner.

If Turner is not an older draft player, he is likely to be the No. [-] pick in this year's draft.

This guy has made a name for himself in the NCAA, and his popularity is in full swing. He completed the grand slam of the important individual awards of American University in 2010, with a collection of honors.

Although Turner failed to play in the NBA, it is not considered second place in the parallel imports. The Nets can only accept this cruel reality with tears.

Immediately afterwards, the Digital People selected DeMarcus Cousins ​​with the third pick.

Cousins' performance in this year's March Madness was remarkable and helped Davidson College defend its NCAA championship.

Although this guy is simple-minded, he is extremely talented and has great potential. It is a matter of course that he can be selected with the second overall pick.

After drafting Cousins, the Numbersmen will absolutely take off next season.

The outside line has Holiday and Iguodala, and the inside line has Captain Brand and Cousins.

Such a starting lineup is indeed luxurious enough, and there are also giants such as Louis Williams, Thaddeus Young, Hawes, and Speights on the bench.

After seeing the selection of the Numbermen team, Sun Yi silently mourned for Lao Zhan.

It is conceivable that James will definitely lose a layer of skin if he wants to stand out from the East next season.

"The NBA is getting more and more interesting, and it's challenging to face the unknown."

Sun Yi didn't think much, and continued to watch the draft.

Afterwards, the Timberwolves selected Wesley Johnson with the fourth overall pick.

With the fifth overall pick, the Kings selected Derrick Favors.

Next comes the focus!
The Los Angeles Clippers selected small forward Kawhi Leonard from Davidson College with the sixth overall pick.

In this year's March Madness, Leonard led Davidson College to defend the NCAA championship, and his college career was considered complete.

Moreover, his draft prediction ranking on the authoritative website entered the lottery zone, he did not stay in school for another year, and signed up for the draft in advance.

In the scout report, Leonard's draft template is Sun Yi, but apart from being similar in stature to Sun Yi, he cannot be compared with Sun Yi in other aspects, just like a weakened version of Sun Yi.

Therefore, Leonard's prospects are not favored by scouts, and he is expected to be selected at the end of the lottery.

The Clippers' ability to select Leonard with the sixth pick is considered a gamble.

Last year they missed Sun Yi with the No. [-] pick and regretted it very much. This year they will not miss the "weakened version of Sun Yi" again.

In front of the TV, Sun Yi felt bad after seeing the Clippers drafting Leonard.

If the Clippers trade for Chris Paul next year to form a combination of Paul + Griffin + Leonard, then the Clippers will really become an aircraft carrier.

"It's really too difficult to break out from the devil's division in the West!"

It's hard for Sun Yi to imagine what the West will be like in the next few seasons.

"Hey! This is not something I should consider. Let the management have a headache!" Sun Yi did not worry about it and continued to watch the draft.

With the seventh pick, the Detroit Pistons selected Greg Monroe.

With the eighth pick, the Utah Jazz selected Gordon Hayward.

With the ninth overall pick, the Indiana Pacers selected Paul George.

After Sun Yi saw that George was elected, he secretly thought it was a pity.

During this period of time, the management of the newly reorganized Warriors team held many meetings and discussions, and finally decided to focus on Sun Yi as the core of the team, and carry out the recruitment and selection work based on his playing style characteristics.

Therefore, before the draft, Warriors management Jerry West and Nelson specifically asked Sun Yi for his draft advice.

Sun Yi's suggestion at the time was to trade up, strive for a higher pick, and use this draft pick to select Paul George.

But the trade plan didn't quite work out, and the general managers of other teams weren't all fools.

The Warriors traded up their 22nd pick in the first round and paid a certain amount of chips in exchange for the Timberwolves' 16th pick.

"Since Plan A has gone bankrupt, we can only start Plan B. I hope there will be no accidents."

Sun Yi calmed down and continued to watch the draft.

On the TV screen, Stern was announcing the No. 13 pick in the first round.

This is a very metaphysical pick, and many well-known shooting guards have been born in this pick.

There is a saying circulating in the league: If you don't know what kind of player to pick with the 13th pick in the first round, it's better to pick a shooting guard.

The Toronto Raptors didn't believe this evil and selected power forward Ed Davis.

The subsequent ranking was almost the same as what Sun Yi remembered.

Since this year is a young draft year, there are no good seedlings, and most teams have selected their favorite players.

With the 16th pick, the Timberwolves helped the Warriors select Eric Bledsoe.

When Bledsoe learned that he had been selected by the Timberwolves, his face fell instantly. He didn't want to go to Minnesota in the ice and snow.

Moreover, the Timberwolves have too many defenders and he has no chance to play.

But not long after, Bledsoe was as happy as a child after learning from his agent that he had been traded to the Warriors.

With the help and care of his two seniors, Sun Yi and Curry, he believes that his future is bright.

Seeing that Plan B was successful, Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Bledsoe's physical fitness is very strong and his defensive ability is excellent. He will be selected to the best defensive team in the future. He is more than enough to be Curry's substitute.

"The problem of the weak point guard line has been alleviated." Sun Yi feels that the executive power of his team's management is very strong.

Sun Yi did not continue to pay attention to the remaining picks in the first round, waiting for the arrival of the second round.

Not long after, the second-round draft began.

The previous picks were the same as in Sun Yi's memory, there was no difference.

When he got the eighth pick in the second round, Sun Yi was refreshed and focused on the TV screen.

"The eighth pick in the second round, the Golden State Warriors selected Landry Fields!" NBA Vice President Tatum announced impassionedly.

In front of the TV, Sun Yi was a little dazed when he saw the Warriors' selection. He didn't understand what was going on, and it was different from the plan.

Just as he was calling to inquire about the management of the Warriors, his scalp tingled when he saw the trade information displayed on the TV screen.

"How could it be him?!" Sun Yi was a little shocked.

Originally, the Warriors wanted to use the eighth pick in the second round to select Stephenson, but not long after the second round of the draft started, Nets general manager Billy King suddenly called to seek a trade.

After hearing Nets general manager Billy King's trade plan, Jerry West readily agreed.

The Nets sent the UAE and got the eighth pick in the second round + some cash from the Warriors.

Sun Yi stared blankly at the continuing draft, thinking about problems in his mind.

Domestic fans must be overjoyed that the UAE was traded to the Warriors, and media reporters have news to report. This is bound to cause a huge sensation in the domestic basketball area.

What Sun Yi cares about is whether the UAE can integrate into the Warriors' system.

If the UAE is integrated into the Warriors' system, it will be very helpful to him, and he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the NBA and will not return to the CBA to dominate.

In the subsequent draft, the Lakers selected power forward Derek Karakot with the 58th overall pick.

At this point, the 10-year draft has come to an end.

This year's draft was more exciting than Sun Yi had imagined.

The Digital Man team and the Clippers have found treasures, and there is a trend of skyrocketing.

The Warriors also completed the draft task, and there are some small surprises, the overall strength of the team has improved.

There are no changes for other teams, and they can only look forward to making a difference in the next free market.

After the draft, the general managers of each team have devoted their energy to the upcoming free market.

This year's free market is much more lively. With many big-name stars expiring or opting out of their contracts to test the waters, there will definitely be some deals that shock the league.
