Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

On June 27th, the NBA ushered in the annual draft, and Madison Square Garden, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again.

General managers from 30 teams in the league...coaches, scouts and other staff gather here to select the right rookies for their respective teams with their draft picks in anticipation of the new season that will come in a few months. Get off to a good start.

Of course, the teams that have received the most attention are the teams holding lottery picks. The top six teams this year are: Wizards, 76ers, Nets, Timberwolves, Kings, and Warriors.

The Pistons and Clippers, who played a mess last season, finished seventh and eighth, respectively, and should be the worst teams in this draft.

It can only be said that in addition to being bad in the draft, luck is also very important.

In addition to the team, the players participating in the draft are of course one of the protagonists. Most of them who have just participated in the NCAA come here with their family members and friends with a green or nervous smile, looking forward to the moment when the carp leaps to the dragon gate. .

As long as they are selected, whether it is the first round or the second round, they will have the opportunity to change their lives.

The reporters also took the time to capture the youthful appearance of the rookies at this time. These are important video materials when they become famous or retire.

Of course, the reporter has another task tonight, and that is to interview Zuo Li, who has appeared at the draft conference for three consecutive years. After all, Zuo Li appeared last year and personally took his brother Curry away. Now it has proved that it is the most underrated A draft, and Zuo Li's agency will also have many players participating in this draft, so the reporters also want to know which player Zuo Li has taken a fancy to this time.

But unfortunately, Zuo Li came to the venue early wearing a hat, and refused to be interviewed with a smile. After all, he did not want to steal the limelight from the rookies. It is not easy to participate in the draft. This is the starting point of their dreams, and it should be worth it. Be respected.

What's more, the Knicks have no first-round draft picks at all this year. The only two draft picks are all in the second round. They are still the 38th and 39th. According to Zuo Li's understanding of this rookie, this position can be bought like last year's Beibei. The probability of a baby like Foley is almost zero.

Oh, no, in my memory, Stephenson, who played for the Pacers after that, was the 40th pick in this session. His strength is indeed not bad.

"Fairy Wood"

It's the brain...

Although Zuo Li didn't like Lao Zhan either, but he couldn't appreciate the actions of defending his face by blowing air and untying his shoelaces when grabbing a rebound.

So forget it.

As for the previous second-round pick, Dabaibian is a good choice, but the Knicks are not short of people on the inside, and even a little bloated. Anderson can't get enough playing time, so Zuo Li is also a little hesitant, whether to use two A second-round pick traded up.

"Actually yes, we don't have to use it ourselves when I choose. Wilson Chandler has the idea of ​​leaving. We can use the rookie to trade for a guard, or the 3." D'Antoni's remarks dispelled Zuo Li's Doubt, let Zuo Li decide, you can use 38, 39 to trade up.

Indeed, although the Knicks won the championship, most people expressed their desire to stay in the team, but there are still players who want to leave to pursue big contracts, such as Wilson Chandler, who has already talked to Zuo Li, he hopes Go to a team that offers him a bigger contract.

Zuo Li also felt that it was normal. Pursuing interests was understandable in the commercial league. After all, in addition to the championship, money was also very important to every player.

So the Knicks have decided to let players who want to go out to chase big contracts leave. Anyway, as the defending champion, the Knicks are absolutely popular in the free market, and since Zuo Li and other core members of the championship are basically rookie contracts, so the Knicks have Terrible salary space.

Dolan has told Zuo Li before that as long as Zuo Li needs it, he can sign two or three All-Stars to assist Zuo Zuoli, even James.

But he was rejected by Zuo Li. He already needs almost the people he needs, especially the top All-Star is already in the lineup. All they need to do is to continue to cultivate Curry and wait for the growth of Beverley and others.

When they all reach their peaks, the Knicks will be even more terrifying.

So Zuoli's request this summer is to tinker and solve the problems that occurred last season, such as adding an experienced guy at the second and third positions, which is what the Knicks lack most on the outside.

This person, Zuo Li, has already been selected. Yesterday, Zuo Li called Dayao. Whether he can do it or not depends on the past two days.

Then it is to reinforce the coaching staff by the way. Under Zuo Li's suggestion, D'Antoni has been like Cole, and Mark Jackson has sent an invitation. As long as one is added, the coaching staff will be supplemented greatly, and then we need to find another one. A reliable defensive coach, this candidate is still under consideration for Zuo Li. Maybe Zuo Li needs to go home and think about it before he can get an answer.

And just as Zuo Li and the management decided to trade up the two draft picks, the current draft has finally begun.

Just as Zuo Li remembers, Zuo Li's John Wall was selected by the Wizards as the number one pick.

The 76ers selected Turner, the Nets, and the Timberwolves selected Wesley Johnson.

After Sanlianshui, the king once again selected Zuo Li's player Cousins, and the Kentucky duo were all in the top five, which made Zuo Li's Z-team limelight.

This is not over, Paul George was selected by the Pacers in the tenth place, and Rich Paul, sitting in the front row, suddenly became the most dazzling agent on the scene.

And Rich Paul sighed at Zuo Li's vision~www.readwn.com~ These are all Zuo Li's request to sign.

ESPN sighed after this scene: "A giant brokerage company is finally revealed. In the future, no one dares to ignore the Z-team. They will be the biggest spoiler in the league."

Soon the first round of the draft was over, and there was no gap in memory. In the second round, the Knicks successfully selected Whiteside with the No. 33 pick just traded with the Kings.

This also means that the Knicks draft has come to an end.

After the game, Zuo Li also attended the celebration held by the brokerage company, and then also met his fan brother Cousins.

As soon as he entered the door, Cousins ​​shyly stood in front of the left standing and asked for a group photo.

"Zuo Li! Oh no! Boss! I want to play like you in the future!"

"Pfft!" Zuo Li almost spit out a mouthful of water, like me? You think your Achilles tendon is healthy, right?

When the Achilles tendon ruptures and you are bullied by a group of people who are not as good as you, you will know that you will regret it!

So Zuo Liyu patted Cousins ​​on the shoulder earnestly: "You will definitely be better than me in the inside line, practice your back, this is the foundation, oh, a three-pointer is also possible, you don't need a breakthrough, by the way, the most important thing is It's good to lose weight... Look at me, I'm taller than you and thinner than you, isn't the confrontation just as strong?"

Cousins ​​took the first step, and he almost wrote it down. He has admired Zuo Li for a long time. After all, it is unbelievable that the inside line can hit Zuo Li to such an extent.

As for Zuo Li, I don't know if Cousins ​​has listened to it. In short, Zuo Li has done his best. After all, he can't watch this kid play with his Achilles tendon.

Although he is average-minded and prone to irritability, he is not bad. This time they signed the contract, they themselves went to Wall. I didn't expect Cousins ​​to come to the door by himself, so he helped him if he could.
