From Today it is the King of the Basketball

As the draft was getting closer and closer, the Hawks were conducting team drafts while conducting team activities.

Compared to the Suns with only a 21st pick in the first round this year, the Hawks, who also completed the Finals but have the No. 10 and No. 17 picks and the second round of the No. 13 pick, will be much harder.

After the championship parade, the Hawks can finally concentrate all their attention on the draft training.

Of the 31 rookies on the first day's invitation list, all of the top 15 except Ross and Westbrook invited a second trial, mainly because the two Hawks did not have a chance.

Liu Mang was also drawn into the "coaching group" to give you a rookie for trial training.

Every year the draft conference is when some people's dreams come true. When some people's dreams are shattered, up to 60 selected rookies shine in the spotlight, but there are hundreds of candidates every year, most of which are not invited by the teams The rookie of the election has to run from city to city, looking forward to the advent of the goddess of luck.

When the Hawks hurry up for trial training, for many teams, the season has been over for a long time, for a long time ...

Some things have already been carried out in secret, and the dark surge before the storm in the offseason has already boiled.

By June 23rd, the 27th draft meeting was just around the corner, but at this time some teams could not hold back ...

Looking at the draft list provided by coach Kruger and Liu Mang, Price found a name that was hot recently but the parties might want to cry, and asked: "This guy? Oh, Ace, I got The news, no team wants to pick him in the first round, does he have any advantages? If we know you want to pick him, we will leave him for another round of training. "

"Yes, he was too uninsured in the first round, but we can try it in the second round ..." Liu Mang responded.

Liu Mang is also looking at the draft list submitted by Coach Kruger, and coach Kruger is also looking at the draft list submitted by Liu Mang.

It was discovered that the direction of Kruger ’s draft was very different from his own, which Liu Mang had long expected.

However, coach Kruger ’s suggestion that trading the No. 10 sign to get rid of some of the team ’s contracts coincided with Liu Mang. Liu Mang wanted to open the No. 10 sign while removing Brad Miller. In the last year, 8 million contracts were sent away ...

On the 17th, Liu Mang wanted a man with a legend of 28 cm. Coach Kruger wanted twin brothers ...

As for the prediction of the 10th pick, people think that the Eagles will choose the twin brothers. Coach Liu Mang and Kruger do not want this draft pick. The cornerstone type inside is not necessary in the case of Kwame Brown.

In the past seven years, Liu Mang's perspective on the draft has basically not changed. Relying on the prophets and foresight, coupled with the understanding of the lineup and tactics brought by the players, he drafts according to the desired system.

Coach Kruger is making progress every year!

Looking at the several names provided by Coach Kruger, Liu Mang feels that it will not be much worse than his prophet ’s choice. The role types are the same, but the goal of Coach Kruger is half weak. A grade.

Liu Mang has a similar style to the list given by coach Kruger, so it's easy to manage, just consider the player's personality, potential, etc. to rank which rookie is the preferred choice.

Just as the coaching staff was having a lively discussion with Liu Mang and Price, the phone in the boss's office rang.

When Price was connected to the phone, he wouldn't become very weird, and it would be curious to make the seven or eight people around him staring at him.

"There's a team deal, a big deal." Price opened the computer, searched, and turned the screen toward the others in the office.

"... Crazy?" Liu Mang's first reaction to seeing this deal was like this ...

On June 23, 2008, in a trivial deal about the draft right before the draft, a shocking bomb was suddenly exposed!

The Cavaliers sent Tyson Chandler plus Larry Hughes's junk contract and traded the Suns' O'Neal, Lagaber and Boris Dior.

This transaction ... came suddenly!

Liu Mang didn't know how to describe the transaction.

And then there was news that the Suns would cut Larry Hughes on Houston terms.

"Josh's big contract is going to take effect, and the Suns are looking for ways to lower their salaries ..." Liu Mang guessed the Suns' intention to trade, and felt that this possibility is very likely.

Although the core lineup of this very successful season has just been removed, it is not too difficult for the fans to accept. After all, it has been proved that the Suns lineup cannot do the Hawks. The Suns have reached the last step. , Their goal has not only been to the final step, and the previous dream is to enter the finals has changed a lot.

And with one year old O'Neill plus two role players, he got Tyson Chandler, the top defensive center! By the way, he also got rid of Dior ’s big contract. Although he sent La Gabell to let the Suns defend the outside line, but after losing O’Neal, the Suns basically do n’t think about any defense, and they got the expired contract of Larry Hughes. It can be amnesty, only one year of money to reduce the huge luxury tax brought by O'Neill's two-year contract, the Suns are absolutely not losing money.

But what is the mentality of the Cavaliers?

Liu Mang looked at the current lineup of the Cavaliers, O'Neill, Peja ...

Not to mention the compatibility of Billups and O’Neal. Only O’Neal and Peja ’s grievances are enough for the Cavaliers ’management team and coaching staff. O’Neal will not mention it. Drifting, but he is a fierce Eastern European, former Yugoslavia, who has always had no good face for O'Neill.

Then in a peak period, the giant center may have a good pick and roll but now basically has no pick and roll ability.

Liu Mang mourned for Zhan Zhan Zhan, but Liu Mang couldn't figure out what the Cavaliers thought, had to check IQ?

Liu Mang feels that O'Neill is like a 750ti or 1050ti graphics card ...

The Heat can use it well. At that time, O'Neal was still worth 100 million at the peak. The Suns can use it well. They just got a traditional point guard suitable for O'Neal from the Hawks.

What does the Cavaliers map?

Liu Mang felt that he should never guess what the thinking of a gambler who has been losing loses.

Liu Mang could n’t understand the Cavaliers ’map, and few media, fans, or players from each team could understand it.

LeBron James, who lost the most solid center of the pick-and-roll, rejected all interview invitations after the deal. This matter made headlines ~ www.readwn.com ~ But there are some people who are optimistic about this deal. After all, the Cavaliers get O'Neill, the Cavaliers haven't played traditional positional play. What if they change their play better?

The Cavaliers have made a lot of movement here, but it will not affect the progress of time. Soon, on June 26, tomorrow will be the draft conference.

Liu Mang came to New York with the coaching staff and the boss. In recent days, the Hawks are negotiating deals with some teams on the 10th round of the first round.

Liu Mang feels that the management of these teams has mastered the skills, not directly picking the draft, but wanting the Hawks to choose a good person and then trade.

This made Liu Mang and the Eagles management very painful, what if the other side regretted after they chose a good person? The people selected may not be bad, but they are not the same as the needs of their own team, it is very troublesome, and they cannot delay the future of their rookie.

However, the Hawks are not in a hurry here, and they can't do it ... just hit a low-key and select the people you want with high rank. Anyway, Liu Mang knows which low ranks will rise behind, and there are especially many talents in 2008.

At the hotel on Manhattan Island, when he was on the elevator, Liu Mang was still talking to coach Kruger about which teams might not make the playoffs next season, and which teams would trade the draft right next year. .

After they put their things together, the Hawks came to New York to gather in the owner's suite. They will be drafted tomorrow. It is necessary to decide the use of the No. 10 pick in the last 30 hours or less.

When it's 10 o'clock in the middle of the night and 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the boss asks the employees to go to rest first, and then continue talking tomorrow morning.

At this time, Price received an unexpected call from the North ...
