The Rest, Only Noise

Vol 2 Chapter 1565: Behind the scenes calculations

"The Los Angeles Lakers selected Chris Paul with the second pick in the first round...!"

Dumas exclaimed: "This is really a gamble!"

Bird looked at Louis: "What do you think?"

What do you think? Louis suddenly felt that maybe the Lakers would establish a second dynasty under Zhao Yuanzheng.

Whether it's the decisiveness of the transaction or the trickiness of the vision, Zhao Yuanzheng has been trained under Louis for many years.

"I think..." Louie's answer was surprising, "The Lakers selected the best pure point guard for the next ten years."

Ewing only had doubts about this: "Is it that good?"

"Let's see."

After Paul was selected, the highlight turned out to be his younger brother.

Paul's younger brother CJ fondly recalls all the arguments he and his brother had had, including one in which Paul even pointed a knife at him.

Regarding the scene of sibling respect, cj actually said: "It's all out of love!" It is reported that cj will drop out of school and work for his brother as his manager and personal assistant.

In other words, he wants to **** blood, **** blood fiercely, who made his brother point a knife at him?

Louis thought for a while, even if Garnett is leaving, even if Prince is traded, the Lakers will still have Kobe, Paul, Artest, Kevin Martin, and Barbosa in the new season. This is a good six-man team . Moreover, the salary space vacated by Garnett allows them to go to the free market to chase star players to strengthen the inside.

It can be said that the Lakers' transactions and choices have ensured the basic market for the next ten years. What will happen if Kobe and Paul, the top guards of the new generation who have not been able to join forces in their previous lives, get together?

Then came the Portland Trail Blazers, who held the third pick.

They won the No. 1 lottery last year and Dwight Howard showed talent, but the rebuild is just getting started.

This year's No. 3 pick, the Blazers made a wrong choice.

They skipped Deron Williams in favor of Marvin Williams' talent.

This is certainly a choice that rebuilding teams will make.

It needs to be talented, not suitable for the team.

Marvin Williams has almost everything, height, width, length, physicality, shooting ability, and he lacks something to combine talents.

Moreover, Ma Wen has the unique "popularity" of his peers.

Everyone talks about how easygoing he is, how professional he is, and how much these traits help him realize his talents and so on.

The host of abc said: "The sky is the limit for Marvin. His talent is unbelievable. Whether it is energy on the field, athleticism, or agility, he is one of the most outstanding in this draft. He also has a complete The skill set, especially his range, fits seamlessly into the NBA."

Perhaps the host was blowing too much, Louis couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The most special thing about him is that he can't even start @重量书阁 in North Carolina."

The selection after the Memphis Grizzlies proved that Danny Ainge is the biggest winner of this draft.

Use the No. 2 pick from the Lakers in exchange for half a set of @重量书阁 starting lineup and two future first-rounders, and then use the No. 4 pick to select Deron Williams.

These operations allowed Louis to see Angie's growth. He is no longer the rookie who gave away his first-round pick in 1997 and thought he was very profitable.

With the rise of An Ji and Zhao Yuanzheng, the Lu Department's gm began to emerge in the league just like the Lu Department's coach.

The Sonics took away the eyebrowless hero Charlie Villanueva with the fifth pick.

After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally the turn of the Celtics.

Louie called Jerry Sloan, "Unless you change your mind, you should be able to tell me who you want to vote by now, right?"

Logically speaking, the Jazz should choose Martell Webster.

Although this high school student is only a rough embryo, he is already the most promising player left in the small green room.

The Jazz's training system is good. If he can understand the five-outside cut, he may be able to develop better than his previous life.

But Sloan's choice surprised Louis for a while.

"We want Channing Frye."

Louis was silent for a few seconds, as if asking Sloan: Are you sure?

"Is there something wrong?" Sloane asked.

"It's nothing." Louis and Sloan were friends who didn't know each other well, so there was no need to remind him that Frye's choice was bad. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Channing Frye."

Hearing Sloan's choice, many people in the Celtics' draft war room were puzzled.

"What made Coach Sloan choose to pass up Szczerbiak for a center who's not grabbing eight rebounds per game in college basketball?"

Ranbir had an expression of "I'm speechless".

Scouting director Andy Greer added rigorously: "And a senior center who averaged less than eight rebounds per game."

Bird asked with a smile, "Then what are his strengths?"

"Shooting," Greer said. "He's a solid shooter, which fits the Utah five-out system, but they already have Chris Bosh and Troy Murphy."

From now on, there will be no Celtics for a long time. Because the draft picks they hold are the 29th and 30th picks in the first round.

So, let's fast-forward the narrative.

Andrew Bynum, the youngest high school player this year, went to the Magic. When Danny Granger was selected by the Pacers as the No. 15 pick, Louie realized how serious the consequences of not doing his job well.

Since Louie felt from the very beginning that there were not many candidates for this draft, he completely gave up the idea of ​​selecting candidates after he glanced at the list of candidates.

When the Pacers selected Granger, Louie's first reaction was "this guy is from the class of 2005"?

Obviously, Granger is much more fragrant than Szczerbiak.

But Louis can comfort himself in this way, at least the existence of Szczerbiak has laid the foundation for the no-black championship team that may or may not exist in the future, which is something Granger cannot do.

Gerald Green, a talented high school student known as the upper limit of Jordan and lower limit of Kobe Bryant, was selected by the New Orleans Hornets.

Little potato Nate Robinson and @重量书阁 starting killer Jarrett Jack went to the Raptors and Supersonics respectively.

And then...after an hour of waiting, the Celtics finally got to draft. Louie selected David Lee with the 29th pick, Essen Ilyasova with the 30th pick, and Jose Calderon with the 29th pick in the second round. In addition, Monta Ellis and Louis Williams, two of the second round leftovers, were both selected by the Golden State Warriors.

The draft ended as usual.

Louie's choice was a little controversial, and it was found that since legendlu returned to Boston, his preference for international players has been greatly strengthened.

It is true that he has selected many excellent international players, but some teams that followed the wind to select international players lost their underwear.

At this time, everyone discovered one thing, Louis is simply a trend-setter. When everyone was terrified of high school players, Louis first used the middle of the first round to select Shawn Kemp, a player who was recognized as a problem in New York, and then completely led the trend of high school players in the Lakers. After the beginning of the century, let international players become the most popular existence in the draft.

The problem is that in the past five years, the only international players who have really had a positive impact on their teams are Yao Yueban and Gasol. Kirilenko, Ginobili.

These guys have one thing in common, they all played for the Celtics, they were all drafted by Louie.

Facts have proved that there is nothing wrong with choosing international players, but those who follow suit are wrong. The mystery of international players is a plus in the eyes of NBA management. Because of the mystery and the unknown, they seem to be more risky, while American college players are paid attention to by scouts around the clock, long before they participate in the election. , professionals are well aware of their shortcomings.

Faced with a local player with obvious shortcomings, and a talented international player with many unknowns, everyone will choose the latter.

This is the joy of lottery.

UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Louis expressed that he would not take the blame for the draft trend he had personally created.

Because it's not like he forced those stupid GMs to make a choice.

On the third day after the draft, the Celtics held a huge championship tour city celebration in the city center.

Above the celebration, Louis publicly announced the construction plan of the new arena.

Louie promised that Celtics fans will have the best home arena in the league. This will be a luxury comprehensive stadium costing 250 million to 350 million US dollars and is expected to be completed within 4-5 years.

The fans were beyond excited.

Reid Auerbach also came to the scene, but he didn't speak, just sat in the parade car and felt the atmosphere of the city's celebration.

When Lu Wuxia walked to the front of the stage, the response was extremely enthusiastic. No other Celtics player had such crazy popularity.

Flawless promised the home fans that he would bring the championship back next year. At that moment, the atmosphere of celebration reached its peak and everyone enjoyed it.

A day later, the NBA officially announced a three-way deal: the Charlotte Bobcats sent Channing Frye the right to sign, the Boston Celtics sent Tony Parker and Tony Kukoc, and the Utah Jazz sent Wally Szer The right to sign Biak and Eisen Ilyasova. In the end, the Bobcats got Tony Parker, the Celtics got the rights to Wally Szczerbiak and Ersan Ilyasova, and the Jazz got the rights to Tony Kukoc and Channing Frye.
