Chapter nine hundred and fifty-eight act of genius

The 2012 NBA Draft Conference is in progress.

The Detroit Pistons took down the weird man Anthony Davis.

The second is the Knicks' third pick. They arranged for a long time and wanted to sign the No. 1 pick with the Pistons.

The third pick is replaced with the first pick, and in terms of numbers, there is not that big gap.

The Pistons naturally don't do it. Even if the Knicks still want to give Amare Stoudemire the third pick, he won't do it just to exchange for his No. 1 pick.

The Knicks' big-handed trading method is impressive. The news spread to the outside world. The person who was most affected was undoubtedly the person involved, Stoudemire.

He immediately expressed his shock and confusion, and then became angry.

Last summer, he could have chosen to leave, but he stayed.

The market in New York is part, and part is Donny Walsh's sincerity. He convinced Stoudemire that he would be treated as a city totem by New Yorkers. Now, two years have passed, and they are in a hurry to sell the totem?

"I know it's about business, but I'm still frustrated." Stoudemire expressed deep dissatisfaction with the management's approach.

The Knicks used their third pick in the first round to choose the talented defender Bradley Bill.

Bill's jump shot is very good, he is a recognized genius pitcher. His hands are beautiful, soft, and his movements are very coherent, and he does not need to take special time to adjust. As a fixed-point pitcher, his hit rate is terrifying. His hit rate at two bottom corners is very high, and he has an NBA-level range, and he can shoot from 25 feet away. In terms of breakthroughs, his first step is very agile, but there is still room for improvement in subsequent actions.

The Knicks chose him as the worst strategy. They could not get the No. 1 pick and could not get a better combat power, so they had to let him and Xie Jun storm together.

This is not the only option for New Yorkers.

From the time they decided to move Stoudemire, the transaction was inevitable.

If you don’t get the No. 1 pick, the little bully will leave.

They traded Stoudemire to the Sacramento Kings for their signing rights to the eighth overall pick in the first round rookie Andre Drummond.

Drummond is one of the few elite players in NCAA.

He can continue to dominate the basket, regardless of whether there is anyone defending. He can also make guard-like adjustments in the air and convert bad passes into scoring.

NCAA's guards always have to throw the ball to the basket, and he can complete the all-in without running. In addition, he can also make mid-range jump shots without dead corners near the free throw line, which is extremely in line with the Knicks' needs.

What fascinates him most is that he is active and efficient in fighting offensive rebounds, has excellent movement ability among players of the same height, turns quickly at the basket, is happy and good at passing balls. He has excellent footsteps, wingspan (2.29 meters) and bounce (2.78 meters in height on the spot). He has the qualities of becoming a blocker, and he has a good grasp of the timing of blocking shots; he is not afraid of physical confrontation.

"This is a huge potential. In time, he is expected to become a dominant inside player."

For those players who are still waiting to be awakened, this is the highest evaluation that a scout can give.

The Smiling Assassin has become a commentator for TNT, the post-Smiling Assassin era New York Knicks, and is also a big dealer in the offseason.

The various things that broke out on the draft day proved that they really wanted to help Xie Jun find enough helpers.

It is worth mentioning that older rookie Damien Lillard, who is considered to be very likely to lose weight, was selected by the Thunder with the fifth pick in the first round.

As a defender, Lillard looks perfect.

Unlimited long range, super fast attack, mature combat power and mentality, and explosive physical talent.

The concern of scouts about him is that he is more like a No. 2 position than No. 1 position. Although his dribbling foot can meet the needs of No. 1 position, people will still question him.

The strangest thing is Thunder’s choice.

Although they are in a position that has not been selected as the best talent in this class, they should not choose a player who is in conflict with the team's number one defender position.

Lillard has the attributes of the second position, but he must hold the ball.

But there is already a point-star point guard Stephen Curry in the Thunder.

No one knows why they choose this.

Fans only know that the Thunder chose the wrong person. Scouts think that their choice is understandable. If they don’t choose the most suitable one, they will choose the best one.

The management of each team saw the trick.

The walkers made their own choices.

They won Jay Claude as they wished, and the draft ended successfully.

Next, in addition to a series of accidents during the offseason, Xie Hou has a few things to prepare for.

He wants to speak at the championship celebration four years later.

Of course, 9 years of NBA career, 5 rings, since John Havericek retired in 1977, only Kareem Jabbar and Michael Jordan have 1 more rings than him.

1 only for superstars, don’t come and try to mess around with cats and dogs.

In this championship, he completely tied the championship gap with the "Magician". His fans can claim with confidence that he is the greatest point guard of all time, second only to Michael Jordan's greatest player.

5 championships, 4mvp, 5fmvp, even Michael Jordan has only one championship left and 1mvp left.

He is only 32 years old and he still has time.

Once he tied Jordan's championship, basketball fans will launch an unprecedented epic debate from online to offline.

Then there was the wedding of Shirley and Napoli. After so many years, Xie Hou didn't expect that they would really come together.

Corey promised to attend the wedding. He would lead Shirley to the church just like he did when he married Xuewei to Xie Hou, and handed over the rights of love and cherish Shirley to the groom, the familiar black man, Napoli.

If their wedding is not after the championship celebration, it should be more important than the championship celebration, and the most important thing is the London Olympics held in August.

Another international competition is also the third Olympic Games that Xie Hou participated in.

Calculate the age of Xie Hou and Yao, plus Xie Jun who has been honed for a year in NBA, this may be the last chance for the Chinese golden generation to compete for the Olympic champion, and it should not be missed.

Due to the championship celebration, Xie Hou and Yao Yu did not return to China as soon as possible.

They were going to recuperate in the United States for a while, just when the championship celebration ended, Yao Yu returned home first, and Xie Hou had to wait until after attending Shirley's wedding before returning home.

From this point of view, he will not be able to work with the national team for more than 20 days.

Xie Hou has made great achievements, and no one within the basketball association will exaggerate the situation because of this. He puts his personal affairs above national honor.

Worries are inevitable.

Even Xie Hou was wondering, afraid that the unsuccessful running-in would affect the team's record.

He checked the national team's warm-up match schedule, and when he returned, he could still catch up with the last warm-up match. Moreover, he should not have time to run in, and he might have to play before the jet lag was reversed. It was so urgent.

In July, the free market officially opened.

The New York Knicks are the biggest move.

They first pried Tracy McGrady away from defending champion Pacers.

They offered McGrady a two-year contract.

McGrady didn't want to leave at first, but now he has won the championship. Indiana is not easy to wait. In addition, there is not much playing time for the Pacers, so he decided to leave after weighing the trade-offs.

This is human nature, and everyone in the team said goodbye to him.

At the same time, the Knicks also want Pacers' main defender Ray Allen.

Even the Los Angeles Clippers showed their intention to recruit.

"Jesus" did not give them any chance and directly asked Larry Bird for a quote.

He is 38 years old and the team has provided him with a contract of 7 million for two years.

Ray Allen accepted it.

"Jesus" stayed.

The Knicks show off their cap space to the world like crazy.

They learned from Pacers’ successful experience with veterans and invited two veterans of the 96 generation at the same time.

Marcus Camby and Ben Wallace respectively provided a year-old veteran's basic salary.

Big Ben refused, and Camby accepted.

Afterwards, they recruited Cavaliers free agent Mark Barnes, and the power of the big city was unparalleled and successfully dug out the Clevelanders.

On July 7, the Knicks made the most shocking operation.

They offered a five-year, 95 million maximum salary contract to Warriors restricted player Michael Beasley.

This is the most salary a player in the 2008 class can receive.

"Is Donny Walsh possessed by Isaiah?" Bill Simmons shouted on Shett.

No one thinks Beasley deserves 95 million for 5 years, no one.

After playing for four years for the Warriors, he averaged 17,21,22,20 consecutive scoring, just like the 1980s forwards who only attacked but not defended.

I don't understand anything except attack.

His existence has seriously damaged the Warriors' harmony, and it is best to let him get out.

In some cases, the Knicks threw out a big contract and helped the Warriors make a decision.

The Warriors decided not to match the Knicks' maximum salary contract to Beasley.

Therefore, without paying any price, the Knicks got a single-handed man who averaged 20 points per game with a 50% shooting percentage.
