Chapter 595: Another Self and Big Bear
In the basketball world in 2010, there is only one thing worth talking about.
In the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers met the Boston Celtics again, and the two teams fought seven games in their blood.
This should have been a series with little suspense.
Because the Lakers' book lineup is obviously stronger than their opponents.
However, it is often the champion who knocks down the champion.
Phil Jackson was unable to coordinate the playing time between the Gasol brothers and Bynum.
When Gasol Jr. was injured in the playoffs, Bynum seemed to be able to be stable in the locker room. But in order to prove himself, Bynum showed an extremely selfish side on the court. Not only did he not fill the gap between Gasol Jr., but he also destroyed the Lakers' tactics.
The Lakers encountered all the elements that ended the championship.
The management is flirting with each other, and the players have different intentions. Bynum continues to attack. Fairlanders was seriously injured by a former Lakers champion member on the court. Kobe had to persist with injuries. In order to cover the team's status, the Gasol brothers spontaneously rose up in small camps, Kyle Lowry, who was pressed on the bench by the Zen master.
The Lakers should have solved the Celtics in six games, but now, this has nothing to do with the basketball itself, which has left them losing in Game 7.
Artest, who replaced Weisha and Ariza, fell into terrible public opinion in the finals - when the Los Angeles saw Weisha win the scoring title with the 76ers and be selected for the first time, he thought of his performance against the Celtics in the 2008 finals, and then looked at Artest's unmotivated offensive and defensive energy - all of this, coupled with the finals, was like a fierce slap, slapped the Bass family and the media that supported Weisha's departure.
The pain caused by this slap will become more and more painful as time goes by year after year, and eventually they will find that this is the stupidest decision in NBA history.
At this time, the only important thing is the draft.
Compared with the recognized Little New Year 2009, the first draft was undoubtedly a draft year.
The year of the draft is mainly reflected in absolute height, absolute strength and absolute thickness.
Last year was the year of defenders, and this year was undoubtedly the year of the inside and the year of the wings. The extremely scarce inside and wings last year can be seen everywhere this year.
What's more, the defender is not inferior to last year.
The defender who beats this large group of birds and beasts is John Wall, the most talented point guard since Jason Kidd.
The Warriors who won the No. 1 pick are half-hearted and sad.
Their scout report clearly stated: "John Wall is the most unmissable player in this draft, and he is the best player after Jason Kidd."
The Timberwolves' draft report is even more magical: "Imagine a Steve Nash who is not very good at shooting but can juggle and dunk anytime, anywhere?"
It is actually simple for the 76ers who got the second best.
What do they lack?
A reliable and reliable point guard.
To prevent Iguodala from recovering faster than expected, he chose to be a spare tire.
Find a substitute for Sadies Young.
A better core center than Elton Brand.
Simply put, except for Wei Xia, who already has a position 2, there are few other positions short of people.
With the second pick, they can find reliable players in this golden draft. At the same time, they are not unaware of picking the best rookies of 2010.
"Wish, who are you looking at?"
A 76ers scout came over and asked.
"That young man from Butler University." Wei Xia didn't expect that he would use "young man" when talking about rookies now.
Time is such a scary knife.
"He is really good. If he has better athletic ability, he will undoubtedly be the lottery choice this year." The scout shook his head, thinking that Hayward could not enter the lottery.
Wei Xia dare not say that if he was the general manager of a team with lotto signings and the team needs wingers and swingers, he would definitely choose Hayward.
Although he has greatly increased his potential because of Skywalker's athletic ability, he believes that athletic ability is by no means the whole of basketball.
Larry Bird has proven that high BQ can dominate the game.
“How is the situation in another venue?”
Today we have more than 20 rookies to try out, with 8 players close to the lottery prospects, and the others are either the second round prospects or the older players who have no hope of being selected.
The scout who greeted Wei Xia mysteriously smiled: "There is a crazy bear eating people."
Wei Xia then looked at another venue.
The venue where Hayward is located is the No. 1 venue. The first match started. Someone at the No. 2 venue was late and it was not until the first half of the venue.
Wei Xia heard that the late person was named Demarcus Cousins.
The most unpredictable player in this draft.
Cousins had no regrets or shame about his lateness, and he had a legitimate reason.
And it is not a reason why "helping the old lady cross the road" is that it is not very credible, but many witnesses have grabbed the supermarket thieves with bare hands, waiting until the supermarket security guards come over to take the person away, and then wait until the police come and explain clearly before the end.
"Really?" The 76ers didn't believe it.
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Cousins' unhappiness was beyond words.
The person who questioned him did not ask the bottom line, because the other party was Cousins, he would question the reason. Also because the other party was Cousins, he could tolerate the other party being late for so long.
This is what DeMarcus Cousins would do.
Cousins, who had done good deeds and was interrogated with tinted glasses for a long time, felt particularly unhappy. The sky was black, just like those who did not believe in him.
He decided to vent his anger on the court.
This is the origin of what the scout said about Wei Xia’s so-called “a bear is eating people”.
“Are there any reports of his scouts?”
After seeing Cousins hit a high jump shot with a arrogant look, Wei Xia asked the scout who focused on him.
"This is our report." A scout handed over a document.
Wei Xia took the report and found that the scouts on the team gave Cousins Gao an amazing evaluation.
"His figure, strength, height, and bounce can support him in doing whatever he wants, and although he doesn't have great explosive power, he is extremely agile on the court, which is incredible with his figure. He has dexterity skills, huge hands, soft feel, comprehensive and complete inside skills, along with his amazing wingspan, allowing him to easily complete the basket offense..."
Regarding this draft report, Wei Xia simulated the figures of Olajuwon, Shark, Ewing and others in his mind.
It was only because the scout said that Cousins did not have great explosive power that he did not embody David Robinson.
For a rookie, being able to point out so many advantages by scouts means that his investigation is in-depth and perfect enough, so Cousins' "intangible assets" only has 5 points.
As Wei Xia's eyes went down, he found that the reason why "intangible assets" scored low may not be just that the scouts studied him thoroughly enough.
This little brother...
"The immaturity in character and mental deficiency, and the body language and lack of calmness after showing him negatively on the court... If things don't develop in his way, he often loses his mind, seems to be uninterested or depressed in anything, and is unwilling to accept guidance from anyone. Even if the coach puts him on the bench, his negative energy can still radiate to the whole team..."
