0753 The ten-year plan was blocked on the spot
At about six o'clock, the draft will begin as scheduled.
Unlike previous years, this time, the Green House player appearance ceremony was held first. Ayton, Doncic and others walked out from the back of the stage with their relatives and friends. There were many children on both sides of the corridor clapping and cheering to create an atmosphere. The league wanted to add a sense of ritual.
Unfortunately, it’s useless. Who will that team choose? Especially in the top five rankings, many people have repeatedly revealed the news.
Unless there is a team like the Cavaliers who suddenly choose Bennet as the top scorer on the grounds of "politeness", there will be no change.
Under the premise of knowing most of the results, the draft is too much like a formality, and the advertising fees of insurance companies are relatively low.
Su Yang sat in the King's exclusive area, too lazy to watch the stage performance, and was not worried about camera shooting. He took out his mobile phone to browse the news without any concealment. Seeing many people speculating that the King would choose that player, most fans waved Colin Sexton.
Analytical experts and fans believe that after the Kings traded Grant and got Sabonis, they lacked the backcourt players most when they had Antetokounmpo, Covington and Tatum inside, while Sexton was a double-energy guard.
As for Shay who Su Yang praised, most analysts and fans think that it is just a smoke bomb and want to fool other teams into choosing Shay in advance, especially the Celtics with the eighth pick. After all, there is basically no suspense in the first seven picks.
"This is all-member divination..."
Su Yang laughed and praised Shay sincerely. He was actually considered to be a smoke bomb. However, Sexton was indeed OK, especially his height of 188 cm, which was particularly in line with Green Kai's habit of hoarding short people in the backcourt, and he also had a skill and repeated jumps.
In addition to discussing the King's candidate, a large number of fans also discussed Su Yang's title of godfather, believing that he deserves his name.
Stephen Smith tweeted: "Thanks Su Yang, thank you for sending Zach Lavin to New York. As a loyal Knicks fan for many years, I believe Lavin will build a career in New York. I can't wait to see the new season start!"
Bill Simmons tweeted: "Although he is reluctant to admit it, he accepts the fact that Su Yang has become the new generation of godfathers. Jokic, who he trained, is developing a foundation in the Pacers. Isaiah Thomas is an important part of the Celtics. Rudy Gobert has reached the best defensive player level. Earlier, Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Westbrook, who stayed in the Thunder, most of the superstars in the entire league have received his long-term guidance and training...
This phenomenon continues to expand, and Su Yang's achievements are better than Jerry West, Pat Riley and others. If Mr. Auerbach devotes his life to the Celtics, then Su Yang is improving the competitive level of the entire league, I can only respect him."
The professional black fan Bill Simmons praised him like so much, but Su Yang didn't care, after all, it was all facts.
"I will guide the core players of at least six teams in the league to grow, and there will be more in the future..." Su Yang thought for a moment. According to Curry and Antetokounmpo's situation, Tatum will most likely be let go in three years, and then another team will be there.
Between thinking, the draft begins.
Xiao Hua walked out with a smile, stood beside the podium and spoke, welcomed the fans to the venue, thanked the Nets for providing the venue, thanked the Cavaliers for performing in the finals, congratulated the Kings on winning the championship, congratulated the players who were about to run for, and gave pure formulaic speeches.
After finishing his talk, Xiao Hua announced that the sun had five minutes to think.
After the words came to an end, the Suns owner Savor, who was also sitting in the team area, clenched his fists with both hands and turned his head to stare at Su Yang, as if showing his strength. After all, choosing Ayton means that the Suns have officially completed reconstruction and will launch an attack on the playoffs.
In that picture, the director gave a close-up display of the big screen.
The fans on the scene saw it and immediately screamed.
It's just about to shout and fight.
"Good luck, Savo..."
Su Yang laughed at him and looked at his phone again. He found that WOJ was revealing that the Suns would choose Ayton, while Shames not only revealed that the Suns would choose Ayton, but also revealed that the Lakers would choose Bagley, with a slight sign of inclination, and there was only a short time when the live broadcast was not started.
I'm too lazy to pay more attention, Su Yang slides the screen of his mobile phone and watch Mikal Bridges' scout report for the ninth time.
In terms of prediction, scouts believe that Bridges will be selected by the 76ers in the 10th pick, but some news pointed out that the 76ers will not leave Bridges, but will trade the 16th pick this year and the first round pick next year, and have already agreed to the Suns.
The Suns wanted Bridges, mainly to try to use his 3D attributes to match Booker, and prepare to send off T?j Warren, with Booker and Ayton as the core to compete for the playoffs and even the championship. Their ideas are quite clear, and they can be regarded as excellent operations in the past decade.
There is no way. Although Warren scored strongly, he was not as strong as Booker. With the average defense, he was doomed to fail in the competition and was sent away.
The whistleblower also claimed that the 76ers were supposed to be dealing with the king, but the king was not trustworthy and played with the 76ers.
Thinking of the previous confusing operation of the general manager Elton Brand, General Manager of 76ers, Su Yang felt speechless, who was?
Put away your thoughts and look at Bridges's pros and cons analysis.
The advantage is its excellent physical condition. It can not only shoot from the outside, but also defend the wings. It averages less than 6 three-point shots per game, can hit 2.5 times, and is very confident in shooting, very fast, difficult to be disturbed, has a large defense area, can defend multiple positions, knowing that defense is not for data swiping, and is good at blocking opponents' offense, especially changing the ball rights.
Seeing the keywords of changing the ball rights, Su Yang immediately thought of the famous scene where Harden passed the ball to Bridges.
There is also a joke in that famous scene: Is basketball a free agent game now? Two players with different jerseys actually completed exquisite passing cooperation for several consecutive rounds. No wonder some people say that Harden has strong organizational skills and can actually assist opponents.
Let's continue to look at the shortcomings.
The report first mentioned the lack of strength. Although he is 22 years old, he weighs only 210 pounds, which is a cliché, and he doesn't like to attack the basket, rarely stands on the free throw line, and has a standard evaluation of older rookies such as lack of potential.
As for the leader of Villanova’s basketball team, he is too introverted and is simply picking on the bones.
The report also mentioned the lack of elite-level ball-holding ability.
That's normal, after all, 3D positioning.
As he watched, Xiao Hua returned to the stage.
"The first pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA draft, Phoenix Suns, chose DeAndre Aiton from the University of Arizona." As soon as the words fell, the audience cheered, and Suns boss Savor stood up and applauded, as if a wealthy mistress saw gold.
I think it's understandable, after all, the first No. 1 pick in the Suns' history is still the center forward in the new year, and everything is heading towards brightness.
"Hey, Su, I'm already looking forward to fighting with your kings in the new season. We have the strength to challenge you!" Savor shouted at Su Yang, but his eyes glanced at the camera more, which was obviously a show, to show the fans and sell more tickets.
Su Yang thought for a moment and decided to cooperate with the performance, responded with a smile: "Let's talk about it when you can enter the playoffs."
Savor showed a little embarrassed and gritted his teeth and replied: "It's soon, you will feel the dominance of the super center..." The logic was already chaotic in his words, and the staff hurriedly reminded him not to talk more, but the fans around him shouted wildly, and they didn't mind the big deal.
The farce was suspended and the draft continued.
The Lakers did not unexpectedly choose Marvin Bagley in the second pick, the Hawks chose Doncic in the third pick, and announced that they would exchange the fifth pick with the Mavericks, the Grizzlies chose JJJ in the fourth pick, and the Magic chose Bamba in the fifth pick... In a blink of an eye, they reached the ninth pick of the Kings.
Xiao Hua walked out with a professional smirk.
"Because of exchanging with the Knicks, the 9th pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA draft, Sacramento Kings chose Mikal Bridges from Villanova University..." Before he finished speaking, Barclays Center burst into exclaiming.
Su Yang stood up and prepared to welcome Bridges. He happened to pass by the exclusive area of the sun. He smiled and signaled at Savor with a gentlemanly demeanor, thinking: Your ten-year long-term plan is very outstanding, but I like Bridges very much, let’s change the reconstruction plan.
The moment he turned around, Savor slapped the table, very angry.
t?j Warren has no substitute yet. Where can I get a 3D player to match Booker? 3D players are too scarce.
Su Yang did not stop, walked straight to the left side of the stage, stopped for three minutes and waited for Bridges to be interviewed by reporters.
Bridges saw Su Yang waiting, answered the last question, started quickly and ran over, standing straight.
"Coach, I'm ready for training!"
Su Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay, first match you with a chef who understands nutritional matching, and then match you with a trainer who is good at muscle building, so as to fully improve your confrontation in the offseason, and you can also train through defensive Curry..."
Bridges is one of the best players to defend Curry. Now that he joins the Kings, the threat to Curry is zeroed.
Chapter completed!
