I am so Accurate

Chapter 678 Let’s choose Green!

The Warriors finally completed the dynasty in an unscrupulous manner!

The Finals MVP went to the team's core player, Durant!

Durant averaged 28.7 points per game in the Finals, the most points scored by the Warriors and the player with the highest shooting percentage.

In this round of the finals, he officially received the nickname that belongs to him in history-"The God of Death".

Interestingly, just as Sun Hao was also called the "Little Emperor" back then, the nickname "The God of Death" was also used by the media to call Sun Hao.

He defeated James head-on and inherited Sun Hao's nickname just like James.

It is no exaggeration to say that Durant is the most dazzling player in this finals.

Durant also later delivered his FMVP acceptance speech.

In his speech, he thanked many people, and the first person he thanked was his mother.

It was at this time that many of the stories about him and his mother became known on social media.

It was also at this moment that Durant's image became much more positive.

After the most negative "surrender" incident in history did not occur, Durant was like the kind of "hero" in the eyes of Americans that night.

Or to use an inappropriate metaphor, if Sun Hao is Captain America, then Durant is the Winter Soldier who has taken over the shield.

At the end of his speech, the person Durant thanked was Sun Hao.

"This team has become successful because of his presence. If he stays in the team, we will definitely be successful, and this trophy will also belong to him. I will always remember what he means to me, to this team, and even We will always love him for what he did for the city of Oakland."

Durant's words were heartfelt and touching.

Even as he said these words, Warriors players unconsciously put their hands on their chests to echo Durant's words.

Curry, in particular, kept nodding.

He now also knows that Sun Hao had some considerations for him when he left the Warriors.

This wave can be regarded as officially defining this season.

If even the final championship and championship MVP regard Sun Hao, who is no longer on the team, as the soul of the team, then what reason is there for not naming this season after Sun Hao?

And here’s something that probably no one else thought of.

During the final speech of the championship parade that followed, Sun Hao was invited as a special guest.

Originally Sun Hao didn't want to go, but old Nelson came over in person, and he couldn't refuse his hospitality.

Amid the cheers of Oakland fans, Sun Hao sent his blessings to the Warriors.

This scene is unprecedented.

But that's just this season.

When the Lakers adjust their lineup and meet the Warriors next season, the game will be fierce and the situation will be completely different.

The curtain of the 2011~2012 season has come to an end, but fans' expectations for the new season are full.

Especially against the Lakers.

The Lakers' group of weak generals have even reached the Western Conference Finals under the leadership of Sun Hao. What if they could be strengthened?

Of course, there is actually no shortage of people in the sky at this time.

The Dynasty Warriors are the ceiling team in the league right now.

Of course, there are also league super teams such as the Knicks and Clippers that will most likely continue to strengthen during the offseason.

However, there is something to watch when there are opponents, and this is another aspect that is expected next season.

But until then, a big event that fans watch every year is coming.

2012 NBA Draft.

The projection talent is invisible to the eyes, but it actually exists.

Curry and Thompson are examples. Because of the existence of Sun Hao, their rankings are higher than in history.

But there are only a few players with this kind of shooting talent, and Thompson has his own 3D attributes.

Among this year's rookies, the only one with good shooting talent is Damian Lillard from Weber State University.

He averaged 24.5 points per game as a junior and made 257 three-pointers.

However, his draft price is not among the top three because his experience is somewhat different.

In his third year of college, he became a "redshirt" due to injury, which is the kind of player who is on the team's roster but will not play.

So he played as a junior, but his actual age is already a senior.

And although he made a lot of three-pointers in college, his shooting talent is still a level weaker than Curry's. In addition, his defense is not particularly outstanding, and his draft price is similar to that in history.

Let's talk about this rookie class, it is still a rookie class dominated by big men.

Among them, Anthony Davis, a power forward from the University of Kentucky, is considered the number one pick.

As a freshman at Kentucky, Davis averaged 14.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and a nation-high 4.65 blocks on 62.3% shooting.

His 186 total blocks set a new Kentucky, Southeastern Conference and NCAA freshman record.

To put it in a very vivid way, in this era of scarcity of insiders in the league, this kind of defensive monster has not been seen for many years.

And he's not just defensive.

Because he was the team's No. 1 position in high school, his ball handling and physical agility are very good, which is very rare among big players.

"Sports Illustrated" commented on him: This is a big man who is more suitable for the small ball era than Ibaka. He will be one of the best players in the NBA in the future.

Although this kind of evaluation is somewhat exaggerated, it also shows how talented Davis is.

In addition to Davis, there are also many outstanding big men such as Thomas Robinson, Drummond, Myles Leonard, Zeller, and Plumlee.

In an era when the interior line is declining, this draft is a blessing.

The Lakers are also ready to make a move.

The expiration of Carter's big contract in the summer gives them enough room for reinforcement.

Super centers like Yao Ming and Howard whose contracts have expired will definitely be the targets of their fierce pursuit, including Yi Jianlian, but the free market has not yet arrived, and those things are still unknown.

There are many big men in this year's draft, so they naturally want to get some of them first.

It's just that Sun Hao led the team to perform better than expected last year, and the Lakers' draft picks were also very low, with only one No. 25 pick in the first round.

The selection at this pick is a standard low-level Taobao pick.

However, the Lakers did not panic, because Kupchak immediately approached Sun Hao.

Unlike with the Warriors, Sun Hao made a lot of suggestions to the management during the Lakers 1.0 era.

Because Kupchak is still here, this tradition must continue.

Sun Hao didn't hide it.

The current plight of the Lakers is visible to the naked eye, and last season's experience also proved that the current players alone cannot defeat the Warriors, so reinforcements are necessary.

There are indeed not many people who can be selected with the 25th pick, but in this year's draft, Sun Hao actually knows who the team should choose with his eyes closed.

"Draymond Green."

When Sun Hao gave this candidate, Kupchak was a little confused.

Green is not an unknown person in college. He played for the University of Michigan for three years. Yes, the University of Michigan. He is very good at rebounding. He grabbed 1,096 rebounds in three years and has become Michigan's historical rebounder. king.

What's more worth mentioning is that he is very versatile. He is the third player after "Magic" Johnson and Oscar Robertson to hit two triple-doubles in the NCAA tournament.

He is also the first player since Tim Duncan in the 1996-97 season to average 15 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game. He was selected as the best player in the United States by the Associated Press, Sporting News, the Basketball Writers Association of America and CBS Sports. line-up.

With this series of statistics and honors, theoretically his draft pick should be very high.

But this is not the case. The NBA draft never only looks at college performance, but also talent.

This is one of the reasons why Sun Haogui was once the "King of Europe", but in the end he was only a draft pick at the end of the first round.

Green's dynamic and static talents are not up to the NBA level.

Or it can be said that except for his wingspan and strength, his other abilities are incapable of playing in the NBA.

If you select him, it is very likely that he will be selected as a substitute power forward.

Therefore, even if he performed so well in college, his draft price was not high and he was always considered to be in the second round.

And another thing is that Green has a bad temper and was a prickly player in college.

This also conflicts with the Lakers' current team building style.

Sun Hao nodded.

Of course Green's strengths and weaknesses are clearer than Kupchak's.

The reason why he chose Green is actually very simple. Small ball is the development trend of basketball, and it is impossible to completely violate it.

Even if you don't follow the trend, there are still people who can play the five position at certain times.

A low-ranking rookie like Green is almost an inevitable choice.

No matter who you were, you wouldn't be willing to give up on Green when you had the opportunity to choose him.

As for some of the problems that exist, it doesn't necessarily become a problem as it has historically.

Because what a player will become depends on who he is as a teammate with.

Give the most similar example.

Rodman.

Rodman is nicknamed "The Flower Bug". His ability to cause trouble on and off the court is definitely better than Green.

But he is such a "big flower insect", but he behaves like a little kitten when he is around Jordan.

This is the deterrent effect of Jordan.

There is a very realistic saying, when you have no status, you may have to make a big fuss with others to resolve small matters in your family.

But if your status is very high, you don't even need to say a word.

Green will only be more obedient next to Sun Hao than Rodman next to Jordan.

In addition to the first round, Sun Hao also found another candidate for the Lakers in the second round.

Carey O'Quinn.

Most people have never heard of this player, but he has an excellent wingspan, plays like an inside swingman, and is neither strong nor weak. He can play as a substitute or become the team's starter at certain times. He is very suitable for the current Lakers. Team building ideas.

Some people ask why the outside line is not reinforced?

Because the outside line is completely sufficient.

Sun Hao, Knight, Butler, and Crawford all have plenty.

Even if the Lakers choose to send away Crawford, who was in poor form last season, during the offseason, a three-man rotation will be enough to handle it.

A few days later, the 2012 NBA Draft took place at Madison Square Garden.

As in previous years, the lottery for this year's draft was determined two months ago.

The team that finally got the No. 1 pick was the Denver Nuggets.

This is somewhat unexpected but can also be analyzed.

James has been with the Nuggets for seven years, and Denver's market has become much bigger.

If no new superstars enter, Denver's market will soon shrink.

That would be a loss for the Nuggets and the league.

Referring to Cleveland in history, after James left, they were "overwhelmed with luck" and won consecutive No. 1 picks.

In the end, there was no suspense. They used this pick to pick Anthony Davis.

This wave can be regarded as a new cornerstone for team building in one fell swoop.

And this is not the only thing the Nuggets did in the draft.

They also did a maneuver that made everyone else look incredible.

They traded last year's second overall pick, Derrick Williams, to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for the No. 5 pick and a future second-round pick.

Williams averaged 14.8 points and 5.7 rebounds with the Nuggets last season.

This data is definitely incomparable to James.

It's like a lottery ticket. When you scratch out half of it, you can already see the word "thank you".

But half of the rookies last three years, and many superstars did not perform well in the first year. Kobe is the representative figure.

It took a lot of courage for the Nuggets to make this move.

But after looking at their choices, Denver fans said they could still accept it.

Because the Nuggets used the fifth pick from the trade to select Damian Lillard!

This choice is very interesting!

Especially when Sun Hao saw this result.

The 2012 rookie class is not as dazzling as the 1996 and 2003 generations, but there are two super giants in this class.

That's right, it's Davis and Lillard!

In history, one of them is a new queen bee, and the other is the soul of Portland.

It turns out that it's good now, these two people were on the same team from the beginning!

Moreover, their technical characteristics are particularly compatible. Both of them are big killers in the small ball era.

Sure enough, if the same opportunity is given to different teams, the results will be completely different.

This wave of operations by the Nuggets can be said to be in sharp contrast to the Cavaliers in history.

And this wave of operations also fully illustrates the capabilities of the Nuggets management.

With the ability they have shown, if nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before the Nuggets have a chance to become a new team in the league.

And Sun Hao was also a little curious at this time.

In history, the Nuggets management is also very discerning. They selected Jokic and decisively chose the former between Jokic and Nurkic. They also selected the "cornerstone of the decade" and a "ten-year cornerstone" for the team. The best organizational center in history.

But now I don’t know if they can still do that. If they can, the Nuggets will be another Warriors team.

There are several other more eye-catching players in this draft. Bill was selected by the Cavaliers and formed a double gun with Irving. Drummond went to the Pistons as in history.

Then the Lakers successfully acquired Green and O'Quinn.

It is worth mentioning that Green was overjoyed after being selected and trotted all the way to the stage.

Although there are many problems and controversies in history, at least Green is in a very excited mood at this moment.

Because he feels that he is going to become the new Rodman next to Sun Hao!
