You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 435 The Crux of Inaction

"This is... the book you wrote?"

Wesha remembered that Elaine Trovis was writing a novel about doctors.

"Well, it's going to be published next year, would you like me to write a preface?" Trovis asked.

Wei Xia feels that his literary talent is not bad, but if he wants to write a preface, he must at least have a certain understanding of the content.

"I've only seen a small part, it's very interesting, it would be great if I could see more." Wei Xia strongly hinted.

"This is a draft, you can take it back and read it, but don't spread it out," Trovis said.

The original author's draft is more valuable than the published authentic product, not to mention that it doesn't cost money, Wei Xia took the book home.

Oh, and there are palm prints to take home with you.

For the next few days, Wei Qiu has been exploring where the slap marks on Wei Xia's face came from.Did his younger brother do something bad, or how could he be beaten?

Wei Xia didn't want to explain, being fair and comfortable.

The life of the eliminated is going on insipidly, and the NBA finals also started in a competition with little suspense.

Sure enough, the Spurs took the Cavaliers in four games.

After the game, Duncan left the classic "Buddha said".

Throughout the four games, compared with himself in the Eastern Conference finals, James' statistics have dropped in all directions, and his shooting percentage is difficult to look directly at.

场均22分7篮板6助攻，三项命中率是35.6%、20%、69%。

东部决赛的詹姆斯，则是场均25分9篮板8助攻，命中率44.9%。35%、74%。

The Spurs also managed to do what many teams have since failed to do.

Having James cripple his stats while his efficiency plummets, and averaging 6 assists per game means they completely cut the connection between The Chosen One and his team.

Not to mention, in addition to averaging 6 assists per game, Zhan Huang's average turnovers per game is a shocking 5.8 times.

It can be said that the Spurs used the best defense to kill James from the inside out.

Of course, that was only James in the fourth grade, who is only 23 years old this year.

That's why Duncan had the Buddhist saying that has been passed down as a classic.

Because at that time, Zhan Huang seemed to be the ruler of the next era. He led a group of ordinary teammates out of the cockfighting arena. He was an out-and-out single-core champion. In just four years, God knows how much room he still has for improvement. Maybe he will be 50 times stronger than he is now at his peak.

The finals are over and the long offseason begins.

The first thing to start is naturally the main event, the draft.

The 2007 draft has been long-awaited. The general view is that at least two superstars, five All-Stars and a large number of stable main players and main rotations will be produced.

As for whether a draft is a big year, it actually depends on how many talents he can bring to the league.

If there are three superstars in a draft, but the others are all eliminated, then it cannot be called a draft year.

When the draft began, Wei Xia was eating at Kim Direcht's house.

While preparing her best steak, Direcht asked Wesha what he thought of this year's rookie.

Greg Oden's face came into view, and Vershaw's first words upon seeing him were: "LeBron James' brother?"

Director asked contentedly, "Just because they're both old?"

"If this word gets out, Spike Lee probably won't ask you to film again, right?" Wei Xia laughed casually.

"Of course, I will definitely be banned." Direkte asked pitifully, "You won't say it, will you?"

Wei Xia said realistically: "That depends on what you entertain me with."

"How about the best dinner in the world, and myself?"

Since Wei Xia and Trovis confirmed their relationship, Wei Xia has never touched Director again.

Every time she was tempted, Wei Xia resisted.

"You're getting less and less interesting." Director looked at Wei Xia unexpectedly.

Just because Wei Xia didn't pick up her jokes with sexual metaphors.

The undoubted No. 15 pick Greg Oden was called by ESPN expert Stephen A. Smith: "Greg has the highest quality talent since the [-]th draft."

The 15th draft, that is, 15 years ago.

Smith believes that Oden's talent belongs to the second player after the Sharks since 1993, skipping the golden 96 generation, stepping on the diamond-like 03 generation, and believes that Oden is the best draft player in the past 15 years.

"He is the best person to help the Knicks rebuild." Smith's comments fell.

The Blazers drafted Oden with unshakable determination.

This decision was later considered by countless people to come back countless times, and the Blazers still chose Oden.

In fact, if the timeline is moved back 10 years, this is not the case.

The era of big ball has not yet come to an end. Of course, the general managers will choose the inside for the super talented wings and inside.If you put it in the small ball era, is the healthy Durant and Oden with serious injury risks still worth choosing?

The most typical is 2014.

Wiggins, whose maturity is worrying but whose upper limit is so high, and Anthony II, who has comprehensive skills, have overwhelmed Joel Embiid, who is beyond reproach for both static and dynamic talents, but has potential injuries.That was 2014, and strictly speaking, it was not the small ball era.

The Blazers "traditionally" took the big man home.

Oden was selected, and No.2 was also unselected.

In this draft, there are two pioneers leading the team, and then look at the people behind with contempt: "Which of you will fight for No.3?"

Regarding Durant's discussion, the scene only lasted 2 minutes before being frightened by the Boston Celtics' trade.

Quickly scrolling trade information: The Celtics will exchange Ray Allen from the Seattle SuperSonics with the fifth overall pick + young players.

Originally, Danny Ainge wanted Durant.

He somewhat underestimated the IQ of the Supersonic management. After throwing out all available chips, he couldn't reach an agreement, so he had to choose the spare tire Ray Allen,

Pierce + Ray Allen + a group of young people, a team from the bottom of the Eastern Conference has risen.

It's a cockfight after all, and having two worthy All-Stars is enough to win the team a ticket to the playoffs, but it's not enough to win more.

Moreover, John Hollinger, the creator of the efficiency value, said: "Every good orthodox No. 12 guard in NBA history except Reggie Miller has gone downhill after [-] years."⑴
([-]) Kobe Bryant and Jordan are not considered orthodox No. [-] positions.

Later, two years later, the Eagles who were still able to stand in the top few choices in the draft—the corners of Wei Xia's mouth couldn't help but rise, this is the price of not selecting him—made the right choice.

Leaving aside Oden and Durant, two rookies who are a level ahead of everyone else, Al Horford is the No. [-] pick among the remaining mortals.

Horford was picked by the Eagles as the "true No. [-] pick".

Then waited until the fifth overall pick, the Celtics chose Jeff Green, who was the main bargaining chip for the former to get Ray Allen.

The sixth pick surprised Wei Xia.

It turned out to be a Chinese.

He never paid attention to the draft, so he didn't know Oden and Durant very well, and naturally he didn't know Yi Jianlian either.

According to the attitude of several commentators, they are not optimistic about Yi Jianlian's development prospects.

The Bucks chose him, like an unfortunate choice.

Milwaukee isn't on EJL's list of "acceptable cities" because there are no Chinese here...or, except for mild-mannered, well-built whites who like stout and fried food.

Wei Xia didn't care much about the rest.

He just wanted to know who the Lakers chose in the end, and that would have to wait an hour later.

The Lakers have the 25th pick in the first round and the 40th pick in the second round this year.

There was another unexpected discovery while watching Marc Gasol in the scouting department.

That's exactly what they have with their first-round pick this year.

The Lakers took Spaniard Rudy Fernandez SG with ease with the No. 25 pick in the first round.This is not a difficult choice. As a white man, Fernandez has the physical fitness and athletic ability to rival the blacks. His style of play is aggressive and aggressive, and he is super entertaining.At the same time, he is thin and easily injured. The scouts are basically not optimistic about his reputation in the NBA. Discrimination and prejudice against white Europeans is an obstacle that the NBA scouting department cannot eradicate.

Choosing Fernandez for the Lakers is like the Spurs' blind selection of Manu Ginobili back then. It is a long-term investment, and it doesn't matter if you lose money.

"Do you know him?" Director asked.

Wei Xia smiled and said, "I really want to know him."

He didn't look at the second-round selection, he knew who the Lakers were going to pick.

Except for the Lakers, almost no second team has taken a fancy to Marc Gasol. Compared with his talented brother, his athletic ability is like a stepmother.

Half an hour passed.

The result came out.

The Lakers used the 10th pick in the second round to select another Spaniard, Marc Gasol.

Wei Xia, who learned the result, had a strange idea in his heart-could this be the reinforcement of the Lakers during the offseason?

No way?
Weixia's concerns are well-founded, and the Lakers have not shown strong interest in any free agents at present.The management that wants to make a difference is already taking action. Look at the Celtics. Ray Allen was dealt with before the free market opened.

The superficial Lakers uniform group: We will never show off, the goal of the Zijin Army is always the championship, and we are willing to accept all plans!
Unsolicited deal: We want Byner
Lakers uniform team: Stupid thing, get out!
The Lakers want to strengthen like the Celtics, and Bynum is the biggest bargaining chip.

But the bottom line of the Lakers is "except Wei Xia and Bynum, other young people choose at will."

The crux of the problem is that they are doomed to be mediocre.
