You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 819 Wang Defa! !

The 76ers need to hurry up and prepare for the championship celebration.

For the champions, the end of the season means a new job has arrived.The team that won the championship took less time to prepare than the other teams.

They need to arrange trial training, drafts, championship celebrations, retain the potential for championships, and strengthen as much as possible in a shorter period of time.

The 2015 NBA draft is a great year for insiders.

Moreover, there are few seedlings on the back line.

The popular spicy chickens naturally have nothing to do with the 76ers. They need to squeeze the draft picks in their hands and find a way to get the best quality fresh blood.

At present, in addition to the first and second rounds in their hands, they also have the 24th pick in the first round from the Cavaliers, which was traded a few years ago.

In addition to the draft, it is also necessary to stabilize the lineup.

Except for the Big Three and Holiday, a group of people's contracts expired.

Including Rondo, Hollins, Weaver, Odom, Prince and so on.

Except for Prince who chose to retire after winning the championship with the 76ers, everyone else is the championship puzzle that the 76ers want to leave behind.

The most difficult thing to keep is undoubtedly Rondo.

In the 76ers for one and a half seasons, although his statistics have been declining year after year, his style and character have obvious urging effects on young people.

Wei Xia is a restrained leader, just like Duncan who is more outgoing.

When necessary, he will be a bad guy, but if he is to be pressured in daily life like Jordan Bird and others, he can't do it.

Rondo's current worth is about 900 million to 1200 million a year's salary, but if the 76ers want to retain the championship team to the greatest extent, Rondo needs to cut his salary.

Because they already have the two maximum salaries of Weisha + Cousins ​​and the two maximum salaries of Hayward and Holiday on their account.

Four tens of millions of players occupy 80% of the salary cap. Rondo is open to whether to stay. As for Odom, Weaver Hollins and others, they all expressed their willingness to renew their contracts with the team as soon as the season ended.

All these people are not as expensive as Rondo, so as long as they are willing to renew their contract, whether they stay or not depends entirely on the management's ideas.

Wei Xia doesn't know much about this year's draft.

In the past, he would take time to go to Sunset Center to watch the trial training of fresh graduates, but this year he chose to give himself a vacation.

The ability of the management, he has seen in the past few years.

The draft is more pragmatic, and the transaction has always been quick, precise and ruthless, and Hinkie is a data brain.He believes in numbers, not some spectacle.

It's easy to fall into the wrong trap, but if it's a strong player, his numbers can't be bad.

Time flies, and we come to the 2015 draft.

The top-three pick holders in this year's draft have one existing client and two new clients.

One of the old clients is the Lakers who acquired Jabari Wolong Parker last year;

The two new clients are old faces in the lottery, but they just don't have much chance of breaking into the top three.

One is the Timberwolves and the other is the Bucks.

The No. [-] pick and third pick were picked by the Timberwolves and the Bucks.

If there is no support from the Lakers, Wei Xia doesn't even care who is in the top three picks.

After all, it's been years since a rookie with the caliber of James and Durant Oden appeared.

The media is objective and realistic.

When you have a super high ceiling visible to the naked eye, the camera will naturally focus on you, arrange various titles first, and how you develop later depends on yourself.

When the draft started, Wei Xia was eating a plate of vegetable salad.

Elaine sat beside him and watched with him.

"Is there any rookie you are more concerned about?" Elaine asked.

"Does the Lakers' rookie count?" Wei Xia wanted to know who the Lakers would find to accompany Kobe to retire this year.

Bryant is 37 years old, and the knock-on effect of the Achilles injury he suffered two years ago is still alive.Due to Kobe's injury, the Lakers immediately fell into the mud from a strong team in the Western Conference that could make the playoffs steadily.

Although he got Parker last year, it will take time for this young man to realize his talent.

Moreover, even if Parker can really achieve great things in the future, it is not his business alone.

Without a good management team, even GOAT will fall in the first round year after year.

To win the championship, neither the players nor the management can mix.

Buss Jr., who has been in charge of the Lakers for three years, seems to have entered some misunderstandings. He only wants to draft, but he is in a mess about signings, and his attitude towards Kobe is also ambiguous.

The most important thing is that when Bath Sr. was dying three years ago, Buss Jr. served as the Lakers' vice president of operations and said that if the Lakers could not return to the Western Conference Finals within the next three years, he would resign.

Now two years have passed.

The Lakers are very competitive in the lottery. Can Bass Jr. have the ability to bring this team, which has stabilized at the bottom of the Western Conference in the past two years, back to the Western Conference Finals and even the championship?

Wei Xia respects little Bass very much, but no one can do this.

The Timberwolves took Cousins' junior Karl-Anthony Towns away without any hesitation.

"This young man should correct his walking posture." Elaine's comment was exactly what Wei Xia was thinking, "The hunchback looks too listless."

Wei Xia agreed. He didn't know Towns and could only make judgments based on the consistent confusing behavior of the Timberwolves team.

His conclusion was that the Timberwolves probably made the wrong decision, and even if they were right, Towns didn't look like someone who could change the face of the Timberwolves.

Check out his development template.

Divac?Wei Xia was at a loss for a while - who is this?

He knew something about the NBA in the 60s, 70s, part of the 80s, and the entire new century. He was confused by the name and suddenly couldn't remember who it was.

Then came another template: Bogut.

Downs is very innocent, because there is Bogut in his development template, which makes Weixia have a bad impression of him.

That being said, Towns may also be the best-known player in this class, often dubbed a good boy for his kindness and generosity. The 39-year-old KG looks at such a tamped inside whirlwind grinding in Minnesota, and he should be able to leave the Timberwolves and the basketball court with peace of mind.

Next up is the Lakers' pick.

Parker is their future core, so can this No. [-] pick be the second pick like the Thunder did back then?

The outside world expects them to win Okafor.

If, mind you, it's an if -- if the Lakers have an option other than Okafor, then they can still look forward to it next season.What if a man of destiny came and slapped everyone in the face?If they draft Okafor, as everyone expects, they'll be in the lottery next year.

Okafor has had the same experience as all of the American Sons.

From elementary school to middle school, college entered the Duke Blue Devils, one of the greatest college basketball teams in the new century, studied under the old K, and won the championship with the team in the freshman season-this is a winner from childhood to adulthood, as an insider, with excellent low-post offense and versatile skills, but-somehow, every time I watch Okafor's game highlights, a name pops up in Wei Xia's mind: Wang Zhelin.

From the shape to the style of play, they are too similar.

Okafor is like Wang Zhelin who has been upgraded in all aspects, with a massively strengthened offense and a massively weakened defense in Split.

Such a player can average 20 points per game in a weak team, and then help the team fish year after year. If the real pick comes, he can be sent away for a draft pick or immediate combat power.

Even if Okafor hasn't played a game in the NBA, Wei Xia is not optimistic about him.

Then, the Lakers' pick: D'Angelo Russell.

For the following reasons, Wei Xia has a good impression of all NBA players named Russell.

Bill Russell, let Wesha see the essence of the ultimate winner;
Brian Russell, Jordan's eternal background, a veteran who had a lot of contact with him in his rookie season, Wei Xia learned a lot from him;

Russell Westbrook, every time he plays against him is full of wit and humor.Watching him crazily rushing for rebounds, watching his sexy zombie jumper, watching him step past the 76ers' defense line and dunk with a tomahawk, watching him make red eyes like a full moon turning into a gorilla after making an assist in double figures, using the unlimited firepower he gave himself to make Durant a supporting role and look helpless. It's so much fun, how can you not love him?As long as he does not become Wei Xia's teammate, Wei Xia promises that his love for Wei Shao will never end.

In addition, EPSN also gave Russell a high evaluation: The best "pure" basketball player in the draft (the purest basketball player).

When connecting with Jim Buss ahead, he declared decisively: "We don't want to miss the next Michael Jordan."

Maybe he's right, maybe he's right, maybe the Lakers will stun people next season, maybe?
Then Wei Xia didn't care who the Bucks chose, he picked up the cat teasing stick and played with Kobe.

After about an hour, Elaine suddenly yelled: "OMG! A Chinese has been elected!"

"Que?"

Wei Xia estimated that the draft should be almost over at this moment. Is there a Chinese selected?Could it be that the 76ers selected Chinese players with the last pick?
Wei Xia strode into the living room and looked at the screen - "Philadelphia 76ers selected Wang Zhelin with the 30th pick in the second round, from Fujian, China."

"Wang Zhelin, playing for the Chinese Fujian team."

An introductory video follows.

At that time, Wei Xia was stunned. For the first time in his life, he yelled this sentence: "Wang Defa?"

Compared with a Chinese being selected by the 76ers, Yi Lian was even more shocked when Wei Xia yelled this sentence in person.

She covered her mouth: "do you know what you're talking about?"

"It's nothing compared to this." Wei Xia said in surprise, "I don't know anything about it!"

He wasn't upset, he was overly shocked.

The team wanted to choose a Chinese player, but did not say hello to him;

Wang Zhelin signed up for the draft, but he didn't even know about it;
In this way, killing two birds with one stone gave Wei Xia a big fright.
