Reborn NBA's Strongest Talent

Chapter 217 217. Waiting for the Wind to Come (Subscribe)
"Huh?" Presti and Donovan, two white men, put black question marks on their faces.

"Do you know Derek?" Donovan asked.

"I don't know each other. If I want to know each other, would I still say that you are here for a date?" Li Cha touched his chin and thought about how to persuade Ross if he really had the chance, and answered casually.

I don't know him again. He said the same thing when he recommended Allen in the draft last year. Looking back now, Li Cha's vision is very good.

Brewer and Randall mentioned at the trade deadline also fit the team's needs very well.

If he really didn't know the other party, but could still put forward such an effective opinion, Li Cha could be the general manager of a team, and he was an experienced person who had worked for countless years.

The Presti in front of him was only one step ahead.

"How sure are you that Derek will join us?" Presti also gasped.

"Sixty percent...no! At least seventy percent."

With a [-]% certainty, it can start operation, and a [-]% certainty, it is already an excellent time, Presti immediately nodded.

"I'll make an appointment with Derek as soon as possible."

The first candidate to be added was finalized, and the other was Li Cha, who was a backup player for the shooting guard position.

Brewer is currently holding more than 600 million. Of course, his performance is more in line with his worth, but Robertson's injury will almost recover by the end of the year. If he renews his contract, it will be a waste of salary space.

If the contract is not renewed, it will not work if there is no rotation of players at the beginning of the season.

This problem also plagues Donovan and Presti. A 3D shooting guard is very expensive in the free market. If it is not 3D, it is not necessary. Abrines can still use it.

"By the way, do we have draft picks this year?" Li Cha suddenly remembered the most important thing. His strongest point is also reflected in the draft. You don't need to guess who will play well in the next few years, you can know the result directly.

The 18 draft can also be regarded as a big year. Ayton, Doncic, and Tre Young are all worthy players, and they can grow into super giants in a short period of time. Sexton, Jaren Jackson Jr., Michael Porter Jr., and Alexander are also players who can fulfill their talents, as long as they have enough early draft picks...

hey-hey……

"Of course, we are the 53rd and 57th picks in the second round." There was a hint of teasing in Presti's eyes.

……

53 and 57!

Choose a hair!You can help you find excellent players with the top ten picks. Last year, you also picked Allen at the 22nd pick. This year, you told me that you didn’t have a first-round pick, and you even came in last in the second round. Do you think there are undrafted picks like me every year?
Although he was complaining crazily in his heart, what Li Cha showed at this moment was just to be dazed for a while.

"Then forget it..." Li Cha, who was such a low pick, couldn't help it.

Wait, if you want to talk about the undrafted picks in 18, it seems that there really are Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn!

Both of these two were undrafted picks who were later signed by the Heat, and both played close to the performance of the starters. Even if there are not many opportunities next season, they can also be used as transition players when the team lineup changes.

And it is also a good trading asset to trade out to serve as the starter of other teams after playing out his worth.

Pooh!Why does he smell like copper all over his body?

"Who do you think of?" Donovan saw that Li Cha's eyes began to light up, as if grasping at straws, he asked quickly.

"Duncan Robinson and Kendrick Nunn." Li Cha replied directly. He wanted to make it clear, and now he was not afraid of the two doubting him.

It has been revealed several times before, and it doesn't matter now.

Donovan looked at Presti, who quickly rummaged through his backpack for the scouting report.

"These two are not good..." Presti muttered after scanning the scout reports of the two.

Li Cha shrugged.

Donovan took the report from Presti and read it carefully.

From Donovan's very serious eyes, he didn't see any sense of surprise, on the contrary, he became more and more serious.

It seems that there is no advantage.

"Sam, what do you think are the chances of picking good players at picks 53 and 57?" After a while, Donovan raised his head and asked Presti.

"One percent? No! Maybe only one thousandth." Presti answered without hesitation.

The hard work of the scouts is not as simple as just giving a piece of paper. The strict screening system and professional assessment and inspection. This piece of paper is almost a year or more of hard work. The mock draft is definitely not a joke.

Although there are many parallel importers among the high picks, and there are several parallel import champions, the vast majority of the outstanding players are high picks.

"Since this is the case, what's the problem if we choose according to Li's idea? If you succeed, you will be pleasantly surprised, but if you fail...it's normal to fail." Donovan pondered for so long to get such a result?
But this sentence hit Presti's heart.

Many second-round picks with such a low pick will not choose to sign. Even if they sign, the team that does not perform after two years of training will not implement the team option.

It's nothing more than changing two water dispenser administrators. The annual salary only adds up to a basic salary, which is almost negligible.

Presti nodded, anyway, in the end, it was just a matter of choosing whoever was more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps these two people will not be able to play such good-looking statistics because they did not get enough opportunities, but the undrafted picks have achieved results after training. These two must be players with great willpower, hard training, and instant combat power.

For the team, it is absolutely profitable.

Now the configuration of the team was basically completed, and as for which players would be cleared away, Li Cha didn't want to be a villain.

In the following time, the arena was full of wind and clouds.

First of all, the Rockets swept the Pelicans 4:0 to enter the Western Conference Finals, which is expected.But Paul appeared to be injured after reaching the Western Conference Finals for the first time.

I haven't made it yet... Cough cough cough... Poor Paul, he must be over excited.

Then there was the most exaggerated game in the East, the Raptors were swept by the Cavaliers 4:0.

The number one Raptors in the East, head coach Casey, who had just been selected as the best coach of the season, was swept by James.

This is the third time James has swept the Raptors.

In the previous two times, it can be said that there are many stars around James, and it is possible to sweep anyone, but this year, even Li Cha feels that the configuration around James is shabby, and he can still sweep the Raptors. It can only be said that the Raptors may be born to be defeated by James.

The Celtics also defeated the digital man 4:2. Irving and James met in the Eastern Conference Finals, and it was time for him to prove his ability to lead the team.

Irving must be very excited to join James in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Rockets and Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, and the Cavaliers and Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals are the opponents in the season opener.

I have to admire the accurate results of the league's predictions.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Rockets had home court advantage.

But without Paul on the court, Harden once again appeared to be walking on the court, and G1 lost at home, which made it unacceptable for fans without the ball.

So Paul made a comeback in the second game and led the team to defeat the Warriors.

Paul's organization and scoring are not weaker than Harden, which greatly reduces the pressure on Harden.

Anthony, on the other hand, has long been reduced to the team's third scoring point, and his tactical status in the team is not as good as Capela.

Singles are despised for their low efficiency, and they can’t catch up even if they eat cakes. The three-point shooting percentage will also pass. In the regular season, they can average nearly 16 points per game. In the playoffs, the average scoring in the first two rounds is just over 10 points.

From an absolute core who dropped the altar, he became a role player.

Now there are no fans who continue to talk about the Big Three of the Rockets. The two-organization master of the "light bulb" combination is the absolute core of the Rockets.

Although Anthony is very unhappy, this year is indeed the best chance to win the championship. Anthony chose to endure it, let himself work hard to be a part of the team, and provide strength when needed.

The former social Gua Ge is now slowly giving up on himself in order to break through the Western Conference Finals and even higher goals.

The G3 Rockets made another victory, snatched back the G1 that the Warriors had snatched, and slapped the Warriors hard.

Putting the best chance of the Warriors' defeat in front of them, just when countless fans imagined that the Rockets would have a better performance, Paul's injury worsened in G4 and he left the game early.

And Harden's weakness caused the Rockets, which had already led by half, to lose the matchup.

Even if Anthony played against Durant in the fourth quarter, he still lost to age in the end.

All of a sudden, Harden was criticized everywhere, and his inactive attitude towards the game became the biggest problem for Harden's inability to lead the team to a breakthrough.

But the injured teammate Paul took the initiative to explain to Harden, saying that Harden was too physically exhausted at home because of the offensive organization, but Harden's own attitude was very positive and so on.

Even his teammates didn't blame him, what else could others say, and things just faded away.

The battle of Tianwangshan is still the home court of the Rockets. As long as Harden can prove himself, the fans are still willing to believe in him.

But the fact is that Harden, who can face the Warriors' superstars in the regular season and kill each other, played very abnormally in the Western Conference Finals, worse than Anthony, who has been marginalized.

In the next two games, the Warriors easily won the Rockets after Paul was injured.

Successfully advanced to the finals.

In the East's battle between James and Irving, James also won the game 4:2.

The singles that Irving has always been proud of is not worth mentioning in front of James' serious defense. He has no breakthrough and his shooting is even worse.

Horford, the All-Star insider, lost to Tristan Thompson, and his rebounds and points were suppressed miserably.

The Cavaliers also made great strides, broke into the finals, and reunited with last season's opponent, the Warriors.

It was the same team in the finals for three consecutive years, which is also very rare in history. Both teams have left a strong mark.
