If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 61 Remote Command
Yi Jian's biggest growth this season is stability, which has increased by 60 points from 87 to 27. The second is ball control, which has grown by 50 points from 73 to 23. The smallest growth in strength and blocks has only increased by 5 points and 6 points respectively. point.

The difference is that Yi Jian's strength is already good, but it is more difficult to grow, and blocking shots is because his awareness of defense has not improved. He seems to be getting farther and farther on the road of offensive insiders.

Because of Yi Jian's existence, the Sonics won almost ten more games than in their original history.

They also didn't draw the No. 4 pick, but the No. 9 pick.

Unless Westbrook drops a few places in the draft, Westbrook may not be able to come to the Supersonics.

Well, soon the team will be moving out of Seattle and changing its name to the Thunder.

Their owner, Clayton Bennett, had a complete falling out with the Seattle government, and this summer the league agreed to move the Sonics away from Seattle.

Next season, the team will be stationed in the owner's hometown of Oklahoma City, and Clayton Bennett paid a lot of money to realize his wish. He will pay Seattle up to $7500 million for this. compensate.

The Supersonic has become the Thunder, which fully demonstrates that being rich is willful.

7500 million US dollars may seem like a lot, but when the salary of stars can easily reach hundreds of millions, this money is still worth spending.

Bringing an NBA team to his hometown is absolutely awesome.

"We finally did it. It's not easy." Clayton Bennett had a painful expression in the interview, but he must be extremely proud in his heart.

Durant, who has already bought a house in Seattle, is a little confused.

"When I heard the news, I was taken aback. It made me very disappointed. I didn't know that the team could move out of Seattle so quickly. My family and I have already been familiar with life here, and we regard Seattle as a city. The fans here are very lovely, even if the team did not achieve very good results last season. They still give us a lot of support. Now, the team is moving, this reality is too cruel gone."

Yi Jian knew about the development of history a long time ago, so of course he would not be overly surprised.

Anyway, they are all working abroad, the difference is not very big.

When the incident happened, he had already returned to participate in the national team's training camp. He did not receive much interference from the media. He just stood up and thanked the fans for their support throughout the season.

When Yi Jian was in China, he paid more attention to the team draft and the free market.

He asked agent Dan Fegan to communicate with the team all the time, and he also made it clear with Durant that they need guards who can pass the ball better to them and insiders who can help them defend and rebound.

They also don't want to stay with a team with no future if the team can't meet their demands.

It's a bit of a forceful taste, but not very intense.

After all, Yi Jian's main energy is still in the Olympics, and he needs to see the performance of the management team first.

Except for Dan Feigen who will always pay attention to the team's signings, it mainly depends on Durant's supervision.

It is still easy to cause conflicts when the agent negotiates, but Durant will not, it is okay to be tough.

It's just that the status of Yi Jian and Durant is still difficult to interfere with the team, and I don't know what will happen in the end.

The first is the draft. The Sonics have two first rounds and four second rounds, but it may be difficult for them to completely solve the problem by relying on the draft.

There are good guards this year, Rose and Westbrook, but the team will definitely not be able to choose.

There is Dragic in the second round, but Dragic needs a longer growth period.

The point is, these three guards are not very suitable for Yi Jian and Durant.

They are all attack-oriented defenders, and next year's Zhu Ge is a bit suitable.

But when it comes to trading, there is actually a good candidate, and that is Lowry.

With Conley, the Grizzlies will choose Mayo again without accident. It is difficult for Lowry and the others to train.

When Yi Jian left, he reached a consensus with Durant to try to let the team trade to Lowry.

Durant actually didn't see anything special about Lowry, but Yi Jian's vision had been certified, and he believed in Yi Jian.

Dan Feigen will also help Yi Jian put pressure on the team.

Dan Fagan is very happy to work with Yi Jian now, because he will make a lot of money next.

Many commercial endorsements have the intention of cooperating with Yi Jian. He will be very busy this summer and will also make a lot of money.

Therefore, he will try his best to help Yi Jian with some small requests.

How many favorite rookies?Need a role player?

It's not about bringing in an All-Star, Dan Feigen thinks it's absolutely necessary for the team to fulfill Yi Jian's little wish.

This is the superstar of the future, and what the Thunder is not satisfied with is that the team will be satisfied.

In terms of insiders, this year there are Love, Lopez, Ibaka, Jordan and others.

As for Hibbert, McGee, etc., they also have strength, but they are not necessary.

In fact, if paired with Yi Jian and Durant, it is Jordan who has a better defense.

So Yi Jian told Durant carefully that if Jordan falls to the second round, he must let the team win.

"I have played against him, he is very good." Yi Jian said.

Because the team had a chance to get Lopez, Yi Jian didn't say anything.

After all, it seems that Lopez and Love are the strongest insiders this year. Jordan was beaten by Love, and he was rough.

But to be honest, both Love and Lopez are offensive and not fast enough, so they don't match the current Gemini.

On the night of the draft, Durant made the team come to the scene in person.

Yi Jian made a cross-ocean video call, and the two kept in touch at any time.

"Presti said that he communicated with the Grizzlies, but the Grizzlies' asking price is too high, and the team will basically not trade tonight." Durant reported.

"Fack, with so many draft picks in the team, it's impossible to find a substitute player. Does the management not take our two future superstars seriously?"

"Kevin, you have to stand up!" Yi Jian was heartbroken.

The Grizzlies do plan to sell Lowry, but they still want to see how Mayo adapts to the NBA. They can wait another year for Lowry.

So for the teams that asked about the price, their responses were basically better first-round picks and young players, of course the team was unwilling.

They were also polite to Yi Jian and Durant, willing to explain.

It's just that they think it's enough for players to play well, and they know how to build a shitty lineup.

"Fake, Yi, you are preparing to compete in the Olympics in style, and leave me here alone as a coolie, are you embarrassed?"

Durant is actually a bit depressed, the team doesn't seem to pay enough attention to their opinions.

Tonight, he is also the manager who has been staring at the team fiercely. Presti and others are a little guilty.

The list of six players given by Yi Jian and Durant, Rose, Westbrook, Love, and Lopez can be regarded as heroes with the same views, but Jordan's training camp was blown up by various insiders, and he looked like a parallel importer. Dragic doesn't understand, it is more risky to choose European players.

Ibaka Yi Jian didn't mention it, after all, the Thunder's scouts had already taken a fancy to him.

"The draft is about to begin," Durant said in the video.
