I can't be a basketball god

Chapter 16 Final destination

In 2003, his first year in the league, Wade’s teammates were Lamar Odom, Eddie Jones, and Caron Butler. He justifiably became the head of the Heat.

James is in the Cavaliers and has to lift shoes for Ricky Davis for a month.

In the second year, the Sharks swam eastward, and Wade hugged the thickest thigh in the league.

O'Neal liked this kind of Wade who didn't fight or grab very much. Not only did he nickname Wade "The Flash", but he was also willing to automatically pull out and play pick-and-roll tactics with Wade.

This is something that Kobe did not do. In the Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal all played their own games, and cooperated?

You must be joking!

In the third year, the 04-05 season, the league began to modify the rules and implement the No Handcheck rule. (It means that before the penalty area, no hand touch or interference can be made to the breakthrough advancer, otherwise it will be a foul.)
Defensively restricts top hands, outside players, especially for those breakthrough players, the role of body whistle is very obvious.

It is said that the change in defensive rules has benefited Kevin Martin, because he can cheat fouls and make free throws at the free throw line.

In fact, Wade's breakaway backcourt benefits more on offense.

In the 2006 NBA Finals, Wade staged the avatar, thanks to this rule change, allowing him to call a foul and get to the free throw line as soon as he breaks through and starts defending.

Of course, there is also a reason because the Dallas Mavericks are an international coalition.

If Dirk Nowitzs is the star team and wins the NBA championship, American basketball will be a bit embarrassed, and the league doesn't want this to happen.

So, Wade broke out.

Next, due to injuries, Wade once had the risk of falling out of the ranks of superstars.

But soon, he turned around. The Green Army's Big Three overwhelmed James and couldn't break through from the east, so a decision was made.

In the seventh year of entering the league, Wade, James and Bosh formed the new Big Three.

At that time, James came to assist Wade, holding Wade's thigh.

The pick of the Big Three, Wade is at the front, James is in the middle, and Bosh is at the end.

However, just one goal away, Wade was able to block the counterattack led by Nuo Tianwang.

If it weren't for injuries, Wade's performance was more than that, even if James showed his hips, he could stand up, lead the team to score, and win the game.

In this way, Wade does not need to give up his position as the leading brother. With the strength of the Heat at that time, it is entirely possible to create a new dynasty.

The worst result is nothing more than three championships in four years, which can also be called a dynasty!
At that time, even if James dances happily again, how can he stabilize Wade?
Even at the end of his career, when everyone thought that Wade should retire and couldn't play, they found that Wade still had energy, fuel in the tank, and he could fight again.

Because that guy, Wade, can still improve.

He practiced the three-point shooting that he is not good at.

Some people may jump out and think that Riley has made Wade.

That great, bastard guy gave Wade too many resources and helpers.

Get O'Neill and James!

But doesn't this just prove Wade's strength?
Some people give him resources and helpers, but he can't fly.

Moreover, if Wade is not in the Heat, Riley shouted his throat, and it is not necessarily that O'Neal and James will go to the Heat to form a team.

Only when Wade is the son of the plane can others give him face.

Destiny, stand by him.

At this moment, most people only regarded Wade as a lucky guy.

……

On the second floor, in the draft war room, when Dwyane Wade was intercepted by the Heat, the Bulls management panicked.

"Damn it, Dwyane got fucked by that bastard Pat Riley, what should we do?"

"Pat Riley's Heat team obviously lacks inside players. Why did they suddenly choose Dwyane?"

"Could it be Alonzo Mourning, who can come back to play after undergoing a kidney transplant?"

"..."

After analyzing all possible reasons, the anxious Bulls management could only call Riley, "Pat Riley, let's talk.

Dwyane Wade is a native of Chicago. The Bulls need him. Do you have a bargaining chip?How willing to give Wade to our Bulls. "

"There's nothing to talk about, Dwyane is the future outside core of the Heat, and he won't be traded to anyone." Riley refused very simply.

"Come on, our No. 7 pick, plus a second-round pick, plus a role player, how about exchanging Dwyane Wade?" The Bulls management did not give up.

"Feel sorry!
Dwyane is my Michael Jordan.

His height is 5 centimeters shorter, but he will become Jordan on the No. 1 guard.Did you say I'd give him to you? After finishing speaking, Riley hung up the phone.

"Hey...

That bastard Riley actually hung up on me. "The management of the Bulls said cursingly, "What a bad luck!

If it hadn't been for Jay Williams, that flying bastard had an accident, our Bulls wouldn't be so passive! ! "

In mid-June 2003, before the start of the draft.

In the No. 2002 pick in [-], Jay Williams, the head point guard who the Bulls strongly encouraged to train, instead of fishing at home, actually drove his favorite heavy-duty motorcycle on the road.

bang!
Unfortunately, he hit a post.

leg!
my left leg!

……

Jay Williams' leg is saved, but the ligaments that should be broken are also broken. It is possible to play basketball again if he wants to come back, but he has become mediocre.

No matter how hard Jay Williams tries to catch up with the self he was once pinned on, the Bulls have no hope anyway.

You know, that Jay Williams has outstanding basketball talent, but he almost made Yao Ming the future star seed with the title of parallel import champion.

cough!
According to the law of must water, Yao Ming, as the No. [-] pick, is stable.

Jay Williams is doomed not to gallop on the court.

His accident also disrupted the Bulls' draft layout.

As a result, Dwyane Wade, who is now optimistic, was snatched away by the Heat again.

What is this called!
……

Little Green House.

Chris Kaman's face is also cloudy and uncertain.

With Dwyane Wade being picked up by the Heat, he can almost foresee his own destiny.

"In the 2003 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected..."

"Chris Kaman from Central Michigan University."

"Damn it, I really can't escape!!" Chris Kaman laughed ugly.

Just one pick short, the situation he faces is a sky and a land.

If the Heat pick Chris Kaman, it is to succeed Alonzo Mourning.

Eddie Jones doesn't have the temperament of a master. In the past, Kaman is likely to become the next generation of the Heat's master star, enjoying the ball, and at worst he can be an All-Star.

But it is one step to heaven!
But why is it the Clippers.

Not to mention the lackluster strength of the Clippers, above the power forward sits a head star Elton Brand and a second head Lamar Odom who plays power forward from time to time.

He is a cute rookie, if he wants to be in the top position, he has to challenge two all-star opponents!
Damn, how could I possibly pass the challenge?
He has no confidence at all.

If the challenge is not enough, he can only go inside to carry people. That is a dirty job that neither Brand nor Odom is willing to do.

With such a result, it is strange that he can be happy.

Compared to the Heat's heaven, he is in hell in the Clippers!
In fact, Chris Kaman is completely overthinking. If he goes to the Heat, he finds that he will still be a blue-collar worker.

Because Odom is waiting for him there, the difference now is that he doesn't have to face the mixed doubles between Brand and Odom.

……

The second floor.

Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor is very satisfied with the results of this draft.

Judging from Chris Kaman's athletic ability, he has no destiny to become a superstar at all.

but.

He still said nothing, and picked him into the Clippers' basket, even though the Clippers' lineup does not lack power forwards.

why?

It's definitely not because there are ten options ahead, only one of which is wrong, and he can still choose the wrong physique.

It's because Chris Kaman has Clippers owner Donald Sterling's favorite complexion.

In other words, picking Chris Kaman is called political correctness.

It has to be said that general manager Elgin Baylor's selection vision has not been very good.

However, the rookie he picked fits Sterling's taste very well, it just hit Sterling's G-spot.

For example, Odom, who was picked in 98, was nicknamed 'Left-Handed Magician'.

Sean Livingston in 04, the template is also a weak magician.

They are all playing against the legends of the rival Lakers in the same city. Naturally, they are very much to the taste of Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Michael Olowokandi, the No. 98 pick in [-], although he was also the No. [-] pick in parallel imports, has a similar experience to Olajuwon and is regarded as Olajuwon II.

In 2000, Darius Miles, the No. [-] pick, couldn't play, but he can be called KG II because of his superb physical talent.

In other words, it is estimated that when general manager Elgin Baylor selected those people, then Clippers owner Donald Sterling felt that his team had a rising cornerstone player.

And this is also the reason why the rookies selected can't play, and the reason why Elgin Baylor has not been fired for 20 years.

……

"In the 2003 NBA draft, with the seventh overall pick, the Chicago Bulls selected..."

"Kirksinrich from the University of Kansas."

After Jay William killed himself and ruined himself, the Bulls urgently needed a guard. After Wade was robbed, Hinrich, who led the team to this year's NCAA Finals, was naturally the choice.

Hinrich played in University for four years, and may not be able to surprise the Bulls in the future, but it can bring a little stability to the chaotic post-Jordan Bulls.

He is still quite a leader, and he is a little short of an All-Star player, but he is a bridge connecting the Bulls era between Jordan and Rose.

……

"In the 2003 NBA draft, with the eighth pick, the Milwaukee Bucks selected..."

"TJ Ford from the University of Texas."

Allen Iverson, as a representative of small players, his success in the NBA has given TJ Ford a lot of tolerance.

TJ Ford is characterized by terrifying speed.

Even if there is a risk of knee injury, the general manager of the Bucks feels that he can take a gamble.

At most, just to be on the safe side, the second-round pick will continue to pick a point guard.

Unexpectedly, the Bucks picked up a treasure in such a way of swiping the lottery.

In the future, TJ Ford led the Bucks to take off in his rookie season.

As for the second-round pick, Mo Williams, who was selected, was sent away as "all pass".

All I can say is that I was right.

If TJ Ford is not seriously injured, TJ Ford may not be able to achieve the results of Iverson, but there is still hope for a third-rate star player.

His speed, his breakthrough assists, can activate the Bucks' offensive system.

……

The ninth pick was the Knicks, and Ye Feng's heart became tense.

After all, the Knicks could have invited him to try out, even though this team doesn't need a shooting guard.

However, the NBA is a place where miracles exist.

Anything can happen!

However, Ye Feng was still disappointed when he heard David Sent's voice.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, with the 9th overall pick, the Knicks chose..."

"...Michael Sweetney from Georgetown University."

Nicknamed "Little Sweet".

This choice is really speechless.

Height 203cm, 118kg.

With such a height and such a weight, one can tell at a glance that his weaknesses are too obvious.

As a forward player, you can use your speed to attack him vigorously.

Can't prevent it at all.

The Knicks chose him not because of how strong he is.

It's about Patrick Ewing, the legendary center of the Knicks.

Because, Ewing and Sweetney, from the same university, the prestigious Georgetown University.

Then, the Knicks favored Sweetney very much, thinking that Georgetown University would make all the gorillas?

It is a joke to copy the way of the gorilla and solve the problem of the Knicks inside.

……

Next, the results of the draft are the same as the history of the previous life, and there is not much change.

With the tenth pick, the Washington Wizards selected Jarvis Hayes.

With the No.11 pick, the Warriors picked up Michael Pietrus.

No.12 pick, the Seattle SuperSonics took Nick Collison.

……

Just when Ye Feng thought that he didn't know how long he would stay in the small green house, and comforted and encouraged himself with the deeds of "Mr. Billionaire" Lewis' counterattack in the small green house, his name was read out.

"In the 2003 NBA Draft, with the 13th overall pick in the first round, the Memphis Grizzlies selected..."

"Ye Feng from Syracuse University."

Hear yourself selected.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was full of joy, what was supposed to come had finally come.

Ye Feng took over the peaked cap with the Grizzlies logo on it, and stepped onto the stage with handsome steps.

Although the Grizzlies are not rich, they are also a good place for shooting guards.

Because, for that position, no one is competing now.

Other positions include Jason Williams, Sean Battier and Gasol.

West is still recruiting, and in the next playoffs, he will play a "reversal boy" performance.

In a season, there are almost 10 games where the score is behind by more than [-] points, and then in the last quarter, a reversal is staged.

Having said that, the Grizzlies followed the historical trend, didn't they exchange two picks with the Celtics?

Isn't it going to the Celtics?I haven't received a tryout invite!
Could it be that the Dallas Mavericks' money-making ability has manifested?

If it wasn't the Celtics and the Mavericks chose me, why did the Grizzlies choose me?
Is it just because he happens to be a shooting guard.

And the Grizzlies have no object to choose, so, at the 13th pick, just choose a shooting guard!
Are they picking memes, or is West's eye on it?
On the way to the stage, Ye Feng thought a lot, but couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, those are not important anymore, and it does not prevent him from shaking hands, smiling, and taking photos with David Sent handsomely...

……

On the second floor, draft war room.

Old Nelson of the Mavericks was full of regret. They were only three picks away from picking Ye Feng. In the end, Ye Feng was selected away.

"Then do we still want to trade with the Celtics?" the team's assistant coach asked.

"Why not?"

Old Nelson put on a calm expression on his face, and said calmly, "The transaction is to be traded, but the target of the transaction must be replaced by Antoine Walker.

Our Mavericks lost a shooting guard, let the Celtics make up for it with Antoine! "

"Also keep an eye on Josh Howard, we can't be snatched away by others."

"..."

How to watch?
The Mavericks' pick is 29!Is there still room for choice?It's not about looking at the faces of other teams.

It's not in the free market, you can spend money on it.

……

Lakers war room, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak hung up the phone, "Jerry, rejected our trade request."

Jackson nodded, "Jerry, are you still angry with the Lakers?

Because of my arrival, let him go away to Memphis! "

"No, Jerry still has the Lakers in mind!"

Mitch Kupchak continued, "Because Ye Feng is not the target the Grizzlies want. The [-]th overall pick was traded ahead of schedule."

"Oh!" Jackson's eyes became more colorful. "That's who cut off our beards in advance!"

"You wouldn't have guessed it was Pat Riley's bastard!" Mitch Kupchak smiled helplessly.

"It turned out to be him. No wonder he also mentioned Ye Feng's physical problems. He was worried that the Lakers would be interested in him!" Jackson nodded with relief on his face.

"Forget it, since I missed Ye Feng, there is no big problem.

Still according to the original plan, to reinforce our forward line, Kobe is enough for the position of shooting guard. "

……

The draft continues. After the lottery picks, the next rookies are also quite outstanding. The 03 Platinum generation is not just touted.

David West, Josh Howard, Boris Dior, Mo Williams, Kyle Korver, Luke Walton, etc., have all played a lot of names.

……
