All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 729 Draft lottery, LOGO man’s prediction!

At the end of May, after receiving various season rewards from the blacksmithing system, Su Feng, who had upgraded the [God of Basketball] badge to the third level, took Curry and his son on their official journey back to China.

In order to prepare for the Olympic Games held at home, as early as March this year, the Chinese men's basketball team gathered players who were eliminated in the CBA playoffs to start the first training session.

However, since Sun Yue, Xiao Yao, and Zhu Ba still have to travel with the team to compete in the Eastern and Western Conference finals, the Chinese men's basketball team will have to wait until at least late June to complete the assembly of all members.

In addition, before returning to China, Su Feng also gave Kupchak a list of his favorite players.

Because Marion's "trade model" comes first, and there are too many high-quality rookies in 2008, Su Feng does not need to worry about the Lakers' matters related to the draft this year.

In contrast, Su Feng needs to consider whether Kobe Bryant should not mess around during his resumption of training.

Before leaving, after checking Kobe's current abilities through the system, Su Feng discovered that people's physiques cannot be generalized.

Because except for the decline in a few abilities, Su Feng knew that most of Kobe's abilities would gradually return to full health with his training, relying on advanced modern medicine and nutrient solution for 16 months.

According to Su Feng's instructions to Mancias before leaving, in addition to Mancias being fully responsible for Kobe's recovery training this time, Mancias will also follow Su Feng's request to hold down Kobe when he plans to start intensive training in advance. His dog head.

"I plan to gradually give Kobe Bryant intensive training in September and October.

After all, he took too long to recuperate from this injury. If he resumes his intensity after the start of the new season, the previously injured part is likely to be injured again. "

As a loyal minister who has accompanied Su Feng for more than ten years, Su Feng has always been assured of Mancias' business ability.

According to Mancias's suggestion, in the first two months after the start of next season, Kobe's playing time is best to increase gradually.

Although this means that Kobe will miss the Beijing Olympics...

But in Su Feng's view...

Kobe wants to compete with him in the FIBA Imperial City in the future, and there is still a chance.

However, Kobe is absent from the Olympics...

This means that Ray Allen will be selected for the US men's basketball team coached by Davis.

In Su Feng's previous life, due to the well-known relationship between Kobe and Ray Allen...

Therefore, before the start of the Beijing Olympics, even though the United States was suggesting that Old K. should bring in more pitchers, Old K. did not dare to call up Ray Allen to the team despite Kobe's death glare.

Ray Allen is also aware of this. In many interviews, he believed that Michael Reid was no worse than him.

"No, even if I can't play in the Olympics, I still have to go to China during the Olympics!" Kobe said persistently when he parted with Su Feng that day.

After hearing this, Su Feng didn't bother to reveal the little Jiujiu in Kobe's heart.

Because Kobe doesn’t want to go to China to meet his lovely Kobe sisters...

This guy's stomach was clearly occupied by his own food. Except for the food he cooked for him, all other food tasted tasteless!

"Okay. But since you're already here, how about I help you contact CCTV and you can be a commentator for a few games?" Su Feng, who knew that once Kobe made up his mind, it would be difficult to pull him back, looked at Kobe and said.

After hearing this, after hesitating for a while, Kobe said: "But I don't speak Chinese well. Can Chinese fans understand my explanation?"

Su Feng was happy and said: "Your Chinese is not good, but Director Zhang and the others can help you translate!

And what's more, you just need to give me more praise during the halftime break. "

Kobe was unhappy and said: "If I really go to commentate, then I will definitely point out all the problems in your game."

Su Feng shook his head: "That's fine, as long as you can point out my problem, I'm always willing to listen."

So, that's it.

Su Feng completely blocked Kobe's last chance to commit suicide before the start of next season.

On the side, Mancias couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, only Su knows Kobe the best."

Because Kobe was definitely not able to train intensively while serving as a commentator in Beijing, so this would save Mancias a lot of trouble.

…

Su Feng's return to China with Curry and his son will not be announced for the time being.

In the Eastern Conference finals, because the Heat had to wait until the tiebreaker to determine the winner, the digital man got off to a hellish start in this year's Eastern Conference finals.

Having lost two games in a row in Boston, they currently trail the Celtics 0-2.

In the Western Conference Finals, Adelman, who separated Pierce, Paul, and Carter to lead the team in the first three quarters, successfully eliminated the Mavericks' home court advantage in Dallas.

In this series, Nowitzki still has no solution.

But the Mavericks' bench ushered in their opponents.

Because after staggering the playing time of the Big Four, whether it is facing the second team led by Carter, Paul and Battier, or the bench team led by Pierce, Garnett, and Battier, the Mavericks' bench gang cannot be like The guys who beat the Lakers before were so happy and happy.

In addition, the Mavericks were "forced" to wait until Game 6 by the Lakers to decide the outcome. Therefore, in this year's Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks can be said to have fully experienced the pain of the Celtics and Digital Man.

After returning to China, I watched the pioneers become more and more courageous...

Su Feng always felt that these pioneers were sent by God to mess with his mentality!

Because this year's Western Conference Finals are really going to be won by the Trail Blazers...

Then next year, the Mavericks will still have to hold their breath to catch and beat whom?

Moreover, if these four kings of the Trail Blazers win the Western Conference Finals and fail to win the championship...

Then next season's Western Conference...

Who knows what a tragic situation it will be!

Paul Allen.......

Mark Cuban…….

It would be okay if the Mavericks and Trail Blazers were two teams with no hope of winning the championship.

But if the team run by these two madmen has the hope of winning the championship but fails to win it in the end...

Su Feng didn't think that the mere financial crisis would make these two people retreat.

However.......

Just like "Murphy's Law" says...

When intervening, one is often just afraid of what will happen.

In the East, although after returning to Philadelphia, the Digital Man defeated the Celtics in G3.

But in the subsequent G4 game, because Xiao Yao suffered a foul crisis, as Xiao Ming's children's shoes fell down on the court, the digital players immediately seemed to have changed teams.

Now Lao Aitou really can't stand up.

After losing this G4 battle...

The digital players, who were trailing 1 to 3, had basically lost the suspense of a comeback.

And the west.......

Although the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks tied 2-2...

But in terms of morale, after the G4 game, the Trail Blazers' morale has obviously suppressed the Mavericks.

Because originally, the Mavericks had a chance to rewrite the big score of this series to 3 to 1 in the G4 game...

But who would have thought that with a 14-point lead in the final quarter...

Carter and Pierce actually staged The Return of the King.

On the court, with 9 minutes and 31 seconds left in the final quarter, Carter was forced to leave the field for treatment because he sprained his ankle.

And just when the Blazers fans at the scene thought that the Blazers were about to lose...

In this life, Carter, who had won three championships with Su Feng, showed his tenacious will and quality in times of crisis.

"You all said that Vince Carter's glory is in the past!

But in my opinion, as long as I haven't retired, my most glorious moment will always be tomorrow! "

Rose Garden Arena.

Carter, who was slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line, greatly boosted the morale of the Trail Blazers.

And with 5 minutes and 14 seconds left in this quarter...

Because his hand landed first during a scramble, Pierce was forced to leave the game and received nearly three minutes of treatment.

Moreover, in the face of the team doctor's dissuasion, Pierce pushed the team doctor aside.

At the same time, with the sound of a "."...

Pierce, who ran all the way back to the court from the tunnel, also made the nearly 20,000 Blazers fans at the scene burst into tears at this moment.

“This is not Texas!

here.......

This is our territory! "

Why we love basketball.

Because in the first decade of the 21st century, basketball brought us too many, too many beautiful memories.

On the court, Vince Carter and Paul Pierce cheer each other up through fist bumps...

It is destined to be recorded in history together with the previous scene of Su Feng falling to the ground due to exhaustion!

Maybe Paul Allen spent so much money on the Trail Blazers in the past and just wanted to hear a sound...

But on this day, Garnett's roar made Paul Allen feel more worthwhile than ever.

The Blazers fought until the very end.

After Carter and Pierce scored 13 and 14 points for the team in the final quarter respectively...

They staged a stunning comeback at home.

At this point, the balance of this series has completely reversed.

When young Chris Paul didn't need a mask to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Garnett, who has passed his thirties, is willing to assist the three Jordans beside him.

When Tritt's angry Carter and Pilip's angry Pierce reveal their characters respectively.

How many people still remember that a few months ago, the Blazers were facing various difficulties?

In this league, everyone has a reason why he must win the championship.

Whether it's Tim Duncan who wants to comfort Auerbach's soul with a championship.

It's Nowitzki who failed twice in the Finals.

Just like Su Feng said...

In this league, the most unworthy thing is your determination to win the championship.

Because even Zhan Bao, who has been deceived by Su Feng and Duncan for several years, knows that if you miss the present, you will have to wait for how long in the future.

…

The NBA's Eastern and Western Conference finals of the 0708 season are still going on.

On the 31st, the lottery ceremony for the 2008 NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

In order to allow Chicago, a city that once achieved glory in the NBA, to see the light of day again, just as Su Feng remembered it, the Bulls successfully won the first prize in this lottery ceremony:

——The No. 1 pick.

Of course, since the trajectory of history has changed a lot, in order to continue to save Houston, after much hesitation, Stern signed this year's second pick to Space City.

that is.......

The rookies of the 2008 class are of high quality...

But Su Feng was not optimistic about Michael Beasley, who had not received socialist education in his early years.

But.......

Since Beasley is recognized as a rookie who is not the No. 1 pick in this draft...

so.......

After being frightened by the draft for N consecutive years, Su Feng always felt that Hubao's management did not have the courage to bypass Beasley in making selections.

In addition, this year's No. 3 pick was chosen by the Spurs.

As one of the famous "Texas Bears" in the NBA, after winning the No. 1 pick, the Spurs immediately contacted O.J. Mayo's agent, hoping to invite this template to try out for the super rookie Su Feng and Kobe Bryant. training.

However, Mayo rejected the Spurs' kindness without thinking.

Because in Mayo's terms...

How could he, a mere rookie, dare to climb up to the Spurs, the world's giant with Bogut?

have to.......

As the general manager of the Spurs, Cole never traded Bogut, which was definitely his biggest failure since taking office.

Because of Bogut, you can forget that he just talks about the NBA...

But unfortunately, in this year's interview, he had to give a shout-out to Mayo.

It is said that Mayo is just a useless brush and a parallel importer.

And in this case, how could a young man like Mayo, who was arrogant and arrogant, endure it?

Anyway, Mayo's attitude is now clear.

If the Spurs dare to choose him.

Then he would immediately turn around and play in the European League.

So, after being stabbed in the back by Bogut again, Cole had no choice but to do the next best thing and extend a trial invitation to Kevin Love.

Because no one in the NBA is willing to take over Bogut for a while, the Spurs are preparing to try out Love. You can also think that Cole has made plans not to renew Bogut's contract after his contract expires.

only.......

In this way, will Bogut, who is the No. 1 overall pick, be embarrassed...

That's unknown.

It is worth mentioning that the SuperSonics won this year's No. 4 pick just like in Su Feng's memory.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, this can be regarded as a test for Presti.

After all, if Mayo does drop to the fourth pick...

Su Feng was very curious as to whether Presti dared to continue betting on Westbrook's untapped talent.

Trivia.......

Before entering the NBA, Westbrook, like Durant, did not perform very well in physical tests.

And the reason for his unsatisfactory performance has nothing to do with him not trying his best during the physical test...

Because at this moment, in addition to being praised by scouts for his defensive ability, Turtle's physical talents have yet to be developed through training.

In addition, after the results of this year’s lottery ceremony were announced...

Stephen Curry's draft stock is not as good as before.

Because Rose must have a higher priority than him in the 2008 point guard rankings, the Bulls, who won the No. 1 pick, didn't even send Curry a trial invitation.

And after Mosaic suffered heavy losses in selecting rookies in consecutive years, how can they dare to bet on Curry now?

As for the Spurs and SuperSonics, Su Feng doesn't think they will choose Curry.

Therefore, in the past two days, when teaching the Chinese men's basketball players to shoot, the old Curry almost felt bad.

However, the old Curry did not know at this time...

A secret gift from fate.

Its price has already been marked.

…

"I'm curious as to why you insist on meeting me at this juncture.

Because even if you have determined that you can complete the acquisition of the Warriors and go through the process, it will not be completed until at least July or August this year, right? "

In Los Angeles, Jerry West, who has been busy meeting various old friends these two days, looked at Joe Lacob sitting in front of him with curiosity and said.

Through internal channels, LOGO Man knew that in the near future, the man in front of him would join the Warriors together with one of his business partners.

But what really interests LOGO men is not this.

But Lacob has been trying to meet him through various connections recently.

“In China, there is a saying that before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first.

After taking over the Warriors, I want to do something big seriously, so I hope I can first find someone who can give me direction. "Looking at West, Lacob said sincerely.

After hearing this, West nodded happily.

Because every NBA owner will basically say something similar before trying to ask him to come out.

But it's a big deal...

In this alliance, how can you do whatever you want?

"Including today, this is the third time I have asked you to meet.

But the first two times, you rejected me for various reasons. "After a pause, Lacob then said to West.

"to be honest.

No matter what price you offer me, I will never accept your invitation.

So why should I waste my time coming to meet you? " West said to Lacob.

"But since you have chosen to meet me, it means...

Maybe things can turn around? Lacob said.

“No, I chose to meet you simply because I am a warm and hospitable person.

And I don’t want to leave a reputation in this league as someone who doesn’t want to enter.

After all, I will still have to eat from the NBA in the future. "West said, spreading his hands.

"But, you really should consider the Warriors," Lacob said.

"Why? Give me a reason why I have to consider the Warriors." West laughed.

"First of all, this team has history and fans.

Secondly, this team has an ambitious owner.

Moreover, I plan to immediately start planning to move the team back to San Francisco after acquiring the Warriors. Lacob said.

"Well, I planned to end this conversation after you finished your first reason.

But your second and third ones really moved me.

However, there was no way I would join the Warriors' front office until Don left Oakland.

Because I don't like to argue with others when there are differences of opinion.

You know, I have always been an elegant and easy-going person. "After thinking about it in his mind for a while, West said.

In Su Feng's past life, he was the mastermind behind the rise of the Future Warriors. In the future, until Nelson chose to retire, West accepted Lacob's invitation to advise the team as a team consultant.

On the one hand, this is because West knows the rules of the NBA game very well.

With Old Neil serving as the team's general manager and coach, it is easy for them to have conflicts once differences arise.

On the other hand, it's because West and Nelson are old acquaintances.

Therefore, for West, who has long been tired of palace fighting...

He didn't want to have any dispute with Nelson that would keep them apart forever.

To put it bluntly, it's just like Riley chose to retreat behind the scenes.

It seems that he is training Spoelstra.

But in fact, he was just leaving a buffer zone between them if there might be a conflict with Su Feng in the future.

"I see.

But now we need Don.

Because only he can help the team get through this difficult period. "Looking at West, Lacob said after nodding.

"certainly.

Because if you choose to kick Don out, then I may not even meet you.

After all, a boss who doesn’t even have a long-term vision, why should he tell me that he is ambitious? " West laughed.

"So, are you willing to come to Oakland to guide this team that is about to be rebuilt after Don retires?" Lacob asked.

"I can't promise you that.

Because making random promises to others before things are uncertain will only destroy your own credibility.

But I can tell you clearly that in the next two years, I will indeed choose to rest at home. " West said.

After hearing this, Lacob, who knew that this was the best promise West could give, stopped asking further questions.

After all, conversations between smart people and smart people are so relaxed and enjoyable.

"However, if it's convenient, can you give me a rough idea of your reconstruction plan?" At the end of the conversation, West asked curiously.

Lacob nodded, "During the rebuilding period, I will completely delegate the authority of the team to Don.

And according to Tang’s idea….

We're going to trade Amare for a pick in the draft that will take Stephen Curry. "

Amare Stoudemire?

really.......

Much like Don Nelson.

Perhaps because he felt that what he disclosed was not sincere enough, after a pause, Lacob said helplessly: "Don has told me that Amare is not willing to rebuild with the Warriors.

Therefore, we can only choose to trade him.

In addition, if they want to select Stephen Curry, Tang believes that the Warriors need at least one top-five pick. "

Stephen Curry......

Don, don't...

You really dare to bet!

But this bet......

What's the point of being escorted with you?

Looking at Lacob, after pondering for two seconds, West said: "This is a very good decision.

But if you're really considering Steph Curry...

Then I suggest that in the next two years, you must ensure that your lineup has enough flexibility. "

"But.......

Because Steve will be 35 years old next year, Tang and I plan to complete the rebuilding of the Warriors in the shortest possible time. Lacob said with a troubled expression.

“Then do you know that the Chinese also have a saying, ‘Those who are ambitious will not grow old’?

For Steve, his career is not at a point where it will be destroyed by these two years.

But in the past two years, if you can ensure sufficient salary space...

After those two years, I promise I can bring you a player who can help you become a championship player. "Looking at Lacob, West said seriously.

And at this moment......

Looking at West, Lacob, who knew that the LOGO man would never make random promises, felt his heart jump.

"Please let me know.......

Do you have your eye on any big fish? Lacob asked.

"Stephen Curry has a very good friend.

And based on my expectations...

His friend might not be too happy in the East for the next few years.

So, if you are really ambitious, why not use these two years to prove to me how long-term your vision is? " West laughed.

"You are openly challenging the Lakers," Lacob said.

"If you want to stand out in this era, first of all, you can't be afraid of Sue and his team." West said.

"How confident are you that you can bring him to Oakland?" Lacob asked.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

West said after opening his drawer and taking out a photo of LeBron James and Stephen Curry sitting courtside eating and handing it to Lacob.

"It seems that you already had a plan before meeting me." Lacob said with a surprised look on his face.

"But if you don't reveal your ambition to me, then I don't have to tell you my plan. UU Reading www.uukｎshu.net

Also, if possible, I hope you can send a scout to check out a young player. "After a pause, West said.

"who?"

"Nothing, just the child of an old friend.

Because he doesn't want his child to take detours, he hopes that I can provide him with some help at the right time. " West shrugged.

After pondering for two seconds, West also looked at Lacob solemnly and said: "If we want to deal with No. 23 in Los Angeles, we must have a player who can at least compete with him.

Because, in this world, no one regrets more than me why I didn't select him to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1996 draft. "

"However, judging from the Lakers' lineup structure at the time, even if you brought Sue to Los Angeles..."

"You mean Shaq?

To be honest, I don't mean to offend Shaq, but in my opinion...

Ten of them can't compare to the combination of Su and Kobe.

Believe me, the NBA will soon be under the combined rule of Su and Kobe.

Now, at this time......

A nightmare for all 29 other teams in the NBA.....

It's already started. "

Pushing open the window and thinking about those years, West, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, said after a long sigh.

Kobe and Su Feng.

As the saying goes, if you want to defeat magic, you can only rely on magic.
