In last season's finals, Duncan singled out Anthony in the penalty area and missed a must-goal that he would never miss another 100 times. When he returned to defense, he slapped the floor angrily. The scene was moving.Countless fans once recalled the scene when Zidane missed the Hercules Cup after being sent off in the 06 World Cup.

And on the stage of this year's finals, the Spurs came back again!And used a dazzling team offense to disintegrate the Knicks' defense. When the two sides tied 1:1 in the first two games, Popovich moved Diaw into the starting lineup, and the Spurs began their ruthless harvest of the Knicks.

"In the past half of the game, the Spurs' shooting percentage has declined, from 80% to 60%." Such comments fully illustrate that the Spurs are almost dismantling the Knicks' defense!

Due to age, Nash's physical fitness has declined severely and it is difficult to cope with playoff-level confrontations; Holiday appeared in the position of the main point, and his personal offense dropped in the playoffs. During the finals, his true shooting percentage Only a pitiful 42%; Horford has less and less possession of the ball in his hands. The former "ball-blind evaluator" has truly become a "pseudo-space power forward" who cannot shoot open three-pointers, commonly known as "Horford". "One board"; except for J.R. Smith who can barely maintain his firepower, every Knicks player has experienced a decline in reputation.

4:1, the Spurs won the next three games by 20 points per game, swept the Knicks 4:1 without any blood, and won the 14th NBA championship.Winning the championship for the fourth time, this time, Duncan's smile was finally no longer so naive.

Leonard won the FMVP and was evaluated by some fans as "the best player to defend James." The subtext is that he won the FMVP by opposing James.

The Knicks lost to the Spurs 1:4, which was worse than the Kings.Curry fans feel regretful and believe that if the team has a complete lineup and beats the Spurs, they may not lose to the Knicks in the finals. Unfortunately, this can only be done temporarily.

The end of the finals also means the official end of the NBA season, but as the head coach and owner, Ke Yan's work is far from over, it has even just begun!

Sitting in the office, Ke Yan touched his chin and reviewed the scouting reports placed in front of his desk one by one.

It takes a lot of determination to give up "the strongest second-round pick in history", but fortunately, the players Ke Yan chose are not bad either.These two players are more likely to be integrated into the team's system than to dismantle the team's system.

. . . . . . .

The 14 NBA Draft will be held on June 6 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

As in previous years, all the management teams of the major teams attended this annual draft event.

The No. [-] pick in the draft is mentioned. Holt, the manager of the Orlando Magic, is smiling like a chrysanthemum. Andrew Wiggins has a dynamic talent comparable to James. It may be an exaggeration to say that the development direction is towards James. But there is still a good chance of becoming a player like Carter. If the team is built around him for two to three years, the Magic will soon be able to break out of the current quagmire;

The Magic, who hold the model draft pick, have made a "private lifelong decision" with Jabari Parker. Jabari Parker has made it clear that he is willing to play in Milwaukee, a small city with cold weather. This is a big surprise for the Bucks. !Moreover, Jabari Parker's immediate combat effectiveness is stronger. He and Wiggins are known as the Anthony and James of this draft;

The French-American center Embiid from Cameroon also has top NBA talent. He has only officially been exposed to basketball since he was 15 years old, but he plays the role of "boss" at the University of Kansas, allowing Wiggins, the top pick, to be his little brother.It's a pity that Embiid is injured, otherwise it's hard to say who is the No. [-] pick now!

The 14th class of rookies may be as powerful as the 07 class, and they are the most promising draft year in recent years.In addition to the top three, the Australian Exum, known as the "Penny Second Generation", Aaron Gordon who is modeled after Griffin, the mature and stable inside Randall, and the running back shooter McDermott are all quite comparable. It is expected that he can make a difference in the NBA; even Smart, who has completely developed in the blue-collar direction after entering the league, many people do not know that his draft template is "Harden/Deron".

For the second time he hosted the draft, Xiao Hua was much more comfortable than the last time. After his speech, the much-anticipated draft officially began.

At the beginning, the Magic selected Andrew Wiggins without leaving any suspense and put on the Magic's white hat. The image of Wiggins with a big mouth and a bright smile was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Since then, "Big Mouth" has become Wiggins' nickname.

There is no need to become the first No. [-] pick in history to be traded away by the team boss before he has even played. Maybe Brother Zui can have a different fate with the Magic?

"With the second overall pick, the Milwaukee Bucks select forward Jabari Parker from Duke University. …"

"With the third overall pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Joel Embiid from the University of Kansas. …"

"With the fourth overall pick, the New Orleans Pelicans select Dante Exum from Australia. …"

"With the fifth overall pick, the Orlando Magic selected Aaron Gordon from the University of Arizona. …"

When the Magic used the No. 5 pick that originally belonged to the Lakers to pick Aaron Gordon, little Jim Buss in the audience wanted to kill someone!

Howard slapped his butt, signed and left naked. He really stabbed the aorta of the Lakers!It can be said that the Lakers have never been so miserable in their history!

The Celtics took Smart with the sixth pick. Although Trey Burke had good statistics for the team, Ainge could also see that this guy's talent was limited and it was difficult to achieve big things. ;

The Suns selected Stauskas with the seventh pick, emmmm, I wonder how many teams his fans will follow him to!

The Eagles drafted Randle with the eighth pick.This choice makes people a little unpredictable. The current Randall is not the madman who plays singles with the ball later. He is closer to a pie-eating inside man with better athletic ability and immediate combat ability;

The Hornets, led by Joe, continue to play the role of "minesweeper". Feng Lai, who was selected with the ninth overall pick, has no memory of even senior fans like Yu Yue!Gang Leader Qiao's vision is really amazing.

The Rockets selected McDermott with the 10th overall pick. "Brother Knife"'s style of play in college has some shadows of Klay Thompson, and he has stronger dribbling ability and better athletic ability.But the Rockets already have Parsons, and there is some overlap between the two. This choice is puzzling;

The Pistons selected Elfrid Payton with the 11th overall pick. This is a somewhat unpredictable choice. The only explanation is that the Pistons really don't trust Knight that much;

The Timberwolves selected Zach LaVine with the 12th overall pick. The moment he was selected, you can clearly see the word "fuxk" highlighted in LaVine's mouth.The Timberwolves have a history of being a wing killer and have ruined countless wing players. Going to play in Minnesota, LaVine only felt his scalp numb;

The Nuggets selected Nurkic with the 13th overall pick. He is a center with solid basic skills, good top defense ability, and good support ability. The disadvantage is that he is slow in lateral movement and is a disaster in defending pick-and-rolls;

The Jazz selected Saric with the 14th overall pick, an Eastern European insider with certain singles ability and shooting ability.Mirotic, who was selected by the Bulls in 12, has made a splash in Europe. Many teams are seeking to reach a deal with the Bulls to acquire this insider. The Jazz also have the same intention when they choose the same type of Saric.Although Saric is under contract and may not land in the NBA immediately this season, this will have little impact on the Jazz, which has a relatively complete lineup. They missed the playoffs last season, and more problems remain. Out of Owen;

After the lottery draft is completed, most of the popular rookies are already in place. In the eyes of ordinary fans, the pace of the draft is inadvertently accelerating. People like TJ Warren, Gary Harris, Rodney Hood, and Capela also took their places one after another.

The Spurs selected "Time Lord" Kyle Anderson with the 28th pick, a wing who was later planned to join the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and renamed "Kyle Lee". His playing style is very unique and very similar to that of the Chinese martial arts. The true meaning of "hit fast and slow, overcome hardness with softness", has a very high basketball IQ, and is very good in both off-ball movement and organizational support.

Putting aside Ke Yan's cheating, the Spurs' drafting skills are really the most recognized.

The Knicks selected KJ McDaniels with the 29th pick, a wing who is not outstanding in other aspects except physical fitness.After Ke Yan left, the Knicks' draft returned to the level of a few years ago.

At this time, for the Kings, who held the last pick in the first round, Michael Keane had already submitted the envelope on behalf of the team.

When Xiao Hua picked up the envelope from the Kings, he couldn't help but take a second look.

“The Kings’ pick is…forward Jeremy Grant from Syracuse!”

When Xiao Hua read out the name, both TNT commentators and CCTV studios immediately found information about Jeremy Grant.

Jeremy Grant was born into a basketball family. His father is former NBA player Harvey Grant, and his uncle is Horace Grant, a member of the Bulls dynasty. Most of his family members are also engaged in the basketball industry.

With a height of 203cm, a wingspan of 220cm, and a weight of 195 pounds, just by looking at this figure, you can infer that Jeremy Grant is tall, thin, and a versatile forward with athletic ability; Curry completely pushed the league to the next level. After the small ball era, this type of player was very popular, but even though he was popular, Grant was not picked up by the Kings until the end of the first round, which fully shows that his shortcomings are also outstanding!

In college, Jeremy Grant was 100% good at cutting into the basket. During his entire sophomore year, he never made a single three-pointer!

During his sophomore year, Jeremy Grant mainly played the fourth position. His static talent was relatively outstanding in the NCAA, but he had no advantage in the NBA;

Jeremy Grant does not have any low-post offensive skills and is a pure pie-eater;

His defensive data during the same period in college were not good, averaging 0.8 blocks and 0.6 steals per game, both of which were not outstanding.

Taken together, apart from his excellent wingspan, he has no obvious advantage among players of the same type.He is not superior in shooting or defense, and his athletic ability is not outstanding compared to other swingmen at the third and fourth positions.

Even fans who "blindly worship" Ke Yan felt a little unsure after seeing Grant's draft report.

Grant himself was confused. He walked onto the stage, put on a Kings baseball cap, and finally smiled when he shook hands with Silver.

Originally, his draft prediction was in the second round, which is not a safe range. After all, there are still draft picks from Europe competing for positions, and there are so many second-round picks who were given up by the team after the summer league. There is no formal contract; now that he is selected in the first round, there is no such danger.

Moreover, Ke Yan is a very good coach in training rookies. After all, Sacramento is the capital of California, with the Bay Area at its back, and it is also a very convenient city to live in!

Surprises are surprises, the draft is still going on.

The Cavaliers selected white shooter Joe Harris with the 33rd overall pick. He is a pure shooter similar to Novak. He is mediocre in other aspects, but fortunately he is in a league that is more friendly to shooters;

The Pistons selected Dinwiddie with the 38th overall pick, a player who was mistaken for a Chinese player at first glance.He is a good combo guard, suitable as a secondary attacker and playing next to the ball-handling core, but if he carries the ball by himself to deal with the most defensive pressure, his efficiency will drop a lot;

The Nuggets selected Jokic with the 41st overall pick. This needs no introduction. Chinese fans admit that there are not many centers better than Yao Ming. O'Neal counts one and Jokic counts; basically there will be no "Yao Ming life". Better than Jokic in this era”;

That is, 6 minutes after the Nuggets selected Jokic, the Kings picked Jordan Clarkson with the 43rd overall pick!

Filipino Jordan is a typical double-edged sword player.His career has never left the words "singles", "ball holding" and "ball possession", and it has never been related to the words "efficiency"; basically your favorite star is his teammate, You must know how to curse!

But he is also the player other than Thomas who best embodies the word "inspirational".Kobe once revealed that Clarkson was the only player who, like him, came to the training ground early to practice.Referring to the fact that he was in a relationship with Kendall Jenner when he was with the Lakers early in his career. To put it another way, Kendall Jenner couldn't stop him from training!

During the NBA offseason, other players will go on vacation, eat, drink and have fun. After completing the planning procedures in 18, Clarkson has represented the Philippines in various international events almost every year, including the Asian Championships, Asian Cup, World Cup Asian Cup qualifiers, etc. The overall weak strength of the Philippine team is suitable for Clarkson to use this platform to hone his 1v5 ability. In fact, after experiencing the baptism of international competitions, Clarkson has indeed taken a step forward in his abilities.

This summer, Stephenson will 100% opt out of his contract and test the free agent market. The Kings need a new substitute to hold the ball.Clarkson may not be the most suitable, but at least it is an insurance provided by Ke Yan for the team!

Choosing Grant is a choice of talent and a long-term plan; Clarkson is different. As an older rookie, Clarkson has considerable fighting ability. Historically, he was selected for the "Rookie of the Year" in this draft year.Although it is more or less the "benefits" of losing Kobe and Randall of the Lakers, being able to absorb the ball when the team is in crisis is an ability in itself, isn't it?
