Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

The next day, the sun was three poles high, and Yang Li finally got up with his waist supported.

Today is January 2010, 6.

The 2010 NBA Draft kicks off at Madison Square Garden.

When Yang Li came to Madison Square Garden with three female companions, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

On the one hand, it was indeed because the female companion brought by Yang Li was too conspicuous.

On the other hand, everyone wanted to see who Yang Li would pick in this year's draft.

They still vividly remember Yang Li's series of dazzling operations in last year's draft.

In particular, the bold operation of signing the champion to the next transaction is a coquettish operation that most people can't think of.

Winning Curry with the sixth pick also greatly exceeded other people's expectations.

But it was these magical operations that directly helped the Clippers enter the ranks of the league's strong teams.

Not long ago, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Utah Jazz reached a deal.

It's nothing more than a merger of two deals.

The Clippers and the Jazz swap first-round picks (acquired from the Knicks).

At the same time, the Clippers will send last season's best sixth man Jamal Crawford to the Jazz.

The Clippers will get Ronnie Price and a special case of 942 million transactions.

However, personnel transactions will not be completed until after July 7.

The pick the Clippers got was the 8th pick in the first round.

Yang Li couldn't help feeling a little funny when he saw this lottery.

How the wheel of history turned back again.

The Clippers in the previous life were the 8th pick in the first round this year, and now I have traded this pick back.

However, Yang Li will never use this 8th pick to select Aminu again.

This Aminu's peak season is only at the level of 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Yang Li doesn't like it at all.

Yang Li's goal must be his fellow Los Angeles-Paul George!

If the 2010 NBA draft is rearranged, Paul George is the well-deserved No. [-] pick.

This is the ruthless character who led the Pacers to the tiebreaker with the thriving Big Three Heat in the East!

And in his previous life, he went around and went around, and finally came to the Los Angeles Clippers.

In this life, don't let Pickle take so many detours, just come to the Clippers directly.

Soon, David Stern took the stage and announced the selection of the Washington Wizards.

John Wall, a star point guard from the University of Kentucky.

As a freshman, he averaged 16.6 points, 6.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Among them, his 241 assists in a single season also created a University of Kentucky team history record.

In the eyes of people at the time, this was indeed very exciting.

A traditional point guard with fast speed and comprehensive skills, he is simply the best candidate for the core of the team.

But later, due to his glass man attributes and his worrying projection ability, he was slowly eliminated by the times.

No, strictly speaking, it was eliminated by Curry's era.

Because the era in which all employees need to devote themselves to ability was created by Curry, and it belongs to Curry's era!

With the second pick, the Philadelphia 2ers selected Evan Turner, a good wing player.

With the 3rd pick, the New Jersey Nets chose Derek Favors, an excellent defensive four.

With the 4th pick, the Timberwolves chose Wesley Johnson, who is also a good wing player.

With the 2nd and 4th picks, even two teams chose wing players, but neither chose Paul George.

It's really hard to see things with eyesight.

Next, the Kings took "cousin" DeMarcus Cousins ​​with the fifth overall pick.

The cousin in the peak season can be regarded as the league's number one center, but his mood is too unstable.

After the serious injury, the cousin can still develop the three-point ability.

I have to say, what a talented player.

If possible, Yang Li would really like to have him.

It's a pity that the Clippers' chips this year are really not enough.

With the next 6th pick, the Warriors chose Aipai Udo.

Although the Warriors in the previous life chose Curry in 09 and Thompson in 11.

But I have to say that Yudu, who was selected in 10, really went wrong.

The seventh overall pick was the Detroit Pistons, who still chose Greg Monroe.

Seeing this result, Yang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The 2010th pick in the [-] NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected...Paul George!"

Wow!

There was an uproar at the scene.

This Yang Li, he made another unexpected choice.

You must know that before, no media ranked Paul George among the top ten picks.

Even, he can't even be ranked in the lottery.

But this Yang Li sent away last season's best sixth man just to pick this sophomore who played minor league games at Fresno State University?

Check out Paul George's draft report.

Pros: George has played well in some games, has excellent wingspan and range, has a quick shot, he is very athletic, and has excellent transition offense.

Well, in terms of merit alone, he's a black guy who can run and jump.

After all, these characteristics of him will appear in many black wing players.

Disadvantages: George's biggest disadvantage is that he can't create scoring opportunities by himself. His shooting efficiency after dribbling is very low.

Once these shortcomings are exposed, the devil will put him in the lottery show!

However, look at it through the eyes of others.

All these shortcomings of George are gone!

And many of them have become his advantage.

For example, he was unable to create scoring opportunities by himself, and then Paojiao was the league's top wing singles player!

When A. Smith saw this choice, he immediately started complaining. After all, as a Knicks fan, he could have a "feud" with Yang Li.

In particular, Curry has performed well in the past year, not to mention winning the best rookie, and was also selected to the second team of the best team.

In his opinion, it was Yang Li who stole the future from the Knicks!

"I really can't understand Bruce Young's choice. Although he stole Curry from the Knicks last year, it doesn't mean he really has vision."

As A. Smith said, he took out the materials in his hand and began to count down the players in this year's draft.

"The most important choice for the Clippers this year is Cole Aldridge from the University of Kansas. They sent away Chris Kaman last season. Only DeAndre Jordan is a real center in the lineup. Sometimes, they even need Ibaka to play center."

Oh, we do need a real center, but I already have Dayao.

"Even if they need a wing player." A. Smith continued, "They also have Aminu from Vixen University and Gordon Hayward from Butler University to choose from."

Yes yes yes, you are right.

Yang Li smiled, if there is no Paul George, I would really choose Hayward.

But your hatred for me is somewhat unreasonable, right?

You New York Knicks are optimistic about Curry, and I am also optimistic about Curry, so I cut Curry ahead of time.

Is this a problem?

This is the nba, the top professional basketball league in the world.

Do I have to carry forward Kong Rong's traditional Chinese virtue of making pears?

Since you New York Knicks fans hate me so much, I have to snatch another player from you this year!

The Clippers' second-round picks were traded this year, so there's nothing to do with the Clippers.

Yang Li didn't leave in a hurry, he simply sat on the scene and watched the excitement.

When the 60th pick was announced, Yang Li felt a little regretful, but he also breathed a sigh of relief with excitement.

The player I wanted really didn't have a team to choose him!

That means that I can take him down this year without paying any price!

If the NBA loses the draft, any team can contact him and offer him a contract.

Generally, it is a 10-day short contract. As long as he can perform well in the summer league or preseason, he may get a long-term contract from the team.

In fact, there was a very good undrafted pick in 2009.

Wesley Matthews played for the Utah Jazz last season.

A very good backcourt 3D player.

To be honest, Yang Li really thought about signing him last season.

However, in Yang Li's plan, the Clippers already have three players at the shooting guard position.

Harden, who was drafted last year, and Manu, who was traded from the Spurs, and Klay Thompson, who Yang Li was sure to win in the 2011 draft!

No matter how many Matthews are at this time, there is no playing time for him.

It’s good to pick up leaks, but don’t be greedy~

However, this year's undrafted pick, Yang Li will definitely not miss it!

After the draft was over, Yang Li had been waiting at the exit of the personnel channel early on.

Yang Li stopped a young man who was about the same height as him and also had yellow skin in the crowd.

"Hey Jeremy, would you like to chat with me?"
