Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 884 [Depressed Curry, King Harden]

On the 24th, Guo Xu attended the premiere of Transformers 2 with his girlfriends. In this movie, Megan is a pure vase, but the box office will be guaranteed, which will consolidate her status and continue her unbeaten record at the box office. .

The movie Bombshell is all about watching explosions. The plot has many flaws or bugs. For example, when Optimus Prime was stabbed to death by one to three, the Autobots who came with him hid to watch the fun and just collected the corpses. Another example is Hercules’ balls, which make people unable to complain.

Generally speaking, movie fans still buy it.

On the 25th, the annual NBA draft began.

This year, the Suns kept a first-round pick, and traded the second-round pick as usual for some cash. Even if this pick is optional, the Suns have no shortage of rookies.

Ibaka will join the Suns next season, and the interior line will become very crowded by then. Even if Jordan is traded away, there will be no need to bring back anyone. Outsiders Grant Hill, Roy, Morrow, and Green will all stay.

The only person to leave is Jamario Moon. He had no chance to perform in the Suns. He unexpectedly won the dunk king last season. It is not difficult to find a job.

Veteran Barry will choose to retire and can no longer play.

The Clippers won the No. 1 pick and selected power forward Blake Griffin, known as the Second Generation Malone from the University of Oklahoma. Experts predict that he will become the Clippers' new leader in the new season.

Guo Xu doesn't believe this. Griffin, like Oden, was the unlucky No. 1 pick who was reimbursed in his rookie season, but his performance after recovery was much better than Oden.

Then, a tragedy happened. The Wizards used the second pick to take away Mutombo's template Hashim Thabeet. The center, who is 221cm tall, weighs 120kg and has a wingspan of 229cm, has become Tanzania's first NBA player.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Thabit was a loser. Not only could he not become Mutombo, he was not even a qualified role player.

Guo Xu felt that his body shape was somewhat similar to that of China's big devil Zhou Qi. His movement speed is not fast, his lower body strength is poor, his shoulders are narrow, and he has no advantage at all when getting stuck. The dark and hard centers in the NBA are just trying to beat someone like him who has an unstable base.

In addition, there is a problem with the mentality of African players. Once his rookie contract meets the needs of him and his family, there is little incentive to play. It is very difficult to make native African men love sports. When they have money, they know how to drink, gamble, find women, and think with their lower bodies.

NBA scouts don’t care about this.

As long as someone has height, wingspan, and athletic ability, they will consider selecting him with a high pick. Bradley's physical fitness was even worse than that of Thabeet, and he was also ranked second.

The Wizards drafted Thabeet to replace Kwame Brown. Brown stayed with the Wizards for 8 years after being selected. It turned out that he really had no potential to tap. His peak statistics were 11.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks. He was a pure blue-collar player.

Now, the Wizards have selected a new parallel import.

The Warriors were lucky enough to win the third overall pick, a few spots higher than the draft based on record, and selected Stephen Curry. An NCAA championship has increased Curry's worth, but it is not as valuable as an inside player.

The order changed, but Curry still joined the Warriors, because the Warriors' weakest position is the point guard. After the two big men were drafted away, most of the highly rated players in the lottery picks were guards.

Curry smiled bitterly when he took the stage. News had already broken out that he did not want to join the Warriors at all.

In May, the Warriors won the No. 3 pick, while the Kings and Knicks were in the fourth and fifth picks. They all promised to select Curry as long as he fell out of the top three.

Curry most wants to join the Knicks. They are located in New York and have high exposure. If there is no outside player, he can gain a lot of ball rights and even directly become the boss of the team. Bargnani, the No. 1 pick selected by the Knicks, was ineffective, and Joakim Noah was a blue-collar insider.

However, Warriors general manager Larry Riley valued Curry very much. He sent Curry and his agency team many trial invitations, but Curry rejected them all, and even ignored them in the end.

Just kidding, can the Warriors handle it? The genuine pairing of Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant could only score 20 points and not reach double figures in assists. Curry, as a player modeled after Guo Xu, went to the Warriors and was definitely a fixed-point shooter who dribbled the ball across half court and waited for opportunities.

The Warriors became more courageous the more they resisted, and they directly released the news that even if Curry does not come to participate in the trial training, he will be stopped in the third draft pick position! Their reason is simple. Although Harden is also good, he overlaps with Kobe as a shooting guard. Other point guards are obviously not as good as Curry. Rubio cannot join the NBA immediately.

Curry's team had no choice but to go to Riley and communicate in a low voice: Please don't intercept Curry. Curry and the Warriors are really inappropriate. We want him to go to New York!

This matter made a big fuss in the news. In the end, the Warriors still drafted Curry. He was stimulated before he even played in the NBA.

The fourth pick has undergone a big change. Although the Kings, who are last in the Western Conference, did not choose the top three, they selected James Harden. Guo Xu didn't even know what Harden's career would become, but it seemed to be good for him.

If he joins the Thunder, he will only be able to play as a substitute and lack the ball rights. He won the Best Sixth Man Award in the third year. Many people think that is his upper limit.

In the Kings, Harden should be reused as soon as he leaves, and he will have a lot of shooting rights. However, he may play point guard like another bearded Baron Davis, and his data will definitely be better than joining the Thunder.

Iverson's big contract has just expired, and there is no way the Kings will renew it. Last season, the guard combination of Iverson and Martin was a colander every time, allowing the opponent's guards to play casually, and role players could produce star statistics against them. , the Kings management was convinced.

The next thing the Kings have to do is to send away Martin, who is strong in offense and weak in defense. There are many offensive players in the team, and what they need is to strengthen their perimeter defense.

The Kings' lineup for the new season has great potential, with Harden, Martin, Jason Richardson, Francisco Garcia, and Brook Lopez.

The Knicks selected combo guard Tyreke Evans with the fifth pick, a man with good abilities but unable to find his position. In Guo Xu's previous life, Evans had his peak rookie season, scoring 20+5+5 and was elected the Rookie of the Year. After that, his data dropped year after year.

Now, the breakout rookie is likely to be replaced by Harden.

Rubio, who has attracted much attention, unfortunately missed out on his favorite King and was selected by the Trail Blazers with the sixth pick.

This Spanish golden boy who was born on October 21, 1990 has already demonstrated his talent at the Beijing Olympics. Although he was completely abused by Guo Xu, his comprehensive strength has been recognized and he is considered to be a magician in the future. people. The reason why the pick has dropped repeatedly is obviously affected by the buyout fee of his contract and the fact that he did not give any team a tryout.

It was the Thunder's turn to choose seventh place. They also unexpectedly selected DeMar DeRozan.

DeRozan's fate has changed. If the Thunder draw the top three, Harden will be their first choice, followed by Evans. Because they have Westbrook at point guard, what they need is a swingman. After missing out on those two players, the only thing they are interested in is DeRozan, who has a strong body. His shortcoming is that his shooting is not good enough, and he does not have three-pointers, but he has to practice his mid-range shooting.

Guo Xu's prophetic ability is no longer that useful. The Thunder's lineup also has unlimited potential. If there is a good coach to help the players improve their strength, they will definitely become a powerful force in the Western Conference in the future.

Of course, it is also possible that DeRozan will be eliminated directly because he has no ball rights and become a target that can be missed...
