Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 885 [The lineup is scary, choose anyone at will]

The Bucks selected Brandon Jennings with the 8th pick.

This is an out-and-out academic scumbag. In high school, he averaged 33.5 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game. However, because his homework was unable to meet the basic requirements for entering college, he had no choice but to choose to play in Europe and gave up going to college. He became the first American player to join the European League directly without participating in the NCAA after the NBA's age limit was implemented.

He played 27 games for Roma in Italy, averaging 17 minutes per game, scoring 5.5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.5 steals, shooting 47.2% from the field and 27.3% from three-point range. The reason why he was selected at No. 8 with such ordinary data is because the Bucks are optimistic about his age and physical fitness.

The Bucks like small, fast guards who are good at breakthroughs. TJ Ford was also of this type back then. Jennings has no injury risks and looks very promising.

The Bobcats selected insider Jordan Hill with the 9th pick, the player with the strongest name this year. His strength...it is difficult to average double figures in points and rebounds per game.

Jonny Flynn, the No. 6 pick in Guo Xu's previous life, was not selected by the Bulls until the 10th pick. This is an unlucky guy whose fate was changed by the butterfly effect. The basketball world has become popular with point guards shooting three-pointers, and Flynn, who is a poor shooter from COSCO, is not favored.

Flynn, who is only 180cm tall with bare feet, was selected with the 10th pick because the Bulls valued his perseverance.

This year's NCAA Syracuse University and the University of Connecticut's Big East Tournament quarterfinals battle actually lasted 6 overtimes. Syracuse University finally defeated the NCAA's most powerful UConn 127-117.

In this magical game, Flynn played a crucial role. Originally unable to determine whether he would play due to injury, he insisted on participating in the game and played almost full duty for 67 minutes, scoring 34 points, 11 assists and 5 steals.

Well, his efficiency is simply ridiculous. After Guo Xu's first time loop that year, if he played 67 minutes in a single NCAA game, he would definitely set a magical record that will never be broken.

For Flynn, joining the Bulls was a very sad thing. He could only play as a substitute for Derrick Rose. The Bulls also failed to select him. The team obviously lacked good inside players, so why choose a guard?

There is no way, this year's outstanding rookies are almost all outsiders, otherwise Thabeet would not be ranked second.

The Heat selected North Carolina's historical scoring leader Tyler Hansbrough with the 11th pick to strengthen the weakest No. 4 position. Hansbrough once won all the individual awards in college, but without extraordinary physical fitness, it was considered difficult to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. If he falls into the hands of Pat Riley, he will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

There are not many capable players behind them.

The ceiling is mostly role players. There are also some with good value for money. Point guard Jrue Holiday was selected by the 76ers.

Compared with Guo Xu's previous life, the team that has changed the most in this draft is the Timberwolves. They made the playoffs last season and were the division champion. They did not trade a bunch of draft picks for reconstruction, and many newcomers changed clubs because of this.

The Timberwolves only selected one point guard, Ty Lawson, who is 180cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is extremely fast, can break through and shoot. They will not trade Lawson out, they want to keep him as the sixth man, and they will not be passed over by Guo Xu against the Suns.

Just as all teams wanted a human shield center to deal with O'Neal back then, now playoff teams also want to find a speedy defender to deal with Guo Xu, otherwise the outside line will be broken into a sieve. However, with Lawson's height, Guo Xu doesn't need to break through when facing him. It's easier to shoot directly.

This year Guo Xu did not propose to Suns owner and manager Brian Colangelo who to choose, because the core of the team is there and there are too many potential newcomers. Whoever he chooses will not get too many playing opportunities. Just choose casually. .

Jordan is not involved in whether to trade Guo Xu, leaving it to the management to do whatever they want. Other teams don't have the teammates he wants. Jordan, who has only improved his statistics for one season, has not played much time. With his high efficiency, his value will be higher than when he participated in the draft, but it is difficult to replace him with a strong man. At most, he will need to change to a rookie.

The Suns selected Sam Young with the 30th pick. He is a forward who is 198cm tall, weighs 100kg and has a wingspan of 214cm. There are no surprises. At first glance, he is a fringe player who will be waiting for Moon to leave.

Young finished his senior year at the University of Pittsburgh. He averaged 18.2 points per game this season and his mid-range jumper is very stable. His physical fitness is good, and because he is an older rookie drafted relatively late, he is an immediate combatant.

There are also many outstanding role players in the second round this year. For example, the Pistons selected Jerebko and Chase Budinger, who will leave their footprints in the NBA. Jerebko is still playing in 2018.

The Bucks drafted Jody Meeks, a pretty good shooting guard.

The Rockets selected Marcus Thornton, who is worth picking up in the second round. He is a 193cm tall shooting guard with a playing style similar to Eric Gordon. His offensive strength and weak defense are underestimated.

The Lakers selected Patrick Beverley, the Cavaliers selected Danny Green...

This year, the Cavaliers selected swingmen with both draft picks, but the picks were not high and it will be difficult to make an impact in the new season. In fact, apart from the lottery picks, the best immediate shooting guard is an undrafted player named Wesley Matthews, which Cavaliers scouts cannot find.

Guo Xu knew that Matthews was good, but he was too lazy to sign when the Suns came. He would only be a marginal player when he came. His overall strength is not as good as Roy's, his three-pointer is not as good as Morrow's, his physical fitness is not as good as Green's, and his role is useless.

After the draft ended, Brian called Guo Xu. Guo Xu said that he could find anyone in the free market and he didn't care about this year's signings. It's not that Guo Xu is lazy and doesn't care about the team's title defense next season, but it's just that there is nothing to take care of.

How strong is the Suns lineup?

Veteran insiders think that the Suns can't even hug him. Gortat is a free agent this year. If a team is willing to offer him a premium contract, the Suns have no interest in keeping him. The Polish Hammer is just a marginal person, the kind who has little chance to play.

In fact, there is no need for Sam Young, the rookie selected this year, to stay. Matt Barnes, the league's famous working expert and blue-collar swingman, has asked his agent to recommend himself and wants to join the Suns. This person is not very interested in money, he just wants to win the championship.

Guo Xu, who is not worried, can enjoy his vacation to the fullest, finish filming the movie with O'Neal first, and then consider doing other things.

The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis had no impact on Guo Xu. Not only did his net worth not shrink, it also increased significantly. Houses have become cheaper, which makes it easier for the Fat Fox group to open branches everywhere, and it has now developed into the fourth largest pizza brand in the world.

What's even more awesome is that the shares of Apple and Priceline that Guo Xu holds are worth countless times more than his cost price. As a major shareholder, he only needs to sell all the shares, and his worth will be worth 10 Jordans.

After the U.S. stock market surged from 2013 to 2018, as long as these two companies did not have a big butterfly effect, Guo Xu's wealth would continue to rise and there would be endless money to spend.

The only dissatisfaction is that Guo Xu is now too famous. No matter which country he goes to, there will be a large number of star-chasers, and he can no longer put on makeup. You can't leave your girlfriend at home and go out to play by yourself. Those two are also celebrities. When the three of them go out together, fans, movie fans, and fans can recognize them.

If you show your identity in a big way, you won't be going out for fun, but on a visit to other countries. No matter where you go, you will be contacted by the authorities and countless security guards will clear the way. Guo Xu can make a lot of money by going out like this, but it's not interesting and doesn't feel like a vacation.

Unless he enters the parallel world of time loop again, he will not be able to regain the feeling of freedom of ordinary people. Two years have passed since 2007, and he doesn’t know if he can enter the cycle again in the future...
