I am Really an Insider

Chapter 688 685: It’s hard to repay a debt of gratitude to a top traffic star (5.1K votes requested)

In the 2015 draft, the rookies experienced what top traffic is for the first time.

In previous drafts, young talents attracted the most attention.

And this year, the one who received the most attention was actually a professional mixed martial arts athlete who had not played for more than two years, and who shocked the entire industry before even playing a game after announcing his return...!

What do you think this is?

What can Wayne do? He is also very distressed!

It was also the first time that he participated in a draft and was watched by reporters.

"Wayne, how are you feeling?"

"You are about to enter the NBA, are you nervous?"

"Are you ready for a new challenge?"

Facing the reporters at the entrance of the Barclays Center, Wayne felt as if he had traveled back in time more than ten years ago.

Damn it.

Why do you act like I'm going to participate in the draft?

"Well, I'm a little nervous. I hope I can be selected in the lottery. If possible, I really hope to win the FMVP in the first year of my rookie season."

Wayne then joked with reporters.

And those young people who are seriously preparing to participate in the draft can only be envious and jealous.

When will we be able to show off like Wayne?

How popular is Wayne? When I went to the convenience store in the Barclays Center to buy water, the boss even insisted not to take any money from Wayne, but only required a photo with Wayne.

So why is Wayne so embarrassed? Although the money for this bottle of water may not mean much to the boss, it still has to be given.

After all, Wayne doesn't think it's something to be proud of when you don't have to pay for water in the supermarket.

In the end, Wayne gave the money and the group photo was taken. Then, under the cheers of fans and reporters, he walked into his own private room.

This formation caused fans on the Internet to joke: "This rookie looks very hot, but he will die if he is hot! If you look at him like that, he must be a parallel import! Only teams like the Trail Blazers will choose him, right? A dog's head will save his life." ~”

Some netizens joked: "Wayne probably really wants to participate in the draft again, because the only thing in his life that cannot surpass James is that Wayne has never been the top pick in the draft!"

Don't tell me, it makes a lot of sense.

After retiring, Mousse can say without blushing or heartbeat: Wayne has never surpassed him in the draft.

After sitting down in the private room, Wayne went to look in the refrigerator and found that there was quite a lot to eat.

The luxurious private rooms in NBA stadiums have everything you need.

Basically everything is included except that you have to bring your own female companion.

Wayne took out a few pieces of cake from the refrigerator and found a large bottle of Fat House Happy Water.

If I had known this thing existed, why would I have gone to a convenience store to buy water?

After putting all these things on the table, Wayne was about to get started as usual.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that I could no longer eat and drink recklessly.

Wayne has begun to get back in shape for the new season, and Mancias has been helping Wayne train recently.

Because he just finished a UFC game some time ago, Wayne's figure is not seriously out of shape, and it is not difficult to recover.

But in this initial period, we must not take it lightly.

After your body is in shape, eating and drinking occasionally may not have much impact.

You see, Du Xiaoshuai also goes to the sidelines to eat snacks from the fans from time to time. He is indeed the richest loser.

NBA players are human beings too, and eating one or two bites occasionally won't have much impact.

But now, because Wayne's figure is not yet in shape and he is prone to gaining weight, he must be extremely strict in control.

Wayne doesn't want to turn into a barrel centenarian.

Moreover, Wayne was afraid that he would not be able to stop after eating once.

After all, after two years of indulgence, it is still a test of perseverance to suddenly have to control. At this time, you have to withstand the temptation.

Sharapova: That's not true. That's too tempting. Last night, my mother tried her best, but he remained unmoved. She called it saving energy. snort! Men are all big pig hooves!

"Hey, I'll give you all these things." Looking at the happy water and cake in front of him, Wayne felt heartbroken.

Patterson was not polite, he just picked it up and started doing it.

While eating, I also discussed with Wayne about this year's draft.

In this year's draft, the Trail Blazers' goal is simple, which is to find a 3D backup guard or a center who can defend.

If possible, take both of them together.

The current Trail Blazers lineup is most lacking in backup guards and frame-protecting centers.

Once Thompson and Middleton leave, the only person available on the back line is the old educator Tony.

In the original history, the Trail Blazers still had C.J. McCollum.

But because the Trail Blazers were champions when Wayne retired and did not have such a high draft pick, McCollum now belongs to the Mavericks.

As for Allen Crabbe, the second-round pick in 2013, Wayne felt that he could not be reused and did not consider him on the roster at all.

As for the inside line, my sister-in-law actually still has some offensive power.

You may not believe it, but my sister-in-law even averaged 15 points per game last season.

In the World Cup a year ago, my sister-in-law averaged 22 points and 5 rebounds per game, shooting 65% from the field.

At first glance, this guy is still a top insider.

This is what great European big men are good for, because they have never relied on athletic ability to play. Even as I get older, my skills are still there.

His delicate hook, excellent supporting passes, perfect overall view, and rich experience will not be eroded by time.

But the biggest problem for my sister-in-law is that he has been unable to do what he wants on the defensive end since a few years ago.

Especially in recent years, the pace of the game has become faster and faster, and my sister-in-law is basically a liability on the defensive end.

Hurry up, I can't keep up. You really need to let him serve as a human shield in the low post. He can't stand up to people now.

In one sentence, it can be described as being unable to do anything.

Hard is even worse than his sister-in-law, because even at his peak, he was not the kind of person who could kill the game with offense.

As he gets older, both his defense and offense decline.

Last season, the scene where the two big insiders, sister-in-law and hard special, were molested by Green, a dwarf, was really a tearful scene.

Therefore, the inside line also needs to make up for it.

The draft is often the most cost-effective channel for reinforcement.

Especially with the blessing of Wayne, the "walking encyclopedia of rookies."

And Wayne's first target in the draft was University of Texas insider Myles Turner!

"Myles Turner? He was the No. 2 high school student in the country at the time, and his physical talent was very good. A talented player like him will not fall out of the lottery."

Patterson shook his head as he watched Wayne cross off Turner's name on the list.

Turner does meet the needs of the Trail Blazers. At least from the perspective of high school and college, he has good frame protection ability and is not good at offensive methods, but he can do a little bit of everything.

Wayne also knows the ugly country Eason Chan fairly well. When Paojiao left the Pacers, the Pacers once wanted to use Turner as the core of the team.

After all, the second-year Turner averaged 14.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and also shot 34.8% from three-point range.

And his physical talent is really strong. With a height of 2.11 meters and a wingspan of 2.24 meters, he can block out the sky when standing next to the basket.

It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of God. Oladipo and Sabonis, whom Paojiao traded from the Thunder, are so good that Turner's tactical status has dropped a lot.

Especially Sabonis, the second-generation star has established himself as an All-Star in one fell swoop after finding his niche in the Big Cornfield.

Turner, on the other hand, was reduced to a blue-collar guy who opened up space for Sabonis and wiped out his defense. Coupled with his soft style of play, he gradually disappeared from everyone.

Yes, don’t be fooled by his rugged appearance and occasional buckle videos. In fact, Turner is a player with a less tough style of play.

Judging from the star's requirements, Turner is driving high and moving low, and is nothing.

But if we only look at the requirements of blue-collar workers, Turner is enough.

After all, he is a man who once won the league's shot-blocking title. What kind of bicycle does this kind of blue-collar worker need?

Turner's shot-blocking leader is not just a brush, he is the real deal.

His assist defense and individual defense are very good, and his defensive position selection is also very smart.

Without him, with Sabonis's defense, the Pacers would have been smashed inside.

What Wayne needs is exactly a blue-collar guy who can defend, open up space, and do the dirty work.

And maybe the style of play is soft.

It doesn't matter, Director Wei and Director Wolf will give him good guidance on the training ground. After a few elbows, he will know what it means to be a tough guy.

From now on, Turner will do push-ups and bang his head against the basketball hoop. This picture is beautiful to think about.

Curry: A blue-collar guy who can space the floor, be tough and defend? Isn't that Wei Gening himself?

Blue-collar Wei Shi hammered.

To sum up, Myles Turner is the best choice the Blazers can get.

It's not like Wayne hasn't considered Harrell, who will appear in the second round this year, but to be honest, Harrell's defense is not as stable as Turner's, and his shooting range is not enough.

So Harrell became Plan B.

But as Patterson said, the Trail Blazers' draft picks this year were all in the 20s, so they chose Turner.

Wayne is not worried about this, he has his own solution.

"Of course I know that the picks we have are not in the lottery, otherwise I would have chosen Towns directly. But I told you yesterday, I have a way."

"Stop being so pretentious, Wei, the draft is about to start." Patterson looked at Wayne's confident look and shook his head.

Why is Wayne always so good at draft matters?

It's up to you to be the general manager.

After a while, the draft officially began, and Mr. Stern continued to take the stage to host.

Stern knows that fans are tired of looking at his face.

But he really wanted to say something: "Actually, I'm really tired of hosting the talent show!"

But there's nothing he can do about it. Who can let him fail to live up to his expectations?

After a brief opening statement, the 2015 draft officially began.

With the first pick, the Timberwolves used the No. 1 pick to select the powerful man Karl-Anthony Towns.

This tall and long-armed No. 4 showed great potential in college.

Shooting, holding the ball, post, defense, everything.

This is basically a typical representative of modern insiders.

In today's league, it's increasingly difficult for big men to be big men.

You have to run as fast as a guard, shoot as accurately as a guard, and be as athletic as a small forward. Then, you have to be able to protect the frame and respond.

Master Huo: Just kill me!

And the person who raised the bar was the one making the phone call in the luxury box at this time.

Timberwolves fans are numb. Minneapolis has nothing but the top pick!

What's the use of being number one? Many fans who have been watching football since they were children now have their own children playing soy sauce, but the Timberwolves still cannot make the playoffs.

With the second pick, the Los Angeles Lakers selected D'Angelo Russell.

As a rare high-draft pick for the Lakers, Russell has received even more attention than No. 1 pick Towns.

This is the benefit of the big market.

But he probably never imagined that one day he would go to cold Minneapolis to partner with Towns and compete for the team.

Another No. 1 pick!

With the third pick, the Philadelphia 76ers selected former No. 1 high school student in the country, Jahlil Okafor.

It can be seen that Okafor is not very happy on his face, because he really hopes to play in Los Angeles.

And if Okafor knew that his position with the 76ers would soon be replaced by a guy who can't play now, he would probably be even more unhappy.

With the fourth pick, the Knicks selected Porzingis, a white forward from Latvia.

Good guy, there was a huge boo from the audience.

The camera showed the Knicks fans in the stands, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction with this choice by giving thumbs up.

A young fan even burst into tears at the scene.

Don't be surprised, these are New York fans with simple folk customs, the most special existence among the league's fan groups.

They can give the cheers to their opponents and the boos to their own people.

Of course, if you can really bring up the mud, then don't doubt that Knicks fans will give you the greatest respect!

New York doesn’t believe in tears, here food is the original sin.

The next few picks were similar to the original history. When Mudiay was selected with the sixth pick, Wayne made a phone call.

"How are you thinking? Bird."

"Oh, okay, okay, I can't defeat you! Just consider it as a return of favor, Myles Turner is yours!" On the other end, Big Bird Bird sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, the debt of favor is the most difficult debt to repay in the world.

After saying a few words, Wayne hung up the phone with a smile and turned to look at Patterson: "Done, get ready to hold a press conference for Myles Turner."

Patterson:? ? ?

Damn it.

Why are you just holding a press conference? What about other lottery picks? What fool would be willing to trade with the Trail Blazers?

Wayne: Of course it’s Bird’s Beep King. Fool + Beep King equals... uh.

Bird just agreed to accept the Trail Blazers' request for the late first round + second round pick in exchange for the 11th overall pick.

To be honest, no matter how you calculate this deal, the Pacers will lose money.

There are no players Bird is too optimistic about in the late first round and second round this year.

As for Myles Turner, he was previously the No. 2 high school student in the United States.

If it weren't for the unstable performance problems exposed during the NCAA period, Turner would never have fallen out of the top ten.

But there was no way, Bird had to agree. And it's not because Bird is stupid.

Mainly because when he and the Trail Blazers traded for Holiday, he owed a debt of gratitude.

And Holiday is now a quasi-All-Star player, so Wayne dared to speak to Bird Lion.

After all, Bird's relationship with Wayne is here, and he does owe a favor first.

The older generation still has its own rules.

I have no choice but to submit obediently.

Bird felt that he was at a loss, and Wayne also felt that the Trail Blazers were at a loss.

Myles Turner and Holiday are not players of the same level at all. Holiday has actually been in two defensive formations. Although he is not a first-tier superstar in the league, he can be regarded as a top second or third player. Become the boss.

What about Turner? At best, he is a blue-collar guy.

That's it, you still don't want to.

With the 11th pick, the Big Cornfield Pacers selected Myles Turner.

Turner smiled very reluctantly because he expected to be higher in the draft.

However, not long after the big yellow hat was put on, the transaction information was printed on the big screen.

Myles Turner looked up and found that he was going to be teammates with the legendary superstar Wayne.

"I'll wipe it!" Turner was startled. He was ecstatic at first, but soon became frightened again.

I heard that Wayne is very strict with his teammates, which is ridiculous.

Turner thought of Kwame Brown.

If Zhou Qi were at the audition, he would probably come over to comfort Turner: "It's okay, believe me, Director Wei never curses, really, he just likes to recite poetry."

Speaking of which, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin will also be selected this year.

But Wayne, who already knew their ending, wasn't looking forward to it.

The Trail Blazers robbed a lottery pick, but at the cost of losing their second-round pick.

Originally, Patterson was also very optimistic about Turkish forward Osman and University of Tennessee star defender Josh Richardson.

But now without a second-round pick, they can't come.

But it's worth it to get Turner with the 11th pick.

Moreover, Wayne is not worried about the failure of defender reinforcements.

Although they cannot get new players from the draft, the Trail Blazers still have many options in the next free agent market.

The draft was finally over, and Myles Turner found that to some extent, he was no less popular than the top three picks.

Because of Wayne's comeback, the Trail Blazers have been synonymous with traffic this season.

Being drafted by the Trail Blazers, you are one of the most trafficked people in this draft class.

Reporters also interviewed Wayne afterwards and asked him if he knew about the deal.

Wayne didn't hide it: "Our goal has always been him, and I believe he can perform well."

Saying this may put pressure on Turner, but Wayne did it on purpose.

Being a servant of the king means risking one's life and playing in the playoffs!

What if you don’t have the ability to withstand stress?

After the interview, Wayne and Patterson returned to the hotel.

As soon as he returned to the room, Wayne made a phone call without stopping.

Now, it’s time to start the next reinforcement plan!

Speaking of which, this is the third time Wayne has recruited this person to be his teammate.

The first two times, he failed to come due to various reasons.

In the blink of an eye, Wayne himself was 32, and he became a living fossil.

This time, Wayne felt that he would not refuse.
