I’m Really Playing Basketball

As a rookie on the edge of the lottery, Devin Booker was selected by the Warriors with the No. 8 pick, which was definitely a huge surprise for him.

Especially the Golden State Warriors were the NBA champions last season. If there is a city and a city, there must be achievements and achievements. For a rookie, this is definitely the perfect place.

Therefore, after Devin Booker was selected by the Warriors, Devin Booker, who shook hands with David Stern on stage, can definitely be said to be laughing from ear to ear.

And after the draft, Devin Booker said excitedly to the people around him: "I'm going to play next to God, I'm going to play next to Kobe!"

As a senior Xiaofan and Comey, for Devin Booker, this day is definitely his happiest day.

On the other side, college guard Norman Powell, who was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 29th overall pick in the first round, was equally excited at this time.

However, unlike Devin Booker, Devin Booker was selected by the Warriors, which was a surprise, while Norman Powell was more excited.

As the leading star, he is a player that Jerry West has investigated for a long time. After all, how could a California star, as a California local snake and a California team, be ignored.

What's more, the Warriors still have a senior, Matt Barnes, so Norman Powell already knew that he would be selected by the Warriors.

However, although I knew for a long time that I would be selected by the Warriors, it is still unbelievable that I was actually selected, and it was still selected in the first round.

Norman Powell showed his very good shooting standard when he was in the NCAA, plus his defense in college was also outstanding, plus his good athletic ability, he is a player that Jerry West is very optimistic about .

His height is 1.94 meters, his wingspan is 2.1 meters, he can bounce 83 centimeters on the spot and 103 centimeters for a run-up bounce. Whether it is a static talent or a dynamic talent, he is very good.

And his scouting report also shows that he has strong athletic ability, strong explosiveness, and a strong body. He is like a steam-spraying train on the court. On the offensive end, he is very aggressive, and his defense is also excellent. Aggressive, as an opponent, he has few shortcomings and is very difficult to deal with.

Such a good rookie, how can Jerry West be sure that he can fall so far behind?

Of course, because his height, as a shooting guard, is only 1.94 meters, which is too short, and as a dual-energy guard, his ball control and vision passing are not enough.

Just like those 2.03-meter power forwards who can be embarrassed by three or four, a 1.94-meter shooting guard like Powell is also a little embarrassed.

So, historically Powell even dropped to the second round...

In this time and space, Powell's draft expectations are not high.

However, these shortcomings of his are not considered shortcomings in the Warriors. Is it not that he is a little short, or that he has poor ball control, what does it matter.

Chen Xiao is best at cultivating players' ball-handling and defensive abilities. With a wingspan of 2.10 meters, if this is placed in the position of a point guard, he is simply a small Luo Ge.

Rogo's wingspan of 1.96 meters and 2.17 meters is simply a nightmare for the entire league guard.

Powell has the potential to be a player like Roger.

Although his static talent is worse than that of Luo Ge, and his football quotient is definitely much worse than that of Luo Ge, his athletic talent is much stronger than that of Luo Ge.

The future is worth looking forward to.

In this year's draft, the Warriors selected two rookie guards, Devin Booker and Norman Powell.

The Warriors' second-round pick was not used by the Warriors, but was sold.

After the draft, the Warriors' operations continued.

The most important thing for the Warriors this offseason is to renew Klay. The contract between Klay and the Warriors is simple. Klay must be renewing his contract with a maximum salary, and the Warriors are also willing to renew Klay with a maximum salary.

In the end, the Warriors and Klay officially announced a five-year, $146 million max contract on July 1.

In the entire 11-year rookie class, there are only three players who have extended their contracts with a maximum salary, one is Kyrie Irving of the Nets, and the other two are Klay and Leonard.

Considering the draft picks of the two and Owen's genius status in the American basketball world, Leonard and Klay's wave is definitely quite honorable and proud.

Except for Leonard and Klay, other rookies in the class of 2011, like Kanter and Kemba Walker, are not max salary.

Seriously, from the current point of view, there are only three stars with superstar potential in the entire 11th class, Irving, Leonard and Klay seem to be the only ones.

Klay will not talk about the arrival of the Buddha in the playoffs. Irving has been a popular talent in the American basketball world since he was a child, and Leonard, when he played the Warriors in the playoffs, fell in love with thick eyebrows and killed a series of confrontation. , is also a classic, Leonard is definitely a player with superstar ability.

So, if the Spurs are unwilling to give Leonard a max salary, I am afraid there will be a bunch of teams vying for it. After all, Ron Howard Jr.

And after the Spurs announced their retirement from Duncan and Maizi, the team is ready to build a team with Rogge and Leonard as the core. In the future, this team will also be handed over from Rogge to Leonard. .

Duncan, Roger, Leonard, the characters of the three are almost carved out of the same mold, so many people say that Duncan has been with the Spurs for the past 20 years, Roger has been the Spurs for 20 years now, and Leonard has It's the next two decades for the Spurs.

There is a little bit of the feeling of a Buddha in the past, a Buddha in the present, and a Buddha in the future.

Well, they're all stone Buddhas, there's nothing wrong with them.

With Klay's contract extension, Devin Booker and Norman Powell, two rookies selected by the Warriors this year, also signed a four-year rookie contract with the team.

Meanwhile, two of the Warriors' fringe players, Bazemore and Charles Jenkins, are free to leave the team.

Ibaka, Bazemore, Jenkins leave.

Curry Jr., Devin Booker, Norman Powell.

The Warriors' roster remained at 15.

There will be some subtle changes to the team's structure, though.

Among these fifteen players, Chen Xiao is still the only leader who deserves it.

Jokic, Thick Eyebrows, Bill and Klay are the core players of the team.

Big Lopez, Dragic, Jr. Curry, Gobert, and Livingston will be important rotation players for the team.

The 36-year-old veteran Barnes was relegated to substitute players like Novak, Ding Yanyuhang and Devin Booker.

Rookie Powell became the team's water cooler manager.

In fact, next season, the roles of Novak and Matt Barnes in the team will also undergo some changes.

The two veterans won't have much time next season.

The time between the two may be focused on by the Warriors to cultivate new stars like Ding Yanyuhang, Devin Booker and Powell.

In short, for the Warriors, as long as Chen Xiao and the four cores and the five rotations are present, the Warriors' deconstruction will not change.

The key now is whether any player will choose the same path as Ibaka in these five major rotations of the Warriors.

In fact, Jerry West's concerns are not unreasonable, because Dragic and Livingston did submit a trade application to the team after the free market opened.

This is actually not unexpected by Jerry West, because their contracts expire next season, and both of them want to use their performance and data next season to sign a lucrative contract.

For example, Dragic, he hopes to go to a team that can only play the main force and the core, play good stats, and get a big contract. If he stays with the Warriors as a backup this season, then his next contract is estimated. At most, it is a contract that is better than the full mid-level, which is definitely not Dragic's pursuit.

And Livingston is the same. As a former little magician and genius, he has always been ambitious.

After the Warriors won the championship and are now highly sought after, he hopes to regain his former glory, and he certainly doesn't want to waste a basic salary with the Warriors.

This is normal, so for the pursuit of the two, after listening to Chen Xiao's opinion, Jerry West still follows Ibaka's example.

Which team the two want to go to is up to the two of them to decide.

In the end, Nash Dragic Jr. chose to go back to the Raptors, and the Warriors and the Raptors completed the transaction. The Raptors used the team's backup veteran inside Chuck Hayes and two first-round picks in 2016 and 2018 as chips, from The Raptors traded for Dragic.

After the Raptors acquired Dragic, they immediately announced that they had signed a five-year, 80 million contract with Dragic.

It can be seen that Nash appreciates his apprentice very much. He doesn't need Dragic to perform for a season, and he will directly send him a big contract. Maybe his performance next season will be worth more than this contract, maybe even worse, but this It is the trust in Dragic, and Dragic is still very moved.

By the way, the Raptors acquired Chuck Hayes, the 33-year-old veteran, who is on the verge of retirement, and his contract will expire next year.

As for Livingston, he chose to go to the Suns, who replaced Livingston with the 2016 lottery-protected first-round pick.

So far, the Warriors' five important rotation players are only three of Lopez, Gobert and Curry.

And that also means more opportunities for other Warriors bench players or water cooler manager Powell.

As the defending champion, and the defending champion who won the finals strongly, the Warriors must be very attractive.

Now there is a vacant spot, although no big contract can be given, but it is indeed possible to add a veteran for the championship.

But whether it was Chen Xiao's former teammate Lou Wei or Jordan Hill who was willing to take the initiative to vote, Jerry West refused.

This is not because their strength is not strong enough, but mainly to not destroy the team's chemistry.

Let's just put it this way, there are a lot of young people on the Warriors team, young people really need teachers to take them with them, but, is there a better teacher than Chen Xiao in this world?

Except for Chen Xiao, Novak, Barnes and even Lopez, all of them can be teachers for young people.

The Warriors have no shortage of veterans.

And the 14 players the Warriors now have, basically covering the inside and outside, it seems that there is no shortage of players.

The same can't be said. The Warriors are short of Kobe, Rose, Durant, and Wade. However, you Lou Williams and Jordan Hill don't seem to be enough either.

For the current Warriors, although several important players such as Ibaka, Livingston and Dragic have left.

However, the team's five starting frame has not changed.

And the vacancies left by Dragic and Livingston can be filled by Curry. Chen Xiao is very confident in his apprentice, and Jerry West has no reason not to be confident.

As for the vacancy left by Ibaka, this is really not easy to fill, but Jordan Hill is definitely not the right person. He is also a jumper. One is willing to do dirty work for the team, and the other is always like to be in The offensive end is high and the data is high, the defense of the two is not the same thing at all, and the style of the game is not the same.

At that time, don't get a rat **** that destroys the atmosphere of the team, it will not be worth the loss.

The future of the Warriors is still in the hands of Chen Xiao. After Jerry West asked Chen Xiao for his opinion, he also got Chen Xiao's support.

At this point, the Warriors' framework for next season has basically taken shape.

Chuck Hayes, the mascot, doesn't count.

Next season, the Warriors' lineup will be Chen Xiao, Nongmei, Klay, Bill, Jokic, Lopez, Curry, Gobert, Devin Booker, Ding Yanyuhang, Powell, Matt Barnes, 13 players including Novak.

With 13 players who can fight, this lineup is actually not bad.

Matt Barnes and Novak just don't want to leave Chen Xiao. The current strength of these two veterans is still good, and they are completely enough to be a substitute.

Time has passed in July, and Chen Xiao has already returned to China at this time. At this time, Chen Xiao has already joined the players of the Chinese training team, as well as the outstanding representatives of Chen Xiao's basketball school, in Chen Xiao's training camp, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Practice in full swing.

Since Chen Xiao became the head coach of the Chinese team, every year in the off-season, he will return to China to rush back to more than 100 potential young players for training camps to consolidate the foundation of the Chinese men's basketball team.

This year is no exception. Moreover, this year's Chinese men's basketball team also has the goal of the Asian Championships. Of course, the goal of this year's Asian Championships is to win the championship. After all, this year's results determine the qualifications for the Olympic Games.

Although it is to determine the qualifications for the Olympic Games, Chen Xiao still defies all opinions, and there is no sign that any NBA players will participate.

Instead, with a group of youngsters from the Chen Xiao basketball school under the age of 22 and some teenagers from other CBA teams and CUBA teams, they easily defeated the Philippines 100-88 in the final and won the final championship.

This year's Asian Championships in China Star City is from late September to early October. After the Asian Championships, Chen Xiao returned to the United States without stopping.

The Asian Championships ended on October 3, BJ time. When Chen Xiao returned to the United States, it happened to be October 3, American time.

At this time, the training camps of various NBA teams have been open for more than half a month, and even the preseason of the new season is about to start.

The 2015-2016 NBA season also kicked off, and Chen Xiao and the Warriors' championship defense also kicked off.
