The Godfather of Basketball

As the Rockets head coach, Tang Tian naturally went to the draft with Mr. Morey.

In the cabin of the Rockets, five people including Morey, Jones, Tang Tian, ​​Xibodu, and the team's chief scout Smith took a seat.

"This is the profile of Aron Brooks. He is very impactful, his three-pointer is stable, and it meets the team's requirements." Smith said.

Now the outside draft is about to begin, and the discussion in the cabin is at the final stage.

"His height is only 1.83 meters, which will be a problem on the defensive end, and the team has a similar style already with Baria." Xibodu followed.

"Baria is a bit worse off talent after all, Brooks said that his scoring power is very strong, even if he can't become a starting level player, being a sixth man is quite capable." Smith countered.

This scene is very similar to when Tang Tian and Van Gundy argued last year.

Morey heard the opinions from both sides, and finally he looked at Tang Tian.

Tangtian is the head coach. He is the most powerful person in this cabin.

I saw that Morey was looking at himself, and Tang Tian knew that it was time to say his opinion.

"Like Tom said, we already have Barria. It is not necessary to add players with similar styles. It is the inside of the team. Mutombo is one year old. Chuck's height is so high in the playoffs. Proof is also a problem, and we need to add an inside player. "

Tang Tian said this, Smith did not refute, understanding of the team, naturally, Tang Tian knows a little better.

"In the center, Thiago Split and Kailero Fisenko are good choices. They have a size, a height, and a good speed." Smith followed.

Tang Tian nodded, he has the impression that both players are qualified rotation players in the NBA.

"Let's discuss, which of these two players is more suitable." Morey followed.

"I have a personal choice here, I have watched his game video by accident before, and I think he has great training value." Tang Tian said, and sent everyone a copy of the materials he had prepared before.

"Mark Gasol?"

"Paul Gasol's brother?"

"Is this guy always playing in the Europa League?"

Uh ...

Almost everyone raised doubts, including Smith, which is completely unknown to them.

Marc Gasol, All-Star center, Tang Tian could not help but know that Gasol in the previous life was not selected until the 48th overall pick in the second round. Now he wants to be selected in the first round because of the first round. In the round, the team can sign a standard 2 + 1 + 1 contract with him.

"Don, do you know more about this player?" Morey is skeptical. He is a manager who uses data as the core of judgment. He has reservations about this unknown player, if only because he is Paul Gasol. If the younger brother chooses, then he will not agree, knowing that the NBA brothers rarely play.

Tangtian nodded without hesitation.

"If you don't believe it, you can go over his performance in European universities and leagues. It's not urgent now, anyway, we are the 26th pick." Tang Tian saw Morey still doubted, and then said.

Morey nodded, then motioned to Smith to let the people below find other information.

在 At this moment, the broadcast TV screen in the cabin changed, and the president of the league Stern walked out from the background.

The 2007 NBA Draft is finally about to officially begin.

"Good morning, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to fans across the United States, and Canadian fans watching on TNTV and CBCTV. Welcome to the 2007 NBA Draft at Madison Gardens Plaza. Welcome to join us. , And some fans who are coming here, thank you for your grand presence, let's start. "

A very familiar opening remark, Stern has read this opening remark on this stage for 22 consecutive years.

"The 2007 NBA No. 1 pick belongs to the Portland Trail Blazers and they have five minutes to make a decision."

This is not the first time that Tang Tian has experienced the draft, but as a head coach, his thinking has become a little different.

The Trail Blazers have a poor record in recent years and have a large number of forward draft picks. This year, they have directly won the No. 1 pick. If he is in the Trail Blazers, they will definitely win Durant directly. It really is two or three years.

其实 In fact, before the draft, he also allowed Morey to try draft picks that had been traded in the past, but let alone the top five, Lotto had no chance at all.

This year is a big year for the draft. All teams are holding their own picks and are afraid they will be snatched by others.

Five minutes was fast, and the Trail Blazers quickly made a choice. They did not hesitate to choose Greg Oden, a center with a perverted physique, which the media called the Chamberlain and Russell super. Potential newcomer.

选择 This choice was already anticipated by everyone.

"Portlanders are about to rise."

There was also a sound of envy in the Rockets cabin.

Tangtian didn't say anything, Oden had some strength ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ But his knees were too brittle, too many injuries, and his technology was too rough, unless he was under his control.

When he thought of it, his eyes lit up.

Because the system hasn't appeared for a long time, he has forgotten it. If the Oden basic salary is signed in a few years, the system is cured, and then cultivated separately, then it is great.

After Oden, the Sonics also made a choice. They chose Kevin Durant from the University of Texas with excellent physical fitness.

的 The choices that followed were the same as in previous lives.

The Hawks, the third overall pick, chose Al Horford.

The Grizzlies in fourth place chose Mike Conley.

Uh ...

These are all future All-Star players.

Tang Tian found something very interesting at this time.

His arrival, although helping the Rockets to win the championship, had little impact on the league pattern. The Cavaliers were still swept, and the championship was still in the West. Even the regular season rankings, although the record was a bit off, the rankings have not changed This also means that the draft pick has not changed.

This is really a coincidence.

"The sixth round of the first round of the 2007 NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks chose the power forward at 2.13, Yi Jianlian, from China."

在 At this moment, Tang Tian heard a familiar name.

Yi Yilian was selected.

Tang Tian looked up at Yi Jianlian who was standing up in the video at this time, his expression was not too excited, and there was a lot of emotion in his heart.

Yi Yilian was the one most regretted by Chinese fans.

I have the rare physical strength among Asians, and is reputed to be comparable to the next Yao Ming's existence. In the previous life, I only disappeared in the NBA for four seasons, which is a pity.
