Chapter 450 2014 NBA Draft(1/2)
"Nicola Jokic."
Lin Ying gave the answer directly...
It was just that the answer he gave that made Walkendean repeat the name and then look at him with a puzzled look.
Obviously, he was not familiar with Jokic and might not even pay attention to it.
This is also understandable that Jokic was selected by the Nuggets in the middle of the second round in history.
At low-level Taobao, what is more important than talent show vision is poor information.
“He has attended my personal training camp.”
Lin Ying gave an explanation.
"What are his characteristics?"
Walkendean asked very seriously.
This name sounds like it is from the original Yugoslavia area, where basketball talents often appear, so it is normal for him not to know.
Of course, what is more important is that this is not a Chinese, and Lin Ying has no selfish intentions.
"He is about 2.13 meters tall, he is slow and fat, like a piece of pork belly."
Lin Ying's first sentence caused Walkendean to frown slightly.
If it is live streaming, Lin Ying's reverse sales are similar to "Black Garlic Sister".
However, he still signaled Lin Ying to continue.
Unless Lin Ying is joking with him, this is definitely not all Lin Ying wants to say.
Sure enough, Lin Ying then spoke:
"In addition to these shortcomings, he has the potential to develop into a top-level position in other aspects. He can play singles at low posts, organize offenses, and have the potential to develop outside three-pointers. Of course, the most important thing is that he has a historically-level ball maker, comparable to Larry Bird."
"You're not exaggerating?"
The contrast between Lin Ying's previous and next paragraphs is too strong, and the impact on Walkendean is too strong.
However, this is exactly why Lin Ying said this, which makes people interested in an unknown player.
"No, his football maker can even make up for many of his disadvantages, such as the defensive end. He can do a good job in assisting and remediating defense through reading and prediction."
Walkendean listened very seriously.
Lin Ying really made him interested in this "pork belly" player.
"Fatty people are potential stocks, and he can adapt to the NBA by just losing weight."
Lin Ying finally added.
"I will arrange for someone to observe."
Walkendean nodded.
Lin Ying's attitude gave him a basic conclusion.
If Jokic is excellent enough, the team will take it in the first round. If it is average, he will win it if there is a chance in the second round.
...
The Nets' championship parade ended, and the curtain fell for the 2013-2014 season.
However, before the long and early days, the upcoming draft and free market are still particularly eye-catching.
Because of Wiggins and Embiid, this year's draft is a standard New Year.
Unfortunately, just before the draft was about to begin, Embiid suffered a stress fracture in his right foot, which made him lose the suspense of the No. 1 pick between him and Wiggins.
This year's draw meeting ended before, and the Nuggets won the No. 1 pick.
Unless the Nuggets management likes centers as the Rockets before, even if they are injured, it will be almost eight out of ten things that Wiggins will become the No. 1 pick.
This year's draft will still be held at the Barclays Center as in the past.
Because Lin Ying gave advice this year, she paid more attention to this talent show than before.
The Nets have three signings this year.
One is his 29th pick, the other is his No. 33 draw from the Magic, and the other is his No. 59 draw in the second round.
With three signing positions and some chips in your hand, the operation space is still quite large.
On the day of the draft, Lin Ying and Butler went to the VIP box at Barclays Center.
Butler will not officially become an unrestricted free agent until the free market is opened. He is still a member of the Nets.
"Is the Jokic you mentioned really that magical?"
On the way back, Lin Ying also told Butler about Jokic, butler couldn't help but be curious.
Because he glanced at the little green house, there were no pork belly players.
"He has a very high ball quotient."
Lin Ying still said the same thing.
Because of his time travel, his football dealers for Bird are limited to those exciting highlights.
But in fact, if you only look at the highlights, JR is Jordan.
But Jokic said that he had really seen playing basketball, and it took a long time.
"How about comparing with you?"
Butler is more direct than Walken Dean.
"Higher than me."
Lin Ying gave a sure answer.
Butler stopped talking now.
Because he knew that Lin Ying didn't need to belittle him and praise him for a rookie.
This shows that the one named Jokic is indeed very good.
The draft began soon.
Tatum came to the front stage. This was his first time as the new league president, he was on a large-scale road.
He was greeted by the conventional boo.
This has nothing to do with whether it is Stern or not, but a sense of ceremony at the draft.
Tatum still feels gentle, and he waited until the boo fell and announced the start of the draft.
The Nuggets are the team that holds the No. 1 pick.
They also made up for the regret of not being able to draw the No. 1 pick in 2003.
The draft result was released five minutes later. No surprises were unexpected, Wiggins was selected in the first pick.
Wiggins was excited and nervous when he was selected.
Because of Noel's relationship last year, he was not sure that he was stable.
The Nuggets, especially, did not give him a positive answer.
Looking at Wiggins who was jogging on stage, Lin Ying became more curious.
I don’t know if I will pick up the thermos after going to Wiggins in Denver.
Moreover, in his previous life, he saw many people assuming that "Will Wiggins play better if he was not in a tomb rookie like the Timberwolves?" should have an answer.
The following several rankings are very close to history.
The Bucks took Jabbarri Parker away at the second pick.
Like the Rockets, the 76ers chose to gamble and took out Embiid, who confirmed the season's reimbursement.
Lin Ying was waiting and soon arrived at the Nets' first round pick.
The Nets' choice is still very eye-catching.
As the only team to defend their title in the past decade, they are also the only team that is likely to be a dynasty.
And it was the home court of the draft, and there were many Nets fans coming to the scene.
"The 29th pick in the first round of the NBA in 2014, the Brooklyn Nets chose... Nikola Jokic, the center of 2.13 meters from Serbia."
"pretty!"
When Lin Ying heard this choice, she couldn't help but pat her thighs.
It seems Walkendean has listened to his advice.
Although this is explainable.
Walkendean has asked him about his opinions on draft issues in the past, and Covington and Claude have also shown good abilities.
Lin Ying didn't know that Walkendeen also went to Serbia in person.
To be continued...
