The Pope of Basketball Community - Chapter 890

After the holiday, Yang Rui made a few draft suggestions. The team’s second-round draft picks plus the second-round draft picks that Crabbe exchanged from the Pelicans for the first time were traded, leaving only one first-round pick.

Both Norman Powell and Malcolm Brogdon have great potentials and are worth cultivating. They can only be a marginal man after picking a rookie.

Leaving 30 in the first round, Yang Rui wanted to see if he could pick striker Kyle Kuzma. This is a promising rookie, and the pick is lower. The 27th in the previous life was selected by the Lakers. The rookie season field All scored 16 points. He has a comprehensive offensive means, catching jumpers, emergency stop jumpers, empty cuts, low footsteps, it is difficult to be restricted on the court.

There were some variables in the 2017 draft. At that time, he participated in Yang Rui’s training camp, and the best-performing Malik Newman successfully transformed into a point guard. He gave up his hometown weakman and joined the University of Kentucky. He participated in this draft and was selected by the Timberwolves in 16th place.

The 76ers won another top pick and selected shooting guard Markel Fultz. He has a height of 193CM but a wingspan of 208CM. His athletic ability is amazing, with fast speed, strong bounce, and a genius guard with comprehensive technology.

The Lakers made the list again, and selected “ball brother” Lonzo Ball. In the new season, he will stage how steel is made, challenging the unprecedented total shooting percentage of “100 clubs.”

The Magic selected forward Jason Tatum. The Celtics love this guy, but in this life they didn’t trade Pierce and Garnett with the Nets, nor did they have the right to swap the 2017 first round draft with the Nets.

The Lakers didn’t trade Louis Williams last season and returned to the more recent first-round draft pick. Unfortunately, Kuzma was still “cut off” and the Raptors recruited him.

Clippers manager Nell Orsch sent a text message to Yang Rui to discuss, and chose the outstanding blue-collar center Tony Bradley with an amazing arm span, and then traded it to the Jazz.

After the draft conference, on June 27, the 2017 NBA awards ceremony was held in Manhattan City Park, New York. This was the first time in NBA history that the awards of the regular season were announced in the form of an award ceremony.

Adam Silva thought he would be a show hype, but the fans didn’t buy it because the awards came too late and the champions were decided for half a month. With the big news of Yang Rui’s retirement, who still cares about the regular season two and a half months ago?

The announcement of the awards so late has caused people to suspect that there will be unspeakable dark-box operations inside, which has caused many controversies.

The best defensive lineup, Kawhi Leonard, Drummond Green and Rudy Gobert are not controversial. The Rockets’ Beverly and Mavericks Paul’s two point guards were selected to defend together for a while, and fans felt too bullish.

After the Rockets joined D’Antoni, the team won by attacking, and the Mavericks Paul missed 20 games in the regular season.

The Clippers’ “Alphabet Brothers” Yannis Adetokounmpo and Danny Green were selected for the defensive second team, and the other three were Tony Allen, Anthony Davis and Andre Robertson.

Judging from the defensive data, James is not wrong this time. After changing teams, his defensive enthusiasm in the regular season has been insufficient.

The best defensive player was won by Draymond Green. For the second time in his career, he is the defensive core of the Clippers and is extremely versatile.

The best rookie was won by the Lakers’ Joel Embiid. He played barely to meet the selection criteria. 2016 is the worst draft in nearly 30 years. There is no rookie field except for Embiid this season. Both scored in double figures. Embiid is not a 16-year rookie, but has spent two years playing in the NBA.

The best coach award was won by the Raptors Dwyane Casey, and the upset won the second record in the east.

The best sixth man was Rocket guard Eric Gordon, who scored more than Lavin, averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game.

The fastest-growing player is Adetokumbo, who was selected to the All-Star this year.

The regular season MVP was finally awarded to Kevin Durant. The controversy is very big, because Durant just joined the Wizards. This team was the first in the East last year, and the record has not improved much. Durant picked up a big leak, the league can no longer give the award to Curry, and give others more controversy than Durant.

Silva also deliberately made some tasteless new awards to the players to show encouragement.

The best teammate of the year award Dirk Nowitzki on the grounds that he is old and strong, the locker room leader and so on.

Bill Russell won the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Draymond and Curry won the best assist award in a collaboration; Oladipo won the best dunk award of the year; Leonard won the best blocking award of the year.

There is also an annual “Seg Strong Award”, the winner is Spurs vice president Monty Williams.

Silva said that in order to commemorate the famous basketball reporter Craig Seg who passed away last year, to commemorate his merits in basketball and his bravery in the final fight against leukemia, the NBA decided to open the “Seg Strong Award” for the first time this year. , To commend the pioneers in the alliance who are full of courage, faith, and compassion.

The reason why Monty Williams won the award was that his wife was killed in a car accident. Afterwards, he resigned as an assistant to the Thunder. His speech was very touching and he forgave the accident with great compassion. By.

After watching the awards ceremony, Yang Rui did not plan to return to coaching in the future. The NBA is now beginning to develop in the direction of “China’s good cry”, and he almost sang and turned his mentor. It’s a matter of time before the NBA becomes as fake as WEE, it’s boring.

In July, the NBA free market opened and signing conditions were even crazier than last year.

The Raptors renewed Otto Porter for 106 million in four years, which is more expensive than the letter contract renewal of the brother. He is just a role player.

The Raptors renewed their core point guard Kyle Lowry for $100 million in three years, which is even more terrifying.

Even point guard Zhu Holliday, who has a hidden injury, has signed a five-year 126 million renewal contract with the Pelicans.

Ordinary stars are so expensive, the price of top stars can be imagined.

The Rockets and James Harden renewed a four-year contract in advance. Last summer, the Rockets re-signed Harden with a four-year $118 million contract. In the next two seasons, Harden’s salary is respectively 28.30 million US dollars and 30.42 million US dollars, six-year total contract 226 million.

With the rise of the salary cap, Kang Li’s “first contract” was already very common. It is no wonder that Kang Li, who took the largest contract in history at that time, said that there was no pressure, and he used to get used to it after two years.

Under such conditions, Yang Rui decisively asked manager Orch to give up trading Zac LaVine and use him for another season. Next year, he let it go freely. LaVine’s contract is too low next season, and the level of play is 2,000. For more than 10,000 yuan, you can earn it if you stay for another year. In exchange for young players who are not played, the Clippers are not easy to train.

Nothing needs to be adjusted for the Clippers lineup. Most of the players have contracts. Only David Lee took the ring and announced his retirement. The Clippers signed power forward Jeff Green for $2.3 million a year instead.

Green averaged 9.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in the Magic last season. He shot less than 40% from the field. He scored mainly on jump shots, only 31 years old this year, athletic ability is good, can play a role.

The Clippers have three Greens and will test the performance of Chinese commentators next season.

If you play small ball tactics, maybe Chinese fans will hear multiple shadow split-style explanations: “Green grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and passed Green back to counterattack. He quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed Green to a follow-up with a dunk score. !”

Next season, the depth of the Clippers’ lineup is still the strongest in the league.
