, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The Basketball Crazy Genius on the Left!
On June 18, the last negotiation between labor and capital before July 1 broke down without any suspense.
Oh, and the last time might not be quite accurate, although every negotiation since June has been called the last by both sides, but they decided to do it again after this one.
So this time became the penultimate time again, and the two sides decided to hold the real "ultimate negotiation" on June 30!
Unsurprisingly, this message dominated the headlines of the basketball board, and fans were pessimistic about whether the new season could start normally.
Under such circumstances, the news of a rookie signing with Zuo Li's agency was of course lost. At this moment, no one would care about the news of a rookie, even if the signing company was the same as Zuo Li.
Therefore, Klay Thompson became a member of ZL-TEAM in a low-key manner, and became teammates in the same company with Zuo Li, Curry, Cousins, Paojiao and others.
Although I'm sorry for AT, Thompson happily accepted the 5-year 25 million sneaker contract offered by AND. In the new season, he will wear the Zuo Li generation to make his debut. Like Curry and others, AND1 also signed a two-way sneaker contract with Thompson. In the future, as long as Thompson wins the championship or MVP, he will have his own signature sneakers.
For example, Curry, his signature shoes are already in full swing. If all goes well, the Curry generation equipped with brand-new technology will meet the fans in the new season.
Thompson was very happy. He felt that his opportunity had come, and at the same time, he was very moved by Zuo Li's fancy. For so many years, only Zuo Li told him that he would definitely become a superstar. Most others told him that he could rely on shooting It is also the reason why he finally decided to join Zuo Li in the NBA.
However, excited, he did not rush to advertise, because he knew that before his draft, everything had not yet been decided. Even though Zuo Li had revealed to him that the Knicks were willing to recruit him, he still had doubts. The Knicks don't have a high draft pick.
On June 24th, Klay Thompson’s family came to New Jersey. He was full of ambitions in a bright suit, with a hint of shyness in his excitement. He sat at the table and forced himself to calm down. In half an hour, the draft will begin. Where are you going...
Knicks? warrior? Wizards?
Thompson didn't know, of course he was partial to the Knicks, but he didn't know if it would work or not.
But Thompson is not alone. Here, there are not a few players who have a similar mood to him, and only players like Irving can relax.
Of course, they also got the most shots. Several commentators on Irving and TNT were not stingy with their compliments. O'Neal described him as a rare and excellent guard.
What?
Why do you say there is O'Neill...
Of course, TNT has already communicated with O'Pang at this time. We only need to wait for O'Neill to make a final decision. Now we need to adapt first and see the effect by the way. It will be over in a while.
Of course, the camera will not only focus on focus rookies such as Irving, Tristan Thompson, and Kanter, Klay Thompson also gave the camera.
His evaluation is very simple: a good pitcher.
Yes, no one cares about Clay now, overseas fans don't even know him, but it's only temporary, after an hour, Clay Thompson's name will be remembered by many people.
Before the start of the draft, the general managers of each team were in place one after another. The general manager of the Cavaliers sitting at the top of the list, the Cavaliers, who lost 26 games in a row last season, held the No. 1 and No. 4 picks, and they were the most eye-catching people at this time. , followed by the Timberwolves with the second pick and the Jazz with the third pick.
As for the general managers of the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Knicks and other teams, there are not many shots, because here, they are just supporting roles.
Especially the Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh, who sat in the corner with a relaxed expression, as if the draft had nothing to do with him.
This time Zuo Li did not appear on the scene. Although the league still invited him, Zuo Li refused. Since the championship celebration, Zuo Li has not appeared in the public eye again, and he is very low-key.
Without Zuo Li, and without a high pick, Downey looks like an outsider now.
The fact is also true. After all, the Knicks ranked first in the regular season last season. They still had the No. 17 pick in history, but now they only have No. 29. This is all luck. The draft has really little to do with them. .
[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app, and install the latest version. 】
Of course, if they know that Jimmy Butler is the 30th pick this year, they probably won't think so.
However, although Butler is good, he is not suitable for the Knicks. After all, although JB is tough enough, he still needs to hold the ball. The Knicks already have two ball-holding points, one inside and one outside, and they don’t need Jimmy’s help, so Zuo Li started. I didn't have Butler's idea.
However, the 29th pick is definitely not enough to win Kelai Thompson, so the trade has become inevitable. This week, Downey has done enough homework, and now he is waiting for the Knicks' only goal this time!
At eight o'clock in the evening, David Stern walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, which also announced the official start of the 2011 draft.
"The first one is from the Cleveland Cavaliers. They chose Kyrie Irving, who is a point guard from Duke University!"
There is no suspense, Irving became the No. 1 pick in the 2011 class, which is also the second No. 1 pick won by the Cavaliers in ten years. The last champion brought the Cavaliers a seven-year revival, what about this champion?
Cleveland is full of expectations.
Zuo Li: Let’s look forward to Owen’s unraveling of the origin of human beings... don’t even think about other things... you have to be the first champion.
But at this time Owen must be very arrogant. Facing the microphone, he also directly said that he wanted to change the alliance, and he also sent a gauntlet to Zuo Li by the way.
Zuo Li watched the TV and directly ignored his words, since he came in anyway, there was always time to deal with him.
In second place, the Timberwolves chose Derek Williams. I have to say that the Timberwolves also have a touching vision. After so many years, only Love can be selected. The second place will not be found for a long time.
Then the third, fourth, and tenth places were no different from the left memory, and then, when it was the Warriors' turn, they held the No. 11 pick.
The fans were excitedly discussing who the Warriors would pick, and then they saw David Stern take out a note that he just handed over...
"I go!"
"It's coming, it's coming, the variable is coming!"
The knowledgeable fans straightened up immediately, UU Reading Generally, this kind of time is when there is a transaction.
Sure enough, David Stern then said: "No. 11 pick... New York Knicks selected, Klay Thompson! From Washington State University!"
"Wow~!
! "
There was an uproar in the audience, and the camera was aimed directly at Donny Walsh, who was still looking calm.
No one expected that the protagonist of this transaction would be the defending champion New York Knicks!
And then, the content of the transaction was also exposed. New York exchanged the No. 11 pick plus some cash for the team's starting No. 2 Belinelli!
"Wow...the New York Knicks are really beyond people's imagination..."
