Chapter 558

The next day in the conference room of NBA headquarters.

Richard and Jordan submitted the draft list to NBA headquarters.

There are only 14 players in the list, less than half of them are selected by Richard personally, and the strength of the remaining players can't be seen at all.

Basically, it's all slag in the slag. It's not good enough.

Stern looked at the list and immediately called on Xiao Hua to inform the teams that had been selected.

After all teams got the news, some were disappointed, some were thankful and some were expected.

Anyway, the expansion draft is over. They can sleep well next.

After leaving NBA headquarters, Richard and Jordan found a place to eat.

"Li, did the other party give a reply to the matter mentioned before about the top spot of the trading clipper or the magic champion?" Jordan couldn't help asking about work that wasn't under his control.

Richard shook his head. He had said to Jordan before that he might take the number four in his hand to sign the No. 1 or No. 2 in the trade.

As a result, magic is reluctant to trade. In fact, it may be that the pirates have no chips for them.

The pirates had only one fourth in the first round and one fourth in the second round before they got the first 29 pick from pistons.

This is all the chips of the pirate team, the real poor jingle.

The magic side naturally refused, and they also expected to reproduce O'Neill's miracle, using this number one pick to select a big inside hand of cambio O'Neill.

Magic has an inexplicable desire for inside players

Maybe even they will take this champion as the core of the team and start the formal reconstruction of the team, as in normal history.

That's to trade McGrady.

Richard himself didn't have too much hope for magic's top scorer. The real hope is the clipper under the guidance of Stevens.

But what made Richard helpless was that little Stevens said he wanted to think about it. In fact, it was almost a euphemistic rejection of little Stevens.

In history, old Dunleavy coached the clippers, and then made a deal with the Bobcats. That's because old Dunleavy's coaching style doesn't need too many inside players. It's enough to have a brand.

But little Stevens was not the same. He was influenced by Richard. Over the years, Richard's team building thought, which he regarded as the truth of God.

At present, there is a chance to choose a strong interior to match brand, how could he miss it!

Both Howard and okafu are center players. Brandt plays No. 4. This kind of interior combination is quite luxurious. In the eyes of little Stevens, it can definitely make the clipper's strength make great progress.

Even this year it could be in the Western playoffs.

Richard can guess Stevens's idea, so it's impossible to force others.

Sign No. 4, sign No. 4. It's a good choice to win igodara.

There are Milicic and monen in the inner line. They can make do with it first, wait for the draft or trade later, and then gradually enrich the inner line strength.

……

"There's no need to think about it. Neither team is willing to exchange. It's not necessary to exchange for the Scout. After all, we are looking at Howard and okafu." Said Richard, shaking his head.

Jordan nodded. Since the top two teams are not willing to trade, there is no need to think about it.

The two stayed in New York for two days. On the 25th, they showed up at the draft convention.

Richard and Jordan are definitely super heavyweights in the whole NBA history. I'm afraid there is no such combination in this circle.

Jordan is recognized as the first player in the history of the league, and there is a god like presence in the players.

Richard is not as young as Jackson in terms of honor, but he is so young. In everyone's opinion, he will become a god like Jordan in the coaching community in the future.

The two great gods appeared together and immediately aroused a burst of cheers at the scene.

Richard and Jordan nodded and said hello one by one. Now they are the boss, but they can't be confused by their own temperament as before

Among the greetings, stern began to appear on the stage, announcing the official start of the draft convention.

"I announced that Orlando Magic chose Dwight Howard of Christian High School in southwest Atlanta in the first round."

There was no surprise from the stage. Howard, a high school student, was the number one hot. Anyway, either he won the number one or okafu won the number one.

Because of the injuries occafu suffered before, magic dare not take the risk to choose occafu, which is quite normal.

Richard sat down and looked at Howard with a green face. He couldn't help being happy.

Who could have thought that this simple and honest kid would become so strong in taste in the future generations, and both men and women would eat it all.Next came the Clippers' top pick, which, unsurprisingly, was University of Connecticut's o'cafu.

Little Stevens had a satisfied smile on his face. He preferred okafu to Howard

Now that he's got okafu, he's relieved.

Then it was the Chicago Bulls' Scout. Bill was fired and Scott skeles took over.

Just as in normal history, they chose okafu's teammates, also Ben Gordon from the University of Connecticut.

Although Ben Gordon has not been selected as an all star in his career, the bull's choice can not be said to be a hole in fact. Ben Gordon's strength is quite good.

It's a very reliable three-point ball with sufficient offensive firepower. It's easy to get 20 + field average points in peak period.

It's just defensive handicap, which is probably the biggest reason why he hasn't been selected as an all star.

In fact, it's a good thing that Tanhua sign has chosen such a player. There are countless players worse than this one.

Next came the fourth sign of the new army pirate team. Everyone in the field was cocking their ears to hear who Richard had chosen this time.

Although the results were not made public, almost everyone was sure that Richard would target the inside players again.

It's no secret that Richard always likes to build the team with inside players. Everyone on the scene knows this very well.

In this year's draft, according to the media reports and the information from the Scouts of all teams, only Howard and okafu are the strong inside talent. I don't know if Richard will surprise everyone in the future.

"I announced that the Charlotte pirates chose Andre igodara from the University of Arizona by the fourth in the first round!" After stern announced the news, the whole person was shocked.

Richard didn't pick the inside line? Did he take the wrong medicine?

Don't you really want to use Milicic and inexplicable as the starting line?

Think of here, stern can't help but be happy, Richard will be cold

Maybe at the next draft conference, I will announce that the pirate team will choose a new player with the number one pick.

The crowd was shocked for a moment. Richard chose a small forward

So it seems that only Howard and o'cafu can rely on the inside line.

If there is any other strong inside line, Richard can't not choose!

for a while, some teams are ready to pick up the inside line, but some are disappointed

……

In fact, in Richard's view, Al Jefferson is also a pretty good interior. After all, the peak is 20 + 10, which is similar to Zach Randolph in terms of style.

They are all black and thick.

The draft sequence is similar, both in the middle of the first round.

In fact, the price performance ratio is quite good.

But compared with igodara, that must mean something.

……

Soon, the first round draft is almost over, and in a blink of an eye, it's the 29th place in the first round.

"I announced that the Charlotte pirates chose Anderson valerico from San Theresa, Brazil, in the 29th place in the first round."

Finally, I chose an internal line. That's right. That's Richard's style.

Richard is quite satisfied with the draft right that piston has sent to Brazil's valegio.

Valerio has been selected as the best defensive second team, the defensive end needless to say, extremely good at making offensive fouls.

Although the offensive ability is a little quick, and there is not a bit of low-level ability, but the attitude is good, willing to temper their own distance technology.

Of course, Richard's emphasis is not on Valerie Joe's offensive ability, but his defense and rebounding ability.

……

"I announced that Charlotte pirates chose Trevor Ariza from UCLA in fourth place in the second round."

Richard signed Ariza produced by UCLA with the fourth round.

Since then, the work of the new pirate team in this draft conference has been completely over.

Richard got the three players he wanted, and the results were good.

Jordan was excited at the end of the draft convention.

The new army pirate team, even if it is a real start, can he and Richard build the pirate team into a dynasty team as they planned in the next few years?!

"Li, our time has come!" Jordan said with an excited fist.

Richard burst out laughing. He didn't expect Jordan to say such a sarcastic thing.

……

When they returned to Charlotte, they immediately went to work.

Richard sorted out the team's list first.Cut out the cannon fodder players selected by Jordan. At present, there are less than ten players available for pirates.

Inside position, Milicic, monen and Valerio.

Among them, Bobby Simmons can be a guest power forward, but his height is less than two meters, playing power forward must be a loss.

Forward and defensive positions, igodara, Ariza, Capono, Alvin Williams, James Jones and Pippen.

Apart from that, there is no

Richard sighed, the team seems to have no point guard who can get a shot, which is quite uncomfortable.

The solution is not without it. Jones and Alvin can both play in the role of the down guard, but surely they can't expect any good results.

"Ah, I can only slowly come. What kind of bike do you want for the poor new army?" Said Richard with a wry smile.

……

It's really too difficult for such a team to make a starting list satisfactory to Richard.

But there's no way. Richard still has to work on the starting list.

The starting center must be Milicic, which is Richard's plan.

The power forward position is mo Ning, but it also scores.

Richard has the coaching skill "group therapy". Before the start of the season, we can use it to see if it can work on monen.

If it works, then monen will play the starting power forward

If it doesn't work, Richard estimates that he won't waste too many props on Monin. He is likely to let Valerio play the starting center, Milicic play the starting power forward and Monin play the substitute.

The starting player for the small forward position is igodara.

Say it's small forward, but now the position of small forward and point guard is quite vague, anyway igodara and Ariza will occupy the two starting positions.

The starting point guard is the biggest headache for Richard. At present, Alvin or Jones can only make do with it first to see if they can find a trade opportunity after the start of the new season and get a reliable point guard from other teams.

……

"This lineup is really poor, although the starting lineup looks good, but the backup lineup is absolutely impossible to see." Said Richard with a sigh.

Even if it's a good starting line-up, Richard doesn't expect this line-up to produce any good results

……

Just a few days after the draft conference, the whole NBA is a mess, all kinds of hot news.

It's been reported that O'Neal and the Lakers are having a fight. The heat are negotiating with the Lakers about a deal for O'Neal.

Now the Lakers are definitely worse, Malone retired, Payton ready to leave, now O'Neal is about to be traded.

The luxury F4 lineup, like the past, said to be scattered.

Hearing the news, Richard immediately came to his senses.

Peyton is going to leave, which makes Richard's mouth shut. At present, the pirate team just lacks the control guard. If Peyton can be obtained, it's a good thing to add pie.

But Richard is also a drummer in his heart. Peyton must be thinking of winning the championship in the last fight. Will he promise to be poor and have no chance to see the pirate team who hopes to win the championship?

It seems that the possibility is not great

Even so, Richard didn't give up the idea and called Peyton.

When he was in the piston, Richard recruited Peyton. Naturally, he had Peyton's phone number on hand.

To Richard's delight, Peyton didn't directly refuse himself, but gave a reply to be considered for several days.

If you don't refuse it directly, it means there is still a play.
