Chapter 231 Who supports and who opposes?

After the lottery show was selected, Kong Bu sent a message directly on his mobile phone to Sha Lun.

At the previous talent show, Kong Bu was used to using notes to convey information, but now he felt that it was a bit too ostentatious. It would be better to send text messages on your mobile phone without anyone noticing.

The text message has only one name - Zach Randolph.

Shalun had a question mark on his face. He had tried Randolph before. After all, there were too many draft picks in his hands. Almost every rookie player of this class had been tried by Shalun.

Old Wilkens led the team to play in the playoffs, and he was in the rear to try out the new players.

When he saw Randolph's personal information, he was too lazy to give Randolph a chance to try out, mainly because this short and fat man really had no highlights.

He is 206 cm tall and it is almost impossible to play as a center. Not everyone is a big shot.

If you play the fourth position, this guy's athletic ability is even worse than that of the bus. He lacks mobility and bounces so badly that he bounces, as if he has ten tons of heavy objects tied to his legs.

I only played for one year in college, averaging 10.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, which is completely incomparable to those prodigal sons.

For example, Big Dog Robinson, who averaged 30 points and 10 rebounds at the prestigious Purdue University in college, averaged 30 points and 10 rebounds per game, which made Randolph's data a slap.

The only highlight of Randolph is probably that he came from a prestigious school, and the Michigan State University he worked for is also a top prestigious school.

Is Kong Bu actually interested in such a player who doesn't seem to have any hope?

"I announce that the Toronto Raptors chose Zach Randolph from Michigan State with the 16th pick in the first round!"

Stern read it on the stage, and the audience looked at Kong Bu.

There is no airtight wall in the league, and it is almost everyone who knows that Kongbu and the Raptors are doing trades.

In the eyes of the outside world, this deal is not a loss or a profit for the Raptors. The two non-loto first-round picks were replaced by Ratliff, who had a very good combat power, and they were completely acceptable.

There are two very well-known universities in Michigan in the NCAA, one is the University of Michigan. The well-known Five Michigan Tigers swept across the United States and were so popular that they were scary. Chris Weber and Zhu Wan Howard, among the Five Tigers, also developed well after entering the league.

The other is Michigan State University where Randolph plays. There have been many stars in the team history, most famous of which are Magic Johnson, and Kevin Willis, Steve Smith, etc.

Perhaps no one except Conbu would have thought that Randolph's total career score would surpass Magic Johnson.

After successfully winning Randolph, Conbu breathed a sigh of relief and the problem of No. 4 position in the new season was solved.

The 76ers last season, although there are many power forwards, including Ratliff, Barkley and Oakley, they don’t match Yao Ming very much.

Yao Ming needs a player who can help involve the opponent's inside defense, so that when he faces those double-tower lineups, he does not have to face the opponent's double-team at the basket.

Randolph can do this perfectly, and no team dares to really let Randolph go.

In addition, Randolph is also a qualified meat shield. He has a weight of 120 kilograms before he even enters the league. In the future, Lan Pang will definitely play a role when fighting against Aopang.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that the fatter the inside players, the better. On the premise of being fat, you must maintain physical fitness and athletic ability to gain a foothold in the NBA. The fatness that can be eaten after running two steps will definitely not be able to play in the NBA.

More than twenty minutes later, Conbu handed Popovich another note.

The reason why he didn't choose to send a text message was because Conbu wanted the outside world to see the deal between him and the Spurs.

It is necessary to be defensive. If Bopovich steals a chicken, Kong Bu may suffer a loss. Now everyone in the outside world has seen Kong Bu handing out the notes, and the Spurs have to pay attention to the impact.

Conbu used the No. 20 draw traded from the Spurs to directly accept Gerald Wallace, whom he had been interested in for a long time.

In a sense, Gerald is actually the first version of Kawhi Leonard.

Both of them have explosive physical talents, amazing wingspan, large palms, and sufficient strength. They are born defenders.

Like Leonard, Gerald was also a blue-collar character in the outside defense at the beginning of his career, and later gradually developed his offensive ability.

Unfortunately, the difference between him and Leonard is that he did not meet a good coach and did not receive professional guidance, which led to his offensive ability not being completely released.

Now that it is in Conbu's hands, it is definitely a blessing for Gerald.

After another ten minutes, we reached the 23rd pick in the first round.

The next 23/24 and 25 picks were all selected by Conbu, and he directly selected the sports car Parker, Dalemport and General Arenas one after another.

When the last draft pick in the first round, the 29th pick in the first round brought by the 76ers, Kong Bu took Oku off again.

Originally, Kong Bu planned to let Oku and Yao Ming partner, but these two people could actually have a good chemical reaction.

However, Oku's situation is special. He is not a local American player. It is hard to say whether he can report directly to the team in the new season.

Under normal circumstances, Oku was selected by the Pistons and became a member of the Jazz after the Pistons hit him for two years.

The inside partner formed by Boozer in the Jazz team is quite powerful, and even Yao Ming suffered a lot under their hands.

Yao Ming has never been able to go too far in the playoffs, and most of them have to be thanked by these two brothers.

Yao Ming was defending the front of the defensive end, Boozer was in the back, Oku was in the front, and both of them had long-range shooting range on the offensive end, and Yao Ming had to run out to defend the two, resulting in empty inside.

With Oku's arrival, Conbu's draft journey is almost over.

All six first-round picks won his favorite players, namely Lan Pang, Gerald, Parker, Dalemport, Arenas and Oku.

Since then, the Philadelphia 76ers' lineup has almost surfaced.

Center: Yao Ming, Dalemport

Power forward: Zach Randolph, Memit Oku

Small forward: Kirilenko

Pointsback: Gerald Wallace, Ginobili

Point Guards: Iverson, Arenas and Parker

If you look closely at this lineup, it is actually very unreasonable. The inside line is very harmonious. The four inside lines are all good at playing positions. Dalem Porter trained in the special training field for a period of time and gave Yao Ming a substitute center.

The outside line seems a little heavy and light, and there are too many players stocked up on the number one position.

The most suitable position for Kirilenko is the fourth position, while Gerald is an authentic small forward. Unfortunately, Ginobili is not good at playing at the same time as Iverson under normal circumstances, so he can only move the positions of these two people.

To be honest, Iverson, Arenas and even Parker can't play at the same time as Ginobili. These three people have one thing in common, all of which are wearing the outer skin of the number one position.

Especially Parker, many fans always think he is a point guard. In fact, he has played for the Spurs for a full seventeen years and has always been a point guard in the official position.

Conbu sighed. He had accumulated so many point guards in his hands a few years ago, including McGrady, Carter, Lagabel, Davis, the old cat Mobri, etc. He never expected that he would encounter the dilemma of no point guard available.

Fortunately, there are enough chips in hand now, so Kong Bu can slowly adjust his lineup through trading after the start of the game.

About an hour and a half later, the last rookie was selected and the draft officially ended.

Kongbu also returned to the hotel and had a good rest all night.

The next morning, teams with trades held trade press conferences in New York to officially announce their respective trades.

Conbu first held a press conference with the Spurs, and then had another match with the Raptors.

Although it is not a secret that he made a deal with the Spurs and the Raptors in the league circle, the outside world still knows very little. When he learned that Conbu sold the championship core members Reed and Ratliff so much, it still caused a sensation.

It's okay for Ratliff to say that he is a blue-collar insider after all, with few fans and low popularity.

Reed is very popular in Philadelphia, and many fans cannot accept Reed being traded.

Unfortunately, they have to accept it even if they don’t accept it. Kong Bu never considers the feelings of fans when doing a deal.

After the two trading press conferences, Conbu led Adelman Jr. to lunch and then took a bus to the headquarters of the coach union to prepare for the afternoon meeting.

Compared with the Player Union, the Coaches Union is too shabby, and the headquarters actually has only a few offices.

After arriving at the place, Kongbu was stopped as soon as he stepped into the gate.

"Sir, this is an internal meeting, and idlers are not allowed to enter." A black young man in his twenties said seriously.

He said this not at Conbu, but at the little Adelman behind Conbu.

Kongbu smiled and said, "He came with me."

"It's not okay to come together. If you don't have an invitation, you can't enter." The young man said seriously.

Kong Bu was amused by this guy, "Don't you know me?"

"Know, but rules are rules."

"Rules? Well, you're right. A young man as principled as you are very good. Can you tell me your name?" Kong Bu admired such a principled person very much and asked with a smile.

"Sidney Gentry." said the young man with a straight face.

Conbu was speechless. The surname Gentry was not common, so he only knew Gentry. Alvin Gentry, who is currently coaching the Clippers, could this guy in front of him be his son, right?

"Is your father Alvin?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I'll take back what I said just now. You don't have principles. I think you're trying to find fault on purpose."

"I don't know whose relationship your father asked to bring you in, nor what position you hold in the union. I only know that you will lose this job after today." Kong Bu's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about a trivial thing.

The relationship between him and Gentry was very bad. This kid was obviously looking for trouble. It would be strange if Kong Bu could keep him.

"Don't believe it? You'll believe it in a while."

Seeing the young man's face full of disdain, Kongbu shook his head and smiled.
