After receiving a call from the Bulls, Old Nelson laughed loudly. Thibodeau over there suppressed his anger and resentment and laughed, saying, "Old Tang, do a favor. The rookie you just chose has a connection with me. How about the deal for me? I will definitely remember this favor. Otherwise, see if you have any candidates you want, and I will choose it for you."

Old Nelson's goal is actually not the Bulls, but the Grizzlies, which also needs a power forward. This team has a draft pick in the second pick. At first, the Warriors analyzed that Gibson would eventually be selected by the Grizzlies, so they intercepted the betray in advance to see if they could get a person from the Grizzlies - Rudy Gay

Although Rudy Guy is considered to be the leader of the Grizzlies, everyone knows that he is not a non-selling product for the Grizzlies. He has restrained temperament and tough style of play. Old Nelson has coveted his old man for several seasons. The Warriors' small forward position has always been their weakness. Although there are Jackson and Barnes, both of them have technical flaws.

Now the league has entered the era of small forwards. James, Anthony, Durant, and Pierce are too strong in combat. The Warriors need to strengthen this position. Rudy Guy is the best choice.

But since the Bulls came to him, Old Nelson couldn't argue if he didn't tease him. After all, the Timberwolves incident just now really made the old man depressed: "Since you said that, man, then I can trade with you. I want Brad Miller, how about it?"

Miller is a rare white starting center in the league. He has an alternative style of play and comprehensive skills. As a center, his best skill is actually to support him. During the Kings' time, he was called the "highest organizational guard" as the center axis of Princeton's tactical system.

If Thibodeau is really willing to trade, then old Nelson will definitely consider it seriously. Although Miller is old, what he wants is Chamberlain's substitute, who can play for up to seven or eight minutes in a game. Miller is actually absolutely qualified as a substitute. He mainly plays at high positions, has a very strong shooting level, and is quite accurate in both mid-range shots and three-point long shots. In this regard, he is much better than Ibaka now, and can force the opponent's center forward to follow the defense and pull the penalty area away.

In addition, Miller is an ideal center for breaking through any method of regional joint defense. Now the general way for the league to deal with the Warriors is to double-team Chamberlain in regional joint defense. With Miller, this can be eliminated.

Also, Miller has a good defensive ability. His tough defense was the foundation of his first career at the beginning of the league. He was keen on physical confrontation and defensive small moves. Although he was trapped by injuries and age, and his physical fitness was not as good as a black man, Miller's defense is now a bit of a colander. This is for him to be present for a long time. If he is physically energetic, he will still be a hero who can fight. After all, he was also the two-time All-Star center.

Speaking of being able to fight and fight, we have to mention Miller's blood and courage. In two years, the Kings fought against the Lakers. Miller had fought against O'Neal. It's hard to say who won and lost in that fight. Anyway, Miller became famous because of this. After all, there are not many people who dare to make ground on the top shark's head.

After hearing the conditions of Old Nelson, Thibodeau resisted the swearing and hung up the phone directly, "Damn it, you're shameless?" What the Bulls lack now is the inside player, why don't you choose Gibson? Although Gibson is good, he is a rookie who has not proved himself yet. Thibodeau dares not gamble.

After that, the Trail Blazers chose Spain's small forward Clavel, the Kings chose Israel's small forward Caspi, and the Thunder chose Ohio State's center Moons. It was the Bulls' turn. Without Gibson, Thibodeau could only endure the depression and activate the backup plan, choosing the power forward Carroll of the University of Missouri.

In the second pick, it was the Warriors' turn to choose again. Old Nelson smiled humbly, Stern spoke again and was almost choked in one breath, and said whimperingly: "The Golden State Warriors chose the power forward of the University of Pittsburgh, the six-foot-seven-inch Dejuan Blair..."

The Timberwolves selected two point guards in a row, and the Warriors selected two power forwards. Stern was both depressed. What are these teams going to do? Are they hoarding talents?

Blair was stunned. His agent told him that he might not have had his first round. If there were no accidents, he would have been selected in the second round. However, the accident happened. This happiness appeared a bit fierce. Not only was he selected in the first round, but he was also selected by the Warriors whom he was most looking forward to.

Don’t underestimate these differences in rankings. There are essential differences in contracts between first-round rookies and second-round rookies: players in the first round have high annual salary. For a guaranteed contract, the annual salary must be within 820 of the annual salary specified by the league according to the ranking. The contract is 22 contracts for 4 years, and the next two years are the team’s option year. Players in the second round can sign non-protected contracts, and the annual salary in the first year is up to 80,000 yuan.

In other words, no matter how the first round rookies play, they can get at least four years of high salary, while the second round rookies can only sign a one-year minimum salary.

And even if you have the ability to be in the second round, you will not be able to make a lot of money within four years, because there is a special rule for the second round players, that is, the Arenas clause, which is the rough idea that the second round rookie, as a restricted free agent, the first year of the invitation contract shall not exceed the middle class clause of the year.

This clause is aimed at the second round pick. Chamberlain played a side ball at that time because he had not passed the draft. Now the league has released the Chamberlain clause. Players who failed to pass the draft are restricted free agents. The first year of the invitation contract shall not exceed the 8th of the middle class clause of the year.

An unexpected joy came, and Blair smiled and grinned behind his head. He was really surprised, surprised and happy. When he rushed to the rostrum, he looked confused and even asked Stern in a low voice: "H6, are you sure you didn't read the wrong name?"

Stern's mouth twitched, what the hell is this? Why are there so many weird things in this year's draft?

It's no wonder that Blair doesn't believe all this, because the Warriors really have no reason to choose him, and it's still in the first round. Blair is too short. As an inside, he is shorter than Jackson and Barnes in the small forward position, and they already have a short inside Evans, so Blair is simply a burden.

In fact, from the perspective of physical fitness and ball quotient, Blair is very good. He has a very long wingspan. Although he is only between 6 feet 6 and 6 feet 7, his wingspan is an amazing 7 feet B. Moreover, he has excellent strength and speed, outstanding vision on the court, has outstanding passing ability, and is extremely energetic on both ends of the offense and defense. He knows how to use positioning and his figure to take rebounds on the heads of a taller and more explosive player than him. He is an excellent rebounder.

In this way, Blair should have no reason to fall into the second round. So why is he not confident that he will be selected in the first round? It is because this heavy insider lacks cruciate ligaments. When he was an expert, his cruciate ligaments were removed due to an injury during his time.

Blair is a tank. His strength lies in his impact force. However, this tank has no brakes and dares not stop once it rushes, and its combat power will naturally decrease sharply.

There are four reasons why Old Nelson chose Blair. The first is that Chamberlain is optimistic about him and thinks he is hard-working, down-to-earth and smart. Cultivating it well will be a good championship puzzle. Second, there is really no better choice among the rest; Third, Old Nelson learned through unique channels that the Spurs planned to choose Blair in the second round, and he intercepted the truth in advance; the fourth and most important point is his physical test results:

He is barefoot with 3 meters tall, 99 meters in shoes, weighs 29l kg, wingspan of 218 meters, standing on the spot with a height of 271 meters, fat rate 2.0, bounce in the spot with a height of 06 meters, running assist with a bounce height of 084 meters, 84 kg bench press 18 times, running back and forth in the penalty area for 16 seconds, and 4 sprints B45 seconds.

This physical test result seems ordinary, so short and so fat. How can such a guy survive in the NHA? But if you tell you that there is a guy in the history of the NHA that the physical test data is exactly the same as Blair, you can understand why Old Nelson is willing to take a gamble: that person, whose name is Charles Barkley

Blair put on the Warriors' hat, and the atmosphere in the Spurs' box was quite cold. Duncan scratched his head and looked at Popovich carefully. The latter had a confident smile on his face, and then the smile slowly disappeared, his face turned pale. Then, the old coach opened his mouth and gritted his teeth and cursed: "Donald Nelson, you beast."

There is nothing to say in the second round. The Warriors used their eighteenth draft pick in the second round to choose a center named Golan Sudon. He was born at Michigan State University. He is a white man and is 2.08 meters tall. He is also a weird guy. As a white man, he has extremely poor shooting ability. Instead, he is extremely tough in fighting for rebounds. Old Nelson doesn't expect him much, just find someone to guard the water dispenser.

Adam Xiaohua finally read out that the Heat's 30th pick was teammate of Ross last year's No. 1 pick, Robert Docher, a small forward at Memphis University. In this way, the draft of this year ended like this.

Chamberlain took West to meet his future new teammate. Gibson, the first selected one, had been waiting for him. Seeing Chamberlain appear, he immediately ran over and shouted excitedly: "Hey, we have become a team. I'm so happy that I actually became a member of you."

Gibson was also following three black youths, probably his friends. Chamberlain and Gibson hugged each other and fucked three black youths. Gibson introduced: "These are my three good brothers. He is called cake because he likes to eat cake. Haha, when I get my salary, I will definitely let him vomit. This is the cookie's head. Look at his head, is it very similar to cookies? Yes, these two guys are foodies, haha, this is Johnny, he is very normal, just as normal as me, he is also my agent, although he has never been to college."

The three black young men laughed, guarding Chamberlain a little restrained, but when several people's eyes met, they could feel the deep friendship.

If you are rich and noble, don’t forget each other. For these black people born in poverty, this is the greatest glory of their human nature.

As the core and boss of the team, Chamberlain directly brought three rookies who had just joined the gang and their friends to Ia6a, one of the most famous bars in New York. This bar is aimed at young men and women with strong consumption power, with strange things like bottles, cans or candlesticks hanging inside. Although it is mainly young men and women, it is not as noisy as ordinary bars, and the famous bar is that it has a rich wine.

Chamberlain held a huge contract and naturally made extraordinary moves. He went into the bar and found a good place. He threw out his credit card directly and shouted: "Guys, tonight is your good day. You can stay away from drunkenness, but it's only for tonight. From tomorrow on, you will have to quit drinking and smoking. Of course, you don't have to quit women, because at that time, you were real professional players."
