Chapter 1,136 The Fate of Little Antetokounmpo and the Laughing James!
The Seattle SuperSonics have three draft picks this year. However, after the two first-round picks selected Antetokounmpo and Gobert, the Seattle SuperSonics did not intend to use the second-round pick for themselves, but instead used it for two hundred Sold to the New York Knicks for $10,000.
After the 2013 draft ended, news about this draft has been overwhelming on the Internet across the United States.
This draft, in terms of the quality of the rookies, is certainly pretty bad.
The worst draft in history, is this a joke?
No joke of course.
Oladipo before the draft was a player with Danny Green's ceiling.
Although Magic played hard, ESEPN's data made him look even better than Jordan.
But if it were really Jordan, who else was stupid or something, would these few evil-minded ghosts be the only ones here to brag about it?
These days, no matter the bad teams or fans, few are fools.
Of course, from another perspective, if this rookie class really has talented rookies like the previous ones, thick eyebrows, Tony Roten, Irving, Bradley, and fake geniuses like Oladipo who are praised There is no soil for survival at all. Everyone's attention is on these real 'Monkey Kings', and these fake Monkey Kings naturally have no soil for survival.
Therefore, in the eyes of many fans who have studied the draft deeply, there may only be five or six rookies in this class who could have entered the first round in previous seasons, and the rest are just make-up.
The Seattle SuperSonics just chose a 'fake monkey king' who could make up the numbers.
In the eyes of those draft experts, Oladipo, the pre-draft favorite, is a beggar version of Danny Green.
The younger brother of Antetokounmpo, who is second in the list, is considered to be a beggar version of Ibaka.
Well, because of his quirk, Yes perfectly missed those "real Monkey Kings" with real potential and chose a fake one.
There are only a few players in this draft class who look like stars, such as Magic, Antetokounmpo, and Bennett. No matter how highly praised the others are by a group of draft wizards, they all have their own fatal problems, and even It's a matter of not being able to survive in the NBA.
The Spurs selected Bennett with the No. 1 pick. Although this was an unpopular choice, at least it was a slightly unpopular choice among several useful rookies. At the very least, the lower limit was guaranteed.
The Seattle SuperSonics chose Antetokounmpo's younger brother because of Yes' propensity, which was also an upset, but...
After the 2013 draft, the discussion about Antetokounmpo's younger brother was extremely heated.
It's all about whether he can gain a foothold in the NBA.
Antetokounmpo's younger brother is 2.1 meters tall. This height is not an inside post, but a defender.
At the University of Washington, Antetokounmpo's younger brother is a shooting guard and his older brother is a small forward.
In the NCAA last season, he averaged 6.8 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. From the data, you can see what kind of guard he is. His field goal percentage in the NCAA last season was 41. %, and the three-point shooting percentage is 16.5%.
According to the evaluation of many NCAA experts, there has never been a shooting guard with such a poor scoring ability on an NCAA championship team.
Regardless of his shooting percentage of 41%, excluding three-pointers, it seems to be very high.
It seems like two points are very accurate.
If you break down the scores in each area of his two points.
Antetokounmpo Jr.'s short-range two-point shooting rate is 17.1%, his mid-range two-point shooting rate is 10.5%, and his long-range two-point shooting rate is 22%.
Three-pointers are 16.5%.
This hit rate...
When it comes to shooting, I'm simply blinded!
His 41% shooting rate was all achieved by grabbing secondary rebounds and offensive rebounds under the basket with his 2.1-meter height.
If there are no offensive rebounds, with his height, he wants to play breakthrough layups and dunks in the NCAA, a place where there is no defensive three seconds?
Stop dreaming!
A 2-meter-1 guard who has no shooting ability and only knows how to train his muscles. Isn't this what he has done to himself?
It’s no secret that the Antetokounmpo brothers love to build muscle and love strength training.
He has no shooting ability to begin with, but once his strength increases, he loses even more ability to shoot.
"In the history of American basketball, there has never been a player who started practicing strength training crazily when he was 15 years old. At this age, it is the time to polish his skills and release his talents, but Ade The Tokunbo brothers started their muscle training too early, which is why their shooting is difficult to improve and their technical movements are extremely stiff."
"I believe they were at Garfield High School and at the University of Washington. Someone must have told them not to do this, but they are still addicted to strength training. This is their own problem. They have destroyed themselves!"
After the draft ended, many fans on the Internet looked up the previous news.
After the University of Washington won the championship again this year, these negative news about them were basically covered up.
And now, after the draft, these news have come out one by one.
Looking at these news, many Sonics fans and coconut fans feel really chilled in their hearts.
In the NCAA, if you play as a guard and you don't have to shoot, there is no problem. You average 2+2 steals and blocks per game. You can be a starter on any NCAA team, and you don't need to attack.
But in the NBA, NBA players are not comparable to NCAA players. You can get 2+2 data against NCAA players, but you cannot have such a big talent advantage against NBA players!
With such a tall height, it would be nice not to be suddenly killed by the opponent's defender. Do you still want 2+2? !
Being too tall in defense is a vulnerability.
On the offensive end, height is an advantage, but he has no shooting ability.
Isn't this just because the talent points for creating humans were added to the wrong place when playing 2K?
If you add 2K wrongly, you can still start over, but this is reality.
Can you stuff Antetokounmpo's brother into his mother's belly and make him do it all over again?
"Such a good hardware talent is really wasted!"
Basically, all the Sonics fans and coconut fans finally despaired amidst the laughter of other fans watching.
Selecting a player who is destined to have no future in the NBA with the second pick is indeed a despairing thing.
However, Antetokounmpo, who is the center of public opinion, is very happy. He usually keeps his face tied up, but now his smile is a little shy.
He loves Seattle.
Back in Greece, the brothers were beaten crazily because they were like Durant and Rondo, and no place accepted them.
In the end, because their experience in Greece was too bad, it went viral on the Internet and became world-famous. Finally, Garfield High School saw it and brought them and Leonard to the United States and to Garfield High School.
It can be said that here is his idol Durant, and this is also the city that saved his life and changed his destiny.
Little Antetokounmpo was very satisfied that he could stay in Seattle. After meeting and encouraging this little guy, Presti and Nelson looked a little solemn.
Too familiar with the Antetokounmpo brothers. After so many years, Presti knows the brothers too well.
If it were his choice, he would definitely not choose it. The words may be ugly, but they are indeed useless.
And Nelson, of course he understands.
"Yes, you should know that next season, it is impossible for me to vigorously train Giannis in the team like Ibaka did."
Old Nelson sighed after finishing speaking.
Yes, of course, knew what Old Nelson meant.
Next season will be Nelson's last season in the league. After Yes came back, Nelson had a frank talk with him.
As his last season in the NBA, a season in which he realizes his dreams, Nelson certainly hopes that the entire team will follow his ideas.
Ye Si also expressed his approval respectfully.
Therefore, the Leafs have no plans to train Antetokounmpo Jr. next season.
As for Nelson and Presti's prejudice against Antetokounmpo Jr., Yes is also understandable.
Because after the Antetokounmpo brothers were beaten from Greece to Seattle, the two brothers became addicted to strength and couldn't extricate themselves.
The two had not received any systematic basketball training in Greece before.
Regarding the sports environment in Europe, like Nowitzki, they used to practice football. In 2008, they switched to basketball and were cheated by Rondo and Durant.
It was precisely this kind of encounter that made the two brothers extremely obsessed with power.
Strength can bring them a sense of security.
No matter how hard these guys remind them, starting strength training too early is bad for shooting.
But these two brothers are like obsessive-compulsive disorder. If they don't practice strength for several hours every day, show their two rows of white teeth, laugh once, and shout: This is basketball, this is youth, they feel uncomfortable all over.
Since this is the choice of two people, there is no other way.
However, compared to the sighs and pessimism of others, Yes has never been very pessimistic about Antetokounmpo Jr.'s training methods.
Leafs doesn't know whether Antetokounmpo will be successful in the NBA in the future.
But Antetokounmpo Jr. should be able to.
Especially after Old Nelson came back and confessed to him that he would realize his dream and play his five-small tactics next season.
Ye Si felt that this might be Antetokounmpo's opportunity.
Antetokounmpo Jr. is now embarrassing himself.
Playing outside, there is no shooting at all.
When you play inside, you also don’t have skills such as hooks, footwork, etc. except for dunks. Although the muscles of your body play a slightly greater role in the inside than on the outside, if you, a defender who has been playing point guard since the beginning, throw you inside, you Can it really succeed? At least Nelson didn't think so.
If Antetokounmpo Jr. can successfully play inside in situations like this, then isn’t everyone able to play inside in the NBA?
Basketball has technical and basketball intelligence thresholds.
If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.
Of course Ye Si is also aware of this.
but……
"Coach, although I don't know much about your five-small tactical system, but from what I understand about the five-small tactical system of the University of Washington, if you play the role of an inside post in the five-small team, you cannot be a true inside post, but you can't be a real inside post. It can’t be just an outside line. At the very least, in my opinion, there should be no one in the entire Seattle SuperSonics except me who meets the coach’s requirements, right?”
"Giannis' current position is indeed awkward, both inside and outside, but from another perspective, he has the height and strength inside, as well as very good ball-handling ability and outside athletic ability, and Good passing vision, although it is still difficult to say whether he can adapt to the NBA, but in terms of hardware, he does meet the requirements. After all, we cannot ask for a dream-chasing Green for us to choose from in the draft every year."
After Ye Si finished speaking, Old Nelson was a little surprised.
Although he told Ye Si a lot about the five small teams next season, he never said that the perfect core of the five small teams in his mind is a player like Dream Green.
Ye Si didn't think anything when he saw Old Nelson's surprised look. He was too familiar with the fifth graders. Although each head coach's fifth graders had their own characteristics, they remained the same.
The key to every fifth primary school is to serve as the two inside players in the fifth primary school.
And such insiders are too difficult to find, which is why Nelson first proposed the five small concepts, but never realized them.
This is also the reason why Pat Riley proposed five almost identical tool men and five small ones.
Pat Riley just feels that there are too few such players who are neither inside nor outside, and it is even impossible to appear. They have the speed and athletic ability on the outside, can also defend the inside and outside, and more importantly, they can also control the ball. Can pass the ball, has strong enough football intelligence and tactical execution ability, and must be a sufficient threat on the offensive end.
Then you might as well make a wish directly to God and give your team a Jordan, which is easier than asking God to create such a player, and there can't be only one such player, but two.
If I really have two Jordans, how about five kids?
Therefore, Pat Riley's idea was not only to compete with Nelson on tactics, but also to ridicule.
It's like telling Nelson that none of the five magicians I want are as high as yours.
In fact, Nelson's five-small tactical system is indeed very demanding. If it weren't for the emergence of Ye Si, he would not be so flexible.
If Dream Green hadn't proven in the Warriors that he was the core that Nelson dreamed of, Old Nelson wouldn't be so passionate about Dream Green and always wanted to get him.
Of course, Nelson is a very, very smart man.
What Ye Si said was not straightforward, but he understood.
What Ye Si means is that you never thought that Dream Green was the perfect core candidate in your mind, so why do you think Antetokounmpo Jr. is not?
Antetokounmpo Jr. has most of the tools to become the core player you expect.
As for whether his software meets the standards, it will take the NBA to find out.
"I was too impatient."
Old Nelson smiled and shook his head.
Of course Ye Si can understand that this is the last season, and it is a season to realize his lifelong ideal, so why not be anxious?
Not to mention Nelson, even Yeas is not sure whether Antetokounmpo Jr. can become the next dream-catching Green in the NBA.
Antetokounmpo Jr. has always been an outside player, and Dream Green has played inside at least before. There are doubts about whether the NBA can adapt to the requirements of the inside.
What if Antetokounmpo is as clueless as Ibaka in terms of intelligence?
As Nelson, of course he hopes to directly find a player who he can see can play his tactics. It is best to be a ready-made player, whether it is a trade or a draft.
But such players may not be as good as Jordan and Magic, but they are not much rarer than players like Jordan and Magic.
Otherwise, Pat Riley wouldn't have said that.
After Old Nelson was relieved by Ye Si, he was no longer so impetuous.
An old man being so impetuous at this time really made Old Nelson feel a little embarrassed.
Although he has never been a calm person, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to be reminded like this by a child who can be his grandson.
Fortunately, after noticing his mental problems, Nelson was very capable of correcting them.
It is said that old children are as stubborn as children.
But Nelson's mobility and turning speed were nothing like that of an old man.
After Yees reminded him, Nelson handed Antetokounmpo to the SuperSonics the next day and began to test Antetokounmpo one-on-one.
Looking at Antetokounmpo's test results, Ye Si was also quite shocked.
He is 2.11 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.24 meters, and weighs 225 pounds. Let’s not talk about this for now. I already knew it before.
But the results of the sensitivity and speed tests specially prepared for him by Nelson were quite astonishing.
"All of them meet the outside standards!"
"Whether it's speed, explosiveness, bounce, or sensitivity, they all meet the standards of outsiders!"
A 2.11-meter player can still have outside athleticism and agility while training himself to be so muscular. This is simply a miracle!
This is no worse than Dream Green, a 1.98-meter perimeter player who has trained himself to be able to defend most of the league's interior players.
"He is an anthropological miracle like KD and James!"
"There is still half a year before the start of next season. I will work hard to teach him how to use an inside mind to play on the court!"
"I hope his golf intelligence will not disappoint me!"
After conducting the most comprehensive test on Antetokounmpo Jr., Nelson changed his previous prejudice against Antetokounmpo Jr. and began to fall in love with this somewhat shy young man.
Now Nelson's transformation of Antetokounmpo Jr. has fallen into a mad scientist state.
And now, the time has come to July 1, 2013.
This is the time when the new NBA season begins. This is also perhaps the most important time for every NBA team besides the draft. No, this time may be more important than the draft.
"Yes, this year's free market is a big one. Unfortunately, we can't participate."
Presti is sorry.
In Presti's regret, when the time came to 0 minutes and 0 seconds on July 1, 2013, the Spurs announced on their official Twitter that they had terminated the remaining two years of 61 million contract with team point guard Rajon Rondo. contract!
For a moment, the entire United States fell into joyful laughter again.
Just like the Leafs selected Antetokounmpo Jr. in this year's draft.
Hahahaha...hahahaha...ahem...hahahaha...
Cleveland, James even laughed out loud.
