1042.Meng Village, Surrounded by Big Cities (1st Update)

Every year after the draft, there are trades and draft scores.

The Hornets, who were considered the biggest favorites in the first pick, were highly rated.

Anthony Davis was selected by the United States Blue Association to join the Dream Team when he first won the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four MOP, although there have been media touting Drummond very much recently, but Anthony Davis has been promoted by the media as the No. 1 favorite since the end of last year.

Also highly rated in the draft was the Thunder, who selected Jeremy Lamb......

I don't know why, Lamb was favored by the media before his rookie season began, which led to a slight misunderstanding of him by the designers who made NBA basketball games.

The Pistons, who got Drummond with the 8th pick, were seen as picking up a big bargain, and the Trail Blazers, who always needed a center, did not choose Drummond, and local fans in Portland were scolding the Trail Blazers.

The Rockets selected the wandering poet who was exposed to psychological problems when he was in college and was unwilling to fly to the game, and was ridiculed again, mainly because he sent JR Smith away in the first round in order to save money, and it didn't cause any repercussions to help the Lakers get Leonard, after all, he is a player with a dozen picks, and several lottery shows disappear from the eyes of everyone every year.

Also mentioned was the Grizzlies' draft, as well as the Grizzlies' trade.

The Grizzlies and Bucks trade is a verbal agreement, and since it is not involved in this draft, it will not be reached until the free market opens, but it will not affect the fan discussion.

Jordan Jr. is gone, Neal and Redno are traded, and two pure defensive players are brought back...... In the eyes of the media and fans, this is the rhythm of defending to the end!

The team management who has been paying attention to the Grizzlies' defending year has nothing to say, how can a defending team operate like this? Don't want any face? Last season, the Grizzlies finally didn't have the same iron and blood, but they did have a run-and-gun lineup, and next season it seems that they will return to the rhythm of the 10-11 season.

With the Grizzlies winning the championship, Lewis voluntarily forfeited his salary for next season and did not exercise the player option, and now the Grizzlies still have two spots left, and it looks like they want to strengthen the guard line.

Championship-hungry teams are starting to snatch the league's defensive guards and don't let the Grizzlies strengthen their defense.

The Grizzlies didn't do anything, and before they made an offer to defensive free agent guards, or even made a trade request to a team that had defensive guards but were interested in trading, the value of those defensive guards was already rising because of the Grizzlies.

As a result, defensive guards inexplicably ushered in the spring and raised their salaries......

……

After the draft, Sun Ce continued his training, accompanied his parents to go shopping, watch TV, and eat hometown food...... Compact and orderly life, time flies quickly, and it will be July 4th, and the time for Sun Ce to go to Scotland to meet the national team has arrived.

The deadline for the national team to return to the team is the 5th, Sun Ce was originally scheduled to depart on the 3rd, take a plane to New York first, and then fly to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, the estimated itinerary, counting the transfer, about 12 hours, so the scheduled flight is 9 o'clock in the evening, sleep on the plane after completing the transfer in New York, arrive in Edinburgh in the morning of the 4th and rest for another day, return to the team on the 5th, Sun Ce's parents and grandfather goose are following Lily Collins to mix and visit the UK.

It's a pity that the UK is not a Schengen country, and it is more troublesome to go to other European countries, but because Lily Collins is pregnant, it is unlikely that she will run all over Europe, and Lily Collins is happy that neither of them will be happy.

The plan was planned that way, but the morning after the draft, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera, who knew of Sun's trip, invited Sun to fly non-stop from Memphis to Edinburgh on his private jet.

This...... Of course, Sun Ce felt that it was disrespectful and responded.

Originally, the flight itinerary was close to 10 hours, plus the transfer and waiting time, it took 12 hours, and the direct flight distance of a private jet was shortened by one-fifth, and Sun Ce certainly would not refuse.

On the morning of the 4th, Sun Ce's family, who had already packed their luggage, took the extended Lincoln sent by Robert Pera, and there were only 5 people and a lot of things.

Since it was a private jet, the family brought everything they wanted to bring......

The driver who came to pick them up was speechless, and his feelings used the car he drove as a truck.

Arrive at the airport by car, get everything done and board Robert Pera's private jet, which departs at 9.30am and is expected to arrive in Edinburgh at 5pm.

"Thank you so much, Robert, for helping us out of big trouble." Sun Ce raised his glass to Robert Pera.

Robert Pera picked up the wine glass and gently touched Sun Ce's wine glass: "It's just a small thing, your girlfriend is pregnant, it's too troublesome to transfer the plane, where can you contact me in the future, I will help you prepare for the charter flight, it's not a trouble for me, and it is the best thing to continue to watch you play at home."

I understand that it's not up to you to decide where you want to go, so I'm here to support you in whatever you decide in the future, but now I can enjoy the best No.6 in history for another year. ”

Is this true or secretly scheming? Sun Ce doesn't want to delve into it, whether it's true, or the idea of creating a long-term stay for him in the team, no matter how good his heart is, it's not as good as doing practical things!

This owner did no less for him than Mavericks owner Cuban did to Nowitzki!

It's just that Robert Pera doesn't like to shine in the public like Cuban, and even, Robert Pera can be regarded as the most low-key owner in the league, and other team owners will more or less show their faces on camera, but Robert Pera is not.

Even on the night of the championship, Robert Pera did not go to the center of the stadium to lift the trophy, but led the fans to cheer together in the fan zone, which was crazier than anyone else.

Sun Ce didn't say anything pretentious, and responded: "Then let's continue to win the O'Brien Cup!" ”

"Oh! It's cool, I'll do my best to help you get to the top of the world again," Robert Pera liked Sun Ce's answer, asking, "We're going to strengthen the point guard now, do you have any options?" ”

"It's okay, in the playoffs, it's actually enough for me and Steve, the main thing is that in the regular season we definitely have to let Steve rest, we have to find a third point guard to play a longer time in the regular season, this is just a matter of leaving it to Chris to figure it out, he traded Reedno back last season was really great." Sun Ce didn't deliberately force anyone.

"I'm also looking forward to Chris's ......"

The two chatted for a while, Chris Wallace went back to his small private room, Sun Ce went to play PS3 with Zu Ge and Lily Collins, and his parents put down their seats to sleep when they got on the plane......

Sun Ce is indeed less nervous about the reinforcement of the next two positions.

When the introduction of Larry Sanders strengthened the vacancy of Jordan Jr.'s departure, Sun Ce became curious about the team's next signings, and did not bother too much about who it was.

In fact, even Sun Ce is not particularly entangled about who to pick with the 30th pick in the draft, because it is not that important, this draft pick must be the third choice for a certain position, that is, there may be more playing time when the rotation is rested.

Whether it's selecting Green, Crowder, or Middleton, this position doesn't matter that much, even if it gets the players who should have been drafted in the first few picks.

The overall structure of their team is very stable, and the positional battle is dominated by his grandson, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol Jr.

The brisk counter-attacking lineup includes his grandson, Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Randolph.

Including Larry Sanders, reinforcements are to fill the vacancy, and the departure of Jordan Jr. has weakened the counterattack lineup, which is something that cannot be helped, but his grandson, Paul George, and Gasol Jr. will improve next season, and the strength of the positional battle lineup will be improved, which can make up for the weakening of the fast-break lineup.

And Nash is a year older, and the regular season may be less fast-breaking, so how to strengthen it has to be based on the actual situation, if Nash can continue last season's form, there may be two positions left that will be dominated by scorers, and if Nash needs to play like Nowitzki and Yao Ming last season, it may be mainly to strengthen defensive players.

Therefore, this draft, as well as the 15th teammate who needs to be added after strengthening the point guard in the future, that is, Crowder and the team's 15th man are just supplements, and the bench is not counted.

Of course, if you can bring in a good veteran or a role player who is in his playing year, it is naturally better to be able to step up when a teammate is injured and rested.

To Sun Ce's surprise, some players with good defense or strong scoring ability and characteristics are worth more than expected, and the mini middle class can't get it, and after the free market opened and the Larry Sanders trade was completed, Sun Ce learned from Chris Wallace that the team gave free agent Felton a 2-year, 6.9 million mini middle class with a player option.

But the Knicks gave 16 million for two years, and of course Felton chose the Knicks.

The Bobcats gave up DJ Augustin's matching rights and made DJ Augustin a full free agent, with the Grizzlies offering a 3-year, 11 million mini-mid-class, but the Pacers giving 4 years and 20 million.

Make it clear that whoever the Grizzlies offer, there will be other teams to grab whom!

In addition to that, there is the city press, and the Grizzlies offered veteran swingman Antoine Jamison a two-year, $6.9 million contract, with a player option for the second year, and Jamison went to the Lakers to get a base salary......

There are indeed those who are willing to hug their thighs, but some players have to choose cities to hug their thighs, such as Ray Allen, who received a call from Chris Wallace and said he didn't want to play in Memphis.

And then there's Jamison......

Only then did they win the first championship, and Sun Ce felt that they were surrounded by big city teams!
