Chapter 654: Let's think about the draft

The Cavaliers players know that there is not much time left for them, and if they can't quickly narrow the score and get a 20+ lead by the Clippers into the final quarter, it will be impossible to turn the game around.

But at this time, the Cavaliers want to narrow the score, which also seems a little whimsical, even if Xiao Mo broke out and James teamed up to score 7 points and chase the score to 83:62. But then Ji Guoqiu grabbed the rebound in the front court, and a dunk in the second offense immediately calmed the situation. Then Ji Guoyi burst into the restricted area and made Vallejo's fifth foul, took the main center on the opposite side off the court early, and hit the Cavaliers' already collapsed interior line with a free throw.

Both teams now know that the third quarter is the decisive point for the outcome, with the Animal Brothers and James both playing the full third quarter.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, the two brothers successfully closed the door on the defensive end and sandwiched the forcibly breaking through James in the middle, who still forced himself to jump to the basket, but was slapped by Ji Guoyi's long arms.

"Ahh

James screamed after landing on the ground, this strong attack lost his balance under the attack of the animal brothers, and finally landed on one leg, and he did not stand firmly, the weight of the whole body was concentrated on James's right knee in an instant, the knee twisted fiercely, and the whole person fell to the floor with a "plop".

"Dude, are you alright?"

Ji Guoyi was startled when he saw James grinning with his teeth, the two of them really didn't think of hurting people, and now they don't need to use such obscene means at all. However, if one does not retreat on the basketball court, there is a high chance of injury. The sport is not a small risk, especially when James is constantly attacking, and injuries are most likely to occur.

The referee quickly arrived at the scene. How is the penalty judged this time. He wasn't sure either. The two Clippers sandwiched the poor gorilla in the middle like a pie, but there was no obvious foul action, this accident was actually a normal collision, but James's appearance, the referee still chose to show a foul to Ji Guoyi.

"Damn, I knew the foul was going to be counted on me."

Ji Guoyan was very helpless, the giant panda was expressionless, but he was snickering in his heart. Whoever makes Ji Guo ashamed not look like a good person, he is different, he is a well-known good person in the NBA.

James fell to the ground in pain, it seems that the gorilla should not be pretending, although sometimes he will also show his acting skills, but now this painful expression should not be pretended, the orangutan acting skills are not so good.

This guy hasn't been injured since he entered the alliance, like an iron-beaten adamantine orangutan, but he didn't expect to be unlucky today. At this moment, the black bread was so frightened that he even threw the tactical board to the ground. If James had three long and two short today, the knight wouldn't have to fight at all. Just surrender directly.

The Cavaliers hung their hearts in mid-air at the moment, but after a while, James limped to the sidelines with the help of the team doctor.

Seeing this, the black face bag relaxed slightly, as long as the player can still walk after being injured, there is a high chance that the injury is not particularly strict, but it is better to be able to walk on his own.

James came to the sidelines, stood on the sidelines and wanted to see if he could recover some, if he could walk without support for a while, the chance of serious injury was even smaller. As long as it is not a serious injury, even the reimbursement of this season does not matter to the little emperor, a minor injury will not affect the player's athleticism, which is the most important thing.

As for the team's victory or defeat, there is already no suspense, and now it is more beneficial for James to withdraw due to injury. He has indeed tried his best, even if the peak Jordan comes to the current Cavaliers, it will not be much better than him.

The game was paused for a few minutes, and the Clippers fans, as the victors, applauded James as he walked off the court to show his demeanor. But if it's the Clippers who are behind right now, the Staples fans won't be as personable as they are now, and of course they will still be clapping, but they will add the phrase "Gorillas go home and eat bananas." ”

The game restarted, Dunleavy Sr. replaced the two brothers, and the Clippers now led by more than 20 points, and now that James is down, they don't need to send the animal brothers on the court anymore. By the moment James left the court injured, the 2-0 score in the Finals was in hand, and the Clippers were now within striking distance of their third O'Brien Trophy.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers sent substitutes to the court, and the offensive and defensive efforts declined, and the two teams made consecutive mistakes when they came up, and the game became difficult to see. But it doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as the Cavaliers don't score, the Clippers don't care, and the old Dunleavy should be a young player.

After this season, Dunleavy Sr. can't say how many people will leave the Clippers in the summer, he just knows that when honor is no longer the first goal of players, everyone will no longer pursue the same thing. The elder Dunleavy also doesn't want to leave some players who are different from his goals, it's time to stop and let some players get off, there are countless honor-hungry players waiting to get on the bus on the site, and changing blood on time is a part of every dynasty team, otherwise you can refer to the aging Spurs.

The two dynasties of the Bulls in the 90s, except for the core Jordan and Pippen, the other players don't know how much stubble they have changed. This is the same reason that the human body will innovate itself every few months, and the Clippers must also carry out such a blood exchange in order to continue their competitiveness, so as not to turn themselves into a pool of stagnant water.

But when it comes to blood changes, we can't fail to mention the summer draft. As early as May 10, the lottery draw for next season was completed, and the Clippers, as the league's No. 1 this season, unsurprisingly got the 30th pick in the first round and the 30th pick in the second round, and both rounds of the draft were the last picks.

The New Jersey Nets in the East are different, as the league's most basketball team this season, the titular owner Emma Brown. Roberts was lucky, and she drew a spot for the panda, which was a bit better than the No. 3 pick on another plane.

This year's "March Madness" table xiàn the best NCAA player is not John. Vol is the pride of the University of Kentucky, and has a relationship with his older brother Derek. Rose's similar stature as well as strength are considered to be not inferior to Delhi. Kroos' super-rookie. And he was born poor, and he didn't have a tattoo, which also shows what makes him different. The current draft market is, unless the team that gets the No. 1 pick has Chris. Core point guards like Paul and Williams. Otherwise John. Wall almost locked in the top spot.

The Washington Wizards, who got the No. 1 pick, happened to experience Arenas' cheating trip. Now the team has been completely torn down and rebuilt. They will definitely pick John with the top pick. Wall, there shouldn't be much hope for the Nets. Unless, John. Wall can follow the example of Kobe Bryant back then, and he is determined not to marry the Nets, so that as long as the Nets pay some price, it is possible to trade Guò in exchange for the Wizards' top pick.

To be honest, the Nets are also working on this right now, and Ji Guoqiu is just the behind-the-scenes owner of the team. Current Nets manager Billy Murphy. Kim won't listen to him for anything, and the Nets are now actively negotiating a deal with the Wizards for the No. 1 pick, for which they can pay Harris and their pick. In Billy. In King's eyes, it would be nice not to have to pay the price to get Nash, but if he could trade for John. Wall is better, he has his own judgment and way of working.

Ji Guoqiu naturally knows the current operation of his team, but he respects his manager very much, just like his management of Maohu Entertainment and Maohu Technology, and will not interfere too much in the work of the management. Since you have hired someone else to manage it, it is natural to give a certain amount of trust and respect.

Moreover. If Billy. Kim can really get the top pick, and that is completely a team manager who is called a functional officer. Ji Guoqiu instead wanted to praise this subordinate, and he would not be annoyed and angry because the other party sabotaged his plan to seduce Nash.

The Nets' first choice right now is to trade the Wizards' No. 1 pick upward, and if that doesn't work, then they're going to pick a great interior or forward swingman.

There are a lot of good seedlings on the inside line of this year's rookies, such as Derek. Favors, DeMarcus. Cousins and Greg. Monroe.

However, given that Ji Guoqiu does not want to play the center position anymore, Derek, who is only 206cm tall. Favors was ruled out first, his height making it difficult for him to play the centre-forward position. Then the Nets can actually only get a game from DeMarcus. Cousins and Greg. Monrory is a multiple-choice question.

In the end, how to choose, it depends on whether these two inside players can outperform Brooke during the tryout. López's potential, otherwise they would have given up on choosing an interior player and opted for a swingman.

There are also a lot of good players on the outside this year, such as Evan Brown, a typical swingman. Turner and Wesley. Johnson is the Nets' first choice, as for Paul. George's lack of athleticism and height meant he was just the third choice for Nets management.

Billy. Kim is currently leaning towards Evan. Turner, the kid in college, was an all-rounder, averaging 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists per game in his junior year. Robertson, who has not completed a record since 1960, is also a good all-star seedling, and he is extremely strong in his junior year, which is very suitable for his panda brother.

However, Ji Guoqiu knew about Evan. Turner and Wesley. Johnson has been with Michael in previous years. Beasley, these two were okay with everything in college, but when they got to the NBA, they became nothing, and Paul was the least favored of the three potential swingers. George played in the NBA instead.

The two brothers' minds were long off this game, and the benches of the two teams played a full quarter blindly, and the final point difference was still 20 points, and the Clippers easily took a 2-0 lead.

LeBron. In the end, James walked out of the player's tunnel on his own without relying on the support of others, and although his steps were a little unnatural, the emperor's fans were still relieved.

Looking at it this way, James's injury should not be too serious, as long as the injury is not serious, it doesn't matter if he doesn't play in the remaining two playoff games. In the hearts of Little Emperor fans, what James has to do now is to keep himself healthy and wait for the summer to find a suitable helper, and then take revenge on this arrow.

The media wanted to know about LeBron after the game. James's injury, but also knew it couldn't be. After the game, James did not attend the post-game press conference and went directly to the hospital for a check-up, so even Black Bread now doesn't know what the little emperor's injury is.

"Today's game was very bad, LeBron's injury was even more affected than when we were 2-0 down," said Brown after the game. We can't afford to lose him, especially with a 0:2 aggregate scoreline, but we can't do anything right now but pray to God that LeBron's injury isn't bad. ”

The Clippers don't have so much to worry about, whether James is dead or alive doesn't matter to them, although the Cavaliers without the gorillas will be easier to deal with, but the Cavaliers with the gorillas can't beat them either?

Ji Guoyi was a little entangled in his score after the game, because he only scored 19 points and 8 rebounds today, which didn't look very good, and it seemed difficult to snatch the MVP.

"My brother and I have been down since the Western Conference Finals because most of the time we only have to play three quarters, and it's hard for you to get 30+10 in three quarters. But if it's the same next game, I don't think I'll be upset. If I want to count my own number of people, I think I'll do it next season. ”

Ji Guoyi's words will always make the opponent feel uncomfortable, and looking at what he said, the media in Cleveland didn't know where to start scolding him for a while. There are too many slots in this passage, Ji Guoyan seems to be beaten all over, and he doesn't know where to start.

Dunleavy Sr. refused to talk about the sweep, and the head coach, who was about to win his third championship ring, looked refreshed after the game, his face as white as wax.

"It's disrespectful to the Cavaliers to talk about the sweep right now, and I think they're resilient and very quick to switch between offense and defense, especially offensively. So when we get to the away game, we still have to cheer up, although there are no examples of a comeback in the playoffs with a 3-0 lead, but there are many examples of a 2-0 lead and we don't want to be such a team. ”

Ji Guoqiu said: "I hope James's injury is not serious, he is an admirable warrior, especially when the team is behind, his appearance is like a senseless warrior." We're sorry for his injury and if we didn't have him in the finals, we'd have lost a lot of great shots. ”

After the second game of the finals, even if James's injury is not serious, there are few people who still believe that the Cavaliers can win the championship at this time.

It can be said that in the current situation, even if the knight is not swept away, it is already a miracle.

Clippers fans are now more concerned about the recruitment of next season, with Barnes, Garcia, and Afflalo all out of contract, plus the departure of their Panda brother, their work this summer will not be easy. Now the only good news for the Clippers is the new owner, their new owner Ballmer is different from the previous Sterling, the new owner has long let go, he doesn't care about paying luxury tax for the championship, so Clippers fans don't have to worry about the team sinking because of the owner's slamming the door now.
