Chapter 315: The Troubles of the Draft

The four ways to improve capacity can be briefly summarized as follows:

First, the SP points brought by details such as games, honors, data, teammate trust, coach trust, etc.

Second, the badges and signature actions brought by personal honor are the way to improve.

Third, the virtual training camp brought about by the change of player contracts.

Fourth, the reverse bootcamp brought about by the change in commercial contracts.

Chen Mu has tried the four ways, and they have all tasted the sweetness from them, and in terms of improving his personal strength, Chen Mu's path is very stable.

But on another issue, Chen Mu was a little powerless.

January 3, 2008, North Shore Garden Arena, Boston.

A strong and weak game in the East is about to begin.

"Audience friends, fans, friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of this season's MLB game, and the game we bring to you today is the Boston Celtics, home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The guest invited to you is Mr. Su, who everyone is familiar with. In the broadcast room, Yoga began to introduce the general situation of the competition.

"Hello everyone." The guest, Mr. Su, smiled at the camera, which can be regarded as a greeting.

"Mr. Su, today's game is not broadcast live in the United States by the American counterpart, and the local media in Boston and Philadelphia are the ones that have live broadcast signals. In fact, there are still a lot of highlights in this game, can Mr. Su give us an analysis. Yoga opens.

"That's right, this game does have a lot to watch, especially for us Chinese fans, there are games with Chen Mu, they are all key games, and we all want to watch them." Mr. Su said with a smile: "Now the internationalization trend of the NBA is becoming more and more obvious, we have four players in China playing in the NBA, and there are more and more 'home teams' belonging to us. ”

"You're right, the Houston Rockets have Yao Ming, the leader of our Chinese men's basketball team. Superstar-level players, strength and fame are incredible, and many fans started watching the American professional basketball team because of Yao Ming, which can be said to be an important chess piece laid by the American professional basketball team in China. ”

Yoga introduced: "Then there is the 76ers, Chen Mu is not a superstar now, but the superstar is no problem, and he is the absolute core leader of the team, making rapid progress, and everyone is very concerned." ”

Then there are the two young players who joined the American professional basketball team in the draft before this season, one is Yi Jianlian, who was selected at the sixth position. Although the UAE itself is also very strong. But some people say that the reason why the UAE was able to be selected in a high position has something to do with Chen Mu's success in Philadelphia, what do you think of this issue? ”

"I think there's some truth to that, but it's not all true." Teacher Su said: "The physical fitness of the United Arab Emirates, especially in terms of height and arm span, is more attractive than Chen Mu. I still remember when Chen Mu first entered the NBA, we all said that he had the athleticism and physical fitness close to that of a black athlete. And on the side of the United Arab Emirates, we can completely say that the physical fitness of the United Arab Emirates. Definitely at the level of black athletes. ”

So from this point of view, the UAE was able to be selected in a high order, while Chen Mu was unsuccessful, which is inseparable from the difference in physical fitness. Furthermore. The UAE has been trained in the professional league, that is, the CBA, and is already a dominant player in the CBA. For scouts, the reference value of the professional league is naturally more reliable than the training match of the national youth team. ”

Teacher Su continued: "But this draft is said to be a big year for the draft. There are a lot of talented players. Yoga, do you remember the game when Chen Mu became famous? On the United States, which one? The player who was opposite Chen Mu at that time was extremely physical, with strong height, arm span and jumping, and his name was Brandon Wright. He also ran this season, and ended up being selected with the eighth pick. ”

Now Wright is a high-ranking show, and Chen Mu, who was on the court at that time, at least easily outperformed him in rebounding, is now a core player. This contrast is bound to make NBA scouts and managers more interested in Chinese players. The UAE's immediate combat power was stronger than Chen Mu at that time, and it was understandable that he was selected in the order two places higher than Wright. ”

"What you mean is that the individual strength of the UAE, combined with Chen Mu's experience, has made the scouts and managers make the choice to select him from a high position." Yoga concluded.

Teacher Su nodded: "That's right." ”

"After that, it is the second round, the 40th pick overall, the tall point guard, Chinese magician Sun Yue, who was selected by the Lakers. It seems that Sun Yue doesn't have much playing time now, but the Lakers have a great record, and maybe they will have a chance to win a championship ring in their rookie season. "Yoga Path.

"Haha, that big Yao is going to cry." Teacher Su said with a smile.

"We also noticed that the Philadelphia 76ers have four draft picks this season, and it should be said that the opportunity is very good for such a draft year. But so far, the 76ers' rookies have had little to show up, and the drafted players haven't been given much opportunity to play. What do you think about this issue? Yoga continued.

"Well, I really think it's a pity for this question." Teacher Su shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at what people the 76ers have chosen!" ”

A list of 76 picks prepared by the TV station appeared on the screen, with 17th, 21st, and 30th picks in the first round, plus the 38th pick in the second round, the 76ers have a total of four draft picks, although the picks are not high, but in a draft with decent quality, Taobao still has a great chance.

"The 17th pick in the first round, the 76ers selected Thaddeus Young, what do you say about this player, the strength is there, the talent is amazing, he was a superstar in high school, he is in the limelight, and Durant can be compared. As a result, when I got to the NCAA, I was suddenly lost. Like the Six-Vein Divine Sword, he is a player with great ups and downs. Teacher Su frowned.

"It's like Carney, who now occupies a solid rotation position in the 76ers." Yoga supplements.

"Yes." Teacher Su nodded: "Then the 21st pick in the first round, De Quinn Cook, the college teammate of the Great Oden, a three-point sharpshooter, and a short scoring guard." ”

"This player is a very targeted selection for the 76ers, as we all know, the 76ers are now missing three-point shooters, only Korver is a pure shooter, and the three-point ability of other players is unstable. If Cook can grow, it will naturally help the team a lot. But at the moment, it seems that he has not adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the NBA, and his personal potential is quite limited. ”

"Then there is the 30th pick in the first round. The 76ers chose Petri Kauporen, a Finnish point guard with a wide vision and solid dribbling skills, but the ceiling is also limited, and in the European U20 B League, he averages only 12.6 points and 3.4 assists per game, which is also a bit incomprehensible. ”

Teacher Su shook his head and said: "The 76ers had Miller in the team at that time, and later exchanged for Lowry, whether it was Miller or Lowry. Even Louis Williams, the scorer off the bench, has the strength or potential to surpass Coppone. Why choose Boneon? I don't understand it either. ”

"Finally, Feshenko, who was selected in the second round, is a big white bear in Europe, with a pretty good height, 2.16 meters, good rebounding and blocking ability, and a rough offense. It was also a strange choice, as the 76ers had no potential inside at the time, and Hunter was leaving. The choice of Feshenko is understandable. But shortly after the draft, the 76ers made a trade in exchange for Evans and Milicic. ”

"Evans doesn't talk about him, the rebounder. Milicic. He is also a European player, and his height, reach, strength, and power are above Feshenko in all aspects. Not to mention the potential, Milicic has improved this season for all to see, and there is clearly a prospect of becoming a starting centre-forward. As a result, Philadelphia has stockpiled two European potential insiders. It's a really ...... choice."

"But then the 76ers put Feshenko in when they traded Lowry and Milicic." Yoga reminded.

"Well, that's still a good deal. But it still doesn't explain why the 76ers chose him. Mr. Su said: "Let's take a look at who the 76ers missed are the players. ”

A new list appeared on the screen again, and it was the rookies who the 76ers could choose from each pick, but in the end, they didn't, and now they are performing well on each team.

Between the 17th pick and the 21st pick, the 76ers could have chosen Sean Williams (who became the number one blocker in the Nets, and had a certain foundation in rebounding and mid-range shooting), Marco Belinelli (who didn't play much time with the Warriors, but had already shown the potential of a three-point shooter), and Jason Smith (who was a master of interior speed, running and jumping quality, who couldn't shoot well in one hand, and could even drop three points).

Between the 21st and 30th picks, the 76ers could have selected Wells Chandler (CBA passerby, everyone knows it), Rudy Fernandez (one of the biggest missing pearls in the '07 draft), Aaron Brooks (the small scorer who gradually made a name for himself with the Rockets), Aaron Afraro (not a big guy, but quite a late bloomer who matured in his rookie years), and Diego Split (everyone is familiar with it).

Further back, with the 30th to 38th picks, the 76ers missed out on Carl Landry (a man with broken teeth, a tough low-post player), Glenn Davis (big baby, saliva man, Shrek), and McRoberts (a passer at the fourth position).

At the overall 38th pick, the 76ers missed even more regrettable players, Ramon Sessions (the demon point guard in his rookie season of double twenty), and

Mark Gasol.

"The most pity is Mark Gasol, although he has not landed in the NBA this season, but he looks very promising to win the MVP in the Spanish league, if the 76ers can select him at that time, he can completely let go of Hellam Porter and get rid of this big contract, but it's a pity......"

Mr. Su commented, and finally shook his head regretfully, as if he was disappointed with the 76ers' draft vision.

"Listening to your analysis, there seems to be a sense of alienation between the 76ers' draft and trade." Yoga Path.

"That's right, we don't know what's going on with the management of the 76ers, and the difference between their trade and the draft is really two skins, and there is no logic at all." Mr. Su's concluding remarks left countless fans with endless reverie.

What's wrong with the management of the Philadelphia 76ers?

Inside the North Shore Garden Arena, the game is about to begin, and a storm is brewing in the management of the Philadelphia 76ers. (To be continued......)

PS: Regarding the issue of the draft, our Xiao Chen will soon have full control!
