(Um, I made a rather low-level mistake in the last chapter. I am a fake fan, and I don’t know much about the NBA. I took the lottery ceremony as a street lottery. I checked it online later, and I plan to rewrite the last chapter later. , The writing is not rigorous enough, sorry.)

Compared with the first round of lottery, the attention of the second round lottery was much less. The Wizards did not draw the first pick this time, but the third pick. Does anyone really care? Geniuses with real potential were all picked in the first round of the draft, and there were very few players like Arenas who fell into the second round.

After the lottery, each team began to try out the participating NBA players one after another.

The Wizards are no exception.

It's just strange that it's different from other teams who cast a wide net and invite a large number of players.

The number of players invited by the Wizards is very small.

Top pick Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma, Stephen Curry from Davidson College, James Harden from Arizona State University, and DeMar DeRozan from the University of Southern California.

The Wizards only invited these four players from the Little Green Room.

In addition to these four, the Wizards also invited Plaine from Harvard University, Patrick Beverly from the University of Arkansas, Danny Green from the University of North Carolina... and then there was no more.

That's right, the Wizards only invited 7 players for trial training.

In fact, if he didn't want to confuse the Clippers, Wang Xiao wouldn't even bother to invite Griffin over. As a traveler, he knows exactly which rookies in this class can play well and which are just superficial.

In this draft, Wang Xiao's goal is a total of four players, Curry, Harden, Beverly and Green.

Curry and Harden will be the core of the Wizards' rebuilding team, and the Wizards will also build a tactical system around Curry and Harden in the new season.

Beverly and Danny Green will be an important force on the Wizards' bench. Their excellent defense can also make up for the weaker defense of Curry and Harden.

The purpose of inviting Griffin is to make the Clippers think that the Wizards may choose Griffin, and use this method to overvalue the value of the No. 1 pick in their hands.

As for Plaine...

Wang Xiao knew very well that with Plain's strength and potential, he was definitely a player who would be selected in the first round, and it was estimated that there was a high probability that he would be selected above the 20th pick.

As long as you are a scout with a little vision, you should be able to see Plain's strength, excellent defensive ability, good physical fitness, extremely fast lateral movement, top defensive awareness, and Cosco who can see past distance shot.

As long as he joins the NBA, he can immediately become a team's instant combat power and contribute to the team's defense. Such a player is rarely unmoved by the head coach.

It's a pity that Plain, who has used Battier's growth card, can only be regarded as a defensive titan and an excellent role player.

The Wizards have no extra first-round picks to choose him, and it is impossible to get a second-round pick.

The reason why he invited Plain to participate in the training was that Wang Xiao wanted to provide him with some good suggestions so that he could attract more team attention.

After all, this is my first student to participate in the NBA draft, so I have to give him some help. The only problem is that the Wizards only have two draft picks, one with the No. 1 pick in the first round and one with the third pick in the second round. The other two players are what Wang Xiao needs to operate next.

At this time, the playoffs are not yet over, and the trading market has not yet opened, but under the conscious publicity, there is already faint news in the league that the Wizards are interested in Griffin. It is said that it is Wang Xiao's physical test data for Griffin I am very impressed, thinking that he will be one of the most powerful forwards in the league in the next ten years, and his future achievements may not be inferior to Duncan and Garnett.

This made the Clippers nervous. They really wanted Griffin, especially when Griffin was invited to participate in the Clippers' workout and demonstrated the skill of dribbling three basketballs at the same time. , This kind of action that usually only outside players can make surprised the Clippers management team.

So, when the NBA Finals ended and the free market officially opened, the Clippers hurriedly contacted the Wizards.

When the general manager of the Clippers called Glenn Field, the general manager of the Wizards, he expressed the hope that he could negotiate the issue of the No. 1 pick.

What the general manager of the Clippers didn't expect was that after hearing his request, Grunfeld threw him a phone number angrily, "Talk to him if you have any questions, I don't care about this matter! "

(About the issue of the draft, many friends said that Harden is not good enough... As a fake fan, I really can't express some things. As a fan, you think Harden is too soft in the playoffs, Rubbish one, but do you only use his performance in the playoffs to talk about a player? So according to this perspective, who is the right player? Kobe? James? Durant? Leonard? Which of these Is it available to the Wizards in the plot?

From my perspective of a coach, Harden is definitely a very good player. You must know that this guy joined the league with the third overall pick, and he played as a substitute for the Thunder for three years! Three years of hard work, if it wasn't for the Thunder's refusal to give him a slightly larger contract, he might have continued to serve as a substitute for the Thunder. What's the concept? Be obedient! Is there anything more worry-free for the general manager than the obedience of the players? By the way, Curry also belongs to the kind of player who is very worry-free and will not make trouble.

Let's talk about performance again. With Harden's performance in the past few seasons, how many players in the league dare to pat their chests and say that I am better than him? If you didn't choose him in 2009, would you still choose Evans? Harden has a dark history for several years, hangs around nightclubs, dates the best defensive player Kardashian, and keeps his eyes defensive. However, his performance in the past two seasons has also proved that this is a player with the will to change.

The last is Harden's performance in the playoffs in 2019. Many people say he is not good, but don't forget that Harden averaged 31.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 6.6 assists in the playoffs. He played against the Warriors just like James did last year. Sharingan has been competing all the time, just because he failed to stand up at the critical moment of the game, isn't it a bit unfair to say that he is not good enough? With 4 years of 160 million US dollars, Paul only scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in the playoffs. Why should he only spray Harden?

Having said so much, what I want to express is that Harden certainly has his shortcomings, but they are definitely not as bad as what you said. Especially in the 2009 draft, Harden was not wanted, so tell me who I want, De Rozan Evans Rubiotti Lawson or Jennings?

The above are all personal thoughts, which may be different from other people’s preferences. After all, radish and cabbage have their own preferences. If there is Jordan Kobe Iverson, I definitely don’t want Harden. The problem is that there is no. )
