Chapter 438 The crux of inaction
"This is... the book you wrote?"
Weisha remembers Elaine Trovis writing a novel about the doctor.
"Well, it will be published next year. Do you want to write a preface for me?" Trovis asked.
Wei Xia felt that his literary talent was OK. If he wanted to write the preface, he had to at least have a certain understanding of the content.
"I've only seen a small part, it's very interesting, it would be great if I could see more." Wei Xia strongly hinted.
"This is a draft, you can take it back and read it, but don't spread it out," said Trovis.
The original author's draft is more valuable than the published authentic ones, not to mention that it is not expensive, Wei Xia brought the book home.
Oh, I also brought home the slap marks.
In the following days, Wei Qiu was exploring where the slap marks on Wei Xia's face came from. Has his younger brother done something bad? Otherwise, how could he be beaten?
Wei Xia didn't want to explain, justice is in the hearts of the people.
The life of the eliminated person is going on in a dull manner, and the NBA Finals have also begun in a competition without any suspense.
Sure enough, the Spurs took four games to get the Cavaliers.
After the game, Duncan left behind the classic "Buddha Sayings".
Looking at the four games, James's data has dropped in all aspects compared to himself in the Eastern Conference Finals, and his shooting percentage is difficult to see directly.
He averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his three shooting percentages were 35.6%, 20%, and 69%.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, James averaged 25 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.9%.35%, 74%.
The Spurs successfully did things that many teams did not do again later.
Let James weaken his stats while dwinding his performance, and averaging 6 assists per game means they completely cut off the connection between the Chosen Son and his team.
Not to mention, in addition to 6 assists per game, James' per game has a shocking 5.8 turnovers.
It can be said that the Spurs used their best defense to kill James from the inside out.
Of course, that's just James in the fourth grade, who is only 23 years old this year.
That's why Duncan had the Buddhist saying that was passed down as a classic.
Because at that time, King James seemed to be the ruler of the next era, and he led a group of ordinary teammates to fight out of the cockfighting field, a real single-core champion. In just four years, God knows how much room for improvement he has. Maybe he will be 50 times stronger than he is now at his peak.
The finals ended and the long offseason began.
The first to be unfolded is naturally the highlight, the talent show.
The 2007 draft was long-awaited, and the general view is that at least two super giants, five All-Stars and a large number of stable main and main players rotations.
When it comes to whether a talent show is a big year, it actually depends on how many talents he can bring to the league.
If three super giants were produced in one draft, but the others were destroyed, then it could not be called the draft year.
At the beginning of the draft, Weisha was having a meal at Kim DiLecter's house.
While preparing her best steak, DiLecter asked Wei Xia what she commented on this year's rookie.
Greg Oden's face entered the camera, and Weisha's first sentence when she saw him was: "Brother of LeBron James?"
DiLecter asked in connotation: "Just because both of them are very old?"
"If this sentence is spread, Spike Lee will not ask you to film again, right?" Wei Xia smiled casually.
"Of course, I will definitely be banned." DiLecter asked pitifully, "You won't tell me, are you?"
Wei Xia said realistically: "It depends on what you use to entertain me."
"How about using this best dinner in the world, and myself?"
Ever since Weisha and Trovis have confirmed their relationship, Weisha has never met DiLecter again.
Wei Xia resisted every temptation she had.
"You are getting less and less interesting." Dilek looked at Wei Xia unexpectedly.
Just because Wei Xia didn't pick up her joke with sexual metaphor.
Undoubted No. 1 pick Greg Oden was called by ESPN expert Stephen A. Smith: "Greg has the highest quality talent since the 15th draft."
The 15th draft, 15 years ago.
Smith believes that Oden's talent belongs to the second person besides the Sharks since 1993. He skipped the 96 generation like gold, stepped on the 03 generation like diamonds, and identified Oden as the best draft player in the past 15 years.
"He is the best candidate to help the Knicks rebuild." Smith's comment fell.
The Trail Blazers chose Oden with unshakable determination.
This decision was later thought by countless people to come back countless times, and the Trail Blazers still chose Oden.
In fact, if the timeline is moved back 10 years, that is not the case.
The era of big balls has not come to an end yet. The general managers will of course choose the inside with super talented wings and insiders. If it is in the era of small balls, will the healthy Durant and Oden, who have serious injuries, still have to choose?
The most typical one is 2014.
Wiggins, whose maturity is worrying but the ceiling is too high, and Anthony II, who has comprehensive skills, surpassed Joel Embiid, who has no blame for both static talent and dynamic talent, but has hidden dangers of injury. It was 2014, and it was not strictly speaking the era of small balls.
The Trail Blazers chose the big man to go home "as usual".
Oden was selected, and there was no one to choose the second place.
This draft is where two vanguards are leading the team in front of the team and then look at the people behind him with contempt: "Who will fight for third place?"
Regarding Durant's discussion, the scene was scared by the Boston Celtics' deal after only two minutes.
Quickly rolling trade message: The Celtics will trade Ray Allen with the fifth pick to the young player from the Seattle Supersonics.
Initially, what Danny Angie wanted was Durant.
He underestimated the IQ of the Supersonic Management and threw out all the chips he could use, so he couldn't agree on, so he had to choose a spare tire, Ray Allen.
Pierceray Allen, a group of young people, and a bottom-ranked Eastern Conference team has risen.
It's a cockfighting field after all, and having two All-Stars who can fight is enough to win the team's playoff tickets, but it's not enough to win more.
Moreover, John Hollinger, the creator of efficiency values, said: "Every good orthodox second guard in NBA history except Reggie Miller has gone downhill after 12 years."1
1. Kobe, Jordan, are not considered orthodox second positions.
Later, two years later, Wei Xia's mouth was rising, and the price of not choosing him was the price of not choosing him.
Putting aside Oden and Durant, two rookies who are one level ahead of the others, Al Horford is the No. 1 pick among the remaining mortals.
Horford was picked by the Hawks as the "real No. 1 pick".
Then he waited until the fifth pick, and the Celtics chose Jeff Green, who was the main bargaining chip for Ray Allen.
The sixth pick surprised Wei Xia.
He turned out to be a Chinese.
He never pays attention to the draft, so he doesn't know Oden and Durant very much, and naturally he doesn't know Yi Jianlian either.
According to the attitudes of several commentators, they are not optimistic about the development prospects of Yijianlian.
The Bucks choose him, like an unfortunate choice.
Milwaukee is not on Yijianlian's "acceptable cities" list because there are no Chinese here...or, there are no Chinese except for the whites who like stout beer and fried foods, gentle and burly figures.
Wei Xia didn't care much about what happened next.
He just wants to know who the Lakers chose in the end, and it will take an hour to wait.
The Lakers have the 25th pick in the first round this year and the 40th pick in the second round.
While observing Mark Gasol in the scouting department, there was another unexpected discovery.
This is their first round choice this year.
The Lakers used the 25th pick in the first round at hand to easily and happily defeat Espanyol Rudy Fernandez (SG). This is a not difficult choice. As a white man, Fernandez has physical fitness and athletic ability that can match the black man. His playing style is radical and fierce, and his viewing ability is super strong. At the same time, he is thin and easy to be injured. Scouts are basically not optimistic about what reputation he can make in the NBA. Discrimination and prejudice against European whites is an obstacle that the NBA scout department cannot eradicate.
Choosing Fernandez is like the Spurs blindly choosing Manu Ginobili back then. It is a long-term investment, and it doesn’t matter if you lose money. If there is a return, you won’t lose money by taking the 25th pick to scrap the lottery.
"Do you know him?" DiLecter asked.
Wei Xia smiled and said, "I really want to know him."
He won't watch the choice of the second round, he knows who the Lakers want to choose.
Except for the Lakers, almost no second team has fallen in love with Marc Gasol. Compared with his extremely talented brother, his athletic ability is like a stepmother.
Half an hour passed.
The result is out.
The Lakers used the 10th pick in the second round to choose another Espanyol, Mark Gasol.
Wei Xia, who learned the result, had a strange idea in her mind - could this be a reinforcement for the Lakers during the offseason?
No way?
Wei Xia's concerns are well-founded. The Lakers have not shown any interest in any free agent at present. The management who wants to make a difference is already taking action. Look at the Celtics. The free market has not opened and Ray Allen has been dealt with. The stocks that have accumulated for many years are about to burst out and exchange them for the main combat power to win the championship.
On the surface, the Lakers uniform group: We will never show off. The Purple and Gold Legion’s goal is always the champion and are willing to accept all plans!
Uninvited trading object: We want Byner...
Lakers Uniform Team: Silly, get out!
The Lakers need to strengthen like the Celtics, and Bynum is the biggest bargaining chip.
But the Lakers' bottom line is "except Wei Xia and Bynum, other young people can choose whatever they want."
Chapter completed!
