Chapter 9: The rookies of 08 (middle)

McGee did a pretty good life after joining the Supersonics, which surprised Zhang Weifeng. But if you think about it carefully, Zhang Weifeng felt relieved again. After all, the Wizards are not suitable for McGee's development. What about McGee's lack is an inside line that can support the defensive end, and what about McGee? The innate physical advantages are extremely obvious in the inside line, and his offensive ability is quite good! Although McGee is tall, he can run and jump, and is proficient in a variety of inside skills! And the most important thing is that he has the hard conditions to become the best defensive player, that is, his excellent bounce and blocking awareness and two long arms! If it weren't for the issue of basketball IQ, McGee's pick would have to be ten or eight more places upwards!

After McGee was at the supersonics that lacked the inside, he was naturally valued, and he didn't have to sit on the bench, so unlike his previous life, McGee no longer had to bother with his playing time! McGee performed very well in his debut, contributing 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks! In the second game, McGee's performance rose to 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks! In the third game, McGee actually scored 14 points, 21 rebounds and 4 blocks!

Average of 15+14.7+4 in three games. McGee's magical performance of three straight-ups shocked the league. Perhaps the bosses were shocked. The Supersonics really dared to give players like McGee so much playing time, because in their opinion, instead of letting McGee make a fuss, it would be better to lose directly! However, the Supersonics players and coaches didn't think so! Although they lost all three games, the Supersonics were indeed full of vitality and hope! In their opinion, McGee might become the second Zhang Weifeng! So, the Supersonics are also secretly having fun!

Zhang Weifeng naturally knew McGee's performance. Because McGee was on the rebound and block list at this time, McGee was actually on top of him! Zhang Weifeng also knew that McGee had just entered the NBA now, had a lot of playing time, and his teammates trusted him, so it is natural that it is normal for good data. However, if McGee could not control his emotions, the future might not be so beautiful! However, Zhang Weifeng knew that because at the Supersonics, McGee would at least not become a miserable blue-collar wandering like he did in his previous life!

Jason Thompson, the power forward, unfortunately fell out of the lottery zone! As a result, he was selected by the Wizards! Zhang Weifeng did not have a deep impression of this player, so he felt that this was a player who did not have an outstanding career. Therefore, Zhang Weifeng also thought strangely, this Wizards should not ruin Thompson!

Another change is Batum selected by the Kings! After Batum arrived at the Kings, he adapted to the system very quickly, and the fit between the inside and outside lines was very solid. However, even so, his performance was not very outstanding. After all, the Kings had too many strong points. At least before he could fully demonstrate himself, there would definitely not be many of the Kings' ball rights in his hands! Therefore, Batum's data is not very good! After the three games, Batum was able to contribute only

7.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.7 blocks! And his shooting percentage is a bit bad, only over 40%. His three-point shooting percentage can still be seen, reaching 34%! In fact, Batum did a good job on both the defensive and offensive ends, but his data is not particularly good-looking! Zhang Weifeng was still confused about this, thinking that Batum could still be the second Bathirl, and a player who cannot be measured by data?

No matter how Batum performs, since the Kings spent a first round of No. 24 signing to him, they would be patient with him! And Zhang Weifeng had at least told Petri and Seyus that Batum would definitely be a potential stock, so no matter whether they think what Zhang Weifeng said is right or wrong, they would probably give Batum a year or two!

The Rockets held a draft pick with the 25th pick. The NBA has produced too many butterfly effects due to Zhang Weifeng's arrival. The most important thing is that Yao Ming was not injured. He rested immediately after the Olympics! Moreover, in the new season, Yao Ming did not have any potential for injury in the Rockets' official statement, which made Zhang Weifeng feel relieved! At the beginning, Zhang Weifeng was worried that Yao Ming would be injured in the game against the Lakers and then end his career! He also thought about how to help Yao Ming avoid this tragic thing! In fact, now it seems that Zhang Weifeng's original worries were completely redundant, and God had his ideas! The Rockets played against Yao Ming in the first round, and he was also safely sent away from the playoffs field filled with smoke! Although he participated in the Olympics later, Yao Ming's body was still very healthy!

This made Zhang Weifeng feel that there was nothing to do about anything. Things have their own developments in the dark. Zhang Weifeng suddenly realized that he only needs to do his own things and build his career well. How else should he develop!

In fact, the Rockets have attracted a lot of attention from Zhang Weifeng. Yao Ming is still healthy in the 2008-09 season. At the draft, Morey's decision made Zhang Weifeng sigh! Because the Rockets used his No. 25 draft pick to win Sergi Ibaka from Africa! At that time, Zhang Weifeng was shocked. Ibaka's joining the Rockets is undoubtedly the best supplement to the Rockets. Yao Ming's offensive and inside deterrent power, coupled with Ibaka who is good at rest, this way, the Rockets' inside naturally becomes a difficult penalty area to cross!

Other general managers may be laughing at Morey. They think Morey will actually choose an inside player with an African height of only 208cm. After all, this guy has no value worth signing except for being able to jump a little! And these people can only think that Morey was bewitched by the Congo's old uncle Mutombo! Otherwise, how could Morey choose Mutombo's fellow villager Ibaka under the premise of Scola and Yao Ming? Perhaps, Mutombo hopes that Ibaka can make some contribution to Congo, so he also helped Ibaka with the affection of his fellow villager!
