Seattle, Key Arena.

The Supersonics defeated the Mavericks at home and ended the season with a victory.

Xiao Du waved to the sidelines, but he did not get any response, so he drooped.

It's like, Supersonics didn't win this game, and this game wasn't the last game of the season.

Although the Key Arena was rare, more than 17,000 Seattle people in the game just watched Du, Nick Corrison, and Lucredno leave one by one.

The commentator announced: "NBA has left Seattle forever!"

In sharp contrast, Miami, a defeat, but there was a burst of applause from the American Airlines Arena.

"This damn, the unbearable season is finally over!"

The showdown is over, and the next is the harvest season.

"How about Michael Beasley or Derek Rose, or OJ Mayo?"

"OJ Mayo first ruled out that his growth was not as expected. I prefer Derek Ross, who, together with Dwyne, can be the best backcourt in the league."

"Don't ignore Michael Beasley, he reminds me of Kevin Durant."

"No, Michael is far worse than KD, Kansas State University's top 32 is out!"

"That's because KD has Sheldon, Michael Beasley has only himself."

“…”

March Crazy is also over, and the University of Texas's grades are the same as in previous lives, and it is out of the quarterfinals.

Although there was one more Jimmy Butler, the ending did not change at all.

They were assigned to the University of Memphis and they were bound to meet in the quarterfinals.

A battle considered comparable to the finals, Memphis University broke out from the South District with Derek Ross' performance of breaking through the last three minutes and scoring 7 points in a row.

The intensity of the two quarter-finals matches is far less intense than that of this quarter-finals match. The Memphis University Finals match is UCL, and the other side is Kansas vs. North Carolina.

In the two semi-finals, the endings were crushed. Memphis crushed UCL, and Kansas also crushed North Carolina.

The two teams met in the finals, and within regular time, Kansas tied the University of Memphis with a three-pointer from Mario Chamos.

In overtime, Kansas performed better, so they won the highly anticipated final.

The team defeated the super giant, Mario Chamos was elected to the semi-finals, but the focus of people was Derek Ross.

This is about the draft. The only one who really gained the most value in the NCAA superstars before the season was Rose.

Beasley was eliminated at the top 32, and Beasley defeated the South Catholic University where Mayo is located.

Love's Ucla was crushed by Rose's Memphis University, and Westbrook, who is in the same team, has decided not to participate in this year's draft.

Although Westbrook has secured the starting position at UCL, his performance in the first half of March Crazy was really not good.

In the quarterfinals of 64, he scored only 9 points on 2 of 6 shots.

Texas A&M University led by Donald Sloan and DeAndre Jordan in the quarterfinals, he made 2 of 6 shots and scored only 5 points.

Western Kentucky University, who played Courtney Lee in the quarterfinals, made 2 of 13 shots and scored 14 points with free throws.

Until the quarterfinals, he played against Xavier University, and he bottomed out and scored 17 points, and played against Memphis University in the semi-finals, facing Derek Ross to score 22 points.

In two games, Westbrook finally achieved his value and the draft market also rose.

But...even if it rises, Westbrook's draft market is still hovering outside the lottery.

Li Ke sent a text message: "Meet at the talent show?"

Westbrook replied: "No!"

"Why do you run for the election? You already have the draft market in the middle of the first round. If you work harder in the draft trial, won't the lottery be easy?"

Westbrook is still very stubborn: "No, what I want is the lottery market before the draft trial."

This is very subtle. Westbrook does not participate in the 2008 draft, so who will the Thunder draft be selected?

Li Ke thought of someone - Jimmy Butler.

It was also Li Ke that Jiba had some deviations in his career. In his first season after he entered the junior college entrance examination, he achieved his net worth.

He did not enter the lottery, but like Westbrook, he won the draft in the middle of the first round.

With the same team positioning and even higher tactical status, Jiba's performance and evaluation are not as good as Li Ke. An evaluation from local media in Austin shows the reason-

"Derry Kross used his three-minute consecutive performance in the final quarter to bring Memphis University into the final quarter. Mario Chamos pulled Kansas back from the edge of the cliff with a three-pointer..."

"Think about the defending champion UT. Compared to last year, are they really just missing a KD?"

"Jimmy Butler filled Sheldon's defense, but what Sheldon is more important is undoubtedly his key goal."

Despite this, Jiba chose to run for this year's draft.

There is no way, Jiba's economic situation is really bad. He cannot learn from Westbrook and fight for a higher draft market, so he can only choose to run.

"It depends on whether Sam Presti has that vision."

Looking at the 2008 draft, without Westbrook, Sam Presti's choices weren't that many.

Ross must have gone to the Bulls. This is arranged by the league and has nothing to do with the draft vision.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see Mayo's problem. Chris Wallace of the Grizzlies is not a discerning eyes, but Sam Presti should be.

As for Beasley, Ross must have been selected afterwards. Even if the Supersonics hit the National Luck and got the top two picks again, they would not choose Beasley, because Beasley and KD and Jeff Green had a conflict in positions. No team will be foolish to the front line and hoard three potential new players.

Love and Garynalli’s reason is the same. The only thing Thunder can choose is Eric Gordon and Jimmy Butler…

"Yuandeng is definitely not as good as Jiba, but judging from the current situation, Yuandeng's draft market is even higher..."

...

It was still Seattle. Xiao Du was a little sad after thanking the court, but when the team's press officer brought a copy of the season's technical statistics, Xiao Du immediately threw the sadness behind him.

"As 80 games, averaging 21.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks, kd, your best rookie is stable!"

The team's press officer praised him, and Xiao Du shook his head embarrassedly: "No, no, then you didn't see Sheldon's data."

This season, Li Ke also played 80 games, which is different from Du Xiao’s absence due to injury. The two games he lacks are all suspended after punching Atae.

Average of 20.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.5 blocks, and five statistics. Compared with kd, the advantage is only one steal.

But Li Ke's shooting percentage of 46.8% is far higher than that of Xiao Du, and the team's performance is much better than that of Xiao Du.

Speaking of which, there is really a little suspense to the belonging of this best rookie.

Although Li Ke is more efficient, Xiao Du’s five data are better. Generally speaking, the selection of the best rookie has higher priority.

Xiao Du thought about it, and his first reaction was: "I'm afraid I'm going to share this trophy with Sheldon again."

...

Charlotte, Li Ke, who is preparing for the playoffs, also got all his data this season.

Speaking of which, in the first half of the season, Li Ke's five basic data were not weaker than Xiao Du. At that time, his score was higher and his assists were on par with Xiao Du.

But the arrival of Lao Ai and Lao Shark inevitably separated his ball rights and shooting rights, and the decline in data was foreseeable.

But even so, after the decline, Li Ke's average score was only 0.8 points lower than Du Xiao.

"One trophy, two people have it, it should be the ending again."

Perhaps because of his understanding, Li Ke also thought of the ending of sharing the best rookie.

Li Ke had no objection to sharing, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to stimulate Xiao Du.

I took a photo of the playoffs that was not clear but was already very good. After training, I found a computer and posted it on Facebook and Twitter, and by the way, I tagged Xiao Du.

“Happy fishing, kd!”

Seattle, Xiao Du, who was indeed preparing to go out for a vacation, saw Twitter and Facebook, turned dark and said that he even wanted to cancel his vacation plan.

But at this time, the phone ringtone rang, which was the phone call of Ty Lawson, who had just announced his withdrawal from the 2008 draft two days ago.

"What are you still rubbing on the horse? Hurry up, let's go, the girls are already waiting on the yacht!"

"This is coming!"

My heart is hot, fishing? That's right, I'm going to fish!

Xiao Du, carrying her schoolbag, walked out of the house firmly.

...

After the regular season ends and the playoffs begins, both the Bobcats and the Cavaliers have three days to adjust their state.

The training days have been full of queues, and even the old sharks cannot complain about being tired anymore.

After all, the playoffs are coming, and if you don’t work hard at this time, are you still waiting for the playoffs to be eliminated before regretting the efforts you started?

It was the second day after the regular season. Li Ke got up early, brushed his teeth and washed, enjoyed breakfast, and then appeared in the apartment training hall to receive training from the breakfast club.

Boss Qiao showed up soon, and David Falke came.

The three core members of Michael Jordan's team gathered together and watched Li Ke silently holding two solid balls, moving continuously.

In the entire training hall, only Li Ke's heavy breathing was there.

More than ten minutes later, Tim Graver stopped Li Ke: "Let's take a break, Sheldon."

Li Ke immediately threw away the two solid balls in his hand, and the solid ball hit the floor hard. Boss Qiao felt a little distressed: "Hey, Sheldon, be careful, don't break my floor."

"No, Michael, your floor is solid."

Li Ke took the towel carelessly, wiped his sweat, and then asked in a strange way: "By the way, David is here, why are you two not communicating and having a conflict?"

"He is worried about your playoffs." David Falke shrugged, and he was talking about Old Joe.

Li Ke smiled and said, "There is nothing to worry about. Half a season ago, who would have thought that the Charlotte Bobcats would make the playoffs? But now, we not only made it to the playoffs, but also ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. This has exceeded our expectations. In every step next, we are breaking our expectations!"

Lao Qiao felt that what Li Ke said made sense and nodded.

But then, Li Ke turned his head and looked at David Falke: "By the way, David, it's the playoffs, and AJ's bonus should be paid, right?"

Old Qiao, who nodded, suddenly paused, his face turned black and his eyes rolled.

Now, he regrets the sneaker contract he gave to Li Ke. With various reward terms and conditions, the money Li Ke gets is probably higher than the amount on the surface of the contract.

But on the other hand, Lao Qiao was also comforting himself: the more he gets the bonus, the more I earn.

This is the truth, selling shoes and other things are different. After all, Li Ke has not yet issued signature sneakers, so he said that the reward for entering the playoffs is $1 million, which is not much. After entering the playoffs, the Bobcats made a little money from tickets, broadcasts, bonuses and other aspects, and the money came back.

The breakfast club lasted until after 7 o'clock. Li Ke, who was sweating in his body, went back to take a shower and set off for the Bobcat Training Hall.

He did not drive his own car, but at the invitation of Old Joe, he got on Old Joe's Maybach.

Along the way, Li Ke saw many billboards of bobcats.

The promotion of the playoffs began very early. It was early when the Bobcats had just finished the final game of the regular season, and the tickets for the first game of the playoffs were sold out.

This is also the reason why Lao Qiao is worried about the playoffs.

The Charlotte Bobcats played well and played poorly in their first playoffs, and everyone would be satisfied.

But as the team owner, Lao Qiao has a kind of worry about gains and losses.

If you fight one more game, you will sell one more ticket and earn four or five million dollars or more.

The first thing a team in the small football market needs to consider is naturally to make money.

Speaking of which, although it has entered the playoffs, whether the Bobcats can do it without losing money this season is still an uncertain factor. The main reason is that although the introduction of Lao Ai and Lao Shark has improved the team's performance, the corresponding expenses have also increased.

Lao Ai’s salary of more than 19 million US dollars, plus Lao Shark’s salary of 20 million US dollars, that’s all real.

In two transactions, the number of transaction exceptions of the Bobcats is given, which means that the Bobcats spend more.

Originally, the loss was more than 13 million US dollars, but now the loss is actually even higher, just to make a comeback in a playoffs!

Just as he was about to reach his destination, Lao Qiao spoke:

"Sheldon, tell me, where do you think we can fight?"

"Hmm? Where did you hit?"

Li Ke was actually a little confused about Lao Qiao's question, but after thinking for a moment, he knew that Lao Qiao wanted to take a reassurance, so he told the truth:

"It's not difficult to pass the Cavaliers. In the second round, the opponent will most likely be the Celtics. We have the power to fight, but..."

Old Qiao interrupted Li Ke: "No need to say about the Celtics, they are very strong. I know, but the Knights, are you so confident?"
