Chapter 746

On the 22nd, Su Yang and Hinkie flew to Brooklyn together, and then drove to the Barclays Center, home of the Nets.

Just eat some grilled pork chops to pad your stomach. The time is exactly [-] o'clock in the afternoon. According to the schedule, you will participate in the analysis live broadcast before the TNT draft. In addition to the TNT Big Four, you will also participate in the Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. The appearance announcement fee is as high as [-] US dollars.

I was too lazy to take $[-], mainly due to the trouble of filing taxes, so I directly announced on Twitter that I would donate to the charity organization I founded.

The live broadcast stage was placed in the square outside the Barclays Center, surrounded by hundreds of fans, and six people sat in a large arc.

The host Ernie John briefly introduced the theme of the show, and welcomed the two bosses Su Yang and Cuban to participate, and thanked them for bringing high ratings to this show, and then said: "Now we will start the first topic. Suspense?"

According to the predictions of DARTF, ESPN draft experts Chatford, BBR and other websites, the No. [-] pick in this draft is all Deandre Ayton, a seven-foot center from the University of Arizona. The template is Sean Kemp and David Robinson.

Ever since Ayton confirmed his participation in the draft, he has been occupying the No. [-] position. JJJ and others have never surpassed him.

There's no way, it's too fierce.

Ayton averaged 20.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 blocks per game throughout his freshman season. The statistics are much better than that of Oden, and there is no risk of injury. The key is to be a physical center with a beautiful center. cast.

The key is the time when Ayton participated in the draft, 11 years after Oden, and various analysis methods are much more advanced than they were back then.

This is not an era when boasting of "beating Noah and Horford with one hand" can enhance the public's impression.

"We all know that in addition to player strength, the draft also considers the lineup. At present, the Suns have won the first pick. With Devin Booker and TJ Warren, there is no need to consider choosing an insider. s Choice…"

Su Yang spoke first, "So, Ayton will definitely be the No. 84 pick, unless the situation changes to 07 or [-]." The implication is that without Jordan and Durant, there is no possibility of upset. Bagley, no threat.

"I agree with Su Yang's opinion..."

Cuban hastily agreed, his expression seemed a little anxious, and he seemed to feel that something was missing, and added forcefully: "If we get the No. 1 pick, we will choose Ayton without hesitation. He can score 205 point per round on average , better than 75 percent of players in the league with 20 post-ups, and he's not even [-] yet..."

O'Neal suddenly asked: "Su, if the Suns trade Giannis Antetokounmpo with you after the Suns select Ayton, only considering the factor of strength, will you agree?" The strength is quite funny.

If it is changed, it means that Ayton is at the MVP level, and a wave of "Su Yang thinks Antetokounmpo is not as good as Ayton" can be hyped.

If you don't change it, it means that Ayton's strength is the same, and a wave of "Su Yang thinks Ayton is not a super giant" can also be hyped.

Su Yang understood O'Neal's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Of course it won't be exchanged. Giannis is the core of our offensive and defensive system, and Ayton can't achieve that function." Seemingly a dilemma, just make a direct evaluation, and Ayton will enter the peak Not as good as Antetokounmpo.

There is no need to be afraid of offending people, let alone just evaluating the functionality of the two, and you can also praise a wave of Brother Antetokounmpo by the way.

In Su Yang's view, Ayton's draft templates are David Robinson and Sean Kemp are very accurate. Suspension up to 20 games.

Such a suspension caused the Suns to fail to make the playoffs, which also shows that Ayton has no intention of being the boss.

Therefore, no matter in terms of strength or mentality, the gap between Ayton and Antetokounmpo is quite large, how can it be exchanged.

The topic stopped abruptly, and O'Neill was bored.

The host Ernie asked again: "What do you guys think, among the remaining favorites to participate in the draft, who has the best chance to challenge Ayton's position, just like we rearranged the three-year draft in 84, 96, and 09 after many years, the number one pick None of them were champions in the past..."

This time it was Cuban's turn to speak first.

Cuban was obviously a little nervous, and seemed to be regretting that he should not participate in this live broadcast. After all, the Mavericks have the fifth pick, and social media has already spread rumors that the Mavericks will exchange the fifth pick with the Eagles, and their goal is to come from Europe. Doncic.

"I think Marvin Bagley is very likely. He has the height of a center player, the technical skills of a power forward, and the explosive power of a small forward. He can play multiple positions. He is also the best high school student in the United States. Ke received good guidance, he is very confident in his own way, has a very modern style of play, shooting 39.7% from three-pointers..."

Between words, Cuban is full of praise.

Su Yang tried his best not to laugh out loud.

In order to get Doncic, the Mavericks sent people to Europe for inspection three years in advance, and asked Doncic not to provide any team with a physical examination report. In addition, they were preparing to trade up the pick. In short, they wanted to get Doncic by various means. Odd, but I can't say it now.

But O'Neill and others don't give face.

Cuban's voice fell, and Kenny Smith pretended to be amazed: "Wow, listen to you, I believe the Lakers will be very happy. They happened to fail to talk to Randle. Marvin Bagley can make up for it very well. Their power forward position…”

O'Neal also booed: "I have seen the video of Bagley playing with CP3D and others in the Drew League. He already had NBA-level strength at that time. Now that a year has passed, I can't wait to witness his new performance."

Barkley didn't say anything, just smiled.

Su Yang saw the expressions of the three of them, and suspected that Cuban had already paid the notice fee to O'Neill and Kenny Smith.

That's just blindfolding.

The host Ernie Johnson looked at Su Yang again, and his eyes signaled to speak, talking about who can challenge Ayton's position.

"I think both Tre Young and Luka Doncic have a chance, and Shay Alexander is also possible..." As soon as Su Yang mentioned Doncic's name, Cuban looked nervous, obviously worried that the Lakers suddenly decided to intercept Hu Dongcic , after all, it is theoretically possible.

In a few words, Su Yang made it clear why those three had the opportunity to challenge Ayton for the No. [-] pick in the draft.

His words are crazy.

Terry Young, the next Steve Nash with Curry's long-range shooting ability, is born with a big heart.

Luka Doncic, the next LeBron-style all-around player, is expected to match LeBron's rookie performance.

Shay Alexander's talent is slightly inferior, but he is also very versatile, with solid basic skills, only confrontation.The key is that Shai, as a point guard, changed to a shooting guard next to Paul. His adaptability is extraordinary and his basketball IQ is quite high.

As soon as he finished speaking, Barkley exploded.

"Wow, you said Luka Doncic? Did I hear you right? With your ability to analyze rookies, how can you be optimistic about Luka Doncic? It's not like you don't know the true level of the Spanish league. Doncic is Although he is the MVP, he obviously relies on team bonuses, at most Rubio's level. How could he have the opportunity to challenge Ayton, and even synchronize with LeBron's rookie performance? Do you mean he can lead a certain league's bottom ball? The team made the playoffs, or averaged 25+5+5 per game?"

The rhetoric is quite strong.

Cuban had a smirk on his face and seemed very happy when Barkley retorted that Doncic was just a Rubio-level player.

Su Yang didn't take it seriously at all.

In his opinion, there are only two reasons for Barkley to underestimate Doncic. The first is that he does not believe that young white players can adapt to NBA-level confrontation. .

But before Su Yang replied, O'Neal rushed to speak again.

"I also thought I heard it wrong! You actually said that Trae Young is Nash with Curry's long-range shooting ability. I have played with Steve Nash. I know what kind of ability he has. It is definitely not a A skinny point guard of the same height can reach his level, especially in terms of organization, Nash is different from Paul and Kidd, why do you say Tre Young can?"

After hearing O'Neill's rebuttal, Su Yang turned his head to look at Kenny Smith, implying that if he also had a rebuttal, he would join him.

Kenny Smith was really prepared.

"too exaggerated!"

Kenny Smith slapped the table with both hands, "You said that I can accept Luka Doncic and Tre Young, but why is Shai Alexander on the list? I am a point guard, and I know Shai's physical condition, Unable to adapt to NBA-level confrontation, even if he can have stable data in the regular season, he will struggle to encounter targets in the playoffs. There are many cases.

What's more, his shooting has a slow rhythm and a very low release point, which is very easy to be restricted, which proves that he lacks explosive power! "

Kenny understands Shay Alexander's determination, at least he has done his homework, and he got nods from O'Neill and Barkley during the conversation. The happiest thing is Cuban, who seems to be eager to mess up the topic, don't talk about Doncic strange.

Seeing that Kenny finished speaking, Su Yang chuckled.

"Is there anything else you want to add?"

The three of O'Neal shook their heads in unison.

"You all want to ask why?"

The three of O'Neill nodded in unison.

"Because all my predictions have come true!"

Su Yang laughed and spread his hands: "I said Durant was the MVP, I said Westbrooks was the MVP, I said Harden was the MVP, I said Draymond Green was the DPOY, I said Giannis was the MVP and DOPY, I said Said Jokic was the MVP...

In short, what I say is what I say. "

Su Yang thought of the lines he learned from playing "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", that is, I say what i say, and used it to pretend.

I just didn't say the next sentence, I take what I take, I can have whatever I want.

After the words fell, hundreds of fans burst into cheers.

O'Neill, Barkley, and Kenny all showed three points of embarrassment, three points of smile, three points of doubt, and one point of admiration.

The host Ernie Johnson smiled and waited for a moment, then took over the topic: "Among the three mentioned, plus Bagley mentioned by Mark just now, is anyone willing to let Giannis or Stephen Curry go? Exchange them?"

"Of course not..." Su Yang shrugged.

"As for your previous deal with the Thunder, would you use Grant to exchange for one of the four of them? Or would you use Sabonis to exchange with him?" He searched over and over again to find hot topics, and the hosting skills were very strong .

"Don't talk about the exchange, just discuss the lineup. We hope to supplement players like Shay in the backcourt." The news of the exchange of the ninth pick between the Kings and the Knicks has not yet been announced. I want to pick Bridges.

Su Yang is really optimistic about Shai, but the Kings already have Curry and Brogdon in the backcourt. Even if it is a waste to let Shai play as a backup or shooting guard, it is better to choose Bridges with 3D attributes, and after four years, he will be able to play at a suitable level. The price stays.

Sooner or later, Shay will be the boss player, and it is difficult to get a multi-year contract with hundreds of millions of dollars, so he reluctantly gives up.

"Then let's discuss next. If the Lakers choose Bagley, can he replace Randle who may leave at the power forward position?" The host Ernie spoke very veiled, using words if and possible, but everyone knows Randle will not stay with the Lakers.

Randall is the kind of player who can't perform well without the ball in his hand, and his golf quotient is relatively low, so he can only bury his head and rush forward.Anyway, in Su Yang's view, even if the Lakers' version of Bagley can't become the core pillar, it won't be worse than Randall.

It's a pity that no matter which team Bagley is on, he will always have to accept Wharton's sanctions, which is destined.

The discussion comes, the discussion goes, and the live broadcast ends.

Su Yang and Cuban stepped off the stage together, and the two relaxed in the temporary lounge, and removed the recording and other equipment by the way.

"You only have the 26th pick this time. Why did you come to Brooklyn specifically? Is there a deal? I heard that the Lakers are very interested in Zach LaVine and want to get him by signing first and then trading. The second time is for the second pick?"

Cuban tried carefully, knowing that the Lakers have a very low probability of choosing Doncic with Russell, Ingram, and Paul George, but if the Kings get the second pick, Su Yang will not follow the routine. The crazy character of the card, as well as the experience of choosing Giannis and Jokic who were not favored by the public scouts, it is really possible to snatch Doncic away.

"Haha, Mark..."

Su Yang looked at Cuban's nervous expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I promise not to snatch Doncic, but I have a suggestion."

Cuban breathed a sigh of relief, looking forward to it.

"After you choose Doncic, you must urge him to maintain self-discipline. With his young and famous experience, it is very likely that he is not self-disciplined. By the way, don't equip him with a stupid center or a glass center. You have cheated Nowitzki several times like that. This time, what Dampier, what Riff LaFrentz, you must firmly take him as the core, and be patient by the way, don't think about winning the championship anytime soon."

After Su Yang finished speaking, Cuban's expression was half surprised and half embarrassed.

The surprise is that Su Yang knows so much, and the embarrassment is that he has indeed made Nowitzki miserable all these years.

"Thanks for your advice…"

After holding back for a while, Cuban popped out a word of thanks, and Su Yang turned to talk about hot investment areas in the next few years.

Cuban bluntly said that he wanted to engage in Bitcoin and other currencies. Su Yangxin said that you fucking like to cut leeks. If you hadn’t grabbed Dirk Nowitzki’s championship, if you hadn’t supported me on the NBA board of directors, I would be too lazy to give you advice. , even if it can be compared.

After the chat was over, Su Yang went to the coffee shop and met with Howard's agent Fagan to discuss the possibility of joining.

Howard has been traded to the Nets and is negotiating a buyout. If all goes well, he will soon be a free agent.It's a pity that the talks between Su Yang and Fei Gen failed to reach a preliminary intention. Fei Gen wanted a two-year contract of tens of millions.

In the blink of an eye, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the draft meeting was about to be held.

According to the plan, Hinkie submitted a trade application to the league with the Knicks, and WOJ broke the news at the same time.

Social networks quickly set off heated discussions, wondering which player Su Yang would choose with the ninth overall pick, and the 76ers, the new general manager Elton Brandon called to protest, and let reporters break the news, saying that the king had backtracked tease them.

Su Yang didn't even bother to pay attention to it, so he called LaVine after hanging up the phone, wishing him a successful life as the boss of the Knicks.

After the deal was settled, Su Yang went to meet with McGee again to discuss the matter of joining with a basic salary, and then entered the Barclays Center.

 That’s all for today’s chapter, I’ll add it later.The main thing was to pretend to be aggressive last night, and I couldn’t do 50 push-ups in one breath. I couldn’t do it later, and my shoulders compensated too much, which hurt my shoulders...
