Chapter 304 They gave too much

The second pick in the first round was the famous "Water Pull" Russell. Of course, he later became an All-Star.

The third pick is Jahlil Okafor. There is no problem with his talent. The only problem is that he was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers. In recent years, the Philadelphia 76ers have focused on two words in cultivating rookies: letting go.

No matter what kind of performance you can perform in your rookie season, you are only given one season. After one season, then...

Please invite the next "talented rookie".

It vividly explains what "no girl is always 18, but there are girls who are 18 every year"!

The good news is that this time the Philadelphia 76ers were the second pick in the first round, and they took away "Water".

As for Okafor, he was selected by Li Wan's old club.

The fourth pick in the first round belongs to "Boss Joe"'s Bobcats.

"Boss Joe" originally wanted to choose Mario Hezonja, but he resisted and chose Latvilla's "genius insider" Kristaps Porzingis, whom he was not optimistic about!

This is an inside player who is 2.21 meters tall and has mobility comparable to that of an average small forward.

But in the eyes of Michael Jordan, a thin body is undoubtedly a must...

But in order to verify whether his idea was correct or not, he finally chose this guy!

When Li Wan learned that Michael Jordan chose Porzingis, he was stunned for a moment.

He never expected that Jordan's vision would suddenly reach the level of Phil Jackson!

There is a "Chinese element" in the seventh pick of the first round. Don't get me wrong, it is not a Chinese player who was selected at this pick, but a "America's strongest high school student" who graduated from high school and chose to play in the CBA in order to make money.

The pick was selected.

He is Mudiay.

The No. 1 high school student in the United States!

In order to treat his family's illness, he chose to go to China CBA after graduating from high school last year...

This experience was obviously unforgettable for him. Before participating in the draft, he showed his suit to the media and saw "Chinese National Flag" embroidered on the inside.

"I hope to become a great player like Li Wan. Even if I don't reach that level, I hope I can work hard to prove myself!" This was his pre-match interview.

It was this passage that made him more popular in the domestic media than other candidates.

Then there is the special guard pick No. 13 in the first round. Phoenix management selected a guard Devin Booker with this pick.

This selection was undoubtedly successful. Although Booker had not yet reached the level of Kobe before Li Wan traveled through time, he was indeed a representative player of the Mesozoic era.

Among the students in the class of 2015, he is even more outstanding!

If the 2015 season is rearranged, he will be at least in the top 3...

After that, there weren't many names that Li Wan was familiar with. The 27th pick in the first round was the Cleveland Cavaliers' draft pick this season. They selected Larry Nance Jr. with this pick.

As the "second generation star", Larry Nance Jr., like his father Larry Nance, both plays with the body.

He is an inside player with a positive style and rough skills.

In this increasingly fast-paced league, players like Larry Nance Jr. are becoming more and more popular.

It's just that as far as Li Wan knows, Larry Nance Jr. has not played well. The level of his entire career is at best a qualified substitute player.

Of course, among the remaining rookies to choose from, this is already considered a "high-quality product"!

The 2015 draft is not small, and there are "talented players" there, but only a handful. Let's put it this way, in this year's second round, a total of 4 teams gave up their signing rights.

It can be seen that there are not many "second-round potential stocks" worth betting on this year.

The Cavaliers were one of the teams that gave up the right to sign in the second round.

Even if Li Wan has "eyes", he really can't find any "draft treasures", let alone their second-round draft pick, which is still the 57th overall pick in the second round.

The final result is to give up...

In fact, this is also one of the rare NBA drafts where there is no second-round bye.

In the second round of previous drafts, even if they didn't reach the All-Star level, there were still two or three ordinary starters. In this round, they were all "passing by".

The news that Li Wan has started training has spread throughout the league.

This has aroused the vigilance of many super giants, and they have also started the "pension" mode.

ESPN cut together the videos of these reports and said: "This may be the group of multi-millionaires who sweat the most in the world!"

Buckley said: "Li Wan is like a catfish, which makes all the super giants dare not relax. They don't want to be ruled by Li Wan. This is their only way to resist: to become stronger!"

"I'm already looking forward to the new season!"

The better the players' condition, the more exciting the game will be!

To say whether the atmosphere of this alliance is good or not, it really depends on what the "big brother who takes the lead" does.

For example, after the "top giants team up" model was launched in 2010, the entire league was full of team ups. In those years, there were only a few All-Stars in the team and they were too embarrassed to go out and say hello.

Another example is that in 2023, it is still the same person who made a shocking kneeling and made the Lakers average nearly 30 free throws per game, the league's highest number of free throws. How outrageous is it? Let's put it this way, the number of free throws in each game is more than a dozen more than the opponent.

This is not to mention the final game, when the overall situation is decided and the referee gives the opponent a symbolic whistle.

Since he "knelt down" and led the Lakers back to the play-off stage, there have been more and more voices in the league complaining about unfair whistles.

If they feel that their own whistle is not as good as the opponent's, everyone from the players to the head coach will be dismissed.

This is true from the Suns to the Timberwolves...

This is because the person who should set an example failed to take the lead and disrupted the atmosphere of the entire league. They all hope that their side can "8 against 5".

And now, Li Wan, who is so diligent, has made all the super giants in the league start training hard.

For those who have not yet entered the training ground, there must be something like this on their social media: Li Wan, who has won 5 championships, is still working so hard, how can you have the nerve to rest there?

Practice for me until you die!

When you retire, you will have plenty of time to rest!

Amid various reports about star training, July 1 is slowly approaching.

Mike Conley, who was training in full swing, received a call from his agent.

"Man, Chris wants to talk to us, he wants to meet..."

Mike Conley said resolutely: "There is no need, just tell him our thoughts. We hope to trade to Cleveland!"

This matter was decided when Li Wan was eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals.

Compared with Li Wan winning the championship, this is the best opportunity to join the Cavaliers! It just so happens that his contract with the Grizzlies has also expired, and now he has absolute autonomy...

So he asked his agent to tell Wallace what he thought.

After not contacting him for two days, he thought that Wallace had started discussing with Griffin how to sign first and then trade. Of course he was willing to leave something to Memphis before leaving.

After all, Memphis was the place that selected him in the draft and trained him.

After so many years, so much money and so much effort, you have to leave something behind, right?

There won't be anyone who leaves without leaving valuable chips for his home team, right?

No way?

No way?

Then this person is too egoistic.

Just listening to what the agent said, it seemed that Wallace still didn't give up and wanted to talk again.

between……

Mike Conley feels the need to re-examine his ability as an agent.

Seemingly sensing Mike Conley's dissatisfaction, the agent didn't care anymore. He quickly said: "That's it, Chris Wallace has provided us with a five-year maximum salary contract of 153 million..."

"How many, how many?"

Mike Conley almost bit his tongue, thinking he heard wrong.

The agent repeated: "153 million in 5 years!"

He was not surprised by Conley's reaction, because he had a similar reaction when Chris Wallace announced the offer.

Although everyone knows that with the NBA signing a new broadcast contract, the league has officially entered the "big money spending era", but Mike Conley never expected that he could actually sign such an expensive contract.

153 million for 5 years…

The starting salary is more than 26 million!

I deserve...

?

How much does Chris Wallace love me?
