NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

Chapter 171 The 2005 NBA Draft!

"Chris, where do you want to go?"

"Of course the Eagles, but the Eagles don't seem to need me very much...

Atlanta is closer to Paul's hometown, so Paul prefers to go to Atlanta.

In the original history, the Eagles also chose Marvin Williams, a forward who swings at the 3rd and 4th positions.

"You shouldn't be too low, Jazz, Grizzlies and Hornets, do you have a place to go?

"It's all a small market, and it's not close to my home. I don't have a favorite team."

Hearing Paul's words, Gu Yu understood what Paul was thinking.

"If I had a choice, I'd go to the Grizzlies. 35

"The Grizzlies actually have the strength to hit the playoffs, and everyone knew last season, the bad situation in the West.

"Although the Grizzlies sent Shane Battier away, they still have a lot of chips in their hands. If you go, it will not be a problem to play in the playoffs in your first season.

From Gu Yu's point of view, going to the Grizzlies is indeed the best option.

Everyone's sister-in-law, the best sixth man Mike Miller, James Posey are the excellent championship puzzles that have helped the Heat and the Celtics win the championship in the original history.

Although Battier is missing, the depth of the lineup is indeed there.

And the grizzly bear has a LOGO male.

The combination of Paul + everyone's sister-in-law, as long as they can achieve results.

It's impossible for the LOGO man not to find help for the two of them.

Although this pair played in the finals, it was indeed a little bit mean.

But the playoffs are really not that difficult.

Hearing Gu Yu's words, Paul also felt reasonable.

Although everyone's sister-in-law was not selected for the best team, she is also an All-Star insider.

Cooperating with this kind of player is better than continuing to hoard talents with the team.

So, at Gu Yu's suggestion, Paul embarked on a plane to Memphis.

In the NBA, all kinds of trade rumors have appeared at this time.

For example, the Hawks put Antoine Walker, a former All-Star forward, on the shelf.

Suns guard Joe John, because he was not satisfied with the contract provided by the Suns, decided to test the waters of the free market.

The most eye-catching news among them is, of course, that Master Zen has returned to the Lakers.

That's right, 'Zen Master' Phil Jackson is back with the Lakers!

For the outside world, the general view on this matter is that the Lakers want to restart the championship.

Barkley went straight to the show and thought the Lakers could make a big move this summer.

"We all know that what Zen Master is best at is the triangle offense, and the Lakers are now dual-core."

"The Lakers traded back to the Zen Masters just to re-trade in the summer and start fighting for a championship.

"After all, the Lakers' old rival, the Celtics, has been revived, can the Lakers be willing to sink in like this?

Barkley's analysis also represents the outside world's view of the Lakers.

Gu Yu didn't care, after all, in the original history, the Lakers also brought back the Zen master.

And if the Lakers want to trade, who will the Lakers trade?

Antoine Walker?

This power forward who has no defense and likes to shoot three-pointers.

Although the Zen master was criticized during the Knicks period, it does not mean that he is a fool.

He still understands how defense wins championships.

Singles Joe?

It's possible for Joe to be single.

After all, the singles Joe, who is 2.01 meters tall, can actually swing to the third position.

And singles Joe can also pass.

If the Lakers trade singles for Joe, then this will be interesting.

But will the Lakers trade singles Joe?

Do not.

Should it be said that the sun, which is also in the west, will send a guard of its own to the opponent in the west?

Gu Yu also started at this time, looking forward to how the various transactions that deviate from the original history will happen.

When the trade rumors were all over the league, Boston also started the championship parade.

Gu Yu and others were sitting on the bus with the O'Brien Cup in front.

Standing on the roof of the car, Gu Yu opened the champagne and sprayed the fans on both sides of the road to celebrate the championship with the fans.

At the end of the championship parade, Gu Yu and others delivered speeches respectively.

In general, just praise each other, and then defend the title next year...

The day after the championship parade, Gu Yu also received a rough call.

The general content of the call is also very simple, he wants to leave the NBA.

Gu Yu was not surprised by this.

Roughly its own defense is a big problem, and the ability to fight is poor.

After partnering with Gu Yu, as a spot-up three-point shooter, he can help the team to some extent.

But considering the general defensive issues in the playoffs, Rivers did not give a rough amount of playing time.

In the regular season, he can roughly score 5.6 points and 2.1 rebounds, and only 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds are left in the playoffs.

It's not a complete bastard, but it really doesn't have much effect.

In addition, the misunderstanding with the country has been solved, and he has won the NBA championship again.

Therefore, after roughly thinking about it, I decided to return to play in China. After all, his technical characteristics are more suitable for domestic competitions.

Gu Yu also did not object, after all, the Celtics are also ranked behind Okur and Kurt Thomas.

And Gu Yu and Diao also play inside from time to time, making the approximate playing time less.

After roughly leaving, Gu Yu received a call from Mo Ning.

Mourning was the main rotation in the playoffs, and he actually has no regrets after winning the championship.

"I'm getting old, I wanted to finish my career with the Celtics, but when I get old, I get homesick, so I decided to go back to Miami and play for another year before I retire~~.

"I know the Heat are the Celtics opponent, but I like that you understand me.

Gu Yu didn't say much, and could only send blessings to Mourning over the phone.

It's human nature to let fallen leaves go back to their roots.

The famous players such as Big Hard and Wade, after wandering around for a while, eventually retired from the parent team.

Although Mourning was not selected by the Heat, he gave his peak to the Heat.

In the NBA, the Heat is Mourning's home, and returning to his hometown to retire is a normal choice for Mourning.

Two of last season's teammates left at once, and Gu Yu didn't care too much.

The Celtics retained their championship-winning core.

As Tony and others continue to grow, the Celtics will get stronger!

Whether it's the Heat or the Pistons, next season Gu Yu still has the confidence to send them fishing!

Over time, the drafts began.

June 24.

Madison Square Garden.

The annual draft is held again.

Gu Yu didn't do the audition this time, so naturally he didn't go to the scene, but watched the audition at home.

After Stern's routine opening remarks, he immediately announced the ownership of the first pick.

"In 2005, the No. 1 pick in the first round of the NBA draft belonged to the Walmeckie Bucks, and they had five minutes to think about it."

After Stern finished speaking, he turned and walked backstage.

Two minutes later, Stern walked out and announced the Bucks' pick.

"In 2005, the first pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Walmecki Bucks selected a 2.13-meter center, Andrew Bodog from the University of Utah!

Gu Yu is not surprised by the selection of the Bucks.

After all, before the draft, Bogoute blew too much, and directly blew it into White Duncan.

What team doesn't want a Duncan?

Even in the future of small ball, big men are still the first choice for many teams.

Big Eyebrows, Downs, DeAndre Ayton, Bennett...

Seems like a weird guy in the mix, but big men are still the NBA's first choice.

"In 2005, the second pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Walmecki Bucks selected a 2.06-meter forward, Marvin Williams from the University of North Carolina!""

The Eagles, like the original history, selected Marvin Williams.

The Jazz, the third overall pick, then stole Deron.

"In 2005, with the third pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Utah Jazz selected a 1.91-meter guard, Deron Williams from the University of Kansas!

The LOGO man then grabbed Paul.

"In 2005, the fourth overall pick in the first round of the NBA draft, the Memphis Grizzlies selected a 1.85-meter guard, Chris Paul from Wake Forest University! 99

Gu Yu was not surprised to see Paul put on the grizzly hat as he wished.

The LOGO man's draft vision is definitely the same as a bug.

Since he has the opportunity to choose Paul, he will not choose a player like Raymond Felton.

Seeing Paul being robbed, the Hornets had no choice but to choose Raymond Felton, who is also known as the three NCAA point guards along with Paul and Deron.

The Bobcats, with the sixth overall pick, chose Charlie Villanueva, the team's core teammate during Okafor's college days.

Charlie Villanueva, as a role player, doesn't really have a problem.

After all, in the original history, he also stayed in the NBA for 11 seasons.

But picking a blue-collar guy with the sixth overall is still a bit of a loss.

After all, the lottery area is still dominated by the selection of the core of the team.

With the ninth overall pick, the New Jersey Nets selected Channing Frye.

Channing Fry's original history as a 3D insider helped the Cavaliers win the championship.

With the eleventh overall pick, the Lakers selected 'Little Shark' Bynum.

With the 13th overall pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Rashard McCants, a guard with great physical fitness.

Gu Yu's former teammate Joey Graham was selected by the Raptors with the 16th overall pick.

Danny Granger was selected by the Pacers with the 17th overall pick.

Gu Yu finds it interesting that the Pacers draft Danny Granger.

O'Neal Jr. is the Pacers No. 4 and Artest is the Pacers' No. 3.

In the original history, the Pacers chose Danny Granger just to fill the vacancy of Artest.

But this history, the Palace of Auburn Hills incident did not happen.

Pick a forward who swings at the 3-4...

Gu Yu feels that this history, the Pacers may have to trade.

Miller and Payton were barely able to hold down the locker room.

But Miller has retired and Payton is ready to leave...

And the team was eliminated by the Celtics in the second round.

Not surprisingly, the Pacers may also need various deals.

The Knicks also selected David Lee with the 27th overall pick in the first round.

The Warriors selected Curry's boss Monta Ellis with the tenth overall pick in the second round.

Monta Ellis, a player, also had a quasi-All-Star performance in his prime.

But the efficiency is low, and the performance of leading the team is not good.

With the fifteenth overall pick in the second round, the future best sixth man, Reed, was selected by the 76ers.

The Celtics drafted Ryan Gomez.

Ryan Gomez is a stocky 3-D power forward.

In the original history, it was one of the bargaining chips in the transaction.

The purpose of selecting Ryan Gomez is also very simple, in order to make up for the general departure, the team needs offensive space.

The 2005 draft officially ended with the Pistons' last pick, Alex Ake.

After the draft, Gu Yu also started preparing for training camp.

The Asian Championships started in early September. In the original history, Dayao was going to report to the national team in early August.

But Gu Yu and Dayao are now Olympic champions after all.

Gu Yu and Dayao considered playing in the playoffs, and the senior officials of Longguo Men's Basketball Team considered various things, and still hoped that the two would go to the Asian Championships.

Gu Yu originally didn't want to go, after all, he still needs the United Arab League, and he can't beat it.

But Dayao made a promise at the beginning, and in the end Gu Yu went with him.

And in August, Gu Yu is going to open a training camp.

Kind of like a hook basketball camp.

He plans to use his influence to invite some well-known NCAA players to his training camp to expand the influence of his choices.

Roy, A (Lee Hao) Derich, Rudy Gay, these NCAA players who are already all-stars, have all received invitations.

When Gu Yu began to invite players aggressively, there was an undercurrent in the league at this time.

Los Angeles.

Old Bass, Kupchak, and Zen master gathered together.

Old Buss was the first to speak: "" 々 Mayfair, which player do you want to help Kobe Bryant?

After all, the Lakers and the Celtics are mortal enemies, seeing the mortal enemy win the championship.

And it was a 4:1 gentleman sweep of the series to win the championship.

The most important thing is that Gu Yu is too young!

Gu Yu is now in the league and is an MVP-level player even if he doesn't continue to improve.

And his peak, at least ten years can be maintained!

Pierce was at his peak.

Even if Pierce is older, the peak is at least seven years away.

An MVP-level player plus an All-Star small forward still has at least seven years of his peak!

How many more championships have the Celtics won in the past seven years?

Seeing that the number of championships with the Celtics is getting worse.

The old Bass was also a little unable to sit still at this time.

"Joe John is a good option, but his defense is mediocre."

"Mr. Bass, we all know that defense can win the championship, and the Lakers are really too weak in the interior right now.

Zen master's words are obvious, if you trade singles Joe, you must strengthen the inside.

Although Kobe is strong, he is indeed an insider version at present.

During the Bulls' post-three consecutive championships, although Rodman was a blue-collar man, as a No. 4, his defense still had nothing to say.

Kupchak proposed at this time: "How about we trade the Wizards' Kwame Brown?"

"Last season, Kwame Brown's performance in the Wizards was also remarkable, although many people said that Kwame Brown was watered down, but I don't think so.
