Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 570 2011 Draft Conference
After the tour, the 2010-2011 season can be regarded as completely over.

Yi Jianlian rejoined the special training after a two-day break.

At the end of a season, Yi Jianlian's overall statistics have reached a new height:
Upper Body Strength: 87
Lower Body Strength: 84
Shooting ability: 89
Hook ability: 81
Three-point shooting ability: 89
Turnaround shooting ability: 86
Tactical ability: 89
Inside Footsteps: 81
Dribbling ability: 85
……

This season, Yi Jianlian has basically been on the outside and rarely goes inside. This is also the reason. His few skills on the inside have not changed much.

And his three-point shooting has been improved from 88 points due to more practice, and it will reach 1 points with another 90 point increase!
In addition, his upper and lower body strength has also been improved, and if his lower body strength improves, he will soon reach the top level of the league!

It is also for this reason that Yi Jianlian plans to focus on training his lower body strength and three-point shooting ability this summer.

In addition, the pace of the league's games is getting faster and higher, and the requirements for the ability of outside players to hold the ball are getting higher and higher. Yi Jianlian plans to practice dribbling again.

For a tall player like him, keeping the ball is more important than anything else!
At the same time as his special training, the annual draft is coming soon.

LeBron left Cleveland. This depressed border town has completely degenerated in the past season. Although it is not the last record in the league, it is enough to get the fourth overall pick in the end. It shows how bad they are this season. up!

However, although the record is worrisome, they were lucky. The pick traded from the Clippers eventually became the No. [-] pick...

That is to say, the Cavaliers won the first and fourth picks this year. In addition, although this year is not a super year in the draft, it is certainly not a small year in the draft. It won't be difficult to have two guys who can support the team in the future!
More importantly, this year's No. [-] pick is also very obvious. Kyrie Irving of Duke University is definitely the best candidate for the No. [-] pick!
leftover?
As long as they can take a decent guy with the No. [-] pick, the tone for the future can basically be set.

The second pick belongs to the Timberwolves.

Every team has a rising year, except the Timberwolves...

To say that the Timberwolves are a group of talents is really a group of talents. Garnett left the Celtics, played a wave of seven-for-one, and even got a wave of draft picks for the Timberwolves, but the management has so many chips. Playing it up, year after year, he is still mixed with high-ranking picks at the bottom of the league.

The third pick goes to the Jazz.

This result is also normal. As far as the troubles of this season are concerned, the rebuilding of the Jazz is inevitable.

And it was only halfway through that they decided to play badly, so it's not bad to have a No. [-] pick.

The New York team has a good record in the regular season this year, second in the East and third in the league, so they got a No. 20 seventh pick in the first round.

There is also a 60th overall pick in the second round.

Regarding the use of these two picks, Downey also specifically asked Yi Jianlian for his opinion.

"We're missing a number one, and we're missing some shooters!"

According to his feelings in the playoffs, Yi Jianlian pointed out the two most lacking points of the team.

And he is familiar with the future, knowing that in the future, the league will only play faster and more outside, so three-pointers are essential, but at present, in the team, except for him, there is no one who can be said to be able to shoot three-pointers at critical moments !
"Okay, I got it! Yi, we will work hard to improve the team, and the draft is just the first step!"

Downey made a promise with Yi Jianlian before hanging up the phone.

This summer, Yi Jianlian's rookie contract expired, but he has already renewed his contract. For at least four years in the future, as long as there are no accidents, Yi Jianlian will be the absolute core of their Big Apple City. It has something to do with the team. Opinion, it is better to ask the new owner more!

After all, it will be Yi Jianlian who will cooperate with his teammates on the field in the future!

……

This guy still has some ability!

Yi Jianlian hung up the phone and sighed in his heart.

The original Downey also contributed to the rise of New York. Stoudemire was also brought to New York by him. He also dealt with a lot of garbage contracts. The chips are all used in the deal with the Nuggets, so New York will never fall into the quagmire again...

Of course, then again! Around 2011, if there is a chance to get Carmelo Anthony, no one will give up this opportunity!

So, it's no wonder Downey was desperate for Anthony.

But this time, the appearance of Yi Jianlian allowed Downey to make no mistakes. He got a small forward who was better than Carmelo Anthony.

After setting the core team, the next step is to sew and mend, which is much simpler.

Yi Jianlian believes this guy can do well.

He could have revealed some candidates to Downey, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't do so, not to mention whether these players would deviate from their original path because of his decision, so that they couldn't play what they should have played Come on.

Just saying that he cheated like this, the difficulty of calling a group of experts is too low!
Think of it as increasing the difficulty with yourself!

Moreover, in Yi Jianlian's view, no matter what kind of teammates, playing next to him can definitely perform better.

……

Yi Jianlian didn't ask about the rest of the matter.

The draft also started unconsciously.

Kyrie Irving became the final champion without any suspense.

The Timberwolves chose Derek Williams, the so-called NCAA LeBron guy.

The Jazz drafted Enes Kanter.

From the perspective of latecomers, the 11th draft has not escaped the curse of being the second overall pick.

Derek Williams rushed like a small tank in college, but he was too far behind in college.

The New York team worked hard for half a month, and finally selected Norris Cole and Isaiah Thomas.

Yi Jianlian knew this result from the very beginning.

Judging from the final results of the two guys, Downey's half a month's work was not in vain, Cole was once the Heat's surprise soldier, and Thomas was called the strongest 175 on the surface.

Of course, the selection of Thomas is not because of Downey's vision.

It was the 60th overall pick in the second round, and there was only one guy who could be selected!

If you can choose someone who is better than him, you probably won't choose Thomas!
Although Yi Jianlian didn't know if Downey thought so, the meaning revealed by Downey was not much different.

It's a coincidence!
The most important thing is because of what Yi Jianlian said...the team needs a No. [-] position.

Downey decided to choose Thomas.
