basketball scientist

Before he had time to go to Salt Lake City, the future head coach of the Jazz came to join Ke Yan!

Quinn Snyder, who looks exactly like the villain killer in the movie and is also the son-in-law of NBA coach Larry Brown (real relationship), encountered the biggest setback in his life when he was coaching the NCAA University of Missouri.

The NCAA came down to investigate illegal recruitment. Snyder was accused of illegally providing financial assistance to a player named Rich Clemons, and this accusation actually came from the player's active whistleblowing.

The cause of the incident was that Clemons was suspected of murder by choking his girlfriend's neck. He was sentenced to two years of probation.

During his imprisonment, he broke the news of many school basketball teams recruiting illegally and providing him with financial assistance, which aroused the vigilance of NCAA officials. After all, "college basketball is not linked to money", this is the rule on the surface.Although everyone secretly took care of them in violation of regulations, as long as they don't get exposed, it's fine.Once exposed, the judiciary will intervene.

The school leaders dumped Snyder for the school's reputation, and made him continue to accept subpoenas from the judicial department.The truth is, Snyder just called Clemons home for dinner at Christmas and sent him a few sets of tracksuits and shoes. . . . . .

This is nonsense. The NBA also has clear regulations. The owner cannot give money to the players in violation of the rules. After winning the Christmas game, Bass even gave the players watches!Why don't you check him out?

The accusation was dismissed, but Snyder's personal reputation was greatly affected, and the relationship with the school also cracked. After resigning, he thought about coming to the NBA to try.It just so happened that the Eagles were recruiting, so Snyder came to try.

Only this kind of "bad word of mouth" people are willing to come to Ke Yan's side!

Like Ke Yan, Snyder is also a typical academic head coach. Unlike the "crazy" in Ke Yan's bones, if you want to use a label to hit Snyder, it may be "balanced".

Different philosophies do not mean that you cannot learn from each other's strengths to make up for your weaknesses. Just like Ke Yan, although he wants to fight and run, he doesn't just care about his head and don't care about his back. He only wants to attack and not defend.After briefly discussing basketball tactics, Ke Yan was very satisfied with Snyder's level, and immediately made a recommendation to Larry Sander, bringing Snyder closer to his team.

"Quinn also has his own set of methods for training, and you can communicate more at that time." Ke Yan said to Hamblen.

"Yeah! He's really good!"

Snyder's joining will not affect Keyan's trip to Salt Lake City.The next day, Keyan came to Salt Lake City. After calling Hornacek, he came to the other party's home.

A friend came from afar, and Hornacek and his wife warmly welcomed Keyan into the house.Salt Lake City is a small and quiet city, where everyone lives peacefully. There are no nightclubs, no bars, and even no parties at night. Except for some regular friends, visiting from outsiders is very special.

"Kimi, I didn't expect you to make a special trip. I watched the game between the Lakers and the Spurs this year. You almost led the team to overthrow the Spurs." Hornacek praised sincerely.

Ke Yan said sternly: "That's because you rejected me in the middle of the season. If you were here, I think you can provide me with some new ideas. I am really not convinced that I lost this round of the series!"

"Why do you think I can help you?" Hornacek laughed.

"Because you have spent many years under the pick-and-roll system that Jerry Sloan has studied for decades. Having the influence of a famous coach is a very high starting point in itself. Although I often say that I am a disciple of old Nelson, he It has brought me a lot of influence, but in fact he has never taught me anything except for complimenting me in the media, and I have studied it by myself." Ke Yan smiled wryly, and then said, "In my In small ball science, 'blocking' and 'breaking' are also very deep courses, I hope you will study with me."

Hornacek pointed to the little doll-like loli in his arms, and said with a smile: "But I promised my family to stay in Salt Lake City before she goes to college. You see, she is only 10 years old and still in elementary school , I want to be here with her, hold a parent-teacher meeting for her or something."

Little Loli looked at Ke Yan curiously, blinking her big eyes.There are no Chinese in Salt Lake City, and Ke Yan looks different from anyone she has ever seen.

"If you think about Abby, you should think about leaving Salt Lake City." Ke Yan had studied Hornacek a long time ago and knew that he cared about his daughter the most, so he started with his daughter!

"With all due respect, the interpersonal relationship in Salt Lake City is a little too cold. It is completely different from other places in the United States." Ke Yan said, "Abby can go to elementary school and middle school in Salt Lake City, so she will still be in Salt Lake City. Going to college? Will she stay in Salt Lake City to work after graduation? One day, she will have to adapt to other cities in the United States."

"Actually, you don't plan to stay in Salt Lake City for the rest of your life and make Abby believe in religion, do you?"

Hornacek was somewhat persuaded. Just because Abby was born in Salt Lake City and is now more accustomed to life in Salt Lake City, does she have to stay in Salt Lake City?

Just Atlanta, the capital of the South. . . . . .It takes some courage to go from a white city to a black capital.

"I need to discuss it with my family before making a decision."

Hornacek's heart has been shaken. The most important point is that Ke Yan shattered the biggest obsession in his mind. To be a good father, the way to accompany his daughter to grow up is not only to accompany and protect her, but also to let her get in touch with the world. .

"I'm waiting for your news, call me!"

Ke Yan and Hornacek shook hands vigorously, and then Abby also extended his hand to Keyan.

"Hehe~" Ke Yan shook hands with Little Lolita, and patted his head, "Abby, see you in Atlanta~"

. . . . . .

Hornacek's side is sure, and with Quinn Snyder, Ke Yan's right-hand man has been formed.Sander also brought good news to Keyan, and Joe Johnson made progress.

Although Joe Johnson and Nash's backcourt partner is quite invincible on the offensive end, the Suns have too much salary pressure to renew Joe Johnson.

The contracts of Marion and Nash are over 5 million, and Stoudemire will renew his contract this offseason, which must be a maximum salary.If the team gives Joe Johnson another big contract, the next salary will explode!Boss Robert Savor is only willing to offer Joe Johnson a five-year, 4500 million contract.It is impossible for Joe Johnson to agree to this price.

In addition to the conflict between Stoudemire and Joe Johnson in the Western Conference finals, Joe Johnson has made up his mind to leave the team.His principle is that the highest price wins.

In this year's free agent market, the most watched shooting guard is Ray Allen, who was at the peak of his career last season.There are Reid, Larry Hughes, etc. behind, and Joe Johnson is probably ranked fourth, mainly because his data last season was only 17 points per game, and he was obtained under the Suns' running and bombing system.

The Eagles skipped the top three picks and directly pursued Joe Johnson, offering a four-year, 4 million offer.Joe Johnson asked for 5200 million in five years, not only for a high salary, but also forcing the Eagles to sign with the Suns.

"A five-year contract can be given. Joe Johnson is definitely not a contract-year player. I can call Michael to discuss the signing and replacement. But in terms of price, you have to press down. His market is not so good!" Ke Yan emphasized.

Larry Sander originally wanted to give a 4-year contract, which just covered Paul's rookie contract, so as to avoid too much salary pressure on the team's guard line.But since Ke Yan has ensured that this person will not know water, then give him a five-year contract.

After a lot of wrangling, the two sides reached an agreement on a 5-year 6900 million, fully guaranteed contract. Joe Johnson is in the bag, and the Eagles are about to form the strongest backcourt combination in the league.

(I won’t write about the role of the agent in detail, it’s purely watery)

After Joe Johnson himself is settled, the next step is to reach a sign-and-swap agreement with the Suns.The Eagles need to pay a little chip to the Suns.

It's not that Joe Johnson left something for his old club. It's purely that only by signing and changing can Joe Johnson get a five-year contract.

"Hi, hello, Mike, how are you doing?" Ke Yan started with a greeting as soon as the call was made.

"Hello, Kimi! There is a lot of movement in the Eagles!" There is no secret in this circle. Hornacek is an assistant coach that many teams look up to, and everyone knows about Snyder's NCAA. .

"You're still laughing at me! When I recruit an assistant coach, I have to visit the door in person. I'm not like you, I'll go for an interview with just one gesture!" Ke Yan also joked with D'Antoni.

"Haha, I'll recruit again now, are you still here?" D'Antoni replied, and then changed the subject, "If you have anything to do with me, tell me."

"It's about Joe Johnson. How about it, we need to do a sign and change, what do you think?"

"..." D'Antoni was silent for a moment, obviously a little unhappy about this topic, "Should the general manager discuss this matter?"

Ke Yan clicked his tongue: "There is no need to play this game between you and me, right? Let me make it clear, I have to keep Boris Dior and Josh Smith, and everyone else can talk about it."

"The lineup I f*cked up with great difficulty is all gone, protruding (******)." D'Antoni swears angrily.

It's not aimed at Ke Yan. Joe Johnson will give it to everyone. The Eagles are at least in the East, and they don't have the strength to break out of the East in the short term. It's better than staying in the West.

"Aren't most teams like this?" The Lakers and the Knicks are the only ones who can afford to pay the luxury tax without hesitation.The Mavericks and Trail Blazers count as half. If the team has a hope of competing for the championship, the owner will be more willing to spend money. Other teams are more stingy.

. . . . . .

At 6:28 p.m. on June 7, the 05 draft officially began at Madison Square Garden.President Stern stood on the front desk of the draft and said the opening remarks that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2005 NBA Draft."

"This is going to be a star-studded draft, and these young guys have a chance to be the future of the league along with the NBA legends on the screen behind me."

"..."

"Now I announce that the 2005 NBA Draft has officially started!"

As Stern's words fell, the players and their families burst into applause.

Learn literature and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family.I have practiced hard for so many years, just to enter the NBA one day and make a lot of money!

The Bucks boss Reid was the first to take the stage and submit their selection.

"The 2005st overall pick in the 1 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Andrew Bogou! He is from Australia and plays for the University of Utah!"

After his words fell, there was a neat but not enthusiastic applause at the scene, which was the expected result.

Bogou hugged his relatives and friends one by one, took a photo with David Stern on the stage, and then put on the green hat of the Bucks.

"The 2005nd overall pick in the 2 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected Chris Paul! He's from North Carolina and played for Wake Forest!"

"COMEON!" Paul shouted excitedly.

Before the draft, he had already received a promise from the Eagles and would join the Eagles.But the dream of joining the NBA has become a reality, and Paul still couldn't stop his excitement.

Considering that the following Salt Lake City, New Orleans, and Charlotte are all small cities, for Paul, it is really not bad to be able to come to the Eagles as the second pick.

Although the Eagles are weak, don't high-ranking rookies enter the league to go to weak teams?He was already mentally prepared!

The Eagles took Paul, and the Jazz breathed a sigh of relief.They got the third overall pick at any cost, not for the "second generation of Malone" Marvin Williams, Deron Williams from the University of Illinois is their goal.

Deron is 191cm tall and weighs 91kg. He is a very strong tank point guard. His breakthrough, shooting, and organization are not bad. He is still Paul's nemesis.

For other coaches, if Deron is really chosen, the Jazz will have no problem. Even if the deal fails, Deron can survive.It's just that Ke Yan is the only one who can't do it. He wants to run and run in the new season. Deron's ability is fine, but his knees can't stand it.After a few years of tossing, the meniscus will have to be replaced.

The original No. [-] favorite, Marvin Williams, fell all the way down and was selected by the Hornets with the fourth overall pick, looking unhappy.The Hornets failed to pick Paul like in history, and they are still very happy. Marvin Williams' potential is very promising, and if he develops it well, he may really become the team leader.

The Bobcats, holding the fifth overall pick, urgently need to strengthen their point guards. The goal is to choose one of the top three point guards.Jordan's North Carolina junior Felton finally came to this position and will become the Bobcats' main point guard in the new season.

The Trail Blazers, who traded the No. 201 pick and missed the three outstanding point guards, selected the swingman Webster with the sixth overall pick.He is 107cm tall, weighs 3kg, and has a strong body. He is a typical [-]D player, but he is also a qualified starter with an average upper limit.

The Raptors chose the hairless hero Villanueva with the seventh pick. Carter's departure did not leave the Raptors with any suitable bargaining chips. They were short of people at various positions, but they chose Villanueva, who overlapped with Bosh. Newa, this operation is really incomprehensible.

The Knicks with the eighth pick chose Channing Frye, a tall but thin insider with one-handed shooting. He participated in the draft in his senior year and has little potential.

The Warriors chose Hongyuan star Diogu with the ninth overall pick. It is obviously a team that is going to run and bomb. It is incomprehensible to choose such an insider.

The Kings chose Spanish insider Fran Vazquez with the [-]th overall pick, a player who had played in Europe all his life and had never landed in the NBA.He is not the kind of strong man, but "I just don't like the NBA" kind of strong man, he is just a dish, and the Spanish national team can't even get into it.

Andrew Bynum, whom Ke Yan paid close attention to, was selected by the Magic with the No.11 pick. In the Magic, it can only be Howard's substitute."

"Didn't you fight and run? Why do you want a center?" Sander was a little puzzled.

please!The lottery show, the asking price will definitely not be low, okay?

"This kind of insider has been cultivated, and the transaction value is very high!"

Why do you need to trade after you have been trained?

After receiving Sander's call, the general manager of the Magic, Wes Broad, hesitated for a while, and politely proposed his goal: "Josh Smith!"

"Excuse me~" Seeing Ke Yan shaking his head, Sander hung up the phone.

Even if Ke Yan wanted to train Bynum, he would make him a substitute and make a plan B. In the future, he would be packaged and replaced by a superstar, so that he would not affect his foundation of running and bombing.

The Bobcats selected Sean May, the core of the NCAA championship team, for the second lottery pick. He made 11 of 10 shots in the final and scored 26 points and 10 rebounds.The advantage is mature technology, the disadvantage is short height, average explosive power, and potential injuries.

Granger, who Ke Yan paid close attention to, joined the Pacers with the 17th overall pick. In fact, Granger perfectly fits Ke Yan's running and bombing tactics as a small forward, defending, three-pointers, running without the ball, and his technical maturity is very high!It's just that Ke Yan has no bargaining chip in his hand to exchange for a draft pick!

Being promoted to the sixth record in the Western Conference by Ke Yan, the Lakers had no chance to select Bynum. Kupchak followed Phil Jackson's advice and selected coolie insider Mark Hill, directly cutting away the original draft target of the Pistons.

Sander took advantage of the opportunity to get in touch with Dumars, who couldn't find the north, and sent the team's No. 31 pick and No. 60 pick, the second round of next season, a cash compensation of 50 US dollars, and got the No. 26 pick from the Pistons. No. [-] first-round pick.

"The 2005th pick in the first round of the 26 NBA draft, the Atlanta Hawks selected David Lee! He's from Missouri and played for the University of Florida!"

It is equivalent to saying that the Eagles used two second rounds plus a sum of cash to increase their 31st pick to 26th pick, just for David Lee.Sander felt a bit at a loss, but Ke Yan knew that this was a very safe choice.

And the 60th pick sent by the Eagles. . . . . .Isn't it the same as nothing?It is roughly equivalent to using the second round of next season to increase this season's draft pick by 5 picks, and get David Lee, so it is not a loss.

Although David Lee is also a player with "data greater than function", his offensive skills are really gorgeous. He can shoot with both hands, has excellent footwork, has no blind spots in offensive skills, and is very good at rebounding.And he is also an instant combat power, able to fight when he comes.

In the end, he looked good too, and in the future he married the Danish sweetheart Wozniacki who is in love.

Since then, the work of the Eagles in this year's draft has been completed, and they have harvested two first-round picks, and the future can be expected.
