Chapter 178 Stormy Draft Conference(1/2)

On June 4, the first game of the Finals between the Lakers and Celtics officially started at Staples Arena.

Kobe's efficiency was good, scoring 30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.

In games where Nao Nao plays efficiently, it is difficult for the Lakers to lose.

Moreover, Kobe also has a perfect second-in-command in Pau Gasol.

He played very well in this game, scoring a double-double of 23 points and 14 rebounds, and was an absolute contributor to the team's victory.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Celtics 102-89 and got a good start in the finals.

After the first game of the Finals, Lakers fans were ecstatic and said that the Lakers would win the final championship.

On June 6, the second game of the NBA Finals will continue at Staples Arena.

Ray Allen showed off his prowess in this game, making 8 of 11 three-pointers, setting a single-game three-point record in the Finals.

He scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in the game, leading the Celtics to win the game and tie the total score at 1-1.

The Celtics were able to win the game, and Rondo also contributed a lot.

In this game, he scored a triple-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. It was the first time in his career that he had a triple-double in the finals.

After the second game of the Finals, Celtics fans stood tall and said that the Celtics would defeat the Lakers and win the championship just like they did in 2008.

Just as the finals were in full swing, the Warriors owner's sale of the team, which fans were more concerned about, finally came to an end.

Joe Lacob teamed up with his partner, Guber, the founder of Mandalay Films, to spend $600 million to acquire the Warriors.

Lacob has been an avid basketball fan since he was very young. Like all children who love basketball, he dreams of one day owning an NBA team of his own.

He finally waited for this day, successfully acquired the Warriors, became the owner of the team, and fulfilled his childhood dream.

But Lacob was not satisfied with this. He wanted to build the Warriors into a team as great as the Celtics.

After he became the owner of the Warriors, he immediately reorganized the Warriors management.

First, promote Warriors general manager Larry Riley to the team's president of basketball affairs and hire Bob Myers as the team's general manager.

After that, he spent a lot of effort to invite Jerry West, the man with the logo, to join the Warriors' management, serving as a team consultant and becoming a member of the Warriors' executive committee.

As for other aspects, no major adjustments have been made.

After forming the core management team, Nelson, Jerry West, Bob Myers and others began to discuss the next draft and offseason team reinforcement plan.

After the Warriors' ownership change came to an end, fans refocused their attention on the Finals.

On June 8, the third game of the finals started at the North Shore Garden Team.

The result of this game was once again unexpected.

After the Celtics returned to their home court, they failed to pursue the victory and win the game. Instead, the team was in a sluggish state and lost the game.

In this game, Kobe scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Although Naochi's shooting percentage is a bit low, his contribution on the defensive end is indispensable, which can be regarded as making up for it.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Celtics 91-84, leading the total score 2-1.

On June 10, the fourth game of the finals will still be played at the North Shore Garden Team.

Although Kobe Bryant scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in this game, the Lakers still lost.

The Celtics relied on their strong defense and six members of the team scored in double figures. They won the game with difficulty and tied the total score at 2-2.

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain that followed was extremely tense between the two sides.

Kobe's comprehensive statistics of 38 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists could not help the team win.

In the end, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 92-86, taking a 3-2 lead with a total score and winning the match point.

On June 15, the sixth game of the Finals returned to Staples Arena.

In this game, Kobe Bryant once again scored a game-high 26 points, leading the Lakers to an 89-67 victory over the Celtics, leveling the total score at 3-3 and heading into the tiebreaker.

After seeing the Lakers win Game 6 of the Finals, David Stern finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This year's finals helped the NBA gain a lot of ratings and made the league a lot of money.

The ratings will definitely increase significantly from the finals to the tie-break.

On June 17, Game 7 of the Finals was played again at Staples Arena.

Kobe performed poorly in this game, shooting 6 of 24 from the field and scoring a game-high 23 points, but he made up for it by grabbing 15 rebounds.

Gasol scored a double-double of 19 points and 18 rebounds, and was the biggest contributor to the victory.

In the end, the Lakers narrowly defeated the Celtics 83-79, eliminated the Celtics with a total score of 4-3, and won the championship.

Kobe got his wish and won the second FMVP trophy in his career.

At this point, the 2009-10 season has officially come to an end!





On June 24, the 2010 NBA Draft officially kicked off at Madison Square Garden.

Sun Yi took a break from his busy schedule and squeezed out time to watch the draft in his apartment.

On the TV screen, after NBA Commissioner David Stern made the same opening remarks, the draft officially began.

The Washington Wizards, holding the No. 1 pick, did not hesitate and directly selected John Wall.

In the scouting report, Wall's draft template is Marbury and Rose. The lower limit is not low, and they are proper All-Star embryos.

Next, the Nets, who got the second pick, selected Evan Turner.

If Turner is not an older draft pick, he is likely to be the No. 1 pick in this year's draft.

This guy has made a name for himself in the NCAA, and his popularity is at its peak. He has won a grand slam of important individual awards from American universities in 2010, and has accumulated many honors.

Although Turner failed to play well in the NBA, he was not considered second place in the rankings. The Nets could only accept this cruel reality with tears.

Immediately afterwards, the Digital People selected DeMarcus Cousins ​​with the third overall pick.

Cousins' performance in this year's March Madness was remarkable and helped Davidson College defend the NCAA championship.

Although this guy is simple-minded, he is extremely talented and has great potential. It is a matter of course that he can be selected with the second overall pick.

After selecting Cousins, the Numbers Team will definitely take off next season.

He has Holiday and Iguodala on the outside, and Captain Brand and Cousins ​​on the inside.

Such a starting lineup is indeed luxurious enough, and there are also strong players such as Lou Williams, Thaddeus Young, Hawes, and Speights on the bench.

After seeing the selection of the Digital Team, Sun Yi silently mourned for Lao Zhan in his heart.

It is conceivable that if James wants to break out of the Eastern Conference next season, he will definitely lose a layer of skin.

"The NBA is becoming more and more interesting, and facing unknown things is challenging."

Sun Yi didn't think much and continued to watch the draft.

Afterwards, the Timberwolves selected Wesley Johnson with the fourth overall pick.

With the fifth pick, the Kings selected Derrick Favors.

Now comes the key point!

With the sixth overall pick, the Los Angeles Clippers selected small forward Kawhi Leonard from Davidson College.

In this year's March Madness, Leonard led Davidson College to defend the NCAA championship, and his college career was considered complete.

Moreover, his draft prediction ranking on the authoritative website entered the lottery area, so he did not stay in school for another year and signed up for the draft in advance.

According to the scouting report, Leonard's draft template is Sun Yi, but except for his similar figure to Sun Yi, he cannot be compared with Sun Yi in other aspects. He is just like a weakened version of Sun Yi.

Therefore, Leonard's prospects are not favored by scouts, and he is expected to be selected at the end of the lottery.

The Clippers' ability to select Leonard with the sixth overall pick is considered a gamble.

Last year they missed Sun Yi with the No. 1 pick, and they regretted it very much. This year they will not miss the "weakened version of Sun Yi" again.

In front of the TV, Sun Yi felt bad after seeing the Clippers drafting Leonard.

If the Clippers trade Chris Paul next year to form a Paul, Griffin and Leonard combination, then the Clippers will really become an aircraft carrier.

"It's really difficult to break out of this devilish division in the Western Conference!"

It's hard for Sun Yi to imagine what the Western Conference will be like in the next few seasons.

"Hey! This is not something I should consider. Let the management have a headache!" Sun Yi did not worry about it and continued to watch the draft.

With the seventh overall pick, the Detroit Pistons selected Greg Monroe.

With the eighth pick, the Utah Jazz selected Gordon Hayward.

With the ninth pick, the Indiana Pacers selected Paul George.

After Sun Yi saw George being voted away, he secretly thought it was a pity.

During this period, the reorganized Warriors management held many meetings and discussions, and finally decided to focus on Sun Yi as the core of the team and carry out recruitment and selection work based on the characteristics of his playing style.
