Just as Su Feng and McGrady were happily playing, on the afternoon of June 28, the 1995 draft was officially held in Toronto.
This is a draft with far-reaching consequences for the future, and it is also the first time that two new NBA teams - the Toronto Raptors and the Vancouver Grizzlies - have entered the draft.
Joe Smith from the University of Maryland was picked by the Golden State Warriors with the first overall pick in the first round.
Smith's skills are comprehensive, and his performance in the Warriors' rookie period is fully worthy of the title of the No. 1 pick.
The turning point for Smith came near the end of his rookie contract.
Because he disliked the Warriors too bad, Smith insisted on entering the free agency market after the end of the season under the flicker of the famous agent Fagan, and rejected the 4-year, 36 million offer made by the Warriors at that time.
In order to avoid chicken flying eggs, the Warriors traded Smith to the Philadelphia 76ers in desperation after the early contract renewal failed.
It was only when Smith arrived in Philadelphia that he found that even if you were a No. 1 overall pick, under Larry Brown, you had to kneel.
Then because the NBA was suspended, Smith was stunned after the NBA reopened the free agency market in February of the following year...
So, his agent, Fei Gen, came up with a method for him to build the plank road in the clear and darken the warehouse.
First let him sign with the Timberwolves at a 2-year, $1.75 million lower than the market price, and then secretly sign a 7-year, 86 million contract with the Timberwolves.
The direct result of this famous Yin-Yang contract is that the Timberwolves, which were originally real Timberwolves, instantly became Huskies.
Because before the lockout, the Timberwolves had completed a six-year, 126 million astronomical deal with Garnett.
So after the league discovered Smith's contract, the Timberwolves were directly deprived of their first-round picks for the next five seasons and faced a huge fine by a furious Stern.
At the same time, Smith was also ordered to become a free agent by the league.
Because during the lockout period, labor and management reached a number of agreements, the NBA's salary fraud system has become more and more perfect.
Therefore, this yin-yang contract and Garnett's sky-high contract also directly caused the Timberwolves to lose most of the team's operating space without draft picks.
And Smith, who was once the No. 1 overall pick, has since become an ordinary NBA player.
In the future, after he retires, because of bankruptcy, he can only go to TV shows to ask for help.
So intermediary, do you think you will die
If they give you a big contract, you don't want it. You have to take the risk.
To put it bluntly, the brain is really a good thing.
After Smith was drafted by the Warriors, Antonio McDyess was selected by the Clippers with the second overall pick in the first round.
Next, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jerry Stackhouse, a supporting role for the NBA protagonist, with the third overall pick in the first round.
In other words, Stackhouse's intermediary is almost 100% slapped in the face.
He sprayed Jordan and was hammered by Jordan; he wanted to educate Kobe, but he was hanged by Kobe; he wanted to compete with AI for unlimited firepower, and was directly sent away by the team; in addition, before participating in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest, he also confidently told the media , he is no worse than his junior Carter...
And then there was none, Stackhouse didn't even do star players after helping these NBA "protagonists" build confidence.
In order to avoid being slapped in the face, Stackhouse simply did the job of a role player.
And after the champion, second place, and third flower in 1995 were released one after another, the players in this session of the king rank are also ready.
The fourth pick in the first round, Rasheed Wallace was selected by the Washington Bullets.
With the fifth pick in the first round, the Timberwolves selected talented high school student Kevin Garnett.
It is worth mentioning that when ceo Garnett was selected by the Timberwolves, the Celtics vice president Jennings said like a lemon: "Kevin is the best in the NBA since Moses Malone. high school, but if he went to college, he would be more successful in the nba."
It is said that when Garnett saw this comment, he felt that the logic of Mr. Jennings was very strange.
because... ...
If he can get into college, does he need to start a school in the NBA
Before entering the NBA, Garnett felt that the world was full of malice towards him!
This is absolute sarcasm, this is absolute trash talk, this is definitely deliberately messing with my mind!
Garnett swears that he must become a trash talk expert. In the nba, he is the only one who can spray others, never let others spray him!
Cough, get down to business.
Next, the more well-known player of this class, Stoudemire, nicknamed "The Flying Squirrel", was selected by the Raptors with the seventh pick in the first round.
"Whites can fly" Brent Barry was selected by the Nuggets with the 15th pick in the first round, and Michael Finley was selected by the Suns with the 21st pick in the first round...
The others, like Bob Sulla, Donnie Marshall, Eric Snow, and others, were brought home for training by their favorite team just like Su Feng's previous life.
…
The camera returns to Orlando.
After completing the physical test for Su Feng and Maddie, the data of Su Feng and Maddie's physical test completely shocked the three trainers.
Although Su Feng's current potential value has been installed with a firewall by the 7.0 blacksmithing system, don't forget that he is only 17 years old at present.
As for Maddie, not to mention, after reading Maddie's physical test data, Mancias directly sighed: "The sky is his limit."
Of course, Mancias also found that McGrady's spine was different from the average person when he tested McGrady.
Therefore, Mancias suggested to McGrady: "I suggest that you do not gain weight too fast in the future. In addition, you must reduce the number of breakthroughs to avoid collisions."
In Su Feng's previous life, when McGrady won the scoring title in the Magic, he mainly used dry pull-up jumpers. At that time, McGrady averaged nearly 40 minutes of playing time per game. Except for occasional minor injuries, he did not suffer any major injuries.
Later, after going to the Rockets, because of the cancellation of the HC rules, McGrady's weight also increased.
Mancias is right to suggest that McGrady controls his weight, but in Su Feng's view, McGrady wants to truly avoid serious injuries, and it is not enough to control his weight and reduce breakthroughs.
In fact, the most suitable play for McGrady is health basketball.
Show your talent as much as possible in a limited time, the only way to make McGrady's career longer.
But there is no way. In the 1990s, as the star of the team, if you didn't play for about 40 minutes, in the eyes of others, you were a coward.
The main force of death is the tradition of this era.
It is worth mentioning that after a day of training, Su Feng also found Fraser on purpose.
Because through one-on-one with McGrady, Su Feng found that it was difficult for him to defend against a player who was taller and faster than him.
You must know that now Maddie has not yet mastered the magic trick. If Maddie is more accurate, Su Feng will not be able to defeat Maddie at all before the end of this holiday.
Although the strike value is very important, self-improvement is the kingly way.
If even a sophomore McGrady can't handle it, what will Su Feng do to play in the NBA
Su Feng knew that his "dribble loss" would be difficult to develop in a short period of time, so he planned to start with his best defense.
Fraser was Nash's coach in his previous life. In addition to coaching Nash's shooting, he also coached Nash's defense.
Um... ...
Although guiding Nash's defense is useless in Su Feng's view, no matter what, Su Feng believes that Fraser has his advantages.
"You mean you're having a hard time defending Tracy now?" Fraser asked curiously.
"Yes, and facing Kobe before, they had too many offensive moves, and it was difficult for me to judge their offensive intentions," Su Feng replied.
"Why don't you try taking the initiative?" Fraser said to Su Feng.
"Take the initiative?" Su Feng asked.
"Yes." Under Fraser's guidance, Su Feng quickly understood what it means to take the initiative to attack.
If Su Feng just learned the basics of "Death Coil" and "Mad Dog Defense" before, then Frazier will guide him next, which is the elite course.
For example, Fraser told Su Feng how to use the HC rules reasonably when defending players who are good at breaking through, and how to use his two hands.
For another example, Fraser also told Su Feng how to maintain a safe defensive distance.
Combining his previous defensive experience, under Frazier's guidance, Su Feng quickly realized a new defensive method.
Su Feng called this defense method "magnetic defense", or "spare tire defense".
To give a simple example, your goddess treats you as a spare tire and usually doesn't take the initiative to pay attention to you, but once she feels that you are indifferent to her, she will come up and let you continue to greet him.
This elusive relationship lies in 30 cm, because Fraser simply drew a defensive radius for Su Feng based on Su Feng's wingspan and Su Feng's lateral movement speed.
Within this range, Maddie suddenly, Su Feng retreats, and once Maddie wants to cast, Su Feng can lean on and use his wingspan to cover his face.
"The defense doesn't have to be aggressive, it doesn't have to be aggressive, because you can't defend every time.
In my opinion, as long as the opponent can be forced to consume, even if it is physical consumption, this defense will be successful. " Fraser said to Su Feng.
In the next few days, Su Feng also began to adopt this new defensive method to deal with McGrady during one-on-one with McGrady.
As a result, don't say...
Really useful.
Because Su Feng won the first victory in his heads-up career.
After countless losses and losses, Su Feng, he won!
21 to 18, looking at Maddie who was already tired, Su Feng only hated that there was no camera at this moment.
Otherwise, he must record this moment.
See, I beat Maddie, I beat Maddie!
Um... ...
Although it seems that there is nothing to be proud of to win against a guy who is a year younger than me...
But no matter what, Su Feng gained a lot of experience on the defensive end, didn't he
And when Su Feng excitedly akimbo and complained about Maddie, suddenly, in his mind...
…
