Chapter 78 Celtics’ Trade Target! Jersey Storm!
Celtics get the No. 1 pick!
What that means, fans in front of the TV really couldn’t be more clear.
Gu Yu is going to Boston!
Tony, who was sitting in front of the TV, also started to get excited at this time.
“Gu! The Celtics got the No. 1 pick! You’re going to be No. 1-draft soon!
“What’s a champion? My next year might be a champion too.”
Although Paul on the side was jealous, he still didn’t want to be compared by Gu Yu.
Roy was helpless.
How much does Ning want to win against Gu Yu?
Gu Yu’s talent is simply not from the earth.
What is Ning doing compared to him?
Gu Yu saw this scene, although he had expected it, he was very happy at this time.
But at the same time happy, it also means stress!
He made it very clear when he decided.
He went to the Celtics to be the core and to revive the Celtics.
Revive the NBA’s No. 1 Giants!
Coupled with the heat of Gu Yu’s decision before.
At this point, the traffic on Gu Yu had exploded.
Next season, even now, the media’s attention has been drawn.
And more attention often means more harshness!
It’s conceivable next season if Gu Yu doesn’t play well.
Maybe the media will be ridiculed.
The media may not have deliberately targeted Gu Yu, but no one is going to have a hard time with money.
At the same time, Gu Yu also began to look forward to the next professional basketball career in the NBA.
“I’m already looking forward to next season!”
Tony also envied at this time: “I’m not looking forward to next season, I’m going to start going back and forth to the major teams in early June to start trial training!
Tony according to the original history, he was selected by the Celtics.
But in the original history, Tony did not win the NCAA Championship.
Maybe Tony’s ranking has risen at this time, so Gu Yu didn’t speak at this time, and told Tony that we should still be on the same team.
On the other side, the dust settled with the number one pick.
Cardinal and Angie also began to deal with the Celtics at this time.
Angie watched as Gu Yu gave him the names on the list.
Asked to the cardinal: “Teacher, are we really going to trade for him like this list Gu Yu gave us?”
“Players like Shane Battier are really good, but the Grizzlies may not be willing to let people go, and I really don’t see anything worth trading for others.”
The cardinal didn’t speak, he took the list in front of Angie’s table and began to look at it.
Sean Shane.
Raja Bell.
Stephen Jackson.
Boris Dior.
Memet Okur.
There are no All-Star players on this list.
Either blue collar or rookie.
In fact, Gu Yu never thought about the Big Three.
In the original history, whether it was the Celtics Big Three, the Heat Big Three or the Cavaliers Big Three, all-star players made sacrifices.
Junzilei has completely turned into an off-ball shooter.
Bosh became a wave of a board.
Lok Fu is no longer the two pairs of machines it used to be.
The Celtics have him, and Pierce, and they’re getting some role players, rather than being specific, Gu Yu thinks it’s more appropriate.
“Interestingly, Gu Yu is really starting to build a team with himself as the core now, so he picked some role players.
“He told me before that he wanted to form a team with Kobe, so it seems that he said it casually.”
“But since I promised Gu Yu a certain right to speak to him before, then according to the players on this list, let’s get him two as helpers!
The Cardinals came to a conclusion while flipping through the profiles of players on the roster.
Angie was stunned for a moment, and then asked: “Teacher, shall we continue to clear the salary space?”
“Why not? Keep cleaning up! Kobe and Shaq’s farce will definitely have an outcome in the summer.”
“If the Lakers can win the championship, it’s okay to say, as long as they lose in the finals, conflicts will inevitably erupt, and then our chance will come! 35
“As for whether Gu Yu wants to team up with Kobe, it’s a small matter. As long as Kobe can come to the Celtics, plus Paul and Gu Yu, the championship will come.”5
The Celtics’ salary space at this time naturally cannot directly sign Kobe Bryant.
But the cardinal has already started to discuss various transactions through his own contacts.
At this time, among the Celtics, there are quite a few good trading chips.
Like Ricky Davis.
Because it hindered James’ growth, he was sent directly to Boston by the Cavaliers management.
Ricky Davis was a potential All-Star in his prime.
In order to put the Celtics star Pierce high on the free card.
Although Ricky Davis led Chucky Atkins, Reeve LaFrentz and other players to keep losing, but the statistics are really good.
Plus the cardinal came out at this time.
Former disciples, such as Mavericks head coach Sr. Nelson, Timberwolves general manager McHale, etc., can still not buy his account?
Except for Gu Yu and Paul Pierce, the entire Celtics are basically in the Cardinal’s trading range.
After dealing with part of the transaction, the Cardinals then began to think about the problem of the head coach.
“Danny, do you have any thoughts on the head coach of the junior season?”
The Celtics head coach last season was fired by Ainge long ago. In the original history, Rivers became the new head coach of the Celtics.
“There are two candidates, but an interview may be required.”
“Well, I’ll take a look with you during your interview.”
After discussing about the head coach of the new season, the cardinal called the former disciple.
“Teacher, I know what you mean by calling, give Gu Yu my jersey!
“Jones, I thank you for Gu Yu for this.”
As the No. 1 giant in the NBA, the Celtics are no joke.
The Celtics’ No. 25 jersey has been retired, and he belongs to a Celtics legend K.C. Jones.
When it comes to this name, most fans have never heard of it.
Far less famous than ‘Lord of the Rings’ Bill Russell, ‘Big Bird’ Larry Bird, and ‘Cardinal’ Arnold Auerbach.
K.C. Jones is also a Hall of Famer.
In his career, he won eight championships with “Lord of the Rings” Bill Russell.
After retiring, Jones became the head coach of the Celtics under Larry Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale.
During his tenure as the head coach of the NBA team, Jones won 522 regular-season games, with a winning percentage of 67.4%.
Jones was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1989.
Jones won a total of 12 championships in his lifetime: 8 as a player; 2 as an assistant coach; and 2 as a head coach.
The Celtics also retired No. 25 for Jones.
Although Gu Yu did not mention the jersey to the Cardinals, the Cardinals also chose the No. 25 jersey for Gu Yu in his college days.
After the jersey is retired, normally, it will not continue to be used.
But as long as the original owner agrees, you can continue to use it.
For example, Aldridge joined the Spurs, but the No. 12 jersey had been retired at that time. After getting the consent of Bruce Bowen, Aldridge put on the No. 12 jersey.
And the news soon spread to the outside world.
In order to gain popularity, some media directly began to stand up and sing the opposite.
What? Gu Yu doesn’t respect celebrities and insists on wearing their jerseys.
The Celtics forced the star to give up his number to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu should re-select the number.
One of the most vocal critics of Gu Yu was Los Angeles Times columnist McCarthy Samantha.
Directly attack Gu Yu with the title “Celtics respect Gu Yu, but Gu Yu doesn’t respect Celtic legends”.
In the article, why should Gu Yu not pass on the No. 25 jersey, how disrespectful it is to the famous star.
Gu Yu, who was training, was also confused at this time.
I don’t seem to have said, how many numbers do I want to choose?
However, Gu Yu also guessed it, and there is no one else who can make the Celtic famous be willing to give up the number, only the cardinal!
Immediately, he ignored it and continued to train with Joe Abbasa.
“Gu, your learning ability is very strong, and the back-to-back technique has been developed initially, but you still need to continue to practice more, I will now give you some other suggestions.
In fact, it is not difficult for any NBA player to practice a technique.
Take jumpers for example, let alone NBA players, even on the field, aren’t there people who can do it?
Gu Yu’s biggest Gold Finger is that the system will give these skills extra bonuses, so these skills will become very powerful.
“Your physical talent is excellent, you have excellent jumping and speed, plus the advantage of your wingspan, which allows you to have no blocked jumpers in the NCAA period.”
“Your outstanding talent, even in the NBA, is difficult to be blocked by opponents, but if you can’t block you, it doesn’t mean you can’t deal with you.
“Therefore, you need to protect yourself and avoid being stepped on. Kobe is the best at this, and he can be safe in the face of Bruce Bowen.”
・・・・Seeking flowers・・・
Joe Abbas saw that Gu Yu was almost training, and at this time he also gave his advice to Gu Yu NBA.
If the NCAA is college basketball without money, it’s pure and beautiful.
Then the NBA is commercial basketball linked to money.
Bruce Bowen is part of the NBA in miniature.
Players like Bowen exist in many teams in the NBA.
Like future scum.
Even a thousand-win coach like George Karl once did something to want Iguodala to abolish Curry.
“I see, I’ll take care of that.”
Gu Yu nodded, knowing that Joe Abbasa’s suggestion was fine, and he really had to pay attention to avoid getting kicked.
“In addition, there is another point, that is, Gu, your current defense is too clean, I suggest you learn from Chris.
“I’m not saying that cleanliness is bad, but I think when you’re defending, it’s better to add some confrontation.”
This is the case in this era, advocating iron-blooded defense and confrontation.
Kobe has a nickname like “Los Angeles Malone”, it can be seen that the defense of this era is actually not clean.
At least in terms of confrontation, it is quite normal to give you an elbow or two for nothing.
When Gu Yu was training, the outside world was talking more and more.
Eventually, the Lord of the Rings came forward in person.
“Don’t say Gu Yu wears a size 25, it’s my jersey, as long as Gu Yu wants to wear it, you can take it off at any time!”
“Gu Yu is the future of the Celtics, not to mention wearing a jersey, or changing a number every season, the Celtics will not have any opinion! 39
The Lord of the Rings’ remarks instantly dissipated the outside world without a trace.
After all, Celtic celebrities don’t have their own opinions, what else can others say?
It wasn’t until the beginning of June that everything came to an end.
Tony is going to a trial training, Gu Yu is also preparing to start the vacation, and the training camp has come to an end temporarily.
In early July, Gu Yu and Dayao will return to China to participate in the men’s basketball training camp, and will play in the Olympic Games in August.
June is basically the same as Gu Yu’s last vacation.
At this time, Gu Yu also took his parents to a beautiful home.
As the undisputed No. 1 pick, Gu Yu can naturally enter the small green house.
Small green house, this is a special term in the United States sports draft.
In the NBA draft, the players who receive the official invitation to enter the draft small green room are generally selected through the vote of the general manager of the NBA team.
In the end, it was decided by league vice president Stu Jackson based on the selection intentions of the teams holding various high-level picks before the draft.
Players who enter the small green house can be accompanied by relatives and friends at the draft site.
Before the start of the draft, Gu Yu was going to take a trip to the beautiful home with his parents who were going abroad for the first time.
Director Zhang also started to contact Gu Yu early on.
Dayao was not there during the draft.
Gu Yu is the first player from the flower family to enter the draft of the Little Green House in a real sense, so Guidance Zhang will also broadcast the whole process.
After having a good time with my parents.
June 24.
Gu Yu got on a plane to the Knicks with his parents.
This year’s draft, as usual, is still at Madison Square Garden.
NBA officials have also booked hotels for the rookies who are running for the election, which naturally does not include family members.
After a night’s rest, Gu Yu changed into a suit prepared in advance and walked into Madison Square Garden with his parents.
After Gu Yu arrived, he was arranged by the staff to the small green house.
Gu Yu’s table is very close to the stage, just below the stage.
After Gu Yu sat down, the staff also explained to Gu Yu the process of the draft and the location of the bathroom.
The Emeka Okafor family was sitting at the table next to Gu Yu.
When Okafor saw Gu Yu sitting next door, his face darkened instantly.
After all, Gu Yu killed the Huskies on his head!
What made Okafor even more uncomfortable was that he became the background board again.
Before the draft starts, a big screen in the center of the stage will broadcast the highlights of the players.
The first to play is of course Gu Yu’s.
Buckle David Harrison.
The battle axe dunks in the fast break.
And facing Okafor in the finals, he hit a lore shot!
It is also fortunate that Okafor has a good ability to bear in his heart, otherwise he would have started greeting the whole family of staff now.
