NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Chapter 308 Another year before the draft

The long season is finally over.

The Bobcats got the championship as they wished.

Zhou Yao also won his second most valuable player award in the finals.

"Next season, how about changing the name of this award?"

After receiving the trophy from David Stern, Zhou Yao whispered.

"Oh? Change your name?"

Every time an award is presented, there will be a chat or two with the recipient.

It's just that Zhou Yao suddenly made such an opinion.

"you know too."

"Jordan is the player who has won the most awards."

"However, the one who won the most championships is the older generation Bill Russell."

"Besides, there was no such award at that time."

"The old man has worked so hard for so many years and won 11 championships."

"But there is not even a FMVP."

"Thinking about it carefully, there are still some unreasonable things."

"What I mean is, it's better to name this award after the old man."

"It would be even better if the old man can be invited to present the awards in person."

"It doesn't cost much."

"It can show the past glory of the league."

"At the same time, it is also an additional income for the old man."

"It reflects the league's care for those veterans who have worked hard for the league in the past."

"Why not do it."

"It can also help the finals attract a wave of attention!"

Everything else doesn't matter.

But it can help the finals attract attention.

David Stern is still interested.

Of course, he wouldn't implement it as soon as Zhou Yao said it.

He has to go back and find a professional to evaluate the pros and cons.

If it is indeed feasible, then he will not hesitate.

……

In a blink of an eye, it has been 4 years since he entered the league.

Zhou Yao's rookie contract has also expired.

During these 4 years.

Zhou Yao scored 80 triple-doubles.

Rookie of the Year first team, Rookie of the Year.

6 weeks is best, 4 months is best.

The All-Star came off the bench 1 time and started 2 times.

3 first defenses, 1 second formation, 1 first formation.

2 DPOYs.

3 times in steals, 2 in assists, 1 in rebounds, and 1 in points.

2 FMVPs, 1 MVP.

With such achievements, the team will naturally not treat him badly.

As for those who were waiting to grab Zhou Yao in the free agent market, they also gave up early.

However, the alliance naturally has its own rules.

Zhou Yao signed a three-year contract worth $3 million.

It is already the highest salary he can get.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that Zhou Yao did not seek to sign a long-term contract.

But only for 3 years.

"This kid also relies on his youth and has no scruples!"

"Isn't he afraid of the almost devastating injury he experienced before?"

"You know, he won't be so lucky to fully recover every time."

The media expressed their incomprehension to Zhou Yao's choice.

As a media person, Barkley scoffed at this idea.

Zhou Yao is still in the league because he really loves basketball.

Otherwise, with his net worth, wouldn't it be good to go home and be his capitalist?

In other words, Barkley is still working in TV.

It's also because it's a basketball-related job.

In the past two years, Barkley's worth has also skyrocketed.

He made far more money from investing than he made from playing basketball.

TNT gave him a salary of 450 million a year.

When he was still playing basketball, he could already rank as the third highest salary year.

However, the reason why Barkley is still willing to stay in TNT is really out of interest.

Recently, Barkley is also planning whether to build himself such an exaggerated mansion like Jordan did.

Anyway, I have money.

……

The finals are over.

The next most important thing, of course, is the draft.

Alliance, almost everyone's eyes are on the Bobcats, to be precise, on Jordan.

Different from another world.

The Jordan of this world has been pulled to the point where nothing can be attached.

11 scoring champions, 6 MVPs, 8 championships.

This made the later chasers feel nothing but despair.

And his achievements as a boss and manager are more talked about than his achievements as a player.

In the first draft, Zhou Yao was selected with the precious No. [-] pick.

And it was chosen twice.

The blind boss of the Wizards didn't put Zhou Yao in the 8-man protection list.

It was so easy to be kidnapped by Jordan to the Bobcats.

That year, Jordan also selected undrafted Arenas.

Without Zhou Yao, Arenas is now the undisputed leader of the Wizards.

Second draft.

The few people selected are very good.

Especially Boozer who also won the best rookie.

Such a high-quality power forward is not even a lottery pick.

It can only be said that there were so many blind people in that year's draft.

Then there was last year.

Not to mention anything else, one JR is enough.

Three drafts, selected three best rookies.

Of course everyone wants to know that this year, Jordan has taken a fancy to that rookie again.

You know, the Bobcats themselves only have the No. 27 pick in the first round and the No. 56 pick in the second round this year.

However, in the trade with the Cavaliers last year, he got the Cavaliers' unprotected first-round pick.

However, the Cavaliers themselves are not up to date.

Did not make the playoffs.

The draw was very lucky.

All of a sudden, the No. 5 pick in the first round was drawn.

Already won the championship.

Even the Bobcats took the No. 5 pick in the first round.

It just doesn't make sense.

There are also many popular rookies this year.

Among them, North Carolina, which just won the championship this year, contributed 4.

Known as the North Carolina Four Young Masters.

Raymond Felton, together with Paul and Deron, are called the top three point guards in this year's draft.

It's not bad to choose Zhou Yao as a substitute.

Rashad McCants, just entered the team and won the scoring title.

In his sophomore year, he won the scoring title in the Atlantic Division.

Sean May and Marvin Williams are good strikers.

In addition, all four have participated in the Bobcats' trial training.

Of course, the Bobcats can only take one of them with the No. 5 pick in the first round.

After all, no one would believe that someone from North Carolina's Four Young Masters would fall to the No. 27 pick, or even later.

Besides, there was one person.

Almost everyone is estimated not to be selected by the Bobcats.

Chris Paul.

Even if he is selected by the Bobcats, it is estimated that he will also be traded to other teams.

If this guy played for the Bobcats, he would probably be depressed his entire career.

……

Bobcats workout.

Players come and go.

What is a little surprising is that Paul also came to try out.

Why not come?

Over the years, people have always been ridiculed.

Paul's heart is not so fragile.

Go to the weak team to become the core of the team, and go to the strong team to start slowly from the bench.

He can accept it.

With his strength, it would be strange not to enter the lottery.

Paul has this confidence.

Since the Bobcats also have a lottery pick.

Why doesn't he come and try it?

The guy named Arenas didn't start off as a substitute for Zhou Yao.

He's not the boss of the team yet.

Paul doesn't think he's worse than when Arenas first entered the league.

Moreover, this season, barring any accidents, the Bobcats are still strong contenders for the championship.

There is a championship as soon as you enter the league, so why not do it.

Isn't it also Zhou Yao's second year in the league, and he won the FMVP when he still has Jordan by his side.

Paul felt that he might not be unable to do it...
