Could the New York Knicks win the first pick?
This was a decision that the NBA management had to make.
Before the final results were out.
The New York Knicks still sent a signal to the outside world.
That was:
The team had been paying close attention to a popular team like UCLA!
The Knicks had always been paying attention to the hot champion, Wang Yan!
"As far as I know, it was James Dolan's idea.”
Stephen A. Smith said at the ESPM conference,""Before I made this decision, I thought James Dolan was an idiot.”
"But after he made this decision, I don't think he's so stupid that he's hopeless.”
As a famous mouth of ESPM.
Stephen A. Smith, who was known as America's most popular player, was a loyal New York Knicks fan.
However, the team that owned the Big Apple had never been able to usher in its own era.
Ever since James Dolan bought the New York Knicks.
Stephen A. Smith had criticized James Dolan many times.
But this time.
When Dolan expressed her concern for Wang Yan…
They even said that they would use the Garden to host the next round of the NCAA Tournament!
Stephen A. Smith had no choice but to brag about Dolan.
Why?
Because Stephen A. Smith was not only a fan of the New York Knicks, he was also a fan of Wang Yan!
This time, Nikos extended an olive branch to Wang Yan.
The two chefs were ecstatic!
"Rationally, the New York Knicks have hit rock bottom this season.”
Mike Breen, who was sitting opposite Stephen A. Smith, said,"They're ranked fourth from the bottom in the league so far this season and have the potential to be the top scorer.”
"If the Knicks really get the first pick and choose Wang Yan…"
"Stephen, can you analyze the compatibility between King and Cameron Anthony?”
There was no doubt about it.
If the Knicks could choose Wang Yan, they would form the double arrow of Wang Yan and Anthony.
But here came the problem.
Was this combination suitable?
Thinking back to the past.
Anthony paired with Allen Iverson in the denver nuggets to form the golden duo.
It looked wonderful, but the final outcome was not ideal!
"If the Knicks can really choose Wang Yan, I don't think there's a need to discuss his compatibility with Cameron.”
Stephen A. Smith said directly,""They should be thinking about how to send Cameron away in exchange for the most suitable lineup for Wang Yan.”
That's right!
You didn't hear wrongly!
According to Stephen A. Smith:
If the New York Knicks really picked Wang Yan, then what was there to do with Cameron Anthony?
Directly sending Melon away as a bargaining chip and building a team around Wang Yan was the best plan!
They were even discussing the compatibility between Wang Yan and Anthony?
Was he worthy?
With a hammer!
"Oh? Buddy, are you serious?"
Mike Brin was obviously shocked."Do you think the Knicks 'best move after getting Wang Yan is to send Cameron away?”
"That's Cameron Anthony!”
Anthony's performance last season was average and he did not lead the Knicks into the playoffs.
This season, due to injuries, he missed most of the Knicks 'games, causing the team to swoop down to the top pick.
However, Anthony's strength was still unquestionable.
He was definitely one of the top five small forwards in the league, a true All-Star starting player.
After obtaining Wang Yan, he would directly send Anthony away to seek a trade and build a team around Wang Yan?
This statement was a little too ridiculous!
"I'm talking about Cameron Anthony.”
Stephen A. Smith's expression did not change as he entered the zone.
In the following period of time, he fought Anthony hard.
What did he mean by not being able to lead the team to win the championship?
They didn't even have the chance to rush out of the east.
He came to New York for money and had no ambition in basketball at all.
Their strength was declining year by year, and they couldn't even make it into the playoffs.
This season, he even received a huge salary and was lying on a hospital bed to watch the game.
"It's time for Nix to change their boss!”
After the fierce fight, Stephen A. Smith said,""I think Wang Yan will be the next King of New York!”
He could conquer Los Angeles.
Conquer California.
Why not become the king of New York?
After the broadcast of this episode of ESPM, it instantly triggered a heated discussion on the entire Internet.
The first was the discussion about the ownership of the top scorer.
The New York Knicks, the Sixers, the Timberwolves, the Los Angeles Clippers, and even the Orlando Magic.
They were all teams that had the potential to win the first pick.
However, on the Internet.
The fans were talking about Wang Yan going to save Orlando.
When it came to the voting segment.
The support rate for Wang Yan being selected by the Knicks had reached 45%.
The number of votes that supported Wang Yan being selected by the Los Angeles Clippers was as high as 51%!
Together, the two teams received 96% support from the fans.
The other teams gathered together and split the remaining 4% of fan support.
Other than the discussion of the top scorer.
What was even more hotly discussed was what Stephen A. Smith said:
After the Knicks acquired Wang Yan, they should trade Anthony and start rebuilding around Wang Yan!
On the Internet.
On this topic, the fans were divided into two factions.
One of them was obviously against Stephen A. Smith's statement.
"Wang Yan's talent is outstanding, but he still needs to train in the Alliance!”
"Cameron will be a qualified mentor in the early stages of his career. They can work together in New York!”
"We can let Cameron lead Wang Yan in the early stages. When the time is right, Wang Yan will take over Cameron's heavy burden!”
The views of the fans who opposed Stephen A. Smith were clear.
Anthony was a star player.
He shouldn't have been sent away!
On the other hand, the fans supported Stephen A. Smith.
"Who do you think will be Wang Yan's mentor? Cameron Anthony?"
"A player with the highest honor in his career?”
"He didn't even get the first round of the best lineup. Brother, I can guarantee that Wang Yan will definitely get the first round at the same time!”
"The New York Knicks 'failure in the last two seasons is ultimately due to Cameron!!”
"If James Dolan is willing to send Cameron away and focus on building a team around Wang Yan, I will regard him as the greatest team owner in NBA history!”
The fans who supported Stephen A. Smith were even more hardcore.
He counted Anthony's achievements in leading the team so far in his career, as well as his accumulated personal honors.
In terms of the team's record.
The highest ranking division finals, unable to get into the finals.
In terms of personal honor.
They didn't even have the best lineup.
The hardest honor was probably the league's scoring champion in the 12-13 season.
As for the All-Star starting lineup, the Best Rookie lineup, and the Best of the Month.
In front of players of the same level, these were all scraps!
The Knicks had finally chosen a proud son of heaven.
Hurry up and send Anthony away while he's still valuable?
James Dolan must have gone crazy!
Under the heated discussion.
Even Cameron Anthony himself had come to the venue of the top 32 NCAA Tournament.
The New York Knicks 'top star in recent seasons had come to the Garden in person.
Watch the Top 32 match between UCLA and the University of Wisconsin-Austin!
"I know that a lot of fans have been discussing certain topics on the Internet recently.”
He sat on the sidelines and accepted the pre-match interview from the media.
Anthony, who was wearing sunglasses and looked like a big brother, smiled."I don't care what the fans are discussing or what they say. That's the freedom of the fans.”
"I just want to say that Wang Yan is an incredible young man. If he can come to the New York Knicks, it will improve the quality of the team.”
"You know, he can easily tear through the defense and create more space for me to shoot…"
"If the two of us work together in the end, we will definitely win the championship!”
Melo's remarks before the game.
The media at the scene compared it to the past:
LeBron James 'teammate in his rookie season: Ricky Davis's remarks.
In the end.
The media chose to summarize Anthony's words in one sentence:
Wang Yan? He is here to assist me!
(Kneel, kneel for votes, kneel for support!!)
