Chapter Eighty-Two: The Eve of the Draft

After Lin Yi finished his trial training with the Clippers, he went to Oakland, Oklahoma and Phoenix for trial training.

In Oakland, Lin Yi received unanimous praise. The Warriors already have Maggette and Ellis on the perimeter. The Warriors urgently need to choose a big man.

In Oklahoma, Lin Yi was also highly praised by the Thunder, but Presti was worried, how can Lin Yi be traded?

In Phoenix City, Steve Cole just missed kissing Lin Yikuang, this kid is definitely a must! But why can't Stoudemire impress the Clippers? Cole is a little skeptical of life.

After the trial training, Lin Yi and Curry talked on the phone. The trial training of the elementary school students in New York went very smoothly. On the contrary, the Knicks are the most desireless in this draft. Their No. 3 pick is enough to ensure that they can select Stephen Curry Here, they will not compete for Lin Yi and Blake Griffin. After all, the Knicks have no good bargaining chips now. The Knicks are going to wait 10 years for the free market after Curry is selected.

Just before the draft, the Spurs and the Bucks also completed a deal. The Bucks sent All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson, and the Spurs sent defensive experts Bowen, center Oberto and Cotto Thomas.

After the deal was completed, the Bucks traded Oberto for Amir Johnson from the Pistons.

The Huskies (Timberwolves) also traded with the Wizards as Lin Yi remembered. The Huskies sent Randy Foye and Mike Miller to the Wizards in exchange for the No. 5 pick in 2009, Etan Thomas, Darius Sangueira, Rexey Perochev.

Lin Yi didn't want to make any comments about the little wolf's deal. Everyone knows the goal of the Timberwolves, which is the high-quality guard group in the 2009 class. Especially after Rubio announced his candidacy but could not join the NBA immediately, the Spanish Golden Boy's draft has plummeted all the way, but the rotten Cubs are willing to Take a gamble.

I don't know if Lu Yuanwai can renew his relationship with the little wolf. Anyway, the top four teams in the draft have their own goals, and Lu Yuanwai's pick may be lower than Lin Yi remembers.

Anyway, it's not a day or two that a team like the Timberwolves is bad. Many Timberwolves fans say that the Timberwolves are bad because Garnett left.

"Boss, if we buy a house, which one should we buy?" Zhong Muchen has already started showing houses to Lin Yi in the past two days, because Lin Yi must be the first two selected, so Zhong Muchen has already picked houses for Lin Yi in Los Angeles and Oakland.

"Wait..." For some reason, Lin Yi suddenly had a feeling.

If the Clippers' uniform team hadn't chosen him, wouldn't that lunatic old Nelson cut off New York again?

You must know that in Lin Yi's memory, the Warriors chose Curry when it was impossible for me to choose Curry.

Lin Yi suddenly recalled that when he went to the Warriors for trial training, although Old Nelson liked him a lot, he seemed to keep asking himself about Stephen Curry?

Curry turned down the Warriors' tryout.

You must know that the Warriors were a bad team in 2009. Oakland was in chaos, and the team hadn't changed owners yet, and Jerry West didn't go to the Warriors either.

Ellis is a player with Kobe's heart but not Kobe's life. Maggette is an enhanced version of 3D with an All-Star salary. In general, the Warriors suck.

It's not that Lin Yi has never considered the Warriors. After all, he has an advantage that others do not have, that is, he knows that the Warriors will definitely rise.

For nothing else, as long as Jerry West comes here, this team is destined not to be too bad.

The LOGO man is like a cheating existence.

Moreover, as long as the Warriors change their bosses, their new bosses Lacob and Guber are very far-sighted. Lin Yi remembers that they only spent a few hundred million dollars to buy the Warriors. finished,

The market value of the Warriors has almost approached that of the Knicks and Lakers.

So Lin Yi didn't worry about where he was going before. The owner of the Clippers, Sterling, had a problem, but after the Los Angeles Lakers signed with Time Warner, the Clippers will surpass the Lakers and become the most popular local fans in Los Angeles in about 13 years. favorite team.

Although Oakland sucks, Lin Yi believes that he doesn't even need to interfere with the management. In the future, the management will be able to match him with a bunch of fierce people, as long as he can play with Xiao Gongju Ellis for two seasons with peace of mind.

But now, Lin Yi feels that old Nelson may do such a thing again.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yi himself looked at it with a time-traveling perspective. If you look at it from the perspective of the person involved, it is impossible for the Warriors to choose Curry in 2009!

So this is why the Knicks only invited Curry to try out.

You must know that in Lin Yi's memory, after the Warriors intercepted Hu Knicks, the Knicks were only close to flipping the table.

To put it bluntly, Curry and New York have already hit it off, and they have no desires or desires, but the old Nelson insisted on a wave of show-off operations.

"Why don't you ask about the housing prices in New York?" Lin Yi said to Zhong Muchen seriously.

Zhong Muchen couldn't believe his ears, "Boss, even if the Clippers don't draft you, you can't be the third overall pick."

"Well, let's watch first!" Lin Yi didn't dare to reassure himself.

He and Griffin's trial training with the Clippers was 55. After all, Lin Yi's current level is not enough to suppress Griffin, and he has more or less influenced Griffin. In that workout, Griffin also proved that his shot can be developed.

Although Griffin's dribbling is not as fancy as Lin Yi's, you can't fault his high-position attack with the ball.

In addition, Griffin already has a certain organizational talent, and he is not so independent in playing, so the Clippers will firmly keep their No. 1 pick after the trial training is over.

After all, the Clippers' uniforms don't have the IQ of Presti and Steve Kerr.

If so, they wouldn't be doing so badly in the future.

The blue-collar Jordan, let go early to match Paul and Griffin with a top wing, the Clippers can't say they won the championship early.

And the patience of the Clippers is really good, allowing Rivers and Rivers Jr. to mess around and refuse to change coaches.

Forget it, let's take one step at a time!

...

On June 25th, in the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, USA, the much-anticipated 2009 NBA Draft kicked off.

Whether Lin Yi can become the second Chinese champion after Yao Ming has become a hot topic among Chinese netizens.

Datianchao TV will also broadcast the draft.

Before the game, the topic of Lin Yi or Griffin who is more suitable to be the No. Curry! Give Griffin a Curry, maybe Griffin also killed North Carolina?

You must know that although Griffin only led the team to the top 32, Griffin averaged 25 points and 17 rebounds per game in March Crazy.

Just when the fans were arguing, Presti and Steve Kerr both had the urge to strangle Clippers owner Sterling.

The Thunder are willing to send Ibaka and Jeff Greena's first-round pick next year to the Clippers for the No. 1 pick. Sterling thinks that this trickster wants to hurt me and refuse.

Cole once again increased his bargaining chips. In addition to Xiaobawang, he also took out two second-round picks. However, Sterling believes that if he trades Stoudemire, if he does not renew his contract with us next year, it will be a big deal. Chicken and egg hit? So the transfer from the Suns was rejected.

In the theater, both Lin Yi and Curry were invited into the small green room.

The members of the group of six meet again.
