NBA: Since James left the Cavaliers

"The player drafted by the Chicago Bulls with the 28th pick in the first round is Norris Cole!"

When David Stern's voice sounded, Jimmy Butler suddenly felt lost.

Backstage, Norris Cole got up quickly. He first said hello to Barrett, and then ran towards the front desk!

Then after he took a photo with Stern, he stepped off the stage, and Stern continued to announce.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, they used the No. 29 pick in their hands to select the forward player from Marquette University, Jimmy Butler!"

Butler, who had already given up hope in the first round, suddenly stood up when he heard the voice.

He even wondered if he heard it wrong. Before that, the Cavaliers didn't have any contact with him, and they didn't even give him a chance to try out.

He also knows that what the Cavaliers are short of now is an inside player, so he never thought that the Cavaliers would select him!
Butler walked towards the stage in disbelief, and David Stern smiled at him: "Congratulations! Young man, you have joined the best team!"

Soon after, Long Rui, who was far away across the ocean, received a message from the team's general manager David Griffin.

"As you wish, we managed to get Jimmy Butler."

When Long Rui saw this message, he was overjoyed immediately!
The addition of Jimmy Butler will further enhance the team's strength!
Maybe he is not strong now, but Long Rui knows that Butler is a very hard-working player. With his own efforts, he will step by step in the league and eventually become an outstanding star player.

Although Butler's player report is very ordinary, Long Rui has taken a fancy to his unyielding fighting spirit. His tough attitude is the most precious spirit.

When Jimmy Butler was drafted by the Cavaliers, the Chicago Bulls' front office was clearly not happy.

Because Butler is also the person they fancy, they wanted to sign him with the 30th overall pick, but they didn't want the Cavaliers to be the first.

In the end, the Bulls selected Corey Joseph with the 30th overall pick.

The first round of the draft is over, and after that, it will enter the second round of the draft.

In this year's second-round draft, there are also several good players. In addition to Isaiah Thomas, there is also Bojan Bogdanovic.

In the future, Chandler Parsons, known as "tall, rich and handsome", is also among them, but this guy's performance is only a flash in the pan. After he got a big contract, he plummeted and started the pension mode in advance.

Regarding the second round of the draft, the Cavaliers have the No. 24 pick in their hands. As long as Long Rui wants to, he can let David Griffin choose Isaiah Thomas.

But Long Rui didn't do this. The first reason is because the team already has many outstanding backcourt players.

Even if Isaiah Thomas joins the Cavaliers, his playing time will be very limited, which will affect his development.

What's more, he only has outstanding offensive ability, but he is very average on the defensive end. His height of 175 cm is somewhat like a cash machine in the NBA.

The second reason is that Long Rui doesn't want the Cavaliers to hoard too many potential players. After all, if the team is too strong, the game will not be challenging. This is not what Long Rui wants to see.

He is a person who likes challenges. He will use his advantages to keep the team competitive enough, but he will not let the team become the only one. In this way, his career will be more interesting.

After Isaiah Thomas was selected by the Kings with the 30th overall pick, the current draft ended.

The Cavaliers chose an inside player in the second round, but David Griffin didn't have much hope for him. After all, he is a low-ranking player, and few people can play.

After the draft, the teams began to plan various transactions.

One of the more active ones is the Heat. After they lost to the Cavaliers in the playoffs, they have been considering the reinforcement of the lineup.

After all, they now have the existence of the top three giants in their hands, which is very attractive to some players in the free market.

……

Long Rui and Ran Ruoxue stayed in China for more than a month. During this period, they visited many places of interest and historical sites together and left many good memories.

On this day, after Long Rui and Ran Ruoxue bid farewell to her parents, they embarked on the journey back to the United States. Although the off-season is a relaxing time, training should not be missed.

If you want to build a dynasty, you must maintain a serious training attitude at all times.

It is now the beginning of August, and there is still some time before the start of next season, but in Long Rui's memory, there will be some fluctuations in the league this season.

Due to labor negotiation issues, the entire series will be shortened to 66 regular season games, which is not something that Long Rui can control.

He still remembers that after the Heat won the championship this season, they were also abused by many fans, saying that the gold content of their championship was very low.

However, in Long Rui's view, the champion is the champion, and the game constants of each team are the same, without any favoritism, and everyone is competing fairly.

United States, Kecheng.

A plane landed slowly, and on the plane were Long Rui and Ran Ruoxue who had returned from China.

After getting off the plane, they hurried back home to rest, still a little tired from the journey.

The next day, Long Rui asked general manager David Griffin for Jimmy Butler's contact information, and he immediately dialed the number.

At this time, Butler was training in the gym when his cell phone rang. He took a closer look and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

He frowned slightly, but still connected the phone.

"Hello, Jimmy!"

On the other end of the phone, Long Rui greeted immediately.

"you are?"

Listening to this strange voice, Jimmy Butler didn't know who he was.

"I'm Long Rui! Your teammate!"

Long Rui's answer was very kind, without any airs at all.

"Long Rui? You are Long Rui!"

After hearing this answer, Butler was shocked. He never thought that Long Rui would call him!
"Do you have time now? Let's find a place to talk!"

Long Rui made him feel like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, very kind.

"Yes! Of course there is! Where is it?"

Butler responded immediately.

Long Rui knew that Butler loved coffee, so he specially chose a coffee shop as the meeting place.

The purpose of this appointment is mainly to let Butler receive his own special training, so as to quickly develop his potential!
