The first plug-in in basketball

Chapter 83 The Destiny Coin

(Today's joint issue, 5500 words chapter.)
United States, New York, in the theater at Madison Square Garden, NBA commissioner David Stern was booed from all directions as soon as he stepped onto the main stage.

In the face of these boos, Stern, the "old fritter", was extremely calm and calm.

Lin Yi and Blake Griffin are undoubtedly the two people who have attracted the most attention in this year's Little Green House. The close-up shots of the broadcast screen are aimed at these two people from time to time.

Accompanied by his parents, elementary school student Stephen Curry looked calm, and occasionally gave Lin Yichuan a look of "Don't be nervous, I believe in you". Because of the first two drafts, public opinion generally believed that it was the fourth duel between Blake Griffin and Lin Yi.

The rookies in the lottery turned into melon-eaters, their eyes would glance at Griffin and Lin Yi every once in a while.

……

There is not much time left before the start of the draft, but the Clippers' uniform staff obviously haven't solved the problem of whether to choose Lin Yi or Griffin.

They believe that this problem is even harder to solve than the three-body problem.

The Clippers uniforms debate is largely divided into two factions.

One faction headed by Neil Orsi believes that Lin Yi should be chosen.

One faction, headed by the old Dunleavy, believes that Blake Griffin should be chosen.

The two factions expressed their own opinions, and the other side couldn't find a good way to refute it. Just before the draft was about to start, when the two factions were still at a stalemate, a member of the uniform team suddenly suggested: "I said, there is no way for us to continue arguing like this. Since everyone thinks that we will not lose no matter whether we choose Lin or Blake, why don't we use a coin toss to resolve it?"

This proposal seemed absurd and ridiculous.

Even some child's play.

But a few minutes later, when league officials had arrived to urge the Clippers to make a quick decision, Dunleavy Sr. and Orsey relented because it seemed like the only way to solve the problem.

Since neither party can persuade the other to reach an agreement, let's use the most primitive way to solve it.

A five-cent coin was tossed into the air by a member of the Clippers uniform. Lin Yi would be chosen for heads, and Griffin would be chosen for tails.

If Lin Yi knew that the Clippers used this method to solve the problem of whether to choose Griffin or him, he would definitely give the Clippers' uniform a thumbs up: it is indeed the uniform of a small broken ship!Clothes!
Coins fall.

The Clippers made their own decisions.

……

David Stern cheerfully faced the boos. After his speech, a staff member handed an envelope to him.

The Chinese fans who watched the draft through the live broadcast were the most nervous. Everyone wanted to rush to the stage to snatch the envelope from Stern. Could this old man be quicker?Can't you stop being so tricky when you speak words?
Stern still squinted. After opening the envelope, he read unhurriedly: "The first pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Clippers chose..."

"Center from Davidson University, Lin Yi!"

Lin Yi was chosen on the obverse of the coin.

In the small green house, Stephen Curry ran to Lin Yi, "Lin! You are the No. [-] pick now!"

Although Lin Yi is ready to be selected as the No. [-] pick, but did the Clippers really choose him?

Blake Griffin's eyes were a little disappointed, but he returned to normal after a moment, Shafen and other six members gathered around to congratulate Lin Yi.

The mood of the Chinese fans who watched the draft on TV and live online can only be described as extremely excited.

China's second champion! !
Because Dayao was injured in the playoffs against the Lakers, his return date is uncertain, and the United States has not played in the Nets. Sun Yue's future with the Lakers is uncertain. Under such circumstances, the second Chinese No. [-] pick at least makes Chinese fans look forward to the NBA next season.

No matter what, after being selected, Lin Yi felt more at ease.

He walked to the main stage wearing a Los Angeles Clippers hat. When shaking hands with David Stern, Lin Yi found that Stern looked at him very kindly.

Stern was in a very good mood at this time. He didn't expect that idiot Sterling to make a choice that made him very comfortable. After Yao Ming was injured, Stern knew that the Chinese market urgently needed a new leader, and the appearance of Lin Yi was a seamless connection.

Lin Yi's "Award Acceptance Speech" was very short. It was nothing more than thanking Davidson College for his training and his vision for the NBA.

After stepping down, Lin Yi saw his manager Zhong Muchen, Zhong Muchen grabbed Lin Yi, "Boss, don't go for an interview yet."

Zhong Muchen, the blame man, made a very correct decision.

……

Not long after Lin Yi was selected, Stephen Curry began to hug Blake Griffin in the small green room, "Blake, although the city of Oakland is very ordinary, after all, the Warriors are a run-and-gun team, which is very suitable for your performance."

Griffin readily accepted the consolation of the elementary school students. To be honest, after missing the Los Angeles Clippers, Griffin really wanted the Thunder to trade up the draft picks and choose himself.

After all, Oklahoma is his hometown.

No. [-] is No. [-].

"The second pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors chose..."

Shafen is ready to go to the main stage.

"Point guard from Davidson, Stephen Curry!"

In the next second, Shafen was stunned.

Ga?
He glanced back at Curry and found that both Curry and Curry's parents were in a state of confusion.

……

The New York Knicks uniform now wants to say shit to the Warriors uniform.

It is agreed that you and the Clippers will choose Lin Yi and Griffin, and we will choose Curry?

You know, the New York Knicks have made all preparations for Stephen Curry's draft. What exactly do the Warriors uniforms want to do?
D'Antoni has even prepared how to train Curry, tell me now that Curry is gone?
However, Griffin seems to be very good!

Although Blake Griffin did not go to New York for trial training, it does not mean that New York does not pay attention to Blake Griffin.

Just when the New York Knicks were in a daze, the Warriors' uniforms all looked helpless.

Old Nelson was just that wayward.

Before the draft, the old man said that Lin Yi chose Curry as the first choice. There is no discussion. The two warriors must get one of them.

"Sir, we've got Ellis..."

"Then play double back!"

The reason for the old man is very simple. A player with super touch like Stephen Curry will definitely be able to play. Even the old man thinks that the Warriors are not tough enough. If Stephen Curry and Lin Yi can be selected together, the old man dares to pat his chest and say that he can bring you a Golden State Mavericks team.

After all, the old man is a big shot of the Warriors and the legendary coach of the Golden State Black Eight. Although the Warriors uniform team felt that it was a pity to miss Griffin, it was indeed the first choice for Lin Yi to choose Curry.

No. [-]?

Silly Finn suddenly felt that it was good to fall. Los Angeles, the first pick, and New York, the third pick, are both big cities. As expected, the New York Knicks chose Blake Griffin with the third pick in the first round.

Shafen happily walked to the main stage. Amidst the cheers of New York fans, he delivered a very touching speech (500 words omitted).

After Blake Griffin walked off the stage, he saw Lin Yi comforting Stephen Curry.

"Hey, what are you doing? Aren't you going to be interviewed?" Shafen said excitedly.

Lin Yi smiled, "You go first."

Shafen nodded. He had already contacted his agent and quickly showed him a house in New York. D'Antoni once brought out Stoudemire, and he believed that he was no worse than Stoudemire.

The elementary school students looked desperate, New York!The Big Apple!It's gone, it's all gone!
D'Antoni, gone!
"Actually, it's a good partner with Ellis." Lin Yi touched Stephen Curry's head.

"No! Then go and partner with him!" the elementary school student said through gritted teeth.

Lin Yi smiled, he can't tell Curry how strong the future warriors are, can he?

At this moment, Lin Yi received a text message from Zhong Muchen.

Sure enough, fortunately, I didn't accept the interview on the spur of the moment. Isn't this guy Shafen thanking New York now?

10 minutes ago, Zhong Muchen pulled Lin Yi back, "Boss, my friend who works in the Clippers uniform team told me that the Clippers regretted it now, and they are looking for a deal..."

Lin Yi: .
……

Shortly after the New York uniforms chose Blake Griffin, general manager Donnie Walsh received an offer from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Donnie Walsh felt that there must be a pie in the sky, so he immediately called New York Knicks coach D'Antoni.

"Mike! We didn't get Stephen Curry."

On the other end of the phone, D'Antoni: What the hell, is God going to kill him?When he came to New York to coach last season, how did the New York uniform team guarantee him?Will give him a star-studded team, now?Can't even pick a Stephen Curry?
You must know that it was in order to find treasures in the draft that D'Antoni agreed to show his shame.

For a famous coach like him, especially the famous coach who led the Suns to the league's best record all the year round, it would be a shame and a shame for him to be bad.

But for rebuilding and the lure of money in New York, D'Antoni endured.

But what the hell are you telling me now that I hand-picked Steve Curry, you didn’t get me this is too much, huh?But D'Antoni thinks, it's impossible, it's impossible not to choose Curry with the third pick!And there is clearly something in Donny Walsh's words.

"We drafted Blake Griffin!"

What the hell!

Happiness came a little too suddenly, and D'Antoni needed a quick rescue pill.

"And now the Clippers hope that we can complete the deal with them. They want to exchange the No. [-] pick Lin for the Blake Griffin we selected!"

What the hell!

D'Antoni didn't pay attention to this year's draft, because he felt that the script had already been arranged. Isn't it the story of the Warriors and Clippers picking Lin Yi and Griffin respectively, and then New York picking Stephen Curry?

But now, he never thought that the New York Knicks would have a chance to get Lin Yi.

D'Antoni kept recalling the videos he had watched Lin Yi play in his mind.

tall and big.

Outstanding dribbling ability.

Can make three-pointers and dunks.

Most importantly, D'Antoni found that Lin Yi's passing ability and organizational skills seemed to be better than Stephen Curry...

A bold idea formed in D'Antoni's mind.

"Change!"

D'Antoni replied.

With D'Antoni's reply, Donny Walsh felt more at ease. He had just notified the team's owner, Dolan, and Dolan asked him who D'Antoni was more optimistic about. Now Donny Walsh called Dolan back.

"Lin! Mike thinks Lin is a perfect fit for his tactics."

"Then change!" Dolan said.

"Wait boss, the Clippers hope we can make up some cash." Donnie Walsh said.

"Glenn, I can afford as much money as you want, as long as you and D'Antoni can build a team that can attract fans, the money is up to you!" Dolan's reply was very domineering.

money?The last thing I need is money.

Donny Walsh was so excited that he had no idea that happiness would knock on the door.

……

For the Clippers uniform team, after Lin Yi was selected, the old Dunleavy has been talking about it, because in the old Dunleavy's view, Griffin really likes Griffin from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Orsi is not a professional in the basketball field, and he won by tossing a coin, so he was a little guilty. If Lin Yi failed to play in the Clippers, wouldn't he have to take the blame?

Moreover, the matter of tossing a coin to choose the champion must not be hidden. If someone tells it later, he will be ridiculed by his peers for a lifetime.

The more old Dunleavy talked about Orsey, the more flustered he became.

Finally Orsi couldn't bear it anymore, "How about we make a deal?"

Old Dun Levy said, "How can I explain to the boss?"

"Let me explain." Orsi gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay!" Old Dunleavy succeeded in his scheme, hum, young man, you are still too young, why don't you choose Griffin for me obediently just now?

So Orsi was waiting for Griffin's team to be selected next. Unexpectedly, the Warriors actually selected Curry, but it was New York that selected Griffin. Are they willing to trade?
Orsey called New York general manager Donny Walsh. Donny Walsh said he had to think about it, so after waiting anxiously for 5 minutes, Orsey felt much more relaxed when he got Donny Walsh's agreement to trade.

But Olsi suddenly remembered that for a super-rich team like New York, how can Lin Yi also be the No.

After hanging up, Donny Walsh returned a few minutes later, "No problem, but we want to..."

Olsey told Dunleavy Sr. that New York wanted their 2011 first-round pick, and of course, New York would give some chips accordingly.

"In 2011?" Old Dunleavy pondered for a moment. After Griffin joined the Clippers, how could it be impossible for the Clippers to be at the bottom two years later? He has this confidence.

"Change!" Old Dunleavy replied affirmatively after seeing New York's chips.

The big stone in Orsi's heart fell, and he confirmed the deal with Donny Walsh.

……

"The fourth pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder selected..."

"James Harden from Arizona State!"

It came shortly after Harden took to the main stage to give his speech.

The news came that the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Clippers completed the deal.

The Los Angeles Clippers sent: Lin Yi (the first pick in the first round of the 2009 draft), the first round pick of the Clippers in 2011.

The New York Knicks sent: Blake Griffin (the third pick in the first round of the 2009 draft), the Knicks first-round pick in 2011 (the first pick in the first round is protected), some cash (undisclosed).

The birth of this deal made the Chinese fans who were still thinking about how the Clippers would arrange the relationship between Jordan, Kaman and Lin Yi after Lin Yi went to the Clippers just now.

New York Knicks?
Mike D'Antoni?

American fans do not know how to describe the mood at the moment.

Anyway, there are already three black lines on Stern's forehead.

In 2009, this deal was seen as the Clippers choosing the wrong person, and then made a friendly PY swap with the Knicks.

Conspiracy theory believes that the petty Clippers learned in advance of the Warriors' first choice Lin Yi's strategy to choose Curry, so they decided to cheat a wave of money from New York. After all, many teams have done this.

But in any case, in the next few years, one of the parties to this deal, the Los Angeles Clippers, has become a "negative teaching material" for the general managers of NBA teams to learn.

New York has finally received God's favor since Ewing retired.

But in fact, the mood of both sides at this time is not as complicated as the future.

After the Clippers chose Lin Yi, they found that Griffin was more suitable for them. New York was very lucky to pick Griffin after failing to select Curry. The Clippers hoped that New York could make up some cash to complete the deal with themselves. New York is more optimistic about Lin Yi, and D'Antoni prefers Lin Yi.

However, Donny Walsh felt that New York would be at a loss if he simply traded like this, so he added his own draft pick in 2011 to bet against the Clippers.

The Clippers uniform team firmly believed that the Knicks would be worse than themselves, so the two sides exchanged rookies and exchanged the 2011 draft picks.

For now, at least, it's an equal deal.

New York feels like it's got a great deal.

The Clippers also feel that they have earned blood, because the Knicks' draft pick is protected by the No. [-] pick, which means that New York itself is not optimistic about itself.

But in fact, this is just a careful scheming by Donnie Walsh.

He deliberately wanted the Clippers to underestimate him, because Donnie Walsh felt that New York could not be a lottery in 2011, and their goal was the playoffs!
How can the young and innocent Clippers uniform team be the opponent of the experienced Donnie Walsh?
It is a miracle that the general manager can solve the mess left by Thomas in the shortest time.

Moreover, Donny Walsh graciously let the smiling assassin stay in the New York management team, which has been well received by many people. Anyway, Thomas has no real power, and keeping him doesn't affect him. Why doesn't it seem like a generous approach to the New York Knicks if he doesn't make a favor?

As Donny Walsh was slowly dealing with the mess in New York, the Smiling Assassin realized just how bad he really was.

……

After the transaction was completed, Lin Yi smiled and exchanged hats with Griffin in the interview area.

Silly Fen felt ashamed of herself!
He was still telling the media just now that he would definitely lead New York, but he was slapped in the face in an instant.

Lin Yi said comfortingly, "It's not your fault, Blake."

New York Knicks?

Many Chinese fans can immediately think of two points when they mention the Knicks. The first is that this team sucks, and the second is that this team is stupid.

Oh yes, and the owner of this team is rich!
Lin Yi, who looked at it from the perspective of traveling, knew that the New York Knicks in 2009 were a team with great potential. This was the turning point of this team, but they had continuous deviations in the nodes.

call!
For some reason, Lin Yi felt that Stephen Curry was jealous of the hat on his head.

The elementary school student said indignantly: "Why wouldn't the Knicks trade me with Griffin!"

asshole!I don't want to go to Golden State!

New York!The Big Apple!
Lin Yi touched Stephen Curry's head as a comfort.

Strange, why does it feel like Curry's hair is starting to shrink?

A lot of the plots are for foreshadowing and creating suspense. I try to keep the game within 3 chapters as much as possible, and I just skip the unimportant games.If there is no certain foreshadowing and explanation, and no suspense, then what is the difference between you and watching live text?Don't we just draw suspense when we read novels?Well, I admit defeat, I don't want to recommend it anymore, as long as you are happy and comfortable to read, so I will publish this chapter directly, and use almost three chapters to merge it into one chapter.Although there is one shift today, the volume is comparable to the usual three shifts.I have been locked up in the small black room for a long time today. I don’t have to worry about updating the original 33 manuscripts, but inexplicably deleted a lot of manuscripts yesterday.Thank you for your long-term support, including the friends of QQ Reading. I only found out today that QQ Reading has so many readers.I'm so sorry.Next, we are similar to streaking, if you are willing to reward a recommendation ticket, please reward it.I have no choice but to update 4000 words in the new issue, divided into 2 updates. This is the rule. If there are more, I will definitely go to the street as a full-time writer.I hope everyone can understand each other. As an author, I also want to publish hundreds of thousands of words overnight for you to read, but I can't, I can only wait for it to be put on the shelves!I hope that everyone can order and support it for the first time.
