Draft and trade.

Twists and turns, ups and downs.

Dust falls to the ground.

Lin Feng, the unexpected No. 1 pick, ended up joining the New York Knicks.

Rose, the most popular rookie this season, was sent to the Chicago Bulls.

That was his hometown, but he felt very unhappy.

Rose felt that the Bulls clearly had the No. 1 pick and had previously released smoke bombs, saying that there was a 95% probability of selecting him, and a 5% probability of selecting Beasley.

In the end, the cunning Bulls caught everyone off guard and chose Lin Feng from China.

Just when everyone was shocked, another blockbuster trade bomb was dropped at the draft.

Rose returned to the Bulls, but was traded back.

This made him feel that a talented player like himself did not receive enough respect.

Rose felt that he should have been selected by the Bulls with the first overall pick.

Instead of being like a commodity on a shelf, used in exchange for maximum benefits.

Similarly.

The unruly Michael Beasley is dissatisfied with the Heat as he is about to start his career.

He originally thought that he could go to the New York Knicks, the team he longed for most, become the core and boss of the team, and make as much money as possible, and then reach the top of his life.

Instead of being Wade's little brother!

Of course.

The most angry person involved in this blockbuster deal was undoubtedly Lin Feng.

Major draft websites predict him to be in the top five, which already makes him very satisfied.

After all, Lin Feng is very aware of his biggest disadvantage in participating in this year's NBA draft, which is that he is unknown before March Madness and is far less famous than Rose, Beasley and Mayo.

Even in the next six knockout rounds, he played extremely well.

He even helped the UCLA Bruins change their destiny and advance to the top 16, and later led the team to win the final NCAA championship and win the MOP. to be honest.

Lin Feng already knows that his evaluation level is between All-Star and quasi-superstar. It is more than enough to win the No. 1 pick among NBA rookies.

But there are too many things to examine in the NBA draft, and it can't be decided by just playing some crazy games.

Just like the world before Lin Feng was reborn.

Chalmers hit a game-tying three-pointer at a critical moment, leading the University of Kansas Jayhawks to defeat the University of Memphis Tigers led by Rose in overtime.

This guard with average talent and average performance finally won the MOP in the Final Four. only.

In that world, Chalmers was only the 34th overall pick in the second round of the 2008 NBA Draft by the Timberwolves, and his selection did not soar at all because of his outstanding performance in the NCAA Finals.

Rose, who lost to him in the finals, was still selected by the Bulls with the No. 1 pick.

After being reborn into this world.

Even with his crazy performance in the NCAA, Lin Feng still maintains a relatively rational position for himself.

Just being in the top ten in the first round is enough for him to rise!

Unexpectedly, his draft stock skyrocketed and he was promoted to the top five overall.

This already makes Lin Feng quite satisfied.

Although his agent Bill Duffy helped him hype up, which increased his probability of being selected in the top three. only.

When this blockbuster deal happened, Lin Feng quickly understood.

These are the three teams involved in the transaction, who were competing and fueling the situation behind the scenes.

In the end, Lin Feng became the number one pick, and was put on the shelf and traded for greater benefits.

As a top student with a high IQ, he could see the clues from the final trading plan.

It is true that the Knicks want to get him. General manager Donnie Wash has promised Lin Feng's agent Bill Duffy no less than 20 times that he will definitely choose him.

He even revealed to Bill Duffy later that he would do anything to get Lin Feng.

If he dared to make such a promise without the instruction of Knicks owner Dolan, Lin Feng would not believe it even to death.

The cautious Donny Wash does not have such crazy courage, unless it is the boss Dolan.

So that means the Knicks paid a huge price to trade for themselves.

The damn Bulls and Heat used him as a knife to slaughter the Knicks.

This is his feud team!

After returning to the small green room.

Lin Feng told his parents about the situation and explained that he was about to go to New York to play ball.

It's the largest city in the world. He also took his parents there before.

"New York is the biggest city!"

"When your mother and I come to New York in the future, we can still go and watch you play."

"Now that you're in the NBA, it's not just about playing for yourself."

"We should learn more from Dayao and safeguard the image of the country in every aspect!"

"You must have a good relationship with your teammates and coaches. It doesn't matter how much money you make. Your mother and I don't need much."

When Lin Feng's father heard that his son had decided on the team, he gave him a strict lecture.

After explaining, he followed Bill Duffy into the Knicks' draft box.

"......"

"Lin, this is the whole story of this transaction."

"We start from the draft and are determined to choose you from beginning to end!"

"It's just that the Bulls and Heat came in and killed us halfway."

Donny Wash, the general manager of the Knicks, gave a general explanation of the causes and consequences.

It mainly showed that the team has made various efforts to obtain Lin Feng.

Even at a heavy price!

It gave away outstanding talent. Moreover, Michael Beasley, a top pick in the United States who is well-known in high school, also sent out two core players of the team in

Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph this season! The latter averaged 39.9 minutes per game and scored 20.6 points and 5 assists.

The latter averaged 32.5 minutes per game and scored a double-double of 17.6 points and 10.3 rebounds.

These two are the Knicks' top two scorers this season. But both have big problems. The former's defense is poor and his playing style is more suitable as the team's sixth man, while the latter's offensive skills at the basket are good, but his defensive attitude is problematic and his temper will be broken sooner or later.

They have to be sent away, especially Randolph, who is a cancer in the locker room.

The most regrettable thing is next year's first-round pick, and the most disgusting thing is the two garbage contracts of Tyrus Thomas and Mark Blount. The combined annual salary is as high as 12 million U.S. dollars, but Lin Feng feels that the first-round pick is just that. As long as he leads the Knicks to a strong record in the new season and successfully enters the playoffs, or even goes further.. Then this first-round pick is of no use.

But the Knicks are very satisfied with the way they go to get him.

What is respect

? Boss Dolan, who had been silent since the initial greeting, stared at Lin Feng and said:"Lin, Downey said so much, not to claim credit, but to tell you that this is our sincerity! Lin Feng nodded and said with an indifferent smile:"Yes, Mr. Dolan, I feel the sincerity of the Knicks!"

"

"I am sure you will feel happy and proud of your choice today!"

The bearded Hu Dolan is very satisfied with this confident young man. He was traded just after he became the No. 1 pick, and he can still remain so calm.

This is the composure and confidence that the team should have when they choose it as the cornerstone of their long-term team building..

The depression and resentment caused by the previous transaction are now gone.

He will throw away some negative assets that he will have to give up sooner or later, and if he can get an excellent first-round pick, he will get two bad contracts. As for the potential new star, Dolan feels that he is making a lot of money.

Although the outside world may think that the Knicks are fools after the blockbuster trade plan is announced, but Dolan, who has always been known for being crazy, cares.

?

Haha, care about a hammer!

"Lin, let me make my attitude clear directly. We will try our best to trade you over, just to make you the absolute core and the cornerstone of the team!"

Dolan didn't bother to beat around the bush and simply stated his thoughts straightforwardly.

He pointed to Donnie Wash, the team's general manager who was sitting next to him, and added to Lin Feng:"I have authorized it. Give it to Downey, and he will work hard to build a championship-winning lineup around you."

"I don't care about any/bullshit luxury tax, just one goal!"

"The Knicks can enter the playoffs as soon as possible and restore the glory of our team!"

Lin Feng also understood what Dolan meant. It doesn't make much sense to say more.

He is a person who likes to prove himself with practical actions, especially the way of defeating his opponents.

"Mr. Dolan, as I said just now, you will be grateful and proud of your choice and contribution today. From my college coach to my teammates and even my opponents, it is clear to me."

"I never say big words, but I can do whatever I say!"

"I can lead the team to accomplish this small goal of yours!"

"As long as Mr. Downey can help me find the pieces to win the championship, they don't have to be superstars or All-Stars, just the ones that are most suitable for the team, I will lead the team back to the finals and win the championship!"

"Just like you promised to choose me, this is also my promise to you!"

"I am an action person, so everything will be proven by actions and time!"

Lin Feng had a pleasant conversation with Dolan this time, and a certain amount of trust was reached between the two parties.

What he has to do next is to prove it with actions in the competition.

"Boss, this Lin Feng has a super confident temperament!"

"I have only seen this kind of temperament in superstars such as Magic John, Larry Bird, Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Iverson and LeBlanc! Simply brilliant!"

"This time I firmly support your choice, I think your choice is right!"

After Lin Feng and Bill Duffy left, Knicks general manager Donnie Wash couldn't help but praise Lin Feng. For the first time, he even felt that his previous worries were mediocre.

Dolan lit up his expensive cigar and heard Donnie -Wash's approval, puffing up the air with comfort

"So Downey, you must always understand that what we need to look at is the long term!"

"I carefully studied all the videos of Lin Feng in the NCAA knockout rounds, and I just noticed his super confidence and his flamboyant personality when playing on the court."

"Look at superstars such as Jordan, Kobe and Iverson. Which player was not extremely confident and arrogant when he was young, and he was a thorn in the side who never gave up on the court."

"I saw it in Lin Feng, so what does it mean to pay the price?"

"Next, you will be fully responsible for everything from his signing with us to press conferences and media exposure. You will also fully support him if he wants to represent the country in the Olympics!"

Donny Wash raised his head in surprise and asked:"If Lin Feng represents the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics, he will not be able to participate in our summer league......."

"Donny!!"

Dolan, who exhaled a puff of smoke, heard Donnie Wash talking about the summer league, and immediately interrupted in displeasure.

"Hey, Downey, do you think that with Lin Feng's level, it is still necessary to participate in low-end games like summer league? Top international competitions like the Olympics are his stage"

"You have also seen the results of the men's basketball team in this year's Olympic Games. The Chinese men's basketball team led by Lin Feng and Dayao are in the same group as the M country men's basketball team led by superstars such as Kobe and LeBlanc."

"Moreover, Class X, which has the Gasol brothers and many NBA players, is also assigned to this group."

"There was also the Men's Basketball World Championship held in Japan the year before last. The European champion X La Men's Basketball Team, which defeated Country M in the semi-finals, was also placed in that group."

"This is the group of death. It is not easy for the Chinese men's basketball team to break through."

Knicks general manager Donnie Wash quickly reacted, widened his eyes in surprise and said:"So boss, you want to use the Olympics to test Lin Feng's level and ability to withstand pressure?"

"���Wrong, I hope he won't let me down!"

Dolan took a long puff of cigar, squinting his eyes slightly and not knowing what he was thinking.
