NBA: Unlock the Eye of the Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 29: The undercurrent of the NBA, a draft worth looking forward to!

"Won again, my God, really won again. Under the leadership of Lin, Wake Forest reached the final four and created a new history!"

United States, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Lakers training facility.

In the general manager's office, Jerry West looked at his boss Jerry Buss with excitement.

"Boss, this is why I must invite you over. I think I have discovered the key to the rise of the Lakers. This person is Lin Yan who led Wake Forest to the final four!"

Jerry Buss looked at Jerry West, who had rarely lost his composure, and once again focused on the notebook on the table.

The notebook recorded Lin Yan's performance in this game.

12 points and 18 assists. 7 steals and 0 turnovers!

Judging from the score alone, it may not be surprising.

But half of the 12 points came from the most critical moments of the game, which is even more impressive for his organizational ability. It is clear at a glance that 7 steals are possible.���Clearly aware of his defensive abilities.

As for 0 turnovers, it demonstrates his strong field control ability.

To know.

This is the NCAA Elite Eight game.

The intensity of a decisive game can be imagined.

But Lin Yan was able to make zero mistakes in this situation.

This ability to control the field is definitely the best.

"In terms of statistics alone, Lin is indeed an excellent point guard. He reminds me of Stockton and Oscar Robertson!"

Jerry Buss nodded in agreement.

Lin Yan's ability cannot be underestimated.

This kind of performance can definitely compare with the best point guards in the NBA.

"However, after all, Lin is only in the NCAA, and there is still a big gap between him and the NBA. No one can guarantee whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA!"

Logically speaking, Jerry Buss is the president of the Lakers and should be comfortable being a hands-off manager.

However, he himself still likes to study basketball and players.

The purpose of Jerry West calling him here today , also to talk to him about signings.

If he can get the approval of the team president, Jerry West will be more comfortable in subsequent operations!

"I think before any player joins the NBA, no one can guarantee what kind of results he will achieve. The draft itself is a gamble, and it depends on whether the team has the courage to gamble!"

Jerry West patiently gave an explanation.

Even someone as strong as Michael Jordan had a side that was not favored during the draft. He was not selected until the third pick in the first round.

He questioned Lin Yan. , it is definitely inevitable.

At this time, what matters is the team's courage and decision-making!

"What are you going to do?"

Jerry West's determination made Jerry Buss choose to believe

"We don’t have draft picks, the only thing we can do is to trade. I estimate Lin’s draft pick should be between 10-25. I plan to use the team’s star center Vlade Divac to exchange for the picks at this stage.!"

West is also not verbose. When communicating with his old buddy, there is no need to hide anything.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Bass frowned.

Divac's performance in the team is not bad, and is even very stable.

If the team loses a powerful center because of Lin Yan, this deal does not seem to be a good deal!

"I think it is necessary!"

West is still extremely determined.

"What if someone gets there first?"

Bass asked again.

They will definitely not be the only ones to notice Lin Yan's performance.

Other teams will definitely be prepared.

Once the Lakers complete the transaction with other teams, and Lin Yan is beaten first, then But it’s really not worth the gain!

"We can negotiate with the other party first, let them choose the person first, and we can make the deal later!"

Bass nodded.

"What if they can’t choose either?"

"It doesn't matter, I still have a second choice, Kobe Bryant from high school!"

Jerry West still responded calmly.

Hearing this answer, Bass smiled and shook his head.

"Man, as expected of you, you always make people feel at ease when doing things!"

Jerry West didn't push back

"Helping the Lakers complete their revival is also what I desire most!"

"By the way, CEO, I think it would be nice if only the two of us knew about today’s conversation. Our external attitude is that we have no interest in Lin!"

Jerry West's last words made Bass extremely satisfied.

To say that the logo man is an old fox is really a bit of a compliment to the fox!

……………… at the same time.

In the Celtics' general manager's office, Auerbach also held Lin Yan's game data.

Unlike Jerry West, there is another person's name in his notebook - Allen Iverson.

In the quarterfinals, Iverson surrendered 36 points and 4 steals.

Ranked first in the scoring list again!

"This year’s talent show is really a fight between gods~"

"Assistant, when we released the news, we said that we are very interested in Ray Allen. He is the one we are most optimistic about and want to get this year!"

The assistant was a little hesitant when he heard this.

"Manager, there is no data about Ray Allen on your desk.……"

Auerbach smiled and waved.

"Just do as I say!"

The assistant didn't hesitate anymore and quickly left the office.

"Lin Yan, Allen Iverson, I must win one!"

After the assistant left, Auerbach shook his fist.

………………

New York, New York Knicks training facility.

General manager Glenn Field also kept gesticulating.

The names of Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson, Lin Yan, and Derek Fisher are prominently listed.

For the New York Knicks, their signings in the summer are imperative.

Especially in terms of point guard, they need to strengthen as soon as possible.

Judging from the draft picks they hold, these people written down are their signing targets. than trading.

The draft is undoubtedly a better solution.

Only in this way can the Knicks maintain their dominance for a long time!

It is worth mentioning that.

He also had no intention of letting his thoughts out.

Those who can hold the position of general manager in the NBA are the best among the best. They know very well how to help the team.

Even if the team already has a goal, they will never show their attitude easily until the day of the draft.

………………

This situation does not only exist for the above-mentioned teams. Many teams that have missed the playoffs or are preparing to strengthen in the new season have begun to set their goals in the draft.

It is foreseeable that this year's draft is destined to be extremely exciting!
