Chapter 40 The Three Musketeers of Illinois

Faced with the reporters blocking the door, although Mr. Pi was reluctant, he had to answer the reporters' questions.

"Scottie, you also went to watch Lin Yu's game yesterday. The Celtics are now going to play badly for Lin Yu. What do you think about this?"

"To be honest, I was surprised, but I was not surprised, because this young man Lin Yu is really too outstanding."

"People say that Lin Yu is a 10-centimeter-taller Michael Jordan. Although I don't agree with this statement, I think with his talent, he can definitely become the next superstar!"

The reporters were not surprised to hear Pi Erye's answer, after all, there were various celebrities, players and media who praised Lin Yu's talent.

If not a hundred, there are at least eighty.

"Scottie, the Bulls asked you to bring scouts to observe Lin Yu. Is it for the purpose of selecting Lin Yu?"

"I can't answer that. After all, I'm not in management."

On this point, Pi was telling the truth. After all, although he is a Bulls legend, he has now retired.

"But if I were the general manager, even if I had the top pick, I would definitely choose Lin Yu without hesitation."

Although Mr. Pi only expressed his own thoughts, for the media, a piece of hearsay was enough.

That night.

The Bulls legend revealed that he is willing to use the No. 1 pick to select Lin Yu!

This piece of news instantly swept across the beautiful family.

Online, countless fans began heated discussions.

"Is this true? The Bulls are also going to give up and choose Lin Yu?"

"I guess so. Lin Yu's talent is too outrageous. His physique is as strong as Chamberlain's, and his shooting is accurate."

"Let alone anything else, this talent that is visible to the naked eye cannot possibly be fake!"

"The Celtics and the Bulls are already competing for Lin Yu. I wonder how many more teams will join in next?"

"."

New York, NBA headquarters.

All employees were very cautious at this time, fearing that they would anger the president.

Stern was very unhappy at this time!

The person who made him unhappy was the cardinal.

Just like the Cardinal said, if nothing unexpected happens, the Lakers should win the championship this year.

But if the historically talented Lin Yu is really given to the Celtics.

The Celtics will most likely rise as well, and then the entire league will return to the yellow and green colors.

And the most important thing is that except for Kobe, the other members of the Lakers F4 are really too old.

O'Neal is 32 years old, Gary Payton is 36 years old, and Karl Malone is 41 years old.

In this case, once the Celtics rise after getting Lin Yu.

Three years later, the Lakers F3 will inevitably fall, but Lin Yu is still very young.

Who will check the Celtics?

What worries Stern is that the teams that perform badly this year may not be like the Spurs.

What if there is a team that is really willing to sign the No. 1 pick to the Celtics?

Moreover, in order to open up the Chinese market, Lin Yu cannot be assigned to a small-market team.

After all, the exposure of small-market teams and big-market teams is really like heaven and earth.

Moreover, not all owners of the currently struggling teams are favored by Stern.

The most typical example is the Wizards.

The Wizards' basketball market is not small, after all, they are located in Washington.

In the summer of 03, after retiring again, Jordan had a conflict with Wizards owner Abe Pollin.

As for the cause of this incident, both parties have different opinions.

However, according to the details mentioned in the memoirs of Abel Pollin's wife, Irene Pollin, Abel Pollin did make some verbal promises to Jordan when he invited him. Now, although Abel Pollin kicked Jordan out of the Wizards' management.

But Jordan also used his connections to attack the Wizards.

The two sides were in a huge quarrel!
This incident naturally angered Stern.

It is definitely nonsense to say that Stern never praised Jordan.

Seeing this situation now, Stern almost hated Abel Paulin to death!
How much did Stern hate Abel Pauline?

In the original history, in 2009, after Abel Pollin passed away, Stern awarded the No. pick to the Wizards the second year.

For a team like this, would Stern let the Wizards get Lin Yu?
Let’s not even mention the small-market teams like the Bobcats and Raptors that are about to join.

The Lakers and Knicks, teams recognized by the league as big markets, are currently playing in the playoffs.

At this time, there are actually not many options left for Lin Yu, or Stern.

The Magic, Suns, and SuperSonics, although in terms of market size, are definitely larger than a small market like the Cavaliers.

But in general, it is a medium-sized ball market.

Even the Trail Blazers can only be considered a big market, so there aren't a lot of options overall.

Trail Blazers, 76ers, Celtics, Bulls and Clippers!
Just as Stern began to think about how to arrange Lin Yu's whereabouts.

Lin Yu was surrounded by various reporters at this time.

……

Stillwater Municipal Airport, Oklahoma.

As soon as the Cowboys' chartered plane landed, Lin Yu was surrounded and blocked by reporters.

"Lin Yu, what do you think about the Celtics wanting to play badly for you?"

"The Bulls are also going to play badly for you. Since Tim Duncan, you are the only player who can make two teams play badly for you at the same time. What do you want to say now?"

"Lin Yu, do you prefer Boston or Chicago?"

"."

What else could Lin Yu say to the reporters? After all, he really hadn't decided which team to go to.

"To be honest, I haven't decided where to go yet. I need to focus more on the NCAA competition now."

After saying that, Lin Yu followed Old Sutton and others onto the school bus.

call!
After sitting down, Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

The reporters were so crazy, so crazy that it gave him a headache.

Tony also joked at this time: "Lin, two teams have already played badly for you. I really envy you! If it were me, I would just go to the Bulls. Boston is not a good place."

As a kid in Chicago, there was no one who didn't love the Bulls.

So does Tony.

Boston is, as Tony said, a typical white city.

Racial discrimination is serious.

Even Bill Russell, the 'Lord of the Rings' and a Celtics legend, doesn't like Boston fans.

Lin Yu's impression of the Celtics is the Big Three Celtics in the original history.

Confidence, madness and iron-bloodedness are the labels of that team!
But now, neither the Bulls nor the Celtics are his first choice.

If he really had a choice, he would definitely choose the Suns.

He went to the Suns and signed Nash.

Forget about the championship, even the dynasty will be shown to you!

At the moment, Lin Yu is more concerned about the next game.

Because the Cowboys' next opponent is the University of Illinois Warriors.

And this game is stronger than the Demon Deacons team led by 58 Paul!
