Chapter 62 The draft is decided!

"By then, even if Stern doesn't give me the No. 1 pick, I can still trade you over through my connections and a lot of bargaining chips."

Lots of chips!

When Lin Yu heard this word, he was actually a little resistant.

After all, if he really goes to the Celtics, this large amount of chips may very well become assets to trade for the championship puzzle.

If his current strength is considered to be that of a superstar, he is indeed still a little short of it.

But he can upgrade again immediately.

"Is it not possible for the Celtics to win the first pick directly?"

"Based on my understanding of Stern, he might have considered signing the No. 1 pick to the Celtics, but that was based on my use of the media to publicize the result of the yellow-green battle."

"But according to my estimation, the probability that he will sign the first pick to the Celtics is less than 20%."

The Cardinal and Stern are old friends, and Stern is largely responsible for the Celtics' decline.

"Mr. Auerbach, what do you think I should do to get directly selected by the Celtics?"

Lin Yu really didn't want the Celtics to spend a lot of chips.

"It's hard to say. Even if you say in front of the media that you won't play for other teams even if you're selected, many teams will try to sign you and try to see if they can change your mind."

"Unless you clearly say you want to come to the Celtics, then there is a chance of success."

'Spanish Golden Boy' Rubio is the best example.

Even though he has already expressed that he doesn't want to play for the Timberwolves.

Timberwolves management: I’m going to choose you!

"Stern thinks highly of you. No, I should say he thinks highly of you and Yao. He has been wanting to develop the international market for a long time. You and Yao are his helpers in developing the Chinese market."

"Once you clearly say in front of the media that you will come to the Celtics, Stern may have a high probability of signing the No. 1 pick to the Celtics, but it will definitely put you in the vortex of the fishing reel."

To some extent, the cardinal's solution is really not a solution.

Once Stern gets really angry, he might give the No. 1 pick to the Trail Blazers, Magic, or any other team.

They selected Lin Yu, who had promised in front of the media that he would only play for the Celtics.

If the team doesn't trade Lin Yu by then, will both sides just waste time?
Hearing this, Lin Yu smiled.

He already had a decision in his mind.

"Mr. Auerbach, please arrange a media for me! I want to make my "decision" during the live broadcast!"

The cardinal on the other end of the phone fell into silence. After a while, he said, "Okay!"

Lin Yu knew very well that once he made a decision, he would inevitably face a lot of criticism.

But in competitive sports, the winner takes all!
How much has James decided?
Different, is he considered the second best player in history by the outside world?
As for Stern, he gave the No. 1 pick to another team.

Lin Yu didn't think that this old man really wanted to lose the Chinese market.

If he was really given to other teams, they would not trade Lin Yu.

Will the central bank not show up?
Lin Yu is already invincible no matter what.

2004 5 Month 19 Day.

The NBA playoffs are in full swing at this moment.

Countless fans began to discuss where Lin Yu would go next.

"Lin Yu should have gone to the Celtics, right? The cardinal is going crazy for Lin Yu."

"It's also possible to go to the Bulls or Magic, both of which have even worse records."

"Lin Yu is currently linked to many teams, and the Celtics have already announced that Lin Yu will only go to the Celtics."

"Are you kidding me? If I only go to the Celtics, can the Celtics get the No. 1 pick?"

"..."

Just when countless fans were having a heated discussion about where Lin Yu would go.

A piece of news immediately became a hot topic!
On May 5, Lin Yu will personally appear in the ESPN live broadcast room and make his own draft decision in front of the national broadcast!

This piece of news immediately caused a huge uproar.

"What is this situation? The players make their own decisions?"

"Which team fooled Lin Yu in advance? Could it really be the Celtics?"

"Live broadcast across the United States! Lin Yu wouldn't really name a certain team, right?"

"Now it seems that it is very likely to happen. I feel that the Celtics must have fooled Lin Yu!" "..."

New York, NBA headquarters.

When Stern learned that ESPN was going to broadcast Lin Yu's decision live, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

However, although Lin Yu said he wanted to participate in the draft, he has not yet registered.

June 6th is the NBA registration deadline.

In other words, Stern has no right to control Lin Yu now!

"This guy Arnold..."

Garnett, who was playing in the Western Conference Finals at the time, was also confused.

He scored 30 points and 19 rebounds against Malone, but it didn't make the headlines.

How did Lin Yu's live broadcast of where he decided to go make the headlines?
Thanks to the media’s previous publicity of Lin Yu.

What a historic match between three No. 1 picks, a historic goal, Chamberlain second...

Now Lin Yu is not only well-known in Meili’s family, but also very famous.

When he was about to make the decision live, it instantly attracted widespread attention.

All major sports sections of Meilijia even listed Lin Yu directly on the headlines.

Sports Illustrated: Live broadcast across the US! Will the top pick's destination be decided in advance?
Los Angeles Times: Lin Yu's decision! Where will he go?
Boston Times: Celtics' future hope! Lin Yu made a decision live!

The one with the most exaggerated title is ESPN.

Just use "Historic moment! Lin Yu's decision!" as the title.

Take a look!

What is a title party?
This is!
All the fans and even passers-by have been whetted their appetite.

Everyone is looking forward to the "decision" that Lin Yu will make during the live broadcast across the United States at 6 o'clock.

Houston.

Today, Dayao returned home early.

Although the season is over, it doesn't mean Yao Ming has started to rest.

Dayao started training a long time ago.

Lin Yu’s decision spread like wildfire not only in Meili’s home, but also in China.

After all, as a college player, making this decision, which was broadcast live across the United States, can be said to be a very shocking thing.

"I don't know where Dayu will go? Is it true that Dayu wants to play in Boston, as the Celtics revealed?"

Stillwater City.

Old Kenny had been blocked by the media a long time ago, and the media really wanted to know Lin Yu's "decision" from Old Kenny in advance.

But how would old Kenny know?

As it was almost six o'clock, Old Kenny turned on the TV and waited for Lin Yu to appear.

Regarding the disturbance caused by his disciple, Old Kenny sighed and said, "Lin, I hope you won't regret it in the future!"

portland.

Trail Blazers general manager Patterson sat in front of the TV with a gloomy face.

He knew Lin Yu's "decision" would most likely not be to be a pioneer.

Because in the previous meeting, he did not get a reply from Lin Yu.

He really couldn't understand, what was wrong with the Trail Blazers?
After all, it is a big sports city second only to New York and Los Angeles.

There is also a potential rookie like Zach Randolph in the team.

The boss, Paul Allen, is rich and seems to be a perfect choice no matter how you look at it.

Orlando.

McGrady sat at home. He knew that he couldn't join forces with Lin Yu, but he was very curious about where Lin Yu would eventually go and who he would join forces with.

Six o'clock sharp.

ESPN's nationwide live broadcast officially begins.
