Chapter 64 The Celtics won the No. pick!
Boston.
After hearing Lin Yu's answer, the cardinal's smile became even more intense.
New York, NBA headquarters.
Stern's face turned very ugly at this time.
"Respect and trust? That's right. Even the top pick may be a dud. It's okay for some teams to be conservative."
"Arnold, you win this time."
Stern knew that when Lin Yu said this, he had already lost.
Will Lin Yu wait for four years in the NCAA before joining the NBA? Will the Chinese market open up after three years?
Is it necessary for Stern to go against money?
The next day, the headlines of all sports sections were about Lin Yu’s decision to live broadcast.
ESPN: Respect and trust! Lin Yu made the decision live!
Sports Illustrated: Chamberlain II has decided to go to the Celtics!
Los Angeles Times: Over 1500 million views! Lin Yu's decision shocked the world!
……
After Lin Yu made the decision, many reporters also wanted to interview some team management.
Among them is Magic general manager Weisbrod.
"Mr. Weisbrod, if the Magic got the No. 1 pick and Lin Yu couldn't come to the Magic, who would you choose as the No. 1 pick?"
"If the Magic got the No. 1 pick, I would also choose Lin Yu."
Weisbrod's answer surprised the reporter, as he did not expect him to give such an answer.
"Can you tell me your reasons?"
"Because I don't want to be called a fool in the future. In the future, someone will definitely say that it was that fool named Weisbrod who chose a fake instead of Lin Yu. Why didn't he choose Lin Yu?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Weisbrod's voice.
Lin Yu’s current situation is basically a combination of Emeka, Okafor and Dwight Howard.
Not only is he powerful in combat, he is also extremely talented.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Yu will basically not fall into the water.
Anyone who holds the top pick at this time and does not choose Lin Yu is a fool.
Otherwise, a trade is also possible. Anyway, anyone who holds the No. 1 pick at this time and does not choose Lin Yu will definitely be called a fool in the future.
And the better Lin Yu beat him, the more he scolded him!
Trail Blazers general manager Patterson, Suns' D'Antoni and others all gave similar answers.
Anyone who doesn’t choose Lin Yu is a fool. At worst, he can be traded.
5 month 24 day.
The NBA lottery conference was held as scheduled.
Lin Yu has returned to Houston and is watching the ESPN live broadcast with Paul, Tony and Roy.
When I saw that Trail Blazers general manager Patterson drew the 13th pick in the first round.
Paul also started to tease at this time: "Lin, if I am not wrong, the Trail Blazers wanted you to play in Portland before, but now you are only the thirteenth pick."
"It's really hard to say about things like drawing lots."
Lin Yu didn't know what to say about this. After all, it seemed that the Trail Blazers' luck was really bad this time.
"Lin, do you think the Celtics can win the No. 1 pick?" Tony asked at this time.
"can!"
Lin Yu answered straightforwardly, because he and the cardinal had done everything they should have done.
The Celtics' live draw today was by "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell.
NBA Vice President Russ Granik began reading out the rankings one by one.
The Bulls drew the fourth pick in the first round.
In the end, only three teams were left: the Celtics, Magic and Clippers.
The draw result for the third pick came out, and Lord Beile sighed helplessly.
Magic general manager Weisbrod also began to get nervous at this time.
He wanted to know who won the top prize!
When Las Granik was the first to recite the magic trick.
The Lord of the Rings no longer concealed the smile on his face.
The Celtics got the No. 1 pick!
The Celtics got the No. 1 pick!
The fans in front of the TV know exactly what this means!
Lin Yu is about to go to Boston!
Tony, who was sitting in front of the TV, also started to get excited. "Lin! The Celtics got the No. 1 pick! You're going to be the No. 1 pick soon!"
"What's so great about being the top scholar? Maybe I can be the top scholar next year, too."
Although Paul was jealous, he still didn't want to be outdone by Lin Yu.
Roy was helpless.
How much does Ning want to defeat Lin Yu?
Lin Yu’s talent is so high that he is not even from Earthling.
Why would you compare yourself with him?
When Lin Yu saw this scene, although he had expected it, he was still very happy at this moment.
But happiness also means pressure!
He had made it very clear when he made the decision.
He went to the Celtics to become the core and to revive the Celtics.
Revive the top NBA team!
Plus the heat of Lin Yu’s previous decision.
At this time, Lin Yu's traffic has exploded.
Next season, even now the media's attention has been drawn to it.
And more attention often means more criticism!
It is conceivable that next season, if Lin Yu does not play well.
Maybe the media will launch a barrage of ridicule.
The media may not be targeting Lin Yu intentionally, but no one can go against money.
At the same time, Lin Yu also began to look forward to his professional basketball career in the NBA.
"I'm already looking forward to next season!"
Tony also enviously said, "I'm not looking forward to next season. I'll be going back and forth between various teams to start tryouts in early June!"
According to the original history, Tony was selected by the Celtics.
But in the original history, Tony did not win the NCAA championship.
Maybe Tony's ranking has already risen at this time, so Lin Yu did not speak at this time and told Tony that they should still be on the same team.
On the other side, the No. 1 pick has been settled.
The Cardinal and Ainge also began to deal with the Celtics' affairs at this time.
At this moment, Anji was looking at the names on the list that Lin Yu had given him.
He asked the cardinal, "Teacher, do we really want to help him trade like the list Lin Yu gave us?"
"Players like Battier are indeed outstanding, but the Grizzlies may not be willing to let them go. As for the others, I really don't see any merit in trading them."
The cardinal said nothing, took the list from Angie's desk and began to look through it.
Sean Battier.
Raja Bell.
Stephen Jackson.
Tony Allen.
There is no All-Star player on this list.
Either a blue-collar worker or a rookie.
In fact, Lin Yu never thought about the Big Three.
In the original history, whether it was the Celtics Big Three, the Heat Big Three or the Cavaliers Big Three, All-Star players made sacrifices.
Gentleman Lei has completely turned into an off-ball shooter.
Bosh became the first player.
Love is no longer the double-double machine he once was.
The Celtics have him and Pierce, and if they get some role players, it would be even more suitable in Lin Yu's opinion.
"Interesting, Lin Yu is really starting to build a team around himself, so he picked some role players."
"He told me before that he wanted to team up with Kobe. It seems that he was probably just saying it casually."
"But since I promised Lin Yu that I would have a certain say in him, then let's get two players from this list to help him!"
The Cardinal came to this conclusion as he looked through the information of the players on the roster.
