Chapter 67 Taking Over Boston!
The Wizards, with the sixth pick, then selected Devin Harris.

But Devin Harris is just a bargaining chip.

After the Wizards selected Devin Harris, the trade happened.

Wizards sent out: Jerry Stackhouse, Christian Laettner and Devin Harris.

Mavericks send out: Antawn Jamison.

This deal can be said to be the Wizards using a garbage contract in exchange for ready-to-fight power.

Although Jerry Stackhouse is also a former All-Star player, he has only played in 26 games this season due to a knee injury.

And he still has three years left on the contract he signed at this time.

The Wizards naturally had to find a way to get rid of his contract, so they hit it off with the Mavericks.

The Suns selected Luol Deng with the eighth pick, just like in the original history.

Lin Yu was very curious whether this historical cardinal would intervene.

After all, this transaction, to some extent, can indeed be described as a robbery.

In the original history, the Suns selected Luol Deng and then sent him to the Bulls.

In exchange for Jackson Froman, the Bulls' second pick in the second round, and a future first-round draft pick.

If we only look at the chips to evaluate this deal, then it can only be described as robbery.

One can even say that there is something wrong with the Suns management!

But the deal served another purpose.

The rookie contract signed by Luol Deng is worth $4 million over four years, and Luol Deng will be paid $1065 million next season.

The Suns' original target was Kobe, but Kobe originally stayed in Los Angeles.

After signing Nash for the low price of 6 million for 6560 years, the Suns found themselves still had salary space.

Therefore, the target of reinforcement was changed to Clippers small forward Quentin Richardson.

In order to free up enough salary space, the team directly signed Quentin Richardson and chose to trade Luol Deng.

In the original history, after the Suns sent Luol Deng away, they signed a 6-year, $4800 million contract with Quentin Richardson.

So for now, you can't say that the Suns' operation is wrong.

After all, if you want to go through the normal trading process and sign and then trade for Quentin Richardson, you will need certain chips.

With the tenth pick in the first round, the 76ers selected Iguodala.

As a man who single-handedly lowered the value of the FMVP, it is indeed not a loss to choose Iguodala with this pick.

What surprised Lin Yu was that the Jazz selected Al Jefferson.

As the "second generation Wolf King", Al Jefferson was also selected to the third team in his career, so choosing him with the 14th pick is a good choice.

Originally, Jazz head coach Sloan did not want to choose Al Jefferson.

But Okur, who had been in a good relationship with him before, suddenly said that he didn't want to go to the Jazz, which made him very depressed.

After some research, I finally chose Al Jefferson.

'Eagle King' Josh Smith was selected by the Hawks with the 17th pick.

As long as he doesn't get crazy, JR Smith, who is an All-Star every day, was selected by the Hornets with the 18th pick.

In addition to the No. 1 pick, the Celtics also have the 24th and 25th picks in the first round.

"In 2004, at the NBA Draft, with the 1th pick in the first round, the Boston Celtics selected Tony Allen, a 93-meter-tall guard from the University of Oklahoma!"

Tony was also very excited when he heard that he was selected by the Celtics.

This means that he can play basketball with Lin Yu again.

Stillwater City.

Old Kenny in front of the TV also smiled when he saw his two disciples playing together again. "Lin Yu, Tony, you two should cheer together!"

The Celtics then selected West with the 25th pick.

West's reputation was indeed not very good because of the 'xx gate' incident.

But overall, he is still a qualified 3D player.

David Harrison, the top center in the Big 12 Conference who had played against Lin Yu, was selected by the Pacers with the 29th pick in the first round.

Ariza was also selected by the Knicks with the 13th pick in the second round.

Ariza is also an excellent 3D player and can even be said to be a championship puzzle player.

The biggest reason why Ariza fell to the 13th pick in the second round was his lack of shooting.

That’s right, when Ariza first entered the league, he hadn’t developed his shooting ability.

In the original history, Ariza did not develop his shooting until the 2008-09 season.

Ariza is now at most a rookie with good defense.

Therefore, the Celtics did not take advantage of Ariza, and Lin Yu did not care.

Before the game started, He Shengzhen, who was highly praised by the Korean media, was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the second round.

The 1 draft officially ended with the Rockets selecting Luz Flores, a 88-meter-tall guard.

After the draft, it doesn’t mean that Lin Yu is fine.

Coach Zhang had already arranged an interview specifically for Lin Yu.

"Dayu, first of all, congratulations on becoming the second No. 1 scholar in China."

"Many viewers, including me, believe that the future of Chinese basketball is bright. We have two No. 1 picks and Yi Jianlian..."

"I know that you are about to go to the Olympics with the men's basketball team. What are your goals for this Olympics?"

Olympic goal?
"This is my first time participating in the Olympics. As for my goal, I hope that my arrival can help the men's basketball team break through history."

What Lin Yu said was, to some extent, bullshit.

But at this time, it was really difficult for him to say anything about goals.

After all, even the 'Stone Buddha' Tim Duncan once failed in international competitions.

In the original history, Duncan also admitted that he was not adapted to FIBA ​​rules after the 2004 Athens Olympics.

Lin Yu can call the shots in the NCAA, but he has never played in international competitions.

He also didn't know whether he was just there to be a mascot in the national team, or whether he was really going to charge into battle.

At this time, Lin Yu naturally would not say how he would lead the men's basketball team.

"It's good to have this goal. Dayu, you are still young. Even if you can't make it to the top eight this year, I think you can definitely make it in 08."

Coach Zhang didn’t care at this time, after all, Lin Yu had played college basketball before.

College basketball is not professional basketball.

Although Coach Zhang is confident in Lin Yu's talent, he really doesn't think that Lin Yu's strength is the same as Yao Ming's and can carry a team forward.

After asking Lin Yu a few simple questions, the interview came to an end.

After the press conference, Lin Yu, Tony Allen and West flew to Boston together.

The purpose of going to Boston was mainly for the press conference.

The Celtics had finally managed to get Lin Yu here, so it was naturally impossible for them to let Lin Yu not even show his face.

At the press conference, Lin Yu faced the reporters' cameras and began to answer their questions.

Finally, the picture of Lin Yu holding the No. 25 jersey, Tony on the left holding the No. 42 jersey, and West on the right holding the No. 13 jersey was also successfully captured by reporters.
