This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 192 Where Should Yi Jianlian Go?
"Sir, this house has 650 square meters, as well as a garden, a swimming pool and an indoor basketball court, as well as 4 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 4 bathrooms, as well as a private theater and a game room. It can be said that it is only 235 million US dollars. The most affordable luxury home in Charlotte right now."

"This price is a bit expensive!"

Zhou Lin touched his chin and said.

After playing for a year, what taxes are deducted, even if you add bonuses for the playoffs, 300 million US dollars is not enough, and he still has to support his own team, trainers, nutritionists, physical therapists, and more. There are brokers, and the rest is just over 200 million.

To buy this house, you basically have to spend all your salary for a year.

Of course, Zhou Lin's various endorsement fees plus the brokerage company's dividends in one year, there are about 300 million US dollars. As the only Chinese player in active service playing in the NBA, Zhou Lin's ability to attract money is one of the best among rookies. After the 6-game battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers, after playing a classic battle, many endorsements flocked in.

Of course, Zhou Lin will also choose some high-quality companies for publicity. Although the salary may be low, Zhou Lin earns solid money.

Zhou Lin can afford this house.

However, Zhou Lin still thinks it is expensive, plus taxes and seventy-seven eighty-eight expenses, it is estimated to be 260 million US dollars, and the real estate in the United States is different from the real estate industry in China. Most of the real estate in the United States will not The value will increase, and even the price will decrease, making it even more difficult to sell a luxury house.

Now domestic housing prices are still in 4 digits even in many places in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. If Zhou Lin really wants to make money and turn all his money into real estate, it is estimated that after more than ten years, he can sell and sell assets casually. For Zhou Lin, this doesn't make much sense.

When wanting to buy a house, Zhou Lin considered that in the future, he experienced a lot in Charlotte this year, with ups and downs, but one thing is certain, Zhou Lin still has feelings for this team, even if Underestimating himself, Zhou Lin also felt that he might play in Charlotte for a long time, and no team would be willing to trade away a best rookie who had just been cultivated during his rookie period.

So Zhou Lin felt that he would play basketball in Charlotte for at least three years.

And at that time, Misha will also graduate from college, get married and have children, and her schedule will also increase. The two of them still need a small nest, so buying a more comfortable house is a matter of course.

"Then what price do you think is right? Mr. Zhou." The white real estate agent asked.

"I think……"

"160 million!"

Misha walked out from Zhou Lin's side, pointed to the distance, and said: "This is not the best villa area in Charlotte, and the traffic is not particularly good, and Charlotte is not Los Angeles, let alone New York, and there are not many people here. Naturally, there are not many customers who are willing to pay for such a big house and can pay the expensive price of hundreds of dollars. As far as I know, this house has been sold for three years, and the price has dropped from 300 million dollars to 270 million. Then it was 250 million, and then it is now 235 million dollars, but in fact, no one cares about it.”

Zhou Lin was stunned. Zhou Lin originally thought that paying 20 US dollars would be enough, but he didn't expect that Misha's offer would start with [-]% off.

"You first ask the landlord if he can make a concession. By the way, we can pay the full amount."

Misha shook her head to Zhou Lin, indicating that she can make the decision on this matter.

"wait for my call."

The white real estate agent responded helplessly.

Three days later, the final price was negotiated, 208 million, which was 7 dollars lower than Zhou Lin's psychological expectation.

After paying the money and the house, Zhou Lin handed over the rest to Misha.

Yi Jianlian has arrived in the United States.

With three consecutive championships and the finals MVP, Yi Jianlian's season in the CBA is almost perfect, and this year he finally mustered up the courage to come to the United States to challenge the NBA.

At the same time, Sun Yue is also participating in the election. He is preparing to participate in the NBA earlier than Yi Jianlian. He started training in the United States as early as April. Now he is trying out for various teams. Impacting the NBA.

Compared with Sun Yue, Yi Jianlian's prospects are much better.

There is no rush to try out.

Last year's Yi Jianlian was already predicted to be in the top ten, but this year, although the draft year is bigger, not only the twin stars of Yi Jianlian and Oden are shining, but also the Florida Five Tigers who have reached the top of the NCAA this year, including Al. Horford, Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer all have lottery prospects, as well as Michael Conley, Jeff Green and other high-quality players.

According to NBA.DRAFT, Yi Jianlian's predicted pick was as high as No. 4, and basically stabilized around No. 5. It is not much worse than last year's Zhou Lin. Basically, the No. 5-9 No. [-] pick did not run.

It is rare that there is no national team game this year, so Zhou Lin does not need to rush back home.

The biggest basketball event that has just ended is the Men's Basketball Asian Championships.

Because next year the Olympic Games will be held by itself, there is no pressure on Olympic tickets, so the Chinese Basketball Association will focus on training, all second-tier players will play, and finally end the journey as No.10.

Yao Ming has not yet returned to China and is recuperating in Houston.

Therefore, the gathering of the three of them at Yao's restaurant in Houston can be regarded as a wave of soft publicity for Yao Ming's Chinese restaurant.

"A Lian, you train with my trainer for a few days first, and then start the trial training. Have you made any plans to play now?"

It was only at night that they calmed down a bit. The three of them gathered together, and the elder brother Yao Ming made arrangements first.

Because of Zhou Lin's appearance, the Bobcats entered the playoffs, and the Eastern Conference's playoff rankings also changed, so there have been slight changes in the original picks in history.

The current team draft picks are.

No. [-] pick: Portland Trail Blazers.

No. [-] pick: Seattle SuperSonics.

Third pick: Atlanta Hawks.

Fourth pick: Memphis Grizzlies.

Fifth pick: Boston Celtics.

The sixth pick: Milwaukee and the Bucks.

Seventh pick: Minnesota Timberwolves.

Eighth pick: Philadelphia 76ers.

Ninth pick: Chicago Bulls.

[-]th pick: Sacramento Kings.

No.11 pick: Atlanta Hawks.

No.12 pick: Indiana Pacers.

No.13 pick: New Orleans Hornets.

No.14 pick: Los Angeles Clippers.

No.15 pick: New Jersey Nets.

No.16 pick: Detroit Pistons.

No.17 pick: Washington Wizards.

No.18 pick: Charlotte Bobcats.

……

No.20 seventh pick: Houston Rockets.

……

No.30 seventh pick: New Jersey Nets.

……

No.40 seventh pick: Charlotte Bobcats.

……

Fifth pick: Houston Rockets.

……

According to the normal historical line, the original Ah Lenovo went to the Golden State Warriors, which lacked strong insiders. Compared with Milwaukee, which was selected in history, California is undoubtedly a more prosperous place with a better Chinese market, although the pick is low. A little bit.

The eighth pick of the Golden State Warriors came from the Charlotte Bobcats in the deal that sent dunk king Jason Richard.

And now the Charlotte Bobcats have entered the playoffs, with only the 18th pick in the first round this year.

So this transaction does not exist on this historical line.

Therefore, there is no such thing as Yi Jianlian going to the Golden State Warriors.

Because according to the market, Yi Jianlian will not fall out of the top ten no matter how he falls.

What's more, the success of Yao Ming and Zhou Lin in the draft and the temptation of the Chinese market will also lead to the promotion of Yi Jianlian's draft pick.

"What do you think?" Yi Jianlian also said a little confused: "I don't think there is a particularly suitable one at the moment."

Yao Ming shook his head and said, "I still like you to come to our Rockets team. Let alone, our Rockets team really lacks a good power forward. You can open up the space and shoot three-pointers, and you can also play the fifth position. such a pity……"

"We are missing too!"

Zhou Lin raised his hand and said, "UA can play the [-]th and [-]th positions. This is what our Charlotte lacks."

"There's never been a market for quality big men."

"Zhou Lin, will your team trade up?" Yi Jianlian asked.

It would be great to be able to play with his compatriots. Yi Jianlian looked at Yao Ming and Zhou Lin with full expectation, especially Zhou Lin. The name is also spread.

Playing with Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin's breakthrough ability and passing ability correspond to Yi Jianlian's ability to open up space and eat cakes. Although the two have only played together for more than a month, they have a good understanding.

Yao Ming said with a smile: "Don't think too much about it. Xiao Zhou doesn't have the ability to do it. That's something the management should consider. If you came to the NBA last year, it was the right time. We held the eighth pick last year, but this year, we only have the No. 27 pick." No. 55 and No. [-]."

Historically, the Rockets' draft picks were 26th and 54th, but it was still because of the Bobcats' butterfly effect that they squeezed the New Jersey Nets out of the playoffs. As a result, their first-round picks and second-round picks dropped. one.

Zhou Lin also nodded and said: "The Bobcats probably won't make any big moves. The Bobcats only have the 18th and 47th picks. If Sun Yue wants to, he can try to come to our Bobcats. In the middle and late stages of the second round, he Whether there is a lottery or a chance."

Zhou Lin thought for a while and said.

Needless to say, the Houston Rockets, the MM combination is extremely stable, plus Battier, Alston and others will not be traded, so the structure will not allow too much change for the draft, and the Rockets manager Mo X, He is also a guy who likes to sign Taobao with a low pick. Asking him to trade players for draft picks is almost tantamount to cutting flesh.

As for the Bobcats, the team has already accumulated enough rookies. Now Okafor, Felton, Roy, and Zhou Lin Walter Herman all need to be cultivated. How can they choose another rookie.

And after reaching the playoffs, the start of next season will be different.

According to Zhou Lin's prediction, Boss Joe will probably go to the free market to find some veterans to supplement, or make some deals, but there is a high probability that he will not mix too much on the draft day.

"However, you can also come to try out, if you have time." Zhou Lin thought for a while and added.

Jordan was a very aggressive, even domineering guy.

He also brought the arrogance of his playing period into the management.

If Yi Jianlian is really in line with Jordan's idea, it is not impossible to buy a high draft pick directly.

Just like last year's draft, the starting point guard Brevin and the sixth man Sean May were exchanged for the fifth overall pick. Getting Brandon Roy is a sure-fire deal.

Of course, the probability of this kind of thing happening is not high. After all, although Yi Jianlian is excellent, he really hasn't reached the level that makes people salivate.

"It would have been nice to have run last year."

Zhou Lin also said the same thing, there are too many good big men this year.

Let alone Durant's type of special big man.

The rest are Greg Oden, Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Jeff Green, Brandon Wright, Spencer Hawes... a batch of lottery, and even the former The super rookie with the third overall pick probably made the general managers of each team tricky.

Yi Jianlian's incidental advantage is the strong Chinese market.

According to Zhou Lin's guess, it is still very likely that Yi Jianlian will go to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Because of the top three picks, Yi Jianlian basically doesn't have to think about it. The only one who can fight is probably the third Eagles.

But to go PK with Al Horford, the chances are estimated to be very slim.

As for the fourth pick, Yi Jianlian has no chance at all.

For the Memphis Grizzlies, Pau Gasol has not been traded yet, and the flying mouse Stoudemire on the back line is 34 years old. It is reasonable for the team to choose Michael Conley, and they will not even have a second Choice, unless Kevin Durant or Greg Oden falls, more than 99% will not make any changes.

The best point guard in this class is Michael Conley, and he's far ahead of everyone else. The closest thing to him is probably Acie Law or Rodney Stuckey, and both are complete threats Less than Conley, so Michael Conley's entry into the Memphis Grizzlies is a match made in heaven.

As for the fifth pick, you can give it a try. The Boston Celtics will make a big move this summer. They will acquire Ray Allen from the Sonics and Garnett from the Timberwolves to form the Big Three. Of course they can be sold. will sell out.

And this time Jeff Green, who was supposed to be selected, will become a bargaining chip for the Supersonics to trade Ray Allen.

If you switch to the United Arab Emirates, you can go to the Supersonics and have a chance with Durant, and in the future, Westbrook and James Harden will slowly come to their opposite. With these players, Yi Jianlian's highest achievement Probably only become the level of Neptune Adams.

Supersonic (Thunder) has a really good draft vision, but it's a pity that he likes to make wedding dresses for others.

The sixth pick, the Bucks.

The cold ball market is small, and Yi Jianlian would be reluctant to go if he were to go.

There is also Villanueva, a lottery pick in 05 who overlaps with the United Arab Emirates.

It can only be said that following the historical line, the UAE may only play in the NBA for a few years.

Seventh pick: Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Wolf King will leave this summer, and the team needs a similar type of player to make up for it, and Al Jefferson came to the Timberwolves from Boston to grow into an All-Star player, and Al Jefferson is the kind of floor flow The nature of the inside line, if Yi Jianlian can partner with him to open up the projection, it seems that there is still a possibility of a certain chemical reaction.

Eighth pick: Philadelphia 76ers with Samuel Dalembert and rebounder Reggie Evans.

This team is still dominated by the outside line, basically playing support inside, and Yi Jianlian really does not have the potential to become a high-quality blue-collar.

As for the ninth pick, according to the current historical line, the probability is not high.

But if Yi Jianlian falls to the ninth overall pick, the Bulls may really give up Joakim Noah and choose Yi Jianlian, and the facts have proved that Daben is already unusable, and it would be good for Yi Jianlian to take over.

In addition, Tyrus Thomas is really not easy to use, and the team may invest in Yi Jianlian, who has better skills.

"The Boston Celtics in fifth, the Minnesota Timberwolves in seventh, and the Chicago Bulls in ninth. The top four are unnecessary, and you can't fall so low after ninth. You can try out all of these. Of course, you have time. If you want to, you can also go to the Rockets and Bobcats to try, maybe you can impress the management, but I don’t think there is much hope.”

Zhou Lin didn’t mention the Milwaukee Bucks, because Yi Jianlian’s NBA career started from the Milwaukee Bucks. In fact, his first season was not that bad, but in Zhou Lin’s opinion, maybe it’s good to go another way of.

Going to the Supersonics to form a twin star with Durant, and I have a good relationship with Durant, so that Adu can take care of his introverted Chinese compatriot.

Go to the Timberwolves and try to become the next wolf king Garnett. After all, Mike Hale has already cultivated a Garnett.

In the ninth pick in Chicago, Yi Jianlian may have the most chances, and even the opportunity to start directly in the new season. Even if he can't start, he should learn defense from Daben first. Just take over directly.

"Boston, the fifth overall pick, is not bad. Their inside line is relatively weak, and there are still many opportunities for you to go."

Yao Ming thought for a while and said, of course he couldn't understand what Zhou Lin said.
