The First Plug-in of Basketball

Zhong Muchen couldn't believe that this sleepy-faced, messy-haired, slovenly big man who looked like he had just finished rolling the sheets in front of his eyes would be Lin Yi, the employer in his mind who made decisions before moving and strategizing.

Presti is really a chicken thief. Lin Yi said with contempt after listening to Zhong Muchen's report.

Yes, I also think his request is a bit too much. Zhong Muchen nodded.

Lin Yi yawned lazily. If he was a guinea pig, he might have eagerly agreed to Presti's request, right?

Presti's condition was that they would choose Lin Yi at all costs, and he said it nicely, as if they were doing it for themselves.

Nonsence! Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are still immature. You expect two young stars to go against the Celtics with the Big Three?

Or go against the Purple and Gold with Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol?

To put it bluntly, the Thunder wanted to be bad at first, but after seeing some potential of this rookie, they became more determined to do badly.

What's the point of laying the foundation before the reconstruction of the dynasty? Why doesn't Presti become a poet?

To put it bluntly is an unspoken rule of the NBA. In order to maintain the balance of each team and to make all investors have fun, there is such a rule for each team to supplement.

For example, the king, how many years has it been bad? Every year, there is hope every year, but it is not the same every year?

As for trading the No. 1 lottery at the top? Okay, so why stop me from trying out with another team?

To put it bluntly, isn't Presti trying to pick up a bargain?

Assuming the Thunder didn't get the No. 1 pick, but in the draft, if other teams didn't try out Lin Yi, they would definitely be worried. So as long as they didn't pick themselves because of this, once their pick fell, Thunder is equivalent to picking up a big party.

To put it simply, Presti just wants to pick up the loopholes. It is best if Lin Yi falls, so that the Thunder can choose Lin Yi without paying any price. If Lin Yi does not fall, it will not be too late to trade up .

My employer, I remember hearing you say that your potential is very important in choosing a team. If the Thunder need to spend a lot of money to get you, will it be a weakening for them? Zhong Muchen asked curiously.

That's different, Xiao Zhong, you know, from the time I decided to enter this rookie class, I am not a human being, I bah, I mean I am not myself anymore, I am a commodity now , what we have to do is not only to sell at a high price, but to increase our own value and brand effect as much as possible! Lin Yi patted Zhong Muchen on the shoulder and said.

Lin Yi gave a simple example, why are men most interested in women who they can't even chase with their lives? Why do people always like to buy expensive products instead of the most suitable ones?

If Lin Yi really wanted to go to the Thunder, and since the Thunder didn't have the No. 1 pick, Lin Yi would definitely find a way to make Presti bleed a lot.

Why?

Because Lin Yi is not an NBA superstar who has already played. In order to form a group, the superstars must try their best to retain the strength of the team they are going to, even at the cost of a salary cut.

But Lin Yi is different, he is a rookie, a rookie who has not yet played!

How Darkomilicic is so unpopular in the NBA Don't think that being a high-ranked rookie means you will be popular. The NBA is a business.

How can the Thunder value themselves if they don't bleed for themselves? You have to know how much resources were spent to acquire players. Doesn't your coach train well enough to be worthy of the general manager?

As for the bigger picture? For rookies, especially Lin Yi, this stuff is pure nonsense.

I'm no saint,

I'm not going to lower my worth.

So Presti's way of deceiving those little white mice is okay, but don't want to hide it from himself who is always messing around with tigers.

So, Xiao Zhong, from now on, treat me as a commodity. What you have to do is very simple, just like meeting Presti. We might as well hold a wait-and-see attitude towards all team invitations, because I The value of each item can still rise. The March Madness schedule will be released soon, and on the stage of March Madness, Lin Yi can increase his value again!

Because, he is only three games away from being promoted. As long as the Wildcats can successfully advance to the quarterfinals, he can immediately raise his strength to a higher level!

After Lin Yi briefly explained to Zhong Muchen, he went back to sleep. When leaving Lin Yi's bedroom, Zhong Muchen heard Lin Yi's voice from the bedroom.

Stephen, sleep better, you've taken up the bed! Damn, I knew I wouldn't share the bed with you!

The life of a basketball player is really colorful, and he doesn't know what kind of ocean horse his employer is riding. Zhong Muchen closed the door and left. At this time, Stephen Curry, who was sleeping soundly, had a nightmare...

...

According to Lin Yi's request, Zhong Muchen held talks with the executives of the Clippers, Warriors, Suns and other teams that are likely to win the No. 1 pick and high picks.

Among them, Zhong Muchen was most impressed by the conversation with Steve Kerr, the general manager of the Phoenix Suns.

Lin is not suitable for traditional positional warfare, he is suitable for running and bombing. He must not gain weight. I noticed his body fat content. Once his weight exceeds 125 kg, his current speed advantage will disappear. He He's not a big man in the traditional sense, he's more like a super small forward wearing a center coat. Cole analyzed Lin Yi's strengths and weaknesses from various aspects, and made a detailed plan for Lin Yi's future.

Our chances of getting the No. 1 pick are not high, but as long as the draft picks are down, we will try our best to trade the No. 1 pick. I appreciate Lin more than Blake Griffin because he is more malleable. .”

And compared to Presti's promise to keep a hand, Steve Kerr's meaning is more direct. Even if Lin Yi can't be selected, it doesn't matter. We will find a way to send Stoudemire and use Xiaobawang as a bargaining chip to trade Lin Yi.

Cole seems to be saying that Lin Yi will definitely be my player next season.

Zhong Muchen told Lin Yi about his meetings with NBA teams these days.

Cole is just Cole. Lin Yi sighed with emotion.

Cole's career as the general manager of the Suns was not considered successful, but this does not mean that Cole's vision is not good, but that the Suns' performance is problematic. The wave of running and bombing whirlwind brought by Nash and the others made Phoenix's attendance rate too high Yes, the Suns want to be bad, but they are too embarrassed to compare with those 76 teams, so in the bad team matchup, the Suns can often win.

And the Suns can hit the playoffs from time to time, which is embarrassing for a team that wants to rebuild...

Is it the sun at this time of day? Nash is at the end of the peak of his career. In fact, Cole has long had the idea of ​​overturning and rebuilding, because he knows that Stoudemire will definitely test the free agent market after his contract expires.

But Stoudemire's knee, the Suns team doctor thinks it's not so secure...

The Suns team doctor, one of the NBA's three major artifacts.

...

At the beginning of March 2009, all NBA teams started their sprint for the playoffs.

The Lakers and Celtics are the two teams that people are most optimistic about.

Of course, the Cavaliers, Magic, Rockets, Spurs, Mavericks and other strong teams also want to try to pull these two teams down...

The Wildcats have been preparing for March Madness during this time, Stephen Curry and Lin Yi are both undergoing final special training.

On the afternoon of March 14, 2009, American time, the NCAA Organizing Committee officially announced the top 68 list of the NCAA tournament. James Harden's team got the wild card qualification for the top 68 of the NCAA as they wished, and fought with the Wildcats. The speedy team of one season also won the favor of the judges as they wished.

In the Wildcats basketball gym, Coach McClupp walked in with a newspaper.

The coach's expression was a little heavy.

Because the NCAA March Madness schedule is also released at the same time.

March Madness is here!
