"Man, you were not selected by the Nets, you were selected by Phoenix, so don't cry in despair. Although it is not New York, at least it is a place with good exposure in the new season!"

Curry has been crying since he learned that he was selected by the Nets. However, before the interview, his agent told him the finally confirmed news.

"Phoenix? The sun, the sun?" Curry was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then his whole expression became much brighter.

As his agent said, Phoenix is ​​indeed a very good place compared to New Jersey.

And... the figure of Lin Ri appeared in his mind for the first time... that Chinese beast was also there!

Being a teammate with such a guy, well, it should be a good feeling...right?

"No bad, no bad!" The more Curry thought about it, the happier he became. With his baby face, he looked like a primary school student.

Hey, hey, hey, we are all adults, can you be more mature?

Soon, the league also officially announced the news: the New Jersey Nets sent the signed Stephen Curry to the Phoenix Suns.

Curry smiled and changed the team cap on his head... from the Nets team cap to the Suns team cap, ah ~ it feels great!

Soon, reporters who heard the news surrounded Curry:

"Man, I heard that you will be traded to the Suns and will join forces with Steve Nash and the Sun. How do you feel?"

"The Suns already have Steve Nash and Goran Dragic at the one position. What position do you think you will get?"

"After being traded from New Jersey to the Suns, what are your thoughts now?"

Stephen Curry is a standard NBA "second generation star". His father, Dell Curry, is still the scoring leader in the history of the New Orleans Hornets.

This gives Stephen Curry no shortage of exposure.

He has also been very popular in this year's draft.

But now, there are obviously more reporters surrounding him than usual, including some Chinese reporters, which makes Curry, who is usually very calm in front of the camera, feel a little dizzy now.

"How does it feel to be teammates with Steve and the Sun? Although it's still some time away from this day, it will definitely feel great, no doubt about it!"

"I enjoy competition. No matter who I compete with, I will maintain a positive attitude..."

"I accept all arrangements. This is the first step to becoming a professional player, isn't it?"

Stephen Curry instinctively answered the reporters' questions...

“Steph was traded to the Suns?”

On the other side, Lin Ri, who was being interviewed by Chinese media, also learned about the news that Stephen Curry was traded from the Nets to the Suns. His expression was slightly stunned, and then he also showed a hint of joy.

First, he finally had a rookie in the same class join the Suns with him, even though Curry is two years older than him.

Secondly, he has heard of Stephen Curry. He is the leading scorer in all NCAA Division I leagues this year. During the NCAA regular season, he averaged 28.5 points per game. He has a strong scoring ability. He was at Davidson University.

The four teammates along with him are nicknamed "Stephen Curry and his four pick-and-roll teammates". It can be said that the entire team is completely supported by him.

Speaking of which, Lin Ri felt quite regretful that he didn't meet this guy in March Madness.

Now I suddenly heard that this guy has become his teammate.

Needless to say, it was quite a surprise.

"Let's go, let's take you to see my new teammates!"

Surprised, Lin Ri also waved his hand and walked towards the interview point where Stephen Curry was.

His outgoing personality made the Chinese reporters following him stunned.

They interviewed so many Chinese players before, such as Yao Ming and others, but they were not so lively.

But, if you really want to say it, this kind of personality is quite suitable for the NBA...

The Arab League's acclimatization in the NBA has made the Chinese media pay special attention to the possible impact on his character. But now it seems that this issue should not affect Lin Ri.

He is a little more outgoing than the average American.

Of course, this group of Chinese media has just begun to contact Lin Ri, otherwise they would know that this is not Lin Ri's extroversion, but more open-minded.

Lin Ri, who had just arrived in the United States, was not so comfortable facing the media.

Just one year of experience in the NCAA, as well as the honors and achievements achieved in the NCAA, have made Lin Ri more confident and calm now.

"Uh-huh?"

"What's going on? Why are you here?"

"Hey, hey, man, don't jump in line..."

Lin Ri wanted to say hello to Stephen Curry, and then the reporters on both sides gathered into a group. Now it was really three levels inside and three outside.

Fortunately, Lin Ri is tall, and Stephen Curry is also 1.91 meters tall. If the person standing inside is Chris Paoquan... even the reporters on the outermost edge may not be able to see others even if they have their feet on the ground.

"Hello, Stephen, I heard that you were traded to the Suns. Let's cheer for the new season!"

"Come on, come on, come on!"

Stephen Curry, who was already dizzy, became even more dizzy when he saw Lin Ri suddenly standing next to him.

Lin Ri's enthusiasm caught him off guard.

Feeling dizzy, Lin Ri continued the interview with him, and then left the first photo of the two of them together in front of the camera.

In the photo, Lin Ri smiled brightly and touched Stephen Curry's head...

"Come on, man, see you in the summer league!"

"Come on, you two, make our Sun Devils famous!"

"Also, Jeff, you went to the Lakers, maybe you are the one who gets the championship ring first!"

After that, it was time to take the official makeup photos, promotional photos and videos with the NBA. After all this was done, Lin Ri, James Harden and Jeff had a meal together.

During this period, they received a congratulatory call from Sandeck, chatted for a while, and agreed to go back together when Arizona State University starts school - by then the Arizona State University arena named after Lin will have been renovated, and James will be there.

After eating, the three of them went back to their respective rooms. Next, they really had to go their separate ways and fight for their own futures.

Fortunately, the league is so big, and the 30 teams have to play twice a year at the most, so they can still meet, which makes the separation between the three of them not much sad.

…

During this period, major media outlets also successively reported news related to this year's NBA.

Lin Ri, who became the No. 1 pick in 2009, is undoubtedly the focus of the entire league.

There is also the most news about him among all rookies...

Among them, the one that caused the biggest repercussions was an article by ESPN, "Look forward to this guy who made all the talented insiders in the 2009 class fall down the draft!"

The author who wrote this article specifically calculated the final draft picks of the talented insiders in the 2009 class. He found that the final draft picks of most of the new insiders in the 2009 class were lower than they expected.

Especially for those who had played against Lin Ri in the NCAA, their final rankings were lower than expected.

Before Griffin met Lin Ri, he was ranked No. 1 on all major websites, but after playing against Lin Ri, he was ultimately ranked second in the first round;

Hasheem Thabeet was once ranked among the top three predicted picks in the 2009 draft, but after playing against Lin Ri, his final pick was the tenth in the first round and he was selected by the Cavaliers, which dropped by almost seven or eight picks.

;

Earl Clark was originally predicted to be a stable lottery seed, but he was not selected until the 17th pick in the first round, which dropped by almost four or five picks;

Jordan Hill was the worst. He was originally ranked in the top ten on major prediction websites, but he finally fell to the 19th pick in the first round. He was about to fall into the second half of the first round. He dropped by almost 11 points in total.

A pick, if his own predicted pick were not high enough, he would be another DeAndre Jordan second generation...

There was nothing we could do. Among these talented insiders, he and Lin Ri were both in the Pac-12. They met three times in a row in one season and were beaten violently every time. The misery was really impressive.

Even if those general managers with high picks wanted to draft him at first, after the image of him being beaten unconsciously appeared in their minds, they could only shake their heads slightly and then give up on him.

What a miserable child... You have to know that the difference from the top ten in the first round to the nineteenth in the first round is not only as simple as a dozen picks, but also means that Jordan Hill's rookie contract will lose nearly 10 million in total.

salary.

Tyler Hansbrough is a special case among this group of insiders. He was eventually selected by the Pacers with the 15th overall pick in the first round, which was not far behind his originally predicted pick.

However, "Five-Star North Carolina" was defeated by the Sun in the NCAA finals, which had a great impact on Taylor's reputation. He who could have been called a "superstar" in the NCAA therefore received much less attention.

, those fans who originally had expectations for him were somewhat disappointed with him after this time.

Not only that, several products that Hansbrough originally intended to endorse also gave up the idea because of his failure, which indirectly cost him nearly 5 million in contracts.

"The dominance of the sun is really reflected all the time!"

"To be honest, if I were one of these new insiders from the 2009 class, I would have played in the NCAA for one more year. I don't believe there will be a guy named The Sun next year!"

"This guy is really great. This league needs such talented players!"

It is also the summary of this article, allowing all fans to once again understand Lin Ri's dominance in the NCAA this year.

This also makes them look forward to what kind of bloody storm this beast from China will set off after entering the alliance...

"Welcome to the Suns, man, I can't wait to see you again!"

"Hahaha, I've watched your dunk highlights a dozen times. Man, it must be a wonderful thing to be your teammate!"

"Congratulations on becoming the No. 1 pick, and congratulations on joining the Suns. Try to become great like Yao!"

Suns players also immediately expressed their welcome to Lin Ri via Twitter.

Including Shaquille O'Neal also posted a message expressing his welcome to Lin Ri.

This surprised many experts. After all, they all knew that the Suns' selection of Lin Ri meant that Shaquille O'Neal was about to be traded...
