When Stern announced the result, many people at the scene slowly had question marks on their faces.
Bulls draft Lin Ying?
Ninth pick?!
Where is this?
Are the Bulls like the Bucks in opening blind boxes?
"this……"
Yang Yi, who was broadcasting live in China at the live broadcast booth, was also stunned.
Don't tell me, this is even more outrageous than the Bucks selecting Yi Jianlian!
After all, Yi Jianlian is there in the draft. If the Bucks don't select him, there's no guarantee that the seventh-ranked Timberwolves won't select him.
But Lin Ying predicted that he would be ranked around 15th, and now he is ranked 9th!
This is so surprising!
As mentioned before, the top ten picks in a big year of the draft are very valuable.
"Congratulations to Lin Ying! He is the ninth pick in this year's draft. This is a big year for the draft, but two Chinese players have entered the top ten!"
But Yang Yi's mind was spinning very fast.
Don’t worry about why, it’s in the top ten!
One six and one nine, if you don’t brag, you are not a human being!
…
Sonics draft cabin.
Presti was also confused.
He spent a lot of effort in trading to get the No. 11 pick, but the result...
Are you going to tell him now that he's been intercepted?!
It’s incredible!
Like people outside, he had never heard that the Bulls were interested in Lin Ying before!
Moreover, this pick is really a sure thing.
He was still in a state of confusion. Sander called him over there and asked him if he still wanted the 11th pick.
If you want it, you also need a ghost!
There are no people left, so there is no use in coming!
Of course, he definitely couldn't say that. After taking a deep breath, he expressed his need in a tactful way.
…
The same thing happened in the draft houses of the Suns and Lakers.
Although they were rejected by the Hornets and the Hawks' draft rights were traded away, they have not given up yet.
The Lakers are contacting the 76ers, and the Suns are contacting the Clippers, and they are still talking.
As a result, a large-sized Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.
Come on, don’t be too busy.
…
Lin Ying was also stunned for a while.
He thought about the possibility of being drafted by many teams.
But that doesn't include the Bulls.
Because the Bulls have never shown any interest in him.
No, to be more precise, I have no interaction with him at all.
Of course, if you include the Chicago combine trial training, it would be a bit ridiculous. Who is not training there?
Yes, he was lamenting Yi Jianlian earlier, but the same thing happened to him in the blink of an eye!
Sure enough, not all flags are known by themselves when they are set?
Barnes reminded him to get up.
He took a deep breath, then stood up, hugged his uncle, hugged Barnes, and then hugged Duffy.
Turning around again, he also bumped fists with Randy Williams and nodded to Wanda.
Then, he took the Bulls hat from the staff and walked slowly onto the stage.
Bull, just bull!
Speaking of which, the bulls during this period are not weak either!
Last season they won 49 games, ranking third in the Eastern Conference!
And everyone is talking about this youth army and that youth army. The Bulls are the first youth army to emerge in this era!
Star player Ben Gordon: He averaged 21 points per game at his peak last season and shot 40%+ from three-pointers for two consecutive seasons. He is known as: Michael Gordon!
Luol Deng: The strongest forward among the All-Stars, tough and able to play. In history, the trade between Kobe and the Bulls almost happened in this year. It was because the Lakers insisted on asking for Luol Deng, and finally the Kobe trade was rejected. People said:
Pippen II!
Andres Nocioni: Violence incarnate, no matter how many people you take off the ball the moment it takes off, everyone will dunk it. He is known as: The Argentine Beast!
Kirk Hinrich: The best defensive white guard, representative of the academic point guard, organized and capable of three-pointers, member of the American Men's Basketball Dream Team.
…
In addition to these youth army representatives, there are also veteran Ben Wallace, brutal Tyrus Thomas, outside defender Sefolosha, etc.
After entering the NBA, you will have the opportunity to follow this group of people to win the championship, which is not bad!
Moreover, if the first year is bad enough, you might be able to wait for Rose!
Of course the most important thing is the 9th pick!
In history, when did the Bulls draft Noah?
In other words, the draft was supposed to be for Noah, but now it’s him?
Is there anything more exciting than this?
After thinking about it, he was still in a pretty good mood!
When he walked onto the stage, he reached out his hand actively as he walked towards Stern.
"Congratulations and good luck to you."
Stern smiled kindly and blessed him.
This scene is even more 2k.
After shaking hands, Lin Ying faced the camera and prepared to take a group photo like other rookies.
But unlike other rookies, he unzipped his suit when taking a group photo.
On the two inner sides of his suit, there is a Chinese flag on each side!
The fans at the scene had no reaction, but the domestic fans watching the live broadcast of the draft instantly went crazy.
China Red in NBA Draft!
This is very embarrassing!
Stern also didn't expect Lin Ying to prepare this move.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong.
On the contrary, he felt that Lin Ying was very creative.
This will set off a big wave of public opinion in China.
That's exactly what he wanted to see.
…
After taking the photo together, Lin Ying went off stage to be interviewed by a tnt reporter.
Similar to what Yi Jianlian was asked before, reporters also asked him about his impressions and expectations of the Bulls.
"No one doesn't know the Bulls, just like no one doesn't know Michael Jordan. I know the team now has Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, Andres Nocioni,
Ben Wallace, this is a very competitive team in the East and I'm looking forward to joining them!"
Lin Ying and Yi Jianlian both have introverted personalities, but the difference between the two can still be seen from their reactions after being selected.
Lin Ying's emotional intelligence online.
And because he has clairvoyance, he knows more than Yi Jianlian.
In addition, he has played in the United States for two years, especially his experience in the NCAA in the past year, which makes him know how to deal with the media.
Or it can be said that Yi Jianlian is really introverted, and Lin Ying is already showing signs of turning into a sultry person!
During the interview, Lin Ying also glanced from time to time to see if any staff members were coming.
He was also afraid that like Green, he would be notified of being traded before he finished speaking.
Fortunately, nothing like this happened.
That's right. All the accidents in the draft can't happen to him, right?
Lin Ying was guided by the staff to go to the media room over there.
Players selected by the lottery must go over to accept questions from reporters.
"Forest."
He was walking that way when Duffy came over.
When he was being interviewed just now, he didn't know where Duffy was.
"I have good news and bad news."
Daffy said with a smile.
Lin Ying looked at Duffy in confusion, but her heart twitched unconsciously.
Could it be that he set the flag again?
And Americans also use this trick to whet their appetites?
Fortunately, before he could ask, Duffy had already told him both pieces of news.
"The bad news is..."
Duffy paused when he said this.
"You were traded."
"..."
Lin Ying felt a little numb.
Fuck my state of mind!
Did you avoid the first day of junior high school but not the fifteenth day?
Moreover, he is a combined version of Yi Jianlian and Green!
First, he was intercepted by a team that came out of nowhere, and then after he finished expressing his expectations for the team, he turned around and was traded!
This wave is to let him feel in advance that "business is just business"?
or……
“Was this trade done before the draft?”
Lin Ying asked.
Daffy smiled and nodded.
Lin Ying's mind is still very flexible.
"That's the good news I want to tell you. The team that traded you paid a big price, and they value you."
Lin Ying took a long breath after hearing this.
Okay, at least he is not abandoned, on the contrary, he is valued.
This is an important point.
And it is indeed, as Duffy said, good news.
"Where? The sun?"
Daffy shook his head.
"Lakers?"
Duffy still shook his head.
Lin Ying did not continue to guess. These two teams were the most likely to trade up to select him.
If not, he wouldn't have guessed it.
"Nuggets."
Fortunately, Duffy didn't continue to talk about it, but said with a smile.
Of course he has to laugh.
Compared to the Bulls, the Nuggets' situation is much better.
Although the Bulls have a good record, they lack stars.
But the Nuggets have Anthony and Iverson, who have their own focus.
Moreover, Anthony is also his client!
"Nuggets?"
Lin Ying was stunned.
"Lin, I found you!"
Durant just now left the media room.
Every one of those reporters wanted to interview him, which almost annoyed him to death.
After coming out, he immediately looked for Lin Ying, and then saw Lin Ying being selected with the ninth overall pick on the big screen.
He immediately wanted to hug Lin Ying and celebrate!
Seeing Duffy and Lin Ying chatting, he came in.
Upon hearing this, I found out that Lin Ying had been traded to the Nuggets.
"Nuggets?"
And the next second he was excited.
Before this, when the University of Texas went to Denver to play the Crazies, they went to the Pepsi Center!
At that time, Durant also said that Anthony was a nice person and that Lin Ying would be great if he went to play for the Nuggets.
The result is now good, Lin Ying is really going to dig gold!
"I'm such a genius!"
Durant was instantly filled with narcissism.
Lin Ying rolled her eyes at Durant, and then recalled her previous experience at the Pepsi Center.
His idea at the time was that the Nuggets didn't have draft picks, so it was impossible for him to go.
Did he set a flag again without realizing it?
"They traded Marcus Camby for you."
Duffy continued.
"Didn't he just become Defensive Player of the Year?"
Lin Ying was a little surprised.
Although Camby's reputation in the league is not very good, in the eyes of some team management, he is a data brush.
But being able to rack up statistics in the NBA also shows that his ability itself is not weak. If he can correct his attitude again, he will be a strong player.
Moreover, when a person has just been elected as the best defensive player, it is the time when his value is the highest.
"Yes, I don't know the details."
In the previous phone call, he also contacted Anthony.
The news he got was that this matter had nothing to do with Anthony.
But as he said, the Nuggets are willing to trade Camby for draft picks and select Lin Ying, which shows that they attach great importance to Lin Ying.
Nuggets.
A lot of information related to the current Nuggets team began to appear in Lin Ying's mind.
Because of the double guns of Iverson and Anthony, this Nuggets team is very popular.
Including domestically, it can be regarded as one of the teams most familiar to fans.
As for the inside, Camby was traded away, and there is still a "number one pick" Kenyon Martin, who can defend the gate and attack bombs.
By the way, there is also a Nene.
Nene is also a strong player. In history, due to testicular cancer, he had an egg cut out and continued to play in the NBA, and he is still extremely vigorous.
Last season, while Martin was out for the season, Nene seized the opportunity and averaged 12.2 points and 7 rebounds per game, shooting 57% from the field.
The Nuggets are a team that wants to win the championship. As a rookie, it is unlikely that Lin Ying will start in the starting lineup.
Therefore, the existence of Nene should also be an important reason for daring to trade Camby away.
And if you look at it from Lin Ying's perspective, the Nuggets have historically had three top insiders: Camby, Nene and Martin.
This in itself was a bit deformed, and in the end they had to send Camby away.
Now that Lin Ying has appeared earlier, it is a good thing.
Then there are two ruthless men on the vanguard.
One is "Jordan Highlights" and "Guards with knives sometimes don't have knives in their hands" Jr. Smith.
Smith fans should be very familiar with him. He was once the biggest foreign player in the CBA and his physical fitness was extremely explosive.
The other one is Lithuania’s scoring champion Kleiza.
In history, Kreza was the Lithuanian team's scoring leader in the 2008 Olympics, and he also had a big heart that beat Argentina.
In addition, Najera, Anthony Carter, Bobby Jones...
These are also some relatively familiar names.
Overall, the Nuggets' lineup is not bad.
And the head coach George Karl is also a famous coach.
The reason why they didn't succeed is well known: defense.
Last season they averaged 105 points per game and conceded 103 points per game.
How sharp their offense is, how eye-catching their defense is.
Camby had to be pulled out at this point.
For a team that averages 103 points per game and is last in the league defensively, its starting center is actually the best defensive player in the league!
Sometimes you can't blame Camby for brushing up on data, because the media makes awards based on data.
When he was playing dedicated defense in the Knicks, the media didn't even mention him.
As a result, the Nuggets' data brushing skyrocketed, and finally a dpoy was successfully brushed.
His career is simply the biggest irony of this selection system.
Talking back to the Nuggets, in history, Camby was sent away in exchange for the elderly Billups. This Nuggets team directly entered the Western Conference Finals.
The scene of Anthony Kobe's physical fight in the playoffs was also about that Western Conference Finals.
So the Nuggets just lack some opportunities to take off.
Plus what Duffy said about him.
Also, I have interacted with Anthony before and overall I think he is a nice person.
Also, the Nuggets' competitive pressure is much less than that of the Bulls.
Going to the Nuggets is definitely better than going to the Bulls!
Maybe he will have the opportunity to experience the Western Conference Finals that many people have only experienced for most of their lives!
that is……
Lin Ying turned his attention to Durant, who looked excited.
Durant said before that he wanted to beat his teammate Anthony?
…
Lin Ying is also very busy in the media room.
Unexpected pick, was traded, and went to a team that attracted a lot of attention...
These are the questions reporters are concerned about.
After finally dealing with the reporters from the United States, I had to go to Yang Yi to be interviewed by CCTV.
Oh, by the way, Zhang Weiping is also here this time.
Director Zhang's tone of voice made him extremely friendly.
Many of the questions they asked were related to Yi Jianlian, such as what he was looking forward to in the derby, and whether he had ever talked to Yi Jianlian before. He was a little speechless.
He hasn't contacted the Nuggets yet, so it's too early to say anything.
When he finally finished the interview and came out, he took out his cell phone and saw several calls from unknown numbers.
He guessed that it was probably someone from the Nuggets and called back immediately.
The phone rang for a while before it was picked up.
After a brief exchange, he learned the other party's identity.
What he didn't expect was that the person contacting him turned out to be George Karl, the head coach of the Nuggets.
What Karl talked to him was also very interesting:
Chapter completed!
