Chapter 83 You have to add money(1/3)
After saying this, Lin Ying... felt a little panicked!
As a time traveler, he had heard some news that Karl said he wanted to abolish Curry.
Although the truth of that matter has not been determined in the end.
But after chatting for a while, he knew that Karl was joking.
Karl admires his passion for playing, and that quality fits the Nuggets very well.
And he also hopes that Lin Ying's passing can help the team in the new season.
While talking about this, Lin Ying suddenly recalled the Nuggets team, or Karl's style of play.
Nuggets track and field team.
Yes, that's what the fans called the Nuggets team.
The Nuggets' style of play is relatively advanced, frantically attacking the ball holder to force turnovers, and then playing defensive counterattack.
So if you look at the highlights of this Nuggets team, they are basically fast break performances.
But this Nuggets team lacks a good passer.
Iverson and Anthony are both scoring types, and they still had Steve Blake last season.
But if he remembered correctly, Blake couldn't be retained this summer because of salary space issues.
Historically, the starting point guard in the 2007-08 season was Anthony Carter...
The old Carter has played in the NBA for 11 years, starting more than 30 games with the Nuggets this year.
And at this time, he is no longer at his peak, and he is not necessarily better than Smush Parker of the Lakers next door.
It shows how stretched the Nuggets' back line is.
So what Karl said was really not a compliment.
The most outstanding ability that Lin Ying has shown in the NCAA is passing, especially the first pass ability in fast break!
No one stipulates that the pass must be from a defender, and the speed of the pass after grabbing the board inside is definitely faster.
So looking at it this way, it is completely reasonable for the Nuggets to choose him, and it is also quite suitable!
He is the last east wind that Karl is waiting for!
After finishing the phone call with Karl, Lin Ying suddenly felt that his future with the Nuggets would be bright.
After drifting for a while, he calmed down.
Old Carl's ability to deceive people is even more terrifying than that of Barnes.
It is more practical for him to work steadily and hard to become the main force.
The Nuggets' frontcourt starts with Anthony, Nene and Martin.
Forget it about Anthony, if he wants to start, he has to squeeze out one of Martin and Nene.
If you think about it, it's not an easy thing to do.
After the phone call with Karl, Lin Ying and Durant returned to the draft meeting.
They found Abrams and sat with him.
Randy Williams is already there.
Although after beating the crazy three, it means that the group of them will go their separate ways.
But just as Lin Ying said with emotion before: the experience of Mad San will be a very wonderful memory in their lives.
That will always be there.
At this time, the first round of the draft has ended, and we took a short break to go to the second round.
Abrams was previously predicted to be selected with the 51st pick in the second round.
The person calling the second round is no longer Stern, but league vice president Matt Tatum.
Lin Ying was impressed by Tatum.
Speaking of which, like many fans, he also complained about Stern's successor Xiao Hua.
And because he does data analysis, he understands it more deeply than others.
Among them is Tatum.
Because Tatum not only plays basketball and loves basketball, but the key is that he is of Chinese descent.
His mother is from Shantou, Guangdong, where she grew up in Vietnam!
"When my mother educated me from an early age, she would instill Asian and Chinese values, awe, humility, and God rewards hard work. These characters and virtues have been influencing me to this day."
Lin Ying saw a report at that time, and this sentence impressed him deeply.
In fact, Tatum was with Stern earlier than Silver, and theoretically should be the one to take over.
But here in the United States, unless there is force majeure, it is impossible to let a person with a wrong bloodline become the president.
Think about what happened to Vasani and Kobe in history. The biggest reason why Kobe’s parents didn’t like Vasani was that she was of Mexican descent.
Watching Tatum's broadcast now, it really gives people a very humble feeling.
The second-round draft only has 3 minutes of preparation time, so it goes faster.
In the blink of an eye, he has reached the 40th pick.
"With the 40th overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2007, the Los Angeles Lakers selected... Sun Yue, a 2.02 meter point guard from China."
It was at this moment that Lin Ying remembered what Su Feng had said before.
It seems that the Lakers didn't work hard enough in the end.
Otherwise, if he is drafted by the Lakers, he can still be teammates with Sun Yue.
"With the 42nd overall pick in the second round of the NBA in 2007, the Portland Trail Blazers selected AJ Abrams, a 1.80 meter point guard from the University of Texas."
Abrams has been selected!
Moreover, it is still the 42nd pick.
That's nine picks higher than the draft projection.
It seems that the key 2+1 in overtime gave him a lot of points!
Abrams jumped up when he heard the news.
Before he had time to hug Lin Ying and the others, he had already trotted towards the stage.
Although it is very difficult for the 42nd pick to stay in the NBA, there is at least a chance.
and……
"AJ is going to be teammates with Oden?"
Lin Ying said.
Durant also just reacted.
His "battle" with Oden did not end with the end of the draft.
On the contrary, in their rookie season, they are still the strongest contenders for "Rookie of the Year".
Speaking of this, Lin Ying was also curious to what extent the old Chinese medicine doctor could help Oden.
If the effect was really amazing, he would really like to get to know it.
…
After the draft, the three of them temporarily separated.
Each of them has their own things to do.
For example, Duffy is taking Durant to discuss a sneaker contract with Nike.
The sneaker contract for a super rookie is definitely not something that can be settled in a day or two.
Unless a phenomenal rookie like Iverson or James can get a super contract before the draft, this kind of thing will take half a month to negotiate.
The first negotiation meeting requires Durant's participation.
Abrams and the former cheerleading "queen" prepared to open a room to celebrate alone.
Lin Ying's uncle held a small party for him.
Although he didn't really like such an occasion, he still went to participate.
After all, this uncle is his only relative in this world.
And party celebrations are also routine. Durant will also hold his private party when he returns to Washington tomorrow.
His scale will be much larger than Lin Ying's.
When Lin Ying followed his uncle to the room, as soon as he entered, the sky was filled with colorful ribbons and cheers.
Being drafted by the NBA, even in the second round, is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes for the entire family.
