Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 175: After the Championship, And… They’re coming!

After the press conference, Otiste signaled Li Wan to go slowly, seemingly having something to say.

Li Wan initially thought that it was related to the renewal of the contract of Turkoglu, but he did not expect that it was indeed a matter of renewal, but it was not the renewal of the contract of Tekoglu.

It is Li Wan’s own renewal of the contract. ——Also, with the self-esteem of the Magic management, how can it be possible to discuss with the players how to trade?

Even if this person is Li Wan, it can’t be!

I’d rather see if I can stand and get the deal done!

No way, it’s just so backboned…

Li Wan originally signed a 3-plus-1 contract with the Lakers that rookies commonly use. The first three years are fully guaranteed, and the last year is a team option. The 2 plus 2 contract in another situation also means similarly, the first two years are fully guaranteed, and the last two years are team options.

Well……

During the “child labor contract”, players are so human rightsless.

Li Wan is now in the state where the second year of his rookie contract has just been completed, and there are two years before this contract ends.

But……

Who made him look up more!

08 “Best Rookie”, 08 All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, 07~08 Best Team Third Team, 07~08 Rookie All-Rookie First Team, 08 All-Star Western Starter, 09 All-Star MVP, 09 All-Star Eastern Starter, 09 All-Star Second Team, 08~09 Championship and Final MVP…

In just two years, there are already so many titles, although this is not yet great, but obviously on the road to greatness!

Otis, as the “best general manager in the history of the Magic”, must have the middle number of AC in his heart.

When Li Wan heard that it was an early contract renewal, he shook his head and said with a smile: “Dude, I still have two years left before my rookie contract ends!” He doesn’t feel like Otis would let him jump out of the final year of his rookie contract early. Even if he wanted to, the Magic team owner wouldn’t.

Of course, what really has to be said…

Not jumping just right!

In the summer of ’11, that is, in July, when Li Wan’s rookie contract officially ended, the league will have a long period of squabbling because of the expiration of the “collective agreement” and uneven distribution of the spoils.

It wasn’t until the end of November that the shutdown ended.

After this shutdown, the biggest change, for Li Wan, must be the birth of the “Ross clause”.

His current situation already meets the conditions of the Ross clause.

That is, when the time comes, he can sign a big contract with a starting salary of $17.4 million…

Probably the starting salary of the third contract of Chris Paul’s supergiant career!

Isn’t this better than renewing the contract early?

But……

When Li Wan thought of this, a question suddenly appeared in his mind…

If he fits the situation…

Then the “Ross clause” is only afraid to change the name, right?

Otis was also not surprised by Li Wan’s reaction. He didn’t have any ability to predict the prophet, but he knew in his heart that it was too early to say this.

Can……

Otis, as the “league’s best general manager”, has always reminded himself:

Be sure to be careful not to follow the old path of the general manager of the Magic team…

The time to renew the contract is early, whether to say or not, it is a matter of attitude!

There are two words involved:

Respect!

The two didn’t say anything more, and Otis patted Li Wan’s shoulder to thank him for his support and encouragement in his work.

When the Magic returned to Orlando that night, Li Wan did not accompany the team, one was too tired to fly anymore, and the other he happened to have a house in Los Angeles.

By no means is it because Taylor is also in Los Angeles…

It’s just that in this way, the Magic fans who are still waiting at the Orlando airport in the middle of the night are a little disappointed.

The rest of the Magic team is also a hero, but the person they want to see the most at the moment…

Undoubtedly the “youngest FMVP ever” that brought the world to attention to Orlando!

This point, Howard also noticed, not how keen he is, but he looked around, in the crowd, about 70% of the fans, the posters in their hands are almost all Li Wan alone, or Li Wan and his photo poster, holding up his personal poster, only about 20%.

If this continues, this place will really become Li Wan’s city!

Can……

It’s obviously me first!

Overnight fermentation.

Early the next morning, the game was covered across the United States.

ESPN released data to let everyone know that the real-time viewing data of this game in the United States, after the last game of the “God of Basketball” in 98, ranked second in NBA history.

This caused quite a stir.

It was also at this time that other sports industry media discovered …

After Michael Jordan retired, David Stern regained the NBA’s basic market in the United States through unwavering “export to domestic sales”.

In overseas markets, the influence of the NBA has surpassed the traditional giants of the American sports industry, such as football and baseball…

David Stern: No one knows international markets better than I do!

Major media led by Orlando have ridiculed the Los Angeles Lakers with the headline of Li Wan’s phrase “LA, this is for you”.

The whole thing is one sentence:

Los Angeles, you also have times when you are crazy in the face!

Oh yes!

It’s so painful!

Los Angeles media openly accused the league of partiality, “illegal cover” of the Magic and Li Wan’s final “suspected walking” inaction.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

The famous “Jenhei” Skipper Belles said: “In fact, Li Wan should be most thankful for LeBron, without him, “Li Wanbu” would not have appeared, and he would not have been able to complete the removal of Kobe Bryant with a similar novel step at the last moment! ”

At his reminder, LeBron James was thrust to the forefront.

Some media bluntly said that LeBron is “mud can’t hold up the wall!” ”

The alliance took great pains to help him solve the problem of walking, but the result?

Fell in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

There are also some media outlets that mock the alliance.

In order to hold LeBron, the face is not wanted…

But in the end, people are not as good as heavenly calculations, and the demon Li Wan actually studied the “devil’s steps” in just over two months because of the change in the rules of walking.

And even LeBron James was eliminated by him …

It can only be said that there is a fixed number in the underworld!

It is worth mentioning that the famous American cartoon saturist also specially drew a cartoon: the Bulls No. 23 jersey hanging high, the Q version of Li Wan holding the No. 23 jersey in his hand, ready to pullover, at his feet, stepping on the Cavaliers’ No. 23 jersey.

Next to it is written the line that Li Wan said when dressing: This number 23, Michael Jordan wears, LeBron wears, I Li Wan can’t wear?

This passage quickly spread and was spread as a Bible by many media.

There is a great way to make the classics live on forever.

Of course, there have also been some criticisms of “Li Wanbu”, who believe that the league should adjust the walking rules back, because “Li Wanbu” proves that this is the basic game of challenging basketball.

He is even willing to give it a ride while walking with the ball!

Completely rugby-style dribbling, rationalized by the league’s changes to the walking rules, is really too much of a joke.

Those old basketball people who have lived in this industry for more than ten years or even decades say they can’t accept it.

Don’t really say it…

The criticism rang out and there was a response that afternoon, with suspected officials privately revealing that they were considering reverting to the original definition of walking.

However, these rumors have not received an official response and have been temporarily dismissed.

The outside world is buzzing.

At this time, Kevin Durant, a handsome man in Oklahoma, also woke up from a drunken dream of marijuana.

He glanced towards the window, the curtains were tightly covered, recently someone was looking at him with a telescope on the opposite side, what a pervert, fortunately he found it with a telescope …

After that, he never opened the curtain again.

Lifting the covers, revealing big red pants, and stepping on Nike shoes, “tatatata” walked to the TV, ready to watch tonight’s Lakers and Magic Finals Game 6.

The time should be almost up.

“MD, he actually won the fifth game! ”

In his opinion, Li Wan really has a bit of dog luck.

Seeing that he was already 1-2 behind, the result was a sudden change, and he was banned for two consecutive games, but he got the match point first.

This is special…

But, the Lakers have Kobe after all!

This is one of his four idols!

Overtaking is like cheating, there is a first time, there is definitely a second time.

Kobe is the sky, Kobe is the earth, he is my superstar!

“…… Li Wan became the final Finals MVP, and he is also the youngest Finals MVP in NBA history, only 2…”

Only, when he turned on the TV, he was dumbfounded.

ESPN is reporting on the Magic winning a championship.

In the picture, Li Wan, holding the championship trophy in his left hand and the Most Valuable Player Trophy in the Finals in his right hand, is smiling brightly, like the fiercest sun!

Stung so much that Xiao Kai couldn’t open his eyes!

I must have smoked too much marijuana or haven’t woken up yet!

Yes, it must be!

How did Li Wan and the Magic win the championship?

No way!

It must not be!

“Tata…”

Kevin Durant turned off the TV, dragged Nike shoes, and walked back to his bedside as if it were a nightmare…

Xiaoshuai refused to accept this fact, and the impact of championship night continued.

The suit that Stan Van Gundy was poured through sold for 20,000 knives.

With the ball that night, the official specially let all the members of the Magic team sign their names, and finally sold a price of 50,000 knives.

There were other scattered items related to last night’s Magic game, all of which were sold for a price that was far more than ten or twenty times the usual price.

In particular, the “Let the World Focus Orlando” worn on Li Wan’s head sold for a sky-high price of 100,000 knives!

But this is not the thing that makes Li Wan most happy.

What really makes him happy is that the remaining 20,000 or so sold “Let the World Focus Orlando” also have collectible value, and in the small circle, now one “Let the World Focus Orlando” has been sold for 1,000 knives, 10 times more than the original.

Under Li Wan’s instruction, PG1 also immediately launched championship-related series, such as “First Crown in Magic History”, “Night of Championships”, and the “Last Shot” of the finals version…

There are about seven or eight pieces large and small, from clothes to headbands to hats.

Under Taryn’s constant urging, in just three or four days, PG1 online store launched new products one after another.

Li Wanyou expected that these new products would definitely sell out.

But he really didn’t expect that in just two days of launching, the worst sales of each item were above 20,000 orders, and the best, such as the “last shot”, broke 50,000 orders in 2 days.

In the past two days alone, Li Wan probably calculated that he had already earned about 10 million.

This just made up for the more than 8 million taxes paid around January, and Li Wan’s account amount was almost 60 million before he knew it. In addition, he circled about 3,000 bits without a trace, which cannot be said.

Since this thing was launched in January 09, it was sent as garbage, and it hardly cost anything, and Li Wan used seven or eight accounts to circle about 3,000 bitcoins.

Of course, this is not the ultimate goal, Li Wan’s goal is about 20,000, and then wait for the capital bosses to enter this circle and take advantage of the bull market to wave the “empty gloves white wolf”.

Even if his intervention caused this thing to fail to get up, Li Wan was not afraid, anyway, it was all a white.

Don’t be distressed!

After a few days of living without shame and with Taylor in Los Angeles, Li Wan went back to Orlando.

I actually bumped into a dozen Orlando fans who picked up the plane there.

No……

Even Taylor doesn’t know when he got the plane, how did the gang know?

After asking two words, Li Wan also understood, good guy, this gang of people guarded at the airport in shifts, and they kept it for almost a week.

I’m fucking popular!

Li Wan couldn’t help shaking his head, what to do if the popularity is too high, online and so on, it’s quite urgent.

However, it is normal to think about it, after all, this is the first championship in the history of the Magic, and Orlando has waited for 20 years for this historic moment.

Can they not have a little more fanatical love for those who break history?

How frenzy has it been…

Let’s put it this way, in this group of fans, there is a female fan with a large cup of milk tea, she tattooed Li Wan’s avatar on the milk tea cup, and also opened the milk tea lid so that Li Wan could see if it looked like it.

This, this, this…

Can’t make it, can’t make it!

Li Wan covered his eyes with his hand, and looked at it twice from between his fingers, and there was one thing to say, and it was quite like that.

This kind of fanatical love gave Li Wan’s mind a bold idea: many teams in the league are like the Magic, and they haven’t won the first championship in team history, if I break them all for the first time…

I don’t know who is a little greater than LeBron’s three teams with 4 championships!

Since he is the second in history in the mouths of many media, then am I not recognized as the first in history…

Ahem!

Can’t think about it anymore, think about it again, Ma Jian has something to say.

“Lee! Can you sign me? ”

A little boy jumped in front of Li Wan, his voice was very loud, and he looked very confident pulling the clothes on his body to show Li Wan.

On the clothes, a handsome back jumping high and shooting came into view.

It is that PG1 has just launched the championship version “The Last Shot”!

Those who support the business are the bosses!

Li Wan immediately became more enthusiastic, and specially asked the name of the little boy.

“My name is Julian Newman! ”

Julian……

Newman!

Ha?

As soon as Li Wan heard this name, he thought it was a celebrity name, and then he remembered who this boy was. – The black kid who was once called a “basketball prodigy” who was raised by his father and arranged “devil training” since he was a child. As a result, because he practiced too hard, his height did not develop, and he was reduced to “hurting Zhongyong”.

However, he remembered that child, and his temper was very crazy…

Now this…

A child with a bright smile and a longing face on his face, no matter how he looks, Li Wan can’t connect the two together.

Sure enough, personality does change a person’s appearance and temperament.

“Lee, I wish I could be a player like you, do you think I can do it? Newman asked timidly.

I have to say that the young man is only 8 years old, but he is very bold!

Li Wan showed a gentle smile and patted him on the shoulder: “You don’t have to be the next me, you should be the first yourself…”

Heartwarming words made Newman’s face melt like chocolate.

But Li Wan’s words continued:

“Because it’s hard to be me! You certainly can’t do it…”

Belch……

Newman’s smile stopped abruptly, and gradually became a little more “see the ghost” expression.

I’m still a kid!

Li Wan was satisfied with his reaction, patted him on the shoulder again, straightened up, and walked away.

Go to a special basketball dream mission…

get！

Back home, Li Wan called Greg and the three of them one by one again.

Hi Yikes!

Buddy won the championship and FMVP, these brothers just sent congratulatory text messages, why don’t you answer the phone!

Li Wan could only send them a photo of himself with the two trophies again.

That’s almost ten times, right?

This is not to show off, this is to find some life goal for the brothers.

If he knew that Mike Conley, who had just rested for two or three minutes, saw his message and immediately held the ball and began to hold the ball tightly, he would have said:

“Look, it works! ”

On June 20, Orlando is looking forward to the Magic Championship Parade Day.

It was the first title in Magic history.

Magic fans have been looking forward to 20 years.

Magic team owner Rich DeVos was also not stingy at all, throwing out 1 million knives for this cruise…

This day is undoubtedly a big day for many Orlancians!

Li Wan woke up in the morning, but unexpectedly received a call from Dayao.

Yao hopes he can compete in the Asian Championships on his doorstep this year.

Li Wan didn’t think about it, and directly refused: “Leave this opportunity to other young people, the Huaxia men’s basketball team needs more fresh blood…”

Yao Ming wanted to say something, but Li Wan still didn’t agree in the end.

In fact, Li Wan hoped that Yao Ming would not participate either.

Let the true strength of the Huaxia men’s basketball team be exposed, and at the same time, let the outside world see how uncompetitive the Huaxia men’s basketball team is.

At his door, he didn’t win the Asian Championships, and on such a serious occasion as the podium, there was a “snickering door” incident…

Really, don’t even want a face!

Participating in the 08 Olympics is Li Wan’s heart.

Not participating in the 09 Asian Championships, or even the 10 World Championships, is Li Wan’s disdain for Lan Xie and Lan Guan, top-down.

Anyway, these two events have little impact on the 2012 Olympic Games, even if they fail miserably, when the 2011 Asian Championships come, the Chinese men’s basketball team still has a chance to compete for a ticket to the 2012 London Olympics.

Li Wan regards himself as the insurance of the Huaxia men’s basketball team, and he feels that after waiting two more years, he does have the qualifications and strength to position himself like this.

One more one…

In the 08~09 season, Li Wan played almost 100 games, and this summer, he didn’t want to be so tired.

Anyway, in the case that Yao Ming will definitely participate, the Huaxia men’s basketball team should not encounter the original embarrassment.

Before the tour began, Li Wan saw a sample photo of Li Wan’s second-generation signature shoes from Taryon: the Laker color scheme and the magic color scheme formed a shape similar to the Taijitu, covering the entire upper.

After line treatment, the color of the upper looks messy and not messy, and the water and milk are blended.

From the lines, you can also vaguely see the appearance of the O’Brien Cup.

The design inspiration naturally came from Li Wan’s FMVP speech: “Thank you to the Magic, and thank you to the Lakers, you put together this trophy”…

It can be seen that this designer is also a trick!

However, in terms of creativity, it does perfectly summarize the first two seasons of Li Wan’s career.

Signature shoes!

It is to reflect the character of the players!

I don’t know how bad Lakers fans will be when they see the color scheme of these shoes.

Li Wan…

I’m quite satisfied!

He wants each of his shoes to look different.

The last pair, did it, this pair he felt that he also did it!

The cruise starts after 9 o’clock.

Tens of thousands of Orlantons followed the sightseeing bus all the way, and Li Wan and Howard sprayed bottle after bottle of champagne on both sides of the car on the first sightseeing bus.

Under the sunlight, the translucent champagne spreads out, and every drop seems to glow.

Magic fans rushed to bathe in the “holy water,” as devout as if praying in the direction of Jerusalem.

The scene is not lively.

Most Orlando wore a custom version of the Champion T-shirt, and some wore the latest PG1 model.

Of course, the most popular PG1 peripheral has to be the hat that “puts the world in focus on Orlando”.

A total of 20,000 were sold, and Li Wan felt that there were at least 6,000 on the scene.

It’s all customers…

The corners of Li Wan’s mouth couldn’t help but curve, revealing a sweet smile that Taylor Swift saw when he saw it.

At the end of the parade is the champion speech.

Howard, who had been having a lot of fun, was not happy again at this time.

Because Magic fans obviously want Li Wandao to say two words.

Can……

It’s obviously me first!

He has the “last shot”, and I also have the “return of the king”!

Magic fans have different levels of enthusiasm for the two of them, leaving Howard worried again.

No way!

It can’t go on like this!

And so on…

I’ll be Paulo Gasol!

I’m the “league’s No. 1 center” now!

Howard knows very well that he must make more progress this summer, especially on the offensive end…

I must learn to hold the ball and play singles!

Li Wan has more balls, and his statistics are good, so he won the “Finals MVP Award”!

If next season, I have the ability to play singles under the basket, won’t I be able to hold the ball more?

Yes!

That’s it!

That’s it!

Howard felt like he had found Hua Point…

This is the key to his return to the Magic boss position…

He can’t just be on the defensive end, he has to have a stronger presence on the offensive end!

His gaze gradually became hot, and a smile appeared on Howard’s face again!

After the champion speech, it is a thrilling part that only VIPs can enter…

Beer drinking, unlimited Coke refills!

There are also wonderful performances by the Magic Team mascot Magic Dragon and cheerleaders, waiting for you to watch!

It’s fun, it’s fun, it’s all at the Amway Arena Party!

Li Wan finally had time to clink glasses with his teammates, and then he realized that Tekoglu was not in state all night.

More than ten days after the finals, from what Li Wan knew, Otis and Tekoglu had not yet negotiated a contract extension for the summer.

As before, Otis still does not plan to offer a contract with an annual salary of more than 6 million.

His reason is simple, in the last 3 games of the finals, you Turkoglu is a soy sauce player in the starting lineup, and it is not as good as Raga Bell to have a presence!

6 million still depends on how well you played in the regular season, plus the rise of the Magic team in the past two years, you have a share of credit.

Otherwise……

In terms of your performance in the finals, it is good to give 4 million.

It was also at this moment that Li Wan reacted consciously, it seems that because of his existence, Turkoglu is even more embarrassed!

Originally, Otis felt that the upper limit of the Magic team was like this, so even if he thought that Tekoglu was not bad, he finally let it go.

But now, he just doesn’t look at Tekcoglu.

Against the Lakers, the Magic relied on the core lineup of Li Wan, Howard and Lewis to complete the turnaround.

In that case, why not continue to strengthen according to this core lineup?

For example, add a three-point shooter with defensive movement and faster movement, improve the Magic’s flank defense, and ensure that the No. 3 position has firepower.

What’s more…

Cheap!

He also had to save money to sign Li Wan!

Such an attitude is naturally difficult for Tekcoglu to accept. In this case, he naturally couldn’t laugh.

However, Li Wan is clear that as before, the Blazers and Raptors are willing to pay a lot of money to sign him, and they value Turkoglu’s breakthrough ability and organizational ability on the flank.

To say that the Blazers owner is really willing to throw money, any free agent, but if there is a little fame, the team can use it, they can’t wait to throw a lot of money and bring people back to Portland.

The only person in that place that has been criticized may be the group of “veterinarians” who serve the Trail Blazers!

No one knows injuries better than they do!

Tekcoglu had a big contract signed, and Li Wan didn’t say anything, just briefly clinked glasses with him.

The carnival is over, some regulations that belong to Orlando’s all-time championship, and now only a championship ring remains.

Magic team owner Rich DeVos very much wants to make the ring of the first crown in team history more commemorative, helpless pocket shy, direct sales stores a year to work to the end of tens of millions of profits, good times up to 100 million, not as good as Blazers owner Paul Allen blinked a few times.

There is also a gap between NBA owners and NBA owners.

It’s really no money!

Therefore, Li Wan did not think much about this matter.

To say that you want to fund the championship ring, you have to be the new owner of the Warriors later.

Directly the sapphire facets worth millions.

That’s so atmospheric!

On June 25, the fifth day of the Magic’s championship tour, the ’09 Draft was held as scheduled in Madison Square.

In the past few days, the news of Li Wan’s refusal to participate in the 09 Asian Championships spread back to China, causing a lot of controversy, and a reporter directly asked Li Wan: “If we fail to win the Asian Championships this time, will you regret refusing to participate?” ”

Faced with this kind of unwarranted questioning, Li Wan responded unceremoniously: “If you can’t become the number one in Asia without me, then what you should worry more about is the overall strength of the men’s basketball team…”

“I am happy to be the hole card of the Huaxia men’s basketball team, but I don’t think I alone can carry the revival of the Huaxia men’s basketball team, support the Huaxia men’s basketball team has been brilliant, the national team needs more fresh blood, instead of going back and forth so a dozen people have been occupying the place, in the case that I still have at least ten years of career, I hope that the national team events that are not related to the Olympic quota can give more young people a chance, even if it is just me such a place!” ”

This remark calmed the voices of many people’s doubts, and as for the rest of the people who were biting hard, thinking that “since you have the ability, you have to work hard for every national event”, Li Wan was too lazy to deal with it.

From the day after the “Champion Parade”, Li Wan devoted himself to the special training program.

His numbers in the Finals are very good, but the gap with Kobe Bryant is visible to the naked eye.

Throughout the series, except for the first game and the sixth, the other games against Kobe, he was basically at a disadvantage.

This means that he is still a long way from some of the top players in the league!

Train during the day and rest at home at night.

His routine gradually became regular.

There is also time to watch the ’09 draft…

Sit in front of the TV and wait for it to start.

Li Wan took his phone and glanced at Twitter, and Howard uploaded several photos of him training. He also started his training program the day after the “Champions Parade”.

Such an attitude is undoubtedly good news for the Magic.

It’s just that……

Li Wan remembers that it seems that since the 09~10 season, Howard is particularly concerned about his proportion of the ball, and his conflict with Stan Van Gundy also began this season.

Now, Li Wan has won the championship FMVP…

Howard, who is gradually concerned about the position of the boss, was stimulated by such a stimulus, even Li Wan was not sure what kind of direction the Magic team would be in the new season.

Boos came from the TV, interrupting Li Wan’s thinking, looking at the TV screen, and sure enough, it was David Stern who played.

’09 “Draft Little Year” …

That’s what the experts say anyway!

But Li Wan is very clear that the overall quality of this year is not far behind that of 07 and 08.

These three years are a bit like the pan-96 generation…

The three years from ’96 to ’98 produced superstars who dominated the NBA for the next 10 years.

07~09 also gave birth to a group of Superman balloon stars who will affect the next NBA decade!

After a simple opening remarks, David Stern read out the selection of the Clippers, the owner of the first pick in the first round of ’09…

In the case of clear cards, “Baylor” finally chose the right one, and Blake Griffin, even if he rescheduled the rookies in the ’09 draft ten years later, can still be in the top five or even top three.

Even with his explosive dunk style, he became an Superman balloon star as soon as he entered the league, and for four years as a rookie, he has steadily suppressed other newcomers in the class of ’09.

The Grizzlies second-pick pick was Tabbit.

This is a parallel trader, and another classic example of a bad choice that has ruined his NBA prospects.

In the ’08 draft, Tabit was also a top five favorite in the first round, but because of the college coach’s words “stay, play another year, the team needs you”, Tabit played his third season in college.

So that the potential is exhausted, the technology is set, and the early stage of the “small-ball era” is caught up, and it does not know how to adapt to the trend, and in two or three seasons, it leaves the league in a bleak way.

The third pick belonged to the Thunder, and their choice did not change, and James Harden walked onto the stage with a confused look to shake hands with David Stern for a photo.

The future “Thunder Four Few” is officially assembled!

the selection of the Kings with the fourth pick in the first round, Tyrek Evans;

The fifth and sixth picks in the first round both belonged to the Timberwolves.

They chose Rubio the “Golden Boy” with the fifth pick and Jonny Flynn with the sixth pick.

Two close signings, both chose to take the guard, the Timberwolves this time is not “more signings burned”, but the “golden boy” Rubio has said that he will stay in Europe for two more years.

For two years, idle is idle, the Timberwolves choose to try to develop another guard, in case of success, then even if Rubio does not come, it will be fine!

In case it fails…

They also wait patiently for the arrival of the “golden boy”!

Look, what a wise management thinking, this has not made the playoffs in ten years since Kevin Garnett left, it’s no wonder to others!

Seventh pick…

Here it comes!

Li Wan looked at the lotto area, a thin young man who looked underage and even made people suspect that he was still a primary school student stood up in the midst of cheers.

He looked a little reluctant, but he quickly adjusted his mood and walked towards the center of the stage.

He originally wanted to choose the Knicks, and the only ones he wanted to go to were the Knicks…

But as a result, no matter how their team made repeated orders and was unwilling to go to other teams, the “logo man” still felt that the twisted melon would be very sweet, and chose to cut off the beard in advance!

The New York media cursed angrily: “You deserve to have been in the finals so many times, and finally won a championship, you really have a little color and want to open a dyeing shop!” ”

Jerry West smiled slightly: I don’t care, I just need to be cool!

Right now……

Sitting in the backstage Warriors lounge, Jerry West felt like cutting off his beard, awesome!

Lee Wan knew that Jerry West was bullish on Stephen Curry.

But he definitely didn’t expect that this little guy he was very optimistic about would promote the process of the “small-ball era” in the future, truly change the tactical position of the three-pointer, and become the number one in the league after becoming “Magic” Johnson!

The legend begins at this moment!

Li Wan’s mind didn’t know how, and such a sentence suddenly appeared.

At the same time, he felt a fighting spirit and a desire for the new season to come soon!

LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Westbrook…

The future alliance “Five Exceptions” officially sounded the assembly number!

Li Wan is looking forward to killing them one by one and becoming “above the five absolutes”!

The draft continues, and there are many very high-quality rookies, such as DeRozan, Li Wan’s current template, and Jennings, the youngest “Mr. 50” in history, Joe Holloday, Jeff Teague, Darren Collison, Wayne…

Huh?

Oh, not Wayne, it’s Wayne Ellington…

That, this one is not!

In the second round, there are also Beverley, Danny Green, Zeiss Bardinger and other good second-round beads…

From the perspective of latecomers, it’s really hard to believe that this would actually be called the “draft year”!

This gang of experts is true…

Outrageous!

It also shows that sometimes scouting reports can really deceive people!

The 09 draft is a draft conference in which scouting reports collectively “failed”!

The more Li Wan looked at it, the more hungry his eyes became.

But the Magic still don’t have any draft picks this year, and even the second-round pick was sent by Otis.

Obviously there is a chance to prostitute in vain, but you can only watch dryly, this is really unpleasant…

Gan!

Don’t look at it!

Li Wanxuan turned off the TV.

In the following days, he continued his special training, and with the end of the draft and July 1st, the free market in the summer of ’09 opened again.

This means that the 08~09 season is officially over, and next, it will be the beginning of the championship grab battle in the 09~10 season…

The team that fired the first shot was the Timberwolves, who sent Mike Miller and Randy Foyer to the Wizards in exchange for Itan Thomas, Darius Sangela and Oreksai Pecheroff.

The battle was very large, but in Li Wan’s memory, it didn’t seem to cause any remarkable changes.

It is purely a resource exchange that the general managers of the two teams do not look at.

You look in my “garbage heap”, I look in your “garbage heap”, maybe I can find something useful?

Then there was the Spurs’ trade with the Bucks, who paid three veterans, Bowen, Oberto and Thomas, to get All-Star small forward Jefferson from the Bucks.

This wave of operations is also a typical resource swap.

The Bucks felt that they were helpless, so they asked the Spurs for three due resources, especially Bruce Bowen, who did not even go to Milwaukee, and directly announced his retirement in San Antonio in September, ending his criminal life.

To be honest, this person can leave this alliance with sound hands and feet, and everyone is responsible!

In addition, it can be seen from this that Bruce Bowen’s sincerity for Popovich…

For the sake of the Spurs, the last bit of value was completely squeezed dry!

Later, in order to smoothly renew Leonard, Tony Parker willingly sacrificed himself and chose to be traded to the Hornets…

This old thief!

It’s really a bit of a skill!

However, often walk by the river, where are there no wet shoes!

Popovich does have some skills, but the final result of this deal is difficult to say, Jefferson is completely uncomfortable with the Spurs’ system, and the small forward who averages 22 points per game wasted his last few years in the Spurs.

And on the Spurs side, the trade just ended.

The alliance has officially announced several transactions in a row:

The Cavaliers traded forward Ben Wallace, guard Pavlovic and a future draft pick for Suns center O’Neal.

“Little Emperor” teamed up with “NBA Best Three Team Center ’09”!

Then the Clippers’ big deal with the Grizzlies was officially completed, and the Clippers sent star forward Randolph to the Grizzlies and Quentin Richardson from the Grizzlies.

The wind from the free market in the summer of ’09 was obviously much stronger than last summer…
