A different point guard road

...........

"The Knicks won the championship with 16 consecutive victories, Lin Rui won the FMVP!"

"A Forecasting Player is Born!"

"There is great value, Lin Rui completes self-salvation!"

"The Knicks Win the Championship!!"

"In the next ten years, the alliance will be ruled by Lin Rui!!"

"Lin Rui averaged 60 triple-double in the finals!"

"His era is here!"

"This championship belongs to the league means that the league will officially enter the Lin Rui era."

.........

This season is considered to be a season for Lin Rui to establish his league status, and he went from a superstar to the league's number one star.

Lin Rui played one crazy miracle after another, and he made many records pass by.

Looking at Lin Rui's various data, fans and media seemed to have returned to the ancient times of the NBA, and Chamberlain was just like that at that time.

The brand owners who have been investing in Lin Rui since last season have also made a lot of money this season.

Lin Rui’s value is not something he could compare when he just entered the league.

The value of Lin Rui's investment company is also increasing rapidly. As Lin Rui's popularity increases, his investment actions have attracted more and more attention.

Several financial magazines in New York have rated Lin Rui as the most investment-oriented athlete of the year.

The value added by Lin Rui's company invested is much higher than the salary and endorsement fees he earns when playing basketball.

"Investment genius", "basketball genius"

Lin Rui was gradually given these titles.

Many entrepreneur teams hope to win Lin Rui's favor.

Lin Rui's investment company's workload has skyrocketed, and Lin Rui doesn't pay much attention to those things now.

After returning to New York, we celebrated wildly all night long.

On the fourth day after winning the championship, a grand championship parade party was held in New York.

After the parade and party, the team announced its disbandment and the players entered the holiday.

The coaching team and management are investing in the next important work.

Draft!

The day before the draft, the Knicks announced a deal.

The Knicks packed Jordan Crawford Richardson Jr. and gave it to the Timberwolves, and obtained the No. 5 signing from the Timberwolves Dako Mirisic.

This is a major transaction news.

No one would have thought that the Knicks would send out three rotation players to exchange for a No. 5 pick and the No. 2003 pick.

Mirisic averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game last season, and his value is not as good as any of the three major players in the Knicks' trading.

There is no doubt that the No. 5 sign is the main body of this transaction, and Mirisic is just to balance his salary.

The deal was squirted by the Knicks Media.

"Does Isaiah Thomas think he can still choose a rookie like Lin Rui?"

"If you lose three, you will get a No. 5 sign in place?"

"Isaiah Thomas wants to break up the dynasty lineup?"

"Although Jordan and Richardson are not important in the playoffs, Crawford is also the chief substitute who has reached the Finals for two years, so he was sent out like this?"

"Jordan Jr. averaged 66 per game, Crawford averaged 13 points per game, and Richardson averaged 74 per game. These three are qualified role players. Isaiah Thomas and James Dolan wouldn't think they really won the championship with their draft."

"What the Knicks need to do is to keep changing everything!"

"The Knicks don't need to change, they need to let their opponents change."

"Fake!!!"

Knicks media and fans once again swear by Dolan and Isaiah Thomas on the forum.

Many fans even went to Lin Rui's social platform to call Lin Rui to take care of his boss and general manager.

This guy is so stupid.

Lin Rui smiled at the messages on the social platform.

Naturally, he would not care about the boss and the general manager, because these two people were doing things according to his wishes.

Of course, it was not Lin Rui who said he would trade anyone.

Lin Rui just said that he hoped to get a high pick, and then the executives chose the trading chips based on the players' own intentions.

Crawford himself also wants to get a big contract, and Jordan and Richardson have been complaining about playing time.

Leaving the Knicks will be more beneficial for their future.

Lin Rui has goals for this draft.

There is no doubt that with the huge role provided by Lin Rui last season's signing list, Lin Rui has become indispensable in the Knicks management.

Isaiah Thomas almost obeyed Lin Rui, and Lin Rui had proved his vision.

James Dolan and Lin Rui's relationship is also in a honeymoon period. Dolan even told Lin Rui that as long as he stays in the Knicks, the Knicks will give Lin Rui shares after he retires.

Lin Rui just smiled at Dolan's painting of big cakes.

Lin Rui doesn't like that little share. If he wants to own an NBA team after retirement, he must be the biggest boss, and the small boss will be boring.

......

During her pregnancy, Lin Rui did not plan to leave her except for necessary business activities to return to China.

June 25.

Shortly after the finals ended, the draft kicked off at Madison Garden Plaza.

The finals are just a grand event for the two teams, and the draft is a carnival for the whole league. All teams will participate in choosing a part of the future team.

Teams other than the Knicks and the Lakers have almost been ready.

In the latest draft list forecast, Blake Griffin is predicted to be the No. 1 pick this year.

The Knicks have 2 signing positions this year, one is the No. 5 draw that they just traded, and the other is the 30th pick in the first round.

The NBA draft draw is the order of the 14 teams that have not qualified for the playoffs, which will be ranked in the order of the top 14 first-round draft picks on the lottery day, and the 16 teams entering the playoffs will be ranked in the order of the draft picks of 15-30 according to the record.

The Knicks have the first record in the regular season, and their own first-round pick is the last one.

During the trading operation last season, the Knicks gave almost all draft picks in the next few years, with this first-round pick exception this year.

The NBA draft also needs to collect tickets, and it is filled with fans, media, and family members of draft players.

Each NBA team will have its own small room, and they will hand out small notes in it, giving the rookie selected by their team to the president Stern, and let Stern announce it on stage!

Because there is great uncertainty in the draft, it is very likely that the rookie you choose will be selected by another team, so you must immediately adopt an alternative plan.

This also poses a huge challenge to management's resilience.

When Lin Rui appeared at the Madison Garden Plaza Theater in casual clothes, the fans on the scene gave a huge cheer.

Lin Rui is the owner of this place, and the fans here love him!

Although it is not a rookie to be selected, Lin Rui just attracted the attention of all media.

Lin Rui walked to the small green house specially.

Griffin, Harden, Curry, and DeRozan were waiting for the rookie selection to come and talk with Lin Rui one after another.

Griffin and Curry were both a little nervous. When they saw Lin Rui, they seemed to be a student meeting the teacher, and they were a little speechless.

Harden had a confused look on his face, as if he had been lingering in the New York nightclub last night and didn't come back to his senses.

Lin Rui said to Curry: "Stephen, don't be nervous, your three-pointer is cool."

Lin Rui said to Griffin: "Blake, I like your dunk."

Lin Rui said to Harden: "James, you are very smart in playing basketball..."

Lin Rui was able to read their characteristics and names.

Lin Rui's personality is originally the approachable, with a handsome face and friendly language.

This surprised Curry, Griffin and others.

All of them thought Lin Rui didn't know them.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rui knew them so well.

Lin Rui's enthusiasm and smile are unpleasant.

"Lin, I am your fan. I like your three-pointers. I want to play with you." Curry said excitedly.

Curry told the media on many occasions that he likes New York and wants to play in New York. Lin Rui is his idol.

Originally, the Knicks had no chance to choose him, but yesterday Curry learned that the Knicks had obtained the No. 5 draw in the deal, so he couldn't wait to explain his thoughts to Lin Rui.

"There will be a chance." Lin Rui smiled.

Griffin, Harden and others didn't think there was anything wrong with Curry's words.

Lin Rui is a super star, the first point guard at NBA, who doesn't want to be his teammate? Griffin also wants to be his characteristics, his characteristics are suitable for Lin Rui's cakes, but Griffin knows that he is the most popular in the No. 1 pick, and it is basically impossible for the Knicks to be selected. Then the Clippers also gave him some guarantees. Griffin knows where he will play...

....

....

Lin Rui slapped everyone in high fives, encouraged the exchange and walked into the Knicks' room.

Before entering the Knicks' room, Lin Rui looked at the direction of Curry intentionally or unintentionally.

Just now, Curry was still looking at Lin Rui.

Both of them looked at each other and smiled!

Curry felt in a daze that his destiny would change from tonight.

.............

After entering the Knicks office.

James Dolan, Isaiah Thomas, D'Antoni and a series of executives are all on the list.

These people were all wearing suits and ties, and Lin Rui’s sportswear looked very special.

But no one would say that Lin Rui was not wearing serious enough on such a major occasion.

"Lin, where are you going to go for vacation?" Dolan came over and smiled and put on Lin Rui's shoulder.

"I'm still thinking about going to places like Miami and Los Angeles," Lin Rui said with a smile.

"If necessary, I can give you a luxury yacht." Dolan said proudly.

"Well, I will lend me your private plane at that time." Lin Rui said.

"No problem." Dolan.

Dolan is a generous boss, and Lin Rui has a great relationship with him.

Lin Rui helped Dolan make a lot of money and face, and Dolan also knows how important Lin Rui is to the Knicks!

Soon, Lin Rui started chatting with the executives, coaches, and general managers.

As the championship team, they are the least popular among the 30 teams.

Because the other 29 teams need to imitate through drafts or try to introduce instant combat power to defeat them, they don’t have much pressure on themselves.

soon.

Stern stood on the stage and greeted the booing, and began to say to the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Madison Square Garden Theater, I know you don't want to listen to my nonsense, so let's get to the topic next."

Stern stopped when he said this, and another boo was heard on the scene.

The booing is often the case that fans think the draft pick is manipulated...

Of course, it's like this every year, and Stern gets used to it.

Stern put his hand in his ear and listened to the boo.

espn commentator McBrien, who is currently broadcasting, said: "The Clippers should choose the best forward of the United States college Blake Griffin. Griffin has won 30 "double-double" in NCAA this past season, averaging 14.4 rebounds per game, and is also the "scoring champion" in the Big 12 zone, with an average of 22.7 points per game. In the NCAA finals, Griffin's average data increased to 28.5 points and 15 rebounds, and eventually led the team to the Elite Eight, and the final loss was this year's NCAA champion North Carolina."

Van Gundy said: "Griffin is also known as "Barkley II!"

soon.

Stern received an envelope handed over by the staff!

On the stage, after disassembling, Stern said: "The first pick in the first round of the NBA in 2009, the Los Angeles Clippers chose Blake Griffin from the University of Oklahoma."

This choice was not too surprising. Griffin took the hat and ran to the stage excitedly to shake hands with Stern.

Los Angeles is a big city, and playing in the Clippers is also good.

Lin Rui saw Griffin's happy look.

Griffin was really good in the early stages of his career, with great physical talent and top dunks. He averaged almost 2010 games in the rookie season, which was very strong.

However, his wingspan was too short and his injuries were too many, which restricted him from further growing into a superstar.

Of course, Griffin is now incredible, and Clippers fans also hope that Griffin can lead the team to rise again like Lin Rui, the No. 1 pick two years ago.

The Clippers' situation is not much better than the Knicks in previous years, and the two teams can be called "Longlong Fengseng"!

The Knicks used a No. 1 pick to get rid of the bad team title, and the Clippers were full of expectations for their No. 1 pick.

In the second pick, Memphis selected Tanzanian center Hashem Tabitt from the University of Connecticut.

Tabit started to get involved in basketball at the age of 15, which also led to his poor basic skills and ball sense.

During the three years at the University of Connecticut, Tabit’s data have been showing an annual progress trend, but the cover seems very unique.

In his first year of college, Tabit averaged 3.8 blocks per game, 4.5 blocks per game in his sophomore and 4.2 in his junior year.

Tabitt's 417 blocks left to Connecticut ranked second in school history, second only to Okafor.

He is also the 13th NCAA player in NCAA Division history to have a block more than 4 times per game in his career.

The Grizzlies obviously are interested in Tabit's defense.

But Lin Rui knew very well that Tabit had fallen out of water.

Tabit's lack of skills at the basket, and he relies more on physical talent to grab rebounds and blocks. He has no advantage in the inside position, his movement speed is not slow, but his steps are not fast enough.

These defects are infinitely amplified in NBA, and he is soon eliminated by NBA!

Soon, Stern read the third pick. Just like Lin Rui's memory in his previous life, Presti finally chose James Harden.

Although Harden's growth rate in the early stage was not as fast as the Rockets, he was also considered a qualified sixth man.

Harden's style of play also destined to be the second leader of the team, and even the third leader is not good. He needs to become the boss of the team.

Having Harden be the boss of the team, he never had the temperament to lead the team to succeed.

So at the end of my career, I went around in various teams...

Thunder has been in its growth stage in recent years, so it is not worth fearing.

The fourth pick was Tyrek Evans.

This rookie is the peak guy.

In the 2055 rookie season, such data are comparable to Jordan and James in the rookie season.

The main reason is that his playing style and talent are limited. His talent is far less outstanding than Jordan and James, and he has been praised to this level.

It is natural to be lost in the later stage.

Of course, the Kings management is still very excited now, and their excitement is enough to last a season.

The fifth pick!

When the Knicks traded, they had a guarantee to the Timberwolves that they would not compete with Rubio!

Of course, the Knicks have no interest in Rubio!!

Stern got the Knicks' envelope on stage and said: "In the first round, fifth pick, the Knicks selected Stephen Curry from Davidson Academy!!!"

CCTV Studio.

Zhang Weiping quickly took out Curry's information: "Stephen Curry, 1.91 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms, plays as a point guard and a junior at Davidson Academy. In his freshman season, Curry averaged 21.5 points per game and became the best newcomer and scoring champion in the SEC league.

In his sophomore season, Curry led Davidson Academy to the March 8th quarter.

In March 2008, Davidson College defeated Gonzaga, the seventh-ranked University of the country, the second-seeded University of NCAA and the third-ranked University of Wisconsin, and Curry became one of the four NCAA players in history to score 30 points in the first four games of the knockout match. When facing the University of Kansas, Curry scored the 159th three-pointer of the season, setting a record for NCAA's three-pointer in a single season.

In his junior season, Curry completed the transformation from an attacking guard to a point guard, leading the country with 28.6 points per game, and also contributed 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.5 steals. Curry used this to surpass legend John Gatty to become the historical scoring champion of Davidson Academy. Curry scored 42 points against Oklahoma, which owns Black Griffin, and set his NCAA single-game scoring record."

Zhang Weiping told all the fans about Curry's information.

Domestic fans are very unfamiliar with NBA rookies. After hearing the introduction of Director Zhang, they found out that Stephen Curry was also a fierce man in college.

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "Stephen Curry and Lin Rui are very similar, that is, the three-point shooting. Curry's father is Dell Curry, and he is also a famous shooter in the NBA. Stephen Curry's shooting talent is family inheritance."

Zhang Weiping said: "Of course, Stephen Curry's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his body is very thin. Perhaps after going to the NBA, he may not be able to adapt to such confrontation. There are many players who shine in NCAA that cannot adapt to NBA."

Xu Jicheng said: "The Knicks chose Curry mainly to add a substitute to Lin Rui. Lin Rui's playing time in the first two seasons is too long..."

Indeed, the Knicks chose Curry to let him play a substitute for Lin Rui.

Curry's style of play is still similar to Lin Rui to a certain extent, except for the dunk.

Lin Rui is the first NBA dunk player, but Curry is obviously not.

When Curry heard Stern calling his name, his nervous heart instantly relaxed. He ran over to the stage and shook hands with Stern!

Curry is very excited to be a teammate with Lin Rui!!

Of course, Knicks fans are still dissatisfied with the choice of Curry with the No. 5 draw.

After all, they traded three rotation players out, and then changed to a thin point guard back.

If you want point guards, Flynn, Rubio, Jennings, these point guards are all good, why choose a guy who may not be suitable for the NBA confrontation?

Curry looks really too thin now, and he is not so strong and eye-catching among ordinary people.

Any player who is a slightly stronger player looks like he can knock him away.

Isaiah Thomas smiled when he saw Curry, who Lin Rui had chosen, as he wanted.

Isaiah Thomas now likes to use shooters, and the sound of three-pointers is great.

Lin Rui was also very excited when he saw the Knicks take Curry into his pocket and changed Curry's original trajectory.

Curry is here to play a substitute for himself, and the Knicks' bench lineup will be stronger next season.

Others will question whether Curry can adapt to the NBA intensity, but Lin Rui doesn't.

Lin Rui knows how strong Curry is when he grows up!

Crawford is a good sixth player, but if you compare it with Curry, a fool knows how to choose.

Curry put on the Knicks hat for an interview, while Lin Rui and the executives continued to study how to use the second signing position.

As the draft continues, the first round draft is coming to an end.

Most of the high-quality rookies have been picked up, and what the Knicks do now is to find a bargain.

Finally, after discussions between Lin Rui and a group of executives, the Knicks' No. 30 pick also appeared in Stern and was injured.

Stern said: "The 30th pick in the first round of 2009, the New York Knicks selected Danny Green from the University of North Carolina!"

Compared to the dissatisfaction with Curry's selection, Knicks fans were much more excited when they heard about the North Carolina player Danny Green.

There is no way, the No. 5 draw is a very high pick, and fans naturally expect to choose a future puzzle player instead of a player who may be eliminated.

At the No. 30 pick, just choose a role player.

After the first season of Danny Green University, his father, who was then a physical education teacher, was imprisoned. Danny Green was under tremendous pressure. He almost withdrew from the team in his sophomore year, but the coach's retention and trust made him the starter in his junior year and the captain of his senior year. Danny Green became the player with the most appearances and the most winning games in the history of the North Carolina men's basketball team, and finally won the 2009 NCAA Championship Championship.

In North Carolina, Danny Green is not a scoring player. Even in his senior year, he averaged only 14 points and 4 rebounds per game. What Danny Green can provide is one-hand defense and three-pointers!

He can't be a star, but he can be a top 3D.

After four years of fighting, it also shows that he is mature enough!

When he learned that the Knicks had been selected in the 30th pick in the first round, Danny Green immediately burst into tears.

Danny Green was once ready to lose the election. After all, he is an older rookie and has bad talent.

Danny Green never thought he would become the first round pick tonight.

The difference between a first-round pick and a second-round pick is that a first-round pick will definitely have a guaranteed contract!

This security contract is too important for Danny Green, who is in trouble for the family economy.

Danny Green immediately hugged his mother and family.

After a while, the phone ringtone rang.

An unfamiliar number!

Danny Green picked it up.

"Hi, Danny, hello, I'm Lin Rui."

Hearing Lin Rui's voice, Danny Green immediately stopped crying and immediately signaled his family to calm down.

"Hello, Lin." Danny Green greeted Lin Rui in his only Chinese "Hello!", and his voice was choked.

"Welcome to the championship team, man, are you ready?" Lin Rui said.

"Of course, I feel honored." Danny Green said excitedly.

Danny Green saw the Knicks' thrilling playoff wins this season on TV!

He is extremely excited now!!

"Celebrating with my family these days. After I finish my work, I will find some time to train with me. Stephen will come, then." Lin Rui said.

"Ok, I'll be ready." Danny Green replied.

Danny Green was very excited to have the opportunity to train with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui quickly hung up the phone, and Danny Green still felt like he was dreaming.

"Mom, it was Lin Rui who was on the phone with me just now!!!" Danny Green was very excited!!

The draft is so magical!

Overnight, multiple millionaires will be born, and an ordinary NCAA player and NBA top superstar will become teammates!

Soon, Danny Green received the second call, General Manager Isaiah Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas asked Danny Green if he was there or not, and if he was there, he would go in and attend the press conference directly.

Danny Green quickly bid farewell to his family and entered the Madison Garden Theater!

Lin Rui met Curry and Danny Green, expressed his expectations for the two and left the scene.

Lin Rui didn't have much interest in the next press conference.

However, the media still stopped Lin Rui's sports car in the parking lot, and they insisted that Lin Rui talk about his views on the rookies.

Lin Rui was forced to roll down the car window: "This will be a draft year, Blake Griffin, James Harden, Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan... These people are all excellent, and they will become future All-Star players."

Lin Rui made a few polite words and left.

On the third day after the draft, the Knicks signed a rookie contract with Curry and Danny Green.

Rookie contracts are all 22 mode, there are team options in the third year, and the salary of the No. 5 and No. 30 are fixed, with a certain floating range.

............

There are still a lot of news surrounding Lin Rui at the talent show.

Some media revealed that Lin Rui's status in the Knicks is very special. He has the right to trade players directly and determine the draft!

After this news broke, it caused some shock.

Lin Rui's interference with the Knicks' management still caused some dissatisfaction with some black men.

"Lin Ruixi is almost Manager Lin."

"Hey, aren't you a good player and a manager?"

"I don't like the privilege of Lin Rui."

"I said why are the Knicks' deals and drafts so awesome? It turns out that Dolan and Thomas are puppets, and Lin Rui is the boss behind the scenes."

.........

The relationship between Isaiah Thomas and Lin Rui was not affected too much by the comments of these black fans.

Isaiah Thomas won the title of Best General Manager last season.

Lin Rui will interfere in some management work, but not much, and the way of interference will not be offensive.

Of course, based on Lin Rui's own strength, these privileges are taken for granted.

Kobe and James also have the right to suggest the team's lineup!

Lin Rui doesn't care, it doesn't mean the media doesn't care.

Lin Rui was asked this question by reporters when he returned to China to attend a fan meeting.

The reporter asked: "There are many voices saying that you have interfered with the operation of management. What do you think?"

Lin Rui said: "Our ultimate goal is to win the championship. We are all focusing on this goal. I believe this is not the first champion of our team!"

Lin Rui did not answer reporters' questions positively.

Lin Rui's meaning is very clear, just to win the championship, he will do this.

The reporters are hard to say anything.

At this stage, Lin Rui does have the ability to influence management.

But the Knicks won the championship under the influence of Lin Rui.

16 consecutive wins swept the opponent to win the championship!

Do the other 29 teams want to?

They also thought, but they didn’t have Lin Rui!

This is just a little episode of summer.

.............

There was no big move in the free market in 2009.

Most big fish are ready to enter the free market next year.

Kobe has the right to terminate his contract early, but he chose to renew his contract with the Lakers.

Kobe is already past the age of causing trouble. The Lakers have reached the finals for two consecutive years. He has nothing to be picky about with a bunch of helpers around him.

The Lakers signed Ron Artest and put Ariza in the Rockets.

The Lakers' signing Artest is believed to be specifically to restrain Lin Rui.

In addition, in the East, the Cavaliers did not have much action. They renewed their contracts with Big Z and Valaijo, James and many All-Stars, but in the end no one was willing to go to Cleveland, a place where birds don't poop.

The Celtics signed Rashid Wallace...

There are not many superstars changing their homes, and they are basically supplements of the edges.

Lin Rui didn't wait to pay too much attention to the free market. He had a lot of things to do.

Lin Rui has invested in many companies.

New energy vehicles, Internet, football team, basketball team.

Lin Rui is busy with everything every day.

After holding various events in the country, Lin Rui also returned to New York.

Lin Rui's parents and Li Feifei's parents also came to their homes in New York to accompany Li Feifei to give birth.

On September 18, Lin Rui's child was born, a boy.

After Lin Rui discussed with Li Feifei, he named Lin Yuanxi.

Yuanxi means that he hopes for a bright future.

After Li Feifei gave birth to a child, Lin Rui also focused on accompanying the child to grow up and basketball training.

Lin Rui invited Curry, Danny Green, Gasol Jr., Tucker and others to conduct special training. External trainers will conduct special training, and Lin Rui will also provide technical guidance to them.

On October 8, the Knicks' training camp officially opened, and the Knicks generals also returned from the holiday.

The Knicks team has also started preparing for the new season!!
