PFC Chapter 175 After the championship, and...they are here!
Chapter 175 After the championship, and...they are here!
Chapter 175 After the championship, and...they are here!
After the press conference, Otis beckoned Li Wan to walk slowly, apparently he had something to say.
At first Li Wanyi thought it was related to Turkoglu's contract renewal, but unexpectedly, it was indeed a contract renewal issue, but not Turkoglu's contract renewal issue.
It was Li Wan's own contract renewal issue. ——That’s right, considering the self-esteem of the Magic’s management, how could it be possible to discuss with the players how to trade?
Even if this person is Li Wan, it won't work!
I'd like to see if I can stand up and close the deal!
There's no way, it's just so backbone...
Li Wan signed the 3 plus 1 contract commonly used by rookies with the Lakers.The first three years are fully guaranteed, and the last year is a team option.The 2 plus 2 contract in another situation has the same meaning. The first two years are fully guaranteed, and the last two years are team options.
Ok……
During the "child labor contract", players have no human rights like this.
Li Wan is currently in the state of having just completed the second year of his rookie contract, and there are still two years before this contract will end.
but……
Who made him look up so much!
08年“最佳新秀”、08年全明星新秀挑战赛MVP、07~08赛季最佳阵容三阵、07~08赛季新秀最佳阵容一阵、08年全明星西部首发、09年全明星MVP、09年全明星东部首发、09年最佳阵容二阵、08~09赛季总冠军兼最终的总决赛MVP……
In just two years, there are already so many titles. Although this is not yet great, it is clearly on the road to greatness!
Otis, as the "best general manager in the history of the Magic", must have a number in the middle of AC in his heart.
Li Wanyi heard that it was an early contract renewal, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Dude, I still have two years left on my rookie contract!" He didn't think that Otis would let him jump out of his rookie contract early the last year.Even if he is willing, the Magic boss will not be willing.
Of course, if I really want to say...
It's just right not to jump!
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 wrangling due to the expiration of the "labor agreement" and uneven distribution of spoils.
Until the end of November, this ended the lockout.
After this lockout, 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".
In other words, by then he can sign a big contract with a starting salary of $1740 million...
Probably the starting salary of the third contract of Chris Paul's super giant career!
Isn't this better than renewing the contract in advance?
but……
Thinking of this, Li Wan suddenly had a question in his mind...
If he fits the bill...
So the "Ross Clause" may have to be renamed, right?
Otis was not surprised by Li Wan's reaction either.He doesn't have the ability to predict or predict, but he knows in his heart that it's too early to say this.
Can……
As the "best general manager in the league", Otis has always reminded himself:
Be careful not to follow the old path of the general manager of the Magic...
The time to renew the contract is early and the time is early. Whether to say it or not is a matter of attitude!
There are two words involved here:
respect!
The two didn't say anything more, Otis patted Li Wan on the shoulder, thanking 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 because he was too tired to fly again, and the other was that he happened to have a house in Los Angeles.
By no means is it because Taylor is also in LA...
Just in this way, the Magic fans who were still waiting at the Orlando airport in the middle of the night were a little disappointed.
The rest of the Magic team are also heroes, but the person they most want to see at this moment...
Undoubtedly the "youngest FMVP in history" who made the world focus on Orlando!
Howard also noticed this, not because he was so keen, but because he looked around, in the crowd, about 70.00% of the fans, the posters in their hands were almost all posters of Li Wan alone, or Li Wan and him. , the number of fans holding his personal poster aloft is probably less than 20%.
If this continues, this place will really become Li Wan's city!
Can……
Obviously I was the first!
overnight fermentation.
The next morning, the game was covered across America.
ESPN released the data to let everyone know that the real-time viewing data of this game in the United States is second only to the last game of the "God of Basketball" in 98, ranking second in NBA history.
This caused quite a stir.
It was also at this time that other media in the sports industry discovered...
After Michael Jordan retired, David Stern re-established the NBA with a good-sized base in the United States through the unswerving "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 the international market better than me!
The major media, headed by Orlando, used Li Wan's phrase "LA, this is for you" as the headline to ridicule the Los Angeles Lakers.
It's all in one sentence:
Los Angeles, you also have times when you are trampled in the face!
Rejoice!
What a joy!
The Los Angeles media publicly accused the league of favoritism, the Magic's "illegal cover" and Li Wan's last "suspected move" inaction.
Unfortunately, there was no response.
The famous "Zhanhei" Skip Bayless said: "Actually, what Li Wan should be most grateful to is LeBron. Without him, "Li Wanbu" would never have appeared, and he would not have been able to show up at the last moment. Get rid of Kobe with a similar novelty!"
Under his reminder, LeBron James was pushed to the cusp.
Some media bluntly said that LeBron is "mud can't support the wall!"
The league has worked hard to help him solve his walking problem, but what happened?
Fall in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
There are also some media mocking the league there.
In order to praise LeBron, I don't want my face...
But in the end, the calculation is not as good as the sky. Because of the change of the walking rules, the monstrous Li Wan actually researched the "devil's steps" in just over two months.
And even LeBron James was eliminated by him...
It can only be said that there is a certain number in the dark!
It is worth mentioning that the well-known American comic satirist also specially drew a cartoon: the Bulls jersey No. 23 hanging high, the Q version of Li Wan holding the No. 23 jersey in his hand, ready to pull over his head, at his feet, He was stepping on the No. 23 jersey of the Cavaliers.
Next to it is the line that Li Wan said when he was dressing: This number 23, Michael Jordan wears, LeBron wears, I, Li Wan, can't wear it?
This passage spread quickly and was spread by many media as the bible.
There is a posture of letting the classics last forever.
Of course, there have also been some criticisms against "Li Wanbu". They think that the league should adjust the walking rules back, because "Li Wanbu" has proved that this is challenging the basic gameplay of basketball.
He is even willing to dribble while walking with the ball in his arms!
Completely rugby-style dribbling, which has become rationalized because of the league's changes to the walking rules, is really too annoying.
Those old basketball players who have lived in this industry for more than ten years or even decades expressed that they could not accept it.
Really don't say...
These criticisms sounded, and there was a response that afternoon. The suspected official revealed privately that they were considering restoring the original definition of walking.
However, these rumors have not received a formal response, and they have been left alone for the time being.
The outside world is discussing lively.
At this time, the handsome Oklahoma man Kevin Durant also woke up from the drunkenness of marijuana.
He glanced towards the window, the curtains were tightly covered. Recently, people have been watching him with binoculars from the opposite side. He is really a pervert. Fortunately, he found out with binoculars...
After that, he never opened the curtains again.
Lifting the quilt, revealing the bright red ball pants, just stepping on the Nike shoes, "tatatata" walked to the TV, ready to watch the sixth game of the finals between the Lakers and the Magic tonight.
The time should be almost up.
"md, he actually won the fifth game!"
In his opinion, Li Wan is really a bit of a dog.
Seeing that he was already behind by 1 to 2, the situation changed suddenly, and he was banned for two games in a row, but got the match point first.
This is so...
However, the Lakers have Kobe after all!
This is one of his four idols!
Overtaking is like cheating, there is a first time, and 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..."
But, when he turned on the TV, he was dumbfounded.
ESPN is reporting the news that the Magic won the championship.
In the picture, Li Wan, holding the championship trophy in his left hand and the MVP trophy in the right hand, is smiling brightly, like the fiercest sun!
The stabbing made Xiao Kai unable to open his eyes!
I must be on too much marijuana, or I haven't woken up yet!
Yes, it must be!
How could Li Wan and the Magic win the championship?
impossible!
Must not be possible!
"Tata Tata..."
Kevin Durant turned off the TV, dragged his Nikes, and walked back to his bed, thinking it was a nightmare...
Xiaoshuai refused to accept this fact, and the impact of the championship night continued.
Stan Van Gundy's drenched suit fetched $2 at auction.
With the ball that night, the official specially asked all members of the Magic team to sign their names, and the price was finally sold for 5 knives.
There are also other scattered items related to the Magic team's game last night, and they have also sold for prices that are more than ten or twenty times the usual price.
In particular, the "Let the World Focus on Orlando" worn on Li Wan's head sold for a sky-high price of 10 knives!
But this is not the thing that makes Li Wan the happiest.
What really made him happy was that the remaining 2 copies of "Let the World Focus on Orlando" also have collection value. In the small circle, now a "Let the World Focus on Orlando" has sold for 1000 dollars, which is more than the original price. 10 times.
Under Li Wan's instruction, PG1 also immediately launched championship-related series, such as "Magic's First Championship in History", "Night of the Championship", and the final version of "Last Shot"...
There are about seven or eight items, large and small, ranging from clothes to headbands to hats.
Under Tai Lun's constant urging, in just three or four days, the PG1 online store launched new products one after another.
Li Wanyou expected that these new products would definitely sell well.
But he really didn't expect that in just two days of going online, the worst sales of each single product were more than 2 orders, and the best, such as "Last Vote", broke 2 orders in 5 days.
In the past two days alone, Li Wan did some calculations, and he has already earned almost 1 million yuan.
This just made up for the more than 1 million taxes paid in January, and the balance of Li Wan's account was almost 8 million dollars before he knew it.In addition, he circled about 6 bits without a trace.
Since it was launched in January 09, it was given away as garbage, and it cost almost no money. Li Wan used seven or eight accounts to encircle about 1 bitcoins.
Of course, this is not the ultimate goal. Li Wan's goal is about 2, and then waits for the capital tycoons to enter this circle, taking advantage of the bull market to "empty-handed white wolves".
Even if his intervention caused this thing to fail to work, Li Wan was not afraid, since it was all for nothing anyway.
Don't feel bad!
After a few days of shameless life with Taylor in Los Angeles, Li Wan headed back to Orlando.
He actually bumped into a dozen Orlando fans picking up the plane there.
no……
Even Taylor didn't know when he was on the plane, how did these people know?
After asking a few words, Li Wan also understood, good guy, this group of people took turns guarding the airport, and they just kept guarding for almost a week.
I'm so damn popular!
Li Wan couldn't help shaking his head, what should he do if his popularity is too high, he's waiting online, he's in a hurry.
However, it is quite normal to think about it. After all, this is the first championship in the history of the Magic. Orlando has waited 20 years for this historic moment.
For those who broke history, can they not have a little more fanatical love?
How crazy is it...
Let's put it this way, among this group of fans, there is a female fan with a large cup of milk tea. She tattooed Li Wan's face on the milk tea cup, and opened the lid of the milk tea to let Li Wan see if she looks like it.
This is this...
Can't, can't!
Li Wan covered his eyes with his hands, glanced roughly through the gaps between his fingers, and said something, it seemed like that.
This kind of fanatical love gave Li Wan a bold idea: Many teams in the league are like the Magic. They have not yet won the first championship in team history. first……
I don't know who is greater than LeBron's three teams and four championships!
Since he is the second in history that many media say, isn't it recognized as the yth in history...
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I can't think about it anymore. If I think about it any longer, Ma Jian will have something to say.
"Lee! Can you sign me?"
A little boy jumped up in front of Li Wan with a loud voice, and showed Li Wan a confident tug on his clothes.
On the clothes, a handsome figure jumping high and shooting the ball came into view.
It is PG1 that just launched the championship version "Last Shot"!
Those who support the business are the bosses!
Li Wan immediately became more enthusiastic, and asked the little boy's name specifically.
"My name is Julian Newman!"
Julian...
Newman!
ha?
When Li Wan first heard this name, he thought it was a name with a celebrity temperament, and then he remembered who this boy was. ——The black kid who was once called a "basketball prodigy" and grew up in "devil training" arranged by his father since he was a child.As a result, because of too much training, his height did not develop, and he became "injured Zhongyong".
However, he remembered that child, with a very crazy temper...
Now this...
With a bright smile and a longing child on his face, no matter how you look at it, Li Wan can't connect the two of them together.
Sure enough, personality does change a person's appearance and temperament.
"Li, I hope I can become 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 courageous!
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..."
Heart-warming words made Newman's face melt like chocolate.
But Li Wan's words continued:
"Because it's hard to be me! You can't do it..."
Uh……
Newman's smile stopped abruptly, and his expression of "seeing a ghost" gradually increased.
I am still a child!
Satisfied with his reaction, Li Wan patted him on the shoulder again, straightened up, and walked away.
Go to the fucking basketball dream mission...
get!
Back home, Li Wan called Greg and the three of them one by one again.
Hi!
The buddies won the championship and FMVP, these brothers just sent congratulatory text messages, why didn't they answer the phone!
Li Wan could only send them a photo of himself with the two trophies again.
This is almost ten times, right?
This is not to show off, this is to give my brothers some goals in life.
If he knew that Mike Conley, who had just rested for two or three minutes, saw the message he sent, and immediately started holding the ball to break the press, he would definitely say:
"Look, how useful it is!"
On June 6th, the Orlando Magic championship parade day that many people look forward to arrives.
This is the first championship in the history of the Magic team.
Magic fans have been looking forward to it for 20 years.
Magic team owner Rich DeVos is also not stingy at all, throwing out 1 million knives for this parade...
It was without a doubt a big day for many Orlandians!
Li Wan woke up in the morning, but unexpectedly received a call from Dayao.
Yao Ming hopes that he can play in this year's Asian Championships at home.
Li Wan didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "Let's leave this opportunity to other young people. What the Huaxia men's basketball team needs is more fresh blood..."
Yao Ming wanted to say something else, but Li Wan finally refused.
In fact, Li Wan hoped that Yao Ming would not participate.
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.
In front of my door, I didn't win the Asian Championships, and on such a serious occasion on the podium, the "sneering door" incident happened...
Really, I don't even want my face!
Participating in the 08 Olympic Games is Li Wan's pure heart.
Not participating in the 09 Asian Championships, or even the 10 World Championships, is Li Wan's top-down disdain for Lanxie and Languan.
Anyway, these two tournaments have no effect on the 2012 Olympic Games. Even if they fail miserably, when the 2011 Asian Championships are held, the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team will still have a chance to win tickets for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Li Wan regards himself as the insurance of the Huaxia men's basketball team. He feels that after waiting for two years, he does have the qualifications and strength to position himself in this way.
one more……
In the 08-09 season, Li Wan played almost 1 games. This summer, he didn't want to be so tired.
Anyway, under the circumstances that Yao Ming will definitely participate, the Huaxia men's basketball team should not encounter the original embarrassment.
Before the start of the tour, Li Wan saw a sample photo of Li Wan's second-generation signature shoes from Tai Lun: the Lakers color scheme and the Magic color scheme form a shape similar to a Tai Chi diagram, covering the entire upper.
After the line treatment, the color of the upper looks mixed but not chaotic, and the water and milk blend together.
The appearance of the O'Brien Cup can also be vaguely seen from the lines.
The design inspiration naturally comes from Li Wan's FMVP speech, "Thank you to the Magic and the Lakers for making this trophy"...
It can be seen that this designer is also a joke!
Still, in terms of creativity, the first two seasons of Li Wan's career can be perfectly summed up.
Signature shoes!
What you want is to reflect the character of the player!
I don't know how upset Lakers fans will be when they see the colorway of this pair of shoes.
Li Wan...
I am quite satisfied!
He wants every pair of his shoes to be unique.
He did it in the last pair, and he thinks he did it in this pair too!
The cruise starts at 9 o'clock.
Tens of thousands of people in Orlando followed the sightseeing bus all the way. Li Wan and Howard were on the first sightseeing bus, and bottles of champagne were sprayed on both sides of the car one after another.
Under the sunlight, the translucent champagne was scattered, and every drop seemed to be shining.
Fans of the Magic team rushed to bathe in the "holy water", as pious as believers praying in the direction of Jerusalem.
The scene is not very lively.
Most of the Orlandians were wearing custom championship T-shirts, and some were wearing PG1's latest.
Of course, the most PG1 peripherals on the scene had to be the hat that "let the world focus on Orlando".
A total of 2 pieces were sold, and Li Wan felt that there were at least [-] pieces at the scene.
They are all customers...
The corners of Li Wan's mouth could not help but curl up, revealing Taylor Swift's sweet smile.
The parade ends with a champion speech.
Howard, who was having a good time at first, is not happy again at this time.
Because Magic fans obviously want Li Wan to say a few more words.
Can……
Obviously I was the 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, which makes Howard worry again.
No!
Can't go on like this!
go on like this...
I'm going to be Pau Gasol!
I am now the "No. [-] center in the league"!
Howard is very clear that he must make greater progress this summer, especially on the offensive end...
I must learn to play singles with the ball!
Li Wan has a lot of ball possessions, and his statistics are good-looking, so he won the "Finals MVP Award"!
If I have the ability to play singles at the basket next season, won't I be able to hold the ball more?
Yes!
That's it!
That's it!
Howard felt that he had discovered Huadian...
It's the key to his return to being the leader of the Magic...
He can't just perform on the defensive end, he must also have a stronger sense of presence on the offensive end!
His eyes became hotter, and a smile appeared on Howard's face again!
After the champion's speech, there will be an exciting session that only VIPs can enter...
Free flow of beer, unlimited refills of Coke!
There are also wonderful performances by Magic Dragon, the mascot of the Magic team, and the cheerleaders, waiting for you to see!
The excitement is endless, the joy is endless, and everything is in the big party at the Amway Arena!
Now Li Wan finally had time to clink glasses with his teammates. Only then did he realize that Turkoglu was out of shape all night.
More than ten days after the finals, from what Li Wan knew, Otis and Turkoglu hadn't negotiated a summer contract extension yet.
As originally, Otis still does not plan to offer a contract with an annual salary of more than 600 million.
His reason is very simple. In the next 3 games of the finals, you Turkoglu is a soy sauce in the starting list, and you are not as good as Raja Bell!
The 6 million depends on how well you played in the regular season, and you have contributed to the rise of the Magic in the past two years.
otherwise……
Based on your performance in the finals, it is considered good to be able to give 4 million.
It was also at this moment that Li Wan reacted belatedly, it seemed that because of his existence, Turkoglu was even more embarrassed!
Originally, Otis felt that the upper limit of the Magic was just like this, so even though he thought Turkoglu was not bad, he finally let him go.
But now, he simply doesn't like Turkoglu.
In the battle against the Lakers, the Magic relied on the core lineup of Li Wan, Howard, and Lewis to complete the comeback.
That being the case, why not continue to strengthen according to this core lineup?
For example, adding a three-point shooter with faster defensive movement can improve the Magic's flank defense while ensuring that the third position has firepower.
more importantly……
Cheap!
He still has to save money to sign Li Wan!
Such an attitude is naturally unacceptable to Turkoglu.In this case, he naturally couldn't laugh.
However, Li Wan knew very well that the Trail Blazers and Raptors were willing to spend a lot of money to sign him, as before. What they valued was Turkoglu's breakthrough ability and organizational ability on the flank.
If the owner of the Trail Blazers is really willing to spend money, any free agent, as long as they are famous and the team can use them, they can't wait to spend a lot of money to bring them back to Portland.
The only ones criticized in that place may be the group of "veterinarians" who serve the Trail Blazers!
No one understands injuries better than them!
Turkoglu had signed a big contract, so Li Wan didn't say anything, but simply clinked glasses with him.
The carnival is over, and there are some regulations that belong to the first championship in the history of the Orlando team. Now there is only one championship ring left.
The owner of the Magic team, Rich DeVos, wanted to make the ring of the team’s first championship even more memorable, but he had no choice but to be cash-strapped. The direct sales store only made tens of millions of profits throughout the year. Worse than Blazers owner Paul Allen blinking a few times.
There is also a gap between NBA owners and NBA owners.
I really have no money!
So Li Wan didn't think much about it.
To say that it was the new owner of the Warriors who invested in the championship ring.
It is directly worth several million sapphire facets.
How atmospheric!
On June 6, the fifth day after the end of the Magic's championship tour, the 25 draft was held in Madison Square as scheduled.
In the past few days, the news of Li Wan's refusal to participate in the 09 Asian Championships has been sent back to China, which has caused a lot of controversy. Some reporters directly questioned Li Wan: "If we fail to win the Asian Championships this time, what will you do?" Don't you regret refusing to participate?"
Faced with such unwarranted questions, Li Wan responded unceremoniously: "If I were missing, I wouldn't be number one in Asia. Then you should be more worried about the overall strength of the men's basketball team..."
"I am happy to be the trump card of the Huaxia men's basketball team, but I don't think I can carry the revival of the Huaxia men's basketball team alone. The China men's basketball team has already been brilliant. The national team needs more fresh blood, not back and forth. So more than a dozen people have been occupying the quota, and as I have at least ten years of professional career, I hope that the national team competition that is not related to the Olympic quota can give more young people opportunities, even if it is just me!"
These words calmed many people's doubts. As for the remaining people who insisted on it and thought that "since you have the ability, you have to work hard for every national competition", Li Wan didn't bother to answer.
From the second day after the "Champions Parade", Li Wan devoted himself to the special training plan.
His statistics in the finals are very good, but the gap with Kobe is visible to the naked eye.
In the entire series, except for the sixth game that followed the first game, he was basically at a disadvantage in the other few matchups with Kobe.
This means that he is still a long way from the top players in the league!
Train during the day and rest at home at night.
His routine gradually became more regular.
I also have time to watch the 09 draft...
Sit in front of the TV and wait for it to start.
Li Wan glanced at Twitter with his mobile phone, and Howard uploaded a few photos of training.He also started the training program on the second day after the end of the "Champions Parade".
Such an attitude is undoubtedly good news for the Magic.
only……
Li Wan remembers that it seems that since the 09-10 season, Howard is particularly concerned about the proportion of his ball possession. The conflict between him and Stan Van Gundy also began in this season.
Now, Li Wan won the championship FMVP...
Howard, who is gradually concerned about the boss position, is so stimulated that even Li Wan is not sure what the direction of the Magic team in the new season will be.
Boos came from the TV, which interrupted Li Wan's thinking. He looked at the TV screen, and it turned out that David Stern was on stage.
09 "draft year"...
Or so the experts say!
But Li Wan is very clear that the overall quality of this year is not much different from that of 07 and 08.
These three years are a bit like the Pan-96 generation...
In the three years from 96 to 98, superstars who ruled the NBA for the next 10 years were born.
From 07 to 09, a group of superman balloon stars who will influence the next ten years of NBA were also born!
After a brief opening remark, David Stern announced the choice of the Clippers, the owner of the No. 09 pick in the first round of [-]...
In the case of a clear card, "Lord Baylor" finally picked the right one. Blake Griffin, even if the rookies of the 09 draft are rearranged ten years later, they can still be ranked in the top five or even the top three. .
Even with his explosive dunking style, he became a superman balloon star as soon as he entered the league. During his four years as a rookie, he has been steadily suppressing other rookies in the 09 class.
The second pick the Grizzlies selected was Thabeet.
This is a parallel import, and another typical example of ruining his NBA prospects because of the wrong choice.
In the 08 NBA Draft, Thabeet was also a top-five favorite in the first round, but because the head coach of the university team said "Stay here and play for another year, the team needs you", Thabeet played for the third season in the university .
As a result, the potential was exhausted, the technology was finalized, and he caught up with the early stage of the "small ball era". He didn't know how to adapt to the trend. In two or three seasons, he just left the league in a bleak way.
The third overall pick belongs to the Thunder, and their selection has not changed. James Harden walked onto the stage with dazed eyes and shook hands with David Stern for a photo.
The future "Thunder Four" officially assembled!
Kings' fourth pick in the first round, Tyreke Evans;
Both the fifth and sixth picks in the first round belong to the Timberwolves.
They selected "Golden Boy" Rubio with the fifth overall pick and Jonny Flynn with the sixth overall pick.
The two picks that are so close to each other chose to win the guard. This time, the Timberwolves are not "overwhelmed by too many signings", but the "golden boy" Rubio has already said that he will stay in Europe for two more years.
Two years, idle is idle, the Timberwolves choose to try to train a guard again, if it succeeds, it will be fine even if Rubio doesn't come!
In case of failure...
They are also patiently waiting for the arrival of the "golden boy"!
Look, what a wise management thinking, after Kevin Garnett left, he couldn't make the playoffs in ten years, no wonder others!
Seventh pick...
coming!
Li Wan looked at the lottery area, a thin guy who looked like he was underage, and even made people suspect that he was still a primary school student, stood up amidst the cheers.
The appearance was a bit 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 one he wanted to go to was the Knicks...
But in the end, no matter how much their team made repeated requests and was unwilling to go to other teams, the "logo man" still felt that the twisted melon would be sweet, so he chose to cut off his beard in advance!
The New York media was so angry that they cursed: "You deserve to be in the finals so many times, and finally won a championship. You really want to start a dyeing workshop because you have some color!"
Jerry West smiled slightly: I don't care, as long as I feel good!
just now……
Sitting in the backstage Warriors lounge, Jerry West felt, the feeling of cutting the beard is awesome!
Li Wan knew that Jerry West was very optimistic about Stephen Curry.
But he never expected that this little guy he was very optimistic about would promote the progress of the "small ball era" in the future and truly change the tactical status of the three-pointer. The number one position in the league with ten positions!
The legend starts from this moment!
For some reason, Li Wan's mind popped up such a sentence.
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 Uniques" officially blew the assembly number!
Li Wan looks forward to killing them one by one and becoming "above the five masters"!
The draft is still going on, and there are still many very high-quality rookies, such as Li Wan's current template DeRozan, and the youngest "Mr. 50 Points" Jennings, Jrue Holiday, Jeff Teague, Darren Collison, Wayne...
Eh?
Oh, it's not Wayne, it's Wayne Ellington...
Well, this is not!
In the second round, there are Beverly, Danny Green, Zeiss Budinger, etc.
From the perspective of latecomers, it is really hard to believe that this will be called a "draft year"!
These experts are really...
Outrageous!
At the same time, it also shows that sometimes scouting reports can really deceive people!
The draft conference in 09 was a draft conference in which the collective scout reports "failed"!
Li Wan looked more and more greedy.
But the Magic still don't have any draft picks this year, and even the second-round picks were sent out by Otis.
Obviously there is a chance for free whoring, but you can only watch, this is really uncomfortable...
Gan!
Don't look!
Li Wanxuan is about to turn off the TV.
In the next few days, he continued to conduct special training, and with the end of the draft, July 7 came, and the free market opened again in the summer of 1.
This means that the 08~09 season is officially over, and next, it will be the beginning of the 09~10 season championship battle...
The team that fired the first shot was the Timberwolves. They sent Mike Miller and Randy Foye to the Wizards for Etan Thomas, Darius Sangueira and Orekse Pecherov.
There was a lot of battle, but in Li Wan's memory, it didn't seem to have caused any great changes.
It was purely an exchange of resources that the general managers of the two teams looked down upon.
You search in my "trash dump", and I search in your "trash dump", maybe you can find something useful?
Then there was the deal between the Spurs and the Bucks. The Spurs paid three veterans, Bowen, Oberto and Thomas, and got All-Star small forward Jefferson from the Bucks.
This wave of operations is also a typical resource exchange.
The Bucks felt that they were hopeless, so they asked the Spurs for three expired resources, especially Bruce Bowen, who didn't even go to Milwaukee, and announced his retirement in San Antonio in September, ending his sinful life.
To be honest, everyone is responsible for the fact that this person can leave this league with good hands and feet!
In addition, it can also be seen from this that Bruce Bowen's sincerity for Popovich...
For the Spurs, the last bit of value was completely squeezed out!
Speaking of which, Popovich is really good at playing tricks. Later, in order to successfully renew Leonard’s contract, 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, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet!
Popovich is indeed a bit capable, but the final result of this deal is hard to describe. Jefferson is completely unsuitable for the Spurs system. The small forward who averaged 22 points per game wasted his last few years in the Spurs. Expect.
And just after the deal on the Spurs side.
The league has announced several deals in succession:
The Cavaliers traded forward Ben Wallace, guard Pavlovich and a future draft pick in exchange for the Suns' center O'Neal.
"Little Emperor" teamed up with "NBA Best Three-team Center in 09"!
Then the big deal between the Clippers and the Grizzlies was officially completed. The Clippers sent star forward Randolph to the Grizzlies and got Quentin Richardson from the Grizzlies.
The wind from the free market in the summer of 09 was obviously much stronger than last summer...
