Chapter 153 The Nuggets' summer signings(1/2)
"Stop playing basketball, be a star!"
Sun Yue rarely envies people, but seeing Lin Ying, who had cut her hairstyle, couldn't help but speak.
Lin Ying finally got up and looked at it, nodding with satisfaction.
"You guys who play basketball? This hairstyle also needs to be taken care of, otherwise you will be ruined by washing it in the game."
As it turns out, this small barber shop really has a person hidden.
"Do you have a business card? The kind with real name."
Lin Ying finally asked the young man for a business card.
The young man was very quick to move and took out his business card from his inner pocket of his shirt.
When I handed over, I didn't forget to remind me:
"If you come back next time, please be sure to find me."
Lin Ying took the business card and saw the young man's name.
Eh? Wu Liuqi?
The Wu surname is one of the hundreds of surnames in China, the most famous Wu Zixu of Yuechu.
But this is Wu Liuqi.
Young man, are you traveling through time like me?
Because I was so bored, I started to get a haircut?
This is unknown.
But Lin Ying remembered one thing.
His team is recruiting troops, and it seems that there is still a hairstylist missing?
And the guy's name matches his nickname!
...
When Lin Ying and the national team moved from Sanya to Beijing to train, the NBA playoffs were in full swing.
The first one to be shot was Chris Cannon.
Although he led 2-0 with a big score, the Hornets suffered a reversal from the Jazz after 7 games and were eventually eliminated 3-4.
This Western Final floor is indeed difficult to touch!
Of course, the flooring of the Eastern Conference Finals is also difficult. The Celtics defeated the Cavaliers by only 5 points in the second tiebreak.
If this fails in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, let alone the Big Three comforting Auerbach's soul, Auerbach will probably be so angry that he will crawl out of the coffin.
The divisional semi-finals were played vigorously, but in comparison, the finals were much smoother.
Two 4-2, the Celtics and the Lakers are looking forward to encounter in the finals.
The Lakers "scored into June" as Kobe said in his MVP speech.
This is also the NBA's "yellow and green war" again after 21 years.
Lin Ying followed the national team to compete in Ningbo Beilun training, but also paid attention to the finals.
As mentioned earlier, he was curious whether this Lakers could win the championship.
The final result of the game: reasonable.
The Celtics defeated the Lakers 4-3 to win the championship, and they defeated the Lakers in the tiebreak.
More running-in has made the Lakers more tacit and have higher combat effectiveness.
But many details in the game make it difficult for the Lakers to win this year's Finals.
Referee, home advantage, injuries, physical fitness, etc.
Injuries and physical fitness are the main factors.
Kobe's skills won't be done just because he finished playing with the Nuggets.
This greatly affected Kobe's form in the finals.
Coupled with the Celtics' historically level defensive strength, his shooting percentage fell by less than 40%.
Then there is Gasol's physical fitness.
Thinking about Lin Ying being able to fuck him all night. As a man in the first round of ten thousand years, he has never experienced such a high-intensity and long-term competition.
Moreover, he is facing Garnett, who is still at the end of his peak, and his performance is also greatly restricted.
So after watching this final, Lin Ying was still very touched.
The most direct point is that winning the championship is not a matter of the finals, but it lasts for the entire playoffs.
In addition to strength, injuries, physical fitness, and status are all things that need to be overcome.
If you don’t take shortcuts to realize the dream of championship, it will be extremely difficult.
One week after the finals, the draft and free agent market will be there.
Lin Ying continued to pay attention during training.
Now he definitely has no ability to influence the management, but he has a better record than the same period in history and has entered the second round earlier, so it is inevitable to strengthen.
Moreover, after playing with the Lakers for a round, the Nuggets' problems were clearly on the table, and it is inevitable to improve the outside defense.
In fact, before the draft began, there was news that the Nuggets wanted to send Martin away and replace a qualified outside 3D player.
Martin is in a relatively awkward situation now. With the Nuggets having a better Lin Ying, his cost-effectiveness seems to be relatively low.
Especially next season, Lin Ying and Anthony will definitely start, and it will be a waste of anyone playing as a substitute for Martin and Nene, the two contracts of tens of millions.
The young Nene proved that even if he was missing one ball, he was still a tough guy, so Martin became the best bargaining chip.
It is to put a question mark on who can be exchanged for this chip in the end, or whether it can be exchanged for it.
If a big contract is injured, it will make his transaction value plummet.
On June 27, the 2008 NBA Draft arrived as scheduled in New York.
Originally, if Lin Ying had not returned to China, she would probably have followed Durant to the scene.
One is for Augustine, and the other is Durant's other friend Beasley.
Both of them will run for the election this year, and both entered the Green House.
Let’s talk about Augustine first.
After Lin Ying and Durant left the team, Texas University recruited McDonald's All-Star high school student JJ Hickson with his title of champion.
They are also continued to be optimistic.
However, when playing the invitational match with Memphis University, Augustine was restricted by Ross and only scored 16 points, and the team lost 18 points.
In the big12 final, the University of Texas also lost to the University of Kansas again.
This wave of "the second child of the previous year" seems to be able to wait for Holiday Butler and others to cross.
Then, the hottest rookie this year is Derek Ross.
Ross joined the University of Memphis in his freshman season, and averaged 14.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. As the core team led the team to the Crazy Third Finals!
His unslow speed and fast breaking speed amaze NBA scouts.
This is also another defender who is optimistic about the outside world after 12 years since Iverson in 1996.
It's a pity that Ross ended up losing to the University of Texas's old rival, the University of Kansas in the Crazy Three final.
Old opponents such as Chanmos, Rush, Arthur, and Cowan are also going to enter the NBA a year later than Lin Ying and Durant.
Lin Ying watched this talent show on TV.
Generally speaking, it is the same as in history.
Rose was picked by the Bulls and was elected No. 1;
Beasley went to the Heat with the second pick;
The Thunder won Westbrook with the fourth pick, and Durant welcomed the "best defensive player";
The Bucks selected the "Chinese Boy" Joe Alexander, who had lived in China for 6 years in the 8th pick;
Bobcats took Augustine in the ninth pick. It is unknown whether Boss Qiao looked down on Lin Ying and fell in love with Augustine or missed Lin Ying and chose Augustine;
The Trail Blazers picked Rush at the 13th pick and sent him to the Pacers;
The Raptors took Hibert at the 17th pick and then sent him to the Pacers;
The Rockets selected Batum at the 25th pick and sent him to the Trail Blazers;
The Timberwolves selected Qian Moss with the 34th pick and sent him to the Heat;
The Thunder took Cowan with the 56th pick;
...
