Chapter 173
With Sabonis intact, Lin Chen would never dare to do this kind of thing. As long as Sabonis' injury can be prevented from getting worse, that's already great!
In fact, most of these big men have declined in strength due to injuries to their legs and feet.
O'Neal is suffering from toe injuries, and Duncan lost one of his legs at a young age and was injured by plantar fascia.
Inflammation has tortured his entire career, and Nowitzki's is even more so.
Now one leg is no different from being lame.
In fact, these injuries are caused by the compression of the lower limbs caused by excessive weight.
If these guys Even if the big guys are not injured or sick, Lin Chen can't even imagine how they will dominate the NBA!
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Lin Chen looks down on James. You guy, with the Big Three, you can't beat two old and seriously injured power forwards, but Wade is at the top of Nowitzki! Of course, the whistles that year were so outrageous, but Wade did win. You, James, were enjoying a huge whistle bonus and still couldn't beat them. It was really outrageous!
After receiving the commitment and guarantee from the Trail Blazers, Lin Chen and Duncan were completely free. They had basically decided that one would be the second overall pick and the other would be the top pick. There was no need for the two of them to go through joint training and joint testing. It's completely meaningless. This kind of physical test can be done when you join the team.
Don't look at the Trail Blazers' emphasis on Lin Chen, the Mavericks' team is even more outrageous. Cuban just needs a board to provide for Duncan! As soon as he got the No. 1 pick, he flew to Wake Forest with his secretary and coaching staff, and met with Duncan immediately, which made Duncan feel a little embarrassed!
Old Nelson couldn't stop laughing when he looked at Duncan. Although Wang Zhizhi and Nash, the two players he was optimistic about, are no longer with him, the other player they inspected, Nowitzki, is still not there. Candidate, but now that Duncan is here, who cares about Nowitzki?
Cuban has not met Nowitzki at this time, and has not developed any obsession with Nowitzki.
Now that he sees Duncan, Cuban is shocked.
All these feelings were poured into Duncan, and Nelson was wondering whether to bring Nash back and let him try to partner with Duncan.
Of course, Mike Finley is also a very powerful successor to Jordan.
With him Partnering with Duncan is also a very good choice.
Cuban is even more direct.
Tell Duncan who you want to be a teammate.
Tell him directly and I will definitely buy it for you as soon as possible!
It's a pity that the teammate Duncan actually wants is Lin Chen. There is really nothing Cuban can do about it. However, although the Mavericks lineup this year is not good, it will be different next year. The current Mavericks are built around Duncan. The team must be built to meet Duncan's various needs!
On the Trail Blazers side, in a corner that no one knows about, they also traded Walter Williams with the Lakers in exchange for the key man, Robert Horry!
At this time, although Horry had performed at critical moments when he was with the Rockets, the sample size was still too small. Tevol Williams' performance was better than Horry's in terms of data and on-court performance. A class apart!
So Jerry West also agreed to this deal. After all, it was impossible for him to open his eyes and see Robert Horry save the team at critical moments several times in the future. There were only samples from the Rockets period, which was really not convincing enough!
Tevor Williams is an excellent swingman who has averaged about 12 points per game for 8 consecutive seasons. Horry's highest season was only 12 points per game! The two don't look like players of the same level at all!
Everyone said that the Blazers' trade this time was so bad that they didn't even know their mother, but they never thought that Tevor Williams' data was produced on a bad team, and what about Robert Horry? He has been playing with Olajuwon since his rookie season!
In the two years when Houston won the championship, he didn't pull away at all!
In fact, Horry was a very important member even for the 2005 Spurs and 2007 Spurs!
Of course, I was responsible for scoring and defense in 2005, and I was responsible for killing Nash in 2007! Of course, this is a joke. In fact, the Spurs were trailing by three points at the time. Finley tried to intercept Nash for a foul, but failed. Horry had no choice but to step in. As a result, a war broke out between the two sides. It was a pity for the Suns that year.!
Since then, the Trail Blazers' lineup has basically taken shape. Now there is only one position left, and that is Lin Chen!
The draft was held in New York as scheduled. With the boos unique to New York, David Stern stood on the stage very calmly and started the 1997 draft. This old guy was used to being booed, so He's been doing this for years.
By the time the hermaphrodite who made the joke came on stage, Lin Chen should have retired by then, and the joke wouldn't disgust him anymore!
As the so-called top pick candidates, Duncan and Lin Chen also came to the small green room at the scene, waiting for Stern to read their names, put on their hats, perform a handshake, and take a group photo.
Of course, everyone already knows that the number one pick is definitely Duncan, and the second pick is definitely Lin Chen.
However, this made Van Horn, who is also a rookie this year, really unhappy. In the words of Aunt Baiyun,"If you don't do this, you have been promoting me for half a year! Now this is happening! How can I grow old?" Li Tou said, I accepted all the gifts!"
But in fact, the Celtics have no intention of training Van Horn at all. The Celtics' goal has always been Duncan, but Cuban and Nelson are not fools. , it is impossible to let Duncan go and not choose someone else. Of course, even if they don't choose Duncan, Cuban and Nelson will still choose Lin Chen. You Van Horn? Which dish are you from?
Of course, this is just a metaphor. No matter how jealous Van Horn is of Lin Chen and Duncan, Lin Chen and Duncan will ignore him. After all, Lin Chen and Duncan do not regard Van Horn as a competitor at all. Of course, Duncan and Lin Chen Not caring doesn't mean that Sakuragi Hanamichi, their good brother, doesn't care either.
You can invite family and friends to the Little Green House.
Duncan's mother passed away early and there are many brothers and sisters in the family.
Duncan couldn't let them come together, so he asked Sakuragi Hanamichi to guest star as his family, and Lin On Chen's side, he brought Akagi Haruko with him.
Originally, he wanted Ayako to come, but time was too late.
Ayako also had an exam, and there was no time, so he had to let Akagi Haruko come.
Lin's father and Lin's mother didn't come either.
The two of them went on a trip, so it was really an accident for Lin Chen!
Sakuragi Hanamichi also glared at Van Horn, and Van Horn didn't dare to argue with Sakuragi Hanamichi.
After all, Sakuragi Hanamichi, as Duncan and Lin Chen's knife-wielding bodyguard, had many fights with people in the NCAA.
With a record of 12 wins and zero losses, from then on, no team in the entire NCAA dared to compete with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Of course, this kid was also suspended for many games and almost missed the finals.
This is also One of the reasons why Dave Odom did not let Sakuragi Hanamichi participate in the draft was that he actually had a fight this year and did not fully demonstrate his talent.
He was only at the end of the first round in the draft rankings.
So Dave Odom didn't let Hanamichi Sakuragi enter the draft.
Well, most NBA teams think that this kid is a good fighter. Even if he can't practice, being a fighter is still a very good choice!
In particular, this is a strong player who has been tested in actual combat. A 100% winning rate of 12 wins and 0 losses shows that he can definitely protect the core of the team!
Of course, this is also because Lin Chen did not take action, otherwise, it would be even more scary. After all, Hanamichi Sakuragi said,"I hit you to prevent Brother Lin Chen from taking action. Once Brother Lin Chen is angered, , your end will be even worse!"
As a result, Lin Chen's legend slowly spread, becoming more mysterious!
Stern didn't mean any ink, and directly announced,"With the first pick, the Dallas Mavericks select Tim Duncan from the NCAA championship team!"
This old boy also played a fake suspense and played a long note. After all, Wake Forest has two candidates this year. However, both Duncan and Lin Chen were expressionless, which made Stern a little bit. It didn't mean anything, so I read the name directly without ink marks.
After hearing his name, Duncan also had a smile on his face. After hugging Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Chen, he also hugged his agent. He went on stage and put on a Mavericks hat to shake hands with Stern and take a photo.

Of course, Lin Chen was also happy that his friend was elected as the top pick. He had no choice but to do it. In 1997, no matter who came, they could not choose anyone else! Duncan's position as the No. 1 pick is too stable! Even if you open your eyes, nothing will change. He is a perfect cornerstone player who will never run away in his life. Who wouldn't want such a player!
As for the second pick, of course there is no suspense.
"With the second pick, the Portland Trail Blazers selected Mr. Mop, Lin Chen, from the NCAA championship team Wake Forest Demon Deacons!"This old boy also deliberately learned Lin Chen's Chinese pronunciation. Although it sounded more like Yao Ming, he was attentive!
Lin Chen also hugged Akagi Haruko, and Akagi Haruko kissed him on the face. He put on the Trail Blazers hat that he had prepared long ago and went on stage to shake hands with Stern. When shaking hands, Stern smiled and said to Lin Chen,"Play hard, young man, I'm optimistic about you!""
Lin Chen didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded. However, with Stern's words, Lin Chen NBA will not say what kind of preferential treatment he will get, at least he will not be discriminated against. Daxia is Stern's globalization strategy. As an important part of the NBA, as the first person from China to come to the NBA to play, Stern certainly gave the green light throughout the process and would also give a certain degree of preferential treatment.
Unlike Yao Ming, who was the top pick in the air, why did Yao Ming He will be discriminated against, not because this guy has never played in the ugly country, but he has privileges and was elected as the number one pick. Lin Chen is fundamentally different from Yao Ming. First of all, although Lin Chen is an international student , but he is a real ncaa champion player, and he is still a mop! If you question his strength, you are simply questioning the entire ncaa!
No player is so stupid! Even if there is, his agent will give you many instructions Let’s make things clear!
Moreover, Lin Chen entered everyone’s field of vision by relying on his strong strength! Whether he defeated Duncan or scored 56 points in the first game, it was his super strength, which is recognized by the ugly people. Something!
This is why Fan Horn is just jealous, not any other emotion! Because he knows that his strength is not as good as Lin Chen! So his words are Aunt Baiyun's words, because Aunt Baiyun also knows, Uncle Black Soil has no moisture!
So this time when people in the audience looked at Lin Chen, not only did they not boo, but they burst into applause. This is respect for an NCAA champion and MOP player! This is respect born of strength!
After Lin Chen stepped down, the Trail Blazers quickly took Lin Chen and Akagi Haruko away. Duncan, who was also surrounded by Nelson and Cuban, was stunned. Good guy, it seemed like someone was there. As if trying to rob Lin Chen, the Pioneers protected Lin Chen like gold! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Paul Allen called again and expressed concern for Lin Chen.
Dunleavy and his coaching team were as familiar as losers. Lin Chen's contract was also very generous. Paul Allen waved his hand and signed Lin Chen according to the salary standard of the No. 1 pick. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Chen was still a rookie, Without the Bird Rights, Paul Allen would have given him a big contract of 10 million a year!
But even if it is not such a contract, it is not a small number contract. A four-year contract with a starting salary of 3 million US dollars, and the first year of the rookie contract The salary is the same as that of Richmond! Rock cried and fainted in the toilet!
3 million in the first year, 3.41 million in the second year, 3.86 million in the third year, and 4.3 million in the fourth year. The first three years are fully guaranteed contracts. , the fourth year is a team option, that is to say, if Lin Chen plays well, Paul Allen will spend his own money to renew the contract in advance in the fourth year. Of course, the premise of the renewal is bigger and better. Contract!
After Lin Chen asked his agent to read the contract, he found that there was indeed no dominance clause and signed the contract directly.
From today on, he, Lin Chen, is a member of the Trail Blazers!
He will fight for the NBA's highest honor. Fight for the O'Brien Cup!
Happy National Day to everyone!! Beg!.
