The Olympic Tower Building at 645 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
NBA league headquarters, president's office.
At this time, David Stern was smoking a cigar while looking at the league team's record, thinking about the call James Dolan had made to him before.
He is also very entangled now, should he give the New York Knicks a chance.
He also knew that the Knicks wanted to choose Lian Dao. In fact, this was not a secret in the league.
Lian Dao will enter the NBA in this draft, and if Lian Dao is selected by the Knicks, it will definitely drive the potential of the New York ball market.
Especially in the past few years, Chinese players have entered the NBA, which has gradually increased the influence of the NBA in China and Asia, and also made the league earn a lot of money during this period. After all, the NBA is a business league.
David Stern finally smoked his last cigar, pressed the cigar firmly in the ashtray, sighed, took out the record of the Knicks, and placed it at the top of the league record.
"Hopefully, the Knicks won't let me down this time."
…
After finishing the Knicks' trial training, Lian Dao went to Memphis, Saramento, Washington and Indiana for trial training one after another.
The workout process is actually pretty much the same as it was with the New York Knicks.
During Lian Dao's trial training, the lottery meeting has also ended.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd there have been some changes in history.
Everything else is fine, but it was not the Clippers who got the No. 1 pick, but the New York Knicks.
The Clippers won the second pick, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the No. 3 pick, the Kings won the fourth pick, and the Grizzlies won the fifth pick.
To be honest, the biggest grievance here is the Kings. With the last record in the league and a 25% chance of being the No. 1 pick, Chris Webber just drew the No. 4 pick. They all put on pain masks.
The Washington Wizards got the sixth pick, the Timberwolves got the seventh pick, the Warriors got the eighth pick, and after that, just like in history, the Raptors got the ninth pick...
And when he learned that the New York Knicks won the No. 1 pick, Donnie Walsh's phone was off the hook.
"Hey, Downey, how about we make a deal?" Grizzlies manager Chris Wallace called Downey Walsh.
"Oh, tell me." Donny Walsh had a playful expression on his face.
"We want the No. 1 lottery in your hand, how about the conditions are up to you?" Chris Wallace also did not expect to only draw the fifth lottery, and no matter what Lian Dao said, it is impossible to fall to the fifth lottery Yes, so he is also ready to cut the flesh.
"Oh!" Donnie Walsh didn't expect Chris Wallace to have such boldness.
Then some lions spoke loudly.
"I want Marc Gasol, and Rudy Gay." Downey also opened his mouth to the Lions, and he wanted the core players of the Grizzlies.
"Oh, fuck, are you wishful thinking? A No. 1 pick for a leading player plus a potential rookie, Downey, please show your sincerity." Chris Wallace laughed angrily when Downey's lion opened his mouth Yes, although Lian Dao's talent is very good, but after all, he has not been tested by the NBA, and whether he can gain a long-term foothold in the NBA is still a question mark.
You must know that the draft itself is probabilistic, not only the lottery, but also the players participating in the selection. Otherwise, there would not be so many parallel imports.
Taking an excellent potential center with an average of 11.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, plus a small forward with an average of 18.9 points per game to exchange for a top pick who has not fulfilled his talents, this is wishful thinking in Chris Wallace's view.
"Hey, Chris, it was you who called me. This is my bottom line. If you think it's impossible, then goodbye!" After finishing speaking, Donnie Walsh hung up the phone.
As soon as he hung up the phone, someone called in again, most of them wanted the No. 1 pick in the hands of the Knicks, just like Chris Wallace.
Donnie Walsh is also a lion. If you want the No. 1 pick, you can trade it for the star of your team.
All the general managers who called were flabbergasted when they heard Donny Walsh's exorbitant asking price.
Of course, the general managers of one or two teams did not explicitly reject Donnie Walsh's request for the ball, but only said that they could discuss it.
And among these two teams is the Golden State Warriors.
The current Lian Dao still doesn't know the impact of him.
Now, he has just finished the Indiana Pacers trial training and is returning to Los Angeles with his younger sister.
The last team left, the Los Angeles Clippers.
Unlike going to other teams for trial training, Lian Dao's trial training in the Los Angeles Clippers was a simple trial training. They did not chase Lian Dao very much. The head coach Mike Dunleavy was not there, but an assistant coach was arranged on the scene.
It can be said that the Clippers did not give a top pick the respect it deserves!
Lian Dao was not surprised by this either.
In fact, from the time when the Los Angeles Clippers sent invitations to Lian Dao for trial training, Lian Dao knew that the Clippers' goal was not him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey are just giving an explanation to the Los Angeles fans, because now the Los Angeles fans set off a wave of "let Sickle stay in Los Angeles". After all, Lian Dao won the NCAA championship for the University of Southern California.
Therefore, Los Angeles fans hope that Lian Dao will stay.
If the Clippers don't even give the top pick to Lian Dao in the trial training, the Clippers will be sprayed to death by Los Angeles fans.
In other words, the Clippers are going through a process, and Lian Dao saw that the Clippers were like this, so Lian Dao chose to go through the process.
It is to silence the fans and the media.
Therefore, this trial training Lian Dao also ended hastily, and he did not participate in some events.
But this also made Lian Dao controversial by the media and fans.
When Lian Dao thought that all the training was over, he did not expect that the head coach of the Warriors, Don Nelson, called Lian Dao. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Don Nelson made a phone call, hoping that Lian Dao could come to the Warriors when he had time, and Lian Dao readily agreed. In fact, he was still a little curious about Old Nelson.
Because many tactics in the league were born out of the hands of the old Nelson, such as bombardment tactics, shark-slashing tactics, ball-handling small forwards, and big players coming to the outside to shoot three-pointers. That must be the old Nelson, from making Manute Ball, who is over 2.3 meters tall, shoot three-pointers, to the space-based power forward Dirk Nowitzki during the Mavericks period, and so on.
Although the old Nelson did not lead the team to win a championship during his coaching period, his greatness is still undeniable. "Master of tactics and innovator" is the best praise for him by fans.
Old Nelson's favorite thing to do is to break the rules, and Lian Dao also admires old Nelson's unrestrained coaching skills that day.
Moreover, the old Nelson is not good at defense. You must know that when the old Nelson first coached the Bucks, he made his debut with a focus on defense. It was only after 1988 and after he came to the Warriors that he set off a running and bombing offense. "Golden State "Track and field team" was what the fans called them affectionately at that time.
Oracle Stadium.
Home of the Warriors.
It is very close to where Lian Dao lives. The villa Lian Dao’s parents bought is located near San Francisco’s Silicon Valley, so Lian Dao is very close to Oracle Arena, only separated by the Bay Bridge.
Moreover, when Lian Dao was driving, he passed by the Warriors' arena.
The current logo of the Warriors is not the later Golden Gate Bridge. It is still a muscular man with a basketball behind him as the background, and the muscular man is holding a billboard: (Warriors). To be honest, this logo is really...down-to-earth!
