NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

Even many teams have expressed dissatisfaction with this, thinking that this is another robbery transaction completed by the Lakers after the robbery transaction of Gasol in the past, and some teams believe that the NBA league is also covering up the Lakers.

Among them, the most fierce one was Kuban, the owner of the Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks.

It is also understandable that the Boston Celtics have doubts about this transaction. As two traditional giants, the Lakers have just won the championship from the Celtics.

The Celtics are preparing to make a comeback. Unexpectedly, the Lakers have already made a qualitative leap before the draft begins.

This casts a shadow over the Celtics' ensuing revenge.

As for the reason why the Mavericks owner Cuban said that the league protects the Lakers, first of all, they are in the same division, and nine out of ten they will meet in the playoffs. The stronger the enemy, the weaker it will be.

Secondly, his character is like this, he always likes to make some amazing remarks.

Stern, known for his iron-blooded wrist, naturally would not let go of the rumors and imposed a penalty of $200,000 each on the two teams on the spot.

After people calmed down, some professionals analyzed the transactions of the two teams and believed that they actually got what they wanted.

First of all, the Cleveland Cavaliers James' contract renewal is not clear, and there is no intention to renew the contract so far.

But the Cavaliers' salary status is very unhealthy, and paying the luxury tax for years in a row has triggered the super-luxury tax clause.

In this state, if James is renewed, there is no way to introduce a strong helper.

So facing the Celtics and other giants next, the Cavaliers' chances of winning the championship are actually very slim.

If James is gone, the Cavaliers will have to pay the luxury tax at the same time, which is simply a big deal.

But after Lin Lei was traded out, he not only got three future first-round picks, but also got a middle-level regulation, which is of great help in freeing up salary space.

Combined with sending away an underpaid player, the Cavaliers were exempt from the luxury tax.

In this way, more money can be used to sign James. If he refuses to renew the contract, it can also save the team a lot of capital and be fully prepared for future reconstruction.

As for the Lakers, that's not to mention.

They are traditional giants themselves. As the largest football market in the league, it is a drizzle to eat a rubbish contract. They quickly waived the player's terms of use.

However, acquiring Lin Lei is different, giving the Lakers a new ball-handling and offensive point in addition to Kobe Bryant.

At that time, other teams in the league will also have a headache. Once they continue to double-team Kobe as before, Lin Lei will be fully released here.

The only thing that has some hidden dangers is that the Lakers lost their draft opportunities in the next few years.

You must know that Kobe is 32 years old this year. If Lin Lei doesn't get the results he deserves in the next few years, the Lakers can only rely on buying people or poaching stars from other teams.

However, with the character of the Lakers, apart from Kobe Bryant, they have rarely cultivated their own stars in recent years. As long as they want to, there are countless players in the league who want to join this team.

Even if there is some financial loss, the exposure that can be obtained is unprecedented, and endorsements and other contracts have risen enough to make up for the loss.

Amidst everyone's admiration, the draft finally began. Except for Lin Lei, everything was as everyone had imagined before, and there was not much change in the draft.

The Lakers signed Lin Lei with the No. 1 pick in the first round.

And the original No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving, because of many mistakes in Lin Lei's matchup.

In addition, his somewhat sticky character was also exposed, resulting in a slight drop in the draft, and was still successfully won by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the fourth overall pick.

As for Lin Lei, who threatened to fight before the game, he went home to find his mother, but he was dunked on the spot. Veseli, who had an explosive mentality, simply announced that he would no longer participate in this year's draft.

This choice is also very wise. After all, in the 2000 Olympic Games, the French center who was dunked by Vince Carter originally planned to join the NBA, and was unanimously optimistic.

It was because of this death dunk that he plummeted in the draft, and finally fell out of the blue.

This year's draft is also known as the draft year, and Lin Lei discovered several players with future All-Star potential in the first round.

They were drafted by the Indiana Pacers and then traded to the Spurs for Leonard.

And Jimmy Butler, who was selected by the Bulls at the end of the first round.

Although these people did not perform particularly well in college and did not participate in the lottery game, their potential was confirmed by the system.

Looking at these players, Lin Lei was also a little excited. He knew very well that in the future, these people would be the stars of the league and his own competitors.

A player with a really big heart is not afraid of his opponent being too strong, on the contrary, he is afraid that his opponent is too weak.

Because the stronger the opponent is, the more you can raise your limit.

In the eyes of hundreds of millions of fans around the world, he took over the Lakers jersey from Stern and took a group photo with General Manager Cook.

The number Lin Lei chose to play with the Lakers was No. 18. This number first got the system on the day he was 18 years old and was recognized by the world.

Secondly, Lin Lei hopes that he will always keep his original mentality and be an 18-year-old optimistic boy, so that he can keep his state.

After the group photo was taken, the league president Stern handed the microphone to Lin Lei and asked him to speak.

Lin Lei first glanced at his mother, and the corner of her mother Li Yangqing's mouth was already smiling.

It was the gratification and affirmation for his son, and the memory of his deceased husband: "Look, our son is very successful."

Mom's years of hard work came to the fore like a movie at this moment, and Lin Lei's eyes became wet unconsciously.

He adjusted his mentality a little, and after trying to calm down his emotions as much as possible, he said:

"First of all I want to thank my mom, she has worked hard for this family for so many years.

I have taken on a lot with my thin body. Without her, I would never be where I am today. "

Having said that, the audience also paid high respect to this ordinary mother.

After thanking his mother, Lin Lei finally talked about the team:

"Thank you to the Lakers for picking me with the No. 1 pick in the first round, to play as hard as I can, and to make a promise to Lakers fans.

champion!

We will have our 2nd Triple Crown this year! "*
