This Forward is Not Serious
Vol 2 Chapter 43: "NBAdraft" 2007 Draft
And this scout also said a lot of reasons Lin Ying went to the Lakers:
The Lakers are a big city, and Chinese players like him have great market potential and can get a lot of endorsements;
He heard that Lin Ying and Durant are both training freaks, and it happens that the Lakers also have one, and they are super super training freaks;
The Lakers are very good at cultivating rookies, and rookies with obvious advantages and disadvantages like him are perfect;
Then there is the most important point. The University of Texas is playing the triangle tactics, and the Lakers are also playing the triangle tactics!
If Lin Ying went to the Lakers, it would be a seamless match. There is a chance to get a chance to play at the beginning!
Lin Ying moved slightly after hearing it.
I said before that entering the NBA is like the college entrance examination. After entering the NBA, it is the same as going to college.
Do you think it’s easy to get into college, relieved?
On the contrary, the challenge has just begun.
What you can do in the future, what class you can become, most people are determined during this period.
It’s just that most people are in it without realizing it, and it’s too late by the time they realize it.
The NBA can only be more cruel than that.
Aside from the second-round show, there may not necessarily be a contract. The NBA guarantees 30 first-round shows every year.
Because the number of people on each team is fixed, it means that at least 30 players will be eliminated every year!
So don't think you are a rookie, you have four years to develop slowly.
The reality is that, except for those high-ranking rookies, most rookies even have to fight for the chance to play on their own.
Can't get it? One year later, you have a high probability of being one of the 30 people eliminated!
So these words of the Lakers scouts are still very tempting to Lin Ying.
And after Lin Ying promised to rush into the NBA with Durant this season, she also paid attention to the record of the NBA team.
The current situation, the Lakers will eventually be ranked 7th to 9th in the Western Conference.
That is to say, unless it takes 30 years of team luck to draw the top three picks, there is a high probability that there will be a pick with around 20 picks in the first round and a pick with around 40 picks in the second round.
Now he comes to these teams, including the Spurs who promised him the draft. In the end, if he really picks him, he will only use the second round.
But Crazy Three hasn't ended yet, and the trial hasn't started yet. He has a certain chance to fight for the Lakers in the first round.
The difference between the first round and the second round is still very big.
At the very least, a contract is the difference between a guarantee and a non-guarantee.
What? Lin Ying won the triple-double but couldn't make it to the first round?
wake up!
In history, Draymond Green won three triple-doubles in the NCAA, and twice on the stage of the Mad Three. It was after "Magic" Johnson and "Big O" Oscar Robertson. The third person.
And he was also the first player in the NCAA Division I to get 15+10+3 after Duncan, and was selected to the All-American Team.
Randomly, Green's final draft was only a second-round pick.
You know, those are the 2012 drafts!
At that time, although the small ball hadn't risen yet, the mobility of the inside line had begun to gain popularity.
The first round, especially the first round of the draft year, is very difficult.
Compared with the data, if you show your own characteristics on a higher stage like Di Vincenzo, you have a greater chance of entering the first round.
Of course, compared to Green, Lin Ying's biggest advantage is age.
18 and 22 years old, this is the difference in the eyes of NBA teams.
Otherwise, scouts would not come to him sooner.
Coupled with better physical conditions, he has a greater chance of entering the first round and even the lottery.
So in the end, Lin Ying accepted the Lakers' trial invitation.
Of course, the premise is that he is finally determined to participate in this year's draft.
Winning the championship is a dream, but who knows where the University of Texas can go in the end?
The Lakers scout left with a smile. He is the only person who has made substantial gains today.
After the scout left, Springman asked him about the situation and gave him a suggestion.
"You can register for the election first, and then decide whether or not to withdraw according to the results of the trial."
This suggestion reminds Lin Ying.
There are two important dates related to the NBA and the draft, one is the draft registration day, and the other is the withdrawal deadline.
Draft registration date varies from year to year, but the deadline for withdrawal is usually one week before the start of the draft.
So every year in the NBA, a player chooses to withdraw from the draft due to poor draft prospects or other uncontrollable factors.
And as long as you withdrew before the deadline, it means that you did not participate in the election, and you will still have normal draft qualifications for the coming year.
This is equivalent to trying a wave of water.
What Springman said is a way.
Lin Ying nodded, he had to think about it.
……
The two days before the "Crazy Three" game ended, 64 teams completed their debut.
Then, half of the teams ended their "Crazy Three" journey, which also means that half of the players left the "Crazy Three" stage.
At this time, draft websites such as NBAdraft and DraftExpress successively launched new draft forecasts.
This also attracted a considerable number of fans' attention.
These websites started to make predictions for this year’s draft as early as last year. As time goes by, the list is constantly updated and the credibility is gradually getting higher.
Take the most authoritative "NBAdraft" in the United States as an example. The final draft prediction is probably this:
First overall pick, Grizzlies: Greg Oden
Second overall, Celtics: Kevin Durant
Third overall pick, Bucks: Brandon Wright
Fourth overall, Eagles: Al Horford
Fifth overall pick, Trail Blazers: Mike Conley
Sixth overall pick, Timberwolves: Corey Brewer
Seventh overall, Sonics: Yi Jianlian
Eighth overall, Bobcats: Joakim Noah
Ninth overall pick, Bulls (from Knicks): Spencer Hawes
Tenth overall, Kings: Jeff Green
11th overall pick, Eagles (from Pacers): Gavalis Crittenton
Twelfth overall pick, 76ers: Julian Wright
13th overall pick, Hornets: Al Thornton
14th overall pick, Clippers: Nick Young
……
40th overall pick, Lakers: Lin Ying
……
After the end of the first round of the game, the University of Texas rushed to the next venue, St. Louis that night.
Their 32-to-16 match with North Carolina will be played at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
Edward Jones Dome is the home of the NFL Rams, and its size is the same level as the previous Georgia Dome.
There are not many NFL arenas used in the first round, but this will become the norm after entering the second round.
St. Louis is not far from Atlanta.
It was just after 9pm local time when they arrived.
St. Louis, Missouri, the second largest city after Kansas, is adjacent to a river port city on the middle reaches of the Mississippi River.
The scenery here is very good.
As an inland city, this kind of city built by the river has the coolest climate.
The traffic on the river is convenient and the climate is also very pleasant.
However, the weather in March is not suitable for going out for a drink of northwest wind. Durant and Lin Ying lie down to rest after arriving at the hotel.
Durant grabbed his mobile phone to scan the news for the first time.
And he soon sat up.
It was naturally this newly updated draft list that got him up.
His position has not changed much from before, but he saw Lin Ying on the list for the first time!
"Kage, you said that if you still play so well next game, can we confirm our participation in advance?"
Durant couldn't help but speak.
Originally, their plan was to win the championship and then enter the NBA together.
If he didn't win the championship, then he would accompany Lin Ying to fight for another year.
But now Lin Ying has been invited to try out again, and has made the draft prediction list early.
That's not necessarily an option anymore!
"It's not impossible."
Lin Ying continued.
The NCAA championship is a great honor for players, and it is naturally the best to win the championship.
But you said that in order to win the championship like Hansbrough, they can't play for another year, and they have been playing for four years. They don't have that kind of obsession.
And after Durant said that last time, Lin Ying was actually under a lot of pressure.
Because if he fails to win the championship, Durant accompanies him to play for another year, it is tantamount to him, causing Durant to waste a year in college.
He and Durant have been together for so long to know Durant's character, that is by no means to say.
"No way, no way, we still have to fight for the championship, and we can't let our university regret it."
Durant immediately shook his head and said.
But it can be felt from his words that the "winning" he said at this time is different from the previous "winning".
Before Lin Ying could enter the NBA, but now he is fighting for honor.
To remove a psychological burden, it may not be a bad thing for them.
And the two of them are very tacitly not mentioning the game against North Carolina at this time.
They just want to enjoy the joy after victory today. Let's leave the matter of playing in North Carolina until tomorrow.
"Shadow, do you want to go to Los Angeles?"
Durant then asked.
NBA is a place that basketball players dream of, and they are now close at hand.
"Um."
Lin Ying has no objection.
After talking with the Lakers scout before, he did have a great tendency towards the Lakers in his heart.
And as long as his butterfly wings are not that big, the Lakers will be traded for Gasol next season.
At that time, I was able to win two championships, and even tried hard to help the team complete a wave of three consecutive championships. That was also beautiful.
"I want to go to Boston too."
Durant continued.
In fact, he wants to go to New York and Los Angeles. Who doesn't like the big cities?
But the problem is that the Knicks are not in their hands before the draft this year. The Lakers are likely to be outside the lottery, and neither team can pick him.
In contrast, he may be selected for the team, the Celtics are the best.
The Celtics have a long history, and they know how to win.
As for Pierce’s question, he doesn't think it conflicts.
Maybe his team concept is a bit paranoid, but that also shows his understanding of the sport of basketball.
Basketball is a sport of five people after all. No matter how strong one person is, it is impossible to lead a team to win.
Kobe last season and Jordan before Pippen are all stark examples.
The one-on-five thing can only exist in the spicy chicken novels like "I'm So Accurate."
"I think it's better to go to Memphis."
Lin Ying continued.
Durant was taken aback when he heard it, and then couldn't help laughing.
He feels that although Lin Ying doesn't talk much in normal times, she has a sense of humor in her words sometimes!
Well, there is the potential to become the king of cold jokes.
What, you didn't get it?
According to the current draft forecast, going to Memphis means that Durant squeezed Oden to become the number one pick this year!
But Durant guessed only one meaning.
There is the second and third floor.
On the second level, Lin Ying did not intervene in the NBA lottery, so the Celtics should not be able to draw the top three picks.
As for his influence on Yao Ming, and Yao Ming let the Celtics lose one more game, and then the Celtics were lucky enough to get the No. 1 or No. 2 pick. If it happens, it must be a plot only in the novel. .
The third layer, as a friend, he didn't want Durant to go to the Celtics.
It is not because of his resistance to the Celtics team, but because of the current general manager of the Celtics.
Danny Angie’s history of sending Thomas away, and Pat Riley’s refusal to give Wade a big contract can be tied for the “two coldest-blooded moments in the NBA”.
Maybe "business is just business", as brokers, they need to keep their sanity.
But in contrast, the Lakers are willing to pay for Kobe's retirement contract and make a judgment.
And Lin Ying is not that great, saying that he should take care of the difficulties of those general managers without worrying about the future of his friends.
"Kage, do you say we have a chance to be selected by the same team?"
After laughing, Durant turned to look at Lin Ying and said~www.readwn.com~ They played together in high school, then together in college, and finally if they were still playing together in the NBA.
This experience is comparable to a long-distance run of other people's love for ten years!
Lin Ying originally wanted to say that it was difficult, but after another thought, it seemed wrong.
His identity as a basketball data analyst is still very useful at this time.
This year in history, the Sonics originally only had the 2nd and 35th picks, but they were trading Ray Allen to the Celtics, and they got the 5th and 31st picks.
No. 5 pick him?
This sounds great!
is a bit of a waste of imagination.
If the 31st pick has a chance, it is still very likely.
In history, they traded this lottery to the Rockets, and the Rockets picked off the future "magic bird" Carl Landry.
But now there is a chance to win Durant’s college gold medal partner, can they not use it themselves?
And if you can’t choose this question, it may not necessarily be the problem!
Why? Because it is the supersonic management!
What don’t you know? Say that the Thunder are always familiar with it!
The Sonics is the predecessor of the Thunder. The three major MVPs from the factory, the NBA’s "Huangfu Military Academy", have their own eyes. Are you kidding me?
Who can guarantee that they will not trade in the middle of the first round or even pick Lin Ying in the lottery?
Anyway, cultivating one is cultivating, and cultivating two is also cultivating!
Moreover, Lin Ying and Durant are teammates in high school and university, which directly saves the process of running-in!
So don't tell me, if you think about it this way, he does have a high probability of going to the NBA and going to be teammates with Durant?
True ten-year long-distance running?
