Chapter 56: Shocking big deal, many major reversals, Lin Tianhui is in charge… (Please subscribe!)
“Lin, you are welcome to join the NBA. You are the first Chinese player to join the NBA, but I believe you will never be the last. There will definitely be more Chinese players here in the future. I look forward to your future performance!
David Stern is definitely one of the masters when it comes to making an impact.
Nowadays, the development momentum of the NBA is very strong. In addition to the increasing local audience, overseas markets have also become a key expansion point.
And as the country with the largest population, if the Celestial Dynasty can open up the market from it, then its influence is evident!
At this moment, Lin Tianhui’s joining the NBA is a start. With this bargaining chip, I believe that his future work in the Celestial Dynasty will become more and more smooth!
“Thank you, Mr. President, I also believe that the future NBA will welcome more and more outstanding international players, including but not limited to Chinese players!”
Lin Tianhui’s basketball skills are naturally unremarkable, but his emotional intelligence is also exceptional.
David Stern’s influence on the NBA league is still very large, leaving a good impression on him is absolutely beneficial and harmless!
The next draft, because of the Grizzlies’ unexpected change of mind, became confusing.
The Milwaukee Bucks, with the No. 4 pick, grabbed another excellent insider, Sharif Abdul Rashi!
Abandoned the perimeter player they had been more eager to acquire.
The Timberwolves used their No. 5 pick to sign Ray Allen and gave up Marbury, who was more capable of breaking through.
This choice took everyone by surprise.
After all, judging from the current candidates, Marbury’s upper limit is obviously higher than that of Ray Allen.
But it seems that the Timberwolves are very determined, just want to get Ray Allen.
In this way, the Celtics can introduce Marbury, a top five player in the lottery.
However, what is surprising again is that after the Red Jackets did not get Lin Tianhui, they also gave up winning Stephen Marbury, but chose Anthony Walker on the striker.
In the end, Marbury was taken by the Los Angeles Clippers with the seventh position in the first round.
It’s a mess!
The whole show is a mess!
Because of the unexpected choice of the Grizzlies, the follow-up choices all showed a certain deviation.
The Bucks and Clippers instantly became the biggest winners.
It was the Celtics who had worked hard before, but in the end they could only reluctantly accept Anthony Walker!
Subsequent drafts, however, did not have much deviation.
Except for Lorenzen Wright being selected by the Warriors, everything is developing according to the normal historical process.
It is worth mentioning that Jerry West quickly started the next set of plans after learning that Lin Tianhui was hopeless.
They used their star Nevacs to persuade the Hornets to use the No. 13 pick in the first round to choose Kobe Bryant, who entered the draft as a high school student!
Even before that, the rumored one-on-one event had been completely forgotten by Jerry West at this moment.
Equipping the Sharks with a strong perimeter player is a necessary choice for the rise of the team.
With Lin Tianhui unable to join Los Angeles, young Kobe Bryant is undoubtedly the most ideal choice.
After Kobe stepped down, the news of the deal was completely made public, and the big deal in the draft conference also kicked off at this moment.
“Lin, congratulations on joining Vancouver, although they are a young team, but I believe that you will lead them well!
Marcus Camby immediately congratulated Lin Tianhui.
“Dude, I think you should congratulate you wrong, I don’t think the Grizzlies’ final choice will be me!
Lin Tianhui was somewhat surprised that the Grizzlies could choose themselves.
For some reason, he always had a hunch that this was not his final destination.
As expected, Lin Tianhui’s manager Bill Duffy came over not long after he spoke.
“Lin, I think we’re doomed to pass Vancouver, someone has already communicated to me about your deal! 39
Looking at Bill’s expression, Lin Tianhui knew that this was definitely a big melon.
Now he also wants to know who is the holy grail that can manipulate the Grizzlies to dominate this trade choice that neither Auerbach nor Jerry West can change!
After all 60 rookies were selected, a piece of news that shocked everyone was also made public at this moment.
“God, crazy, crazy, just crazy, a deal involving 6 teams was just concluded, and among them, it actually involved 5 players in the top 15 draft of this year’s NBA, this is too Crazy!”
The media who heard the news exploded in an instant.
It is completely unimaginable what kind of situation this is.
A crazy big deal involving the top 15 players in the league’s draft. This news is really exciting.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the specific deal to be made public.
Everyone wants to know, what kind of transaction is this, and it can involve so much!
Soon, the mastermind behind the transaction finally surfaced.
Surprisingly, he turned out to be the Phoenix Suns!
This transaction involving six teams was completed under the impetus of the Suns.
The details of the transaction were soon made public.
The teams involved in this transaction include the Vancouver Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns!
Vancouver Grizzlies send: Lin Tianhui + Doug Edwards!
Received: Suns 1997 first-round pick + 1998 second-round pick + Mavericks 1998 second-round pick + Sharif Abdul Rahi!
Milwaukee Bucks send: Shareef Abdul Rahi + Mike Peprosky + Sean Lespeight!
Received: Ray Allen + Suns ’99 first-round pick.
Minnesota Timberwolves send: Ray Allen.
Received: Stephen Marbury + Suns ’99 second-round pick!
Los Angeles Clippers send: Stephen Marbury + Malik Healy!
Get: Kevin John News + Suns 2001 first-round pick.
Dallas Mavericks sent: Jason Kidd + Tony Thomas + 1998 second-round pick.
Received: Steve Nash + AC Green + Malik Healy + Michael Finley + Suns ’97 2nd round pick!
Phoenix Suns send: Kevin Johns + AC Green + Michael Finley + No. 15 in ’96 – Steve Nash + 1st-rounder in ’97 + Second-rounder in ’97 + Second-rounder in ’98 +1999 1st round pick + 1999 2nd round pick + 2001 1st round pick!
GET: Lin Tianhui + Jason Kidd + Mike Peprosky + Sean Lespeight + Doug Edwards!
When the full details of the deal were revealed, the entire league was shocked.
The Suns are crazy!
It is entirely based on the team’s present and future, to bet on the growth of Lin Tianhui and Jason Kidd.
To be honest, this is a bit too bold.
You know, the Kevin Johns + AC Green + Michael Finley that they paid for this exchange are all mid-level players in the league.
It’s really a big game to use this kind of completely instant player to acquire rookie players who are not sure of the future!
Moreover, from the systematic analysis of each team, it seems that the Suns are also the one that suffers the most.
The Grizzlies only paid one Lin Tianhui to get the Suns 1997 first round pick + 98 second round pick + Mavericks 98 second round pick + Sharif Abdul Rahi!
While hoarding a large number of draft picks, he also got Sharif, the inner pillar of his heart.
Coupled with the addition of Doug Edwards, who got rid of the junk contract, it makes their rebuilding road clearer.
This team, which only joined the league in 1995, seems to have adapted to the rhythm of the league and began to create its own legend.
The Bucks who sent Sharif seem to have lost an inside pillar, but after having a top insider like Vin Baker, their demand for insiders is not as great as other teams.
On the contrary, they are more eager to get a stable shooter on the perimeter, so that they can play a better advantage with Vin Baker.
In this year’s draft, Ray Allen is the most stable shooter next to Lin Tianhui, and trading him is definitely the most cost-effective deal.
In addition, they also got rid of the two junk contracts of Mike Peprosky and Sean Lespeight, which added more chips to the team’s follow-up reinforcement.
With this deal, they are definitely one of the biggest winners!
Speaking of which, the Timberwolves played a little bit of cleverness in this draft.
Their ultimate goal is still to get Stephen Marbury.
However, in the draft, they took the lead in choosing Ray Allen, and finally by trading Ray Allen, they not only got Marbury’s ownership again, but also got an extra draft right for no reason.
It only takes a little trick to get one more draft pick. Why not make such a choice?
The Los Angeles Clippers may be the only team that doesn’t know the inside story of the trade.
Their choice of Stephen Marbury is definitely a treasure.
But after the Suns sent out All-Star point guard Kevin John, the Clippers still couldn’t resist the temptation and chose the more powerful Kevin John!
The Mavericks, in fact, is one of the participants in this major transaction.
Even at the beginning, the initiators of this transaction were the Suns and the Mavericks.
However, in order to maximize their own interests, the Mavericks had a better understanding of the true purpose of the Suns.
In the end, they got Michael Finley + Steve Nash + AC Green + Malik Healy + the second round pick of the Suns in 1997 when they only paid one Kidd.
It also laid a solid foundation for the future rise of the Mavericks.
However, the Mavericks are also reluctant to do so. If it wasn’t for the conflict between Kidd and the rest of the Mavericks, the probability of this deal would not be very high either.
After such an analysis, the Suns are still the one that loses the most.
Sending out the team’s immediate combat power indicates that the Suns can only pin their hopes on Kidd and Lin Tianhui who were traded.
The overdrafted draft pick means that Sun City will not have any new force in the next few years.
If Lin Tianhui can’t reach the expected height, this will be the worst trade in history, no one!
What’s more, it remains to be seen whether Suns top star Charles Barkley will go or stay.
It is a bit too risky to manipulate such a transaction at such a high price!
“I didn’t expect the Suns to play so big”~!”
Auerbach couldn’t help sighing after learning all the details of the deal.
He really appreciates Lin Tianhui and is even willing to give up something for him.
But really want to say that in order to get him alone, and bet the future of the entire green shirt army, to be honest, he is not willing to do so!
It may be that he is really old, or it may be that Lin Tianhui did not meet his highest expectations, this time, he really did not have the energy to gamble…
“This is a smart choice, the Suns are afraid to rise!
Jerry West, after leading the Bryant trade, also commented on the Suns’ trade.
This is obviously an extremely bold trade choice, but from his point of view, it is indeed worth a shot.
Unfortunately, in order to balance the current strength of the Lakers, he does not have all the confidence of ALLIN.
As Auerbach thought, Lin Tianhui is really strong, but he doesn’t seem to give up everything for him.
The background of the Chinese players still caused some contradictions in their hearts.
In the absence of any reference conditions, the risk of doing so is simply too great!
Their first fame, they don’t want to be buried at this time!
“It’s a pity, the Suns are indeed more ruthless than me!”
Popovich shook his head helplessly after learning of such a deal.
To be honest, for Lin Tianhui, his needs are also extremely urgent.
Even he is ready to give up everything!
Except for next year’s first-round pick, he is willing to give up everything to fight for Lin Tianhui.
That includes Admiral David Robinson, the rumored team not for sale!
It’s a pity that because he was reluctant to bear Duncan, the Grizzlies finally decided to complete the transaction with the Suns, and he could only regretfully lose this transaction battle!
Sure enough, you can’t have both!
In his expectation, the combination of Lin Tianhui + Duncan will be the absolute core of the Spurs for more than ten years in the future.
As long as Lin Tianhui can be dealt with this year, and then Duncan is in place next year, the dynasty will definitely be around the corner.
It’s a pity that the teams with first-round picks are all ambitious, and they are also very coveted for Duncan.
After confirming that there is no way to do both at the same time, Popovich still believes in his first feeling, strives for Duncan and gives up Lin Tianhui!
Although he didn’t know whether it was right or not to do so, it was indeed the only choice that could be made at the moment!
“`. The future alliance, I’m afraid it will change!”
Pat Riley looked at Lin Tianhui reluctantly, and then lowered his head helplessly.
When other teams began to blatantly reveal their ideas, Riley was still cautiously doing his own fight.
He thought he had a glimmer of hope to complete the Jedi comeback, but at the moment when the 76ers chose Allen Iverson, he knew that his wishful thinking had come to nothing.
This year’s draft is destined not to have much to do with him, the Heat are just a spectator after all!
And after the deal was reached, the media also began to talk about it.
Experts from ESPN made a corresponding analysis of the transaction.
“It was a crazy trade, the Suns were a little too risky, and I think they’ll regret their decision today!”
“Yes, the Suns took it for granted. They gave away too many ready-to-play players and overdrafted draft picks for the next few years, which would be extremely unfavorable for them to re-sign Barkley. You know what Barkley wants now. It is the champion, the current sun seems to have no future, or, in a short time, the sun cannot give Barkley what he wants!
“I agree with this statement, I think Barkley will leave Sun City, Houston people have a great interest in him, plus the Rockets’ past two-peat history, I believe Barkley has made a choice!”
“Even if Barkley doesn’t go, I don’t think the Suns’ current roster has any competitiveness. They are too stupid. Basketball is a five-man sport. They have paid too much for this trade. It’s hard to imagine. , What will the sun in the new season look like?”5
ESPN’s experts, the idea is surprisingly consistent.
They all think that the Suns’ deal is not worth it.
In fact, the results of the Suns this year are not bad. If they can make some reinforcements, they will be one of the strong teams next year.
But now such a transaction is equivalent to the whole team being disbanded, and everything must be re-established.
I believe everyone is well aware of the risks involved!
However, not all experts maintain this attitude.
T, NT experts, gave a different view.
“The trade from the Suns is crazy, but I think it’s a worthwhile choice. Lin’s performance is obvious to all, and his physical test is even more historic. As long as he can fulfill his talent, he will be the next Michael Jordan!
“That’s right, and one more thing, we can’t ignore Jason Kidd, as the best rookie in 1994, he has already established himself in the league, and he is completely adapted to the rhythm, and he will surely usher in a new one. Rising, I believe that with his control, the Suns’ game will not be ugly!
“If Charles Barkley is also willing to stay behind, then the Suns actually already have the young shape of the Big Three. As long as we build around the three, maybe we will see a brand new Iron Triangle!”
The analysis of several experts has also made the media begin to re-examine the true value of the deal.
However, it is still the same sentence, before the game, everything is just empty talk.
Whether the Suns earn or lose, I’m afraid we can only know after the game!
While everyone was talking, Lin Tianhui and Marcus Camby found a secluded corner and chatted leisurely.
“Lin, I didn’t expect you to go to the Suns in the end. To be honest, this deal really scared me. The price paid by the Suns seems to be a bit big!
“I think they made a very wise choice, I believe that soon, people will know who is the biggest winner in this transaction!
Lin Tianhui said confidently.
And this kind of remarks also made Camby very excited.
If he didn’t understand Lin Tianhui’s character, he really felt that this was bragging.
But after the baptism of the NCAA, he felt that Lin Tianhui would definitely do what he said!
“Actually, I really didn’t expect that the final choice for me would be the Suns. I thought the Celtics and the Lakers would try their best to fight for me. After all, we had a good conversation at the beginning!”
At this moment, Lin Tianhui’s statement that he is not disappointed must be false.
Since the Suns can take him through the operation, then with the ability of Auerbach and Jerry West, they will definitely be able to trade him.
But judging from the current results, they did not choose to do that!
“The sun is also good, but I think the Suns are more suitable for you!”5
Camby looked at Lin Tianhui who was a little disappointed and didn’t know what to say.
But in the end, he decided to tell him what was in his heart.
“The Celtics and the Lakers have a very long history, and the past championships are even softer. Even if you go there, you are only the inheritor of the team, not the successor, but the Suns, although I have entered the finals twice before, but both came back badly. If you can win the championship here, you will undoubtedly be a brand new pioneer.
Believe in these two characters, you know better which one you want! 35
Successor or Trailblazer?
Lin Tianhui smiled, this is indeed a good choice!
Rather than standing on the shoulders of giants and looking at the world, he really prefers to be a giant himself!
[The draft in the last chapter is a bit wrong, the fourth is the Bucks, and the fifth is the Timberwolves. The author has changed it, I hope it will not affect everyone, and I hope everyone will support it! 】
