NBA: Talent exploded at the start

Even many teams have expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that this is another robbery transaction completed by the Lakers after trading Gasol that year, and some teams believe that the NBA league is also shielding the Lakers.

Among them, the fiercest is the Celtics and Dallas Mavericks owner Kuban.

The Boston Celtics are also well understood to have doubts about this deal, as two traditional giants, the Lakers just won the championship from the Celtics.

The Celtics are preparing to make a comeback, but they didn’t expect that before the draft began, the Lakers had made a qualitative leap.

This cast a shadow over the Celtics’ ensuing revenge.

As for the reason why the owner of the Mavericks, Cuban said that the league is sheltering the Lakers, first of all, they are in the same division, and nine times out of ten they will meet in the playoffs, and the enemy will be relatively weakened when it is strong.

Secondly, his personality is such that he always likes to make some amazing remarks.

Stern, known for his iron skills, naturally did not let the rumors go, and imposed a penalty of $200,000 per team on the spot.

After the people calmed down, some professionals analyzed the trade between the two teams, believing that they actually took what they needed.

First of all, the extension of James’ contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers is not clear, and there is no intention to renew his contract so far.

But the Cavaliers’ salary profile is very unhealthy, and paying the luxury tax for years in a row has triggered the provisions of the super luxury tax.

In this state, if James renews his contract, there is no way to bring in a strong helper.

So facing giants such as Celtic, the chances of the Cavaliers winning the championship are actually very slim.

If James leaves, the Cavaliers will have to pay a luxury tax while stumbling, which is simply wrong.

After trading Lin Lei, he not only changed to the next three first-round picks, but also obtained a middle-class regulation, which greatly helped free up salary space.

Add to that sending away a high-paid, incompetent, and the Cavaliers exempt the Cavaliers from paying the luxury tax.

So that James can be signed for more money, if he refuses to renew his contract, it can also save the team a lot of capital and prepare for future reconstruction.

As for the Lakers, that goes without saying.

They are traditional giants themselves, and as the league’s biggest ball market, eating a garbage contract is simply drizzle, and they quickly cut the player using the clause.

However, getting Lin Lei is different, allowing the Lakers to have a new ball holding point and offensive point in addition to Kobe.

At that time, other teams in the league will also have a headache, and once they continue to pack Kobe as before, Lin Lei will be fully released here.

The only hidden danger is that the Lakers lost their draft opportunities for a few years.

You must know that Kobe is 32 years old this year, and if Lin Lei can’t play as well as he should 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, in recent years, in addition to Kobe, they have rarely cultivated their own stars, as long as they want, there are countless players in the league who want to join this team.

Even if there is some financial damage, the exposure available is unprecedented, and endorsements and other contracts are rising enough to make up for the losses.

In the midst of everyone’s envy, the draft finally began, except for Lin Lei’s killing, everything was as everyone had previously imagined, and the draft pick had not changed much.

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

And the original champion popular Kyrie Irving because of many mistakes in Lin Lei’s counterpoint.

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

As for the Lin Lei who threatened to fight before the game, he went home to find his mother, but was detained by him on the spot, and his mentality exploded, and he simply announced that he would no longer participate in this year’s draft.

This choice is also very wise, after all, in the 2000 Olympics, the French center who was dunked by Vince Carter was originally intended to join the NBA and was unanimously favored.

It was because of this death dunk that caused his draft pick to plummet all the way, and finally simply fell out of the blue arena.

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

They were drafted by the Indiana Pacers and later traded to Leonard of the Spurs.

and Jimmy Butler, who was drafted by the Bulls at the end of Round 1.

Although these guys didn’t perform particularly well in college and didn’t play in the lottery team, their potential was confirmed by the system.

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

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

Because the stronger your opponent gets, you can raise your limits.

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

Lin Lei’s number chosen to be in the Lakers is number 18, which first he just got the system when he was 18 years old and was recognized by the world.

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

After taking a group photo, Alliance President Stern handed the microphone in his hand to Lin Lei and asked him to give a speech.

Lin Lei first glanced at his mother, and the corners of his mother Li Yangqing’s mouth were already smiling.

It was a gratification and affirmation of his son, and a memory of his late husband: “Look, our son is here. ”

Mom’s years of hard work appeared like a movie at this moment, and Lin Lei’s eyes unconsciously moistened.

He adjusted his mentality a little and calmed his emotions as much as possible before he spoke

“First of all, I want to thank my mom, who has been working hard for this family for so many years.

I have taken on a lot with my thin body, and without her, I would never be where I am today. ”

Speaking of this, 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 selecting me with the first pick in the first round to play as best as I can, and I promise the Lakers fans.

Champion!

We will win our second trifecta this year! ”
