On June 24, the 2010 NBA Draft officially kicked off in Madison Square Garden.

Teams with the same regular season record determine their final order by tossing coins.

After hard work on the Knicks, the Knicks failed to win the top ten picks.

The top ten picks are too precious, and the opponents are asking for a price like Stephen Curry, Marc Gasol, Randolph, Yao Dayu and others.

As for Lin Rui, the other side did not dare to shout...

These are the core lineups of the Knicks. No matter how stupid Isaiah Thomas is, he knows that he can't move.

Now the Knicks are at their peak, and other NBA teams are also guarding against the Knicks.

The Knicks rose through the draft and traded draft picks with the Knicks, and they had to risk the pressure of being criticized by their fans.

Three years ago, the Knicks selected Lin Rui and completed the championship cornerstone. Last year, the Knicks selected Stephen Curry and Danny Green, and the two have quickly become the Knicks' rotation.

In recent years, it is difficult for the Knicks to miss the draft. Giving them a high pick is very likely to be considered as free gifts of assets.

Some NBA general managers would rather read it wrong than see the Knicks get their own draft picks through trades to select talented players. That feeling is too uncomfortable.

Isaiah Thomas didn't get anything, he still used Mirisic to trade with the Wizards to get a 30th pick.

As the second-tier show in 2003, Mirisic still has teams who are very interested in him. After all, there were so many superstars in 2003. This guy is ranked behind James, so many general managers are willing to like it.

Finally, at the draft.

The Knicks defeated Hassan Whiteside with the 30th pick in the first round and Lance Stephenson with the 33rd pick in the second round.

The decision to win Stephenson was made by the Knicks management, after all, Stephenson showed good physical talent.

After Isaiah Thomas communicated with Lin Rui, Lin Rui didn't have much objection. After all, there is really nothing to choose for the second round pick this year.

Most of the remaining ones have never heard of the names.

A name that Lin Rui has never heard of means that he will not survive in NBA.

The elimination rate of NBA is very high every year. Almost every year, a large number of first-round picks or second-round picks are eliminated by NBA for various reasons.

Draft picks, players' own strength, team system, injuries, etc. will all affect a player's growth.

According to convention, Lin Rui called Whiteside and Stephenson as soon as he learned the results of the draft came out.

It is normal to communicate with Whiteside, but the style of communication with Stephenson is a bit funny.

Stephenson answered the phone and shouted: "Farke, Lao Capital has been selected by the Knicks. I want to be a teammate with Lin Rui. Don't bother me tonight, Ouye!!!!"

Stephenson obviously didn't know it was Lin Rui's phone call, so he yelled at the phone a few words first.

"Hi, Lance, I'm Lin Rui." Lin Rui didn't mind Stephenson's rashness.

"Farke, Lin Rui?" Stephenson looked questioning.

Stephenson quickly remembered the sound on Lin Rui’s TV and confirmed that it was not a prank, it was Lin Rui.

Stephenson was excited!!

"Lance, congratulations on your choice,," Lin Rui was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Lin, I am your fan. I like watching you play so much. Can you give me a signature jersey? I have your jersey. I went to the scene to watch the football to find you to sign, but there are too many people..."

Lin Rui basically didn't say much throughout the whole process, and Stephenson kept expressing his admiration as a fan to Lin Rui.

Stephenson did not have the awareness of becoming Lin Rui's teammate at all, but repeatedly emphasized to Lin Rui that he was a loyal fan of Lin Rui and absolutely loyal. His room was covered with posters of Lin Rui. Sometimes he would fall asleep holding Lin Rui's jersey at night.

Lin Rui was silent when he heard these words. He had the urge to immediately let Isaiah Thomas trade this funny thing.

He couldn't communicate with this funny guy, so Lin Rui put the phone aside for ten minutes and picked it up, but he still talked endlessly...

Lin Rui quickly interrupted him and hung up the phone!

With this guy joining, Lin Rui couldn't guarantee how the Knicks' locker room style would become.

.............

After the draft, the free market is opened.

Lin Rui and the Knicks renewed a maximum salary of 90 million yuan for three years. Lin Rui had the right to break out of the contract after the second year ended.

Lin Rui thought about signing a two-year contract with the Knicks at first, but he had the right to break out of the contract the next year.

But after communicating with the agent and Isaiah Thomas, the final signing was one year longer.

It is obvious that this is the trust Lin Rui gives to the team, but this trust is not without bottom line. Lin Rui himself is the biggest weapon. He will not bind the team for the next five years. If one day he has some irreconcilable conflicts with his boss or executive team, the contract term is his confidence.

In the future, too many superstars will take the initiative to apply for transactions, and this thing about human hearts is elusive.

I am still very good to you today, but there are too many things to turn against you tomorrow. The most reliable person is himself, not the capitalist boss who serves.

Of course, Lin Rui and the Knicks still maintain a honeymoon relationship at this stage.

After Lin Rui confirmed his contract renewal, other superstars quickly decided on their own direction.

Yao Yao stayed behind the Knicks for 30 million in two years. If there were no accidents, Yao Yao would retire after the past two years.

Obviously, Yao Yao is also preparing for the London Olympics, and he is preparing to win the Olympics for one more time.

Kobe and the Lakers renewed their contract for 91 million yuan in three years.

Wade announced that he would stay at the Heat, and Chris Bosh announced that he would join the Heat!!!

Little S stayed behind the sun, Joe Johnson stayed behind the eagles.

The three Celtics giants all chose to stay behind. They are preparing to fight for another year, and their head coach has changed from Rivers to young coach Stevens.

On July 8, basically all superstars confirmed their future.

However, James is still not sure!!

James called Lin Rui twice, but Lin Rui didn't answer, and then sent a message saying that he was on vacation!

Lin Rui knew what James was going to do with the phone call.

James is still making his last effort!

James is now eager for the championship, and he is extremely eager to win the championship. In order to abandon his external reputation!!

Lin Rui is not a butterfly now, he is already a giant tree in the NBA. As long as he is willing, he can change James' future direction at any time.

James would not refuse to join forces with him.

But Lin Rui didn't want to do that, it would reduce the Knicks' championship content and reduce his own historical status.

At this stage, Lin Rui is not considering winning the championship. He also has to defeat his powerful opponent to win the championship, which is a bit challenging.

If the first player in the league and the second player in the league join forces, what else can be said about this game?

If James is happy to go to the Heat, he will go to the Heat. He will play the Big Three Heat by himself!

.....

.....

July 9, 9 pm.

James announced on ESPN and his subordinate radio station that he will join the Miami Heat and join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.

After a long period of time, various news.

The little emperor James finally announced his whereabouts.

In one aspect, where James goes, he is more eye-catching than where Lin Rui goes.

The main reason is that everyone knows that Lin Rui cannot leave the Knicks who have won two consecutive championships, and James has a high probability of leaving.

James' decision caused a huge rebound that night.

The first one is from his parent team Cleveland. The Cavaliers boss published a thousand-word long article to denounce James, and the Cavaliers fans burned James' jerseys.

James also responded online, and James said: "The reason I made this choice is because it is the best chance to win now and in the future. Winning is the most important thing for me, and it is the decision of basketball!"

For the Heat, this signing was undoubtedly a major victory. They solved the joint efforts of Wade and Bosh. This time, "returning back" means that the Heat has formed the "super three giants"

In a show the next day, James and Wade appeared in Miami for an interview.

James said: "I dare not say that this joining has always been within my plan. After all, I have never imagined this possibility before, but the Heat did it. They cleared their cap space and had the ability to put us in a team, which is difficult to refuse. Wade and Bosh are both the best players and have a rare opponent in the league."

"The future will definitely be very crazy, we can create everything," Wade said.

Crazy, indeed crazy.

However, compared with the previous life, although fans and the media expressed shock at the joint efforts of the Big Three, they were far less intense than those of the previous life.

The main reason is the Knicks and Lin Rui.

Fans think it was the Knicks' 16-game winning streak in the playoffs in two consecutive seasons that inspired them!

Now that the alliance is under the rule of Lin Rui, the superstars feel very powerless in front of Lin Rui, and they have to join forces to fight against the pressure brought by Lin Rui.

James, Wade, and Bosh are all superstar players in the East. They can best face Lin Rui's strength.

If they are one by one, they are really unable to deal with Lin Rui.

The Eastern Conference teams generally play three to four games with the Knicks in the regular season, and then with the playoffs, they have lost more and won less when they face the Knicks for two consecutive years.
