The draw ceremony of the 2007 NBA Draft Conference soon ended in New Jersey.

As a result, the Portland Trail Blazers became the biggest winner, and they unexpectedly won the "No. 1 pick".

The Seattle Supersonics won the No. 2 pick and the New York Knicks won the No. 3 pick.

The Grizzlies and Celtics, who had the worst record in the season, only got the fourth and fifth picks.

Although the Grizzlies had the greatest chance to win the No. 1 pick before, the Portlanders were obviously lucky, which was the first time Portland had won the No. 1 pick in the draft since 1978.

Of course, the Knicks and Supersonics are also lucky. Their record is not the top three. It is a bit surprising for them to squeeze into the top three.

Judging from the draft pick, the fourth to tenth teams are the Grizzlies, Celtics, Bucks, Timberwolves, Bobcats and Kings.

Once the draft pick is revealed.

The media began to predict where Oden, Durant and Lin Rui were going.

According to lineup analysis, the Portland Trail Blazers lack center, the Supersonics lack point guard, and the Knicks lack forward line.

The best rankings are Oden, Lin Rui, Durant...

But drafts have always been very complicated and can never be so simple to infer.

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

After participating in the lottery, the smiling assassin Thomas said to reporters: "Now the problem is thrown to Portland. After all, it is difficult to choose one of these three."

This year is a junior year of drafts. Except for these three, they are basically sure to have super giants, the other players look a little worse.

The reporter asked Thomas: "Will you choose KD or Lin Rui after getting the No. 3 pick?"

Thomas said without hesitation: "I will choose Lin, he is the winner of the match between Oden and KD!"

.........

"The Detroit Pistons have a 27th pick, and this pick is a bit low."

Avraro complained to Lin Rui after watching the draft.

Avraro got the only draft guarantee given by the Pistons.

Avraro's draft market is actually not optimistic. He is average in talent. To a large extent, he is considered to be able to win the final championship by holding Lin Rui's thigh. In the knockout stage, although Avraro's performance is stable, he is not that outstanding. At least there is no chance for Lotto.

"The Pistons are not bad either. They are very strong and have many veterans. You can slowly improve when you go there." Lin Rui advised.

"Lin, which team do you expect to be selected?" Avraro asked.

"Of course it's the New York Knicks. There is no New York in that place in Portland." Lin Rui said directly.

Indeed, as long as you are not a fool, you will want to go to New York.

Oden and Durant have the same idea, and the No. 3 draw looks more popular.

For NBA players, big cities are much more attractive than small cities.

Avraro said: "It's a pity that you don't go wherever you say."

Lin Rui said helplessly: "There is no way, all these depend on what the general manager and the boss think."

Indeed, this is the helplessness of the draft. No matter how good the player is, he cannot decide where he goes. If he wants to enter the NBA, he has to follow the rules of the NBA.

After communicating with Avraro, agent Schwartz called Lin Rui.

Schwartz told Lin Rui: "According to your request, I contacted Derek Rose and Kevin Love in advance, and established a good relationship with them. They may promise that after the freshman season, they will prefer to renew our contract with us."

After establishing the brokerage company, Lin Rui has been instructing Schwartz to conduct various advanced contracts.

Lin Rui replied: "Well, keep in touch with them. By the way, I want to play in New York. Do I still need to go to Portland to try out with Seattle?"

"You have to go, but I suggest you do worse in the Portland trials with Seattle," Schwartz said.

Lin Rui smiled and said, "I understand, I understand."

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

After the draft pick ends.

Lin Rui also started trial training, with three teams being trial training.

New York Knicks.

Seattle Supersonics.

Portland Trail Blazers.

This is the team with the top three picks.

The first team to try out was the New York Knicks.

The Knicks were lucky to get the No. 3 pick this year, but they have two All-Star defenders, Marbury and Francis.

Therefore, there are two voices within the Knicks about whether to choose Lin Rui.

The head coach and president's smiling Assassin believes that Lin Rui needs to be chosen. Marbury and Francis are not easy to get along with. Both of them are not suitable as the core of the team building and need to trade them.

Some executives believe that the team should find a way to get Oden or Durant, and their backcourt is already at the All-Star level and there is no need to change it.

The Knicks attach great importance to Lin Rui's trial training, and basically everyone above the vice president level and the coaching team team came.

A total of 20 people were next to Lin Rui to serve this trial.

The trial was scheduled to be held in the Knicks' training hall, and several other newcomers to be selected were specially invited to come and do it.

After a simple physical test, Lin Rui started the 55 match.

The Smiling Assassin recorded it very seriously. Like the boss, he became more and more satisfied with Lin Rui.

Lin Rui is very talented in organization, which is a condition that neither Marbury nor Francis has.

As long as the team system is built around Lin Rui, the Knicks will be able to complete reconstruction soon. It will not be the same as it is now, with no record or down, and the players are big names and their salary is too high.

Lin Rui has excellent organizational skills, and his scoring skills are all top-notch.

What satisfied Isaiah Thomas the most was Lin Rui's defensive ability.

Lin Rui's steals and assisted defense are so excellent, it is almost difficult for him to put his opponent in an excellent dribbling rhythm.

Of course, it is not without its shortcomings.

For example, Lin Rui often takes some ultra-long three-pointers. This ultra-long three-pointer is likely to destroy the team's offensive system if he doesn't make it.

However, overall, Lin Rui met expectations of the third pick.

After the trial, Isaiah Thomas directly said to Lin Rui: "If the first two don't choose you, then you will wear the Knicks jersey."

If Isaiah Thomas thinks that if both he and his boss are willing to choose Lin Rui, other executives will not be any resistance at all.

Lin Rui smiled and said, "The honor is so great. I also like New York. I am more worried that they will choose me."

"I'll try to make sure I have the opportunity to trade upwards, and we need you more than they do," Thomas said.

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

The trial in New York was very smooth, and then when he tried in Seattle, Lin Rui performed as poorly as possible. In the 5v5 match, he threw out 1 of 10 out of 10.

Lin Rui thought he was doing a bad job, but general manager Presti told Lin Rui: "If Portland doesn't choose you, then we will take you off."

Lin Rui hid his helplessness and forced himself to smile: "Thank you! I want to ask, why do you still have confidence in me when I have so many irons?"

Presti smiled and said, "We value performance in the game more. You have proved yourself in the 16 three-pointers in the finals. The shooter will always feel bad, and we have enough patience."

Presti has already started to operate Ray Allen's deal. As soon as Ray Allen leaves, the supersonics begin to rebuild.

The most important thing to rebuild a team is to take action, and Lin Rui can do whatever he wants.

It’s okay for him to wave him for several seasons, as long as he has talent, it’s good to wave him all the waves for you.

Lin Rui sighed in his heart.

Just choose Du Xiaoshuai, why are you staring at me? Alas...
