Robinson, the '94 No. 1 pick, asked for a price, which led to the NBA's reform of rookie salaries, and now each first-round pick has a value allocated according to the collective bargaining agreement, and the higher the signing, the higher the value, and the final contract amount can vary between 80% and 120% of the required value, but it is generally 120%, and NBA teams are not bad for this money.

In other words, the salary of a first-round rookie is fixed, and the higher the pick, the higher the salary. Li Wei used the Lakers' signing to select Da Yao, and he really hoped that his salary would be high.

Da Yao was chosen, and the No. 29 sign in his hand will be left to the destined person.

With the 27th pick, the Seattle SuperSonics selected Georgia's super-center Vladimir Stepania.

With the 28th pick, the Chicago Bulls selected Oregon State University's talented guard Corey Benjamin.

The last first-round pick, the 29th pick, is the Knicks' turn.

There was no accident, Li Wei exhaled lightly, and saw that the destined person was still sitting in the small green room, so he made a decisive choice!

"With the 29th pick, the New York Knicks selected Rashad Lewis from Arif Elsk Middle School!"

Lewis jumped up from the little green house.

His home is in Houston, and he has always hoped that he could be drafted by the Houston Rockets, but unfortunately the Rockets didn't take him seriously. Now that he's about to fall out of the first round, he's finally heard his name!

"Thank God, thank you Knicks, I was finally chosen!"

After shaking hands with Lewis, David Stern went to the back to rest, and the second-round draft will be presided over by NBA Vice President Russ Granick.

Li Wei also decided to rest.

The Knicks' second-round pick is a bit low, and they definitely can't pick the old cat Mobley. Now that Lewis has arrived, and the second-round pick has been traded to the Lakers, it's up to Dennis Johnson to approach the Lakers.

The Knicks have too many talents, enough firepower, and the old cat's height is a hard injury, so don't do it!

The Lakers feel that it is very profitable to exchange signs with the Knicks, and the Knicks also feel that it is very profitable to exchange with the Lakers.

Most of the talent for next year is concentrated in the top 10 or so, and there are no pearls of Lewis's level at the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round. In addition, the Knicks are really full of talent, and the existing young people can't be cultivated, so it doesn't hurt to trade away next year's first-round pick.

Li Wei knows that there is another All-Star level draft pick this year, and he is Brad Miller.

In his early years, although Miller was very hard defensively, his physical condition was too ordinary. He is not as tall as Nesterovich, nor as heavy as Nesterovich, and even if he fights hard against O'Neill, he may not be better than Nesterovich.

Miller's strength is basketball intelligence, and in his previous life, he transferred to the Kings, and with the help of the Kings' coaching staff and veteran center Divac, he learned to pass the ball with one hand, and his sense of response was exceptionally good.

If Li Wei needs to strengthen the offense and strategy at the center position, he can directly put Nowitzki or Garnett in the center position to play small balls, and Garnett's defense may be better than Miller's, so he doesn't mean much.

In addition, Miller is not one of those super-rookies who will be amazing as soon as he enters the NBA, and if he were that kind of rookie, he would not have been defeated. The Knicks need to give him a lot of playing time before they can slowly develop him.

In his previous life, he was fortunate that the Hornets and Bulls both had center faults, and he got a lot of playing time as a result. But there are too many newcomers that Nix needs to cultivate, and he really can't take care of him.

What's more, the team's 15-man roster for next season is full, and there is no talk of devolution to the Development League in this era, so there can be no more people to keep. Nesterovic can be stocked in Europe and not account for the number of people in the squad, and if Miller is selected, he will be cut immediately, which means that he is not selected, and if he is not cut, he will have to cut a veteran.

The team is about to add three newcomers, and Li Wei is also counting on the veterans to help the newcomers grow, but he is reluctant to cut. Every veteran of the Knicks can be the stone of the town.

At present, the only thing that the team can cut is Li Wei himself. But after Li Wei left the team, the squad was still overnumbered, so Scott Brooks could no longer be contracted, and he could only retire to join the coaching staff.

"That's it, talented people can never be collected, the Knicks don't lack talent, what is missing is a championship culture, as long as you twist everyone into a rope, the team will get stronger and stronger."

After a day in Vancouver, Li Weicai and Xie Siqi returned home.

When he got home, he saw Sylvia coming over with an aggrieved face: "Dad, my kitten hasn't been found yet, I also specially picked a little female cat at that time, and I was going to give each of you one of the kittens in the future, why did you say it ran away?" ”

Li Wei smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say that he stole the kitten!

"Sylvia, if you lose the kitten, you lose it, it's not a big deal, and you don't want to have a cat, right?"

"But little Ivanka is beautiful." Sylvia said.

"Huh? That cat of yours is called Little Ivanka? Li Wei asked.

"yes, don't you think it's similar to Ivanka?"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "I don't think at all." ”

The two chatted casually for a while, and Xie Siqi suddenly ran down from the stairs with an angry look.

"Siqi, what's wrong with you?" Li Wei asked.

Xie Siqi pursed her lips and said, "It's nothing, it's a showdown with my mother." ”

"Showdown with your mother?"

"My mom told me to be careful of you, I said there's nothing to be careful about, we've done everything we can do, it's nothing big."

Li Wei was stunned: "What, how can you talk nonsense!" Oops, it's over, how can I explain it to Cuilan! ”

Xie Siqi said: "What is there to explain, it is that there is something wrong with her own thoughts, and Aunt Margaret never cares about Sylvia." Don't worry, my mom won't blame you, I took the initiative when I said it, you're not a bad person! ”

Li Wei stomped his feet and said, "You kid, it's not like this at all, okay!" ”

After a while, Xia Cuilan walked down from the upstairs crying, wiping her tears and saying, "I really don't have the face to see you, and I don't know what to say, you and Siqi, you, woo." ”

Li Wei could only tell her that this is not the case, you misunderstood. After explaining for a long time, Xia Cuilan didn't believe it at all.

After a while, Xia Cuirong also came, she glanced at Li Wei, and sighed: "Alas, unjust! ”

Li Wei hurriedly pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "You don't believe me either?" ”

Xia Cuirong said: "I know your relationship with Siqi, but she is too young, you can't wait?" ”

Li Wei said: "What, in fact, I, I mainly help her check her body, you know that in her previous life, she had breast cancer and died before graduating from college." ”

Xia Cuirong's eyes widened and said, "That's it?" You've never lied to me, don't make an exception. ”

Li Wei squeaked and said: "Of course, there are some others, but it's not as serious as you think!" ”

"Alas, you can do it yourself!" Xia Cuirong stomped her feet and turned around, "I'll go and accompany my sister for a while." ”

There is such a mess at home, and Li Wei is not in the mood to chat. Back in the saucer, he saw Lovi lying on the beach, with a cat named Little Ivanka by her side.

"Weiwei, did you miss me?"

"Nope."

"No, it's so direct." Li Wei sat down beside her, then looked at the kitten and said, "Sylvia lost the cat and has been looking for it." This child is so persistent, I thought she would forget about it in two days! ”

Luo Wei said: "I still haven't figured out the reason why you and Cui Rong awakened the memories of their previous lives, but if you want to bring someone in without letting her awaken her memory, there is an alternative way." ”

Li Weidao: "What alternatives?" ”

Luo Wei said: "I can take the memory of this cat, so that even if they awaken their memory, what they awaken will be the memory of this cat." ”

Li Weidao: "Is this method reliable? ”

Luo Wei thought for a while and said, "It stands to reason that there should be no problem, you can bring someone in and try it." ”

Li Wei really wanted to bring in one person, and that was Xie Siqi.

In her previous life, she had cancer and died before graduating from college, and she is still at risk of getting sick in this life. It would be much more reassuring to take her into a flying saucer and get a full body check-up.

The key is that she can't awaken the memories of her previous life, once she awakens her memories and discovers the relationship between Li Wei and Xia Cuirong, it will be too embarrassing.
