Chapter 7: A Bad Summer (Part I)
"The Timberwolves may regret their choice today someday, but they certainly won't at this moment, and Wood Lynn looks more star-studded in the future than most of them, which is innate, so I think Minnesota made a choice."
Kenny Smith said with a smile.
"I'm more interested in Wood Lim's testimonial, that he says that facts prove a lot of things, like vision, and that's so true, and those who have bash him must remember that this piece of wood says it, Kenny, and I think there's one person who must be angry at the moment."
Charles Barkley glanced at Kenny Smith.
"There's a guy?"
"Yes, Michael must be angry, he's one of the few people to publicly judge Wood Lyngh, and I know what his personality is."
Barkley had a smug expression.
Michael Jordan, who was preparing for the Bobcats, heard his friend Charles Barkley say and couldn't help but scold, "Damn fat pigs." ”
Kevin McHale smiled as he looked at Linson, who was wearing a baseball cap on the stage.
He expects Linson to be Garnett's helper.
Danny Ainge, who was preparing for the Celtics, showed a disappointed look, and he had a glimmer of expectation that the Timberwolves would give up on Linson.
But it didn't, and the Timberwolves still took the rookie Lin Sen that he expected.
"Forget it, that's all we can do, then agree to the Portland deal."
Danny Angie said, rubbing his temples.
The assistant wrote Brandon Roy's name on a piece of paper.
"The Boston Celtics, who came up with the seventh pick, were rumored to have tried to trade Xiangshang for a draft pick before the draft, but they didn't get it." Kenny Smith said.
Barkley on the side nodded: "Yes, that's good, they also fancy that piece of wood, but unfortunately the Timberwolves with the same record as them are ranked ahead of them, so they are seeking a Xiangshang trade, but unfortunately no one wants to, but there are still good rookies among the remaining players." ”
"Like Brandon Roy, like 'Wheat Dy' Rudy Gay, what will the Celtics choose? Let's wait and see. ”
As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, David Stern on the stage read out the Celtics' choice.
"Sure enough, they chose Brandon Roy, and it was a good choice." Barkley said with a smile.
At this time, Lin Sen also walked into the timberwolves' preparation room.
"I don't want to hear all you about in the summer."
Kevin Garnett looked at the rookie Lin Sen in front of him and said.
McHale smiled: "Lin, you need to represent the team in the summer league, this is the beginning of your integration into the NBA, and I want to see you stay in shape until the start of training camp for the new season." ”
"That's fine." Lin Sen said confidently.
"Oh, the Celtics chose a trade." Barkley's voice came out of the TV.
The Portland Trail Blazers sent Stephen Marbury's cousin Trafair, former block king Ratliff and a second-round pick in 2008.
Boston, on the other hand, gave Rookie Brandon Roy, who had just been picked with the 7th pick, as well as former All-Star centers Lafrentz and Dan Decow, as well as some cash.
"It's a big deal, and it seems like it's just a small deal."
Lin Sen stared at the TV, listening to Kenny Smith's laughter.
During tryouts, he participated in tryouts with Brandon Roy at three locations: the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers in Boston.
Brandon Roy is a fantastic guy in terms of his feelings, but unfortunately the two don't have a direct record in the NCAA.
Now Roy is on the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves are also in the Northwest Division.
This means that the two will have at least four hand-to-hand encounters each season.
While Linson was thinking about this, the Houston Rockets drafted Rudy Gay with the eighth pick.
"Oh, Houston has earned it, Rudy's physical fitness is amazing, and he was once considered a candidate for the top pick, but he still has a lot to learn, and being by T-MAC's side is a great learning opportunity for him." Barkley, who once stayed with the Rockets, sighed.
However, the option that was thought to be earned didn't last long, as Rudy Gay switched clubs after the Grizzlies drafted short guard Kyle Lowry with the 24th pick.
The Rockets sent Rudy Gay to the Grizzlies with Swift, who signed last year, in exchange for defensive stalwarts Sean Battier and Kyle Norry.
This trade is far more aggressive than the multiplayer trade between the Celtics and Trail Blazers.
However, this is not Lin Sen's concern, he is more concerned about his future with the Timberwolves.
Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota, USA, located in the southeast of Minnesota, across the banks of the Mississippi River, with an area of 142.5 square kilometers and a population of nearly 380,000, accounting for more than half of Minnesota's population.
Bordered to the east by St. Paul, and St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota, the famous Twin Cities, live here from five continents, but one-third of Asians live below the horizon.
It's not as remote as you think, and it's among the best in the United States in terms of finance and cultural transportation.
When Lin Sen got off the plane, there were a large number of people at the airport pick-up area to welcome him, which made Lin Sen feel warm.
The Star Tribune, a Minneapolis media outlet, used "The Arrival of Wood" as the day's headline.
All Timberwolves fans are looking forward to it, hoping that Linson will bring hope to the Timberwolves' revival.
And the Timberwolves' ticket sales for next season have increased significantly from the moment the draft began.
The Timberwolves offered Linson a two-story apartment in Minneapolis that wasn't too far or too close to the Target Center arena, but Linson was happy with his temporary home.
After the draft, it was time for Summer League, where Linson represented the Timberwolves in the Las Vegas Summer League.
In each of the seven games, Linson started the game, averaging 20.5 points, 8.3 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 4 steals per game, leading the Timberwolves to a 5-2 record in seven summer league games.
Linson was also named to the All-Las Vegas Summer League team.
Slightly worse is that he averaged a whopping 3.4 turnovers and 3.2 fouls per game in seven games, and his shooting percentage was not ideal, and his passing was too fancy and directly led to an increase in turnovers, and his thin body was in a passive position on the defensive end, because he was still active in defense even if he was in a passive position in defense, which directly led to his high foul count.
Linsen's performance fully confirmed what the scouting report said, and many experts directly attacked Linsen.
"A guy who played so badly in the summer league, do you expect him to fit in the more intense regular season?"
This is the voice of many people.
But the person concerned, Lin Sen, didn't care, he felt pretty good.
However, none of this is the point.
The focus was on the summer league period, when Linson clashed violently with veteran Ricky Davis, who was following assistant coach Portman.
