After the signing of the bus was completed, Lin Yu had nothing to do.

Unseld asked Lin Yu to take advantage of the fact that the draft had not started, and hurriedly invited some rookies who were predicted to be high picks to come to Washington for a tryout, after all, their Wizards had already obtained the No. 7 pick from the Nets, and they already had the capital to choose high-pick rookies.

Lin Yu thought about it for a while, and beckoned his scouts to send trial invitations to the young people who predicted the lotto show.

However, what embarrassed Lin Yu was that there were very few applicants.

At the moment, the outside world doesn't even know that the Wizards made a trade with the Nets for the No. 7 pick, and the Wizards' own first-round pick has been traded.

Without even a first-round pick, no rookie would be willing to waste time on the Wizards, who have limited time and must try out with teams with high draft picks.

Lin Yu was extremely helpless, and wanted to reveal the news of their Wizards holding the No. 7 pick to these rookies, but there was no need for this after thinking about it.

Do you really need to try out these rookies? What kind of strength and potential they are, Lin Yu knows better than themselves.

In this way, Lin Yu had nothing to do, Unseld had already gone on vacation, and no one was staring at Lin Yu's rookie tryout.

He had been busy with the playoffs before, and Lin Yu didn't have time to get tired of Xia Yunshi, but now he has a lot of time to cultivate a relationship with Xia Yunshi.

For more than half a month, the relationship between Lin Yu and Xia Yunshi has progressed extremely quickly, although there is no real confession, the relationship between the two has also acquiesced.

The little hands were also pulled, the mouths were eaten, hugged and hugged, and kneaded, but the last line of defense did not break through.

Lin Yu was not in a hurry, he knew that Xia Yunshi was a chick, and this kind of thing still had to pay attention to a sense of ceremony.

……

The finals have ended, and the Bulls defeated the Jazz with a score of 4:2 and won the championship smoothly, which is no different from the 97 finals in Lin Yu's memory.

Lin Yu watched each of the six finals carefully at least twice, and also found three assistant coaches, Old Joe, Old Bernie and Old Bob, to study together.

The Bulls didn't win that easily, the Jazz caused them a lot of trouble, the Bulls won the first and fourth games and even narrowly won by only two points, and the sixth game of the tiebreaker was only won by four points, if they were not lucky enough, they might really be overturned by the Jazz.

After six games, the Bulls averaged 87.8 points per game, only 0.6 points more than the Jazz's average of 87.2 points per game.

Lin Yu's admiration for Sloan in his heart has reached a higher level, a lineup like the Jazz can force the Bulls to this extent, and Sloan's coaching ability is terrifying.

These six games, if you look at the duel between Zen master Jackson and Sloane, it is obviously Sloan who is superior.

The Zen master may have eaten the sweetness of the East Finals against Lin Yu, and Rodman's effect in defending the No. 4 position was so good that he specially sent Rodman to limit Ma Long in the finals.

Rodman's limit is also really good, limiting Malone's shooting percentage to 44%.

However, Rodman patronized the defense, and the Bulls' rebounds exploded, and he averaged only 7.7 rebounds per game, which was not as many as Pippen.

During the regular season, the Bulls had the best rebounds in the world, averaging six or seven more rebounds per game than their opponents.

However, the total number of rebounds in the finals was not as good as the Jazz, if it weren't for Jordan and Pippen desperately grabbing the board, the Bulls would have been really cold.

Jordan averaged 7.5 rebounds per game in six games, while Pippen averaged 8 rebounds per game.

This round of the finals benefited Lin Yu a lot, and he realized that the blocking tactics still had to be played firmly, which may be the best tactic to take out the Bulls.

In addition, the three-point shot should be paid more attention, the reason why the Jazz were able to bite the score so hard, the three-point shot also contributed to it, and their three-point shooting rate was much higher than that of the Bulls.

……

June 25, Charlotte, North Carolina.

The annual draft is held at the Hornets home arena this year.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Yu wore a haute couture suit and followed Unselde into the draft venue.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Lin Yu, who is young and handsome, entered in this indigo straight suit, which immediately formed a sharp contrast with those bad old men.

"Hey, Wes, we were just saying you weren't coming this year."

When old Nelson saw Unselde, he smiled and walked up to hug and greeted.

"Not coming? Why not come? Unselde asked curiously.

"We thought the Wizards would put Lin in charge of the draft, and really, Lin was definitely the best young man I've ever seen."

"Powerful, bloody, and the key is a good skin, we old guys are like street tramps by him."

Old Nelson did not hesitate to praise Lin Yu, and praised Lin Yu embarrassed.

Lin Yu looked around and found a few unfriendly glances, Pat Riley, Larry Brown, Jeff Van Gundy, all three of them are Eastern coaches, and the seats are very close at the moment, and all three of them cast resentful glances at Lin Yu.

The great man said that his friends did a lot, and the enemy did a little, Lin Yu felt that he had failed the teachings of the great man, and his friends didn't see a few, but there were a lot of enemies.

However, Lin Yu didn't care about this brother, they really didn't have anything to do with themselves.

Unselde is very well-connected and popular, and he has spoken cordially with countless people in the venue, even Larry Brown nods at him, with the only exception being Riley, who is almost mortal enemies with Unseld.

Lin Yu sat in the wizard's seat, bored, he really hadn't known a few familiar peers in the past few months.

After waiting for about half an hour, Stern walked out of the backstage with a copy of the speech.

After a few minutes of rambling on and on for the opening remarks, it was announced that the draft had officially begun.

"I announce that the San Antonio Spurs have selected Tim Duncan from Wake Forest University with the first pick in the first round!"

Stern read out the No. 1 pick on stage.

No one at the scene was surprised, just taking the 1997 draft as an example, even if it was re-selected 10,000 times, the champion could only be Duncan.

"I am announcing that the Philadelphia 76ers selected Keith Van Horn from the University of Utah with the second pick in the first round."

After about five minutes, Stern reappeared backstage and read out the list of candidates.

Lin Yu couldn't help but be happy, the world is really so wonderful, the champion Duncan and Bangyan Keith Van Horn can actually connect with Ma Jian.

Ma Jian is also from the University of Utah, and before Van Horn was not enrolled, he played the starting No. 4 position, and also averaged about 9 points and 3 rebounds per game.

Van Horn can be said to be Ma Jian's junior, but unfortunately this junior doesn't talk about martial arts, and he squeezed out Ma Jian just after joining the team.

Ma Jian looked down on Duncan, but he was not even as good as Van Horn, who was crushed by Duncan......

The next No. 3 pick belongs to Green Kai.

When Duncan was drafted, Cardinal Auerbach actually lost any interest in the draft.

They are also for Duncan, and even Auerbach was plotting against Duncan before the '96 draft.

Duncan's '96 draft pick is not predicted, and Auerbach specifically traded a No. 6 pick just to get Duncan, but unfortunately Duncan didn't participate in the '96 draft.

There is no deviation from Lin Yu's memory, and Green Kai chose the University of Colorado's Flounder Chauncey-Billups.

Flounder is also a nickname given by the Chinese, and Billups's real nickname is Mr. Big Heart and "Silky".

Billups' style of play is actually comparable to that of Kassel, and it is not the same way as speeding at all.

However, Billups' passing and control ability is definitely much stronger than Cassell's, and he is more suitable for blocking and dismantling tactics.

Not to mention that Lin Yu didn't have a probe flower stick in his hand, even if he did, Lin Yu couldn't use it to choose Billups.

It's not that Lin Yu can't look down on Billups's strength, how can the strength be poor when people are serious FMVP.

The reason that really made Lin Yu not choose him was that Billups had a bad rookie season, and was taken by his teammate Fat Head Dowalker to mess around, and then was sued by other people's girls QJ, Green Kai, an old traditional giant team, is not even allowed to engage in a cheerleading team, how can it be possible to tolerate this kind of scandal in the team, and it didn't take long to sell Billups cheaply.

Instead of wasting the flower skewers now, it will definitely be more cost-effective to pick up the leaks in the future.

The Grizzlies then selected Antonio Daniels with the No. 4 pick, and Stu Jackson had a satisfied look on his face, and he was confident in his choice.

As Stern's face for the Grizzlies, Stu Jackson is pretty much a piece of shit, and his draft vision is not as good as that of smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas.

The Grizzlies and Raptors are both newcomers who just entered the league in '95, and the helmsmen of the two teams will certainly compare them.

Thomas Sr. picked the flying squirrel in '95, Camby in '96, and Maddie in '97, all of which hit the jackpot.

And Stu Jackson chose a big hillbilly Levi in 95, Rahim in 96, and Daniels in 97, which is too bad, even if Raheem is not weak, it is actually because there are too many talents in the class of 96, and there is more than half a chance of becoming a talent if you choose any one.

It wasn't until Stu Jackson returned to the top of the league that the Grizzlies' hard days came to an end, and a lot of good players were drafted.

It may be that Lin Yu smiled too brightly and was noticed by Stu Jackson, who nodded at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu also smiled and nodded in greeting.

The Nuggets have the No. 5 pick, and they drafted Tony Barty, the same draft report that made Lin Yu happy before.

When the No. 6 pick was still Green, they drafted Ron Moser.

This Mossell's strength is not bad, but his luck is not very good, he is too crispy, he has been injured, and he can average 20 points per game in his peak season, which is considered a first-line guard swingman.

If it weren't for the injury, he would at least be at the level of the poor Jordan Michael Finley.

From this, it can also be seen that Cardinal Auerbach does have something, the two high-pick picks were not wasted, and the players selected are very strong, but they are just unlucky, Billups QJ, Moser is injured.

It is worth mentioning that Billups was a sister with Moser at the time, and Moser was also accused.

Therefore, you have to be cautious in making friends, and the fat head Towalker is not shallow in harming people.

After the first six picks were selected, when it came to the No. 7 pick of the Nets, Unseld took a deep breath and asked Lin Yu beside him.

"Are you sure you want to pick that high school kid?"

"Are you sure he won't make us the laughing stock of the league? If I don't make it, I'll be on your head. ”

Lin Yu nodded confidently, what are you kidding, holding the halo of "Peak", Maddie is at her peak, why can't she play?

That's not a question of whether you can play it or not, Maddie's first entry into the league will inevitably shock the entire basketball world!

Unseld hurriedly wrote a note and handed it to the Nets general manager not far away, which said Tracy McGrady.

"I am announcing that the New Jersey Nets selected Tracy McGrady from Mount Zion High School in Durham with the seventh pick in the first round!"

As soon as Stern's words fell, Lin Yu immediately noticed that someone was glaring at him.

When I turned my head, it wasn't Rileynago, but the smiling assassin Isaiah Thomas.

Thomas Sr. likes Maddy very much, and the success of the Lakers in selecting Kobe Bryant has made him have high expectations for Maddy.

But when he saw Unseld whispering to Lin Yu, and then handing the note to the Nets, he chuckled in his heart and had a premonition that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the Nets cut Maddy with the seventh pick.

Old Thomas knew Unselde very well, and he knew very well that Unselde did not trust the weak chicken young man at all, and the weak chicken here did not mean weak strength, but thin body.

Maddie was as thin as a hemp pole, and it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he probably didn't look as thick as Unselde's thighs.

So old Thomas was sure that Maddie was cut off, and it must have been Lin Yu's ghost.

After Lin Yu noticed the smiling assassin's unkind gaze, he muttered in his heart, won't he offend people again?

It's also strange to say, it's the eastern bigwigs who are offended......

The joy of Maddie's arrival made Lin Yu too lazy to think so much, and he quietly waited for the second round of the draft.

When he was picked 40th in the second round, Unseld handed the Kings another note, after he traded the 44th pick plus $100,000 to the Kings for the 40th pick in the second round.

This second-round pick was naturally used to select Saint Stephen Jackson.

Although Maddie is in hand, Lin Yu no longer has to worry about the small forward, but Marshburn is gone, and Xavi is about to be traded out for Nash, and the team should always have a substitute No. 3 position, so it is necessary to choose Wusheng.

Besides, a second-round pick can select a player of the level of Martial Saint, what else do you need a bicycle.

Since then, Lin Yu's first draft journey in his coaching career has officially come to an end, and the desired Maddie and Wusheng have already been obtained.

Quality players in '97 are so rare that there's not much room for manoeuvre.

Lin Yu is looking forward to the next 98 draft, which is a real draft year, and the star grade produced may not be as good as the 96 golden generation, but the number is definitely not less than that of 96.

In the next season, Lin Yu will definitely have to stock up on some draft picks to prepare for the next draft year.
