At the same time.
After Lin Feng led his team to defeat the Tigers of the University of Memphis-the favorite team to win the championship, the major talent selection websites updated their predictions for his pick.
From the bottom of the lottery area, he entered the top ten.
There were even two websites that boldly predicted that Lin Feng would enter the top five.
The scouts who watched the game on the spot called the general managers of their respective teams.
Lin Feng, this crazy genius, had to be evaluated and selected by the team immediately.
"General Manager Kahn, Lin Feng played so well tonight. He scored a crazy 45 points!”
"He led the team to defeat the team of the popular top pick, Ross, and even beat Ross to be the best player of the game!”
"God, this is crazy!"
"If Lin Feng leads the team to win the championship in the next match, he will definitely become the MP!”
"I've seen that the draft picks given to him by the major draft websites have increased significantly. He's already in the top ten or even the top five. He's now attracting the attention and competition of many teams.”
"God, his offensive talent is too outstanding. He reminds me of Kobe, who dominated the NBA!”
"This is the best opportunity for our team to rise again. We can't miss it again!”
"OJ Mayo is very good, but his performance in the NCAA is not as good as Lin's.”
"And OJ Mayo's defense is not as good as Lin Feng's. Haven't we always been looking forward to picking a cornerstone player who is good at offense and defense? And now Lin Feng has appeared!"
Tom, the scout for the Timberwolves, was still unwilling to give up. He called the team's general manager, Kahn, again.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by the middle-aged fat white man on the other end of the phone.
An impatient and angry voice suddenly sounded from the phone."Hey, Tom, have you forgotten the qualities of an excellent scout? Do you still need me to teach you?"
"As the core of the team's long-term construction, we need to examine not the short-term performance of a young player, but the long-term stable performance and talent.”
"Take China's big man, the top pick, Big Yao, for example. The Mosaic team has been observing him for four years. Since 1998, they sent two scouts to China to observe and analyze his game up close.”
"This Lin Feng might have played some good games recently, but he only played five games in the NCAA. Can you guarantee that his level will remain stable?”
"Our team has been paying attention to OJ Mayo since high school. We've been observing him for more than two years. We know his talent and strength in both offense and defense.”
" Even Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love of the UCLA Brown Bears have been under our observation for almost a year. Their talent and strength are more reliable than the Chinese rookie.”
"Don't you know what's going on with Darren Collison? He had suffered consecutive injuries, and he had even been disqualified in advance after entering March Madness.”
"If that Lin Feng is also as vulnerable as Morrison, are you sure you can choose him as the cornerstone? Tom, can you bear this responsibility?”
On the other end of the phone, Tom suddenly fell silent. He was just a small scout.
How could he bear such a responsibility?
Forget it, as long as General Manager Kahn doesn't regret it in the future.
The other NBA teams were also in turmoil.
In a luxurious villa in New York.
Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, was shouting into the phone.
"Listen, Donnie, we have to get that Chinese defender!”
"We once missed Big Yao. We can't miss another genius!”
"Since March Madness, he has helped the UCLA Bruins change their fate. Ever since he became famous, I've been paying attention to Lin Feng, this rookie from China. He's a crazy guy who's no less than Kobe!”
"In the end, I realized that he was a genius. His achievements were definitely not inferior to his compatriots, Dayao!”
"Look at his crazy performance tonight against the top pick, Rose. Oh, God, I swear this is the cornerstone we've been looking for.”
On the other end of the phone, the Knicks 'general manager, Donnie Wash, waited for the boss, Dolan, to finish shouting, then said in a weak voice,""Boss, but he has only played five games, and his style of play is a bit like street ball."
"What's wrong with streetball? I like streetball!" Dolan shouted and interrupted again,""Why is Rock Park in New York? Because this is the holy land of streetball, and the home of the Knicks, the MadisonSquare Garden, is the mecca of basketball! We need to accommodate different basketball styles!”
The Knicks 'general manager, Donnie Wash, knew about this, but he didn't know what his boss's words had to do with whether or not he would choose Lin Feng.
This boss's thinking was always unrestrained, causing the once top-tier team in the league after Ewing's retirement to instantly become a super weak team.
This was not without the interference of the boss, Dolan. A few blind operations had tormented the team into this state.
Now.
After watching the Chinese rookie Lin Feng's five NCAA elimination matches, the boss, Dolan, shouted excitedly that he had to get that rookie.
This gave the Knicks 'general manager, Donnie Wash, a headache. He didn't know how to persuade him.
Although he knew that Lin Feng played very well, it would take a longer time to choose the long-term core of the team. It would be determined through evaluation and analysis.
However, the boss, Dolan, who was thinking quickly, became impulsive and immediately made him carry out the plan.
However, as the general manager of the team, he had to be responsible for the team's long-term, so he had to remind the boss,""Boss, China produces talented big men, but their guards haven't proved themselves in international competitions, let alone in the NBA."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by his boss, Dolan, again."So what if it's a Chinese defender? They couldn't prove it before, but Lin Feng had proven it in the NCAA.”
"Don't say so much. Hurry up and think of a way to get him for me. Lin Feng is the Kobe who has risen again on our team. Uh, he's also Iverson.”
"We were fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference last season? Damn it, why didn't he make himself the last in the Alliance? Was he second to last this season? He didn't know if he could draw the top three picks, and it would be best if it was the top pick!”
"If there was a top scorer, I would have picked Lin Feng immediately!”
Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, saw many superstars in Lin Feng.
His gambling-style approach had turned the Knicks into a mess ever since they entered the 21st century.
Dolan had once become the laughing stock of the NBA and countless fans, but he still did what he wanted.
In fact, in the world before Lin Feng's rebirth, the Knicks had been rotten from the beginning of the 21st century until 2020.
Moreover, when he was reborn, he still did not see any hope of rising again.
However…
Dolan was lucky this time.
If he could finally get Lin Feng, it would definitely give him a big surprise.
It would also allow him to completely turn the tables on the others and feel proud.
Los Angeles.
The general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, Mickey Kupchak, who was over 50 years old, also watched the NCAA semi-finals that was held in advance of the finals tonight.
Not long after the game ended, his phone kept ringing.
The first person to call him was a scout from the Laker team. His evaluation of Lin Feng had once again increased.
Then, it was Jim Buss, the actual controller of the Laker team, and finally Kobe, the star player of the Laker team.
They called for the same purpose, which was to find a way to get Lin Feng through a trade.
The Los Angeles Clippers traded for Gasol from the Grizzlies in February and sent away all of their first round picks.
There was only one 58th pick in the second round, so it was obviously impossible to pick Lin Feng.
However, Kobe hoped to have an outstanding forward partner. He had high hopes for Lin Feng's defense and speed.
Other teams with first-round picks, such as the Grizzlies, Clippers, Kings, Blazers, Warriors, and Mavericks, were adjusting their draft plans.
However…
Lin Feng didn't know that his crazy performance, especially tonight's match with Ross, was the reason why he was so excited.
His outstanding performance in leading the team to the finals had completely stirred up the NBA, causing more than a dozen teams to change their plans one after another.
Tonight's match had exhausted him, and he had used up a lot of energy.
So, after Lin Feng returned to the hotel where the team was staying, he called his parents and a few good friends.
She turned off her phone and slept until she woke up naturally.
The stadium for the finals the day after tomorrow was still the stadium in San Antonio that could accommodate a large audience.
Next was training and tactical coordination.
Head coach Ben Hollander had designed many tactics to deal with Lin Feng.
Especially when it came to breaking the joint defense and double-teaming, as well as the distribution of physical strength and so on.
Two days later.
The highly anticipated NCAA finals were about to begin.
