NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 81 The cardinal's victory cigar broke! !
With the Bulls hitting a record 72 wins in the regular season, the NBA regular season is all over.

The bad fight has finally come to an end.

The Boston Celtics, who played for a whole season, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and got their wish and achieved the worst record in history of 14 wins and 68 losses.

In order to win the No. [-] lottery, the Green Army Cardinal went all out, and he didn't even care about the face of the rich.

The Vancouver Grizzlies woke up like a dream in the middle of the game, catching up, but in the end they still fell short.

Relying on strength, he has a record of 15 wins and 67 losses, ranking second to last in the league.

The Philadelphia 76ers exerted their strength late in the season and achieved overtaking in corners. With a record of 18 wins and 64 losses, they rose to third from the bottom.

As for the Toronto Raptors, I regret that I listened to the cardinal's nonsense.

If it weren't for the Celtics per capita Oscar, the Raptors would not be able to get 21 wins and 61 losses.

The fourth-to-last record in the league is far behind the top three, but it is getting farther and farther away from the No. [-] pick.

So close to the champion, yet so far away!

at the same time.

A group of top executives in the NBA, under the call of president David Stern, secretly launched a discussion.

"Members, who do you think this year's No. [-] lottery should go to?"

Perhaps, many fans naively think that the NBA draft lottery is absolutely fair and just.

In fact, it is not, it just looks relatively fair.

The lottery mechanism, which seems to randomly draw table tennis balls, can be artificially disturbed.

However, I encountered the shameless behavior of the Celtics showing bad cards.

Especially in this year's super draft year.

Lin Hong, Iverson, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, etc., each is a rare potential genius.

If the top executives of the NBA league don't come forward to beat it, how can they concoct bad behavior in the future.

"Everyone, feel free to speak up."

After finishing speaking, Stern glanced vaguely at a high-level person not far away.

"Mr. David, I think the Boston Celtics must be ruled out first."

A certain high-level executive immediately understood, and directly criticized: "Arnold's behavior is too bad, he is openly challenging the bottom line of the league!"

Hearing the indignant statement of the senior executive, David Stern nodded calmly.

have to say.

The executive is still very discerning and knows David Stern's intentions.

"As for the Vancouver Grizzlies who just joined the league, I think it can be considered.

Not only is the record up to standard, but they also need a blockbuster superstar to open up the ball market. "

"According to what you said, I think the Toronto Raptors, who have just joined the league, can also consider it!!"

"Toronto and Vancouver are both in the Maple Leaf Country. No matter who we choose, we can all get a big piece of cake in the Maple Leaf Country and the Chinese basketball market!"

"I don't agree, I think it should be steady and steady at present, to stabilize the local market, and it will not be too late to expand overseas markets.

Therefore, it can be given to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Jerry Stackhouse is getting better and better, just in time to be with Lin Yiwai, and may become the new face of the league in the future! ! "

"I disagree!"

"..."

Although the top executives were arguing about the final ownership of the champion lottery, they all made one thing clear:
The No. [-] pick must not be given to the Celtics! !
The cardinal's malicious behavior has already publicly touched the bottom line of the NBA.

So, who is this champion signed to?

After all, whoever wins the No. 90.00 lottery, [-]% of them will choose Lin Hong.

So, is Lin Hong suitable for the Vancouver Grizzlies, the Philadelphia 76ers, or the Toronto Raptors? !
Leaving aside the Celtics.

The Toronto Raptors and the Vancouver Grizzlies are both new teams that joined the NBA in 95, and both are in Maple Leafs.

In order to open up foreign markets, these two teams became the first reserve echelon of the No. [-] pick.

It doesn't seem too much to give a team building cornerstone like Lin Hong.

The Philadelphia 76ers became the second candidate for the No. [-] pick.

Just when the Cardinal was still thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the upcoming No. [-] pick.

Little did he know that David Stern had already sentenced him to death.

February 5th, US time.

New York Hilton.

This day will be remembered as a day in NBA history!
The lottery ceremony for the top fourteen picks in the 1996 draft is about to begin!
Celtics lottery delegation: Cardinal Auerbach and coach ML-Kyle.

"Mr. Auerbach, if you finally draw the No. [-] lottery, who will you choose with this lottery?"

The reporters at the scene immediately found Cardinal Auerbach, who was dressed up.

"The team's favorite candidate is Allen Iverson, followed by Stephon Marbury."

Auerbach faced the camera, his face not red and his heart beating, and he said in a serious nonsense:
"The era of center supremacy is fading away, and look at Shaq, who can't fight back against Michael.

Therefore, we need a super defender as the cornerstone of the team. "

Auerbach's astonishing acting skills comparable to the Oscar statuette made many reporters on the scene secretly dumbfounded, and some people really believed his nonsense.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

Believe it or not, I believe it anyway! !
He can be regarded as living and learning.

But don't look at Auerbach's high spirits at the moment, until the last moment, no one knows who is the final big winner.

Be on time.

The staff of the lottery ceremony walked into the scene pushing the small ball symbolizing the rookie pick.

At this time, there are only 29 teams in the league, and the 13 teams that failed to enter the playoffs have the opportunity to draw lots.

The first to be announced is the 13th pick, the Charlotte Hornets.

"Watfark!"

Hornets general manager Bob Bass said with grief and indignation.

Seeing the camera approaching, he managed to squeeze out a smile.

The team finished 41-41 last season, just outside the gate of the playoffs.

I can't get in, and I can't get a high ranking.

What else do you want from me?
Do I still have to cry for you? !

There is a bird at the 13th pick!
Whoever trades the All-Stars for me, I immediately agree.

The next 7-12 picks are no different from Lin Hong's memory.

Until the sixth pick.

According to the original timeline, the sixth pick should belong to the Boston Celtics.

However, due to the birth of Lin Hong, he incited the small wings of the butterfly, causing the red coach Auerbach to wave his hand, and the Celtics were smashed all the way.

The 6th pick has become the Minnesota Timberwolves who were originally the 5th pick!

The 5th pick belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks who were originally the 4th pick!
The 4th pick, the name of the Toronto Raptors, is impressively listed.

The Raptors' general manager "Smiling Assassin" Thomas attended the lottery this time.

But the smiling assassin couldn't smile at this time,

Especially looking at the cardinal's big ugly mouth that gradually opened, he couldn't wait to step forward and give this bad old man Bangbang a few punches.

The third pick belongs to the Vancouver Grizzlies.

The corners of the general manager of the Vancouver Grizzlies twitched.

The promised support was indeed raised by the stepmother! !
Looking at the cigar held by the red-clothed master, and the teacher's gradually overflowing smile, he didn't know whether to say a few words about MMP.

With the Vancouver Grizzlies out, this also means that the Celtics will compete with the Philadelphia 76ers for the final No. [-] pick.

Auerbach took a deep breath of his victory cigar, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Celtics' second No. [-] pick.

The Celtic revival plan is about to take the most important first step!
"The 1996nd pick in the [-] NBA Draft went to the Boston Celtics!!"

However, the fate-determining number gave Auerbach a blow.

The Celtics fell from heaven to hell! !

With the worst record in team history, they only got the second pick.

The smile on Auerbach's face froze suddenly, and the victory cigar in his hand snapped.

Looking sideways at the team coach ML-Kyle, a flash of light suddenly flashed through his cloudy old eyes:
"Kyle, we failed to get the No. [-] lottery. It seems that we can only start a backup plan."

If the first plan fails, there is a second plan, and if the second plan fails, there is a nirvana!

The founder of the Green Army Dynasty will not easily admit defeat until the last moment!
With Celtics out, Philadelphia 76ers

became the biggest winner.

"I knew it was useful!!"

Cross, the new owner of the 76ers, waved his fists excitedly.

Before leaving, he specially ordered a crystal ball for divination from Ireland, and also found a lucky charm from his father and put it in his personal pocket.

Facts have proved that it is really useful! !

"I love the 76ers, I said I would take this team out of the mud!!"

Cross said with firm eyes.

"Fortunately, this script is not too outrageous!"

Looking at the gloomy cardinal on TV, Lin Hong silently felt sorry for him for two seconds.

In fact, he really didn't want to go to the Celtics! !

but.

Since the picks have basically been disrupted, this means that this year's draft will take a completely different path!
A new script is about to start! !
