Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Although the season is over, the work faced by the management of the league's teams is about to begin.

The most interesting thing in the United States in 1997 was indeed the NBA's lottery. This is definitely not a joke. More than half of the NBA teams are smashed in order to compete for the "No. 1 pick" in the 1997 NBA Draft!

There is nothing to say. Tim Duncan, who has been in college for four years, finally participated in the draft this year. This is also the main reason for more than half of the team's failure last year, and even Tim Duncan's influence is too great.

It can be said that since the establishment of the league until now, Tim Duncan alone has this influence to make so many teams crazy. Even Jordan, who participated in the draft in 1984, has not had such a situation. It can be seen that Tim Duncan is in the United States. How high is the attention of.

Of course, James can be regarded as a rookie with such a big influence, but that has to wait until after 2003, and now, it is Tim Duncan's world.

Since Tim Duncan signed up for the draft, all the attention of the United States, including the other three leagues, has been attracted. This is really not a boast. In 1997, the national sports world aimed at one thing, that is Tim. Who will Duncan go to? !

Regarding this, NBA president Sternt is very cautious in this matter. It can be said that the draw conference is not over. No one knows who this "No. 1 pick" belongs to? !

Including the "Cardinal" Auerbach who is crazy about Tim Duncan. It can be said that Auerbach has been brewing the Celtics since Tim Duncan started playing in college, every year, anyway. According to Auerbach’s logic, he doesn’t know when Tim Duncan will participate in the draft, and that does not prevent him from getting Tim Duncan’s ambitions, so the Celtics are really sad, for Auerbach can get Tim Duncan, the team is even bad, even the face of the giants is not even the face of the rich team, last season's bleak results are enough to explain everything.

Therefore, according to the degree of madness of the Celtics to Tim Duncan, if the team can not draw this "No. 1 pick" in this year's draft, then it is strange that Auerbach is not mad.

It can be said that the Celtics paid too much to get Tim Duncan, which is why Bruce knew early on that Tim Duncan was "belonging" but was very worried.

Bruce really didn't know whether Auerbach would resign from all Celtic positions as soon as the result came out.

In fact, it is true. If Auerbach hadn't had enough influence in the Celtics, even if Tim Duncan was a rookie every year, even if Tim Duncan was very powerful, it would not work. I really can’t afford to lose. A giant team must have the temperament of a giant team. Look at what the Celtics are like now. It’s a situation where people are good at being deceived by others. Is it a giant team? !

If I were someone else, I didn't know what it was like to be sprayed by the local fans in Boston. It is estimated that the fans in Boston may even come to the door to do it.

Really, it is definitely not an exaggeration. This is Auerbach. The old man's reputation in the local area is too high and too high. In addition, other people, including the team's owner, dare not play like this.

Just for a Tim Duncan, yes, just for a Tim Duncan!

…

Of course, many other teams want to compete for the "No. 1 pick", and the two teams most concerned about are the Spurs and Magic.

The Spurs won’t say anything about it. Popovich’s previous life was so "the No. 1 pick" or how he was brewing to lose. These are available on the Internet. It can be said that Popovich didn’t want it since the beginning of the regular season last year The battle for Tim Duncan, but just because David Robinson was injured, Popovich simply broke the jar.

At that time, Popovich didn't expect to win the "big prize", right? His mind at the time was absolutely in case he was going to win it, absolutely!

The Magic has already experienced a decline last season. It can be said that since O'Neal brought the "talent" to Los Angeles, the Magic's inside line has no longer been able to support it. It refers to the "Penny" Anfani Hardaway. It must be unrealistic, so the Magic management also targeted Tim Duncan.

As a matter of fact, the management of the Magic has nothing wrong with this goal. Didn't they just leave a "shark", if they can get a "stone Buddha" back, it will definitely make a profit.

O'Neal's bad temper is definitely a headache for Magic's management. If you can get Tim Duncan with a good temper, it will definitely not be a loss.

So the results of the Magic last season can be seen, this is another team that has a fascination with Tim Duncan.

As for the other teams, let’s not say much. They are all eyeing the "No. 1 pick" in 1997. Even if they win this "No. 1 pick" as a deal, it is not that no one is there. After all, this The value of a "No. 1 pick" is too high. A Tim Duncan can change a lot of first-round picks, and a fool would choose not to trade.

To explain here, in fact, once college students who play in the NCAA participate in the draft and enter the NBA, many people are not used to this league, so there will be so many parallel rookies later. In fact, they are definitely star-level in college. Once in the NBA, but lost themselves, this is also a frequent occurrence. This is why many teams came for this "No. 1 pick" rather than for Tim Duncan himself, because they also don't know what Tim Duncan will be like after entering the NBA, so use this It is normal for a "No. 1 pick" to seek deals with teams that want Tim Duncan.

You must know that in the 1993 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic used the first pick in their hands to complete the largest draft-day deal: Chris Weber of the University of Michigan was recognized as the number one pick at the time, but he has already The Magic, which owns O'Neal, are more interested in the guard "Penny" Anfini Hardaway from Memphis. Therefore, after the Magic selected Webber, they immediately made a deal with the Warriors who selected Hardaway.

Magic got three first-round draft picks from the Warriors for this, not only getting the rookies they wanted, but also making a lot of benefits.

In this life, the team that robbed the Warriors has become a Han, and even the Han can get three first-round draft picks from the Warriors. Why doesn't this allow other teams to follow suit!

Although it is a young draft year, the attention of this draft lottery conference is definitely not low!
