MTL - NBA: About Me Being Reincarnated As Yasuo, the Wind Walker-Chapter 86 You fix this one for me
The Lakers were not invited to participate in tonight's lottery ceremony. General manager Jimmy Buss still chose to come just to determine the picks of the teams tonight so that he can trade up.
But something might have gone wrong with the original plan. Zhang Jun has already become a popular player for the No. 1 pick in the United States, and now he is no longer just a fifth pick.
Zhang Jun is at least the top three picks in the draft!
This also means that the Lakers may have to pay more chips to get him.
The top three picks are determined by lottery. After the teams that get the top three picks are determined, the remaining first-round picks will be arranged in reverse order of the records of the remaining 11 teams.
"Hey Steve, are you coming to the lottery yourself?"
"Is this necessary? The Trail Blazers ranks seventh from the bottom in the league. You still want to get the top three picks with that little chance?"
An Guitar, who was born as a player, has the same vicious mouth as he does in the trading field.
Steve Patterson retorted: "Don't be too happy, the Celtics may not be able to get the top three picks."
Angie smiled proudly: "The total probability of being the fourth and fifth picks is only 28%. Which pick do you think I will take?"
After speaking, Angie looked proudly at Billy Knight, the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks beside him.
"Billy, why did you come here like Steve, don't cry at the scene with the No. 9 pick."
Billy Knight snorted softly, turned his head away, and was upset when he saw Angie.
Although the Eagles' record ranks sixth from the bottom in the league, theoretically there is a bad luck to get the No. 9 pick, but the probability is so low, Angie really can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth.
The lottery ceremony begins!
"NBA Executive Vice President Adam Silver and Ernst & Young's Darlington Hobson stepped onto the center stage and the envelope was already on the podium."
"ESPN will broadcast the final order of this draft lottery live. I wish you all the best."
ESPN host Nichols pointed to the stage behind her and said expectantly. Beside her were Fliggy Barkley and Kenny Smith.
The general managers, executives or player representatives of each team in the league focused their attention on the center of the stage at this moment, and Adam Silver methodically took out one of the envelopes and said.
"Thank you Nichols, the NBA 2007 lottery ceremony has officially begun, and the No. 14 pick will belong to the Los Angeles Clippers!"
The Los Angeles Clippers management sent player representative Chris Kaman, and the white center was neither happy nor sad there.
The Clippers' record is the fourteenth from the bottom in the league. They originally wanted to hit the playoffs, but they missed the playoffs by one move. In the end, they were only one game away from making the playoffs.
So it's not a surprise to get this pick.
"The No. 13 pick belongs to the New Orleans Hornets."
"The No. 12 pick belongs to the Philadelphia 76ers."
"The No. 10 pick goes to the Sacramento Kings."
"The No. 9 pick belongs to the Chicago Bulls."
"The No. 8 pick belongs to the Charlotte Bobcats."
"The No. 7 pick belongs to the Minnesota Timberwolves."
Hearing that his family's team was read so early, Timberwolves general manager David Kahn was cursing with a look of melancholy.
The Timberwolves' record ranks fifth from the bottom in the league. With such a good record, it is logically possible to win the top four picks, but who would have thought that they only got the No. 7 pick.
Angie patted David Kahn on the shoulder lightly behind him and said: "Relax, buddy, the draft pick is like a lottery, you never know where you are."
"Think about which player to choose with this No. 7 pick. The Celtics have to move on. We will win the top three picks."
Steve Patterson on the side looked around in a daze. The Trail Blazers, which ranked seventh last in the league, hadn't been named until now. It was really a bit of luck.
Adam Silver continued to take out one of the envelopes and said, "The No. 6 pick belongs to the Milwaukee Bucks."
Hearing this, the general manager of the Bucks was furious in his seat. The Bucks have the fourth-worst record in the league, the No. 6 pick, is there any mistake? !
The general managers of the teams off the field were happily swearing and cursing, and it had already become a mess, while Adam Silver on the field still maintained a calm mood and continued to read.
"The No. 5 pick belongs to the Boston Celtics."
Angie: "..."
"What is he saying???"
"The Celtics are the No. 5 pick?"
"8% probability that this can also hit?"
"Did you make a mistake!!"
Angie stood up furiously, with anger written all over her face.
Billy Knight, the general manager of the Eagles whose name has not been pronounced, patted Angie on the shoulder calmly, and said in the tone that the other party mocked him just now.
"Dude, why did you come to the lottery ceremony? Don't cry at the scene if you get the No. 5 lottery."
Angie's face turned red, and he happened to see Steve Patterson, general manager of the Trail Blazers, whose regular season record had fallen behind to seventh in the league.
"Why haven't the Blazers been read yet?"
Steve Patterson continued to be dazed, and he also wanted to ask what happened, why the Trail Blazers haven't been read~www.novelbuddy.com~ Is it Ernst & Young's Darlington Hobson got the team's record wrong and regarded the Celtics' record as the Trail Blazers?
The Trail Blazers were crazy at the end of the season, but who would have thought that the teams in the league would be so shameless that they could hardly watch the game, causing them to drop to the regular season record with only three games. The seventh-to-last position.
Originally, Steve Patterson didn't even expect to get the top three picks in the draft, but now he is given this one.
This kind of scene happens every year at the lottery ceremony, and Adam Silver is already used to it, but it is indeed rare to see so many general managers from various teams come here like this tonight, and they are still so furious.
After all, it was a hot year for the draft.
The three talented players with the No. 1 pick are also freshman players. The league has not had a No. 1 freshman pick for 12 years.
Such a scene reminded Adam Silver of 1996.
I am afraid that the alliance will cause another bloodbath because of these three boys.
Adam Silver continued to open the remaining envelopes.
"The No. 4 pick goes to the Memphis Grizzlies."
The general manager of the Grizzlies is Jerry West, the man with the NBA's legendary LOGO. The old man is used to seeing big scenes. At this moment, he didn't go into a rage like Angie did in the whole venue, but his chest heaved continuously and he was obviously a little angry.
Don't look at the high pick of the No. 4 pick. If you don't get the top 3 pick, you can't pick one of the three. This is an extremely ordinary draft pick, and it's just the first pick.
But even Jerry West, who is used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help saying softly at this moment, "The Grizzlies have the worst record in the league!"
