Bishop of the Devil

After three All-Stars hit Yao Ming, Yao Ming's attributes actually didn't improve much. His rebounding attribute increased from the original 86 points to 88 points, which can only be regarded as better than nothing.

However, Richard is not in a hurry right now. He will first give Yao Ming all the props that require luck.

There was also a Yihuajiaomu Pill on hand, and Richard also took it out. First, he used two consecutive Universal Attribute Pills to increase Yao Ming's rebound attribute to 90 points!

Then it consumes some of Yao Ming's three-point attributes, and then adds it to his rebounding attributes.

As a result, Yao Ming's rebounding attribute reached 91 points.

Yao Ming's own rebounding strength is not strong, and his career-high rebounding data is only 10.8.

…

Now that the rebounding attribute has been increased to 91 points, Yao Ming's rebounding strength will definitely improve significantly.

…

The numbers for the No. 1 lottery have already been drawn.

7-2-9-11!

Four numbers may seem ordinary, but they are extremely valuable.

Bob Myers, who was sitting next to Richard, looked excited...

Teams with poor records have hundreds of random number combinations in their hands, and even the Warriors have 250.

In a short period of time, they must not know whether they have this number combination in their number group.

On the contrary, those teams with good records can know the results immediately because they have fewer number combinations.

The Pistons had twenty-eight sets of numbers on hand. Bob Myers had seen the number combinations so many times that he could almost memorize them.

This situation is like trying to win a lottery prize, picking out numbers one by one.

When he saw all four numbers hit, Miles had the urge to jump up and yell wildly.

After all, he is a young man and cannot hide things in his heart...

"Calm down, Bob, you are a mature assistant coach and you should know how to keep emotions and anger hidden." Richard said with a slight smile.

Even if he doesn't remember these 28 number combinations, he knows that the No. 1 pick is definitely his.

Now Miles's excited expression confirmed Richard's idea.

The top pick is signed!

"BOSS, our luck is really invincible. God, God bless us!" Miles's face turned red with excitement.

…

Yao Ming looked on with some fear. Looking at the conversation between Richard and Miles, could it be that the Pistons really got the No. 1 pick?

Originally, Yao Ming thought there was something fishy about the lottery, and that there was some kind of deal between Richard and Stern...

But looking at this lottery process, it seems that there is no way to do anything fishy.

As the lottery ceremony becomes more and more formal, it is now difficult to find any tricks, unless several teams join forces with Stern to do tricks.

For example, a certain team has the number combination of the No. 1 pick in hand, but they do not announce it and sell it to a team that needs the No. 1 pick more under Stern's introduction...

This situation is really not impossible.

Maybe Stern promised some benefits, maybe the other team promised some benefits, anyway, the league is a business, and no one can refuse anything profitable.

For example, this time Yao Ming did not participate in the draft, and Richard got the No. 1 pick. If Stern was involved in this matter, as long as the price was acceptable, the Pistons might not give in.

…

"Coach, is it true?" Yao Ming asked Richard with shock and joy on his face.

Richard nodded, "It's done, congratulations, Dayao, you will be a member of the Pistons from now on!"

…

Under the supervision of Vice President Xiao Hua and accountants, the on-site staff wrote down this number combination.

Next came the drawing of the second pick.

Richard is definitely not interested in the next lottery. They have already got the No. 1 pick. Now he just wants the draft to start, and then get his favorite players to start the new season.

…

Soon the drawing ceremony was over, and then it was time to announce the results.

"I declare that the team receiving the 13th overall pick is the Milwaukee Bucks!" Half an hour later, Stern walked out of the backstage with a hint of shock on his face and announced.

Today, the Bucks' big dog Robinson came to draw lots on behalf of the team. Seeing that he only got the crappiest 13th overall pick, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

My luck is really not that good...

"I declare that the team receiving the 12th overall pick is the Los Angeles Clippers!"

The Clippers also sighed. It was just a twelfth overall pick, and their luck was really not that good.

However, these two teams have the best records in the lottery area. They have drawn such draft picks, which is actually quite acceptable.

After all, they had the highest chance of getting such a pick.

The next 11th and 10th picks were taken by the Wizards and Heat in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat were confused, they only got the 10th pick? !

You must know that their record is worse than that of the Pistons, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Eastern Conference, and the current draw is not as good as the Pistons? !

For a moment, Pat Riley's face turned ugly.

They have a favorite target player in this draft, but in their opinion, this player must be at least the top seven picks in order to get it.

Based on the Heat's record, the chances of getting the seventh pick are actually pretty good.

But now they only have the 10th pick.

…

The next eighth and ninth picks came out hotly again, from the Hawks and Suns respectively.

The Eagles almost cried. With their garbage record, they only got the eighth pick? !

This pick is so deceptive...

When the eighth pick was announced, there was an immediate uproar.

It's not that the team with the eighth or ninth pick was unexpected, but the Pistons never showed up!

You must know that after the Pistons remove the top three picks, it is impossible to draw the four picks 4567.

At present, the picks from the eighth pick onward have been announced, and the Pistons are not among them, so there can only be one situation.

That means the Pistons got the top three picks in this lottery!

For a moment, the entire venue was shocked. What kind of bad luck did the Pistons have to get the top three picks? !

No wonder Bob Myers grinned as if he had picked up five million. I bet they were lucky enough to get the top three draft picks!

What good luck...

Every team is a little jealous right now.

You must know that the Pistons' chances of getting the top three picks are actually quite low, all of which have a chance of less than 4%.

…

Seeing each team casting envious glances at him, Miles smiled even more happily. If they later learned that the Pistons had won the No. 1 pick, their expressions would probably be even more exciting.

Miles has only one feeling for Richard now, and that is magic!

He had heard a lot about Richard's miraculous deeds, but now this miraculous thing happened in front of him, which had a big impact on him.

He was now absolutely convinced that Richard was just as Stevens said, a man who could perform miracles.

…

The next teams with the 4567th pick have already been announced.

The announcement of the top three picks was more ceremonial. It was not read directly by Stern, but the team logo cards of the three lucky teams were placed in envelopes and then announced one by one.

There are currently three teams left, the Rockets, Warriors and Pistons, that have not received draft picks, which means that these three teams have received the top three picks.

From the perspective of each team, this year's lottery is really a bit messy. It is acceptable for the Warriors to get the top three picks, but what the hell are the Pistons and Rockets?

It's not that the Rockets can't accept it. Their chances of getting the top three picks are pretty good, but the Pistons' chances of getting the top three picks are really low, which makes every team feel a little uncomfortable.

For example, the Cavaliers are having a hard time right now...

They had already sold the 2001 draft pick to the Trail Blazers in the Harrington trade.

Right now, with the 2002 draft picks, they are thinking about making a big splash, trying to get the No. 1 pick, and then take advantage of this opportunity to rise directly!

But what almost made the Cavaliers cry was that they only received the fifth overall pick in this lottery.

As the team with the second-worst record in the league, the worst draft pick they can draw is the fifth overall pick.

…

They wanted to cry, what kind of bad luck did this have to encounter this worst situation.

…

Stern had already put his hand into the mailbox of the No. 3 pick and got the envelope of the No. 3 pick.

Whether they are the Rockets or the Warriors, they are all calm and praying secretly in their hearts.

This lottery pick must not be them...

Now they are already guaranteed to be in the top three picks, and they definitely don't want a mere third overall pick.

"I announce that the Houston Rockets have obtained the third overall pick in the first round!"

Stern announced the team with the third pick, and the Rockets sighed...

Although this is not the result they wanted, it is actually acceptable to get a third overall pick based on their record.

I'm relatively lucky...

People can't be too greedy. After the Rockets team representative sighed, a smile appeared on his face again.

The lottery pick had just been announced, and the scene became even more noisy.

Are you kidding me? The piston didn't come out again? Boy, they got the top two picks? !

This is too exaggerated...

Wouldn't the Pistons get the No. 1 pick? Each team thought of a possibility that they couldn't accept.

In the entire scene now, the one with the greatest pressure is probably the Golden State Warriors.

There are only two picks left, the second pick and the top pick.

Although there doesn't seem to be much of a gap, the gap between these two picks is actually quite large in some draft years.

There may be only one superstar prospect in a certain year's draft. For example, in Duncan's draft, the value of the second pick was far less than the number one pick.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Duncan's draft, even if the second pick and the third pick were tied together for the top pick, Popovich would probably not be willing to change.

This shows how big the value gap is.

…

Stern's face looked quite ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

Originally, he felt secretly happy when he saw that Richard entered the lottery area. He thought that when the lottery was over, he would find an opportunity to tease Richard and make him look embarrassed.

Damn it, Richard actually got the No. 1 pick!

Stern didn't want to continue reading, because after the Warriors got the second pick, the only remaining Pistons would definitely be the No. 1 pick.

"I declare...the team that gets the second overall pick is the Golden State Warriors!" Stern announced weakly.

But no one at the scene cared about Stern's abnormality, because they were now focusing all their attention on Richard.

Did the Pistons get the No. 1 pick? !

Is there any reason for this...

No wonder Yao Ming has stayed in Detroit!

wrong? Did Yao Ming know from the beginning that the Pistons would win the No. 1 pick?

If that's the case, then there might be something fishy about it.

But then I thought about it, and it seemed that this possibility was not possible, because the relationship between Richard and Stern was very troubled at the beginning.

Under such circumstances, how could Stern help Richard pull strings to engage in shady affairs?

Looking at Stern's expression when announcing the news, it can be seen that Stern is also quite dissatisfied with the result.

The teams are now starting to curse in their hearts, why is Richard this guy so lucky!

It seems that Richard has always been ridiculously lucky!

"I announce that the Detroit Pistons have the first overall pick in the first round!"

"This year's draft will be held on June 22!"

"The drawing ceremony is officially over..."

According to normal practice, Stern should actually congratulate the Pistons for winning the No. 1 pick, but now he is not in the mood to congratulate...

That was Richard, the Richard who had always been against him.

…

The dust of the lottery ceremony was settled, and Richard breathed a sigh of relief, and now he could laugh freely.

Stand up, grin and wave to the representatives of each team...

The representatives of each team were itching to watch. The extremely precious No. 1 pick was obtained by Richard.

Who knows if Richard will rely on this No. 1 pick to start his path to dominance in the league!

The thought of experiencing the fear of being dominated by Richard again made many teams feel numb.

The pioneers in recent years have always had a dark cloud hanging over their heads.

It's only been a year since Richard left the Trail Blazers, and they haven't caught their breath yet.

As a result, Richard got the No. 1 pick again, and it is very likely that he will rely on this No. 1 pick to lead the Pistons to rise.

…

"Okay, Dayao, you can live in Detroit with peace of mind this time.'

"I just said, trial training or trial training, do it one by one as if you got the No. 1 pick..."

Richard said this second sentence so loudly that he almost made the warrior and knight angry to death.

Among the teams that originally called for Yao Ming to try out, these two teams were called Huan...

As a result, the Warriors only got the second pick, and the Cavaliers were even more unlucky, only getting the fifth pick.
