Chapter 22: Seductive No. 1 lottery (recommendation)

In the just-concluded 92-93 season of the NBA Finals, the Eastern Division champion Chicago Bulls beat the Western Division champion Seattle SuperSonics with a total score of 4:3.

That's right, Chicago completed the triple crown feat, thus establishing a dynasty.

The Seattle Sonics fell short in the last few games.

Bruce went to Seattle to comfort his "godfather" Paul Allen.

The Chicago Bulls will have this dynasty. If you want to build a dynasty next time, it depends on whether Bruce agrees!

...

The 1993 NBA lottery draw was held on May 12 at Madison Garden Arena in New York.

In fact, the last time Bruce founded the team, he did not draw the No. 4 pick himself, because it was the league president Stern who specifically arranged the pick for the new expansion team-the New York Hans through discussions, so Bruce should not go. It doesn't matter to go.

But this year is different. As the owner, Bruce must participate in the first lottery draw, and also make a good start for the team.

Here we are going to draw lots for everyone to popularize the lottery. It's not like everyone is watching TV now, shaking a small ball.

NBA lotto draws are from coin toss to envelope draw, to table tennis draws in the 1990s, and to shakes with professional instruments in previous lives. It can be said that NBA lotto draws have improved their rules more and more.

At least the interference of human factors on the lottery is minimized, and fairness has been guaranteed.

But now, it's not as developed as in the previous life, so table tennis can still be used for tricks.

Of course, it depends on the meaning of the president of the alliance. If you think your young man is good, then you will be awarded the number one lottery.

Really, it’s not a lie. The former Cleveland Cavaliers owner Daniel Gilbert sent his son Nick Gilbert to the horse. The rookie selected by the team greatly wasted the expression of this wonder boy, but it is undeniable that even Stern, the dictator, can't stand it when this boy is out of the game, which shows how powerful it is.

In this year's lottery draw, there were eight from the bottom in the east and the west, and a total of 14 teams participated.

So this year it's Bruce, the 8-year-old bear kid, to play.

As soon as Bruce brought Stu Jackson, the president of the team's operations, to the scene, the whole audience looked at the bear with strange eyes.

It should be said that Bruce has created a new history, the smallest owner in NBA history, and the least responsible person in the lottery draw on behalf of the team.

In the NBA lottery draw, not every team boss will come forward, and some bosses will directly call the management or the head coach to participate.

The old Nelson is one of the representatives, the current head coach of the Golden State Warriors, today also represents the Golden State Warriors to participate.

When Bruce saw Old Nelson sitting in his seat, Bruce froze for a moment, and hurriedly covered his forehead, his expression was really speechless.

Nima was so embarrassed.

Old Nelson didn't know that he got a "bull magnet" and put it on the Golden State Warriors table.

Here's what is called "bull magnet" in popular science.

When the herders raise cattle, grazing is necessary. While the cattle are grazing, they don't know anything about the food in the grass. If dangerous objects such as nails and barbed wire appear, they will eat with the grass.

Therefore, in order to prevent this dangerous situation, the herders will feed the cow a special magnet, which will be stored in the cow’s stomach. When these dangerous objects appear on the grass, they will be attracted to the cow’s stomach. Instead of being eaten.

Why do you want the bull magnet to attract the top lottery?

Don't tease you, you suck, it's not just the No. 1 pick, it's all the signings, just give you all the signings in 1993 to the Warriors, funny!

Although Bruce knows that there will be these very weird "lucky charms" at the lottery draw!

But it's the same thing to see these things.

Too spicy eyes.

Can't stand it.

Bruce quickly returned to his position in disgrace.

...

According to the results of the New York Hans at the end of the regular season in 1992, the top three in this year's lottery will not be able to run.

It depends on whether the No. 1 lottery is drawn. You must know that the No. 1 lottery is very valuable before the dawn of the new century.

Uncle Si finally made his appearance.

As soon as Uncle Si entered the venue, he smiled after seeing Bruce's little kid.

This is the first time the kid has participated in the lottery draw. Would you like to remind this kid?

In fact, Stern wanted to draw the No. 1 lottery to Bruce as early as before, but was rejected by the latter, and Stern would not be boring.

But with Mourning's reimbursement, Stern remembered the idea of ​​signing the top pick to Bruce.

He didn't feel sorry for this little kid, and he didn't like this bear kid.

He did this because he wanted to open the Eastern market earlier. He didn't see the ratings sent by China. It was only the first year of live broadcast of all the games this year, and it has already reached the height that Stern expected. What if next year or the year after...

Bruce, this kid, is related to his own plan for China to promote the NBA. This should not be missed. I will kill him whoever blocks Lao Tzu's plan.

Uncle Si is so domineering.

Bruce looked at Uncle Si's smile a little hairy.

What does this old thing want to do?

...

"I announce that the 1993-1994 season lottery draw has officially started!"

Stern took the microphone and spoke to the team leaders and media reporters who participated in the lottery draw.

Regarding some processes of the lottery conference or the number combination obtained by the team, I won't say much here. Please ask Baidu.

At this time, NBA Vice President Rod Thorne brought the supervisors to the lottery container.

Only 14 ping pong **** are placed in the lottery container, and each ball is marked with 1-14 Arabic numerals.

Bruce was holding this piece of paper with a dazed expression. He really didn't understand the meaning of the number on this piece of paper. Bruce didn't pay attention to this in his previous life!

...

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

In fact, everyone already knows where the top three picks belong at this time.

After all, the person responsible for the team participating in the lottery has a small note, and the combination number on it corresponds to the ball that will be picked from 1-14 in the lottery zone later.

After Stern knew the result, he happily walked to the podium and continued to announce:

"I declare that the team with the No. 14 overall pick is the Orlando Magic!"

"The team with the No. 13 overall pick is the Los Angeles Clippers!"

"The team with the No. 12 overall pick is the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"The team with the No. 11 overall pick is the Detroit Pistons!"

"The team with the No. 10 overall pick is the Miami Heat!" (The Heat has been traded to the Pistons)

"The team with the No. 9 overall pick is the Denver Nuggets!"

"The team with the No. 8 overall pick is the Milwaukee Bucks!"

"The team with the No. 7 overall pick is the Sacramento team!"

"The team with the No. 6 overall pick is the Washington Bullets!"

"The team with the No. 5 overall pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

"The team with the No. 4 overall pick is the Golden State Warriors!"

The "lucky charm" brought by old Nelson still didn't draw the No. 1 lottery, didn't he see old Nelson's face full of sadness!

That's Chris Webber, the No. 1 rookie in the NBA Draft.

The old Nelson was extremely disappointed, and now he is waiting for the No. 1 pick to be announced, when the time comes to trade.

Stern paused for a while and then announced the winners of the lottery.

"I declare that the team with the No. 3 overall pick is the Dallas Mavericks!"

Dallas Mavericks owner Donald Carter also came to participate in the draw this time. After all, it is the worst team in the league, and there is a great chance that the No. 1 pick will fall on the Dallas Mavericks.

But Donald Carter was also disappointed when he heard the results.

Bruce looked at the wonderful expressions of these people and was very surprised. As for, Weber wouldn't pay me any price.

It seems that this year's No. 1 pick seems to be a bit messy, I haven't seen these people so lost!

Then Stern continued to announce the second pick winner.

"I declare that the team with the No. 2 overall pick is the Philadelphia 76ers!"

With Barkley's departure, Philadelphia also continued to support the scene with a super inside player.

Webber is also a player they desperately need.

Haha, seeing this, everyone can basically determine who the final prize of this draw will be!

That's right, the prince Bruce with the attributes of "koi".

Stern glanced at Bruce deliberately before announcing the grand prize.

"I declare that the team with the No. 1 overall pick is the New York Hans! Congratulations to Bruce!"

No one pays attention to Stern's last congratulations now, because they have all focused their attention on Bruce, the little boy.

Did the New York Hans get the top pick?

Is there any reason for this, this is obviously cheating?

Some team managements who are unbalanced in their minds think this way.

But considering the results of the New York Hans this season, the league’s second-to-last, it’s normal to get the No. 1 pick!

How does this make people complain?

...

"I announce that this year's draft will be held on June 30, and the venue will be held at the Palace of Auburn Hills, home of the Detroit Pistons, Michigan."

After speaking, he took the vice president Rod and the supervisors to take the instrument away.

As soon as Stern left, the Bruce was surrounded by the top executives of several teams, all of whom wanted Bruce to be the top pick in the deal.

Now Bruce is confessing, because he guessed that he could get the second pick at most, because Bruce thought he had already said hello to Uncle Si, and now he suddenly gave him the "No. 1 pick", so that Bruce hasn't slowed down yet. .

To be honest, Bruce didn't expect that the big "pie" of the No. 1 pick could hit him on the head, or the kind that could support him.

Haven't seen so many people around him discussing the transaction of the “No. 1 Lottery”. With this precious “No. 1 Lottery”, Bruce's next plan can be implemented.
