Because the crowd was too loud, when Iverson was about to take the stage, his agent Mark Bartstein stopped him and said in a low voice.

Iverson was suddenly a little confused, he was actually traded?

The Philadelphia 76ers don't want me?

Which team did I trade to?

Iverson, who was still in a daze, walked onto the stage and shook hands with Stern cordially, took the 76ers hat he handed over and put it on his head, and then delivered a speech.

"Here I want to thank my mother for going to my mother and my family, who have been by my side..."

After Iverson finished speaking, he returned to the table where his mother Anne was sitting. No matter where he was traded by the Philadelphia 76ers, he just wanted to accompany his mother now.

Until Iverson came down, the media on the scene also looked dumbfounded. Iverson didn't seem to say thank you to the Philadelphia 76ers?

Everyone hurriedly recollected!

Really, didn't mention a word?

Generally, rookies selected by the team will say something good for their new club on stage, vowing to play well for the team or something...

This is for human beings. People with low EQ will report the name of their new owner at this time, except for one case of course.

But Iverson did not mention the name of the Philadelphia 76ers, which is a bit interesting, is it going to be traded?

In the history of the NBA, it is not uncommon for the number one pick to be traded, but only a small number. Most teams cherish the players who have been picked by the number one pick.

If you really want to go back to the case where the No. 1 pick was traded, it must be considered that Chris Webber, the No. 1 pick in the 1993 NBA Draft, was traded to the Golden State Warriors by the Bruce.

Thus achieved the most ruthless "robbing" transaction in the history of the NBA.

It also led to the introduction of the "Bruce Law" regulations.

It's all tears...

Only this time, I didn't know that the team would be "robbed" in such a bad luck.

There are still a lot of teams that want Iverson in the league, but even fewer teams can really come up with the right offer. At least many strong teams will basically not take their own stable lineup.

Not to mention those weak teams, there are no players in the team lineup that can switch to Iverson.

Of course, it's not that such "unlucky ones" have appeared. There are still teams that can come up with an offer. This team is the Seattle Supersonics. Everyone with a discerning eye can see how luxurious the Seattle Supersonics lineup is. Even the benches are former All-Star players, you can also think about that.

And Iverson was originally produced by the University of Washington in Seattle. As the senior of the University of Washington and a famous alumnus, wouldn't Paul Allen want Iverson? Of course he does!

Many fans across the United States believe that only a wealthy team like the Sonics can make a suitable offer.

The Sonics are not the only team that can make an offer. There are also a few traditional strong teams in the league that are interested in Iverson.

Therefore, the people who eat melon are watching the follow-up development with excitement.

And the media reporters are gearing up one by one.

Everyone wants to see who this hapless guy is.

At this time Stern stepped onto the stage again, but this time Uncle Si's face was covered with dark clouds.

"I announce that the Milwaukee Bucks selected Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut with the second overall pick in the first round!"

The trajectory of history has long been instigated by the little butterfly Bruce.

Without the entry of two Canadian teams, Marcus Camby would have become the second place in the rankings, but this life is completely cheap to Ray Allen.

Ray Allen's name was called out second, which shocked many media. You must know that Ray Allen is not the most popular player.

It's a big player like Marcus Camby.

The Milwaukee Bucks will pick Ray Allen, mainly because the team currently lacks shooting guards.

And Ray Allen's data in college is also very good, he was selected to the All-American First Team in the last season, and won the BigEastPlayer of the Year award. The university scored 1922 points, ranking third in the history of the Kang team, and set a record of 115 three-pointers in a single season in the 1995-1996 season.

How dazzling this data is!

I looked jealous.

Based on such conditions, you said that the Milwaukee Bucks did not choose Ray Allen. Could it be the "high school student" who was in the same position behind? Please, the uniforms of the Bucks are not so bold and dare to take "high school". To bet on tomorrow.

The same Ray Allen took the stage to take over the Milwaukee Bucks cap and gave an impassioned speech.

After Ray Allen finished his speech and stepped down, the big deal that the crowd and media reporters waited for a long time finally came.

I saw the screen on stage played the first big deal in today's draft.

"The Seattle SuperSonics used Gary Payton + Billy Owens + Matt Geiger + the No. 44 pick in the second round of 1996 to trade with the Philadelphia 76ers to get Allen Iverson."

To Seattle?

Iverson stood up in shock. It was the defending champion Sonics.

He himself thought about many teams in his mind, and of course he also thought about the Sonics team, but he didn't expect that he would really be stayed in Seattle.

In fact, Iverson also had a separate trial for the Sonics this year, and Bob West, the general manager of the Sonics at the time, also expressed the team's willingness to keep Iverson in Seattle at all costs.

It's just that Iverson only thought it was just a joke. After all, if you want him to stay in Seattle, the Sonics will definitely hurt your bones.

For the Sonics, which has won the championship for three consecutive years, it will certainly not split the team's championship framework for him. After all, everyone wants the fourth and fifth championship trophies.

What Iverson didn't expect was that the Seattle SuperSonics actually took out Gary Payton for the trade.

Gary Payton is no better than others. He has entered the league defense for three consecutive years. He is also an All-Star player. In the league defense, it can be said that Gary Payton is equivalent to the old gangster, but he belongs to Defensive old hooligans at the level, and in terms of position, if the Jazz's Stockton is currently the league's first point guard, then Gary Payton is second in the league in this position.

You must know that Gary Payton is still a meritorious player of the Sonics. He has made great achievements for the team to win the championship for three consecutive years. He is still the captain of the Sonics. At this time, the Sonics dare to take Gary. Payton went to change Iverson, but also because of Paul Allen's great heart and respect in Seattle. If you are in other cities, believe it or not, many fans would dare to give you knives in person.

"I didn't expect a robbery, look at how ruthless the Philadelphia 76ers robbery..."

"Yeah, it stands to reason that Gary Payton can trade Iverson alone. After all, he is a super star and is worth the value of the No. 1 pick, but I didn't expect the Philadelphia 76ers to ask for such a high price..."

"Billy Owens and Matt Geiger came off the bench last season, and they averaged good stats. If they were used to trade with other teams, they would definitely be able to trade good players back, but now they are being traded by Philadelphia 76 People have been robbed..."

The audience at the draft and the audience watching the live broadcast were also surprised at the same time.

How can the Sonics do this for Iverson? !

Even ESPN reporters from NBA special media are shocked now!

What kind of feeling is this!

Many team owners and managements admire Paul Allen’s courage after coming back to their senses. They don’t even dare to trade the team’s star for the top pick. Of course, they don’t dare to do that. I’m afraid. No one dared to do this except Paul Allen, including Bruce.

Even Stern, who was angry at the backstage, was very helpless. Originally, when he saw the documents of the deal, he disagreed. The reason is simple. You Paul Allen has traded his star star, and the new season will pay. How to play, that is the only existence that can prevent Jordan. If the defending champion can't even make the playoffs in the new season, this is not the face of the league. He doesn't believe that the Sonics will fall so fast, but he Now there is no reason to oppose this transaction. After all, people have come out with the bargaining chip that they want to be value, and there is no violation of the rules, so he can only agree to this transaction with hatred.

Judging from this deal, the Sonics are really crazy in order to get Iverson!

However, the Sonics can be regarded as an affirmation of Iverson's efforts to win a valuable NCAA championship for Seattle in recent years at the University of Washington.

Even the fans who are far away in Seattle are in a mixed mood. They let Iverson stay in Seattle, but they don’t want Payton to leave. It can be said that Payton is the symbol of the Sonics at this stage. Dunn’s departure is still unacceptable to many SuperSonics fans. Can’t the team keep Iverson, who was replaced by someone else, in Seattle?

Of course, the result can no longer be changed, so there are still many SuperSonics fans who can only silently wish Payton a happy life in Philadelphia.

They all understand that the NBA is a business league, and basically there is rarely one person in one city.

The fans of the Sonics are immersed in the joy of Iverson staying in Seattle, and they all believe that Iverson will lead the Sonics to continue to sprint to the championship.

But what they never expected is that in the next time of the draft, the four consecutive dreams of the Sonics will be completely shattered.
