Chapter 188 Top 3 Draft Picks



Chapter 188 The Top Three in the Draft

Crazy, all the fans in the stadium are crazy! !
Bruce looked in shock at the surrounding fans who seemed to be about to rush into the stadium, and he was indescribably shocked!
There was a lot of fireworks paper floating in the sky above the court. With the familiar song "We Are the Champions", all the Lakers players hugged each other and jumped up excitedly!

Outside the court, when the time ran out, a large number of media ran to the excited Kobe and O'Neal with countless cameras on their shoulders and hands!

When Kobe excitedly stood on the technical stage to greet the fans and waved his arms excitedly, the fans in front of him all waved their yellow inflatable sticks in response!

O'Neal and his teammates embraced and cried. Since he entered the league, his strong talent and unparalleled physical fitness made him reach the finals only two years later.

When people are looking forward to him, he has been waiting for eight years in this fickle league!
At this moment, the championship has finally become the best salvation for O'Neal and the Lakers, and the original doubts will disappear without a trace under the foreshadowing of this supreme honor!
Everyone looked at the excited Lakers players on the court, but they missed the Pacers' regret, tears of loss and lonely back!

Looking at the team that is struggling for the championship, Bruce can only silently bless them!

The court was filled with all kinds of media and a large number of league staff for a while.

When Stern walked into the stadium with a smile on his face, all the fans, realizing what was about to happen, gave their warmest cheers to Stern, who made them like him for the first time!

Bruce watched everything on the court quietly, the excited players, the extremely satisfied Stern, and the crazier fans around him, this picture is so yearning.

As the Lakers players walked behind Stern excitedly one after another, Stern said loudly with joy: "The 99-00 season was an exciting season. The players showed great competitiveness. Their The wonderful performance is dedicated to cheering goals for the lovely fans time and time again!"

"The championship of the 99-00 season is the Los Angeles Lakers!!!"

After Stern finally said who the champion belonged to, loud cheers erupted in the arena.

The championship trophy exudes a charming halo. When Stern handed the trophy to the excited O'Neal, the audience suddenly burst into a huge MVP cheer!
When Stern handed over the MVP trophy to O'Neal, the cheers of the audience instantly increased a lot!

"MVP!! MVP!!"

Amidst the hissing and shouting of the fans in the audience, O'Neill lifted up the two trophies with both hands, and he looked down on the surroundings like a god of war!

"When will I be able to do that to him?" Bruce murmured to himself as he watched the ecstatic Bass hurried towards the players.

The next day, Bruce, who was sitting in the office, couldn't hold back his emotions and went to work. The image of winning the championship that he yearned for last night appeared in his mind all the time!
"Damn it!!" Bruce cursed angrily, then threw the documents on the table into a drawer, and walked out of the office with a displeased expression!
With the end of the finals, college players who are preparing to participate in this summer's draft are all gathered in Minneapolis!

On June 6, after a few days of adjustments, Bruce finally got out of the thoughts of the Lakers winning the championship, and sat on the plane bound for Minneapolis with an inexplicable expectation!

Before the draft, a large number of media have predicted which rookie each team will choose!

This summer, the topic of Kenyon Martin and some things gradually became the focus of all media attention!

Because he was injured in the top 64, although Martin resolutely decided to participate in this year's draft, the media are not optimistic about the prospect of this violent power forward!
Outside the home court of the Timberwolves, huge posters of rookies who may be invited to the Green Room this year hang outside.

Bruce stayed in the hotel and did not go to the main venue of the draft, but sent his assistant Taylor to go.

"Jingle Bell!!"

Bruce, who had just turned on the TV, was suddenly attracted by a ringing phone, then picked up the mobile phone beside him, and said with a smile: "Hi, I'm Bruce Yang!"

Larry Harris looked at the fans who were gradually increasing around him with some excitement, and said slowly: "Bruce, we will submit the application when Michael (Reid) is selected by you later, what do you think?"

"Aha, your suggestion is great, I think so too!" Bruce readily agreed to Harris' suggestion.

"Hehe, I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Although the deal with Bruce will not only get him a second-round pick in 02, but also pay a compensation of 100 million US dollars for it, but through the research and evaluation of Reid, he feels that This is a player with great potential.

After hanging up the phone, Bruce shook his head amusedly. If Reid achieved great success in the Bucks as he did in his previous life, Harris will definitely become the general manager of the Bucks sooner or later, not the general manager who seems to have some power now assistant!

After Bruce came to this era, although what he did was basically robbing other teams, his ultimate idea was to use his ability to gain the approval of these managers.

In today's league, although Bruce has only done some deals with a few teams, he has gradually gained some trust from these managers and small complaints from these managers in the previous deals that seemed to be a disadvantage to him!
With the fans, Stern and others all present at the draft, and more than a dozen rookies being invited to the small green room, this year's draft kicked off!
Although the Nets only achieved a record of 31 wins and 51 losses last season due to injuries, they still relied on incredible luck to win this year's No. 4 pick with a staggering 4% chance.

With the announcement of this result, the two worst teams in the league, the Bulls and Clippers, all questioned this result very much!

Of course, they only attracted some media attention. As for how Stern will view this matter, it can only be seen from the fact that the Nets are still holding on to this big surprise pick. The team obviously did not arouse the president's response!
When Stern walked slowly out of the aisle in the center of the stage, the fans and some media booed for a while. This scene seemed to have become a unique part of the NBA.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Minneapolis!" Stern still gave this brief introduction, then put the materials in his hand on the podium in front of him, glanced at the Looking at some apprehensive rookies, he adjusted his glasses and said very slowly: "The New Jersey Nets' choice is Kenyon Martin, a fourth-year student from the University of Cincinnati!!!"

Martin, who was wearing a black suit, looked at Stern who was looking at him on the stage in surprise. He couldn't believe the result!
Because of injuries, even though his physical fitness and solid inside foundation had already received widespread attention during his college days, with his injuries, his draft pick fell out of the lottery.

Now, hearing Stern say his name, Martin was dreaming.

If it wasn't for the gentle push of his mother and sister beside him, Martin might still be sitting on the sidelines in a daze.

After receiving the baseball cap from the staff of the Nets, Martin excitedly walked to the stage!
Stern looked at the No. [-] pick with a smile, thinking of his performance in college, his eyes couldn't help showing the light of expectation!

With the strides forward in the pace of globalization, Stern now very much needs a large number of stars to help him expand the market.

After the Lakers won another championship after 12 years, Stern seems to have seen the opportunity for the rise of the NBA, and has been evaluating all the stars and rookies with great potential!
Martin suppressed his excitement and held Stern's hand, subconsciously touched his head and put on the Nets' baseball cap. Looking at the ecstatic mother and sister in the audience, tears flowed down his eyes unbearably!
Kenyon Martin was born and grew up in Saginaw, a port city in eastern Michigan. His father was 1 meters tall, but what followed was his father's departure!

When little Martin saw the back of his father resolutely leaving, he knew the hardships of life and the difficulty of his mother since then!

Relying on the desire to let his mother and sister live a good life, Martin, who has gradually grown in height, fell in love with this exciting sport under the influence of the NBA!
As Martin gradually showed his explosive physical fitness, he was notified by the University of Cincinnati when he was about to graduate from high school.

In the four years of college, Martin has gradually grown into the star player of this university.

At this moment, Martin, who was wearing the Nets baseball cap, felt that everything had come so suddenly and surprisingly, and that all his efforts had paid off in huge rewards!
With Martin leaving the field excitedly, the second-placed Vancouver Grizzlies hesitated for a moment, and they resolutely chose Stromile Swift from St. Louisiana State University. And dunk maniac guys!

Bruce looked at Swift wearing a Grizzlies baseball cap on TV, and thought of the other party's achievements in his previous life, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "If this guy can have a higher golf IQ, he will definitely become a star!"

Thinking of the Clippers who are about to make a choice, Bruce couldn't help being curious about their choice!
Earlier, Bruce had mentioned Baylor in the rookie training camp, but from the last expression of the opponent, he saw the firmness on the opponent's face!

Stern walked out of the tunnel with a strange expression on his face. Thinking of the player who was about to be selected by the Clippers, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face!
"The Los Angeles Clippers selected Darius Miles from East St. Louis High!!"

As Stern finally pronounced Myers' name in a very flat tone, Myers, who looked immature in the audience, suddenly stood up, and took the Clippers hat with ecstasy!
In Stern's plan, he originally wanted to gradually abolish the right of high school students to directly participate in the election, but with the protests of most players and some teams, this plan gradually aborted.

Now looking at the excited Myers walking towards the stage, although Stern felt a little unhappy, he had no choice but to accept this unpleasant result!
迈尔斯在他的高中四年中,他一共获得了1531分、1015个篮板、648次盖帽、209次助攻和131次抢断。

His comprehensive skills have attracted the attention of a large number of managers. If it weren't for the first two players who made the managers more excited, Miles would definitely become the first high school student's top pick!

 Be the first!
