: 553. Pistons' choice

"Ace, can you tell me in advance, who will our team choose?"
"Well, Dina would like to know!"
"Don't you say that you have to watch the live broadcast to be surprised before the first two days?"
"But now Dinah and her mother would like to know, Uncle ... Tell Dinah well ..."
"..."
Liu Manggang was about to tell Levia and Dina, but she felt something was missing, as if something was wrong.
Suddenly thought that there seems to be one less person interested in the draft.
Liu Mang looked over to the big living room, and Alexia was tinkering with something.
"Sister Aida, you don't want to know who our team will choose?" Liu Mang shouted towards the living room.
"I'm not free. I'm preparing to bring something to China!"
"A week away, what are you doing so anxiously?" Liu Mang asked curiously.
"Of course you have to prepare early. Levia is so lazy. I have to choose double copies of gifts. I have to choose different ones."
"Just buy a few gifts. My parents don't pay attention to these. We are an ordinary family. In our country, it is not as good as your middle-class family in the United States."
"It's different now! Aisi, aren't you going to be a multimillionaire soon? I checked. You are already a billionaire in your China. Of course it's different! I and Levia paid out Those relatives and neighbors who have prepared some gifts for you cannot lose face. "
"Listen to me, Sister Aida, with whom do you learn this strange theory?" Liu Mang asked with convulsions.
"Don't all the TV shows in your country look like this?" Alexia asked back.
Liu Mang has long known that they should stop learning, and have been exposed to so many domestic cultures, and now foreign girls are almost becoming local girls!
"Sister, don't watch those rural non-mainstream TV series in the future ..." Liu Mang was speechless.
"non-mainstream?"
"Um ... just some feudal superstition ... Oh, forget it, you're happy, I'm very happy." Liu Mang thought that the foreign girl might become a local girl soon!
Liu Mang has returned to Atlanta. The booked ticket is the ticket to Shanghai on July 7 and then back to Jiaxing's home.
For Jiaxing, Liu Mang's impression is only dumplings ...
In the part of the memory that Liu Mang obtained, his mother opened a breakfast shop in the ancient town of Xitang in Jiaxing. His father was an electric worker. His family was still very wealthy. Both parents ’incomes were very good. A lot of effort was made to create a good learning environment for Liu Mang. Liu Mang went to Shanghai next to him from junior high school, and then high school was also in Shanghai. It was fine when he was in junior high school. I went back once, and I still make up classes in the summer. When I was 17 years old, I went to Atlanta to study at a university.
Liu Mang began to fear this matter, but now he is ready to go back, but his heart has become very stable.
It's just that Liu Mang didn't know that when the two American girls and a little loli came home, their parents saw whether they were surprised or frightened ...
Today is June 29, 2003, and the draft was postponed for two days at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Liu Mang and Dina are waiting for the draft to start.
After a lot of trouble, I finally decided to leave a suspense and wait for the draft to start, and then see who the bottom pick is!
Liu Mang doesn't think it's a problem for the team to choose the person he suggested, because the picks have improved a lot.
It's just that Liu Mang is curious about who the other teams will choose.
Although Liu Mang came into contact with management, he knew who a team was going to pick. If it was a bad draft pick, it was basically planned one or two years ago, unless it was Yao Ming and James are mandatory choices. Otherwise, it is difficult for a team to choose who to choose, unless it is just being robbed by someone else, or the person who was originally regarded as the champion has no choice. It may lead to a series of upset drafts, just like the 2013 Cavaliers drafted Anthony Bennett. Afterwards, the series of drafts have become very strange, and it is not the planned training of rookies. It became very strange.
But Liu Mang is still looking forward to things that are different from what he knows. Anyway, they are all played by the lottery teams. Whatever they want to make, Liu Mang can watch a lot of fun.
...
The draft meeting started at 6pm in the evening, and Liu Mang waited in front of the TV at 5pm, saying that it started at 6am, but in fact some other things were already playing at more than 4pm.
Interviews with rookies, interviews with the bosses of the teams, coaching teams, and interviews with some of the family members of popular rookies, such as LeBron James ’s mother, already shouting at the camera wearing a 1st shirt "I said, one day my son will become a millionaire! I said it!"
At six o'clock, David Stern appeared on the screen after an advertisement was broadcast on the TV screen.
"Ladies and gentlemen ..." David Stern started the same opening speech every year, "... First of all, we look forward to the choice of the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first pick."
After David Stern finished speaking, he left the center of the stage, and the big screen behind the center of the stage began playing highlights of the top champions, while the TV screen was directly switched to and.
The Cavaliers have three minutes to consider, but what else is the top pick? The envelope prepared here this afternoon and submitted to the officials immediately.
A highlight of more than a minute was played, which was a wonderful picture of a few popular rookies, and then switched to three top picks, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Dacco Milicic.
James said this to his mother with a smile, not as excited as his mother, but the excitement in his eyes was also indispensable, and finally he had to get out.
Anthony is sullen, but his appearance is quite domineering. The standard bad boy is a little shy in front of Liu Mang. His suit actually has a feeling of gangsters, which attracted the attention of young fans.
Milicic, the standard little white face, is different from the big fat man in the future of the Timberwolves. Now he belongs to a small handsome boy with a wide body but still thin, and does not have the rough feeling of Eastern European men, but ... When I came to the United States, there was only an agent next to him. When the camera reached him, he was somewhat at a loss, and his ability to bear was evident.
Three minutes later, David Stern came to the center of the stage again with an envelope.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose at the first pick ..." David Stern lengthened his tail. "LeBron James from St. Mary's High School ..."
After David Stern finished speaking, the camera gave James with a very calm smile. James kissed his mother's cheek and didn't care about the tears on his mother's face, and hugged his mother and friends. Then came to the stage and shook hands with David Stern.
Then David Stern immediately left the stage, not to mention that the next team was ready. The next three minutes were a brief interview with James and the playing of James ’high school and various commercial games after the high school league. Highlights.
There is no suspense in the attribution of the champion. Even if Wade was hot, Bosh and Milicic were hot, but Anthony, who had been hot all the time, could not threaten James's status as a champion, let alone others.
Liu Mang was not surprised to see James become the No. 1 champion. This is not to say that they could blow a wave of Wade, or a certain oil head on the south coast, hire a navy, and Milicic could shake.
The second pick, this pick is the most suspenseful, and it is the most likely to cause a chain reaction, resulting in a completely different situation in this year's high draft area and the previous draft forecast.
The main reason is that even if the Pistons were originally a strong team, a team with more than 50 wins, they should not have a second pick in the draft year. This is more than the 83rd pick of the Lakers as the defending champion. It's amazing that 83 years was a draft year, and that rookie became an All-Star in less than one hand.
In the 2003 draft, there are as many as 10 players who are regarded as talents for building the team. The Pistons have a good lineup. They have core and role players. It is difficult to predict who they will choose.
Of course, if in theory, the draft, the first hottest was selected, the second hottest, such as Anthony, is the best choice, but this kind of thing is inaccurate.
In the eyes of many lottery team fans, the Pistons are a demon, controlling the future of the lottery team in addition to the Cavaliers.
...
In the Pistons' room, there are four pieces of stationery placed in front of the head coach Larry Brown and the boss Bill Davidson who just announced the joining of the Pistons. They are stationery with the names of Anthony, Wade, Bosh and Milicic .
When Larry Brown first arrived at the Pistons, he originally wanted to choose a high center to substitute Ben Wallace. Larry Brown still wanted to use a high center, so Milicic was the original plan. .
Mrs. Yugoslavia, center, big man, gives the impression of defensive gates and superb skills.
They have already planned for the power forward. Because Clifford Robinson is really old, the Pistons did not leave Clifford when they knew that the Warriors used two years of middle class to rob Clifford Robinson. De Robinson, Larry Brown's goal is Rashid Wallace, so the Pistons team asked for an inquiry.
Larry Brown knows Rashid Wallace too well, because the two are alumni and have a good relationship. Knowing that Rashid Wallace is a very gentle person in private, the field is completely different from the field. People also donated money together for charity.
But the Blazers want a star outside, or the Pistons' second pick this year. Of course, Larry Brown is okay. Although he wants a power center substitute, he can get Rashid Wallace. , But the Pistons owner Bill Davidson strongly disagreed.
Just like Angie, Bill Davidson did n’t want to pay too much to Rashid Wallace, and even if Larry Brown highly recommended Rashid Wallace, he would not be willing to ask for a deal to trade Rashid. -This is Wallace.
This is the second pick in 2003! It is possible to choose the next Jordan's pick!
Originally, I could not directly trade to Rashid Wallace, and Larry Brown was not in a hurry, because he felt that the Rashid Wallace Trail Blazers could not sell like this lion's big opening, so he waited until the Blazers could not bear it. It's just a robbery when you live to sell. Who knows that the Hawks stepped in and took Rashid Wallace away!
Then the Pistons inquired the Eagles. The Eagles directly said that Rashid Wallace was not for sale.
Now the Pistons desperately need a power forward, otherwise they can only use the 02-year-old Turkish inside Okur to play the power forward, Larry Brown looked worried about the movement speed and single defense ability.
But there are too many choices before the Pistons. They are still hesitating who to choose. Although they want power forwards, Wade and Anthony are too tempting.
Union officials have come to urge.
Bill Davidson made up his mind, picked up a letter and looked at it, put it in the envelope, and gave it to the Union official ...
"..." Larry Brown didn't say anything. It was the default when he saw the stationery that was picked up.
...
David Stern once again came to the center of the stage. At this moment the real suspense is coming. How will the Pistons "manipulate" this draft?
Watching David Stern open the envelope, the guys in the Nuggets' room grabbed their hearts, the oil heads in the Heat's rooms grabbed their hearts, only the fourth overall pick of the Raptors management was not afraid. Three picks first, and the rest of them are just holding.
After David Stern opened the stationery, instead of delaying the time when a certain player's hairline made a No. 23 player feel that he had found a relative's director, he directly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Detroit Pistons are The second pick selected Chris Bosh of Georgia State University! "
The Nuggets management director breathed a sigh of relief ~ EbookFREE.me ~ quickly wrote Anthony's name. Union officials had just arrived at them and they couldn't wait to stuff it out.
Bosh was so excited that he rose from the originally predicted fourth or fifth pick to second pick, and his salary rose a lot! Celebrate and hug with friends.
The third pick followed, and David Stern said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Denver Nuggets selected Carmelo Anthony from Syracuse University in New York in the third pick!"
In addition to the Nuggets fans and New York fans, Anthony was originally a native of New York. He grew up in New York and studied in New York, so he would like to return to New York to play in the future. The popularity is much higher than that of Marbury, the so-called son of New York in the future. The local fans brought by the NCAA are very enthusiastic and loyal.
On the Heat side, although the oil heads did not choose Wade in the first three picks, they were still in anxiety. Although the Raptors theoretically need more inside, Carter and the Raptors management do not agree, plus Carter this year Popularity is declining severely, and it is not impossible for the Raptors to change the outside core.
Seeing the first three picks finished, David Stern walked onto the stage again, and Pat Riley's heart was already hanging.
It's just this step!
David Stern opened the stationery: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Toronto Raptors selected Dakota Milicic from Serbia in the fourth pick!"
Pat Riley almost ran into tears, and could have easily accepted Wade, but was disturbed by the yellow, which led him to fight for Bosh and Milicic for more than half a month. Finally, watch When the Raptors who needed frontcourt players took Milicic, Pat Riley finally took Wade!
