Chapter 19: NBA Draft 1973

　　 "Brother, this is what you said about the NBA draft, as long as it is more than one million dollars in annual salary after being selected?"
On June 30, 1993, at seven o'clock in the evening, at his home in Linhan, Utah, Lin Han was watching everything on TV. Although the NBA draft had not started, Lin Han did not want to miss any points. Seconds of the draft time, he is very much looking forward to today, after all, the Jazz also promised him that he will try to pick Lin Han in the first round.
　　 "Yeah, it won't take long for your brother to be a millionaire. If you want anything from me, I will buy it for you"
　　 "But, brother, can you really be selected? It seems like I never knew you would play basketball?"
　　Looking at the little girl Lin Yu's expression of suspicion, Lin Han's face was also unable to hang, and said with a smile: "Cough, you have more things you don't know."
　　After finishing the speech, Lin Han did not forget to gently squeeze the cheek of the little girl with both hands to express his dissatisfaction and said: "Your brother is a genius, can't you doubt your brother in the future"
"I know, brother, it hurts." Although Lin Han's kneading movement was very light, Lin Yu said with disapproval to Lin Han, but after seeing Lin Han take his hands back, this The little girl directly smiled and scratched Lin Han’s tickle sticking to Lin Han’s body. For the little girl’s counterattack, how could Lin Han not fight back, and soon the two laughed into a ball, which was also made from upstairs The second sister Lin Wei who came down was unhappy.
"Hey, you two are not kids anymore, pay attention to the impact." These two guys were very sticky when they were young. Although the two were three years old, they were like their peers. People of the same age in Lin Han used to fight or scold Lin Han, but they couldn't play together anyway.
Although today is June 30, the last day of June, but today is not a Saturday or Sunday rest day, so Lin Han’s elder sister has not come back, after playing with Lin Han and Lin Yu for a while, nba’s The draft was officially started.
　　 Watching his brother stare at the TV to watch this nba draft, Lin Yu is also learning his own brother's appearance, leaning on Lin Han to accompany him to watch this draft show she can't see.
This year’s NBA draft is not an absolute draft year, and it cannot be compared to the 84-year-old draft year, but although it cannot be compared to the 84-year-old golden draft year, it is definitely not a draft. In a young year, there were several rookies who came in this year, but there were several young people who were able to defeat the Mengyi team last year. Although the Mengyi team underestimated the enemy when facing them last year, even if the Mengyi team underestimated it, no team can Beaten, in this case, there are so many talented players this year, which also makes the top ten picks this year very popular.
Of course, this year's top ten rookie has nothing to do with Lin Han. These are for talented players, such as Hardaway, Alan Houston and other people. These people are also players invited by the league to the draft. As for Lin Han These ordinary rookies want to enter the NBA draft site and need to buy tickets to enter the stadium and sit in the stands like fans, so this year, Lin Han did not choose to go to the draft site of the Palace of Auburn Hills.
For this year’s NBA draft, the outside media has been speculating for a long time. For example, the news that Magic has been looking for a deal has been circulating recently. It seems that the Magic is not going to pick Hardaway with the No. 1 pick. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers After losing Barkley last year, they have been looking for quality power forwards, so this team seems to be lobbying the Magic to pick Hardaway with the top pick in the recent period, and they are preparing to confuse the Webber that the Warriors want, so the recent paragraph Time, on the magic, the serial news between the 76ers and the Warriors is flying all over the world.
As for the Magic, the 76ers, and the Warriors, this is even a triangle love story. Lin Han has always been very concerned, even more concerned than the change of his own draft pick, because Lin Han refused. Many teams, including the Lakers, are invited for trial training, so Lin Han’s draft rankings have been declining in recent times. Whether it is the United States today or other major American media, Lin Han’s draft prospects are not very optimistic. However, because of the promise of the Jazz, Lin Han now has no interest in his draft rankings.
And just when Lin Han stared at the TV and wanted to join Feifei, wanting to know whether the Magic would really sign Hardaway with the top pick, the alliance president David Stern finally gave the answer, and the Magic announced themselves With the first round of the first pick, he selected the best insider of this year's rookie Chris Webber. When David Stern announced that the Magic selected Webber, the TV lens was deliberately aimed at the 76ers and the Warriors. It is clear from the expressions of the two management teams that the Warriors and the Magic team agree, and for the 76ers, if they now want to retaliate, then directly choose Hardaway, Pit Magic and A handful of warriors.
But it is clear that the Magic and the Warriors dare to agree with each other naturally have their own reliance, and the two teams rely on the 76ers are not lack of backfield players like Hardaway, this team's defender position has Huo Nasek, the defender who averaged 19+7 per game last season and 20+4+4 All-Star guard Jose Hawkins last season, and even the small forward position has the No. 9 draft last year. Show Claires-Witherspoon, although this guy could not be the best rookie because of the presence of O'Neal and Mourning in the 1992 rookie, but his rookie season stats are close to 16+7. Potential rookies are the key training targets for the 76ers. Although Hardaway is much better than these three talents, but for the current 76ers, they really don't need an outside player.
Therefore, after the Magic and the Warriors conspired to pit the 76ers, the 76ers finally gritted their teeth and gave up their plans to revenge these two teams, but chose the second best position this year in the second overall position. The rookie insider Sean Bradley, for the 76ers, what they want this year's draft is the insider, no outside players.
　　 In this case, soon, the Warriors used their No. 3 draft pick to select Hardaway, who was already the top pick. It is estimated that Hardaway and Weber will exchange clubs with each other soon.
After the Magic and Warriors' draft conspiracy drama was staged, although the next draft had some surprises, the surprises were not so big. The fourth draft of the Dallas Mavericks selected Kentucky University forward Jamal Marsh. Ben, the young NBA team Minnesota Timberwolves chose Super Guard Leder in a rookie game and Lin Han battle, the sixth place in the Washington Bullets selected Carl Portman, and the Sacramento Kings in the seventh Picked the best point guard Bobby Haley this year.
Weinbeck was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks in the eighth place, and the Denver Nuggets selected Rodney Rogers, who is also a super insider, in the ninth. There is no Pistons that can enter the playoffs this year. The Heat's traded No. 10 draft pick selected point guard Lindsey Hunter, and at the same time used his own No. 11 draft pick to select super shooting guard Alan Houston, it seems that the Pistons' reconstruction has been on track. way.
As for Jerry West who always wanted Lin Han, in the Lakers' 12th pick, he was bullied by Lin Han, but he has a very promising small forward George Lynch. Obviously, Lin Han refused Jerry West to let the Lakers godfather have no face, naturally it is impossible to choose Lin Han, even if Lin Han really went to the Lakers for training, I am afraid Jerry West will not sign Lin with the 12th John.
But what makes Lin Han a little bit interesting is that the Indiana Pacers selected inside player Scott Haskin at the 14th pick. When he saw the Pacers choice, Lin Han’s face was very strange because of the jazz. Therefore, there is no absolute guarantee for Lin Han, and he did not tell Lin Han that he will definitely choose Lin Han in the first round, because the Jazz also took advantage of this inside.
Although this year's NBA draft can be regarded as a draft year, it really doesn't have too many high-quality insiders. In this case, almost every slightly better insider is fragrant, not to mention that the jazz is still real. There was a lack of insiders, but it was clear that the Jazz's goal was ambiguous by the Pacers.
Now Lin Han wants to know if the Jazz will pick him at the 18th overall pick in the first round. After all, as an nba team, Lin Han believes that there is absolutely no one inside the Jazz investigation. The first goal is gone, there will definitely be second and third goals.
　　 didn't make Lin Handuo wait. Soon after the first few teams drafted, it was the 18th Jazz.
　　 "The Utah Jazz picked No. 18 at the Utah Valley Community College... Utah Valley Community College shooting guard Lin Han"
　　After David Stern was a little surprised to read the little white stripe, the draft scene was full of uproar, and Lin Han was also stuck in his home at this time.
