Chapter 59: Winning champion

NBA playoffs are still in full swing.
Last year's champion Boston Celtics was injured by Garnett and eventually lost to the Magic led by Howard. The Magic also passed all the way, eliminated James' Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals, and finally reached the finals. In the finals, they met with the Lakers.
Wang Xiao is very clear that the magic is too young, and he has no resistance against the spicy Lakers. The first finals of Howard’s career will be ended with a bad experience, and he may not have dreamed of it. This will also be him. The only Finals ever experienced in his career.
How did the playoffs go? There is no "gross" relationship with the Wizards, but there has been a very important thing for the Wizards recently.
Lottery ceremony for the Draft.
This season, the Wizards' record is third in the league, of course, the countdown.
The penultimate of the Eastern Conference, the penultimate of the league, the record is worse than the Wizards, in addition to the discount Oden only Westbrook, Thunder, the Los Angeles Clippers.
In terms of lottery probability, the Thunder took 25% of the top picks and 64.2% of the top three.
This is followed by the Clippers’ 19.9% ​​probability of winning the top pick and 55.8% of the top three selection odds.
The probability of the third-placed Wizards pick is 13.8%, and the probability of the top three is 42.6%.
Basically, if the character is not too bad, the Wizards can get one of the top three picks.
In order to express the new appointment to the new head coach, the Wizards boss specifically asked Wang Xiao to participate in the lottery ceremony.
Wang Xiao participated in this ceremony for the first time. Looking at the draw box on the stage, he felt particularly novel.
After NBA President Stern made a speech, the lottery ceremony began.
The first to draw on the stage was the Oklahoma City Thunder, the penultimate record, and the son of the Thunder boss.
It can be seen that the guy is a little nervous, and under the leadership of his father, he walked towards the lottery box, and then after a "flick" in the box, took out a small ball.
Wang Xiao, who was sitting under the stage, immediately noticed that the child's father's face was a bit dark.
Sure enough, after receiving the ball, Stern looked at it and said, "Congratulations to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who won the third overall pick."
Actually the third overall pick.
Wang Xiao was a little bit happy.
His appearance has changed history, the wings of the butterfly have been instigated, and the Thunder, which has both Durant and Westbrook at the same time and space, has not entered the playoffs, but the record is not the bottom of the league. Drawing the third overall pick and picking James Harden was pretty good luck.
But in this time and space, because the selected champion Oden was injured, the Thunder only had a first-year show Westbrook, the record last in the league, and I did not expect to be the third overall pick. This is a bit unlucky.
The Clippers, who followed the second draw, were all happy and crazy, and thought that the top pick would be ten in a row.
But when the result came out, they couldn't laugh.
"Congratulations to the Los Angeles Clippers for their second overall pick."
Second place?
Wang Xiao was stunned.
The third pick of the Thunder made Wang Xiao think that the butterfly effect of his crossing was not that great, but the second pick of the Clippers seemed to tell him that this was not the case.
The original No. 1 pick in Space and Time should belong to the Clippers. The latter used this draft pick to choose Blake Griffin.
But now, the No. 1 pick has become the second overall pick...

Wait~! Suddenly Wang Xiao felt something was wrong.
Involuntarily turning his head to look at him, the accompanying general manager Glenfield's breathing has begun to hurry.
"king……"
He opened his mouth, and before he spoke, Stern had already begun to say: "Here are the representatives of the Washington Wizards to draw lots."
Wang Xiao adjusted his clothes and walked calmly towards the grandstand.
As he walked, Wang Xiao was thinking about it. Is there any chance that he will be able to draw directly?
When he walked onto the stage and reached into the lottery box and grabbed a small ball to take it out, Wang Xiao couldn't help himself.
"Congratulations to the Wizards from Washington who won the first overall pick in the 2009 draft!"
Stern took the small ball in Wang Xiao's hands to say this, and couldn't help staring at Wang Xiao for a long time.
At that time, the Chinese player Yao Ming logged in to the NBA and became the draft pick. Stern can say a lot of power. He is very optimistic about the NBA in the Chinese market.
But even he did not expect that one day an nba could appear as a basketball coach from China!
He knew what happened two years ago, but he was also very angry at the time, because even him, many people think that Oden won the first prize is well-received, and will effectively drive the ratings of nba, Wang Xiao messed up everything.
But now it seems that Wang Xiao's choice is actually correct, his vision is more "colorful" than the whole nba...
"Maybe, he can really create a world here."
The Wizards won the top pick! The new head coach brings good luck!
After a whole season of nightmares, the Washington Wizards' "fans" can finally laugh heartily.
Although 2009 is not a big draft year, but it is recognized that there are many players with good potential, such as the physique of Griffin, the extremely talented Tebit, the draft template is James Tyrek. Vince, European golden boy Rubio, who caused great trouble for the US team at the Olympics, etc...
If the Wizards use this top pick to choose a player with good potential, plus the comeback Arenas and Jamison Butler, the Big Three...
A bright and bright future is waiting for them!
With a faint smile on his face, he came down from the stage, and Wang Xiao sat back in position.
He has already begun to think about how to maximize the value of this top pick...
Soon, his eyes were locked on the wave of the Los Angeles Clippers.
At this time, the Clippers' management face was very ugly, even uglier than the Thunder team.
The Clippers want to win the No. 1 pick because they want Griffin.
Although his reputation is far less than that of Oden in 2007, Griffin is definitely a good inside player in recent years. Basically, there will be no outstanding big men in the next two drafts, and another big man, Tabit, is in them. Although it seems pretty good, but the playing style is too rigid, it is not suitable for those who want to eagerly attract the attention of the "fans" and transfer them from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Clippers.
"Shouldn't the Wizards be interested in Griffin? After all, they have Jamison and Haywood, so there's no need to pick another big man?"
The Clippers couldn't help asking their companions in such a low voice, but his tone was very uncertain.
Who can guarantee such a thing? The Wizards power forward Jamison has been 31 years old and is about to pass the peak period. There is a possibility of being traded at any time.
"No! You have to find a way to see if you can get it from the Wizards!"
The Clippers who made such a decision did not know that Wang Xiao, who had no interest in the No. 1 pick, also hit them.
