Chapter 990 The Top Three Return
　　June 27, 2003
　　 Today is the day when the draft conference is held.
　　The teams observed for many days and conducted multiple rounds of training. Finally, they got a thorough understanding of this rookie and found the Prince Charming in their hearts.
　　 LeBron James at the scene must be the real son of many teams, but he can get only one team, that is, the Timberwolves with the first pick in the first round.
On the day of the draft, Mo Mengchen got up early, made a delicious breakfast, and sat in front of the TV.
　　 is alone.
　　 Adrian recently reported to football training camp, and it was in the case of Ephraim strongly opposed.
　　Ephraim went to work, leaving only Mo Mengchen and four children at home.
　　At this time, the child has not yet woken up, and the draft conference is about to start.
　　Mo Mengchen has only one wish: Do not wake up until the first six picks come out.
　　 "I have watched LeBron's high school games." The live commentators Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley sat together.
　　Smith said: "No matter how difficult it is, LeBron always looks effortless."
　　 recently bloated to decent Barkley said lightly: "In my opinion, his most valuable trait is passing, he has incredible insight ability, can see the trajectory after a few steps."
　　 "There are rumors that multiple teams have proposed a deal to the Timberwolves."
　　 "Yes, LeBron's agent also wants the Timberwolves to trade the draft pick."
　　 Barkley and Smith talked about things outside this draft pick, and Mo Mengchen also knew a little about it.
　　James doesn’t want to come to a strong team like the Pistons, but he doesn’t want to go to a bitter cold place like Minnesota. That kind of place is not as good as his hometown.
　　O'Neal's agent also wanted the Magic to trade the draft right, but the initiative in this matter was not in the hands of the players.
　　 It's just that this time other teams took the initiative to ask for a deal.
　　 The most active team is the Lakers, but the trading rules did not break out.
　　 There are rumors: "The Lakers have proposed a price that is full of sincerity and almost difficult to refuse."
　　 Full of sincerity? Difficult to refuse?
　　Mo Mengchen thought at the time, except for the OK shot, the Lakers should have no other bargaining chip that can afford such evaluation.
　　 If it is OK, who was shot?
　　O'Neill? If the Timberwolves clapped their heads in agreement, would the legendary Janko join forces in the future?
　　Because this matter is so amazing, Mo Mengchen is just a simple guess.
　　Because there is no insider, the rumors in the outside world are all speculations, and no one knows what price tag the Lakers have provided, so they can only wait for the result quietly.
　　The draft meeting has arrived. The Timberwolves have no news of trading the draft right. Their negotiations with the Lakers may go bankrupt.
　　 It is also possible that they will trade James after they are selected.
　　Time passed little by little, and the time to announce the result was coming.
　　 The weird soundtrack sounded, and Stern walked out of the background with an envelope containing the Timberwolves.
　　 is very strange, obviously the draft conference is full of surprises, but at the moment, everyone in front of the TV has the feeling of "you hurry to finish applauding".
　　 Even if there are many university geniuses competing for competition, no one can shake that man's top spot.
　　Stern opened the envelope without any change on his face: "2003 NBA Draft!"
　　 "The Minnesota Timberwolves chose the first pick in the first round..." Boring pause, please hurry up, "LeBron James, from St. Mary's High School!"
　　 Applause thundered.
　　Smith said: "The king of Akron really won the first election. Will he be the king of the new era?"
"Oh, if he wants to be king, then he has to wait at least four years later." Buckley laughed, "and the Pistons are very young, he should be glad that he was selected by the Western team, as long as the Western team does not score in the total In the final, you only need to play two games with the Pistons throughout the year."
　　When explaining, if some people say right, some people will refute, for the so-called visibility.
Smith knew that Barkley was right, but he still had to follow a few words here: "Charles, I have a different opinion. The king of the new era must attack the old dynasty. If he wants to wait until the old dynasty is decayed, he will reign. , It’s not a king, just a tolerant turtle."
　　The second generals on the commentary table told each other, but James had already stood on the high platform. In a white suit and a Tiara wolf cap on his head, he shook hands with Stern, thanked him, and then gave an interview.
After 　　, he gave an interview and talked about his future.
　　 "I am not proud, this is just the beginning."
"I want to be a player like Michael Jordan. I still have a lot to improve." James said, "My defense is not good enough, my midrange shooting is unstable, and my body needs to be stronger to keep up with the NBA. Confrontation, I am very happy to enter this big family, I am ready to meet the challenges of the future."
　　 is clearly only 18 years old, but behaves as modest and steady as an adult.
　　 The reporter at the scene liked him quite well, and James' performance won unanimous praise.
　　 champion, has returned.
　　 The team with the second pick is the Magic.
　　 These seasons, the Magic is still at a low point, just like the Celtics lost after Duncan, the penny abandoned Orlando, the Magic must be rebuilt.
　　 They need to choose a brand new shark and penny.
　　 Even if only one, it is enough to help the team rise.
　　Tekoglu has good potential, and can also be the main player in the future, but it is unrealistic to expect him to lead the team to rise.
　　The Magic’s management is sober, and Tekoglu can be used as a starter, but they still need a real cornerstone.
　　 They had pinned their hopes on Kwame Brown, a high school student who had high hopes for the Pistons.
　　Unexpectedly, the piston looked away.
　　Brown averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds in the second season.
　　 His future performance is likely to stay on the current data for a long time.
　　 Two years of trials, the Magic has seen that Brown has a limited upper limit, and he no longer regards him as the future of the team. If cornerstone players do appear, they will not hesitate to launch a transaction.
　　James is the only player in the current draft that is considered to be the lower limit All-Star. Magic also tried to come up with the second overall pick to find the Timberwolves.
　　They don't mind adding some extras.
　　 It is said that the Timberwolves refused the magic in this way: "We even rejected the Lakers' chips, can you be regarded as your second pick?"
　　What is the specific situation, no one knows, Magic only knows that the Timberwolves' determination to keep the No. 1 pick is unshakable.
　　 Their appearance makes people feel that even if the Pistons come up with them to make a deal with them, they will refuse.
　　 No way, the young potential stock is so charming.
　　 This feeling is like playing with stones.
　　You never know whether a stone bought by heavy gold will double its value after being cut, or a piece of rotten things that are featureless outside and mediocre inside.
　　 can't get James, Magic can only find the most potential rookie.
　　 It seems that Anthony is the better choice, but the general manager of Magic and Dumas watched Atlanta's public trial together. He was as fascinated by Dumas as this handsome European genius.
　　 It's just that they are not quite sure yet.
Due to the success of Nowitzki and others, these young, tall and capable European elders are quite popular in the NBA, but for a young man who has just turned 18, he has paid a lot of talent for the draft year. Is the top pick of the list really worth it?
　　 Later, Milicic went to the Motor City for training, so the news about the Pistons' Milicic aspirations broke out.
　　 At first, some people thought it was a smoke bomb.
　　Few days later, the Magic management received the Pistons' transaction proposal.
　　 5th overall pick in the first round + 29th overall pick in the first round + Earl Watson's pick for the list.
　　Magic's general manager took a look at the Pistons, and was even more convinced of Milicic's talents and prospects, thinking that the cooked duck can still let him fly?
　　 They decided to reject the Pistons' proposal on the spot.
　　 And, in order to disgust the Pistons, they also added an offer: future draft pick + Reed, we can consider.
　　 This negotiation naturally went away.
　　The Pistons gave up the No. 2 pick, and the Magic firmly decided to choose Milicic.
　　 Therefore, the next result is not unexpected.
Stern stood up and announced the final result: "The 2003 Orlando NBA Draft, Orlando Magic chose second place in the first round... Dakko Milicic from Novi Sad High School in Serbia~www.mtlnovel .com~ The young and handsome white man stood up, and his fate changed from then on.
The 　　crosser effect affects everyone.
　　He was selected by the magic hungry, there is no Larry Brown, there is no veteran to suppress his growth, but there is fertile soil for rookie rapid growth.
　　Of course, the nightclubs in Orange City are definitely more fun than the nightclubs in Automobile City.
　　Through an on-site interview, Mo Mengchen found that Milicic's English is not very good, and the accent is very heavy. If he doesn't listen carefully, he can't hear what he is talking about.
　　 is also an 18-year-old genius. Compared with James's maturity, he is like the opposite.
　　 Cautious, shy, shy, even introverted.
　　 doesn't matter anymore, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
　　 Next is the highlight.
　　 In fact, as long as the Timberwolves chose James, the Magic chose Milicic, the Pistons are destined to win a big victory in the draft.
　　 The team with the third pick is the Warriors. They have already reached an agreement with the Pistons. Therefore, the players they choose can also be regarded as the players selected by the Pistons.
　　 "The Warriors have been dormant for a long time, they need a real cornerstone player to revitalize the team."
　　 "Let's see if the Warriors can pick their Rick Barry at this draft."
　　Stern walked to the stage again.
　　 His smile is still kind.
　　 "The 2003 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors chose third place in the first round... Cameron Anthony, from Syracuse University!"
