Chapter 178: Lotto draw

When the CUBA Invitational started, the NBA on the other side of the ocean was still in full swing.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls were shocked again in a cold sweat.
The Eagles used a long-hidden three-point tactic in a 2-0 situation.
No one thought that the Eagles' three-point tactics had a miraculous effect. They threw 35+ three-pointers in two consecutive games and hit at least 20 three-pointers. This also allowed them to win the Bulls' two consecutive victories.
The Eagles chased two points in a row, and the series total score was also 2-2.
At this critical moment, the Bulls also made adjustments. Strengthen the outside defense, while increasing the three-pointer of your own shooter.
In the following game, the Eagles failed to continue the fiery touch, and the Bulls did not give a chance, forcibly took away two consecutive victories and ended the series.
Although the Bulls passed 4-2, the Hawks' style of play once again proved to everyone that the three-point tactic is a good way to steal points from the Bulls. Although you can't win a full victory, you can use it when necessary and the effect is still very good.
In an office on the 15th floor of the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.
The little old man tapped the tabletop.
"Three-pointers, three-pointers, three-pointers again."
...
In mid-May, the NBA held a lottery draw ceremony.
All 13 teams that did not make the playoffs sent representatives to New York.
This lottery ceremony has been for many years for the team that was not the first overall pick to get the top pick.
Same thing this time!
When the 4 numbers selected by the lottery machine all appear~
The bottom-to-last record in the Grizzlies private room.
"Oh no!!!!"
"F#!!!"
"Shit, this lotto machine! It must be broken! It must be broken!"
"My No. 1 pick, it's gone, it's gone..."
All the Grizzlies' hard work for a season was wasted.
One season was beaten, one season was accused, one season was abandoned by fans.
At this moment, they felt the world collapsed.
The gloom on one side was bleak, but the other side was extremely excited.
"Yay!!!"
There was joy in the Dallas Mavericks box.
Big boss, Little Lopert, they hugged Don Nelson and hugged tightly.
"Tang! Thank you! You brought us good luck!"
"Don! Our Mavericks are really useless without you."
"Tang! The champion is ours. The champion is ours!"
Don Nelson flushed, not because of excitement, but because,
"Ahem, I~ I'm out of breath..."
Everyone also quickly let go, quite embarrassed.
"Huh~hh~hh~hh~"
Don Nelson gasped for breath.
If you hang up here today, you must be more "famous" than the Mavericks who won the No. 1 pick?
"It's just a No. 1 pick, don't be so excited. Everyone has a long-term vision. Our goal is the championship."
As soon as Don Nelson finished speaking, there was a neat voice in the box, "Champion! Champion! Champion!"
Don Nelson:...
Why are you more confident than me?
Don Nelson felt a lot of pressure.
The third-worst Mavericks won the No. 1 pick, while the Grizzlies, the bottom-bottom, had no luck.
With only 14 wins, the Grizzlies, who have been blasted by the league for a season, have not been favored by God. They only got the fourth overall pick!
The Spurs, with the second worst record, also missed the No. 1 pick. They got the second pick, which is pretty good.
The fifth-worst Celtics were lucky enough to get a lottery.
Knocking~
Someone came to visit soon.
"Tang, congratulations!"
The old guy Bubvitch appeared in the Mavericks box with a smile on his face.
"Hehe, you guys are not bad too. I took a look at the flowers, which is much better than Vancouverites." Don Nelson can be said to be refreshed on happy occasions. The depressed mood of being sent a victory by the Spurs at the beginning is finally gone.
"Haha~" Bu Buweiqi laughed a little awkwardly, but he was shocked: "Tang, how about discussing something with you, how about signing me the champion?"
For a time, dozens of pairs of eyes in the box stared over.
"Hen~Tang, you just drank again, right?"
"I did drink a little bit, but what I'm telling is the truth." Bubvić said cheeky: "Don, don't you like that Chinese big man the most? He shoots the ball accurately, is fast, and can pass the ball. , Three-pointers are also good, isn't this the player you want most?"
Don Nelson just watched Bubvić's performance with a smile.
Bubvić continued:
"Tang, really, Tim won't be able to play his role in your hands. He is unstable in the middle distance, slow in speed, and not strong in confrontation. He can't control the ball and can't pass the ball. The key is his character. It's still a bit dull. Trust me, only I can really develop him."
"Hen~" Don Nelson smiled. How come I said this to Brad of the 76ers!
He also responded indifferently, "How did you know I was going to pick Tim? I think Keith Van Horn is more suitable for my system."
As early as last year, Keith Van Horn, a college student, was described by the media as "the second Larry Bird".
Van Horn has the same projection ability as Bird, and is calm-headed, and both are white. Everyone thinks that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the "second Bird".
On the current draft forecast rankings, Keith Van Horn is ranked second only to Duncan.
Bubvich clapped his hands "pop", "Do you want to choose Keith? That's great, we can just change it. We choose Tim, you choose Keith, and you can get it for free from us. Next year’s draft picks have the best of both worlds, don’t you think?"
This Bubvić is too arrogant. You can say a few words about everything.
"Huh~ you want to be beautiful!"
Don Nelson smiled mockingly ~EbookFREE.me~ and then ignored him and sat back in his seat.
It was an embarrassment for Bubovich, but he still kept smiling.
"Well, in that case, let's find another chance to talk next time."
As soon as he walked out, Bubvić's face collapsed, and he felt that he had lost a lot.
Tim Duncan is his most valued cornerstone of the team. He felt that with Tim Duncan and Admiral David Robertson, with the twin towers in hand, the Spurs could at least break out of the world. In time, maybe we can win the championship.
However, God is unfair!
Bubvić can only hope Don Nelson now. However, if there is really no way, then you can only choose Keith.
"Hey~~ It's okay to come from a small town, it's really hard to walk any way~"
