Chapter 449: Eve of the lottery

In the blink of an eye, the 2001-2002 regular season was over.
On April 13, the Pistons finished their last game of the regular season against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Because it is divided into the east and the west, the two teams have only handed over mobile phones twice this season.
The last game was at the end of 2001. The strength of the Pistons is naturally not the opponent of the Trail Blazers. In addition, Clark had not come back at that time, so the Blazers scored a 20% difference.
Even so, Zhang Weiping was merciful...
Tonight, this game left Richard a little speechless. Zhang Weiping directly took a rest from the team's main force and said that he was actively preparing for the playoffs.
The fool can also see that Zhang Weiping is preparing to give Richard's piston water...
Anyway, it is no difference that they win this game and lose this game. They are all second in the West.
Richard doesn't really matter, anyway, even if they win this game, they are still the eleventh place in the east.
When the referee blew the game over, the Pistons won a 6-point difference at the Blazers' home.
From this we can also see the difference between the Pistons and the top teams in the league.
Even though the Trail Blazers took almost all of the main line-up, the Pistons still couldn't win.
...
There are 15 teams on the east side and 14 teams on the west side.
At the end of the regular season, the Pistons ranked 11th in the East, which is the penultimate position in the East.
The four teams behind the Pistons are the Heat, Hawks, Knicks and Cavaliers.
36 wins and 46 losses is the Pistons' record this season.
Pistons fans are naturally quite painful...
It is already obvious that Richard wanted to slap it, but it was quite incomplete. In the end, this record was actually quite embarrassing.
In the eyes of fans, this pendulum is quite meaningless.
Because according to the rules of the draft draw, the Pistons' current record ranks in the bottom eighth of the league.
There are four teams in the east that are worse than the Pistons, and three teams in the west are worse than the Pistons. This is the penultimate record in the league.
According to the rules of the draw conference, the penultimate record may draw seven series of draws.
First, second, third, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh.
The first two, two and three picks, as long as the lotto team, have a chance to win, no matter what the record, even among all lottery teams, the team with the best win rate, there is a chance to get the top pick.
Of course, this probability is basically negligible.
As for the Golden State Warriors with the worst record in the league this season, they are naturally the team with the highest chance of winning the top pick, with a 25% chance.
Not only the top picks have a high chance of picking, but also the top spot picks are 25%, and the prospect of picking flowers is 21.5%.
Careful fans can see that the team with the worst record is not the one who can secure the top three picks.
In order to prevent the worst team in the record, because the luck is really bad, the draw is too low, so that it can not be successfully rebuilt, so the league is also quite humane to supplement the rules.
That is, when the team draws, the guarantee can also get the draft picks in the next three rankings.
For example, the Warriors ranked the bottom of the record, then he can also get a fourth overall pick.
As for the penultimate Cavaliers, it is guaranteed that they can get a fifth pick.
When the Pistons wait, because there are guaranteed bottom picks in the first few picks, the Pistons can only have seven picks.
...
The Pistons have a 2.8% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, the No. 3 pick is 3.3%, and the No. 1 pick is 3.7%.
It can be seen that this probability is really too low, which is why the Pistons fans hurt.
The pendulum is not thorough enough, basically losing the qualification for the top three picks.
But to say that there is no hope at all, that would not be enough...
Because there have been such beautiful things in history.
And there has been more than one appearance, not mentioning the far one for the time being, just saying that the Nets in the previous two years were such lucky ones.
At the 2000 lottery conference, they had the seventh-lowest record, a 4.4% chance of winning the top spot.
I have to say that this luck is really good, but it may be that God opened a door and closed a window for it.
Because this 2000 draft was a small year, the Nets only got Kenyon Martin, and they didn't get any characters who can really lead the team's rise.
Don't look at the Nets' first record in the Eastern Conference this season, but in fact it has little to do with Kenyon Martin, and most of it is Kidd's credit.
In another era of good luck, it was a bit older.
But it is not far away. In 1993, it was the year before Richard passed through.
The lucky one this time is the Magic...
In 1992, they just picked O'Neal with the No. 1 pick. As a result, in 1993, they won the No. 1 pick again with a 1.56% chance.
I have to say that this luck is invincible.
The penultimate league in the record league is better than the Pistons at the moment. In the end, the top picks can be drawn, not luck.
The key is that 93 years is not a draft year. They magically chose Chris Webber with the top pick in their hand, and then used Webber to exchange for the penny Hardaway the Warriors got.
This made the magic rise in those two years...
It can be said that the Magic can enter the finals in the past two years, and it is really the arrival of the goddess of luck. If it is not luck, if two consecutive champions sign, how can they play that record.
An O'Neill, a penny Hardaway, maybe the Magic boss saved the galaxy in his last life.
Seventeen years have passed since playing in 1985, and these two lucky teams have emerged.
But Richard was true, and two such lucky incidents appeared later!
...
For example, this 2002 Lottery Conference, in fact, the Rockets are considered a team of luck.
Their normal record is the 11th in the West, and the odds of winning the No. 1 pick are 8.9%. As a result, Francis went to the lottery on behalf of the Rockets.
This is also the reason why Francis took care of Yao Ming so much. In his opinion, Yao Ming estimated that God sent him to him...
Later, there was the No. 1 pick of Ross in 2008, with a chance of only 1.7%.
But to say the best luck team, it is undoubtedly the Cavaliers.
In 11 years, this team won the top pick with a 2.8% chance and chose Irving. Then in 14 years, it picked the top pick with a 1.7% chance and chose Wiggins...
In 11-14 years, during the four years, the Cavaliers have won three top picks in four years, and many fans feel that there is something stupid about it.
Because in theory, this probability is simply too small and too small.
Even if it was the No. 1 pick that won Bennett in 13 years, the Cavaliers are not the worst team in the league. They are the penultimate record with a 15.6% chance of winning the No. 1 pick.
15.6%, 2.8%, 1.7%, three top picks are drawn, and mathematicians can know how terrible this probability is.
It’s not a mathematician, don’t forget it easily, you can’t figure it out...
...
Richard's current record, when he got the top pick, is actually acceptable, not particularly exaggerated. After all, there was magic before.
This is why Richard made the record as close as possible...
Because if the lottery team has the best record, there is only a 0.5% chance of winning the No. 1 pick. If this odds are really drawn, I am afraid fans will have to wonder if there is anything wrong with it.
Now there is a 2.8% chance, if it is drawn, although it is also exaggerated, but after all it is magic in the end, the fans are still acceptable.
...
The lottery meeting is usually held in mid-May, and there is still about a month before the start.
Richard is completely ready, this time he will draw a No. 1 pick for the Pistons!
This top pick will be the foundation of the Pistons' rise and will be the key to the Pistons' dynasty.
...
Domestically, the finals are already in full swing.
It was still a duel between two old opponents, the Shanghai team against the Bayi team.
Richard is now waiting for a news about Yao Ming...
Under normal circumstances, when the Shanghai team played in the CBA Finals, the basketball management introduced a rule.
"Interim Administrative Measures for the Management of Basketball Players' Foreign-related Transfers"
Even a fool can see the purpose of this management method, and the goal is directed at Yao Ming.
This temporary document clearly stipulates the salary distribution plan for players after transfer.
The basketball association takes 30%, the province where the athlete is located takes 10%, and the General Administration of Sports takes 10%, which cuts 50% of the salary.
Then in the remaining 50% of the salary, I thought all of it was for the players?
Naive...
In the remaining 50% of the salary, athletes, coaches and other active personnel are allocated according to the situation.
Who has merit? That's not...
Many fans have the impression that Yao Ming can only get 50% of the salary, but it is not.
This rule seems to be quite strict, but in fact, the basketball management is not just a rule, because before the Chinese female basketball player Zheng Haixia went to the NBA, he also paid 50% of the salary.
This is justified.
Later, after this matter spread to the NBA, it almost scared people to death, because these NBA players really do not understand how there are such rules.
In the end, under the intervention of the NBA Players Union, Yao Ming’s brokerage team negotiated with the basketball manager and finally set the number at 5% after tax.
How difficult is this negotiation?
It can also be seen from this that the player union can still do something right.
Yao Ming's popularity in the NBA is okay. In fact, there are reasons why other players sympathize with Yao Ming. This is a household name in the NBA.
...
Now that the CBA Finals has started, Richard is waiting for the regulation to be introduced by the basketball management center.
What Richard did not expect was that the basket management center did introduce rules, but it was different from the rules under normal circumstances.
They directly demanded Yao Ming's 5% after-tax salary, and did not ask for a salary of 50% or more as normal.
This makes Richard a little puzzled...
Thinking about it, it seems that this variable is the only reason for the change in regulations.
It is very likely that he issued a military warrant and then caused the basketball center to be cautious when introducing regulations.
Anyway, this is a good thing, a good thing worth celebrating.
At least for now, Richard does not have to worry about Yao Ming anymore. After the introduction of this rule, Yao Ming has entered the NBA with ease, and no obstacles can be found!
"Coach, after finishing this round of the finals, I will be able to go to the United States!" Yao Ming excitedly called Richard on the night of the announcement.
Although it is still necessary to pay 5% of the salary, this seems acceptable to Yao Ming.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Richard said loudly.
"As soon as the finals are over, let's hurry up and do things like visas. Hurry up and come to the United States. Then I will take you to the lottery meeting!"
Richard said excitedly to Yao Ming.
"Coach, the number one pick, are you sure? Don't be selected by other teams..." Yao Ming asked with some worry.
He has basically dealt with domestic affairs now, waiting for Richard to get the top pick and sign himself~EbookFREE.me~ He naturally wants to enter Richard’s subordinates, except for Richard. For a while, he has been helping himself with his ideas. He also knows that joining Richard is his best choice.
After joining Richard, you can adapt yourself to the NBA in the shortest time. In addition, Richard pays more attention to yourself. After the NBA, you will definitely build a team with yourself as the core.
For various reasons, Yao Ming is now determined to join Richard's team.
"Relax, Dayao, you don't know me yet. I never speak empty words. When the time comes, you will go with me. I will let you witness the birth of a miracle!"
Generally speaking, unless the player is on the lottery, otherwise players rarely go to the lottery.
It is impossible for Yao Ming to play the lottery right now because Yao Ming is not a Pistons...
The reason why Richard took Yao Ming to the lottery is because he wanted to maximize the effect of lucky dice!
For the duration of the lucky dice effect, Richard used all of his lucky things on Yao Ming.
For example, the light of the All-Star, such as the transfer of flowers to the wooden pill...
He will take advantage of this time to greatly improve Yao Ming's combat power!
He wants to enter the NBA league with Yao Ming in a state of tremendous prosperity, and strive for a blockbuster and a skyrocket!
Under normal circumstances, Yao Ming's awkward career debut situation, Richard absolutely can not let it appear again.
...
All is ready except for the opportunity!
