Chapter 181 Random entry into the draft!The New York Knicks pick is! ? (4K, ask for a monthly pass)

"what?"

America.

new York.

Su Han, who was casually watching the live broadcast of the NBA Draft at home, froze for a moment.

What's happening here?
The Celtics selected Tracy McGrady with the sixth pick?
in the original timeline.

Green Cay will choose Rick Pitino's lover-Ron Mercer at this pick.

Tracy McGrady would have been selected by the Toronto Raptors with the ninth overall pick.

Although in this timeline, the ninth overall pick does not belong to the Raptors.

But McGrady was selected by the Celtics with the sixth overall pick, so the changes are a bit too big, right?

In this way. ． ．
Didn't the Celtics make up:

Chauncey Billups + Allen Iverson + Tracy McGrady backcourt?

Good guy.

It looks pretty intimidating.

"Boston Celtics select Tracy McGrady, a high school student from Florida State, with the sixth pick!"

"They chose to align with talent, and their choice at the sixth pick was unexpected!"

"Another high school rookie!!"

"We have welcomed lottery high school students in the draft for many years in a row!"

In [-], high school student Kevin Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the lottery.

In [-], high school student Kobe Bryant was selected by the Charlotte Hornets in the lottery.

In [-], high school student Tracy McGrady was selected by the Boston Celtics in the lottery!

Shot back to Madison Gardens.

The commentator on the scene unexpectedly doubled:
"Based on what we heard before the draft, they were infinitely close to drafting Ron Mercer."

"You know, Rick Pitino, the head coach of the Boston Celtics next season, is Ron Mercer's college coach!"

"I believe that even Ron Mercer, who was sitting off the court, didn't expect that his coach in college didn't choose him!"

As the narrator said.

offstage.

They have already started various celebrations for the selected Mercer, and the whole person is sluggish!

What is the situation now?

When he tried out with the Celtics, coach Rick Pitino gave himself a draft promise!

How did you get to the draft conference?

Everything changed?
In fact.

Rick Pitino really wants to choose his favorite disciple in this pick.

He even asked Auerbach for instructions when submitting the draft results.

Unfortunately.

Ron Mercer was not named in the cardinal's plans.

For Auerbach.

He needs to select more valuable chips in the [-] draft.

McGrady's potential value is undoubtedly much higher than that of Ron Mercer.

not to mention.

Even if McGrady in Plan A didn't sell at a higher price.

McGrady also has a considerable amount of weight in Auerbach's Plan B.

"Call Philadelphia."

After selecting McGrady.

Sitting backstage at the draft, Auerbach directed Rick Pitino: "Tell them about our offer."

"Understood, Bishop!"

Rick Pitino quickly left his protégé behind.

Compared to Ron Mercer, Rick Pitino is more willing to realize the great revival of the Boston Celtics!
Followed by.

Pitino, who called the management of the Philadelphia [-]ers, opened his mouth and said:

You refer to Buddha, sell it?

"What?"

Anyone answering the phone here in Philadelphia is dumbfounded.

Brother Tim Duncan has not warmed up his hands, you have already started quoting, right?

Don't even think about it.

[-] people answered at the speed of light:
I introduce Buddha?

Not for sale!

"We'd love Chauncey Billups and Tracy McGrady..."

Rick Pitino wasn't willing to give up.

Continue to throw out the chips in your hand.

Yes.

Whether it's McGrady, a high school rookie they unexpectedly selected with the sixth overall pick, or Billups with the third overall pick.

They are all just chips in the hands of Auerbach.

The Celtics are going to use these two young people full of potential to pack stud Tim Duncan together!
If these two are not enough. ． ．

Auerbach doesn't mind at all that the team's first-round picks for many years to come will be studded together!

As long as the Philadelphia [-]ers nod.

Except for Allen Iverson, everything is a bargaining chip that can be put on the shelf.

Even the coach Rick Pitino-it's just this bargaining chip, only Auerbach himself knows it.

of course.

If the Philadelphia [-]ers really even want to pack away Allen Iverson.

It's not that Auerbach won't consider it.

Again:
As long as the Philadelphia [-]ers nod!
That's all.

"Sorry, man, Tim Duncan's not for sale."

The [-]ers general manager on the other end of the phone vetoed without hesitation: "Your bargaining chips are very tempting, but except for Su Han, no one can shake TD's status as a non-sale product."

Look across the league.

Only Su Han can let the [-]ers send Duncan away!

other people?
No talk!

So. ． ．What if you move out of Jordan?

Sorry.

This wave, this wave is Jordan coming!

"Right, Rick..."

On the other end of the phone, Rick Pitino seemed to be discussing countermeasures with someone.

The general manager of the [-]ers on the other end of the phone said directly, "We are still going to call you."

"Stephen Marbury + draft pick trade Allen Iverson, what do you think?"

"Hey Hey hey???"

Hearing the beeping sound of hanging up on the other end of the phone, the general manager of the [-]ers put away the phone contentedly.

joke.

Dare to quote our Tim Duncan?

Backhand to dig your Allen Iverson!

"Negotiations failed..."

the other side.

Celtic backstage.

Rick Pitino was a little helpless: "They rejected our offer and offered Allen backhand!"

Say something.

If it was Duncan who changed Iverson, then it would be changed.

The key is that you traded Marbury for Iverson?

Isn't this nonsense! ?

"..."

Auerbach was silent.

It has performed badly for two consecutive years, and missed Su Han + Duncan for two consecutive years.

This is a bit of a blow to the Cardinal!
The Celtics weren't completely out of voice, though.

Auerbach had news on hand.

When the trading market opens.

The Celtics will also use the young talents selected in the [-] draft to make another big fortune!
The [-] draft continues.

After McGrady was selected away.

In the first round of [-], there were no players worthy of Su Han's attention.

what is interesting.

After McGrady, Ron Mercer, who was selected with the seventh overall pick, made some very hostile remarks towards McGrady.

it looks.

He was very dissatisfied with the Celtics for giving up on himself and choosing a high school student.

Many media have also begun to manipulate the love-hate relationship between Mercer and McGrady.

no way.

Who made the [-] draft too few topics?
When the Minnesota Timberwolves were forced to cover the Knicks with their last pick in the first round for a whole season, they made a choice.

The [-] NBA Draft entered the second-round selection stage.

Although the New York Knicks did not have a first-round pick, their second-round pick was also sent to the Toronto Raptors in Su Han's trade.

But they still have a second-round pick from the Toronto Raptors.

The position of this second-round pick is quite high, at No. [-].

"Who should we choose?"

Knicks draft backstage.

The team's scouts were still on vacation two days ago, and they didn't care about any second-round picks worth picking in [-].

after all. ． ．

The first-round picks are all over the brakes.

Can there be any good goods in the second round?

"I'll ask the boss."

General manager Ernie Grunfeld was also at a loss.

He ultimately chose to call James Dolan.

Maybe Dolan has any young players in his second-round pick list?
Use an innocuous second-round pick to slap the team owner's rainbow farts.

This Ernie Grunfeld is definitely full of emotional intelligence.

"Ask Su Han!"

James Dolan said directly: "Give him the choice!"

As the number one contributor to helping the team win the championship.

Dolan directly gave Su Han the right to choose the second-round pick!
Do not ask.

Asking is capricious!
Isn't it just a second-round pick?
Whatever Su Han chooses!
"pass it to me?"

Su Han, who had already turned off the TV, was quite surprised when he saw the content of the text message on his mobile phone.

Can you still have your own business here?

But think about it carefully.

Among the second-round picks in [-], it seems that there is really a high-quality player who can be selected and used!
After confirming that there is no butterfly effect that leads to the election of the hot guy.

Su Han quickly edited a player's name and sent it to Ernie Grunfeld's cell phone.

"General Manager, it's time for us to make a choice!"

Backstage at the Madison Gardens draft.

The Knicks' scouting team urged the team's general manager to make a choice.

"Got it, just follow Su Han's choice!"

According to the content of the text message, Grunfeld made the Knicks' choice at No. [-].

"In the [-] NBA Draft, with the [-]th overall pick, the New York Knicks selected—"

In the second round of the draft, it was no longer David Stern, but the vice president of the NBA: "Stephen Jackson!"

"From Butler Community College!"

"WOOOW!!???"

When the NBA vice president read Stephen Jackson's name.

Madison Garden, which had been silent all night, erupted in bursts of exclamations!
Stephen Jackson?
Who?
Butler Community College?
Isn't this Nima a high school? !

Which means: The New York Knicks took a high school kid with a second-round pick?

In recent years, high school drafts have been hot, and the Knicks have joined in the fun, right?
"The one who stepped on the horse is also an NBA player!!"

at the same time.

At home, I was about to watch Stephen Jackson, who fell asleep, and jumped up from the sofa with a growl: "I'm going to play for the Knicks!!"

Go to Nima's college life!

All the teams that didn't choose themselves before will die! !

Brother is going to the New York Knicks to hug Su Han's thigh to win the championship! !
Looking at the poster on the wall of his room - the picture of Su Han Zhengyi punching KO Dennis Rodman.

Stephen Jackson's fists clenched even stronger!
etc. ． ．

Why are the shots of Su Han KO Rodman sold as posters?

the reason is simple.

Because the fans love it!
To know.

In the field of NBA posters this year, the best selling and hottest is this poster of Su Han KO Rodman!

Ranked second is the scene of Michael Jordan slipping and falling in front of Su Han.

The third one, that is the picture of Su Han waiting for the championship + FMVP trophy with both hands!
After Stephen Jackson was drafted.

For the follow-up content of the [-] draft, there is absolutely no need to continue to submerge.

July [-], US time.

NBA free agent + trading market, officially opened!
The eyes of the media all over the world are directly focused on Chicago!
As early as after the Bulls were eliminated, the news about the disintegration of this [-]-win championship team has already spread.

And Michael Jordan's contract extension with the Chicago Bulls had problems;

Scottie Pippen has yet to undergo back surgery;
Dennis Rodman never returned to Chicago after the season;

And - after all the topics such as the outbreak of conflicts between Phil Jackson and Jerry Krause were exposed.

The whole world is waiting for:

The moment the Chicago Bulls truly disintegrated!
"I think we've got to talk, Scotty."

Somewhere in Chicago.

Bulls general manager Jerry Krause is negotiating with Scottie Pippen: "If we want to return to the top next season, you have to undergo back surgery this summer."

"You've dragged on for most of the season, and it even affected your performance in the conference finals!"

Jerry Krause started to put pressure on Pippen with the Bulls being eliminated.

Although the Bulls management's tolerance for Pippen has reached its limit.

But they still hope to preserve Choppy's roots.

"If you want me to have surgery in the summer, give me a whole new contract."

Pippen was still unmoved: "That guy Dennis should get out with [-] million dollars, and I deserve the [-] million dollars more than him."

Plus Pippen's current salary of [-] million.

In fact, what he really offered was a new contract with an annual salary of [-] million!
"You know, Jerry, I'm worth at least fifteen million."

Scottie Pippen even said: "I'm already giving you face, [-] million is the lowest price."

That is, the Bulls did not defend their title last season.

Otherwise, the annual salary of [-] million is the lowest!

"But we just lost the championship because of your back injury."

Jerry Krause was a little angry: "We need to spend more money to reinforce, and what you should do is to heal your waist injury during this contract period!"

"If there is no $1000 million..."

then.

Pi Erye directly threw out the famous sentence through the ages: "What should I use for surgery?!"

good guy! ! !
Jerry Krause, who heard Pippen's words, was about to flip the table.

You TM need 1000 million to go for surgery, right?
"So... there's nothing to talk about?"

Jerry Krause said in a low voice: "You have to think clearly, we just lost the championship because of your damn waist."

"Of course we can go on, Jerry."

The atmosphere has reached this level.

Scottie Pippen couldn't get off the stage, so he could only continue to hold: "But it will cost more."
