I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 218 Your Son Is In My Hands (Fifth)
With the Lakers winning the championship in the 2009-2010 season, the NBA this season has completely come to an end.

All kinds of awards went to different parties. Kobe won the championship and the finals MVP, and became the biggest winner of the season together with the Lakers.

As expected, LeBron James won the heavyweight individual award of regular season MVP, and he won it again and again.

But the brittle defeat in the semifinals of the playoffs put James at a major crossroads in his life.

After the finals, the offseason "Where is James going" will become a big drama.

The best rookie was given to the king's Evans, and the best defensive player was Dwight Howard.

There are also various honors such as the best team and the best defensive first team, which have become the talk and arguments of the offseason and future fans and media to argue about the historical status.

The NBA has experienced a crisis in revenue this season, and many teams are struggling to make ends meet.

The attendance rate of the arena has repeatedly hit new lows, and the ratings have also been declining all the way. Fortunately, the yellow-green battle in the finals has restored some popularity to the league.

Kobe avenged the Celtics and won two consecutive championships, which also made the Lakers fans celebrate the New Year.

The prestige, expected income, and market value of the Lakers rose further to reach another peak in the new century.

The end of this season also means that the first decade of the 21st century is over.

The 10 years and 11 seasons of the NBA started with the Lakers winning the championship in 2000 and ended with the Lakers winning the championship in 2010.

The Zijin Army has entered the finals 7 times and won 5 championships. It is undoubtedly the biggest winner in the past 10 years and has achieved the honor of being the number one giant in the NBA.

Kobe holds five championships and two FMVPs, and he is in the limelight for a while, crowned the current NBA No.1.

This summer is undoubtedly the best summer for the Lakers and Lakers fans.

It's just that time never stops for any beauty, it just rushes forward to the next destination.

On June 6, at Madison Square Garden, the annual draft kicked off again.

Representing the symbol of fresh blood entering the league, the draft will always be full of hope.

In fact, 10 years ago, that is, in 2000, the draft was the lowest in history.

This year's draft is also known as the draft year, and there is no top superstar who can change the pattern by entering the league.

The overall quality feels a little ordinary, not to mention those that meet once in 50 years and once in 20 years, and those that meet once in ten years are rare.

Of course, it is still unknown whether these young people can play well in the future.

The young people are of course not convinced by the evaluation of the young draft in the outside world.

Each of them is eager to enter the league and make a fortune, win a championship in a city, become a city hero, and be able to erect their statues at the entrance of the arena.

Most of these young people were born around 1990, and their adolescence was the time when Bull Jordan, Lakers O'Neal, and Kobe were fighting for hegemony.

Therefore, their desire to make contributions is also very strong, and the power of role models is infinite.

If you were a player in the 50s and 60s, many of them had much simpler ideas, just to survive.

Many players in the 70s and 80s were troubled by violence and drugs, which was influenced by the social environment and atmosphere at that time.

The new generation of players is obviously much luckier. The NBA has given the best idols to chase their dreams.

With the first pick in the first round, the Washington Wizards selected University of Kentucky point guard John Wall.

This is the player with the highest calls for the No. [-] pick in this year's draft.

The No. [-] pick in the NBA has been a point guard for three consecutive years, and the era of point guards has come.

The Philadelphia 76ers took Evan Turner, small forward, with the second overall pick.

The Nets use the No. [-] pick to choose a power forward, Favors.

Overall, the top three picks are somewhat mediocre.

Then the Kings took Cousins, and the Warriors took Udo... until the ninth pick, the Clippers' pick.

This time, vice president Adam Silva came to the Clippers' work area ahead of time and said, "Sachs, please tell me your candidates early this year, otherwise I will never end with you."

Sachs spread his hands and said, "One minute ago, Mr. Smart called to give instructions, and we have already made a choice."

With that said, Sachs handed the white envelope of the team's candidates to Silva, and Silva took it and reconfirmed that there was no problem, and then handed it to Stern.

Stern was relieved to see that there were no moths in Min Congda's place. He went to the stage and opened the envelope, reading:
"In the 2010 draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Paul George from the University of Fresno with the ninth overall pick!"

When Paul George in the audience heard the draft results, he hugged his father excitedly, then walked onto the stage to shake hands with Stern, and put on the Clippers cap.

He can finally stay in Los Angeles, and it's convenient for his father and sister to watch the game, which is great.

After Min Congda saw George being picked in the draft office of the Clippers, he let out a sigh of relief, applauded, and said, "Very good, the draft work is over perfectly, get off work."

Piombetty hurriedly said, "Hey, Mr. Smart, there are still two more lottery signs, so you're off work?"

Min Congda said: "Isn't there someone for the next two lots?"

"But what if someone chooses to leave? What if there are still people who want to trade."

"If you are selected, you will use the backup, and all transactions will be rejected. Well, you are busy and I want to go home and rest."

Tonight, Min Congda made an appointment to attend a party with Daddario, so he has no intention of staying here any longer.

Winning Paul George is considered to be the completion of the task. After the 19th pick and the 51st pick, can you expect to pick anything good in the draft year?

He will be handed over to Piombetti to complete. He will be selected and signed for two years. If he plays well, he will be sent away.

Seeing Min Congda leave, Piombetty called Sachs and said, "I'm Piombetty, Mr. Smart is off work, and I'll be the next pick... 19th pick, Bledsoe from the University of Kentucky is tentatively selected. "

Meanwhile, in the Indiana Pacers' draft office, Larry Bird was on the verge of going crazy.

They were the tenth pick. They originally wanted to choose Paul George, but they were cut off by the Clippers.

Bird hadn't received any news before, and there was no news from inside the Clippers. When did they become so monolithic?

With only 2 minutes to think, Bird could only take Aminu in tenth place, and then immediately called the Clippers draft office.

"Hello, Smart? I'm Larry Bird... no? You're Piombetty? Where's your general manager? Off work? Why is he off work? I want to propose a deal...no deal? I Not even talking about chips... Where's that Olshey guy? What? He went to China? You sons of bitches!"

Bird hung up the phone angrily. He knew that Piombetty was the head of scouting and had no say in the deal.

He thought for a while, then called the Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy, and said: "Mike, this is Larry Bird, and I want to propose a deal. I know you are no longer the team manager, but you still have Don’t you have the right to speak? I want to pack Aminu and your son and send them to the Clippers for Paul George...What? You don’t have the right to suggest? You didn’t last season...Do you know that your son is in my hands !"

Dunleavy Sr.'s son Mike Dunleavy Jr. played for the Pacers.

Old Deng never expected that his son would become a bargaining chip, Bird must be crazy.

The threat was of course useless because old Dunleavy was home on vacation with his son.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Deng thought to himself: "Xie Te, why are you all angry at me for the person Smart chose! I have provoked someone!"

Last season, Curry was scolded by Nelson. This season, George was threatened by Bird.

Lao Deng really felt that he was innocent.
