Chapter 40 The 1.7% Miracle

The NBA's No. [-] pick, theoretically speaking, as long as you have this year's first-round pick and have not entered the playoffs, it is possible to get it.

However, the chances of the team with the best record in the lottery and the team with the worst record in the lottery can be said to be very different.

This year, the Warriors have only a 0.5% chance of winning the No. [-] pick.

The Heat, with the worst performance, has a full 25% chance of winning the No. 50 pick this year, [-] times that of the Warriors.

Pat Riley is already fantasizing about Rose + Wade or Wade + Beasley in the backcourt.

They sent the team boss Wade to participate in the lottery.

Other teams also sent out their top cards one after another. For example, the Sonics let Durant, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, come to the scene before he finished gaining muscle.

The Bulls symbolically sent their team's general manager to the scene.

They have only a 1.7% chance of winning the No. 98.3 pick this year, which means they have a [-]% chance of winning the ninth overall pick based on record ranking.

Wade came to the scene today in a suit, his big cheeks were bulging, obviously he was in a good mood.

Both Rose and Beasley are now urgently needed talents for the Heat, but Pat Riley seems to be more inclined to Memphis guard Derek Rose.

Wade was actually a little upset because he had watched Rose's games. Rose's style of play was very similar to his.

In Wade's mind, Michael Beasley is the most suitable Pippen for him. He can do three things and four things, and has excellent rebounding ability. He averaged a terrifying 30 points and 12 rebounds per game in the NCAA.

The draft lottery will begin soon.

There is no surprise, the Warriors, Trail Blazers, Kings, Pacers, and Nets won the No. 14-10 picks in turn.

However, when it came to the ninth overall pick, what was displayed on the big screen was not the Bulls that should be ranked here.

But the Bobcats with the eighth-worst record.

The Bulls general manager was ecstatic.

This means that the Bulls won the top three picks!
There was a commotion at the scene, and everyone looked at the place where the general manager of the Bulls was lucky.

Bobcats, Bucks, Clippers, Knicks, Grizzlies, the remaining five picks are no surprises.

However, when the No. [-] pick did not appear in the Timberwolves, who should have been there, there was another commotion on the scene.

The Supersonics, which ranked second to last in record, won the fourth pick!

This means that both the Timberwolves and the Bulls have won the top three picks!
The suspense continued to be revealed, and the name of Timberwolves appeared on the position of the lottery.

The fourth is changed to the third, which is not bad, especially when the quality of this year's rookies is particularly high, one more pick is one more choice.

Then came the second pick that revealed the suspense.

Wade was no longer as relaxed as he was at the beginning, his big cheeks were tightly pressed together, and he focused on the big screen.

"The No. 2008 pick in the 2009-[-] NBA Draft was..."

With Stern's announcement, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became tense.

"Miami Heat! Congratulations!"

Wade's eyes dimmed instantly, and the Bulls general manager stood up excitedly from his chair.

this means--

"The No. 2008 pick in the 2009-[-] NBA Draft is the Chicago Bulls! Congratulations!"

Stern didn't hold back, and directly shouted out the ownership of the No. [-] lottery.

1.7% probability!
The Bulls are undoubtedly the biggest winner of this offseason!

Li Ran and Rose sat at home and watched the broadcast of the draft lottery. After seeing the Bulls winning the No. [-] lottery with a very low probability as in the original history, the corners of Li Ran's mouth rose.

It seems that this world has not been affected too much by this butterfly.

But Rose's expression was not very good.

"What's the matter? Isn't it good to play for your hometown? We are the twin stars of Illinois." Seeing Rose's expression, Li Ran was a little puzzled.

"Li, I think my champion should be gone."

Ross said dejectedly.

"why?"

"The Bulls have too many perimeters. Ben Gordon is even playing the sixth man. There is no place for me. The more suitable Bulls must be Michael Beasley."

Ben Gordon is the Bulls' leading scorer this season, but was put on the bench by the coach to play the sixth man. The reason is indeed that the Bulls have too many outside players.

The presence of players like Larry Hughes, Kirk Hinrich, and Luol Deng overwhelmed the Bulls outside.

Li Ran, who already knew the result, didn't care.

"What should be yours is yours. Don't worry. In my opinion, ten Ben Gordons are not as good as one Derrick Rose."

There was a very forced smile on the corner of Rose's mouth, he knew that his good brother was comforting him.

"Wait until June 26th, you'll know." Li Ran saw that Ross didn't believe him, so he walked over and patted him.

"Li, what do you think your pick is?" Ross asked Li Ran in a better mood.

"I don't know either, let it be."

Li Ran had a premonition in his heart that although he played very well in the NCAA, his draft pick would not be very high.

After all, with his serious injury experience there, it is certainly impossible for a team to choose him with a very high pick.

This year's playoffs seem a little different from previous years but familiar.

The Rockets, which had the Yao-Mike combination, once again fell at the feet of the Jazz.

Yao Ming's stress fracture in February directly cost him the season, but for the upcoming Olympic Games, Yao Ming chose implant surgery, preparing to make a forced comeback this summer.

Only the Rockets led by Tracy McGrady met their old bitter Jazz in the first round.

McGrady, who has to play in a closed game, tried his best in every game, and only brought two victories to the team.

But his closure of these six games had a devastating impact on his career.

The No. [-] Celtics in the East that make up the Big Three are not as smooth as their rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers where the Mamba snake is located.

Kobe led the team to easily sweep the Nuggets with golden guns in the first round without bloodshed.

The Celtics didn't have a hard time defeating the eighth-ranked Eagles in the East until Game [-].

In the second round, the Lakers played against the Jazz, who won the Rockets, and sent them away 4-2 with joy, showing their dominance.

The Celtics faced the comeback and the knights led by the aggressive little emperor Ah Tan, and they fought seven more fierce battles.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics played against the Pistons, who lacked Big Ben.

In the Western Conference finals, the Lakers faced the defending champion Spurs.

急于证明自己的科比打疯了，他在西部决赛场均得到29.2分5.6篮板3.8助攻，虽然老邓头不甘示弱的场均砍下22.7分17.4篮板4.8助攻，但是还是被湖人干净利落的4-1拿下。

The Celtics' three veterans are also getting better, and they beat the Pistons 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

After a lapse of 20 years, the NBA once again ushered in the era of the yellow-green battle.
