()According to the rules of the draft lottery, the team with the worst record has the highest probability of getting the No. 20.00 lottery, which is 76%. All, in the past ten years, only three teams have won the No. [-] pick with the worst record in the season, the Philadelphia [-]ers in [-], LeBron James in [-], and the The Orlando Magic, and the Allen Iverson, LeBron James and Dwight Howard they drafted with this No. [-] pick all brought immediate changes to the team.

If we push forward, the Orlando Magic won the No. [-] pick with the worst record of the season. They used this No. [-] pick to select Shaquille O'Neal. It was after arriving at the Los Angeles Lakers that he became the league's super center.

The success rate of the No. [-] pick is not necessarily the highest, at least the No. [-] pick is comparable to him, but the advantage of the No. [-] lottery is that if you have it, you have the right to choose at will among all the draft players of the year. And other picks can only pick the rest of the front, the number one pick is only the difference between being blind, and the other picks are also lucky or not.

The third-to-last record of the Los Angeles Clippers is enough to guarantee them a very high pick, because even if the top three cannot be guaranteed, if the top three are occupied by other teams, then he is also the sixth pick. What's more, the probability of this is too low. The three picks are all in the back, which is almost lower than their chances of getting the No. [-] pick, so this pick is basically guaranteed to be in the top five.

As long as they can win the top five, the Houston Rockets are already very happy. Although seeing Yao Ming as strong as a bull now makes them regret it, but the sudden increase in the value of the trading chips is enough to make people happy Yes, after all, before the season, no one thought that the Los Angeles Clippers, which had made several big deals, would be so bad.

This pick was traded to the Sonics through Coupard's trade. The Sonics traded Muhammad Heaney and Michael Graber for Coupard and the pick, and now Muhammad Heaney and Michael Graber are almost even As for the second-round pick that the Los Angeles Clippers still got, who knows who was selected and where.

In this way, the Sonics exchanged two useless players and a second-round pick in exchange for the now precious Coupard, not to mention, they also lost a first-round pick that was at least the top five, and then used This first-round pick plus Chris Wilcox was exchanged for a super center like Yao Ming. Adding up one after another, it is equivalent to the Sonics using Mohamed Heaney and Michael Graber plus a second-round pick. Come Kupard and Yao Ming, two first-class and super-first-class centers, nothing more than paying an extra Chris Wilcox and Jared Jeffries, but who cares about them.

To sum it up, the Clippers suffered the most. They got two useless players and a second-round pick, and sent a draft pick with at least the top five picks and a first-class center like Coupard. As for the Houston Rockets , nor can it be said that he took advantage of it. The value of Yao Ming alone is immeasurable, let alone the commercial value behind him.

So after all the calculations, the Rockets still feel that Yao Ming made a loss in this deal, but such a deal is a one-shot deal, there is no reason to ask the other party to make up for regrets afterwards, and they can only comfort themselves in their hearts , I hope that the Los Angeles Clippers' draft pick is high enough, not to mention the No. [-] pick, it will be satisfying to get the top three.

The Supersonics have no dissatisfaction with this, no matter how high the draft pick is, it has nothing to do with the Supersonics, and Yao Ming's performance is satisfactory enough, so what if it is the No. [-] pick , Can the No. [-] pick grow into a super center like Yao Ming?

Although the Supersonics' own draft pick this year is still in their own hands, with the Supersonics record, it is definitely the last place. After the college league ended, Presti has already put half of his mind on the draft. , but among the players this year, there are not many players that Presti is optimistic about, and even if he is optimistic, he will definitely get it in this pick. It will be too difficult to operate like last season. Secondly, it is also easy to disrupt the team's existing lineup. If the existing good atmosphere is destroyed again, the loss outweighs the gain.

Now that it has been determined that the opponent is the Houston Rockets, the coaching staff began to study the Houston Rockets to determine the game strategy. Although the strength of the Rockets should not be enough to cause too much trouble for the Sonics, how do you say it? , everything is possible, although the possibility of the Rockets and the Supersonics is not very high, but losing a game or two is not a good thing.

In the current Rockets, Tracy McGrady has been reimbursed for the entire season. This is a relatively good side. The bad side is that after losing Tracy McGrady, the Rockets have played as a whole. Unlike before, Tracy McGrady alone was above tactics.

However, the current lineup of the Rockets, generally speaking, is more than enough defensively and not enough offensively. However, their head coach Rick Adelman is an offensive head coach. Choosing Adelman as the head coach, and choosing such a coach, but with a defensive lineup, this is not to make it difficult for Adelman's clever wife to cook without rice. The league is going to see the Rockets laugh more.

In the current lineup of the Rockets, Ron Artest, the biggest player, is definitely a player with weak defense against strong offenses. Sean Battier is also a well-known defensive expert in the league. Brent Barry is under. He is a strong offensive and defensive player, but Brent Barry's performance this season is not bad, and he is not in Adelman's eyes, and he rarely plays.

The two point guards are Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry. Abrooks is a standard offensive point guard. He can only do one thing with the ball, which is to go straight to the basket. As for defense, he doesn't have that hobby at all. Ellori can be said to have both offense and defense. No matter how short he is or how fat he is, he is not a defensive player, but an offensive player.

But among the inside players, Chris Wilcox's strength is mainly reflected in the defense, Luis Scola is mainly offensive, and can barely be used as the core of the inside offensive, the other is Chuck Hayes and Di Kembeh Mutombo, these two people need not be mentioned, only Carl Landry's offense is not bad.

Jared Jeffries is strong in offense and weak in defense, but Adelman also doesn't like it. He prefers an eight-man rotation lineup, so the Rockets' lineup in the regular season is to start Chris Wilcox, Lewis Cora, Sean Battier, Ron Artest, Aaron Brooks, the substitutes are Kyle Lowry, Carl Landry and Chuck Hayes. Although the others can play, they are not in the same position. Firm, with Adelman's stubbornness, there shouldn't be any major changes to the lineup.

After the end of the regular season, there was only one day off before the playoffs began. The Rockets flew directly from Portland to Seattle for adaptive training. The team soon waited for the first game of the playoffs, but the game was so easy that it was hard to believe that this was a playoffs.
