NBA: Starting with the Devil’s Eyes

On the stage of the draft draw, David Stern glanced at the representatives of the various teams sitting in the audience.

This was followed by a lottery ceremony.

The order of the lotto draw is from the last in the lotto area to the top winner.

Moreover, there are now a total of 27 teams in the NBA, and in addition to the 16 teams that have made the playoffs, there are only 11 teams left that have not made it to the playoffs.

In other words, the current lotto area is actually the top 11 picks.

"Congratulations to the Houston Rockets for their 11th pick. "

David Stern began announcing draft picks.

"Congratulations to the Atlanta Hawks for their 10th pick..."

"Congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets for their No. 4 pick. "

While the other draft picks were all announced, none of the Timberwolves, Magic, or Lakers drafts were announced.

At this time, everyone's attention is focused on the Timberwolves, Magic, and the Lakers.

They want to know how this next pick will be given to these three teams.

"The third pick is..."

Stern looked at the note in his hand and said, "Orlando Magic!"

"Shet!"

When Pat Williams, the general manager of the Magic, heard Stern's announcement, he slammed his desk with some anger.

Of course, under the live camera, his amplitude is very small.

At the same time, a smile appeared on his face.

Acting, acting skills are very important!

"The second pick is..."

"Los Angeles Lakers!"

Then don't think about it, it must be the Timberwolves who got the top pick.

When Jerry West heard the news of Stern's announcement, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Immediately, however, began to greet Stern's family frantically.

Nima's, what is Lao Tzu rotten for, can you not know?

In order to choose Lu Yu!

Now, how the hell did you sign the top pick to the Timberwolves?

I, the Purple Lakers, how do I rise?

Jerry West was going crazy at this point.

Could it be that Lu Yu is about to float in front of his eyes?

No 25, absolutely not!!

"The No. 1 pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

When Timberwolves general manager Jack McCloskey looked very shocked at this time.

Damn, I didn't even dare to think about the champion signing.

You really signed the champion to our Timberwolves??

At this time, he suppressed the consternation in his heart, stood up with a smile, and greeted the people around him.

Looking at the smile on Jack McCloskey's face, Jerry West and Pat Williams both wanted to pounce on Jack McCloskey and punch him.

"I didn't expect it to be the Timberwolves who won the first pick. "

In front of the TV, Lu Yu shook his head, in his memory, the 1992 champion should be the Magic team.

If memory serves, the second pick was the Charlotte Hornets.

The Timberwolves were just the third pick

But his arrival still changed history.

The Los Angeles Lakers went crazy and changed history.

"So that means that I am most likely going to the Timberwolves?" Lu Yu asked.

That place in Minneapolis is really not very good.

Jeff Austin also looked at Lu Yu and said, "I don't recommend you go to Minnesota. "

"If we could, I think we'd better go to Los Angeles. "

Lu Yu smiled:

"It's not up to us where we go, it's up to those teams to choose us or not. "

Jeff Austin looked at Lu Yu and asked, "If you want to go to Los Angeles, I'll contact Jerry West, maybe there's a play." "

Lu Yu nodded: "Then you go and talk to him." "

It's definitely better to go to Los Angeles than to Minnesota.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the whole country, with a developed economy and a very good climate.

The other point is that the exposure is too high.

Lu Yu has now created his own brand, and he must have a high enough exposure.

In this way, you can make your brand more famous.

Minnesota, not in this condition.

If he could go to Los Angeles, the starting point of his business empire would be higher.

At this point, the madman pursed his lips and said:

"Damn, you can even pick a place yourself, but it's a pity that I'm still worried about my draft prospects!"

"Woo, why didn't I get much of a draft pick after I won the championship?"

Before the start of the season, the Mad Men's draft prediction pick was the end of the first round.

Now, his draft projection is around 20 picks in the first round.

It's really not much of a lift.

And Horry has a good draft prospect because of his space battery attributes, and he has already reached the lotto zone.

Jeff Austin looked at the madman and Horry.

There is no way, everyone has a different situation.

Lu Yu played really well in college, and his talent was indeed very high.

So he's now an ironclad top three.

And Madman and Horry still need to go to various teams to try out and show their talent for these teams.

After a few more words with the three of them, Jeff Austin went to contact Jerry West.

"Hello Mr. West, I'm Lu Yu's agent, Jeff Austin. "

When Austin's phone call came, Jerry West said with some dejection:

"It seems that Lu Yu wants to come to our Lakers. "

"It's natural, Los Angeles is a million times better than next year's place in Apolis. "

"We hope that if you can, you can choose Lu Yu with the second pick. "

When Jerry West heard this, he said with some regret: "I'm afraid that before we choose Lu Yu, the Timberwolves will choose Lu Yu." "

"Lu Yu's talent is obvious, they will definitely choose Lu Yu. "

Austin said, "Then I hope you can use all methods to obtain Lu Yu." "

West was silent for a moment and said, "I'll try it." "

After saying that, the two of them hung up the phone.

How do I try to get the first pick with the second pick?

It seems that there is only a transaction...

Jerry West's eyes calmed, and something was going on in his head.

In the next period of time, Lu Yu and the three of them began to go to various teams for trials, and they were also constantly training.

There are two people who need to go to more teams.

Crazy because the draft prediction is in the mid-20s.

So, Austin followed him directly and ran all 27 teams in the United States.

And Robert Horry, according to Austin's estimates, only needs to try out the top 15.

As for Lu Yu's side, he only needs to try out the top five teams.

But in fact, Lu Yu only went to four teams.

He didn't go to the Timberwolves, who were the No. 1 pick in the draft.

At this point, Timberwolves general manager Jack McCloskey was furious.

"What? His agent said he didn't want to come to Minnesota?"

"Yes sir, his agent, Jeff Austin, said he wouldn't let his employer come to our place. "

"He defends the interests of his employer!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

Jack McCloskey sneered, "Hehe, what a competent agent!"

"But what if I'm going to draft him in the draft?"

"It's kind of you refusing to report!"

......

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is June 24 draft night.

Lu Yu had already used up the [Training Card] during this time.

His fusion level is now at 90%.

Only 10% is missing, and you can perfectly integrate the template.

This day is the day when the draft officially begins.

Lu Yu wore a handsome suit and walked into the draft hall.

At this time, there are also many players who need to participate in the draft this year.

But after Lu Yu looked around, he found that Kristen Lightner did not come.

Because just two days ago, Kristen Lightner went to the Olympics for the United States Dream Team.

He didn't come to the draft.

Before the draft begins, all the teams are discussing the details of the next draft in the draft battle hut of each team.

"Call the Timberwolves, we're going to open a trade!"

In all of the recent interviews, Timberwolves general manager Jake McCloskey has made it very clear that they will pick Lu Yu in the first pick.

They claim that Lu Yu will be the best rookie in the history of the Timberwolves!

Jerry West really wants Lu Yu, and his original intention is to get Lu Yu.

So before the draft officially opened, he decided to trade the Timberwolves.

"Hey, Jerry. "

Jack McCloskey took the phone and said into the microphone.

"We want to trade the No. 1 pick," West said. "

"Oh, as far as I know, your second order is not low, you don't need to trade. "

"I know you want Lu Yu, but if you think about it, Lu Yu doesn't want to go to the Timberwolves at all, even if you choose him, he will have some emotions. "

"So what? There's absolutely no way he's going to refuse to report anyway. "

"I think you can think about it, the chips I've got here are pretty good. And I think whether it's Leitner or O'Neill, or even Alonzo Mourning, they're all good choices. "

Jerry West continues:

"Leitner was even selected by the Dream Team for the Olympics, and his quality is absolutely amazing. "

"How versatile is his skills, I'm sure he went to your Timberwolves tryout before, didn't you notice Leitner's all-round skills?"

Jack McCloskey said, "Let's talk about your chips first." "

West laughed, "Except for Sam Perkins and James Worthy, you pick whatever." "

Hearing Jerry West say this, Jack McCloskey was immediately a little moved.

That's a Lakers player.

The strength of the players in the Lakers team is very good.

This is an opportunity for the Timberwolves.

But as a general manager, he knows how to extract the most out of his deals.

"I want James Worthy. "

Jerry West said, "I said you could pick apart from James Worthy and Sam Perkins. "

"No, I'm going to want James Worthy!"

"It's impossible!" West sternly refused.

"Okay, then I want Sam Perkins, and if you refuse, then there's no need for us to continue talking. "

When Jack McCloskey said Sam Perkins' name, West's eyes lit up, and it was a sly gaze.

For him, James Worthy is still as untradeable as possible.

But Sam Perkins is completely tradable.

First of all, Perkins is not from the Lakers.

Second, Perkins has been opposing the Lakers' plan to swing since the Lakers started to swing badly.

If you continue to keep him in the team, maybe there will be some kind of moth. 713

"Also, shouldn't the draft picks be taken out a little bit as well?"

Jack McCloskey said.

"Yes! We can come up with a second-round pick from 1993. "

Jack McCloskey yelled, "Hey, man, you know, at least a 1993 first-round pick!"

"Okay!" West agreed, and said, "If you have any other conditions, I won't promise you again, this is our limit." "

"And just like that, we made a deal. "

Jack McCloskey said with a smile.

Exchanging the first pick for the second pick doesn't really lose much.

You know, he also grabbed a power forward who averaged 16+8 per game, and a 1993 first-round pick.

He is willing to call this transaction a robbery transaction!

How bad will the Lakers be next year after losing Sam Perkins?

Lu Yu is a rookie who can directly bring the Lakers to the playoffs?

According to Jack McCloskey's judgment, that first-round pick in 1993 was at least a top-10 pick!

Timberwolves This is Qin Shi Huang touching the electric door, winning hemp!

Trades cannot be made early and must wait until after the start of the draft.

They need to trade players on a player-by-player basis after their respective drafts.

If it was a trade based on draft picks, the 1993 first-round pick Timberwolves wouldn't have gotten it.

Because the NBA allows trading away first-round picks for two years in a row.

After Jack McCloskey hung up West's phone.

He received another call from the Magic team.

But the Magic's chips are not sincere enough.

They were reluctant to give up a first-round pick in 1993.

So Jack McCloskey decisively hung up the phone.

Immediately afterward, another call came in.

"Celtic calls?" Jack McCloskey frowned as he took the microphone.

The Celtics have the 21st pick this year.

What's the matter, they still plan to trade the Timberwolves with the 21st pick?

Lakers draft war room.

Jerry West always felt like something was missing.

Yes, is Auerbach's old silver coin going to be sold?

He had a flash of inspiration, and remembered that the old silver coin of Auerbach had also seen Lu Yu's game!

Subsequently, the Celtics are estimated to have also moved.

Moreover, Bird retired at the end of the season.

The Celtics need to rebuild now!

If Lu Yu can be chosen, the Celtic will rebuild much faster.

"Old silver coin, I advise you to give me an An's share, don't jump out and disgust me...".
