Nba: Starting With The Eye Of The Devil
58. Qin Shihuang Touches The Switch: The Win Is Numb, And The Old Silver Coin Auerbach Makes A Move!
On the stage of the draft lottery, David Stern glanced at the representatives of each team sitting in the audience.
Then the draw ceremony began.
The order of the lottery draw is from the last in the lottery area to the top pick.
Moreover, there are currently 27 teams in the NBA. Except for the 16 teams that entered the playoffs, there are still 11 teams that did not make it to the playoffs.
In other words, the current lottery area is actually the top 11 picks.
"Congratulations to the Houston Rockets for the 11th pick."
David Stern began to announce the draft pick.
"Congratulations to the Atlanta Hawks for the 10th overall pick. …."
"Congratulations to the Charlotte Hornets for the 4th overall pick."
When the other draft picks were all announced, the draft picks of the Timberwolves, Magic, and Lakers did not start to be announced.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the Timberwolves, Magic, and Lakers.
They want to know how the next pick will be given to these three teams?
"The one who got the No. 3 pick was..."
Stern looked at the note in his hand and said, "Orlando Magic!"
"Shet!"
After hearing the news announced by Stern, the general manager of the Magic, Pat Williams, hammered his own table angrily.
Of course, under the live broadcast of the camera, his range is very small.
At the same time, a smile appeared on his face.
Acting, acting is very important!
"The No. 2 pick is..."
"Los Angeles Lakers!"
Don't think about it, it must be the Timberwolves who got the No. 1 pick.
After Jerry West heard the news announced by Stern, a smile appeared on his face for the first time.
But, immediately the frantic greeting of Stern's family began.
Damn it, why don't you know why I messed up?
The reason is to choose Lu Yu!
Now, you fucking signed the No. 1 pick to the Timberwolves?
How can my Zijin Lakers rise up?
Jerry West was going crazy at this moment.
Could it be that Lu Yu is about to float by in front of his eyes?
Not 25, absolutely not!!
"The No. 1 team is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"
Jack McCloskey, general manager of the Timberwolves, looked very shocked at this time.
Damn, I didn't even dare to think about the No. 1 pick.
You really signed the No. 1 pick to our Timberwolves??
At this time, he suppressed the astonishment in his heart, stood up with a smile, and greeted the people around him.
Seeing the smile on Jack McCloskey's face, both Jerry West and Pat Williams wanted to jump on Jack McCloskey and beat him up.
"I didn't expect the Timberwolves to get the No. 1 lottery."
In front of the TV, Lu Yu shook his head. In his memory, the No. 1 pick in 1992 should be the Magic.
If I remember correctly, the second pick is the Charlotte Hornets.
The Timberwolves are only the third pick
But his arrival still changed history.
After the Los Angeles Lakers frantically played badly, they changed the original history.
"So that means, there is a high probability that I will go 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 suggest you go to Minnesota.
"If we can, I think we'd better go to Los Angeles."
Lu Yu laughed and said:
"Where to go is not up to us, it depends on whether those teams 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 will be a play.
Lu Yu nodded: "Then go talk to him."
It's definitely better to go to Los Angeles than to go to Minnesota.
Los Angeles is the second largest city in the whole of Mimi, with a developed economy and a very good climate.
Another point is that the exposure is too high.
Lu Yu has created his own brand now, and he must have a high enough exposure.
This will make your brand more famous.
, does not meet this condition.
If he can go to Los Angeles, the starting point of his business empire will be relatively high.
At this moment, the madman curled his lips and said:
"Damn, you can pick places yourself, but unfortunately I'm still worried about my draft prospects!"
"Hey, why didn't my draft pick improve much after I won the championship?"
Before the start of the season, Madman's draft pick was predicted to be at the end of the first round.
Now, his draft pick is predicted to be around 20th in the first round.
It really didn't improve much.
And because of his space turret attribute, Horry has a good draft prospect and has already reached the lottery zone.
Jeff Austin looked at Mad Men and Horry.
No way, everyone is in a different situation.
Lu Yu played really well in college, and his talent is really high.
So he's a surefire top-three pick now.
Madman and Horry still need to go to various teams for trial training to show their talents for these teams.
After speaking a few more words with the three people, Jeff Austin went to contact Jerry West.
"Hi Mr. West, I'm Lu Yu's manager, Jeff Austin."
After Austin's phone call came through, Jerry West said a little discouraged:
"It seems that Lu Yu wants to come to our Lakers team."
"It's only natural that Los Angeles will be infinitely better than next year's Apolis.
"We hope that, if possible, you can choose Lu Yu at No. 2."
When Jerry West heard this, he said with some regret: "I'm afraid the Timberwolves will choose Lu Yu before we choose Lu Yu.
"Lu Yu's talent is obvious and they will definitely choose Lu Yu."
Austin said: "Then I hope you can use all methods to get Lu Yu."
West was silent for a while and said, "I'll try it."
After finishing speaking, the two of them hung up the phone.
How to try to get the first pick with the second pick?
It seems that there is only a transaction...
Jerry West's eyes calmed down, thinking about something in his mind.
In the next period of time, Lu Yu and the three of them began to go to various teams for trial training, and at the same time they continued to train.
Madman and Horry are two people who need to go to more teams.
Madman is predicted to be in the 20s because of the draft.
Therefore, Austin followed him directly and ran all 27 teams in the United States.
And Robert Horry, according to Austin's estimation, only needs to try out the top 15 picks.
As for Lu Yu, he only needs to try out the top five teams.
But in fact, Lu only went to four teams.
He didn't go to the Timberwolves, 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, said his agent Jeff Austin, he would not have his employer come to our place.
"He defends the interests of his employer!"
Jack McCloskey sneered: "Hehe, what a competent agent!"
"But what if I'm just going to pick him in the draft?"
"It's kind of like you refuse to report!"
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the night of the draft on June 24.
Lu Yu has used up all the [Training Cards] during this time.
His fusion degree has now reached 90%.
With only 10% difference, the template can be perfectly integrated.
This day is the day when the draft officially begins.
Wearing a handsome suit, Lu Yu walked into the draft hall.
At this time, many players who need to participate in the draft this year also came to the scene.
But after Lu Yu looked around, he found that Kristen Laettner hadn't come.
Because just two days ago, Kristen Laettner went to the Olympics on behalf of the American Dream Team.
He didn't come to the draft scene.
Before the start of the draft, all the teams are discussing the details of the next draft in each team's draft combat hut.
"Call the Timberwolves, we want to open a deal!"
In all recent interviews, Timberwolves general manager Jack McCloskey has made it very clear that they will choose Lu Yu in the No. 1 pick.
They claim that Lu Yu will be the best rookie in Timberwolves history!
Jerry West really wanted Lu Yu, and his original intention of playing badly was to get Lu Yu.
So before the draft officially opened, he decided to trade with the Timberwolves.
"Hello, Jerry."
Jack McCloskey answered the phone and spoke into the microphone.
"We want to trade the No. 1 pick," West said.
"Oh? As far as I know, your pick is the second pick, which is not low. There is no need for you to trade. y
"I know you want Lu Yu, but think about it, Lu Yu is not willing 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 refusing to report anyway."
"I think you can think about it. The chips I have come up with are very good. And I think, whether it is Laettner, O'Neal, or even Alonzo Mourning, they are all good choices."
Jerry West continued:
"Leettner was even selected by the Dream Team to participate in the Olympics. His strength is definitely very powerful."
"How comprehensive his skills are! I believe he also went to your Timberwolves to try out before? Didn't you find Laettner's comprehensive skills?"
Jack McCloskey said: "Then you talk about your chips first."
West laughed: "Except for Sam Perkins and James Worthy, you pick whatever you want."
Hearing what Jerry West said, Jack McCloskey was immediately tempted.
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 squeeze the most out of the deal.
"I want James Worthy."
Jerry West said: "As I said, you pick whatever you want except James Worthy and Sam Perkins."
"No, I want James Worthy!"
"It's impossible!" West sternly refused.
"Okay, then I want Sam Perkins. If you refuse, then there is no need for us to continue talking."
When Jack McCloskey said the name of Sam Perkins, West's eyes lit up, it was a sly look.
For his part, James Worthy is still untradeable as much as possible.
But Sam Perkins, is totally tradeable.
First of all, Perkins is not from the Lakers.
Secondly, Perkins has been opposing the Lakers' bad plan since the Lakers started to do badly.
If you continue to keep him in the team, maybe something will happen. 530
"Also, shouldn't the draft picks also come out for nothing?"
Jack McCloskey said.
"Okay! We can take out the 1993 second-round pick."
Jack McCloskey yells, "Hey man, you know, at least it's a 1993 first-round pick!"
"Okay!" West agreed, and said again: "If you have other conditions, I will not promise you again. This is our limit."
"That's it, we made a deal.
Jack McCloskey said with a smile.
Exchange the first pick for the second pick, in fact, not much loss.
You know, he also snatched a power forward who averaged 16+8 per game, and a first-round pick in 1993.
He is willing to call this transaction a robbery transaction!
How bad will the Lakers be next year without Sam Perkins?
Can Lu Yu, a rookie, take the Lakers directly to the playoffs?
According to Jack McCloskey's judgment, the first-round pick in 1993 was at least the top 10 pick!
Timberwolves, this is Qin Shihuang touching the switch, winning numb!
The transaction cannot be carried out in advance, and must wait until after the start of the draft.
They need to trade with players as the main body after their respective drafts.
If the trade is based on draft picks, the Timberwolves would not be able to get the 1993 first-round pick.
Because the NBA does not allow the trade of first-round picks for two consecutive years.
After Jack McCloskey hung up on West.
He got another call from the Magic.
But the chips of the Magic are not sincere enough.
They were unwilling to give out their 1993 first-round pick.
So Jack McCloskey hung up the phone decisively.
Then, another call came in.
"The Celtics?" Jack McCloskey frowned after taking the phone.
The Celtics have the 21st overall pick this year.
What, they still plan to take the 21st overall pick to trade the No. 1 pick to the Timberwolves?
The Lakers draft war room.
Jerry West always felt like something was missing.
Yes, is the old silver coin of Auerbach about to be sold?
With a flash of inspiration, he remembered that Auerbach, the old silver coin, had also seen Lu Yu's competition scene!
In the follow-up, the Celtics may also make moves.
Moreover, Bird retired after this season.
The Celtics need to rebuild now!
If Lu Yu can be selected, the Celtics will rebuild much faster.
"Old silver coin, I advise you to give me a better life, the drama jumps out and disgusts me
