NBA: Traditional basketball, you play 3-pointers

June 25th, US time!

Charlotte, North Carolina!

Draft site!

The eyes of the world are focused on this year's draft!

Sitting in the small green room of the draft arena, Su Fan sat obediently with a little nervousness.

He is still looking forward to which team will be selected tonight!

Because of his excellent performance in the joint tryout and his extremely outstanding static talent, he was rated as one of the most anticipated inside players besides Duncan!

With his performance in the competition against the second pick "Bird II" Van Horn, the NBA officials personally invited Su Fan to the small green room!

Su Fan looked around and saw that the small green room was full of players and their families:

Tim Duncan.

Keith Van Horn.

Chauncey Billups.

Tracy McGrady.

Stephen Jackson.

........

The quality of the draft in 1997 was not as high as that in 1996, but it was still of high quality. There was Duncan, a "mature" and terrifying superstar, McGrady of the Yao-McGrady combination in the future, and Billups.

Thinking that he could participate in the draft with superstars like Duncan and McGrady, and then join the big stage of the NBA, Su Fan couldn't help but show a little expectation.

The basketball dream is the dream of every boy.

Basketball may not be the most popular in the United States, but it is definitely the number one sport in China!

As everyone thought, Su Fan came from the future 21st century! ! !

Like ordinary time travelers, Su Fan also obtained the system————"Basketball Superstar" system.

At the same time, he obtained a novice gift package of the system!

Wenban Yalu template!!!

It is the super star in the future who caused the Spurs to tank for the second time!!!

The No. 1 pick in 2023——————Wenban Yama!

Known as one of the most talented rookies in history!

But that was the era of small ball. Now is still the era of inside-based, but there is no Durant as a template. The point is that it is not the era of small ball yet!

So Su Fan's alternative playing style and not very strong body have become an alternative!

Su Fan has a little expectation for his future and development. After all, the resources that different teams can provide are definitely different.

There are 30 teams in the league, including local tyrant teams, stingy teams, small ball market teams, big ball market teams, and some racially discriminatory and unfriendly teams, etc.

A good team's training system is definitely the key to success. If some teams choose a high draft pick to play as a substitute, it will definitely be extremely unfriendly to a rookie.

The NBA never lacks talented monsters!

Although being able to join the NBA is a success, I still have great expectations for where my first stop will be.

Back to the draft site!

At this time, it was less than half an hour away from the start of the 1997 NBA draft!

David Stern has arrived at the scene. Looking at his assistant, he asked, "I heard that there is a young Chinese man named Su tonight?"

"Yes, sir!!!"

"How is his draft position?"

"We have arranged him to the green room. It is said that the Warriors, 76ers and other teams are interested in him!!"

"......"

While the two were talking, the draft was about to start!

David Stern intends to open up the Chinese market this year. If such a Chinese player joins the NBA now, it will definitely have a decisive significance for his idea of ​​NBA globalization.

It's exciting to think about it.

Su Fan didn't know that he had been remembered by the president before he officially participated in the draft.

The draft officially began.

Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Chauncey Billups, Su Fan and other players have all arrived at the scene at this time, sitting in their seats and staring at the stage closely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 1997 NBA Draft!"

"Today, another group of talented youngsters will join the league. I am honored to host this year's draft for you all!!"

NBA Commissioner David Stern came to the podium.

"Shh!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A chorus of boos suddenly rang out at the scene.

Facing the boos, the old man David Stern smiled silly, not caring at all.

Perhaps this is the purest basketball in the NBA now!

Then, under the gaze of the green room, rookie players, and the audience!

David Stern slowly said, "The NBA Draft has officially begun. The first team to be selected is the San Antonio Spurs.You have 5 minutes to make your decision! ! "

As the voice fell, the Spurs manager did not keep everyone waiting for long, and took out the envelope that had already made the choice! ! !

Duncan looked at the envelope on the stage with a smile on his face!

David Stern took the envelope and slowly opened it.

The live camera has been given to Tim Duncan in the audience. There is no doubt that everyone already knows the candidate for the No. 1 pick.

"In the 1997 NBA Draft, the first pick in the first round, the San Antonio Spurs chose the power forward from Wake Forest University——————Tim Duncan! ! ! "

"Wow! ! ! "

The moment the result was announced, cheers rang out at the draft!!

All the Spurs fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, the strongest forward finally fell into their own hands.

Tim Duncan is the hope for the future revival of the team, and is their most ideal choice.

After hearing his name, Tim Duncan also stood up and hugged his family and friends!!

He took the Spurs hat handed over by the staff on the scene and put it on his head.

When he came to the stage, Duncan and Stern shook hands.

The scene was silent. At this time, the camera gave the Celtics' new general manager with a gloomy expression. The former general manager of the team, "Red" Auerbach, quit after knowing that he had no chance of Duncan!

At that time, Auerbach even called Popovich: "Give me Duncan, you can pick any other members of the team! "

Popovich was not at all upset about this!

The rejected cardinal announced his retirement directly!

For a moment, the league was shocked!

Back to the draft site!!

David Stern opened the envelope handed over by the Philadelphia 76ers, slowly opened it, and his pupils shrank:

"The second pick in the 1997 NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers chose the talented power forward from China——Su Fan!!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!"

Suddenly, the whole audience could hear a pin drop!!

"Who is Su-Fan???"

This is the doubt of all the fans who came to the scene!!

The Philadelphia 76ers fans even shouted: "The team management is possessed by a sow, is it crazy???"

"Shhh!!!!!!!"

The scene booed continuously!
