The smoke of the playoffs is filled with the air, and some fans who care about the team are always at a high level of tension, and they are paying attention to all news just like the team's managers.

On the eve of the game 4, a news that excited the Pistons fans appeared.

“dor.mo and general manager Joe Dumas will travel to Chicago as representatives for the Pistons to attend the lottery draw.”

The nervous playoffs almost made Pistons fans forget that they not only had to deal with strong opponents like the 76ers, but also had the top five picks in the draft at the end of June (high probability).

Thanks to Doug Collins, the Pistons still have the top five lottery draws when the team reaches its peak.

The event "Apologize to Doug to me!" was launched in Detroit. Since last year, Collins said that he has received tens of thousands of thank-you letters from Detroit.

In response, Collins said: "This is helpless. When I made this deal, I considered the future, but no one understood and foresawed the future."

Any old fans of the Pistons can see that Collins is talking nonsense. Collins was scolded because he sent away two starting players, but only exchanged for a second round pick, a first round pick, and a first round pick that he didn't know when to cash out.

With the Pistons' barren lineup at that time, it was natural that the deal was dissed, and no one expected it to become the Pistons' wealth.

"The Pistons, who have won two consecutive championships, will add another talented rookie in this year's draft."

The news from espn is helpless, just like the peak Lakers in the 1980s who won James Worthy with the No. 1 pick.

The strong team has become stronger.

The plane was about to arrive in Chicago, Momonchen was drowsy and he didn't want to come at all.

However, Dumas forced him to Chicago on the grounds that "I was a little nervous when I attended the lottery conference for the first time."

To ask why, Dumas also has a legitimate reason.

"I always feel at ease with you around."

Seeing Dumas, who is fat and said this to himself affectionately, Mo Mengchen's ability to endure vomiting was a reflection of his personal cultivation.

"How are the kids at home?"

“Everything is good.”

"How is Ephraim's body?"

"very good."

"Are the game tomorrow night ready?"

“Excellent.”

Three thick lines appeared on Dumas' brow: "Can you stop talking about it?"

Mo Mengchen ignored him and looked down at the giant shoulder city below from the window. They immediately arrived at the station. Looking down at the world from the sky was the dream of many people.

Actually, this is not that fun, because if you want to look down at everything below, you have to fly high enough, but the higher you fly the less you see it.

Mo Mengchen was not like that. His eyesight was unusually good. Even at such a high altitude, the scenery below could be seen clearly. Wherever he saw, he stopped on a tall building and suddenly saw a man and a woman sticking to the glass window. I wonder what he was doing...

"Seeing this, I knew we were really in Chicago." Mo Mengchen said lightly.

“Which?”

"Every time I come here, there are always people having an affair on the top floor."

Dumas hurriedly leaned over, but unfortunately he could not see anything, otherwise he would have been attracted by the softness of the white couple.

Dumas, who could not see anything, thought Mo Mengchen was playing tricks on him and gave him a resentful look.

Ten minutes later, the plane landed.

The media that had already received the news was waiting outside the airport. When the main owner arrived, they were surrounded by Rick.

A female reporter in charge put the microphone in front of Mo Mengchen and asked a quick question.

Mo Mengchen ignored her love, and Dumas tried hard to maintain a good image.

It's like a pig who's going to be slaughtered if he doesn't know that he's eating too much.

Dumas' indulgence on the media will only waste half an hour more at the airport.

This year's draw will be held at the Bulls' home court, namely the United Center.

As a landlord and also a member of the weak team, the Bulls have been looking for Jordan's successor.

In 1995, they missed Mo Mengchen (no invitation at all), and in 1997, they missed Duncan (no chance at all). These two guys who are most likely to become Jordan's successor now have their own belongings, and they still have to try their luck in the draft.

Elton Brand, the No. 1 pick in 1999, played the 2010 All-Star season again this season. Although his data is good, it is a data brush that cannot drive his teammates. After two seasons, the Bulls also saw this clearly.

Of course, Bulls fans who are used to Jordan can't stand Brand, so Brand is actually no longer in the Bulls' long-term plan.

In order to get Brand to play good numbers, the Bulls must play with all their strength. They won 24 wins without hope, sixth from the East and eighth from the league. This record is enough to get them a lottery draw. As for the pick, it depends on luck.

There are no matches in today's United Center, and the protagonist is the representative of each team.

Spurs' representative Popovich entered the United Center with a strong record of the league's last record, and he was bound to win the No. 1 pick.

The Spurs have a 25% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, which is what they have given up their dignity.

The second is the Washington Wizards, which leads the Eastern Conference team with superb skills, ranking second to last in the league. The leader is Michael Jordan, a former hero in Chicago and the first in history.

There are rumors that Jordan is preparing to make a comeback next season. If he wants to make a comeback, he must give up his shares and control of the Wizards.

Mo Mengchen didn't expect that seeing Jordan again would happen three years later.

Jordan didn't expect that after only three years, the Bulls fell to this point, and the Pistons rose to the top.

"Breadcrumbs really should be learned from you." Jordan looked at them eagerly, "The record, draft, no delay."

First of all, you need a trading genius like Doug Collins.

Mo Mengchen smiled slightly. Like Jordan, he was just sitting at the joint center. As for drawing lots and touching the ball, he handed it over to other management personnel.

Mo Mengchen and Jordan reminisce about the past, and the scene also fell on the two of them.

Jordan has an inexplicably powerful aura, and those who are with him will be suppressed. No matter where he goes, he will become the focus of the audience as soon as possible.

But now standing with Mo Mengchen, his unbeatable aura did not suppress the other party.

“This is a communication between the rulers of the previous generation and the rulers of the contemporary generation.”

"Do you have any opinions on this year's rookie?" Jordan didn't know Mo Mengchen's background, so he just asked casually.

But Mo Mengchen had other concerns in his mind.

The Pistons' transformation is imperative. If you want to play Princeton, then there will be one of the most suitable inside players at this year's draft - Paul Gasol.

The support of the inside combination of Gasol and Rashid can probably have the six or seven successes of the combination of Weber and Divac, which is enough for the Pistons.

Therefore, Gasol is the first target of the piston.

Gasol was the third pick in his previous life, but this Spurs is more variable in this life.

The best result is that the Wizards won the No. 1 pick as they did in their previous life, and then Jordan happily chose Kwame Brown.

"This is the management's business." Mo Mengchen said calmly.

"You don't care about this at all?" Jordan didn't believe it. With his understanding of Mo Mengchen, even if this guy didn't interfere directly, he would interfere.

Mo Mengchen naturally won’t pretend to be like a novice, and Jordan is not a fool. “It’s a mess to care about it. I only care about the playoffs now. When the season is over, I will see these rookies.”

During their conversation, in a completely enclosed room inside, the draw of lots had begun.

54,66,83,21.

These four sets of numbers are the serial numbers of the top scorer.

This is the era of small ball draws in draft draws.

There are always a thousand small balls, each ball has a serial number. The Spurs, which are at the bottom of the record, have 250 sequence numbers, which means they can draw 250 times.

The 250-time ball numbers are drawn as long as they form the number of the top picks, they can get the top picks. It is worth mentioning that the balls that are removed must be put back after the record.

The better the team's record, the lower the chances of forming the No. 1 pick sign number, the more difficult it is to form a No. 1 pick sign number - so do you know how lucky those teams that get No. 1 pick sign with a very small probability are?

This lottery rule was not changed until 2014.

At present, the Spurs have obtained the sequence required by three sets of No. 1 picks.

54,83,21. Only 66 is missing.

Finally it was the Spurs' turn again. Popovich stepped forward again, touched the ball like a mahjong, and picked it up and took it.

Damn 69.

I fucking hate this kind of body! Popovich cursed inwardly.

At the same time, the Eagles and the Wizards have also obtained two sets of No. 1 scores.

After rounds of rounds, some weak teams with low record and few draws have used up all draw qualifications. They did not form the number of No. 1 picks, so they withdrew from this competition.

Popovich stepped forward again, and the Spurs had the greatest probability. This was the opportunity they got to endure the fans' eyes and the criticism from the outside world, and they must not be wasted.

His hand was put into the box full of balls again, fiddled gently, rolled, and reached a position he had never arrived before, and grabbed the ball that he had never been picked up.

Popovich took out a small ball that killed suspense.

66!

The league staff confirmed the results were correct and spread the news outside. The team representatives waiting for the lottery were all disappointed.

At the same time, the big screen of the United Center broadcast the message at the same time.

"The San Antonio Spurs drew the first pick in the first round of the 2001 draft."

"Damn!" Jordan cursed unhappily because he felt Kwame Brown was leaving him.

This was his first year in management, and he didn't expect it to be so unsuccessful.

Mo Mengchen sat quietly, no one knew what he was thinking.
Chapter completed!
