Before the fourth game between the Bulls and the Cavaliers began, the draft lottery conference was first held in New York.

Every year when drawing lots, many superstitious things happen.

For example, in 1985, Knicks's Cialiro borrowed horseshoe from racer Buddy Gilmore. Because the horse had won the championship three times, they thought the horse's horseshoe would bring luck. As a result, the Knicks won the No. 1 pick and chose Ewing.

In 2005, the Bucks ranked sixth in the lottery probability, but they eventually won the No. 1 pick and Bogut.

They rely on a lucky hook, which came from a 16-year-old boy named Michael Millis, who is said to always fall into big fish.

The most famous is Auerbach's cigar.

The lucky thing brought by Celtics general manager Chris Wallace in the 1998 lottery conference was Cardinal Auerbach's half-smoking cigar.

I don’t know why Chris thinks this thing is lucky. Auerbach didn’t finish the sucking, probably because he felt uncomfortable. He got diagnosed with cancer after going to the hospital, and then he died soon...

The Celtics only won the 10th pick that year, but fortunately they chose Pierce, an underrated player.

The Celtics head coach said at the time: "I believe Pierce can play well because Auerbach will favor the Celtics."

Then Pierce was almost stabbed to death soon...

Well, Auerbach's cigar seems to be something ominous.

According to the agreement, the Bulls and the Knicks exchanged first-round draft picks. Thomas held the first-round pick voucher during the exchange. Just like in "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow didn't want to let go without a fight.

The No. 1 pick was replaced by the 30th pick in the first round. Is there anything more tragic than this? The Knicks fans unanimously condemned that Thomas was dismissed. He is not suitable to be a manager, nor is he suitable to be a coach.

When I went to the lottery, Parsons brought the "mascot" was David Lee, a super rookie picked up by the Knicks.

The Bulls were "lucky" to draw the No. 1 pick, and Isaiah Thomas almost died of anger in the office after reading the news.

One No. 1 pick, one second pick, one David Lee, who exchanged for the fat Eddie Curry who had a super bad contract. This will be one of the most magical deals in history, and the price the Knicks paid can be exchanged for Wang Jun.

The bosses, coaches, players and players of other teams were all dumbfounded. The Bulls are already so strong that they can choose another No. 1 pick in the team, so how can other teams play?

A young and promising inside rookie will be trained to assist the young core Wang Jun. The internal and external dual cores will be a favorite to win the championship within a few years. The Bulls can also renew Lewis' contract.

People have heard of Oden's name, which is much dazzling than the Lakers' Ok combination back then.

Chinese fans started a discussion online, and they were all optimistic about the Bulls' prospects. The last player who dominated the league like this happened to be the Bulls.

"The Bulls will definitely build a dynasty. It feels very easy to defend the title next season."

"Isaiya Thomas is the best manager, he made the Bulls."

"I heard that Oden is very strong, with an enhanced version of Howard, who is partnering with Wang Jun. Will you fight for a complete victory next season?"

"Lucky is coming, and it can't be stopped. Wang Jun is actually not much different from many stars than his strength, but the Bulls are too strong overall."

After looking at the lottery results, Abby asked with a smile: "Do you think the Bulls will choose the guy who beat Curry? The one who looks very much like James."

"Oden? Hopefully, I think it's enough to have Chandler."

Wang Jun does not want the most famous No. 1 pick to come, and someone must have to pass the ball out. Chandler, a person who takes a few shots in a game, does not go to the basket and does not take action. People who are fully focused on defense are most suitable for the Bulls.

How could someone like Oden, who was brag of being a super center before entering the league, only take five shots in a game? Perhaps his arrival will destroy the Bulls' established chemistry. The most urgent task is to renew Lewis and Sinrich. A stable three-pointer is the Bulls' strongest weapon.

Manager Paxson encountered the trouble of happiness. No team could trade a player like Oden with super talent. Stay behind, he and Chandler overlapped their positions, and the inside lineup was too crowded and they had to leave.

More importantly, Stern talked to Paxson for a few words and said: "I am looking forward to another superstar on the Bulls."

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement. Stern hopes that the Bulls will reuse Oden. As long as he is given the ball, the league will definitely promote Oden and the Bulls.

On the contrary, it may cause displeasure among the top leaders of the alliance.

The number one pick has made countless people jealous, and some even shouted "the dark side of lottery draw".

Some media have also found evidence of suspected shady drafts in the past, believing that the top three are likely to be decided, rather than drawn.

There is also a argument that the league wants to win the Bulls, and the deal between Wang Jun and the Knicks two draft picks and David Lee are both conspiracies.

Conspiracy theories do not always have logic. As the number one city in the NBA, the Knicks are willing to help the Bulls establish a dynasty? They simply say that David Stern has Chinese descent, so they want to praise the Chinese.

This kind of controversy occurs every year, and the alliance does not come forward to make any clarifications.

Some people really can't stand it anymore, and Kobe officially applied for a deal to the Lakers management.

Three years, one regular season out and two first rounds, it was a torture for Kobe, who was inspiring to surpass Jordan, and he attributed the loss to his teammates being too trash.

Although Kobe has three championship rings, he doesn’t even have an MVP, only one scoring champion. Garnett had a regular season MVP in 2004. Iverson, who is considered to be inferior to Kobe, has an MVP, although he has no championship.

If Kobe cannot win the regular season MVP, he will not be qualified to compare with Jordan. The genuine five MVPs and six MVPs in the finals MVPs will be unqualified.

Kobe, who lost his patience, was even exposed to the news of scolding his boss: "Jerry Bass is a fool!"

Basketball expert Jeff Ranchiner even revealed the news, saying that he had contacted the fans who shot the video and watched a secret video with his own eyes. Ranchiner said that he was sure that the person who was talking was indeed Kobe and the fans, and through the voice of the conversation, he was very sure that it was Kobe himself.

As a migrant worker, of course, you can insult the boss privately, but the words you scolded were exposed by the media, which was really a careless friend. If it weren't for Kobe's friend, there wouldn't be a chance to record the sound.

Of course, this is not the first time Kobe has done it. In the middle of the season, he was looking forward to fighting side by side with Kidd, and Kidd was unable to get to the Lakers in the end. The reason is that the Lakers are unwilling to give Bynum the bargaining chip, which caused the transaction of Kidd to be aborted.

Kobe expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the Lakers' unwillingness to trade Bynum for Kidd. In an interview, he said: "Kupchek is an idiot!"

All signs indicate that Kobe is determined to leave the Lakers. What he is doing now is both offending the management and his teammates, and he almost shouts with a loudspeaker, "My teammates are all waste."

After learning that the Bulls won the No. 1 pick, the morale of the Cavaliers also dropped to the bottom.

James is getting more and more confused. He can't beat the Bulls this season. If the Bulls choose the No. 1 pick and train them, how can he win the championship in the future?

With this desperate mentality, the Cavaliers fell behind in the fourth game and finally lost 79 to 95 and were swept out.
