Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Originally, the 1995 NBA Draft should be held in Toronto, Canada. However, because of the confusion of "Prince Prince" Bruce, this draft could only be held at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Just look at the name. This is the home court of the NBA team, the New Jersey Nets.

...

Don't talk too much nonsense, let's get to the main topic below.

The 1995 NBA Draft officially began.

As always, the president of the league, Stern, came to the stage and said some nonsense, causing the people on the scene to boo.

The opening remarks are all commonplace!

Even Liu Yu, who was not attending the audition on the spot, cast his eyes on live TV.

Uncle Si, I said, can you always change your lines, you say the same every year, don’t you think it’s boring for people to hear it?

"I announced that the Golden State Warriors selected Joe Smith of the University of Maryland with the first overall pick in the first round."

After Joe Smith was first called by Stern, there was a lot of cheers.

If it weren't for Liu Yu's rebirth, he would probably choose Joe Smith like the Golden State Warriors.

After all, in the NCAA, Joe Smith is the nation's No. 1 star player, better than other players in the Green House, so the Golden State Warriors are not wrong in choosing.

However, everyone knows the later history!

As the No. 1 star player in the United States this year, Joe Smith is of course very arrogant.

I was selected first and was still the "No. 1 pick". This is very exciting for college students like him who just want to mess around in the NBA!

Of course, I have to thank my own agent. Without this agent, Joe Smith would not be so easy to be the "No. 1 pick."

This agent is Dan Fegan, also the agent of "Big Dream" Olajuwon.

At the same time, he was the agent who made Yi Jianlian's NBA career painful in his previous life.

After Joe Smith took over the Golden State Warriors' cap, he walked off the podium and gave an interview and speech to the media reporters below.

Stern then continued to announce the results of the following draft.

"I announce that the Los Angeles Clippers have chosen Antonio McDyess from the University of Alabama with the second overall pick in the first round."

"I announced that the Philadelphia 76ers selected Jerry Stackhouse from the University of North Carolina with the third overall pick in the first round."

"I announced that the Washington Bullets chose Rasheed Wallace from the University of North Carolina with the fourth overall pick in the first round."

Another power forward is selected. This Washington Bullets is completely a power forward concentration camp.

Since Liu Yu's New York Hans entered the league, this team has been constantly selecting power forwards. The final result is that this team has at least a stock of 5-6 power forwards, and the strength is not bad.

Of course, they will eventually trade the power forwards of the previous years one by one, but they will continue to choose the next power forward without hitting the south wall or looking back.

Anyway, according to the understanding of the Washington Bullets uniform group is that you must choose a historical-level power forward to become famous in the NBA before you can give up.

Now it's the Minnesota Timberwolves' turn.

The rookie selected by this draft pick is very important, and Liu Yu will also pay more attention to the live TV broadcast.

"I announce that the Minnesota Timberwolves have selected Faraga High School's Kevin Garnett with the fifth overall pick in the first round."

Finally, Kevin Garnett was selected.

And Kevin Garnett, who just received the Minnesota Timberwolves cap, didn't immediately put on it.

Obviously Kevin Garnett has already been notified, and he can be sure that he doesn't have to go to Minnesota to see the snow.

Is there a transaction appearing?

The media at the scene were quite sensitive, and they grasped the key at once.

Let's see if there is a transaction on the live screen!

And Liu Yu, who watched the live broadcast in China, also recalled the trading situation reported to him by general manager Mitch Kupchak.

This matter will start from the time when the "Huh Ha Two Generals" group returns to New York.

As early as a few days ago, New York Hans general manager Mitch Kupchak had called to replace the retired general manager Jack McCluskey at the end of last season to become the vice president of basketball operations Kevin McHale. .

The former Boston Celtics hero Kevin McHale is a native of Minnesota.

As soon as he retired, he immediately returned to his homeland and did not serve as the team's management in Boston. With McHale's influence and qualifications in the Boston Celtics at that time, it is completely fine to enter the team's management.

This also happened to explain the noble character of Kevin McHale, not to be confused by fame and fortune, but decided to insist on returning to the small city of Minnesota to watch the snow. He himself is still more local.

Liu Yu also respects people like McHale. After all, there are too few such people in the league now. You must know that the gap between the rich and the poor in the two cities of Boston and Minnesota is too big.

If Liu Yu chooses, he must choose Boston, a big city. He doesn't want to see snow in the small city of Minnesota.

After receiving a call from Mitch Kupchak, general manager of the New York Hans, McHale, the new prospective rookie, was obviously inexperienced, and Mitch Kupchak, a veteran and cunning man, had been led by the nose.

But being led by the nose does not mean that McHale is a fool.

They are all for the interests of their respective teams, not to mention that McHale is still a native of Minnesota. As long as he doesn't want to be scolded by local residents, he will definitely spare no effort to fight for greater benefits for the team.

In the end McHale agreed to the deal, but the New York Hans also paid a big price.

The draft is still going on.

"I announced that the Miami Heat chose Damon Stoudemire from the University of Arizona with the sixth overall pick in the first round."

The Miami Heat's performance last season was not ideal, so the Miami Heat's ranking is not as high as that.

But well...

At this moment, a trade appeared in the draft floor.

It's a deal between three teams.

The Minnesota Timberwolves sent Kevin Garnett the right to sign + center Mike Brown.

The Chicago Bulls sent B.J. Armstrong of point guard + Pete Meyers of forward + Corey Blunt of power forward.

The New York Hans sent Charles Oakley at power forward + Ron Harper at shooting guard.

In this three-way trade, the Minnesota Timberwolves got the three Chicago Bulls players.

The Chicago Bulls finally got the "beater" Charles Oakley that the old gang always wanted and Ron Harper as an excellent substitute for the old gangster.

The New York Hans only got the signing rights of Kevin Garnett and the older uncle Mike Brown.

Now that the deal is out, of course, media reporters will dig deeper from this deal to see which team lost and which team made money.

Therefore, Liu Yu has always believed that these media reporters are the kind of people who eat and have nothing to do when they are idle.

Study these meaningless things every day.

The first is the Minnesota Timberwolves as the protagonist.

If you don't count the achievements of Kevin Garnett in history, then they will definitely not lose the deal.

Why do you say that?

Of course there is a basis!

Armstrong alone is worthy of the No. 6 pick. You must know that he was just selected to the list of players in the All-Star Game last year. A new All-Star player, plus two frees at the end, is worth it.

With the No. 6 pick for 3 players, the Minnesota Timberwolves deal was indeed profitable at the time.

What's more, the team already has the power forward Christian Lightner selected in the 1992 NBA Draft.

The current position of the team's power forward is certainly not bad, even if Kevin Garnett is selected according to the original historical trajectory, then he must be prepared to substitute Lightner.

So as long as there is a team to trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves, if the chips are enough, McHale will definitely trade this sign.

Of course, the Chicago Bulls, who have reached troubled waters through this trade, did not lose. Although Oakley and Harper are substitutes, they are really capable of not being able to stand them!

The trade can immediately add to the Bulls' bench depth, at least the team's inside line suddenly becomes stronger.

The Seattle SuperSonics will have no problem fighting for the "perverted" version next season.

The media reporters generally believe that the New York Hans are the one that suffers the most.

A high school student + an old man, what do you use it for?

This does not imply that the New York Hans will have a cool rhythm next season!
