Legendary Basketball Tycoon

At this time, there were many relatives and friends of the Little Green House players in the lobby, the most exaggerated was the 80 relatives and friends cheering for O'Neal.

This is too awesome, too, the draft is just like those candidates who participated in the imperial examinations in ancient times. Relatives and friends are waiting outside to see whether their family members can be the top pick in high school.

A lot of local New Jersey fans even came to the stands. After all, it is their home field. If you lose, you still have to stand up for New Jersey.

And what attracted the most attention was the fourteen rookies invited by the league in the small green room. They sat in groups and chatted together...

The so-called green house is actually the players predicted to be selected by the lottery before the draft. They are voted by the general managers of all NBA teams. There are 14 rookies in each draft. Invited by the alliance to get the opportunity to enter the small green house...

The rookie in the small green room is equivalent to the ancient people who participated in the palace exams. It can be said to be dazzling. After all, the lottery area and the rookie in the first round of the middle and lower reaches have a huge contract salary gap.

Of course, there are extremely excited rookies in the small green room, and there are also nervous rookies. The rookies who can enter the small green room are not ordinary people. If they have not been selected in the lottery area, they will fall into At the bottom of the first round, the rookie is definitely embarrassing to be.

As far as Bruce's past life is concerned, there are several people who were invited to the Green House and were not selected in the lottery area.

Rashard Lewis in 1998.

Jordan in 2008.

Kevin Looney for 15 years.

Dejuntay Murray in 16 years

None of these people were selected in the lottery zone, so the rookies in this little green house have heaven and hell. If they are selected, everything is OK. If they fail to be selected, they will be a hit for a period of time.

However, there are still a few outliers in this small green room. As the only candidate for the "No. 1 pick" in this draft, Allen Iverson is not at peace at this time, although he is likely to become NBA history. It’s the shortest "No. 1 overall pick", but there is no guarantee that the Philadelphia 76ers uniform team will be mentally disabled. This is very likely.

After all, it is still possible to choose a big man to be the No. 1 pick in the right era. The big man basically firmly occupies the top position of the No. 1 pick. This is how old hooligans have never been before.

Especially today Iverson’s mother and family have also come to the scene, and he will be even more disturbed. He doesn’t want to disappoint his mother and sisters, so becoming the "No. 1 pick" is Iverson’s only goal today.

In addition to Iverson, there are two players in the small green room that are incompatible with the others!

One is Kobe Bryant. Since the end of his solo training with the New York Hans, Kobe has been stuck in self-entanglement, especially the bullfight with the old hooligans, which completely woke him up.

Perhaps he is an absolute star player in the high school league and McDonald's All-Stars, but if it is his turn to meet old hooligans or even other NBA teams and his opponents, would he be able to contend?

And if the Los Angeles Lakers choose him, would he be a bench player? Does he have a future in the traditional giants of the Lakers?

It can be said that Bruce's "education" not only did not play a good role in Kobe, but even beat him into a skeptical life.

And the other is Steve Nash, he can enter the small green house because he has the identity of the Canadian men's basketball national player.

Originally, Nash was unknown in the NCAA league. In addition, he was short and thin, and many people did not even know this player. But he is the youngest player in the Canadian men’s basketball team. Based on this condition, Stern can let him enter. The little green house.

There was originally a Serbian, Peja Stojakovic, who was also invited into the small green house, who could accompany Nash (I am a Canadian who is indeed a bit embarrassed among a group of Americans), but he is still in Europe, Greece The league played games, so they didn't come to the scene.

...

"President, the time for the draft is almost here."

Xiao Bald, who is currently an assistant to the president of the NBA, walked into the office specially prepared for the president and reminded Stern of the start of the draft.

"okay, I get it."

Stern came to the scene a long time ago. Of course, he also saw the "fierce" confrontation between Bruce and James Dolan. Although the distance was a bit far away, it was not clear what they were talking about, but Stern knew that the same city was Rivals, the collision between these two people will certainly not be less.

At the same time, Stern also clearly knows that he will not stop them. As long as it is clear, he welcomes them. After all, the NBA needs topics and influences, and the two of them can create these topics as New York (the facade of the NBA).

In the ensuing time, Stern actually saw Bruce recruiting his allies. Bruce now has his own small team. I have to say that children are really not good anymore. They are starting to get together at such a young age. Up.

And Bruce’s ally, he also knows that Fertitta and Cuban, the two newcomers who have joined recently, can't hold the scene at least for a short time. Unlike the old team in the league, they are both too young, but I believe ten. In a few years, it will almost become an influential team in the league.

But you still have to pay close attention to Bruce himself, lest you don't know when this little kid has some moths to make him wipe his ass.

...

At 20.00 in the evening (7.00 in the morning, Yanjing time), NBA President Stern finally stepped onto the front desk!

The much-anticipated 1996 draft has finally begun.

"Ladies and gentlemen...Welcome to the scene of the 1996 NBA Draft! I am David Stern. Tonight, I only represent the entire league and welcome a new group of talented young people to join the league! Hope you guys There is a bright future in the future. Now I announce the official start of this draft."

Stern was still a lot of nonsense nonsense at the beginning, and then he finally announced the start of the draft amidst sporadic boos in the eyes of the audience.

Bruce hurriedly tapped the table with his fingertips in his team's box, and his mood now can be described as extremely excited!

coming!

96 Golden Generation!

I can finally experience such a historically significant scene on the spot.

After Stern announced the official start of the draft!

The management of the Philadelphia 76ers also handed over the prepared note to the staff on the scene, and the staff quickly ran towards the backstage of the draft.

Five minutes later, Stern appeared again.

"I announce that the Philadelphia 76ers selected Allen Iverson from the University of Washington with the first overall pick in the first round!"

Iverson’s mother Anne and his two younger sisters were also at the draft. When Anne heard her son’s name was first pronounced, the family also shed tears of joy at the same time. They were also standing at this moment. Get up, cheer and scream happily, it's not easy, the hard days of the Iverson family are finally overwhelmed, and the good days are finally coming!

Accompanying the Iverson family at this moment is the agent Mark Bartstein, whom Bruce introduced to Iverson, and Mark is also comforting the Iverson family.

In addition, at another table, there was also a rookie, he was Ben Wallace, a teammate from Iverson University.

This time, Big Ben also participated in the draft like Iverson, but his qualifiers were relatively late, and belonged to the kind of the last in the first round in the early second round.

In any case, Daben is still happy that Iverson can become the top pick. After all, the two have been together for many years, and they belong to the kind of good Maki.

In college, as long as Iverson was violated, Big Ben immediately ran over to help him. This friendship is still relatively commendable.

At this time, the phone in Mark's hand rang, and after the connection...

"Congratulations, Allen."

In an inconspicuous box, a child lifted a glass of juice in the direction of the small green house and ate it.

At the scene, everyone was not surprised that Iverson was selected as the No. 1 pick. It is also normal. Except for Tim Duncan, who withdrew near the deadline for registration, no one can participate in the draft this year. On par with Iverson.

In this year's major media draft prediction lists, which list is not, the top pick predicts Iverson, so Iverson really deserves the top pick.

And Iverson, who was sitting in the small green house, finally let out a long sigh of relief. I was the top pick.

All this is true, I finally became the champion, mother, I did it!

Even the other rookies in the little green house congratulated Iverson.

High-five and celebrate with the friends in the small green house. When passing by the big table, hug him tightly and leave a sentence I will arrange for the team to choose you. After all, we have been together for 2-3 years. , Iverson has become accustomed to Big Ben by his side.

Then Iverson also came to the table of his mother and sister, kissed and hugged his mother Anne excitedly.

"Allen, don't thank the Philadelphia 76ers for a while, you have been traded."
