NBA Drunken Master: I want to play drunk basketball!

Jerry West wondered, "But we don't have chips, who to exchange for?" "

Abdul-Jabbar?" Zhou Chen boldly said his thoughts.

West smiled wryly and shook his head: "Who do you think would exchange a lotto pick for a 38-year-old veteran who was seriously injured?"

Zhou Chen continued: "James Worthy? Jerry

West was shocked again when he heard Zhou Chen's thoughts.

He saw incomparable decisiveness in Zhou Chen's eyes, without any trace of indecision, even though Worthy was his senior.

He saw from Zhou Chen that this kid had the potential to be a manager.

But West eventually rejected his offer.

James Worthy is only 24 years old this year, and although injured, West knows that Worthy's future is definitely promising.

As a general manager, it is impossible for him to exchange a star who has proven his ability for a rookie.

"Old man, do you really have to stop thinking about it?"

West shook his head resolutely, although Zhou Chen is the future core of this team, but as the general manager, he still has authority and voice, and he firmly does not agree to exchange Worthy for draft picks.

The 1985 NBA Draft continued.

David Stern continued to read from the high platform.

"The Seattle SuperSonics selected Xavier McDaniel from Wichita State University with the fourth overall pick."

"The Atlanta Hawks, selected Jon Cowenkeck from Southern Methodist University with the fifth overall pick."

......

"The Golden State Warriors selected Chris Mullin from St. John's University with the seventh overall pick!"

A graduate of a local school in New York, Mullin also caused a cheer from the audience when he came on the field.

From Rick Barry at the beginning, to Chris Moulin now, and then to Curry and Thompson in the back.

The Warriors seem to have always had a penchant for good shooters, and they were founded on the belief that basketball is a shooting sport.

In this era of intense emotions and internal confrontation, the Warriors' vision can be said to be very ahead.

"This kid also came to the Lakers for a trial, and his performance is really good, I feel that he is not inferior to you in three points."

West said to Zhou Chen with a smile.

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly and replied, "And then?" So you're willing to trade Worthy for Mullin? Zhou

Chen is looking forward to his teaming up with Mullin, after all, now he also has Stephen Curry's three-point skill package, if he can partner with the "golden left hand", maybe he can really open the small-ball era in advance.

West was already smiling on the side, and said, "You can't think of your senior so much?

"Of course not." Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's just that Worthy's injury makes me a little worried.

"Hey, dude, he's only 24 years old, we should give him some time, as a team at a time like this, you can't get into the hole, you say?"

West explained in a serious way.

Zhou Chen was too lazy to listen to this old fox's nonsense, the NBA is a business field, the law of the jungle, natural selection of the fittest to survive.

Such a simple truth, how could Old Fox West not understand?

If Worthy's injury was really serious, West would have considered selling him a long time ago, and the reason why he refused to let Worthy go must still have his considerations.

Because Worthy's injury, although not very serious, is also likely to return until the middle and late next season.

At that time, the Lakers have the bird rights to sign Worthy, and West must want to take the opportunity to lower the price of Worthy to reduce the team's expenses.

The draft continues as usual.

The order of history has not changed much.

The Cleveland Cavaliers selected Charles "Old Oak" Oakley with the 9th overall pick, but traded him to the Chicago Bulls.

Oakley will be Jordan's right-hand man, and he will be a teammate that young Joe relies on his mature journey.

The Utah Jazz eventually selected their beloved Carl Malone with the 13th overall pick.

A legendary story in the history of the Jazz about "black and white" begins, and it will become the Lakers' most powerful competitor in the West for a long time to come.

The Detroit Pistons picked Joe Dumas with the 18th overall pick.

The "Bad Boy Legion" has welcomed a new member, and "Smiling Assassin" Thomas has an additional helper by his side.

The Lakers chose "Ironman" AC Green with the 23rd pick in the first round.

After shaking hands with Stern on stage and taking photos, Green came to the field and greeted Zhou Chen warmly.

"Hey buddy, you're my idol! Looking forward to joining forces next season! Zhou

Chen looked at Grimm, who was about the same age as himself, but looked very old, and felt very kind.

In his previous life, he also heard an interesting story about Green, that is, the reason why he was able to gallop on the NBA court like an iron man was because he was abstinent for 38 years and was still a boy until he retired.

"Brother, you tell the truth to your brother, are you really still a virgin?" Zhou Chen's eyes rolled drippingly, and he looked at this guy up and down.

AC Green was startled when he heard Zhou Chen's words.

"After the draft is over, do you want to take you to the nightclub once?" Zhou Chen quipped.

Green's face changed, and he pushed Zhou Chen away: "Brother, don't make trouble, I read the Bible." "

“...... I read Spring and Autumn! The

draft continued, and the Lakers eventually selected Manute Poll from the African continent with the 7th pick in the second round.

When the 2.31-meter giant took the stage, it caused an exclamation at the scene.

When it came to the fourth round of the draft, the Lakers used the 16th pick from the Mavericks to select Sparte Webb.

In the draft, the Lakers selected the tallest player and shortest player in NBA history.

This operation made NBA reporters shout that they couldn't understand.

After the draft, when Webb and Boll stood together, Webb, who was only 1.7 meters tall, only reached Pol's waist.

Pol is almost half as tall as him!

At that time, when reporters in New York saw this funny scene, they even joked: "Are the Lakers picking comedians?" At

this time, no one knew about the huge energy contained in Webb and Pol.

In this way, the Lakers' roster for the new season has basically taken shape.

The long offseason is fleeting.

The busy summer for NBA teams is over.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the NBA regular season of 1985-86 is about to begin.

Zhou Chen's left elbow injury has healed, and he will lead the new Lakers team to Madison Square in the opener.

It was also the first time he and Ewing had met in the NBA since their NBAA Finals.

Without Johnson the Magician, without Abdul-Jabbar, without Worthy.

Everyone has a common question in their hearts:

Will Zhou Chen's single-core team continue the magical performance of last season?
