NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 433 : The 1997 draft, the Jazz's choice

That is, while Wang Pan and Selena were planning the specific arrangements and plans for the holiday, the high-profile 1997-NBA Draft originally scheduled to begin on June 25th was postponed due to unknown reasons. Ten days, finally officially opened on July 5th.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the 21-year-old Tim, who is unstoppable in the college league, big S Quartet? Duncan's attribution is in question.

This is a cornerstone-level big man super rookie that all teams in the league want to get. In the just-concluded 1996-97 season, no fewer than eight teams in the entire league were willing to smash it.

After a lot of fierce and fierce competition, the Grizzlies in the West did their best to win the league's last regular season record, while the Celtics outnumbered the Celtics in the East, with a gap of one win. Regrettably, he ranked second in the league with a regular season record.

The former, as a rookie who has just entered the league and will be in for two seasons, urgently needs a superstar as the cornerstone of the team to build a lineup around it, so as to achieve the team's take-off. "Five Two Three" As for the latter, in the legendary superstar force King Larry? After Bird retired, he was immediately devastated and plunged into the quagmire. The regular season record was very sparse, and the team's competitiveness was very stretched/collapsed. What about getting Tim? Duncan was equally eager.

Think of it directly as the key to the team's rise again!

For Duncan, the Grizzlies and Celtics are bound to win.

As the two teams with the worst regular season record in the league this season, from a probabilistic point of view, the Grizzlies and the Celtics won the No. 1 lottery, so they got Tim? Duncan's odds are undoubtedly the highest, but it is a pity that people in charge of drawing lots on the two teams are relatively unlucky.

The Grizzlies only drew the fourth pick, ignoring his shining regular season record. The Celtics were a little bit lucky and drew the third pick, which is also far behind expectations. , The mood is not beautiful.

The No. 1 pick was finally obtained by the Spurs. The second pick fell into the last draft and got Allen with the No. 1 pick? In the hands of Iverson's 76ers.

For this result, the Spurs were very pleasantly surprised, and the 76ers calmly stated that this was a routine exercise/give it up. Their luck has always been good, and they are definitely about to rise next season.

The other picks were drawn quickly. The Jazz only had one pick for No. 27 in the first round and no pick for the second round. After getting this result, the team immediately contacted Wang Pan for his opinion.

The performance and progress of the team this season is obvious to all, and it has proved the poison/spicy of Wang Pan's vision.

Without Wang Pan's strong suggestion, who would have thought that such a short losing striker had such impressive potential.

In addition, the Jazz has already determined Wang Pan as the core cornerstone of the team's future, and the lot they hold is not high, and there is no choice. Naturally, they are happy to release some kindness to him.

Wang Pan was not polite. After watching a round, he gave his recommendation list. As for how the team will choose in the end, he doesn't know and can't control it.

Compared with the 96-year talents, shining stars, and the naked eye, there are undoubtedly fewer star seedlings in the 97-th draft, Tim? Duncan's one person's limelight overwhelmed all other rookies.

In the end, there was no surprise. The Spurs chose Tim with the No. 1 pick? Duncan, there is also Admiral David, one of the four major centers in the team? Robinson, their internal strength in the new season will be unprecedentedly strong, and their competitiveness has been greatly improved. They are considered to be a major stumbling block for the Jazz to build a dynasty.

And with Tim? Duncan, the biggest rookie in the draft this year, was selected by the Spurs, and other teams, especially those with higher picks, suddenly had a lot of mentality.

The 76ers chose Tim with the second pick? Duncan was suddenly bright, known as Larry? Keith, Bird's successor? Van horn.

Unexpectedly, he did not choose to keep it in the team. Instead, he was directly traded to the Nets. From the Nets' side, he averaged 25.7 points per game during the peak/peak period, and he is still in the game. Jim of the year? Jackson, with Allen? Iverson, and Jerry? Stackhouse formed a back line with superb scoring ability.

According to the personal average data of the 9677 season, the three can contribute 60+ points per game together, and the offensive firepower is not terrifying!

Of course, whether the three can play their due combat power and form a good chemical reaction will not be known until the new season begins and the actual competition on the field.

The draft continues...

Did the Celtics fail to get Tim? Duncan, Keith? When Van Horn was also selected, he took the second place and got the NCAA star point guard with the No. 3 pick. Chauncey? Billups.

The next Grizzlies used the fourth pick to choose the 1.93 guard Antonio? Daniels. Then the Nuggets, holding the No. 5 pick, then chose the big center Tony, who is 2.11 meters tall? Betty.

Later, the Celtics, Nets, Warriors and other teams all made their own choices.

The Green Army, occupying two of the top ten picks, is very eye-catching.

The second concern is the Toronto Raptors. They got the high school genius Tracy McGrady with the ninth pick and are ready to gamble on tomorrow.

As the home team of Wang Pan, it is still a super strong team that has won consecutive championships. Although the Jazz's signing is relatively late, it also attracted a lot of attention. In the end, they chose the 27th overall pick in the first round. There is no question boy Stephen at this conference who has any sense of existence? Jackson, beyond everyone's expectations? ? 0 heard David? Stern reported his name, Stephen? Jackson looked incredible. After reacting, he jumped up from his seat in excitement. This is the two championships in the past two seasons. The strong and powerful Jazz, I can join it, and it's not too much to mix in the championship. .

It's really great!

Feel the envy of the rookies around you who have not yet been selected, Stephen? Jackson couldn't help holding up his own moon, stepping onto the stage, and expressing his own testimonials, saying that he would work hard to contribute and help the team. There is no rumor-like jealous eagle. He seems very... well, well-behaved.

Upon seeing this, the Jazz general manager nodded secretly, his eyes full of expectation.

Book? Wallace has given them no small surprises this season. They have been able to make a certain contribution to the team in the first season. If they continue to maintain the current pace of progress next season, they will definitely be able to become the team's substitute. The defensive vanguard in the lineup can be of great use.

What if Stephen? Jackson can also make rapid progress like Big Ben. With the big shooter Peja who is about to join the team in the new season, the Jazz's dynasty road will go smoother.

Dynasty!

What they didn't even dare to think about in the past is now in front of them. Thinking about it is enthusiasm + fullness.

It can be predicted that the Jazz’s management and coaching staff are destined not to rest for too long this holiday. They will try their best to maintain the team’s main lineup for the championship. Make some adjustments and enhancements, everything is for that dynasty dream.

And chose Stephen with his only draft pick? After Jackson, the Jazz has already ended this draft. They didn’t pay much attention to the draft choices of other teams. After all, there are really not many notable talented rookies this year. The famous ones are basically in the top ten picks. They were all selected. The rest are relatively general, so there is no need to pay attention.

Soon, the current draft is over, won Tim? Duncan’s Spurs became the biggest winner and attracted a lot of attention. Everyone started to look forward to the Spurs’ performance in the new season, wondering if it could put enough pressure on the Jazz and whether it could be The Jazz pulled down from the throne.

As a player, Wang Pan gave his own draft suggestions and simply took a look at the status of the draft conference, he did not pay attention to it, but concentrated on enjoying the good life of the holiday with Selena... ….
