Louis thought about it, this is a good thing.

Pushed to a height beyond his own strength, it will force Xiao Yao to perfect his weaknesses. Even if he can't meet people's expectations in the end, he still has a chance to reach a level that he didn't reach in his previous life.

Although Xiao Yao has already booked the No. 1 pick for this year, next year, and the year after, he does not plan to run this year.

Because the timing is wrong.

The team that won this year's No. 1 pick is the New Jersey Nets. This is not a good team. In the history of the NBA, the brilliant strong teams are the objects that fans talk about, and there are also teams as bad as the Clippers.

However, the NBA also has little transparency like the Nets, which is silently rotten.

They haven't achieved anything since the merger era, have made few playoff appearances and aren't even interested in local fans.

It seems that the reason for their existence is to have an NBA team in New Jersey.

A team like this that has no foundation, no history and culture, and is extremely unsuitable for the growth of newcomers is definitely not the first choice of champions.

Still, not every would-be top pick can resist the temptation to become a millionaire a year early.

For example, Elton Brand of Duke University did not hold back and decided to run before the registration deadline.

If he stays in school, he may be in the same year as Yao Yueban in the future. At that time, let alone the number one pick, if there are other fierce people in the same year, he may not even get the second place.

So, running for the election now, throwing yourself into a weak team, even if you get the money, you will be afraid of it.

On the eve of the draft, the labor and management held final negotiations. It is said that the scene was not so much a negotiation as a scolding with swords drawn.

Pauline, the owner of the Washington Wizards (renamed), said they can no longer afford such high operating costs.

Michael Jordan, who replaced Wilson in the players union's position, was eager to perform. He came up with a sentence: "If you can't afford it, you can sell the team."

Ewing, the chairman of the union, is also one of the representatives of the radical hawks. When the Knicks exploded due to the luxury tax, Ewing was asked whether he would cut his salary to help the team reduce financial pressure. As a result, he said that the more you earn, the more you spend.

Today, he still has this attitude. Unsurprisingly, the negotiations between labor and management broke down. Subsequently, David Stern officially announced that the NBA will be suspended the day after this year's draft.

This is a very special moment.

Since Bob Cousy founded the players union in 1954, labor and management have fought countless times, quarreled, compromised, and fornicated. Whenever labor threatened to stop, the management always showed wavering.

This time, it is the employers who take the initiative to attack. If the goal cannot be achieved, even the suspension will be taken.

Although it has been shouted for 45 years, "If you can't do it, let it go", the players don't know what the suspension means.

Louie wasn't surprised by the moment and was fully committed to this year's draft.

Holding the 15th pick in the first round from the Clippers trade, they have many options.

This summer, Nash's rookie contract expired after he rejected the Lakers' contract extension and decided to test the free market this summer.

But he was unlucky, the league was suspended, and free agents this offseason couldn't pull around.

Having said that, the Lakers are ready for Nash Limo and this team.

In addition, veteran Joe Dumars was finally satisfied after winning three consecutive championships with the team.

During the military celebration, he announced his retirement in public, ending his 14-year career.

In this way, the most lacking position of the Lakers is very obvious.

It's the back line.

In a blink of an eye, the Lakers still have a sufficient guard line. The main rotation, the substitutes, and the substitutes are all gone. If they don't add a little manpower, they will encounter problems in the rotation next season.

But Louis looked around and said

Now it is expected that there will be players around the 15th pick, and there are no good defenders.

The guards with good prospects this year are all in the lottery. This is a bit troublesome.

The indecisive Lakers management ushered in the last NBA draft of the 20th century.

This year's draft was held in Washington, DC, so Auerbach has become a rare front-line representative of the Celtics.

Louis saw the old man holding a cigar in the draft war room, but was told that smoking was not allowed in the room.

he laughed.

That's right, it's the way to let the old man know that times have changed, and the world of the 60-70's where you can smoke anywhere is gone forever.

Stern came to the stage with a fake smile. From the moment he appeared, he was booed.

Then, ten minutes later, the New Jersey Nets, holding the No. 1 pick, made their choice.

Without any suspense, Elton Brand, known as the enhanced version of Wes Unseld, was elected as the No. 1 pick.

"Can he play center if he's so short?" Buss Jr. said contemptuously, "I think Ti scored 50 points on him."

Louie jokingly said: "I'll let Ti try it out next season." The team with the second pick is the Chicago Bulls. The decision they made is the biggest gamble of this draft.

Five minutes later, Stern declared: "Chicago Bulls select...Jonathan Bender (SG/SF/PF/C) with the second overall pick in the first round, out of Puinyuca High School!"

"Crazy decision!"

TNT's Ernie Johnson's review says it all. Subsequently, TNT began broadcasting highlights of Bender's game. Louie discovered that this person was not a college student, but a high school student. In the highlights, he didn't feel like a center, but like a shooting guard. It's really amazing that a seven-footer can move and hold the ball like this.

He was seen as a cross between Danny Manning and Hank Gaithers, and even some braggart scouts said he was a seven-foot magician.

Bender's high school is the result of the butterfly effect. The emergence of generations of unicorn insiders such as Sampson, Manning, and Garnett has made professional basketball crazy about players who look like insiders but play like guards. The rebuilding Bulls decided to take this big gamble , can be considered excusable.

But Louis had never heard of this player in his previous life, so it is basically certain that the Bulls will lose the underpants. Moreover, Bender's high school highlights did not give him the feeling that the so-called Manning and Gaithers, let alone a magician, had nothing to do with it.

What he really looks like is Thorn Maker, a South Sudanese-Australian who appears to be six years younger and plays like a seven-footer Durant in a low-level high school league.

An insider with long hands and feet, outstanding athletic ability, and ability to dribble is invincible in low-level games.

Maker's flaws are exposed at a high level of play. And Bender seems to be at a higher level. He broke Michael Jordan's single-game scoring record in the McDonald's All-American game not long ago.

This proves that he has the potential to be competitive at a high level.

It's just that there are many ways to destroy a genius, and no one knows what he will encounter in Chicago.

With the third pick, the Denver Nuggets are the No. 2 gambler in this draft.

They used the No. 3 pick to select talented left-handed magician Lamar Odom, but his professional attitude has been questioned.

Then came the Utah Jazz, who selected white shooter Wally Sczerbiak with the fourth pick.

It's still a puzzling decision.

The point guard Double Wall in this draft was actually snubbed in the top four selections. Book

Then, one of the doubles, Steve Francis, was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the fifth overall pick.

The Philadelphia 76ers took fellow double-wall Baron Davis with the sixth pick.

The Washington Wizards took Richard Hamilton with the No. 7 pick.

The No. 8 pick owner, the New York Knicks (from the Raptors), took an unconventional path, skipping several others who were obviously better, and selected Du

Tulajan Langdon ( ) of the University of New York.

Louis thought he heard it wrong, is this crazy? Was it Baylor's pick? That would make sense if it was Baylor's pick.

The Seattle SuperSonics then selected Andre Miller with the ninth pick.

The Charlotte Hornets are also a heavyweight, leaving aside Shawn Marion, Jason Terry and other popular candidates, and selected the European giant Aleksandar Radojevic (Aleksandar RadojevC) involved in the bribery scandal with the tenth pick.

This made Louis see hope for a while.

If there is a blind team behind, wouldn't they have a chance to sign Terry? Although not a pure point guard, he is a guard anyway.

As long as five consecutive teams go blind after that...well, as long as there are five consecutive

Is it difficult? There are already so many crazy teams in front of them, so it's not difficult to make five more crazy teams, right?

Louis' wish was quickly shattered.

The Milwaukee Bucks selected Shawn Marion with the 11th overall pick.

The Detroit Pistons selected Jason Terry with the twelfth pick.

The atmosphere in the Lakers draft war room froze. "What can I do about it?" asked Buzz Jr.

West suggested: "Try William Avery (illiaveryPG)? Isn't he from Duke? What does Coach K think of him?"

Louis and Coach K are old friends, but he doesn't need to ask Coach K because he doesn't know the player.

that's enough.

Zhao Yuanzheng said: "Coach K has praised William's enthusiasm and mental strength on many occasions, maybe... maybe he is a good player."

What is the difference between this and the confession object saying "you are a good person, but we are not suitable"?

"Okay, it seems that Benj and Dejan will have to suffer next season. There is no one left. I can't blame me."

Speaking, Louis called the draft conference site: "Please let Ron Artest answer the phone."

This is Louie's spare tire.

Only when there is no defender to choose, he will choose this man who is not called Ci Shiping.

Although West and others still have some doubts, Louis has already made a decision~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Artest was excited to express his loyalty when he learned that the caller was Louis.

Louis chatted with him for a few words before hanging up the phone. Then

"In the 1999 NBA draft, the Los Angeles Lakers selected with the fifteenth pick in the first round... Ron Artest, from St. John's University!"

PS: My mouse seems to be crazy too. The reason is this, these two days I went out with my family on a trip with my laptop on my back (you ask me why I travel with a laptop? Then am I wrong to keep updated and type before going to bed at night), everything was normal before I went home. But when I got home, my wireless mouse was bewildered, and its sensitivity began to increase sharply. Then I adjusted it in the control panel, but there was no result. The same is true for adjusting the sensitivity of the mouse. So I changed to a wired mouse, and even weirder things happened. The sensitivity of the wired mouse was extremely slow, and the adjustment on the panel was also ineffective...Desperately, I clicked on the panel to restore the setting to default.

Admittedly, the result was even more outrageous. The speed of the wireless mouse was fast and the wired mouse was slow, and a new problem appeared. The left button of the mouse can click on the webpage normally, but those on the control panel are out of order... Also, the progress bar cannot be dragged when watching movies with the player that comes with the computer. Is this mouse madness or computer madness?
