All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 76: Who is it that cut us off?
New York, Big Apple City.
Su Feng remembered that when he came here last time, he and Kobe came over to play with Sam Gold.
As a result, in the slums of Brooklyn, Su Feng witnessed "the magical skills come to life."
One and a half years later, when Su Feng came to New York again, his identity had become a member of the "96 Golden Generation".
June 26, 1996 is destined to be a day that will be remembered in history.
this summer in 1996...
When Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to overlook the league with an incredible record...
A group of passionate young people also took their youthful steps and stepped onto the NBA stage.
The four major shooting guards and the four major PFs will successively take over the authority from their predecessors. The old order will eventually be replaced by the new order.
The shark swims to the west, the throne changes, and the stone Buddha can't come out. Who will fight?
East Esico, North Kanam, Webber driver, and the wolf king roared, who has such a "single" show?
It is worth mentioning that when Su Feng walked into the small green house in Madison Square Garden, the hot man at the moment was really a primary school student.
um...
Hmm!
As we all know, after the introduction of lottery rules and small green houses in the NBA, in the annual draft, the general managers of each team will select 15 small green house candidates fairly, objectively and without falsification.
Therefore, as the cornerstone of David Stern's bridge over the sea, why can't Su Jishi enter the small green house?
Cough, I can't wash it anymore, let's talk about the next paragraph.
As a member of the Little Green House, the biggest advantage is that everyone will be given the right to shake hands with Stern before the start of the draft, and will also receive the personal “blessings” from the NBA president.
Of course, whether it is a blessing or a poisonous milk, it depends on your true ability.
In other words, when shaking hands with Stern, Su Feng always felt that the big man looked at himself twice.
"Su Feng, nice to meet you."
Moreover, Stern definitely practiced his own name pronunciation specially because he didn't pronounce his name as "Shufen".
"Hello, sir."
This is the first time that Su Feng and Stern have met. Stern is not very tall. He is very kind while wearing glasses. He always smiles when shaking hands with every rookie.
Then, when I saw Su Feng in person, what was Stern’s first impression of Su Feng?
Handsome?
That's impossible, this president is not so superficial.
"It really is a good seed for idol stars."
Emmmmm......
In fact, apart from being handsome, Su Feng really didn't impress Stern too much.
In this way, before the start of the draft, Su Feng left a valuable group photo with the other 96th Green House members.
At this time, in the draft venue, all the gods of the 1996 draft convention have all arrived.
and even Su Feng, who has always been calm and calm...
After seeing so many people who had been hacked in the previous life, he couldn't help taking a breath.
"Su, don't be nervous!" Kobe, who was holding Su Feng's left hand firmly, said while watching Su Feng in a cold sweat.
Su Feng: "......"
In the draft venue, Su Feng's family sat next to Kobe's family, and not far from them was Iverson, who was blocked by a chubby "hair ball".
Speaking of it, although it has been a while, Su Feng was still curious why Iverson would pass the ball to himself during the trial.
The camera position on the scene quickly pointed at Iverson, who was about to take the top pick tonight.
And that chubby "hair ball", that is, Iverson’s mother, Ann Iverson seemed to be afraid that others would not know Iverson was her son, and kept pointing to the camera with her finger The son of Allen Iverson.
Facing the camera, Iverson kissed his wife who was sitting next to him, and his wife was holding her and Iverson’s newborn baby in his hands.
I have to say, Jie Ke is really, the whole family is playing together.
"Su, your parents are too calm, right?"
In the future, many Kommies will always think that Kobe is not afraid of the sky, but in fact, after getting along with Su Feng, he discovered that Kobe is also an ordinary person.
just like he would be nervous.
After all, he is not yet 18 years old now.
Su Feng smiled and patted Kobe on the shoulder, "Because my parents don't understand English, I told them, just be a little happy when I read my name."
Kobe nodded, and unconsciously clenched Su Feng's left hand.
In fact, at this time in the draft venue, Kobe is not the only nervous.
Because not far from the draft venue, it is the "temporary war room" of the NBA29 team.
After the Grizzlies and the Raptors joined the league in 1995, the NBA has expanded to 29 teams. As for the 30th team...
Don’t worry, haven’t you seen that the boss of Team 30 is now creating the Second Dynasty?
Wait until he retires!
……
倀—!
New York, Madison Square Garden, there used to be a joke called, when you hear a boo, when does it mean that the draft has begun.
Amid the boos on the scene, NBA Commissioner David Stern appeared "shiny".
It’s worth mentioning that before the shutdown arrived not long ago, Stern’s booing was not too violent.
Don't ask, ask is that Stern's face doesn't change.
off the court, every rookie has a one-and-twenty spirit at this moment.
Especially the players in the small green house, they are extremely looking forward to which team they will be selected.
"Kobe...I don't think you need to worry too much, really."
Su Feng, who was a little distressed about his left hand, looked at Kobe and said.
"I'm not nervous, Sue, but don't be too nervous."
Kobe was "not nervous" on the surface, but he actually held it tighter and said.
Su Feng: ORZ.
On the podium, after a short opening remarks, the time has come to reveal the answer.
I saw Stern read out unhurriedly: "The Philadelphia 76ers, who have the first round and the first overall pick, chose—"
"Allen Iverson from Georgetown University!"
This is an answer without suspense.
When Iverson’s name was pronounced, there were cheers on the scene.
And Ann Iverson was dancing with excitement.
Although Iverson, who has a small flat head, is far less aggressive than he was later on, his big eyes do make you feel like he is discharging every second.
Su Feng’s previous life, it’s not unreasonable that Iverson’s female fans are mostly female fans. After all, this kind of rebellious little handsome guy is really lethal.
I saw Iverson stepping onto the stage in a gray suit and a 76ers hat. Then, Iverson’s college game was shown on the big screen.
The question of the ownership of the champion has been settled.
But for the 96th draft, which is called the golden generation by the media, now, this draft has just begun.
Then, Stern pronounced Marcus Camby's name with the second pick in the first round.
This is also a choice without suspense.
Because you don’t have to look at it with a passing perspective, the Raptors will have nothing wrong with choosing Camby in this position.
Camby is the best talented inside player in the '96.
At this time, the Raptors are still a new team. Adhering to the concept of building a team around the inside, it is reasonable to choose Camby.
The third overall pick in the first round, Stern said the name of Sharif Abdul Rahim.
Like the Raptors, as the new team, the Vancouver Grizzlies dare not do anything in the draft.
Raheem is proficient in technology and has excellent footsteps. In the future, he will score more than 20+ in five seasons of his career.
In the 99/00 season, he also won "20+10" and was selected to the All-Star.
The next fourth and fifth picks are the same as Su Feng remembered. The Bucks chose Marbury and the Timberwolves chose Ray Allen.
If Su Feng remembers correctly, the Timberwolves will exchange with the Bucks soon.
Next, it's time for the Celtics to sign.
Stern said the name of the volute.
um...
is not the volute next to Su Feng, but the volute of Antoine Walker.
Although Walker has a "you dare to look at me, I will kill you", but in fact, if you look at him, he will give you a few rebounds at most in front of you.
Walker belongs to a man whose age and rules cannot prevent him from throwing a three-pointer, and the more inaccurate, the happier he throws.
If it weren’t for his career experience, Su Feng even felt that this guy had the same system as himself.
Then, the seventh overall pick in the first round of 1996, the Clippers...
slightly.
"The Dallas Mavericks, who had the first round and the eighth overall pick, chose—"
When I heard the eighth pick and the Dallas Mavericks, Su Feng always felt that something was wrong.
and soon, he knew what was wrong.
let me set the time forward a few minutes...
Soon after the Clippers chose Lorenzen-White, the Mavericks uniform team had become a mess in the front war room of the Mavericks.
Because next, it's their turn to make a choice.
However, there is still no movement in Los Angeles.
Just a day ago, Jerry West had just met with the Mavericks uniform.
"I want your first round lottery." When the LOGO man came up, he went straight to the topic.
"But Jerry, you have to know, this is the eighth pick in the first round of 1996."
The new Mavericks coach Clemens who participated in this meeting laughed.
"I know, therefore, we will send Villaty Divac to Dallas." West said calmly.
Before the old Nelson went to Dallas and Cuban had not bought the Mavericks, I’m sorry, even if the Mavericks next season will soon have the "Dallas Three Masters", they are not afraid to poke the hearts of the enthusiasts. ——
The garbage in the spicy chicken.
As we all know, Dallas is famous for racial discrimination, so this makes the Mavericks always difficult when recruiting stars.
The time when Nowitzki is about to retire after winning the championship is an example. At that time, no matter how the old driver cut his salary, no superstar was willing to go to Dallas.
until the man named 077 appeared.
So, when West said he would send Divac to Dallas, the Mavericks uniform team was excited.
Because the Mavericks at this time are thinking of picking an inside player in the draft.
What's more, a good white center like Divac?
It’s just that Clemens, who feels he is good at negotiating, said after thinking about it for a while: "Verratti’s salary is a problem. I think you need to add some chips."
West seems to have responded early, "No problem, so, how about I give you our second-round pick next year?"
"Next year's second round pick?" Clemens shook his head.
"That way, I will give you Ceballos and Eddie Jones."
"Or, I will give you the entire Los Angeles Lakers?"
After speaking, West turned and left.
At this time, the Mavericks uniform team was in a hurry.
What an international joke, this year the Mavericks are going to choose Samaki Walker. From the point of view of the Mavericks uniform group, how come Divac is better...
, you know, Divac is twenty-eight at this time, which is exactly the year of the fight.
In this era of more conservative thinking, to use the terms of the Mavericks uniform group: The Lakers are giving us big gifts!
In Su Feng’s previous life, West did not trade up for a higher position. In addition to the objective fact that the first round of the 96 Golden Generation was worth the money, there was another reason because the Hornets at the time were a "missing center." Eastern team.
You know, sending Divac to trade for Kobe is just the first step in the next chess game that West will play.
Will West know how good Divac is?
West is unwilling to give Divac to his opponent in the West, either emotionally or threateningly.
It's just that the appearance of Su Feng in this life made West unable to avoid the Mavericks' idea.
To put it bluntly, the LOGO man wanted to jump out of the LOGO and beat Su Feng.
At the moment, the Mavericks are missing a center. At the same time, their eighth pick is the safest choice for Kobe in West's view.
West believes that the Mavericks will agree to the deal.
But in order to ensure that this transaction can be completed, he is willing to add another second-round pick, and this is already the limit West can bear.
more...
Then it’s not a deal, it’s really being blackmailed.
Well, despite a lot of talk, the PY deal between the Mavericks and the Lakers was finally concluded.
According to the agreement, the Mavericks will be responsible for choosing a person for West with their first-round eighth pick in the draft. After that, the Lakers will complete the transaction with them.
"Who do you want to choose?" the Mavericks uniform team asked curiously.
"You'll know at that time." In order to ensure that no moths will be released, West is tight-lipped even with his trading partners about to PY.
Then, let's return the camera to the war room in front of the Mavericks.
"It’s only five minutes away, isn’t the Lakers lying to us?"
The Mavericks uniform team felt that they were fooled by the Lakers, after waiting for the instructions from Los Angeles, they were almost dying...
Because next, it's their turn to make a choice.
"Forget it, wait, if it doesn't work, just..."
And just when the Mavericks uniform team decided not to wait for the notification from Los Angeles, the Lakers called.
"Please help me choose Kobe Bryant." Jerry West said on the phone.
……
"The Dallas Mavericks, who had the first round and the eighth overall pick, chose—"
"From Raul Merion, Kobe Bryant!"
At the draft conference venue, when Kobe heard his name, he could be regarded as letting go of his hand that had been holding Su Feng's left hand...
Just when Kobe was busy and excited, Su Feng was dumbfounded.
ha?
The eighth rookie?
Dallas Mavericks?
"Aren't the Mavericks ninth pick? Wait..."
Although I didn’t understand why the Mavericks became the eighth overall pick, Su Feng remembered that the Mavericks were not short of outside players.
because they own Jim Jackson and Marshburn...
咦?
Yes, at this time the Mavericks do not lack outside lines, but they lack inside lines!
and the Mavericks uniform group of this period is quite NC...
Because they left Dampier behind and did not choose, instead they ran to choose Samaki Walker. As a result, they went around in the future. Dampier went to the Mavericks after a few years.
After thinking about it, Su Feng felt that he had guessed the answer.
As expected, just after Kobe wore a Mavericks hat on stage to show for a lap...
When he returned to the meeting place beside his family, besides hugging his parents, he quietly said in Su Feng's ear, "Su, you know, my agent told me not to rush for an interview." /
Su Feng nodded, pretending to know nothing, looked at Kobe curiously and asked: "What then?"
"He told me that the Lakers have made a deal and I am going to the Los Angeles Lakers!" Kobe was excited like a child at the moment.
"..."
LOGO man, he is the LOGO man.
Even if Kobe gets the eighth overall pick, he can still take him to Los Angeles.
Su Feng took it...
However, the trajectory of history seems to be different from before.
Because Su Feng remembered that in Kobe’s biography, Kobe knew that he was going to the Los Angeles Lakers, at least a few days later...
Well, although I don’t know what went wrong, but seeing Kobe change from the No. 13 rookie to the No. 8 rookie in this life, don’t say, Su Feng doesn’t even feel that it is a violation...
"Su, I won't go to the interview for now, I want to see where you will be selected."
The excited Kobe sat next to Su Feng. At this time, he has completely lost his previous tension.
"Don't be nervous!" Bryant smiled and patted Su Feng on the shoulder.
Su Feng: "......"
After Kobe was selected with the eighth overall pick, although the ninth overall Nets and the Mavericks were reversed, they still chose Corey Kittles.
"Well...It seems that the reason why the Lakers choose Kobe with the eighth pick is that they know that if they don’t choose Kobe with the eighth pick, the Nets are likely to be there. I have chosen Kobe."
Su Feng knew that the situation in this life was completely different from the previous life because of his appearance.
In the original past life, in the eyes of many media, Kittles was superior to Kobe during this period.
But in this life, a few days before the draft, Su Feng found that many media believe that Kobe's potential is higher than Kittles.
"The LOGO man is really too stable. In his previous life he got the thirteenth pick, and he also got the eighth pick in this life..."
Su Feng feels that I must find a way to test the LOGO male when I have a chance in the future.
Because of this stuff, it's so embarrassing like going through the party.
Next, with the 10th overall pick, the Pacers chose Dampier, who did not call himself the number one center forward in the Western Conference and was then abused by Yao Ming and O'Neal.
But vomiting is returning to vomiting. There is a saying that Dampier is indeed relatively good in the pile of meat shields in the future.
In the first round with the eleventh overall pick, the Warriors who had previously looked down upon Su Feng chose Todd Fowler.
Well, this choice is just as bad as the Warriors uniforms of this period.
The 12th overall pick in the first round, the Cavaliers chose Peter Tapan, the wall of Ukrainian flesh.
Maybe it was because he was still excited after being selected. Su Feng at this time could clearly feel that Kobe could not wait to be interviewed.
"Why don't you... go to the interview first, I think it's a long time on my side."
Su Feng estimated that he would have to be selected before or after 20th place, so looking at the already impatient Kobe, Su Feng smiled.
"No...I'll stay with you." Bryant said after tangling for a while.
Su Feng is happy, it really is a steel friendship, really worthy of being a plug-in for my long-term investment, reliable!
while Su Feng was chatting with Kobe...
"The Charlotte Hornets, who had the 13th overall pick in the first round, chose—"
"From Raul Meilien, Su Feng——!"
Su Feng: "......"
When he heard Stern say his name, Su Feng was startled for a moment, and then dumbfounded.
Especially after Kobe, who was more excited than him, shook him for several laps, Su Feng can be described as stunned, dazed, dizzy...
"Weiguo, is our son selected?" Wang Yuanyuan on the side was surprised.
"It seems to be!" Su Weiguo echoed.
1996, the thirteenth rookie in the first round......
Su Feng pointed at herself.
介......
When Su Feng was on stage, he could no longer hear the cheers or boos around him.
Looking at the amiable president on stage, Su Feng always feels like he is dreaming~IndoMTL.com~ Congratulations, Su Feng. "Stern patted Su Feng on the shoulder, and Su Feng also put it on...
Charlotte Hornets hat.
Su Feng, who is familiar with the Hornets lineup during this period, knows very well that the Hornets have no shortage of outside lines at this time.
and I haven't tried the Hornets.
So after calming down, Su Feng’s first reaction was:
Which team is betting themselves with such a high pick?
Actually...
just when Su Feng forced the tree to look dumbfounded.
In the front war room, the king uniforms, supersonic uniforms, and Phoenix uniforms all felt like a ghost...
Who is it that cut us off?
After saying a few words according to the draft prepared before the start of the draft, Su Feng, who stepped down, quickly got the answer.
Bill Duffy pulled him aside with joy.
"Su, keep a low profile in the interview, don't mention how to position and develop these things in the team in the future." Bill Duffy said quietly.
"Huh?" Su Feng looked at his agent curiously.
"The Philadelphia 76ers have officially submitted a transaction application!
The staff in Philadelphia just told me that this transaction can be completed only after the approval of the alliance is over! "Bil Duffy patted Su Feng on the shoulder and smiled.
fee......
Philadelphia 76ers?
