Section 10 Some casual affairs and lottery results

After a period of continuous rainy days, the time came to the middle of May: the 19th

Since returning to Charlotte from Chicago on April 18, Young has fallen directly into the two-point-and-one-line mode of his home training facility because of the training team found by BJ Armstrong.

Even during this period, he directly refused to participate in the joint trial organized by the league.

Although the favorites for the No. 1 pick often refuse to work out at the combine, what exactly is it about Young that gets him stuck in training?

The answer is:

tennis

Yes, it was because of tennis. When the training team first introduced a tennis practice plan that asked Yang to lower his center of gravity and dribble vigorously with one hand to catch the throw with his backhand, he almost wanted to call his agent to replace him, but he thought about the contract.

Liquidated damages:

Forget it, if you don’t have much money, just practice being obedient.

It's just that the first day of practice was miserable. Although his vision could be divided into two areas, it was simply embarrassing for him to dribble while receiving a tennis ball that was smaller than a basketball.

After a while, the tennis ball dropped n times in a row.

Even though he is the chosen one, he still has to be cruel to himself.

That night, after eating another steamed sea bass that had no taste at all, Yang started to practice more.

"Da da da da da da"

8 o'clock, 9 o'clock

When the time came to nearly 9 o'clock, the floor of the small trial gym at home finally got rid of the curse of dropped tennis balls.

"Oh, we are practicing a new thing today." When Yang told the person in charge Richard the next day, the other person just said "oh" and asked his men to launch a new machine.

"equipment?"

"We don't need you to pay for it."

"ok, how to do it."

"Dry the ball and shoot the lights at the same time."

"Okay, it's easier than yesterday."

"Bah, bang, bang..." Two minutes later, as Yang turned off the last light, Mr. Richard took out a secret weapon from his arms: an oversized goggles.

It has to be said that this trainer found the problem: relying on the eyes

Therefore, in the next half month, Yang, who was wearing goggles, began to be constantly stressed, from dribbling with one hand to catching and throwing tennis balls backhand to dribbling behind his back to catching and throwing tennis balls with crossover backhand, everything he could think of.

All the dribbles were passed over.

After dribbling the ball for the first time, Yang, who took off his goggles, was pulled to the wall again and began dribbling tennis training with the help of the wall.

However, just a few days after the second phase started, the time came to May 19th as mentioned at the beginning.

This day is not important at all to others, but to Yang, it is very important.

Because today is the day of the 2015 draft lottery, after today there will be a determined answer to which team you will go to.

…………

…………

When Yang got home, he opened his laptop at the right time and did not miss any key parts.

"The 14th pick: Oklahoma City Thunder." Even with Westbrook's luck, the Thunder could not escape the answer of the 14th pick.

"Thirteenth pick: Phoenix Suns" The second sign held up by league vice president Mark Tatum is the Phoenix Suns, which has only a 01 chance higher than the Thunder.

"Twelfth pick: Utah Jazz." The next thing that came out was the Jazz, who had a 07 chance of winning the No. 1 pick. Their appearance at this position also showed that the miracle did not favor them.

"11th Pick: Indiana Pacers" The Pacers, who had the fourth worst chance, were selected with the 11th pick without any surprise.

"Tenth pick: Miami Heat" When Mark Tatum announced the name of the Miami Heat with the tenth pick, Alonzo Mourning on the side applauded himself fiercely. He was very lucky.

The draft lottery is here to stay.

…………

"Sixth pick: Sacramento Kings." When the sign of the Sacramento Kings was raised by Mark Tatum, everyone was very surprised. The order so far has been based on the record. Is this draw an upset?

There won’t be any?

"Fifth pick: Orlando Magic" When Mark Tatum raised the sign, the esn and tnt cameras unceremoniously gave the Magic general manager a big close-up.

"Fourth pick: New York Knicks." When Mark Tatum held up the New York Knicks sign, the entire lottery venue and commentary box exclaimed in unison:

"I just said that there are no upsets. How about this upset?" Mike

"I don't think it's a surprise to me at all, fourth is their logical position." Reggie Miller's stance on New York,

Ahem, cough, cough, let’s be the next one.

"It's quite big, but it's quite normal. If there are no accidents, the draw will be nothing interesting." Kenny Smith's remarks were impeccable.

"Kenny, you are wrong. How can you say that there are no surprises and there is nothing to watch? Where Yang goes is the biggest highlight today."

"Yes, I made a mistake. Mike, what do you think the Knicks picked the fourth pick?"

"Steve Mills is unlucky and doesn't have enough cards, so he will naturally be ranked fourth."

The broadcast footage soon returned to the lottery venue

"Let us invite Glen Taylor, the representative of the Timberwolves, Noel, the representative of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Byron Scott, the representative of the Los Angeles Lakers." The remaining three team representatives were invited by Mr. Vice President.

The other side.

"The winner of the third pick in the first round of 2015 is..."

“Los Angeles Lakers” The first thing that appears on the big screen is the Los Angeles Lakers icon;

An unexpected but not surprising answer. Ever since their big bet on F4 failed and Kobe Bryant was reimbursed for consecutive seasons, the Lakers have fallen into the sequelae of their big gamble: their results have dropped directly to the bottom of the Western Conference.

If it weren't for the protection clause in the draft picks they gave away, the Los Angeles Lakers wouldn't even have the qualifications to be bad.

"The second pick in the first round of 2015 is..."

"Minnesota Timberwolves" When Matt Tatum raised the Timberwolves sign for the second time, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised, because the Timberwolves have the best chance of selecting the No. 1 pick among the 14 teams. But now they only draw the number one pick.

With the second pick, it is inevitable that people will suspect that the new president is trying to stifle the "bad style".

"The first two teams have been selected, so let us congratulate the Philadelphia 76ers for getting the first pick in the first round of the 2015 draft." Although the answer has been given, the big screen above the heads of the three people still showed the answer.

"Congratulations"

"Congratulations"

When Byron Scott and Glen Taylor congratulated Noel on his luck, Noel realized that he had won the No. 1 pick with a probability of 156. However, he was not happy for long, and then he thought of a new one.

The question is, as a big man again, what should I do about my future?

At the same time, Philadelphia

The moment it was announced that Philadelphia had won the No. 1 pick, Philadelphia's general manager issued instructions to his subordinates.

A few minutes later, Young also received a call from BJ Armstrong:
Chapter completed!
