New York, 20th floor, Four Seasons Hotel, 9 a.m.

"Enter"

As the door of the room opened from the outside in, a man in a suit who had not appeared in a long time appeared.

"Good morning, Benjamin." The man with his legs curled up on the bed was working hard to cut the steak with his left hand.

"Didn't you go to Madison to draw lots tonight? Come to me now???" The sudden sound of the TV attracted Benjamin Armstrong's attention.

Last night, the eye-catching second game of the Eastern Conference Finals began at the Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia 76ers;

Both sides still haven’t changed the high-scoring situation in the first game.

122 to 121, the Cavaliers finally had a 1-point advantage, turning the series' total score into a 1-1 draw.

"At the beginning of the first quarter, facing the Cavaliers' pressure on the ball, flanking the ball holder and stealing the ball from the weak side, the 76ers no longer limited themselves to Brogdon. Siakam's ball-holding time was significantly ahead, and instead he thrust more points.

The plus redistribution model allowed Siakam to complete 5 assists in 11 minutes in the first quarter."

"The turning point in the first episode was when Embiid committed two fouls, losing the bridge of internal and external communication and the best frame protector, which allowed the 76ers to go from the lead."

"Although the offense was adjusted in time to start from the waist position, without Covington and Embiid, even if the 76ers were willing to protect the frame, they would not be able to make up for the lack of resources to protect the frame."

"Although VanVleet and James Johnson set off a counterattack in the second quarter to reduce the Cavaliers' lead, Irving's takeover and J.R. Smith's explosion made their efforts in vain, and the game ended in a draw in the second quarter."

"Chasing and super long-distance three-pointers +2, semi-fast break and super long-distance three-pointers +2, receiving rebound throws, catching the ball and quickly retreating for three-pointers..."

5 three-pointers in a single quarter and 17 points are certainly wonderful.

but

"Foul No. 21, fifth foul." The referee couldn't help but kept staring at Embiid and calling the foul.

Only 6 points of the 7-point pursuit mission were completed.

Let the last section

It becomes extremely difficult to change defense + reduce key points of defense VS to change defense + delay.

In the last 2 minutes and 47 seconds, Embiid took himself off the court with his second and third technical fouls.

The basket missed after hitting it

With last year’s 46-point ceiling not broken

The 76ers' first playoff loss was inevitable.

"What's going on with the professional managers???" The thoughts that drifted away along with the TV were recovered at this moment.

"This is the information I'm looking for. There are four people in total..."

…………

…………

"It's 17:30. I can't decide the next time. If necessary, we can communicate next time." When the time reached 17:30, the third face-to-face communication came to an end.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Yang shook his head, stood up from the stool and walked towards Keen, who had been waiting for a long time.

"They will pick me up and take me to Madison later. You don't have to go and have some fun. I'll call you when it's about to end." The draft lottery takes a long time, so there is no need for Keane to wait there.

"Yang..." The team came to pick up their man.

Madison Square Garden

"Long time no see, Devin Booker." A year has passed since college, and the fight Devin Booker caused is no longer so hateful.

By the way, I haven’t contacted Cook for a long time.

"Long time no see, wish you good luck." Devin Booker's perfunctory response was also expected.

"Young man, you played very well yesterday. Even I only had one 40+ triple-double." After taking two steps, Yang met the Lakers' lottery representative, Magic Johnson.

"You narrowly won, but I unfortunately lost. I'm still a lot behind, and I need to play better." The Magician's 40+ triple-double was a narrow win. There is no need to be so proud that he failed.

{Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia 76ers, here.}

After finding his seat, Yang, who had nothing to do, began to spin the pen in his suit pocket.

Although I am qualified to be here, the trajectory of my destiny is not written by myself. It depends on the answers drawn by the two opposite families.:

I am talking about you:

Los Angeles Lakers and Sacramento Kings

"The live broadcast has started." The pen moving up and down attracted the attention of the staff.

"Lie!" As the voice sounded, the pen flying up and down met the fate of being thrown directly into the pocket.

No. 14: Atlanta Hawks

Without any surprise, Vice President Mark Tatum held up the sign of the team with the best record that did not make the playoffs.

No. 13 pick: Denver Nuggets

Again, this is no surprise.

No. 12: Miami Heat

No. 11: Detroit Pistons

With a 90.7% chance of winning the No. 11 pick, the Detroit Pistons won their own No. 11 pick.

"The first-round 1-10 protection given to the Chicago Bulls by the Sacramento Kings has taken effect, and the Philadelphia 76ers have changed from not necessarily taking effect to taking effect in exchange rights."

No. 10: Charlotte Hornets

No. 9 pick: Dallas Mavericks

No. 8: Sacramento Kings

The second point in the draft notes appears

72.5% of the New Orleans Pelicans who won the No. 8 pick did not successfully protect this pick like the Kings (1-3 pick protection).

Of course, if the king's protection is successful and then the exchange rights are given, there is another story.

No. 7:

The Kings, who have the sixth-worst record, fall in the seventh pick 33% of the time, leaving the Philadelphia 76ers conference room with no extra sound other than the sound of playback.

Minnesota Timberwolves

"ah……"

"ah……"

With the Minnesota Timberwolves, which has the seventh-worst record, taking the No. 7 pick, the order has reached the sixth-worst record, which is one of the biggest focuses of Philadelphia today:

sacramento kings

"New York Knicks, New York Knicks, New York Knicks"

"New York Knicks, New York Knicks, New York Knicks"

The assistant general manager and executive director gathered in the team's conference room all wanted to move the New York Knicks, who had the fifth-worst record, to the sixth position.

Perhaps because he knew that the suspense was very eye-catching, the vice president's actions were not as crisp as before.

No. 6:

New York

Knicks

"The Philadelphia 76ers entered the top three." With the Knicks appearing at sixth, the 76ers who used the Kings' pick exchange rights entered the top three.

The 35.9% probability is indeed the highest, but the 29.2% probability of his team's top three is still really just a decoration...

{It has been worse than expected every year, almost 30 years ago} When the broadcast camera cut to him, Knicks legend Walter Frazier could only use a wry smile to relieve his discomfort.

"YES"

Unlike the executive director and assistant general manager in the team's conference room, Young didn't show any special expression about his team entering the top three.

I have to say that the Kings' head coach Joerger is really big-hearted. When the team lost the first three picks, he still had the same expression as usual.

No. 4 pick: Phoenix Suns

The Orlando Magic appeared after the 5th overall pick.

The Phoenix Suns, who won the No. 1 pick with 19.9%, made their second upset today. They appeared with the fourth pick.

{The draft pick has been improved, which means that two draft picks have gone away} Young did not have high expectations for the two lottery picks.

Los Angeles Lakers: Magic Johnson

Philadelphia 76ers:Young

Boston Celtics: Grosbeck
