May 31, 6:30 pm, Philadelphia

Underground parking lot not far from Wells Fargo Center

As soon as Aileen, who had parked his car, saw the strong enthusiasm of Philadelphia fans for the finals:

Neat jerseys, endless crowds, and already full of Wells Fargo Center waiting square

If you look closely in the crowd, there are still some people who bring their families to watch this game.

｛I hope he can win the championship this year and receive FMVP｝ Anyone will have a clear preference for his favorite players.

…………

…………

At 7 pm, ESPN turned on the signal to broadcast the game

Instead of starting a review of their previous promotions, they took everyone to the same time 4 days ago.

Madison Garden Plaza, New York, May 27

After 15-16, 16-17, Yang, in the third grade, once again represented 76 people in the draft lottery:

Originally, Yang didn't want to come this time, after all, the scene has long since disappeared from its first freshness every year.

But Travis Schlenk used a phone call to dispel his emotions that he didn't want to draw lots in Madison Square.

"Sorry, I've disturbed you to rest"

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"We haven't decided who to go for the lottery draw in New York this time. Let me ask you if you want to go. Our two lottery draws this year need someone with great luck to go to the lottery,"

Los Angeles Lakers (unprotected, eighth-last record)

Phoenix Suns (No. 1 pick, last record)

In addition to this, the team also has a first-round pick close to the edge of the lottery zone.

"Yes, I'll go to New York." I can't do it myself with my injury, so it's still okay to draw a lottery that I don't really want to go.

Retract your thoughts and return to the scene

This time, unlike the previous two years, you don’t have to watch the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Lakers’ representatives go to draw lots, but press the lottery choice by yourself

Of course, it is not up to you to decide whether to draw the top three or not.

"Walter"

"???" After taking a look at the name brand of New York, Walter Fraser.

Only then did Young confirm that Clippers general manager Jerry West was calling him.

"Mark will be on the court for a while, let's talk a few more words?" Vice President Mark Tatum will be able to reach the position he appears in every draft draw.

"Don't worry, I won't talk about recruitment. I don't have the money to punish the league." Jerry West waved his hand and said intently with a look of defense.

"I just remind you that I'm afraid you'll be in your bones. After his trading news came out, your boss contacted Travis as quickly as possible. I don't need to say more about it next?"

No words, turn around and leave

Jerry West said that he was thinking for his own sake, but his words were all amplifying the influence of the 76ers' management's desire to trade Leonard.

Try to become a crack that drives your departure

Or

Become a chip to start trimming

Although I don’t have the idea of ​​playing a full career in Philadelphia, it is still unnecessary to leave the team now.

Sit in your own position

The NBA official did not put himself together with Josh Jackson of the Suns in accordance with the principle of protection, but prepared a separate area for himself.

"Denver Nuggets." Mark Tatum was the first to tear out the Denver Nuggets brand.

Murray, who came to represent the lottery, was not surprised at all

After all, the Nuggets' record is the best among the 14 teams drawn by Madison Garden Plaza, and they are only behind the eighth victory advantage in the West.

"Thirteenth pick: Los Angeles Clippers."

As the team with the tenth highest record in the Western Conference and the second best record in the Lotto area, the 0.6% chance of No. 1 pick does not put the Los Angeles Clippers in the top four.

Give Jerry West

Broadcaster ESPN seizes the opportunity to capture

Some emotions

Unfortunately, Jerry West, who has been in charge for many years, is no different from usual

The same expression, the same look, the same firmness

"Twelfth pick: Los Angeles Clippers."

The Los Angeles Clippers' second lottery draw of the year was obtained from the trade

Less than a year after Paul left

And the first round of picks in 2018 (protected from 18 to 2020, no protection in 2021)

"The eleventh pick~~~"

"Charlotte Hornets"

When Mark Tatum gathered the Charlotte Hornets sign, Kupchek, the general manager who drew for the team, was not surprised at all when he drew for the lottery.

After all, the probability of the team appearing in the 11th pick is as high as 90.7%, excluding the 6.4% probability of the result being produced, the probability of his team being in the top three is only 2.9%.

90.7 and 2.9

The team he led was not favored by the league.

Therefore, it is normal to appear in the 11th position.

The fifth-ranked team in the Lotto area, New York Knicks

ESPN gives the broadcast footage to Scott Perry, who is also general manager

No desire,

Because the Knicks won too many games that shouldn't have won in the second half of the season, their record surpassed the Nets and the Lakers and became a strong contender for the No. 10 draw.

"10th pick: New York Knicks"

Without any surprises, the New York Knicks are the owner of the No. 10 pick in the 2018 Draft.

"Ninth pick: Cleveland Cavaliers"

The unprotected Brooklyn Nets first round pick obtained from the Irving trade has the final result at this moment

Although this sign was kept in the trade reinforcement, LeBron James' departure became an established fact

only

From the original considered strong contender for the No. 1 pick to the ninth pick

The Knight's ranking is down or

Nets' record improves

Has to Atkinson

Under his command, the Nets have one step a year

Relying on general manager Max to exchange space for young people's picks, the team's performance has been brought from the last to the ninth to the last.

This year is also the last year for them to repay their former general manager Billy Gold Debt.

Starting next year, they have draft picks

“Eighth ranking:…………”

"Chicago Bulls"

Mark Tatum tear the answer to the eighth pick and report the moment of Chicago Bulls

It's like a rock thrown down by a calm lake

Blasted
