Chapter 189 The eve of the storm in the long grass period arrives~)

Okay, the championship is out, and the fans have entered a long period of grass, but the league office has just begun to enter the busy time.

It's nothing, just a small meeting to discuss how to do some "macro operations" in this year's draft.

This is also something Stern often does after he came to power.

Yes, this is my David Stern version of "Fair, Just and Open".

Originally, 1997 was not a golden draft year, but because of the hot man, there was no way, most of the teams in the league were playing badly, so it would be impossible for him to do it well.

David Stern’s idea is to create stars and create God, but balance is also done.

This is also the reason why Paul was stopped when he went to the Lakers.

He doesn't want to create a super team with n Hall of Fame. At least he can't form it directly. If he can play, he doesn't care.

So the Celtics is impossible first of all. I didn’t see that Vice President Las Granick is very sensible and didn’t even bring up the Celtics’ team logo to discuss it?

This is called "professional".

"Tell me, what about your opinion, Russ Granick?" David Stern was pretending to be democratic, but in fact, his iron-fisted political nature had already had an answer.

Russ Granick also knew that there might be an answer, but since I asked, I should answer it carefully: "I don't think the teams in big cities need them anymore, and teams that do not have the strength to compete with the strong teams at all don't need to consider them."

David Stern nodded repeatedly, and it won my heart.

"What about you, Adam, speak your opinion." Stern asked, looking at another man with glasses.

"I don't know, everything is subject to the will of the president." This guy can speak. Although he was from a higher education institution, he has no arrogance at all. And even though he is like this, his work efficiency is better than Las Granik.

"Well, my opinion is, what is the way to improve Russ Granick's opinion and make the league more attractive? Putting Duncan into a bad team is a waste. We must put him into a team that can quickly improve his strength so that this team can become a strong team in the league in a short time to compete with the existing strong team pattern." After Stern said that, the few people below nodded, not only for compliments, but also for such considerations that are most conducive to the development of the league and the development of the ratings.

It is completely fair and just. I saw everything I had before, but it was half dead and it was not possible at all.

We still have to go through the channels of commercial alliances.

Since it is a business alliance, then...

Everything can be "commercialized".

However, the Celtics are not vegetarians. Auerbach is very conceited. He feels that he has gotten a first round from the Mavericks, which is a real double insurance, at least it is much more likely than other teams. However, he didn't expect that he is more shameless than shameless, of course the "bookmaker".

If you play with the "banker" and others do some "blind-box operations", even if you have three insurances, it will be useless.

There are also several team logos on the table.

The Grizzlies? No, it's too far to give Duncan to Canada, and joining a Duncan can't quickly match them with the current league power team.

So, pass.

Nuggets? No, there is no face of a strong team at all. In a word, pass.

Mavericks? The draft picks were given to the Celtics, take them away.

The Warriors are pretty good, but their winnings are too high, with more than 30 wins, so it's too obvious if you give them, pass.

The teams left by the West are the Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs as double candidates.

The Eastern Conference teams are either too bad or can't see the future at all, or they are ruled out by Stern early, so there is only a team like the Philadelphia 76ers left.

Now there are three candidates for the 76ers, Clippers and Spurs.

After thinking for a long time, Stern decided to sign the No. 1 pick to-

San Antonio.

In addition to the Spurs winning Duncan, who can quickly become the top team in the league, there are also the 76ers and the Clippers, which are difficult for Duncan to be the big brother.

He mainly wants all these geniuses to be the boss so that he can have a future.

This decision surprised Russ Granick. He thought Stern would sign the No. 7 to the Clippers who were optimistic all season.

As a result, Stern did not do this, which made Russ Granick feel more and more confused about Stern.

After the meeting ended, Ras Granick asked Adam Silva, the president's special assistant, who answered his doubts:

"It is because Mr. Stern values ​​Zheng very much that he does this. He will not let Zheng, a huge overseas chip, play the second in command. If Zheng doesn't play the second in command, will Duncan let Duncan play the second in command? American fans will not agree. So you know, Mr. Granick." After saying that, he also left, which made Las Granick suddenly feel that the glasses who had been following Stern a few years ago seemed to have ignored it.

Something is good.

But he didn't expect that behind this, Glasses was his biggest enemy, and even drove him out of the NBA president's office early.

But in this life, nothing is hard to say, right?

As for the picks at the back, they are all drawn. You don’t really think that in a huge business alliance, all the signs are decided, right? That’s too low, only if Stern’s brain is broken will happen.

Just do the operation of the No. 1 pick, and the rest should be followed normally according to the rules.

Then there was the work in the early stage of the draft. At this time, Zheng Tie did something he had prepared in advance.

I made a phone call and asked the domestic teenager to come to this year's NBA talent show.

While the popularity of the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 is still there and still familiar faces, come quickly and don’t delay.

Zheng Tie is now a domestic celebrity, and he is very cooperative with domestic work, so what's the use of disagreeing with Bayi? The leaders of Blue Shoes like Zheng Tie, that's fine.

In front of the leader, what's the matter?

Wang Zhizhi, who received a call from the team's senior management, was told that you could attend this year's NBA draft before he could figure out what was going on.

That, didn’t I say I couldn’t go there recently? This question was asked before, and the answer I got was no.

Why did it change all of a sudden?

Not long after, he received the news that Zheng Tie, who had made a name on the opposite side, called Lansai himself and proposed a condition to let him participate and fight side by side with him.

As for the leader, you listen to good things and show your political achievements. You will roughly go to the future and you can form a Gemini star, sweep Asia and challenge Europe, and there is no problem at all. This time, I heard it, let me tell Bayi that the country has the greatest honor, so let your team's honor be backwards.

So, it basically solved the problem that had not been solved in the previous life.

I am less than 20 years old and have embarked on the journey of NBA in a confused manner. Is this time different from the previous life?

Well, what do you know, it will definitely be different anyway.

This chain reaction undoubtedly made more young people in China begin to show stronger expectations for the future.

...

The NBA team draws lots, and ends with some happy and sad companies.

The Spurs got their wish and won the No. 1 pick in the 1997 draft.

It can be seen that Auerbach almost burst into anger. He didn't even get the double insurance, which was a waste of his life.

There is a very interesting thing about this place, that is, Auerbach quickly contacted Popovich and contacted him for a preliminary check to see if he could give up the No. 1 pick. Is the price? Everything is easy to negotiate.

This place is interesting. Philadelphia did not catch the original second draw. Instead, the second draw was taken by the head coach of the Clippers, Bill Fitch. This made Zheng Tie look at David Sent more, thinking that this was too much of a care for himself, too much for the Celtics and Philadelphia.

Old man, you are very good at doing things.

but……

Stern was really wronged. He would do anything besides the No. 1 pick, but he really didn't know the rest.

Now that I was gone, everyone in the world thought he was Zheng Tie's "faithful David Stern".

Domestic media also exaggerated this incident, which made David Stern more popular in China suddenly, saying that the others were like "this old man is good".

The Celtics won the third pick, which is the Tanhua Signature.

Philadelphia became the biggest loser this year, but the top three were not won. It was really miserable.

Zheng Tie actually had the idea of ​​choosing McGrady for the team, but his other plan would be disrupted. Zheng Tie did not plan to continue to live next season. Choosing McGrady, that is, the combat power and the overall supplement to the team are not the best choice.

Of course, you can also understand that A Tie wants to defeat McGrady on the court, rather than asking him to be his own Pippen.

The key is that McGrady's aura is impossible to stay under others all the time. If his wings are hard, he will run away. He can't even tie his own relatives, let alone an outsider.

So just settle for the second best and don’t interfere, because let it go, the team can definitely choose the man who created gimmicks during Auerbach during this period, and then trade immediately to get what he wants, so that the team can quickly complete the overall strengthening.

However, before this, Zheng Tie would first receive his classmates who came to the United States.

Wang Zhizhi must be a second round, and no one must want this now, so the Clippers' second round pick is enough.

It would be nice to let him get to know the environment in advance.

The key is roughly as long as you don’t gain weight, maintain your athletic ability, and not weaken your movements due to injuries. His super-era projection is the least common thing in this era. The number 5 projection ability is something that is not needed in this era, but it is what the Clippers need.

Not only five small players, but five-shotsman lineup brings a big man, this is also a very popular way of playing in the future. At least there is still height and basic basket protection. In the substitute lineup, it can be supplemented as anti-aircraft guns at any time, and the price is cheap, which means you get another way of playing from the team for free. It's really fragrant, really fragrant.

He was still a little nervous at the beginning of the past few days, but when he got familiar with it later, he felt that Xiao Na and the man with a muscle explosion liked him very much. It was hard to say how much of Zheng Tie's face was seen here. Anyway, everything was fine now that A Tie is guarding him.

Then a group of people waited for the talent show to start, and at the same time, the "agents" that Zheng Tie spent money to deal with were about to start taking action immediately.

The main reason is that he has money now, and he will have more money in the future. He spends a little more money, so much more that he is willing to do this.

In the United States, the US is a universal meaning in a sense.

But now, no one dares to think that an 18-year-old young man dares to completely make the entire team.
