After the fourth game between the two sides, the Timberwolves team also returned to Minneapolis and began a new round of preparations.

But on the day after the game, the NBA has another big event to take place.

The 2014 lottery draw ceremony originally scheduled for the end of May will be held today. Chen Dazhuang also watched the whole process through live TV. After all, he has a lottery that was the number one pick in his previous life.

On June 15th, at the ABC Times Square studio in New York, the lottery draw for the 2014 draft lottery officially began. In fact, this thing is more like a lottery than a draw. It has nothing to do with the draw, but it has something to do with it.

The lottery draws are similar.

A total of small balls with numbers from 1 to 14 are placed in a sealed container, and then four small balls are released each time. In this way, if the order of the numbers is not considered, there will be 1001 combinations, and then there are 11 to 14.

The combination of 14 is an invalid combination. If it is drawn, it needs to be drawn again. In this case, there are 1000 combinations.

All 14 teams that did not participate in the playoffs determine the number of combinations they have based on their regular season results. The worst record has 250 combinations, and the best only has 5.

Then the first one is drawn, which is the No. 1 pick. Whichever team the number combination comes from will win the No. 1 pick. However, all other number combinations in the hands of the team that won the No. 1 pick will be invalid.

By analogy, the top three picks will be determined, and from fourth to fourteenth, the remaining eleven teams will receive the picks in order based on their records.

Look at the record of these fourteen teams this season and the proportion of the number of combinations in their hands.

The Bucks, who rank last in the league, have a 25% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, the Philadelphia 76ers have a 19.9% ​​chance, the Cavaliers, who are most concerned about the league, have a 15.6% chance, and the Mavericks, who have the best record, only have a 0.5% chance.

So in this process, the so-called lucky draw guest is actually a real guest.

Soon the lottery, no, the drawing of lots will begin.

After the first set of numbers came out, Chen Dazhuang stood up immediately.

Damn it, Xiao Hua, you are such a bastard. Sure enough, there is a shady secret. When he saw the representative of the 76ers standing up excitedly, Da Zhuang also knew that the No. 1 pick that he was originally complacent about was gone.

Damn it, Da Zhuang felt like he had lost hundreds of millions in an instant, the top pick of labor and management! Da Zhuang wailed in his heart.

"How's it going? How's it going?" At this moment, Smith and others also ran in and asked.

"No more, it was taken away by Philadelphia."

"It's okay, it's okay, second and third are not bad either." Ogmon said comfortingly.

Damn it, this bastard has a crow's mouth, and the next two and three are not from the knight.

"There must be some shady story behind this. That piece of shit Xiao Hua, this guy must still be taking revenge on us. Labor and management are going to expose him. Damn you son of a bitch." Chen Dazhuang saw the No. 1 pick that should have belonged to him fly away.

, and then he didn't even get the second or third place, and he suddenly became furious.

"Okay, Chen, I picked it up for free. I think the first league will definitely not give it to us. Otherwise, the Cavaliers would hang themselves in front of the team. It would be good to have a fourth place. Besides, take it.

The first one may not necessarily choose the best one." Beno said on the side.

And this sentence immediately calmed down Da Zhuang, right! I was so angry that I forgot. Now the picks are all wrong. What will happen in the next draft? What will happen next?

Is it the same as in the previous life?

In the previous life, the Cavaliers got the No. 1 pick and selected Wiggins, the Bucks selected Jabari Parker second, the 76ers selected Embiid third, the Magic fourth selected Aaron Gordon, and the Jazz selected a guard fifth.

, I don’t remember Da Zhuang’s name. In his previous life, the Timberwolves selected LaVine with the 13th pick.

Da Zhuang remembers it very clearly, because the 2014 draft was a big draft year, and because there were two dunkers in this draft, LaVine and Gordon's performance in the dunk contest, Da Zhuang still remembers that he checked it afterward.

I have passed the draft information of these two people, so I remember it very clearly.

But it’s different now. Will the 76ers choose Embiid after they get the No. 1 pick? This guy won’t appear on the court for three years. The Bucks are still second, and third.

If they choose magic, what will they choose?

That’s interesting! No, I have to recall some details of this draft.

After the lottery picks were confirmed, many media began to report on it. Among them, the Cleveland Cavaliers were once again included in the articles by many media. Of course, most of them regarded the Cavaliers' transaction as a joke.

It can be said that during the entire trading period from 2013 to 2014, the Cavaliers were the most severely poisoned by the Timberwolves.

The No. 1 pick in last year's draft was selected for the Timberwolves. Today's No. 4 pick plus a second-round pick were given to the Timberwolves in exchange for Love and Antetokounmpo. If James can't go back in the summer, then the Cavaliers

I don’t know how bad it will be. Love is okay, and he has achieved results after going to the Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo has been in trouble since he went to the Cavaliers, and he was transformed into a blue-collar small forward by Mike Brown.

When Smith and others saw Chen Dazhuang lost in thought, they looked at each other and then retreated.

On Da Zhuang's side, his brain started thinking at high speed. The Timberwolves have reached this stage now, and some things for next season will be put on the agenda after the finals.

What the hell, the more I think about it, the more I feel that this No. 4 pick is a bit useless. It’s a pity to throw it away. If Da Zhuang really rearranges the draft of the previous 14 years, Embiid must be the No. 1 pick, but this

After the guy was selected, he was reimbursed for two consecutive seasons, which made people scratch their heads. Another thing is whether Embiid can be obtained with the fourth pick.

Then if we rearrange to second place, it will be a piece of pork belly to ask the teacher, but if you ask the teacher, you can win it as long as you have a second-round pick. Using the fourth pick to sign is not a cannon to kill mosquitoes, and it will not be done well by then.

I have to be laughed at by those people again.

After thinking about it, Da Zhuang still thinks that LaVine can do it, because LaVine can play the one position, but is it a waste for me to use the fourth pick to sign LaVine? Oh, it's a bit of a headache, this bitch

Xiao Hua, why the hell did you give me the No. 4 pick? It’s a bit uncomfortable if I can’t get up or down.

In addition, it is okay to have Dinwiddie in the second round. In fact, in Da Zhuang's heart, he still hopes to sign some 3D or blue-collar players. In this case, it will be very consistent with the tactical needs of the Timberwolves team. You have to get one

If the one with the ball comes over, then distributing the ball is a troublesome matter.
