Chapter 33 The Fifth Show

On June 30, 1999, the NBA draft was held at the MCI Center at the Washington Wizards' home court. Zhang Tian was invited to the Green House. His current mock draft market was frozen in the lottery area, especially the disc that beat James Posey, the Atlantic Tenth League defensive player, added a lot of weight to the U19 MVP.

Among the swaying men of the same class, Zhang Tian’s talent can rank among the top five. If age factors are taken into account, he can rank among the top three or even the top two. Therefore, it is understandable that the draft market continues to rise.

In addition to the two agents, Ricci Paul and Xia Song, parents who were far away in China also came to the draft.

"Son, can you really be selected? Following my father's advice, it's better to go home to go to school. If you can't get into a key university, you can go to the army. You can't control it."

Zhang Jianye felt very uncomfortable. When he was young, he was even more rebellious than his son, but he still obediently and gave up his ideals.

Zhao Shiyu poked her husband's shoulder, "What are you saying stupid things? My son is a sports star now. Does his son have enough money to spend? Isn't it enough for his mother to do it?"

The Zhang family is a typical strict father and kind mother. When Zhang Jianye beat Zhang Tian when he was young, Zhao Shiyu would not stop him. She would wait until Zhang Tian was beaten before coaxing him. Zhang Tian was used to the blushing and white-faced pattern.

"After enough, don't worry, mom, I won't be defeated."

Zhang Tian has sufficient confidence in his strength (plug-in). As long as those managers are not stupid and swear, they know how to choose, except for Elgin Baylor's Eight Asian King. The other party publicly stated that he would not choose his team, no doubt about it.

The draft began soon, and Zhang Tian met many acquaintances in the small green house. James Posey looked at Zhang Tian and wanted to tear him down. Although he was invited into the small green house, the former always felt that it was not safe.

"Zhang, you have received draft promises from several teams."

"Zhang, I don't know if we will be teammates in the future."

……………………

Odom and Trajan Langton, two chatterboxes, chattering around Zhang Tian, ​​while Stern on the stage was also beating.

Finally, about ten minutes later, the NBA draft officially kicked off, and the secret battles between the teams below the stage officially began, especially the teams who like Zhang Tian.

"The team that won the No. 1 pick is the Chicago Bulls, and they chose Elton Brand, an inside player from Duke University."

As expected, this short and strong inside player won the No. 1 pick. Brand won all major awards in this year's NCAA league and was also selected as the All-Star in the future. He deserves the No. 1 pick. It depends on how the Bulls operate. If you don't mess around like you did in your previous life, the Bulls should be able to rise after two or three years.

Brand was selected by the Bulls, and the teams who liked this inside were all wailing. The next second draw was from the Vancouver Grizzlies. This Canadian team has won the second draw for two consecutive seasons. Last year they chose the White Devil Bibi, but I don’t know who they will choose this year.

"The team that won the second draw was the Vancouver Grizzlies, and they chose... from UCLa's defender Byron Davis."

Nani Zhang Tian almost fell down while sitting on the chair in the green house. History has completely changed because of himself. The Grizzlies chose Frances in their previous life, but the latter refused to report. The Grizzlies had no choice but to trade three parties to exchange for a group of crab soldiers and generals. They missed the opportunity to rise and then moved to Memphis, and Vancouver became a past tense.

Francis was in a very unhappy mood. He thought he would be the No. 1 pick before the draft, but reality slapped him hard. The Bulls chose the big Duke silly guy, f.u.c.k, damn it, you will definitely regret it.

Byron Davis didn't have any emotions. He said a lot on the draft stage before he went on. The former is not opposed to the Grizzlies, an overseas team, because this team is bad enough, and it can only allow him to brush his data without any scruples.

The third pick Hornets chose Francis as if they had picked up a big gift bag. The Tseng Show wore a hat and didn't shake hands with Stern, and then came to the draft stage. "I want to say sorry to Charlotte, the pick. I want to play in a big city team, so you should trade me, I won't report to the Hornets."

Francis made the same choice as in historical space. He rejected the Grizzlies in his previous life because Vancouver is too far from his Maryland, and in this time and space, he thinks that the city of Charlotte is too small. Of course, the most fundamental reason is Bob Buss, the general manager of the Hornets. If an old-school head coach like Larry Brown is the one who dislikes rookies the most, then he is the general manager who dislikes rookies the most. Francis's agent is David Falke, so he cannot let his employer jump into the fire pit.

The next fourth pick is the Clippers. Baylor chose the left-hand magician Odom like in the historical space. This is a reliable choice, but this kind of draft has been operated by Baylorlor for decades, and it does not exceed one hand.

The fifth pick is the Toronto Raptors. David Stern opened the envelope and saw the Raptors' choice was a bit surprised. "The Toronto Raptors won the fifth pick in the first round. They chose - a high school rookie from China, Zhang... Tian. "Si's pronunciation is still as suburban as ever.

In the audience, Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother were both extremely excited. Of course, the former was more confused. “This little bastard is really attracted to by NBA.”

Ritchie Paul said before Zhang Tian came to the stage, "Don't thank the Raptors, you were traded to the cornfield."

Walker? Zhang Tian understood. He put on his hat. The color was yellow, not Zhang Tian’s favorite blue and black. He came to Stern and shook hands with the other party. The old Jewish man still hugged Zhang Tian with unsatisfactory.

“As the first Chinese basketball player to be on the draft, I feel very lucky…”

Zhang Tianyang talked on the stage for most of the day. If Stern hadn't called off, this guy could have continued to talk.

Except for Zhang Tian's draft, which is surprising, there are no unpopularity in other drafts.

As soon as Zhang Tian got off the talent show, he was blocked by a strong woman.

This person is Sheryl Miller, who has dealt with before. "Zhang, congratulations on becoming a member of the Pacers. Do you have anything to say?"

This woman was from the CIA, how did she receive the message that she was traded to the Pacers?

"It feels like everything is dreaming, but I believe the future is bright." The Pacers exchanged Hoyberg and Jalen Ross for this draft pick for the Raptors. Ross was sent away. Does that mean that if he enters the finals in the new season, Kobe will not be allowed to step down.
