Chapter 279 Chicago

With the fifth game the Lakers defeated the Warriors who fell behind 1:3 at home, the Warriors really ended their journey of the season!
On the day of May 5th, as the Mavericks lost to the Spurs by a big score, the competition for the Western Conference semifinals was all over!
While the West decided the final team with a score of 4:1, the East fell into a tense and exciting stalemate!

The Raptors, who were not favored this season, started a surprising battle with the 76ers very surprisingly!

In the absence of McGrady, the Raptors relied on a very stable team basketball, which made the 76ers led by Iverson and Mutombo fall into a huge crisis!
And another battle of focus is between the Bucks and the Hornets!

In this series, after the Bucks won two consecutive victories at home, everyone seemed to have seen the Hornets' final exit!

But back to the home court of the Hornets, they used two astonishing performances, making them fall behind two games in one fell swoop, and completed an amazing reversal, making the two teams draw a very surprising 2:2. !
When the Hornets still won a victory at the Bucks' home court in the fifth game, everyone in the league was shocked and hard to add!
"Bruce, this year's Eastern Conference is simply an astonishing playoff game!" Wilkens said with a weird expression!
Bruce sat behind the desk, closed some data about the playoffs on the table, and then said with emotion: "Yes, who would have thought that the Raptors would play such an amazing basketball?"

Recalling the previous data, Bruce was really shocked.

Before, because of his existence, Carter did not return to the Raptors like in his previous life, but joined the Warriors very smoothly!
However, when the lacking Carter Raptors would try their best to keep McGrady, McGrady still joined the Magic team as before for some reasons unknown to others!
Although his decision seems very abrupt now, from some interviews, McGrady obviously doesn't feel any regrets!
Without Carter and McGrady, the Raptors can achieve such shocking results under the leadership of a group of second-rate stars, which really surprised everyone!
And the duel between the Bucks and the Hornets is like riding a roller coaster, making people wander between hell and heaven!

"The 76ers and the Bucks this season are extremely strong, whether it is Allen, Dikembe, or Ray (Allen) and Glenn (Robinson), the combination between them is very shocking!" Wilkens Duan Picking up the coffee on the table, he said highly.

"Of course, despite the Hornets having Jamal (Mashburn), Byron (Davis) and Eldon (Campbell), they always feel a little bit up and down!"

Listening to Wilkens' analysis, Bruce agreed very much.

Just like his analysis, although Mashburn and Davis can contribute amazing games every game, under the impact of stars such as Ray Allen and Glenn Robinson, they are obviously stable and stable. Some lack of experience!
"The duel between the Lakers and the Spurs will definitely become an exciting series!" Bruce said in a deep voice.

"That's right, through the series between us and the Lakers, Shaquille and Kobe's performance can be called against the sky, and their combination is simply the most powerful in the NBA!" Wilkens' face flashed a look of helplessness, Said in a slightly low tone.

Bruce looked at him with some surprise. In his opinion, Wilkens showed such an expression, which seemed very surprising to him!

Since joining the Warriors, Bruce has basically never seen such a helpless and slightly depressed expression on Wilkens' face, let alone saying such words to the stars of other teams. Come!
"Hehe, is it unexpected?" Wilkens shrugged: "Shaquille gradually showed his powerful strength, coupled with Kobe's explosive season, this is simply a nightmare for other teams!"

"Nightmare?" Bruce whispered with twinkling eyes: "I hope the relationship between them will not be as regrettable as in the previous life!"

No matter how exciting the NBA playoffs are, there are a large group of guys outside the league struggling to make their final preparations!

chicago.

"Hi, Kwame!" Tyson Chandler looked at the big man not far away with surprise on his face. Every matchup in the high school league before made him admire this guy very much!
"Tyson, I'm so happy to see you!" Kwame Brown walked towards him excitedly, the two embraced, and then walked to the locker room!

On May 5th, NBA players who signed up for the draft this year have come to the rookie training camp in Chicago one after another!

And this training camp will also be the last time before the draft.

This year's candidates really excited the scouts and managers in the league, and what attracted their attention was the existence of a few super talents!
Kwame Brown from Green High School, Tyson Chandler from Dominguez High School, Eddie Curry from Thornwood High School, these talented high school students really impressed all the scouts and managers who watched their games. We are excited and excited!
Strong physique, astonishing performance, coupled with their age with a huge advantage, this is simply what God bestows on several teams that are likely to win the No. [-] pick and even the top three teams dream of!
"Lanny, is it necessary for us to come and watch in person?" Bruce looked at Wilkens with some helplessness. Regarding his invitation, he originally didn't plan to watch the training camp in person, but after his repeated invitations and Xiao Xiao After being persuaded with reason and emotion, I can only come with him in the end!
"Bruce, don't you think that as a team manager, this is your duty?" Wilkens looked at the depressed Bruce with a half-smile, almost laughing out loud!

Before, after the two analyzed the strength of several teams in the playoffs, they discussed the issue of participating in the rookie selection this year!
After they have finished their journey for this season, the draft is the most important thing for them so far!
This year, the Warriors have a first-round pick traded by their predecessor when Bruce was not in the team and a second-round pick acquired through a trade with the Grizzlies.

If you add the first-round and second-round picks you own, the Warriors will have as many as 4 draft picks in this draft that can be used to select rookies!

According to the arrangement of the league, this year's lottery conference will be warmed up at the Madison Garden Arena in New York on May 5!
"If we followed the lottery in the previous life, we would get the fourth lottery, right now?" Bruce followed Wilkens slowly, thinking of the disappointing season of the Warriors in the previous life, he couldn't help but Shaking my head for a while!
While talking, the two slowly walked into the arena, and some of the players had already come to the arena first!
"Oh, God! Tyson, who do you see over there??" Kwame Brown patted Chandler's shoulder in surprise, and pointed in one of the directions with some surprise!
When Chandler saw who was coming, he also had an expression of surprise on his face: "God, it's Bruce and Lenny!!"

"God, I really want to play for Mr. Bruce's team, he is a very generous owner!" Brown said excitedly.

Just as the two were surprised, during this season, Bruce, with his good reputation, made all the rookies participating in the draft want to join the Warriors!

Although some of their top rookies may not necessarily achieve their wishes, who doesn't want to join a team that is as warm as a family?
"Among the rookies this year, there are really some very exciting guys!" Wilkens and Bruce said as they walked, and when the two came to the stands, Wilkens continued: "If we follow our According to my estimation, our first-round pick will basically be ranked between 25-30!”

Hearing Wilkens' words, Bruce subconsciously took out the information in the handbag, turned over a page, looked up at the field, and said in a calm voice: "In this draft, which players do we have? select?"

"Gerald Wallace Sa, Muir Dalembert, Gilbert Arenas, these three players are the most likely to be picked up after some evaluations by me and the team analysts. We have selected, and it is the best player that can be selected!" Wilkens opened the materials he had prepared in his hand, turned his head to look at Bruce and said slowly.

As soon as he heard these names that were well known in his previous life, Bruce subconsciously became a little excited!
Not to mention Dalembert and Gerald Wallace, only "General" Arenas, this is a superstar that these people basically don't know!

Thinking of this, even though he was very excited, Bruce still kept his composure: "What if they are all picked by another team?"

"That depends on our luck!" Wilkens shook his head with a smile, shrugged and said, "Of course, I really hope that they can leave us with at least one!"

"I hope so!" Bruce took out a signature pen with a smile, and put red circles behind the names of the above three people, and then he and Wilkens both looked at the court!

The managers and team coaches who came to this training camp are not just Bruce and Wilkens!

Although some teams only sent their best scouts, they are just the helpless actions of some teams in small markets and teams that basically won't get too high a draft!

Every draft conference, although the emergence of super talents is indispensable, these people who are called geniuses will definitely not fall into the hands of those low-ranking teams, so they have this kind of practice!

　Sorry for the delay because of some things, there will be another chapter later!
