You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 775

The smoke of the playoffs filled the air, and some fans who cared about the team kept a high degree of tension all the time. They paid attention to all the news just like the team's managers.

On the eve of Game 4, a piece of news that excited Pistons fans appeared.

"Dor.Mo and general manager Joe Dumars will travel to Chicago as representatives of the Pistons for the lottery."

The tense playoffs made Pistons fans almost forget that not only did they have to deal with a strong opponent like the 76ers, but they also had the top five picks in the draft at the end of June (high probability).

Thanks to Doug Collins, the Pistons were able to have a top-five lottery pick at the peak of the franchise.

The "Apologize to Doug!" campaign has been raging in Detroit. Since last year, according to Collins, he has received tens of thousands of letters of thanks from Detroit.

In this regard, Collins said: "This is helpless. When I made this deal, I considered the future, but no one understood or foreseen this future."

But any old Pistons fan can see that Collins is talking nonsense. At the beginning, Collins was scolded because he sent away two starting-level players, but only returned a second-round pick and a first-round pick. first-round pick.

With the poor lineup of the Pistons at the time, it was a matter of course that the trade was dissed. No one thought that it would become the wealth of the Pistons.

"The Pistons, which have won two consecutive championships, will add another talented rookie in this year's draft."

ESPN's news is helpless, it's like the peak Lakers in the 80s won James Worthy with the No. [-] pick.

The strong teams just got stronger.

The plane was about to arrive in Chicago, Mo Mengchen was drowsy, he didn't want to come at all.

However, Dumars forced him to Chicago on the grounds that "I participated in the lottery for the first time, and I was a little nervous."

To ask the reason, Dumas also has a legitimate reason.

"I always feel at ease with you by my side."

Seeing Dumas, who is fat and fat, say such words to himself affectionately, it is a manifestation of personal self-cultivation that Mo Mengchen can resist vomiting and agree.

"How are the children at home?"

"all good."

"How is Ephraim?"

"very good."

"Are you ready for tomorrow night's game?"

"Excellent."

There were three thick lines on Dumas' brow: "Can you stop talking?"

Mo Mengchen ignored him, looking down at the city of giant shoulders from the window, they will be there soon, looking down at the world from the sky is the dream of many people.

Actually, it's not that fun, because you have to fly high enough to see everything below, but the higher you fly, the less you can see.

Mo Mengchen is not the case. His eyesight is exceptionally good. Even at such a high altitude, he can see the scenery below clearly. As far as he could see, he stopped on a tall building and suddenly saw a man and a woman leaning against the glass I don't know what the window is doing...

"Seeing this, I knew we had really arrived in Chicago." Mo Mengchen said flatly.

"Which one?"

"Aaron Building, every time I come here, there is always someone on the top floor having an affair."

Dumas looked over in a hurry, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything, otherwise he would have been attracted by the softness of the pair of white flowers.

Dumas, who couldn't see anything, thought that Mo Mengchen was playing with him, and gave him a resentful look.

10 minutes later, the plane landed.

The media who had already received the news were already waiting outside the airport. When the Lord arrived, they surrounded Rick.

The leading female reporter put the microphone in front of Mo Mengchen and quickly asked questions.

Mo Mengchen ignored her, and Dumas worked hard to maintain a good image.

It's like a pig that doesn't know that it is too fat to be slaughtered.

Dumars' connivance with the media will only waste an extra half hour at the airport.

This year's lottery will be held at the Bulls' home court, the United Center.

As a landlord, but also a member of the weak team, the Bulls have been looking for Jordan's successor.

They missed Mo Mengchen in 95 (no invitation at all), and they missed Duncan in 97 (no chance at all). These two guys who are most likely to become Jordan's successors now belong to each other, and they still have to meet in the draft. luck.

Elton Brand, the No. 99 pick in 20, once again played a 10+[-] All-Star season this season.Although his stats are good, he is a stat brush that can't drive his teammates. After two seasons, the Bulls have also seen this clearly.

Bulls fans who are used to Jordan certainly can't understand Brand. Therefore, Brand is actually not in the Bulls' long-term plan.

In order for Brand to play good numbers, the Bulls must play with all their strength. They have achieved 24 wins without hope, the sixth from the bottom in the East, and the eighth from the bottom in the league. This record is enough for them to get the lottery. Ranking depends on luck.

There is no game at the United Center today, and the protagonists are representatives of each team.

Popovich, the representative of the Spurs, marched into the United Center with the last record in the league, and he is bound to win the No. [-] lottery.

The Spurs have a 25% chance of winning the No. [-] lottery, which is what they sacrificed their dignity for.

Followed by the Washington Wizards, this team leads the worst teams in the East with superb skills, ranking second to last in the league. They are led by the former hero of Chicago, the No. 1 Michael Jordan in history.

There are already rumors that Jordan is preparing to come back next season. If he wants to come back, he must give up the shares and control of the Wizards.

Mo Mengchen did not expect that seeing Jordan again would be three years later.

Jordan didn't expect that after only three years, the Bulls fell to this point, and the Pistons rose to this point.

"Breadcrumbs should really learn from you." Jordan watched eagerly. "Records, draft, no delay."

First, you need a trading genius like Doug Collins.

Mo Mengchen smiled slightly. Like Jordan, he just sat at the United Center. As for the lottery, when touching the ball, he handed it over to other members of the management.

Mo Mengchen and Jordan were reminiscing about the old days, and the scene camera also fell on the two of them.

Jordan has an inexplicably powerful aura, and those who are with him will be suppressed. No matter where he goes, he will immediately become the focus of the audience.

But now standing with Mo Mengchen, his omnipotent aura did not suppress him.

"It's an exchange between previous rulers and current rulers."

"What do you think of this year's rookies?" Jordan didn't know the details of Mo Mengchen, so he just asked casually.

Mo Mengchen had other concerns in his heart.

The transformation of the Pistons is imperative. If they want to play Princeton, then there is one of the most suitable insiders in this year's draft -- Pau Gasol.

The inside combination of Gasol and Rashid can probably have the six or seven success of the combination of Weber and Divac, which is enough for the Pistons.

Therefore, Gasol is the first goal of the Pistons.

In the previous life, Gasol was the third pick, but in this life, there is an extra variable of the Spurs.

The best result is that the Wizards win the No. [-] lottery like in the previous life, and then let Jordan happily choose Kwame Brown.

"This is a matter for the management." Mo Mengchen said calmly.

"You don't care about this matter at all?" Jordan didn't believe it. Based on his understanding of Mo Mengchen, even if this guy didn't intervene directly, he would interfere.

Naturally, Mo Mengchen would not pretend to be a noob, and Jordan was not an idiot, "If you care about it, you will be confused. I only care about the playoffs now. When the season is over, I will look at these rookies."

During their conversation, in a completely enclosed room inside, the lottery had already begun.

54, 66, 83, 21.

These four sets of numbers are the serial numbers of the champion lottery.

This is the small ball era of the draft lottery.

There are always 250 small balls, and each ball has a serial number. The Spurs, who are at the bottom of the record, have 250 sets of serial numbers, that is to say, they can draw [-] times.

As long as the number of balls drawn out of these 250 times constitutes the serial number of the No. [-] lottery, they can get the No. [-] lottery. It is worth mentioning that the balls taken out must be put back after recording.

The better the team's record, the lower the odds, and the harder it is to form the No. [-] pick -- so do you know how lucky the teams that have a very low probability of getting the No. [-] pick are?
This lottery rule was not replaced until 2014.

At present, the Spurs have already got three sets of sequences needed for the No. [-] pick.

54, 83, 21.Only 66 is missing.

Finally it was the Spurs' turn again. Popovich stepped forward again, touched the ball like mahjong, picked it up and took a look.

Damn, eleven.

I fucking hate this decency!Popovich cursed secretly.

At the same time, the Eagles and Wizards have also won two sets of No. [-] picks.

After one round, some weak teams with lower records and fewer draws have used up all the qualifications for the lottery. They did not have the serial number to form the number one lottery, so they withdrew from the competition.

Popovich stepped forward again, and the Spurs have the greatest probability. This is an opportunity for them to endure the eyes of the fans and the accusations of the outside world, and it must not be wasted.

He put his hand into the box full of small balls again, fiddled gently, rolled over, reached a position that had never been reached before, and grabbed the small ball that had better never been picked up.

Popovich pulled out the ball that killed the suspense.

66!

The staff of the league confirmed that the result was correct, and spread the news to the outside, and the team representatives who were waiting outside for the draw showed disappointment.

At the same time, the big screen and radio in the United Center simultaneously broadcast the news.

"The San Antonio Spurs selected the No. 2001 pick in the first round of the 1 draft."

"Damn it!" Jordan cursed angrily, because he felt that Kwame Brown was moving away from him.

This is the first year of his management career, and he didn't expect it to be so unsatisfactory.

Mo Mengchen sat quietly, no one knew what he was thinking.
