You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 805 A Difficult Choice——When the 2001 Draft is in progress! ([-] rewards plus more)
If the 2000 draft was the only failed draft in history, then the 2001 draft was the most exciting draft in history.

With the No. [-] pick, you might draft Kwame Brown like Jordan did.

It may also pick up Tony Parker like the Spurs.

Even, you only need a second-round pick to win a monster like Gilbert Arenas.

Unfortunately, no matter Parker or Arenas, these two famous low-ranking legends are not among the goals of the Pistons.

Although their peak height can compete for the top player in the 2001 class, it is a pity that they are all players who need to hold the ball to grow wildly. The Pistons did not provide them with soil for upgrading.

Mo Mengchen turned on the TV, and sitting beside him was Henry Hussman, a well-known media person and his mouthpiece.

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Hussmann was referring to the leak.

Three days ago, the Pistons suddenly leaked news that they Kwame Brown was very satisfied.

There was even a piece of news that said convincingly: "Dor.Mo hopes that the team will trade the No. [-] pick to help the team get Kwame Brown."

"Dor.Mo thinks Kwame is the most promising player in this draft."

"The Pistons are determined to win Kwame!"

"Kwame blew up all the players in training camp!"

"He personally promised Joe Dumas that he would replace Dor.Mo as the new king of Detroit. This son will become a great weapon!"

All kinds of news refreshed the news network, and the news that the Pistons liked Kwame Brown suddenly became known to everyone.

Then, two days ago, another news broke: the Spurs demanded sky-high bargaining chips, and the Pistons could not get the No. [-] pick through a trade.

Then came the news that the Pistons wanted to trade the second pick.

The Pistons suddenly swiped the screen, full of presence. Therefore, Hussman was very worried that the Pistons' favorite person would be cut off.

Mo Mengchen smiled lightly: "You just need to tell me, did the Magic try out Kwame twice in a row before the start of the draft?"

"Yes, my source is correct." Hussman nodded.

"Then it's fine." Mo Mengchen didn't tell the truth, "It's ours, and it will be ours after all."

I will let you win love with a knife!

Dor.Mo stared hard at the TV, and the commentator at the draft conference was introducing the hot rookies.

NBC TV is responsible for explaining the conference. The main commentators are Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, who just jumped over from ESPN, and Charles Barkley, who just announced his retirement and immediately re-employment.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the scene.

The Mr. President with a murderous smile came to the front of the stage, and a sound was played on the spot to cooperate with Mr. President.

"The 2001 NBA draft!" Mr. President's voice was as sissy as ever, "The San Antonio Spurs selected with the first pick. Pau Gasol, from Barcelona, ​​Spain!"

Gasol stood up with a delicate face and a smile on his face. He has not yet been influenced by the years, and he is completely worthy of a beautiful sentence-he probably doesn't know that a group of fat women in the Holy City are waiting to sweep the couch, otherwise he would never smile. come out.

Mo Mengchen originally expected the Spurs to be deceived and chose Gasol, but now it seems that it is a dead end.

"This is the first foreign champion in NBA history!"

"He has the skill of Sabonis and the agility far surpassing Sabonis!"

Hussman is not surprised by this result: "The Spurs really prefer these talents who have proven themselves on the European battlefield."

Because they don't like high school students who are self-righteous and have a bunch of rotten problems.

Mo Mengchen can only accept the fact that the Pistons are about to select Eddie Curry.

"You seem a little depressed?" Hussman asked with a smile.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it." Dor. Mo had just trained Davis to become a talent, and then came a more difficult one.

The next step is the highlight, and the second pick is the Magic.

Mo Mengchen expects them to be fooled, since they like cutting beards so much, let's do it quickly and snatch Jordan's dream lover, Kwame Brown.

Then the world will know whether the eternal mystery is true or not.

What age-old puzzle?That is: If Kwame hadn't been abused by Jordan early in his career, would he have developed to at least an All-Star level?

Magic is now a bad team with no hope, and it is always open to young talents. Kwame will no longer be as down and out as the Wizards.

Some people say that Jordan ruined Kwame, which is not completely unreasonable.

Before the selection, Jordan was kind and nice, with a smile on his face like a peach blossom. Who would have thought that after his comeback, he would be a different person, like a tyrant who refused to accept his old age, and turned on the 1V9 mode on the court.Kwame's creepy playing style will always be scolded by the old hooligans. The puppet-like coach seems to have received an imperial edict. Seeing that Kwame made Jordan angry, he put him on the bench.

Before the draft, Kwame arrogantly called Jordan "Michael." After the draft, his address to the flying man became "Mr. Jordan."

Mo Mengchen imagined all possible things, and then Stern walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage again, holding the Magic team's envelope and facing the camera.

"2001 NBA Draft!"

"The Orlando Magic took .Kwame Brown with the second pick in the first round! From Georgia Green College!"

There were voices and applause at the scene.

Kwame Brown stood up. Although he failed to become the first high school champion in NBA history like in his previous life, he is still the pinnacle of high school students.

Before him, no high school student had been drafted in his position.

From this point of view, he has already made history.

Being selected by the Magic and bidding farewell to Jordan, the well-known tragic fate has also been reversed, and what awaits him in the future is unknown.

Kwame took the stage, only to hear Smith introduce him to the audience: "Kwame Brown is a genius from South Carolina with the athleticism of Kevin Garnett and the gorgeous skills of Chris Webber. "

Kwame stepped forward, and Jordan, who came to the scene, felt helpless. The person he valued was actually chosen away.

Although Mo Mengchen reminded him, he resolutely decided to choose Kwame. He is such a person, and the things he has decided will never change. It is a pity that this matter cannot be left to him, and he has no intentions in the dark.

Kwame hugged the president before stepping off the stage for an interview with ESPN.

"Kwame, you are the highest draft pick in history, what does that mean to you?"

"I'm very excited." Kwame looked full of confidence, just like he made a promise to Dumas at the Henry Ford Training Center that day. When it came to his future, he even made a statement, "The so-called superstar is to find fault. Find your flaws and work on it until it's perfect. I did the same."

Look, what a lad.If you exchange his expectations for the future with the Chosen Son two years later, and then look at the later achievements of the Chosen Son, there is absolutely no sense of disobedience.

"It's a pity." Husman, who didn't know the inside story, felt sorry for Mo Mengchen, "You missed him."

"Yeah, it's a pity." The Spurs are so infatuated that they want Gasol.

What a pity!

Mo Mengchen scratched his neck gently.

Then, Dumars called, and he needed final confirmation.

"Mo, we need your final decision."

"Just keep the original plan." Mo Mengchen said.

Original plan?Hussman froze, "Wait, wasn't your original plan to pick Kwame Brown?"

"No, our candidate is someone else." Mo Mengchen smiled lightly, "However, letting Kwame be selected by the magic is indeed part of the plan. You have to believe that there are really mangy dogs in this world staring at you."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that the ups and downs of the past few days are just smoke bombs that we deliberately released." Mo Mengchen looked at the TV screen regretfully, and Stern walked up to the stage again, "Some people were fooled."

Some people don't.

"Then your choice is."

"Shh!"

Mo Mengchen had to witness this moment with his own eyes. They actually made this decision.

"2001 NBA Draft!"

This is even more exciting than the No. [-] and No. [-] picks, because this draft belongs to the Pistons. In the past six years, they have always been the winners on draft day.

"Selected by the Detroit Pistons with the third pick in the first round."

This is not true.

"Eddie Curry! From Thornwood High!"

Applause and applause appeared at the same time.

The camera focused on Curry, who stood up and hugged his mother.

The clear TV allowed Mo Mengchen to see the expressions of the family.

Their complexions are all healthy.

that's it.

Curry puts on his Pistons cap and steps forward.

"Eddie Curry, this is the second lottery pick of the Pistons after Grant Hill! And, like Grant, he is the third pick!"

"As a team that won three consecutive championships, Eddie will get the most attention among players in his class."

"He has a height of 213 centimeters and a weight of 135 kilograms. For the NBA, I believe his body is ready."

"I just don't know, can this Baby Shaq bear the weight of a dynasty?"

"Will he be the future of the Pistons?"

After Curry hugged Mr. President, he turned and walked off the stage, and was interviewed by ESPN. He was still very excited: "Thank the Pistons for choosing me. I have always been their fan. I adore Dor.Mo crazily. I am his super fan." At the same time, Grant Hill is one of my favorite stars, and it's like a dream to play with them."

Mo Mengchen was not excited at all, because he was just memorizing the manuscript.

"This is your goal?" Even Hussman knows that this is not an option.

Correct.

"That's our goal." Dor.Mo didn't look very excited either.

Let's go back to the beginning.

If the 2000 draft was the only failed draft in history, then the 2001 draft was the most exciting draft in history.

In this draft, you can select Gilbert Arenas with a second-round pick, Tony Parker with a late first-round pick, and two mid-to-late first-round picks at the same time. Zach Randolph and Gerald Wallace, but with the third pick, you can only choose Eddie Curry or a few other dangerous options.

Except for the last one, the other picks are smart picks that pay off countless times over the draft picks.

This is the uniqueness of this draft.

　Why Eddie Curry?I will explain in detail before the next volume begins.Here I can only say that choosing Curry or others will not affect the competitiveness of the Pistons next season.
