I really just want to strike

It has to be the round of the match between the Mosaic and the Sonics.

Because the trajectory of history has been completely different.

The Jazz, who was dragged down by the Lakers for one more game, now wish that Mosaic and the Supersonics' tiebreaker would be as miserable as possible.

In New York, after the 76ers were eliminated, Stern has made up his mind to make great efforts to rectify next season.

Now, what Stern misses the most is undoubtedly the horrible ratings created by the Bulls and 76ers in the first round of the series.

Of course, regardless of nostalgia for the past, Stern has one very important thing to do right now...

That is, as the NBA's playoffs intensify, the 1997 draft lottery will also begin.

This is really a...

What a difficult choice to make.

After all, who would be better to get Duncan?

Anyway, definitely not Celtic...

……

Chapter 2 Hot man!He is tired!

If you know the story behind the NBA, then you know how "fair, open, and just" the NBA's draft lottery is...

Compared with 1996, which was full of stars, 1997 is really not a draft year.

So David Stern shouldn't have had to worry so much.

However......

All of this has to start with a man who has been in college for four years and was labeled by scouts as "If you don't pick him with the No. [-] pick, you are crazy"...

For him, the Celtics did not hesitate to trample on their past honor;

For him, Popovich thought Robinson and Wilkins were both sleepy and in need of rest;

For him, the top of the NBA in the 96/97 season was killed so badly, those "championship teams" at the end...

Just how much fun it is.

As we all know, since the NBA introduced lottery rules, the worse the team's performance, the higher the probability of winning the No. [-] pick.

In 1995, with the addition of the Grizzlies and Raptors, the NBA further revised the lottery rules.

The trajectory of history has already quietly changed.

The Celtics got the bottom one with a record of 12 wins and 70 losses as they wished, which also means that they will have nearly a quarter of the chance of being able to draw the No. [-] lottery.

Of course, even if they have a 99.99% chance of winning the No. [-] lottery, it is impossible for them to win the No. [-] lottery.

Therefore, Auerbach, who is familiar with Stern's routine, did not pin his hopes on the No. [-] pick from the very beginning.

In order to ensure that the Celtics can choose a hot man, Auerbach played the legendary double insurance this time.

At the trade deadline, he got another pick from Dallas that had a chance of clinching Duncan.

At the same time, Auerbach also trumpeted Van Horn, calling him Bird's successor, trying to confuse other teams' attention.

Unfortunately......

Auerbach knows Stern as much as Stern knows him...

Therefore, among the four correct answers most likely to get the No. [-] pick, the Celtics are the first to OUT.

Right now, Stern is worried about how to choose a "fair, open, and just" answer among the other three options.

In Su Feng's previous life, the original three options were the 76ers, Grizzlies and Spurs.

However, because the 76ers had won the No. 96 pick in 76 and selected Iverson, the [-]ers were the second OUT team after the Celtics.

But in this life, with the 76ers successfully reaching the playoffs, that is to say, this choice that would have been OUT in advance...

no longer exists.

Now, the teams replacing the 76ers with this option are:

New Jersey Nets.

There is no doubt that the 76ers are destined to become the team that disrupts the league structure in this lifetime...

Because in the regular season, while beating the Nets ... they lost to the Mark Jackson-led Nuggets who hadn't gone to the Pacers at the time.

As a result, because the Nets lost a few more games, and after the Nuggets defeated the 76ers, their morale was boosted and they won a few more games, so...

The Nets are automatically the worse team than the Nuggets.

So now the question is, among the three options of the Nets, Grizzlies and Spurs, who is Stern more inclined to?

First of all, in the Stern era, as new teams joining the league, in order to avoid suspicion, the general league would not give these newly joined teams the No. [-] pick.

In Su Feng's previous life, no matter how bad the Grizzlies and Raptors were, their best pole position in this period was the second place.

Therefore, it is now the Nets and the Spurs who choose one.

And this is exactly where Stern is troubled.

Because in Su Feng's previous life, after the Grizzlies, 76ers, and Celtics were all out, among the four answers, only the Spurs remained.

According to the rules of the draft lottery during this period, there are still a few teams that have the opportunity to select the No. [-] pick, but Stern, who is good at playing with the balance beam, will not choose this answer from other teams.

After all, becoming stronger by performing badly is the rule set by Stern himself.

In the case that this year's No. [-] pick is already a clear card Duncan, if the shady is too much, then who will follow the rules in the future?

So, here comes the problem again...

Does the Nets have any hope of beating the Spurs in this No. [-] pick?

The answer is: Yes.

Because the owner of the Nets, Lewis Katz, has been increasing his investment in the Nets in recent years after buying the Nets, hoping to create a team that can compete for the championship.

In Su Feng's previous life, under the command of this gentleman, the Nets created a team that reached the finals for two consecutive years.

Of course, Katz went back to playing ice hockey because he failed in the finals twice in a row.

However, at least for now, Stern is still very satisfied with Katz's investment.

Because in this era when everyone is losing money, if there is no such stunner, how can the NBA continue to play?

But......

After Peter Holt and 1993 other investors crowdfunded the acquisition of the Spurs in 22, Holt's passion for basketball was appreciated by Stern.

So... Stern has a headache.

At the critical moment, the joke children's shoes, whose status has been declining recently, gave advice. He said to Stern:

"I recommend signing this No. [-] pick to the Nets.

After the Knicks fought with the Heat this season, the negative impact was too serious.

If the Nets can rise through this No. [-] pick, then the rising Nets will have a geographical advantage over San Antonio. "

In order to restore his precarious position in Stern's mind, I don't know if the "joke" children's shoes will be killed by Spurs fans from another dimension, anyway...

He changed history on this night.

"I also agree with Adam's suggestion.

Although many of the suggestions made by Adam before are questionable in my opinion, I am clear about Lewis Katz.

After winning the No. [-] pick, he will definitely continue to invest, which is a good thing for the future development of the NBA. "

Just when Stern's heart was beginning to waver, Mark on the side gave him a boost in time.

Hearing that his two assistants had rarely reached an agreement, Stern no longer hesitated. Next, he looked at the two and said, "Then...

What kind of pick should we arrange for the Bostonians? "

How shrewd are the jokes and Mark?

They all know that Stern's arrangement for the Celtics is false, and it is true to force Auerbach to retire by giving the Celtics this arrangement.

If you know enough about the history of the Celtics and Auerbach's influence in this league, then you know how much Stern wants Auerbach to retire quickly at this moment.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why the management of the Celtics ushered in nearly ten years of turmoil was not unrelated to Auerbach's retirement in a fit of anger.

However, if Auerbach does not retire...

With his influence, among other things, those green army management personnel who are currently serving in this alliance...

They will use those showy operations you are familiar with to crazily transfuse blood for the Green Army.

In the future, Danny Ainge will only win over a few seniors, and they can build a Celtic team with the Big Three, let alone his teacher Auerbach?

To give a simple example, in terms of Su Feng's current transaction value, Su Feng's current transaction value is definitely as high as five stars.

Maybe you can exchange Su Feng with some fair bargaining chips in the game, but it is absolutely impossible in reality.

However, once Auerbach returns...

The Celtics can be rebuilt by the way you play the game.

It may seem that their trading chips will be fair, but this depends on the premise and basis that the other party will definitely trade with them.

Therefore, this is why the more Auerbach wants Duncan, the less Stern will give him Duncan.

What an international joke, if Auerbach comes out again, what will happen to the future coaches?

In case you create another team that monopolizes the NBA, how do I run it?

Stern is not a joke, so his gameplay will not be as open-minded and low-end as a joke.

"I think, how about giving the Celtics the second pick?

Didn't they always want a Larry Bird successor? "Joke gave his suggestion with a smile, and glanced at Mark while pushing his glasses.

After getting the joke suggestion, Stern looked at Mark again, and at this time, Mark, who had been prepared, said: "Believe me, David, Keith's character is destined to not become the next Larry." ..."

Stern knew that among his jokes and Mark, Mark was the one who knew the ball best, after all...

It was Mark who firmly believed that Su Feng would be able to fight back then.

Well... Now that Mark has said so, Stern also knows how to arrange the next draft lottery.

Alas, the life of a CEO is so boring and boring...

In Stern's view, the only pity is that there is really no market in Africa, otherwise, it would be a good choice to send a joke...

……

It has been two days since the 76ers were eliminated from the game.

Just like Su Feng's memory of practicing hard, the Heat finally defeated the Knicks in the tiebreaker, and Mosaic also eliminated the Supersonics.

Damn Uncle Mu!

Because right now with the Heat, it makes sense...Riley is the one who really gave the Eagles a kill, okay?

As for Mosaic, although their tiebreaker with the Supersonics was extremely dangerous, but...

With the Jazz dragged down by the Lakers for one more round in this life, Gang Zhen and Su Feng don't know who will get the tickets to the finals between Mosaic and the Jazz.

And just as Su Feng strengthened his "strength", Boston...

Whether it's Miller Carr, or the management personnel of the Green Army...

Everyone can hardly remember when was the last time they saw Auerbach in such high spirits.

"Teacher...your body?"

There is one thing to say, Miller Karl is not greedy for power, because in his opinion, if Auerbach is willing to come back, he is willing to let him work as a stadium cleaner.

Because in the eyes of the Celtics, Auerbach... is like a god.

"Don't worry, kid, you're still the head coach of this Celtics team, and I'll stand behind the scenes to support you."

Auerbach smiled and patted Millerkar on the shoulder. At this moment, his smile was more than brilliant?

A few hours ago, the NBA draft lottery ended.

The team that won the No. 1997 pick in [-] was...  

New Jersey Nets.
