Chapter 154 The 1997 No. 1 pick is revealed! The Bulls advance to the finals! (For automatic subscription)
Last year’s No. 1 pick battle was between the Celtics, 76ers, Grizzlies and Raptors.
In the end, David Stern chose the Grizzlies to be the lucky one.
This year, the Grizzlies, who won O’Neal, turned peasant/slave to sing, went straight to the playoffs and left the lottery.
But the Celtics, 76ers and Raptors are still in the lottery.
In particular, the Green Army and the 76ers are still rivals for the top pick.
The two teams are also old rivals.
It’s just that the Celtics have the highest probability of winning the No. 1 pick this year, because their record is the bottom of the league.
It is worth mentioning that.
It is different from last year’s Auerbach personally hooking the lottery.
It wasn’t the general manager or head coach that the Celtics sent to represent the team in the lottery this year.
Since Auerbach’s departure, coach M.L. Kyle has also been fired from the coaching position.
The positions of the general manager and head coach of the Green Army are now vacant.
So, they sent the team’s 13th pick in the summer of ’96, Kobe Bryant, to represent the team in a lottery.
As the representative of the Celtics lottery, the young Kobe Bryant has become the focus of the media.
You know, the Green Army has been rotten for two consecutive years, the first year for Mo Ran, and the result failed.
This year, it was for Tim Duncan.
Can they take down Mo Ran’s nemesis Duncan after losing Mo Ran?
It all depends on the luck of Xiaoke today!
Interestingly, the Vancouver Grizzlies reached the playoffs with a different timeline than the original.
This led to a change in the 97 draft pick.
Everything will be different from what Mo Ran remembers.
However, Mo Ran thinks that it should only start with the fourth pick, and it will be different from memory.
Unsurprisingly, the San Antonio Spurs should still be the owner of the No. 1 pick.
Although Mo Ran has no good impression of Po/Povic, but this history should not change.
After the 570 representatives who represented the 14 lottery teams were drawn.
The 1997 NBA draft lottery ceremony officially began.
Since there were only 29 teams in the NBA in the 1996-97 season, the Suns, the eighth in the Western Conference, became the only lucky one among the playoff teams.
They took the No. 14 pick and became the only team in the playoffs with a lottery pick.
A league with only 29 teams is just that wayward.
When the Bobcats join the league, the playoff team’s own first-round picks can enter the history of the lottery, and the following will officially end.
Starting with the 14th pick, it was completely different from the order Mo Ran remembered.
In the original timeline, the 14th pick in 1997 belonged to the Los Angeles Clippers, but now it belongs to the Phoenix Suns!
Immediately afterwards, from the ownership of the 6-13 pick, all moved one place forward from the original timeline.
For example, the Kings, who were originally 11th overall, won the 10th pick.
The Raptors, the ninth pick, took the eighth pick.
The fifth pick belongs to the Dallas Mavericks.
This sign is highlighted as a hook.
Because, in the summer of 1997, the Mavericks, the Celtics and the Lakers made a three-way trade around Allen Iverson.
The Mavericks traded their 1997 first-round pick to the Celtics.
So at this time, the Celtics won the No. 5 pick in the hands of the Mavericks while competing for the first-round pick of their team.
Next, the fourth pick belongs to the Denver Nuggets!
This means that the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs have become the final team.
Who will be the final No. 1 pick?
In fact, until the draft results were finally released, the meetings of the NBA’s top management did not stop.
Some people think that Auerbach’s resignation at this juncture is too coincidental.
The Celtics are likely to rise with this No. 1 pick, no matter who their future management team will be.
At the same time, some NBA executives believe that. (bhcf)
Without Auerbach, the Celtics’ future general manager is likely to be rookie general manager Li Pitino.
The general manager of the rookie entered the office, and the management of the Green Army is likely to fall into chaos.
Giving them the No. 1 pick may not be as scary as imagined.
And, with the current rise of the Los Angeles Lakers, the yellow-green war in the new era can be regarded as the theme of the post-Jordan era.
Tim Duncan + Jason Kidd vs Mo Ran + Allen Iverson’s yellow-green battle, the gimmick is completely full!
more importantly.
Rookie Stephen Marbury, who was acquired by the Philadelphia 76ers last year, has begun to press the palace to apply for a trade.
This makes the team toxic!
San Antonio isn’t a big city either.
Tim Duncan and Mo Ran are the main hype counterparts in the future league.
The story between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs is too bad.
Of the three teams in the finals, the Boston Celtics are a reasonable choice.
In the end, when Greg Po/Povic saw the No. 3 ball, the smile on his face froze.
Why won the No. 1 lottery, Bo/Povic personally served as the team’s coach, according to the admiral not to play, crazy rotten.
After trying so hard to lose an entire season, in the end, the Spurs only got a No. 3 pick!
That is to say, there are too many media at the scene, otherwise the Spurs coach really wants to spit out old blood.
The Spurs hooked the game in advance, which means that the No. 1 pick will belong to the Eastern team.
Is it the 76ers?
Or the Celtics?
Soon, the mystery was revealed.
The 76ers, who got the No. 3 pick last year, got the No. 2 pick this year!
And the Celtics, who missed Mo Ran last year, finally won the No. 1 pick this year!
Auerbach smiled in relief after seeing the final draft results.
At the same time, he sprayed David Stern in his mind a hundred times!
If I have to leave the NBA myself, can I sign the champion to the Green Army?
You said it earlier!
As I said earlier, I quit my job last year!
Isn’t Mo Ran fragrant?
However, it was also because of missing Mo Ran last year that Auerbach realized the problem.
Is this a blessing in disguise?
Maybe.
The Green Army won the No. 1 pick after a long absence, and Auerbach slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
Next up is Larry Bird’s operation this summer.
The No. 1 pick was definitely Duncan, but the No. 5 pick from the Mavericks made a big difference!
Although the cardinal couldn’t give Bird any advice, he believed that Big Bird would not let himself down.
“Cough, right!”
Thinking of this, Auerbach called Larry Bird’s private phone.
After the call was connected, the cardinal’s first words were:
“Hello, Mr. Larry Bird, head coach of the Boston Celtics.”
The Boston Celtics of the Larry Bird and Tim Duncan eras are coming!
At the same time, the result of this pick surprised Mo Ran in front of the TV.
No. 1 pick to the Celtics?
Does this mean that,
Next season’s Celtics core lineup: Jason Kidd + Kobe Bryant + Tim Duncan?!
The first year of this lineup may not be too scary, after all, Kobe still needs to improve.
But looking at the young students who have made rapid progress in the Green Army this year, I am afraid that in Duncan’s second season, the Green Army will achieve a qualitative change!
did not expect.
The Mile Jordan era is coming to an end.
The East is back in the days when the Boston Celtics ruled!
Meanwhile, Mo Ran was very comfortable with Po/Povic’s swooning expression.
Thinking about what this old guy said in Mogou’s remarks in the future, Mo Ran thinks that the Spurs didn’t get the No. 1 pick in this timeline, and they deserved it!
It is best that their No. 3 lottery can’t choose a suitable candidate, and it becomes a parallel import!
After all, the quality of the 1997 rookies was generally low.
Of the No. 60 players in the draft, only 3 players were selected as All-Stars.
Under such a low success rate, the Spurs picked a parallel importer with the No. 3 pick, and the probability of not turning over from now on is also great.
The Spurs management collectively vomited blood, and the Celtics were undercurrent.
The Philadelphia 76ers, who won the No. 2 pick, were relieved a lot.
Stephen Marbury forced the palace to apply for a trade, which is no longer a concern for the 76ers management.
After all, sending away a potential point guard in exchange for immediate combat power.
Coupled with the more obedient potential star selected by the No. 2 lottery in 1997.
Maybe it’s better than leaving Marbury.
It is worth mentioning that, in the original timeline, the 76ers will send away Jerry Stahouse in the 97-98 season, leaving Allen Iverson.
And now it seems that the 76ers may have to send Marbury away in the summer, leaving Jerry Stahouse.
As for where will the lone wolf go in the summer?
Perhaps only after the trading market opens, there will be an answer.
After the results of the 1997 draft lottery were released, the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls played in G5 of the Eastern Conference finals in Chicago.
The Bulls lead the Heat 3:1 and hold the match point of the series.
They did not let the Heat make any waves in their own home.
Heard that the Heat are the toughest defensive team in the East?
Then the Bulls use defense and win the game!
In the whole game, the Bulls limited the Heat team to only 36.1%!
They even scored only 19 and 15 points in the first and third quarters.
While the Bulls have their own defense to limit the Heat, the offensive end is also not soft at all.
They scored 64 points at halftime, leading by 14 points at halftime.
In the end, the Bulls defeated the Heat in the same way that the Miami Heat won.
They really did kill people and set the score at 4:1!
The defending champion gentleman swept the Miami Heat, 11 wins and 2 losses in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and advanced to the finals!
“The Eastern Champions are born!”
At the end of the game, the commentator on the sidelines said: “The future of the league may belong to the rookies who have won the sky, but the present of the league still belongs to a man named Mile Jordan! 99
“Meyer and his Bulls got a head start on the Finals ticket.
“They are still waiting high for a challenger from the west!
“In the end, who will be the challenger standing in front of the bull to kill the rhyme west? 99
“Is it the Los Angeles Lakers? Or the Utah Jazz?”
Whether it’s the Lakers or the Jazz!
This year’s finals will be a collision of Mars hitting the Earth-level police!
“Whoever we’re going to play in June, they’re not our opponents.”
In the press conference of the game logistics seat, Dennis Rodman, wearing the Eastern Championship hat, regained his confidence:
“Of course, if I had to choose, I’d rather meet the Los Angeles Lakers!”
The story between the Lakers and Rodman this season is definitely not clear in a few words.
The police said it was Rodman who wanted to meet the Lakers.
The whole world wants to see the Bulls vs. the Lakers in the Finals!
However, Rodman was so confident that the reporters were a little surprised.
Big Bug: ICU Warning!
Cough cough!
But the reporters thought about it carefully.
In the Eastern Conference three-round series, the Chicago Bulls only lost two games, and the reigning champion’s explosive hook dominance is unparalleled!
Not sure, they can really resolve the grievances at the Chicago Martial Arts Conference when they meet the Lakers in the finals.
On the other hand, Mo Ran almost laughed after watching the press conference after the Bulls’ victory in the Eastern Conference Finals.
It’s sunny and the rain has stopped, Rodman thinks he can do it again?
