The 2000 NBA Draft was held in Minneapolis, the largest city in the state of Suda, and many people felt unfamiliar with Minneapolis, the largest city.

But when it comes to the Minneapolis Lakers, many people may be very familiar with the words 'Lakers' in the back, after all, this is an absolute giant team in the NBA.

Minneapolis was the location of the Lakers before 1960, and after 1960, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles and changed their name to the Los Angeles Lakers, which is why the Minneapolis Lakers sound so strange. And the choice to hold the draft here this year is obviously a tribute to this old city.

On the day of the draft, Yang Dongxu also came to the draft meeting, which attracted the attention of many people. After all, the 76ers' general manager, Buck Coulson, and coach Larry Brown are all very familiar to everyone.

And these two people accompanied a person with an obvious oriental face into the arena, and everyone instantly thought of the acquisition of the 76ers, the mysterious big boss of the East who rarely appeared in front of the media.

Then thinking of the big man from the East in this year's draft, many people can't help but have an idea in their hearts. But whether the idea is the idea or not is another matter.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that draft picks are equal to money, and money belongs to the boss. They have the right to decide the 76ers team, but if they press this big man in the East, but in the end he doesn't play a result, then the team owner will definitely settle accounts with him.

So on the NBA court, which cares about white and black, there is an Oriental owner, and then the other party seems to want to bring an Oriental big man into the NBA, so that some teams are not so comfortable, but it is just uncomfortable.

After all, the boss who can afford to play the team in the NBA is not something that those of them who are uncomfortable on the scene can offend, not to mention that this boss is not only said to be IT, but also very familiar with some bigwigs in Hollywood. Those bigwigs are all capital predators, and they also control a lot of media resources, and they can't afford to mess with them.

It's okay to keep racial discrimination in your heart, and sometimes it's okay to show it openly, but you must not say it in person, let alone be exposed by the media, otherwise it will be a great trouble.

The 76ers had a very good record last year, so the first-round picks were relatively low, and Buck kept the first-round picks in his hands even if he thought that Da Yao would not be selected in the first round for insurance.

In this way, even if someone chooses Da Yao to gamble, he can use this first-round pick to trade with money, or second-round picks to trade with money.

In short, he must 100% guarantee that Da Yao will be advanced to the 76ers, even if he does not sign on the spot and then change the sign, or trade, in short, no matter what method is used, Da Yao must enter the 76ers to play.

If Da Yao is not selected in the first place, it will be simpler, make a deal with other teams in advance, see if that team is optimistic about the first-round rookie in addition to the person he signed with the first-round pick, and then the 76ers will help sign the two before making a trade.

At the beginning of the draft, Yang Dongxu was sitting there, and the president of the league began to read his name, and his appearance did not change history, and Kenyon Martin became the top pick and was signed by the New Jersey Nets.

The top pick was the Vancouver Grizzlies' draft pick, who selected St. Michael Swift, and then the Los Angeles Clippers selected Myers, with no change in the top three.

The top three players who were selected as the top three power forwards showed the love of the league teams for power forwards. This made Buck nervous, after all, although Da Yao had never played in the United States, there was no information to be obtained by scouts, but after all, where is the height, this is full of talent.

However, after a nervous session, I still put my heart back in my stomach, although many people noticed Da Yao, but no team took the risk to sign him, after all, many scouts and managers still believe in the data they have, after all, there is data that will not deceive talents is the most professional. As for the unforeseeable future, it's the future and it has nothing to do with them.

So when it was the turn of the 76ers in the 20th place, Da Yao was still not selected, and even many teams began to wonder if it wasn't for the 76ers, whether this big man from the East would enter the second round, and even lose the second round.

Buck glanced at his boss and found that the boss didn't say anything, he gritted his teeth and went down to make a trade, and then instead of choosing Da Yao, he chose Spid Claxton according to the historical trajectory.

This choice made the faces of many team managers suddenly look exciting, and they kept looking at the 76ers. Thinking about whether this big man in the East really can't do it, the 76ers boss is reluctant to give the other party a first-round pick.

So in the second round of Taobao, do you want to make a disgusting 76ers? But what if the other party just runs this big man to play in the NBA and doesn't want to really sign it, will it be smashed in his hands?

While these team managers and teams were struggling with speculation, the Los Angeles Lakers completed their 29th first-round pick, and the draft began to move into the second round.

The draft continued, and as the second round of people was continuously selected, everyone couldn't help but look at the 76ers frequently, because the second round of the top ten drafts had passed, and the 76ers still didn't want to sign Da Yao, and it seemed that they were still waiting for something.

It wasn't until the 19th that he used his draft pick to get Yao Ming, which made many team managers start to struggle again. Is this for the sake of compatriots, is it not good to sign in the second round? Or is it that the 76ers have succeeded in this operation and signed the players they want without paying any price, in short, there is too little information to analyze and can only be entangled.

"You look very nervous, can you still sign it if you say it?" Looking at Da Yao, who came over with a 76er hat, Yang Dongxu laughed and teased.

"It's a little nervous. Da Yao smiled embarrassedly, he was still too shy and not as lively as in private in later generations.

"Don't care so much about rankings, if you can show results, even if you are selected last, it will only make you more dazzling, and this flaw can't hide anything. After teasing, Yang Dongxu comforted.

Obviously, I'm afraid that Da Yao will have a problem because of the draft ranking. However, Yang Dongxu obviously thinks a little too much about this, as long as he can enter the NBA and play, he has achieved Da Yao's own expectations, and he has never thought about the draft ranking before.

flew back to Philadelphia with the team, and Yang Dongxu personally sent Yao Ming to the arena, showing his attitude as a big boss. For Yao Ming's arrival, the team players are very welcome.

Compared to other teams, who are a little curious and wary of this kind of Eastern face, the 76ers do not have this problem at all. Because the two team doctors from the east have won their absolute trust.

On the court, when some players dislocate due to fierce confrontation, or muscle and groin injuries need to go off the field to the hospital for X-rays or even surgery.

The team doctor who followed him could accurately judge the injury as long as he touched it, and even if it looked terrible, it could be reset in minutes in their hands.

And after the reset, it can also be judged whether the player can play again, no matter what kind of diagnosis is made, there has never been any case of misjudgment of aggravated injury when I go to the hospital after the game.

This is also one of the main factors why the 76ers have been getting better and better in recent years, but the injury has remained at a low level.

So now many NBA teams have noticed this, and even some stars with good physical fitness want to play with the 76ers, and many people no longer look at Chinese medicine as before, feeling that it is mysterious but terrible witchcraft, but beginning to look at this dazzling crystallization of human civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years from the right perspective.

"In terms of training, I have already explained to the training room, and I have adapted to the team for a while, so don't worry if I can't get any results. Also, don't blindly gain weight, and think carefully about signing sneakers.

Signing fees and other factors are secondary, but you have to make sure that the shoes you are provided with are safe and suitable for you, and there are many players who retire in the NBA because they hurt their ankles.

If there is anything wrong with the body during training or confrontation, communicate with the team doctor as soon as possible. In addition to being team doctors, Lao Zhao and Lao Wang also serve as team trainers, and they usually communicate with them even if they have anything. ”

"I know. "Coming to a strange place and getting along with so many strangers, Da Yao was quite apprehensive at first.

But feeling the heartfelt enthusiasm of his teammates, and the fact that there are two familiar Chinese in the team, it is not too happy that someone can communicate with him in Chinese.

"Let the assistant take you down to familiarize yourself with the environment of the stadium, I have already found the house for you, but you have to pay the rent yourself." And you have to keep up with the usual training, or even do it well enough than everyone else. Yang Dongxu knows the truth of being too late.

So there are some things he can help Da Yao prepare in advance, but some things need Da Yao to adapt to himself, after all, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in the NBA without extraordinary efforts. After all, those who can enter the NBA are talented, how can they stand out among so many talents without working hard?

"I know, you see how I behave. Yao Ming patted his chest and assured that this was not an empty word, but he must make a decision from the heart, whether it was training or ordinary life, he decided that it was not a matter of any mistakes, and he would be a model for oriental players.

"Let's do our best. Yang Dongxu patted him.

Then I went into the office with the team administrator, and after the draft, it was the summer game, and then it was the new season, and the goal of the 76ers in this season was the championship.

After all, the team has received enough reinforcements this year, especially Lamar Odom, who spent a lot of money to trade back from the Clippers last year, played a future superstar performance in one season, scored a triple-double in a single season and was selected for the first team of the best rookie.
