Chapter 428: Lotto draw
Anjie became popular again, and the Trail Blazers fought hard for 48 minutes and finally lost to the Thunder, with a total score of 4-2 to stop in the Western Conference Finals!"
"The most improved team this season: the Portland Trail Blazers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"A respectable team, the Portland Trail Blazers want to win a new life. ”
The day after the game, the headlines in the various sports media were naturally about the Western Conference Finals results. On the eastern side, the Heat and the Celtics are still playing inextricably, and the western side has an early result, which naturally attracts much attention.
Surprisingly, however, almost 80% of the media used praise for the losing Trail Blazers. It is true that they lost, but the spirit of Anjie and his teammates who do not fight until the end makes most people like this team that has just lost.
The Trail Blazers may be the losers with the best reputation this season.
"They're strong, there's no doubt about that. I am very honoured that we were able to qualify against such an opponent. When Durant was interviewed by reporters, he didn't say how the Thunder were, but first collapsed the Trail Blazers.
A few years ago, the West was dominated by the Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs and other teams. But now, the two teams that met in the Western Conference Finals have become strange Trail Blazers and Thunder. If nothing else, these two young teams will continue to dominate the West for several more years. Charles Barkley gave an interview to reporters with a serious face.
As a loser, it has become the hottest team in recent times. This situation may not have even been thought of by An Jie himself. But while the outside world was talking about the Trail Blazers, Anjie sat down with Moslav and began to plan his vacation.
"Are you sure you want to be involved in so many aspects of team operations?" said Moslav asked him again with a frown, after listening to Anjie's confession.
"The team draft draw ceremony, the draft meeting, the personnel change discussion...... Ann, these things are not in your purview!"
"It is true that I have no authority to influence these matters, but Mr. Orsi has promised to seek my opinion on the change of personnel. We're going to build a very powerful team, and I don't want to fall in front of the O'Brien Cup again!" Anjie's resolute answer surprised Muslav, most children of Anjie's age play in the NBA purely for money or fame, and only a star like James, who has not tasted a championship for 9 years, will rush to achieve results and influence the operation of the team. But Anjie has only been in the alliance for 4 years, is it too early to do so?
"Mr. Orsi will take care of these things in an orderly manner, and if you spend so much time on these things, you will have very little rest time this holiday!" Moslav didn't want to see Anjie working so hard during the holidays, this summer was the start of the 2012 London Olympics, and Anjie would definitely be called up by the national team to play for his country. The Olympics are a big competition for China, and they are not as easy as playing the World Championships. Therefore, An Jie will definitely be very busy this summer, but now An Jie is not planning to be busy, but is still looking for things to do for himself.
"I'm not afraid to be busy, Mr. Moslav, I can't wait, I can't wait for another season!I don't know why, but when I'm so close to the O'Brien Cup, I can't resist the attraction of that thing!" Anjie said, smirking at Moslav. "So, let's do it this summer. ”
Muslav held his forehead, and with such a competitive and almost perverted fellow, Moslav really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Just when the outside world was commenting on the upcoming finals, An Jie had already booked a ticket to return home temporarily. No matter how busy you are, the time when you go back to spend time with your parents is still indispensable and must be squeezed out.
In addition to participating in various dinners and business activities invited by the government and celebrities during the week of returning to China, An Jie also insisted on his own training. In order to get the best training effect in China, An Jie even brought an NBA game ball. Because he was afraid that the feel and feel of basketball used in domestic training would be different from that of NBA games, and he didn't want to be affected by these subtle differences.
After eating a few home-cooked meals at home and sleeping in his familiar room for a few days, An Jie hurriedly said goodbye to his parents and flew to the United States again.
Now that the NBA Finals are in full swing, the collision between the Thunder and the Heat makes fans want to stop. But An Jie is not interested in watching others compete for the championship, the championship no longer belongs to him, and he doesn't want to be bored to watch the championship fall into the hands of others.
An Jie flew back this time mainly to participate in the 2012 NBA Draft lottery ceremony. The Trail Blazers reached the Western Conference Finals this season, and it stands to reason that the lottery draw has nothing to do with them. But it's because Orsi holds the Nets' top-three protected draft picks that makes the Trail Blazers the only team to break into the playoffs this season and still have the potential to pick a lottery pick.
Nets general manager Billy King stared nervously at the bouncing balls in the clear box, and the Nets have a 7.5 percent chance of getting the top pick this season, and he was willing to give up the draft pick because he was confident that the Nets would be able to draw a top-three pick. There is no way, the Nets' poor results this season can indeed give him enough confidence.
But when the No. 1 pick was drawn, the general manager of the Nets almost cursed. The Hornets were the No. 1 pick, and what does that mean? That means Anthony Davis' destined genius is missing out on the Nets!
Although there was some disappointment, the general manager of the Nets quickly picked himself up. He saw An Jie sitting in the audience at the venue, this guy didn't want to come here to get anything!
So after the second pick was drawn, the general manager of the Nets almost decided that this time it must be them!
"Let's congratulate the Charlotte Bobcats for their pick!" the NBA official in charge of the lottery smiled and announced the results, and the Bobcats' personnel manager shook hands with the official ecstatically, while Nets general manager Billy King looked frustrated. This black uncle's skin is now black and purple!
"One last chance, please, let the Nets get it!" said King prayed with his eyes closed, praying that he would get his wish. Billy King's plan is to use a top-three draft pick to lure Deron Williams to a contract extension with the team, and then use Deron Williams to attract Howard or Gasol to join, so that the Nets can quickly complete a rebuild. But without these top three picks, then all his plans are in vain!
"It's the last one!" and Billy King are also looking forward to the result, as long as the Nets are not drawn with the third pick, then the Nets' draft pick will go to the Trail Blazers! The Trail Blazers are different from the Nets, they are a team that already has a backbone and results. A top-notch draft pick can take the Trail Blazers directly to the height of a championship! Who can say clearly about such a thing as a draft? Can you guarantee that the Trail Blazers will not pick the next Kobe Bryant?
When NBA officials opened the ball, which would determine the fate of both teams, both Billy King and Angel found their palms covered in sweat!
"The team that got the third pick in the 2012 NBA Draft is the Washington Wizards, congratulations, sir!"
"Fuck the lottery!" Billy King angrily chopped his foot.
"I love this damn lottery!" Anjie shook his fist hard, and his move made many media cameras focus on him, and he seemed to be happier than the Washington Wizards who got the third pick.
Everyone has their own lives, and it looks like the Nets will have to take more time to get back on track.
In the end, the Nets picked what looked like a good No. 6 pick, but it was Anjie and his Portland Trail Blazers who were happy about it. Billy King's "self-confidence" made him the number one loser in the lottery draw. Countless Nets fans are calling for Billy King to leave class quickly, and countless Nets fans have shed tears of sadness. But those things have nothing to do with An Jie.
Billy King's missteps left the Trail Blazers the only team in the lottery at a playoff level. Don't underestimate this sixth pick, An Jie's rank back then was lower than this. With proper research, Anjie can find a suitable helper, and the arrival of this guy may also help the Trail Blazers soar.
"We will cherish this draft pick, what is our fate next season, this draft pick can be crucial!" After the conference, An Jie did not hide his joy in front of reporters. The championship building plan went particularly smoothly from the start!
With the hard-earned sixth pick, Anjay, Ricard and Nell Orsi sat in their offices inside the Rose Garden Stadium to discuss which player they needed to use that pick. Originally, Aldridge was also on the list of participants in this conference, but that guy couldn't make an appointment due to business reasons, so he handed over the decision to Anjie, whom he trusted very much.
The players that Anjie thinks are suitable will definitely make Aldridge feel suitable. He believes in Anjie's vision, and he knows that Anjie understands what kind of players the Trail Blazers need.
"You've really brought us good luck. Nelsey said, pulling out a roster and a slew of game footage on his computer. These lists are potential options for the Trail Blazers, and those videos are of these players in the NCAA.
"Phew, it looks like this is a chore. Anjie took the list and looked at the dense names and the data that matched the names, Anjie and Ricard and Nelsey were about to make a decision that would affect the trend of the Trail Blazers......
In the future, it all depends on how Anjie grasps it......
