The Washington Bullets' first-round picks have increased to three after acquiring power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Vince Carter and a first-round pick from the Houston Rockets.

On June 25, 1997, in Charlotte, North Carolina, the 1997 NBA Draft kicked off.

In this draft, the lucky San Antonio Spurs were the top picks, the Philadelphia 76ers were the first to be signed, and the Boston Celtics, who had the worst regular season record, were unlucky and only got the scout pick.

Outside of the three standings, the remaining 26 teams will get the remaining 26 draft spots in the first round in reverse order according to their regular season records. The Washington Bullets, who hold three first-round picks, earned the 10th, 14th, and 24th picks.

With the acquisition of power forward Kenyon Martin and small forward Vince Carter, the Washington Bullets' roster has been strengthened to some extent, but it is still weak.

At the center position, the Washington Bullets only have George Muresan who can be used and needs to be strengthened.

At the small forward position, the Washington Bullets have five players: Vince Carter, Chris Webb, Harvey Grant, Calport Channey, and Tracy Murray.

At the point guard position, the Washington Bullets don't have a player who can be the main player except for Long Zheng.

In the point guard position, before Rod Strickland returned from injury, only Li Xiaoyong struggled to support him.

There's no shortage of forwards, but there is a desperate need for centers, shooting guards and point guards, and that's where the Washington Bullets are facing.

Yao Ming, a center with the 10th pick, selected Derrick Anderson with the 14th pick, and Bobby Jackson, a point guard with the 24th pick.

In addition to the Washington Bullets, the San Antonio Spurs signed Steve Francis with the top pick, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Keith Van Horn with the top pick, the Boston Celtics signed Sean Marion, the Vancouver Grizzlies signed Antonio Daniels, the Denver Nuggets signed Tony Barty, the Boston Celtics signed Ron Mercer, the New Jersey Nets signed Tim Thomas, the Golden State Warriors signed Adonal Foyle and the Toronto Raptors signed Tracy McGrady......

The 1997 NBA Draft had just ended, but the Washington Bullets were making a lot of moves in the transfer market.

With power forward Juwan Howard, as well as the newly acquired scoring guard Derrick Anderson and point guard Bobby Jackson, the San Antonio Spurs were exchanged for point guard Steve Francis; small forward Harvey Grant in exchange for small forward Sean Marion from the Boston Celtics; Small forwards Calpotter Chaney and Tracy Murray traded for the Toronto Raptors for forward swingman Tracy McGrady.

In the summer of '97, the major European football leagues ended one after another, and all teams gave their players annual leave, and the players also took advantage of the precious annual vacation time to go on vacation.

The Valencia FC training base in Spain is where the players selected for the Salwyn men's football team gather. They will use Valencia FC's training base for the final training camp after the top 10 matches.

Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack, Klose, Ryumasa on a whim, and thirteen amateur players from the Federal Republic of Salween, Salwyn men's football team has managed to assemble its own eighteen-man squad.

Compared with the lack of players in the Salwyn men's football team, the coaching staff of the Salwyn men's football team is so luxurious that it is stunning.

Head coach Mexican Bora Milutinovic, assistant coach Brazilian Luis Filipe Scolari and German Rudi Worrall.

Mexican Bora Milutinovic, Brazilian Luis Filipe Scolari and German Rudi Worrall are not famous names in international football, and Mexican Bora Milutinovic stands out as the head coach of Salwyn's men's football team because of his ability to lead weak teams to defeat the strong.

Milou began his coaching career in 1983, first as head coach of the Mexican national team. In the 1986 World Cup, Milou led the Mexican national team to the quarterfinals for the first time.

In October 1989, Milou was the head coach of the Costa Rican team, and the following year's World Cup in Italy, he led the underdog, which was almost made up of amateur players, to create the myth of reaching the round of 16.

In 1994, Milou led the U.S. team to the round of 16 of the World Cup for the first time.

The Mexican national team, the Costa Rican national team, and the United States national team, all three are not traditional giants in world football, but they are all under the leadership of Milou, and they have achieved breathtaking and terrifying results, which shows Milu's ability to lead weak teams.

Milou is the head coach of Salwyn's national team, and he deserves it.

In addition to the head coach of Mexican Bora Milutinovic, the Brazilian Luis Filipe Scolari and the German Rudi Worrall are hired as assistant coaches of the team, but it is also to better tap the potential of Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack, and Klose, so that they can better integrate into the Salwyn national team formed by amateur players.

In the top 10 matches that started in September, the Salween national team was divided into Group A, in addition to the Salween national team, there are four teams in the same group: the Saudi national team, the Iranian national team, the Chinese national team, and the Qatar national team.

According to the schedule of the Top 10 matches, the 10 teams will be divided into two groups of five teams each, playing a double round-robin home and away match. The first place in the two groups will directly qualify. The second-placed teams in the two groups play the third- and fourth-place play-offs, with the winner also qualifying for the World Cup and the loser playing a play-off against the Oceanian team for that ticket.

Time flies, and the highly competitive top 10 competition has ended.

Under the leadership of the miraculous coach Milou, the Salwyn national team has an excellent record of four wins, two draws and two losses, accumulating 14 points to beat Saudi Arabia to rank first in Group A, and directly qualify for the World Cup.

In addition to the Salween national team, the Saudi national team ranked second in Group A with a record of three wins, three draws and two losses, accumulating 12 points, and successfully defeated the opponent in the play-offs with the second place in Group B, and successfully entered the World Cup.

The wheels of history are rolling away, but they have their amazing inertia.

Salwyn's national team beat Saudi Arabia and took away Iran's place in the World Cup in another time and space, but in the World Cup group draw at the end of 97, Salwyn replaced the original Iran and was also in Group F with Germany, the United States and Yugoslavia.

Group A: Brazil, Scotland, Morocco, Norway;

Group B: Italy, Chile, Cameroon, Austria;

Group C: France, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Denmark;

Group D: Spain, Nigeria, Paraguay, Bulgaria;

Group E: Netherlands, Belgium, Republic of Korea, Mexico;

Group F: Germany, USA, Yugoslavia, Salwyn;

Group G: Romania, Colombia, England, Tunisia;

Group H: Argentina, Japan, Jamaica, Croatia.

Long Zheng didn't expect that except for Salwyn replacing Iran, the French World Cup grouping in this time and space would be exactly the same as the French World Cup grouping in another time and space. (To be continued.) )
