On May 19th, the annual NBA Draft Lotto Draw was held at the Hilton Hotel in New York.

According to the regular season records of each team this season, the odds of each team winning the lottery are: Timberwolves, Knicks, 76ers, Lakers, Magic, Kings, Nuggets, Pistons, Hornets, Fire, Celtics, Jazz, Suns, Thunder.

Far away in New York, not far from the Hilton Hotel.

The old Zen master sat solemnly and watched the TV in front of him intently, and next to him sat Knicks owner Dolan and head coach Derrick Fisher.

Representing the New York Knicks in the draw is the current general manager Mills, who carries the expectations of the entire Knicks!

The anticipation of bringing Carl Anthony Downs back!

"The team that got the 5th pick in the 2015 draft is, the Orlando Magic!"

Magic Fifth!

It's in the top four!

The old Zen master's tired eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

The only consolation for him now is that the team can pick up this year's No. 1 pick, and for this he has tried to put it to the limit.

He has given up his honor as a championship coach, and at the end of the season, the Knicks had an unprecedented 16-game losing streak!

Not only is this the longest losing streak in Knicks history, it's also the longest losing streak in the history of a professional sports team in New York.

The Nets had suffered an 18-game losing streak, but they were in New Jersey at the time. However, before the Nets, the New York Nets suffered a 13-game losing streak in the 1976-77 season, ranking second in New York's losing streak.

They have already set various shameful records in team history with various loss patterns with no lower limit and no rhythm...... They gave up everything just to win this year's top pick.

Downs, it's called a new chapter in the modern basketball revolution!

Heir to kg Garnett!

Even!

He's more of a threat than Garnett because he also has a three-point hand that even Garnett doesn't have.

In the '90s, none of the NBA's big forwards were star players.

It was a time for center forwards: Patrick Ewing, Hakim Olajuwon, David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning, Deacembe Mutombo, Shaq......

The center was the backbone of the era, carrying the torch of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Wharton, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and even far back to the era of George McCann.

In contrast to the center position, the power forwards who do the dirty work on the team are the representatives of the "blue-collar workers" in the NBA league: Kurt Thomas, Anthony Mason, Dale Davis, Antonio Davis, Robert Horry, Dennis Rodman.

Of course, as with any other position, there are a handful of standout players in this position — Charles Barkley, Carl Malone, and Sean Kemp from his slender teenage years — but in general, the main responsibilities of a power forward are to grab rebounds, defend, throw punches, and be a close guard for star centers.

Kevin Garnett appeared in such an era.

Seven feet long, light work, its posture is like a deer, its arms are like Peng, skillful ball control, accurate transmission, 20 feet away can still hit the bull's-eye.

On that day in 1995, such a combination of skill and talent was unprecedented. No seven-foot man can play with the ball between his hips, and no seven-foot man can make a face-frame jumper from such a distance.

Kevin Garnett arrived, and everyone was shocked.

And now that Downs has come, everyone is shocked again, but their surprise is followed by endless joy and longing!

They are hungry for Downs, they are hungry for this young man who is even more talented than KG!

"This is the future!"

The old Zen master held Downs's technical statistics at the University of Kentucky in his hand, and his eyes were as hot as a furnace.

That's when .....

The voice on the TV screen sounded again......

"The team that got the 4th overall pick in 2015 was ...... New York Knicks!! ”

What?!

The old Zen master's calm face was instantly broken, and the whole person felt as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer, and his voice was distorted......

Fourth?

It's only fourth?!

Their top prize acquisition rate is 19.9%!

It's second highest after the Timberwolves, how can the fourth come out?!

And Mills, who was at the scene at this time, was also pale, and his palms were trembling......

Fourth......

How can it be fourth?

Mills' mind went blank, and he knew he might be bad......

Phil's goal is not just fourth, he wants the champion, he wants Downs!

But now......

What to do?

What to do?

"Phil......" The old fish stood up and worriedly supported Phil Jackson, who was about to fall.

The old Zen master trembled, and his whole body was rickety.

Bang!

Dolan slammed the stack of documents in front of him on the table with a gloomy face, and said angrily,

"Cheat! They're cheating! ”

Cheat?

The old fish sighed silently at the corner of his mouth, how can he cheat in public?

What's more, even if it's cheating?

Do you Dolan have what it takes to rewrite this ending?

Almost at the same time, Downs, who was watching the live broadcast at home, was also blindfolded.

"Damn, isn't it New York?"

He longs for the big city of New York, but now it seems that he is not blowing it himself, unless he is immediately injured and reimbursed for the season, otherwise he will never fall to fourth place......

Damn it!

I don't have a chance with the Big Apple!

......

Sitting on the plane, Xu Xuan laughed out loud while watching the news.

This year's draw was so much fun.

The Timberwolves won the No. 1 pick with a 25% winning rate, the Lakers were lucky to pick the top pick, and the 76ers picked the pick.

The Knicks, who obviously had a winning rate of 19.9, only drew the No. 4 pick, even here, Xu Xuan could think of what kind of picture New York should be now.

Sad?

Disappointed?

Chagrin?

Of course, this doesn't matter, at least it doesn't have much to do with Xu Xuan.

In fact, Xu Xuan knows that if you look at the historical trend, the Knicks, who drew the No. 4 pick, did not lose anything.

They used this signing to select Porzinjes, who is also a very promising centre-forward.

Seeing that Xu Xuan didn't speak for a long time, he just swiped his mobile phone, and the pickled pepper next to him gently poked his arm.

"What? It's okay to not rest? ”

Xu Xuanleng paused, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, the rest is not bad, the more nervous I am, the more I can sleep......

Pickled pepper nodded, which is not bad.

He looked out the window.

Outside, there was wind, there were clouds, and there was sky......

And, of course, the shadow he had thought about at night......
