New York, Big Apple.

Su Feng remembered that the last time he came here, he still came over with Kobe to play with Sam Gourd.

As a result, in the slums of Brooklyn, Su Feng witnessed the "appearance of divine skills." ”

After a year and a half, when Su Feng came to New York again, his identity had become a member of the "96 Golden Generation".

June 26, 1996 is destined to be remembered in the annals of history.

In the summer of 1996......

Just when Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to an unbeatable record over the league......

A group of enthusiastic young people also stepped onto the stage of the NBA with their youthful steps.

The four quarterbacks and the four PF will continue to take over the authority from their predecessors, and the old order will eventually be replaced by the new order.

The shark travels to the west, the throne changes, the stone Buddha does not come out, who competes?

East Aisico, North Carolina Nanmai, Webb driver, wolf king roared, who has such a "lonely" show of fighting and retreating?

It is worth mentioning that when Su Feng walked into the small green house in Madison Square Garden, the spicy man at this time was really a primary school student.

Well......

Well!

As we all know, after the introduction of lottery rules and the Little Green House in the NBA, every year at the time of the draft, the general managers of each team will select 15 candidates for the Little Green House fairly, objectively and without fraud.

So, as the cornerstone of David Stern's construction of the bridge across the sea, why couldn't Su Jishi enter the Little Green House?

Ahem, I can't wash it, let's talk about the next paragraph.

The biggest benefit of being a member of the Little Green House is that everyone will be given the right to shake Stern's hand before the draft begins, and will also receive a personal "blessing" from the NBA president.

Of course, whether it is a blessing or poisoned milk, it depends on your true ability.

In other words, when shaking hands with Stern, Su Feng always felt that this big guy looked at him twice.

"Su Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Moreover, Stern definitely practiced the pronunciation of his name because he didn't pronounce his name as "Shufen".

"Hello, sir."

This is the first time Su Feng and Stern have met, Stern is not tall, he is very kind with glasses, and he always keeps a smile when shaking hands with each rookie.

So, when he saw Su Feng in person, what was Stern's first impression of Su Feng?

Handsome?

That can't be, this president is not so superficial.

"Sure enough, it's a good seedling of an idol star."

Emmmmm......

In fact, in addition to being handsome, Su Feng really didn't leave a deep impression on Stern.

In this way, before the start of the draft, Su Feng left a valuable group photo with the other members of the 96th Little Green House.

At this time, in the draft venue, all the immortals of the 96 draft conference have arrived.

And even Su Feng, who has always been calm and calm......

After seeing so many people who had been hacked by himself in his previous life at once, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Sue, don't be nervous!" Kobe Bryant, who was holding Su Feng's left hand, looked at Su Feng and said while breaking out in a cold sweat.

Su Feng: "......"

In the draft venue, Su Feng's family sat next to Kobe's family, and not far from them was Iverson, who was blocked by a chubby "hairball".

Speaking of which, although it has been a while, Su Feng is still very curious about why Iverson passed the ball to himself during the trial at that time.

The cameras quickly focused on Iverson, who was about to pick up the top pick tonight.

And that chubby "hairball", that is, Iverson's mother, Ann Iverson, as if afraid that others would not know that Iverson is her son, kept pointing at her son, Allen Iverson, at the camera.

Facing the camera, Iverson kissed his wife, who was sitting next to him, and his wife, who was holding her and Iverson's newborn child in her hands.

I have to say, Jieke is really the whole family going into battle together.

"Sue, your parents are too calm, aren't they?"

In the future, many Komi always think that Kobe is not afraid of heaven and earth, but in fact, Su Feng found that Kobe is also an ordinary person after getting along.

Just like he gets nervous too.

After all, he was not yet 18 years old at this time.

Su Feng smiled and patted Kobe Bryant's shoulder, "Because my parents can't understand English, I told them, just be a little happy when you read my name." ”

Kobe nodded, and unconsciously clenched Su Feng's left hand again.

In fact, at this time in the draft venue, Kobe Bryant was not the only one who was nervous.

Because not far from the draft venue is the "temporary war room" of the NBA29 team.

In 1995, after the Grizzlies and Raptors joined the league, the NBA had expanded to 29 teams, as for the 30th team......

Don't worry, didn't you see that the owner of Team 30 is now creating the Second Dynasty?

Wait until he retires!

……

Appeal——!

In Madison Square Garden, New York, there used to be a joke that when you hear boos, when it means the draft begins.

Amid a chorus of boos from the audience, NBA commissioner David Stern "shined" on the stage.

It's worth mentioning that before the shutdown came shortly after, Stern was not being booed too much.

Don't ask, ask is the person Stern does not change his face.

Off the court, every rookie was in the spirit of 120 at this moment.

Especially the players in the small green house, they are extremely looking forward to which team they will be selected.

"Kobe Bryant...... I don't think you need to worry too much, really. ”

Su Feng, who felt a little sorry for his left hand, looked at Kobe Bryant and said.

"I'm not nervous, Sue, but don't be too nervous."

Bryant said after "not being nervous" on the surface, but actually holding it tighter.

Su Feng: ORZ.

On the podium, after a brief opening remarks, the time came to reveal the answers.

I saw Stern read out unhurriedly: "The Philadelphia 76ers, who have the first round and the first pick, choose to-"

"Alan Iverson from Georgetown University!"

This is an answer without suspense.

As Iverson's name was pronounced, the audience erupted in cheers.

And the excited Ann Iverson danced with excitement.

Although Iverson, who has a small flat head, is far less domineering than he was later, in his youth, his big eyes really make you feel that he is discharging every second.

In Su Feng's previous life, it is not unreasonable that Iverson has many female fans, after all, this kind of rebellious little handsome guy is too lethal.

I saw Iverson wearing a gray suit on stage and wearing a 76er hat, and then, the big screen at the scene also played Iverson's college game picture.

The question of the ownership of the champion has been settled.

However, for the 96th draft conference, which is called the golden generation by the media, this draft conference has just begun.

Immediately afterward, Stern read Marcus Camby's name with the second pick in the first round.

Again, this is a choice without suspense.

Because as long as you don't look at it with a cross-cutting eye, there is nothing wrong with the Raptors choosing Camby at this position.

Camby was the most talented interior player in the Class of '96.

At this time, the Raptors, who are still a new team, adhering to the concept of building a team around the interior, it makes sense to choose Camby.

With the third pick in the first round, Stern read out the name of Sharif Abdul Rahim.

Like the Raptors, the Vancouver Grizzlies, as a new team, did not dare to make any noise in the draft.

Raheem is skilled and has great footwork, and he has scored more than 20+ points in five seasons in his career.

In the 99/00 season, he also won the "20+10" and was selected as an All-Star.

The next fourth and fifth picks are also the same as Su Feng's memory, the Bucks chose Marbury, and the Timberwolves chose Ray Allen.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, it won't be long before the Timberwolves and Bucks complete the swap.

Next, it's time for the Celtics to sign.

Stern pronounced the name of the volute.

Well......

It was not the volute beside Su Feng, but the volute of Antoine Walker.

Although Walker has a "I'll kill you if you dare to look at me" face, in fact, if you look at him, he will send you a few rebounds in front of you at most.

Walker belongs to the kind of man who can't stop him from throwing three-pointers in the era and rules, and the more inaccurate he is, the more cheerful he is.

If he didn't know his career experience, Su Feng would even feel that this product was holding the same system as himself.

Then, the seventh-pick in the first round in 1996, the Clippers ......

Outline.

"The Dallas Mavericks, who have first-rounder, eighth-round picks, are selecting—"

When he heard about the eighth pick and the Dallas Mavericks, Su Feng always felt as if something was wrong.

Soon, he knew something was wrong.

Let me move the clock forward a few minutes......

Shortly after the Clippers selected Lorenzen White, the Mavericks' front war room was a mess of the Mavericks' uniform crew.

Because next, it's their turn to make a choice.

However, there is still no movement in Los Angeles.

And just a day ago, Jerry West had just met with the Mavericks' uniform crew.

"I want your first-round pick." At that time, as soon as the LOGO man came up, he went straight to the topic.

"But Jerry, you have to know, this is the No. 8 pick in the first round in 1996."

The new Mavericks coach Clemens, who participated in the talks, laughed.

"I know, therefore, we're going to send Verratti Divac to Dallas." West said calmly.

Before Nelson Sr. has not gone to Dallas, and Cuban has not bought the Mavericks, I'm sorry, even if the Mavericks are about to have the "Dallas Three" next season, they are not afraid to poke the hearts of the cows, they are still -

Trash in spicy chicken.

Dallas is notoriously racist, which makes it difficult for the Mavericks to recruit stars.

The period when Nowitzki was about to retire after winning a championship in the future was a case in point, when no superstar wanted to go to Dallas, no matter how much the veteran driver took a pay cut.

Until the man named 077 appeared.

So, when West said he was willing to send Divac to Dallas, the Mavericks uniform crew was intrigued.

Because at this time, the Mavericks are trying to pick an interior player in the draft.

Not to mention a good white center like Divac?

It's just that Clemens, who thinks he is very good at negotiating, said after thinking for a while: "Verratti's salary is a problem, and I think you need to add some leverage." ”

West seemed to have already responded, "No problem, so how about I give you our second-round pick next year?" ”

"Next year's second-round pick?" Clemens shook his head.

"In that case, I'll give you Cebaros and Eddie Jones too."

"Why don't I give you the entire Los Angeles Lakers?"

With that, West turned around and was about to leave.

And at this time, the Maverick uniform team was in a hurry.

What kind of international joke, this year's Mavericks are going to choose the object called Samaki Walker, in the eyes of the Mavericks' uniform team, how can Divac be more fragrant......

You must know that at this time, Divac was twenty-eight years old, and he was in the year of fighting.

In this era of more conservative thinking, in the words of the Mavericks uniform team: The Lakers are giving us a big gift package!

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why West did not trade up for a higher pick was not only the objective fact that the first-round pick of the 96 golden generation was valuable, but also because the Hornets at that time were an Eastern team that "lacked a center".

You know, sending Divac to trade Kobe Bryant is just the first step in West's next game of chess.

How could West not know how powerful Divac was?

Sending Divac to his opponents in the West was unwilling either emotionally or threateningly.

It's just that the appearance of Su Feng in this life made West unable to fight the idea of the calf.

To put it bluntly, the LOGO man wanted to jump out of the LOGO and beat Su Feng.

At this time, the Mavericks are short of a center, and at the same time, the No. 8 pick they got is the safest choice for Kobe Bryant in West's opinion.

West is confident the Mavericks will agree to the deal.

But to make sure the deal can be done, he's willing to add another second-round pick, which is already the limit of what West can afford.

More ......

That's not a deal, it's really being blackmailed.

Well, despite all the talk, the Mavericks' PY deal with the Lakers ended up being done.

As agreed, the Mavericks will be responsible for using their first-round pick No. 8 to select a man for West at the draft, after which the Lakers will complete a trade with them.

"Who do you want to choose?" The Maverick uniform team asked curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes." In order to ensure that there are no more moths, West is also tight-lipped about his soon-to-be-PY trading partners.

Then, let's return the camera to the Maverick's forward war room.

"It's only five minutes away, the Lakers aren't lying to us, are they?"

It feels like the Mavericks uniform team who have been fooled by the Lakers are dying after they can't wait for instructions from Los Angeles......

Because next, it's their turn to make a choice.

"Forget it, don't wait, if it doesn't work, ......"

And just when the Mavericks' uniform team decided not to wait for the notification from Los Angeles, the Lakers' call came.

"Please help me choose Kobe Bryant." Jerry West said on the phone.

……

"The Dallas Mavericks, who have first-rounder, eighth-round picks, are selecting—"

"From Raul Merrien, Kobe Bryant!"

At the draft venue, when Kobe Bryant heard his name, he let go of the hand he had been holding Su Feng's left hand......

It's just that when Kobe Bryant was busy excited, Su Feng was stunned.

Ha?

Rookie No. 8?

Dallas?

"Aren't the Mavericks the ninth pick? Wait......"

Although he didn't understand why Maverick became the eighth pick for a while, Su Feng remembered that Maverick was not very short of outside players at this moment.

Because they have Jim Jackson and Mashburn......

Hey?

Yes, the Mavericks at this time are not short of outside lines, but they lack inside lines!

And the Mavericks uniform group during this period is quite NC......

Because they didn't choose Dampier in the back, they ran to choose Samaki Walker, and as a result, Dampier went to the Mavericks a few years later.

After thinking about it seriously, Su Feng felt that he had guessed the answer.

Sure enough, just after Kobe Bryant wore a Maverick's hat to the stage for a show......

When he returned to his family in the venue, in addition to hugging his parents, he also whispered in Su Feng's ear, "Su, do you know, my agent asked me not to be in a hurry to be interviewed. ”

Su Feng nodded, pretending not to know anything, looked at Kobe Bryant curiously and asked, "And then?" ”

"He told me that the Lakers had made a trade and that I was going to the Los Angeles Lakers!" Kobe Bryant was excited like a kid at the moment.

“......”

LOGO man, he is LOGO man.

Even if Kobe Bryant runs to the eighth pick, he can bring him to Los Angeles.

Su Feng served......

However, the trajectory of history seems to be different from before.

Because Su Feng remembered that in Kobe's biography, Kobe knew that he was going to the Los Angeles Lakers, at least a few days later......

Well, although I don't know what went wrong, but seeing Kobe Bryant change from the No. 13 rookie to the No. 8 rookie in this life, don't say it, Su Feng doesn't feel disobedient......

"Sue, I'm not going to interview you yet, I want to see if you get picked in the first pick."

The excited Kobe Bryant sat next to Su Feng, and at this time, he was completely free of his previous nervousness.

"Don't be nervous!" Kobe smiled and patted Su Feng's shoulder and said.

Su Feng: "......"

After Kobe Bryant was drafted with the eighth pick, the Nets switched the pick to the Mavericks with the ninth pick, but they still selected Corey Kittels.

"Hmm...... It seems that the reason why the Lakers want to use the No. 8 pick to select Kobe Bryant should be that they know that if they don't choose Kobe Bryant with the eighth pick, then the Nets are likely to choose Kobe Bryant at this pick. ”

Su Feng knew that because of his appearance in this life, the situation was completely different from the previous life.

Originally, in his previous life, in the eyes of many media, Kittels was a step ahead of Kobe Bryant during this period.

But in this life, a few days before the draft, Su Feng found that many media believed that Kobe's potential was above Kittels.

"The LOGO man is so stable, he was stuck in the thirteenth pick in his previous life, and he is also accurately stuck in the eighth pick in this life......"

Su Feng felt that he would have the opportunity to find a way to test the LOGO man in the future.

Because of this goods, it's too much like crossing the party.

Next, with the tenth pick, the Pacers chose Dampier, who in the future claimed to be the No. 1 center in the West, and then was abused by Yao Ming and O'Neal successively.

But complaining and complaining, there is one thing to say, Dampier is indeed relatively good in the pile of meat shields in the future.

And with the eleventh pick in the first round, the Warriors, who didn't look down on Su Feng before, chose Todd Fowler.

Well, this choice is as bad as the warrior uniform group of this period.

With the twelfth pick in the first round, the Cavaliers chose the Ukrainian flesh wall Peter Tapan.

Maybe it was because he was still excited after being selected, Su Feng could clearly feel that Kobe Bryant couldn't wait to be interviewed.

"Do you want to ...... Let's go for an interview first, I feel like I'm going to have a long time on my side. ”

Su Feng estimated that he would have to be around 20th before he could be selected, so looking at Kobe Bryant, who was already impatient, Su Feng smiled.

"No...... I'll stay with you. Bryant said after a moment of struggle.

Su Feng is happy, it is really a steel friendship, it is really worthy of being a plug-in for his long-term investment, reliable!

And just when Su Feng and Kobe Bryant were chatting......

"Charlotte Hornets with the first round, the thirteenth pick, they chose to—"

"From Raul Merion, Su Feng ——!"

Su Feng: "......"

When he heard Stern read out his name, Su Feng was stunned at first, and then stunned.

Especially after Kobe, who was more excited than him, shook him several times, Su Feng could be described as flustered, stunned, and dizzy......

"Wei Guo, is our son chosen?" Wang Yuanyuan on the side was surprised.

"It seems to be!" Su Weiguo echoed.

In 1996, the thirteenth rookie in the first round......

Su Feng pointed at himself with his finger.

Seashell......

When Su Feng took the stage, he couldn't hear the cheers or boos around him.

Looking at the amiable president on the stage, Su Feng always felt like he was in a dream.

"Congratulations, Su Feng." Stern patted Su Feng's shoulder, and Su Feng also put on the ......

Charlotte Hornets hats.

Su Feng, who is familiar with the Hornets lineup during this period, knows very well that the Hornets are not short of outside lines at this time.

And I haven't been to the Hornets for a tryout.

So after calming down, Su Feng's first reaction was:

Which team is betting on itself with such a high pick?

Actually......

Just when Su Feng was stunned and looked stunned under the tree.

In the front war room, the King's uniform team, the supersonic uniform team, and the Phoenix uniform team all have a feeling of being out of the ghost......

Who is it that cut us off?

After saying a few words according to the draft prepared before the start of the draft, Su Feng, who stepped off the stage, quickly knew the answer.

Bill Duffy pulled him aside with a look of delight.

"Sue, keep a low profile in an interview, and don't mention how to position and develop the team in the future." Bill Duffy whispered.

"Huh?" Su Feng looked at his agent with a curious expression.

"The Philadelphia 76ers have officially submitted a trade request!

The Philadelphia staff just told me that the deal would be completed as long as the league approval was over! Bill Duffy patted Su Feng's shoulder and smiled.

Fee......

Philadelphia 76ers?

……

PS: Okay, chapter 76, being selected by the 76ers, all the foreshadowing, all done, as for the explanation? What do you say in the next chapter..... This chapter is 6000, 7000, and today it is 13000! I'm going to be boiled by the editor again! Ask for collections, rewards, and recommended tickets!!
