Chapter Eighty-Four: You Actually Want to Choose Him?!
After Stern announced the official start of the draft!
The management of the Philadelphia 76ers was already busy, handing over the notes that had already been prepared to the on-site staff, who were quickly running towards the backstage of the draft.
Five minutes later, Stern reappeared.
"I announce that the Philadelphia 76ers have selected Allen Iverson from Purdue University with the first pick in the first round!"
Iverson's mother, Anne, and his two younger sisters stood up at this moment, screaming with joy, the hard days were finally over, and the good days were finally coming!
There was not much surprise at the scene when Iverson was elected champion!
This year's draft prediction lists of major media, no matter which list it is, the champion predicts Iverson, so when Iverson is really elected champion, no one is surprised......
On the other hand, if Iverson is not the champion, it may cause some waves on the scene!
"Congratulations, Lee, for teaching a champion!"
"It's amazing!"
Cary Perry, who is also from the NCAA, gave Richard a thumbs up and praised.
Richard smiled and nodded, and there was a wave of pride in his heart!
Lao Tzu's disciple is the champion!
……
Iverson walked out of the little green room and stood at the front desk to shake Stern's hand!
Looking at the height that is not much taller than Stern, wearing a decent gray suit, the whole person looks a little inexplicably melancholy......
There was a thumb-thick gold medal necklace hanging from his chest, which didn't match his gray suit.
The reporters at the scene were a little puzzled, wearing a suit with a hip-hop gold medal?! This outfit is really a bit offbeat......
After shaking hands, Iverson grabbed the gold medal on his chest and kissed it, which made the reporters even more confused.
However, the reporters' doubts were quickly answered.
"Aaron, does the gold medal on your chest mean anything special to you? I think you seem to care about this gold medal? Especially on a day like today, you actually show it with you......"
After Iverson stepped down, he was interviewed by ESPN reporters.
"Of course, this gold medal is very special to me, he is a symbol of my status, it is my glory!"
"Remind me all the time that I have to work hard, I can't disgrace them!"
Journalists are interested, can't disgrace them?! Which of them ......
"By they mean your mother and sisters?"
"No, it's my coach, and my Silafayette brothers!"
It dawned on the reporter that he suddenly remembered the story of the West Lafayette gangs circulating in the NCAA......
"Allen, man, can you please take a closer look at your gold medal, I think a lot of fans must be interested in this gold medal......" The reporter reached out to touch the gold medal around Iverson's neck.
But Iverson grabbed the reporter's hand.
"Dude, that's not going to work!"
"This is my glory, how can I touch it casually!"
The reporter was a little embarrassed, but then Stern returned to the stage, the second pick was about to be announced, and the live camera shifted to Stern.
"I'm announcing that the Toronto Raptors selected Marcus Camby from the University of Massachusetts with the second pick in the first round!"
Richard was stunned, Camby turned out to be the University of Massachusetts? This Kari Perry is not simple......
"Hey......" Kali Perry sighed, he was naturally very uncomfortable to see his proud disciple being chosen by the Raptors!
He once thought about using the No. 8 pick in his hand to trade with the Raptors in exchange for the Raptors' No. 2 pick, but the Raptors were unwilling to die, which made Cary Perry desperate......
"Excuse me, man, I'm much worse than you, I have four disciples in the draft this year, but I don't know how many ...... I can recruit yet" Richard smiled and comforted.
Listening to Richard's words, Carry Perry felt a little more comfortable......
In terms of misery, Richard is definitely worse than him......
"I announce that the Vancouver Grizzlies have selected Sharif Abdul Raheem from Purdue University with the third pick in the first round!"
As soon as Stern finished the announcement, Richard smiled bitterly and said to Cary Perry, "You see, two of my four disciples have been chosen......
When Raheem came to power, he was dressed exactly like Iverson, in a gray suit and a thumb-thick gold medal necklace around his neck!
After shaking hands with Stern, Raheem also kissed his gold medal!
The move sparked some buzz around Iverson and Raheem's gold medals.
……
"I declare, Minnesota Timberwolves...... Ray Allen! ”
"I announce, Milwaukee Bucks...... Stephen Marbury! ”
After the fourth and fifth picks were announced, Richard was overjoyed, and there was no deviation between the draft pick and his memory......
After the draft, the Timberwolves and Bucks will definitely jointly announce that Ray Allen and Marbury will swap owners.
This swap can't say who suffers and who earns......
At least for now, the Timberwolves are more inclined to absorb a rookie point guard.
"Lee, don't you tell me your list? The top five picks are over! Carry Perry urged, and he couldn't understand why Richard was so patient......
"No hurry, man!" Richard said with a smile.
Richard is really not in a hurry, and it is not too late to wait until the results of the seventh pick come out to give the list to Carry Perry......
Historically, the trade between the Lakers and the Hornets regarding Kobe Bryant was handed over to the Hornets management in the first five minutes.
"I declare, Boston Celtics...... Antoine Walker! ”
"I declare, Los Angeles Clippers...... Lorenzen Wright! ”
The top seven picks are exactly the same as Richard's memory, but Richard knows that his little butterfly is about to start flapping its wings!
It took less than five seconds for Richard to write the name of the player he wanted to pick and give it to Cary Perry!
When Cari Perry opened it, he was shocked!
"Lee, are you sure you're not kidding?!"
"You want to choose him?! A high school student guard?! ”
The list given by Richard really surprised Carry Perry, and he predicted that Richard would definitely use the No. 8 pick to select Brad Miller!
Not only Kari Perry, but everyone who knows that the Trail Blazers got the No. 8 pick thinks so!
But the player on the list is obviously not Brad Miller!
Richard's heart began to pound, and after the list was given to Carry Perry, he never calmed down for a moment!
"That's probably why I insisted on going to the NBA!" Richard thought to himself.
