Chapter 635: Smoke Bomb (1/3)

The draft draw was over quickly, and the main stage was already filled with media reporters, experts and commentators, as well as some NBA insiders, and Qiao Hai even saw David Falke.

In this draft, David Falker, at the suggestion of Qiao Hai, signed four players, Deron Williams, Danny Granger, and high school players Monta Ellis and Andrew Bynum, David Falke also made a move on Chris Paul, but he was one step slower and was preempted by Leon Rose.

Even so, it has to be said that after Qiao Hai joined David Falck's agency, he helped David Falke sign a number of All-Star level players or players with All-Star potential, including Michael Reed of the Bobcats, Josh Smith, El Jefferson of the Celtics, and Dwyane Wade, the number one player in David Falke's current hands!

After Michael Jordan and Patrick Ewing retired, David Falck's rapidly declining agent career was also saved by Qiao Hai.

……

When Joe, Robert Johnson, and Billy Knight stepped onto the main stage, there was a cacophony of reporters, experts, and commentators watching the expressions of everyone on stage.

"Look, the smile on Billy Knight's face can't be hidden."

"And Robert Johnson, who seems to be in a good mood."

"Michael Millis (Bucks lottery representative) has a black face......"

“……”

Until the scene, people under the stage could only make some guesses, and the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV was even more in the dark, and no one knew whether the Eagles got the champion sign, the Bobcats' Knicks sign, and the ranking was geometric.

Stud Jackson stood directly in the center of the stage, and the representatives of the 14 signings also took their seats.

Then, Stu Jackson picked up the microphone and announced: "The 2005 NBA Draft Lottery Ceremony is now officially begins!" ”

"The team with the 14th pick in the first round is the Minnesota Timberwolves!"

The Timberwolves' lottery representative, Kevin Garnett, clapped his hands and applauded, showing a very calm performance, a 14th pick, not worth his excitement.

"The team that got the thirteenth pick in the first round is Charlotte Bobcat!"

The Bobcats' Cavaliers pick came as no surprise, and they ended up earning the 13th pick.

However, Marvie Albert on the commentary bench mentioned Qiao Hai's remarks in a previous interview: "Before the draft draw began, Doris Burke interviewed Qiao Hai on the red carpet, and he said that Kobe Bryant is only a 13th overall rookie. ”

"So he mean, he's going to use this pick to pick another Kobe?"

Then, there was a wild laugh in the commentary seat.

The 12th pick in the first round was obtained by the Bulls, the 11th pick in the first round went to the Clippers, the Nuggets got the 10th pick in the first round, the Celtics were the 9th pick in the first round, the Warriors were eighth, the Heat was seventh, the Jazz were sixth, and the Bucks were fifth.

Finally, there are the Hornets, the fourth pick in the first round!

The media reporters in the audience immediately began to look for who was missing, and soon, they found that among the thirteen picks from the fourth to the fourteenth pick, there were no Bobcats, no Eagles, and no Pioneers!

So, the top three picks are about to come out, Bobcats, Eagles and Trailblazers, the only question is, who is the champion, who is the leader, and who is Tanhua!

"There is no doubt about the Eagles, they have the worst record, the Trail Blazers and the Bobcats counterattacked, one ranked fourth, and the other ranked sixth, and they both made it into the top three!"

"The Hornets and Bucks were so unlucky, the worst record, but they didn't get the best signing."

"Bobcats' luck turned against the sky, they made it to the division semifinals, and they were able to get the top three picks!"

“……”

Joe Hay was quickly invited to the center of the stage, and standing on either side of him was the Eagles' lottery representative Billy Knight, and the other was the Trail Blazers' lottery representative Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen.

Stu Jackson pulled out three draft cards and pulled out the first one, which said a big 3, meaning that this was the third pick in the first round.

There was applause at the scene, and Qiao Hai also clapped his hands.

Then, the host announced: "The third pick in the first round of the 2005 draft is the Portland Trail Blazers!" ”

At the same time, Stu Jackson handed the No. 3 draft pick to Paul Allen, who held up the No. 3 draft pick in the air, and then, the audience burst into applause.

"The Trail Blazers got the third pick in the first round, so who will be the top pick if the Bobcats and Hawks are in the top two?"

The No. 1 and No. 2 draft picks, Stu Jackson picked up at the same time.

Then, one was handed to Joe Hai and the other to Billy Knight!

"The Charlotte Bobcats got the second pick in the first round! And the Atlanta Eagles are the winners! They got the first pick in the first round! ”

The host announced the final result, and the scene was immediately boiling.

"The Eagles have made a mess, they've got the No. 1 pick, and they're going to pick a cornerstone player, is it Andrew Boggart from Australia, or Marvin Williams from North Carolina University, or Chris Paul from Wake Forest? Let's wait and see! ”

"Bobcat surprisingly got the list of eye signs, and now, Qiao Hai can use this list of eye signs to do something special."

……

After the lottery ceremony, when Qiao Hai left the Ritz-Carlton, he accepted questions from several reporters at the entrance of the hotel, and Kevin Pritchard and Sam Cinki were also standing beside him.

"Joe, who will you choose with this pick?"

Qiao Hai stopped and replied with a smile: "We haven't decided who to choose yet, but we already have a lot of goals. ”

"Can you tell me who they are?"

Qiao Hai nodded: "Of course, we have many selection targets, for example, Andrew Boggart, a brilliant big man, his template is Vlad Divac, and Marvin Williams, who is a tall version of the athletic enhanced version of Glen Rice, they are all good choices." ”

"Don't think about Chris Paul?"

Qiao Hai tilted his head: "We have Carlos Arroyo and Mo Williams, why should we consider point guards?" ”

After answering the last question, Qiao Hai waved his hand and left.

However, Kevin Pritchard and Sam Singki behind him were already completely shocked.

Getting into the car, Sam Singki couldn't wait to ask, "Aren't we considering Chris Paul?" ”

Kevin Pritchard slapped Sam Chinki directly: "Fool, that's a smoke bomb!" ”

……

On the other side, Billinay, who had drawn the champion lot, was deliberately angry, and he stood at the door of the hotel and knocked on his crutches.

"I had a leg injury, so I put on crutches, and this crutch is my lucky thing, it helped us draw the champion lot!"

"Who will we choose? Andrew Boggart would be a good option, but we already have Emeka Okafor, so we'll also be thinking about whether the two of them can coexist. ”

"If not, we'd consider Marvin Williams, he's a young striker with a lot of potential!"
