Chapter 199: The Lottery Ceremony

Horgess opened up and saw that Henry had something to look for him but couldn't get through to him, and seeing that he had just updated the Titter, he used the Titter to contact him and ask him to turn on the phone and answer the phone. Hoggist turned on the phone, Henry's call came in instantly, Hoggist answered the phone, Henry scolded his face, "You kid won the NCAA championship and started playing big names, right?" It's been turned off for so long, and no one can contact you! Also, what kind of pheasant brokerage company did you sign for? I've never heard of it, so be careful not to get caught! ”

Hoggist replied helplessly: "Last night, hundreds of calls and text messages from various agents poured into my mobile phone, and the screen flashed endlessly, if I don't turn off the phone, I won't be able to sleep?" Also, the pheasant agency you mentioned was opened by my fiancée! ”

Henry was taken aback on the other end of the phone, "I didn't expect you to be a genius in business, and you actually opened your own brokerage company!" Have you already won all the outstanding players in your team? Haha, there are still a lot of agents who have a good relationship with me before who want to have a relationship with you through me! I didn't expect you to become their direct competitor! ”

"I didn't mean to, it's just that my brother has been determined to be my agent since high school, and he's been working hard to achieve this! I can't chill my brother's heart, can I? I can only say sorry to the other agents, but what are you looking for me? Old man Greg has new instructions? ”

"Right...... That's what I'm going to tell you, you have to understand, the old man also wants to change to the champion lot, but we really don't have any chips in our hands! Even if Kehuai is not for sale, but to be honest, we can't even trade Kehuai if we want to, because Kehuai's contract expires this season, and we have no salary space now, but we can't do anything about you! Henry's tone was full of bitterness.

Hoggist pondered for a long time, and also felt very regretful, "Then I can only wait until the rookie contract is over before I go, alas, my fate has become confusing again!" I have only one wish, and that is not to let the Knicks draw the No. 1 pick! Otherwise, I'd rather go to China to play in the league! ”

"Why do you hate the Knicks so much?" Henry asked curiously, after all, he had also worked at the Knicks, and he didn't know when the Knicks offended Hougist so badly.

"Of course I don't like the team that has tricked my brother Jeremy Lin and my idol Marbury!" Hougist said.

"When did your idol become Stephen?" Henry asked, puzzled.

"Stephen is now a city hero in Beijing, and my fiancée is from Beijing, so you know!" Hoggist explained.

"Haha, there is still such a layer of fate, but now the Knicks are the team with the fewest wins, and of course the team with the highest probability of getting the top pick, if you don't want to go, you have to pray to God!" Henry quipped.

"It's not that the probability is high that you will definitely be able to draw the champion! Since 2004, the top pick has not ended up in the hands of the team with the worst record, and this year is probably no exception! Hoggist comforted himself.

"To put it this way, the Timberwolves are now 16 wins, the Knicks are now 15 wins, and I don't know who will have the last laugh!" Henry deliberately raised the bar with Hoogist.

Hoggist said angrily, "Can you talk?" I know everything you said, I still have something to do, hang up! ”

After speaking, Hoggist hung up the phone decisively, stopped arguing with Henry, and drove straight to the apartment nest of the two with Qiu Jingli, lingering all night, and relieved the pain of lovesickness.

A week later, Okafor called, and he decided to join Haugist's agency after thinking twice, so that Joseph had already signed four prospective rookie players, and although he could earn a large commission in July, he had to arrange tryouts for four players of different strength at the same time, which was also a huge workload.

In Hougist's "pre-trial cram school," Turner and Okafor had a healthy rivalry. The strength of the two is also improving. When the NBA regular season ended, the Timberwolves had the worst record in the league with 16 wins and 66 losses, the Knicks were second from bottom with 17 wins and 65 losses, and the 76ers were third from bottom with 18 wins and 64 losses, while the Lakers' inexplicable three-game winning streak after the All-Star break led to their 21-61 record and ranked fourth from the bottom.

As time went on, more and more players announced their participation in the draft, and as of April 26, Towns, Winslow, Stanley, Hollis Jefferson and others had all announced their decisions to participate in the draft. In mid-May, the league held a physical test and joint tryout for the rookies.

Hoggist got his wish and measured 6 feet 9 inches (206 centimeters) with his shoes on, which is exactly the height of a striker. Horgist, on the other hand, has an arm span of 7 feet 7 inches (231 cm), which is already an exaggerated size, but it is only as long as Leonard, and his hand is a little smaller than Leonard's. It only relied on its height advantage to reach a height of 9 feet 4 inches (284 cm) on its feet. The vertical jump is even 39 inches (99 centimeters), which is not as high as LaVine, who always shows off his new dunk moves, but it is already a high exaggeration in his height range.

Of course, Hoggist's exaggerated figure has also caused many teams to question, can he still control the ball at such a height? Will he be cut into a dog against those 6-foot point guards? And in the subsequent sprints, switchback runs, dribble runs and other tests, Hoggist's top results completely dispelled everyone's concerns, what else is there to doubt? Isn't this the next ruler of the NBA?

Of course, the physical fitness of Turner and Okafor is also undoubted, except for Turner's slightly slower speed, the physical data of the two are also very outstanding, only Rashad Vaughn's physical data is a little worse. However, he was not originally a player who fed on his body.

After a physical test and a joint trial, the four bottom-ranked teams were very satisfied with Hoogist's fitness and ability, and now everything is ready for them.

The east wind soon blows, and on the day of G1 of the Western Conference Finals, the draft draw ceremony was held at the same time at the Balek Center in Brooklyn, New York, the home of the Nets.

Although Haugist is an atheist, at this critical moment of life, he still prayed in pieces, "God bless, Buddha bless, Allah bless, all the gods bless, don't let Nix draw the champion!" ”

"Wow, you begged so many immortals at the same time, will they deliberately punish you for not being single-minded, and let the Knicks draw the top pick?" Qiu Jingli teased on the side.

"Immortals can't be so naughty, right?" Hoggist asked with some hesitation.

When the owner of the Timberwolves opened the lottery, Hoggist was very nervous, and he wanted the Timberwolves to draw the first pick to put his mind at ease earlier, but on the other hand, he wanted to go to the Lakers to play with his compatriot Jeremy Lin.

The owner of the TV Timberwolves team sank after seeing the table tennis balls with numbers written on them appear one by one, and Hougist also chuckled in his heart, it seems that the Timberwolves did not draw the champion!

Sure enough, the number combination on the ping-pong ball shaken by the owner of the Timberwolves was the second pick. Then the next biggest chance is the Knicks! At this time, 10,000 alpacas galloped past in Haojist's heart, could it really be that all the gods and goddesses united to play him?

Knicks President Phil. Jackson's heart blossomed at this point, and in the final stages of the regular season, the team won two more games like they had taken the wrong medicine, going from 15 wins from the bottom of the league to the second from 17 wins, and giving the extra 5% chance to the Timberwolves, who were eager to peel off his old subordinate Fisher. But I didn't expect to make people, since 04 years for the 11th consecutive year the champion lottery has not been drawn by the team with the worst record, it seems that it is really providential to get the champion sign!

The smug Phil stood on the draw table and pulled the handle very carefully, and when the ping-pong balls in the ball pool fell one by one, Hoggist's heart also hung in his throat.

"No, no, no, don't ......," Haugist thought as he stared at the TV.

Phil. Jackson was very happy, the numbers of the last two balls were the range of the champion draw, but when the first two ping-pong balls fell in turn, the smile on Phil's face froze, and this expression was even more ugly than eating a fly. But this expression made Hougist feel relieved, "Haha, he definitely didn't draw the champion lot!" Otherwise, it can't be this expression! ”

Hougist guessed right, and Phil's luck was even worse than Hoggist thought! The number combination of these four table tennis balls is not even the top three, and the number 4 lottery he drew was actually drawn!

Phil at the moment. Jackson's heart is dripping blood, why can't I make the playoffs with Anthony and Stoudemire? What am I putting up with humiliation for? Is it just for this No. 4 lot?

Phil Jackson stood on the draw table for a long time and was reluctant to leave, and finally walked down the stairs in despair under the urging of the audience, and almost fell down on the last step, which caused the audience to laugh.

The Knicks' failure to draw the No. 1 pick made Hougist completely relaxed, and he even wondered if all the gods had responded to my prayers, and as a result, he used too much force to scare the Knicks to fourth? But it doesn't matter who draws the champion lottery now, the 76ers will draw me to brush up on the data for four years, and the Lakers will follow Kobe and Shuhao to work hard for the championship!

Hoggist unloaded his psychological burden and actually began to hand Qiu Jingli next to him, just when he naughtily unbuttoned Qiu Jingli's bra back button through the T-shirt, Sam. Xinki's expression when he saw the signing was not so pleasant, and the sound from the TV made Hougist stop what he was doing, and the 7 people drew the No. 3 lot!

Could it be that the gods from all walks of life are so powerful, and under my sincere inspiration, they directly assigned the champion to the Lakers?

Lakers' new president Magic. Johnson walked on the lottery table with confident steps, he couldn't believe that the Lakers' luck was so against the sky, the first three did not draw the champion, so the probability of winning the lottery is very high, this has happened in the past, but this year is too different, this year's quasi-champion strength is too strong, he is no less than O'Neal, Duncan, Jordan, and himself for a team to improve, I didn't expect that before Kobe Bryant retired, the Lakers would be equivalent to completing the rise again!

Standing in front of the ball pool, the magician took a deep breath, he couldn't get too carried away, it would be embarrassing if he didn't draw, Phil is a lesson, if he doesn't draw, he will definitely be more embarrassed than Phil!

The magician hesitated for a long time, and put his hand on the joystick several times without pulling it down. God, give me a sign! Perhaps God heard his call, and when the magician hesitated again, he somehow did not control it, and pulled the joystick with a slippery hand.

Oh no! I'm not ready yet! The magician almost screamed, his heart contracted sharply, and then suddenly released, as the ping-pong ball in the machine began to beat rapidly. The ping-pong balls fall from back to front, and each number is within the range of the champion draw, but it is not until the last ball falls that the magician dares to be sure, yes, it is the champion draw!

God must have pulled the stick for me! God really showed me a miracle today! The magician was excited, but he couldn't help but be greedy, O dear God! Now that you have mercy on me, can I make one more small request? Can I make my son a normal person?

God will not meet Elwin. Johnson's second request is unknown, but the Lakers' pick did become the biggest news of the day, and after the Magic stepped down, he gave Jeremy Lin a contract extension promise and sent him as a representative of the Lakers to Vegas to accompany Hoggist until the draft to prevent other teams from playing tricks.

And Hoggist left Qiu Jingli, who was aroused by desire, and picked up his mobile phone to contact Joseph. This pair of "Chinese brothers" really have a heart, Hougist just picked up the phone, Joseph's phone also called, Hougist answered the phone, Joseph excitedly reported: "Boss, just now Hall of Fame player, the great magic Johnson called me personally!" He asks when you have time, and the Lakers' tryouts are booked according to your schedule. ”

"So polite? You tell him I'm free at any time, and you can discuss the specific time yourself! You are an agent, you can take full responsibility for these things, you don't need to ask me for anything! Hougist thought about it and instructed Joseph one thing, "You declare on the Titter that I will only participate in the Lakers' tryouts and let other teams die as soon as possible." ”

The Lakers' No. 1 pick saved Joseph a lot of trouble, and Hougist was also received by Jeremy Lin, and Joseph's main focus was on Turner, Okafor and Vaughn.

Turner and Okafor are considered first-class players by experts, and Vaughn's quotes on major draft prediction sites are outside the lottery zone, so Joseph arranged for Turner and Okafor to participate in the tryout of the top four teams in the lottery together, while Vaughn was scheduled to participate in the joint tryout of the Bucks Wizards, Celtics, Hawks, and four teams.
