Any kind of sports competition, even if it emphasizes unity, friendship and mutual assistance, is essentially the law of the jungle, although the contrast between strength and weakness is not absolute, but as long as there is an opportunity, BA is of course no exception, the entire league is surging all the time, and silent wars happen everywhere, such as the draft site.

Every team's general manager will always release countless smoke bombs before the draft to hide their thoughts well, especially for those general managers whose draft picks are not enough to guarantee a selection target, and the news of truth and falsehood will come out of their offices every day. For example, if you want to choose a player who is predicted to be at the bottom of the lotto section, but only have a regular first-round pick, then the team will release negative news that affects the player's draft prospects to ensure that they can get it.

When it comes to the best draft operation in NBA history, it was "Cardinal" Auerbach who brought both Parrish and McHale to the team in 1980. The Celtics, who had drafted Bird the previous year, had the No. 1 pick and the No. 13 pick, but Auerbach was not satisfied with that. The Celtics are interested in McHale, and the Knicks, who have the No. 12 pick, are also aiming for McHale. If McHale were to be picked with the top pick, the No. 13 pick would be wasted.

So before the draft began, the Celtics made a shocking trade with the Warriors. The Celtics traded the No. 1 pick and the No. 13 pick from the Warriors for the year's scout pick and Auerbach's long-time favorite center "Chief" Parish, and then used the scout pick to select McHale. The combination of Bird, McHale and Parish has become a major team in the NBA, and the Celtics have become a strong team to rival the "ShoTime" Lakers, winning three NBA championships during that time.

King also took this draft very seriously, and he also traded the No. 15 pick in the first round for the team, and was ready to select the power forward he fancied, Moiso. However, Moiso was placed in the lottery in the draft predictions of the authoritative website, which made Kim lament, and it was clear that his workload was going to increase further.

Kim is already familiar with this situation, and his method is simple, which is to hype up a few players in the same position behind Moiso, hoping to deliberately choose his team in advance to look away, so that Moiso's ranking will inevitably slip. Of course, this is only a small ploy for other teams that are hell-bent on selecting him and have a higher draft pick, unless the rumors are rife that have taken the player's picks down more than a notch.

The general manager of each team will pick and choose their preferred target, but at the same time they will continue to work on Plan B or even CDEFG, after all, you can never guarantee that your target will not be cut off by others. This time, the 76ers' first target with the 15th pick is Kim's Moiso, and the secondary target is Mason proposed by Chang Wei through Brown. As for the 40th pick in the second round, few teams will be bent on finding a treasure in this rank, so Kim only pulled Reid in.

Although Reed's performance was relatively average when he came to Philadelphia for a tryout, no one had any special hopes for the No. 40 pick, and Brown felt that there was nothing wrong with using the No. 40 pick to draft a player like Reed, and Kim would not be extraneous either, anyway, now he is fully focused on the No. 15 pick, just waiting for the draft to begin.

This year's draft was held at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is also home to the Timberwolves. Instead of following King, Brown and other members of the coaching staff and management to Minneapolis, Chang chose to tune in to his room to watch the live stream. No way, in the face of the worst draft in NBA history, he really can't arouse the interest of being on the spot, and it will be similar to 2002 or 2003.

The Nets used the No. 1 pick to pick Kenyon Martin, a violent power forward from the University of Cincinnati, although this guy followed Carter and Kidd to the Finals in the future, Chang Wei still thinks this is a brainless muscle man. However, there are really no outstanding rookies in this class, even if the authoritative media later rearranged the rookies in the class of 2000, Martin also remained firmly in the top three, and for the Nets who lack an inside line, Martin should be their best choice.

Then the Grizzlies chose Swift from Louisiana, a jumping man who had partnered with Yao Ming in his previous life, although his physical fitness was very strong, but unfortunately the ball quotient was too low. The Clippers followed suit with small forward Darius Myers, and the fourth-pick Bulls chose Fetzel, a decision that made Chang Wei shake his head in front of the TV, and it seems that Jordan left with the Bulls' management's IQ taken away, and this player is useless.

The draft continued, with Mike Miller being drafted by the Magic with the fifth pick, Chris Meem being drafted by the Bulls with the seventh pick, the Cavaliers selecting Crawford, the super sixth man from his previous life, with the eighth pick, and Purzbilla, a big center familiar to Chang Wei, joining the Rockets with the ninth pick. Kim's luck is very bad, although he has been building momentum for other rookies and wants to take Moiso, but the Celtics preemptively picked this power forward away with the 11th pick, and he had no choice but to choose Plan B Mason at the 15th pick, which happened to Chang Wei's intention, Mason is better than Moiso no matter what, right?

The 30 rookies in the first round were quickly selected, except for a small accident from the 76ers, the selection of other teams was no different from the draft conference in Chang Wei's memory. However, Chang Wei knows that the real influence on the general trend of the league is still to come, and if the 76ers choose Reed, then the Bucks that will become a powerhouse in the East in the future will no longer exist.

In the second round of the show, there was no treatment for Stern to personally open the envelope and read his name, and the top of the league who appeared was replaced by Xiao Hua, Stern's heir in the future. But Chang Wei didn't care about this, he just wanted to know if he could successfully kidnap Reed to Philadelphia with the No. 40 pick. When Xiao Hua opened the envelope and said slowly, "In the 2000 draft, the 40th pick in the second round, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Michael Reed from Ohio State University", he shook his fist fiercely and shouted, "Yes!" ”

Although Kim will be a little disappointed, Chang Wei doesn't want to pay attention to the general manager's feelings, anyway, the draft has achieved its goal and helped the team draft two rookie players, Mason and Reed. With a few more role players, the rejuvenated 76ers can get back on the road.
