Nowitzki didn't come to the draft, but was at home in Germany, so he didn't have a chance to put the Knicks on his head and shake hands with league president David Stern.

The host briefly introduced the 7-foot-long man from the German second division, so the Vancouver fans in the audience were collectively stunned.

Germany is not a basketball powerhouse in the first place, and Nowitzki can't even play in Germany's first division, how can the Knicks use such a high pick to select a guy in the second division?

Unlike the fans who talk nonsense, the box where the Boston Celtics are located, the team's president, a generation of famous coaches, Rick Pitino, sighed deeply.

Nowitzki's participation in the draft was secretly instigated by him, and he not only promised to use the No. 10 pick to draft the other party, but also made Nowitzki announce to the public that he would not join the NBA immediately!

Overseas players, Germany, the second division, not joining the NBA immediately, all these factors are mixed together, making the media generally look down on this guy!

In addition, after the trial of Nowitzki, Rick Pitino also spread rumors that Nowitzki's ability is clumsy and embarrassing!

However, he used this trick once.

Before last year's draft, he said that his proud disciple Ron Mercer did not listen to discipline and was a problem player, and many teams really believed it. When Mercer fell all the way to sixth in the ordinary, Rick Pitino chose him away, and everyone understood that he had been fooled!

The same trick was used twice against Saint Seiya, and the second time it was ineffective. So as soon as Rick Pitino's remarks about Novitzki came out, the NBA Saints understood that he had a crush on this German kid!

Rick Pitino didn't panic, he firmly believed that even if the management of other teams guessed his idea, they would not dare to bet on the top 10 signings!

Then again, it's useless for him to panic, the Celtics, who are deep in the quagmire, have no chips to trade forward for the draft pick, so they can only hold on to the No. 10 pick and wait for Nowitzki to fall!

However, the heavens are not beautiful, Nowitzki was intercepted by the Knicks, who have the No. 8 pick!

"Chris, call the Knicks and ask about the possibility of trading Dirk!" Rick Pitino said.

Chris Wallace was the Heat's head of scouting, and Rick Pitino had too much work to do with the Celtics, so he poached him as the team's general manager, and he became the team's president and head coach.

Therefore, the power of Chris Wallace, the general manager, is similar to that of Dennis Johnson of the Knicks, Billy King of the 76ers and others, usually only providing advice and advice, and the president and coach in front of the team is still in charge!

If Pitino is just depressed, the box where the Mavericks are located, old Nelson is simply thunderous!

"Smack!"

A delicate coffee cup was thrown to the ground, and the coffee spilled on the little Nelson next to him!

Nowitzki was actually intercepted and killed, or was intercepted by the Knicks, how is this possible!

They obviously didn't even send scouts to investigate Nowitzki!

At this time, the Bucks' phone called: "Donnie, it's our turn to choose, who do you want to choose hurry up." ”

"Pick a fart, my people have been intercepted and killed!" Old Nelson slammed the phone in a huff.

The Bucks didn't expect Nelson Sr. to have such a bad attitude and called again. This time it was Nelson Jr., Nelson's son, who picked up the phone.

Nelson Jr.'s full name is Don Nelson, the same name as his father, Nelson Sr.

It is disrespectful in China that father and son have the same name, but it is common in the United States, for example, this year's top show Mike Bibby named his son Mike Bibie.

"My father's mood is very unstable, you guys can watch the draft yourself, we may trade with the Knicks with a big tractor, please forgive me!" Nelson Jr. Road.

Bucks management burst into tears.

Having said that you chose the big tractor to trade with us, how can you say that it will change?

Cooked duck just flies?

"Please hurry up and make your choice!" NBA staff whispered.

Several Bucks executives looked at each other. The draft is broadcast live across the United States, and if you can't make a selection within the allotted time, you'll be considered an automatic forfeiture. But on the Mavericks' side, not to mention who to choose, what should they do?

George Carr, a generation of famous coaches, immediately found a new job after being fired by the SuperSonics, that is, the coach of the Bucks!

At this moment, he sat on the side, frowned and said, "I'm not optimistic about the rest of the insiders at all, none of them are malleable!" ”

Mike Woodson, the team's assistant coach, said: "So let's pick an outside lineman? The best of the rest should be Paul Pierce and Larry Hughes. ”

Paul Pearce, one of the University of Kansas doubles, small forward, junior year, averaged 20.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

Larry Hughes, a genius at Saint Louis University and a two-way guard known as Big Iverson, just entered his freshman year this year and has averaged 20.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, no worse than Pierce, a junior.

George Carr said: "Of the two, Pierce is more well-rounded, but Larry Hughes has more potential. He's only a freshman, and Pierce averaged just 11.9 points per game in his freshman year. ”

Bucks general manager Bob Winhall said: "It didn't help us to pick the perimeter, we still had to find a way to make a deal with the Mavericks. The Mavericks already have a small forward Michael Finley, who averages 20 points per game, and if we pick another small forward Pierce, they will certainly not trade the big tractor again. ”

George Carr shrugged and said, "Then you decide, you're the general manager." ”

Wenhauer picked up his pen and wrote down Larry Hughes of Saint Louis University in a smug manner, then handed it to the staff.

"With the ninth pick, the Milwaukee Bucks chose Larry Hughes from St. Louis University!"

Larry Hughes was stunned when he heard that he had been drafted by the Bucks. That team already has three star-level outside linemen, what do you choose him for?

Hughes's side, another member of the Little Green House, was pale.

He is the genius Paul Pierce, and before the draft, he personally received the promise of the Grizzlies general manager to sign the list, and the major media also thought that he would be selected by the first three picks!

However, Pierce is still very modest, even if he knows that he is the leader, he still deigns to go to several teams, as for the Warriors who have the No. 5 pick, the signing is too low, and he really doesn't want to waste time.

But now, the Grizzlies didn't choose him, and other teams didn't choose either, they all came in with the ninth pick, and there was still no one to choose!

Are everyone blind?

The Bucks chose Larry Hughes in order to complete the trade with the Mavericks, but in the Mavericks' box, Nelson Sr. had no intention of making the trade as agreed.

He believes that the Knicks' interception of Nowitzki is eighty percent because they reached an agreement with a certain team. For example, the Celtics heard about him swapping a sign with the Bucks, and they were afraid that he would get Nowitzki, so they traded forward.

On the Knicks' side, the beloved big tractor is gone, and if it is traded, it will be traded.

It's not too late to make amends, and he still has a chance to get Nowitzki again!

After sorting out his mood, Nelson Sr. made a phone call to the Knicks: "Hey, Dennis, I remember you want a big tractor?" ”

Dennis Johnson was surprised: "Yes, but we won't trade Garnett!" ”

Nelson Sr. said: "Well, let's talk about it, no need for Garnett, you pack Nowitzki and Nash selected by the No. 9 pick for me, and send me a first-round pick, and I can give you the big tractor!" ”

Dennis Johnson's eyes lit up: "David, the Mavericks agreed to a trade, as long as we package Nowitzki and Nash to him and send him a first-round pick, the big tractor will be ours!" ”

Li Wei couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.

This old Nelson is too slippery, too. The first time he asked for a trade, the chips he asked for were Garnett and Nash, and today Nowitzki was robbed, and he continued to play wishful thinking!

Give Nowitzki, Nash, and give you another draft pick?

Why don't you go to heaven?

It took him a long time before he stopped laughing and said loudly: "You tell him that Nowitzki and Nash are, will be, and always will be, not for sale by the Knicks, and we will never talk about their deals!" ”

Dennis Johnson was surprised: "Are you serious? They agreed to trade the big tractor! ”

Li Wei said: "Haha, we don't want them if they agree, you just say so, this is what President Xia meant!" ”
