Vancouver is Canada's third-largest city and largest port after Toronto and Montreal, the largest city in British Columbia and the largest city in Western Canada. It has a developed film production industry here, and is the third largest production center in North America after Los Angeles and New York, and is known as the Hollywood of the North.

On June 24, 1998, the NBA Draft was held in this Canadian city.

Knicks President Xia Cuirong was pregnant and could not attend the scene in person, and the special plane was Knicks Vice President KC Jones, General Manager Dennis Johnson, head coach and player Li Wei, and Xie Siqi who followed Li Wei to Vancouver to play.

Originally, Li Wei wanted to take Sylvia with him, but Sylvia was sad because she lost her kitten and refused to go out, so she stayed at home to accompany Dinah.

"Dad, do you feel like my aunt has changed these days?" Xie Siqi asked.

"Is there one? Where has changed? ”

Xie Siqi said: "She has been smiling cutely recently, talking very loudly, and she likes to knock on your head, I haven't seen her knock on your head before." ”

Li Wei said curiously: "Then what did she do before?" ”

Xie Siqi said: "In the past, when she was in front of you, I felt a little afraid of you, but now, it seems that you are a little afraid of her." ”

Li Wei laughed and said: "Haha, that's right, your aunt will be scared to death when she stares at me, I'm afraid of her now!" ”

After getting off the plane, Li Wei took Xie Siqi to play for most of the day, and came to the draft meeting at six o'clock in the evening.

This year's No. 1 pick belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers, and everyone is craning their necks as they wait for them to pick up the talented Mike Bibby of the University of Arizona Wildcats!

Barring no surprises, Bibby will be the second playmaker to be named the top pick, after Magic Johnson and Allen Iverson!

However, the unexpected happened.

As we all know, the owner of the Clippers is the most slashing owner in the entire NBA, and it is harder to take out an extra penny from his pocket than to climb to the sky, so Bibby's agent David Falke has a deep conflict with him.

Falck threatens Clippers management not to let them choose Bibby!

One must want to ask, how can David Falke, as an agent, interfere with the Clippers draft?

How could the Clippers listen to him?

That's really wrong, the Clippers really have to be under his command.

In the 90s, there was a popular saying that the NBA belonged to two Davids. These two Davids, one is NBA commissioner David Stern, and the other is David Falck.

It is said that one-sixth of the players in the league in this era belong to David Falck, and we have no way of verifying whether this ratio is true or not, but there are a total of 24 All-Stars in the East and West of the All-Star Game, of which 16 belong to Falke, such as Jordan, Ewing, Mourning, Stockton, Mutombo, etc., which are familiar to fans in later generations.

The reason why the NBA has the biggest shutdown in history in 98 is that in addition to the tough attitude of Billy Hunter, the chairman of the players' union, another highlight is the two Davids pinching!

David Falck is quite good, and bluntly said that your NBA does not agree to my request, then I will take my players to form other leagues, and we may not be worse than your NBA.

And the NBA doesn't have these stars under me, I don't believe you can still play!

The so-called extreme must be the opposite, David Falke's arrogant attitude offended all the owners of the NBA, so after the 21st century, with the retirement of Jordan and others, the most powerful agent in the history of the NBA has gradually declined.

Now, David Falker is God, he didn't let the Clippers choose Bibby, the Clippers weighed for a long time, and finally didn't dare to choose!

"In 1998, the first pick in the NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Michael Olowokandi from the University of the Pacific!"

After David Stern read the name of the champion, Olovo Kandi immediately stood up from the little green house, radiant!

All the rookies looked at him with envy as the big man from Nigeria, known as Olajuwon's successor, stepped up to the front desk and shook hands with David Stern!

A new page has been opened in the league, and the most chaotic draft in history is destined to go down in history forever with the arrival of Olovo Kandi!

At the moment, Grizzlies general manager Stu Jackson has sweat on his hands.

"I'll it, the Clippers actually selected Olovo Kandi, and Bibby fell!"

The Grizzlies now have two interior lines, super center Levi and strong forward Raheem, and they are only missing the outside, so they are not interested in this draft's favorites Olovokandi and Lafrentz.

Because Bibby was able to win the top prize, they gave Paul Pierce the University of Kansas double star signing promise!

Now that Bibby has fallen from the sky, Stu Jackson can't care about the original promise, and immediately chooses Mike Bibe!

"With the second pick, the Vancouver Grizzlies chose Mike Bibby from the University of Arizona!" David Stern Dao.

The Vancouver fans cheered in unison, never expecting to select Mike Bibby. This is really not the champion sign, Yu Sheng won the champion sign!

The Denver Nuggets, the owner of the No. 3 pick, were the team that put the most effort into the mess last season. Although the teams in the West are shameless in order to make themselves bad, the Nuggets have ripped off all the flesh and bones on their faces!

71 losses in a single season, only 11 wins, anyone has to sigh to themselves!

You must know his opponent, but he also didn't even win 20 wins to the Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies and other teams!

Although the Nuggets put on a new bad team record, their luck was not good enough, and they only won the lottery. They thought they could get Olajuwon's successor, but now that they have the successor, they can only choose another big man with great potential - Reeve Lafrentz in the University of Kansas double star!

Lafrenz is indeed a genius, with a height of 2.11 meters, a tough defense, and a fierce block, and is the patron saint of Kanda's interior. What's more, this big boy shoots very accurately, and his range is far beyond the three-point line!

can be inside and outside, can attack and defend, who doesn't like such an inside line?

The Nuggets chose Lafrentz, and the Raptors were entangled!

They also want to choose Lafrenz to replace Camby, and train this product to become a superstar!

As the saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and the NBA draft is the same. What you want, always doesn't fall into your bowl!

"Since the person I love has been robbed, then I will choose someone who others love!"

Raptors general manager Grunwald gritted his teeth and stamped his foot to select Antoine Jamieson of the University of North Carolina!

"Falk oil!"

Hearing David Stern read Jamison's name, Warriors general manager Gary Stern burst into foul language on the spot!

This is a truncated beard!

He immediately called Grunwald and said, "What do you mean? Do you really want Jamison or robbery? ”

Grunwald leisurely spat out two words: "Robbery!" ”

Gary Ste Jean's face darkened: "Bargain! Let me tell you, our Warriors have no rice to cook, if you want a high price, you can keep Jamison for yourself! ”
