Chapter 332: This Genius Is the Champion?

Xie Siqi's website is purely blindly following the trend, and seeing that Sylvia is doing it, she also has a game herself.

It is said that this website was made by her pocket money to invite an alumnus of their girls' school, and now she is a graduate student at Cornell University, the interface is very simple, and Xie Siqi doesn't know how to program at all, but only knows how to upload articles.

"What are you asking me to do for you?" Li Wei asked.

Xie Siqi pointed to the screen and said, "The draft prediction I wrote, you can see if there is a problem!" ”

Two days ago, the NBA's lottery draw ended, and the defending champion Chicago Bulls, who lost Jordan, Pippen, Rodman and others, have a record of 13 wins and 37 losses this year, and are in the bottom of the East.

However, from the perspective of the entire league, the Bulls' results are not bad enough, and in the West, Raheem, who has just signed a contract with the highest salary, led the Grizzlies to a 8-42 record with the assistance of Mike Bibby, the superstar, ranking first in the league.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the Grizzlies, their super center Levi is reimbursed for the season, and although Raheem is a genius on the offensive end, his back and frame are good, but unfortunately he lacks strength and has no sense of presence on the defensive end.

However, even if they are bound to be a lottery, it is still a bit surprising that Mike Bibby, who is considered to be the number one superstar in terms of power, still won the bottom number one after the arrival.

Grizzlies coach Brian Hill, who led the Magic to the Finals, is now the coach with the highest demand for fire.

Win or lose, the NBA is so realistic.

What's even more surprising is that the Grizzlies, who have last year's list, are the penultimate with last year's top pick, but they are second to last with a record of 9 wins and 41 losses!

The Chicago Bulls are rotten like this, they are still not as good as the two in the West, and they can only rank third from the bottom of the league!

In the draft draw, the third-to-last Bulls exploded and won the top pick, while the league's bottom-to-last Grizzlies won the spot.

Another team with a character breakout is the Hornets.

After acquiring Eddie Jones and Eldon Campbell, the Hornets played very well in the second half of the season, finishing ninth in the East with a 26-24 record, just one win away from the 27-win Knicks. It's a pity that the difference between one game is a world of difference, and now the Knicks are playing the Eastern Conference Finals in full swing, but they are fishing at home.

As we all know, the worse the record, the higher the probability of winning the first three draws, and conversely, the better the record, the lower the probability of winning the first three draws.

No one thought that the Hornets with the best record in the lottery area would actually win the lottery with a very low probability!

"Dad, if we hadn't made the playoffs and become ninth in the East, then the Hornets would have been ours, and the Hornets were so lucky!" Xie Siqi sighed.

Li Wei chuckled: "How do I feel that it is not bad to reach the Eastern Conference Finals?" ”

Xie Siqi thought for a while and said: "This is also true, this year is a small year for the draft, there is no strong inside line, and the Tanhua lottery may not be able to select good players." It would be nice if Odom could get the No. 3 pick. ”

Li Wei smiled lightly.

From the perspective of the previous life, there are nine All-Star players in this year, and no matter what standard you judge, you can't call it "small", but public opinion thinks that this is a small year.

"Little year? So what pick do you think Odom should be? ”

Xie Siqi said: "Of course Odom is the champion!" ”

Like Artest, this year's No. 1 show favourite, Ramal Odom, is also a New Yorker, born in Queens, and has considerable influence in the New York area.

In high school, Odom was named to Parade magazine's No. 1 team in the nation in '96 and '97, and was named to USA Today's No. 1 team.

In '97, Odom had planned to go straight to the NBA draft as a high school student, and if he did, Maddy's pick was estimated to drop by one place. Eventually, however, he changed his mind and gave up the draft to join the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

That summer, something interesting happened.

In an operation to sweep up a gang that sells ten prostitutes, Las Vegas found that Odom was actually soliciting customers for that gang!

Poor Odom received a summons from the court, and the American media also made an uproar because of it, who would have thought that a genius high school student would actually start a promising part-time job like "Turtle Ten Gong"?

Then, something even more unfortunate happened.

The NCAA found that Odom received $5,400 in sponsorship. The U.S. Collegiate League only allowed students to take scholarships and was not allowed to collect money privately, so UNLV University was heavily fined, the university's coach Bill Benoy was fired, and Odom himself had to leave UNLV and transfer to the University of Rhode Island.

Odom was not an official student at the University of Rhode Island and was not eligible to play for the school's basketball team due to his midway admission. A year later, in the 98-99 season, Odom was finally able to play in the NCAA league, averaging 17.6 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.

Although Odom's draft is not good because of scandals, but in this recognized "small year" of the draft, there is no long-awaited champion like Tim Duncan, and the talented Odom is still the favorite for the top pick.

"Dad, do you think Odom will be the next Magic Johnson?" Xie Siqi asked.

Li Weidao: "It's difficult, there is only one magician, and not everyone can be the next him." ”

Xie Siqi said: "Look at my analysis! ”

Li Wei glanced at Xie Siqi's draft prediction and couldn't help laughing.

No. 1 pick: Lamar Odom, No. 6 pick: Corey Margetty, No. 4 pick: Byron Davis, No. 5 pick: Elton Brand, No. 6 pick Wally Szczebiak......

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Siqi's eyes widened.

"Nothing." Li Wei put his hand on Xie Siqi's shoulder, in fact, her prediction was not outrageous, at least the choice of the 6th pick was completely consistent with her previous life.

"I don't think Odom will be the champion, and Margeti will not be the leader."

Xie Siqi said: "Huh? Your prediction is a bit outrageous, but I'm referring to the rankings listed by the NBA Draft! ”

As she spoke, the girl opened a website.

This website called NBA Draft Network is also relatively authoritative in the fan circle, and Li Wei found after comparing it that Xie Siqi was written by referring to others, and it was clearly copied completely!

"Siqi, your ranking is exactly the same as others!"

Xie Siqi raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't even make me even have a different rank from what others predicted, right?" Then everyone will think I'm talking nonsense! Don't look at our order, but I have written a lot of my own analysis below, which cannot be regarded as a complete copy! ”

"Okay, you can do whatever you want!" Li Wei shook his head.

"Dad, you can help me analyze it and see if it's reasonable!" Xie Siqi pulled Li Wei to sit on the sofa in front of the computer, and the two huddled together.

Li Wei stretched out his hand to hug Xie Siqi, anyway, who is the champion and who is the leader, it has nothing to do with the Knicks, and he doesn't mind talking.

Pointing to the rankings, he said, "Elton Brand will be the top pick this year!" ”

Xie Siqi said in surprise: "Brand? How can it be? This guy is completely center-forward, but he is only 2.03 meters tall, Odom is half a head taller than him, such a short interior line can kill all sides in college, but in the NBA, he can't mix at all, how blind does the Bulls have to be to choose him? ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Li Wei was choked and coughed, Xie Siqi's statement is actually the opinion of many experts, "It's not for nothing that a small man is famous, Barkley is only 1.98 meters!" In terms of strength, Brand can adapt to the NBA. ”

Xie Siqi widened his eyes and said: "Even if some small men can adapt to the NBA, they may not necessarily include him, in short, the probability of this person falling out of the water is very high, and it is not impossible to draw the top pick at all!" ”
