Madison Garden Plaza, a world-famous place, it is not only the home of the New York Knicks, but also the place where the NBA draft is held every year.

The '99 draft came a few days later than usual, but the quality of the players this year was no worse than the '98 draft, and there are many teams who want to add more strength to their teams in this year's draft.

And this year's attention is the Houston Rockets, this year's championship team, and they actually got this year's champion here.

It is undeniable that the Rockets have also paid a huge price for this, three main bench players, two first-round picks, after sending three players, they only got one interior bench player, and with the buyout contracts of three players, the Rockets paid a huge price for this estate signing.

And while some people can't see what the Rockets want to do, some people have already read the thoughts of Team Rocket and see that the Rockets are going to have a choice that shocks the world.

Before the draft begins, Paul? Allen appeared in front of Tiger wearing a red envelope, Tiger looked at this kid and shook his head very helplessly and said: "Paul, what kind of plane are you kidding, this is the scene of the NBA draft, not the scene of any fashion show you attend, the most here is a group of basketball players, not those models who look very tender." ”

Paul held a huge cigar, looked at Tiger, and said casually: "Okay, Tiger, I just came here to say hello to you, it's really not easy for you kid to get this champion this year, and in the end, even a player like Mutombo moved, you kid is really good." ”

Tiger smiled wryly as Paul sat down next to him and said, "yes, I'm a little broken. I regret getting this champion now. ”

Paul looked at Tiger with contempt, took a hard puff of his cigar and said, "You just pretend, what kind of loss-making business can you kid do, let's say, who is your kid targeting." ”

Tiger pursed his lips and said: "What do I tell you, I know that I can't hide anything from you, anyway, I am the champion sign, I am not afraid of your participation, what will happen if you say that a champion from China." ”

After listening to Tiger's words, the cigar on Paul's mouth had already fallen to the ground, and Paul's wide mouth could almost fit into a fist, and the look of the person with a shocked face made Tiger really cool to watch.

After a few seconds, Paul hurriedly picked up the cigar on the ground, closed his scary mouth, and whispered in Tiger's ear: "You kid is too good at calculating, you have the first Chinese player to land in the NBA, and the first champion player from China in the NBA, oh my God, the entire Chinese market will be crazy for your rockets." No, such a good deal can't be done by your team, 3 years later, Lao Tzu will offer an annual salary of 20 million, your Chinese boy must play in the Trailblazers, even if you take the money to smash him, I will smash him. ”

Tiger glanced at Paul calmly and said, "Do you think I'm going to be poor?" ”

Hearing this, Paul's flushed cheeks seemed to be directly doused with cold water, and he immediately came down to normal, and said with a long sigh: "You kid, it's a genius, I don't admire you kid now, what Bill, what Buffett, what Soros, you are a scum in front of you, when the Internet bubble burst this year, you kid made a lot of money, and now I don't know how many people hate you and hate the root of your teeth." ”

Tiger is still the same old look, and said very calmly: "That's why they are stupid, they are willing to send me money, who is to blame, if anyone is still so troublesome in the future, it is best to notify me in advance, or when I do it, I accidentally hurt someone, I am not responsible." ”

Paul looked at Tiger's appearance, shook his head helplessly, said nothing, got up and said goodbye and returned to the seat on the side of Pioneer and the draft, watching the draft meeting silently.

About a quarter of an hour later, the draft officially began, and when Stern took out the list of players selected by the Houston Rockets, Stern was very uneasy, because after the young rich man became the owner of the Houston Rockets, the Rockets burst out with great energy.

They overthrew Michael, the idol that the League had erected? Jordan, they only had 2 years to build a division of kings and swept the power alliance.

They have been the dominant players in the NBA for two years in a row, and the Rockets have deservedly become the new generation of icons in the power league under such circumstances.

I don't know what amazing thing they're going to do today.

Stern opened the Rockets' draft roster, and after being surprised for a moment, he read aloud: "No. 1, the Houston Rockets chose a center from the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club in China, Yao." ”

Everyone present was stunned, all the clubs were stunned, this is why, the Rockets picked a big man from China, a center, oh my God, what the hell happened to the Rockets.

For a time, both Rocket and Da Yao became the center of the world's media storm, a champion from China.

Even Da Yao, who was in China, was also surprised, this year, there were staff from the Houston Rockets who asked Da Yao to participate in this year's NBA draft, at the beginning Da Yao didn't want to participate, because he felt that he was not strong enough, but the Rocket's staff repeatedly invited, and in addition to the invitation of the director of the Houston Rockets Asia region, Da Yao finally agreed to participate in this year's draft, Da Yao himself also thought that even if he was selected, he was outside the top ten, and he couldn't participate in the NBA league right away, But what he never expected was that the Rockets actually got this year's champion pick, and also chose him to be the champion in the first round, all of which came so suddenly.

Tiger calmly listened to the discussion of everyone around him from the sidelines, and when Dawson spoke on behalf of Yao Ming and Rocket, Dawson simply said one sentence, that is: time will tell whether today's choice is right or wrong.

After saying that, he returned to his place, and the rocket accepted the discussion with others with a very calm expression.

While everyone was continuing to discuss the Rockets' draft, the league's draft continued.

After the Rockets made their choice, the Grizzlies, who were going to choose a guard in the second place, made adjustments again, and the Grizzlies chose Elton? Brand, so the Grizzlies already have terrifying strength on the inside, plus Isaiah, who was thrown to the Grizzlies by the Trail Blazers? Ryder, the Grizzlies seem to have some strong team roots, Rashid? Abdul, Osera? Harrington is adding a brand, and it seems that spring for the grizzlies is coming.

Charlotte, who finished third, chose Francis, and Francis, who originally thought she was going to cold Vancouver, was still very satisfied with Charlotte.

The Clippers got Davis early, which made them very excited.

The Torontonian people have found another helper for Carter, Odom, although this kid always likes to wander, but as long as he is serious, he is still very powerful.

The Timberwolves still chose Szebiak, and Bend's parallel trade was delayed.

Basically nothing has changed, Hamilton went to Washington, Cleveland chose Andre? Miller, did the Suns still pick Sean? Marion, the Eagles still chose Terry.

Cleveland changed in 11th place, and Bender was chosen, but he was chosen, and the man they chose was also a parallel trade.

SuperSonics chose Corey? Margety, Chicago elected Artest, Denver elected James? Posey made a good deal, and the Hawks, who got the Rockets' first-round rights, chose the future AK-47, and I wonder if he and the Bus's future interior combination can be one of the best interior combinations in the league.

And the Chicago Bulls, who got another first-round pick from the Rockets, chose another European player at the suggestion of the Rockets. Gilisek, I don't know if I'll be able to come right away, but it's up to the Chicagoans.

Looking at the upcoming second round of the draft, Tiger didn't know how to describe it in his heart, for a player like Ginobili, Tiger didn't know whether to choose it himself, or leave it to the Spurs, and after thinking for a long time, Tiger decided to take advantage of this cheap and not let the Spurs take advantage of it.

If you can't pick up cheap spurs every year, it's really invincible.

So, Tiger quietly gave a note to the Mavericks' head coach Nelson Sr., although the Rockets also wanted to win, but the last option in the second round made the Rockets really powerless.

After the old Nelson quietly received Tiger's note, he was stunned in his heart, and he reacted immediately, and immediately changed his name to Ginobili in his selection list.

Sure enough, Ginobili, who should have been selected by the Spurs in the penultimate place, appeared in the 36th place in the second round.

Such a choice made Spurs head coach Vic's face change at that time.

A player he had been in love with for a long time was robbed by the Mavericks.

However, many teams still do not realize that the most terrifying Texas Final Three in the future has been formed.

After the old Nelson finished selecting Ginobili, he read the information sent by the rocket, and after reading it, his heart was surging.

With such a person, in the company of the Mavericks with 2 excellent interior blue-collar workers, the Mavericks can definitely become one of the strongest teams in the right league.

The somewhat noisy '99 draft was over, and at the end of the draft, Nelson Sr. caught up with Tiger and thanked Tiger, and Nelson Sr. said, "Mr. Tiger, thank you so much." ”

Tiger smiled and said, "Old Mr. Nelson, you still call me Tiger, what is not Mr. Tiger." ”

Old Nelson also laughed, and said very angrily: "Okay, then I'll call you Tiger, and you can call him Don." ”

Tiger repeatedly, "Okay, okay." ”

The two chatted for a while, and old Nelson finally asked the question in his heart, and heard old Nelson say, "Tiger, why do you want to help our calves." ”

Tiger blinked a little mischievously and said, "How boring an alliance without opponents is, don't you say, Don." ”
