Chapter 297 - 00 Draft Conference (1)
At night in the forest, when you look up, you can see the sky full of stars, but when you look down, you can see mosquitoes scurrying all over the sky.
Ursiris spent a week in Vancouver under the hospitality of Mike Beebe, and spent the last three days wandering the forest with a shotgun, shooting a few rabbit pheasants and holding a lost grizzly bear.
On June 13, he returned to New York for a tryout at Madison Garden, home of the Knicks. Ursiris was tired for three days in a row, and fought several battles with Marcus Camby, Alan Houston, and Stephen Marbury.
In the NCAA playoffs, Ushi has won a whole bunch of diamond prizes.
Since the second round of the playoffs, Usiris has been secretly using the goldfinger trade area to influence the outcome of the game, and has also secretly bet on legal football through the Hilton sisters.
$5 million, opened bets in multiple casinos, 15 of which were won by betting, swept more than $116 million.
In the NBA2000 system, this huge sum of money was converted into a reward of 11,000 diamonds for normal business income by default.
Now, diamonds are just a number for Ussi. He had vaguely guessed that this was a loophole in the system, and sooner or later it would be plugged, but now it doesn't matter so much, let's take it one step at a time!
After March Madness ended, Uzi purchased a mild healing potion that healed the injury to his right hand, guaranteeing 20 diamonds of permanent damage.
From the second round of the playoffs to the finals, Ushi successively gave Iverson, Alstom, Mutombo, and Barkley a ball skill, and the guarantee money was permanently damaged by 40 diamonds.
The maximum amount of the guarantee: 428 diamonds, now updated to 368 diamonds.
There are still 47 diamonds short of the 179 diamonds that were dropped, so there are still 4 transfer transactions.
In addition, the miracle of 110 million US dollars, almost a hundred gambles and wins, finally attracted the attention of the bosses behind the casino. Recently, the Hilton sisters have hinted to Ussy that someone is looking for trouble for themselves.
Usilis knew this, and after communicating with Old Mark, he tried to hide at home as much as possible, and went out with two personal bodyguards.
Open a casino, and don't let people win money, this reason, it doesn't make sense anywhere!
If you want to play black, who is afraid of whom!
As for how to deal with old Mark, Ussi didn't care, and two days later, the text message on his mobile phone showed that 50 million US dollars were withdrawn from the investment company. Rules, if you win or lose too much in the casino, you can return half of it at most, forget it, don't come to the door to find fault in the future!
Since the end of the lotto draw, there has been a lot of speculation about the trading of the first three lotto draws.
The mystery of the champion is unstoppable!
The Clippers and Grizzlies are full of hope for the arrival of Usilis, and naturally they will not let go, no matter what the conditions, they will not listen to them, and they will be in a posture of eating scales.
The Knicks will have to face not only the entanglement of other teams, but also the threat and hint of officials at NBA headquarters.
James Dolan didn't take this mystery seriously, but now after being coerced by David Stern in turn, he suddenly realized the problem.
Don't?! Don't?!
Nets, hehe, this unjust boss must be lucky!
Back then, in order to rob Patri Ewing to the Knicks, James Dolan paid a lot of commercial costs, and it turned out that the choice was right, Ewing joined the Knicks, although he did not bring a championship, but Madison Garden, which has been full every day for more than ten years, still made a lot of money for himself.
Now, I have to gamble again, and I must not let that red-eyed guy of the Nets jump off the wall in a hurry!
At the same time, Mark Frederick also began to contact the owners of the Nets and discussed some business partnerships.
The smell of champagne in Philadelphia hasn't yet dissipated, and while Iverson and Barkley are still spending their days drinking, the long-awaited draft has finally arrived.
On June 29, the 00-01 season draft was held at Madison Garden as scheduled, and the new season player trade began at the same time.
NBA headquarters officials, 29 team bosses, presidents, vice presidents, general managers, head coaches, and key players, draft players and their families, media from many regions around the world, and fans from all over the United States filled the entire arena.
Click, click,
In the little green house, Usilis, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Fetzel, Chris Mime, Darius Miles and others waited anxiously and excitedly.
Mark Frederick, the Hilton sisters, Catherine, and Xiao Qian sat together, waiting for the final result.
John Thompson Jr. and Reg Essric, as well as his teammates from the Marvel Team, arrived.
The time to witness the miracle is coming!
On the makeshift platform, the accountant who supervised the lottery took out the three sealed envelopes from the special safe with a serious face, and NBA officials checked the signature seal on the spot to make sure that no one had tampered with the envelope and it was absolutely valid.
David Stern smiled, first opened the champion signing envelope, pulled out a card with the NBA team logo, and after glancing at it, his face suddenly turned pale.
There was a buzz of discussion in the stadium.
Representatives of the 28 NBA teams unanimously set their sights on the general manager of the Nets.
The general manager of the Nets turned pale, his back was in cold sweat, and he shouted in his heart, it must not be the Nets, it must not be the Nets!
This is probably the only team that is afraid of winning the first prize.
If the No. 1 pick falls to the Clippers or the Grizzlies, David Stern can accept it; Only the Nets can't, because this sign has been traded to the Knicks, and if a Knick who has reached the Eastern Conference Finals fills in another Usyris, how will others live?!
David Stern gave the poor guy a deep look, coughed, and said, "Congratulations to the New Jersey Nets for winning the first pick!" Please! ”
In the stadium, there was an uproar.
NBA Vice President Ross Grannick hurriedly walked over, glanced at the LOGO, his face changed and changed, and then he said calmly: "Congratulations to the New Jersey Nets for winning the lottery with a 4.4% probability!" Please! ”
David-Stern's eyes flickered, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what to think, but anyone could tell that he was angry!
The Clippers and Grizzlies lamented at the same time that they could only turn on Plan B.
The general manager of the Nets seemed to have suddenly grown old, staggered onto the high platform, took the microphone, closed his eyes, and shouted in pain and unwillingness: "The Nets chose Ursiris Frederick from Georgetown University in Washington!" (To be continued.) )
