After David Stern made a long opening statement, he took a note and slowly opened it, and the atmosphere in the whole venue instantly became tense, and the onlookers were curious about the 76ers' selection, and those players who were expected to be the top pick were even more nervous.
"In the first round in 1996, the Philadelphia 76ers chose Allen Iverson, a point guard from Georgetown University!" When David Stern called out his last name, a small man in the crowd stood up excitedly and hugged his mother excitedly.
The whole stadium was cheering, and even Iverson's opponents stood up and applauded Iverson. In the entire venue, perhaps only Jonny sat calmly in his place, motionless. Jonny knew that it was impossible for the Spurs to trade the first few draft picks to pick him, even the first round picks, so Jonny could only sit bored in his place and wait for the second round of the draft to begin.
Not far from Jonny's seat, Jonny's old enemy, Kerry Kitels, stood there, looked at Jonny, and whispered, "What a megalomaniac! ”
Jonny didn't care about the first little man to be selected, and he didn't take Kerry Kittels' words to heart, but the name Iverson felt a little familiar, and it seemed that he would be a star player in the future, but he thought in his heart: this little man is too short, and he looks very easy to deal with.
Then, David Stern announced the selection of the Raptors with the second pick in the first round, they chose Marcus Camby, the big man Camby was also excited to stand up, then the Vancouver Grizzlies selected Sharif Abdul Rahim, the Midvorki Bucks selected Stephen Marbury, and the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Ray Allen, and then, they made a trade with the Bucks in exchange for Ray Allen.
Then, Michael Lyon-Carr, the general manager of the Boston Celtics, hesitated for a while, finally wrote the name of Anthony Walker, and then, he made up his mind to select Jonny Lee in the second round.
And one of Jonny's enemies, Kerry Kittels, was selected by the New Jersey Nets with the eighth pick in the first round, only to see him jump up from his seat excitedly, and then happily hugged his family and friends, and finally, he did not forget to show a smug smile to Jonny, and the meaning of the smile is self-evident.
Jonny pursed his lips, ignoring him and turning his head away.
But Kerry Kittels' friend Prest-Lauderdale didn't want to spare Jonny, and he sneered, "Haha, look at Kerry, he's already chosen, and look at some people, are you here to play?" ”
Jonny glared at Lauderdale, meaning you wait for me, in fact, Jonny can't deal with these proud guys now, he can't pounce on this annoying guy to fight, that's not what Jonny did, in fact, looking at Jonny's combat effectiveness now, it is estimated that he can't beat Lauderdale, a big man of 2.21 meters.
The thirteenth pick in the first round, when David Stern read out Kobe Bryant's name, Jonny finally reacted a little, as a pseudo-fan, to say that he is most familiar with the name Kobe Bryant in the NBA.
And when Jonny saw the appearance of this Kobe Bryant, his eyes widened and he was stunned: "Damn, it's actually this guy!" "Jonny recognized Kobe Bryant at a glance, this guy is actually that weird! Kobe Bryant is that weird!
"It's unbelievable, Kobe Bryant is actually a wonder!" Jonny muttered.
Soon, the first-round drafts passed one after another, and Jonny also dozed off, and there were more than a dozen players in a row, none of which he felt familiar with, and when David Stern called out the name of Derrick Fisher selected by the Lakers, Jonny finally heard the name of an acquaintance.
"Prester, it's your turn, hurry up and get ready!" At this time, Prest-Lauderdale's agent in front of Jonny reminded Lauderdale, and Lauderdale hurriedly sat down.
Jonny sat down in the back and let out a sneer.
Lauderdale heard this, and immediately turned his head to glare at Jonny, although he said with a smile: "Boy, I've already got the first-round promise from Atlanta, envy?" Haha, do you have the same treatment as me? ”
Lauderdale laughed, his disdain for Jonny was already evident, and he continued: "The Eagles have the 28th pick in the first round, and you're just waiting to see me."
Lauderdale's laughter didn't stop, and before he finished speaking, Jonny suddenly stood up, looked at the rostrum in a daze, and then roared, while Jimmy Adams was next to Jonny, jumping wildly and celebrating.
Lauderdale didn't know what was going on, he didn't speak, as if a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his mouth, and he looked at the rostrum in a daze, David Stern was looking here at this time, and soon, a staff member took a hat and put it on Jonny, with the magic logo printed on it.
"What's going on?" Lauderdale muttered.
"He was drafted by the Magic, the 27th pick in the first round." Lauderdale's agent replied in a whisper.
Jonny walked to the stage step by step, he still couldn't believe it, magic? Where did it come from?
It's not just Jonny who is thinking about this problem, Greg Vic is also thinking about it, he has prepared the overall 31st pick in the second round, and the result is that Jonny was robbed by 4 picks.
And Michael Leoncarr, who was also depressed, was in the Celtics' draft room **: "What's going on? What's going on? How could anyone take a fancy to him!? ”
In the Magic's draft room, Anfernee Hardaway raised his right hand and shouted, "yes!" John, great! ”
Beside him, Magic's general manager, John Gabriel, said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Anferne, I just hope this choice is the right one." ”
Jonny walked all the way to the stage and shook hands with David Stern, who by this time had already reacted and was selected by the Magic? Wouldn't that be better? After all, Jonny knows that the higher the draft pick, the higher the salary, and all this is thanks to the 94 rookie Glenn Robinson, who forced the Bucks to sign him to a 10-year, 6800w rookie contract, and as a result, the league introduced a rookie salary cap in the second season.
David Stern said a few words in Jonny's ear, Jonny didn't hear it, he just took the microphone, and then made a selection speech: "I'm very happy to be selected by the Orlando Magic, I thought I wouldn't have a chance to shake hands with Mr. David Stern, but there was an accident in the sky, I was very happy, I can finally shake hands with Mr. David Stern, and it is my dream to play for the Magic team."
The first few sentences were made up by Jonny, but the last few sentences were taught by Jimmy Adams, who memorized this passage for a whole day, and when he came back from Michael Leon Carl the day before, Jimmy Adams took a template for Jonny to memorize.
As soon as Jonny finished speaking, there was a huge applause in the venue, of course, if an upset like Jonny was selected, there would naturally be a cheer, but Jonny couldn't care about it anymore, he was very happy now, for these annoying guys, Jonny didn't want to pay attention to it.
