On June 10th, at the New Jersey Bainaohui Theater, the uniform groups of 30 teams gathered together, smiling and communicating with each other in a friendly manner, but behind the smiles were all interests.

Media reporters gathered in the audience, and on the stage was a huge lottery container, which was used to draw lots for the draft picks, and the order of the picks would soon be generated here.

In the draw ceremony of the draft, the host will take out 14 table tennis balls numbered 1-14 and put them in a lottery container, and with the rotation of the container, 4 balls will be drawn from the 14 balls at will, regardless of the order of numbers, such a draw can produce a total of 1001 possible combinations, and remove the 11-12-13-14 combination, there are exactly 1000 kinds left. Before the draw, teams in the league that did not qualify for the playoffs will be ranked in reverse order based on their regular season record, and each team will receive the number of combinations (probabilities) of winning the top pick. For example, in the 2007-2008 season, there were 14 teams that did not enter the final playoffs, and the Miami Heat, the worst of the 14 teams, will get 250 combinations, which means that the Heat will have a 25% chance of winning the top pick, and the SuperSonics, who have the second worst record, will get 199 combinations, which means that they will have a 19.9% chance of getting the top pick, and so on. The Denver Nuggets, the best of the 14 teams that didn't make the playoffs, have only five combinations, which means they only have a 0.5 percent chance of winning the No. 1 pick. When the No. 2 and No. 3 picks are drawn, the remaining No. 4 to No. 30 picks in the first round and the thirty picks in the second round will be determined in reverse order according to the final results of each team in the regular season.

At this time, the Bainaohui Theater has already been full of people, and the 2008 NBA Draft Pick Lottery Ceremony will be held here at 8 o'clock in the evening New York time, which is an important step for the teams that have been rotten to determine whether they have a bad swing, if the lottery is not good, then it means that their rotten will lose its meaning and ridicule the other uniform groups in the league and those experts and professors, so no one is looking forward to a good dribble, and they can't wait to invite God, And their fans are watching the final result of the draw, which is a chance for the team they support to take off.

When the time came to 7:40, the star performance ended, and David Brown, who played a decisive role in the development of the NBA. Stern slowly stepped up to the front stage amid the shouts of the DJ on the spot, and his gray hair was enough to show how hard he had put into the growth of this league.

As David Stern stood in front of the microphone, the applause was thunderous, everyone knew how much the old man on the stage had contributed to the development of the NBA, and everyone knew that without this old man, there would be no NBA influence today, it was he who promoted the development of the NBA, and the director of the imperial court TV station on the other side of the ocean said that in 1984, in order for the NBA to be promoted in China, officially the old man braved the snow and waited for several hours under the imperial court building to move them, so he deserves so much applause.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the New Jersey Bainaohui Theater, on behalf of the NBA, I would like to thank all the media reporters and players who came to the scene, the past 2007-2008 season was a perfect season, we will remember every player, every media, every management who gave us games in this season, and with the end of this season, we will have another new season, and there will be a group of young talents entering this league, The next draw for the clubs that appreciate these young talents will be the ones to come up with the draft picks, which I will announce below...... The 2008-2009 draft pick draw ceremony officially began. ”

As David Stern's words fell, the scene resounded with huge applause, and at this time the Miami Heat began to get nervous, because they didn't want to become a laughing stock for a bad show, and the first to play the lottery was the 14 Denver Nuggets who did not enter the playoffs with the best record, they have a 0.5% chance to get the top pick, in such a small and almost zero probability situation The Nuggets are not the Houston Rockets dare to have illusions, Anthony easily came to the stage and started the lottery container, And it turned out that such a near-zero miracle is not so easy to happen, and in the end, Anthony locked the last lottery for the Nuggets!

And next is the Golden State Warriors, the former gang almost reached the playoffs again this season but was strangled by the miracle of the Clippers, they almost entered the playoffs, and now it can only be the turn to draw the lottery, but the miracle of the champion did not befall the Golden State, they can only get the thirteenth pick, and the next few teams have not turned the possible miracle into reality, and unknowingly came to the eighth from the bottom of the regular season New Jersey Nets draw, And there have been several miracles of draft picks in this position in history!

Under the spotlight of Bainaohui, on the territory of the Nets, Devin Harris, the new core of the Nets, walked onto the stage under the watchful eye, and the spotlight hit the quasi-All-Star guard, Harris looked at the crowd gathered in the audience, smiled lightly, and measured his emotions, "This is New Jersey, so I hope God will give us home court advantage, of course, I hope my piety can impress God to guide me to bring good luck to my team!" ”

Harris said with a smile on his lips and full of confidence, but Harris's self-confidence was very uncomfortable in the eyes of the top six picks in the eyes of the uniform group, because the New Jersey had a miracle then it meant that some of them were pushed down, and the corners of the general managers of the top three teams were full of disdain.

"You want to have good luck, too? To hell with it! The general managers of the three teams all cursed Devin Harris in their hearts, Harris opened the lottery with confidence, watching the table tennis ball rotate in the container and slowly fall, the corners of the uniforms' mouths couldn't help but rise, because they saw Devin Harris's draw results, "Make you confident, s|b!" ”

Harris walked off the stage with a depressed attitude, apparently his piety did not impress the old man, his self-confidence did not bring an opportunity for the expectant New Jerseys, and with the Nets locking up the eighth pick, the Bulls, who were seventh from the bottom of the regular season, sent their hero Scottie Pippen to the court in the draw, as one of the founders of the Bulls dynasty, Pippen's historical status is undoubted, can Jordan complete the Bulls dynasty alone without him? Pippen said a few simple words to open the lottery container, and as the container kept turning, the hearts of Chicagoans followed suit.

Bang bang bang!

The ping-pong balls in the container fell one after another, and the general managers of the six remaining teams with the worst records off the field and their fans all opened their mouths and widened their eyes, and disappointment instantly filled their cheeks. Especially the Miami Heat, which was the first to be in the mess, the god operator Pat Riley sat down all of a sudden, and it seemed that he was a few years older in an instant.

Once again, Chicagoans have been favored by God! Magical luck, God in the Windy City, the great Scotty gives Chicagoans hope of recovery! Yu Jia, the studio of the imperial court station on the other side of the ocean, was excited, after all, such a draft miracle is what all non-participants are happy to see, and the suspense film is undoubtedly the best drama.

Pippen himself couldn't believe his luck, and Parsons, the general manager of the Bulls, immediately jumped on the stage and hugged the somewhat stunned Pippen and kissed him fiercely, and the flash flashed off the stage.

Miami, which is the most thoroughly rotten, has undoubtedly become the biggest loser, and the loss fills everyone's cheeks in Miami, followed by the Milwaukee Bucks, since the Bulls can create miracles, they also hope that they can have a good luck, and the draw is a great sign, with a wealth of ideas, the Bucks' star Mike Reed walked on stage, but the miracle is because its probability is too small, if it continues to happen, then it can't be called a miracle, The Bucks didn't get the best results they were hoping for, and no miracles happened again, and the Heat, who had the best chance of winning the lottery, finally got the chance to pick the spot.

The second-to-last Seattle SuperSonics finally got the scout sign, and compared with the extremely depressed Heat, the supersonic uniform team felt a little more comfort.

Finally, the 2008 lottery draft pick came out: the Bulls, who ranked seventh from the bottom in the regular season, were lucky to draw the top pick with a small probability of 4.3%, and the former champion Heat team, which was the first to the bottom, got the second pick, and the SuperSonics, who were about to move to Oklamaho to become the Thunder, drew the third pick, followed by the Memphis Grizzlies, Minnesota Timberwolves, Then there was the tragedy of the Knicks, who got the sixth pick, but unfortunately this pick was sent to the Lakers in a three-way trade for Lin Fei, then the Bucks, Nets, Bobcats, Pacers, Kings, Trail Blazers, Warriors, Nuggets.

With the release of the selected draft picks, each uniform group in the league began to move, and each of the uniform groups for their favorite players showed their own methods.

And the latest draft predictions were also released at the same time, the Bulls, who have the top picks, set their sights on Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley, and the Miami Heat is undoubtedly depressed, Beasley is what they have wanted for a long time, but once the Bulls choose Beasley, then for the Heat who have Flash Wade on the guard line, Rose is chicken ribs for them, and the various uniform groups are starting to move, rumors immediately spread, and the corresponding scouts have come out to show their talents!
