(The process of the NBA pick-up lottery has changed slightly)

The Boston Celtics ended their playoff season on their home turf, the subject of the nation's major media on the second day, and it was fair to say that the team that lost the game received more attention than the Grizzlies who won.

So far, there are not many teams and coaches who can beat Coach Z in the NBA playoffs, the last time was three years ago, when Vicky also defeated Zhuang Feihe in the division finals to win the first championship in Spurs history, and since then Coach Z has never lost in the playoffs.

Although Coach Z left the Timberwolves for the immature Boston this time, many people have been able to predict that the undefeated coach in the playoffs is expected to suffer defeat in his first season, if Coach Z can really lead the Boston Celtics to win the championship in the first year, then the person who has always been called the wonder coach is no longer a miracle but should be called a god directly.

Therefore, Coach Z's loss is reasonable, but this reasonable loss still caused a huge sensation, except for some New York media, most of the American media gave Coach Z a high score in the first season of the Celtics, it is obvious that Zhuang Fei's first season is amazing enough, whether it is 67-15 in the regular season to win the second in the regular season or lead the team to the division finals in the playoffs, and even Zhuang Fei's results are not faulty.

"When Coach Z left Minnesota, I remember a lot of people were not optimistic about his next stop, and we all knew that. Coach Z of the Timberwolves reached the peak of his NBA career, he created a team that was called the strongest team in the NBA for 10 years, but in the end he left that team, and I still remember when Coach Z left, many people were saying that the legendary coach would go downhill, and the miracle of the Timberwolves could not be replicated, and the Timberwolves players would be difficult to replicate. In particular, the Chinese coach's next stop is the Celtics, the former king of the army, and the current fish belly team. It can even be said that the Celtics at that time were worse than the Timberwolves before Coach Z came, and the Timberwolves were a Western Conference playoff team before Coach Z came, although they did not make it through the first round, but their foundation was not bad. And what about the Boston Celtics? It's the fourth-to-last team in the league, they haven't made the playoffs for a long time before Coach Z arrived, and even the two cores of their team are in the midst of endless civil strife, no one on such a team would believe that Coach Z can lead them to success so quickly, and so do the most loyal Coach Z fans."

"But it turns out that Coach Z brought this team to life in his first season, which was almost rotten to the bone, and this season the team that was the belly of the fish last season was in the first place in the East for a long time, and this team's record in the regular season is even better than the record when the Celtics created a dynasty team, which is a miracle, and it is also impossible to complete but it is really a miracle that Coach Z has completed. After the team's regular season, the team made the playoffs as the second team, whether it was a sweep of the Cavaliers in the first round or a sweep of the Wizards in the second round, this team showed their energy, this is a team full of energy and unlimited future. We can see a lot of hope in this team, and we will always believe that this team can bring us more in the future, even after they lost 2-4 to the Grizzlies in the Eastern Conference semifinals, I think this team is not failing, they are just building up energy to prepare for the next impact. ”…,

"The Celtic have been successful this year and I don't think it's been a long time since they've seen the team have so many happy moments in one season. I think they should have been looking forward to it for a long time, of course, the Celtics have succeeded, Coach Z has naturally succeeded, this year he has once again created a strong team for the league, and at the same time he has also brought a lot to basketball, such as the No. 5 tactic in the All-Star period, I think this is the reason why he can always succeed in different places, when many famous coaches are holding a tactic and a system to live for a lifetime, the head coach of the Celtics is constantly trying and looking for new ways out, And every time he makes a new discovery, it's clear that he's the one who excites people when he was at Celtic."

"I'm looking forward to the start of the new season now, I'm curious to see if Coach Z will bring some other surprises to this team, I know that this season's division finals are definitely not the pinnacle of Coach Z's ability to lead this team, he can bring this team a long-awaited championship, I'm sure a lot of people think so after this season."

As Zhuang Fei's mouthpiece media, USA Today used 16 pages on the second day after Zhuang Fei ended his playoff journey to report everything about Zhuang Fei in the Boston Celtics this year, the most authoritative basketball media in the United States can now be said to have become Zhuang Fei's special newspaper, in just one year, the good deeds specially counted that the United States today has opened a total of 6 special topics for Zhuang Fei, which is the person with the most special topics in this media in a year, and the second most is the new US President George W. Bush. There are only three topics on the American president in the United States today.

Many times the mouthpiece of Zhuang Fei's media guides the direction of the entire American basketball public opinion to a certain extent, after this media opened a special topic for Zhuang Fei, soon other newspapers also reprinted it, which made Zhuang Fei and his Celtics extremely hot again, even the players who have been put on leave by Zhuang Fei have been blocked after leaving the team.

The big public opinion in the United States is praising Zhuang Fei's achievements, which represents the voice of the majority, and in Boston and Massachusetts, such voices are even brighter, Celtics fans are not only satisfied with Zhuang Fei's performance this year, but also with the performance of the players, so there will be the sixth game between the Boston Celtics and the Vancouver Grizzlies The fans stood up to see off the Celtics players and coaches. Obviously, for them, the Celtics who have just started on the road this year have found their own way, as long as they follow this path, there will be good results, and the current Boston Celtics fans are also extremely supportive of their team, so the day after the game, thousands of fans deliberately ran to the team training hall to put up various banners to express their feelings.

Now the whole of Boston is excited, even if they just lost, of course. At this time, Zhuang Fei was not excited, although he got a lot of things in this series, such as the team's boss Maddie finally broke through the shackles in this round of the series and became an A+ player in one fell swoop. The small forward's breakthrough came in the second half of the team's sixth game, and the small forward staged a battle with Carter after the promotion, but finally failed because there was still a gap in ability.

Although for Zhuang Fei, if Maddy can advance earlier, the team may not play so painfully. Even the team can't be found back by the Wizards in the second round of Yao Ming's fatal flaws, if Yao Ming's shortcomings are not found, then this season's championship is really unpredictable, it can be said that the Celtics have made a lot of mistakes this year, especially in terms of players, but Zhuang Fei is still very satisfied with the performance of these players, mistakes are inevitable for young people, and now it is up to these people to see if they can make themselves stronger in the summer. …,

Zhuang Fei has already disbanded the team after the game against the Grizzlies, and the next summer is the time for these players themselves, and Yao Ming, who has been extremely depressed in this year's playoffs, will return to the Chinese team with regrets. This year is the year of the World Championships, and the Boston Celtics have a lot of players participating in the World Championships, in addition to Yao Ming, Oku is also, in addition to these two international players, there are also the team's Xiao Ao and James Posey who need to represent the United States team in the World Championships. The team's Maddie refused to participate in the World Championships, in fact, for many players who participated in the Olympic Games in 2000, they all refused the World Championships, and in the 2000 Olympic Games list, only Ray Allen decided to play for the United States again, which is also because Ray Allen and George Carr are partners of the Bucks, and the mentor-apprentice friendship between the two is also excellent, which also makes Ray Allen the biggest player in this World Championships. However, even if many famous superstars did not participate in this World Championships, from the perspective of public opinion, the American team is still the strongest, especially after Zhuang Fei's god-level performance two years ago, and now the international basketball world is still shrouded by Zhuang Fei's performance two years ago.

Now the Celtics players are on vacation, summer training is summer training, and those who go to the national team will go to the national team, and Zhuang Fei also left Boston for New Jersey soon, as the team's chairman and general manager, he needs to participate in this year's NBA draft picks lottery ceremony.

This year, the Celtics have three first-round picks, but none of these three picks are in the lottery area, so he doesn't need to go to the lottery just to watch the ceremony, this year's three first-round picks of the Celtics are the Celtics' own No. 28 pick, one is the Spurs' No. 23 pick, and the other is the Trail Blazers' No. 16 pick, these two draft picks from the Spurs and the Trail Blazers one was obtained by the trade of Kirilenko and Eric Williams, and the other was obtained by the trade of Anthony Walker.

Although there is no need to draw lots on stage, it is also a very interesting thing for Zhuang Fei to participate in this draft lottery, there are two draft-related items in the inventory of his dynasty system, one is a lucky glove and the other is a bad luck glove, at present, the lucky glove is not used, but the bad luck glove can be used, but in this draft year, Zhuang Fei has no intention of pit people, even if he can pit people, it is not miserable

"Mike, don't be so nervous, I bet you won't be able to get the top three this year"

At the scene of the 2002 New Jersey draft draw, Zhuang Fei, D'Antoni and the general manager of the Timberwolves, McHale, and the Raptors boss Mobley and others who represented the Raptors draw this time also got together and laughed, in fact, when Zhuang Fei came to the scene, he found that the general managers of many teams did not come, which is also because there are only 13 teams at most who can draw lots. In the history of the NBA, many times the people who come to the stage to draw the lottery generally have a chance to get the top three or so in the first six, if the top six have no way to draw the top list and Tanhua, it means that this 'dark box operation' is very powerful or the team's luck is very bad, and this time the Wizards represented by D'Antoni have a chance to get the seventh lottery from the Suns, and there is basically nothing to do with them under normal circumstances.

But even so, the atmosphere of the scene is also a little funny for Zhuang Fei, here he really saw a very remarkable scene, the whole scene is like a casino, especially those lottery area front team managers or representatives are now praying to God, at this time they are like a devout believer looking forward to God's gift, for many people the future of the team is determined by the dozen or so table tennis balls in the box, It's just that when most people pray sincerely, a person's performance is particularly speechless, the general manager of the Knicks, Xiao Daolan, is now looking at Zhuang Fei with a swaggering look, it is obvious that this guy is laughing at Zhuang Fei for not having the opportunity to draw lots on stage, seeing this scene Zhuang Fei is also laughing in his heart, this rich second generation really thinks that he will be able to get the champion lot, Zhuang Fei glanced at Xiao Daolan and looked at Francis, who represented the rocket lottery not far away, in Zhuang Fei's impression, This year's champion should be the Rockets, and the Rockets used the champion to pick Yao Ming, but this year's Rockets are the sixth lottery, and the chance of winning the champion is actually not much bigger than D'Antony.

When David Stern finished his opening remarks, the 2002 Draft Lottery began to determine the fate of the 2002 Draft.

And when watching the representatives of these thirteen teams select all the table tennis numbers that represent the fate of their teams, Zhuang Fei also looked at the feeling of a little heartbeat below, and after the end of this draw, Zhuang Fei obviously felt that the expressions of the thirteen representatives were also different, D'Antoni was nervous, McHale was fine, and Xiao Daolan was grinning, obviously he was very confident in the results that were about to be announced. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
