061: That year, the unexpected draft meeting (please order the first order!) )

Summer 1991, June 12.

Chicago's swarthy braised egg finally reached the top.

He stood on the podium and lifted the O'Brien Cup excitedly.

And his defeated man Drexler reluctantly walked into the players' tunnel.

He replaced the Magic in the original history and Jordan in the finals, but he still failed to prevent the advent of the Jordan dynasty.

Jordan, this is simply Drexler's dream demon for the rest of his life.

Drexler, who attended the University of Houston in college, is known as the best point guard in college basketball.

As a result, Drexler, who is known as the strongest quarterback with Olajuwon, lost to Jordan in the March Madness semifinals.

After entering the NBA, the two were the best scoring guards in the East and West, but Jordan overpowered Drexler in terms of honor and statistics.

Even in the dunk contest, Drexler has participated in three sessions with Jordan and won nothing.

And now, he was beaten 4-1 by Jordan's Bulls in the finals.

Drexler was stupid, and he felt like he was playing basketball for three things:

Lose to Jordan, lose to Jordan, or lose to Jordan!

Drexler was desperate, although he had said before the Finals began, "I would love to win a championship, but I'm not obsessed with it, and even without it it won't hurt my achievements." ”

Although Drexler famously said that "basketball itself is a kind of fun, it has nothing to do with winning or losing", he can be called the grandfather of happy basketball.

But it was useless to pretend that it didn't matter, and when he lost in the finals for two consecutive years, he was still very desperate.

thought that the piston had fallen, and he would finally be able to become emperor.

As a result, it was the person he last wanted to see became the king!

It can only be said that Drexler's hairstyle determined his defeat.

His hairline is moving back to the back of his head, and he is reluctant to shave his head.

How can you become stronger without being bald!

The result of this finals is to make a few happy and a few sad.

Drexler lost in the Finals for the second year in a row, which made Baylor very happy.

It was as if he saw hope.

Young man, work hard, and if it continues like this, sooner or later the throne of my king will be yours!

Xie Yin looked at Danzi holding up the O'Brien Cup on the TV, and felt that Drexler was a little cute.

Because......

And that's just the beginning of Jordan's era!

Drexler will have to be beaten more in the future.

In the original history, next year's Finals will be the Trail Blazers vs. Bulls.

So, Ah Slip, don't cry yet.

Otherwise, I'll have to cry again next year.

Baylor's record of three consecutive Asias, Drexler is already at his fingertips.

Before Jordan won three in a row, you had three consecutive runners-up!

With Drexler Zhuyu in front, Ajan's status in the runner-up world will be reduced a lot in the future.

Jordan won the championship, giving Chicago's No. 23 the final accolade.

At this time, he has become the first person in the alliance who deserves it.

And it is not a few steps away from the first place in history.

The Jordan era has officially begun, and Xie Yin is about to enter this era of gods.

The finals are over, and the draft is about to begin.

Xie Yin will soon enter the alliance and face that horrible and savage group of birds and beasts.

In the NCAA, Xie Yin met the most capable player, that is, Larry. Johnson.

And Larry. Johnson was not a top-ranked figure in the NBA, even in his peak years.

Xie Yin used to be playing in KTV as a mass seller, but now he is about to go to business, and he is facing batches of professional players.

If you don't have any strength, you really can't play.

The thing Xie Yin wants to know most now is which team he will be selected.

He also asks Falke almost every day, but Falke only says: "A lot of teams are interested in you right now. ”

This answer is so good, so good that Xie Yin didn't bother to ask.

Falke really didn't know which team would choose Xie Yin, and he negotiated the same terms with all the teams.

41 million for 7 years, 3 million starting salary in the first year, 95 summer player option.

These three rigid requirements must be met.

The Hornets were interested in Xie Yin, but Falk couldn't guarantee that they would definitely give up on Larry. Johnson chose Xie Yin.

Of course, even if the Hornets don't pick Xie Yin, Falke doesn't think it matters.

Don't look at the name of the draft pick, but the Hornets' market is too small.

In the 90s, there was no such thing as live webcasting.

If a player wants to be on camera, he has to rely on live TV footage.

Guess how many times a season the Hornets can go live? A: Yes, there may not be a chance.

In North Carolina, where the Hornets are located, the University of North Carolina is so hot that the Hornets are out of nowhere.

No one cares about a small team like the Hornets at all.

The Nets and Kings are relatively better.

After all, one of these two teams is close to the Big Apple and the other is based in California.

But the Nets and Kings' attitudes toward Xie Yin are also ambiguous.

On the Nets' side, Reed made it clear that Xie Yin's asking price was too high.

But Falck stressed more than once: "The Hornets have accepted the offer. ”

It's the equivalent of telling Reed that there's nothing to talk about in terms of price.

You don't want Xie Yin, some people want it, and Lao Tzu doesn't ask you to sign it.

The Kings are the weirdest, they seem to be indifferent to all the rookies, and they don't bargain over Xie Yin's contract.

Their minds are not on the rookies.

Falke knows the Kings could trade for the third pick.

Word has spread that Nelson Sr. wants to trade Richmond for the third pick.

But more than one team has their sights on this pick.

Falke doesn't know much about which other teams want to find out which team wants to sign and whether they have anything to do with Xie Yin.

All he knew was that the Lakers also sent someone to see the tryout that day.

After losing the Magic, it is not impossible for the Lakers to find Xie Yin, a Chinese magician, to take over.

In terms of market size, Falck definitely hopes that Xie Yin can go to the big ball market in Los Angeles.

The exposure of the Lakers is incomparable to a team like the Hornets.

And without a magician, Xie Yin can control the ball in the Lakers and grow savagely.

But the Lakers don't have a better leverage than Richmond at the moment.

You say James. Worthy?

Not to mention that the Lakers were reluctant to get rid of Worthy, who was selected for three teams last season and made great contributions to the Lakers.

Even if he wanted to, Worthy's trade was not worth as much as Richmond.

Worthy still played at superstar level last season, but he was 30 years old after all.

His level will not go up again, and it may even fall.

On the other hand, Richmond is only 26 years old and has room to rise.

If Falke himself were Kings management, he would certainly have chosen the latter between Worthy and Richmond.

Men, who doesn't like younger and tenderer?

If the top three picks don't pick Xie Yin, Falke feels that Xie Yin may be picked by the Heat in the fifth pick in the end.

The Heat's idea has always been to pick a guard, and Glenn. Les formed a backcourt double gun.

This defender had the best defensive ability to make Glenn. Les concentrates on scoring.

After the trial, the Heat also showed great interest in Xie Yin.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the top five picks are all likely to take Xie Yin except for the Nuggets who have locked in Mutombo.

But Falke didn't sit still, a week after the Finals and a week before the draft began.

Falck took Xie Yin to New York and took him to Rock Park, known as the mecca of basketball.

Falk did something very simple, he brandished a 100 Ugly Dogecoin and pulled Xie Yin to his side:

"Whoever can score a goal in front of this guy, these 100 dollars are anyone's!"

Of course, Falke brought a lot of bodyguards with him on this trip, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to be so rampant in Rock Park.

The people here are simple and hospitable, and they love to invite people to eat peanuts.

can prove himself again, have money to take, and be in the limelight.

This move undoubtedly attracted many street ball players to participate.

Some people don't know Xie Yin, and they just think it's not a big problem to bully an Asian stupid person.

Most of them know that Xie Yin was the MOP of the NCAA last season, but this has only aroused people's desire to challenge.

What about NCAA's MOPs? Twenty years ago, the famous Dr. J came to Rock Park and had to suffer defeat.

As a result, the event was extremely hot for a while.

The whole of Rock Park was in high spirits, and the stadium was packed with people both inside and outside the stadium.

Many even climbed on barbed wire to watch Xie Yin's game.

This lively scene even attracted a lot of media.

That's what Falck wants, this kind of heat.

Then, all the onlookers were completely conquered in Xie Yin's steals again and again in the top hat again and again.

In Rock Park, people respect the strong.

As long as you win, it doesn't matter if you're Asian or black, you can be respected.

At first, the onlookers may have been a little resistant to Xie Yin, an outsider.

But soon, the entire stadium of onlookers shouted Xie Yin's new nickname:

“big shady”。

It means a huge shadow.

Because Xie Yin's physique is really large on the street court, plus he is always like a shadow in front of defenders, and the surname "Xie" is similar to the pronunciation of the word shady.

For a time, Xie Yin's name spread all over the streets and alleys of New York.

Xie Yin fought non-stop in Rock Park for a total of four hours that day, and no one could take the hundred-dollar bill from his hand.

There was really no one in the back, and even some children came on the court to try to challenge Xie Yin.

Of course, these little children are not simple.

Xie Yin especially remembered two people, one named Alston and the other named Marbury.

Seeing that they had the courage to challenge themselves at a young age, Xie Yin admired their courage very much.

But courage is courage, and Xie Yin is also unkind.

Both Marbury and Alston had a dribbling bells and whistles, only to be overshadowed by Xie Yin standing up.

This "basketball dream" defense has caused tons of damage to Alston and Marbury's young minds.

Xie Yin shook his head when he saw the two of them so autistic.

Come on, you can't beat me now.

But......

In the future, you will enter the NBA, and you may not be able to beat me!

So, there's nothing to be discouraged about, just accept the fact that you can't beat me.

In the end, Xie Yin withdrew from Rock Park with a nickname that shocked New York.

Those streetball masters who were tired and tired of playing with Xie Yin for a day all felt that they had been deceived.

After a busy afternoon, the hundred-yuan bill didn't even touch it, but it made Xie Yin famous!

The loss is that there is no national anti-fraud app in this era, otherwise the server would have to be paralyzed.

Sure enough, the next day, Xie Yin's name appeared in the sports pages of major newspapers.

"The NCAA's first foreign MOP didn't drop a point in four hours at Rock Park."

This kind of title is very eye-catching.

Although beating a group of streetball players in Rock Park does not show Xie Yin's strength.

But it can illustrate Xie Yin's current business value.

After this battle, Xie Yin became more famous in Ameriken.

Ewing, as Xie Yin's senior, also frantically called Xie Yin when he was interviewed by reporters.

"Not to mention Rock Park, it's not easy for an NBA player to score on his head."

For a time, Xie Yin became the player with the largest draft traffic.

The limelight even overshadowed Larry for a time. Johnson.

Larry. Johnson was numb, Xie Yin got such a unique nickname, and I was called "Big Mom".

This......

O iniquity!

In fact, this nickname is already good, it is better than what Ah Tan, Wu Huang, and Six Bu Lang will be in the future.

On this trip to Rock Park, Falke was a gimmick for Xie Yin.

You see, our Xie Yin is so popular, if you choose to go, I will definitely be able to help you sell tickets!

What are you waiting for? 7 years 4100 has been a very conscientious boss.

What else do you want? 41 million lives are also good for you?

During this time, Xie Yin was not only in the spotlight at Ameriken.

I heard that a Chinese is about to enter the NBA and is also making a name for himself in New York.

Domestic journalists also smell it.

Although in the early 90s, Chinese people didn't know that much about the NBA.

But it's not ignorance.

As early as the 70s, the Bullets visited China and played against the Bayi team and the Shanghai team.

At that time, Da Yao's father was also mainly responsible for defending the season's FMVP Weiss. Unselde.

In '85, David. After Stern took power, he also invited the Chinese men's basketball team to Ameriken for a month-long "NBA China Friendship Tour".

Let the Chinese men's basketball team play friendly games with six different NBA teams.

Therefore, Chinese basketball fans probably know that the NBA is a basketball league with a very high level of basketball.

Even if the national team plays against the NBA team, they can't win even a single game.

There is a huge gap between the players of the two sides in terms of overall level.

And now, a young Chinese is very likely to enter the NBA as a top-five draft!

You can see how much of a stir this has caused among basketball fans and sports journalists.

Stern was not idle, and wrote early to invite CCTV reporters to report on this year's draft.

If all goes well, Xie Yin should be able to be a catalyst for the promotion of the NBA in China, and even the entire game of basketball in China!

In short, Xie Yin is in the spotlight right now, and all eyes are on the Chinese guard who dominated the NCAA and Rock Park.

God knows how many high-level meetings teams have held for Xie Yin.

Finally, the time has come on June 26th, draft day!

Three days before the draft, Xie Yin had just celebrated his 21st birthday.

Falke prepared a big cake for Xie Yin that day, but Xie Yin didn't eat a bite and distributed the cake to the waiters in the hotel.

Aside from talking to his family on the phone, Xie Yin hardly did anything special on his birthday.

It's still early to train, and then go back to the hotel to sleep.

Falck had never seen a young man so calm on the eve of the draft, but in fact, Xie Yin was also nervous to death.

Now that he is being advertised so hotly, it would be very embarrassing if he got the draft pick Waterloo.

It is not the embarrassing situation in the history of the NBA that he was invited into the small green room, only to be read by name in the second round.

Xie Yin is a Chinese after all, and the NBA has never had a Chinese player before, which may make teams distrust Xie Yin.

These factors may make Xie Yin's ranking not as high as expected.

In order not to keep thinking about this, Xie Yin could only numb himself through training.

Instead of rushing, it's better to train more and accumulate more experience points for leveling up.

Falck thought that Xie Yin would be very determined on the day of the draft, but when Xie Yin sat in his position, he was trembling nervously.

The NBA draft scene in the 90s was different from later.

During this period, the layout of the NBA draft scene was relatively simple, and there were not so many big screens with bells and whistles.

Instead of sitting in a private room, the representatives of each team have a table and sit directly on the table.

Seeing the team representatives on the stage constantly discussing and talking on the phone, Xie Yin's nervousness became even stronger.

I don't know if my fate will be changed by one of the phone calls.

"Don't be nervous, didn't Mr. Falck say it too, it's definitely fine."

Mutombo, who also came to run, patted Xie Yin on the shoulder.

Falke also smiled at Xie Yin: "Anla, it's impossible for something to happen if you fall to the second round." ”

"That is, if you all fall to the second round, then Mo Ning's level must not be lost." Mutombo hurriedly answered.

Alonzo:???

Why didn't you forget to bury me after graduation!

At the next table, seeing Xie Yin so nervous, Larry. Johnson smiled disdainfully:

"Heh, what do you have to be nervous about? You don't have the pressure to be the champion. It's not like me, hey. ”

"Yes, I don't have such a high-profile nickname as 'Big Mom', where is the pressure on you." Xie Yin smiled and fought back.

The corners of Johnson's mouth twitched, and he didn't talk to Xie Yin anymore.

You can't fight a fight, and you can't spray a spray.

Xie Yin, you're annoyed!

Falck found out that Xie Yin was not nervous at all when he was competing with others.

Your kid's heart is the same as a small head, it's big when you see the opportunity!

Finally, after a long wait, David. Stern took the stage:

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the 1991 NBA Draft!"

The choice of fate has officially begun!

With the first pick, the Hornets, who have the No. 1 pick, have five minutes to make a decision.

After Stern stepped down, the small electronic clocks on the tables of each team began a five-minute countdown.

On stage, representatives of all the teams were on the phone, answering the phone, or discussing passionately.

Truth be told, the tension in the '90s was even stronger because it exposed the team's management directly to the public.

Meanwhile, NBC ace host Bob . Kostas began to analyze the current draft situation with viewers watching live TV.

"The most likely two are Aunt Larry. Johnson and Tse Yin. ”

Accompanied by Kostas's voice, the live camera also gave the two of them.

Larry, who just said he wasn't nervous. Johnson, now also with a solemn face.

"Although Xie Yin defeated Larry in the March Madness Tournament. Johnson, but Larry is still a very talented player.

Both could be drafted at the top pick, depending on whether the Hornets want an interior or a point guard. ”

At this time, the official scouting report of the two was also played on the TV and on the big screen at the scene.

Xie Yin's basic data surprised people, with a height of 2.06 meters and an arm span of 2.28 meters.

The inside line is 1.98 meters, the point guard is 2.06 meters, Xie Yin and Johnson are really two wonders.

Xie Yin's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious, which is also what the Hornets are struggling with.

In the end it is Xie Yin and Larry. Johnson...... Tavodezik felt like his head was going to explode.

It's just five minutes, but it's a long time for Xie Yin and Johnson.

Xie Yin felt that he had to wait for half an hour, and the five-minute countdown was over.

Finally, it's time for choice!

David. Stern was back on stage, and he was probably the only one on the scene who could still keep a relaxed smile.

He opened the envelope in his hand and approached the microphone:

"The first pick in the 1991 NBA Draft, the Charlotte Hornets selected......

Larry. Johnson, from UNLV! ”

The moment Stern announced the results, Larry. Johnson stood up excitedly, arms raised.

The fans at the scene also cheered.

Xie Yin sighed, isn't the champion himself after all?

"It's okay Xie Yin, the champion is not the strongest player sometimes." Falck reassured.

Johnson originally prepared a 500-word essay to mock Xie Yin, but his mind went blank the moment he was chosen.

Champion, 110 million in 12 years.

100 million, 100 million, a lifetime and a lifetime can not be spent!

Hahaha!

Johnson walked up to the stage from David. Stern takes the Hornets' baseball cap in his hand.

Hornets general manager Tavodezik also breathed a sigh of relief, it was a difficult decision, and he was still struggling with the final 10 seconds.

The reason why he finally chose Aunt was mainly because of the fact that Auntie's technical shortcomings were not as big as Xie Yin's.

In the NCAA, Big Mom can abuse the frame, shoot the basketball, have good technique, excellent athleticism, and be more versatile.

Although Xie Yin's template is a supergiant like a magician, the bias is still too serious. If you can't practice shooting in the future, the flaw will be too big.

Even though he has chosen Auntie, Tavodezik is still not sure who will be better in the future, Xie Yin or Auntie.

He just thinks that it is safer to choose a more all-round aunt.

Seeing that the Hornets chose Johnson, behind the table of the Nets, Carlisle made no secret of his excitement and raised his arms high.

His movements were also captured live on TV:

It seems that Xie Yin is going to the Nets to partner with Coleman, the top pick last year.

Nets assistant coach Carlisle was celebrating in advance, and he may have been more nervous than Xie Yin just now. ”

But five minutes later, when Stern announced the Nets' selection, everyone heard an unbelievable name.

"The second pick in the 1991 NBA Draft, the New Jersey Nets chose ......

Kenny. Anderson, from Georgia Tech! ”

Everyone was stunned, Xie Yin and Anderson were both point guards, and Anderson was beaten by Xie Yin in March Madness.

As a result, the Nets didn't choose the stronger one.

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Nets: This is a unique selection strategy for the NBA Arkham Asylum~

In the audience, the Nets fans also booed, very unhappy with the management's choice.

They were all waiting to welcome Magic II, but the team chose a 1.8m street ball player, what are you kidding?

It can only be said that the Nets have been the head of the NBA Arkham Asylum since very early on!

Carlisle was also stunned, because yesterday he had already said that he would choose Xie Yin: "What's the situation!?" Does Xie Yin's excellence need to be elaborated more!? ”

Reed was unhurried: "Xie Yin is very good, but Kenny. Anderson's contract is more reasonable. Besides, Kenny isn't weak. ”

"But didn't we all discuss it yesterday to choose Xie Yin!?"

"Yes, it was discussed yesterday, but I just changed my mind."

"This ...... So what have I been doing all year!? We just missed out on perhaps the best player in this draft! ”

Carlisle was furious on the spot, he felt the distrust, the team's distrust of himself.

He was actually raising his arms stupidly just now, but the team didn't plan to choose Xie Yin at all.

Seeing Carlisle and Reed arguing, Costas, who was hosting the show, also began to speak:

"Ao, there seems to be a lot of disagreement within the Nets about this choice.

Coach Carlisle seems to be very unhappy with the management's choice, how did they discuss it?

Now, it's up to the Kings to choose Xie Yin.

If the Kings don't pick either, then Xie Yin may be the player with the highest expectations in this draft, but the player who has dropped the most.

However, this is also normal, Drexler was also predicted to be selected in the top three when he entered the draft that year, but ended up falling to the 14th pick.

I can only say that the draft meeting is like this, anything can happen. ”

Drexler: Don't whip, don't whip, I just lost to Danzi, can't I let go of my frustrated heart!?

The second-pick Nets did not choose Xie Yin, which made Xie Yin feel a little uncertain.

Because the Kings have always been the team in the top five that is the most indifferent to Xie Yin.

The camera also shows the small table of the Kings.

I don't know if it's a trick or really busy, Kings general manager Jerry. Reynolds never put the phone down.

One call after another, before this call hung up, another call was already waiting to be answered.

The members of their management also looked very nervous, and the camera was given to Xie Yin and Owens, and no one knew who would be the strongest Tanhua in 91 next.

"Got it, got it, Richmond and we're happy with it. But right now, I can't give you any answer, I have to answer the Lakers' call! Reynolds hung up Nelson Sr. and took another receiver from his assistant.

"Jerry, it's not that I don't give you face, but you know the chips for the Warriors. Jordan said that Richmond was the best shooting guard outside of him. ”

Invisibly, Drexler was milked again.

Jerry. West, the man who was behind the Lakers, didn't show up in the draft.

Because the Lakers don't have a first-round pick at all this year, there is no place for the Lakers on the field.

West was not in a hurry, even though time was running out, and he replied firmly:

"You listen to what Jordan said, he said before that North Carolina must win against George Town.

I'll tell you, Jordan's words, you have to listen to them in reverse!

Since Richmond is so strong, how can Drexler make it to the Finals?

And the players of the Warriors, the data has moisture.

Nelson's fast-attacking tactics have allowed him to have three players on his team who are averaging 20 points per game.

This is because the Warriors have more offensive rounds and more shots, so the stats look gorgeous.

But if Richmond were asked to change teams, his stats wouldn't be so good.

And the chips I gave you have been tested by the competition, and there are real honors!

Think for yourself, we're not in a hurry anyway, and we're not cornered. ”

West's tone was very calm, and he hoped to be able to put pressure on the other side.

West did make the decision to make this trade, and he did make a lot of determination.

But he still wants to be able to reduce the leverage of the trade.

Before the phone hung up, another phone rang again from Kings general manager Reynolds.

"I'm going to have to hang up Jerry, it's definitely the Warriors again. I don't have much time left, and I have to make a decision. ”

With that, Reynolds hung up the phone with the Lakers and picked up the phone from the Warriors again:

"This is the last offer, Richmond for Owens, what are you still struggling with?

Richmond is the best shooting guard in the West, even better than Drexler. ”

Well, there are people who are not in the draft, but they are like they are in the draft.

Drexler would never have imagined that he was here!

"Deal!"

"Deal!?"

"That's right, deal! We're going to help you get Drexler with the third pick, ah no, Billy. Owens, and then you guys give me Richmond, deal! Reynolds couldn't take it anymore and finally made a decision.

"Very good, happy to work with Reynolds!"

Old Nelson happily hung up, Billy. Owens has finally arrived!

In fact, the Warriors played well last season, and Richmond was a good fit for the Mad Scientist system.

But the mad scientist feels that the reason why the team has not been able to go further is because of the lack of a playmaker!

Organizing strikers is a very new concept in this era, but Mad Scientist is playing with a concept that is ahead of its time.

Don't ask why he didn't choose Xie Yin, although Xie Yin also meets the conditions of organizing forwards, the old Nelson's bombardment system requires everyone to shoot.

That's why old Nelson set his sights on Billy. Owens.

With 20 seconds left in the countdown, Reynolds asked his assistant to write Billy in the envelope. Owens' name.

As soon as the name was written and there were 15 seconds left in the countdown, the phone in front of Reynolds rang again!

"Pick it up?" The assistant looked at Reynolds.

Xie Yin's side, when he saw Stern on stage again, he felt like he was almost out of breath.

The Kings are his last chance to finish in the top three in the draft, and although the draft pick does not represent a player's ultimate achievement, Xie Yin still wants to be drafted in the top three.

Who wouldn't want to be a high-pick rookie?

David. Stern smiled and walked onto the stage, unwrapping the King's envelope and being stunned for a moment.

This......

Old Nelson let out a big sigh of relief, and the dust had finally settled.

As long as Billy. If Owens can play as expected, the Warriors will be able to take it to the next level.

Who wants to play your ugly defensive basketball and positional offense and defense, what defense can win the championship, I really don't believe it!

Stern paused for a moment, then approached the microphone again.

"In 1991, with the third pick in the first round, the Sacramento Kings chose ......"

"Billy. Owens! Old Nelson muttered in his heart.

"I chose Xie Yin, from Georgetown University!" What Stern said was completely different from what old Nelson had in mind!

"What!?" Old Nelson looked at Stern in surprise, is that guy old and dizzy?

Isn't the deal already done!?

To be honest, Stern almost thought he was dizzy from old age.

The reason why he was stunned for a moment just now was that he found that Owens's name in the envelope had been roughly crossed out, and then Xie Yin's name was rewritten.

He had never seen such a choice tangled to the last second.

However, Xie Yin's entry into the top three can be regarded as the result that Stern wants to see.

He smiled even brighter now.

Old Nelson glanced at Reynolds, only to see that Reynolds was smiling apologetically at him.

Reynolds and Nelson Sr. don't have any grudges, so Nelson Sr. is sure that Reynolds didn't mean to play himself.

The reason why that guy went back on his word after promising himself can only prove one thing - West made a whistle-blowing deal!

Xie Yin and Falke were very surprised, the Kings, who were indifferent to themselves, finally chose themselves?

So......

I really became the strongest Tanhua in 91!?

91, Tanhua, this is special......

It is destined that Xie Yin will be a particularly tight player in the future!

Before Xie Yin could react, Mutombo pushed Xie Yin out: "Congratulations to your brother, 91 Tanhua is the strongest!" ”

Xie Yin: ......

Xie Yin walked onto the stage under the watchful eye, and the fans in the stands were cheering wildly.

It seems that Kings fans are still very optimistic about the team's selection.

"Xie Yin was actually drafted by the Kings, so anything can happen in the draft.

Because as far as we know, the Kings didn't have much interest in Xie Yin before.

Anyway, congratulations to Xie Yin for being a member of the top three in the draft.

He will also become the first Chinese player to play in the NBA!

The league is becoming more and more international now, let's look forward to Xie Yin's wonderful performance in the NBA! ”

Under the introduction of the on-site commentary, Xie Yin stood on the stage and took the hat of the Kings. Stern shakes hands.

"I hope you can be a bridge of communication between China and the ugly, Xie." Stern has high hopes for Xie Yin, not only at the basketball level, but also at the business level.

Xie Yin nodded, so nervous that he didn't know what to say.

He took a photo with Stern, and offstage, the CCTV reporters who were invited to take pictures frantically, freezing this historic moment.

After the group photo, Xie Yin stepped off the stage, and according to the process, he would go to the commentary desk for an interview.

But as soon as Xie Yin stepped off the stage, he heard the system's prompt tone.

It seems that some reward has arrived.

But before I could see it, I heard a deal announced on the spot!

When Xie Yin heard this, he suddenly felt bad.

This is when the transaction ......

Isn't it Lao Tzu being traded?

Does it have to be so exciting?

Xie Yin also looked at the big screen, and sure enough, his name appeared on it, as well as ......

The Los Angeles Lakers' logo!

"What!? It's not the Warriors, it's the Lakers!

The Lakers and Kings made a trade!

The Lakers actually sent last season's All-Star forward, '88 FMVP James. Worthy, along with a '93 first-round pick, was traded from the Kings to get Xie Yin!

Xie Yin, became a Laker!

And Magic Johnson actually predicted his fate three months ago!

The Lakers really chose Xie Yin to take his place!

God, I've never heard of a Lakers wanting to make a trade before.

Jerry. West, this man, is really silent in making transactions!

They lost the Magic last season, but they are still a strong team.

Unexpectedly, they actually exchanged the star for Xie Yin!

Jerry. West is always going to do things that catch people off guard! ”

When Xie Yin was still dumbfounded, the staff immediately came up, took off the Kings hat in Xie Yin's hand, and then handed him a Lakers hat.

Xie Yin looked confused, in the original history, the Kings did replace their Tanhua pick, but not with the Lakers.

Has the butterfly effect caused by his arrival begun to appear?

Jerry. West saw Xie Yin with a confused face on TV, and a stone in his heart also fell.

Hopefully, this time he didn't make the wrong decision.

But speaking of which, the Lakers haven't done something like this once or twice.

Robbery, isn't that the characteristic of the Lakers?

The Los Angeles Lakers have always been a team that is good at robbery.

Excluding Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers' three-top combination, Magic and Worthy were all selected by themselves.

But do you think the Lakers got the No. 1 pick by playing badly?

No, they had enough to get the top pick to be included in a textbook on how the team works.

In '77, the Lakers let go of guard Gudrich Sr., and Goodrich joined the Jazz.

Although Goodrich signed to the Jazz on a free basis, the league had a rule at the time that veterans who signed free were also required to use draft picks to compensate their parent teams.

The Jazz gave the Lakers three draft picks in compensation, one of which was a first-round pick in '79.

The second year?

?? The Jazz are 26-56 and bottom of the league.

The Lakers used the No. 1 pick, which originally belonged to the Jazz, to select Magic Johnson.

In 80, the Lakers used Don. Forde in exchange for Cavaliers rookie Butch. Lee and the '82 first-round pick.

In the 81-82 season, the Cavaliers were 15-67 and finished at the bottom of the league.

Now the Lakers themselves are confused, damn it...... Why is it the champion again!?

I only won the championship the year before, how can I still get the champion after winning the championship? Can you still get one get one free?

If you want to do this, you're welcome!

In the end, as we all know, the Lakers used this No. 1 pick to take James. Worthy.

The trio that swept the 80s took shape.

Many people say that the Lakers are so lucky that their ancestral graves are smoking.

Two transactions, actually two times the dead cat met the dead mouse and got the champion sign.

However, luck aside, this is actually the great side of Lakers management.

This greatness is called a brave choice!

That's the style of Lakers management at the time, they were forward-looking, they didn't drag their feet, and they would definitely make changes when it was time to make them.

For the future of the Lakers, for the glorious purple and gold that will never fade. They are decisive, courageous, and resolute.

Well, this also sets off the future Lakers management quite brain-dead.

And the trade that just happened seems to be another replica of the Lakers' habitual operation.

They traded off James. Worthy, the Lakers' strongest player other than the Magic.

Worthy was also named to the All-Three team last season, an All-Star and a championship with the team.

exchanged him for a third-pick pick and took Xie Yin, which is not something that anyone has the courage to have.

Of course, whether West's deal was successful or not, whether it could be regarded as a robbery, cannot be concluded at this time.

After all, Xie Yin hasn't proven himself yet, and he may not be able to restore the Lakers to glory like Magic or Worthy did before him.

But whether it succeeded or not, Stern was very happy.

Xie Yin, the representative of international players entering the NBA, is a stepping stone to the Chinese market.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA's most high-profile and flashiest team.

These two combinations are fused together, and it is simply a big murderer with long legs, the best!

Stern wakes up laughing in his dreams!

Jerry. West was still frowning, and to be honest, he didn't know if he had made the right decision.

The main controversy over the last-minute deal between the Lakers and Kings was the '93 first-round pick in the chips.

In the beginning, the logo man was only willing to play James. Worthy.

Worthy is a superb assistant and a magician's best partner.

But after the Magic retired last season, the Lakers' results also proved that Worthy is not the kind of star player who can stand alone.

That's why the logo man moved to trade Worthy's mind.

Worthy has indeed done his best for the team and shed blood for the team.

But that's how brutal professional basketball is.

The 30-year-old three-liner, this kind of instant power is exactly what the Kings want.

Therefore, it is difficult to think that the transaction will go smoothly.

Who knows, an old Nelson came out halfway, and as soon as he came up, he offered Richmond with younger and better data.

The logo man respects Nelson Sr., but he feels that Nelson Sr. is really out of his mind on this deal.

The Kings took the opportunity to raise the price of the Lakers, and they wanted to get Worthy while also taking the Lakers' first-round pick next year.

The first-round picks in '92 and '93 were very valuable, and the players who were likely to run in these two years were all famous.

Big Shark, Ratner, Mourning, Jim. Jackson, Chris. Weber, Anferne. Hardaway, Jamal. Mashburn and many more.

All of them are geniuses who became famous at a young age.

To be honest, the lineup of the '91 draft is likely to be the worst in the past three years.

And the Lakers are destined to decline without Magic, so the draft pick may not be low.

The Kings want to be both powerful and want to close the potential stocks.

At first, the logo man didn't want to take the pick.

The draft picks of '92 and '93 are too valuable, and in case the Lakers really don't work, there are still draft picks to cover it.

Seeing that the Lakers were reluctant to give up draft picks, the Kings eventually decided to trade with the Warriors and take Richmond.

It wasn't until the last 15 seconds that Logo decided to give Worthy a '93 pick at the same time.

It's all to blame on Old Nelson!

Without him, the Kings still want draft picks? They're playing boogers and go!

The reason why the Lakers have been sneaking around and haven't leaked the news is that they don't want the other party to know their plans and take the opportunity to raise the price.

As a result, the old Nelson's knife cut the logo man very painfully.

In this wave, old Nelson inadvertently gave the king a divine assist, and he didn't get any benefit.

The 92 draft pick logo man still chooses to keep, although the Lakers will not be completely rotten, but in case Xie Yin can't do it, the Lakers will be able to stop the loss in time at the draft next year.

Prepare for everything, yes.

And just like that, a 15-second deal was made.

So don't think 15 seconds is short, 15 seconds is enough to do hundreds of millions of business!

And Xie Yin didn't know what was happening behind this at this time.

He froze in place, looking at the Lakers' baseball cap in his hand, completely confused.

Los Angeles Lakers, Xie Yin never imagined that he would eventually go to the Lakers.

Because before, the Lakers have never had any communication and contact with themselves.

By the way, during the last joint tryout, Michael. Cooper sneaked up on the scene.

Could it be that the Lakers started planning at that time?

At the urging of the staff, Xie Yin put on the Lakers' ball cap, and then walked to the back of the commentary table and sat down.

Costas looked at Xie Yin with a bewildered smile and patted him on the shoulder:

"Relax lad, I know it was a surprise, but ...... Welcome to the NBA, that's professional basketball!

So, now you're a Laker and you've really taken over the mantle of Magic Johnson.

What do you think now? ”

Xie Yin shook his head and took a deep breath:

"I'm excited and I'm going to do my best to bring out the best in whatever team I'm in.

I have a lot of respect for magicians, but I still want to be myself.

I don't want to be the next one, I just want to be the strongest Xie Yin. ”

Nonsense, does Xie Yin dare to be the next magician?

The stimulation of having children is not something that everyone can bear.

"Hahahaha, well said, be the strongest version of yourself.

But Lakers fans will definitely compare you to Magic, after all, the template on your scouting report is Magic.

The Magic forged the Lakers' glory in the '80s.

Does his accomplishments put pressure on you?

Moreover, the Lakers are using the meritorious veteran James. Worthy for you.

So other rookies may just have to do their best, but Lakers fans are definitely hungry for you to lead the team to some results.

Can you do it? ”

"It's a little stressful, but not so much that it crushes me.

As for winning...... Could it be that I lost to the Lakers? ”

Xie Yin's self-confidence made many Lakers fans who watched the live broadcast feel better.

I hope you kid will do what he says.

When they saw Worthy being traded, many Lakers fans rejected it in their hearts.

Worthy is extremely popular in Los Angeles, after all, he is a champion of the Showtime period.

Although in 90, Worthy was fished for prostitution and called room service, but two plainclothes women were called, which led to the collapse of the personality.

But Lakers fans still love him.

Worthy: Can I be blamed for that? The magician taught me to run and attack, but this was the only one who didn't teach me well!

A lot of Lakers fans are still scolding the team.

It's a shame that there is no Internet these days, otherwise there must be a lot of posts scolding the logo man on the Internet.

However, since Worthy has been sent away, Lakers fans must have high hopes for Xie Yin.

You'd better deserve the Lakers' price to pay for that!

It is said that Xie Yin is a Chinese magician, but I didn't expect that the Lakers really got him.

The draft has just begun, and it was a surprise for everyone.

After the interview, Xie Yin left the commentary desk and prepared to go back to the rest area.

But on the way back, Xie Yin was stopped by several people with Asian faces.

"Xie Yin, we are CCTV reporters, can you accept our interview?"

The person holding the microphone at the head waved at Xie Yin, and Xie Yin recognized him at a glance.

Isn't this Director Zhang who hasn't changed his name yet!

In 90, Director Zhang is still in Ameriken.

If memory serves, he would now be working in the finance department at the University of Chicago.

In a few years, he will become a senior manager of sales at Tsingtao Brewery's Chouguo agency in China.

That's right, Director Zhang's life is so tortuous.

Worked as a national team coach, wrapped the feet of NCAA college players, sold beer, and then worked as a commentator......

Because he had previous experience as a national team coach and then knew more about the NBA, CCTV would contact him to help with the interview.

Seeing the familiar person, Xie Yin smiled.

In this foreign country, it is not easy to meet a few fellow villagers.

"Coach Zhang!"

"Huh? Have you heard my story? Director Zhang was flattered, he thought that he had disappeared from Ameriken for so long that no one remembered him.

"Your eyes are full of stories! Without further ado, let's start the interview! ”

Seeing that Xie Yin was so enthusiastic, everyone was quite surprised.

After all, most of the selected players have already played big names before they go to the NBA.

But Xie Yin is different, he feels very kind.

Larry. Johnson: Xie Yin is kind? That's all delusion, delusion!

CCTV reporters asked Xie Yin several questions, but the most critical one was whether he would participate in the Olympics next summer.

Regarding this question, Xie Yin said that as long as the country recruits him, he will definitely go.

Chinese basketball from 90 to 10 years can still be saved.

With the end of the interview, Xie Yin's reputation will soon be established in China.

And Xie Yin didn't know that his joining the Lakers would make Director Zhang many years ahead of schedule and become a loyal lake honey.

Finally returning to the rest area, Mutombo happily came up and hugged Xie Yin.

"Congratulations buddy, you're going to the big city!"

"I don't know if it's good or bad to go to Los Angeles." Xie Yin said with a smile.

Going to play with the Lakers, the exposure is definitely very high.

But again, the margin for error is small.

In other places, such as Hornets playing games, you can brush the data unscrupulously and play as much as you want.

Not many people watched it anyway.

But with the Lakers, your every move is under a magnifying glass.

But if you don't do a good job, you will be exaggerated by the media.

Xie Yin also found that Falk was talking on the phone with his big brother.

I guess the Lakers called, and they are negotiating a contract.

It is not difficult to see from his expression that Falke was also a little surprised by the deal.

Before Falck could hang up, another of his clients, Mutombo, had already been read by Stern.

As in the original history, Mutombo went to Denver Plateau with the fourth pick in the first round.

An enthusiastic old man who has to ask for hot pot after people is about to show his enthusiasm in the NBA.

But speaking of which, Xie Yin was killed a year ago, and he couldn't have imagined that his final pick was actually higher than the team's boss Mutombo!

It's really impermanence in life, and the large intestine encompasses the small intestine.

With the fifth pick, the Heat had no choice but to choose Steve. Smith, and Billy. Owens dropped straight to the sixth pick.

can be called the man who fell the worst in this draft.

Nelson Sr. finally traded Richmond for Owens.

Years later, when Nelson Sr. coached the Mavericks, it was unknown how he would feel when he saw Richmond again.

The tears that will be shed at that time are all the water in his head now.

Richmond's exchange for Owens was definitely the biggest mistake of Nelson Sr.'s career.

There are some things that I feel good before I get them.

But after I got it, I realized that it was not like that.

At this point, the most interesting choices of this year's draft are over.

Xie Yin's trade to the Lakers is undoubtedly the most unexpected thing in this year's draft.

Carlisle was stupid, he talked bitterly for a long time, and the team chose Kenny. Anderson.

Moreover, Xie Yin was picked up by the logo man, which made Carlisle feel even more worthless.

Why did the Lakers choose Xie Yin? That is, I think Xie Yin can become the next magician.

Obviously we have a chance to choose the next supergiant!

The Hornets pick Larry. Johnson is understandable, but the second-ranked Nets actually missed Xie Yin, making Xie Yin fall to third!

Carlisle felt that this draft was very similar to that of '84.

Isn't this the same as the old path of the Blazers missing Jordan, the script is exactly the same!

In the future, when I look at it, the champion and Tanhua are all mature, and they are a waste!

Carlisle was angry, very angry.

He felt that all his efforts were in vain, how could there be such a brainless management.

In this case, I might as well have two babies with my wife at home in the past year!

After the draft, all the lotto shows went to the press conference hall.

But not in an interview, but with David. Stern came to take a group photo.

The 91st officially entered the Alliance!

At the end of the group photo, Falck drove Mutombo and Xie Yin back to the hotel.

In the hotel room, Falck told Xie Yin the details of the transaction in detail.

and told Xie Yin that the Lakers also accepted his 7-year, 41 million contract with a 95-year player option.

And Jerry. West has only one request: "Keep the Lakers competitive and at least make the playoffs!" ”

This is undoubtedly a very difficult task for a rookie.

If Xie Yin can't meet the requirements, God knows what kind of backcountry he will be thrown to.

Anyway, Jerry. West was very decisive when it came to making deals.

Scratch the prize, scratch a "thanks" word can be thrown away.

I thought they were all like warriors, and Wiseman had already scraped out the "Thank you for your patronage", and he still scraped it.

The logo man can't wait to see Xie Yin, so Falke has to take Xie Yin straight to Los Angeles tomorrow.

Falke told Xie Yin not to get too excited and rest early.

Xie Yin nodded, there is indeed a lot of pressure to play in the Lakers.

But there is pressure to be motivated.

Lying on the field, looking at Mutombo, who had fallen asleep, Xie Yin finally opened the system interface that he had been thinking about.

When he was just selected, Xie Yin heard the system prompt, but he never had a chance to check it.

As soon as he opened it now, Xie Yin saw a reward prompt: "Top three rewards in the draft!" ”

Good guys, there are rewards for the top three in the draft.

That's because the Lakers decided to add a draft pick to trade themselves, otherwise they would have been wrong.

After opening the reward, Xie Yin found that the reward was not the player's essence, but directly a badge:

"Badge: Two swords for victory."

Xie Yin: ???

The name of this badge is not very serious at first glance!

It's really me who came out to mix with three things: cowardice, unrighteousness, and betrayal of my brother.

And, why doesn't this badge show quality?

Whether it's bronze or gold I don't know.

Curious, Xie Yin hurriedly looked at the effect description of this badge:

"When your teammates are brutalized, you vow to avenge them.

The amount of physical cost slowed is positively related to the level of abuse of teammates, and only one teammate can be designated before the start of each match to enable the badge effect, and it cannot be changed.

If any teammate is injured and leaves the field by a criminal in the game, the state will be bursting on the spot, and all attributes will be temporarily +5 until the end of the game! ”

To put it bluntly, the worse the designated teammates are abused, the more energetic Xie Yin becomes!

If he was deliberately injured, then Xie Yin took off directly!

Sacrifice your teammates and fulfill yourself!

No wonder there is no difference in quality of this badge, because the quality depends on the performance of teammates.

I have to say, this badge is real...... What a person!

But Xie Yin also really likes it.

Such an inappropriate thing, please have more!

Why didn't you get this badge earlier, Mo Ning had suffered so much abuse before in vain!

With a badge of an inappropriate person and the identity of the strongest tanhua in 91, Xie Yin fell asleep contentedly.

I don't know what my Lakers career will look like......
