The Hawks and Bucks battled it out five times, and the Bucks emerged as the eventual winners, qualifying for the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Wizards.

Everyone thought that the Bucks would also be like the Pistons in the first round, shaved by Lin Yu, you must know that Lin Yu still holds a record so far, that is, the first two rounds of the playoffs have been swept by the opponent to advance.

However, in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bucks directly taught Lin Yu and the Wizards a lesson, they won the away road with accurate shots, and ended Lin Yu's record.

In fact, Lin Yu has long known that the most difficult thing for the Wizards to deal with in the East is the Bucks and the Pacers, the main reason is that these two teams are shooting types, so they can shoot their hands, which is really hard to beat.

Lin Yu just didn't expect to be deflated in the first game and cast the buck to death.

Ray Allen hit 6 three-pointers, and Lewis, a Blade warrior who had just joined the Bucks, was even more outrageous, hitting 8 three-pointers in the game, plus mid-range shots, layups and free throws, and scored 33 points in the game.

You know, this guy is just a rookie!

After the game, the elder Carl never closed his mouth and kept smiling.

"Lin, why don't you change your name, it's Angel-Lin, how about it? You are as kind as an angel and have sent such a great player to me. ”

"Seriously, he's my most coveted player, even if you take Kobe Bryant to exchange it for me, I won't change it."

Of course, the elder Carl also knew that it was a fluke to win this game, but when everyone thought that their Bucks would be swept away, he won the first game, and it was away, which made him raise his eyebrows.

Lin Yu couldn't afford to complain about Lao Carl's ability to take a name, what kind of thing Angel-Lin, it's better to stop a piece.

"Then what if I really trade Kobe Bryant with you?"

"Huh? Are you serious? Then I'll have to think about it. ”

"I've thought about it, change!" Old Karl's brain has reached the level of a light brain, because his consideration time is at the level of microseconds.

"Lin, I know you're joking, well, you're joking, right?"

"But you have so many top players, you can't keep all of them, even if they are all newcomers, and the top salary only accounts for 25% of the salary cap, then you can only keep at most three."

"What are you going to do with the rest of the bunch of people?" Old Carl asked curiously.

He asked this, not that he wanted to fight Lin Yu's autumn wind, but that he was really curious about Lin Yu's treatment plan.

Lin Yu sighed, if he knew how to deal with it, he wouldn't have been worrying about this matter.

The key is that this matter can not be solved at one time, the problem of contract renewal to be faced this year, we still have to face next year, and there are even more players who have to renew their contracts.

……

The next second game is still the home court of the Wizards, and this time the Bucks are not so lucky.

Lin Yu put Dazhi as the starter, specifically to prevent Lewis's shot, love to burst out, anyway, he just didn't let the shot.

Dazhi's flexibility is very good, his height and arm span are sufficient, and he is definitely a natural defensive shot, and Lewis was so miserable that he only scored 12 points in this game.

Lin Yu also put Kobe Bryant in the No. 1 position, and specially sent Bowen to start against Ray Allen.

The Bucks lost by 27 points in this game and were beaten by the Wizards who gave it their all.

……

After the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals, there are two things that are extremely important for Lin Yu.

One is the lottery conference, Lin Yu has hoarded a large wave of draft picks through transactions this year, many of which are lotto lotteries, as long as Lin Yu's luck is good enough, he may be able to get the champion pick.

Another thing is the regular season honors, which is also something that Lin Yu attaches great importance to, he worked so hard to make friends with the assistant coaches before, and it is time to accept the results.

In the evening of the next day, Lin Yu did not rush to the home court of Milwaukee, but nested in the office with Unselde, ready to watch the lottery meeting.

"We got the pick from Boston last season, and they helped us get the No. 5 pick, so I don't know if we can get a little better this time."

"Do you think it's possible for us to get the top prize?" Unselde said with a laugh.

If the Wizards do get the No. 1 pick, they will become only the second team after the Lakers to have a defending champion but have a No. 1 pick.

Before the Lakers won the championship in 1982, they got the Cavaliers' first-round pick in a trade, but the Lakers won the championship that season, and the Cavaliers had a bad record and won the first pick.

There has only been one such strange thing in the history of the NBA.

The probability of this kind of thing is extremely small, but for the Wizards at the moment, the chances of them winning the top pick are not small.

In the previous trade, Lin Yu got the 1999 first-round pick of the Bulls, Magic, Bucks, Grizzlies, and Cavaliers, as well as a second-round pick from the Knicks.

The Magic and Bucks are both playoff teams, and their first-round picks have nothing to say, and the Knicks' second-round picks have nothing to say, they are all fixed picks, but the Bulls, Grizzlies, and Cavaliers are lottery picks, and they have a chance to draw the top pick.

In addition, Lin Yu also used Nowitzki to make a trade with the Mavericks in the last draft, getting Pierce from the Mavericks, plus a 99-year first-round pick swap with the Mavericks.

The Mavericks didn't make the playoffs this year, and they also have a chance to pick the top pick.

There are a total of 13 lotto draws, Lin Yu has four in his hands, and except for the Mavericks, the other three teams have a very bad record, Lin Yu does not say that there is a fifty percent chance of getting the champion sign, at least forty percent.

Forty percent is already a big odds, and a little luck can get the champion in hand.

"Here we go, let's hope we have the best of luck." Lin Yu saw Stern appear on TV, and hurriedly signaled Unseld to be quiet.

After going through the lottery process, Stern came back to the stage, and after drawing a card, Lin Yu could clearly see that Stern had a very strange face.

"I declare that the team that received the first pick in the 1999 NBA Draft is the Chicago Bulls!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu and Unselde were silent at the same time, and then they were both overjoyed.

The two chatted for a long time, but they didn't expect that they really got right, and they really let their wizards draw a champion lot.

The previous deal between the Wizards and the Bulls was officially announced, and fans across the league knew about it.

The defending champion has a champion sign, how do you look at this thing.

Of course, Lin Yu is also happy, under normal circumstances, the 1999 draft pick is Captain Elton Brand, he was indeed drafted by the Bulls first-in-class pick, and later was traded to the Clippers and got the nickname of the captain.

Brand is a ruthless 20+10 machine and has maintained such a statistic for most of his career.

Lin Yu has no shortage of big forwards in his hands, after all, he has Xiao Ao, Dazhi and Big Mom, and Brand's style is almost exactly the same as the early stage of Big Mom's career, they are all quite retro old-fashioned big forward style, the difference is that Brand is slightly taller, 203 cm.

It is precisely because of Brand's extremely old-school style of play that he is nicknamed "Chevrolet Classic Car", in addition to this nickname, there are also "Steak Chef", "Mustang", and the most interesting nickname is "View".

Many players in the NBA league have unfathomable nicknames, such as answers, truths, and later Embiid's "process", plus Brand's "opinion", which is directly enough to invent Newton's second law.

Although it is not very important to ask for Brand, but this is a serious candidate for the top prize, and he will definitely not suffer a loss if he chooses it, and Lin Yu is definitely not willing to miss it.

Just when Lin Yu was thinking about how to allocate the playing time in the No. 4 position in the new season if he won Brand, Stern came out again.

This time, his expression was no longer weird, but a look of hell.

"I declare that the team that received the second pick in the 1999 NBA Draft is the Vancouver Grizzlies!"

Lin Yu was stunned, Unselde was confused, and everyone was confused.

How so? After the Wizards won the top pick, they actually took down the list again? Is there any reason left?

If you want to say that the Wizards won the championship and won the championship, at least there is a precedent for the previous Lakers, and they can endure it by gritting their teeth.

But now the Wizards have directly got the champion sign and the list eye sign, which is too jaw-dropping.

Not to mention the Wizards, who have won one or two picks in a row, is a team that has won two of the top five picks, which has never happened in the history of the NBA.

It's not uncommon for a team to get two lotto picks, the Magic team drafted last season, they are two lotto picks, Green Kai in '96 is also two lottos, and the superSonics in '87 and '79 and so on.

However, none of these teams have a high lottery pick, the most prominent of which should be the 70-year supersonics, who hold the No. 6 and No. 7 picks.

It's unimaginable that a Wizard who directly won the No. 1 and No. 2 picks is unimaginable.

The key is that the Wizards still have the Cavaliers' first-round pick next, and the Cavaliers' record is quite rubbish, so they won't let the Wizards continue to draw the Cavaliers, right?

When Stern returned to the stage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if Stern hasn't read out the attribution of the probe lottery, looking at his relieved expression, it is obvious that he can't be a wizard.

Even Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, if they were to continue to draw the probes, they didn't know how many conspiracy theories would be raised.

It may be said that Lin Yu charged Stern with thousands of Q coins in exchange for the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua.

The probe flower sticks belong to the wasps.

In fact, the ownership of the top three picks is exactly the same as the 99 draft in Lin Yu's memory, and there is no change at all.

It can't be said that there has been no change, after all, the champion pick that originally belonged to the Bulls and the Grizzlies' list pick have become the Wizards' bag.

The Los Angeles Clippers drew the No. 4 pick, the Raptors drew the No. 5 pick, and the Timberwolves drew the No. 6 pick.

waited for the next No. 7 lottery, and was drawn by the knight this time, which is equivalent to being drawn by Lin Yu.

Then after waiting for a while, the Mavericks drew the last lotto lotto, that is, the 13th pick in the first round, then Lin Yu must not let go, and must use the first round of lottery swap rights.

In this way, Lin Yu will have four lotto picks in the next 99 draft, namely the champion pick, the list eye pick, the No. 7 pick and the No. 13 pick.

In addition, there are the 18th pick of the Bucks and the 23rd pick of the Magic, as well as the 17th pick of the second round of the Knicks and the 29th pick of the second round of the Wizards.

There are a total of 8 draft picks, not as good as 9 last season, but this time the quality is super high, and the highest draft pick in Lin Yu's hands is only the No. 5 pick in the 98 draft.

"Lin, we are developed!"

"With so many high-pick picks, we can make at least 50 million next season by selling players." Unselde's eyebrows fluttered.

Lin Yu nodded, in the short period of time just now, he had already planned how to use these eight draft picks.

The top pick is definitely still going to pick Brand.

As the saying goes, the draft is big and not good, and Brand is an inside lineman with strong strength, so he must be selected.

As for the list of eye signs, Lin Yu was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to choose Francis the boss or Byron Davis with the beard.

Both men are point guards, but their styles are different.

The beard is a traditional point guard, while Boss Fergus is an offensive point guard.

The organizational skills of the two are definitely a little stronger than the traditional point guards.

However, Lin Yu still has a traditional point guard Billups in his hand, and it doesn't seem to be much necessary to take another traditional point guard.

And Boss Fu is extremely righteous, after Yao Ming entered the alliance in later generations, he got a lot of care from Boss Fu, every time Yao Ming was bullied on the field, Boss Fu was always the first to rush forward and pull Yao Ming behind him, and then sprayed each other with each other.

The most classic famous scene should be that in order to protect Yao Ming, Boss Fu used his thin figure to desperately push the little bully Stoudemire, which moved many Chinese fans.

Yao Ming is a very lucky person, he met a conscientious and patient coach like Tang Shuai, and a big brother like Francis.

Even Boss Fu was able to scold the coach angrily for Yao Ming, Tang Shuai missed the game due to physical reasons, and the team's assistant coach Larry Smith played an extremely bad game as the acting coach, he threw the pot of loss on Yao Ming, caught Yao Ming and scolded him, and as a result, Boss Fu went back.

To be reasonable, if Boss Fu is the kind of person who is jealous of his ability, it would be easy for him to destroy Yao Ming, not to mention anything else, isolating Yao Ming in the locker room is enough for Yao Ming to drink a pot.

Originally, Lin Yu was more inclined to choose the offensive Boss Fu, and thinking of these things strengthened Lin Yu's mind.

Yao Ming was protected by Boss Fu during his rookie period, so Boss Fu should be protected by himself during his rookie period.

The knight's No. 7 pick, there is nothing to say, the only thing that can make Lin Yu look at it is the hacker Marion.

The word all-round seems to have been coined for Marion, who is probably the most versatile two-way forward in NBA history.

Super rebounding ability, super defensive strength, super fast offensive ability, super steady, the probability of mistakes on the court is extremely low, if it weren't for his ugly and smoking appearance and shooting posture, his achievements are unlimited, and he may be selected by Stern as the league's signature.

If Marion had Jordan's face and Jordan's perfect and gorgeous style, he would be the league's signature supergiant.

It's a pity that Marion doesn't look much better than the alien Cassel, and his shooting posture is a three-eight putt......

As for the No. 13 pick swapped with the Mavericks, Lin Yu is ready to use it to select super macho Cory Margety.

Margeti's upper limb muscles are definitely at the level of a big mom, his body is a work of art, and he can be a successful bodybuilder even if he doesn't play.

In addition, Lin Yu already has Kobe, and he also wants to make up a Washington double department in Washington, maybe he can also have a resident halo?

The Bucks' No. 18 pick, this is a draft pick that Lin Yu feels is very chicken.

The only one who has a chance to choose this pick is James Posey, his strength is a bit average, only about 10 points and 5 rebounds in his peak season, and his defense is not bad, but it is far inferior to Bowen.

The key is that he is still a swing guard, and there are so many swing guards in Lin Yu's hands that he can swing from Washington to Mexico.

Even Corey Margety, he's a swingman.

If the 18th pick can go up two or three picks, then Lin Yu will be able to select Artest, the first small forward beast in the online article.

Big Ben is known as the first center of online literature, because many basketball novels like to write heavily about Big Ben.

Artest is the No. 1 small forward in the online article......

The No. 1 point guard is Billups......

The number one striker in online literature, of course, is Xiao Ao......

Lin Yu thought that when the time came, maybe he could trade this 18th pick and continue to trade it up, then he could take down the beast.

Lin Yu actually really wants Artest, and having such a good fighter in the team can always give people a great sense of security.

The Magic's 23rd pick has nothing to say, they can only choose AK47 Kirilenko, and if Lin Yu doesn't choose, he will be selected by the Jazz, which is a situation he definitely doesn't want to see.

Lin Yu had already decided that he was going to kill Jazz, and he didn't want Jazz to get any valuable resources.

Then came the Knicks' 17th pick in the second round, and Lin Yu was ready to select the Argentine demon knife Ginobili, and he didn't want the Spurs to continue to grow.

Because of a miscalculation before, the Spurs got Mashburn for nothing, and Lin Yu didn't want to make a second mistake because of the same mistake.

If the Spurs didn't get Mashburn, then it wouldn't matter if they took Ginobili, but with Mashburn and Ginobili, it would be enough for Lin Yu to drink a pot.

If you don't take Ginobili, you're an enemy!

As for the Wizards' own second-round 29th pick, Lin Yu is ready to use it to select 3D quarterback Ragabel.

He was originally an undrafted pick, and he could gradually blend into the perfect backcourt partner for the Suns' Nash, relying on a ruthless force.

Locking Kobe Bryant when defending on the court, that is a classic famous scene of Ragabel.

With a full eight draft picks, Lin Yu has almost planned how to use them, and now he is waiting for the draft conference to officially start in a month and a half.
