Chapter 56 The draft pick is messed up! The undercurrent is turbulent, and the Lakers will no longer be ok to form a cabinet?

"A new history is born! Mo Ran, a Chinese player, became the No. 1 pick in the 1996 NBA draft!"

Celestial Dynasty, Central Television Studio.

Sun Zhengping called out excitedly: "Director Zhang, we Mo Ran made history!"

"I already guessed the ending!

The old man Zhang Geli also smiled happily: "This champion signed Mo Ran, that's an absolute question!

It's just the Vancouver Grizzlies,

Zhang Wenli felt that this team was not suitable to ask Mo Ran.

Vancouver is such a cool city.

But that's okay.

It is enough to be able to enter the NBA. If you want to go to a big city, you can go there in the future when you are worth it!

"Unexpectedly, and unexpectedly, Mo Ran was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 draft!99

At the draft conference, ESPN, T, NT TV stations and other American media commented on the scene, and they all expressed their opinions:

"Vancouver Grizzlies are freshmen who just joined the league last season, and Mo Ran is the first No. 1 overall pick in Grizzlies history."

"They only tried out Allen Iverson and Mo Ran, and if you had to choose between them, Mo Ran was really the best choice."

During the explanation of the on-site commentator, Mo Ran also stood up and hugged John Thompson and Allen Iverson next to him in turn.

"Dude, I wish you "seven two three" good luck."

Patted Iverson's back, Mo Ran took the hat handed over by the on-site staff.

At the same time, he also received a text message on his mobile phone.

This is a text message from Bill Duffy, Mo Ran's agent signed on the eve of the draft.

The content is simple:

"Vancouver is not the end, deals are being negotiated,

Obviously, the Grizzlies won't keep Mo Ran on their team.

There are already team chips that have moved them.

Trading Mo Ran for the greatest benefit is why the Grizzlies selected him with the No. 1 pick.

But anyway, Mo Ran put on the Grizzly hat first, walked to the front desk, and shook hands with David Stern.

"Welcome to the NBA, young man."

Stern patted Mo Ran's strong arm: "I will give you my contact information later, and if you encounter anything in the league in the future, please call me for help.

Compared with the future Adam Xiaohua, Mo Ran still feels that David Stern is more cordial.

After a casual chat with the old man, Mo Ran stepped down and was cut off by ESPN reporters for a wave of post-election interviews.

"Mo, congratulations on becoming the first Chinese champion in NBA history, how does it feel to be selected?

"It feels good to be selected, especially as the No. 1 overall pick."

Mo Ran's answer was very simple, without any controversy, and also avoided the potential pit dug by reporters.

While Mo Ran was being interviewed, David Stern read out the Boston Celtics as the No. 2 pick.

"In the 1996 NBA draft, the second pick in the first round, the Boston Celtics selected — Allen Iverson, from Georgetown University!"

The Georgetown Twins swept the top two picks in the '96 draft.

However, the management of the Celtics at this time has long been a mess.

Picking Iverson was Auerbach's idea.

Similarly, the pursuit of Mo Ran with Iverson as the main body of the transaction is also the meaning of the Cardinals.

In Auerbach's view, Iverson's height of 1.83 meters will definitely not be the cornerstone player for the rise of the Green Army.

Even if Mo Ran can't be exchanged, he will have to exchange at least two All-Star-level police players, and he will be able to release them.

The Grizzlies management's phone has been blasted.

General manager Stu Jackson was not waiting for a call from the Celtics.

He was waiting for a third party from Jerry Westella.

See what kind of offer LOGO can finally get, and seek a deal to get Mo Ran!

certainly.

If there are other teams who can give Qin the same impressive chip, Stu Jackson doesn't mind letting other teams take Mo Ran away.

Iverson, who was the second overall pick of the Green Army, went to Mo Ran as soon as he stepped down, and asked for a shadow with his good brother.

Georgetown University has also become the first university in NBA history to swept 1st or 2nd place in the draft.

Coach John Thompson had a smile on his face.

you need to know.

How helpful is this kind of police record to the admissions of a university?

John Thompson can already predict that Georgetown's new basketball rookies in the new season will be superheroes from all states!

Without Allen Iverson, the Philadelphia 76ers chose Stephen Marbury without any hesitation.

All they need is a defender.

Marbury's performance against George Town in the NCAA knockout stage was considered to have conquered Philadelphia.

To be selected in the top three picks, the Colt is also very happy.

After stepping down, he also had a brief chat with Mo Ran and Iverson.

Mo Ran is also very emotional.

Back in the day, there has always been a legend that the Philadelphia 76ers would choose Marbury instead of Iverson.

As a result, now, without Iverson, the 76ers really chose Marbury!

"Fortunately, you are no longer teammates, otherwise I would still be unable to win 1v2.

Marbury did not forget to complain before leaving.

He is inseparable from the stalk of his teammates CBA anyway.

With the fourth overall pick, the Toronto Raptors directly selected Marcus Camby.

Guys, Camby was a proper No. 1 pick in the 1996 class before he faced Georgetown.

Even if it's not as good as Mo Ran, being able to pick him up at No. 4 would make the Raptors' management face smile.

What is a leak?

That's called stealing!

Fifth overall.

The Milwaukee Bucks directly drafted Sharif Rahim.

In fact, the Bucks' original favorite candidate was Ray Allen.

But they didn't expect that Raheem could drop out of the top four?

This is no longer a leak.

This is a pie from the sky!

The superstar of the University of California is definitely the most underrated existence among the rookies this year.

After winning Raheem, the Bucks feel that the team is expected to rise in the new season!

The sixth pick belongs to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves management was so busy during the five-minute selection period.

They originally wanted to choose the best guard left after the 76ers selected one of Iverson and Marbury.

As a result, in the top five picks, there is not a single guard left!

This made the Timberwolves management anxious.

In the rest of the rookie list, the Timberwolves management chose the Connecticut star shooting guard Ray Allen.

The new season, they are counting on Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett friction fishing sparks.

The Timberwolves found a musketeer for KG.

With the seventh overall pick, the Los Angeles Clippers took Antoine Waugh with a backhand.

No, no, no.

Wouldn't someone really choose this NCAA runner-up forward in the top six?

Since there is no one selected in the top six, then the Clippers naturally have no suspense to win it.

Then, with the eighth overall pick, the New Jersey Nets chose Corey Kidles.

The draft order that followed was not much different from what Mo Ran remembered.

Apart from:

The Dallas Mavericks did not draft Samaki Waugh as originally planned.

Instead, it took Lorenzen White, who was supposed to be the seventh overall pick.

With the 13th overall pick, the Charlotte Hornets chose Kobe Bryant, the best high school player in Pennsylvania.

"Hmph, Mo, that kid Kobe is also a lottery pick."

Iverson, who was sitting off the court watching the draft, communicated with Mo Ran next to him: "I have long seen that this kid is very talented, and I don't know how he can develop in Charlotte."

"He could be traded."

Mo Ran gives AI spoilers: "Look, Allen, Charlotte is not Kobe's home, he should be traded to Los Angeles."

"Trade to LA? Why?

Iverson doesn't believe this: "If you say that, I don't think Vancouver is your home.

"Mo, I think you'll be traded to LA!"

Good guy, is it really Los Angeles per capita?

Mo Ran is also too lazy to refute Iverson.

Where Kobe ended up going will soon have an answer.

Then, with the 15th pick, Mo Ran saw another man.

The Phoenix Suns selected Steve Nash.

Of course, it's not the old Xiao Na now, very immature.

He still has to go through a wave of the sun to the Mavericks, and then from the Mavericks back to Phoenix, he will be able to achieve a brilliant awakening.

The next draft conference is proceeding in an orderly manner.

After all the first-round drafts are over, the second-round drafts are also over soon.

After the draft was all over, Mo Ran didn't wait for the news that Kobe was traded.

"Mo, sit down, we should go.

Iverson patted Mo Ran, who was wrong next to him: "You're not still thinking about a deal, are you? 33

"Don't worry, there will be no trades, even if you are sent to Los Angeles, the Kobe kid won't be sent away.

In Al's view, pre-1.4 testing the operation of the team's management is not that easy.

If it was between player trades, Mo Ran would have guessed so easily.

What the hell are the general managers of these teams doing?

"Not right."

Although Mo Ran was still obedient, he turned around and left.

But he still felt wrong.

Although the top six picks, and even the top ten picks, the choices of many teams are not the same as what happened in their memory.

Kobe Bryant was selected 13th overall by the Hornets!

The Lakers traded Divac to get Kobe Bryant, and it will not be affected by the change in the previous rookie selection at all.

There is only one reason why the transaction that should have happened didn't happen.

That is, the Lakers put Divac, the chip used to acquire Kobe Bryant, into other trading plans.

Doesn't this mean that…

The Los Angeles Lakers don't have an OK group to ask?!

After thinking about all this clearly, Mo Ran was a little stunned.

good guy.

This wave is a bit big!
